Oxford liYin3 from Can)bridc:e by a Quarter of a LensM iH 22 3Iinutcs. Prettiest Finlsb and MestDeterafncd Struggle Seen in England fijiean Bad Weather and Choppy WaterrScenes on the RiYcr. Londox. March 21. Th forty-eishth of the famous boat rices between the crews of Oxford and Cambridge Unirersitic was decided this morning. It was won by a qnarter of a length by Ox ford. The tlmeof the Oxford crew 'was twenty-two mintxtes. Tfcs race was orer tha usual courao. which stares at a pointy bout on hundred yards aboye Putney bridge, near London, and finishes aboo t the earn distance above the ship atNortnlake. Tne course, as most oarsmen know, is eomevhat like an "S" In shape. Tbo distance is about four and one-quarter miles. The conrse is bounded by Middlesex and Surrey counties, hence the stations are termed the Middlesex and Snrrey stations. In the firs mile the coarse is in favor of the right hand (Middlesex station.) The Surrey side is the best for the next two miles, and the Middlesex water is the most advantageous - for the last mile and a qunrter. This year the tide was high at London bridge at about 1 r. M. and at Putney about an boar later. Only four steamers were allowed to follow the race. These, of course, were in addition to the umpire's launch. One of these iteamboats was occupied by representatives of the press. A second was' devoted to old university oarsmen and the two remaining were sec apart for the officers of the different college boat clubs of the two uniYtrsities. The Thames coneerrancy beard policed the con so and assigned proper positions to the many hundreds of steamers and barges -loaded with oarsmen and their admirers, which were anchored or moored along the river. In addition, the house tops, tow-paths, streets and other places of vantage near the Thames, about Putney itself and at Hamxnersmith Barnes, Mortlake andotherplaces were ciowded .with spectators. As oa many previous occasions, thousands of carriages of every description, from the donkey cart loaded with ciitermongers to the four-in-hand loaded with aristocrats, were to be seen lining the river banks and the xrost convenient places. As nsual Oxford's admirers displayed a wealth of dark-blue ribbons, rosettes and other ornaments, while the friends of Cambridge made an equally lavish display of light-blue silk. Although the riverhanks were lined with many thousands of persons, though the usual fleet of barges and steamboats was moored along the course, and though the numerous styles of vehicles were represented here, there and everywhere, the attendance, as a whole, did not equal that of former years, owing to the early hour at which the race was rowed and to the prevalence of a sleet-storm in the forenoon and bitter cold weather. However, old "Father Thames's" broad bosom was crowded with various craft, from dingy to the gaudy barge, the scene being happily now and then lit tip by etrnaks of Hashing sunshine. IX WIS KIP AND TCCK FROM TUB STAKT. Oxford won the toss and chose the Middlesex or north shore side, Cambridge had to be content with the Surrey or southern course. The rival eights were suited prettily and successfully at 11:09 , a. M. sharp. As the crews bent to their work hail and enow was falling npon them in no pleasant fashion and a strong, cross northeast wind was raising a very lumpy sea. Both crews had been expecting bad weather and consequently they both utilized pretty high' washboards. Cambridge at first got away with the lead. ' pulling a shorter, smarter, somewhat quicker, more catch stroke than Oxford. - and at the Claspers boat-house the Cambridge boat was ahead. Then .Oxford bent to her work, pulling the long dragging, powerful stroke peculiar to the oarsmen of that university. This stroke sovn told, and Oxford was leading slightly at the Craven cottage, eix furlongs from the start. At the crabtroe, one iniln and three furlongs from the start, Oxford led by a length, but under the influence of a period of bright sunshine, which succeeded the hail and snow. the Cambridge crew spurted neatly and gallantly, pulling their short stroke quicker, with plenty of vim and with a good grip on tho water, which surged their boat ahead in line style. This effort redoubled the cheers from tho river