A CHAT WITH MENELEK.
AbyssinIan Kings Impressions oi
the United States.

Oscar T. Crosby contributes TO the
April Century his Personal Impress
sions OF Menelek." Here is a resume
OF one Of his conversations with the
king of Abyssinia:
He has never been outside OF his own
Kingdom. has probably never seen
boat save one OF Marchand's, which
lies IN front OF the palace In sections,
as borne there by porters; has never
seen a wheeled vehicle save few
small mountain guns, speaks no Euro
mean language and must devote most
OF his time TO internal affairs. Such
an expansive body OF water as the
ocean, fancy he cannot conceive.
The rotundity OF the earth has been
explained to him, but not gTasped.
He marveled when ] told him OF the
difference In time between New York
and Adds Abeba. or New York he
seemed not TO have heard when refer
red 10 II as the big city OF my country
Pictures OF great commercial buildings
and views OF cities made. I thought
rather a faint impression on him. The
Brooklyn bridge was more effective,
and he maryeled at its height. though
iust how the interpreter translated fig-
ures and distances l do not know, since
In ordinary transactions with Abys-
sinians no unit OF length was discover
ca. The capitol at Washington, which
was described as corresponding to his
residence, made some impression on
hiQ when its size was explained.
When the books were put aside, n

examination aud then took its place In
a collection OF small arms which must
now be well nigh complete.

mills These l tried 10 identify TO

manufactured nearly all OF the cotton
goods which his subjects wore. a fact
that had learned with surprise aud
pleasure while on the coast In other

ANOTHER EARLY SETTLER GONE
PhiIo Rumsey. One of Omahn's Oldest
Citizens, Dies Mt Age OF
Ninety-One.

Philo Rumsey, who was one Of the early
residents Of Omaha and had reached the
age Of 81 years. died Tuesday morning at
Q o'clock at his home, 2i06 California
street, from erysipelas. Mr.. Rumsey had
been III only three days, and prior to that
time had been physically vigorous and In
full possession Of his mental faculties, In
spite OF his advanced age.
There survive him beside his wife, who
is now 81 years Of age, two children, James
Rumsey, Of this city, and Mrs. William
Loring Of Boston. An elder son, Henry
b. Rumsey, lieutenant commander in the
United States navy. lost his life in the
Richmond hotel fire at Buffalo In 1887
while trying to save the life Of a child.
Philo Rumsey was born in Rutland, VT,
March II, 1911, and was a descendant OF
one OF the Pilgrim families. His father
died during his infancy, and at that time
his mother removed to Piqus, o. At the
age Of 10 Philo removed to st. Louis, where
he learned the trade of a tailor, and three
years later he went to Fort Wayne. He
was married in 1899 to Rebecca Rockhill.
Mr.. Rumsey first came to Omaha in 1858
and became proprietor OF the Coszens hotel,
at the corner Of Ninth and Harvey streets.
Mr.. Rumsey removed to Santa Fe, N. NJ,
in 1881, and opened the Palace hotel. but
twelve years later returned to Omaha to
make his permanent home here.
The remains we're taken to Fort Wayne
last evening in charge Of Mrs. Loring and
James Rumsey.

oSTRANDER CASE IS MIXED
Brother and Sisters of Deceased Now
Make Appearance In
County Court.

Another ~fruitless effort was made in
county court yesterday to adjust the sf-
fairs Of the late w. B. Ostrander in a way
tina should be satisfactory to the various
persons claiming interest in the estate. The
court was ready to give the matter a hear
ing and 1t was intimated that the attorney
for Minnie Abshire, who claimed to have
been Mr.. ostrander's common law wife at
the time Of his death. and the attorney for
his son. w. e. Ostrander, had arranged a
satisfactory compromise, but before the
terms were made known the attorney for the
decased's brother, Stewart ostrander Of
Cedar Rapids, Ia. and sisters. Mrs. D. ].
Cummings OF the same city, and Mrs. S. w.
Reese Of Westheld, N. j., entered objection
to any arrangement that contemplated the
appointment Of the son as administrator
Of the estate and limited also Of attacking
the legitimacy Of both the wife's relation
and the sons. The attorney for the widow
urged that of the $40, 900 estate the Fiji
teenth street saloon is a very important part
and that each day 1t is allowed to remain
closed is a loss in revenue. Finally the
court put the hearing over until 2 o'clock
Thursday and in the meantime the attorney
for the absent brother and sisters is to COM
municate with their attorneys at Cedar
Rapids and ascertain what stand they de-
sire To take,
