Professor Uray happened along and told them to stop. They did so, and as the professor walked on Martin gav* him the "horse laugh." The professor inquired Martin's name. "Failing to understand it the name was repented ami finally spelled for the professor. "M-a-r-t-i-n," shouted the owner of the name and the professor ordered him out of the building. Martin, it. is sold, claimed he was giving the boys "the laugh" and not the professor, and refused to mnke an explanation or «IKlogy. The result was that he was dismissed from the institution.

Such of the tribes in the immediate vicinity of the Nile as carry no shields seemed to dread the Shields of the Makraka warriors from the West who were occasional allies of the troops of the provinces, quite as much as they feared their fierce courage and reputed cannibalism. Inarms, as in dress, there is some variety in detail.r

The size, shape and birbing of spear and arrow heads vary.i The. arrows particularly are often Ufendishly contrived to lacerate terribly, and to be withdrawn only by free cutting. Poisoned spears and arrows are used, but from such information atf I could gather I concluded that the danger from them wa^ easily exaggerated.

The people have not the knowledge td concoct poisons that ^ill at once last on the head of» the weapon and be quickly sojuble in human blood. It is doubtful, indeed, if they have any poison that would produce serious general effect if introduced into the circulation, although their poisoned weapons make ugly stores.

In fact, they can not fight with specifics any more than white men can, hut must rely upon their individual courage and address, in which they are not deficient and upon the quality of their weapons, which are formidable enough.—Colonel 1L G. Froutt, in Scribner's Magazine. -C .A PRACTICAL PRINCE.

A telephone message came to {xilice headejuarters about o'clock last evening, containing the exciting intellig«MH!e that somebody was shooting out at Billy Pritchard's, Ninth and Main streets saloon. Tbe police made a rapid drive to Pritchard's place, and found that gentleman bathing his bleeding head in :t basin of water.

He AVSIS asked to explain the difficulty and. answered that three men came into the saloon and called for for the drinks -that they started to leave without paying for their liquor and that be then went after them. While he WJIS engaged in a rough-and-tumble fight with Jack Burgess, the only member of the the partv with whom he was acquainted, one of the strangers struck him a terrific blow 011 the head with a chair. The fellow hnd scarcely dropped the chair winch he used on Pritchard, when Moreloek, the. driver of & beer wagon, let go with his right aud laid the stranger out. The latter got up and made his escape. Pritehnrd came out of his front door and saw the fellow who struck him standing on the east «de of Ninth near the first alley north of Main street. lie ran back into his saloon, got his revolver and made a dash for the object of bis wrath. Tin fellow took to his heels aud Pritehnrd tired after him. The bullet went wild of its mark.

The work of making the improvements to the nail works plant is progressing at a rapid rate and will probably be completed in the latter part of December. On Monday eighteen of the puddling furnaces will be started and as soon as enough muck iron is accumulated the heating furnaces will be set in operation. Of the eighteen puddling furnaces two are scrap furnaces, which are equal to about four ordinary furnaces. The improvements that arc being made consist of an entire new guide mill plant with engine and rolls complete and an engine and shears. The eighteen puddling furnaces starting up will give employment to about 140 men.

THE SUIT OF T.U. DARCY AG At NTST TIIE CITY.

Xorton, Thomitnon and Seott,tho Iron Thieve*. Paroled by Jntlgo Mack To-Iay.

Art* insanity eommyssiou wmposed of Justices Felsenthal and Thomas yesterday adjudged Mrs. Catharine Heller, wife, of Fred Heller, of 421 South Fourteenth street, insane. The ladv is only 31 years of age, and her case is a most pitiablo one. Child birth and the fact that the child was slightly malformed were tho causes of her insanity. There is a faint prospect however, that the light of reason may return to her and ,/c*tore what, is now a mind dethroned.

The circumstance just related suggested

assassVua'tion ^-following ^"ty The ^ahan pertaining to a peculiarity which he has observed in eases of violentinsanity. "There iSomething about a person who is violently insane which has always been to me a notable peculiarity.

I cannot explain it, neither did I ever hear a satisfactory explanation of thtg characteristic, lt issimplv this: More* than once cases of violent insauitv have come under mv observation. 1 bad to deal with a man down in Bagdad, for example, who was raving craxy and whose own folks stood in awe of. They could do absolutely nothing with him. He was frantic and ran things to suit himself. 1 went down to get him and as soon as 1 entered the room where he was a change came over him. He seemed utterly subdued and offered no resistance to lieing taken away. That is almost invariably the ease. A man may. be entirely beyond the control of his relatives and as soon as an officer comes his into presence he seems to realise the. fact that lie is going to be forced to succumb and therefore is lis meek and obedient as you please."

Janitors in Arm*.

The court house janitors have provided themselves with fiobert rifles to bo used in reminding dogs that their sphere is some place else than tearing up the sod around the county building. The canine nuisances have made a business for some time ot congregating about tho court house and engaging in what resembles a game of polo on roller-skates—greatly to the detriment of the grass—and the janitors have made ut their minds that it must all be stopped.
