INTERESTING WAR RELICS.
National Museum Has Added to It's
Collection Mementoes of Span
ish-Ame rican Conflict

Relics of the Spanish-American war
are being sent constantly to the war
department by officers in the various
islands, and among the recent acquisi-
tions is large section Of the Spanish
flagstaff that stood on the walls of the
arsenal at Fort Santiago, Manila. 1t is
of the "dungon" tree, square in shape,
and highly polished. TWAS sent to the
war department by Col. w. S. Nicolas
key, of the army. Ithas jus tbeen sent
to the National Museum to be placed
with the large and interesting collec-
ton of Spanish-American trophies in
the hall of American history.
There is a collection of silver and
copper coins picked up in circulation in
Manila, comprising those of the
French-Indo, China, Hong-Kong, Sara
wax and settlements of India and Bor-
neo, and also an interesting lot of
stamps issued by the Philippine revo-
lutionary government in 1s9s-'99.

AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES BEST
Their Superiority Is to Be Proved at
Meeting of British En-
rineers

Some interesting figures anent
the relative merits of American and
English locomotives have been given
by M. r. Jefford, an American en-
gineer, who has just returned from
Russia, where he was engaged in con-
nectlon with the construction of new
railway. These figures will be given
IN paper to be read before one of the
leading engineering institutions of
Great Britain in few days.
Comparing the New York Central
with the London & Northwestern, Mr..
Jefford shows that where the freight
rate oftthe latter is 21s cents a ton
for mile, that of the former is only
o.56 cents, while the expenses relative
ly are LIS cents and O.34 cents. Yet,
despite this disproportion in favor of
the English system, the result shows
that the English locomotive earned
only Cabs, whereas the American
earned eS,361. Yet, according to
statements heard at a general meet
ing of English railway shareholders,
the experiment of importing, American
locomotives is not likely to be contin-
ued, as they are far inferior to the
homemade article.
Mr.. Jeford's paper further shows
that while the New York Central has
reduced working expenses rs per cent.
since 1870, the British railway is now
working at higher rate.

ers and Torpedo Boats to. he Soon
Turned Over to Government

Twenty torpedo-.bo destroyers and
torpedo boats will be turned over to
the government by contractors within
the next four months, says a special
from Washington to the New York
Herald. The destroyer Decatur will be
ready for her preliminary trial in June
and the destroyer Dale month later.
The cambridge, the Barry and the
Chauncey have been advanced to
about the same stage. The Lawrence
and the McDonough are about complet-

failed to make her speed, and her
screws will be altered.
The Paul Jones and the Preble are
we'll along toward completion, but
their trials will be delayed that their
sterns may be remodeled The torpedo
boats Stringham and Goldsborough
have had preliminary trials, but on ac-
count of accidents will have to again
go over the official course. The Bailey
has successfully passed her preIim-
mary trial. The Shubrick will soon be
delivered to the government. The Bar
ney, the Biddle, the Blakely, the De
Long and the O'Brien, it is expected,
Will have their trials this summer.

PIETY AND FULL STOMACH.
DIR. Par&hurst in Sermon Declares
That the Former Disappears
When the Latter Exists,

DR.. Parkhurst preached a sermon in
the Madison Square Presbyterian
church, New York city, in which he
satirized the attitude of the ordinary
human being regarding prayer. "It
is one of the facts that must be reck-
oned WITH observed DIR. Parkhurst,
that, naturally, devoutness goes out
OF our hearts just as fast as comfort
comes into our bodies And that fact
is expressed in a very practical and
concrete way when I say [ believe I
never sat down to more than one table
where the-blessing was asked at the
end of the meal.
"We thank God when we are hungry
and forget Him when we have had
enough. 1t is, in fact, great problem
how to keep the body in prime condi-
ton without it's costing the soul, and
to keep the soul in prime condition
without its pauperizing the body. And
the problem is not very often solved.
There used to be appointed days of
fasting and prayer, and they were
based upon the idea that piety is in
compatible with full stomach"

FOR WIRELESS TELEGRApHY.
Board of Naval Oficers Recommends
Its Adoption for Communication
Between Naval stations

