Names in Samoa.

boys bear feminine names. while girls

A Rare Prize.

The securing of the pelt of a black
fox is of such interest among trap
pers and buyers of fur that the event
is widely heralded throughout the
trade, but it is rare indeed that one
of the valuable animals is seen alive
in captivity, yet a Pennington man
has the distinction OF having a live
black fox in his possession. The ami.
NAL was captured by Stanley Savage
of Avon, who has line Of traps set
In the vicinity of Mount Blue. The
animal was not injured materially by
the steel trap in which he was caught
and Savage, after lively tussle, sue
ceeded in putting collar around the
fox's neck and attached a strong
chain TO 1t. He then took the animal
to his home. where he has him con-
fined in a firmly built cage.-Kenne-

Winchell Smith has written play

Fred Niblo plays the title role OF Ma

To Make Sandwiches.

Fifteen minutes spent in watching
a caterer make up the sandwiches for
an evening entertainment yielded
some profitable information. With a
sharp knife he first cut up all his
bread into thin slices, trimming OF
the crusts from dozen slices at q
time. Then into a bowl of freshly
made mayonnaise he stirred the con-
tents of a can of deviled ham. 1t was
the work of moment to spread this
rich paste upon two slices of bread.
A slap with the big knife pressed
them into a thin wedge and sharp
cut divided the sandwich square IN
two triangles. Sandwiches for 30 Peo-

BUBON|C PLAGUE DEATHS
STIR PEK|NG RESIDENTS
MaIady Spreads After Being
Brought to City by Trav-
eIer From Hardin.

| PEKING, January o1.-A number Of
deaths from bubonic plague have oc-
CURED in this city since the first death
from the disease here was reported yes
terday. The legation STATS are quar-
antining themselves within their own
walls, having been unable to agree upon
general measures for the entire lega-
ton quarter
! The disease was brought to the city
| by traveller from Hardin, Manchuria,
who escaped detection and entered the
city. For two days he had been in the
most thickly congested quarter Of the
city.
Northern China and Manchuria are
being scourged by the plague, and a
week ago it was estimated that at least
100000 had died. The complete alb
sence of sanitation has made it i'm
possible to curb the disease there.
Should the plague gain foothold in
the densely populated city of Picking a
reign of horror and death would be
the inevitable result. In TIE quarter
of the city occupied by the poorer people
there are practically no means of fight
| ing the pestilence, and the death toll
inevitably would run into the thousands.
Scores Of families occupy the same
buildings, and scientific means OF
ventilation and sewage are unknown.
Drastic Steps Taken.
With this tragic element of the stu
alton facing the authorities, drastic
steps are being taken to fight the
malady Public health officers are fumi-
eating buildings, and an extra force
have been employed to remove the
garbage.
! Advices from Chefoo state that the cpl.
demic has been carried across the Gulf OF
Pe-Chi-Li in junks and that there are
grave fears that it will extend through
northern China and Korea.

21-Plague refugees from Hardin are

tinues to spread were confirmed in cable

UNITED STATES OFFER
IS NOT WELL RECEIVED
Ecuador Citizens Think Lease
of Galapagos Islands Would
Be Unpatriotic.

GCAYAQUIL, Ecuador. January 21.-
President-elect Estrada called together
the more prominent citizens OF this city
today and discussed with them an init
nation from the United States that the
Galapagos Islands might be leased for
term of ninety-nine years for the sum
of S15.OOO.OOO
Those present were unanimous i'm the
feeling that such a proposal should be
rejected. as the acceptance OF it would
be unpatriotic.
President Alfaro is here. During his
absence from the capital carlos FreiIe
Zaldumbide is performing the duties Of
the chief magistrate.
Valuable as Naval Base.
The Galapagos Islands are in the Pa
cii1c ocean on the line of the equator,
about $50 miles Off the coast of Ecuador,
to which they belong. They have an
area OF 2,4OO square miles and a popula-
ton of little over 800. They are re-
garded as we'll adapted for the purposes
OF naval base in the Pacific, but so
fa- as can be ascertained the United
states government has made no formai
application for their lease European
governments have long sought their ac-
quirement, but without success. the Mon
roe doctrine standing steadily i'm the
way.
Informal Negotiations.
The question Of leasing the Galana COS
Islands, it was admitted at the State De-
partment yesterday, had been discussed
Informally between the United States and
Ecuador No definite proposition, it was
said, had been submitted by the American
government and the matter had not as
sumed concrete and definite shape The
congress Of Ecuador some time ago
passed a law authorizing the lease of the
islands and the fact that they were omen
to such disposition was generally adyer-
tised in Ecuador. In view of this fact IL
was generally understood here that
Ecuador desired to let long term lease
and the question which naturally pre-
sented itself was the strategic relation
of the islands to the Panama canal. II
is said that the informal discussion with
Ecuador regarding the question of leasing
the islands did not originate in connection
with the proposed scheme of fortifying
the canal. but was the result of the
understanding that Ecuador desired TO
dispose OF the islands under lease.

Applies Power to -Four
Wheels of Automobile

Out here in this prairie country
in the little village of Holloway in
an Insignificant looking shop is now
being built the most remarkable mo-
tor vehicle that has ever been in
vented. This wonderful car is the
product Of the brain, industry and
patience of August Groenig, ably as
sisted by his two sons. Mr.. Groenig,
the village blacksmith, is a German Il
little past middle life and he speaks
English rather imperfectly, but he un
derstands every part and principle of
his invention perfectly.
The patented features of this car
are the device for applying the pow
er to all four wheels and the differ
entail which distributes the power
equally to all wheels in any position
Last summer GrCenig completed his
experimental car which has fully
demonstrated the capabilities of the
invention. 1t can be run in sand or
mud or p!owed ground at a high rate
or low rate Of speed. Power on the
front wheels prevents skidding, re
lleves tire friction, and removes the
lateral friction when turning a cor
ner 1t also causes the fore wheels
to have climbing tendency which
greatly assists the car in heavy or
rough roads. The steering device in
the Groenig car IS also an improve
ment over any other we have ever
seen, giving easy control,
They hope to turn out two cars this
season, one Of which is nearly coil
pleted, land will be exhibited at the
state fair. 1t is handsome looking
Gear, much finer and more finished
than one would think possible in a
shop SO meagerly equipped for such
work, But the Groenigs are all tho
70 mechanics, any one of whom could
build the car complete with the pro.
per equipment appleton Press.
