For eighteen months Mr. and Mrs.
Taller logged leisurely around the world,

launch of about 40,000 miles.
They spent the first live months in doing
their ‘own country. At Vancouver kir.

ton, and oh Aug. ”the party of five sailed
on the Empress of Japan for Yokohama.
The party spent two months in Japan.
and under the leadership of a guide they
penetrated Into the nail-squealed portions
of the kingdom. Everywhere they were
most courteousiy received.
In China the conditions were totally
different. The Chinese are so vicious and
treacherous that the travellers were ad-
vised not to remain out of their hotel
after dark. Mr. Taller was strongly im-
pressed by the actigityan‘d success of the
Roman Catholic missionaries in China.
He is a member of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church and a generous contributor
to its missions, but he admits that Protes-
tant missionaries have been far less suc-
cessful lu Christianiaing China than the
Roman Catholics. The success of the
Catholic Church he attributes to its
methods. Jesuit missionaries from France
and Italy were met who looked so much
like Chinameu that it was difficult to dis-
tinguish them from the natives. They
have adopted the Chinese dress even to
the cue, and they live like the Chinese
and talk their language fluently. The
Protestant missionaries live like Eu-
ropeans, and generally hold aloof from
the natives.
Mr. and Mrs. Taller spent a mouth in‘
Ceylon, remaining most of the time ill
Kandy, the former capital of the island.
The enormous amount of shipping in the
port of Calcutta reminded them of New
York Harbor.
Mr. Taller did not enter the jungle. al-
though he was invited by some English-
men to join a hunting party. He says
that hunting in India these days is some-
what farcical. A maharajah informs his
sportsmen friends whenever a tiger is
found in his province. The beast is loca
ted. Boxes are erected in the trees, and a
fat pig is tethered within range of the
men in the boxes. An electric light is
hung over the pig. At night the hunters
enscouce themselves in the boxes while a
native prods the pig until his squeals rc-
sound through the jungle. When the
tiger appears the electric light is turned
ou,and the hunters riddle the unfortu-
mite beast with bullets. A squabble for
the skill naturally follovvs.

James 0. Blaine, the Son.
James G. lilaine is probably one of the
most knowing college students in this
country. He has been thrashed in half a
dozen different cities, has passed through
a sensational divorce suit, and has
crowded as mllch experience into his
twenty~eight or thirty years of life as
most men who have passed considerably
beyond his ago. His appearance on the
football field as a player along with ten
other students at the University of Vir-
ginia seems somewhat odd. Ilia talent
for obtaining publicity is as vigorous as
ever, and be is already a noted figure in
this new field. ills exploits during the
early part of the season were such that
the attention of referees and umpires
was turned toward him continually. and
he was put out of two games for brutality
and slugging. Young Blaine has devel-
oped ill a remarkable way. physically,
and from the pllny, cigar-ctte-slnoklug
youth of ten years ago, has become
broad, fat. and of powurlul build. lie