The board of naval officers, headed
by Capt. Chadwick, appointed to make
full Investigation and report on
wireless telegraphy, has completed its
work and submitted its report to Adj
miral Bradford, chief of the naval
bureau of equipment, having charge
of this subject. 1t had been expected
that the inquiry would last through
the summer and the navy department.
has been somewhat surprised at the
pfomptness with which the board has
been able to reach its conclusions. AL
though the findings are not made pub
lie, it is known that the board reports
on the entire feasibility of the sys-
tenn and recommends that it be adopt-
ed and that the present system of US
ing carrier pigeons for messages be-
tween naval points be abandoned.
With the report the board submits
the results of an extended conference
with Senior Marconi, the Italian in
ventor, concerning the general subject
of wireless telegraphy 1t is under
stood that Marconi made no PROPOSE
tion regarding his own system, and
that the board secured his views as an
expert on the general subject. There
is no finding in favor of any particular
system, but general treatment of all
systems. The board has no doubt
that wireless telegraphy will prove a
valuable adjunct for the navy.

Authorities OF Ramsay County, Mimi.
Will Try to Secure Requisitions

The Ramsay county board of control
has decided to seek requisition papers
in order to secure the return to Mime

Society Women Returning from
Longchamp Are Given a Scare
by the Herd

The fashionable throng returning
from Longchamp had an exciting ex-
perience the other day. Just as the
carriages were bowling up the Alice
des Acacias a herd of deer rushed
across the road, causing the widest
commotion.
Horses reared and the fair occu-
pants of the carriages screamed. Then
the sylvan vision disappeared. Few
people knew that there are exactly
"a deer in the Bois de Boulogne.

CURIOS FROM BRAZIL
Prof. ]. B. Steer Returns from Trip
Among Indians Along Amazon.
Odd and Abbreviated Articles OF
Dress-Their Ornaments and Wea-
pons-Blowgun IL Feet Long
Inyeterate Snuff-Takers.

Prof. j. b. Steer, a government
scientist, has just returned from a
three-months trip to Brazil, having
spent almost the entire time upon
the Amazon and it's tributaries in
search of fish and other aquatic spe-
cimens. He was at the National mu-
scum the other day, busily engaged
IN unpacking the wardrobe of a fam
lily of one Of the numerous tribes of
Indians inhabiting the forests in the
vicinity of Pera.
An ordinary golf bag would hold
the clothing worn by an entire fam
lily of these Indians and leave room
for a number of luxuries besides.
Prof. Steer calls them the Jammadi
tribe, and says they are an interest
ing lot, of good physique, with un-
usually quaint customs.
The dress of the women consists of
red cotton fringe, about six inches
in depth, worn across the abdomen,
and further embellished with a cord
and tassel tied about the waist. A
string of shells worn through the
ears, a necklace of monkey teeth, a
bracelet of bark, and pair of bones
worn through the nose completes the
toilet. The men are less eXtrava-

turtles, fish, game and corn, their
nude bodies being well rounded and
nourished. They are inveterate snuff
takers, and the new collection con-
tains a shell filled with the snuff
and pair of hollow bones used for
inserting in the nostrils, which is
their method of snuffing.
The hunting outfit comprises a bow
with poisoned arrows for shooting
game that flies or lives low, bottle
of poison, lance, such as they use
in tiger hunting, and a blowgun.
The latter weapon is about 12 feet
long, made of two hollow pieces of
wood, the inside polished by drawing
a stone back and forth through the
bore. while the outside is wrapped
firmly with bark smeared with resin.
The gun is used by wrapping broad
belt of bark about the waist as tight
as it can be drawn, all the while in

A PER1LoUs RIDE.
of Pullman Coach During Fast
Run of Fifteen Miles.

