WRITES OF NOBLE WORK.
Wn0snAs Auxiliary Hopss to
Do for Sailors.

Miss Helen Miller Gould has, in a
modest way, entered the literary field,
In the March number of Success there
is a brief article from her pen on a
subject known to be close to her heart,
THE Saving of the Soldier and the
Sailor In it she tells, in a simple,
practical way, of the work that the
women's auxiliary intends to do in the
new shore home for the jolly jack tar,
which is nearing completion just out
side Of the Brooklyn navy yard, and
into which Miss Gould has cheerfully
put about s4OC 900. She invites the CO.
operation Of patriotic American WON
en- in helping along the good work.
Miss Gould says:
Nowhere in the range of uplifting
activities does there exist a better field
for usefulness than in the improvement
Of the social surroundings of the en-.
listed men of the army and navy. This
is the semi-patriotic work in which
the ladies of the women's auxiliary OF
the international committee of the
Young Mems Christian association have
been engaged since $780,"

ONLY ONE CENSUS A
Oe~e~&or NepSlan Discovers One Case
OF Padding In Maryland aad
Orders q

So far as has been discovered,
there is only one instance in which
fraud was committed in taking the
census. This occurred in st. Marys
and Charles counties, Md. Here the
enumerator counted all the persons
who had died in the two counties dur
ing the last year. He did this after
consulting with some of the state
officials. The enumerator has come
to grief as a result of this fraud.
He is now under arrest, charged with
making false reports of the popula-
ton in the two counties named.
Director Merriam. who is deter
mined that the census for 1900 shall
be abs olutely correct so far as it is
in his power to make it, has ordered
a recount in the two counties. TWEEN
ty men from the census Office will be
sent into Maryland to make the re-
count.

sTEEL-LINED ROOMS FOR CAR
insure the safety of the Rus
stan Ruler.

The Cologne Koelnische volkszei-
tung prints a letter from st. Peters,
burg declaring that the police who
are intrusted with the safety of the
czar do not quite trust all the MEM
bers of the imperial household. The
mechanism attached to the doors of
his majesty's bedroom and study late
ly has been altered so that only two
or three persons know how to open
the doors from the outside. The study
is provided with five writing tables,
which the ear uses unfortunately,
so that nobody will know exactly in
what part of the room he is sitting.
The walls of the study and bedroom
have been lined with steel plates, and
also provided with several secret
drawers. The correspondent asserts
hat there is great socialist activity
in Warsaw. Many arrests have been
made, and the prisons are overflow
ing. Large quantities of revolution
airy pamphlets and proclamations have
been seized.

BARRED FROM THE NAILS.


1t may be of interest to the tenn
perance people Of the country to
know that Intoxicating liquors of all
kinds will be barred from the mails
in the future. For years the postal
regulations have prohibited the mail
ing of intoxicants or other liquids,
but this regulation has been violated.
In fact, the violation has been so fire.
quent of late that complaint was
made to the postmaster general. The
other day, therefore, he issued an or
der amending the postal laws so as
to provide that intoxicating liquors,
poisons, explosive or infiammable ar
~ticles, live or dead animals, insects,
and reptiles, guano, OF any other ar
ticlc exhaiing q bad odor must not
under any circumstance be admitted
to the mails. Samples of altar or

dent. v%inous, spirituous or malt, and
not liable to explosion or spontane-
GUS combustion, or ignition by shock
or jar. and not infammable, may be

Tourists TO the Yellowstone national
park next season will be treated to a
brand-new attraction in the shape of
a wonderful geyser. which, If the ae-
counts received are to be credited
in every particular, will rival in mag

about 200 feet Immediately south of the
famous Fountain geyser and at the
moment of discovery and for a long
time thereafter was sending O SOLID

celsior geyser, the largest and in some
respects the most wonderful geyser in
the park, which has not been in a
state of eruption for several years,
commenced to play on Washington's
birthday, February %, and continued
in full play for over five hours. The
volume of water sent out, which flows
into the Frehole river, so swelled the
water in that stream that it over
flowed its banks, the water of the river
becoming so hot from the geyser water
that fish in the stream for a distance
of about two miles below Excelsior

TERSE AND MISINTERPRETED.
Abbreviations in Te1egrams Cause
British Army Court Of
Inquiry.

