A Georgia Traveller.

Captain de Lancier, soldier of fortune. sailor, traveller. explorer and native of Georgia Is in Montgomery and will re- main here several days. He has just returned from India where he spent nearly three years in study, and during his sojourn in that mystic land his 4x- periences were many and varied. Although he had before paid several visits to India and was fairly conver- sant with the customs and language of the people, he says he determined to re- main there for several years and learn If possible some of the feats which are performed by the Hindu Yogii or priests.
 It is a well known fact that the Hindus are possessed of knowledge of legerde- main which for years had puzzled the most scientific experts of Europe and Ar'erica and 1t was only by his famillari- ty with the language and customs of the people and the friendship, a native prince had for de Lancier that he was anahled to sea records and manuscripts for the examination of which fabulous sums have been offered. Many of these old manuscripts which had been for ages in the archives of the Yogii were seen and studied by him and he says he learn ed many secrets never before known by white men.
 While in India Captain deLancier travelled extensively and visited nearly every portion of the vast domain ruled over by King Edward and his Indian princes. He speaks the language fiuently and Is familiar with many of the dialects. He talks Interestingly of the feats which he saw performed by the so- called Indian fakirs.

Mrs. Frankfurter Gets Pension. The pirpoin0ham News of yeSterday

Mrs. Frankfurter GeCs FenS1on'
 The Birmingham News of yesterday says:
 in Birmingham and Montgomery, but now a resident of St. Louis. has been granted a pension of S a month by the Federal government, and the story con nected with the fact Is interesting. MT. Frank Frankfurter, her husband. died in Montgomery over a year ago. Mrs. Sig fried Steiner is a niece of Mrs. Frank furter and Mir Steiner. who. with his wife had paid a visit of condolence 10 the widow, was looking over the papers of the deceased. He came upon a docu> ment, yellow with age. which proved to be the honorable discharge of MT. Frank furter from the United States warship San Diego. It was dated 1865. and Mir. Frankfurter ha6 preserved 1t as a me- mento of his service in the navy. 'In see if can't get you a pension on this.' said Mir. Steiner to his bereaved aunt. and forthwith he set to work. enlistinG the cooperation of Hon. Oscar Under wood. Today he received notice from the Pension Department through MT. Under- wood that a pension of $S a month. be- ginning February 1. 1903, the date of ap- plication. had been granted to Mrs. Frankfurter.

White Pass Team Wins Again

The White Pase team defeated the Third Infantry in another game of base ball yesterday evening, the score in a seven-innings game being g to in their favor. The soldiers have shown the results of several days of more or less active practice, and exhibit possi bilities that might yet tax the playing ability of the Skagway boys. The harshest criticism that might be ap- piled to the game last night was the disposition to quarrel with the umpire. That seemingly is becoming a northern habit, and it is one that could be es- chewed without injury to baseball as a sport,

THE JEWSHARP.
Its First Name Was Jews Trump,
 but No one Knows Why.

Its First Name Was Jews Trump,
 but No one Knows Why.
 The jewSharp has been with us for more than three centuries. We find in Hakluyts "Voyages" a reference to the roaring trade in Jewsharps done by Duddeley and Raleigh with the new world. Earlier still the name was jews trump. but no one has succeeded iD tracing historically the reason for ed- ther ulmE. Various theories have been put forward.
 The suggestion that 1t Is corruption of jaws harp and the connection of 1t with the French lieu" are dismissed by modern authorities as 'baseless and inept." Professor Skeat thinks that the name was given in derision and con taius a reference to the harp of David. Smythe.Palmer maintained that 1t ought to be identified with "gewgIw," ," which at one time meant a flute.
 But the most likely solution of the puzzle Is that the little instruments were first sold in England and Scotland by Jewish peddlers. Although Jews had no legal status in England between the times of Edward l. and Cromwell it is known that many found their way Co Great Britain. where their natural occupation would be that of wandering peGdIers.-London Globe.

DARING PIRATES.
At One Time the Japanese Were the
 Vikings of the East,

At One Time the Japanese Were the
 Vikings of the East.
 In the eleventh and twelfth centuries the Japanese were the most dashing pirates of the east-in fact, we might almost call them the vikings of the east. says a writer in an English jour nal. They used Junks - small ships with a scrap of sail, but quite as sea- worthy as. for instance, the little yes scls in which the Danes once ruided our own coasts or as the craft which the Penzauce fishermen have today. With these junks the Japanese roamed the seas, going everywhere along the Chinese main, ravaging the coasts, trading and bringing home priceless works of art from China.
 IL was not until long afterward that the ruling authorities of Japan, under the great Emperor Hideyoshi, decided that 1t suited their purpose to shut Od communication with the outside world and to live to themselves, trading merely among their own islands. The old Japanese vikings were reduced to simple fishermen. and the period of in- tlrnal feudatory wars began, for at that time at least Japanese would fight because they loved it.

