I am pretty certain tiuit we will go to Honolulu and there wait for the Iowa lo be repaired, when she will come out and relieve ua. If she doesn't gat through in time we will have to go to Manila. I had a forty-eight hours' liberty in Callao. I was up to Lima, and went all through that great cathe dral I have heard so much about. It is a grand thing. All the pillars around the altar ar solid gold. I was also all through tbe president's palace. Thirteen of us paid our respects to the president and the American consul. We bad a fine time.

Train will leave Callao on Sunday, the 1st, 1899, at 7 :4U a. m. and Lima at 8:30 a. m,. returning ut 7 p. m., etc." This bridge is so high that you could not see a wagon in tbe valley below. We bad a nice trip around; stop ping at Bahia, Rio Janeiro, Monte video, Sandy Point, Valparaiso and Callao. We had a big storm just before we reached Valparaiso, and it was a hard one, too. The water went clear over the bridge. It wag something awful for two days, then it quieted down and the ocean was as cairn as a lake. This ia a great place for sports.

The ingenious father of an estimable young lady in Sbeflleld recently rigged up a clever coutnvnnce by which ne discouraged a certain young man who had been accustomed to malte love to his dnuKhter, says Pearson's Weekly. The old gentleman recently caught the young mnn and the girl sitting rather close together on tbe sofa. He read the girl a lecture and made her promise not to let the young man sit beside her on the sofa again. lie was a bit suspicious, and decided not to trust the girl's promise, so he called in an electrician to carry out a little Bcheme of his. A contact plate wns fitted just under the cushion of tho sofa and another to the bottom of the frame in such a way that when the weight of two pet sons bore down upon the top plate it would touch the other and close the circuit. , Wires were run from the plate to the old man's bedroom.where, as soon' as the circuit was closed, a small bell would ring. All this was done without the knowledge of the girl. The next night the young man called again, and cverythlngwas as it should be until the old folks retired, about ten o'clock. About half an hour later the bell upstairs rang furiously. The old mnn sneaked, downstairs and caught the lovers snuggling very close together on the sofa. The young man escaped with his life, fortunately, but the poor girl is locked up on a diet of bread and water. - A mortgage for $30,000,000, given to the Central Trust Company of New York oity by the Colorado Southern Railway Company, was filed at Denver recently.
