ANDREE WAS MAssAcRED.
Aeronaut North Pole Seekers Landed
in British Northwest Territory.

Chicago. July Ga special to the
Record-Herald from Winnipeg says
Rev. David Ferlies. church of Eng
land clergyman, arrived from York
factory British Northwest territory,
ana brings authentic information of
the fate of Explorer Andree and his
companions
Two years ago. 1,SOO miles north of
York. a party of Esquimaux, under
the leadership of "Old Huskie," saw
the Andree balloon alight on n plain
OF snow in that vicinity, which is
about two miles north of Fort Chur-
chill. Three men emerged from the
balloon, and some of '-Old Huskie's"
people approached them out of curios-
ity.
AS they did so one of Andrees com
pnnions fired off gun. This Is
signal to uncivilized natives for battle.
1t was regarded as a challenge, and
almost instantly the natives fell upon
the three explorers and massacred
them. Everything pertaining to their
outfit was carried to the homes of the
natives, on the borders of the Arctic
region.
"Old IIuskie' himself gave this in
formation to Ralph Alstne, agent for
the Hudson Bay company, and the
story, after being investigated by DIR.
Ferries, was told by him to-day. He
says that there is little room for doubt,
as frequent reports have since come
of the strange instrument which the
north natives have in their possession,
the telescope being particularly de-
scribed.
The Hudson Bay Company has re-
Gently offered a reward for the recov-
cry of any portion of the outfit belong
ing to Andree. and though natives
have gone on the search for them, they
have never returned. believing, ms Rev.
DIR. Ferlies says, that they will in
some way be punished, for they now
understand that it was not an attack
upon them, but an accident by which
the gun WAS discharged that prccipi-
tated the massacre.

HE SCARED THEM TO DEATH
Maine Farmer Followed Instructions
of Game Commissioner.

OF 0ame commissioner,
George d. Bisbee, one of the lead
ing attorneys of the Pine Tree State,
tells this story apropos of the work
ings of the law for the protection of
the game in the forests of Maine.
The deer are protected for ten months.
and no provision has yet been made
for recompensing the farmers whose
peas, beans. sweet corn and clover
may be eaten by those same deer.
A farmer up in Carritunk Planta-
tion wrote to the commissioners of
Inland Fisheries and Game to inquire
what he might do to abate the nuis-
ance of deer who were consuming his
crops. 1t was not lawful to kill them
and they would jump any fence that
1t was practicable to build. The an
swer from the commission was: THE
only legal thing for you to do is to
scare the deer Off
The information didn't seem prom
Using as concerned the crops, but
some time afterward the commission
ers received a letter from the farmer
in which he conveyed the grim intelli-
gence:

SOME QUEER NEGRO TRAITS.
Noted by Traveller During Recent
Trip Through the South.

A great peculiarly of the black race
everywhere is its love of gossip and
its madness to spread news. You do
not have to advertise for a servant in
the South You mention that you need
one and servants begin to call and ap-
ply within an hour after you have ex-
pressed your wish. The news spreads
because no two negroes ever pass in
the streets without speaking to each
other. Even though they are total
strangers they invariably halt and gos-
sip. Everything that happens in
town over night is known in every
kitchen early in the morning. and
every servant burns to tell it to her
employers. A. fire, robbery,
quarrel between man and wife, case
of illness, the arrival of visitor. per-
haps the mere contents of letter CON
cerning matters unintelligible to the
servant who hears it read-all these
things fly from mouth to mouth and
kitchen to kitchen. You may watch
your kitchen and think that you have
made sure that no negro has called
upon your cook, or maids between
breakfast and lunch. and yet at lunch
of the place since breakfast.
1t is just the same in Africa There
they call the process the Kafllr tele-
graph" When | was there many

Cape Town, Kimberly and Port Eliza
beth day or even &c hours before the
news came by electric telegraph. The
negroes brought the news, and it was
considered sufficiently reliable to af-
feet the values of African securities.
The news was carried hundreds, even
a 1000 miles, by the Kaflirs. They
shouted it from man to man. they sig
nailed it from kopje to kopje and kopje
to welt, they ran 100 miles with it for
no pay. for the love of gossip. Sud
denly it was gossiped in the homes of
Cape Town, and on more than one oc-
casion Samuel ]. Pryor, now of the
Daily Express, got full days advan-
tage of his competitors by cabling this
KafIir gossip to London. In South
Africa it is taken for granted that the
negroes will know the news at least
as soon as any white man.-Julian

AGUINELDO RELEASED.
Is Afraid to Venture Out Without
American Protection.

