Demon of the Niger.
The natives inhabiting the country
near the source of the Niger believe
that a devil lives in the rock whence
the river springs. They are very super«
Btitlous and greatly fear this devil,
who is supposed to kill any person
who dares to look at the source.
Whenever the natives are showing a
•tranger the spot, they cover up their
faces and walk backward in the direc
tion of the spring, pointing toward it
with outstretched hand behind the
back.

Here is a rather neat story of the
way in which a very shy (or proud)
man made a “proposal.” He bought
a wedding-ring, sent it to the lady
(whose finger he knew by heart), and
with it enclosed a sheet of notepaper
with the brief question: “Does it fit?”
By return post he received the more
laconic, though syllabicaliy longer, re«
ply: “Beautifully.“

WHO WANTS TO OCCUPY IT7
English Hotels Seem to Have Queer
Idea as to the Popularity of
a Hearse.
MAY GIVE AMNESTY
Fear of Execution Is Believed to
Keep Rebels in Field.
New Minister of Interior Advises
Policy of Moderation Fight
ing Is On Decrease.
Mexico City Convinced that numer
ous bands of rebels in the states of
Durango, Couhuila and Southern Chi
huahua are continuing their operations
merely because they believe surrender
would mean summary execution under
the suspension of guarantees, Rafael
Hernandez, the new minister of the
interior, has announced that he would
attempt to gain for them a promise of
amnesty.
Chehe Campos and Benjamin Argu-
ado, officers in Orozco’s organization,
are the chief rebel leaders in these
districts, and several engagements
were fought last week, the govern
ment as usual announcing victories.
These, and allied leaders, have been
making successful raids on small out
posts, managing for the most part to
evade encounters with superior forces.
The rich country virtually is at their
mercy and the Federal forces are able
to accomplish little more than garri
son the larger towns.
Minister Hernandez is confident the
rurales, who, report to his department,
will be able to operate more effective
ly than the regular troops and with
this object in view, he has conferred
with General de la Vega, commander-
in-chief of the rurale guard. Hernan
dez has issued a general order to the
rurales to commandeer horses when
needed, giving receipt to the owners
and notifying the government.
The rurales have complained fre
quently they are unable to follow the
insurrectos
because of worn-out
mounts. It is believed this will pre
vent the rebels [from obtaining horses
and will assure the owners of pay
ment.
FOR
COAL
American Fleet May Be Augmented
in Cate of European War.
Washington, D. C.—Realizing the
possibility of rapid and important de
velopments in the Balkan war, the
Navy department haa slightly chang
ed the itinerary for the cruisers Ten
nessee and Montana, now on the way
to the Orient under command of Rear
Admiral Knght. Instead of going di
rect from Gibraltar to Smyrna, Ad
miral Knight has headed first for
Malta, with the Tennessee, while the
Montana, which was destined for Bei
rut, has started for Port Said, at the
entance of the Suez canal.
The change in the itinerary will
make it easier for the cruisers to re
plenish their coal bunkers, pending
the arrival in the Mediterranean of
the collier Brutus.
It was said at the State department
that there is no present intention of
sending other warships to reinforce
the Tennessee and Montana in the
Mediterranean. European navies are
extending all necessary protection in
the larger ports of Turkey.
Of course, in the event of a general
European war, it might be necessary
to diBpatch the greater part of the At
lantic fleet to Europe.
PENSION NEEDY EMPLOYES.

New York—Discussing the plans of
Andrew Carnegie to give an annual
pension of $25,000 to future retiring
presidents, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
said.
“ As it does not apply to me, I have
nothing to say on that side of it. In
any event, my interest is not in pen
sions for former presidents, but for
the small man who has no chance to
save and who faces direct poverty
when he becomes superannuated.
“ I think the small government em
ploye who gives years of faithful ser
vice at a small emolument should be
pensioned upon retirement. I believe
we must work out some system of in

Some of the hotelkeepers “on the

most singular of these methods is the
statement in their advertisements
that the hotel is equipped with
hearse! Inasmuch as the American
hotelkeeper Is only looking for “live

have been used as attractions in this

These roads reported a gain of 4.4

Carnegie Completes Will and Says
Mind Is Relieved.
Corporation Gets All But 826,000,-
OOO of Vast Estate—Approves
Discussion of Pension Plan.
New York—Andrew Carnegie, in a
statement Wednesday afternoon, an
nounced that all but $25,000,000 of
his fortune, which will be disposed of
under his will, will be left to the .Car
negie Corporation of New York,
which has been made his residuary
legatee, and which will carry on his
educational and charitable work.
Mr. Carnegie’s statement likewise
explains his reasons for planning to
pension ex-presidents of the United
States, as he provided recently
through the Carnegie Corporation.
In making his announcement, tell
ing how he had gone about putting his
“ gospel of wealth” into practice, Mr.
Carnegie said:
“ I resolved to fulfill the require
ments of [the ‘gospel of wealth’ by
transferring funds, and have done so,
except that I have found it desirable
to retain for a while personal distri
bution of my United States military
telegraph corps pensions and Pennsyl
vania Railroad pensions to Pittsburg
division men and their widows, be
cause my old boys would dislike the
change, and so, no doubt, would others
upon my pension list.
"To meet these payments and oth
ers under my will, $25,000,000 of
bonds upon which the New York state
tax has been paid have been reserved.
But the New .York corporation has
been made my residuary legatee and
all surplus left after meeting the pro
visions of my will goes to it.
“ 1 am happy in getting all this off
my mind. It is a grewsome business,
but I find that this earth is rapidly
becoming more heavenly, b o that
many good men and women I know
labor for others.
Surely Luther,
Franklin and their followers were
right, who held that ‘service to man
is the highest worship of God.’ ”
In explaining his pension plan Mr.
Carnegie cited the case of three ex
presidents as affording justification
for the project, the announcement of
which, he said, was “ making the de
sired impression.”
His trustees and
himself were all hoping, he Baid,
“ that congress would meet the situa
tion by proper action.”
“ Not one of us but will rejoice
should this be the result,” he said.

CONTRACTORS THREATENED
Plants
Dynamited After Refusal to
Employ Union Men,
Indianapolis, Ind. — As tending to
show the implication of labor union
officials in plots, the government in
troduced at the “ dynamite conspiracy”
trial testimony that explosions on non
union iron works followed the refusal
of contractors to unionize their jobs
after personal visits by some of the
defendants.
Before two charges of dynamite ex
ploded on a bridge in St. Louis on
August 9, 1908, testified John T.
Garrett, president of a construction
firm, he was visited by John H. Barry,
of the local Ironworkers’ union.
“ Barry wanted me to unionize the
job,” Garret said.
‘ ‘You’ll find it a great deal cheap
er, for you know what will happen,’
he said.
I told him I suspected he
was going to dynamite the job and he
had better be careful. It was blown
up later.”

Tacoma, Wash.—The Northern Pa

refrigerator cars.
The shippers of

Fully 45 per cent of the wheat crop

of the smaller mills are in operation.
The strikers refused the offer made
by the Carnegie company, although
the company is said to have agreed to
all demands except the reinstatement
of four discharged employes.
The
force of police at the Homestead plant
