PenitentiaI Pillar.

A superstitious man, Umataro Ma
gai living at Akasaka-Ku, in Japan,
lately built a stone pillar about twelve
feet high and six feet wide, costing
900 yen, in the premises OF the
Shounji temple, at Toxic, in memory
of the rats which were recently hunted
and destroyed wholesale throughout
the city in order to prevent the spread
ing of the pest He was said to have
been disturbed at night by horrible
nightmares, in which he was chased
and tortured by thousands of these
rodents. He attributed these night
mares to the spirits of the rats Hence
the pentential pillar.

One way to outwlt Gould.

When William r. Travers was in the
directorate of the New York Central
railroad Jay Gould was running the
Erie in opposition and his manage
ment of that system betrayed a con-
stant and intimate knowledge of what
was going on in the Centrals star
chamber. Commodore Vanderbilt was
naturally exasperated and one day
after expressing how helpless he found
himself to outwit his rival he turned
to Travers with the query: We'll,
Billy. how can we stop Gould from
getting knowledge of what we are do
ing?" "W-w-w-why," suggested the
genial wit, "w-w-why d-dont you
m-m-make him a d-director of
N-N-New York C-C-CenGral?"

entitled. To repair this oversight some
of the references to the day. its deeds
and its patrons that are to be found in

And here we have something from
the brave. valiant, gallant, scholarly
Sir Walter Raleigh, much misunder-
stood and unjustly prosecuted, whose
valuable intellectual life was prema-
turely ended by the headsman as sac
rifce to the politicians OF Queen Eliza
beth's and James is reign:
For | do remember a merrie jest
that was performed when that her ma
Elizabeth. by the grace of God Queen
of Great Britain and Ireland, was by
his grace the Earl of Leiscester, en-
tertained at his noble palace of Kenil-
worth with many days of feasting' and
wassail Amongst the floode of daintie
dishes, and the finest arte of the con-
fectioner and the baker, was pye
fashioned with create skille, the foun-
dation stone whereof was the lemon
brought from Stella and squeezed into
a rich costarde of mike, and sugar and
eggs. This being surfaced DER with a
browne compromising of sugar, spice
and the white of the egge, our Virgin
Queen was so bewitched with its COM
plection and flavoure, that she be-
slowed upon the cratic confectioner a
pension for his life. And she did eat
of his pyes all times of the day even
after she had betaken her self to her
couch for reste at nighte
But on the last nighte when there
was brought unto her one of these
pyes she tasting greedily as before,
spat it out vehemently, and did cry
loud and angrilee, BY Godde and his
saints | will have the heade of that
villein ere the ende of this accurst
hour
gustation as lemon costarde was but
yellow unbaked flour of the Indian
maize brought hither from Virginia.
And it lacked salt or sugar or any sea-
some whatsoever. This it was that
made her wrothe. For whereas the
royal palate all on tip-toe for the cos
tarde soft. found this base stuffe was
powder-drye, with no more SAVIOUR
than you will find in chalke. The pye
toppe was white of egge also, without
sweetness or spice, of sinamente or
nuttemeg. And the Holy Scriptures
themselves have taught us that there
is no taste in the white OF an egge.
And thus did her Most Christian
Highness suffer the pangs of pagan
Tantalus, which no Christian ought to
suffer. But the scurvy knave who thus
betricked her Sacred Majestic was
never uncovered. 1t was not the chief
cooke or the cunninge confectioner, for
they both were at their revels in the
Castel grounds. 1t was the First OF
April and the April Foole was at his
play Some sorry kitchen rascal was

Wilkesbarre, Dec. 11.-Three men
lost their lives and one was seriously
injured in No slope of the Kings
ton company, at Edwardsville, a
small mining town near here, this
evening The men who had 'ust fin
ished their shifts, were walking up
the slope and behind a train of
loaded cars. The slope runner de.
sired to shift the cars and he notified
the men to step aside. They did not
heed the warning, and, in shifting
the cars, a coupling broke and the
cars dashed down the steep incline
and, ploughing into the men hurled
them with great force against the
sides of the slope. The bodies of the
dead were horribly mangled.

between this city and Honolul Vice
President Ward in an address said:
You can form some opinion of the
extent of this great work when tell
you that the length of this cable will
be three and one-half times more
than any Atlantic cable When this
is completed our system will reach
from England and France to China,
three-fourths of the distance around

that we shall be able to beat Puck's
prophecy of girding the earth in 40
minutes, by sending a message from
San Francisco in one-fourth of that

