Sure enough. he finds two of the

from them that the Spheroid's local

Promptly Watterson telegraphs from
Jamaica as follows:

sweetheart, or Spheroid will beat us.
"Watterson."
His telegram saves the day The
Vespucius appears on the street with
pictures of all the principal actors in
the Ronkonkoma tragedy six minutes
ahead of the Spheroid. The poor pub
lie can't tell which pictures are genu-
inc.
Quiet little Ronkonkoma is electri-
fled when the reporters arrive. Cor
oner Jackson sitting on a box of
freight idly discussing the doings of
President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay, is
brought suddenly to his feet by the
excited query of Black of the Ves-

What inquest?" the coroner asks,
wonderingly
why, the Billings murder?"
The poor coroner turns pale. He
fears that he has been derelict in his
duty. He sees himself surrounded, six
cameras swapping at him at once. In
few hours his picture will be pub
lished forth to the world.

orders not to describe Hawkins APP

looking pallid, haggard, nervous and
worn, when Wainwright has just de-
scribed him as cool, careless and de-

What matters it if Miss Frances

clandestine meetings that brought

OPENED AN OLD GRAVE.
Fortune Hunters Engage in Ghouiish
Wo.rk Near Bald Knob.

Bald Knob, Ark, June 26.-On what
is known as the old Woodward farm
three miles north of Bald Knob, some
unknown parties last week tore away
the stone curbing of grave in which
young girl was buried during the
war, dug down about three feet. and,
it is supposed, took out pot of treas
ure, as the impression of vessel was
left in the bottom of the opening
made. The parties must have been
frightened away, as they left without
filing up the grave A great deal OF
excitement was caused in that neigh
bOrhood by the ghoulish work.

The recent formal opening of the
Tilden clubs fine new home at which
exercises ex-President Cleveland made
his much-discussed speech, marks the
entry into national politics of a new
and important Democratic factor. In
the new organization are Democrats
of large influence and of large means
who believe that the party should be
brought back to it's old moorings and
who hope to accomplish much in that
direction through the forming of the
Tilden club. The party is going to
return to it's old moorings, too, and
those who don't like the old-fashioned
genuine Democracy. straight and un-
adulterated. will have to join the

in that neighborhood heard noise at

the fall of heavy implement of some

 It Is just possible that tbis type of pygny negro which survives today in the fecCsses of inner Africa may even have overspread Europe in remote tnsRs.

The demeanor and actions of the little Congo dwarfs at the present day remind one over and over again, of the traits attributed to the brownies aIiG goblins of our fairy stories. Their remarkable power of becoming invisible by adroit hiding in herbage and behind rocks. their probable habits in sterile open countries of making their homes in holes and caVerns, their mis- ehievousness and prankish good nature, all seem to suggest that 1t was some race like this winch inspired most of the stories of Teuton and Celt regarding a drawfsh people of quasi Congo forest can be good or bad neighbors to the big black people according to the treat ment they receive. If their elhsh depredat,ons on the banana groves or their occasional thefts Of tobocca or maize condoned, or even if they are conciliated by small gifts of such food left exposed where it can be easily taken they will in return leave behind them in their Of the chase, such as skins ivory. I have been informed by some of the forest negroes that the dwarfs will occasionally steal their children and put in their places pyRmy ba- bies of ape-like appearance-changeling in fact-bringup up the children they have stolen mics, which one can scarcely call tribes, cer- tainy exhibit from tim eto time individual of ordinary, stature, and with features not strongly resembling those of the pygmy type.
