Game Fish in Africa.

A trader in ivory and rubber writes
as follows of sport on the Kafue River
in Africa: Every morning at day
break we got up and scanned the
plains wfth our glasses for game.
Often our boys called us first to say
that herd of water buck OF hartbeest
was grazing in sight, especially if the
camp was out of meat. The river
was full of fish-barbel, Dream, pike
and tiger fish. The Dream were by
far the best eating, but the tiger fish
and big barbel gave the best sport.
Spoon bsit, with strong pike tackle
and a stiff bamboo rod, was all that
was required, and trolling behind 4
dugout padded by natives we could
soon make bag. The tiger fish fight
gamely, and. breaking water repeat
edly, very often succeed in shaking
the hook from their mouths. Barbel
run up to eighty pounds weight, and
heavy one can tow a canoe along
the surface at some speed"

Game of "scents.

A favorite game among Japanese
children is what is known as the
game of scents"
At entertainments corresponding to
our Christmas parties various pastilles
are burned and the youthful guests
are asked to give name to the diff
ferent kinds.
A variation of the game is to
sprinkle handkerchiefs with perfume
and make. the children say what each
perfume is. A more popular version
of the game Of scents would be the
game of tastes"
Don't you boys and girls thing so?
Think what fun 1t would be for us
to be requested to sample large
assortment Of sweetmeats and cakes
and to give each its proper name,

be mentioned in the same breath with

Breech.Loader Not New.

The breech-loading gun is not. as
many persons believe, an invention Of
modern times. There is on view, in
the shop Of Dublin gunsmith,

to the British War Office at the close
of the eighteenth century. It was re-

President Meyer Says Miners WIN Re.
sent Policy Of Bell.
Cripple Creek, Colo, June 25.-In
reply to telegram from the New York
World, Charles II. Meyer, president Of
the Western Federation OF Miners,
who 10 now prisoner in the county
Jail here, sent an extended statement Of
present condition. in the state from his
smnup0int. Mr.. Moyer said in part:
"The deportation OF the union men
and others, being in my opinion un.
lawful, the Western Federation OF
Miners will use all lawful means to re-
establish their members in their
homes. No violence will be resorted
TO, but such legal steps as may be nec-
essary to bring about the desired re-
suits will be taken at the proper time.
Pending such action, deported mem
bers and their families will be sup.
ported by the federation.
General Bell alleges that his policy
has been successful, and that ether
states are expected to follow suit. If
this be true, then rebellion is not i'm
probably, as the great majority of the
American people are today condemning
such system, and, regardless Of union
ism, would bitterly resist any attempt
TO put the same into pIactire. / disa-
gree with the general as 10 the labor
troubles being settled In Colorado,
but do believe they will be settled by
the ballot In the month OF November. !"

CHARLES w. FAIRBANKS
Republican Nominee for Vice President

No less than 10000 men and women
participated in the ratification of the
party program, and the consequent roar
of cheering and handclapping was deaf
ening. The band stationed high among
the girders OF the hall was drowned by
the tumultuous, unbounded demonstra-
tion. Hats were tossed into the air,
state emblems we're waved and tlags,
beautiful, tri-coolred, shimmering
silken flags, fluttered from every hand
as though stirred by gale.
The roll was called and the unanim-
GUS vote of the delegations recorded for
Mr.. Roosevelt without incident until
the name of New Jersey asked unanim-
ous consent that the roll be dispensed
with and that the secretary of the con.
vention be instructed to cast the entire
vote for Mr.. Roosevelt. The objection
was general and every state accepted
the opportunity of casting its entire
vote for the president.
Pandemonium broke loose again
when the speaker announced that there
we're 994 votes and 994 had been cast
for Roosevelt. A great picture of the
president was carried about through
the hall.
Ex-Governor Black, of New York
made the speech nominating Roosevelt
and Senator Dolliver, of Iowa, nomin'
ated Fairbanks.

New York, June 23.--Evidence Of .
start ing nature, which doubtless will
have an important bearing on the ulti.
mate result Of the coroner's inquiry
into the General Slocum disaster, was
forthcoming at the inquest today.
Perhaps the most unexpected incident
was the continued refusal 70 answer
questions Of Henry Iundberg, a United
States steamboat inspector, who was
supposed 70 have inspected the life pre-
servers and the hull Of the Inflated
steamer. His refusal was based on the
ground that an answer might tend to
incriminate him, and he acted on the
advice Of hls counsel.
The coroner committed Lundberg TO
the house Of detention, but later ac-
cepted $500 bail for bis appearance at
the hearing tomorrow, which was cat
lsfactory to the assistant district at
toTney. s To
Second Pilot Weaver, Of the Slocum,
testified that he had purchased the FIRE
hose for that boat, and Mr.. Garvan in
troduced evidence to show that the
price paid was 40 cents foot less so
per cent, or Is cents per foot net.
By the use Of dynamite and heavy
gums fred by men from the second bat
teTy scores Of bodies were brought up
from the bottom, around the shores
near North Brother island today.
From sunrise TO suneet the searchers
along the beach and IN the boats gath

number OF the recovered to date to the
appalling total OF s45. OF these 700.
have been identified and the missing
are approximated at something more
than 300. Many Of the bodies last
found never will be identified. because

Chicago, June 27.-A special tc the
Daily News from Chefoo says:
''Another demonstration took place
of Port Arthur Thursday. Firing be.
gan from the forts about 10 q. M, and
continued until 10 p. m. The program
was about the same as on the previous
day.
1.-THE destroyers and torpedo boats
pursued the same tactics, and an aux
iliary cruiser lay of the islands until
the firing had ceased, when II proceed.
ed eastward at full speed.
At $3.50 p. M, the same evening,
firing began heavily from the bluff,
with much activity Of the searchlights,
indicating the approach Of torpedo
boats. A little later the sound Of more
defiant firing was heard, evidently
from the land side OF Port Arthur, con-
tlnuing until 2;30 In the morning.
During that period there was an
almost uninterrupted thunder as OF
field guns and volley firing. punctuated
with clashes as OF siege guns.
at 10 probable that what took place
was general shore action with naval
demonstration. II seems as though
the Japanese intend to wear out the de-
tenders by continued night activity, be-
fore making fnal Simultaneous sea
and land attack"
