A HANGING EXPERIENCE. riie Kcneatt.iDit as liescrihed l,y u Kansas A! nti. "I was hanged for a horse thief Dnce," said F. II. Stephens, a con tractor hailing from the Sunflower itate, to a Globe-Democrat man. "It was just after the war. Stock thieves were pretty thick, aud when caught were not allowed to waste much time reponting of their sins. I had just aiovtil into the stitto from Michigan. I bought a horse, a regular old plow ping, from a youngster who appeared to be all right, und the next day mount h him and started to Port Scott to transact some business. "I had ridden perhaps a dozen miles 1 when I was overhauled by a posse of armed men who were hunting stock thieves. The horse 1 was riding had been stolen from a member of the party, and 1 was swung up to the limb of a tree by tho roadside without ueing ijivcn a chance to explain. There was a sharp, momentary pain, a choking sensation, succeeded by ono that I can only compare to the delightful intoxi cation of the opium smoker, and then unconsciousness. I would like to ex perience that sensation again, but do not care to undergo the necessary pre liminaries. The party concluded that I might havo confederates, and let me ' down, hoping that I would peach. "The coming back to lift? was a good deal more painful than taking leave of it. When I got so I could talk I told my story, but it was not believed, and they were nbout to swing me up again, wucn a neighbor, returning from Fort 9cott, chanced along and convinced them that they had the wrong num." PEOPLE OF EASTERN PERU a and 1 The Montana nf Mouth Aruerl. InhnhltHiit. Eastern Peru, though changing it political title at various periods, hof been called the Montana or wooded country since the first colony wn pluutod there, two hundred and fifty six years ago, says a writer in Harper's Weekly. The experiences of the early settlers were an endless succession ol romantic adventures. Towns were built and destroyed tunny times, and there is scarcely a single situ which hot not been bathetl with the blood of whit and Indian through centuries of eon diet. Spanish and Peruvian possessior of this territory has consequently beer more nominal than reul until withlr the last twenty years, during whieb time several of tho old mission statiom have flourished forth into cities of front two thousand to six thousand inhab itunts under the commercial stimulus given by the opening of tho Amazon ti the Hags of all nations in ISM. Accordingly the majority of the pun whites now living in the Montana art either Peruvians originally from tin west coast or Germans, French anc English, with two or three Americans who have Wen allured to this roniot corner of the globe by tho prospect oi speedily amassing fortunes in the rub bcr trade.

TO BRING THEJVIOON NEARER. A Frwnf h Savant ITtiptmen m Olcantto frviitul Mlrrttr. M. Francois Deloncle, a French savant, and deputy for the Basses Alpes, has a marvelous projsct in hand which he hopes to see completed in time to astonish mankind at the Paris exhibition of 10DO. Though the moon is 240,000 miles distant from the earth, says the London Daily Chronicle, M. Deloncle thinks he can construct an ap paratus which will enable us to ex amine that luminary at very close quarters. The idea has been expounded by the author before a French scientific society, and M. Deloncle says, In sub stance, that the only obstacle to a close observation of c lestial bodies is the relative imperfection of instruments, and that all that is required is an en largement and improvement of present instruments. Astronomers, says M. Deloncle, have reckoned that the image of the moon can be brought quite close to the earth by means of a crystal mirror elirht men rs iu diameter, but which, owing to the thickness required, would weigh about eight tons. Lie has consulted various opticians in Paris and they are prep.wl t execute the work before the y, ar I!..

If this and other difficulties were surmounted, says M.

HOLLAND WILL EXHIBIT Influential Netherlanders Interest, ed in the World's Fair. Ih Ltfe and Surrounding of the Dutet People to Be Illnstraced A Splendid Representation Expected to lie Made. The active participation of the kinff dom of Holland at the world's fair ii now , an assured fact. Hon. Walkei Fearn, chief of the department of for eign affairs, has received a letter from Hon. Samuel Thayer on the subject from the legation of the Dnited States at The Hague, in which the authorities o) the Columbian exposition are informec that a royal order appeared in the of ficial Gazette, of June 23, announcing the appointment of the following com mission as representative of the Nether lands government at the Columbian ex position: M. Mens, H. Hcldring, G. M Boissevain, Mr. Svan Citters, G. Birk hofl, J r. These are all men of trom- tnence and activelv interested in the success of the exposition. An earlj meeting of -the commissioners will bi held at the United States legation. The Netherlands government has de clined for years all invitations of the character from other nations, ever from such near neighbors as France and Belgium, and only through the in fluence of persistent pressure was Hoi land finally brought to concede an ex hibition to the Columbian world's fair Through the cooperation of an or gamzation composed of a number of in fluential people In Amsterdam and other parts of the kingdom a consider able sum of money has been raised to b used in the construction of a special building at the fair, to be built lr various styles of architecture, ancient and modern. The exhibit to be made at the Holland headquarters will bt characteristically Dutch, and it is the intention to illustrate the life and sur roundings of the Dutch people. It ii intended, if possible, to create a canal running through the center of the space allotted, with ample scope for exhibit! on either side, and in connection there with a Dutch dairy showing their process of butter and cheesemaklng, together with rare specimens of Dutch cattle, etc. The Holland commission will make application for the necessary space to make this exhibit, and it ii quite likely that the consul of the Netherlands government at Chicagc and one other commissioner may be delegated to act for the royal commis sion in this matter. While some mem bers of the commission are designatet as the committee and others oommis sions, they are all of royal appoint ment and have practically the sami function, though the chief work of th committee will be in the Netherlands Nearly all the leading industries in the kingdom of Holland have alreadj pledged their active cooperation in thi development and maintenance of az adequate representation at Chicago. EXHIBIT OF EAST INDIA. It Promuiee to Be Large .and Attractive Display. The East Indian exhibit is likely U develop into a large and attractive dis play. United States Consul Genera Ballantine at Bombay, in a recent com munication to Director General Davis shows that interest in the world's fall is becoming very general in the largi cities and at some of the native court! of India. The native princes as wel as opulent merchants and manufoctur ers are now fully awakened to the im portancc of a representation. Consul General Ballantine paid an of ficial visit to the court of his highnesi the guicowar or mnharajah of Baroda The guicowar of Baroda is the most im portant prince in western India. Aftei showing Consul General Ballantlm every attention the prince confirmed hii promise of assistance given in a pre vious interview by officially instructing his prime minister to give every assur ancc of assistance, and added that hi would get an exhibit from his principal ity representing a value of certainlj not less than ten thousand rupees anc probably much more. The gnicowai added that he would possibly make thii much larger and more extensive. Hii action in this regard is most likely t induce other native princes to follow it The guieowar's brother, his excellencj Sumgatra, has already promised tovish Chicago. With a large retinue of offi cers and attendants he contemplate) visiting England next year. The visit of a native East Indian prince, sur rounded by his official staff and retinui of native assistants, would be a striking and attractive incident of theexpositior. period. The official jeweler to his highness, the mnharajah of t'utch, hits decided tc send rare specimens of filigree gold and silver work. The bruhnio f-amaj of In dia in Calcutta hns chosen Balm 1'. C Mozoomdar, and the arva samaj of In dia has selected Kwami Ulutskaranand as representatives of their Hindoo sect to the world's religious congress to be held at Chicago in connection with the exposition. A Hindoo gentle man is making arrangements for twe hundred of his countrymen to visit the fair. Reproducing- the irrat Alliainbra.
