TWAIN BARS LAND TRAVEL
The Noted Humorous Writer SayA He
Has Taken Last Journey

Judge Adair Wilson, OF the state court
Of appeals. at Denver, Col, has received
an invitation from his old friend Mark
Twain" to visit him in New York city.

noted writer in his letter to the Col

again to attempt long journey on

land journeys are over. Come and let

Judge Wilson and Mark Twain
were for years prominently identified
with Nevada City. New. They were
city editors Of rival newspapers and
il was while working on the newspa-
per as city editor and reporter COM
bined that Twain" gathered together
the inimitable stories of life in a mining
camp OF the far west that helped to
make his name known throughout the
world.

civil war, when gold was selling at 200

WON BY PHONOGRApH
Sultan of Sulu Signs Treaty After
Hearing Talking Machine.
Under the Inhueace of the Weird and
Mysterious Voice He Finally Con.
sents to Placing the Desired
Signature to Document.

According to Capt. S. f. Smiley, of
the Fifteenth United States infantry,
who passed through Chicago the other
day on his way to Washington, the
phonograph played an important part
in the negotiations which preceded the
signing of treaty between this coun-
try and the sultan of the Sulu nrchi-
pelago.
Capt Smiley accompanied Gen. Bates
on the tour of the islands under the
jurisdiction Of the sultan.
when we made the trip" said
Capt. Smiley, ut happened that we
had a phonograph along. When we
reached the home of the sultan we in
vited him to come aboard He ac-
cepted the invitation. and after every
body was on deck, Gen. Bates stated
the object of the conference and
formal negotiations were begun. We
succeeded in making the sultan un-
derstand our mission in a measure,
but he seemed suspicious, and acted
as il he wanted us to do something to
convince him of our power.
after the treaty had been drafted
we tried all kinds of schemes to get
the sultan to sign it. Finally some
body thought OF the phonograph and
it was brought on deck In moment
all thought of diplomatic matters
were forgotten, while the strains OF
ragtime ditties rolled out. The music
caused panic among the sultan's
party, who threw themselves on the
deck and prayed loudly. The sultan
made careful examination OF the in
strument. Finally, he was allowed to
talk into it in his native tongue. and
his surprise was even more pro-
nounced when moment later the
words he had spoken were repeated.
He signed the treaty before we left,
and we had no end of amusement later
exhibiting the machine with the sui
tan's speech to the different govern
ors. They recognized his voice in an
instant"

WOLVES NEAR MINNEAPOLIS.

suRerinE from the Beats
Raids.

Wolves in great numbers infes' the
vicinity OF Minneapolis, and the farm
ers OF the nearby counties are in
state bordering on panic, for their live
stock is constantly being attacked by
the brutes. This condition of affairs
is particularly true as applying to
Anoka county, adjoining Hennepin
county. where the prairie wolves are
reported as being more numerous
than ever before. Daily complaints are
made that the animals have worked
destruction in q sheep fold or hen
roost. and the farmers are sending
out invitations for n grand hunt, by
means of which it is hoped TO exter-
minat, or drive out the animals.
DozensNof the animals have already
been killed by hunters during the
present Writer. but they seem 10 con-
stantly increase in numbers. and the
trouble is becoming so serious that
there is talk of appealing TO the state
for further Aid, in addition to the
bounty tina, is now paid. Even on the
outskirts OF Minneapolis the weird
howling of the wolves can be heard
any night.

A HOLIDAY FREAK.
Biological Students Prepare Unique
Surprise for Teachers.
Christmas Tree Trimmed with Long
Strings Of Vertebrae, Crabs, Bugs,
Worms and Beetles aad other
HOrrid Things.