The most interesting question which
New Yorkers and the residents of Brook-
Imam asking themselves just now is
whether. than will be a Greater New York
It“! the people have had a chance tovots
a
swaths question this fall. There is un-
doubtedly a strong disposition In both
cities toward a combination, but whether
the majority will decide In favor of this
is something dinioait to predict. A num-
ber of leading men of Brooklyn have been
fluently interviewed, and they are of the
opinion that the City of Churches will
favor consolidation. Among the leading
reasons advanced in favor of this is the
fact that by combining the two cities a
great municipality of almost three will-
ions of people—a city second only to the
British metropolis—would be formed.
There is undoubtedly a feeling of civic
prldsln having a city that shall occupy
this proud position, and it will perhaps
do to whisper the fact that there is also a
disposition to head of! Chicago in the
matter of population. If the western
city goes on absorbing the towns of lili-
uoia and extending her limits, it might in
time surpass New York, as Chicagoans
boast it will; and that would never do.
There are, of course, other reasons that
urge the step, but this Idea of a great
municipality with three million people is
what will doubtless be the most effective
argument with the classes.
People usually look to the great and
breezy West for audacious crimes, but
New York is furnishing some that have
seldom been surpassed by the most dram-
atic of Western robbers. Only a few days
ago a street car was held up within three
blocks of a police station by a gang of
roughs, who entered the car, held up the
passengers, and, after securing a watch
and a purse, made their escape. Even
Fifth avenue is no longer entirely safe,
for Rear-Admiral Erbcn was held up the
other evening in front .of the Manhattan
Club and but for the. fact that heels an
athletic and courageous man, he might
have been knocked down and robbed.
The robber nlade his escape. A Well-
knowu broker was robbed and beaten
about the same time in front. of First
Church. That highway robbery should
occur ill the very centre of the metropolis
seems remarkable, but it certainly does.
The destruction of the beautiful l’ali-
sades along the Hudson river, for the pur-
pose of building roads, is exciting the re-
monstruuce of people who take pleasure
in these magnificent rock formations, and
wish to see them maintaiucd in their
original grandeur. Thousands of pounds
of dynamite have been uscd to tear down
the rocks and um their rugged symme-
try, but it is stated that the Slate llcolo—
gist of Ncw .lcrscy will slmn'eullulit a
plan to the Governor for preventing this
and turning the Palisades into n public
park.
The discussion of the question whether
suicide is a sin, has been followed by a re-
markable crop of suicides in New York,
some of which have been highly theatri-
cal, as, for example, the double suicide, or
the murder and suicide of the young
couple in Central Park, who \vcut out
laughing and joking to meet death, An-
other attempted double suicide was that
of actor Del Vecho and wife. The wife
was auccl-ssful, but the husband lived.
Among the papers found in the room
where the two attempted death, was one
in which Del Vccbo said that he had been
driven to suicide by hearing a lying re-
port about himself. He also said that be
ad done nothing to merit the rcproaches
of honest people except to drink. Among
his papers was a newly written song ill

MONTANA'S PAINT MINE.
Your Colors In Which the Indians Used
to Dress Themselves for War.
It is not generally know that we have
in this locality, very near the "Geyser" a
paint mine. We might. say it was a quar-
ry, there is so much of it. One of our on-
terprising citizens, Mr. Joseph Blessing,
recently took a Wagon and shovel and
loaded up with two colors (there were
three or four colors to be had) and
brought it home, pounded it with a ham-
mer. mixed it up with linseed oil, and put
it on his picket fence. lie now has one
of the handsomest fences ill the State—
ths upper part. a rich old gold and the
lower a beautiful maroon.
The mine seems to be simply inexhaust-
ible. This wine and the "Geyser" which
is near it, Wcrc discovered, or rather, lo-
cated. about is years ago by that veteran
old-timer, and prince of good icilowe,
Naylor 'l‘honlpson, who everybody knows
and likes. It was shown to him in the
first place by a friendly lndian chief who
took a liking to Naylor and assured him
(Naylor) that this was the source of sup-
ply for all the indiaus west of the Missi-
sippi River and has been for centuries.
Those were thedays when Naylor could
draw his chair up to a table and sit down
without knocking the table over-he was
very active, Well, the lndians came
thousands of miles for this paint and
used it to decorate their persons when on
the war path; trails led from the mine in
all directions, showing that. it had been a
natural centre of meeting for the red men
just the some all the wollkuow pipe‘stone
quarry of southwestern Minnesota. Nay-
lor never made any use of the paint; he
was in the habit of reaching a high state
of exhilaration at times, when he would
mount his brouco and let out a few yells
and got out for some fun—and thou woe
to the tendcrfoot or any one else who got
in his way.
At such times he was ill for fun and
nothing else, and a Gatling gun Would
not make llllll change his mind when his
neck was lmwcli. llo would then paint
the town ill lurid Colors, but he did not
use any point from the luillewvtllat wasall
long ago. He still retains his interest in
the mine. and claims he can furnish paint
in four colors, by the train loud, sufficient
to paint all creation. If any one doubts
this Naylor Would like to Hm' him. it is
a big nlille.—-'l'ownseud Messenger.
