seemed that. such compact was
probable Senator Cummins came to
the front with an objection. After
Mr.. Cummins' objection had been
recorded and Mr.. Aldrich had called
for a vote, it looked as if he would
be disappointed. Senator Frazier,
who has been supporter of the in
come tax amendment and an oppo-
nent of the corporation tax, was alb
sent from the chamber on account
of illness. Desiring that he should
be present when the vote was taken,
Mr.. Bailey took the floor and an

it until Mr.. Frazier could make his
appearance. Mr.. Frazier soon came
in and thereupon the Texas senator

Catching a Gorilla.

Capt Fritz Duquesne, the Boer ivory
hunter, was commissioned by German
naturalist society to capture one Of
each species Of African quadrumana.
He was entirely successful in the work,
except that he could obtain no gorilla,
he writes under the title Hunting
Ahead Of Roosevelt in East Africa"
Finally a pigmy pointed out a portion
Of the dank jungle in which a gorilla
had been seen.
For four days." continues the cap
tain, I'VE camped in this hotbed Of dis
ease. Beaters went out in all direc-
tions searching for the gorilla. At last
some deep, wide scratches were found
on a cluster Of vines. On close exami-
nation the unmistakable hair Of the
gorilla was found on a broken twig.
After some hours we found the tree
where the gorilla lived. We could tell
1t by the greasy appearance OF the
bark, made so by the repeated rubbing
Of the gorilla'5 body. We could tell
by the fresh marks, with sap still wet,
that the animal had recently ascended
the tree. The scratches were short and
deep. showing that it had lifted itself
up and not slid down, which would
have made a long, shallow scratch.
I'VE spread a strong net around the
tree in a circle sloping upward on the
outer side. Around the top Of the net
there were drawn ropes from four d.
rections held by half a dozen natives
hidden in the BUSH These were to
bring the top Of the net together and
thus bag our game.
After waiting some hours the leaves
above rustled and then opened as a
six foot male gorilla descended unsus-
pectingly and entered the trap. / Sig
nailed, the four ropes were pulled at
once and we had our animal-for a
moment. He roared in fury, twisting,
jumping and biting the rope into
pieces. The natives were pulled about
like dolls as he tried to reach first one
and then another The professor jump
ed about in excitement, trying to focus
a camera on the infuriated animal.
"At last the mighty arms Of the gor-
lila broke a hole through the net and
he tore the rest from him as though 1t
were rotten rag. Most Of the natives
fled in dismay. The professor dropped

his camera and tried to escape; In a
moment the gorilla grasped him in its
terrible hands.
Il seized my rifle and fired in the air
to frighten the animal. In my position
could not shoot at him without hit
ting my friend. For a moment the
gorilla stood still, holding the now un-
conscious man as though he were a
baby, the brute's lips drawn back from
his glistening teeth.
II thrust another cartridge In my RI
fie. AS did so, there was buzz in the
air, and an arrow shot by native
pierced the gorilla's side. A roar burst
from his red throat and he dropped his
victim. Like q fash, before I could
shoot, native sprang from the leaves.
and half throwing, half thrusting, drove
an assagi into the gorilla's heart. With
q groan the brute fell dead.
Examining the professor found
that his right arm was broken and that
some of his ribs were crushed into his
lung. We gave up the effort to get
live gorilla, and placing the injured
man in hammock, carried him back
toward the east coast. He died on the
road.
"Out on the veldt beside a native
village, lonely little slab marked
Carl Bloch sticks up above the grass.
1t is the professors grave. Hunting Is
not all exciting adventure and laugh
ing victory. 1t has Its tears like 9TH
er things."-Hampton's Magazine. -

TOLD OF RUSSIANS.
Subjects of the Gar Arc Strangely In
consistent.

Subjects of the Gar Are Strangely In
consistent.
No one can be long associated with
Russians without reaching a condition
Of utter amazement at the extraordi-
nary inconsistency Of their mental
makeup. The kindest Of men seem to
receive placidly the most bloodhound
ling doctrines; they enforce the cruel
est Of laws in the gentlest way or vice
versa. They are perfectly charming to
individuals in groups Of two or three
and utterly bloodthirsty to exactly SIM
liar individuals in groups Of twenty or
thirty. Certain Jews after great mas
sacres have testified that peasants have
said to them: Poor brothers, we must
kill you!" An odd tale, illustrating
their queer ideas Of discipline, Is told
by a revolutionist who has just come
to this country. BY those who ought
to know, it Is said to be typical OF a
singular simplicity Of mind which Is
also said to be peculiar to the Rus
slams.
The follower of Tolstoy was called
on for military service. He presented
himself to the army officers as requir-
ed and explained that he could not
serve because of his beliefs.
"Ah," said the officer in charge po-
Iitely, but you understand that this
means prison?"
"Of course"
You will be sent" continued the
officer, ito the Caucasus" naming a
prison Of dreadful repute. THE guard
will have to start at once with you.'
He turned to several other officers
and discussed the matter Of the guard
for a few minutes. Then he had a
happy thought.
why send a guard at ALL" he said.
YOU" turning to the young man, you
can find your way there alone, can't
you?"
Yes"
We'll, then, that saves a lot Of trou-
ble," exclaimed the officers, delighted.
So they wrote him a careful letter OF
introduction to the governor Of the
prison, explaining that the bearer was
to be locked up as soon as he arrived,
in a most unpleasant cell.
That's all right" they said in great
satisfaction. I'VE hope your journey
won't be too tiresome." And they
parted with great cordiality.
The young man did as he was told
and Is now in prison. The chances are
probably even that he and the govern
or will become sincere friends or that
an order to put him to death will ar
rive and be executed in the same i'm
personal, eminently Russian manner.

