GALAPAGOS ISLANDS MATTER.
Nothing Really Known as tn Wheth-
er England In Trying for Them.

ct Gn&huMu - AUX
WASHINGTON. Dec. S.--Ssnator Lodge
called at the state departrsnt.te talk with
Secretary Hay about his Galapagos islands
resolution. As to the basis OF his resolu-
ton of inquiry, he said that all the infor-
nation he had as to the reported attempt
OF the English government to secure the
islands was derived from newspaper
sources. The state department itself had
no direct Information or any recent move-
ment looking TO the acquisition of the is
lands, but win refer the resolution Of In
quiry to United States Minister Sampson,
at Quito, for a response.
1t would not be at all surprising, IL Is
said here, II the ultimate result OF the
broaching Of this subject now were the
acquisition of a coaling station on these is
lands by the United States government.
In fact, the navy department has within
the last year been making quiet inves-
tisation into tho facilities there existing
with that object in view. Commander Tan
ner was dispatched to Galapagos islands
just after the conclusion of the war with
Spain to make a personal examination Of
the conditions existing. ffe found that the
Honduran government had some years ago
abandoned its penal station on Charles is
land. leaving behind a large number of do
nestle animals In a half wild state. and
these nocks had enormously increased.
Only one Of the half-dozen islands was in
habited. namely, Chatham island, and that
island had but one inhabitant, in the per-
son Of a Mr.. Coboss. RE was OF Ecuador
can birth, but was naturaliSed American
citizen.

Il have q customer who thinks he
smokes twenty-five cigars day." said q
New Orleans dealer. :As q matter of
fact he smokes about three-eighths of
that number. The other five-eighths rep
resents what he gives away, lays down
partly consumed and q generous disre-
gard Of butts However, he IL firm in
the conviction that he smokes more ac-
tual tobacco than any other man In New
Orleans and boast on the subject In
my store recently led to curious bet.
He declared, to begin with. that he
could smoke three ordinary cigars In
half an hour. and a bystander remarked
that no man alive could smoke even one
cigar continuously, until 1t was consumed.
without taking IL from his lips. 'Bosh.'
said the twenty -five-a-day gentleman. T
do that right along and think nothing of
IT. III bet you q box of perfectos you
can't do 1t right now,' said the other
man, and in half a minute the wager was
made BY its terms the cigar was to be
consumed in steady. consecutive puts
and not removed from the lips until
burned to a mark. N inches from the tip.
A clear Havana, colorado maduro In col
or. was selected for the test and the
smoker took a seat and began.
''He pulled like an engine for about two
minutes and accumulated something un-
der half an inch of ash, and then he be-
gan to wobble. He shifted the cigar from
side to side. pulled slow and fast, and
seemed to have difficulty In getting his
breath between the draws. At any rate
he kept moving his head to avoid the
smoke and finally got to coughing. I
could see he was in torture. but he stuck
to It until he got within half an inch Of
the mark. Then he jumped up suddenly.
threw the cigar away and walked out Of
the store. 1 para the bet and charged It
to his account. and he told me last night
that the very idea of tobacco made him
sick. II Is not unlikely that the affair
may lose me a good customer.
'T doubt whether It would be possible
for anybody to smoke even a moderately
strong cigar through In the manner
have described."-New Orleans Times

Queer Ending OF . Dispute Over the
Rental OF Donkey's shadow.


Rental Of Donkey'a shadow.
When Struthion, the dentist OF Ahdcra.
had hired donkey 70 take him to the fair
OF Geranta, and he was crossing at mid
day the dreary waste between the two
towns, he found the heat SO oppressive that
he dfsmounted and sat down In the dom
keys shadow.

MED him. What are you doingT'
why a. you see, sitting down in the
donkey's shadow 20 get COOL" r9
But you have hired the donkey only.
and not his shadow; you win have to pay
extra for that" ve
The dentist did not see II, but maintain
ed that hiring the donkey meant hiring
his shadow also. as the shadow was part
OF the donkey. which the driver disputed.
and the result Of the quarrel was that they
returned to Abdcra to submit the question
to the Judges. and the dentist betted that
he would win the case, whilst the driver
betted that the decision would be in his
favor. On the matter coming before the
judges, Abdera at once divided into two
parts, which came to be called, respec-
lively. the Donkeys and the Shadows. the
former maintaining that the donkey could
not be expected to give his shadow for
nothing. whilst the latter argued that the
shadow was part Of the donkey, and that
therefore he who hired the donkey was
entitled to his shadow also. As the case
was one for which no precedent could be
found In the archives OF the court Of Alb
dera. betting ran high a. to the hnal issue
of the trial. The Judges were terribly pug
sled and at their wits end how to decide
the question, their brains being moreover
muddled with the speeches Of counsel:
what their verdict would be became daily
more a subject for betting, in which all
the Inhabitants were involved. and what
ever the decision might have been one-half
Of the population would Inevitably he ruin

the Judges to declare the suit at an end

Fourteen Louisville Players soId 70
Pittsburg Club.
PITTSBURG, Dec. S-ILe biggest base
hall deal made In this city since 1885. when
pittsburg purchased the entire Columbus
club, was consummated today. and many
rumors concerning the Pittsburg clubs
future are set at rest. Briefly told. the
story Is as follows;
On October 30 Barney Dreyfpss resign
cd as president OF the Louisville club
and disposed Of his holdings entirely.
Mr. Dreyfuss then closed a deal with the
Pittsburg management, whereby he be-
came possessor Of a block Of stock, with
the assurance of his election as presi-
dent at the club meeting next week. To-
day Harry Pulliam, who succeeded Mr.
Dreyfuss as president Of the Louisville
club. came TO the city, and after IA con-
ference with Messrs. Kerry. Auten and
Dreyfuss announced that he had sold to
Pittsburg fourteen Louisville players. the
consideration being $4,000 In cash and
four members of the local club. They
are Chesbro. O'Brien, Fox and Madison.
The fourteen players bought from Louis
VILE are: Clark. who will be manager
and captain of the new Pittsburg club;
Wagner, Ritchey Leach. Kelly. thinner.
I.attimer, Tom Merritt. waddell. Cum
ningham. Phillippi. Flaherty, Charles
Doyle and Woods. All interested In the
deal assert that there is nothing akin
to syndicate ball in the movement. but
solely an endeavor to put a pennant-win-
ming team In this city, which Is looked
upon as one OF the best ball towns In
the country.
The new acquisitions give Pittsburg
