A Danger Signal Out.

A certain youth on the west side,
who was quite devoted not long ago
to young woman of that section of
the city, for some reason relaxed his
attentions. The other day, however,
he met the young women and she
asked him so cordially to call that he
determined to go. SO he sent her a
note stating that if agreeable he would
come up on a certain night. He add
ed that she would, of course, remem-
Der that her mother was not very IA
vorably impressed with him, and if
she objected on the present occasion
to his call he wanted the daughter to
be sure to hang out a green lantern on
the porch. When he saw it he would
make up his mind that a postpone.
ment of his call would be advisable.
The letter was written in half jok-
ing way and it amused the young
woman greatly. She showed it to her
mother, to that lady's keen delight,
for, as it appeared, the mother was
no so unfavorably impressed as the
young man imagined.
Unfortunately the girls brother hap
pened to overhear the contents of the
note, and he formed wicked plan
On the eventful evening when the
ardent youth came swinging up the
street he suddenly stopped, Mortified.
There, on the porch rail, was bright
green lantern shining forth balefully.
The young man walked by. Then he
turned and walked back again. The
light was still there. He passed and
repassed half dozen times, and then
went home.
And all this time the young woman
was sitting in the parlor in her best
finery, waiting for the youth to come.
She treated him coldly when next
they met, but he set matters right
when he told her about the green Ian.

Indian Native Cavalry.

When man wishes to enlist in q
silladar cavalry regiment he must pro-
vide himself, says writer in Cham
bers's Journal, with horse, saddlery,
a lance, (if his regiment are lancers. J
a sword, his uniform, and his trans
port; or else he must be employed as
a rider by some other person who is
the happy possessor of all these neces
saries. In the former case he is called
a silladar, or the owner of an assami; !;
and in the latter case bargir, and his
employer his silladar.
A silladar draws pay for his assami
and also for his own services. Thus.
if man owns two assamis, he draws
two lots of horse pay and one lot of
pay for himself, a corresponding
amount to this last being paid to the
man who rides his second horse-that
is to say, to his bargir.
In some regiments, until compara-
lively recently, it was quite usual for
one man to own ten or twelve assamis,
or even an entire troop. More than
this, it was not unusual for an assam
to be left by will to mans wife or in
fant child, in which case the executors
employed substitute (awas kidmat)
to ride for the woman or child, thus
enabling the owner to draw horse pay.
This practice is still common in some
native Eindustan States.

Strange Funeral Customs.

In an interesting history of his
parish, the Rev. James Murray, of
Kilmalcolm, Renfrewshire, mentions
that "amid the enjoyments of the
people we must not fail to notice
funerals;" and he calls attention to
a curious custom which was prev
alent in connection with them. 1t
appears a sieve containing clay pipes
filled with tobacco was handed round
just before the cortege started. Then
the mourners smoked, and when the
kirkyard was reached, as the grave
was being filed, each stepped solemnly
forward and cast his pipe "among the
moods. Notes and Queries.

Killed by Too Much Pleasure.

Andrew, the five-year-old son of
Joseph Vidosh, of Pottsville, Penn,
died very suddenly of excitement
created by overjoy. His mother al
lowed him to spend an hour or so
sleigh riding. He came home in ex-
huberent spirits, and when his mother
put him to bed he asked her to wake
him up when his papa came home, as
he had something to surprise him.
When the father came home he and
his wife tried to awaken their little
boy, but their efforts were useless.
Little Andrew was dead. The physi-
clan called in attendance ascribed his
death to cerebral hemorrhage due to
oveT;oy. The little fellows constitu-
tion was too weak to withstand the
strain of excitement under which he
had abored.-Philadelphia Press.

General Wheaton followed them up

the attack by the Fourth Cavalry,
which fianked the enemy in their

The ground between the Pasig River

them. They captured fifty canoes

NO HOPE FOR MRS. PLACE.

Governor Roosevelt Declines to Intsrfere
in Her Behalf.
Albany, March 17.-Mrs. Martha Nj
Place, of Brooklyn, who murdered hei
stepdaughter, and attempted to kill
her husband, and who was convicted
of murder in the first degree, which
conviction was confirmed by the
Court of Appeals, is to die in the cleo.
trio chair. Application had been made
to Governor Roosevelt for a pardon
for her, or, at least, a communication OF
her sentence to imprisonment for life.
The only question to be determined by
Governor Roosevelt, in passing upon
the appeal for clemency, was whether
Mrs. Place was sane when she com.
mitted the crime. The Governor ap.
pointed two eminent physicians Of
New York City to examine the con.
demned woman, and they are satisfied
that she was sane when she murdered
her stepdaughter. Governor Roosevelt
has announced that he could not inter
fere with the sentence of the lower
court, as affirmed by the Court of Ap-
peals. This decision was reached af-
ter the Governor had carefully consid.
cred the ease with Chief Justice Park
er and Judge Martin, of the Court OF
Appeals.
