CAST AWAY ON A LONELY ISLE
British Sailors Subsist for l64 Days
en Birda' EgGs After .
shipwfeck.

Capt. r. r. Shaw and the crew OF ten
OF the British bark Glenhauntley, long
given up for lost, are alive and well and
on their way to Liverpool. They aban-
doned the Glenhuntley in fierce gale
on June 4. 1898. For 154 days the II
sailormen lived on Tristan d'Acunha
isle, more than 1,500 miles south by
west Of the Cape of Good Hope.
They subsdsted on penguin eggs and
the flesh Of sea eaglets. and shared with
the 72 white Inhabitants the scanty
stock Of provisions that the captain Of
a passing vessel could spare. After al
most four months Of such existence the
British warship Thrush, making an an
nual voyage Of inspection through the
South Atlantic, rescued the castaways,
and late in November last landed them
at Simon's bay, South Africa.
A letter has been received in New
York city from Capt. Shaw, by way of
Cape Town. which tells his mishaps and
adventures. The Glenhuatley, with a
general cargo, sailed from New York
for Freemantle, Australia, on March 81
last. The voyage was uneventful until
the early days OF June. when the bark
ran into frightful storm. which so
buffeted' her that Capt. Shaw and his
crew had to abandon her and take to
their boats. For several days they
rowed and then landed on Tristan
d'Acunha.

whose nose and chin are meeting; to

HARD FIGHT WITH A BIG EAGLE
New jersey Sportsman Has q Hard
Tassle in Dispatching
the Bird.

What is believed to be the largest
eagle ever killed within the borders of
New Jersey was shot after hard fight
few days ago in a swamp near Green
Creek, in Cape May county. w. S. Ed
ridge. of that village, is the proud pos
SCISSOR of the honor.
Eldridge, who was out in search of
rabbits, came upon the big bird in .
dense lot of underground, where it was
feasting on a, rabbit which 1t had
caught. Ravenous with hunger, the
bird paid little attention to the hunter,
plainly showing by its attitude that it
meant fight. Raising his gun, Eldridge
fred two loads of No. shot into the
body Of the eagle, which only had the
effect of angering it.
Before the hunter could reload his
gun the bird few at him and sunk its
talons into his clothing. Eldridge man
aged to beat the bird of. but not before
1t had done considerable damage. The
badly frightened gunner quickly threw
several shells into his gun and again
blazed away at the eagle at close range.
Many OF the shot passed through the
birds head. killing it. When he reached
home Eldridge measured the bird and
found that it was feet II inches from
tip to tip Of its wings.

THEY KILLA FINE DOG
Thread Worms Found in the Heart
Of q St Bernard.
TAesry That Mosquitoes Had Injected
Into the Dog's Bleed the Eggs
"A Most Remarkable
Case.

A case which is unusual and Of great
interest to medical science has devel.
oped out Of the death Of valuable St.
Bernard dog owned by Robert Cum
mings. Of 36s Mount Prospect avenue,
Newark. n. j. According to veterinari.
ans who performed an autopsy the dog
was killed by mosquitoes. In his heart
was a nest Of threadworms, which
caused death by clogging one of the
valves. These worms, the doctors say,
came from mosquito eggs, which were
either injected into the blood by the in
sect itself or taken into the system
when the dog was tapping stagnant wa
ter from some stagnant pool.
Mr.. Cummings had the autopsy per-
formed because he thought the dog had
been poisoned. No trace Of poison was
found. and the veterinarians were puz.
xled until DR.. Glennon opened the heart.
How the worms made their way there
he does not know, but he is inclined to
the belief that they travelled around the
system in the blood. finally lodging
in the heart. Carefully removing each
worm separately, the doctor found that
there were 27 Of them. One wac 22
inches long. while its width wac no
greater than that Of thread. In none
Of the works of veterinary writer's, DR..
Glennon says, is there mentioned q
greater length than Is inches. and these
works cover all the known cases of
threadworms in America and Europe.
So rare, in fact, 10 the threadworm that
its presence in the system Il mentioned
only in the fastest works.
According to Prot. Manson" says
DR.. Glennon. mosquitoes inject the EN-.
bryo of the threadworm along with
the human blood. From the mosquitoes
stomach the worm penetrates into the
chest cavity, where its migration ceases,
and It goes through six stages Of de-
velopment. The female mosquito lays
3ts eggs and goes to die in the water.
Then the worms travel through the teg-
meptary skeleton and swim freely in
the water. Man or animal may thus
become infected in two ways-through
the sting of the mosquito containing
the worms. or through the infection Of
water holding the embryo Of the para
sites in suspension"

MORE cOFFEE AND LESS TEA.
American People Fast Leaving the
Latter for the Former
Sewerage.

