Ostrich Farm for Monaco

The prince of Monaco has long be-
lieyed that he could duplicate the sue
cess of the California ostrich farms
in the climate of his principality. Aft
Ier receiving reports from the agents
he sent to California to investigate,
he has decided to breed ostriches on
a large scale. Some birds will be
brought from America, others from
South Africa.

why 1t Didn't Pan ont.

It seems that the Pan-American
congress didn't pan out, owing to the
fact that each of the parties to it
wanted the other fellows to make all
the concessions. The delegates, re-
marks the Chicago Record-Herald,
must have insisted on discussing
things first and having the cham
payne brought in afterWard.

UNIVERSAL POSTAL UNION.

HORSES LIFTED OUT OF HOLE.
Derrick and Trolley Cable Used to
Rescue Two Usfortunate.
Euuines at New York,

A trolley car bunted team of gray
horses into the 40-foot deep tunnel eX-
cavation in Fourth avenue. New York
city, the other afternoon and trolley
derrick lifted them out and ferried
them like buckets of earth through the
air to a safe landing on the surface.
This feat was performed between
Eleventh and Twelfth streets. The
horses were crowded into the tunnel
by street car. Whenit was seen they
were alive horse ambulance with
sings, ropes and bandages was sent
for. When the horse ambulance got
there the tunnel engineer asked for
sling. This is stretcher to carry
horses. One of the big gray horses
was strapped in the sling and the tun-
mel engineer rugged up his trolley der
rick.
The chain usually attached to the
dredging bucket was hitched to the
sling with the horse in it. Engineer
Seaman signaled to the man at the
hoisting engine. The engine puffed,
and up came the horse. They hoisted
him up out of the hole and then ten
feet above the ground and slid him
down the trolley cable like dredge-
ing bucket. The same was done with
the second horse to the delight and
amusement of the big crowd which
gathered.

ostrich Fights with Kceper.

There was an exciting time at the
ZOO" at Cincinnati the other after
noon when Henry Thompson, n keep
er, attempted to clean out the win
ter quarters of the big male ostrich,
preparatory to moving him to his
summer pen.
Thompson entered the case, care
fully closing the door behind him.
With hiss like steam exhaust the
ostrich rushed at the keeper, kicking
viciously. Thompson backed into a
corner and fought the big bird with
"A shovel. The birds legs have suffi-
cient strength to kill horse, and
several times they came very near to
the keeper in vicious thrusts.
Thompson thrust the shovel blade
against the birds long neck and kept
it at distance, all the while Justify
yelling for help. A tarpaulin was
thrown over the immense fowl finally
and Thompson was dragged out of
the cage completely exhausted.

CUBA'S TRADE.
Imports and Exports of the Island
show "a Substantial Increase
Over Last Year.

A comparative statement by the di-
vision of iusular affairs, war depart
mcnt, shows that the total value of
merchandise imported into Cuba dur
ing the first ten months of 1900 was
$55, ,109, and for the same period
of 1899, $54, 4,325,732, an increase of $685.

showed an increase. The figures for
the period stated of 1899 were $40 $685.
63s, while for 1900 they were Sal 49,
055, or an increase of $546,317.
Cuba's trade with the United States
shows a decrease of $4s7,456 in inn
ports and $6,43S, cor in exports. The
marked decrease in the value of eX-
ports to the United States and an APP
parently large increase in the eNporta-
tions of European countries, is eX-
planned by the war department in part
by the fact that in the early period
of 1899 many shipments of tobacco
for Europe were consigned to New
York for reeNportation, their final
destination not being reported.
Hence the United States in that year
received credit for a greater amount
of this commerce than ii was entitled
to under the present arrangement for
crediting export trade to the country
of its final destna ton.

UNITED STATES STEAM COAL.
Taking the Place of the Welsh Prod.
uct az Fuel for the NnVies
in the East.

There can be no doubt that the
United States steam coal soon will
take the place of the Welsh product to
large extent as the fuel for the
navieS in the east, according to a re-
port of the British consul at Nagasaki,
an extract of which has been trans
mitted to the state department by
United States Consul Lyman al Hiogo.
This American coal, according to the
British consu'S report, at first was re-
ceiyed with disfayor in Japan, but
upon trial proved cminently satisfac-
tory, and aa it is only about two
thirds Of the price of Cardiff coal, and

suner from Pest of oueer FIics.

A plague of small black flies has set
tied upon Stanley, n. V, and it's vicin-

and animals, especially horses. They
get into the eyes and ears of horses,
cut the tender cuticle until the blood
flows and the animals are nearly fran

into the village the other day and tied
his team in front of the blacksmith
shop. The horses were attacked by
the flies and ran away. William
Broughton had similar experience

and villagers are covering their

MAILs BAR LreHTNINc Bues.
BOX Containing Two Cocoyns from
southern Mexico Held by Font-
master Coyne mt Chicago.