banks, and, at the soap-works, one mile and three and a half furlongs from the start, the two boats were apparently on a level. y At the Doves, two miles from the start, Oxford led slightly, Cambridge still sticking to her work in magnificent style in spite of the creeping up of their dark blue opponents. The cheering and excitement vrae intense, and a dead heat was looked npon as a possibility, not to say a probability. The struggle in the last quarter of a mile of the course will long be rememhered in the aqnatio world. It was simply magnificent. Oxford had all the work she could do cnt out for her as the boats rounded the Barnes bend of the river. Cambridge was rowing pluckily and with plenty of strength, but Oxford passed over the line first by a quarter of a length amid intense, almost indescribable excitement, winning the grandest race rowed on the Thames river in many years. Oxford's time was twenty-two minntes. The betting was nominal Jy 3 to 1 ou Oxford. The race is tho all-absorbing topic of discussion here to-night. Cambridge did far better work than had been generally expected, and it is agreed that the race was the most exciting and the best contested that the myriad frequenters of the course have had the good fortune to witness in many years. The Lyrics Club entertained a large number of dramatic and musical celebrities at their cIub-hon9e at Barnes, from which a splendid view of the race was had. The rival crews dined together tonight at the cafe Nomco. with Justice Denman presiding. The eminent judge was a member of the Cambridge eight that rowed In 1840. Ho is quite proud of the good form shown by the Cambridges to-day, even though they did not win. As for the university boys at lare, they are, to nse an expressive Americanism, "painting the town red." Hanlon Challenged by Teemer. Boston, March 21. A forfeit of $200 was received last night from John Teemer.of St. Louis, for a match race with Edward Hanlon for $1,000 a side, to be rowed at the joint of Pines, near Boston, May SO. or any other purse Hanlon may prefer, to be three miles nd a turn. The challenge, if not acceded by Hanlon m ten days, is open to O'Connor orGaudaur oa the same conditions. m m Iter. MacQueary Cannot Resign. Cleveland, March 21. Bishop Leonard, when asked what action he would take in regard to the Kev. Howard MacQneary's resignation, said: "Mr. MacQueary cannot resign. Any minister who ceases to believe the doctrines of the Episcopal Church has the privilege of renouncing the ministry and being honorably dismissed. Mr. MacQueary was given an opportunity to renounce the ministry before the trial, but he did not avail himself of that opportunity. He cannot now resign, but will be deposed at the end of six months unless ho retracts bis expressed opinions. He can resign the parish and desert the communion of the church, but he cannot resign from the ministry Daring Diamond llobbary. St. Loui. March 21. One of the most daring robberies committed in St. Lonisfcr some tun occurred last night. Kate Burg, claiming Kansas City as her home, entered the jewelry store of Henry Yost. 1403 Olive street, and asked to see some diamonds. The clerk placed a tray before her from which she selected one, and croing to the door as if desirous of examining it. dashed out and started on a run towards Washington avenue. After tho clerk bad recovered from his surprise he started in pursuit and caught her at Fifteenth and Morgan streets, seven blocks away, She was turned over to an o tlicor and locked up. Lack of money she says forced her to commit the robbery. Ch-ap Method of Jinking White Lead. Chicago, March 21. G. O. Coleman, of this city, claims to have discovered a method of mannfacturing white lead in such a cheap, quick way that the trust which cow controls the production of the staple must go to smash. lie has exhibited to a number of Cbicexo paint-dealers some

white lead said to have been made by his process, and they declared the article to be of good grade, Coloman proposes to form a company and erect a large plant. The process, if there is one, has not been explained, further than it requires only twelve hours, as against sixty days by tho old method, and that no acids are necessary. The basis material used is pig-lead.