More coffee and less tea, or substi-
tuition of coffee for tea, seems to be the
rule with the American people Just
now. The coffee importat ton of the last
year has been the heaviest in the his
tory of the country and the tea impor-
tatiop the lightest in many years. The
importation of coffee in the calendar
year 1897 was over OOoOO, 900 pounds,
and in 1898 the figures will be about the
same as those of 1897. In no earlier
year were the importations ever as
much as 7O0,00O,0O0 pounds. This is u
larger amount of coffee for each individ-
ual than ever before consumed in the
country. the per capita consumption be-
ing about II pounds annually, while
no earlier year showed as much as ten
pounds.
Reduced to tons, the total for the
year 1898 would be 4O0,0 900 tons, requir-
ing for its transportation $4,000 ears,
which, II grouped in single train.
would nearly reach from New York to
Baltimore. The United States is by far
the largest coffee consuming country in
the world. its own consumption being
nearly double that Of all Europe, and
practically half of the coffee produced
in the world. In only two countries
Holland and Denmark-is the per capita
consumption larger than that of the
United States, that of Holland being %
pounds per capita and Of Denmark IS
pounds, against II pounds per capita
in the United states, 53A pounds in Ger
many. 3H in France and less than one
pound per capita in Great Britain.
Tea importations. as already indi.
Gated, will be unusually light during
tn year just ended. and the withdrawal
of tea from warehouse for actual con-
sumption will be much less than the
actual importations. The total impor-
tations of tea for the calendar year will
be about 6s,o0o.0Oo pounds, while in
past years they have ranged upwards
Of 0.000, 900, those Of the fiscal year 1897
being 10000. 900 pounds.

BABOON ON A SPREE.
Makes Things Lively in an Omaha
Theater for a Time.
seixes Liquor In a saloon which He
Drinks and Then Proceeds to
s Clean out the Dressing
Rooms Of Theatef.

People in the Creighton theater.
Omaha, were treated to the spectacle
of big baboon in q drunken frenzy
the other day. He was ~ liberty for
20 minutes, and during that time
caused more damage about the arcades
Of the building and on the stage of the
theater than three men could have
done. Three long mirrors in - many
dressing-rooms were broken by the
beast. These mirrors were the object
of his special fury, probably from the
fact that he saw his own reflection in
them, and thought It another OF his
kind.
The baboon belongs TO Prof. Macart's
performing troupe Of dogs and mon
keys. He Is usually chained in q dress
ing-room by himself. The other morn
ing when the stage hands, headed by
Stage Manager Stewart, entered the
stage they were confronted BY the AMI
NAL, who sprang at them. Not being
able to bite, having heavy muzzle On
him, the beast twined his arms about
Stewards legs and threw him down.
and then jumped for the next man.
Stage Carpenter Landon, but he fed
through the door, with the baboou in
hot pursuit. Landon lodged him and
the baboon entered the Lewis saloon
through an arcade door. A. he
jumped on the bar the bartender hed.
The baboon grasped . bottle Of
whisky and two bottles Of beer on the
bar and fed into his dresaing-room.
On the way he met Manager Rosenthal,
who had come out Of his Office to see
what the trouble was. A bottle Of beer
SHE'D at Rosenthal's head caused him
to run for safety.
Instead Of getting into his own dress-
ing-room the baboon got into Miss
Maud Prices room, where he drank
portion Of the whisky and threw the
bottle through the mirror. Mr.. and
Mrs. Edwin Milton Royle's room and
that Of La Belle Wilmas was next Wis
tied, and both the mirrors were broken
and general havoc wrought with cloth
ing and grease paints. The animal had
his own way until Prof. Macart. who
had been sent for, arrived. The drunk
ard then had chance to sleep of his
frolic with . towel about his head.

