In PIttsburq,

Morris Opar and Abraham Afler are ull-
der arrest at Pittsburg, Pa. and have
in their possession over $4,000 worth of
diamonds. That the gems were stolen
there seems no doubt, but the police Of the
smoky city have not yet learned where
the jewe.s came from. Chief of Police
Conroy has communicated with the Pitts
burg police and has provided them with
a description of the Jewels stolen from
Mrs. Louis K. Hull about two weeks ago
If Mrs. Hull's jewels are among the lot
found in the possession of the two men
an effort will be made to bring the mer

Mrs. Nellie Whitney, a philanthro-

in police court this morning, that she
did not believe in whisky or saloons.
Mrs. Whitney came to court volun-
tarily to testify in favor Of G. A. Dean,
who was arrested while intoxicated at
the Lyceum theater. Further testi-
mony revealed that she was standing
by the ticket window when Dean was
pleading with the officers. She later
went to the Central station and bailed
the young man out, altho she had
never seen him before.
Her pleadings however, did not

A unique dinner was served in New
York one night last week, the idea be-
ing to do entirely away with cooking
in the kitchen. There were nearly a
hundred guests. Think of it, hum
d1 ed people who wished to forego por-
terhauSe steak and other delicious
dishes issuing from the cook stove.
In the seven course dinner not a meat,
not a potato not cup OF coffee nor even
q glass of water was served. OF course
it was necessary to provide at least
seven courses of such foods as were set
before the guests, for it would have
been impossible to FILL up" on a small
er quantity Of them. A soup was serv-
ed-cold-and was simply crushed
wheat and cream. Fruit juices were
supposed to supply the systems of the
guests with all the liquid nedful at
one meal, so there were no drinks
There We're nuts, ripe olives, a salad
tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, eggnogs
ice cream, prunes, oat flakes and other
elementary foods" as they are called.
That the guests enjoyed the ban
quet was shown by the fact that they
stayed at the table for nearly three
hours, and the principal topic of con-
versatiOn was of pity for the benight-
ed individuals who preferred the nerve
destroying beefSteak to Persian prunes
or the dyspepsia bringing chop to
mashed wheat soup
1T won't be long," said an enthusiast
tic women after the first course of nat
ural soup had been served and was be-
ing replaced by ripe olives and al
mOnds. before the world will find
that the secret of health is in getting
away from all meats and all cooked
food"
Another woman revealed another
purpose for this sort of diet. 'The diet
means the emancipation of the woman
from the kitchen and the cook stove.
1t will soon end the tyranny Of the
servant and the slavery of the kitch-
en-"

A True American Girl.

Among the Bar Harbor cottagers of
the coming season will be Miss Flor
ence Field, whose coming out party in
Washington last winter caused almost
sensation. Miss Field is the daughter
OF Mrs. Thomas Nelson Page, who by
her second marriage acquired great
wealth At Miss Fields coming out
there was not foreign guest. 1t was
the most intensely American function
that could be imagined, and all of the
young men of the embassies were ig-
nored. Some great friends of Miss
Field who were hampered with titles
were snubbed, and this state of af-
fairs interested the gossips Of Wash
ington. The Pages are in disfavor
with the diplomats, but they aim to
enjoy themselves with a different ele-
ment-that of the old observation-disclosures.
Who likewise disdain the foreigners.
But for young girl there is nothing
amusing about this "old set" Miss
Field has been handicapped by her
mothers radical ruling. She has pow
erful friends-among them Miss Janet
Fish and Miss Christine Roosevelt. of

To Share Princess PRESTIGE.

Little is known of the Archer M.
HuntingtOnS, who are now in mid
ocean. The Huntingtons are going di-
rectly to London, where the Princess
HatZfeldt is creating a big stir. Archer
Huntington is the adopted son of Col
lis 2. Huntington and the princess,
too, was the financiers adopted daugh-
ter. Young Huntington and his sis
ter always have been the best of
friends, although their tastes are at
variance. Huntington is the quietest
man imaginable, but his wife, who was
Miss Helen Gates, does not believe in
secluded life. The Huntingtons are
usually at Baychester, and when they
are in town they stay in the Hunting
ton mansion, at Fifth avenue and Fiji
ty-seventh street. Huntington is a
Yale man, and scarcely did he leave
college than he came into the Hunting
ton millions. But he made no splurge.
He and his young wife sailed away to
Spain, for which country he has
great fOndnesS. Huntington's passion
is Spanish literature and art, and he
owns one of the finest Velasquez in
existence.
The young Huntingtons are quite the
opposite of the acknowledged type of
milliOnaireS. Whereas the money ar
istocracy is scorching about in motors,
the Huntingtons still use their bicycles
They avoid fashionable colonies" and
are seldom seen in public. Mrs. Hunt
ington is slender and fragile looking,
and the adopted son of old Coils p is
feet inches tall. He is a veritable
giant, and even with his height he is
we'll proportional. He has a bright,
healthy look and wears a beard. Mrs
Huntington is a most charitable young
woman, and Archer proved his gener-
osity by giving more of the Hunting
ton millions to the princess than she
really inherited. For this favor he
should meet some of her royal friends
in London

he entered and remarked laconicaIly:

