 While Wetea was singing his fare we'll, the Ngapuhi warriors crowded round with admiration at the bravery of a man who, with death staring him in the face, could among his enemies, with unblanched cheeks and. firm voice, express his feelings in song. Pity filled their hearts, and they besought their leader to spare his life, but Hongi, recollecting the death of his son-in-law, rushed upon Wetea, and with sword hacked off a portion of his breast, which he thrust on the fire. With the blood streaming from his body, the noble youth paused not an instant in his singing, and his counte- nance betrayed not sign of fear nor of the anguish he suffered. As he fin ished his song, he looked at Hongi with a scornful smile, as he asked him: "Is this the worst that great warrior like you can do?" This taunt so en- ragged Hongi that he rushed at his helpless victim and plunged the weapon which he held in his hand into the latter's throat, and then, applying his lips to the wound, Hongi greedily drank in the young fellows life blood as it flowed. Wetea soon fell forward and died, and his fellow captive, who had been a witness of the foul deed, suffered a similar fate. Their bodies were afterward consigned to the haangi (oven) and eventually eaten. This piece of treachery and breach of Hongi's character, and several of his | most influential chiefs, including Te Vera, Te Morenga, Wharemu, and others, declined to return to their home with his party.
 The Ngapuhi natives remained some time at the scene of their victory, and feasted on the bodies of their victims. Then they departed. leaving behind the terrible scene of carnage and the once formidable pa-now in ruins, Many prisoners were taken back by them to their home in the north, and, as they approached their native shores once more, hundreds of their relatives were there to welcome them. Among them was Hongi's daughter, whose husband had been killed at the attack on Totara pa, and when she was in- formed of his death her grief was dreadful to behold. Seizing her fa- ther's (HongD sword, she rushed to the waters edge to where canoe contain ing 16 female prisoners lay. These she slaughtered without the least hes itation on her part, and while the blood of her hapless victims reddened the waves as they curled upon the snow-white beach, she ascended hill, and, in view of all the tribe, killed herself with the same weapon.

kidney trouble.
 Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
 It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ming in kidney trouble.

Aged Dress Reforme er Of Vineland, N.
j., Issues Announcements of
Coming Marriage.

Great surprise has been caused in
Vineland, N. j., by the wedding an
nouncement of Miss Susan p. Fowler,
one of the original dress reformers of
the country. She is row over 80 years
old.
Miss Fowler has conducted a farm

place until last fall, when she conclud-
ed her farming days were over and ad-
vertised for help.
George E. Fowler, of Lemoille, Mimi,
applied for the job and then proposed
marriage After long correspondence
he was accepted and the wedding was
set for the latter part of this month.
Miss Fowler taught school in her ma
tive town, Amesbury, Mass, until she
was % years old. She espoused the
cause of dress reform when it was
original in the Oneida community, New
York. and has worn the bloomer garb
for more than half a century.

Are Closely Watched and Investigated
by Large Number of Ac-
tive Spies.

Nowhere on earth is the faculty 81
we'll developed as at Monte Carlo OF
extracting the last sou from the pub
| lie The place has grown several
times over in ten years. The annual
profits amount to about &1,OOO,OOO.
It has become a huge gambling trust
up to date, keeping abreast OF the
| times and defying and meeting all
competition, says writer in the Lon
don Mail.
| The splendid business capacity Of NJ.
Blanc, who is Monte Carlo as much
as Mr. Chamberlain is the fiscal ques-
ton, has led him to make the discOv-
cry that some lucky gamblers have
been taking money away from Monte
Carlo. This is a defect IN his Sys-
tenn that he intends to remedy, as
in his opinion the Casino company
needs the cash more than anyone else
does.
About 200 active spies are employed
at Monte Carlo. They throng the
gambling rooms, pick up facts about
the players, catch and eXpel pick
pockets, track persons who eXudo
counterfeit coins, and make them
selves generally useful to their en-
ployers.
One of their duties is to collect sta
tistics as to how much the big win
ners win and what they do with it.
These gentry have discovered that
when a gambler has won few thou
sand pounds at thirty-or-forty or rou-
lette he becomes tired of both distrac-
tions. He wants new worlds to con-
quer, and he goes off and loses all
his profits at Nice or Cannes at thu
baccarat tables.
Here you have the Monte Carlo is-
cal question, and NJ. Blanc has taken
steps to prevent the deleterious ex-
portation of bullion that might very
well remain where it IS.
So now you can play baccarat. or
bridge, or poker at Monte Carlo.
They are not played in the Casino.
There's isn't room. A sumptuous CLUB
has been established, and winnings
from the Casino company's offers go
back to those same Golfers via the
club
Monte Carlo is keeping up with the
times. 1t is being run more and more
in accord with the motto: IF you
don't see what you want, ask for it"
The gaming tables now keep open un-
til one a. m., and you can even get
ham sandwich on the premises to
refresh your inner man and give you
the fortitude necessary to lead you to
lose some more money.

