manager; Michael, J. C. Kennedy and

ael will take part in races conducted

Soldiers for Tortugao.
Washington, March 30.——By direction
of General Miles, commanding the
army, orders have been issued for the
transfer of the Twenty-fifth Regiment
of Infantry to the Dry Tortugas. The
fact that this regiment is made up of
colored troops is regarded as signifi-
can't in showing the purpose of the
“’ar D5,}:3rtrnent to concentrate color-
ed troops in the Vicinity of Cuba, inas-
much as it is recognized that the ne-
gro is better able to withstand the Cu—
ban climate :than the white man. There
are three other colored regiments in
the army. Their aggregate strength
is 2.188.
Three Men Buried in Ruins.
Pittsburg, March 30.—A new kiln
which was being erected for the Penn-
sylvania. Car Wheel Works. on Preble
avenue, Allegheny, collapsed yesterday.
Three men were buried under the mass
of iron and brick and so badly hurt
that they will not recover. When the
accident occurred the men were work-
ing inside the kiln. .Some part of the
framework is supposed to have given
way, precipitating the heavy pieces of
iron and other material upon the work-
men. The mass covering them was
so heavy that considerably difficulty
was experienced in removing them.

sulate is at present in charge of Vica-

tified the Swedish and Norway Gov«
ernments of the absence of :the Consul.
Mr. Rayn thought Mr. Wozen’s mind
unbalanced, as he had seen him act
strangely for the past six months.

A CLAIM EASILY SETTLED.
The Shining Piles of Silver Dollars Uupv
tured Her Fancy.
Indians as in the days when they
bartered their lands for glass beads
and worthless trinkets. They are now
pretty sharp in making ordinary trades
which come up in their daily life;
nevertheless, it is true that when it
comes to a. question of large sums of
money—thousands or even hundreds
of dollars—the average Indian is be»
wildered at the mere idea. of so much
wealth. An incident which happened
not long ago in New Mexico illus—
trates this point. An Indian was kill-
ed by a railroad train, and. his wid-
ow demanded $3,000 as an indemnity.
The company was willing to settle, and
sent an agent who knew Indians thor-
oughly. He took with him several
bags of Mexican silver dollars, which
pass freely among Indians in that part
of the country. Sitting down gravely
with the aggreived? Widow, he began
counting out the big shining dollars
one by (me. When the pile had reach-
ed a hundred, he glanced inquiringly
at the s'quaw, but she shook her head
firmly. The agent went on with his
counting, and at the end of another
hundred 'he looked up again. She re-
peated the negative shake of her head,
but her eyes began to brighten at the
heap of silver. At three hundred the
agent paused a little longer. The
squaw still held out, though with un-
mistakable signs of weakening. The
agent counted more slowly and im-
pressively, and when he reached three
hundred and forty-eight, the squaw
stopped his hand. “Heap plenty,” she
said, with decision; and, gathering up
the silver, she accepted in perfect con-
tentment this settlement of her claim
for $3,000.—Golden Days.

\Villlo Talks.
"Do you think,” said Miss Cayenne,
‘that the Senate talks too much?” ,
“Yes,” replied Willie Wishingtonj
“and what worries me is the fact that
there is almost as much danger of talk-
ing too mu’ch about talking too much
as there is of talking too much about
anything else.”—Washington Star.
An Irishman went-to a. ScotCh con-
tractor several tiines and asked him
for a job. The Scotchman, tired of the
man’s perseverance, told him to go to
the devil and see if he could get a job
there.
“Ah! shure, be mi sowl, I’ve been to
him,” said the Irishman, “and he’s
taking nobody on but Scotsmen."

T‘HE FINDING 6F GUTTA—PERCHA.
It Is Sometimes Errnneously Conlonndcd
with Caoutchouc.
Dr. E. F. A. Obach says that guita-
perchabegan to be recognized in the
arts about the year 1845. One of those
who called attention to it was Dr.
William Montgomery, who states that
he first became acquainted with gutta-
percha in 1822, when he acted
as assistant surgeon to the presi-
dency in Singapore, but lost sight
of it ‘ until, in 1842, he noticed
in the hands of a Malay woodman
a parang (woodchopper), the handle of.
which consisted of a. substance which
appeared new to him. His curiosity
was still further
learned that the material had the re-
markable. property of becoming soft
and plastic, like clay, in boiling water.
He at once made terms with the Malay
for the parang, and soon after procured
a. large quantity of gutta—percha, which
he sent to the Society of Arts in Lon-
don. Gutta—perc‘ha has often been
confounded with caoutchouc. Dr.
Obach gives some points of differential.
tion,,the principal of which is that gut-
ta-percha, becoming soft and plastic on
emersion in hot water, retains any
shape then given to it. in cooling. be-
coming hard, but not brittle, like other
gums. Caoutchcizc, on the other hand,
does not soften in hot water, retaining
its original elasticity and strength a1-

'Tllanks for the Foundation.
An old itinerant colored preacher
while conducting services at a pro‘
tracted meeting was interrupted by a.‘
messenger, who rushed in and ex-
claimed excitedly:
“Parson, de lightnin’ struck yo’
house en burned it ter de groun’!"
The congregation expected to see the
parson collapse under this information,
but he did not.
“Burned de house down, did it?”
“Yes, suh!"
“\i’ell, didit hurt de land what do
house wuz on?"
“No, suh!"

the parson. “Thank de Lord de land's
