The road is being operated the year

ore to the Atlantic for shipment The
station may thus easily be reached at
any season of the year.
1t has been erected at the little set
tlemert of Massijaure, only a mile
and half from the Norwegian boun-
dary Here scientific men will have
their first opportunity to investigate
polar phenomena under comfortable
conditions and at small expense.
In summer they will be engaged
chiefly with geological and biological
researches, while meteorological, mag
netic and other studies fitting the
times will occupy them in winter The
experts in natural history who will
occupy the station next summer Will
be the geologist Westergren, the en-.
tomologist Haalund. the botanist Ro
man and an expert in forestry.
The money to build the station was
contributed by a wealthy man OF
Stockholm, and funds for it's mainte-

The station is on the threshold OF
Lapland, which is still almost un'

to reach it. with supplies adequate for
a long journey. Tie railroad ard sta

BLOOD HOUNDS CHASE NEGRO.
Sheriff Gould and Posse Have Exciting
Chase Through Swamps.

Sheriff James Gould this morning
brought Sam Thomas, a levee negro,
to this city and lodged him in the
county Jail under the charge of assault
with intent to kill, which may be
changed later to murder, in case his
victim dies. Thomas, who is strange
negro in Arkansas, having come from
the levee districts of New Orleans,
went after fellow workman with
big A Colts revolver while both men
were working on the construction OF
the Frencntown levee near the Ar
<irews place yesterday morning. Thorn
as claims that the other negro alien
wanted revenge. Just the minute he
saw the negro yesterday morning. he
opened fire and came very near to
killing his man on sight. Thomas
then broke and ran and Mr.. Lewis.
the overseer, telephoned for Mr. Gould
and the blood hounds. 1t was feared
the Louisiana negro would lay in wait
for his victim and shoot at him from
ambush.
Mr.. Gould left on the II o'clock train
and was met at the station by man
with the county blood hounds. Arriv-
ing at the scene Of the shooting, the
hounds We're put on the trail and soon
got the right trail. Thomas was hid
ing in the cane brake and did not run
until the hounds sprung his trail and
started after him. When once he did
get started he gave The officers a
lively chase. He took to the swamps
and cane breaks which surrounded the
place and had it not been for rhe dogs.

ran for fully thirty minutes and dur
that time covered nearly three miles
OF ground. When captured. he was
thoroughly exhausted and could run no
further. He admitted being the man
who did the shooting and said he was
only sorry that he did not kill his man
He said he was waiting around in
hopes of getting another shot at the
negro. Sheriff Gould brought him tc
the city this morning and lodged him
in the county Jail. The name OF the
negro who was shot could not be
learned. Thomas is a strange negro
but it is understood he has previously
borne bad reputation.

Schwab's fa,at.aI Home.

Speculation as to what Charles Nj,
Schwab intends to do with his
palatial mansion at Seventy-fourth
street, and Riverside drive, New York,
after it is finished is increased by
the intimation conveyed in a letter
from Paris that he intends to have a
grand opening" just like the open
ing" of public hall. with tire diff
ference that champag gne will be sup
piled from silver buckets instead OF
from bottles. The nearer the massive
pile approaches completion the more
marvellous its possibilities for enter
tainment appear. The Venetian
courtyard, with it's White marble
coping. is almost ready for the
gardener, and it is Quite likely that
by June the flower scheme will be
under way. There is a vast amount
of work yet to be done, however, be-
fore the interior decorations can be
begun. When the house is ready for
occupancy it will be the most gore
geous in architecture on the American
continent.

sisted that he must return to his quar-.
ters. This. his guards replied, was
impossible. You are about to be

back and fetch my umbrella His
guards looked at him for moment.
then forthwith liberated him. None
but an Englishman could be such a
hopeless fool, they said. Lord Play
fair was once in a similar predica-
ment. AS a proc Of his identity he
handed over a letter from Lord Pal
merston. The guard could not read it,
but accepted it as good enough. AS
a matter Of fat it contained Palmer

tain all he could about the French mil.

CENTRAL OPERA HOUSE,

At the time Lajoie end Sando W
Meltes were members of the Phila-
delphia baseball team, one of the en-
terpiisiae Journals st Up catalogue
OF the various men playing the Ma
tional game, giving the nationality Of
each OF the great members represent
ed. With the same object in view and
to satisfy general curiosity, the man
agement of the ',Strollers' Company
has prepared similar table and of
tbe sixty members Of that organiZa-
ton there are represented no less than
a dozen of the civilized nations. We
have IS Americans, eight English,
eight Irish, six Germans, one Span
lard, one French, six Danes, two Rus
slams, one Cuban, two Scotch,
and one African. Besides this nearly
every religion known in the United
States is represented from the Atheist
to the Hixite Quaker, and taking the
family lineage of the members OF the
Company, nearly every known pro-
fession and business industry is re
presented.
In the days of our childhood we
have often heard school room liken-
ed to little world and from the
foregoing: it is easily seen that the
stage, esoecially that OF modern
opera company, is equally represent
tative. Just imagine, instead of ad-
vertising an all star cast to have
your heralds read "All-Nationality"
Op1G,. I4outc, OF a "Nor- Se1tarian'
Opera Company. In this world of
unique advertising, it will be hard to
tell what methods will next be pur-
sued by the management of The
Strollers, " whom can certainly, with
out straining point, or even Dor
rowing Baron Munchausents laurels,
advertise their All Star cast in the
Strollers, including a company OF
All Nations.