Honolulu, touching midway at Guam,
to Manila, 5000 miles of which have
already been manufactured, will be
laid and in operation by the end of
June next. The whole length of the
line will be about 10000 miles.

steamers were taken outside the har-
Dor and at 2 o'clock this morning the
General Crespo, Tutmo and Margari-
ia were sunk.
The, Ossun was the only vessnl
spared, in view of the protest made
by the French charge, who notified
the commodore of the allied fleet that
the Ossun is the property of
Frenchman.
At 1890 last night 1870 German
sailors were landed and proceeded to
Cardonel, suburb of La Guayra, in
which is situated the residence of
German Consul Lentz, who, with his
family was escorted to La Guayra
an placed on board the warship Vim
the German sailors met a party of
the Venezuelan soldiers, but no col
lision took place. At o'clock this
morning a landing party of British
seamen went to the British consul
ate and conducted British Minister
Skunk, and family on board the Retri-
button.
The German and British residents
at La Guayra have all been arrested
with the exception of Messrs Field
wich, Prince and LIE Page, the En-
glish directors of the harbor corpora
ton, who barricaded themselves in
their houses and later were rescued
by the forces of the allied powers
and taken on board the Retribution.
The Englishmen's houses were sur
rounded by Venezuelan policemen,
but when party of 800 sailors was
landed this afternoon and marched
to their relief the policemen made no
resistance and the inmates were con-
Quoted to the Retribution without
trouble.
The British and German warships
in the meantime had cleared for ac-
ton.
No one here can explain the action
of the allied forces in taking action
without giving Venezuela time to re-
ply to their notes. The British tor
pedo boat destroyer Quail arrived
here this afternoon. The German
cruiser Panther left this morning in
the direction of Carupano, and the
German cruiser Falk has sailed for
Puerto Cabello on search for the
remainder of the Venezuelan fleet.
1t is believed that the cruiser Inde-
fatigable is on her way to the sea
port of Guanta, in the province of
Barcelona, where the Venezuelan
gunboat Rostuardo is now lying.

VIM. Cchroeder Narrowly Escapes
Death in a Snow Shed.
HoRsEMAN STRUCK BY ENGINE
While Driving Bunch of Cattle
Along the Railroad Track Near
BroWning-Companion Was Unin-
jured, But Both Horses Killed
Schroeder Lies at kaIispeIl Hos
pita Severely Wounded.

w. Schroeder the we'll known
butcher of this city, was struck by a
train near Browning yesterday, re-
ceiving injuries that it is feared may
result in his death. In company
with John Andrus he was bringing a
bunch of cattle to Browning, prepar-
atory to loading on cars for ship
ment to Kalispell. The snow is very
deep along the trails over which they
were travelling, and for convenience
the two men were using the railroad
track through the cuts and snow
sheds. While passing through one
of the latter, a short distance from
the station, an eastbound train en-
tered one end of the shed and was
ticed their great danger. Mr.. Schroe-
der was the first to see the approach
ing train and he shouted warning
to Andrus, who was a short distance
behind him. The two men jumped
from their horses, and Andrus sue
ceeded in getting clear of the track,
but his horse was struck and ground
to pieces under the wheels. Schroe-
der was not so fortunate. He sue
ceeded in dismount1ng but before he
could reach a place of safety the en-
gine struck him and his horse at the
same time. The animal was hit first
and thrown violently against Mr..
Schroeder, knocking him down This
was all that saved him from a horri-
BILE death, as it was, he suffered a
severe wound in the head, one leg
was broken at the ankle and his back
badly injured.
After the train had passed by An
drus succeeded in getting the injured
man to Browning, and he was then
brought to Kalispell last night and
taken to the hispital, where he is now
confined. Physicians were at once
summoned, and it was first thought
his case was hopeless, but his condi-
tion is much improved this morning
and he may recover.
Schroeder makes frequent trips to
| the east side to secure beef cattle
| for his Kalispell trade, and it was
for this purpose that he left for
| Browning Tuesday night. The cat.
| tie are there rounded up and taken
| to Browning and then placed on
cars for shipment to Kalispell. The
snow is several feet deep at that
place, and greatly hindered him in
his work. The railroad track through
the sheds and cuts is free from the
snow, rendering travel through them
easy. 1t was while taking advan
tage of this fact that the accident oc-
Cured. The deep snow and slight
curve in the track rendered it impos
sible to see the approaching train in
time to escape.
