PERUVIAN EXPLORER’S TRAGIC
AL REPORT
Captain J. C. Beasley, of the Eng
lish army, with three companions who
left New York last summer on an
exploration expedition, returned to
that city a few days ago with a most
tragical report of their journey. They
started out to explore the uncharted
districts of the Peruvian Andes and
the headwaters of the Amazon. At
Lima they left eight of the original
party of twelve, who, from fever or
fear of the perils of fthe trip, halted.
In the savage wilds o fthe Andes
they found the bones of two men
and -camp ^utensils, which jaCptain
Beasley claims belonged to the Amer
ican O’Higgins and the Seljan expe
dition, although no scientific society
or newspaper ediotors seem to have
been able to recall such an expedi
tion. Captain Beasley reports that
his party found Machu Picchu, the
lost city of the Incas discovered by
Professor Bingham of Yale. The ex
plorers say they had a terrible time
going the length of the Amazon on a
raft, in getting through the rapids
and whirlpools, and in escaping the
poisoned arrows of the savage In
dians who constantly attacked them.
There are difficulties everywhere in
the material and spiritual world,
deadly .feversj, impassable (foriests,
savage enemies, and. treacherous riv
ers. They say these can be over
come with persistency 'and faith.
IRISH-BRITISH TUNNEL.
It is proposed to join Ireland and
Scotland with a submerged iron lube
railway between the two countries. A
Chicago engineer suggests that a tube
containing a double railway track
could be constructed between Black
Head and Port Patrick for $110,000,000.
This tube would have a length of
twenty miles. It would not be drilled
through the rock beneath the water
owing to the expense and also to the
engineering difficulties which would
be created by the mid-channel depres
sion known as Beaufort’s Dike, but
from the effect of wind and wave,
and would he supported securely. It
is no new thing to tunnel mountains
for trains or run them under rivers
and bays. The proposed tube would
be a trifling undertaking in engineer
ing and expense when compared with
the Panama Canal, the New York
Aqueduct, or th° hundred million dol
lar terminals of the Pennsylvania anJ
New York Central railroads. Such a
submarine railroad would be good for
both Ireland and Great Britain. It
would promot? a closer communica
tion with and more intimate nowi
edge of feach other, and would tend
to bring about that spirit of harmony
and justice so necessary to the hap
piness and prosperity of both.
JAIL FOR POULTRY DEALERS.
Thirteen men of the Poultry Trust,
some wealthy and influential, who
were convicted more than two years
ago in the Court of General Sessions
in New York, were the other day sen
tenced to serve terms of three
months in the penitentiary and pay
a fine of $500 each, according to the
unanimous decision of the Appellate
Division of fthe Supreme Court. They
were guilty of fit conspiracy in re
strain of trade; to run up the price
of poultry and run out of business
their independent rivals. The anti
trust law under which these men were
convicted has been on the statute
books of New' York state for nearly
• fifty ■ years,, but this is-the first time
. a jail sentence has been pronounced,
settling the law that members of il
legal trusts can be charged w'ith and
' punished for personal guilt.

KING OF WEARY
WILLIES WEDS
ERIE, Pa., March 17.—“A-No. 1,”
the King of Tramps, whose real name
is George Livingston was to be mar
ried here today to Miss Mary Trohos
ki. Livingston, who is known all
over (he world by his designation,
“A-No. 1,” has beat the railroads
and steamship companies out of
thousands of dollars in fares. He
claims he has traveled more exten
sively than any other two people in
the world, and shows credentials in
the form of autographs and letters
which he says he has personally se
cured, that could have been secured
only by travel of hundreds of thous
ands of milees. Livingston says his
trips have covered “a million miles.” i
He has been located in Erie for the :
past four months. Livingston’s mar- j
riage today was a great event. A j
score or more of delegates to the re- >
cent “hobo” convention at Cleveland,
officially termed the United Welfare '
Brotherhood, were invited to attend !
the ceremony. "A-No. 1,” today re- j
fused to say whether he has given up 1
his life of travel for all time.

METHODS OF THE KAISER.
