returned to the front yard to call the

RAISED $4,000 FOR CHARITY.

Bright and clever Miss Eva Nudge
has richly deserved and won popular
ity and success. Her sympathetic lit
tie heart early decided her career. AS
good as she is liberal, she has for
some years past been engaged in en-
tertaining select circles with song and
impersonation. At six years of age
she attracted public attention by her
remarkable musical, gifts. being en-
gagged at that time to sing at a recep-
ton at the White House, Washington,
d. c., by President and Mrs. Cleve-
land. Twice since that time she has
appeared in entertainments at the
White House, and has been constantly
engaged in giving songs and recitals
during the twelve years past Miss
Nudge has been specially noted for her
warm interest in charity work, and
two beautiful gold medals have been
given her in commemoration of her
services in this direction, one by her
society and professional friends, and
the other, set with diamonds, by the
New York press. She enjoys the proud
and enviable distinction of having
given more to the poor than any other
girl of her age in the country. Her
latest achievement is the rendition, in
a Stonewall Jackson suit and hat, OF
the famous poem, Barbara Frietchie, p
which aptly displays her accomplish
ments. The musical setting enables
her the free use Of a rich contralto
voice. Miss Nudge is a lineal descend

cial remuneration sufficient to crafty
the desires of an ambitious man. The
son was scarcely three years old when
the father-physician decided to seek
new fortune in the opening west.
Chicago, even In those days, offered
many inducements to eastern men to
locate there, but it is singular that
southern Wisconsin then appeared to
offer greater advantages. DR.. White
was one of those New England men
who thought southern Wisconsin a
Mecca for new homeseekers. Before
leaving Colebrook he excited the de-
sires of his friends and neighbors, and
organized among them a New England
colony destined to settle in the west.
Railroads were unknown, stages were
infrequent and travel a hardship. But
DR.. White, as the advance agent of this
New England colony, was sent to Wis
cOnsin to open the way and arrange
for the coming of the colonists. He
left Colebrook in the winter of 1886
81, making the entire journey to what
is now Beloit on a one-horse sled. Be
lott was not even a settlement at that
time, but DR.. White chose 1t as the
resting place for the New Englanders,
and returned to bring them and his
family on. He came to Beloit for
permanent residence in 1887, bringing
his son Horace, his wife and the re-
naming children with him. He died
there in 1s4S, leaving Horace. as the
eldest son, toNbe -the aid of his motker
and the younger children. At an early
age Horace entered Beloit college,
from which he graduated with the
highest honors in 1859. Then he went
to Chicago. This was the time when
editorial pages of great newspapers
made and unmade parties and often
caused the government to change its
policy. Greeley was having great in
fuence upon the newspaper writer's Of
the east. Medill had already begun
to affect those of the west. Mr.. White
studied the characteristics of each, but
followed neither. He became the local
editor Of The Evening Journal. and
in 1866, the same year that Mr.. Medill
and DR.. Ray became so powerful in
Chicago, he was made agent of the
Associated Press, and resigned his po-
sition on The Journal. Just before
the civil var began Mr.. White was sec
rotary of the Republican state central
committee Of Illinois. and held that
position until 1864. During this same
period he was special correspondent
Of The Chicago Tribune at Washing
ton, and met and interviewed every
great public man Of the war period.
Worldly wealth came to him and he
was able to buy a heavy interest in
The Tribune and become the editor
in-chief, which position he held until
1874, when he retired and made an ex-
tensive tour through Europe. On his
return from Europe he became an
editorial writer on The New York
Evening Post.

The P-ireonrram system HAS Been Of
Practical Honcnt
OF all the accomplishments credited
20 the homer. probably none has been
Of such practical benefit as that OF a
number Of birds OF the Great Barrier
island Pigeongram agency, says For
est and Stream. These creatures are
trained to carry messages to and from
the Great Barrier island and Auck-
land. New Zealand, and the system has
expanded so much that II has now
become a very important means OF in
t%ercourse between the inhabitants Of
the island and their friends and busi-
ness connections in the city. At the
time Of the wreck Of the steamer
Wairarapa on the Great Barrier island,
1t was four days before news Of the
calamity reached the capital and this
fact gave rise to the pigeongram sys
tenn. At first but a few birds were
available for the purpose. but in 1896
with the increasing population on the
island, It was found necessary to re-
enforce the feathered army, and at the
present time large numbers Of mes
sages are daily sent from the island
to the metropolis and vice versa, by
this means. In the first place, Is. per
message was charged from the island
to the city and when a team Of birds
had been trained to fly from Auckland
to the island, messages were sent at
a cost of Is. and the messages to the
city were reduced to cd. each. The
reason Of the extra expense from Auck-
land to the island is the difficulty ex-
perienced in getting birds to leave the
city on their journey across the water.
NO messages for the island are sent
from the city after 10 a. m, as the is
land is often enveloped in a fog after
that hour, Some idea of the dispatch
with which the birds deliver their
messages may be gained from the fact
that they average (bad weather and
head winds taken into consideration
from ~sixty-five to seventy minutes,
which journey is about ifty-seven
miles. One bird will carry as many as
four messages at a time. The mes
sages are written on tissue pa
per (quarto size) with carbon lear,
the tissue paper being perforated
down each side, and on being
folded is sealed with the pigeongram
stamp, which the privacy Of
the message. The messages are then
wrapped round the pigeons leg and
covered with a waterproof Logging.
This protects it from wet in case Of
bad weather, or from the bird pecking
it of during transit. To open the mes
sage the receiver cuts through the per-
foration. There are just 100 birds en-
gagged in the service. At both termini
the usual trap for hOmers is used, on
entering which the wires fall back and
strike an alarm. This notifies an at
tendant, who removes the messages,
and the bird is permitted to enter the
main loft.

There is a young man uptown with
a fondness for pets that are a bit out
Of the ordinary. A friend travelling
in the West Indies forwarded him a
mongoose. and with this addition to
his menagerie he was happy. Two
weeks ago another arrived, and now
the owner Of the menagerie is miser-
able. He does not know whether to
call the two ''mongooses," or to refer
to them as "mongeese." Just now he
does this sort Of thing when. he meets
an acquaintance who is familiar with
his fad: You know that mongoose
that Tom sent me last summer? Wen,
he has sent me another, and they are a
lively pair, / assure you" What are
you going to do with them, raise

know, for both of my mon what
ever you call 'em, are males" Better
kill one Of them at once, then; a fell
lown know what to call one OF them,
but when 1t comes to referring to more
than that single one, youm have every
body crazy trying to guess which is
the right thing as between mongeese
