A BIG TORTOISE.

An unusual shipment was made re- gently from this port to London in the form of a very large live tortoise weighing more than 600 pounds, says the Boston Transcript. Experts who have seen this tortoise state that it has lived about 400 years, and it's splendid condition upon arriving in Boston gives every indication that it will continue to live for great many years yet. This monstrous species of testudinata meas ures siXty-four inches across the curv- ature of the back, and when it's legs are outstretched and it's neck extended the head reaches several feet from the ground. Walter Rothchild of London is engaged in collecting rare specimens of tortoises, and this is one among a hundred that have been sent to him by F. B. Webster of Hyde Park. They are added to his private museum at Tring, but he has given some speci- mems to public geological exhibits throughout London.
 The value of the 6O0- pounder is placed at s1,50O in this city, and this amount will be greatly increased pro- viding the animal arrives on European shores in good shape. Great care is re- quired in preserving the life of the tor toise, and this one that has just passed through Boston travelled in an open crate. Transit to Boston was made in the express car of a fast passenger train, the temperature of which was kept above SO degrees Fahrenheit. The tortoise family is fast becoming ex- tinct. This latest specimen was taken zoo miles off the coast of Ecuador. on Albermarle island, which is a part of the Galapagos group. They resort to the high mountains of warm regions and frequently expeditions are sent from San Francisco to these places to get them. large tortoise gives it's captors a great deal of trouble on the necessarily slow journey from the top of the mountains to the seacoast. Ma tives are employed in the work of hauling the reptiles from their wild abodes to places where they are loaded

open eyes like windows in a palace of Parian marble bronzed by the Oriental sun, curves which palpitate with life, splendid locks of hair which sometimes envelop her completely like a garment. Extremely religious, extremely ignor- ant, extremely jealous, and extremely indolent is her character. She has a just pride given by her extraordinary | beauty and full cogniZance of her own power of staying man with a glance or causing him to slay himself, of having in her hands the key which will open open heaven or he'll
 The German woman is less graceful in outline and movement, but she is solidly built to resist the injuries or time and of love; blonde, white, and azure-eyed; organized in such a way as to be a better wife than sweetheart more a woman thna a female, resembl- ing man more than any of her Europ- can sisters. In genious, studious, far more cultivated than other women; an excellent mother of a family; passion ately fond of the dance and music; idealistic, spiritual, imaginative. all ways disposed to admiration and to mount the high horse of enthusiasm.
 The Englishwoman is of a blonde type, at the opposite pole from the Spaniard without being her inferior She is beautiful in a different way. When she is powerful in figure, and she often is, she unites all of the most contradictory qualities of richness and daintiness, of grandeur and grace. Her hair offers all the hues of the golden and the silvery blonde, her eyes are heavenly, her skin is like Sevres porce |. lain, her nose is nobly formed, her teeth admirable, her youth lasts throughout life. In a word, she is the perfect woman. Reserved to the ex- treme, active, a slave to human re- spect, and, like the German woman, devoted to her family, much like a man, she dominates men alike by the rights of her heart and by her intelli- gence.-Paola MOntegazza in Chicago Tribune.

 The big tortoise has travelling com panion to London in a little one weigh ing only seventeen ounces. Twelve years is said to be its age, and for the last five years has shown no growth whatever. In their wild life they sub sist upon the cactus principally, but when in captivity in the colder climates they are fed on cabbages. A foreign express concern with a Boston office looks after the shipment of the differ ent specimens sent by MT.

 Colonel Frazer had taken the Balti- more & Ohio and had preceded her by several days. They took up their abode; at Morgantown and entered the first year of law in the department of the university.

sEPULCHRAL REPARTEE
How Genial Men Make Light of a
 Very Grave" Subject.

George Klotzbach, who has charge of Greene and Packard's string of race horses here, is the biggest josher south of the Grand canyon and west of the Texas plains. He has got to have his fun whatever the expense, and yester- day he was made the point of joke which he cleverly turned off on another. who in turn handed it back
 He has been very sick for several weeks past with tansilitis, so sick in fact that he could have died easier than he could get well, but he knew the stake races were coming on in Decem- Der and he felt that it would hardly be the fair thing to throw down his em- ployers just at this important stage of the game. Besides he has good job and it is never a wise policy to throw away a good thing for an uncertainty. Yesterday he was able to get up town and the first man he met was his phys ician, who is something of a joker himself and who also likes to humor his patients when he can.
 MT. KlOtzbach, though naturally a very handsome man, is a little bit hag- gard after his illness, just the sort of a fellow an undertaken would fall in love with. It chanced that an under taker came along as the two were talk ing and the doctor, thinking to jolly George little, introduced them, telling the undertaken that George was look ing for a good man to handle his case.
 The joke seemed to be on the horse trainer, but he kept his head and passed it along to the undertaken, who could do nothing but play a safe game, for though it is not a frequent occur renee, undertakers are sometimes ap- preached in this way by prospective patrons afflicted by some fatal malady. MT. Klotzbach told the undertaken that he was very glad to make his acquain- tance. He had been a very sick man and if he had met him sooner he would have made such arrangements for the last sad rites as befits a gentleman and a horse trainer. Several times he was so low he felt it was his duty to come up town and secure the services of a funeral director but his physician al ways objected on ethical grounds, though he thought a man had as much right to select his own shroud as he had his underclothes.
 By this time the undertaken was next and as he turned to leave he said to Mir. KIotzbach, Well, if you ever have occasion to need me again, come around and I'll make it an object for you to deal with me. Always glad to see old friends and if you can't come ring up double nine, eight, naught, seven, six" By the way" he contin- ued, I've just got in a fresh stock of fluid that's
 Never mind the fluid" said MT. Klotzbach. There's something in here that's more exhilarating and just as effective in the end. Will you join me7' And they all faded away through a hole in the wall.

