MARRIED CHIEFS DAUGHTER.
Shipwrecked Sailor Returns and
Tells How He Found IA Bride
on Magascn Island.

a Robinson Crusoe story is told by
a young German sailor, August
Schmager, WHO has just reached San
Francisco on the French bark Anjou.
Schmager is known as the Prince of
Magasca,' as he married the dusky
daughter of a chief who is now prn-
cipal owner of Magasca island in the
Caroline group.
Schmager left San Francisco on n
whaler in 1895. The vessel was
wrecked eff one of the Caroline is
lands, but all hands were saved. and
the captain and his crew went home
in the schooner Ruth. The young
German remained on the island. Soon
afterwards he reached another island
in the group, and was adopted by the
king of the natives. He married n
pretty savage maiden, whose father
was "A chief Life grew monotonous
to Schmager, and the sailors instinct
to roam overcame him. He shipped
for San Francisco on a whaling bark
but was left on the beach at Hako-
| date, and came the rest of the way on
the Anjou after suffering many hard
| ships.

QUEEN ILLS PATRIOTISM.
Remained Standing During Strains
of "Star Spnnsled Banner"
at Honolulu.

The steamer Australia has arrived
at San Francisco, bringing Honolulu
news to September 4. Queen Liliuo-
kalani took occasion on her siXty-sec-
ond birthday, September l, to give the
natives another lesson in American
patriotism. During the celebration
and concert at the queens residence
she arose when The Star Spangled
Banner" was played and kept her
seat during the playing of the Ha-
waiian national anthem. This action
greatly surprised the natives. 1t was
the queens way Of showing that THE
Star Spangled Banner" was the ma
tional anthem in Hawaii, and not the
old Hawaiian hymn. This action may
have a good deal of political effect, as
reply from the queen to those ma
tives who are urging the organiza-
tion of an independent party with the
idea that the restoration of the mon
archy is still a possibility.

DINGHAM'S CURIOUS WILL.
Request to Church In Illinois FOrbids
Music or Festivals in
the EdiGce.

The will of James bingham, who
died recently at his home near Illiop-
oils, in Sangamon county, ILL.,, was
opened the other day and proved to
be a most eccentric document. He
bequeaths to the Christian church of
llliopolis, the land upon which the
Long Branch church, east of Illiopolis,
is erected, but places an exceptional
ly queer proyiso in the document. Ac-
cording to the proviso, the gift is up
on condition that no organ, piano or
musical instrument shall ever be
taken inside the edifice, and that no
church festival or church fair shall
ever be held upon the premises. In
the event that this part of the will
is violated the property reverts to
Dingham's heirs.
II is not known whether the congre-
cation of the church will accept the
gift under the conditions. This pro-
vision of the will has created consd-
cradle gossip among the residents of
the town.

TURNING 10 INDIANS.
Prof. Starr Says Americans Will
Become Aborigines.
Facial Differences Due TO Physical
and Climatic Conditions, and Each
Continent Has Its Distinct-
i've Race of People.

Prof. Frederick Starr, of the de-
partment of anthropology in the Uni
versity of Chicago, believes that the
American people are becoming In
dnns and will eventually revert to
the aboriginal type. His theory is
that racial differences are due to
physical and climatic conditions OF the
different continents. and that the
same conditions which made Indians
of the earliest inhabitants of America
will produce like result among the
present inhabitants.
Prof. Starr bases his theory upon
careful investigation. He has minute
ly examined and measured the fea-
tures of more than 5000 children of
Pennsylvania Dutch parentage and
has found in most cases a lengthen-
irg of the face and broadening of the
cheek bones in accordance with the
Characteristic features of the Indian
races. Recently in his class in eth
rology he pointed out various mem
bers of the class who most strongly
showed the Indian tendency.
"All who come to America" said
Prof. Starr. must converge toward
the Indian type. Some may resist the
influence longer than others, but the
result will be sure to follow in time.
As the features change the tempera-
-lnnt will change also. Mind is corre-
lated with body, and it is to be ex-
rected that those who come here
lrust become as those who came CEN
turies ago had become Indians. The
reople of France recognize the In
dian characteristics in the faces of
Americans who visit Paris. and they
readily distinguish between Ameri-
cans and English.
asia is the continent of the brown
and yellow men. Whatever you pour
into il becomes as the natives who are
there. Africa is the black mans con-
tinent. The white man who goes to
Africa must in time become black,
with the projecting jaw, the coarse
hair and backward heel of the native
African races"
Prof. Starr was asked if the Indian
lied Americans of the future would
live in wigwams. He replied that
when the first white explorers came
to America there were many Indians
living in better houses than Chicago
people live in to-day.

