LIZARDS SEIZED A SCHOONER.
Hundreds of the Reptiles Make Life
Miserable for Golden Sheaf Crew.

From the Philadelphia Times.
The schooner Golden Sheaf arrived in
port yesterday from Jamaica with cargo
Of logwood and ued up al her wharf, so
terminating pleasant voyage of twenty
five days In addition 10 the logwood the
Golden sheaf has passengers. something
which might be regarded as rather IN
usual In a vessel hating from the Black
river district of Jamaica However those
which swarmed the hold of the schooner
are not human tourists. They are liz,
ards and it is perfectly safe TO say tina, a
more remarkable collection has never be-
fore been brought TO any port.
Lizards big and little and of medium size
greet the inquisitlve visitor to the dimin-
utive vessel from the tropics. They have
seized upon che Golden Sheaf as their le-
climate home and there Will likely be
trouble in store for those who have to do
with the schooner until she is rid Of her
queer occupants. Capt Chandler has
hauled in his staunch craft many a cargo
of logwood before, so he is not complain
ing. He knows that the presence of the
animals is a seemingly necessary adjunct
wherever this valuable commodity is on
board and he has become Injured by asso-
citation TO their peculiarities. Not so The
crew. as many of them have never before
sailed a craft similarly loaded and are con-
sequently unacquainted with the playful
habits of the lizard, and they do not feel
as much at home among tnem at the Gold
en- Sheafs captain.
The lizards secTete themselves in the
log wood before it is loaded at Black river,
possibly even before it is RATED down.
They prefer that species of timber to any
product of the tropical forest, which IL
their home They arrive on board unsus-
pected and may remain undecided until
some mariner happens to step on one with
mis- bare feet. After that nobody goes into
the hold unless forced to.
Capt Chandler says there are a thous-
and in the hold of the Golden Sheaf. At
least there are present half that number.
They are of a beautiful green color with
ever-changing hues like those ascribed to
the dying dolphin. In size they are above
the average, with body eight inches long
and tail giving an extra length of six
This tall too, can be parted with very
easily by the animal II needs but
touch, the appendage is in your hands
and the owner is gone. Their eyes are
black and beady, and when they are di-
rected full at an unlucky tar 1t Is small
wonder that he quakes In his boots.
How to get rid of the pests Is a question
readily answered by Capt. Chandler, and
that is simply to take them back They
Will leave the vessel as sure as fate as
soon as their home is sighted again This
strange fact received ample verifcation
in the case of the brig Atalanta, formerly
In the logwood trade between Carthagena
and Philadelphia. She brought almost a
million lizards into a certain port and
all effort to dislodge them failed. 1t is
said that az a loss the Atalanta was sent
TO Carthagena when after her arrival
the last lizard had crawled off and dis
appeared. So the Golden Sheafs only
remedy is to return.

Toledo, O., May 20.-The little town of
AIalnta, west of this city, has become

the younger girl was nowhere TO be found
Subsequently her sister found her in her
room, weeping and discousolate. Pressed
for an explanation. she condded to her
sister that she could not marry Rendce
as she loved Benson better.
The elder sister. while amazed, remarked
that she thought just as much of one as
she did of the other. Mary shyly hinted al
an exchange of lovers. The sisters dis
cussed the subject seriously, and called
the young men to a conference. As re-
sult a general exchange was agreed upou
ana the young men FASTENED to the county
seat to get their licenses changed. Mean
while the guests were wondering WHY The
men had left the house. They were
amazed when. after the brdegrooms' re-
turn and the local minister called upon
the two couples 10 stand up for the cere-
mony, they observed that a general shift
had occurred.
The parents Of the brides demanded an
explanation before the ceremony proceed
ed. after which they expressed themselves
satisfied, and all ended happily.

eted honor. Satisfaction given here
means a card for the orchestra else

A school and collegiate department
will be In full operation, and these
will be In charge Of the best instruc-
tors. The course will embrace litera-
ture, languages, mathematics, natural
history, general history. pedagogy,
child study, and kindred branches and
domestic science, II there be enough
applications for the same. Philosophy,
religion, art. and music will be given

1t Is doubtful II there be more sue
cessful teacher of art than Mrs. John

great phIlanthropist rs well as lee
turer, and gives the proceeds Of her
work towards the maintenance Of the
Working Girls Home In Chicago. In
the Windy City she Is considered u
great drawing card, and her ant con-
ferences are filled with the best and
most cultured people. She was mt
Boulder last year, and 1t Is possible
that she will be again welcomed there
ut the Chautauqua at It's second ses-
sion. She has studied In all the Euro
pean centers, and the course In art
will embrace studies OF art In all the
European cities. She travels with n
real art gallery, and she illustrates by
photographs all her subjects. She Sc
cured at a great expense last year
some Of the most noted paintings and,
with a heavy insurance on these, she
was able to present to her classes these
masterpieces Of the brush. The course
this year. will be most earnest one,
and the knowledge gained will be n
great eye.opener towards the apprGcia-
ton of the beauty in art and natu"s
hereafter.
In conclusion, II might be added that
the Chautauqua pays no dividends and
is not conducted for personal profit.
All surplus made by the Chautaudua
Is to be spent In improvements. The
auditorium came In for its share this
year and it was necessary TO remodel
il a little to accommodate n greater
number. The organization Is COM
posed Of men Of broad sentiments. who
love this wonderful country and feel
that in the West ought TO be devel-
oped a great summer-educatiOnal and
health givIng center, where thousands
NAV find each year recreation and ad-
vantages Of intellectual growth.
