Manila, Jan. l7.-General Wheeler will
return to the United States this week,
making stop at Guam on his way thith-
er. Three additional cases of bubonic
plague have been reported.

chiefly in that its long stem is deco
rated with gold and silver. The pipe
that Bismarck smoked was more than
twice as large as that of the young
kaiser.
The cars pipe is plain briar of
the bull dog kind. Two kinds of to-
bacco are liked equally well by him,
cut plug and the Turkish.
The duke of York smokes the same
kind of pipe and uses bird's-eye, but
his father, the prince of Wales, has
not smoked pipe for ten years.
No one has a handsomer pipe than
the shah of Persia, who, however
tons, does not care for the corncob
that is used in Missouri. The shahs
pipe cost $780, 600 and is we'll decorat-
ed with diamonds, rubies and emer-
aids. The mouthpiece and upper joints
of the stem are of pure gold. The
pipe is a hookah.
Until recently the sultan smoked a
hookah, not as handsome as the
shah's, but it cost several thousand
dollars. During the last few months,
however, he has shown a fondness foJ
cigarettes.
President Loubet of France is the
only chief magistrate that country has
had who has smoked a pipe. Felix
Faure, his predecessor, pulled cigar
cites.
President Kruger usually has a
pipe in his mouth. His favorite one
was of the German kind, with a big
china bowl. 1t was given him about
"a years ago by one of his visitors
The story is told in South Africa that
this pipe has been inseparably con-
nected with his affairs. When the in
dependence of the Transvaal was re-
turned in 1881, the stem broke. Just
before the Jameson raid a bit was
Clipped off the china bowl. When
Edgar was killed, which led to the
recrudescence of the uitlander depre-
dations and eliminated in the present
war, the pipe fell to the ground and
was smashed to fragments. Then
Kruger had pipe sent him from Ber-
lin, like the old one.

~ STOPPING shoulders, sat on the EN-
IRENE right of the improvised theater
and seemed very much affected as the
play progressed. He was swayed by
every shadow of emotion as if he were
seeing real life instead of a very or

group of transformers. Twice he was
seen to grasp his hat convu!sively,
and when the leading man, he of
fierce mustache and commanding
mien, swearing by the everything God
that she, meaning Little Lady"

rushed to seize her in his arms, the

finished speaking when fourscore
weather-beaten tempters of provi-
dence, gamblers of pick and pan, arose
as one man and hurrah'd the senti-
ment to the echo.
Judge Slocum, postmaster, coroner
and magistrate, finally managed to get
order out of chaos, from his vantage
ground ON the top of beer barrel,
vouchsafed few remarks on the oc-
casion.