zinc FieId of Arl,nnsas.

Perhaps the most interesting phase
of the rapid evolution of zinc produc-
tion into one of the great industries
of the country is the addition of the
Arkansas district to the southwest
ern field. Five counties of northwest
ern Arkansas are coming rapidly into
prominence Lecause of the zinc de-
posits they contain. The counties are
in the toughest portion of the Ozarks.
Their topography consists of narrow
but exceedingly fertile valleys, lofty
ridges and tortuous water courses,
bounded by canyonlike cliffs, afford
ing the finest scenery to be found be-
tween the Alleghanies and the Rock
les. The broken character of the re-
gion has deferred railroad building.

DEMAND FOR TOMATOES.
Grows Rapidly ana Now the VeEe-
table Is Common Dish of the
English workingmnn.

English statistics show that of late
there has been large and rapio y
growing importation of tomatoes,
writes Consul Hanauer, at Frankfort,
Germany, "the Canary islands furnisA-
ing the supply. which importation
amounted to 16,3s9 tons during the
first half of this year. The wholesale
price of this quantity was about
81. $685. 900.
Tomatoes were but short time ago
an article of luxury in Great Britain
only used for the pampered palates
of the rich; but now they have be-
come a common dish on the table OF
the working classes.
In Germany fresh tomatoes are sold
at six to fourteen cents a pound ac-
cordng to season; they are chiefly
used to flavor meats, not stewed. Only
the best hotels and the wealthy buy
fresh tomatoes, which are supplied
mainly by southern France. Canned
tomato pulp is found at the groceries
of large German cities. offered at
lower price Comparatively than the
fresh fruit.
"Cantaloupes are a great delicacy-
even more so than the pineapple-in
German cities. They sell at so cents
to $1.5O apiece. Some of these are
brought from Spain, Others are raised
in German hothouses. Considering
that tomatoes have been sold as low
a five dollars a ton in Delaware and
New Jersey and that fine cantaloupes
can be bought in Philadelphia at one
to three cents apiece, the question
arises. why don't we export fresh vege-
tables to Europe?
"The growers of our Atlantic states
should form an export association
which-if it will send out men of mer-
camille ability who can speak German
and French-would find the European
continent. as well as England. an eN-
cellent market for their produce. No
country could compete with us in the
export of agricultural and industrial
products We're we to adopt the mercan-
tile methods Of European traders.

CHICKENS HOLD UP A TRAIN.
of Grated Fowls Causes an
Amusing Incident ut
Hinsdale.

An incoming freight train on the
burlington road for Chicago was de-
layed the other day at Hinsdale by a
singular mishap. In some way a
crate containing chickens was broken
and the fowls got away. The train
was stopped while the crew pursued
the feathered fugitives, the chase be-
ing enlivened by music from the Fifty
first Iowa regiment band, which was
in a car attached TO the train.
The tune selected was II Wants
Nah Chicken, Nah Shanghai Chick
en-" but it only tended further to
frighten the cackling birds. The sol
diers then joined in the chase and
soon the fowls were captured. Strange
TO say, there were found seven more
chickens than originally flew the coop
and these the Iowa boys confiscated
as contraband of war.
