Only Double bumped Camels
In America,

The saie Of the Hagenbeck animals
opened at the geological gardens at
Cincinnati, O., the other day and was
largely attended by circus men as
we'll as Representatives OF other
amusement interests. The sale was
directed by Heinrich Hagenbeck. q
son of the famous animal dealer.
The Chicago committee. consisting
OF Messrs. WcRersham, Byron and
Rediess<e, representing the Lincoln
park board Of that city, were the
main bidders and bought in unusually
fine specimens of animals at excep-
tionally low figures. Paul Redieske,
the bidder for the board, made quite
a hit when he boug ht the pair Of
double-humped camels, paying $3.50
for the pair. This is the only pair
ever brought to America and it was
expected that they would bring $500
or more. A female cheetah leopard,

also bid in by the Chicago people for
$255, as we'll as a male and female
llama for $197.50 and one male aoudad

BAR WOMEN FROM WESLEYAN.
Fight on Cosducatton at OOnnsctieu,
College Ends in Victory for
Male Students,

The end of coeducation at Wesleyan
university, Middletown, Conn.,, is near
at hand. The bitter fight waeed
against the ''coeds"-or "quails," to
use the Wesleyan slang-which has
been fought for ten years has result
ed in victory.
The boys started the protest, the
young alumni took up the fight, and
for three years besieged faculty and
trustees to put stop to all coeduca-
ton. At length it was voted to ap-
point joint committee of four trus-
tees, the members of the faculty, and
two alumni to consider the matter
and report to the trustees. and this
week they formulated q report which
was presented to the trustees
They recommended, in substance,
the organization of a woman's college,
whose administration should be sepa-
rate from that of the main college, 30
far as practicable, and that ultimate-
ly the administration work should
pass into the hands of a dean to be
appointed by the board Of trustees.
A gradual but entire separation is ad-
vocated.
The question Of the location of the
woman's college will be settled in
June, and funds are to be supplied by
the twentieth century thanksgiving
movement.

NEW STAMPING MACHINE.
Chicago Postal Authorities Are Test
Ing New Cancellation
Plant,

Anew stamp-canceling machine is be-
ing tried at the Chicago post Office pre-
vious to its adoption or rejection by the
United States postal department. Its
inventor claims that it is capable of
canceling $4,000 letters every hour.
The machines which are now used in
the office have capacity of from AZ, 900
to $4,000 letters an hour. They all
work on the principle of either a rub
Der orSleather band. with pin points TO
draw the letters under the cancelinq
die
This new machine uses the principle
OF suction to feed in the letters. A
large wheel at regular intervals per-
forated with holes, under each one of
which there is an air pump, revoIves
rapidly. A bundle of letters is laid on
this wheel, and each hole as it comes
around sucks letter tight to the
wheel, where it is carried under the
stamper. About 500, 900 letters are can
celed in the Chicago post Office daily,
and if this machine is success it will
be able to take the place of large num-
Der of the present machines. :~#"

Running Over

When George Hamlin, letter car
rier of Brooklyn, knew that he was to
be proud father his agitation was
somewhat increased by great desire
that the newcomer should be a bow.
While he was hanging anxiously around
home the doctor came from upstairs
and held out his hand.
"Congratulate you," he said. Its a

his patient.
Hamlin, left alone, promptly began
to map out the future career of his

His education should leave nothing to
be desired, and when he had graduated
with more honors than were ever cap
tured by any other student he was to

another boy!" declared the medico.
Hamlin's jaw dropped a trihe. The
news was something in the nature of
an embarrassment of riches.
Again the doctor left him to medi-
tate over his suddenly increased family,
but before the father could collect his
thoughts the physician was with him
once more.
There's another, Hamlin!" he de-
clared.

The London Daily Nails st. Peters
burg correspondent has secured a
hitherto unpublished account Of the
discoveries made by Prof. Amalizki, Of
the University of Warsaw, on the
banks of the Dwina river in northern
Russia last year. The car gives
10000 rubles every year to these ex-

which had well preserved set Of
teeth. The backs of the plesiosauri
were covered partly with plates of
horn, partly with horny excrescences.
Judging from the teeth of these am

? Prof. Amalizki had many strange
experiences while exploring. The
peasants at first took him for gold
digger, because he had Cossacks sta

living anti-Christ, and refused to
supply him or his men with food and
shelter. A Russian priest convinced
them of the folly of this idea
Not long afterward the peasants
insisted that Prof. Amalizki was the
cause of an outbreak of the rinder-
pest in surrounding villages and were
bent on stoning him to death. Only
the presence of mind of the Cossack
guards saved him from a terrible
death.

TURNED HIS HAIR WITH.


Councilman Hiram w. Kistler, for
merly mayor of Stroudsburg, Pa, had
thrilling experience the other after
noon. He does not see why he was not
killed or at least terribly injured nn-
less IL was because he had Just taken
out an accident insurance policy for
$4,000. AS it was, however, he came
out of the accident without scratch,
but part of his hair was turned
white as a result Of few minutes
Of terrible peril.
Mr.. Kistler had driven out to his
farm, about 20 miles &om Strouds-
burg, and on his return, coming down
Hipsie's gap, a dangerously steep
mountain cut, his horse stumbled,
lost his balance, and horse, buggy and
5 driver were dashed down the gap, the
bottom of which is 200 feet from the
road. .-" - s.35 2
Halfway down is clump of trees.
The horse passed through two of
these, but the carriage was too wide
and was scaught. No damage was done
to the wagon, Mr.. Kistler said: '' n
THE sensation of going down Hip
sizes gap is something like shooting
the chutes without the same feeling
of security as to how you will round
up. 1t happened at point where the
the road is very narrow. My horse
Numbered and was instantly over the
bank. Had he not struck the tree he
would have landed at the foot of the
ravine and been mangled beyond rec
ignition.
Assistance came at just the time
when my strength was about exhaust
ed or would never have recovered
my horse or wagon. By using rope,
the lines, halters and parts of the har-
ness we made long hitch to the
carriage and the united strength of
six men lifted it up on the bank Per-
haps my lucky escape is due to the
fact that I had just taken out SIS 1000
