DOG DIES RACING WITH TRAIN
Greyhound Followed Master Seated In
Express, but Collapsed After
Game Struggle.

Meteor, a bSooded racing greyhound,
that was the pride and pet Of his mas
ter, Lucian Gray, of this place, ran
himself to death the other afternoon
in a siX-mile speed contest with a New
Haven railroad locomotive, says a
South Norwalk Comm dispatch to
the New York Herald.
Mr.. Gray boarded a Boston express
for Stamford, believing his dog, which
had followed him to the station, would
go back home. But as be sat by a
window and the train moved out he
was surprised to see the hound bound
ing alongside, glancing up affection

The master tried to raise the win

time he was able to do SO the train

For two miles the contest of muscle
and steel went on evenly. watched by
scores of passengers. Then the hound
began to drop back. Mr., Gray walked
from car to car, trying to order the
dog home. AS he reached the rear
platform of the last car Meteor was
passed by the train.
Surely the dog would give up then
the master thought, and he yelled a
final order for the hound to stop. But
the roar of the train drowned his
voice.
Passing through Rowayton and then
Darien, the latter town six miles from
the starting point. Mr.. Gray could still
glimpse his pet struggling along des
perately, far back in the distance. But
a little beyond Darien he saw Meteor
fall, then roll over a couple OF times.
The master got an automobile as
soon as the train stopped at stamford
and sped back to the outskirts OF Oar

The kaiser is much interested in the

ment. The emperor also thought the
terra cottas were portraits, as every
head is different. DR.. Frobenlus ex-
hibited the photograph of a Byzantine
imperial castle which he had discov-
ered in the heart Of Africa. He x
planned that most of his exploration
had taken place on British soil, but he
had run across the ruins of a Persian
city on German territory. This state

everything must be done to enable
thorough excavation of the ruins. DR.

WHERE HURRY IS FROWNED ON
Railroad Porter in Syria Resaled pss-

Awaiting a Train.

They have a curious way OF Tanag-
ing some railways in Syria. Weary OF
much riding, a party Of travellers on
their way 10 Beyrout resolved enc day
to go by train. They arrived at a
primitive station, but could find no
station master.
Presently, however, one of the
camp followers arrived. looked about,
and spying a small red flag lying on
the platform, made off with it along
the line. When a train came in the
man waved his flag the engine driver
pulled up. and the travellers got in.
Later, while the train was pulling
on its way, the guard came along the
footboard and issued the tickets, care
fully noting down the names, national,
ity and occupations of the passengers
Two stations further on they got
out, ana here there was not only a
station master. but a porter. and the
latter stayed with them all day IN an
orchard till the camp arrived, mean.
while feeding them with honey from
the comb.

Khartum.-The natives must be
prosperous in Omdurman, for even a
workingman will pay a preposterous
price for his wife. The cost of get
ting married has gone up since the
days of the Mahdi. The Mohammedan
custom at marriage is that a certain
sur is agreed upon as the brides
dowry, and is provided, not by her
father, but by the prospective bride
groom. Half of this is handed over
to her people before marriage, and is
usually spent in wedding festivities;
the other half can be claimed by the
wife if her husband divorces her
"Sudd' or "sadd" means literally
obstruction" and in the Sudan it
is generally applied to the river weed

river steamers had been blocked in for

The steamers that go up from khar-

stacks of wood placed on the bank,
and this "wooding'' is a process to
which you will soon get accustomed If
you journey southwark. 1t is full of
disadvantages: indeed it is chiefly dis

time to get on board; it occupied a