These dwarfs,' he said, are the

time immemorial. They claim they are
the original possessors of the soil. They
speak their own language and respect
their own laws The government does
not interfere with them because it
fears them. There can be no doubt
about their ferocity in battle. Any
thing strange incurs their hatred. You
have long hair. They will try to take
it from you. 1t is certain you will
not be permitted to leave the town

have few got against 20 or 800. You
have only one hope: They do not I'M

now and then a hideous countenance
would show itself above the wall of
the corral. 1t was only necessary to
point the barrel of a carbine or a
revolver, however, to make it just as
SUDDENLY disappear.
AS dawn broke I gave the signal
for departure. Each of our men had
his Winchester on his knee and a re-
volver in his hand. Nor was this pre-
caution useless. The doors were hard
ly opened when we saw before US some
5000 dwarfs. Not face among them
but was grimacing with terrible ex-
pectation and fearful bowls filled the
air.
my companions formed themselves
in line. We were forced to fire, and at
our first discharge there fell PROSTATE
a dozen or more. Then, having a free
space for the moment, we set our
steeds forward at a gallop and tramp
ling over some and shooting others
We opened our passage, in the midst Of
the fercest kind of tumult, we made
our way through this human sea of
wild cries and bitter opposition. Hap
PLY for us none of our horses stumbled
on the rough stones of the roadway.
1t would have been sure death for their
riders.

happy escape. 1t is certain that had I
not been warned by the innkeeper
not one of US would have survived"

MONSTER STURGEON.
lowed Boat So Fast That Tug Could
Not Catch Up.

Sturgeon, once so plentiful in the
middle Hudson known to commerce as
Albany beef" are now rarely caught.
There are still some giant fish left,
however, as was proved by the exciting
experience Roundsman George LIE Roy,
of this city, had with one yesterday.
Before he became a policeman Rounds
man LIE Roy was an expert river fish
erman. Every spring he overhauls his
nets and tries drift or two to keep
his hand in.
Yesterday the roundsman launched
his yawl, and taking his sturgeon net,
dropped it in the river opposite Pough-
keepsie. He was drifting gently with
the tide toward Milton, when he saw
a float plunge under, followed by 9TH
erS.
"a strike!" exclaimed the rounds
man, following the words with instant
action. AS he tugged and pulled and
hauled with all his strength to keep
the fish from turning on him the
roundsman murmured, This is no
copper bottom cincn." "Geewhiilli-
kens!" he shouted a moment later, as
he got a tug that nearly yanked him
over the gunwhale. He caught fleet
ing glimpse of a broad back like the
TANKS of a rhinoceros and the f1irt of
big f1uke that made fhe water churn
and bubble.
The roundsman dropped the net and
let it run, as the mesh is not made that
will hold a giant sturgeon when it
turns. Giving the fish time enough to
get tangled up, the roundsman then
made fast.
Other events were happening in the
meantime. The roundsman was want
ed as a witness in a case in the city
court. A subpoena was given to Patrol
man AlbertSOn to serve on him. He
got to the river bank in time to see
the roundsman pulling in his net. Then
he saw him drop it and make fast, and
noticed the boat begin to move down
the river. He shouted, but the rounds
man did not hear him. A quartette of
fishermen with tin horns tried their
best to halt him. The roundSman had
no ear for horns.
The subpoena was then turned over
to a volunteer, who boarded the tug
boat Annie, and remarkable race was
started, which continued for six miles
Capt. Wolfe, of the tugboat, footed and

energy into the sturgeon. 1t was soon
going at a four minute clip, and

The prize had eluded him, but he re-

When the subpoena was handed to
him from the deck of the Annie

let me say that I am not a superstf-
tious person; l am not one to believe
that certain events are of Supernatu-
raj origin simply because they happen
to be other than commonplace More
over, almost all the residents of st.
Rose will testify to the truth of what
L relate, should any one investigate
the matter, for many of them have
watched this log as it erratically float
ed up and down the river in front or
their places, wondering all the time
about the cause Of its maneuvers. The
log first made it's appearance in front
of the village during the high water of
1897. when it came drifting near the
top of the levee. A resident of st.
Rose, with the assistance of a few of
his friends. pulled it almost up to the
summit of the leVee. 1t was fiat on
one side, and after being drawn out Of
of the river, remained seemingly inn
movable on the embankment. Some
time afterward the resident just men
toned drove large piece of iron into
the log and tied his skiff to it, wrap
ping the skiff's chain about the iron.
Anew days later storm occurred, the
Mississippi rose considerably, and both
log and skiff disappeared. They were
subsequently found ten miles down the
river, and the Skiff was brought back
to st. Rose. The following morning
the log, which had been left where it
had drifted with the skiff. was near
the spot where it had been pulled up
some days previous. 1t had worked
its way up stream. Later it foated to
another portion of the st. Rose front.
and again the log returned to it's old
place, 1t drifted away yet again. and
still came back to the place where it
had first been pulled up. One day it
SWirled away with unsuaual Vigor, and
the log. which by this time had be-
come a celebrated object to the VIII
layers. remained unseen for weeks
afterward. 1t was thought that it had
floated away for good, but when the
river went down it was discovered that
the log had settled among some old
weeds on the batture. During the re-
cent high water this log f1oated about
as it had drifted in 1897. When the
river subsidized it again lodged itself on
the st. Rose batture. where it still lays.
There's no use talking about it. the
logs haunted-it's hoodooed! New

Guanajuato. From the first the ap-
pearance Of the population surprised
me In the streets l saw nothing but
emaciated Indians and many other ex-
tremely curious individuals. These lat
ter were scarcely more than forty
inches high, with short and massive
legs, and arms so long that their hands
almost touched the ground.
Their principal garment was COM
posed of coarse wool falling to the
knees. A belt of leather around the
waist supported a heavy Mexican ma
chete.
Their faces were hideous. Imagine
features like those Of a gorilla. The
same expression of beastly ferocity:
not single trace of beard; rough
gristly hair and cut in a manner to ac-
centuate the natural responsiveness OF
the visage. 1t was impossible to dis
tinguish the women from the men. All
wore the same costume and had the
same external appearance.
They allowed us to proceed on our
way among them and even to reach
a neighboring inn, without showing
any signs of hostility. But they watch
ed us closely, and at times strange
looks of ill-will came into their sui
len eyes.