In accordance with an old custom,
the students in the University OF
Pennsylvania biological school at
Philadelphia presented Christmas
tree the other day to their instructors.
In its way it was wonderful to behold.
Long strings of vertebrae, arranged
from an evolutionary standpoint,
formed part of the decorations.
Then, on the branches were worms.
crabs. bugs and beetles, while various
kinds of fish hung near worms, to IL
lustrate the inclination Of one for the
other. Twining in and out among the
branches were specimens of reptiles,
and near them were birds nests full
OF eggs and with the mother birds
guarding them. The mammals were
chiefly represented by stuffed mon
keys.
Around the base Of the tree were
jawbones, old teeth, skulls and pile
of carpal and tarsal bones. Animal
specimens in alcohol were so placed as
to form n background for collection
of chickens. pigs and cats. Eggs OF
various ages filed in the interstices.
and in addition there were various
forms Of fungi, while green mold. blue
mold and slime appeared everywhere
on old boots, green cheese and pieces
OF rotten logs. Men and women alike
marveled as they looked at this fam
GUS biological arrangement, while the
Young women and men of the biolog-
ical school wondered at their own
greatness.
And the gifts for the faculty!
DR.. Montgomery, soon to wed, got
a cook book and small wooden bride
and bridegroom; DR.. John Macfarlane
received toy Scotchman playing

A NEW MINERAL.
Which Gives OF . PhosphoP-
esoent Glow.

George F. Ayres, a well-known min
er of Boise, Idaho, has unearthed a
mineral substance that has illuminat-
ing power which can be found 300
feet from the surface. He had been
running a cross cut tunnel to tap his
ledge, and ran across a deposit that
gave off enough light SO he could pro-
ceed without the aid of his candle.
He brought some pieces to the surface
and experimental with them in his
cabin that night, but they gave only
a phosphorescent gleam. In the earth,
however. the light was almost bright.
He impaired the information to an
assayer. who has been able to repro
duce the atmosphere fitions in
water that prevail where thepineral
is found, and lighted room h it.
He has several fruit jars psrtly filled
with the mineral, AhiSh Is covered
with fluid preparation. While it will
not supplant other means of ilumina
tion in large places, it can be used in
thousands Of mining camps, wherS
coal oil is expensive and electricity
and gas unobtainable.

QUEER PENSIONS GRANTED.
Ensland's Roll Contains Some Oddi-
ties Which Would be Dimcult
tO Match

"Once paid, always paid" is the har.
py condition of thousands of govern
ment employees. Hundreds of thou
sands of pounds are paid from the pub
lic purse every year to people who do
nothing at all for it, says the London
Express.
They may have sat on government
stools years and years ago; they may
have cooked prison food at Dartmoor:
they may have been judges or chap
lains in some little corner of the en-
pire, where they are no longer wanted.
They may have been housekeepers,
laundresses, jailers, laborers, minis
ters, governors, consuls. It matters
not. Our generous government COM
pensates them all.
1t gives us very kindly feeling to-
ward our government system to re-
member that the crown is still paying
about f100 n year TO laundresses and
housekeepers who lost their washing
and housekeeping through the re-
moval of the law courts from Westmin-
ster hall 20 years ago.
There is field laborer somewhere
who has received 12h guineas a year
for quarter OF century because the
official surveyors of the United King
dom had nothing more for him to do.
Even the house of lords abolishes
something sometimes, and II years
ago it made up its mind to n really big
effort and abolished the housekeeper
of its crown Office, who has received
Ella year ever since.
And the queens sweep, too, whose
Office was demolished to make way for
the parliament street Improvements,
was given the handsome sum Of $50
in spite of the fact that he may still go
on sweeping the chimney at Bucking-
ham palace and Windsor castle, as his
family has done for ~ centuries.
The abolition of consulships. chap
laincies and judgeships abroad during
the las, 80 years is still costing the
treasury several thousands year in
compensation, and it is surprising to
find that the public purse is still feel
ing the strain caused upon il by the
changes consequent upon the setting
up OF the divorce court in the eos.
The courts of justice, where changes
have been frequent, pay good deal
more than 100000 year to men who
have been thrown idle by changes in
the administration of justice. The
chancery division, for example, has for
several years past sent check for 5j
to an old man who. through the opera
tion of some new act, was deprived of
the privilege Of selling forms at the
court.
There are on the compensation list
OF the same court a preacher a rolls"
receiving G 100 year, though he never
breaches a sermon; housekeeper who
has not kept house for II years. but re-
ceives f25 year, and caretaker,
who draws ten pound Bank of Eng
land note for annually taking care
of nothing
