A Fish Mystery.

One strange feature of this sea life
Of the tropics is the regular recurrence
of migratory swarms of fish of very
small size that return in huge numbers
year after year with such absolute reg
ularity that the natives calculate on
the event on certain day in each year
and even within an hour or two of the
day. One such swarm Of fish forms
the occasion of an annual holiday and
feast at Samoa. The fish is not unlike
the whitehall for which the English
Thames has so long been celebrated,
and each year it arrives at Samoa on
the same day in the month of October,
remains for day or at the most two
days and then disappears entirely till
the same day of the following year.
Why it comes or whence no curious
naturalist has yet discovered, nor has
anybody traced its onward course when
it leaves the Samoan group, but the
fact is unquestionable that suddenly,
without notice, the still waters of the
lagoon which surround each island
within the fringing reef become alive
with millions Of fishes passing through
them for single day and night and
then disappearing for year as though
they had never come.-LondOn Stand

How Sandy Fooled Sandy.

An old gentleman in a village not far
from Glasgow breakfasted every morn
ing on porridge and in order to save
fuel cooked a whole weeks supply
every Saturday. One Friday morning
the stuff seemed very cold and very
salt, and he felt he must abandon the
struggle to eat it. But his stubborn
nature forbade any such thought. So
he fetched the whisky from the cup
board, poured out glass and placed it
before him on the table.
"Now, Sandy" said he, 'if ye eat
that parritch yell haze that whisky, an
II ye don't ye won't"
He stuck again at the last spoonful;
but, keeping his eye steadily on the
glass of whisky, he made bold, brave
effort and got it down. Then he slowly
and carefully poured back the whisky
into the bottle, with a broad grin, as be
said to himself, SANDY, my lad, did

The Armeniane.

The history Of Armenia is not cheer
full reading. With the exception of oc-
casional brief periods, the Armenians
have been almost continually under
some foreign rule. Assyrians, Babylo-
mans, Modes, Persians, Macedonians,
Romans, Parthians, Saracens, Mongols
and Turks have each in turn dominated
the country, and Of all these successive
foreign Jokes the present one, that of
the Turks, has been the longest and
the heaviest. The highest activities of
the Armenian people today are not to
be found in Armenia proper, but rather
in the marts Of prominent cities the
world over. This is especially notice
able in Constantinople, Smyrna and
other cities Of the Levant, where the
marked aptitude of the Armenian in
business enables him practically to
dominate the commercial situation.
One example is the oriental rug trade,
which is practically controlled by Ar
menians not only in the east itself, but
also in many western countries.-Argo-

ORDERS OUT TROOPS
Secretary Of War Sends Them to
Mexican Border.
BY DIRECTION OF PRESIDENT
United States Soldiers Will Endeavor
to Prevent Any Violation Of
the Neutrality Laws.

Washington, June 30.-By direction
of President Roosevelt, Secretary of
War Taft has issued orders to the
commanding general of the depart
ment of Texas at San Antonio, to send
a stuff cient number of troops to Del
Rio, Ell Paso and other points in
Texas to aid the civil authorities in
preserving order. This action was de-
cided upon as result of the request
from the Mexican government that
the United States do it's utmost to
prevent any violation of the neutrality
laws:
The request of the Mexican govern
ment was referred to the attorney gen.
eral by the department of state, and
the governor of Texas in the mean
time has been asked to aid in CON-
polling obedience to the law. The Or
der Of the president sending troops to
the border is understood to have been
made upon the recommendation of the
attorney general.

CIRCUS TRAIN WRECKED.
Eight Men Badly Hurt in Accident at
St. Paul.

A promiscuous heap of 100 circus
hands was pinioned Under the debris
of two sleepers when st. Paul
freight train crashed into the first Sec
tion of Hagenbeck & Wallace's circus
train at the foot Of Chest nut street
in st. Paul. Eight persons were seri-
ously injured and twenty others slight
~ injured. Four loaded fiat cars and
two sleepers were completely wrecked.
The circus train was passing
through st. Paul from New Richmond,
Wis, to Mankato, Mimi, and was TAX
ing the siding at the foot of Chestnut
street when the freight train came
tearing down the incline. It struck
the circus train in the middle, hurting
the four fat cars to one side. The
big mogul engine plowed through the
two sleepers, almost teles coping them.
The circus hands were thrown from
their berths and pinioned beneath the
seats and other debris. TO add horror
to the moaning victims a fire sud-
denly broke out in the wreckage and
for time threatened the entire train.
The department was called and soon
had the fire under control.
The injured were taken to the city
hospital In the police ambulance and
patrol wagons. None of the men are
in a dangerous condition.

FAvORS PROHIBITION PLANK
General Weaver to Lead Fiuht
for It at Denver.

Denver, June 3O.-The fight over
the anti-injunction plank in the Demo
cratic platform is not the only strug-
gle in which the committee on reso-
lutiOns and possibly the convention
Itself may be involved.
1t has developed that the prohibition
question is to be brought to the front
and that a desperate effort will be
made to have plank declaring in it's
favor placed in the platform. The
prohibition movement will be headed
by General James B. Weaver of Iowa,
who demanded of the recent Demo
cratic convention in that state that
1t declare in favor of prohibition. Gen
eral Weaver and his followers were
not successful in their efforts in their
own state, but nothing daunted by
their failure, have made arrangements
to bring the matter up before the ma
tional Democratic convention. They
claim, moreover, to have strong back
ing from a number of the Southern
states, which have recently passed
prohibition laws, and 1t is declared
confidently by General Weaver's ad-
herents that if the Democratic nation
al platform does not contain a prohi-
bition plank it will only be for the
reason that the hardest kind of fight
Ing has been unable to secure it's adop-
ton.