TRADE AT HOME

The people of Skagway should exhibit their patriotism and their interest in the city's welfare by giving all their pstronage to home merchants. There are few Of the necessities, or luNurieS for tha, matter, that cannot be secured at one or another of the well appointed stores of this city, and the prices are in all cases reasonable. Such enterprise as the business men Of Skagway have shown in placing before the people the best articles in all lines that are afford ed by the emarkcts Of the country should be encouraged, and they should be tn- duced to cater even more particularly to needs. tastes and appeJites of the people by securing all the trade the lat ter have Go give.
 The city council could assist the home merchants to a certain eN- tent in this line. hemunicipality has an ordinance prohibiting the pcddling of goods without license, This license system could, to good advantage, be extended to include the taking Of orders from individuals for any of the lines of goods that come into competi- tfon with the merchants of this city, by any nonresident. Of course, this does no, refer Go the salesmen who repre- sen, wholesale houses or mauutactur- CTS who sell 30 the trade. An ordl- nance covering this ground could be framed ,ha, would be Gir to all inter es,s and afford a protection to the home merchant who pays taxes in the city and contributes to the advancement ot the town.

It Was Very EmbsrrassinE For the
 Lady Who Liked Duck.
 The canvasback duck looked very tempting to the hungry dinner guest but it was sliced into tanallzingly small pieces. She determined to take two, though a guilty glance at the plates showed her that none of the oth. CT guests had ventured upon more than one. The slices loomed up like whole ducks as they lay before her, safely landed. Was everybody at the table gazing at them? To her horror, the butler, instead of moving on, stood holding the platter by her side. Was the tone in his voice one of stern dlsap- provaI or sarcasm2 ForSaere he stood and asked:
 "How manyT'

 Everybody at the table by this time must be transfixing her and her two slices. but she did not dare look up to see. The butler must be drunk. What was to be done to avoid a scene7 Just then from down the table came the cheery voice of the watchful host:

BEAUTIFUL BALTIMORE
 DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Lost S250,000,000- Entire Business
 District Wiped 0ut-Bi99eSt Ever.

BALTIMORE, Feb. S-BaltimOre has been laid waste by at terrible con. fiagratiOn that started Sunday after noon. There has been so far little loss Of life, but the property loss will reach S250 900, 900.
 Acres upon acres Of the most valu- able property in the wholesale dry goods, produce. lumber, shipping railroad and financial districts have been destroyed. the burned district covering four square miles.
 Notwithstanding the heroic efforts of the local fire department, rein forced by almost numberless fire men and apparatus from all great cities or the east for hundreds of miles around. the fire was this afternoon raging a. furiouslv as 1t had in the first hour. At 8 o'clock the firemen reported that they had partially checked it's pro- gress.
 Several tons of dynamite were used during the day and night to blow up buildings, in effort to check the spread of the flames, but a strong wind carried flying embars across the city igniting other buildings.
 The city is under martial law. The civil government is suspended by or der of the mayor. and the streets are patrolled by the National Guard and United States troops from Fort Me Henry.
 The News-Union in an editorial to- day will say: No end can be seen at the present writing of the great con- 6agration that threatens the destruc- tion of the entire business section of Baltimore. No one can tell the ex- tent Of the disaster which now reaches proportions far in excess of the Chi cago fire Of 1871, hitherto the great est fire in the United States. The fire is still burning and with the high wind and the in 'ammahle nature of the buildings, it may b. fed for hours. To describe ln detail the fire which will go down into history of the world as one or it's greatest disasters iS simply impossible Facts will not develop for days to come.
 The main offices of the Western Un- ion and Postal Telegraph companies were deserted long before midnight, and the building in which they Occu- pied was practically destroyed.
 All the buildings Of the Baltim Ire newspapers, including the offices of the Associated Press were destroyed. The fires continue to spread eastward and southward but Is not burning as iercely as at daylight and there is hope that 1t will spend itself in few hours. The lumber district near O'Donnell's wharf is practically con- sumed and little is left for the flames

FROM all accounts it would seem that the International Bank at No gales did not exactly fail It was footed, and that by the officials of the institution. in whom the people had placed confidence John Dysart. the president, and the local directors are in jail, where they will probably remain for some time, as the sentiment of the community is such that something would most likely "happen' should they make their appearance on the street. It is said that k. \ llvn Lewis. who was the financial agent ot the institution, lost Sl25, ,OJ0 of the deposi- tors money gambling in stocks in New York. An officer has gone after Mir Lewis. IL is to be hoped that the whole crew of them will be sent to Yuma for the rest of their natural lives. The ERA has sympathy for the men who loan thelr money to home people, and are forced to the wall through their inability to collect, but men who start a bank apparently for the purpose Of robbing the people are worse tban highwaymen.
