quiet, unassuming man has already
come to be called. has already refused
several millions sterling for his prop
erty, and in spite of the agitation In
the colony to rescind the bargain there
seems every reason to believe that Mr..
Reid will live to enjoy one of the larg-
est private fortunes of the period, and
to acquire n European reputation for
his sagacity in exploiting a huge island
which was barren when he appeared
on the scene.
But this singular man has had, in a
measure, to pay the penalty which for
tune so often eXacts from the success
full. His career from the day, forty
years ago, when he left his native
Scotland to seek his fortune, has been
full of many of the rough spots of the
earth and hard work and exposure,
especially in Newfoundland and Can
ada, have obliged him for time to re-
lax his energies. But even while he is
thus forced to seek an Algerian re-
treat, the mighty work of developing
so vast n property goes increasingly on.
Reid possesses pluck as well MS ability,
for upon Il recent occasion he ventured
into mine whence no one of his work

with Many of Them,
The English traveller Mr.. Alfred B.

Nyanza to the mouth of the Congo in
three months, the quickest time OH rec
ord, using the Congo steamboat service
and railroad for two-thirds of the way,
travelling through the great equatorial
forest of which Stanley gave SO vivid
description. His route was little to
the south of SANKEY'S road, and he saw
much of the dwarfs who inhaDit the
forest region.
81 was three weeks crossing the
great forest" he said. "Often the dark
ness even at midday is remarkable.
Sometimes l was unable to read at
noon, when as you know the sun near
the equator is almost directly over
head. One day ! tried to photograph
my tent, but failed on account of the
dimness of the light. walked through

saddle ass with me. could not use
him without constantly exposing my
self to the danger of being unsaddled
by the vines that hung over the path.
We sometimes narrowly escaped being
killed by the fall of enormous trees,
some of whose trunks measured over
20 feet in circumference. The silence
of death reins in this forest unless
broken by animals or the fall of trees"
Mr.. Lloyd saw many more dwarfs
than Stanley met in the same region
and thus described them:
81 saw great many of the pigmies,
! but, generally speaking, they kept out
of the way as much as possible. AT
one place in the middle of the forest,
called Holenga stayed at village of
n few huts occupied by so-called Arabs

There came upon great number or
pigmies who came to see me. They
told ME that unknown to myself they
had been watching me for five days,
peering through the growth of the
prmeval forest at our caravan. They
appeared to be very frightened, and
even when speaking covered their
faces. slept at this village, and in the
morning asked the chief to allow me
to photograph the dwarfs. He brought
ten or fifteen of them together, and l

could not give n time exposure as the
pigmies would not stand still.

President Faure is known to have

while Marshal MacMahon found his
salary and allowances so inadequate,

all sorts of foreign royalties to the
French metropolis, that when he finally
retired into private life he found that

THE CITY OF NEWSPAPERS.

Paris Has Over $500 of Them and
More Coming.
Paris publishes new newspaper Mt
every fresh sensation. The population
of the city of Paris at the last census
was 2,50O,000, and, according to the
recently published Presse Annuaire for
1890, the newspapers Of the city now
number 1851.
There are in Paris at present 14O
daily political newspapers, but how
many there will be next week or
how many the week after is practically
impossible to state. If public occasion
demanded there might be another
dozen. OF the political organs in ex-
istence ninety-seven come under the
category of republican. thirty are con-
sentative and thirteen are socialist.
The maintenance Of so many social
list newspapers in one city is strongly
Indicative of the extent to which
French papers take up and consider
politics.
The price of French newspapers is
high and the reading matter is small in
amount. French newspaper readers
do not require much news and are per-
fectly satisfied to depend upon the post
Office as IN ordinary channel of COM
munication whenever the telegraph
fails.
More Importance is attached to liter
ary style than to exact details in local
ws-gatheling, and it is, therefore,
possible to publish with entire pecunl-
airy success Paris newspaper from
the columns of which all items of ex-
pensive news are omitted.

Of Doubtful Percentage, the Filipino
Leader Is Well Educated, a Lover of
Freedom, Great Organizer and a
Cunning Diplomat.

Aguinaldo is highly interesting
character. He has had remarkable
career for SO young man, and events
seem to point to him from the first as
man of destiny. His complexion is
about half way between the reddish
brown of the Malay and the olive of
the Spaniard. There is yellowish
tinge about it which, taken in connec-
ton with his forehead, would lead one
to infer that a modicum Of Chinese
blood flowed in his veins, and that In
his pedigree was some individual of
lgorrote-Chinese or of Tagalo- Chinese
characteristics. Upon this point 1t will
be difficult, If not impossible, ever to
learn the exact truth. So deep has
been the moral mire of the Philippines
under Spanish rule. so universal the
immortality of the dominant race, that
neither the civil nor religious authori-
ties have ever cared to keep any record
of the alliances and misalliances, the
births legitimate and illegitimate, the
wives, concubines and mistresses,
slaves and abducted women who have
hlled the long years of Spanish rule.
In his features, face and skull Aguin-
aldo looks more like a European than
Malay. He is handsome, according
to Spanish standard OF masculine beau
ty. Friends and enemies agree that he
Is intelligent, ambitious, far-sighted,
brave. self-controlled, honest, moral,
vindictive, and at times cruel. To those
who like him he is courteous. polished,
thoughtful and dignified. To those who
dislike him he is insincere. pretentious,
vain and arrogant. Both admit him to
be genial, generous, self sacrificing,
popular and capable of the administra-

David Glasgow Farragut, first admiral
of the United States navy, was born in
Tennessee. He entered the navy as a
midshipman and fought his first battle on
the Essex in 1914. He served in the navy
fifty-eight years. Hc was 60 years of age
when the civil war came. His first orders
in that conflict were to capture New Or
leans, which he did under heroic circum-
stances in 1862. In this battle he de-
stroyed forts carrying 100 guns, twenty
armed steamers, four ironclads and Il
multitude of fire RATS. He was made n
rear admiral for this in 1862. In 1868 his
fleet aided in the capture of Vicksburg
and Port Hudson, and one year later cap
tured Mobile. 1t was ut Mobile that he
was dashed to the rigging of his flagship,
the Hartford, while under fire. For his
bravery Congress made him a vice-ad-
miral in the fall of 1864, and in 1866 the
Office of admiral was especially created
for him. After his elevation he was placed
in charge of the European squadron Of
this Government. He died at the Ports
mouth navy yard unexpectedly in 1870.

hausted diplomacy completely and then
prepared to fight. AS an organizer Of
