Record. have any idea of the immense
amount of labor involved in the intricate
system Of managing a travelling aggrega-
tion ike Buffalo Bits Wild West Show
The problem of feeding the army of show
men and employees is a huge one of ITSELF
and is an example in point From Buffalo
Bill down TO the lowest mental, every at
tache of the show dimes in the common
mess tent, and all partake of the same
quality of food When new temporary
camp is established, the first thing un>
loaded from the special train which car
ries the snow paraphernala is a range
wagon, an immense vehicle in which are
eight or ten ranges or cook stoves. With
in forty minutes after the unloading Of
the wagon fires are built in the stoves, the
big mess tent is erected tables are spread,
and meas for 600 attendants are served.
This is an everyday record for speedy
cooking that would be hard to equal"
1T would seem as though the true
source of the Nile had been at last dis
covered by a German traveller A letter
was received on May p at Berlin from
DR.. r. Kandt, the Central Africa ex
plorer, in which he gives an account of
his journey to the source of the Nile.
Having asceriained, at the confluence OF
the Ruvurn and Kagera rivers that the
latter has a greater flow of water DR..
Kandt followed it upward as far as the
point where il is formed by the Nyav-
arongo and Akanyaro. By the same meth
cd of measurement he succeeded in find
ing that the former was the main stream.
Marching, therefore, along the Nyayar-
ongo he reached the point where it formed
by the Rukavara, which flows from the
west, and the Mhogo, flowing from the
east, the former containing the largest
volume of water. He then followed the
RukaVara I'D stream to the mountains.
on Aug. 10, $685. after a three days march
Dr. Kandt reached a low cave on the slope
of Mount Tschuho, whence he found the
true source of the Nile issuing drop by
drop from its walls
"A Washing ton dispatch says: Ii is the
purpose of the government TO make the
residence of the naval officers now on their
way to Guam to administer the affairs of
the new colony as pleasant as practicable,
and 10 allow every reasonable demand
that the Governor and his staff may make.
Service at Guam is not desirable and as
the officers sent there are expected TO re-
main the fun three years. ID is with some
alarm that officers watch the Naval Ca
ze,te, fearing they may find themselves I'M
der orders 10 proceed to the islands. The
general cargo for establishing the colony,
including everything needed from furn-
ture for residences to windmills and farm
ing implements 1t is not the intention Of
the authorities to make the colony sX-
clusively one of men, as has been suppos-
ed. 1t is not believed the men would be con-
tent in so Lonely a place without the COM
partnership of women, and while it is con-
trary to the regulations for the govern
1s4sl i
ton for moving the wives and families of
naval officers about the world, 1t is thought
that as Guam presents so unusual case
the regulat tons may be disregarded. The
SolaCe viii be fitted out at San Francisco
with accommodations for a limited number
of ladies and on its next trip to Guam,
early in July, will carry the families of
several officers who are now bound there
on the Yosemite. The hberality of the ma
val authorities in allowing women to pro-
coed to Guam viii be cordially appreciated
by the navy.
The New York correspondence
of the Philadence Ledger says.
A remarkable incident of Columbia's COM
mencement to-day was the conferrins
of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy on
Miss Elsie w. Clews, the daughter Of the
widely known Wall street banker and
broker, Henry Clews Miss Clews, who Is
about "a years Old is one of the most ac-
complished women of her age in this
country. The fact that her father is a
man of large wealth and her mother one
of the leaders of New York's fashionable
set has not prevented Miss Clews from
pursuing studies which few men even en-
ter upon. She is a learned young woman,
without being a blue stocking While
studying the ancient and modern lan>
guages, the sciences and philosophy she
has not neglected her social duties. She
is seen at the principle dances of the sea-
son, and regularly graces her fathers box
at the opera. But now that she has ac-
CURED this degree of Doctor Of Philosophy
what can she do with it? If she was poor
she would undoubtedly enter upon the
profession of teaching and acquire q high
place in 1t. But her wealth and social
position seem to prevent her from maxi
ing the best use of her talents Miss
Crews mas, however, partially solved the
problem for herself by publishing a.
treatise on colonial governments, and
Detler still, by carrying her learning into
the tenement house districts and teaching
the poor in the mission and university
settlement schools. If Mayor Van DvcI,
would break down his prejudice against
women on the Board of Education Misc
Clews would be apt 10 make an admirable
school commissioner.
