THE AGILE OSPREY. A Hnnsvy Iliril and a Tragedy of -a Trout Stream. A big biown and white bird came sailing up the trout stream, his long I wings stretched far out to right an I left, lie flew slowly, for lie was look Ing for something- soni oil Ing that ho wanted very much. He was doing his family marketing. Iji in the top of a big pine tree a mile away his wile was sitting on a nest full of eggs, mid it j | was both his duty and his pleasure to 1 !‘tind*a supper for her. Suddenly he | stopp 'd short, ile had caught sight of I the thing for which he was searching - ' a dusky, shadowy shape, with an out- | line like that of a submarine torpedo j boat, lying moveless in the clear water. For Just an instant he seemed to hang pois -d in tii ' air. but it was only long j enough to change the direction of his I motion; th n down he went with a ' rush and n swoop. The brook trout saw him coming and tried to dart away, but it was too late. With a mighty splash the osprey | struck the stream and went clear tin- : dor and out of sight, while the water I boiled and surged over him. He could | not see for the commotion about him, but his aim had been true, and his out- j stretched feet touched a slippery, slimy, wriggling body that was just beginning to gather headway. Quicker than a wink life toes closed about it and his sharp talons sank deep into the trout’s flesh. Then up lie came, rising out of the stream like some fabled monster of old and shaking the water from his fentin rs in a shower of flying drops. Every thread of muscle in his wings and breast was working with all its might to lift that heavy trout. Up went the bird's great pinions till they were straight above him; then down they came, lashing the air like whips. Up again and down, up and down, up and down, harder am faster and fiercer, and little by little lie and his victim rose from the stream till at last t' ey were clear of the trim tops, then straight away to the nest in the old pine, where the wife was waiting to make them both welcome.— NV. D. Hulbert in Leslie's Monthly. PITH AND POINT. The more culture the less jewelry. Night is only a tunnel to him who travels toward hope. What some folks call luck is in reality disaster to them. It is love of virtue, not fear of law, that makes civilization. A man’s business may be a success and yet the man a failure. Don’t weep over a bad crop. Get your land ready and sow again. You can conquer your cares more quickly if you do uoi. continually carry a long face. Whatever you may have in your purse, carry hope in your heart and spend it freely. There is no law against laughter, my friend. You are here on earth anu entitled to its sunshine. What fortunes are wasted by men and women who are struggling to know those who are hardly worth knowing! Keep on trimming your lamps, tilling your soil, tugging and pegging away. You never can tell when the messenger of success will come.— Schoolmaster. The Travels of a Jewel. Fanny Kemble when in the United States years ago was persecuted by the attentions of a wealthy lunatic. When finally rejected by her he flung a package upon the table, exclaiming, "Well, at least take this!” and disappeared. The parcel proved to contain a very beautiful jewel. The actress was not long permitted to retain It. She saw no more of her persecutor, but did not remain under any sense of obligation to him. The gem was stolen from her before she quitted the United States. She foagot all about it In the course of the years that followed. A very long I time afterward she was in Italy. A peddler displayed the contents of bis pack before her at Sorrento. There lay the long lost jewel. Through whose hands it had passed there was nothing 1 tn show.

