sale of a number Of horses, but the
sale was disapproved for the reason
that a better offer was received the
following day. In the meantime the
first party had obtained possession
of one Of the horses and refused to
surrender it. An action in r~eplevin

order from the referee. The matter
was tried a day or two ago and the
justice ruled that the sale held and re-
fused to grant an order Of restoration.

SUSPECTED DOODLE.
LII Hung Chang Did Not Give Credit
to an Official Working for
Nothing.

When Mr.. Ure was lord provost of
Glasgow, Scotland, Lii Hung Chang
was on his tour of the world. The
great Chinese statesman was the
guest of the Scottish metropolis and
was taken for a sail down the Clyde,
so that he might see the shipping and
The docks of that famous water
way. 1t fell to Mr.. Urc as the dep
uty chairman of the Clyde harbor
trust to conduct the illustrious stran-
ger and show him all the works of the
trust, and the works are many, for
the old saying is true enough, '"The
Clyde has made Glasgow and Glas-
gov has made the Clyde" :
"How much," asked Ii, "do you get
for managing all this?"
He was told in reply that there was
no salary and that the craftsmanship
was a position of much honor and
dignity. An incredulous look passed
over the oriental's face and his keen
eye fastened on a magnificent dia-
mond pin Mr.. IRE was wearing. Ad-
~vancing toward that gentleman, he
put his finger on it with a look of
triumph: where, then, did you get
that?"

THE PRESIDENT AT ST. LOUIS
The Chief Executfv and Twenty
Governors of States to Assemble
Mt the Worlds Fair Oct. l..

Worlds Fair, ST. Louis, Sept. s.
The arrangement of President Roose-
velt's trip to st. Louis, on the occa-
sion of the allotment of sites for state
buildings, provides for his arrival in
the city on October l. He will visit
the Worlds fair grounds to attend
the ceremonies in the afternoon of
the LIST and will remain over night
in the city, leaving on the I'd. Thirty
two states and territories will be
represented, probably twenty of them
by their governors and Worlds fair
commissions, the others by their COM
missions. Several of the governors
will be accompanied by their stats.
A vast assemblage of the people of
many states is expected on this occa-
sion, as the "a railway systems which
have their terminals here have an
nounced excursion rates from every
direction. An attractive programme
of ceremonies is being formulated,
and the three days will be given up
to the entertainment of visitors and
a general jollification.

THE BROOKLYN A HoODoO.
Fourth One-PrObnbly Damaged
to the Extent of $4,000.

Washington, Sept. 5.-Ordcrs were
sent forward to the Brooklyn to pro-
coed to the New York navy yard,
where the extent of the damage could
be ascertained definitely. Without a
better defined idea of the character
OF the injuries. naval officials were not
prepared to give an estimate of the
time during which the Brooklyn must
be laid up, or of the cost of repairs,
but 1t was thought that she would be
in dock anywhere from three weeks
to two months, and that the cost of
the accident probably would total up
wards of $4,000.
The bay in which the Brooklyn
struck was charted, not by the laval
photographic Office, but by the coast
and geodetic survey.
The big cruiser already had in I'M
enviable record for striking snags.
While the North Atlantic squadron
was lying off Cuba she struck a rock
near Guantanamo; when hardly out
of her builders hands she struck in
the Delaware river and punched a big
hole in her bottom, and once again
on the East river the vessel enconn-
tered an ~unlooked-for obstruction.
Her accident Wednesday is the fourth
one in the memory of laval officials.

THE HERMIT THRUSH.

When t%wilight's hush
rails on secluded wood and lonely HILL.
III is the thrush
whose song, calm as the night, rings
heavenward.
And dies away along the dewy sward.
1t rises free,
And bears serenely down the darkening
day
Life's rhapsody,
The mingling light and shadow of the
years,
Too sad for joyousness. too sweet for
tears.
A vesper song-bird singing,
Inc calm forgetfulness Of joy. too sweet
tor wildwood voices to repeat,
Is rising skyward with thy song
whose liquid sweetness fingers long
Upon the night air ringing.
The night is nigh;
The woodland signs for thee, the breezes
call
Again thy cry
Floats out across the dusk that waits for
thee,
And the rapt strains of thy rare min
strelsy.
No more thou singest,
To some dark tangle of the forest depths
Thy flight thou wingest;
Where vaulted arches echo to thy tones,
The pine tree shivers and the night wind
means.

SOUTHERN G%LEANlNGS.
Race Trouble in Mississippi.

Trouble between the races is re.
ported from Redwood, Miss. Mr..
Hughes, a white man, was beaten al
most to death by a party of negroes.
This aroused the whites, who at
tempted to arrest the ~ringleaders.
About thirty negroes, headed, it is
said, by a white man. took refuge i'll
a freight car, declining to allow any
of their number to be taken. Deputy
Sheriff Scott, with a posse and a de-
tachment of the Warren light artil-
lery, went to Redwood, and the latest
reports are to the effect that quiet
prevails.

A VICTORY FOR THE navy.
Admiral Higginson's Fleet Ran the
Guns of Forts Adams
and Witherell.
THE NAVAL OFFICERS CLAIM A VICTORY.
The Claim Is Made On the Technical Ground
That the Ships Were Brought Within
Broadside Range Before They Were
Picked Up BY the Searchlights From
the Land DefenRes.

Newport, r. l., Sept. 6.-Two cruis-
ers and three battleships of Admiral
H~igginson's fleet ran the guns of
Forts Adams and Wetherill Friday
night, getting within broadside range
for all their guns before they were
picked up by the searchlights of the
forts. The fact that the Brooklyn
got to the mouth of the harbor before
it was picked up by the searchlights
is considered by naval men here to be
a victory for the fleet.
When, afoat and ashore, the can
nonading was at it's height, the scene
was one of grandeur. The racket
woke up Newport as it was eve
aroused before. The gunners in the
forts, after working the big guns for
a few minutes, had to desert them
and quickly manned the secondary
batteries. The rapid-fring guns made
as great a din as the big ones, and
if anything made the picture a live
lier one. The five vessels kept in al
most under Fort Adams, until within
short range of the torpedo station,
and then they appeared to anchor.
The firing stopped and it was sup
posed the great battle was ended. In
half an hour the ships suddenly
steamed out of the harbor in the same
order as coming in, the Brooklyn
leading. The ships did not fire a
gun, but Fort Adams gave them a
few broadsides, and when the Brook
Ign and Olympia were abreast of
Beaver Tail light, Fort Greble opened
for the first time. The fleet escaped,
if such was the idea, toward Block
island.
During the battle the smaller craft
were in squadron formation to sea-
ward and did not attempt to enter
the harbor. The Puritan and Indiana
were not seen. AS there was not time
for communication between the shore
and the ships the maneuver of the
fleet was mystifying, Che army
claims hat not only would its guns
have swept the ships, but it's mines
would have wrecked some of them
in the narrow channel, SO that escape
would have been impossible for any
that reached the harbor.

THE MONARCH OF THE FOREST

Recently Discovered In the
Sierra

San Francisco, Sept. 5.-A few
weeks ago there was discovered 20
the east of Fresno, in the Sierras, the
biggest tree in the world. At the
time it was said that it measured
$50 feet in circumference.
John Muir, the great naturalist,
has just visited the tree. and reports
that it measures at the base only 109
feet, and at four feet above the
ground it was only 81 feet in circum-
