dismissed the bill of Sam Furushina
against the bark Seminole, suit for
$4,000 on account of alleged false inn

into prison upon his complaint without
cause or justification. Captain Taylor's
answer was accepted by the court and
the bill thrown out.

SPEAK OTTT

Editor Star: 80 far as Goo Kim is
concerned the present Consul is well
come to stay here until he is called for
by his ancestors. 1t is only otherwise
with the highbinding cliques, some of
whom are more than eager, apparently,
to get in ahead of the ancestors and
call him Observation-Disclosures
Now l am anxious to know definitely,
whether there is any highbinding party
in our community. If so, call 1t by the
name. If there is not, 1 wish that term
''highbinding"- be abandoned from now
on. RESIDENT.

1t is denied that the presence of a

four days was any business of the saEi-

go so far as to say that If an inspector
took the time every day to look through
the rooms of clean premises he would
be discharged. The duties of inspect

either procedure Is usually attended by
more or less loss Of blood on the part
OF the rescued, owing to misapplied

MARQUIS WON FIGHT.
How Waterford Nobleman Whipped the
Cock OF the North.

Cock OF the North.
The celebrated marquis of Water
ford, one of the best boxers of his day
when driving in his chariot one day in
the neighborhood of his Irish estate,
observed a burly and aggressive-look
ing individual strutting along the high
road with a brass emblem stuck in his
hat. The sight was so curious that
the marquis ordered his coachman to
stop, and inquired of him if he knew
who the person was, and why he wore
such singular decoration. Faith, my
lord, it's Tim Brady from Belfast, who
cslls himself the cock of the north,
and wears that thing in his hat that
every one may know him, and every.
body's frightened of him. was the re.
ply. That was enough to excite the
marquis emulation. Here, my man,
l want you" he called out. 80 you
call yourself the cock of the north, and
everybody's frightened Of you," he
said, when the bruiser, not in the
slightest degree abashed, came up to
the carriage door. Now, look here"
taking a fTe-pound note from his
pocket, "here's five-pound note.
What do you say to have a turn up?
If you beat me the note is yours; if
beat you the object Of. supremacy is
mine" Tim Brady was delighted, and,
as he stripped, already felt the crisp
bit of tissue between his fingers. The
marquis as quickly Invested himself of
his habiliments and put the strictest
injunctions upon his servants that
they were on no account to interfere.
The pugilist went to work with the in
tention of making it sharp and Short,
but got such floorer for his precipita1
ton that in the next round he thought
it best to coupon cautious tack. Very
soon, however, he discovered that his
rough style was no match for that of
the marquis, who had graduated in the
most scientific schools Of fistic art, and
after half a dozen very short rounds
Tim Brady threw up the sponge. With
a knife his lordship cut the brass eff
gy out of the crestfallen bruiser's hat
and put it in his pocket. And if ever

Origin of the Word "Dendhcnd.v

Speaking Of the origin OF the word
"deadhead," Frederick Stanley says:
"In the museum at Naples | was much
interested in case Of theatrical tick-
cts found in tragic theater in Pom
peii. They were made variously IN
bone, ivory and metal. You are
aware, perhaps, that to this day the
gallery of an Italian thcater Is called
the pigeon loft. Well, the little tick
cts for this part OF the auditorium
were in the shape OF pigeons, while
varying devices were used for other
parts of the house. What attracted my
attention most curiously, however.
was a set Of diminutive skulls modelled
in ivory. These were used solely by
those having the right OF free admis-
sion. Now, does this not suggest the
very possible derivation Of the term!"

Are you taking me to the Khalifa?"
exclaimed Cleland, only able to under
stand half Of what was said.
The man made brief assent. and
then, pointing his lance at Cleland's
breast, made him come en-.
There was really nothing else for il
but to allow himself to be led forward,
and Cleland submitted without any
resistance
He was dragged on by his captors
whose savage looks and tones showed
clearly that they had no feeling save
that of bitter hatred against the man
who wore the dress of the hated Eng
lish infidel. In few moments Gle
land found himself entering the zareba
by means of an opening concealed be-
hind brushwood and mimosa-thorn.
Inside the zareba he was dragged
across pits and trenches, between lines
of fierce-faced, gloomy-eyed dervishes
who sprang to their feet, lance in
hand, past huts, donkeys and tethered
camels, on to central hut, which he
guessed must be that of the Khalifa.
The door was open, and the next
moment he found himself in the pres
ence of the ruler of the Soudan, the
man who had such terrible reason to
hate the accursed white race-ac-
cursed both for their unbelief and for
their determined attempts to over
throw his power.
A straw mat lay on the floor in the
center Of the hut; on this reclined the
Khalifa. He looked up as his soldiers
entered with their prisoner, but made
no attempt to rise.
Cleland met a pair of cold, merci-
less black eyes, set in thin, dark
face, keen as an eagles, and as cruel
without wincing or wavering. The
Khalifa waved his hand towards his
men, who began an excited grafton

derstand; but one word he could
make out, and that was spy"

PRESS CENSOR IN WAR.
British Ofiicial in South Africa Holds
RESPONSIBLE Berth.

Responsible Berth.
One OF the most important function.
aries outside the fighting line in South
Africa is the chief press censor, who
occupies a position of extreme respon-
sibility and is probably more abused
than any other six men in the British
army. With Lord Roberts, Lord Stan
ley is acting in that onerous capacity,
and it says much for his tact, skill and
general affability that, although he has
the censorship of all press kilograms,
he is on good terms with every one Of
the war correspondents. The censor
is an officer appointed by the COM
manding general at the front, whose
duty it is to receive, pass, curtail or
refuse any and every message, private
or otherwise, to newspapers or individ-
uals which come through the field tele-
graph Office. Part of his duty is to read
every word of every message with the
utmost care, in order to see whether
it is a plain statement of fact or wheth-
er any subtle meaning underlies the
apparently simple phraseology. If he
passes the message it is signed and dis
patched to its destination; sometimes
it is detained, cut or otherwise dealt
with. The ominous censored" simply
means the liberal use of the editorial
blue pencil, and during the present
campaign some strangely "muddled"
messages have come over the cables.

po.tmen,s Work In Central AfrIe,

The postmaster-general for the Brit
ish Central Africa Protectorate gives
one or two interesting items of news
in his latest report. The mails are still
conveyed for the most part upon the
heads and backs Of native postmen.
The men are recruited chiefly from the
Yao and Atonga tribes, and wear a
uniform. Fully 300 bags of mails are
made up each month at the different
postofIices in the Protectorate for con-
veyance by these men, the total dis
lance travelled being close upon 10000
miles per month, the cost of transit
being less thar I'D. per mile per bag.
The system of forwarding mails at
night by relays of carriers has been
greatly extended; the night mail serv-
ices now represent total distance trav-
eled Of some 5000 miles per month.
The postmen travel in pairs, and are
armed with rifles, as lions are not in
frequently encountered.

tooth Anniversary OF John Brown.

This is an age Of centenaries, and
there Is some hope that the Tooth ami
versary of the birth of John Brown
will be marked by the rescue of his
birthplace at Torrington, Conn The
house has, not appropriately, been
occupied by family Of negroes for
the last few years. The dwelling,
which is supposed to have been built
in 1776, has undergone but little
change, and is, like many another old
homestead Of New England, ceiled
with pine lumber, and with wide
throated stone chimney. When John
Brown was five years old his father
moved to Ohio, then according to
Brown "a wilderness filled with wild
beasts and Indians"
