for time, and by moral suasion he
brought them through many a hair
breadth escape himself to camp
around his home in Hobart. Their
counsellor and protector, his ascen-
dency became complete. Truganini,
native woman, was companion to Rob-
inson in his journeys among the
blacks. She had lived long enough
at peace with white people to respect
their purposes. Mr.. Bonwick writes of
her: "Her mind was of no ordinary
kind. Fertile in expedient, sagacious
in council, courageous in difficulty,
she had the wisdom and destinations
of the serpent, the intrepidity and no
bility of the royal ruler of the desert.
When collected, they were fed,
clothed and protected in native quar-
tiers and medically comforted under
the care of an Imperial Superintend-
emit. The remnant of their number in
1885 was but 203 souls. From a NOR.
tally point such paternal care seems
to have been a failure, as their num-
Der in 1847 was reduced to At. The
last male native, called King Billy, be-
came a whaling hand among sailors,
adopted their vices and succumbed to
excuses in 1869. Truganini or Tru-

THE TASMANIANs.
Futile Efforts by the English to Pre-
vent Their determination.


There was an interesting descrip-
ton of the last days Of the Aborigi-
nal, before he became improved
away" by the English settlers, in a
lecture given by the Agent-General
for Tasmania (Sir Philip Fysh) at the
Whitehall Rooms last night. For the
South Sea Islanders, he said, nature
has provided, planting, cultivating,
and ripening their food so that they
toll not, neither do they spin nor
gather into barns" How different 1t
was in Tasmania 1t could not in its
primitive state support large popu-
lation. A fungus known as the bread
fruit of the natives, and the kan
CARGO, wallaby, and wombat were
there, and fish, all to be had by the
spear trap and the practice of amphib-
ious habits; but the race was poor
in physique, neglectful and remorse-
less of infant female life. Each tribe
was in perpetual war with the next,
between whom a river or a mountain
was the only line of demarcation.
They were exposed to the inclemency

tality must have been abnormally
high, and judging by the paucity Of
numbers found by us there, they were
a doomed race.
Great efforts for their protection
were put forth. Proclamations of his
Majesty were made by rudely-painted
pictures fastened upon trees intended
to explain that if white shot black
the former would be hanged, and II
black speared white the black would
be hanged. Many were docile, but the
villainies of bushrangers drew upon
the settlers a vengeance without dis
elimination, causing an effort so early
as 1880 to collect all the tribes. Gov

5000 persons in a Gordon stretched
across the island, called the black line

failure, one man and one boy being
the only captives, and they by acct

Among very many settlers who
were true friends of the black, one
man stands out with history which

True Gratitude.

Soon after the first distribution Of
committees in the house of represen-
tatives Representative Foster Of
Chicago was introduced to Speaker
Henderson. He had received but one
committee appointment and that an
obscure one. He remarked: II am on
a fine committee, Mr.. Speaker" Mr..
Henderson beamed. Il am very glad,
Mr.. Foster, you like your appoint
ment," he said. Il always like to
please the gentlemen of the house."
"Oh," said Mr.. Foster, solemnly, Il
refer to the committee of the whole.
You know l am a member of that"
While the speaker was gasping for
breath the new member from Chicago
added: "At the same time, if you are
very anxious to please, l would not
object to being in your debt for some
other good committee" And the
speaker passed his box Of Philippine

and chatted with him moment. He
was in excellent spirits and anticipa-
ted an easy victory. My pony was
played out and utterly unable to keep
up with the cavalry in the rapid move
ments ahead. l therefore fell in behind
Colonel Sargent, brave and kind oil
ser, and wound down the slippery
trail with the infantry to the valley
below. Two high mounds overlooked
the rice field directly in front of San
Mateo, and a small detachment of in
fantry was placed on each to give
cross fire on the trenches over the
river and cover the crossing of our
troops. 1t turned out afterward that
the river was too deep to ford at this
point, and these troops were then
brought up to the firing line in front,
which skirted the river edge.
General Lawton had twice walked
up and down the line, every inch of
his six feet four in that fatal yellow
coat exposed to the enemy's view, and
one after another his staff had asked
him to find safer place. Just before
starting down the line Lieutenant Col
onel Sargent had asked / m to find
less exposed position, and at last Gen.
eral Lawton said that he would go
back bit in the rice field to a more
sheltered place, but where he could
easily be found by his staff and the
officers commanding. AS the general
started for his point of safety Lieuten-
ant Breckenridge was shot through
the upper part of the right arm and
the back of his shoulder. AS he was
being carried off the field General
Lawton received his fatal wound.
Lieutenant Fuller. who was close by,
saw bullet strike a pool of water,
and remarked to Captain King the pc
culiar angle at which the bullet
glanced downward. Then ne heard the
general say, I'm shot through the

sistance. General Lawton stood for a
few moments clenching his fists and
straining to hold himself upright, but
suddenly he lost control and fell over,
supported by Lieutenant Fuller.
DR.. Beasley. who was accompany
ing young Breckenridge off the field,
ran over to the generals aid and saw
at once that the wound was fatal. Cap

David Harum was a good horse
trader, but recent transaction in
horseflesh which was made by we'll
known Memphian shows that there
are others who know how to get the
long end of horse trade. Several
weeks ago this Memphis man saw a
fine buggy horse which he thought
he wanted. He located the owner and
asked the pirce. "One fifty" was the
reply. After looking the animal over
closely and trying her speed he con-
cluded it was a coed trade, and with
out more ado wrots check for the
amount. The next day he found that
the mare was as blind as a bat, but
this did not hinder her speed nor de-
tract from her gen sral appearance.