When William Want* Information Ha
Juat Simply Geta it.
It is a well known fact that, often
becoming Interested in some subject,
Kaiser William summons tbe greatest
authority ou the subject and gets tbe
latest Information In the quickest way.
The empeior, so the story goes, sum
moned Professor Uarnack, the re
nowned theologian, and asked him
some technical questions—say, the lat
est news on the antiquity of the book
of John. Tbe kaiser is known to be
a specialist in refuting higher criti
cism, so perhaps the question was
even more 'technical.
lie and Uarnack indulged in a spir
ited discussion and all too soon (lie
clock brained private secretary Inter
rupted to tell Ids majesty that he had
an appointment for ilie next half hour
with Prince So-and-so. The emperor's
face clouded. ‘‘Where am 1 tomorrow
night?" he asked. "Your majesty
dines with Count So-and-so.” Then
turning to tlie theologian the emperor
said. “Well. I shall see you again and
finish tlie discussion.”
Tile next day Professor Uarnack re- !
eeived an invitation from the count [
who was entertaining the kaiser, and j
although lie was not acquainted with
his host he accepted. At dinner he
found himself sitting next to tbe em
peror, who Immediately resumed the
theological discussion where it hud
been left off the day before. And this
time It was finished.—Chicago News.
TYPE AND TAPE.
These Names Sounded Queer as They
Were Heard In London.
Here's one nbout an American print
er whose vicissitudes took him across
the ocean last year and landed him in
the town of London. The printer is
back in Cleveland now and tells the
story himself.
This printer Imthougbt him of start
ing a little paper in the heart of Eng
land. So he rented a little building,
then went, to purchase bis type and
presses. For the type he stopped at a
typefounder's place and explained his
needs.
“1 want some type," he said
“We don’t sell type here," unswered
the clerk blankly. “You might get it
at the draper's shop over the wye."
“How should I get type in a draper’s
shop?"
“How should you get it anywhere :
else, may I awsk, think you, sir?”
“Well, in my country type is sold at
a typefounder’s, not at a dry goods
store."
"AowV Did y’wisli toype, sir? I
thought you wisbt type such as they
have in type measures and typeworms. i
You didn’t wish type to bind on the j
edges of frocks, then, hut toype to !
print a paper with? Step this way,
thank yoti, sir.”—Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
Cause of the Roman Empire.
The reason “why the Itouinn empire
succeeded the republic" was that
there was felt to be an urgent need
of a strong central power. For many
years the republic had been desolated, i
and the cry of the whole people was
for peace—peace at almost-any price.
Now, peace could be secured only by
the ascendancy of a single man. rul
ing with absolute and irresistible
sway. So tile people acquiesced in the
change. They even hailed it with joy.
A few patriots like Brutus and Cato
gave up in despair, but most men were
pleased with the revolution which
made Caesar supreme—not that tiiey
were mouarchistic at heart hut that
after tiie devastating strife they want
ed peace, even though it he at the sac
rifice of some of their liberties.—St.
Louis Times.
Japanese Fashions.
A Japanese woman of fashion Is by
no means « drain on her husband’s
finances. The cost of ber wearing ap
parel is very small indeed when com
pared to her sister of the Occident.
She wears $13.80 worth of clothing un
der her kimono, the latter costing
about $23. The obi costs another $25.
Numerous tying paraphernalia Sum up
to $17.25. and' a set of footwear
Amounts to about $0. Combs and hair
pins ornamented with gems cost $215,
a shawl $7.50. a diamond neck clasp
$150. a tot:.! of a little more than $000
for a season. This is a very modest
outlay when compared to the enor
mous cost of apparel for the woman
of fashion in New York ami Paris.—
New York Sun.
A Lesson In Spelling.
The lawyer Was Scotch, and the
Judge was English. The ease in argu
ment concerned certain water rights,
and the lawyer had frequently to use
the word "water.” which he pronounc
ed very broad
"Mr. So-and-so.” at last interrupted
the Judge, "do you sped water with
two .t’s in your country’.'''.
•‘Na. na. my lord."'quickly retorted
the lawyer, "but.we spell manners wi’