3IR. PERKIEX'S STRAGE STORY. Return of the Detroit Man Who Was Kidnaped Forced by His Captors to Sign Checks. Detroit, Mich., March 21. Joseph Perrien, who was kidnaped Thursday, returned home Friday evening, safe and well, but somewhat unnerved by his experience. He says that npon entering the coupe, Thursday night, his suspicious were not aroused until ho . noticed the vehicle torn in tho opposite direction to his friend's house. Ie then threw open the door and attempted to jump out. He was met by two masked men, who held revolvers to his head p.nd forced him back in the cab, they following. They then bound, gagged and blindfolded him. the cab keeping on what. seemed its interminable course the while, under which circumstances Mr. Ferrien was unable to keep any idea of locality in hismmd. Finally he was removed from the cab to a room, where his captors released him from his bonds and, coveringhlm with revolvers, forced him to write the check, promissory note and letters. The latter were dictated from typewritten copies in the hands of his captors, who remained masked and disguised. Mr. Ferrien was not further disturbed till late yesterday afternoon, when his captors informed him that "their game was up" but that "they would get him next time." He was then rebound, gagged, blindfolded and conducted from the room. , Their course seemed to lay over a ploughed field, after passing which they entered a cab and another long, roundabout drive was commenced. At last Mr. Ferrien was unloosed and thrust from the cab in a dazed condition, and before he recovered himself the cab had disappeared. He finally located himself as being at the corner of Myrtle and Thirteenth street. He boarded a streetcar and was shortly home, when he recited the above story. His person was not harmed in any way, the valuables he had with him not being touched. He was furnished with good food and treated with consideration during his captivity.. His tory is accepted as absolutey reliable, and the police aro making every effort to locate the perpetrators of the outrage. DIED UNDER CHRISTIAN SCIENCE. Faith-Healers Driven from a Honse After the Death of Three Fatisnts. Dubuque, la., March 2L Three children of John Doan and wife, living near Springville, in Lynn county, have died within the last week under the ministrations of two female Christian-science healers. When the first child was taken ill Daniel Doan, its grandfather, summoned Mrs. Pitcher, of Anamosa, and Mrs. Miller, of Town Grove, two apostles of Christian science. The first child died and the second was taken ill, when the broken-hearted mother begged for a doctor. The second child died, and a dugbter of the elder Doan was taken ill. Ho watched her die and then turned the faith-healers from his home. They lied on foot for eight miles to Town Grove over muddy roads.

Cregier and Harrison Nominated for Mayor by Their Respective Factions. Chicago, March 2L This city will have two Democratio candidates for Mayor. There was a split in the convention to-day. as foreshadowed last night. After the delegates bad been called, to order this morning and Mayor Cregier renominated, 150 adherents of ex-Mayor Carter Harrison withdrew from the convention. George Weiss, a wealthy German brewer, was nominated by the Cregientes for 'city treasurer, Jacob Kern for city attorney ana James C. Strain for city clerk. Kern is quite a well-known German-American lawyer and Strain has been prominent in city affairs. He was clerk of the county board during the "boodle" investigation, and won a high reputation for uprightness and efficiency. After withdrawing from the regular convention the Harrison delegates marched to Ulrich Hall, where the Harrison contesting delegates who were refused admission to the other hall had already assembled, and proceded to organize an independent convention. Adolph Kraus was chosen chairman, and proceeded to state the grounds of the bolt. He declared that Mayor Cregier and his police force had counted out the Harrison delegates, who were honestly elected at the primary election yesterday. He concluded with this statement: "We are tired of this gaglaw and refuse to support any ticket nominated by the tongh and disreputable element of the city." Ex-Mayor Harrison was then nominated for Mayor by acclamation, and the convention adjourned to await the action of the Cregier wing before making nominations for the other offices.