A LONG JOURNEY A-HoRsEBACK.

With brace of revolvers at her side, bowie knife in the bootleg and new riding suit, Mrs. Leila Frazer, wife of Colonel James C. Frazer of Morgan town, w. Va, mounted her sorreI charger this morning and rode out of l town, westward bound. Columbus, O., IS where she expects to draw rein in
 the course of a week, if "I have no bad luck" as she expressed it. Mrs Frazer will not make her journey on a side saddle, as the women of ten and
 twenty ears ago would travel, but, be- ing up to date. she sits astride, takes
 the reins in the left hand and poises herself in manner that would do jus | tice to the memory of General Phil Sheridan.
 Mrs. Frazer halls from England and converses with the usual accent She
 and her husband practice law under
 the firm name of Frazer & Frazer, their diplomas having been given to them at tho same time by the faculty of the West Virginia university. A few years ago they were engaged in the grain and feed business at Martins
 burg, w Va, but they wearied of the prosaic life of weighing out oats and corn and dispensing chicken feed and decided to take up Blackstone
 As the story goes, they bored over the contents of the great legal lumin- ary's commentaries during their leisure hours at the feed store. In the course of time the doors of their little Berke- ley county institution were closed They bade farewell to old ties and friends in that neck of the woods and proceeded to the Athens of West Vir- ginia
 Even at that time Mrs. Frazer refus- ed to travel on the steam cars, and, providing herself with bag of eat ables and two bushels of oats for her horse, she started astride, man fash ion, for Morgantown. She came in on

WHAT CAUSES DANDRUFF.
Greatest European Authority on Skin
 Diseases Says It's a Germ.

The old idea was that dandruff is scales of skin thrown off through a feverish condition of the scalp. Prof. Unna, Hamburg. Germany, European authority on skin diseases, says dan druff is a germ disease. The germ bur rows under the scalp, throwing up little scales of cuticle, and sapping the vii tality of the hair at the root. The only hair preparation that kills dan druff germs is Newbro's Herpicide.

ono Of them escaped injury. James Carr. q
walter. was hurt In the cafe, 40 that he died
In the Presbyterian Hospital later, and
Cyrus Adams. the manager OF the cigar
counter, was buried under rock and broken
glass, and killed by a piece Of glass that
struck him In tho neck as though It had been
the weapon Of an executioner. The Hine
boy was also killed In the restaurant.
Everybody who had been In the base.
ment OF the hotel came out trembling and
incoherent, whether he had been hurt or
not. The story was told OF one group OF
four men who were sitting at a table drink
ing. A long spear Of glass half an inch
thick came singing through the air and
stuck upright in the top of the table. II
was driven into the wood for three inches
Of its length and quivered before them while
the crashing and laundering went on all
around.
RoBERTsoN CHOSE ROOM lie WAS KILLED IN.
As soon as Mr.. jacques had cared for his
wounded guests as well as he might he
verified the reports OF his men that there
was nobody left In tho front part OF the
house on the upper floors and took steps
to have the body Of Mr.. Robertson. the
mining engineer, cared for.
Mr.. Robertson had been particular about
having a main floor room because OF his
great size. He Gaid that he hated to crowd
the elevators and that he would not Walk Yak
upstairs under any circumstances. The
hotel folks went to some trouble to give
him Parlor NJ on the northeast corner
Of the hotel and he had been comfortably
esta blished there but few moments when
the crash came.
The room was moro exposed To the full
force OF the explosion than any other room
in the house. Everything In IL except the
clothing, the mattress of the bed and the
pillows was broken to small bits
HOTEL STRUCTURE INTACT
The hotel people found themsel yes over
whelmed soon alter the accident by friends
OF people who had been guests OF the house
They, therefore, requested that police
guard be set at the side door. The front
door was blocked with great chuncks OF
stone which had been hurled there by the
explosion. Two policemen were stationed
there who turned away everybody VINO
was not recognized as q guest by one OF
the clerks Inquirers were allowed 10
send in cards TO the people in whom they
were interested,
These regulations gave rise to yarn
that the building had been declared unsafe,
which was exactly contrary to the truth
A careful search of the foundations and
the supports OF the house by the Building
Department showed that despite the ter
rifle damage done to the face OF the build
ing, there had been no damage to the sup
port of the structure Its framework Is as
strong as il was before the explosion, in
the opinion Of the Building Department.
BRAVE PRIESTS in THE BUILDING.
There were two Roman Catholic priests
on the main foor of the hotel when the
crash came. They remained all the after
noon comforting the frightened and the
distressed of all creeds. One of them,
Father RYAN had been thrown on his face
and had teen cut about the face and hands,
but he refused attention from tho surgeons
so long as there was single bloody face
or hand waiting 20 be- bandaged. The
other priest, Father Sheedy, was not hurt.
