GOLD HUNTERS
Captured and Tortured by CannibaIs-
But One Escaped.

Vancouver (B. c. Cor. st. Louis
Globe-Democrat: Advices were re-
ceived by the steamer Aorangi today of
the capture and death of some mem
bers of a gold-hunting party in New
Guinea, headed by two Germans named
Stoltz and Frost. They hired seven
Kanakas, and, proceeding up the New
Guinea coast, entered the harbor dur
ing rough weather. They landed, and
the two Europeans were captured by
the natives, who are accredited With
being cannibals. The boat was seized
and burned and the Kanakas were
heard of again. The two men
were terribly treated, and, becoming
sick, Frost shot himself through the
head to end his sufferings. Shortly
after Frost's suicide Stoltz was tied to
a tree and hourly expected to be the
victim of the natives c~annibalistic
propensity. Instead of making a meal
Of him, however, his captors decided to
treat him as a white slave, and took
all kinds of care to insure his captiv-
ity, when a vessel CHANGED that way.
His special vocation was to do the
carrying work for the tribe into whose
inhospitable hands he had fallen, but,
at the high festival, his chance came,
and while the tribesmen slept sound
ly he padded away in a canoe. He
had only a small amount of provisions,
and padded for ten days among small
islands along the coast before he found
a German settlement.

PARA RUBBER FARMS.
THE TRUST FIENDS BEATEN BY
THE BRAzILIANS.
The Trade Is RECOMMENDATIONS Awaiting
Shipment to the Port of New York
Aa English Syndicate Makes a Failure
In the Fields. .

Syndicates don't have everything
their own way down in Para, Brazil,
according to a report just received at
the state department from Consul K.
X. Kennedy regarding trade there. He
says:
The profits OF the rubber trade have
attracted the attention of foreign capt.
talists. The newspapers published a
few days ago a cable from London an
n~ouncing the formation of a syndicate,
with a capital of $4S,665 900, for the
exploitation of the rubber business.
Difficulties will be encountered, how
ever, should the syndicate, instead of
making the purchase of the rubber it
self in Para, attempt to buy the rub
Der farms. The estates are controlled
by the %avaidores, who supply the rub
Der gatherers with food and clothing,
advancing money against the rubber
to be gathered. Unless an understand
ing is had with the avaidores, the rub
Der gatherers will sell neither the
farms nor the rubber.
Another smaller syndicate, formed
in England for the same purpose some
weeks ago, succeeded in buying a few
farms in the Marajo Island, near Para;
but the prices were excessively high
some say four times as much as any
n else would give, and more than
double the amount of their value. Sew
eral representatives of other syndicates
who have made accommodating trips to
the rubber regions of Para and ANA
zonas, stated ON their return that the
field is enormous; that the further up
they go the more rubber they see, and
that rubber gatherers are only work
ing the smallest portion of the trees
in their estates.
THE total quantity Of rubber re-
ceived at this port during the month
Of February already aggregates upward
of 1000 tons, and it now seems posi-
lively certain that before the end of
the month the figures will exceed 5000
tons, or nearly double the amount ever
before received at this port during
n month. This most extraordinary
movement has given room for the
widest speculation. Prices have gone
UP and down. Every business house
is heavily loaded with orders.
"The Red Cross steamer Camatense,
which bears this report, is carrying a
record-breaking cargo of rubber. She
arrived here from Manaos with a trife
over 400 tons on board, and she is to
take 900 and odd of the 1000 tons OF
rubber now in Para waiting for room
in the steamers bound for New York.
This total of over 1900 tons is nearly
double the amount usually shipped by
a single steamer. Fifteen additional
vessels have been added to the various
fleets plying between Para and outer
+, ports since the first of the year, the
majority Of which run up the Amazon
passing through the newly explored
rubber states"

To Stop Pauperism,

The municipal authorities of Mons,
Belgium, have just adopted a resolu-
ton which will prevent children from
being born paupers in that city. Every
child born in Mons, after being regis
tered officially, will have a bank ac-
count opened in it's name with the city
post one franc for the infant, who,
when he arrives at a sufficient age,
will find this as a nucleus to augment
with his penny savings. The original
deposit of one franc car not be drawn
at any time, but the interest accruing
is the property of the young deposition.

