twelfth annual exhibition. which opens in
the hemicycle Of the Corcoran Gallery on

toward advancing the standards of local
photography. and its members have had
their work ranked with that of the fore
most amateurs in this country. Its ex-

that the average in this years annual will
be considerably raised.

Jamaica

There are n good many crocodiles In
the more distant reserves Of Kingston
harbor and at the mouths of the ia
maica rivers. but they are exceedingly
wary, and a most cautious approach Is
necessary If one wishes to get close
enough for an effective shot.
Just as the lion has his jackal and
the shark his pilot fish 80 the crocodile
is almost always accompanied by a
small plover. which perches upon the
scaly ridge Of Its back and is Just WIS.,
lble above the filthy water In which Its
big patron loves to wallow.
On the approach Of man or any other
danger this tiny bird lutters into the
air and utters a shrill cry to warn Its
"chum."
The crocodile dives, and you may sit
In your canoe and nurse your rifle for
m hour without q chance Of a shot.

Manager Mccormick Of the Gold Reef
Mining Company Has John T.
Schultz Arrested.
SAYS LARGE SUM is MISSING
From Two to Ten Thousand Dollars
Stated to be the Amount Of
Schultz REGULATIONS.

John T. Schultz, well known in this
city, and as for the past several years
as an employee about the mines at Gilt
Edge, was arrested by Sheriff l.. p.
Slater last Wednesday, the warrant is.
suing upon information furnished b.
Superintendent Mccormick. of the
Gold Reef Mining company of Gilt
Edge.
The charge against Schultz is grand
larceny, being charged hat he stole
from the Gold Reef Mining company
certain products of their mill. For
several months prior to his discharge
from the employment of the company,
six weeks ago, Schultz worked as a
carpenter about the mill, and, II Is
claimed, had opportunities to pick up
mill product in the shap of cyanide
precipltates and that he took advan-
tage OF the opportunity thus offered
by carrying away sufficient to amount
to any sum between $4,000 and slO,.
900.
When arraigned before Justice Nc
Farland Wednesday afternoon Schultz
pleaded not guilty and furnished a
bond in the sum of $500. with f. j.
HaZen. James NJ. Croft and Sam Weav.
er as sureties.
Owing to the absence of Superin.
tendent Mccormick from the county
the date of Schultz preliminary hear.
ing has not yet been set, but will
probably take place ONE time next
week.
While saying but little about the
case, Schultz maintains that he Is en-
tirely innocent of the charge and says
that he will have no difficulty in prov.
ing 1t when brought to trial. The state
is also saying nothing concerning the
nature of their evidence other than
that they have a good case, so little
as to the particulars OF the alleged
theft a be known until the prelimi.
nary hearing.
This is the second case of this sort
which has confronted the owners of
the Gilt Edge property. About two
years ago Ole Erickson was arrested
for getting away with some OF the
product of the mill and, upon convic.
ton, was sent to the p~enitentiary for
one year.

The nInuer HOur.

of Francis |. of France folks rose at 5,
dined at o, supped at 5 and went to
bed at 0, which. according to a popu-
lar saying, made them live to the age

stead of dining at S u. IN and going
to bed at G p. m. he took TO dining at

young beasts on goats milk. When
they are two months old they are taken

shipped to Europe. Lions are also OBJ
kained from .Abyssinia and Senegal.
Formerly the Atlas mountains furnish.
cd the finest lions, but the species now
no longer exists except a few speci-
mems In menageries. Adult Nubian
lions are worth $1,000 apiece, while

fully striped creatures. In the winter
they grow a long, woolly winter coat.
Some full grown tigers are captured In
pitfalls. but most specimens of these
animals are caught while small cubs
and raised on milk.
The hippopotamus, the rhinoceros
and the giraffe are difficult to secure.
1t is practically impossible to capture
a full grown beast of these species. and
the young ones are hard to rear. A
baby hippopotamus will drink thirty
pints of milk a day and a baby rhi-
noceros almost rs much. Thus 1t re-
quires the presence Of a large herd of
goats In the wilderness to supply milk
for such creatures. A hippopotamus is
worth from $500 to $1,000. a rhinoc-
eros slightly more, while CRATES sell at
$500 or more, according to size, age
and condition.

will be started up about the 10th. A
large number of men are now employ
ed about the mine and mill but addi-
tional men will have to be put on when
the rooster is started. The roasted ore
is not so easily handled as the OK
idized ore, which has been supplying
the mill, and it will take a consider
able force to keep enough of the hard
rock crushed and ready for the roast
