BOER IN A BOX.
Attempted Escape OF Prisoner of


Attempted Escape OF a Prisoner of
War from st. Helena
A most remarkable story has been
furnished to an Express representative
by the second officer of the r. nj. 5.
Goth, which has just arrived from the
Cape.
On the Goth's arrival on Christmas
morning at Ascension island, on the
homeward voyage. Boer command
ant was discovered on board in a large
wooden case forming part of the cargo.
The consignment had been receiv
ed on board the St. Helena. and ship
ped as a box of Boer curios for Eng
land The measurements of the case
We're: Length, feet. 3 inches:
breadth, . feet inches, and height, .
feet.
When the box was opened the con-
tents proved to be live Boer COM
mandant, who gave his name as
Smonerburg, and owned that he was
a prisoner of war on parole.
Standing over six feet in height he
was helped out of his cramped room"
in weak and exhausted state. He
had there been cribbed cabined and
confined for five days.
Enough food was stored to last him
for his voyage to England but in be-
ing slowed away in the hold his water
bottles had been broken.
He was eventually landed at Ascen-
sion under an escort, to await reship
ping on man-ofwar for ST. Helena,
where he will join his brother Beers in
captivity.
The box in which the prisoner was
found was a most clever contrivance,
apparently of Boer carpentership, with
sliding panels. 1t contained clothing
biscuis, ported meats. books and
candle and matches.

1t is not quite clear as to what is
the proper designation of the royal
house OF which Edward VII of Eng
land is the head. Queen Victoria was
the last of the house of Hanover BY
her marriage to the prince consort
King Edward VII became on his &C
cession head of the house of Saxe-Co-
burg. In reply to this it is pointed
out that as the son Of Queen Victoria
from whom he iIherits the crown, his
majesty remains head of the house of
Hanover. Queen Victoria was OF the
latter house through the male life, as
the daughter of a son of George III.
VINO was, of course, of Hanover. 1t
has yeJ to be decided whether King
Edward belongs to the house of his
father or his mother. In reality the
king unites the houses Of Hanover and
SaXe-Coburg.

NEGRO CLIFF DWELLER.
Has . secret Coal Mine Near h

liza. secret Coal Mine Near his
Cabin.
High up in the rugged cliffs of Dix
river. q few miles from Burgin, KY,
there is small cabin wedged in be-
tween the Jagged lodges of rock which
hang out over that picturesque and ro-
mantle stream in a manner that would
suggest aerial navigation to reach it.
The sole occupant OF this peculiarly
situated nest" is an old colored man,
who, it is believed. possesses the secret
knowledge of the whereabouts of a
rich coal mine situated somewhere
among the cliffs which tower for more
than 300 feet above the river. Moth
ing can induce the old darkey to re.
veal his secret and 1t will likely die
with him.
Little attention was paid to the cliff
dweller" until a few years ago, when
some one observed that he used coal
for fuel both summer and winter.
This. with the fact that there was no
coal yard within miles of him, while
abundance OF wood lay all about his
cabin, aroused the curiosity OF the PEG.

ed himself upto safe height,the three
enraged bucks meanwhile prancing
around the tree. For an hour he wes
in this awful position, calling frantic
ally for help. His hands became thor
oughly benumbed with cold. Finally
John Bitner, neighbor, and several
others came along, and drove the deer

they decided to see where he procured
his fuel. a careful watch for several
nights failed to reveal anything of the
old fellow. but the watchers were final
iy rewarded one night by seeing him
come in begrimed with coal dust and
carrying sack of coal. Entreaties.
threats and offers of money would not
induce the old darkey to tell one iota
about the matter, and as nothing short
of mountain goat could scale the
rugged heights of the cliffs, which ex-
tend for many miles. nothing more has
been learned about the matter. 1t was
rumored that the mine was entered
through the huge cave in the cliffs
which the Dog Eater" that made
this country howl with fear a few
years ago, made it's home, but as no
one would dare enter this place it was
not verified. So careful is the old
cliff dwel1er" with his secret that he
rarely ever ventures any farther from
the house than is absolutely necessary
in obtaining the necessaries of life.

BIRDS FROZEN TO DEATH.
Remarkable Case of Mudhens Tina,
Became Embedded In Ice.

Remarkable Case OF Mudhens That
Became Embedded In Ice.
A very singular incident was noted
in the neigh borhood of Loomis, Wash.
as result of the recent and sud
den cold snap. Some four miles above
Loomis is a large beautiful mountain
lake and among the native fowl that
collect on the lake are many mudhens,
homely and useless member of the
web-foot family SO common all over
the country as to be well-known 70
every sportsman. The nature of the
bird when flushed is to fly, or flop,
along the surface of the water.
For the first time that it has ever
been noticed the mudhens have re-
NAMED upon the lake this late in the
season. Last week the cold weather
was lnaugurated with a stiff and bit
ter gale, churning the lake into many
waves. AS the birds flew along the
surface striking the water the ice
formed upon them SO rapidly that they
lost the power of locomotion and 200
or 300 them were caught in the rapidly
forming Ice and frozen to death. This
may not be an uncommon circum-
stance, says a LOOMS special to the
Seattle Times, but 1t is the first time
1t has ever been seen by the residents
of this locality

that he carries full line of postage

One enterprising druggist on the

He keeps the stamps in compartments
which have been favored in various
ways, and when a customer asks for
a stamp he inquiries: what flavor will
you have: lemon, vanilla, wintergreen
or peppermint" The customer usual

that the stamps are really favored,
