CHANGES IN AFRICA
TRAVEL IN THE DARK CONT.
NENT NOW EASY.
Journey Which in 1875 Took Stanley
Nine Months Now Easily Made in
Three Weeks-WonderfuI Transfor
nation in Thirty Years.

Count Won Gotten, the governor OF
German East Africa, has made a jour-
ney to Victoria Nyanza and around the
great lake.. which in distance covered
and the circumnavigation of the lake
much resembles Stanley's journey in
1875. But the two journeys are In 9TH
er respects wonderfully different.
It took Stanley nine months and six
days from the time he left the Indian
ocean to reach the lake, circumnavi-
gate it, and attain the chief town ct
The king of Uganda, on the north shore.
The time required by Count Won Got
zen, however, to reach the lake, en-
tirely circumnavigate it and arrive in
Uganda, within a few miles of the
point where Stanley entered it, was
seventeen days, six of which were
spent at three German stations on the
shores. He was back in Mombasa, on
the Indian ocean, just three weeks aft
err he had left Zanzibar for his inland
journey.
Stanley made the journey through
The jungle, scores of porters, carrying
ais baggage on their heads, and six
or seven miles day was good work.
Sometimes he was delayed for weeks
while parleying with chiefs for per-
mission to cross their territory. Won
Gotten, on the contrary, made his
comfortable journey in a well-appoint-
ed train and was only two days in
reaching the lake. The actual time
of travel, in fact, was only twenty-four
hours; for trains on the Uganda rail-
road do not yet travel in the night
time.
Stanley made his way around the
shores of the lake in small boats row
ed by his black men. Several times
the lives CT the whole party were i'm.
periled by storms that came near
swapping the boats. But the German
governor stepped from the train at
Port Florence to the deck of fine
and swift little steamer that carried
him clear around the lake. He de-
scribes the steam voyage as one of
his pleasantest experiences in Africa.
Now and then Stanley was attacked
by islanders in the lake, who had new
err card of white men before and
were bent on the destruction of the ex-
p,orer's party. Many persons still re-
member the hue and cry that was
raised in England when the news
came of SANKEY'S fight with the ma
tives of one of the islands. The fact
is, not a man of his party would have
escaped if he had not used his guns.
The German governor. on the other
hand, was received at the three Ger
man stations which he visited and at
the capital of British Uganda with
cannon salutes, speeches, banquets
and fireworks. Those we're festival
days at Schirati, 'Muansa, Bukoba and
Entebbe, for it was the first time that
4 governor of German East Africa had
visited the 700 miles of German coast
line around the southern half OF the
lake.
Thirty years have wrought this won
derful transformation, and it is only
fortyfive years since Speke,3 the dis
coverer of Victoria Nyanza, cropping
his way through unknown countries
and unfriendly tribes, was one year
and four and half months in reach.

Nickname Sticks to Coins.

The standard silver coins being
used in the Philippines are known
as "Conants," having been named for
Charles A. Conant, who was sent to
the islands to prepare a coinage sys-
tenn. The authorities in Washington
objected to this nickname and direct
ed that the coins should be known as
Philippine currency. Before this order
arrived they were universally called
"Conants," and Notwithstanding the
official mandate the name has stuck

Hardware Store Burelarized,

Last Saturday night some person or
persons broke into W. W. YOung's
hardware store, opened the safe, the
combination OF which WAS not set. and
stole il check and about thirty dollars
in money. The check was drawn by
Fuller Bros. for S1'.55: it was written
on a green blank and was dated Sep.
tembcr 23, 1905. The money was di-
vded into one $1,000 bill, two $500

breaking out two window glass in the
south window and slipping the window