An amusing story illustrating Brit
ish oficialism comes from South AZ
RIGA. The colonel of a pioneer regi-
ment, repairing the railroad after
one of Gen. De Vets many break
ages, discovered a fine empty house,
which he proceeded to occupy as
headquarters. When the news of the
colonePs comfortable quarters
reached Bloemfontein he received a
telegram which read as follows:
"G. 7. NJ. want house."
The colonel was unable to make
out what &c. T. NJ" meant, and ap-
piled to officers, who translated it as
general traffic manager
"All right" said the colonel. IF he
can use hieroglyphics, so can l." So
he wired back:
&c. It. NJ. can G. T. H."
Two days later he received q dis
patch from Bloemfontein ordering
him to attend a board Of inquiry. On
appearing in due course he was asked
what he meant by sending such an
insulting message to q superior Off
GER.
Insulting" repeated the colonel,
innocently, "it Vas nothing of the
kind"
"But what do you mean," demand
ed his superior, "by telling me / can
g. t. HIP"
ut was simply an abbreviation,"
replied the colonel. &C. T. M, (gen-
eral traffic manager) can G. I. H. (get

LOVE. HIS UNDOING.
New York Chiuaman Wins Bride
But Loses His Business.
Fair One In China Draws Hin Back
to Flowery Kingdom ana In HIS
Absence q Prosperous Dust
ness Becomes Bankrupt.

The first business failure has oc-
Cured in New York's Chinatown. The
old grocery house of the Wing Wo
Hing company has filed a petition in
bankruptcy, with liabilities of s7.46S,
snd assets of s2,e13. Many Chinese
merchants were caught" for various
small amounts in the financial crash of
this old house, which had been doing
business for nearly Is years.
If the head of the firm, Lee Young
Ling, had not loved a beautiful celes-
tial maiden in the distant howery prov
inee of Kong Tong the failure probably
would never have taken place. AT
east he thinks so. and declares that
while he was away wooing and mar
rying the girl of his choice in China
his partners injured the business.
Lee Lung Ling came here from China
nearly II years ago, leaving behind
him the beautiful Suey Sing. He
promised that he would return with q
fortune in ten years and claim her
hand. Just Is years from the day OF
his leave taking he returned to Kong
Tongand his fancee welcomed him with
open arms, and they were DOL mar
ried. to the joy of their parents and
friends. Before going away Ling had
taken into partnership with him his
manager. Lee Tan Ying and young
lum Que. his bookkeeper. They ran
the business while he was gone. just
before the Chinese New Year Ling
landed in New York and found that his
firm owed everyone from whom they
could get credit. Most of the credit.
ors were small Chinese merchants. but
a few of them were Americans. They
were ~clamoring for their money. Ling
was forced to tell the creditors that
the firm would have to 60 into bank
Iuptcy and be sold out for their ben
Gift.

EAGLES AS PROPERTY.
Ownership of Birds and Nests Re-
spected by Pueblo Indians.

Among the Pueblo Indians of New Mex
leo and Arizona there is n property right
in eagles. Each clan claims ownership in
several eagles nests which may or may
not be near the place where the clan
lives When the nests are distant from
the villages where the Indians claiming
them live, it has been found that the an
cestors of these Indians came in former
years from the localities where the nests
now are, and they point to the fact that
these nests are theirs us proof that they
also. by inheritance, own the land round
about them.
Driven into new locations by maraud
ing Navajoes and Utes, these Pueblo In
dians have steadily contracted their &C.
cupied territory, but they still visit the
old nests, as their forefathers visited
them before the white man came to Mex

leo. Some of the Pueblo 1ndians-the
Zunis. for instance-keep eagles in cages,
treating them MS domestic fowl, but most
of the tribes procure their eagles by TAX
ing the young from the ancestral nests.
These Indians keep turkeys also. but
neither turkeys nor eagles are Kept for
food. With the feathers of the birds the
Indian decorates himself and his prayer
sticks" on occasions of religious cere-
mony. The various tribes respect one an
others rights in certain nests and the
birds which are batched in them, and a
heavy punishment is provided for an In
dian killing an eagle not his own.
Sometimes the nests are so miles from
where the tribe lives, but investigation
always shows that the tribe lived once
where the nest Is. Generations without
number the eagle builds his nest in the
same spot and reaTs his young there. So
the title Of the pnehlos reaches hack into
the twilight of American history. Those
Pueblo Indians Ji'eak of their eagles as
they DO of their sheep :i,cir dogs or their