DOK'T WANT THE MONOIi LINE

Mr. Thomas Says His Syndicate Is Kot Seeking Possession of the Road. Himself and Banker Greenoujh Will Inspect the Property and Determine Whethar to Bay 2,SOO,000 of Its Bonds. Chicago, March 21. The story of tho alleged sale of the Louisville. New Albany & Chicago road was revived with a vengeanco to-day. Samuel Thomas and John Greenouch, the New York banker and broker, met President Breyf ogle and other Monon officials hero and spent tho day with them inspecting the terminal facilities of the road. This circumstance was accepted by 'the gossips as confirmation of the reports which have been so persistently circulated of late regarding negotiations for the pnrchasocf the road by the Brice-Thomas syndicate. General Thomas and Mr. Greenouch were seen at the Auditorium Hotel to-night and they did not hesitate to . explain their mission. They represented ' about twenty prominent capitalists of New York who were prepared to take a financial interest in the securities of the Monon road provided an investigation on .their part satisfied them that it was to their advantage to do so. It is well known that the Monon is anxious to sell about 2,800,000 of bonds, and that President Breyfogle's recent visit to New York was for the purpose of disposing of these securities. He was so far successful that a party of capitalists delegated twoof their number,. General Thomas and Mr. Greenough, to make an examination of the property with the understanding that they will take the securities if a satisfactory report is returned. "That is all there is to 1 1," said General Thomas. "Tho road is not to be sold to the Lake Erie & Western, nor the Richmond Terminal, nor any other corporation, so far as we know. We have examined the Chicago tormiuals of the Monon to-day, and will taken trip over the road with President Breyfogle next week. It is impossible to say now what our conclusion will be after a thorough investigation of the property, but when we have reached one therewill bono secret about it. There are no negotiations pending looking to a change in the ownership or management of the Monon." The attorneys of the Monon appeared before Judge Tuley to-day and wanted to be heard on the question whether the master in chancery had the right to go into an examination of the business of the company in the present hearing. Attorney Reed, for the complainant, demanded an attachment for contempt of court against 11. II. Kendrick, tho auditor, and W. II. Lewis, the secretary and treasurer of the Monon, because they refused to furnish information on material facts in the investigation before Master in Chancery Boyesen. The court told the lawyers they would be heard Monday. Must Quit Faying Commissions. Chicago, March 21. The Eastern railroads have arranged to boycott any Western line that may hereafter be detected paying commissions to their agents on the sale of tickets. The board of rulings of the Trunk-line and Central Traflio associations, composed of J. F. Goddard, L. P. Farmer, George R. Blanchard and F. C. Donald, has notified the managers of the Western roads by telegraph that such action was taken at the meeting held in New York this week. The lines represented at ' that meeting unanimously agreed to obey any order of the board of rulings to divert traffic from connecting lines found paying commissions to joint committee agents, and the board of rulings has taken steps to ascertain what roads, if any, have been paying such commissions on February business. This means that the Eastern roads will, as far as possible, divert traffic from those of their connections that have continued to pay commissions in their territory regardless of the prohibitory order that went into effect Feb. 1. There is no doubt that come of the Western roads have continued to pay these commissions, and have every reason to fear that they will bo boycotted in consequence. The Agreement with the Soo. Chicago. March 21. The agreement entered into by the Chicago and St Paul roads on one side and the Soo and South. Shore lines on the other, does not provide that the Soo shall become a member of the Western Passenger Association. It simply takes that road into the joint-rate-sheet combination at St. Paul, requiring it to publish its rates with those of other roads, and allowing it to make a rate from St. Paul to Eastern sea-board cities S1.5C lower than the rates in force by way of Chicago. Tne Chicago lines were all willing to grant the ditlerential on such" terms, as it insures stability of rates where there has been continual disturbance heretofore. The Soo is also benefited by being represented in the joint-rate sheet, as the Northern Paciffo and other roads west of St. Paul refuse to quote through ratea over any connecting lines whoso rates do not appear in the St Paul rate sheet The AtchUou Responsible. Chicago, March 21. Complaint having been made that the Keokuk & Western road is quoting a rate of 10 cents per one hundred pounds on packing-bouse products from Keokuk to Chicago against the regular rate of 15 cents. Chairman Walker summoned the representatives of the interested roads before him to-day for a hearing in the matter. The