ISLANDERS FIGHT FOR A
YOUNG WOMAN.
Fierce and Bloody Battle on the
Maryland Coast.

NANTICoKE, MD, December 7th.-
Another battle was fought between
rival fishermen of Tangier and Tyler
Islands yesterday, in which many
were wounded on both sides. There
is great excitement on both islands
and another fight seems imminent.
Despite the intense hatred which
FOR years has existed between fisher
men of the two islands, Joseph Dra-
per, young man Of Tangier Island,
las secretly visited Miss Carrie Bran
der, fair Tyler Islander. Had Dra-
per been discovered on the island he
would have heen roughly handled, so
bitter is the feud. Consequently,
the couple met in remote places after
nightfall, not even the girls parents
knowing of the meeting.
At a late hour on Monday night
Draper secured boat and rowed over
to the island. His sweetheart was
waiting for him, and they returned
to Tangier Island, where they were
married at an early hour yesterday
morning. Scarcely had the nuptials
been performed when a boat filled
with irate Tyler Islanders was seen
coming swiftly across the sound and
heading for the rival island.
The men were all armed, and led by
the girls father, who had been ap-
prised of his daughters elopement
by note which she left on her table.
As the boat neared the wharf
the fishermen began to fire at
every person in sight, and several
Tangier men were wounded by the
first shots.
Recognizing their assailants as
Tylerites, the Tangierines fled to
cover. and securing shotguns return
ed the fire with telling force. A num-
Der of women joined in the battle.
Again and again the Tylerites at
tempted to land their boat below the
wharf, but such steady fire was di-
rected at them by the Tangierines
from behind oyster houses that they
were forced TO turn about and row
back to Tyler Island.
Many of the Tangierines were
wounded. though none was seriously
hurt. That several of the Tylerites
were wounded is a certainty, asanum-
Der were seen to fall.

Ranch Bigger Than Two States.

There is cattle ranch in Texas
not quite as large as Alsace- Lorraine,
three-fourthsthe size of Wales, much
larger than Porto Rico and almost
as large as Hawaii.
1t could swallow up the States of
Rhode Island and Delaware combined
and would overlap Connecticut by
many thousand acres. Its area is
about 5000 square miles. 1t is dis
tributed over nine counties.
Tucked away in the northwest
corner of the Panhandle it would
not be missed out of Texas, which is
larger than either France or the
German Empire.
Its name is the X ! L ranch. 1t
is owned by Chicago syndicate.
The property is not yet worked to
anything like its full capacity, but il
sustains about 1875, 900 head of cattle
and 1000 horses.
The human population of the
ranch is very scanty. Only 125 men

PRESENTS DURING CHRISTMAS.

If instead of overlooking our own
children with presents on Christmas,
we would give them less and lead
them to share some of the gifts that
would otherwise be for themselves
with some children 10 whom none
would otherwise come, we would
teach very useful and needful les
son to our little ones. Pleasure
which We confine to ourselves simply
makes us selfish and narrow. One
of the last things which Christ DID
on earth was to gather His disciples
around Him aud have them partake
with Him of the bounties of His
table. And in this single act He
taught mankind one Of its greatest
lessons. Our children cannot be
taught too early to let others par
take of their pleasures, especially those
whom circumstances have made less
fortunate in enjoying the pleasures
of the world! In this way we shall
simplify the Christmases of our own
children, which will benefit them,
and at the same time make others
happy-which is, after all, one of the
most beautiful and satisfying pleas
ures in life that we can experience
No other feeling quite reaches it
The happy sparkle in the eye comes
from the hand that is held out tt

average 40 square miles. Their
labors are simrlified by an extensive
system of barbed wire fences.
There are ranch houses, wells.
reservoirs, windmills, dams and all
other accessories needed on such a

About 12 years ago, when Texas
needed a new State Capitol the Leg
islature adopted a novel plan to get
1T. A promise was held forth that
vast tract of land would be given
for building.
Among those tempted by this offer
were ex-senator Charles b. Farwell
and his brother John, who ultimate
ly formed syndicate in Chicago
and took upon themselves the re-
sponsibility of erecting the proposed
capitol.-N. 7. World.

