TO STOCK coAL1NG STATION.
United Sfates Government EqulDs
Foreign Rendezvous for
Naval Ships.

The first United States scoalingstati0n
to be located on foreign soil has just
been completed at Pichalinqui, on the
west coast of Mexico, and the collier
Alexander is now taking on 5000 tons
of coal at Baltimore to stock this
latest acquisition of;thenavy. The sta
tion is ON California bay, at the ex-
treme end of the long peninsula which
juts down from California, and is
known as Lower California, although
it is an integral pant Of Mexico. Ad-
miral Bradford, chief of the naval bu-
reau of equipment, has long been seek
ing to develop this point for the use
of the navy.
A footing was secured there many
years ago through the assent of the
local authorities, hut it was desired
that the Mexican government should
give it's full authorization to the work
contemplated by the United States.
Through the state department ex-
tended negotiations were carried on
with Mexico, resulting finally in com
.plete authorization for the projected
station. The work has been in prog
'ress for some time, about $25 600 being
expended in coal warehouses, docks,
sslips, and in the most modern facili-
ties for loading coal upon ships of war
The capacity of the station is 5000
tons of coal A Mexican customs Of
1ficial will inspect the ships before they
enter the station.

Remarkable Quartette visit Paris

A remarkable quartette is at Paris,

dwarfs, have been allowed to accom-
pany the welded pair, who are giants.
They come from Berlin, and are do
ing Paris in great style, everywhere
surrounded by riotous crowd of Gu
rious and amazed people.
One of the giants, Oscar Billings,
was born in New York ia 1877, of Ba-
varian parentage. At ten, having lost
both father and mother, he was
brought back to the Fatherland, and
from 1896 to 1898 did military serv-
ice in the Bavarian guards. AT the end
of two years he was honorably dis
| charged as "being grown too big for
any size of accousrement provided by
the state"
| Oscar Billings is now feature in
the celebrated Panoptikum of Berlin.
He proclaims himself on the show bills
\ as the "tallest man on earth" He
very likely is. He measures seven feet
foud inches in his stockings, and
weighs $40 pounds. He is strong, in
perfect health, and last year he grew
taller by one inch.
| His newly welded wife, whom me
met in the museum where he. is him.
self displayed, is five years younge,
than Oscar. She also boasts of being
the talhest of her sex. At 10 she i.

She was born in Tonkin, being the
daughter of Chinese coolie and {

exhibited his great size 'ieight fee

Fl. Champion, of 1856 Thirteenth street,
Brooklyn, has been talking into a
phonograph at his home for 12 hours
"a day. His object is to get on record

RICE IN BRICK SIDEWALKS.
One OF the Unique Features of sAum-
way, n Little Town OF
'I1liR01s.

The little town of Shumway, in SheH
by county, Ill, just southeast of Pana-
is one of the most unique in the state
of illinois. It has one saloon. The
town is small, and the proprietor pays
500 annAal license for the exclusive
privilege of dispensing drinks
Nearly 'all this money is spent in
brick sidewalks, and, although there
are only about 15o residents in the
town, it has over two miles of brick
sidewalks. The mayor and aldermen
receive no salary. The town has no
police, as each alderman is a police
mun, and the saloon-keeper also has
police powers.
The city clerk receives $1s a year,
and he is the only officer who draws Il
salary. When there is any disturbance
the whdle town turns out and arrests
the guilty parties. When they are
fined the money goes to build more
walks.

FLAVOR OF wH1TEFlsH.
Declared 70 ne Deteriorating-Fish
Commission Declares lt Due to
Cold storage.

Considerable complaint has been
made recently of the impaired flavor
Of the whitefish furnished Chicago
and other western markets, for
which, up to the present time, there
seemed no explanation. 1t was said
at the fish commits sion by one of their
experts there could be no better ex-
pianation of this deterioration COM
planned of than such facts as that
which recently developed, that mil
lions of pounds of fish were thrown
upon the Chicago market which had
been kept in cold storage for several
years. The sdelicate flavor of the
whitefish that has made 1t the best
food fish of the great lakes is seri-
ously impaired by shipping or stor-
age, and to receive the full benefit OF
the delicate white meat 1t should be
eaten few hours after catching.
Shad possesses the same fieeting deli
cacy of flavor, while trout and wall
eyed pike stand shipment without in
jury.
In speaking Of the whitefish sup
piled the Chicago market, Mr.. Hugh
NJ. Smith, of the fish commission
said: "The common whitefish appears
to be rapidly decreasing in Lake
Michigan, and it's place Is being sup.
piled by other species of the same
family, more especially the long jaw
the blue An or black fin, the Menom'
inee, the herring, or cisco, the great
est increase in commercial impor
tance being in the latter. Fish lovers
have undoubtedly lingering remem
brance of the flavor OF the chub OF
hoys whitefish of Lake Michigan, OF
even of the black An whitefish, which
though smaller, also had fine, dell
cate favor, while these fish are 81
confused with other species in hand
ling that one seldom gets the genu
inc"
It is said at the commission tha
the work done by their department
in propagating and distributing tn
whitefish of the great lakes in tn
last wear was the most satisfactor
ever accomplished, resulting in lii

answer was a groan. She now saw
that his clothes were stained with

He was unconscious, and It was plain,
even to her inexperienced eye, that he
was dangerously hurt. Every feeling
of revenge left her, and there took its
place fear that he might die before
she could get help. She slipped her arm
underneath him; his limp body felt
like lead, but her strength surprised
her. She lifted him toward the cart