BAT FLEW

|
Int" tss Boom where a Professional
Was Reading Poe's Raven
"a weird sort of thing happened
down in Palm Beach about a month
ago." said a Washington man, recently
back from a trip along the South At
lantic coast. "a professional actor OF
some note was giving swell society
readings down there, and on this par
ticular night he was rendering Poe's
Raven with accessories-that is, the
readings took place in the big drawing
room Of one of the large houses of
Palm Beach, and one end of it was
fitted up to represent the study Of the
man who had the creepy experience
with the bird. There was the bust OF
Pallas above the chamber door, the
students lamp, the volume of long
forgotten lore which the actor pom
dered as he started the recitation. The
only accessory lacking was the bird
from nights P%lutonian shore Per-
haps a hundred Of the members of the
winter colony at Palm Beach were
seated in the drawing room listening TO
the reading, when the queer thing hap
pened. The actor had arrived at the
knocking on his chamber door, when
a huge bat few in through one of the
open windows. The bat circled round
and round the room, humping against
the walls and ceiling, and finally went
smack against the plaster Of paris bust
of Pallas and toppled it over There
was a whole lot of stampede in that
drawing Don when the cry, "A bat!'
was sung out, and the women were in
a panic. The reader didn't seem to
ache to get On thick, talking terms
with the bird of evil omen either, and
he was on his feet and lodging as
quickly as any of his listeners. The bat
finally made a swoop when the room
was almost emptied, and got it's
clutches in the hair of a young woman
who was just about to escape out of
piercing screams and tainted. The bat
released it's hold on her hair as she fell
to the floor, and suddenly sailed out
into the night through the window by
which it had entered. The reading was
not resumed, and the Palm Beach folks
were talking about the thing in whis-
pers for days afterward, and making
all sorts of dire predictions as to the
probable fate awaiting the young wom-
an upon whose head the bat alighted."

wHIP AGAINST SWORD.
How a Plucky Woman Prevented Her
Husbands Assassination.

How a Plucky Woman Prevented Her
Husbands Assassination.
The Civil and Military Gazette, pub
lished at Allahabad, contains an ex-
citing account of the manner in which
a plucky saved herself and her
husband against the attack of a Ghazi.
AS Capt. and Mrs. Spence were out
driving slowly they saw a Brahui
mounted on a Baluch racing mare COM
ing toward them at a walk. AS the
man approached he drew his sword
and made a vigorous cut at Capt.
Spence who, on seeing the naked
sword, instantly stood up and dashed at
the Ghazi with the driving whip, caus-
ing the ma to swerve and the sword
to pass harmlessly by, but uncomfort-
ably close to Capt. Spence's head. At
this instant Capt. Spence lost his bal
ance and fell under the wheels of the
trap, where he lay pinned down for
some time. Seeing her husband in
the act of falling Mrs. Spence seized
the whip from his hand and jumped to
the. ground. By this time the Ghazi
had wheeled on the road and was max
ing another rush. Mrs. Spence instant
ly stood between her husband and the
man, and there received the Ghazi's at
tack, whip in hand, cutting at him and
his mare and calling out for help. By
making vigorous use of her whip she
kept the Ghazi off and drove him away.
A second charge the Ghazi made was
similarly repulsed, except that on this
occasion the Ghazi's cuts came more
~perilously near, and Mrs. Spence was
knocked down. By this time Capt.
Spence had extricated himself from
beneath the wheel of the trap, where
he sustained several bruises and a
cracked rib, and came to his wife's
help, and when the Ghazi made his
third rush he was driven off by Capt.
Spence, when he made off at a gallop,
but the pursuit was taken III and he
was ultimately run down and shot.

INAUGURATING A BIRD DAY.
to Make OrnithoIogy Popular
Among Children.

Movement to Make O~rnithoIogy Popular
Among Children.
The Conservative, a Nebraska City
weekly paper, edited by J. Sterling
Morton, contains in a recent issue a
long plea for the addition of Bird day
to the school calendar, says the AL
bany Argus. G. A. Babcock, superin-
tendent of schools of Oil City, Pa, is
credited with being the originator of
the idea of Bird day. He wrote to Mr..
Morton in 1894 urging the establish
ment of such a day on the same gem
eral plan as Arbor day, and his sugges-
ton met with the hearty approval of
the then secretary of agriculture, who
was himself the founder of Arbor day.
May 4 of the same year Oil City graf
flied the wishes of it's school superin-
tendent by giving effect to his idea.
This was the first Bird day, and ac-
cording to the testimony of the Jour
nal of Education it was observed in
the Oil City schools with a degree of
enthusiasm which was good to see.
"The amount of information about
birds that was collected by the chill
dren was simply amazing. Original
compositions were read, informal dis
cussions were held, talks by teachers
were given, and the birds in literature
were not forgotten or overlooked"
Subsequent observances were equally
successful. A similar movement vas
started in Iowa and in other states
there waS an awakening of interest on
the subject. 1t engaged the sympathies
of the crusaders who deplore the sacri-
flee of birds to millinery and of those
who would check the murderous and
predatory instincts of small boys, but
there has as yet been no such general
support of Bird day as has been ac-
corded to Arbor day. Time, however,
might we'll be spared to it, both be-
cause of the instruction and the pleas
ure it would bring. Here we note a
| stimulus that is a real inspiration to
study. Tireless routine makes way for
a series of object lessons, in the prep
aration for which the youthful demon
strators have had their faculties of OBJ
| s~ervation exercised to the utmost. In
larger cities the study of bird life
might be made in the parks and in
those delightful books of which the
publishers are so lavish nowadays,
Never was there a time before when
children could get at so many charm
ing and attractive volumes on any
branch of natural history, eve a time
when so much was done in literature
to correct the ignorance that has at
tackled the feathered allies of men in
field and forest as if they were enemies
1t is a good work that deserves the
general establishment of Bird day to
further it's object.