THE EVER PICTURESQUE SEINE.
With Its Bridges and Quays, II is the
Most Distinctive Street of Paris.

With lts Bridges and Quays, 1t 10 the
Most Distinctive Street of Paris.
We have heard almost too much Of
the streets Of Paris, and not enough Of
that street most distinctive of all-the
River Seine. Flowing Through the
city for six miles, it Is a highway, with
its bateaux mouches, Its bridges and
quays. OF dark night thesSeine may
seem to lugubrious fancy the symbol
Of death in the city's life abounding;
murly death and inky crime, oozy and
silent wickedness. Yet normally, even
perhaps to suicides, the Seine is but the
mirror Of a city's mood. There are
ligfits everywhere-lights heightened In
the water; the Louvre and the Con-
ciergerie, shown in the stream, are
things fairer than their originals. 1t
is better to look upon the eddying re-
Elections Of the bridges here than to
stand in the Place de Ia Concorde,
bright with its orange lamps in honor
of an auto show; the lights on the
Seine and its images are more allurins,
more innately of Fairyland and Paris,
than the gilded boulevards.
Nor is 1t only in the moonlight that
the Seine has charms. The holiday
sculler finds 1t a paradise for miles
above the city; and there are ever such
fishermen as Maupassant's Renard.
Line fishing is more than a mild sport
at Paris; even to watch its devotees
seems to amuse your true Partisan. A
legend tells us that the Commune days,
when the Hotel de Vile was fired on
and dark page written in the city's
history, the Seine fishermen pursued
their pastime imperturbale. And the
tale seems likely enough, as the saun-
terer watches the fisher folk, whose
leisure may be envied more than their
occupation; and who are found not on
the city quays alone, but in the ban
dabbed with villages in brown and red
and gray, and where one stops to watch
the peasants bathe their horses In the
stream itself, rubbing them down soon
afterward by the rivers brink. With
in the city, there are the men who clip
poodles on the quays, and, higher, book
and picture stalls with their merchants
and shifting groups Of bargain hunters

riverside for old.-May Scribner.

5000 WORTH OF KNOWLEDGE.
This Stamp Collector Recognized q
Variety When He Saw Il.


Variety When He Saw II.
Through his intimate knowledge OF
United States postage stamps Phila-
delphia collector was enabled the other
day to make a quick profit Of over $6,-
900 on a small lot Of envelopes bear
ing ordinary looking stamps to which
the average person would have paid
little attention.
The collector was passing the house
of a man who handled curiosities OF
various kinds, when the dealer called
him in to take q look at nine stamped
envelopes. The dealer said he knew
nothing about stamps and would like
to know what the collector would give
for them.
zone hundred dollars apiece, or $500
for the lot Of nine pieces" came the !.
prompt reply Of the collector.
"Oh, I don't want to stick you" said
the dealer. II offered these Identical
stamps to a well known stamp dealer
here in town for $35 each and he re-
piled he would give only S25 apiece"
Never you mind" said the collector.
1.-THE nine hundred goes, and I'm glad
to have the chance"
The envelopes or letters had been
sent from Baltimore In the 40s. Five
of them bore two stamps, while the
other four had only single stamp each.
The letters were written before the
United States adopted the adhesive
postage stamp and at time when the
postmaster Of each large city issued his
own stamps. The postmaster Of Bal
timore at this time was Jarhes N.
Buchanan.
Postmaster Buchanan issued five and
ten cent adhesive stamps and series
of five and ten cent stamped envel-
opes. The stamps on the envelopes
showed large figure "5" or 10" sur
rounded by a circle. Above was the
word Paid" and above that the name
of the postmaster in full, James M.
Buchanan" This signature was plac-
ed upon each envelope with a hand
stamp.
Two colors were used-red and blue
the stamps appearing on paper OF
different colors. Sometimes, properly
on account of the scarcity Of the regu-
lar ten cent stamp, two Of the fives
were used on one envelope to make up
the sum of 10 cents. These were called
compounds, and the collector In ques-
ton in his lot Of nine envelopes OBJ
tanned five of these compounds, all OF
which are very rare. OF the ten cent
red stamped envelopes Of straight de-
nomination only two specimens are
known to exist.
The collector had no difficulty In dis
posing Of his stamps for $1,000, and
still has in his possession a specimen
of the compound envelope which Is
easily worth $500.
From what can be learned these ear
ly envelopes with hand stamped Sig
natures were issued In the latter part
of 1S45 for the first time. There Is also
on record a copy Of the envelope with.
the autograph signature Of Postmaster
Buchanan.

