Investments in horse-fesh are pro-
verbally uncertain. but city board
of health found an ample return for
the fifteen dollars expended in the pur-
chase of horse. The animal was used
IN producing antitoxin, and yielded
many thousand walls, valued at thous-
ands of dollars. Having done his
work and been turned out to grass, he
now enjoys a well-deserved rest.

squad of marines on every train.
General Alban has been slightly

him. He is now marching upon this
place. 1t had been General Alban's in
tention to surprise the revOlutonists
at Culebra but they We're evidently
aware of his coming. for when the
train was near Culebra it was stopped
and fired upon by liberals. The Lib

fore beginning their retreat and then
they contested every step of the way
to Empire, which is about Il mile and
Il half from Culebra
General Alban found Captain Perry
with some of the marines of the Iowa,

The American officer told General AL
ban that neither government nor Lib

FIVE WEEKS ALLOWED
TO TEAR DOWN FENCES

Cheyenne. Wyo.. Nov. 2G.-Denver
Republican Specially - The United
States court room was crowded yester-
ndy afternoon when A. A. Spaugh, the
Mannville cattle man. who Was on Sat
urday convicted of illegally fencing Il
tract of 225.OOO acres of government
land. appeared TO receive his sentence.
After reviewing the trial. Judge Ri
ner stated that the court would give
the defendant until January I'd to re-
move the fence inclosing the govern
ment land and at that time sentence
would be imposed according to the
merits of the case.
Mr.. Paugh stated that he would use
all diligence in seeing that the fence
is removed at once, and it is expected
that the sentence imposed will be mere
ly a nominal fine if the mandate of the
court is carried out and all of the
fence is removed by January I'd. The
area enclosed by Spaughs fences is ap-
proXimately 5OO.OO0 acres, of which
about 100000 acres is government
land. He was indicted for fencing 225,-
600 acres.
This will make about 100000 acres
to be thrown open to the public for
GRAZING purposes. lie WOfk VI teif-
ing down these. fences is a big task.
Mr. Spaugh estimating that it will take
thirty men thirty days to complete the
work. There are about 100 miles of
fencing.
The example of Spaugh probably will
be followed by other fenccrS of gov
ernment land. as this case has been
watched by many stOckmcn and com
panies. who, doubtless. will accept as
final the decision of this first test case

SCOUT IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Major Burnham Finde 1t DImcult to
Avoid Being Seen by Beers.

hSOu helnR seen ny bOers.
At Zand River Maj F. r. Burnham.
the American scout. spent an after
noon inside a Kaffir hut. while on a.
bench outside were ranged number
of Boer officers watching the move
ments of the British in the distance.
the thin mud plaster wall, an inch
from the head of the nearest Boer.
was likewise watching the proceed
ings. There was only one room in
the hut, and when some Of the Beers
decided to come and sit inside, the
scout had to jump for pile of skins in
one corner and lie motionless for two
hours, while one of the Beers sat SO
close that he could have touched
Burnham without rising from his seat.
The incident illustrates one Of Maj.
Burnham's maXims. "Invisibility," he
says, ''is immobility; but" he adds.
1t is not easy to remain motionless
unless you keep an eye on the man
you wish to avoid. When you lose
sight of him your Imagination is like
ly to get the upper hand of your judg-
ment-and your nerves have to be in
good condition then" At another
time he lay two days and two nights
in an ant-bear hole. just big enough
to keep him concealed from a neigh
boring commando. He was accom-
panied by one black boy laden with
explosives who also had to use the
same kind of shelter The diet and
the hard travelling were too much for
the black boy, who had been chosen
for his great strength and endurance.
So Burnham took the guncotton with
which his companion was laden and
went on alone, while the boy strug-
gled back to the British lines. When
the Beers moved on, Burnham blew
up the railroad between Pretoria and
johannesburg, enabling the British to
capture number of engines and cars
at johannesburg. He was twelve days
on the expedition, living the last four
days on raw mealies only.-Pearsons

THE CLEVER TALLEYRAND.
His Frank Confession, Telling How He
Hecama Rich

hecame hlcn.
Talleyrand used to relate to his in
Inmates that when lie moved into the
Rue de Grenelle he was so poor that
though obliged to keep a splendid
staff of servants there was no cash to
pay their wages and that his stage
coach was unpaid for. The coach
builder having asked the statesman
when he could settle up, Talleyrand
smilingly replied: "Vous etes bien Gu
rieux." He was fond of saying that
it was good thing to have been
STEPPED in the Styx. styx souvenirs
may have urged Talleyrand to a course
for which the world abuses him; he
certainly showed an invulnerable un-
scrupulousness in financial negotia-
tions with certain foreign govern
ments. In his memoirs, while admit
ting that he had pocketed vast sums.
he insists that his services and diplo-
matte tact saved those clumsy admin
istrators double the sums they paid
to him. Talleyrand was worth 80, ,OOO,-
O00f. at the coming Of Napoleon to the
throne. The emperor once asked his
minister how he became so rich.
Sire" replied Talleyrand, II bought
stock (rentes) the day before the 1st
Brumaire and sold them the day aft
er'-the date when Napoleon came
into power. 1t was at the house in
the Rue de Grenelle that he first met
the Princess de Talleyrand whom he
married-only by the civil law-upon

Damage by the Storm.

New York, Nov. 26-Reports of the
damage done by the storm of Satur-
day night and Sunday continue to
come in. Details from points on the
Jersey coast, the southern coast of
Long Island and the upper shore Of
Long Island sound show that the de
struction was widespread and the
monetary loss much heavier than at
first supposed. 1t is now estimated at
