'I reckon the most excttin' race I ever see" observed the man with the faded hair. after an interval of si+ lenee, was between two Mississippi river steamboats. The engineers crammed the furnaces with bacon and everything else in the cargoes that would make hot fire. The Prairie Rose was the name of one boat and the Minnesota Belle was the other. but everybody knowed it was a race between the engineers, for the reason that they'd had a fight in St. Louis once. was on the Rose, and we was chinnin' the passengers on the Belle. It wasn't more'n forty feet away, and the boat that got around the Big Bend first we knoWed would win the race -" Which got there frst?" asked one of the listeners, tired of the oratory.

four Famous Statues.

The most famous statues in history are the Colossus of Rhodes, the Sphinx and the vocal statue of Memnon at Thehes, and of these the last is the most remarkable, in consequence of fts property of emitting sounds when it's lips were touched by the rays of the rising sun so that it seemed to greet the coming day. It was originally a portrait model of King Amenophis IT., and was one of pair of statues be- tween sixty and seventy feet high, carved out of single blocks of sand stone and transported from the quar- ries to Thebes, whereas the Sphinx was carved from the living rock in the place where it now stands.
 Of statues not so well known the caost remarkable is that of BHfdha at Nara, gar Kioto, in Japan, wnlch was erected A. D. 11e0. It is made of bronze, ard is ffty-three feet six inches high and more than twenty eight feet broad across the shoulders. On it's head are 966 curls, and the im- age is surrounded by a glory or halo seventy eight feet in diameter, on which sixteen images eight feet long are cast. Two smaller images, each twenty-five feet high, stand in front of the larger one. The total weight of metal m the main figure is about 450 tons, of which 50a pounds consist of gold.

Poor Return for Courtesy.

The London Daily News says that the Russian man-of-war Gerzog Edin- burkskij, whose officers and men were recently the recipients of Swedish courtesy at Kariskrona, reciprocated by secretly taking soundings under cover of darkness until they were dis covered by the governor of the for tress. Kariskrona is the chief naval station of Sweden; it's approaches are well fortified by modern naval de- lenses, and it has also ship channel WhicA is difficult os ca9. .gasion.

Enchre an Old French Gams.

Euehre is the ancient French game of triomphe The early French set tiers brought the game to America and played it with thirty-two cards. As commonly played in this country to- day twenty-four cards are used in four-handed games. The books gener- ally give thirty-two cards as the proper number, but that number is not justi- fled by American usage.

Samoan Gentleness In War.

War is savage in its "ery nature, and one looks for war among savages to be peculiarly barbarous. IT. such is not always the case among the peo- pie of Samoa Is attested by z letter sent from Samoa by an American gen tlemaa who recently visited Apia, and who gives a description of Mataafa' 8 army in camp after a battle between the rival claimants to the throne:
 We went all about among the huts where the sayages were resting after the battle and making preparations for the next fight. It was a very peaceful scene, for their arms were all conceal ed under the mats, where the men sat, and many of the soldiers were accom- panied by their wives and children. They were amusing themselves by smoking and beating tom-toms.
 ''The Samoans are a most amiable race of sayages, and white people are always perfectly safe among them. Everywhere we are greeted with smiles and friendly mods and the salutatioa esTalofa, which means Love to you, from men, women and children.
 'One instance of their friendly feei- ing occurred during the big battle. 4 white man, who lived in the street where they were fighting, saw that two of his horses had strayed out be- tween the hostile lines. He did noI want to lose them, and he did not wan, to venture out in the line of fire. g. he stuck white flag out of his win dow Upon seeing it, both chiefs CT dered their men to stop firing and hos tilities were suspended while he whit man went out and drove his horses | a place of shelter Then the combat ants went at it again"

