OBITUARY.

Whereas. on the 18th day of March,
1899. the Great and Supreme Ruler
of the universe has in His infinite
wisdom removed from among us our
highly esteemed friend and neighbor,

known, was born in Pcnnsylvania in
1918 but removed to Indiana with his
parents when but child. lie then

RACING THE MOON.
Over the Siberian Railroad Earth's
Circuit May BE Made in
Thirty Days.

A military gentleman declares that
n the year 1902 he intends with a friend
20 travel around the world in 30 days
His companion will be Prince Hilkoff
the Russian minister of railways, says
Stray Stories.
Suppose he says, 1--WE start from
Baltimore. 1t is, say, 3, $50 miles to Seat
tie; then, via the Pacific, to Yokohama
$500 miles, whence to Port Arthur, via
Nagasaki, it is 1900 miles more.
AT Port Arthur we leave ship, and,
yoing ashore, otake train on the Man
churia extension of the Transsiberian
railway for st. Petersburg. 5000 miles.
thence by rail direct to Berlin, eco
miles, and on to London. $50 miles. Ship
again. this time on the Atlantic. to New
York, $500 miles. winding up with 200
miles or less of railroad.
The total of rail travels 10, roo miles,
and of water $500 miles. an aggregate
of 1900 miles.
AN average of 40 miles an hour by
train and 20 by ship would insure the
transit within 80 days.
Prince Hilkoff declares that with the
completion of the great Siberian line 10
Port Arthur and Ta-Lien-Wan in 1902
he will make the time from London TO
Shanghai - days.
The distance from London to Yoko-
hama has already been done in 20 days.

AFRICAN RIVERS.
Eight Months Out of Twelve They
Are Dry and Drifts of sand
Mark Their Course.

It is distinguishing feature of most
African rivers that they contain no
water for at least eight months of the
year. 1t is true that water can almost
always be found in river bed by dig
ging for il, but in outward appearances
river is usually a broad belt of sand
lying between high and precipitous
banks. Many and many coach has
been upset in one of these drifts, as
they are called. The descent is always
steep, frequently so steep that the
brakes cannot hold the coach, says
Gentleman's Magazine.
They start going down at crawl,
and then the coach gathers way and
goes on with a rush, the mules are
driven into a heap anyhow, and one
wonders that they do not get their legs
broken; but they usually land all right,
while the coach, practically unmanage-
able, goes down like sort of toboggan,
Jumping from stone to stone, and sway
ing like a ship in a sudden squat, and
may or may not arrive right side upper
most at the bottom. In fact, the pas
senger who has gathered his ideas of
coaching from a trip to Brighton or
drive to Virginia Water. finds that he
has a lot to learn about the subject
when he gets to South Africa. Still, on
the whole, it was wonderful how few
accidents did occur, and if one consid-
ers that the coaches ran night and day.
and that when there was no moon il
would sometimes be too dark to see
The mules from off the coach, it reflects
great credit On the drivers.

THE LADY OR THE TIGER.
This One Had Number of Very
Good Reasons for Not
Marrying.

One would scarcely go to the noun
tains of West Virginia to find even so
much as a semblance to the story of
The Lady or the Tiger, but came very
nearly doing it on one occasion.
had been invited, largely as recogni-
ton of my position as the representa-

even the oldfashioned quadrilles and
that kind. At the moment | was sit

about not being married. She was "a,
which is old-maidhood in the noun

girls, of whom there are very few
among the mountaineers.

reckon" she said, with a shake of her
head.
Eyes, there's Jim Mullins. He wants
you. Why don't you marry him?" |
asked, with a little more directness
than might have characterized my ut
terances in a more conventional atmos-
phere.
"Huh!" she shifted. "Jim's red-head-
ed, and frecklier'n turkey aig.''
John Horgan isn't. What's the mat
ter with John? I'm sure he would have
you quick enough if he could get you"
You're foolin', colonel she said,
blushing little. Anyhow, 1 don't

good fellow, and would make a good

GENTLENEss IN WAR.
A Singular Characterfstic OF the
Samoans-An Illustrative
Incident.

War is savage in its very nature, and
one looks for war among savages to be
peculiarly barbarous. That such is not
always the case among the people OF
Samoa is attested by letter sent from
Samoa by an American gentleman who
recently visited Apia, and who gives
description of Mataafa's army in camp
after battle between the rival claim
ants to the throne, says Youths Com
panion.
1--WE went all about among the huts
where the savages were resting after
the battle and making preparations for
The next fight. 1t was very peaceful
scene, for their arms were all concealed
under the mats where the men sat, and
many of the soldiers were accompanied
by their wives and children. They
were amusing themselves by smoking
and beating tom-toms.
1.-The Samoans are a most amiable
race of savages, and white people are al
ways perfectly safe among them.
Everywhere we were greeted with
smiles and friendly mods and the saluta-
ton, 'Talofa,' which means Love to
YOU from men, women and children.
Zone instance of their friendly feel
ing occurred during the big battle. A
white man, who lived in the street
where they were fighting, saw that two
of his horses had strayed out between
the hostile lines. He did not want to
lose them, and he did not want to ven
ture out in the line of fire. So he stuck
a white flag out of his window. Upon
seeing it, both chiefs ordered their men
TO stop firing, and hostilities were sus-
and drove his horses to a place of shell
ter. Then the combatants went at it
again"
