(.. Instead of devoting solo ntlontlon to the denunciation of Negro outrage, though those, properly, woio not Ig nored, and to complaining about v rongs, read or fancied, endured by tho nice, the convention for tho most part applied Itself to the real problems conf uniting tho race among whlclc hro Industry education, morality, and tho duties or cltlxoushlp. The "out rages" and "wrongs", while real and not to ho Ignored, will, aa tho conven tion seemed to think, disappear as the rrfco, by tho cultivation and practice of tho virtues .tnontlonnd, purgo Itsolf of Hit weaknesses.

Six o'clock Is quit ting time for the men, and so anxious were they not to work overtime that they dropped tho rail when they heard tho wlilHtle blow.

A young clergyman, Just ordained, wns Invited to address tho Sunday school pupils of a church where he was n visitor, nml, facing tho expectant youngsters, began with tho iiuestlou: "Well, children, what Hliiill I talk to you about?"

A London physician of large practice asserts that owing to his extremely sensitive sense of smell, ho can foretell the coining of death forty-eight hours. 'He says thnt when a patient comes within two days of deuth n peculiar, earthy smell Is emitted from the body, When the fatal disease la slow In Its progress tho odor makes It appearunco us much as three days beforehand; hut when tho disease la of the galloping kind, the doctor says he receives a much shorter warning, He attributes thu smell to iitortlucntlou, which begins within the body before life Is extinct. Dogs nro thought to also have this" sense, for hunting hounds have been observed to begin a mournful Imylng a day or two before their masters died.

The conductor in charge of the train called out Its new name, al though there was as yet no sign or des ignation nnywhere of its new title New York Sun. BIG GAME IN MEXICO. Alotiiituln Lions, Antelope, Wild Dogs, Wild Hours nml lltirron. A civil engineer recently returned from the hacienda of .limulco, In Con bulla, an Immense property containing over 2,000 square kilometers, tells some stirring tales of shooting wild game. Antelopes abound, but great care Is necessary in approaching theso wily creatures, owing to their Imblt of al ways placing one ori two bn guard while tho rest of the herd Is feeding. Tlio sentinels, faithful to their duty, remain with head erect, peering nnd stiltllng to the four points of the com pass and give a swift alarm the mo ment an enemy appears In sight. Not long since n party of young men were hunting the Jnvnll, or wild hog, and, coming up with a number, one of the hunters succeeded In killing one nnd dismounted to secure It. As he approached his prey n dozen or more Javall that were hiding' In tho tail grass attacked him ferociously, and one fastened his tusks In the hunter's heel, hanging on like grim death. Thu oth ers came to their companion's assist ance nml the brute was killed, but thu tusks were sunk so deep Into the heel that the hog's Jnws hud to he pried apart with a gun barrel before the man was freed. Strange as It may seem, thu wound closed quickly nnd with no serious results. On this same hacienda are both wild dogs and wild burros, the latter being remarkably swift and hard to take. The dogs are said to be large and very sav age, with ugly countenances and ex tremely long, coarse hair. Somo tlmu ago n pup was caught and tamed, de veloping Into n tine watchdog, but though every effort wns made to secure a mate for him It has not been possi ble. It Is not generally realized thatmouu tain lions of Mexico will attack a mini, but several recent encounters show them to be as dangerous for men as for beasts. One of tho mozos In a recent hunting party hnd but one baud, the stump of his left nrm bearing wit ness to a terrible struggle with a Hon he hud shot nml then approached, thinking the brute wns dead. A man who has hunted In the Stnte of Souora tells of a certain spring where two men have been killed by lions while camp ing there for thu night. The brutes fol low a man for miles, like the panther, lured on by the human scent and hopes of finding an opportunity to spring on the traveler. A mountain Hon wns re cently killed lu Mlchoacnn that meas ured three meters from tip to tip, says the Mexican Herald. Mexico possesses many Intrepid hunt ers, especially among military men, but their deeds of prowess are rarely re- lnti.it flilu tintlli. t"itlint- fritfilir,i l.i tin.

'Ihe writer knows of an ar- dent sportsman, n general, who had one room entirely adorned with firearms nnd furnished with trophies of tho chase. Tho furniture was covered with sklus, the feet of the chairs being of deers' horns. The nrins, dating from tho conquest to the present time, wero valued at over $20,000. So far did this general carry his fad for shooting Im plements that he hud a cigarette case made In the shape of a pistol, 'and In offering his guests "clgnrros'' pulled n real trigger nnd shot the tobacco mis siles In their direction. A (.miller's Krltmtl, A strange friendship between a gan der and n bloodhound Is recorded by u Cincinnati paper. On a farm near Kuii ton, Ohio, there was a largo tlock of geese, mid among them, but not of them, was a solemu-looklug gander who "docked by himself," having been cut off from his kind for some unknown reason. x Holng lonesome, the bird made over tures to Caesar, the big watch-dog on tho premises. Tho dog, n tlercu blood hound, promptly repulsed tho gander's advances. He rushed out ot his kennel as far as his chain would permit, and pounced on tho bird as If he would tear htm to pieces. The gander escaped with tho loss of a few feathers, but as soon as Caesar became quiet he ugnlu took hla stand near the kennel. After several unsuccessful attempts to drlvo the bird away, Caesar seemed' to understand the situation, and from thnt time on accepted tho friendship thnt had thus been offered to him. The gander's devotion to the dog was really remarkable. He would stand guard for an hour at n time while Caesar slept, now and then with his bill scratching the dog's head or IiIb back, ns If caress ing hint. And Caesar scented delighted to have him do It. If he wandered off occasionally ai'ter 'tlu, trimming most in vogue, but general grass, Caesar would begin tmrkl.ig. - the braid or embroidery Is applied, not when back would rush the gaudir, to the material of the gown, but to mime with outspread wings, cackling and other stuff lu contrasting color used in squawking ns he cume.