The Climate Of ARIZONA For Dis
eases OF Heart and Lungs.

DR., Craig writes of the climate
of Arizona for various diseases and
sums up his conclusions that it is in
pulmonary diseases that the best
results are obtained. The method
pursued by the more modern sani-
tarium at present, particularly in
Germany and at Dayos, Switzerland,
is to give the tubercular patient as
nearly as possible an absolute out
door existence. There is no place in
America where this end can be at
tained with greater success than in
the Salt River Valley, ARIZONA.
Undoubtedly the best results are
being secured by a tent life on the
desert at the foothills which extend
to within 10 miles of Phoenix. In
deed, many people sleep in the open
air all winter, although it is not SO
common practice as it should be
when carried out under intelligent
directions,
Good horses are numerous and
cheap and there are plenty of
'vaqueros (cowboys-the genuine arti-
cle) to show what horses can be made
to do.
The roads for ID or 90 miles ON
either side of Phoenix are good. The
desert itself is as easy to drive over
as the average Eastern roadway, and
the whole valley is paradise for
bicyclists and horsemen.
While the Salt River Valley is the
climate par excellence for the relief
of pulmonary tuberculosis, there are
many other diseased conditions that
do we'll there. Asthmatic patients
usually receive prompt relief and
are permanently cured. Bronchitis
and laryngitis disappear as if by
magic, the dry, warm air acting as a
most effectual stimulant to the
mucous membrane of the respiratory
tract.
Rheumatic affections are generally
much improved during the winter,
but it is in the summer that the best
results are attained, as the constant
perspiration, maintained for months,
has greater eliminatiye effect than
sojourn at the most famous springs.
The perfect rest and relaxation
that tired nerves experience in this
balmy air act almost as specific for
nervous prostration and insomnia, as
well as affording a new lease of life
to the consumptive.
1t is folly, however, for those just
ready to die to 60 there. 1t is in
the earlier stages that the best re-
suits are secured.-HealM Magazine.

Symposium on Newspaper Troubles.

The Haverhill Gazette agrees with
the Enterprise, that the newspapers
are "worked" too often and too
steadily for free puffs of private
interests.-BrOcktOn Enterprise.
Papers that have space to give
away can afford this, but those whose
space is valuable and limited cannot
be "worked. ."-LoaceU Sun.
Sometimes they can be. They are
supposed to be charitable, without
getting the reward of charity, which
is the commendation of ones friends.
They are supposed to help along
people who never aid the newspapers
or anybody else in return. They are
supposed to say nice things about
every man who presents himself for
an office, NO matter who or what he
may be. As ssoon as he is "mentioned''
for an office, he expects all the re-
wards of virtue, and thinks he ought
to get the enthusiastic support of
the "press," and he seldom stops to
think that there are others who
deserve a little consideration, too.
No use talking, the newspapers have
their troubles, and many of them,
and when they get something out of
life, they come as near to working
for 1t as does any branch of business.
-Brockton Enterprise.
Yes; you can give a man free puffs
for years, and if you then drop 9
word that hurts his feelings, he il
your mortal enemy for life. It's
human nature, We suppose.-Loscel

An Ashanti Crown.

When the British exiled King
Prempeh and took his cowhorn crown
to London they thought they had
fixed things all their own way. They
forgot, however, the ebou potent tate's
golden stool, and now the Ashantis
have risen in revolt around that stool
and penned the British Governor in his
own fort. The crown is an object of
great curiosity in London, and had
been worn by Ashanti Kings for many
generations. With 1T on the barba-
rian kings have watched many bloody
massacres Of their subjects butchered
to give them holiday.

AMERICAN EXPLORES AFRICA.
Adventures More Thrilling Than
Livingst0ne's or Stanley's.