TOWNS INUNDATED — Cloudburst In Sou.hwestern Texas Causes Death and Destruction. Two Towns Were Completely Inundated and the Loss of l ife Will Reach a Score. in Addition to This the Property Damage Reported Is Very Heavy. San Antonio. Tex., July 3. —A cloudburst visited the southwestern section ! of Texas, causing the death of several persons and entailing a heavy property loss. No accurate reports of the loss of life can be obtained, as the telegraph wires are down in the stormswept sec tion, but enough is known to warrant the belief that at least twenty persons, mostly Mexican laborers and farmhands, perished in the flood. At Beville one Mexican was swept away. Near Normanna ten Mexican farmhands are reported drowned and twelve more are said to have been drowned at Pettus. The heaviest damage was sustained by the San Antonio & Aransas Pass railroad. Several thousand feet of its tracks and one large bridge were swept away. The flood, which was the result of tremendous rains that have been falling continually in southwestern Texas since Tuesday last, swept down Medio Creek valley, submerging land and railway tracks to a depth of six feet. The towns of Normanna and Pettus were completely inundated. Many thousand acres of corn and cotton land were swept by the torrent, and it is reported that the crops will be a total loss. The tracks of the Southern Pacific and the San Antonio & Aransas Pass railroads are washed out at many points and several bridges were destroyed. New York Storm Stricken. New York, July 3.—A terrific storm last evening followed a period of intense heat. There were four deaths from the heat yesterday and a score or more of prostrations. Already three deaths, directly traceable to the storm, have been reported, and many persons caught in the fury of the wind were injured. At one time the gale blew at the rate of seventy-two miles an hour in the upper part of New York, according to the weather bureau. Many places were struck by lightning, which played continuously for an hour or more. THEIR FINGERS CROSSED Count Cassini's Recent Conference at State Department Doesn't Count. Washingion, July 3. —It has developed that during the visit of Count Cassini at the state department he was discussing with Mr. Loomis the statement relative to the Jewish petition and Manchuria, not by any instruction from his government or in any formal way. and Mr. ixxjmls' remarks were under the same conditions, so that the substance of the conference was a simple repetition of the published statements of the probable course and attitude of the two countries regarding the petition and Manchuria rather in the way of furnishing information than with the intent of binding either party to an understanding Thus it appeared that Russia still consistently held ; to the theory that she, like the United States, held that there should be no interference in the internal affairs of nations. However, both parties parted in the greatest good humor, which was a source of gratification, as it will probably be their last meeting before the ambassador sails for Europe. Going After Blind Tigers. Jackson. Ky., July 3. —On warrants Issued by Police Judge Cardwell. Provost Marshal Longmire arrested Dennis Hayes and John Bailey operators of “blind tigers." Each confessed and was fined I' and costs and given ten days ia Jail. A warrant was also issued for Goidloe Combs, who runs a drug store, illicit whisky selling being the charge judge Cardwell has determined to rid the county of the "blind tigers,” and this step is in line with this purpose.

Dr. Dixon was sick with smallpox, having contracted the disease while helping a daughter to escape quarantine. The son was confined In the house with his father under quarantine. The fact that young Dixon when arrested was taken to the city prison, caused great excitement and indignation. Old Ohio Editor Dead. Toledo, Ohio. July 3.—Clark Wajt goner, eighty years old. for thirty-six years an editor of Ohio newspapers. Is dead at the Toledo hospital. He was editor of the Blade from 1856 to 1866 and editor of the Toledo Commercial from 1865 to 1876. More Bubonic Plague.

NEPTUNE CLAIMED TCLL Seaman Loses Life in Cup Defender Trial Races. Newport, IL 1.. July 3 —For the first time in the history of American footers a fatal accident occurre l yes terdty afternoon. Carl B Olsen, a seaman on the old cup defender (ol umbia, was washed from the bowsprit just before the yacht reached the first turn in the race and was drowned Out of respect to the dead man the Columbia withdrew from the race. There will 5 - no more racing c-ntil the yachts start on the New York Yacht club’s cruise. The race war also marred by a mishap to the Con stitution. Soon after the start it 1 a: ried away the jaws of its gaff an l the great steel spar, swinging forward, buckled in the center. The mainsail > was ripped clear across several times ami rendered almost worthless. The Reliance received the seven's-, buffeting it has had since launching The sea was a terrific one for racinyachts. and when the yacht reached its moorings it was noticed that it ha a big dent five feet long in the bron plating close to the waterline on the port bow. The indentation was similar to that the Constitution sustained two years ago. The Reliance sailed splendidly ir. yesterday's event. The wind blew more than twenty miles an hour and all three yachts went off under thi - three lower sails only. The Reliance with no -aft to push it and with only a No. 1 jib topsail hoisted in addition, to the three lower sails, came to the finish line from the second turn in 47 minutes, 10 seconds, the fastest 10-mile leg ever sailed.

July 3.—Before an audience which crowded Ma- auley's theater to the doors, Booker T. Wash ington, head of the Tuskegee normal school, last night delivered an address in which he said that recent regretta ble events in connection with the race question only went to show that lynch law was not confined to any one section of the country. These events, he said, tended to simplify the race problem by making it national. He admitted that the race was now passing a very serious and trying period of development, and appealed to the negre to be calm and exercise self-control Fearful Grasshopper Raids. Butte. Mont..
