SAYINGS and DO|NGS
Henry Clay EJdnS.

Henry Clay Evans went to the South
from Pennsylvania several years ago
and grew quite popular in Tennessee,
the state of his adoption. He has a
strong political following and MS
friends have always claimed that he
was elected when he ran for governor,
but was counted out. Mr.. Evans has
a good war record. He is about 81
years old and one of the live, pushing
men OF Dixie. So well was he thought
of by all classes of persons in Chatta-
nooga that he was twice elected mayor
of that town. In 1890 when he ran for
Congress he had a strong Democrat
for an opponent, but although it was
a close race Mr.. Evans was elected by
1854 votes to his opponents 1888.

A New York professor has just re-
turned home after spending the win
ter in exploring the mountains near
Buena Vista and investigating the
habits OF species OF monster spiders
found in the middle Cottonwood pass.
Little definite is known of these spi-
ders, but around them has been gath
cred a mass of Indian legend and
prospectors' yarns that rival those Of
Munchausen.
Many years ago these spiders lived
In q cave easily reached by tourists. 1t
was In a valley two miles northeast
from Harvard City, then thriving
mining camp eight miles west Of
Huena Vista. In 1880 man named
6hultz cut his way into the spiders
don. He did not return, and week
later searching party found his body
partly buried in the spiders cave un-
der mass of fallen rock AS 1t would
have required timbering at an expense
OF several hundred dollars to recover
the body. and as the man had no
known relatives it was left undis-
turbed. The spiders have found an
other home farther back in the noun
tains Some of the tales told about
these spiders are given In an old let
ter which has just been found in
Buena Vista. It says:
A short distance out Of Euena Wis
"a there is cave swarming with sp
ders OF immense size, some OF them
having legs four inches in length and
bodies as large as that of canary
bird. The cave was discovered in 1868
and was often visited by pioneers on
their way to California. who obtained
their webs for use in the place Of
thread. Early and late the cave re-
sounds with buzzing sound emitted
BY the spiders as they weave theil

Qualifications Of Sea Captains.

On some of the foreign steamship
lines the captains are naval officers,
and, in case Of war, would retain their
commands On the German steamers the
officers must first serve year or so
in the naval reserve. On the French
line each member OF the crew must
serve a time on vessel of war On the
majority of ships, however, the officers
are men OF the sea, who have fought
their way up, step by step. entirely by
merit, and not at all by favor. On the
American line, even after a man has
reached the rank OF captain, he must
pass a rigid examination every five
years.-Collier's Weekly.

Last year the United States sent
over $31 600, 900 worth Of goods into
Mexico. This was nearly $1,000, 900
more than the year before. The in

large expectations of machinery and
electrical supplies. Mexico buys a
good deal Of her coal from this coun-

and one Of the best features Of the
concert was the. playing of Miss
Josephine Sullivan, the young Irish
harpist, who has rare command of
that beautiful instrument. Her Irish
melodies were played with a fine
touch and exquisite expression" For
Canada, the following from the Otta-
wa Journal is representative: Miss
Josephine Sullivan won n storm Of
applause by her brilliant and beautiful
rendering of Thomas 'Reverie.' She
showed herself a complete mistress Of
her instrument and her facility of ex-
ecution is no less marked than the
delicacy and refinement of her STYLE"
From the multitude of commendatory
notices Miss Sullivan has received
wherever she has appeared in the
United States we can only give few
extracts. At Saratoga, N. Y: while
all the numbers contributed their por-
ton to the artistic, success of the
whole. the stellar attraction was Miss
Josephine Sullivan, one of the few
harp soloists in this country. The
liquid sweetness of the notes her fling
ers pick from the strings could not be
expressed any better than in the
series of familiar Irish melodies which
closed the programme" The Detroit
Free Press had this to say: Miss
Josephine Sullivan must have been
pleased with the reception she receiv-
ed at the Detroit Opera House last
night Gil the occasion of her first ap-
pearance in this city. Her past laur-
els must indeed have been fairly won,
her playing last night typifying her as
an artist of exceptional ability. The
music Of the harp is beautiful; Miss
Sullivan has mastered it's difficulties,
and the delicate touch with which she
played the old-time melodies was
something delightful" The Spy (lnu-
sicale), Worcester, Mass, ends a long
critical notice by this summing up:
Hers is an essentially musical nature
and she plays to make music-not to
make show" Her Washington ID. c.
critic concludes as follows: "There can
be no doubt of Miss Sullivan's high
position as an artist. Versatility
would be the wrong word to apply to
her. Musical sympathy is the better
phrase" And the Washington Post,