Keokuk & Western can only get into Chicago by its connection with the Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe. and the result of the conference was that the Atchison agreed to become responsible for the future maintenance of rates by the Keokuk line. , ( aBaaNaHBMaBMaaB . l The Rock Island Not Sold. . ; CniCAGO, March 21. President R. R. Cable, of the Rock Island, returned to-day from California Concerning the rumored sale of the road to the Gould interests he said that so far as he knew, there was no foundation for such story. "If those people want it they can get it by paying the price," said Mr. Cable, "but I have no reason to believe that the Rock Island will change hands very soon." Novel Case In Court. Special to thd Indianapolis Journal. Bloomington, Ind., March 21. A sensational case in litigation was on trial here yesterday. In 1SSC, J ames B. Clark was the Democratio candidate for clerk in this county, and, in his anxiety to be elected, he claimed that he gave John Gilstrap, a prominent local Democrat, of Polk township, $100 to be turned over to other parties, to aid in Clark's election. Clark now alleges that Gilstrap put the mor-y in his own pocket, and he brought suit for its recovery. The case occupied most of the day, after which the jury sat on it for twelve hours, then failed to agree. The two years having expired, ,no prosecution could be mado for election bribery. Shocking Case of Depravity. New York, March 21. The police here to-day unearthed an almost unparalleled case of moral depravity and wretchedness. In a tenement-house at No. 691 First avenue they found two little girls, Maggie McNally, twelve years old. and Mary McKenna, eight years old. lying on the lioor of one of the rooms, dead drunk, and in an adjoining room were Mary McKenna's father and four women in the same condition. On a rickety bed was the McNally girl's father, in the last stages of consumption and starvation. The eick man was taken to the hospital. McKenna and the four women were committed, and the two girls were given in charge of the Gerry Society. Married an Actress. Buffalo, N. Y., March 21.

Investment Companies Alarmed Over Refusal of Kansa3 Fanners to Pay Debts. Kansas City, March 21. The publication in an Eastern paper of the fact that a Connecticut investor had b?en refused payment of interest by a Kansas farmer, the reason being that tho farmer had joined the Alliance and had stopped paying his debts, has caused a profound sensation in Kansas. The publication of the fact of individual repudiation by Alliance members has created a feeling., of uneasines among those who have money loaned in the State and among the investment companies in the city. This is tho first known instance of a direct refusal, and those who have money out are afraid they will be treated the same way. An agent of a Boston investment company said that the story was being closely investigated, and if it was found to be correct it would result in the withdrawal of all the tnnds of his company from the State. As this company has over 55.000,000 invested in Kansas mortgages it can be seen what the result of such a move would be. P.P.Elder, the Speaker of tho Kansas House of Representatives, which has just adjourned, was questioned on the subject Mr. Elder was apparently very Indignant over the publication referred to, but when asked the direct question whether the Alliance members proposed to repudiate their debts, he gave an indirect answer, and said the people were in a bad fix and need to be protected from the money sharks of tho East who had been eating them out of housa-and homo. Mr. Elder said that while ho saw that the recent agitation had scared Eastern money lenders, he had no fear that tho farmers would suffer, for the farms could not bo sold for the amount of the loans and the investors did not want to take the lands. They were not going to foreclose as long as there was any probability of having to buy in the property. In other words, he said that the farmers could stay on their farms rent f rco as long as times were bard. A riA FOR THE UGLY GIRLS. Handicapped at the Beginning They Do 2?ot Have, a Fair Show In Life's Race. E. F. Andrews, in March Lipplncott. 'It does not matter much toa boy whether he is good looking or the reverse. He is not obliged to wait for somebody to ask him to dance, and his matrimonial prospects don't appear to suffer any serious discount from personal shortages that would send a girl's stock away down below par, oreven put her out of the market altogether. One never sees a man so hideous or repulsive but that some woman is ready to marry him, if he will only ask her; but men are less philanthropic, and so the ugly girls are generallyleft to run to waste as unappropriated blessings. The "handsome is as handsome does" theory won't hold at all after we get out of the nursery, and a little experience soon convinces us that it is a fraud and a delusion, liko that other domestic fiction about the drumstick; being the choicest part of the fowl, with which our elders used to impose upon the unsuspecting simplicity of our childhood. We ugly girls never get any drives in the park nor free seats at the