Der. Allow me to interview that per-
son for a few moments"
Martin has just driven Mrs. Steele

Kitchen" replied Rivers placidly. "She
cannot possibly reach home till night
fall"
Heron looked straight down at the
floor.
Il regret the absence Of Mrs. Steele
at this particular moment. When she
returns, say to her that today l have
made Hazel Ferrers's cause my own
that she is no longer alone and unpro-
tected-that those who have maligned
and injured her must now answer to
me-"
The setting sun, aslant through the
drawing room window, fell redly on his
spare, sinewy figure and lean, dark
face. For once Heron looked impos-
ing. The colonel put on an air, half
puzzled, half conciliatory.
Il cannot quite follow you, Heron.
Mrs. Steele carries no duplicate keys,
for such things are not known at
Wolfsden. AS for investigating this
case, my dear fellow, you can rely upon

housekeeper, my servants, my guests,
myself-all are at your service. We
will cheerfully appear before any court
of inquiry to which you may summon
Us. Consider me your friend, and ally
IN the matter Here is my hand upon
IT,"
But Heron, unappeased, drew coldly
back.
Il decline to take your hand, sir! We
are not, and never can be, friends!"
The two ladies regarded Heron with
open Indignation. 1t was the good for
tune of Pitt Rivers always to find in
women his warmest supporters.
How churlish Of you, Mr.. Heron!'
bristed Miss Carbury. Depend upon
it, you are greatly deceived! That girl
has somehow inveigled you into mar
riage, and persuaded you to believe her
guiltless. She Is handsome. and we all
know the power of beauty. But when
YOU talk of plots in this house-undeI
my nose-under the nose of Colonel
Rivers-oh, that is too absurd for be-
lief, you know! And when you Insult
and abuse our estimable colonel to his
FACET is really more than can bear"
Il too, am cut to the heart" exclaim-
ed Mrs Van Vert, in g. tragic tone.
Positively the whole affair grows more
scandalous every moment. Berate me,
Mr.. Heron-call me all sorts Of dread
full names, If you like, but spare-spare

anew.
Heron moved toward the door He

to know it.
1.-The assertions which l have made

Miss Carbury gave g scornful sniff.
Herons hand was on the door KNOB,
when the colonel with playful irony,
asked:
"At what time, Mr.. Heron, may we
confidently look for your proofs?
Suddenly, and with great Violence

SOME PIRATES STILL.
Chinese Waters Not Yet Free From
Briqands of the Sea.

Chinese Waters Not Yet Free From
Brieands of the Sea.
Captain Lewis B. Nichols Of New
York, is an old seafarer who has trav-
eled on every ocean and waterway of
the world.
Being asked by Washington Herald
reporter whether there were still pi-
rates plying their trade, the seadog
grimly smiled and said that they swarm
the rivers and canals Of China, and
sometimes venture upon the adjacent
high seas. 'Tn Chinese waters coast
wise vessels, whether sail or steam,
are never safe from sudden attacks;
while the smaller and more shallow
river vessels are captured and exploited
in certain sections almost at will. or
recent years French, English and ma
tive gunboats have cruised the coast
and explored the rivers and harbors in
search of the marauders. But their
depredations continue. Only q few
weeks ago a series Of piratical outrages
on the Grand Canal were reported.
1T hasn't been so long since Chinese
pirates infested the seas along the coast
of that country and ventured far from
land in their unlawful enterprises. The
Chinese pirates travel in long, swift
river junks. Their favorite trick Is to
await the coming Of the night in one
of the lagoons Of the Canton delta, and
then slip up to laden boat as it push
es it's way slowly up the river, board 1t
and slay the crew. Then the boat dis
appears from the register Of the far
eastern trade and her goods are never
more seen by the owners.
There are many reasons why the
pirate remains on the Chinese coast
line and in the interior. Almost every
Pacific ocean port has its quota Of SOL
diers Of fortune, but most Of these are
now gathered at Chinese ports. They
organize raids, plan piracies and en-
gage in a virtual war against the ma
tives, but they are careful to employ
native cutthroats and marauders to
carry out their plans.
"Oh, yes, the Chinese government is
cleaning them all out, and 1t won't
take much longer before this romantic
calling Of piracy will also disappear
from everyday life in China"
