patch: This, of course, is a story of what
might nave been, but Johnstown people
are thinking about it yet wifi fear and

Twelfth ward, this city. He is a miner.
AT times he drinks more than is good

but to dozens of others, and possibly to

Stanton drifted down Clinton street
during the afternoon. His peculiar.
swaying motion plainly told his condi-
ton. He said little, combining his eX-
pressions to wild gesticulations. Under
his arm he carried a package. which oc-
casionally he would fondle caressingly,
and then toss with supreme Indifference
from hand to hand. He attracted such
a crowd that an officer decided to place
him under arrest.
At the central police station Stanton
was locked in a cell. The package was
carelessly thrown or a desk. After the
excitement attending the arrest had sub
sided official curiosity demanded that tie
contents of the package be inspected.
The sergeant took out his penknife and
deftly cut the string. No care was eX-
ercised. Police station habitues crowded
closer to the desk. They fell back a lit

CHINESE

Hankow (China) Cor. New York Jour-
nal: It is an old saying that anything
may happen in China, but a recent cpl
sode in the life of the present emperor is
the most extraordinary thing that ever
happened to any occupant OF the Dragon
throne The emperor, whose person is so
sacred, was recently arrested inc bas-
tinadoed as a result of refusing to reveal
his identity to an inferior mandarin.
One day in December last, a young man,
Well-dressed and apparently of good rank,
left a river boat at Chichou, a port on the
Yangtse, ITO miles below Hankow. Step
ping ashore his attention was arrested by
the sight of a woman crouching before a
house door, wailing.
He asked her what was the matter. She
replied that she been the owner of an
opium house A few days before, some SOL
dlers from little gunboats hard by, came,
demanding a large sum of money, on the
receipt of which they would allow her to
continue her business, but if not forth
coming her house would be officially seal
ed, her business stopped and she would be
driven out.
she had no means of raising such a sum
and accordingly the place had been closed
and official slips of paper pasted over her
closed door.
AS the stranger heard her tale, he told
eAAS WHICH " ldkc uOWH the SLIPS ana
enter the house, assuring her that no evil
consequences would follow. She, seeing
that her comforter was apparently a
mandarin, followed his advice. Before
long loungers on the decks of the gun
boats saw what had happened, arrested
the traveller and took him to the man
DARN of the Chichou department..
Here a remarkable interview took place.
The prisoner refused to kneel in accord
with the general custom and would not
give his name. The prisoner was about
81, the emperor's age. That he was no or
binary traveller was proved by his de-
meanor.
So the Chichou mandarin, feeling the
case too important for himself to manage
sent a messenger to Viceroy Chang, Chi
Tung of Wu-Chang, to which he received
the Geographic reply:
Present him with 30 taels and let him
go"
But the prisoner replied that he would
not go for 5000. The Chicou mandarin had
to telegraph for further instructions. So
he was brought up to Wu-Chang and
tried in the court of Kiang Hsi, a country
mandarin.
Here again the prisoner refused to
kneel. and in reply to questions concern
ing his surname replied Heaven and
his personal name Earth" the Chinese
emperor being regarded as the earthly
representative of heaven.
For this and other apparent lack of re-
spect toward the sacred person of the en-
peror and his ancestors, the mandarin
sharply reproved the prisoner and ordered

MINING CLAIM.