theater, and as for ice-cream and French candy, no matter how handsomely we deport ourselves, we shouldn't know the taste of either if we waited to have it bestowed upon ns as a reward of merit Indeed, the expensiveness of being an ugly girl is ono of the worst things about it there are no perquisites. We get none of the plums out of liie's pudding, for under present conditions men do all the carving, and, aa one of them 6ays, "All the fine things we think and say about women apply to those only who are tolerably good-looking or graceful." Now, suppose the same rule applied to men. and that only the good-looking ones could hope to attain to wealth and distinction; suppose, for instance, that that famous wart on Oliver Cromwell's nose had been sufficient to' condemn him to obscurity, as it inevitably would have done had he been a woman; suppose Grover Cleveland's too ample iprth of waist had kept him out of the White House, as it certainly would havo kept Mrs. Cleveland out had she been the unlucky possessor of that inconvenient superfluity; or. suppose David B. Hill's bald pate had rendered him ineligible to tho office of Governor of New York, as I have not the shadow of a doubt that a bald head would render any woman in America ineligible to the office of Governor's wife: eupposo, in fact, that a bald head was sufficient to blast any man's prospects in life as effectually as it would any woman's I think most of the xniddie-aged men, at least, into whose hands this paper may fall, will admit that that would be a little hard. And, in fact, isn't it juit a little bard that anybody's destiny in life should bo made to depend irretrievably upon an accident over which they have no control, such as having been born with a red head or a pug noscf But this Is the law under which women have lived since the beginning of time, and it doesn't give the ugly girls a fair chance. A NEWSPAPER SECRET. There Are No Snch Persons as "Perry Mason & Co." Real Publishers of a Famous Paper. Boston Lcttar in St. Louis Olobe-Dernocrst. The publishers of the Youth's Companion are Perry Mason & Co., but not uiauy people outside of newspaper circles are aware that there is not, nor never has been, such a person as "Perry Mason," and that the , "Co." is just ks mythical. The founder of the paper had a name, which, for some reason, he did not tltink wonld catch the public, and so he substituted the purely imaginary firm name of "Perry Mason & Co." for his own. For many years the publisher and owner has beeen Daniel S. Ford. This man is tho one who has made the paper what it is. As its circulation and advertising patronage increased to enormous proportions he kept on managing every detail of the business. He did everything and all his employes were simply clerks. His choice was tinal as to every article that went into the paper; he made up its pagea; every advertising contraot had to be brought to him; every item of expenditure had to be personally authorized by him. Although his assistants in every department were the most able that money could hire he thought they didn't understand just what to do every time and scarcely dared leave the office for fear they might make some terrible blander. Of course there could be but one end to all this; he approached a stago of nervous prostration. The doctor ordered a long sea voyage, the patient wouldn't hear to it, but finally agreed to go out on a yacht for three days in the least busy part of one week. He instructed bis subordinates carefully as to what should, be done in . his absence, and then, full of misgivings, went on board of the yacht and was carried out to sea. But all unknown to him the doctor had pledged the captain of the yacht not to touch land for three weeks. The captain was a hearty, jovial, good-natured character, with whom Mr. Ford was delighted from the very first So good a time did the tired publisher have, and so much was he carried away by the novelty, that ho never said anything ubout being put shore when the three days were up. and when, the next day or so," his friend the captain gently intimated he was a pirate king and a bad man, and wasn't going to let his prisoners go for three or four weeks. Mr. Ford fell into the humor of the situation, and then they cruised along the New England shore for nearly a month. Occasionally they put in at some quiet fishing village, butl tho "prisoner" never offered to escape. When finally Mr. Ford returned to the Companion office and found that every thintrjhadgonelike clock-work he was a changed man. He appointed heads of departments, delegated 'his responsibilities, took things easy, bought a yacht himself, and began to enjoy life. He says he owes a world of gratitude to that doctor and his captain. m One of Grlflwold's Bright Sayings. TJtica llertld. Mr. Griswold entered Hamilton College, but during his sophomore year, owing to his participation in some active prank, he, with others in his class, was rusticated. He never went back. While lecturing in Clinton, many years afterward, be slyly referred to this part of his career by remark ing: "Hamilton College is a great institution; it has turned out a great many good men it turned mo out" . y .