The beautiful ball last nighlt in honor of

~THE PLAYN

One of the most important and interest
doubtless what will prove to be one of the
most brilliant, will be the engagement of
Louis James, Kathryn Kiddsr and Charles
b. Hanford combination at OBrien's opera
mouse next Monday in a mammoth scenic
revival of "A Winters Tale" This aggre-
cation of stars must appeal with unusual
force to play-goers, and especially to those
who prefer dramatic entertainment of
standard character.
But nowadays the public looks to the
first-class managers to furnish not only in
teresting stars and adequate settings, but a
whole organization of such strength and
distinction as to make harmonious whole.
1t is difficult to conceive a greater COM
bination of intellectual and histrionic abili-
ty than is embodied in the splendid organi-
cation that Wagenhals & Kemper have
brought together. The flower and genius of
dramatic art in the legitimate field of
drama is represented IN the admirable
company, which, aside from the command
ing distinction of the three principals, en-
lists the following familiar names: Harry
Langdon, John A. Ellsler, Barry tombstone,
Thomas Coffin Cooke, Norman Hackett,
Collin Kemper, w. A. Lincoln, Harvey
Cassidy, George McCulla, ]. L. McVicker,
Miss Helen Singer, Miss Aphie James, Miss

TWO OLD NEGROES
Held Up and Brutally Beaten By High
waymen.

Monroe Pearson and an old negro named
Thornton were held up and brutally beaten
by three highwaymen at Salter station near
Elyton at 80 o'clock last night. After
knocking the old men down, the robbers
searched their clothing, but could find no
valuables Pearson fought the men, and
finally managed to escape and board a
passing car. Upon reaching the city he
was covered with blood, and on his scalp
were several wounds. He could tell nothing
to the fate of his comrade with whom
he had started home.
Mounted Officers Hamilton and Brown
rode to the place, but after making a dill
gent search, could find no trace of Thorn
ton or the robbers. Pearson said that he
had been seen with money during the day,
and he supposed this was what the men
were after. He stated that they had no
weapons but knives.
The two old negroes had started home.
and when a dark place was reached they
were pounced upon by the three robbers.

STATE FAIR WAS
A GREAT SUCCESS
Brought to a Brilliant Close
Last Night.
WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY
Attracted Another Large Crowd-Ex-
ercises at the Grounds Mrs. Hard
man Carried Off the Vic
etoria and Horses.

The Alabama State Fair was brought to
with beautiful pyrotechnieal display by
the Due Fireworks company. The air was
filled with flying balls of fire and the
great battle of Manila was reproduced to
the delight of an immense audience.
Yesterday was grand success for the
fair association and though it was the last
day the grounds were crowded from early
morning until late at night.
1t was Governors Day and TIE chic ex-
ecutive of the state and his entire staff was
present the guests of the fair associa-
ton.
Many prominent Alabamians were in the
city and when Governor Johnston and his
party arrived at the grounds a brilliant
and lively scene was presented.
Shortly after his arrival at the grounds
Governor Johnston was introduced to the
crowd and delivered an address. He said
he thought he came to Birmingham to
make a presentation speech but on his ar
rival found he was just to speak and that
no topic had been assigned him.
He congratulated the managers of the
State Fair their great success and
wished for them many returns of the
same.
TIe referred to the prosperity of the state
in all sections and welcomed strangers to
the fair.
He said he didn't feel called upon to talk
politics, the Nicaragua canal, nor school
. land sales as he would express freely and
plainly from political standpoint at Ath-
today.
He said Alabama comes first in the great
enumeration of states, fourth in the pro-
duction of coal, controls the price of iron
for the whole world, and is unquestionably
first in the production of the most beautiful
women.
He congratulated the state on furnishing
from 1909 the most magnificent soldiers
the world ever saw, with the exception of
the soldiers of her sister states.
Referring to his speech at Athens today,
and particularly to the newspaper reports,
he told Bob Taylor's story of the son who
was being whipped by his father for telling
a lie. After being chastised with the whip
for while he was angrily asked by his
father if he knew what the Bible says of
liar Blubbering with pain and agony the
boy whined, Yes, SIR" "What Is it?"