Los Angeles (Cal.) Cor. New York Sun:
One of the most remarkable mimi
claims ever filed has recently come t.
light in Los Angeles. A well known at
torney has on his table some parts o.
enormous tusks of mastodons, literally u
bunch of three, found by a client in DEATH
Valley; n it was on the bones of this
animal that the claim was filed. Death
Valley is a well known depression in the
eastern and central part of California. In
winter 1t is not a particularly attractive
region. but in summer it is several de-
grees more disagreeable than almost n
other spot on earth. The heat which Is
radiated from the Rocky Mountains here
is u~nbeafable, and in the vast
sunken pit is the home Of the sand storm,
and given over to the elemental terrors.
Millions of years ago this region, in all
probability, was covered with a forest
growth and was f~requented by large and
powerful maStOdOns. The valley offers
few inducements to any but the owners of
borax mines n gold, silver and copper
prOSpectors. 1t SO happened that one Of
the latter entered the valley late during
the present season and wandered through
the mountains looking for treasure or
signs, when he stumbled upon some curl
Gus bones. Investigation showed that they
were merely the indications of others be-
meath the surface. which had not been
washed away, and a little work resulted
in ~uncovering some enormous tusks,
which could belong only to an animal of
the elephant family. Further investiga-
tons showed hat in some way three
gigantic elephants had died and been COW
cred up here. 1t was impossible to take
them out without appliances. and as the
prospector did not wish to remain there,
he adopted the ingenious eXpedient of
taking out a miners claim and having it
filed with all due ceremony, bringing one
of the tusks to Los Angeles to exhibit.
The excavations made showed that the
remains of three maStodons were lying
together undisturbed where they had
fallen ages ago. From the nature of the
surroundings it was evident that at one
time there had been a swamp there. inc
the assumption was that a herd of masto-
ions had wandered into the slough and
had become mired. The fact thai three
skeletons were lying side by side showed
a habit well known among elephants to-
day-when in fear they rush together and
stand in groups.
These American old-time elephants
may have been driven into the swamp by
human enemies, or they may have stroll
ed into the swamp to drink, sinking into
the quicksand or mud, which in all COun-
tries, has proved the graveyard of SO
many animals. Thus the great elk Is
found begged in the Irish Wamps. The
Big Lick is famous for the remain of anil
mails caught in the treacherous mud; and
whenever a mastodon skeleton is discov-
cred it generally turns out shat it was
trapped either in the quicksand of a
stream or in a bog. The three mastodons
thus staked out will soon be taken out,
bon by bone, and mounted: and if they
prove to be perfect will be as valuable as
a good big nugget.

The general average speed of the left
handed batsmen in covering the 80 feet
from the plate to first was 1918 feet per
second. The right handlers, penalized by
having to first cross the plate, averaged
1922 feet per second. The difference in
favor of the left handed batsmen is 80
feet or just eight inches more per second.
Their position on the near side Of the
plate, in other words, gives them the
same advantage that would come to a
longer stride. They gain eight inches
in every second of running time over the
right handed players.

and said, calmly: Here, study this for

Concerning the standing of the clubs
early in the season, a veteran says: 1.-THE
start will depend very much on the con-
dition of the pitchers to use their curves,
as the players are not yet in their best
batting form, unless it is Brooklyn,
which has a happy faculty Of batting
right off the reel: Hanlon, no doubt, has
some secret that he even keeps away
from his players, leading them into the
good work gradually in the south, for
Hanlon always insists on taking his men
far south each spring for practice"
The Brooklyn champions are more than
holding their own. h absence Of
Hughes and the retirement of "Medico'
McJames has not proved as severe a
handicap to the team as was at first
thought. McGinnity has proved himself
the right man in the right place. and Of
the other pitchers Dunn and Kennedy
are showing excellent form. Kitson is

lyn is especially strong, having in Jones,
Sheckard and Keller the fastest outfield
in the league. Behind the bat, the team
is probably the best in the country. With
Mcclure and Smith in form and Farrell
and Steelman rapidly rounding into con-
dition, opposing teams will have to be
more than speedy on the bases.
The fact that the present season has
been full of lively ball is shown by the
comparative scarcity of pitchers battles.
In most cases a pitchers battle is syn
onymous for a dull game, for it means
light eating. Such games are close, but
often d. sne-sided game is more interest
ing than a close game with little scor-
ing. It is enjoyable to see one side hit
the ball if the other doesn't. particularly
II that one side happens to be the one
that you want to see win.
The pitchers on the whole have been
slower than the other players in striking
their form. A number of them are back