THE TATAGOMAN COLAS.

The Novel and Effective Weapon Used by the Savages of Far Sonth America. New York Telegram. Next to the boomerang m point of singularity as a savago weapon is the Patagonian bolas. To look at it one would have to smile, as its appearance is against it, but its destrnctiveness is beyond question. Described in a sentenee, the bolas consists of two, sometimes three, balls at the end of hide thongs. Tho Patagonians call the two-ball bolas soma! and the three-ball weapon achico. Tho balls are made of stone and' are about a large as cricket balls. The stones are ground till they are rounded. This work is performed by the native women, who are experts at the trade and who mar be seen at work at all hours. Soui3 bolas balls are of iron, but those valued most ere of copper. The latter aro smaller than the stone balls and are more to be desired, as they experience less resistance from the air. The thong is about nine feet in length and is mado of two pieces of rawhide. which are dampened and then twisted together. There aro generally three of these thougs. and at the end of each is a ball done up in a cover of guanaco hide, not unlike our baseballs. Usually one of the thongs is shorter than the others, so that when the three lines are grasped at the point of juncture ono ball hangs less, far down than its mateo. ' Such is the native weapon of the tall Patagonians. Now. how do they nse itf Generally the hunter carries it twisted round his waist like the sash of an officer, the balls dangling at his side like the tassel of a sash. The Patagonian isnsnally mounted, like our Comanche Indian, and seeks his game from the saddle. When he sees his game and gives his horse the rein he nnwinds the bolas by a single motion of his deft hand and grasps tho thongs at tho point of union. Away go the hunter and his game, sometimes the fleet ostrich, at other times the equally swift guanaco. Not a movement of the game does the Patagonian miss. He bears down npon it like a whirlwind, the ever ready bolas in bis. hand. When he comes within hurling distance be whirls the novel weapon over his head till it has gathered enough centrifugal force to separate the balls, when he launches it at tho animal. The balls, whirling madly in their flight reach and twist round the unfortunate victim -and speedily bring it down. The choking powers of the bolas rentier it the most dangerous of all weapons used by savage nations. The balls draw the thongs tighter all the time, and once struck there is no escape for the victim. The skill of Patagonian bolas throwers is marvelous. The weapon is as unerring as the arrow and just as deadly. Experts can fasten a rider to bis horse with tho bolas or bring down both man and beast with a single weapon. The object is always to throw the bolas so that the thongs, not tho balls, will strike the target aimed at; the Hying balls do the rest complete the victory, as it were. In no othor country is the bolas used, and the Patagonian enjoys the distinction of possessing a weapon distinctly national in its character, aud even more terriblo than tho boomerang. Clever Method of Detecting- a Thief. St. James Gazette. Some years ago, in one of the cavalry barraoks, a man complained that several articles of his kit bad been stolen. The corporal of the room, finding that the thief could not be discovered, got a large tin mess-dish and turned it upside down on the tloor with the barrack-room cat underneath it Then ; he ordered the gas to be turned down, and requested each man to touch the dish in turn, saying that tho cat would mew when the thief touched it. As a matter of fact, the cat did not mew, but the corporal suddenly cried, I have him!" and ordered the gas to be turned up. Then he ordered each man to show hands, and all were black except those of one man; for the corporal had, unknown to the men, blackened the the back of the dish before putting it on the ground. Needless to say that the man who had not cared to tempt the ordeal by touch was the thief, and search among his kit revealed the missing articles. The man begged very hard to be dealt with by a room court-martial, and was let ott with two dozen lashes, administered with a baggage-strap. The corporal is still in the service, and now holds her Majesty's commission. ,- The Next Thins:. Philadelphia Inqnirer. It is predicted that salt will soon be cheaper. This, at least, should be some comfort to the people who complain that evervthing is made higher by the McKinley taring But if salt gets much cheaper purchasers will demand a bonus for carrying it home.
