A Monster Hand. Orean.

A new style Of hand"organ has
made its appearance in New York
city and has made hit with a goodly
portion of the population. The new
conner is bigger than any of its kind
seen here before, and is mounted on
four wheels. 1t is rigged up fore and
aft with snare drums, base drums and
cymbals, and the organ proper is
unlike any other heard on oui streets.
In addition to the pipes there are
horns that blare whenever the crank
is turned, and the effect is not unlike
the sound of a band. The volume OF
tone is so great that the organ can be
heard at distance of several blocks
Two men handle the machine, and
between them grind out many favorite
airs from the old operas. But it is in
the rendering of marches that the
big organ takes its place as the leader
of its kind. The marches, with the
drums and cymbals co ming in at the
proper time, are rolled out with great
effect and always attract a crowd.

Nav q Woman Tell Her love7
New York World

New York World
1t is true il 10 unconventional for a
woman to tell a man that she loves
him unless the man has persuaded
her to make such confession. But is
there any good reason why a woman
should not take the initiative? Is she
any less woman for doing so? A
shy and timid man may not know
how to tell q woman that he loves her.
Should the woman, who is of frmer
faith and stronger mind, stand halting
and waiting for a confession that may
never come? Why should she suffer
in silence? By SO doing may she not
lose the man who loves her and also
the happiness of lifetime as we'll?

A BEAUMONT, Tex, dispatch of the
9th inst, states that the sixth gusher
oil we'll has been added to the Beau.
mont field and it is reported to be the
finest well yet struck. The we'll is
1,04O feet deep and shows pressure
of so pounds to the square inch,
which is said to exceed the San Lucas
gusher, 100 feet away, and which has
hitherto maintained the record of be
ing the greatest producer in the world.
The oil pool where it was struck is
only 40 feet deep and is resting on a
bed of sulphur. These facts were
ascertained by the drillers. After the
oil was struck the pipe was permitted
to sink until it struck the bottom and
it rested after 40 feet had gone down.
The drillers then bored four feet into
what they say is q bed OF pure sui
phur. In two of the other gushers,
sulphur was struck before the oil was
reached. President Gilbert says that
one day next week the valve will be
opened to test the flow.

CAUSE OF THE QUARREL. Queen Wlhelmina Refused to Pay
 Her Husbands Debts.

New York, Nov. 25.-In connection with Queen Wilhelminas illness the follow ing particulars have been published, says the American correspondent of The Jour nal and Advertiser:
 Tt seems that before his marriage Prince Henry lived for a time at pace beyond his m ans. and as consequence, fell into the hands of money lenders. The debts he contracted in those days were to be settled after his marriage with the rich young queen and quite recently Hen ry made clean breast of the matter to her
 Upon learning all the particulars Queen Wilhelmina declined point blank to pay her consort's debts, the result be- ing that very violent scene took place between them which ended in Henry gushing away to Germany and Wilhelmi- ma being taken i'll.
 "It Is said that only the most imploring telegrams sent to him by the Queens mother, Queen Emma, induced Henry to return to Holland.
 "The Queens mother is anxious to pre- serve appearance at least. Since his re- turn to Holland Henry has not been once to the palace where his Queen is.
 AS proof of the serious character of the Queens illness in spite of all reas- surfing reports to the contrary may be mentioned the fact that the recent off, cial gazette did not contain a single royal command which is an unprecedented state of things.

TRAGEDY IN FRANCE.
Mayor and Deputy of Mentone Shot
 by Councillor Orsini.

New York. Nov. 25.-A dispatch to The Herald from Mentone gives the follow ing additional details concerning the shooting of several city officials by M. Orsinr one of the Councillors:
 The shooting occurred at the Rouque- burne Town Council meeting. After vlo- lent discussion Orsfni drew q revolver and fired at M. Briglanic the Mayor who was dangerously wounded in the ab- domen. A second shot struck M. Sigaut, the Deputy Mayor, who was mortally wounded and who died Sunday
 The criminal was seized by policeman. but freed himself and sprang down the stairs, again firing his revolver and slightly wounding another Councillor The crowd outside scattered and Orsini escaped. In the marrow streets of Rou- quebrune he met the brother of the May or and fired once more, wounding him in the face. He got clear away and has probably passed the Italian frontier.
 The picturesque old town is seething with excitement and the requiem mass celebrated for the Deputy Mayor was largely attended. Three doctors are in at- tendance on the Mayor on whom an op- eratIon will be performed at once.
 It Is supposed the motive of Orsini's conduct was irritation regarding some municipal Improvements opposite the Mayors private house. These necessitated increased taxation and enhanced the val ue of the Mayors property.
 The murderer is former chassaur em- ployed at Monte Carlo. His wife has also disappeared

COLON TO BE PROTECTED.
The United States Will Not Permit
 Bombardment of the City.

Washington, Nov. 25.-It is pretty well understood here that there is to be no bombardment of Colon by either side.
 While Commander McCrea was given wide discretionary power and nothing was said to him about stopping the bonn bardment directly, nevertheless the State Department establis he'd precedent in these matters last year wh. n it instruct de MT. Gudger to warn some insurgents at Panama that they would not be allow ed to lombard that port.
 If the government troops on the Plnzon should per sist in their purpose, 1t is said that the commanders of the various war ships at Colon would require that ample time be allowed for the withdrawal from the town of all foreigners, and the at tacking force, to escape restraint, would be obliged to direct their bombardment with such rare precision as to destroy the insurgent defenses without harming the railroad property, and even without en- dangering the passage of trains, condi- tjons probably not to be met.

BRAVERY OF VANSHAICK
DEEDS OF vALoR OF SECOND
 LIEUTENANT,
Charged the Insurgents and Fought Them Hand to Hand, Killing
 Three With His Revolver.
 He Was Wounded.

Manila, Nov. 25.-Second Lieutenant Louis J. Van Schaick of the 4th Infantry, while scouting with a few men of that regiment, met l50 insurgents, who had attacked and sacked the hamlet of Sla- raca, near Cavite. Upon seeing the Fil- ipinos Van Schaick ordered his men to charge them. The command was obeyed and Van Schaick, being mounted. reached the insurgents sixty yards in advance of his man. He killed three of them with his revolver. An insurgent fired his rifle point blank at Van Schaick at four races, out missed. Lieutenant Van ScEaick was then knocked from his horse.
 He jumped to his feet and engaged in a hand to hand fight with the enemy, using the butt of his revolver. He sus- tained two severe wounds, one of which nearly severed his wrist
 At this point the lieutenant's men ar- rived, rescued him and put the insurg ents to flight. Van scnaick is in the military hospital at Manila, and is do- ing well. He has already been recom- mended for a medal of honor for bravery in a previous engagement

NO NAVAL DEMONSTRATION
Washington Appraised of Action of Nations Party to the Triple
 Alliance.

Berlin, Nov. 25.-The Foreign Office to- day sent for the representative here of the Associated Press and decuared the an nouncement to the effect that the coun- tris party to the Triple Alliance were making a concentrated demonstration in South American waters to be false.
 The informant of the correspondent said there had been no discussion be- tween Germany, Austria and Italy re- garding common action in this direction. He admitted that each country was send ing warships to South American waters. but said they were acting entirely inde- pendently of each other. and were merely protecting the property rights and lives of their subjects. It was further ex- plained that Washington was fully in- formed concerning the intentions of Ger many in this regard.
 German officials in Berlin are of the opinion that the presence in the Carri- bean sea of warships of the powers com pose the triple alliance will have the desired effect.
