BOWEN'S ERROR.
How an American Minister'S Wife
Prevented Serious Trouble.

Although public sentiment credits
Herbert G. Bowen, minister to Vene-
zuela, with having conducted his dell
cate mission with great skill and dip
lomatic ability, the fact is known now
for the first time that at the outset be
made a we'll nigh fatal blunder, says
the Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune. So serious was his
mistake that he consents to mention
the incident only with the greatest diff
dence even now when the effects OF the
mistake are dissipated.
The story of the serious error Is as
follows: The day after his arrival Mr..
Bowen went out to post a letter. 1t
may have been a communication to one
of the ambassadors of the allies or 1t
may have been a communication TO
royalty, but as he walked out into the
street the minister beheld a box and.
walking toward it, started to drop In
the letter. Suddenly he heard an ago
nized shout from Mrs. Bowen. Paus-
ing, he once more regarded the box and
discovered to his horror that it was not
mailbox, but a receptacle for waste
paper. The situation was saved. me
letter proceeded on its course; but Mr..
Bowen still refers with deep emotion
to his first diplomatic error.

STATUTORY PROHIBITION.
Bishop Galloway Opposes 1t and
FavorS Local Option.

A Jackson, Miss, dispatch says:
"The letter of Bishop Charles B.
Galloway of the Methodist church, in
which he in no uncertain term con-
demned the movement for statutory
prohibition. has thrown cold water
over the state prohibition forces, and
the effect OF his utterances will be seen
at the coming convention of the state
prohibitionists, which will be held in
this city on the 18th Of this mouth.
"Bishop Galloway in his letter said
that he thought statutory prohibition
a bad thing; that it created strife and
opened the question at the session of
every legislature, while the present
law of local option, that of allowing
every county to decide the question
for itself, was by far the most satisfac-
tory.
"The bishop has very large fol-
lowing, and his stand on the ques-
tion will undoubtedly defeat the meas
ure."
Bishop Galloway presided over the
South Georgia Conference at its an
nual session in Dawson several years
ago, and is one of the most scholarly

DEATH OF JOHN II. SPARKS.
How the Great Circus Man Was
Forced Out of the Ring.

AS John H. Sparks, the veteran
Snowman, was we'll known throughout
the south, we take the following &C.
count of his death from the New York
Clipper:
John II. Sparks, the we'll known
circus proprietor, met a sad and un-
timely death at his winter home, Win
ston-S Salem, N. c., on January 2S. Mr..
Sparks had several cages of animals at
his resort, and among them two young
lions about two years of age, which he
had raised, they being born while
with the show in the south. On Sun
day afternoon, January Is, Mr.. Sparks
was stroking one of them through the
bars of the cage, which he had done
many times before, but this time the
animal caught him by the right hand
and drawing the arm in the cage lac
Grated it nearly to the elbow. Blood

putation was necessary, and the arm
was taken off at the shoulder, but it
was of no avail, as Mr.. Sparkle did not
survive the shock.
"Mr. Sparks had been il the theat-
rical and circus business nearly 25
years, and of late years he had accumu-
lated good bit of wealth. He intend
ed to retire from business and devote
his time to his interests in the south.
He was in the prime of life. being
about 40 years of age. His body was
carried to his old home in East Brady,

WHERE THE STORM RACED
SOMETHING ABOUT THE SOCIETY u.s.
LANDS M THE SOUTH SEA.
The Islands Are Two Hundred Miles
Long, and Are Inhabited by 1900
People of PoIynesian Race.

The Society Islands, which we're de-
vastated by the hurricane last month,
are in the middle of the Pacific, more
than 1000 miles northeast of New Zeal
and and some 3,400 miles southwest of
San Francisco. The islands consist of
Tahiti, which embraces 600 square
miles out of total of $40 for che entire
archipelago, and number of smaller
ones, the chief being Raiatea and
Eimeo.
The group is divided into clusters,
called Windward and Leeward islands,
and stretches for about 200 miles in
northwest and southeast direction.
They are composed of volcanic rocks,
are mountainous and we'll wooded, with
belts of low fertile soil along the
shores. Coral reefs encircle the sepa-
rate islands, and numerous cascades
form down the mountain sides. The
scenery is magnificent, the chief island
being often called the Garden of the
Pacific" The climate is very mosit
and hot, but equable and healthy.
Cocolnuts, oranges, vanilla and all
kinds of fruit are grown, as we'll as
some cotton and sugar. Besides these
things, mother of pearl THE most valu-
able of ALI, cocoanut fl bre and trepang
are exported. The imports, tissues,
-four, wine, live stock, sugar, coffee,
coal, timber and soap, reached nearly
$500, 900 in 1880. The people cultivate
for their own sustenance the bread
fruit, taro, yam, sweet potato, etc.
There are several good harbors behind
the reefs. The most important is
Papeete, the capital of the archipel-
ago, which stands on the northeast of
Tahiti, and has a cathedral, an arse
nal and a population in 1881 of 1924.
The population of all the islands to-
gether, though more than half are
wholly uninhabited, was l1,l76 in
1888.
The people, handsome race of the
Polynesian stock, are light-hearted,
polite and gay, but very immoral and
untrustworthy. Before they became
as thoroughly Europeanized as they
are now they were notorious for their
cruelty. The group was discovered by
the Spanish navigator De Quiros. He
pave the name of Society Islands in
honor of the Royal Society of London
on the occasion of his first visit. AT
that time the population numbered
nearly quarter of million. In 1880
Tahiti was proclaimed full French
possession.

Morgan's Search for Three Million.

Senator Morgan of Alabama is caus'
ing the republicans good deal of
uneasiness by his resolution calling on
the secretary of the navy for cores
pondence relative to the military oc-
cupation of the bays of Panama and
Columbia. The inference from what
he said in his remarks and his reso-
luton is that the United States have
agreed to pay the revolutionists in
Columbia So, 900, 600 to cease their OPP
position to the recognized government.
1t is certainly suspicious that the sum
which the United States were to pay
Columbia for Panama canal conces-
sions-that is the amount they were to
pay cash-was suddenly raised from
81. 600, 600 to $4,000, 900.
