Led a Most Ora matte Life.

Benjamin D. Markham, multi-mil-
lionaire and philanthropist, who died
at Vineland, N. j., a few days ago, led
a most dramatic and remarkable life.
He figured prominently in the west
during the exciting times incident to
the gold fever Of the early SOS, and
often he became the possessor Of as
high as $50, 900 in a day, and m
times he as quickly lost it again. At
one time he was the sole creditor and
owner of the entire bonded indebted
ness of the state of Montana. Four
teen years ago his wealth was esti-
mated by himself and bank officials to
be about $4,000, 900. Capitalists be-
lieve that the Markham fortune, which
consists mostly of municipal bonds.
canno be much less than $4,000, 900.

NATION OF KINGS.
The Only People Over Which European
Powers Claim No Sovereignty.

The Only People Over Which European
Powers Claim No Sovereignty.
There now remains only n people
and one little valley south Of the equa-
tor whose sovereignty has not been
claimed by some European power. 1t
is the valley of the Barotse, fifty or
sixty miles wide, north of Lialui, in
South Africa. And the only reason why
the Marotse, who inhabit it, have pre-
served their independence is that Eng
land and Portugal both claim it, II
therefore the work of civilization is
at a standstill. 1t may not be so easy
to conquer the Marotse when the time
comes, for they are a tall, well-set-up
race, very black in skin. In manners
they are very courteous and in bearing
dignified. Every f~ull-blooded Marotse
is by birthright a king, and takes his
place in the aristocracy Of the empire.
In fact, as every one is king, there Is
no head ruler. The bare fact that he
is a Marotse insures the respect of the
subservient tribes, and as he grows to
manhood a sense of superiority usually
implants in the native the dignity Of
self-respect. All labor is done by
slaves who have been captured from
n~eighboring tribes.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

Every woman is a good actress till
she goes Oh the stage.
There Is one thing a woman never
can understand, and that is herself.
When the devil had his choice as to
instruments he first picked jealousy.
If they were named anything else a
woman would have just as queer a look
in her face when she talked about her
legs.
If there weren't any bad men to be
horrible examples, probably there
wouldn't be any good women to be
shining examples.
Every racy story a man hears he
acts like it was old to him and every
woman like it was new to her, and
both are making believe.
When a man can make a woman be-
lieve that he can't help thrilling at her
voice she feels she has to marry him
so that she can turn the current on
whenever she feels like 1t.
The difference between a woman and
a cat is that when you tease the cat
you know she'll scratch you, but when
it's a woman you never know whether
she'll kiss you or tear your eyes out

LONG-DISTANCE I D
M. COTTU COVERS 7s5 MILES
IN TWELVE DAYS.
Horse Spirited at the Finish The Rider
Took the Best of Care of His Animal,
and Never Kept 1t at a Trot More
Than a Mile and a Quarter
(Special Letter.l

A very remarkable feat of horseman-
ship has just been accomplished by a
young Frenchman, NJ. Charlie Cottu.
He rode the whole of the way from
Vienna to Paris, 1855 miles, in IL days
and IA hours, using only n horse,
and, what is still more noteworthy,
brought his mount into Paris in thor
oughly good condition. AS everyone
knows, 62 miles is a good deal more
thar the average horse can be expected
to accomplish in a day, and to keep up
this average for thirteen days at a
stretch, with 1873 pounds weight on the
animals back, implies moi only the
great stamina of the steed, but alto
gether exceptional care and manage
ment on the part of the rider. M.
Cottu began to train his mount-a
half-breed Irish mare, Irish Lass, Z
years old, standing just under fifteen
hands-on Easter Monday, beginning
with a gentle ride of fifteen miles or
so, and gradually increasing the daily
distance up to forty miles. In CONVEX
sation with a Paris correspondent, M.
Cottu explained that the great secret
of success on long-distance rides is to
avoid ov~erheating your mount. II
never" he said, kept Irish Lass at
the trot for more than one and one
quarter miles. I always dismounted

settled. The principal features of the
reception in Washington, as planned
by the citizens, with the cooperation
of the president and cabinet, will be
two in number-the presentation of the
sword voted by congress and a night
parade. A public reception at the
white house will be followed by dinner
to the admiral by President Mckinley.
The sword will be presented by Secre-
tary Long, at the east front of the cap
itol, in the presence of Mr.. Mckinley
and all the members of the cabinet,
late in the afternoon, while the parade,
consisting of organizations of all kinds,
will be accompanied by an illumination
of the city on a scale of beauty never
before witnessed in Washington.
The different features Of the prepara-
tons are in the hands of a central
body of citizens and eleven commit
tees, embracing in all over a thousand
people. Preparations for the celebra-
ton have been in hand for over a
month.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad and
other railroads entering Washington
have agreed upon cheap rates for the
celebration, and the committee expects
that there will be an outpouring of pa
triotic citizens almost equal to the in
auguration of a president.

PROVERBS BY WILLIAM BLAKE

Expect poison from the standing wa
ter.
Without contraries is not progress
sion.
To create a little flower Is the labor
of ages.
What is now proved was once only
imagined.
He who desires but acts not breeds
pestilence.
Listen to the fools r~eproach. 1t is a
kingly title.
If others had not been foolish we
should be so.
Eternity is in love with the produc-
tions of time.
No bird scars too high, if he scars
with his W wings.
If the fool would persist in his folly
he would become wise.
Truth can never be told SO as to be
understood and not be believed.
The roaring of lions, the bowling of
wolves, the raging of the stormy sea,
and the destructive sword are portions
of eternity too great for the eye of
man.

Betrayed by His Parrot.

Victor Chevalier, a clever criminal
in Paris, was run down in a shrewd
way. He was known to be exceedingly
fond of a pet parrot, and the police
were instructed to look for a loqua-
cious bird of this kind. After a weeks
search the laxative parrot was dis
covered in the Montmartre district.
The police kept a close watch on the
house, and in time the criminal APP
peared to have an affectionate chat
with his bird.

further broke all well-established con-
ventionality by insisting that his bride
sit by his side to partake Of the we'd

ally opposite to Tongan religion, for
man and wife never are supposed to
partake of food together, the men OF
the family eating in n part Of the
home and the women in another. But
King George thought otherwise, and

NATIONS GREETING TO DEWEY
Features of the Reception to the Manila
Hero at Washington.

The central idea underlying the
grand welcome to be given Admiral
Dewey in Washington the first week in
October is its national character. His
arrival at the capital will mark his real
Homecoming to the American people,
where the officials of the government
will participate, and the magniacently
jeweled sword voted by congress will
be presented. To that end all the ar
engagements will be of a simple but
most dignifed character. The welcome
to the hero of Manila at the national
capital will probably occur on Monday.
