Ex-President Benjamin Harrison,
one of the ablest men who has figured
In our public life, has always been
handicapped by his unresponsive, cold
manner. When he was in the senate,
at Washington, d. c., in the early
eighties, he always brought his
luncheon to the committee room. He
carried it in his coat pocket, and
would eat it while he went on with
his work. One day when he got it out
as usual from his pocket, he looked
it all over ruefully, for it did look
rather flat and dubious. He finally
remarked to those near by that he
guessed he must have sat on it acct
dentally. One of his colleagues-one
who had recently been ignored by
Harrison-spoke up impulsively:
We'll, by Jove, Harrison, if you've
sat on it, I'll bet you siNpence it is

went up from the whole committee.

Trouble between the United States
and the little Central American state of
Venezuela is possible as the result Of
a quarrel between rival asphalt COM
panies, who have conflicting claims
to the great Bermudez asphalt lake To-
Gated on the shores of the Orinoco riv-
er. Both Of the asphalt concerns are
United States corporations, one Of them
being the National Asphalt company,
commonly known as the asphalt trust.
1t is even charged that the trust has
had hand in encouraging the rebel
lion in Venezuela which Is now in
progress. The leader Of the rebellion
Is Celestino Peraza, who until recently
was the secretary Of the present pres
ident of the republic, General Castro.
General Castro himself came into
power as the result of a successful
rebellion which resulted in the over
throw of the government headed by
President And rade. Since Castro took
control Of the government in the latter
part of 1899 he has successfully sup
pressed at least two rebellions, so that
he knows what he has to deal with.
Leader Of tie SroubIe.
Celestino Peraze. the leader of the
present rebellion, began his outbreak
in the country along the Orinoco river
in the last days of December, 1900. A
force of $500 men was Immediately
sent against him by President Castro.

reached from the Mississippi river to

was about twenty-four times as large
as the state of New York. The price
paid was $15,OO0,OO0 the cost of two
or three big office buildings in this
city at the present day. Now, the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition already
has in its treasury more money to
begin the show with in 1908 than our

CHASED THE SUPER,
The Exciting Race Between Ksan and
the Stage Hand.

The Exciting Race Between Ksan and
the Stage Hand.
Some strange tales have been told by
old-timers in the stage business about
the Keans, both the elder and the last
to be seen on the American stage.
Some have said that hard study made
them a little wrong at times, and some
OF the things they did certainly looked
queer. 1t is told by an old New Or
leans horseman. who is here from the
Crescent City. that when Kean, the
younger, was playing there. he nearly
scared super to death and came near
"pinking" him. 1t was in Richard
ILL.," in the scene where he sees the
ghosts. The stage manager was a lit
tie bit the worse for drink and deter
mined to have some fun. He did not
hind the scenes. Among the supers
was a raw Irish lad who had never
seen stage before. The manager told
this fellow that If he would run across
the stage when he gave him the tip
he would stand to earn 81. The poor
fellow was broke, and two-spot
looked to him like a national bank.
He agreed and the stage manager gave
him a gaudy oilcloth banner bearing
these words: Smoke General Jackson
Cigars" 1t was nearly panic that
this Irish lad started. He ran across
the stage, and when Kean saw him he
was furious. He made a lunge at the
unfortunate super with his sword, and
as the rag" came whizzing down to a
hurry call he chased the poor standard
bearer off the stage, down the passage
and to the street. For two blocks he
followed him in his Richard costume,
and finally the super escaped down a
dark alley. What effect it had upon
the show the turfman does not say, but
certainly it was only the super's agil-
ity of foot that saved him.-CincinnaL

AMONG ANCIENT PERUvIANS.

The Early Tribes Trephined Skulls with
Stone Instruments.
Prof w. ]. McGee of the bureau of
ethnology, in Washington, has received
official permission to exhibit at the
PanAmerican Exposition in Buffalo
his studies Of trephining among the
early Peruvians. He will show ancient
skulls trephined by stone implements,
and in connection with this, some ami
NAL skulls, showing experimental work
done under Prof. McGee's direction,
using the same flint implements which
the aborigines were forced to employ.
1t is doubtful whether the ancient op-
erations were performed for distinct
ly surgical purpose or whether the op-
Grafton was Of some mystic signific-
ance In some cases the freshness of
the wounds in the bone showed that
the patient did not long survive the
operation, and in one or two instances
it is plain that the ancient operator
must have cut down upon large blood
vessel, causing almost instantaneous
DEATH but in other cases the operation
was more successful and the patient
must have survived for some years at
least. Prof. W. H. Holmes, of the Ma
tional Museum, will exhibit dozen
groups of models representing the do
mestic life of the aborigines of both
North and South America, and will
show also the houses in which they
lived and some of the garments and
implements of their daily life. This
exhibit, although under the auspices of
the National Museum, has been planned
to supplement the regular ethnologic
and archaeologic exhibit of the exposi-
tion.

London. Neglected Opportunity.

At the best of times the Thames
steamboat service has never been any
thing like adequate for the real de-
mands of the metropolis, says Lon
don correspondent. Ugly, slow-mo-
toned little boats running every half
hour, and quite unpunctual at that,
have been the Londoner's lot for years
past, and because the service did not
pay, as we'll 1t might not, it has been
entirely discontinued since last sum-
mer. So that fine thoroughfare, which
If properly utilized would at least go
some way toward solving the problem
of London's congested street traffic lies
neglected and unusued. To remedy
this state of things the London county
framed and lately brought be-
fore the house Of commons bill en-
powering them to build and run on the
Thames passenger steamers of their
own. This bill, however, has been
thrown out. certain vested interests
being wholly opposed to 1t, and Lon
don is left pretty much where 1t wa.
