THE PHONOGRAPH

A master of languages in New York
is said to be teaching United States Off
GERS in the Philippines how to speak
Spanish without leaving his profession
al chambers. He does it by means of
the photograph. He speaks a lesson
into the instrument, and RENTS the cy-
Under, along with a printed slip, to his
pupil at Manila. The pupil puts the cy-
Under into his own instrument and
makes it repeat the lesson, the meaning
OF the words being rot from a Spanish
dictionary. When the pupil thinks he
has got the lesson perfectly he speaks
II into his monograph, and sends the
cylinder to New York. The professor.
after listeing to it, sends back a written
slip of corrections. The professor be-
lieves that the extra trouble is more
IMAM compensated by the greater eff
fectiveness of the method, one phono-
graphic lesson being equal to thirty oral
ones.

YAOUI INDIANS

Ell PASO, Tex, August A dispatch
received this evening from Hermosillo.
Mexico, the headquarters of the Next
can army operating against the Yaqui
Indians, says: The Mexican Govern
ment anticipated the Indian outbreak
and had been making heavy shipments
or war material into the state of Sono-
ra for two months. On the other hand,
the Yaquis had been preparing for the
conflict for two years.
General Torres, commander of the
military zone, was not killed as report
ed, but wounded in the thigh, and is
now very low. The government will
place 10000 men in the field if necessary.
The rebellious Yaquis now number 1000
well armed warriors. Sixty Indians
were Killed in the fight last Friday and
twice that number wounded. The tele-
graph wires between Vican and Potam
have been cut by the rebels, and the
troops are without communication with
headquarters. 1t is authoritatiVely re-
ported that the Indians have slaught-
cred both women and children and that
many American proSpectors in the
mountainous region have been slain.
ST. LOUIS, August A special to
the Republic from San Antonio. Tex,
says: News reached here today that
Walter Hemming, an American from
this city, had been killed in raid by
the Yaqui Indians in the mountains
east of Guaymas. Hemming left here
in April last with two companions to
search for gold in the Yaqui country.

FAMOUS HUNTERS
OF LARGE GAME.

The killing of large game is not left
TO men alone. Many women are we'll
known among the hunters OF big game.
They have become expert huntswomen.
and many trophies adorn their homes.
One OF the most noted sportswomen is
Mrs. Crofts, who resides in Cork. She
can boast of a record which many a
sportsman envies Not only has she
killed large number of tigers and other
large animals, but she has the trophies to
prove her prowess.
Mrs. Crofts lived in India for several
years and it was in the jungles of that
country that she first showed her ability
as an expert rife shot In the wilds OF
the maharajah of Kotah and the mahara
iah of ThaliSwar, in Rajputana she ha J
killed many wild beasts. In this section,
she has record o. a tiger a panthery

The whole thing was fraud and a
swindle, but 1t could be worked again

When lamb drops thousand dollars
in speculation in Wall street he bleats
until his voice is heard clear to Chi
cago. When one of what they call the
gang gets bit for 5000 in a visionary
scheme he holds his peace and keeps
his name out of the papers.
Schemes? Why, every day brings
half a dozen, and the more visionary
they are the quicker they will find cap

here from the Klondike and exhibit a
rough map and title to claim, and
I'll guarantee him buyer in one day:

who seemed to be straight and honest

South American States. He had with

he had picked up in watercourse. He
had mapped the country, taken steps
to secure a concession, and there were
q score of reasons to believe that he
had the biggest thing on earth. ke
was anything but talker Or pusher,
and yet greenbacks and certified checks
rained down upon him. If he'd been
a man of cheek he could have got away
with sufficient Doodle to finish the
Panama canal, but his good luck
frightened him. That gave capitalists

NOT FISHING FOR FUN.

Il was out in Montana for my
health said the judge from New Jer-
sey, and as | couldn't shoot. nor ride
nor play cowboy, the only diversion
lett was to fish. went to pool in the
river about two miles from the house,
but for the first five or six times / did
not land fish. In fact, l didn't care
to. 1t did me good to sit there on a
nat rock and look at the scenery and
feel that was gaining pound of flesh
per day. One morning, after break
fast, | took novel along to read as I
nshed. and after throwing in the hook
sat with the pole under my leg and
began to devour the first chapter of
the book. l felt half dozen nibbles,
but would not exert myself. After "a
time, however, l felt such a humping
big bite that | had to pay some atten-
ton to it. Selling the pole with both
hands l gave a jerk, and up came
trout weighing about half a pound
laid out so much strength that he went
sailing over my head and among the
rocks to the rear, and as l half-turned
to get up and find him at the end of
the line, | caught sight of something
to curl my hair. A big mountain lion
was in full view, only about ten feet in
the rear, and he was just gulping that
trout down. I had never seen one of
the beasts before. but 1 didn't stop to
wonder if it might not be a giraffe
with his neck shortened He'd come
creeping down through the brush to
make hash of me- and but for that fish
coming over when it did, her have
probably made his spring.
Let me tell you that was scared.
Every ounce of my flesh from head to
heel was on the creep, and my tongue
was as dry as leather l don't claim
any credit for not making a bolt. in
which case the beast would have been
on me with rush. 1 had no plan-no
idea-but the first thing l knew l had
my f1shline back in the water. That
lion was hungry, and if he'd fill up on
fish instead of judge, it was my bust
ness to supply him. The hook had
scarcely touched the water when | got
second victim and whirled him over
my head. The lion stood waiting, and
he had him off the hook and into his
stomach while you could count five.
Then l began fishing as no man ever
flshed before. l figured it out that it
would take at least fifteen good-sized
trout to make that big beast a square

information. | can't begin to tell you
what they wanted to know, but they
certainly made life a burden to me-
Times without number a man would
spend an hour about the monument
and then tackle me with:
"'This is the real thing, is it.?
"'This is the Bunker Hill monument,
of course.

verify his statements. The man was
a fraud and liar Not the slightest
trace of gold could be found in the To-
calities indicated, and about the time
the reports were due he disappeared.
He got about ten thousand dollars out
of it, but it was entirely his fault that
he didn't get hundred times as much.
And about the silver mines of the
west. There is little doing nowadays,
and don't believe the best of the lot
would fetch its value, but up to ten
years ago the Wall street man who
wouldn't snap at a silver mine would
have been looked upon as back num-
Der. All man had to do was to come
here and show title and the figures
of the assay. There might be hole
in the ground, or his mine might be
the peak of some mountain, but it
would sell and sell again. l am the
owner of shares in no less than fifteen
so-called silver mines in Colorado and
Nevada, and if put on my oath I'd have
to say | didn't believe the whole col
lection ever produced a single ounce of
silver. There was a man from Color
ado in this Office only yesterday, and
the fact that he did not get $4,000 out
of me is rather a surprise to myself.
They raise very big and very luscious
watermelons out there, as you may
have heard or read, but the distance Is
so great that none of them are shipped
east Well, the idea is to organize the
Great Western Preserving Company,
and by new and patent process pre-
serve two or three million watermelons
each summer for winter consumption.
The originator of the idea is now work
ing the street, and the odds are five TO
one that he carries his scheme through.

'If you were not an heiress,' he said