Live bugs, reptiles and animals are
barred from the United States mails,
but in particular this ban is directed
against "firebugs." The latest en-
forcement of this rule followed a
somewhat amusing incident at the
post Office. A small cardboard box
was received in the mails at Chicago
a few days ago. The side was pune
tured with numerous small holes, and
through these watchful clerk de-
tected soft, phosphorescent light
Visions of a dynamite stick passed
through the clerks mind, and, in fear
of having his head blown off, he car
ried the box with care to the superin-
tendent of the city division.
The package was turned over to a
young woman clerk, who bravely
pulled off the string and took off
the outer covering of the box. When
two black bugs fell in her lap there
was scream and fight. Then it was
seen that each of the bugs had two
glowing spots on its head. A bril-
liant light shone from each of these,
dying out at intervals. The addressee
was notified that the box was unmaI-
able and he would have to call for the
bugs. 1t was learned that he was
professor living at Prairie du Chien,
Wis.
He wrote Postmaster Coyne that
the so-called "lightning bugs" are
noneNplosive and perfectly harmless;
that they are natives of the southern
part of Mexico and are of the genus
cocuyas." Mr.. Coyne too, the pro-
fessor's word for this, but he said it
was enough for him that the bugs
were alive and carried fire. They
were marked 'unmailable" and held

RECALLS ROMANTIC MARRIAGE
appointment by Germnny of Herr
Won BrucninE 20 a Diplomatic
Post in Morocco.

Private advices have just reached
Washington that Herr Adolf Won
Bruening, formerly an attache of the
German embassy, has been assigned
to the German diplomatic establish
ment at Tangiers, Morocco, as first
secretary. 1t will be remembered
that Herr Won Bruening's engagement
to Mrs. Gordon Mckay, rich and
beautiful divorced woman of Wash
ington, was believed to have caused
his recall, after which he was as
signed to position at Constantine
pie.
Before assuming his duties at Con-
stantinoplc Won Bruening was grant
ed leave of absence, during which
he returned to Washington and mar
ried Mrs McKay. Whether he over
staid his leave or not was never
learned, but when he returned to
Cons stant.norlc he was informed that
his post had been filed. No influence
could be brought 10 bear that would
bring about his reinstatement.
From that time until lately Won
Bruening was denied diplomatic po-
sition.
At the time of the wedding the
German ambassador gained the CON
sent of the emperor to he present
at the weddinr. and he, with all of
the other diplomats stationed at
Washington, participated, making it
a brilliant event. However, when the
count and countess returned to Wash
ington for prolonged visit last win
ter no attention was given them by
the German ambassador, and their
stay was remarkably quiet one.
Mrs. Won l'ruening before her mar
ringe to Gordon Mckay was Marian
Treat, of Boston, and when divorced
from Mr.. Mckay an alimony of over
100000 year was allowed her. When
she married Won Bruening her di-
vorced husband presented her with
an extra 100000 as wedding gift.
Herr Won Bruening is wealthy in
his own right. his mother having
large interests in the salt mines of
Silesia and the great shipping inter
ests of Hamburg. Herr Won Bruening
will Immediately proceed to his post
of duty in Morocco.

mark has come to be recognized as

the purpose for which the article is
intended, according to very compre-
hensive report concerning American
manufactured articles in Germany
furnished the state department by
Consul General Frank Mason, at Ber-
lin. The Germans. he says, do not
hesitate to buy our products when
convinced of their superiority over
the home make, though this is often
accompanied by reproaches from the
German trade as to their lack of pa
triotism. Especially marked has
been the German appreciation of
American machinery and tools, i'm
ports of which last year were many
times in excess of those from Great
Britain and France.

HAs Appeared An the
neaNens.

We wonder IL any person in the
world has been frightened by the APP
pearance and disappearance of the
new star in Perseus, OF which astron-
omers have recently made so much.
Somebody ought 10 have been, says
the London Spectator. The new light
probably appeared because sun had
exploded, or because two suns had col
lided, evolving temporarily an almost
inconceiyable quantity of flame. II a
distant sun could explode, SO could our
sun, and ii two suns could collide, some
sun of which we know nothing may
be rushing at a pace which the mind
does not grasp, though the brain can
calculate il, toward our own. There
should be something alarming TO the
imaginative in that idea, but, so far
as we know, nobody has been alarmed.
The catastrophe in Perseus, whatever
it's cause. must have occurred so years
ago 10 give the light time 10 get here,
and catastrophes so inconceivably dis
tant are outside the range even of the
Imagination. We read Of them as we
read of quintillions, grasping the
words, but not the thoughts they are
intended TO convey. The mass of man
kind, too, are protected against as
Economical alarms, not only by their
ignorance, but by two very steady be-
liefs. One, which is not quite reason
able, is that God. though He allows
railway collisions, will never allow
anything so big as an astronomical
catastrophe--as II there could be
greatness or littleness in the eyes of
the Infinite--and the other, which is
reasonable enough, is that if an astro-
nomical catastrophe affected sentient
beings AT all, il must destroy all of
them within its range utterly and at
