An Ambitious EXPLORER.

Turin, Italy, Feb. 26.-The Duke of
the Abruzzi is making preparations
for new exploring tour, which in
stead of taking him to the polar re-
gIons will take him to the little
known districts of equatorial Africa
1t has been his ambition for some
time to explore the mountain regions
Of inner Africa and to ascend some of
the mighty peaks which rear their
heads in the great equatorial noun
tain chain of Africa. He is rapidly
completing his plans and will start in
a fe wweeks or months. He intends
to make an attempt to ascend the
mighty Mount Ruwentzori.

Washington, Feb, 26.-Fabulous
bait used by sharpers to rob large
number of unsuspecting persons in
oregon, The state department is au-
thority for the statement that the Ore
gonians have been even more gullible
than the ordinary run of "come-ons."
So many suckers were found that
they formed the Oregon Society of
United Descendants of Baron Theobalk
Metzger Won Weibnom. Attorneys
were secured to prosecute their claims
and David J. Hill, United States min
lister at The Hague was requested to
assist them. Minister Hill thought
that the victims were so widespread
that he again called the attention Of
the state department to the swindle.
As early as 1878, according to state
department officials, inquiries regard
ing imaginary estates in Holland be-
came SO great that the United States
minister made report setting forth
the fraudulent character of the publi-
cations soliciting subscriptions in
money from parties living in the
United states, Since then there have
been the "Anneke-Jans." the "Cronk-
heit," the ivan Cot" the ivan Dus-
SEN" the "Webber." the "Brant' and
the "Metzger." These fictitious "es-
tates," which are supposed to repre-
sent millions, actually represent moth
ing.
These estates do not exist" says
Minister Hill. THE are myths; will
o'-the-wisps, fakes. The Bank of
Holland in which the unclaimed mill
lions are alleged to be deposited, does
not exist. Careful investigation in
duces the belief that these estates
originated in the brain of some rascal
speculator or spectators, who, i'm
posing on human credulity found
many victims and fIeeced them most
profitably.
IF these estates ever had a bona
fide existence, they came clearly with
in the purview of the statute Of limit
ations passed by the Dutch parlia-
ment in 1852, by which air unclaimed
inheritances escheated after a lapse of
five years to the state. Every dollar
spent in reference to these estates is
so much money wasted"

FATHER THOMAS SHERMAN.

General A. o. Granger, who was Gen
eral Sherman's secretary. A reception
was given in his honor, but while it
was we'll attended, there were many
invited who were CONSPICUOUS by their
absence.
When Father Sherman reached this
place and learned of the action Of the
war department authorities he broke
off all official relations with the mem
bers of the escort, and had his bag
gage taken from the army wagon and
carried to the home of General Gran
ger. He later determined that this was
not the proper course, and arranged
to make the trip back to Chattanooga
with the escort.
Father Sherman feels that he has
been officially insulted by the govern
ment authorities. He claims that he
was the invited guest of the govern
ment; that the invitation came un-
sought by him, and was pressed upon
him.
He expressed himself as deeply
grieved at the revival of bitter feel
ing caused by his journey, and though
urged to continue his course without
the military escort, he decided that
it would be better for the present at
least for him to give up the trip al
together.

KEPT PRISONER UPON ISLAND.
Negro Boy Secures Verdict for $500
DAMAGES.

Montgomery, Ala, May Adam
Greene, the negro boy of Limestone
county, who has obtained a judgment
for $1,000 against c. N. Robinson &
Co., of that county, for services rem
dered during year and a half of in
voluntary detention on an island in
the Tennessee river, has only one
more move between him and his
money, that of an application to the
supreme court for a rehearing of the
ease. This application has been made
and the court will go over it in few
days.
The story of the treatment of this
negro boy, as shown by the records of
the court, is one of great interest. 1t
appears that he was sent to the island
for some cattle and then kept there a
year and a half and forced to work
whether he would or not, the allega-
ton being made that he was imprison-
ed in an old shanty and the boats kept
locked so he could not get away. The
river is too wide to swim, and he was
virtual prisoner all the time.
The lower court gave a verdict for
$1,000, which was sustained by the SUI
preme court in an especially able opin-
ion by Justice Haralson. 1t is re
garded as not unlikely that the Unit
ed States court may take up the case
and prosecute on the criminal charge
of peonage.

Rueketshops an Issue.

Dublin, Ga, May 4.-Pool rooms and
busket shops have been made an is
sue in municipal politics in this city.
Dublin has a well-patronized poolroom
and a cotton brokerage Office which
have been dubbed a bucket shop.
There are three aldermen to elect this
year from the city at large. o. l..
Anderson, J. M. Williams and H. G..
Stevens, three of the six candidates,
state that if they are elected they will
vote against relicensing the pool rooms
and the bucket shops. The other
candidates have so far taken no public
position in regard to these enterprises.
The primary will be held on the 5th
of May. More than 400 voters have
registered SO far. Those who have
not registered have until Saturday af-
ternoon to do so. 1t is thought that
at least $50 white voters will quail
fly for the primary.

THE DEAD SEA.
Work of the Salt Divers In This Des-
oIate Waste.

Work of the Salt Divers In This Des-
OIate Waste.
The awful desolation Of the Dead
sea, which lies nearly 1900 feet below
the level of the Mediterranean, is bro
ken here and there by the salt divers,
whose work is probably as ancient as
the human race itself.
From remotest antiquity the salt of
the Dead sea has been collected and
taken to the Jerusalem market, where
it is used for curing hides and for do
mestic purposes. Dead sea water con-
tains over % per cent of solid sub
stances, of which per cent is chloride
of sodium, or common salt.
The Dead sea contains no living crea-
ture.- Sea fish put into it's waters speed
lily die Not single boat navigates it's
strange waters, nor is there any sign
of life, save the isolated parties of salt
divers, who scrape and slowly amass
their glistening heaps of crystal near
the mouth of the Jordan.
When a sufficient cargo is made
ready a long string of camels crosses
the desert, and the salt is loaded up
into panniers, or "shwerries," and TAX
en- into Jerusalem, where it finds a
ready market.
Salt, as is well known, has been used
as currency from time immemorial,
just as bricks of tea are used today in
central Asia, especially in the border
land Of China and Siberia Technical

Attempt to, Wreck Train.

Greenville, Ga, May Am attempt
was made to wreck the Central train
from Americus to Greenville at a
point near Stinson, about miles be
low here. A crosstie had been placed
upon the track at the north end of a
curve, just where it left a cut, and
but for the fact that the tie was laid
at right angles across the track the
attempt would probably have been sue
cessful. AS it was, the pilot of the
engine pressed over the obstruction so
tightly that the timber slid along the
rails ahead Of the wheels until the
train could be stopped. The negro
brakeman, Rich Matthews, discovered
a party concealed near the spot and
chased him into the woods failing to
capture him. No damage was done.