John Van Akin, Erie telegraph
operator at Lackawaxen, Pa, had a
fearful ride on the outer step of a
closed Pullman car of a vestibule
train, clinging to the outer hand
rail, and riding to Pond Eddy, Pa,
distance of Is miles, before he was
rescued from his perilous position.
Van Akin left his home at Lacka-
waxen to go to Port Jervis. He
reached the Pullman car as the train
was moving and just as the porter
had closed the small side door that
protrudes over the steps.
AS the train increased it's speed,
rounding the many sharp curves on
the Delaware division and his body
bent outward, he realized his danger
Gus situation, and clung with despera-
ton until Pond Eddy was reached,
when a trainman discovered his
and rescued him.
In the meantime his mother, who
saw him clinging to the car as the
train moved out of Lackawaxen, be-
lieving that he could not possibly re-
tain his hold, went to the signal
tower and messages were sent along
the line asking freight crews to look
out for her sons body along the
track.
At Rosas the train was stopped by
special orders to let Van Akin off if
he was still hanging to the car but
the operator, though his nerves
were considerably unstrung& by his
frightful experience, continued his
ride to Port Jervis, and returned
home at noon.

AGED GYPSY QUEEN DEAD.
After More Than a Century of Wan
dering Anna Stankonic
Passes Away.

After 1O7 years Of wandering, Anna
Stankonic, once queen of big band
of Hungarian gypsies in Europe, died
in Cleveland, O.. the other day.
She passed away in tent sur
rounded by number of rough-look-
ing gypsies and a crowd of un-
washed, frowsy gypsy girls. In the
afternoon her body was placed in a
rich black casket. It was placed in
small tent, one side of which was
pulled back. Half dozen greasy
candles sputtered and burned in a
vain attempt to compete with the
bright rays Of the sun. Nobody paid
the least attention to the corpse.
Anna Stankonic was born in
Orszag, Hungary, and was queen Of
big tribe there for years During
the Napoleonic wars she was wander
ing over Europe, and was wont to
tell many stories of her adventures
with the armies. The old queens
tribe went to England and thence
came to America, where she abdicat-
ed in favor of her daughter, now in
Chicago. Her son-in-law by marriage
with her daughter became king of
the tribe.
The funeral was held at sundown.
and as the procession left the camp,
her husband, 81 years old, took out a
well-worn pocketbook and emptied
from it into his hands dozen or
more ten-dollar gold pieces. He
chuckled and crooned to himself as
he caressed the shining coins.

PLAN BIG BANQUET.
Affair to Be Held at London to Be
Of International Character.
Andrew Carnegie Promises to Secure
Attendance of Brilliant Ameri-
can Financiers, Manufacturers
and Business Men.

Extraordinary preparations are be-
ing made for the banquet the Lon
don chamber of commerce intends to
give June 5 in honor of the New York
chamber of commerce. The arrange
ments on behalf of the Americans
concerned are in the hands of An
drew Carnegie, the multi-millionaire
steelmaster, who came to London
not only to attend the annual meet
ing Of the British Iron and Steel in
stitute, but also to give his personal
tion with the coming international
dinner.
Mr.. Carnegie has pledged his word
20 Albert G. Sandeman, president of
the London chamber of commerce,
that he will secure the presence at
the banquet on June 5 of the most brill
liant company of American manu-
facturers, merchants and financiers
ever assembled in Europe. He has
induced President Morris K. Jesup,
of the New York chamber of COM
merce, to come to London thus early
in order that he may have time be-
fore the banquet to visit among the
British business men and win their
friendship.
Mr.. Jesup said to the Chicago Rec
ord-Herald correspondent: ''This ban
quet will be the first of the sort
ever given. The sentiments gather
ing about it appeal strongly to all
lovers of peace and good will among
men. It seems impossible that the
occasion should be less brilliant than
unique. international amity ought,
l believe, to take it's rise in COM
merce, for commerce underlies pol
itics and often shapes the course of
political events. Once the great pro-
ducing and distributing classes of
Great Britain and the United States
understand each other and realize
the interdependent character of their
relations, the two nations will have
little difficulty in strangling jingoes."

Who is the tallest officer or man in

ters received here from the Philip

siderable discussion of the question
out there. The honor is claimed for
soldier named McGiffen, who was
transferred from the Sixteenth in
fantry to the Manila police force. The
friends of another man of the Six
teenth, name not given, maintain that
his six feet eight inches tops McGif-
fen's height. Naval officers say that
the tallest member of their service,
commissioned and enlisted force in
cluded, is Surgeon James E. Gardner,
who was recently ordered from duty
at Boston to duty at Manila. Nobody
here remembers his exact height.
