An Applr Tree. Reot..

For the purpose of erecting n suita- ble monument in honor of Roger VII Hams, the founder of Rhode Island, his private burying ground was searched for himself and wife. It was found that everything had passed Into obliyi- on. The shape of the collins could be traced only by the carbonaceous mat ter. The rusted hinges and nails and a round wooden knot remained in one grave, while a single knot of braided hair was found in the other.
 Near the graves stood an apple tree. This had sent down two main roots into the very presence of the cottined dead. The larger root, pushing its way to the precise spot occupied by the skull of Roger Williams, had made turn as if passing around it and fol- lowed the direction ef the backbone Co the hips. Here it divided into two branches. sending one along each leg to the heel, where both turned upward toward the toes. One of these roots formed a slight crook at the knees, which made the whole bear striking resemblance to the human form.

ARABS GREET LOUBET
Brilliant Ceremony Held In Al
 gerian Desert.
THE TRIBEsMEN PROFESS LOYALTY

Chiefs Decorated by the President. Exhibition of Native Sports Fol- lows Review of Wild and Pictur- esque Cohorts.
 Fl Kreider, Algeria, April 22.-Presi- dent Loubet has witnessed remarka- ble demonstration by the nomadic tribesmen of the desert who acknowl- edge the suzerainty of France. The tribesmen gathered in thousands from all parts of southern Algeria for a cer- smony of oriental splendor.
 NJ. Loubet had heretofore visited on ly those sections of Algeria which show the advance of French colonial country, with its sparse and burned vegetation, where the stretches of sand and hot sun produced the curious eff fleets of mirage.
 The ceremony was held on a vast plateau. Here the tribesmen assem- bled from all quarters, some of them having journeyed 300 or 400 miles across the desert. Their tents were ar ranged in circles after the Arab GUS tom, each tribe occupying a large cir cle, in the center of which were droves of richly harnessed camels. The chiefs were mounted on horses, but the tribes men were on camels, and formed great caraYans. More than 5000 men partici- pated in the gathering.
 Loubet DecOrates Chiefs.
 A superb tent of camel's hair fabrics and Arab tapestries had been erected flor President Loubet. As each tribe passed in review its chief dismounted and paid homage to the president of France, who distributed decorations to the principal leaders.
 After the review came native eXhi- bition of sports. There were feats of horsemanship and much burning of gunpowder, the exhibition ending by a charge of all the native cavalry, which wheeled across the plain and galloped toward the station occupied by the president, pulling up their horses with in 300 yards of his position. A mimic combat followed. It represented the attack upon and capture of a caravan by a desert tribe.
 
 conclusion by a grand "diffa," ,or Arab banquet, given by the chiefs in honor of NJ. Loubet. The menu, which was printed in Arabic and French, included such desert delicacies as roast gazelle, 'couscous' and camers milk. Dances executed by celebrated native beauties followed, and after an exhibition of na- tive methods of hunting, which includ- ed hare chase by trained falcons, the days entertainment ended.
 The president then started on his re turn journey to Saida. The tribesmen, mounting their horses, rode at full gal lop alongside the train as long as they could keep up the pace, their many colored bernouses, f1uttering in the wind, making a brilliant picture.
 The days entertainment presented d spectacle of barbarie splendor such as seldom has been seen by European eyes

SHAMROCK WRECKED
LIPToN'S NEW CHALLENGER DISMAN-
 TILED BY A SoUALL.

The Mast and Rigging Completely
 Ruined-Sir Thomas Declines an
 Oner to Have Cup Races Postponed.
 Damage Estimated st s25,OOO.
 Sir Thomas Lipton's new challenger for the Aperica's cup was dismasted in squall shortly after leaving the har- Dor of Weymouth, England. on Friday preparatory to another trial spin with the Shamrock I. Her mast as 1t fell over the side carried several of the crew and all the gear and canvas over board. One man was drowned, and several persons, including Sir Thomas, who was knocked down a hatchway, were bruised or otherwise injured. Sir Thomas had narrow escape. He was shot down the hatchway with a sailor and fell with such force as to break the board flooring covering the tank.
 The man who was drowned was a brother-in-law of Captain Wringe, named Collier. He was handing bin ocular glass to Sir Thomas at the time he was swept overheard. One of Sir Thomas hands was injured, but not se- riously
 The yachts were maneuvering in the roadstead under mainsails, jibs, fore sails and gaff tspsails prior to the start A strong northeast breeze was blow ing, but there was nothing in the na- ture of gale. The boats seemed to carry their racing sails we'll as they fetched out from the shelter of the breakwater, the Shamrock III leading on tack out seaward, apparently with the intention of testing the strength of the wind outside.
 So sudden was the calamity that the those on board of her we'll realized what had happened. Fortunately most of the tremendous weight of the gear fell clear of the deck, as otherwise the disaster must have been multiplied ten fold.
 The hull of Shamrock III. was not damaged, and the yacht has been lowed into Southampton for repairs, which, it is estimated, will cost $25, 900. A new mast and an entire new suit of sails will be needed.
 upon nearing or the accident Com modore Bourne of the New York Yacht club sent to Sir Thomas Lipton a mes sage of sympathy and an offer to post pone the cup races.
 A consultation was held by Sir Thom- as, MT. Fife, Mir. Ward, Colonel Sher- man Crawford, vice commodore of the Royal Ulster Yacht club, and Captains ri nd A -s1 s,-u7 as replied to the dispatch of Commo- dore Bourne by declining the offer of a postponement with thanks, saying Shamrock III. would be ready to All Der engagements as scheduled.