THE BASEBALL PRESSBOX.
Where Reporters and Professional
Scorers Keep Track of Our
National Game.

At the grounds where the professional
clubs play baseball, you may have no
ticed a small boxlike structure perched
on the roof of the grand stand. It's POSI-
ton directly back of home plate and on
line with the pitcher is the best posi-
BILE for view of the game, writes Allan
P. Ames, in How to Keep Baseball
Score" in St. Nicholas, and if you are
lucky enough to be invited up by some
of those who have a right there, you VIII
be surprised to find how much better
YOU can watch what is going on than
from a seat nearer the ground.
This little house with the wire netting
over the frontto guard against foul flies
is called the press or scorers box. The
young men who sit there have need OF
every facility for observing the game,
because afterward they must present an
absolutely accurate record OF it. II
the contesting mines belong to an I'M
portant league and play IN a large city
there will be an official scorer for each
club, besides reporters from each of the
daily newspapers. The scorers have to
record every move of the game and,
when it is over, present to the managers
of their clubs a complete set of figures,
from which anybody who understands
the sport can tell exactly what each
player has done-how we'll or how poor
ly he has played.
Watch a scorer at work. Before him
is an open book with the names of one
club written down the left-hand side Of
one page and those Of the opposing team
inscribed on the page opposite. After
each name is a line of checker-board
squares, curiously marked off, and at the
end of these on the right of each page
are several perpendicular columns
headed A B, r, B, B, S H, P o, A,
and E, for the summary. These stand
for, respectively, times at bat, runs, the
times a player has reached first base,
stolen bases, sacrifice hits, put-outs, as
sists and errors. The symbols used by
professional scorers are comparatively
few and easy to remember, and anyone
familiar with the game ought to be able
to use them after half an hours study
followed by little practice.

THE DOG WAS "LOADED."
Nearly Frightened His Master to
Death by Picking Up a Dyn-
amite Cartridge.

T. NJ Pearsall, private secretary to
Gov Aycock, of North Carolina, tells the
following remarkable story of an occur
rance during a recent trip to the north
western part of the state.
Mr. Robertson, editor of the Wilesboro
Hustler, owned half-grOwn setter dog,
which he was training to retrieve. The
dog was very fond of bringing objects
from the water. His owner was on the
bank at deep pool when some men
came up, and one of them threw dyna-
mite cartridge into the pool in order to
kill the fish.
AS the cartridge was thrown the dog
dashed after it, and to the horror of the
editor, it came out with the cartridge
in his mouth, the fuse being tolerably
long. The men fed and so did the owner
of the dog, the dog following the latter.
Frightened almost to death, the editor
rushed toward detD ditch, fortunately
quite wide, and leaped across this con-
tinuing to run for fully half a mile.
At the moment the dog reached the
bank of the ditch the cartridge exploded,
literally tearing him to pieces.
Mr.. Pearsall says there is much talk
about this occurrence, which is declared
to have been the strangest that ever
happened in that section of the state.
Only the ditch saved the life of the editor,

T HE village church was crowded with

broken only by the hushed footsteps and
gentle rustic of some late arrival, per-

The minister was just approaching the

pew occupied by Lawyer Larkin and
