What an unmodern sound is that oi "a devil-possessed land!" Still, Capt. Welbey, who has been wandering in the interior of Africa, declares that he found one there. It is called Walamo, and is believed to be haunted by evil spirits. Capt Welbey was warned by his escort before he passed it's limits that he would become the prey of de- mons. He found it a most winsonla country, full of luxuriant vegetation and picturesque streams. The first omen of danger perceives by Capt, Welbey was the sudden madness of one of his men. This unfortunate rushed Into camp a raving maniac. Other cases of an equally terrible and daM- gerous sort soon followed. The Al ricans who formed Capt. Welbeys es cort assured him that devils took hold of all who were watched by the Wala- mo inhabitants while they ate H. himself, skeptical regarding these amazing statements, partook of a meal before many Walamoans, who oh served him ak the while, he deelarea with great fixity Afterward to his own astonishment. he began to fee! exceedingly ill 1Fa does not admit, however, that he went mad, and as numerous explorations were subse-; luently made by him, he probably die not.

Spy to Cheat Ills Enemies
 There is pretty general impression that the work undertaken by the spy is invariably disgraceful work, and that the professional military secret service agent is more or less degrad- ed creature-degra led, that is, for tho time being, by the very nature of the mission he undertakes Of course, Aothing could be further from the truth, There are spies and spies. The paid renegade, who for mere pay, un. dertakes to pry into and betray the tecrets of his friends, stands upon an entirely different footing from the off, eer who, taking his life in his hands, ventures into the enemy's camp in or der to gratuitously to obtain informa. ton which may turn out to be of infin- ite Value to his own intelligence de- partment. Lord Kitchener was a spy of this latter sort, and it was his clev. erness, energy and resourcefulness in this capacity which first attracted to him the notice of his superiors. Alone and unarmed he plunged into the re- volted Soudan in the autumn of 1883 and succeeded in penetrating, disguised as peddler of hurra cakes, as far aa Omdurman itself. Here he saw fei- low spy stripped naked, fogged till the flesh hung in ritbons from his body. and then crucified face downward ic the blazing sun.

ANY CLAIM FOR THE SERVICES

story printed yesterday to the effect that
MathewSOn, the pitcher of the New-York club,
was claimed by the Toronto club of the Eastern

the Eastern League, considered the claim good
one. Mr.. Powers said last Right that he had
read the story, and far as he concerned
there not a word of truth in it, Mr.. Powers
continued that if the Toronto club had lodged
claim for the services of MathewsOn he knew moth
ing about it. If any member of the Eastern League
had any claim to file against a National League
club would naturally be turned to the presi-
dent of the organization.
MatheWSon pitched with the Norfolk team of the

was turned over to the league team in this city
with the understanding that his release to be
