Events of the Week

Nothing of a stirring nature is prom
Used in congress the present week.
On Tuesday the battleship fleet will
end its sojourn in the harbor of Rio
teresting stage of its long voyage
the one which will take it eventually
Through the straits of Magellan. Its
next stop will be at Punta Arenas,
within the straits, where the armada
will rest for five days before it heads
northward for Callao. In the voyage
through the straits, Lieutenant Com
mander Cones torpedo flotilla will for
the first time join the big ships at sea
This will necessitate altering the orici-
nal program of the flotilla, and its Wis
st to Buenos Ayres and MontevideO
will be cut out. After leaving Rio ia
Metro. probably no word will be had OF
the battleships until the report at Pun.
TIA Arenas.
In both Rhode Island and Kentucky
the legislature will continue their eff.
forts to break the deadlock over the
contest for United States Senator. The
Kentucky legislature will resume bal
loting, and that of Rhode Island will
meet on Tuesday, when it is expected
that the long-existing deadlock will be
broken and a senator named. The
withdrawal of Colonel Samuel P. Colt
from the contest is expected to result
in the election of Senator Wetmore.
The North Carolina legislature will
convene in special session on Tuesday
for the purpose of considering the rail
way passenger rate question. and to
straighten out the complicated situa
tion which has arisen there over tn

NEW PASSENGER CAR.

Benjamin F. Freeble, auditor for the
MonOngahela Railroad, a Pennsylva-
MIA line, has been granted patent on
new style Of passenger car which
differs from any other passenger car
ever built. He claims by using the
new car the number of passengers in
jured in passenger train wrecks each
year will be reduced to a minimum
The floor of the car will always re
main in the same position, even
though the car is turned over on its
side or top. The interior of the car
is practically a rotary chamber set on
substantial trucks. The exterior OF
the new car is the same as that Of an
ordinary car While the railroad men
say that the steel passenger cars used
on some lines have resulted in fewer
accidents there is no way of prevent.

THE SKULL BANJO.
Probably the Most Grewsoms Musical
Instrument Known.

II is a well known fact that through
dire necessity the American Indian has
developed remarkable skill. The cid
stories of how these Indians made
pottery and earthenware by the aid of
only the most crude instruments and
of their methods of burning and cary
ing out the insides of the trunks of
trees to make canoes are universally
known.
But even with all their skill the fact
that they were a barbarous. uncivilzcd
race cannot be evaded, as is shown by
this grewsOme instrument. In the time
Of the early settlers of this hemisphere
their acts of cruelty We're without prec-
edent in the history OF the world.
With these facts in view we can
easily understand how the skull ban
jo' came to light. 1t is known that in
the small country of Paraguay, in the
east central part of South America.
the Indians who inhabited that place
were more than ordinarily cruel. They
were constantly engaged in warfare.
and their primary aim when thus ell
gagged was TO capture the chief OF the
opposing side. When captured, this
parsonage was carried to their camp
and there cruelty murdered, and it
was from his body that this awe inspir-
ing musical instrument was made.
The instrument Is made as follow VS.:
The body is decapitated, and the skull
Is then thoroughly dried. The one who
is to perform the feat Of making the
instrument then cuts the top entirely
off. Over the opening thus made n
piece of skin taken from the body and
also thoroughly dried is tightly stretch
ed in the manner OF a drum. From the
back of the skull the two femurs or the
two bones of the leg which extend
from the knee to the hip project These
bones have been so trimmed that they
are of uniform thickness throughout
their entire length. The upper ends OF
these bones are Joined together with
one of the ribs, also taken from that
body.
Then from the forehead of the skull
to the rib which connects the two fe-
murs a number of strings are tightly
stretched. These strings are likewise
made from the skin of the victim, hav-
ing been thoroughly dried, stretched
and rubbed with rosin.
But this even is not the full extent
Of the grewsomeness Of this instr1l-
ment, for the skull is left SO that the
jaws are movable. Therefore with
each shake of the instrument the Jaws
wag and with a sharp jolt OF the in
strument the teeth come together with
snap.-New York Herald.

Graft In Old New York.

The first use of the word graft" in
New York occurred $50 years ago. A
small stream that led from a swamp
through what is now Broad street was
made into ditch with the sides plank
ed to form what is known in Holland
as graft or a canal. Three labor
ers were employed on this job by the
burgomasters, and n committee of five
was appointed to supervise their oper.
alton and see that they gave full
value for their pay. The completed
graft was turned over TO the under
sheriff with these orders: He is or
dered to take good care and superin-
tendence of the newly constructed
graft and also that the boats. canoes
and shiffs be authorized to operate