One Hair Astrav.

A guest at certain fashionable no.
tel recently had a crouch. He carried
it to the proprietor.
"Look here" he said, things around
here are just about as rotton as they
make them. When went to lunch to-
day I found hair in the ice cream,
hair in the honey and hair in the apple
sauce. Now, what do y think O. that?
Is that a good hotel?'
SWELL" replied the genial proprietor,
II can explain the hair in the ice
cream. That likely came from the
shaving Of the ice. And 1 suppose
that the hair in the honey came off the
comb. But I don't understand about
the hair in the apple sauce. I bought
those apples myself, and they were

POISONED ALE BY EXPRESS
Unknown Parties Cause Death of
Philadelphia Physician.


Philadelphia, June 30-The police
Of this city hope to be able to make
an important move shortly in the case
of DR.. William H. Wilson, who died
suddenly after drinking a bottle of ale
and who is believed to have been poi
soned. 1t was at first thought that
the doctor had died from natural
causes, but there were so many sus-
ptciOus circumstances surrounding his
death that the coroner Investigated.
This resulted in an expressed opinion
that DR.. Wilson was poisoned and
that he did not administer the poison
himself.
Anticipating murder verdict by
the coroner the police soon after the
death of DR.. Wilson began an investi-
cation into his life and habits. At the
North Seventh street house where DR..
Wilson had lived for about ten years
there was no sign indicating that a
physician lived there. He did not do
a general practice in the neighbor-
hood. He had patients, however, and
they are said to have been principally
women who were able to pay we'll for
his services. The line of practice the
doctor had was highly remunerative,
for he was noted as good spender"
and he had summer home at Corn
wells, near Philadelphia, a steam
launch and an automobile.

TROOPS HURRIED TO SCENE
Mexican Government Fighting Insur-

Mexican Government Fighting Insur-
rectionary Movement.
City of Mexico, June 29.-The inter
nal troubles In Mexico, which devel-
oped several days ago along the north
ern border of the republic, have de-
veloped serious features. The storm
now centers around the city Of Tor
reon and in the country between that
place and Jaral, where bandit bands
are operating in conjunction with the
insurrectionists. Government troops
are rushing to the scene Already
1900 federal soldiers have reached
Torreon to reinforce the garrison
there, 200 more have reached Juarez
and in Chihuahua soldiers are patrol
ling the streets and the public houses
and jails are heavily guarded. In view
Of the latest developments Ambassa-
dor Creel, who has been here on what
promised to be a long leave of alb
sence, has been instructed to return
to Washington without delay.
1t is the belief Of the Mexican gov
eminent that the revolutionary move
ment now in progress was fomented
by band of agitators who long have
made their headquarters in the United
States. On this ground, it is believed,
Ambassador Creel will appeal to the
United States authorities to assist in
apprehending some of the revolutions
lists, particularly those who were con-
cerned in the attack on Las Vacos.
The request will be made also that if
any of the ringleaders in the move
ment are captured in the United
States they are to be tried in the
courts of that country on charges Of
violating the neutrality laws.
At Las Vacos, where the first seri-
Gus attack was made, the government
has gained the upper hand Troops
are now In complete control of the
situation in that city, the rebels and
bandits who composed the attacking
force having been driven back to the
mountains. They will not be permit
ted to rest there undisturbed, how
ever, as the government purposes to
make an example of it's foes as an OBJ
ject lesson to others who might join
the movement in other sections. To
this end large force of cavalry has
been sent into the hills on the heels
of the fugitives and the chase is now
in progress.
1t is the view of the Mexican gov
eminent that Mexican citizens who
were concerned in the recent raids
are common criminals and that the
contention to the contrary on the
ground that their acts were committed
in furtherance of a revolutionary
movement will not hold.

WITH SIMPLE SERVICE.
Funeral of Ex-President Cleveland o.

Princeton, N. j.. June 26.-Without
eulogy, sermon or song, but with the
simple burial service of the Presby-

buried in Princeton cemetery beside
the ivy covered grave of his daughter
Ruth. Although President Roosevelt
was in attendance, as we'll as Governor
Fort of New Jersey, Governor Hughes

personages, they did not attend in an
official capacity but as friends of the
late ex-president.

M'CLEARY TO ENTER. RACE
Ex-Congressman Decides to Go After
Former Seat.

James T. McCleary Of Mankato,
this state, second assistant postmas-
ter general, has returned to Wash
ington from his home district,
where he has been looking into the
political situation and comforting with
his old friends. Mr.. McCleary has de-
cided that he will be a candidate for
the Republican nomination for con.
gress in the Mankato district, but he
will not make a formal announcement
of his candidacy for several days. It
is probable he will not resign from
his position in the postofice depart
ment until after the primaries in the
district. He believes such a course,
the example having been set by Sec
rotary Taft In not resigning from the
war department until after he was
nominated, will be amply justified.

u Lincoln, Neb., June 30.-W. H.
Everoad of Columbus, Ind, who was
caller at the Fairview residence Of
William J. Bryan, declared that he is
dot for John w. Kern Of his state for
vice president. John Mitchell should
be named, he thought, to prove to the
labor unions that the Democratic party
ls the true friend of labor.
"The Democratic party has always
been the friend of labor and with a.
strong anti-injunctlon plank in the
platform and John Mitchell for vice
president there could be no doubt
about this In the mind of any man."

the delegates from my state, but we