Manila, July AS result of the
proclamation of amnesty July the
guard of American soldiers has been
withdrawn from the house where AS-
uinaldo lived in Manila, and Lieuten-
ant johnson, Aguinaldo's custodian.
brought the Filipino to-day to see Gen
eral Chaifee. 1t was the first meeting
of the American general and the leader
of the Filipino revolution. Lieutenant
William II. Mckinlay-of the Ninth cav
airy acted as Interpreter. ASuinaido
was told that he was free to go any
where he pleased and General Chatfee
asked him if he had any complaint to
make of American discourtesy or
harshness. Aguinaldo replied that lie
had no such complaint TO make. He
told General Chafrec that he was GO
ing to visit friends ut his home in Ca
vite, WHO. in Cavite province, and in
quired what protection the American
authorities would afford him. He
seemed to be afraid to venture out.
General Chaffee replied that Aguinaldo
would get the same protection rs any
other citizen.
The release of the former Filipino
leader has renewed speculation as to
possible vengeance upon him by friends
of Luna and his other enemies. Luna
was n Filipino leader whom Aguinaldo

NUMBER TWENTY SHOES.
They Will Fit Michigan Boy Who Is
Sixteen Years Old.

When Louis Merkanen buys n new
pair of shoes the shoemaker must

Houghton, Michigan. correspondent of
the Chicago Chronicle. There is Il dis
tinctiOn. Louis does not wear an ordi-
nary shoe. He wears quite an eXtraor-
dinary one, for in size it is No. 20
Louis is just sixteen years old. Not
withstanding his youthfulness, he is
seven feet tall and weighs $50 pounds.
He is the wonder of his community
for his parents are small. His mother
Is not over five feet tall, while his
father is medium sized.
Louis went to n local shoe dealer
yesterday and ordered new pair of
shoes and now the wielder of the awl
is busy building" a pair of lasts the
size of Louis feet The lad grows
three inches year on an average and
If he does not stop growlng-which is
unlikely-he will be eight feet and two
inches in height when he is twenty
years old. Two years ago he Wore Il
No. IL shoe. Last year when he was
confirmed at the Finnish church the
shoemaker built" pair, size No. is,
for that event. At this rate If his feet
continue to grow rs they have lie will
require size No. 2S when he Is twenty
years old. Louis had some difficulty
in entering the door of the shoe store,
for there was just Il fraction of an
inch to spare. but he made 1T all right.
However. Louis is good natured and
happy as most large people are, and
will go to work in the Boston mine in

WITHDRAWAL OF FRIARS.
Vatican Will Try to Effect Some Kind
of Comprosnise.

Rome. July THE Vatican is striv
ing to find compromise between sat
isfying the desires of Washington as
set forth by Judge William II. Taft,
governor of the Philippines, and reliev-
ing the holy see from direct respon-
sibility for the withdrawal of the frnrs
from the Philippine archipelago. Sev-
cral plans TO this end have been dis
cussed by the Vatican authorities. The
most acceptable of these is that the
generals of the four religious orders
concerned, having been Informed of
Washington's request, shall themselves
order the withdrawal of their depend
ents, who now number about 800. This
plan would necessitate Il letter from
the general of each order to Governor
Taft pledging the writer to this ac-
tion. or the insertion of Il clause in the
contract between Judge Taft and the
Vatican that steps to this end would
he taken Immediately by the generals
when they We're aware of the wishes
of the United States. The Vatican
would thus be under no odium, the
Pope merely accepting an accom-
pliShed fact.

day of Charles w. Thatcher an occa-
sion long to be remembered
In response to an invitation from his
father, Mr.. J. Newton Thatcher
about twenty of his friends, including
abortion Of the City Band, bore down
upon the hospitble Thatcher home,
near the. foot of North Mountain, last
night. All was quiet when the hun
grv host arrived. They were met by
an outpost stationed good distance
from the house, who received them
and escorted them quietly to the house.
Here the musicians assembled and
struck up lively march.
Mr. Thatcher was surprised to such
an extent that he was almost speech
less. Sitting at u table writing, he
was amazed to hear the notes from a
band break out upon the still noun
tain air. But heTsoon took in the sit
uation. After rendering several selec-
tions, the band and the other guests
were invited into the hous Q, where a
table laden with good things waited
them. Several entertaining musical
selections were rendered by different
members of the crowd, after which all
repaired to the dining room where an
hour was spent III disposing of the
good things which made the large ia
BILE fairly groan under the weight. The
menu was an elaborate one, but the
one thing on it which captured the
taste of those seated around the festive
board was Mr.. Thatcher's good old
home madegcountry ham about which
the city-cured' ham eaters never ceased
talking.
Since Mr. Thatchers return from
New Zealand in 1898 he has been dis
abled, but the tie of friendship be-
tween him and his associates of for
mer DAYS still remains as strong as
when he was active among them. He
