General warren's forces have fought

Soon after midday the battle on the
hill became furious and from 3 10 the

MANS SOUL LIVES IN DOG.
Remarkable Story OfTrnnsmigration
Reported in Eastern France--An-
imal Speaks InteliigcntIy.

One of the most wonderful stories of
the transmigration of souls ever told
comes from L'Orient, an eastern sea-
port, where seven persons of good in
telligence and a reputation for truth
swear upon their honor that a dog
spoke to them intelligently.
Ten years ago. according to their
testimony, mariner of the name of
Kerbec, who had always been firm
believer in the TRANSPORTATION of the
human soul TO the body of an inferior
being, told his wife that after he died
he would return to her in the disguise
of some domestic pet
Four years ago a strange dog wan
dered into the house and remained, be-
ing well taken care of by the family.
Three days ago Widow Kerbec, her
three grown children. and three neigh
bors. including a skeptical schoolmas-
ter, were spending the evening togeth-
er at the house. chatting pleasantly,
when suddenly the dog rose on his
hind legs and spoke distinctly in a
faraway, unnatural voice. these words
"Adieu, wife and children; adieu
friends 4
Then the dog fell over stone dead.

CASTELLANE IN STRAITS.
Chateau de Marais, His Magnihcent
Country Place, TO BE Sold
at Auction.

Financial disaster is fast overtaking
Count Boni de Castellane. 1t is an
nounced by staring placards in the VII
lage of st. Cheron, 80 miles from Paris,
that the contents of the beautiful Cha-
teau de Marias, the country home ot
the Castellanes, will be sold for the
benefit of the counts creditors. Ihe
sale will include the furniture, horses.
carriages and the valuable contents OF
the wine cellar. All Paris will be pres
ent when the auctioneer mounts his
block.
The count has been forced on several
occasions of late to. take extreme meas
ures to raise funds and has parted with
many valued family relics. A magnifi-
cent wardrobe, costing $25O0O0, was
sold to NJ. Chaffeyon, Partisan art
dealer. Some of the art collections in
the palace of the Bois de Boulogne were
turned over to j. Pierpont Morgan Tor
$5 ,0OO,O 900. In spite of his securing this
sum the counts yacht, the Walhalla,
was recently attached by the builders
for $175,00O. A clock upon which the
| count expects to realize 100000 has
been offered for sale. The count has
obtained several loans from bankers in
Paris which have helped him great
| deal.
1t is said that the countess, formerly
Anna Gould, has tired of putting NJ
money for her husband and that he1
purse strings will not be again relaxed

FLOUR MILL IN PARA.
It's Erection and Operation VIII he
Eeenly Felt by American Manu-
facturers of Flour.

"a movement is in progress, backed
by foreign capitalists-principally
French---to erect a gigantic flour mill
here" writes Consul Kennedy from
Para. "The location is reported to
have been selected, and the building
will be completed not later than
March 81. 1901. The erection of this
mill will be felt keenly by American
manufacturers of flour, who are mar
keting their surplus in the Amazon
valley, though our exporters may still
be able to supply the grain. More
important still is the reported forma-
ton of syndicate composed chiefly
of Europeans for the purpose of erect
ing flour mill, a sawmill and sugar
mill combined, the enterprise to be
known as the Para and Amazon Val
ley Milling company
"The entire outfit. am Informed,
will be purchased in the United States
and an experienced American will be
employed to superintend the erection
of the mill. DR.. Dulhona will doubt
less be selected to visit the United
States. with a view to completing ar
rargements."

FISH IN Boys THROAT.
Lad Went Fishing in Family Aqua-
rum and Nearly Lost
AZ His Life.

small boy with a tiny fish alive in
his throat, threatening every moment
to choke him, was what Mrs. o. w.
Hubbard, of Riverside L. l., found
when she entered the sitting-room of
her house to see what noise of fall
ing meant. The boy, aged three, was
hers, and the fish was out of an
aquarium that the boy had never tried
to fish in before. The boy was suf-
fering eXcruciating pain, and his pa
rents were frantic with terror and
grief.
Mr.. Hubbard opened the child's
mouth and could see the tail of a
fish wriggling far down the boys
throat. Nearly two hours were spent
in trying various means to withdraw
the fish. All failed. Finally the boy
was placed under the influence of
chloroform and the fish was moved far
enough to one side OF his throat to al
low him to breathe. The boy will re-
cover.

DEpEw,s ADVENTURE.
story Told in Paris of How His weft-
Meapt Efforts to Restore Lost
Property Miscarried.

United States Senator Chauncey NJ.
Depew got into trouble in Paris in per-
forming an act of kindly gallantry.
Most to blame for the distressing oc-
ourrence was the senator's imperfect
French This is the story told.
Having found purse on the floor
of hotel near an armchair where
he had seen a pretty girl seated short
time before, the senator deposited the
purse with the hotel clerk. An hour
later, being on the street near the ho-
tel, the senator recognized by the light
of street lamp the same girl hurrying
: home from her call. sg.
DESTROYS of saving. her anxiety when
she discovered her loss, the senator
walked briskly after her, and when he
had reached her side addressed her in
his politest French.
The girl, not understanding, shrieked
for help.
The senator tried to pacify her, and,
as she persisted in her failure to COM
prehend and in crying for assistance,
grew vehement and scared her all the
more.
Finally the girl ran to policeman
and appealed for protection. 1t was
only after a long wrangle that the po.
hceman would admit the possible truth
of Senator Depew's laborious explana.
tion.