LONDON, Dec. S.-W. Stamps
Cherry, young American explorer,
who left his home in Chicago in June,
1896, has just sailed for New York,
after having experienced, in the heart
OF Africa, adventures more thrilling,
in many respects, than those of
Livingstone or Stanley.
Mr.. Cherry, while traversing over
10000 miles in the French Congo
and Sudan. has accomplished much.
For one year he never saw a white
man, and for over three years not a
white woman. For four years he
slept in his clothes, a revolver aud a
rifle by his side. Over hundred
elephants have fallen to his gun.
FRENCH SHOT CAPTURED WOMEN.
While at Bangui, on the Congo,
a trivial tribal rising was in pro-
gress, and the French had captured
a number of prisoners. OF these
several men and women escaped.
Three of the women and seven of
the men were recaptured, tried by
court martial and condemned to
death. The three women, naked,
blindfolded, were stood up before
handful of Sengalese soldiers. They
knew what was coming, and faced it
with heroism that few men have
shown when confronted by sure
death. They were not Amazons,
merely domesticated wives, who OBJ
tanned food for their husbands and
children and who grew weary of
captivity. The Sengalese fired; the
women fell, riddled with bullets.
FEASTED ON HUMAN BRAINS.
When Mr.. Cherry was in the ter
ritory of Bangasson, the greatest of
the chiefs in the Congo basin, 5000
captured men, women and children
were brought in as the result of a
raid on neighboring tribe.
In addition to these slaves, Ban
gasson's warriors brought back with
them hundreds of human heads,
trophies of their prowess. At night
a great banquet was prepared. The
heads of the slain were boiled and
the brains were eaten. Afterward
the skulls were piled in heaps stuck
on tree branches, end otherwise
where they could be seen and adored,
for, Mr.. Cherry says, no fetish is
more in favor among the natives than
the human skull.
Among these natives cannibalism
is rampant. "After tribal engage
ment," says Mr.. Cherry, ':the cap
tured men, women and children are
cut up as quick as that" swapping
his fingers, sand every bit of them is
eaten. Human flesh, to these people,
is delicacy. They want it, and
when they get the opportunity to get
it they cannot resist.

MORE ABOUT OYSTERS,
Fredericksburg Free LaRce1

1 N@'NNN' s~"oV~fJ IFcc L~UNCC.I
There seems to be certain amount
OF interest aside from an epicurean
one that is taken in the oft quoted,
oftener agitated and oftenest masti-
Gated "succulent bivalye." 1t is in
Tidewater Virginia live topic and
just as live coal as any black dia-
mond theme is among the coal hills
of Pennsylvania, and the subject will
not down-no, not even when the
broad feet of Delegate Pitcher are
planted squarely upon it and he
thinks "I've got 'em now."
The Richmond Necs is Of the opin-
ion that the oyster must surely come
up in the Constitutional Convention,
and there are others of the same
opinion. If it does, Virginia consti-
tuters can adjust their affairs at home
and prepare to camp upon Rich
mond's heights for ninety days, and
maybe some more. State Senator
LeCato thinks the matter will be
easily adjusted. He says: GAS the
Constitution now stands we can only
tax the tonger on his sales, and as
majority of the tongers are negroes
and uneducated at that, it is difficult
to arrive at anything like fair re-
turn to the State. If the new Con-
stitution fixes per capita tax upon
every .tonger / do not believe the
Tidewater people would offer objec-
ton to it."
Possibly so; but it may depend
largely upon the amount that tax is
to be whether there is any kicking
or not. The experience of many of
those well yersed on the subject is,
to an extent, In accord with DR.. Le-
Cato's. The more reputable class of
tongmen would make little objection
to specific tax provided that tax
was not too heavy. Should the Con-
stitutlonal Convention set the rate at
say about 81, or if it thought better,
leave the naming of specific sum
to the State Legislature, stipulating
that it shall at no time exceed So or
So, or some such figure, we are in
clined to the belief that it will meet
with favor in Iidewater. 1t should
certainly be welcomed as solution
of the vexed question.
The point that the Senator makes
in respect to the majority of the
tongsmen being negroes may or may
not be correct. There are thousands
of white tongsmen, and even if there
were not We think that the matter
should be considered aside from all
racial feeling. There is getting to be
too much of that sort of talk in con-
nection with the proposed Conven-
tion. The question will come up on
its merits and we believe it will re-
ceive most careful and dispassionate
consideration. Let us hope that this
item, which is most vital one in the
oyster subject, will be satisfactorily
and permanently disposed of, along
with several other minor features.
