were about a dozen young gentlemen
present, most of them of musical in

ed. Mr.. Chauncey Bever acted as
POSTMASTER for the occasion and was
most happy in his introduction OF the
various speakers, who were called
upon at random to talk upon i'm
promptu subjects. This part Of the
programme was especially enjoyable
as many Of the addresses were sure
enough "hummers." A sumptuous col

style, and to say that those present
enjoyed themselves would be stating
it mildly.
H. G. Lowell, who was n of the

county, Wyoming, made one OF his
periodical visits to this city Sunday.
In the early eighties Mr.. Lowell made
a tour of that section of country and
finally decided to locate a stock ranch.
Neighbors were few in those days and
fences and contentious over ranges
were matters unknown among the peo-
pie occupying the section of country
in the valley of the Big Horn south OF
the mountains. The conditions. how

ANOTHER YAQUi RISING.
Desperate Battle Between Mexican Troops and
Indians.

Tucson, Ariz., Monday, June "A
battalion of the Mexican army COM
manded by General Torres, head of the
army in Sonora, fought desperate bat
tie with 800 Yaqui Indians on the after
noon of May Goth at FL Tanque, a
small place not far from Hermosillo.
A messenger arriving at Hermos Ito
only brought meager details of the
fight. Forty Yaquis were killed and
twice that number wounded. The
Mexican army lost Is men, two of
whom were volunteers.
The Yaquis escaped toward the MAJ
atan mountains, leaving their dead.
A large supplyof ammunition and arms
was captured.
Excitement is running high in
Hermosillo, and business is practically
suspended, many of the merchants hav-

for aid have been received from a
dozen surrounding towns, and ranchers
are fleeing to the towns for protection.

that they will be able to confine the
uprising to the district back of the

A Philippine TlT-BiT.
Minute Fish Made Into Cakes for the
Soldiers.

The sinarapan. minute fish in Phil
ppine waters is like any other fish in
shape and proportion. so far as the I'M
trained eye can see. On account OF its
phenomenal minuteness 1t Is almost
transparent. 1t has black chin,
black line down it's center, behind the
anal fin and few black spots on Its
back. Many Of the specimens dissect-
ed under the microscope contained
ripe eggs, comparable with the merest
needle point and measuring 1-2OO OF an
inch In diameter The females are
slightly larger than the males. The
former average a fraction more than
half an inch in length; the males just
half an inch. The smallest mature spe-
cimens are but two-ffths of an inch
from tip Of nose to point of tall.
An odd fact in regard to these in
finitesimal creatures is that they are
priced for human food. Lake Buhi is
n volcanic basin in the shadow of Mt.
Iriga. Here the side of mountain
seems to have been quite recently
blown out by volcanic action. Many
varieties Of fishes of every size abound
In the lake. but the sinarapan are by
far the most numerous.
The Bicols when fishing for them use
n large sheet of close web. which they
dip under the water whenever a school
congregates. They are gathered in
tightly woven baskets, from which the
water soon drains. leaving a compact
mass of the little creatures. When
the fleets of fishermen bring them To
shore in this condition the natives buy
them eagerly. They are seasoned with
pepper and other spices. pressed un-
cooked into cakes and dried in the
sun Our soldiers are reported To
have already grown fond of this
strange diet.-Providence Journal.

dent in one of the most sensational kid.
mapping cases of recent years For
among the passengers were Albert Vim
ton Taylor of Cincinnati and his long
lost little daughter, Margaret Vinton
Taylor.
The mysterious abduction of Margaret
Taylor, August IL, 1898, has become al
most as celebrated as that OF the long
sought for Charley Ross. To recover
this one small girl the vast machinery Of
the state department at Washington was
put in motion two United States am
bassadors, Mr.. Choate in London and
Mr.. Meyer in Rome, the authorities of
the state of Ohio and of Italy have aided
in the search for the child.
Margaret disappeared from Buinet
Woods, Cincinnati; she was found at
Bordeghera, five miles from San Reno.
A woman, her aunt, abducted Margaret |;
an English woman discovered her-Mrs.
d. Omission Chant.
Two other women, Mrs. LangwOrthy
Taylor and her daughter Frances, have
been found guilty of participating in the
girls abduction and are under suspended
sentence. Clara Taylor, the principal,
is in prison at San Reno, and an Ohio
detective left for that place early last
month, armed with extradition papers,
to bring her back.
Jealousy of the child's stepmother is
the reason assigned for the abduction.

an overture made by noted labor
organizer, who is temporarily in the

that the employees would make de-

wages, shorter hours, double pay for
overtime, the abolition of blacklisting,
age limits and numerous union changes.
The railroad officials are reported to
have asked time until June 10 to frame
an answer. This was granted, and both
sides are preparing for conference.