In the California theater. San Fran cisco, the other night, Otto Kawakami and Mmes Yacco and their company of rising Japanese actors and ac
 Efesses appeared for the first time in America, in no less than four different 2.sees. At first sight and sound the -as.Fe Japanese drama is rather a diff tlt problem. Its tragedy does not
 Ike a serious dent in the American
 ,'1itor, and its comedy does not strike am as the most joyous thing in the world. The Japanese actor, one finds, expresses pathos though his nose; be- roics, in blind staggers, and humor in acrobatic fip-faps. He gnuffles when ne IS saddest. And as there was a great deal of sadness in the first two pieces presented last night, there was deal of snuffling. Our Japanese townfolk filled the gallery and seemed to find delight in these nasal special. ties, but the people downstairs didn't appear to know just how to take them. The plays are childishIy primitive and With the aid of the arguments" print Ed in the programme. quite intelligibIe. The first one, "The Duel" displavs beautiful scenery and costumes and dtyerting sword fight. The second, "Kosunoki, ]" Is full of fights, during which the actors employ themselves iR many realistic tumbles from a pile of stage rocks some fifteen feet in height. Hypnotism also seems to have place in this piece, as one no- tlces that many Japs fall down van quished at the mere glance of the hot eyed hero. The most interesting in plot is The Temjye of Dojoji," which IS built around the Japanese legend of the bell in which the lovers hide and are cremated by the jealous woman's wrath. In this Mme. Yacco, who tm- personates the yengeful rival, executes a dance that is full of unique steps and poses. The performance closes wit. what is archly entitled Dewey Day Celebration on the Pine Fringed Shores of Miho." Here the Gefsha dances are Introduced with pleasing result. An other diversion that comes earlier in the programme is a song, accompanied by the characteristic Japanese instru- ment, the shamisen. The song itself Is long-voiced falsetto and painful ta the ears, but the accompaniment is in. teresting from technical standpoint at least. Cut to practical proportions, this Japanese show ought to have curious interest for all play-goers. But in its present shape the Jap auditors seem to have most of the fun. As picture. 1t is well worth taking in, the scenery is striking and the costumes are splendid It is quite like an ani- mated Japanese screen.

She is One of Forty Wives

Chicago, Oct. 81 Chief of De-
tectives Coleran received a tele-
gram from Baltimore today stating
that Walter L. Farnsworth, the
confessed bigamist now in Jail here
and who is said to have had forty
two wives, is wanted in that city
for marrying four women under
the name of Sterling Orville Thom-
as. This is supposed to be his
real name and the prisoner does
not deny it. Marie Larson, 7lS
Sixth street, Philadelphia also
thinks she is one of Farnsworth's
wives and has written Captain
Coleran to send her a picture of
the bigamist Her marriage took
place year ago.

EUROPEAN INTERFERENCE.

esterday telegraphic advices
from Berlin announced that Ger
many is quietly mobilizing her
armies, and that as the government
is maintaining absolute secrecy as
to the cause for this, there is much
speculation as to what prompts
the action. Many take it that it
means preparation for concerted
action on the part of European
powers to prevent Great Britain
taking possession of the Transvaal
and the Orange Free State if the
war ends victoriously for that pow
err The strongest evidence, how
ever, that there is no foundation
for this position is furnished by
the diplomatic corps, the members
of which are supposed to know a II
that is going on in European coun-
tries. None of these gentlemen
believe there is a possibility Of
such concerted action against Brit
ain. Some of them do believe,
however, that if the Boers can pro-
long the war for a long enough
time, Russia, for selfish purposes
in India and Asiatic points, may
gently twist the lion s tail. In
that case war between Britain and
Russia wonld ensue,
This possibility gives rise to fur
ther speculation as to what this
government would do in such an
event. There are those even in
official circles at Washington who
declare that the least Uncle Sam
could do would be to accord Great
Britain the same moral support
which she gave us i'll our war with
Spain.
What will be the ultimate result
of the Transvaal war, time alone
will reveal, but at present there
seems to be no well founded rea-
sou for fearing that it will culmin-
ate in inter European warfare.

Cheap Railroad Fares.

A comparison of the railways of
India with those in the United
States is interesting and at the
same time instructive. India has
a length of23,000 miles of railway
lines in operation, which was con-
structed and put in operation at
an expense of 1851, $4,000. Their
last years gross earnings amount
ed to $S7,SS5,56l and their net
earnings to SAG, ,079,62l, leaving a
profit on the investment of 5.31
per cent against; 5.04 per cent in
the preceding year. The average
passenger tariff per mile is 226
cents for first class, lib cents
for second class, 0.56 cent for in
term ediate and 03 cent for third
class. Taking the intermediate
class as the one used by the bus
iness and laboring people, who
can travel in India for about half
a cent per mile, and if that is too
much he can take the third class
and pay about a cent for three
miles. Denver Post.

road, shot in many places, and about
quarter Of a mile further on we found
two soldiers putting the poor fellows body
into a carriage. What happened TO him
between the point where his horse was
killed and his body found? 1 am afraid
they tortured him. The body looked as
if it had been dubbed to death. OF course
he should have been made a prisoner,
but the Filipinos take no prisoners
Here is an incident brighter than the
last one On the first day 1 met an
EngILshman with his wife and baby,
driving in an open victoria. We had just
passed a place where they were throwing
shells over the road. OF course the
noise was terrific, and the poor woman
was naturally scared nearly to death.
She asked me what 70 DO. The man sat
there like a suet pudding. I advised her
10 wait until they had fired a shot and
then drive Ike the devil across the dan
gerous place. She thanked me. and as
