AN EXTRAORDINARY TREE.
Xt Grows in the Wilds of Africa and Is Known as the Baobab o1
 KinschaSsa,

In the Congo region there is a most remarkable tree, of which Europeans had often heard, but of which they had never seen picture until few days ago, when several photogra phs of it, which were taken by order of the Congo government, arrived in Paris, Berlin and London. Tbe tree is known as the baobab of kinschas- sa, and it is believed to be the largest tree of it's kind in all Africa, says the New York Herald.
 Kinschassa is on the Congo rail- road, about an hour and haIf's ride from Leopoldville, and is flourish ing place, having several factories and an English mission. The banks of the Stanley pool are low at this point and several huge baobabs grow on them. The natives call these mon- sters monkeys bread trees," and digitata."
 The monarch of them all, which has just been photographed, is over 30 feet in circumference, yet, strange to say, it is hardly 30 feet in height. It's gigantic iches are leafless and withered, .-.d the trunk itself has for ma years shown signs of decay. Ind" \, it is quite hollow on one si le, it is evident that it cannot sur vive much longer. At the foot it's growth has been most abundant, as can be seen from the great breadth and solidity, not only of the main trunk, but also of it's numerous of. shoots.

Whiskev Discovered In a Cave.

Nothing too good for the patrons of Board of Trade. Just received bar rels of MOOnshine corn whiskey that was made in 1870 by Harris Tyson in the Blue Ridge mountain district of North Carolina and being made contrary to law was hid in cave to prevent the government from collecting the rev. enue. He stored 800 barrels in this cave. Some ten years later he was killed by revenue officer and the whiskey was forgotten, until 1900 when his son, Harris Tyson, Jr., discovered the entrance to this cave and entered for half mile when he was attracted by very pleasant Odor. Having a desire to locate the OdOr he continued little further where he discovered a pile of half decayed slaves and iron hoops and short distance ahead he came to small lake and on examining it he found it to be whiskey. It had been put up in barrels with iron hoops which had rusted and broke and let the whiskey out and it formed this lake. He immediately set up a distill- cry aad refined the whiskey, getting only 90 barrels out of the original 800. It is as pure as whiskey can be made, being made from white flint corn and pure mountain water and has never passed through the hands of any Jew rectifier Ur wholesale dealers. Try it straight or as a hot toddy and you will say 1t is the proper thing. We also handle Duff Gordon Sherry, vintage 1883; o.

A knife made by the Yakootsk blacksmith would swap for a Birmingham blade, an English fowlng piece for Russian copper kettle, etc. The Alaska output of furs used to be about equally divided between these two main competitors, while the ar rival of the Yankee whalers in num- bers in those waters raised havoc with these harmonious relations. Then Yankee tricks, Yankee notions and Yankee rum carried the market by storm, and the Eskimos got their first touch of civilization.

Hard on Our Horses,

The experience of the German army in China tends to prove that both American and Australian horses are unsatisfactory in that country. They are of good blood and breed, but suf- fer sadly from the long sea voyage and the unaccustomed food, as, un- fortunately, only green forage is usu- ally obtainable. Mongol ponies are proving the most useful.

This was the appointment rendered

Big DAY AT POYNTELLE.
Over 1000 Person Eat CLANS, Corn,
Chicken and the Like, at This
Beautiful Summer Resort.

George ". West division, No. 46S
brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
went to Poyntelle yesterday over the
Ontario and Western and celebrated
the day with one of their Justly famous
Rhode lsand clam bakes and shore din
ners. There were nearly 1000 people
on the ground and the ease with which
the ontario officials handled such a
crowd was remarkable, considering the
large coal trsfhc that goes over the
road
Superintendent r. Il. Williams and
Travelling Passenger Agent John F.
Welsh looked after the safety of the
guests and, indeed, a great deal of the
success of these affairs is due to the
energetic way that Mr.. Welsh has
worked his end of the business. This
year h larger number of Scranton's s
representative business men and their
wives went along than ever before.
TO those who don't know about It,
this is an annual affair of the railroad
men on the ontario and Western to
which epicures look forward with
anticipation. The clam bake is always
under the PERSONAL supervision of
Prof. Ward Edwards, of New York
and he is the only one of his kind in
eXis tenCe. All other clam bakes are
not in it with the ones he gets up. He
takes barrels of clans, sweet potatoes
sweet corn, blue fish and spring
chicken, lays them on a bed of new
mown hay over a ton or so of heated
boulders, in an immense hole in the
ground, and then covers them over and
cooks them slowly by steaming, and
when the time comes for serving them
everything is found to be nice and
sweet, clean and tender and fit for
the most discriminating epicure.

THEIR VIEWS DIFFER
West Side Councilmen Not of One
Mind on the Question of Paving.
Session of the Commoners.

A difference of opinion exists among
some of the West Scranton council
men as to whether South Main ave-
nue.. between Hampton and oxford
streets. should be paved just now or
not. This fact was brought to light
at last nights meeting of the COM
mon council.
Councilman William Lewis, Of the
Fifteenth ward, introduced an ordin-
ance providing for rhe pavement of
the two blocks, in question, with Wit
rified brick and moved that it be re-
ferred to committee with instructions
to report forthwith. Councilman A.
l.. Lewis, of the Fifth ward, objected
vigorously to this course of action. lie
contended that it was not right TO
put Il pave down on the street until
a sewer was put in. His fight was
useless, however, AS the motion pre-
vailed. The ordinance was passed on
first and second readings later in the
evening and was referred to the city
solicitor for an opinion as TO its le-
gality.
City Solicitor Watson sent in a com =
munication asking whether he should
appeal from the award of 500 made
by the viewers appointed to estimate
the damage caused by the widening of
Scranton street. 1t was referred to
the judiciary committee, as was also
another communication from the So
licitor announcing that in his opinion
the claim of A. j. RoGan against the
city could not be successfully con-
tested.
The following resolutions were in
troduced and passed.

tional clerk in the controllers office

THE bureau of police. to which you

make my administration n success, II
is esseptial that each and every Off
Ger should perform his full duty. I
assure you that both the recorder and
myself will at all times appreciate in
the fullest measure duty well per-
formed.
II need not enumerate the duties Of
an officer, for they are plainly printed
In the rules governing the force. The
peace VI the city and the safety OF
our people are entrusted to our care.
] sincerely trust that all of us will
fully realize the grave responsibility
we have assumed when we took the
oath of office. The recorder and my
self have fully decided TO place the
bureau of police and the bureau Of
fire on civil service basis, So that
when an officer performs his duty well
and lives up to the requirements laid
down for his guidance, he need not

influence can make his removal posi- =.

formed along the lines of duty.
II will state that every officer
should he equipped with n copy of the
rules of the bureau OF police and
should study them carefully, so that
none of the officers may plead ignor-
anoe OF the requirements of an oi,-
Ger.
II desire to call your attention to a
matter which / consider of great i'm
portance TO our department. When
an accident or a greater or lesser
crime is reported to an officer on n
beat as having been committed, It
should be promptly reported by the
patrolman on the beat to the lieuten-
ant in charge of his precinct, by the
the lieutenant to the captain or super
intendent, and by them to the city
detective, in order to place all of our
machinery in quick motion to ferret
out crime. / make this statement es-
pecially for the benefit of the newly
appointed officers.
II trust that harmony will ever pre-
vail in your ranks, for without har-
mony there can he no good results.
Let us hope that our meetings in the
that all such gatherings may prove
beneficial to the department of public