FOR COAST DEFENSE.
A New Type Of Gun Adopted by the
United States.


United States.
The shipment of eighteen 15-pound
guns to the Sandy Hook proving
grounds from the factories at Derby,
Conn, was begun on January 2. These
guns are destined for a new scheme
of mine, field and harbor defense, and
are an addition to the twenty 6-pound-
ers and two 15-pound coast defense
guns, which, with their ammunition,
ing the past two months.
Each 15-pound gun weighs $3.50
pounds and costs, $4,000. 1t is 13 feet
long, mounted stationary, and has no
carriage. This type of gun has been
officially adopted by the United States
as the standard for coast defense.
According to the new plan of defense,
the smaller guns, 6-pounders, are
mounted near water level, with the
larger guns above them. In this way
torpedo boats sent in time of war into
a harbor to explode defending mines,
could be reached by the smaller guns,
mounted on field carriages, attached
by V-shaped anchor to bolts in the
masonry. When the ships of war fol.
lowed, the big 15-pounders above
would come into action.
If it becomes necessary to concen-
trate the smaller guns upon a given
point, or to remove them to the beach,
their anchorage chains could be slip
ped, making them practically field
pieces, which could be held to any
desired position by spade at the foot

NEW GRIM ES.
Mans LawIess Ingenuity Giving the
Courts Added Trouble.

Under the laws of the land as they
exist at the present the theft of
lamp is a larceny; it may be Roman
lamp or a Greek lamp, an oil lamp or
an electric lamp. Whether it consti-
tutes grand larceny or petit larceny
will in certain states in the Union de-
pend not upon it's age of newness, but
upon it's market value. On the other
hand there is a great number of mod
ern crimes which could not have been
committed in ancient days because
the instruments for their preparation
did not exist. They are the outcome of
modern civilization and they require
new legislation.
The tapping of telegraph wire is
a modern form Of highway robbery.
In the old days the method was to
waylay the courier on his road and to
rob him of his purse or Of his mes
sage. The formula of the modern
highwayman is not STAND and deliv-
err" but simmply Deliver" And he
may get message from the lightning
courier which may be worth more to
him than a we'll filled purse. But there
is nothing to be gained by indiscrimi-
nate tapping. 1t is some special mes
sage or information that the thief is
looking for, possibly for its effect on
the stock market or on other business
ventures, but the use of cipher codes
renders the tapping of telegraph
wires of little avail even in time of
war, unless the code, as well as the
message, has been stolen. For the tap
ping of power or light lines the mod
ern highwayman comes in out of the
rain. He can do his business better
indoors by attacking the electric me-
ter, confusing its calculations and
thus getting more current than he
pays for. Such at least seems to be
the implication of recent statutes

LIVING IN THE STONE ACE.
A New Eskimo Tribe Has
Just Been Found.
ALL DEADTO THE WORLD

They Live Just as They Did When
They Emigrated From, Nobody
Knows Where-They Speak an Un-
known DiaIect-Remarkable People.
On a big island in Hudson's Bay
hitherto unknown tribe of Eskimo has
been found.
Whalers discovered them, and the
authorities at the Museum of Natural
History in New York, hearing the
news, sent Captain G. Cromer to in.
vestigate them.
Until the last few months these peo-
pie had never seen a white man. The
island which they inhabit is called
Southampton Island, and is almost as
large as the State of Maine. 1t is mt
the northwestern end of Hudson's
Bay. For centuries this tribe has not
had the slightest communication with
other Eskimo. When discovered they
were still living in the stone age, and
knew no metals until they were intro.
duced within year by visiting whal-
ers, and to-day they live just as they
did when they first emigrated-from
no one knows where. Their residence
probably antedates the discovery of
America by Columbus.
They speak a dialect different from
that of any other known tribe. Their
huts are built of the skulls and jaws
of whales, covered over with skins of
animals. Snow huts are the fashion
among other Eskimo.
In the middle of their primitive
dwelling stands tile stone lamp rais d
a little from the ground which lights
the home, heats it, cooks the food,
serves for melting snow, drying
clothes and the perfecting of some of
their weapons and implements.
Among the Greenland Eskimo this
lamp is followed out Of soapstone, but
on Southampton Island the lamp is
made of fiat piece of limestone,
around the edge of which narrow
pieces Of limestone are glued. Their
pots are made of the same material,
one slab serving as the bottom and
four others for the ends and sides of
the queerest square pot ever made.
The glue is made of deer's blood,
grease and fish roe. One glance at the
inside of one of these pots lined with
this pitchy mass is enough to take
away a white mans appetite for a
week.
Into the limestone lamp, which is an
oval, foot or so wide and about two
inches deep, is put oil from whale blub-
ber The wick is piece Of moss. The
pot is placed over the lamp on sup
port, on which hangs a piece of blub.
Der which melts from the heat and
feeds the lamp continually.
The dress Of these people also differs

gether by fishing and hunting, the
whale being the chief article of II ct.
The bone harpoons they use are tipped
with Clipped fiints, as well as their
arrows and spears. The ingenuity
with which they utilize the whale
bone is most surprising. Cups and buc.
kets are made of it by bending it
round and sewing on the bottoms.
Whalebone serves them for weapons
and implements of utility. They even
press it into service for making to-
bogganlike sleds Some of their sledg.
es are Of walrus tusks as runners
and with deer's antlers as crosspieces.
On SO large an island as theirs there
is an abundance of game, such as the
