among them an inspectorehip of mines,
which meant the, drawing from time to

to send him at the Government expense,
as a special courier with secret des-
patches. Vivier was self made man.

vIvIER, THE HORN PLAYER.

/
Practical Joking Under Napoleon III.
The death, announced from Nice, at
the age of 70, of the famous horn-play-
ed and practical joker, Eugene Leon
Vivier, will recall stories of a man who
figured largely in London and Partisan
society In the early days Of the Third
Empire. Vivier was a magnificent solo
horn player. but he was even more re-.
markable as a humorist His practical
jokes may seem rather stupid now, but
in their day they were the talk Of Eu-
rope. One of them was to tie a young
calf on the second floor balcony of his
house, so that crowd assembled and
blocked up the street. Vivier's excuse
was that he hated to see boys hurrying
on their errands, and adopted this plan
to tempt them to loiter. Then he kept
the calf in his rooms 50 long that it
grew into a bullock, and when the police
interfered, they found 1t impossible to
get the animal downstairs.
Viver invented a plan for mixing gum
with soap, for the manufacture of eoap
bubbles, of a particularly large and
tough description, which he set flying
over ST. Petersburg, to the alarm of the
Emperor Nichoas( who imagined it to
portend some new Instruction. In Lon
don he had a fancy for keeping in his
rooms off Regent street a cock, for the
board Of which he insisted on paying
eighteen pence week, and which he
pretended to treat as a familiar spirit,
jabbering to it for some minutes and
then rushing frantically out of the house

"A Hartford SergeantS Experiences II
That Engagement.
M. F, Gagan, formerly of No l:
Lawrence, street, Hartford, writes from
Doesimus, Luzon, few lines in regard
to the war with Aguinaldo and the part
which his regiment, the Twenty-eight, is
taking in the conflict. His letter was
written January 10, is poetmarked mil.
Sta No. /. Manila, Jan. 22," and was
received Monday, March 10, having con-
sumed forty-nine days in it's travels.
Gagan is now sergeant. He writes:
II enlisted in the Twenty eighth In
fantry, which is now doing good work
here i enlisted as private and worked
myself up to sergeant. The boys of the
First Regiment may be thankful they
never reached here The way our boys
are getting killed here Is an awful
sight to see.
1--WE opened the battle on the south
lines from linus Sunday, January 7, at
10 o'clock in the morning, and the way
our regiment drove those niggers was a
sight. 1t was one of Aggie's crack regi-
ments we ran into, and those who were
in the battle will never forget it. We
drove the insurgents ten miles, right
after them, till we struck this town,
where we are now resting, and the bull
let's were flying over our heads till you
could hear them buzzing like bees
1--WE killed a large number and
wounded, so far as accounted for, nine
ty men. This is the fight which will soon
end the war, for the insurgents never
got such licking since the war opened
as we gave them. Our boys kept right
on their feet firing. We never went un-
der cover but once, and that was the
fault Of the First Company on the right.
At one time the niggers jumped right
in a trench they had built there and
fired two volleys into us, killing four
and wounding twenty. That was all the
damage they did to our regiment.
1.-The way our boys fought in this
battle has gained for them the reputa-
ton of being the finest volunteers that
were ever on the island. The regulars
here say we We're the only regiment to
stand up and fight, and not lie under
cover, and the Fourth Regulars and
the Sixth Artillery do not want to go
out with any other regiment but ours.

correctly it would have been ended long
ago, but there is a screw loose some
where.
I'm that scrap we captured eighty
prisoners and the next day they were
turned loose again to go back on the
lines and fight again. If they keep on
this way our commanders will never
end this fighting. We also captured
forty Remington rifles and twenty
bolos and a lot of powder.

ready to move again. Our pands are

RICHEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD

RICHEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD.
The richest woman in the world is a
Chilean, Sonora Consino who runs a
close race with John D. Rockefeller for
the position of the wealthiest OF all
living millionaires. The sonora Ia said
to be worth twelve hundred million dol
lars. so that she might give away or
spend her own weight in gold every
day for the next fifteen years without
exhausting her capital, and find at the
end of this period of prodigality her ac-
cumulated interest still left her the rich
est woman the world has ever known.
Every morning the sonora awakes to
find herself ten thousand dollars richer
than when she retires to rest. Sonora
Consino, who is a widow, is as generous
as she is rich and spends her money law
ishly in hospitality and charity. She is
mistress of lands vast enough to form a
kingdom, of mines of silver rich enough
to support it, and her fleets carry her
merchandise into all seas.-McCall's

The Richmond Times sees in the con-
stitutional convention agitation a move
ment for "honest elections" and is in
clined to favor it for this reason. The
Times, however. believes that amend.
ments to the Constitution might have
been achieved through the Legislature.
In the first argument The Free Lance
comedies with the views Of the Times,
but differs with IL on the last statement.
The Legislature Is too busy over other
matters to properly and thoroughly
amend the Constitution. This was
