A Frightened Negro Who Got Re-
lease Only When His Trousers
Gave Way.
A Negro whose name could not be as
certained, had a narrow escape from
painful injury during the unloading OF
the steamer Kitty Knight. at the Light
street wharf of the Sassafras River
line yesterday afternoon, but gained
quite a lot of valuable experience con-
cerning the handling Of swapping tur-
ties.
1t was while the wharf was crowded
with commission men and agents and
the excitement attendant upon the un-
loading of several score Of cattle was
at its height, that the bystanders were
startled at the loud and continuous
screaming of some one In their rear.
Turning they beheld big. swarthy Ne
gro vainly endeavoring to climb over
the side of his wagon, which was back
ed up against the wharf. and In the
bottom of which his foot and leg SEEM
ed to be caught. Suddenly there was a
rip and a tear, portion Of the mans
trousers leg gave way and he dropped
to the ground.
By this time the crowd had gathered
nearer the wagon, in which they be-
held, lying on his back, frantically way
ing his webbed feet and angrily shoot
ing out his head at intervals, an im-
mense swapping turtle. In the reptiles

pressed that no one but the cook, who
hoped to be Hamllton's successor as
commissary sergeant, had the sense to
propose three cheers for the colonel
But the prospective lieutenant did
not leave bis pans. 1t took an hour OF
time to fry and deal out that half bar

exhausted. Hamilton threw his greas-

The coffee cups were filled and emp
tied. and we went slowly back to the
quarters In little groups instead Of sim
ely and In haste. as was usual In cool
weather. There were not as much scuf-
fling, swearing and horseplay as we
generally had between supper and tat
too. The quarters were quiet-so quiet
that We were almost startled when
Mick McTwyny's grating voice and
thick brogue were heard IN an attempt
to sing. The words were merely
"Thra- a-lah-lah," but the music, In spite
Of some eccentric sharps and fats. was
finally recognized as that Of Home,
Sweet Home."' Some one hummed the
bass, another fellow helped Mick along
with the air, others dropped in. singly
or two or three together, on various
notes and bars, and when the last note
was touched it seemed as though every
voice was In it. Then BrMnard start
ed us all off again. with all the words
and notes distinctly enunciated.
The effect was not what | would
have expected. Everybody looked seri-

In the center Of the room, l saw our
house at Summerton, my father and
mother, little Ned and Cousin May,
the dog Rover, the horses, cows. pigs

1t says much for the integrity Of gov
ernment officials that all knowledge Of
our recent important treaty with Japan
was successfully withheld from foreign
nations until the compact had been ac-
tually sealed, but the great care exer-
cised' in guarding diplomatic secret
renders a premature announcement
very rare indeed. No government Sc

sions when minutes Of cabinet meet

sovereign. AS a rule, our ministers
meet and transact business without any
one being the wiser, for no official Of
any kind is allowed to be present
Once the government has decided up
on an important piece of foreign policy,
1t has to be transmitted to our repre-
sentative abroad, and for the first time
the secret Is put in writing in the form
Of unintelligible cipher, the key to

ambassador. The men who draw up
these intricate cipher codes are relia-

THE NEW JACKSONVILLE.
A Fresh City Built Before the Ruins
of the Old Have Ceased to

l. Fresh City Built Before the Ruins
of the Old Have Ceased to
Shoulder.
Before the fire that destroyed a great
part of the city Of Jacksonville, Fla,
has ceased to burn, the city has practi-
cally been rebuilt. This statement not
only describes a building operation re-
markable for its rapid execution, but
also covers an incident unique in the
experience Of f1remen.
Jacksonville was almost wiped out by
fire on May Of last year. An area Of
443 acres. comprising 14S blocks. was
swept by the flames and property worth
at least $4,000, 1000 was destroyed.
The work Of rebuilding on a better
and more substantial scale was started
within week and has gone on with
rapidity unprecedented in southern
building operations and now the city
Is in far better shape than 1t was be-
fore the fire.
About three weeks ago the clearing
up Of the last ruins was begun. The
laborers doing the work removed three
or four inches Of the mass Of brick and
stone on top and then found to their
surprise that underneath the ruins were
still hot.
Smoke began to rise out Of the hole
they had dug and the farther down
they went the hotter became the ruins
and the thicker the smoke. At last a
mass of red hot Goals was found, which
sprang into flames when the air reach
ed 1t.
1t had been necessary several times
within the year for the fire department
to soak this part of the ruins with wa
ter, but 1t had been thought for several
months that the fire must be out at
last.
Alongside new Jacksonville had al
ready sprung into existence. Six
months after the destruction OF the
city a new one already covered the
greater part Of the site.
Within eleven months more than 2,0oO
buildings were erected. fifty Of them
aggregating in cost s2,OOO,0OO. And the
new Jacksonville is immeasureably su-
perior to the old.-New York Sun.

mouth there was a square piece of
cloth which matched the color Of the
pantaloons the Negro wore. The trou-
BILE was explained.
The Negro, in loading his wagon, had
gone too near the turtle, which. angry
over treatment it had received, grabbed
the first thing within its reach upon
which to wreak its vengeance. The
jaws came together with snap, miss
ing the Negro, but catching the cloth
ing.
The threatening look in the little eyes
frightened the man, who turned as he
felt something grab his neither gar
ments, and he shrieked and attempted
to get away. The cloth could not stand
the tug of war and gave way.-Balti-

GROWTH OF HABIT.-A correspondent
OF The Lancet tells a story In reference
to the rapid growth Of the habit of tip
pling which may be developing in un-
suspecting subjects. Two elderly la
dies, he says, were surprised by WIS.,
itor in the act of drinking neat brandy.
Upon expressing some surprise they
said that brandy had been recon-
mended to them as a capital preventi-
tive against cnolera and they first took
1t with water, and then they took 1t
without water, and now they took 1t
