BALLOON CARRIES OFF TIGER. Remarkable Story of Adventure ol American Aeronaut in Russia. An American aeronaut named Fobster and his fiance who accom< panied him on a trip from Vladivostok to Kanabarovsk, of the Amur had an amazing adventure with 2 tiger, according to a dispatch from Vladivostok. The weather had beer unfavorable and the aeronaut decided to land on the banks of th? - " ? J x - X? lb ^ Usun. As r ooster jumpea oiu 01 tut car, when it neared the ground, holding to the trail rope, he saw a tigei watching him from behind some bushes. The animal sprang at the car anc hung there when the balloon reascended. The aeronaut's only weapor was a big knife. Fearing that if ht told the girl to jump she would be killed, he held on to the guide ropf and ran to the river, 300 yards away the tiger in the meantime trying tc climb into the car. Fobster jumpec into the river, calling to the young woman to jump too. While she hesitated the tiger succeeded in getting inside the car. The girl then jumped and Fobster released the rope. The balloon, freed of the extra weight, rose quickly with the tiger ir tho r unri rtisnrmpared from siaht ?St. Petersburg Cable to Philadelphia Public Ledger. The Panama canal will soon be finished and ready for vessels to pass through. A swimmer belonging tc the life saving sendee wishes to trj the holding power of the banks and locks bv swimming through it. He f - -V is certainly welcome to the job. The idea of a Panama canal is almost as old as the history of the Western Hemisphere. No sooner had the Spaniards settled along the isthmus than they saw the necessity for some way of getting through from ocean to ocean that would do away with the long and dangerous sail around the South American continent. The DeLesseps attempt failed for two reasons, primarily the unhealthy conditions prevailing at the isthmus and the scoundrelly "graft" that entered into the work. But for the sickness and stealing De Lesseps would certainly have finished the great task not later than the year 1890. FREEDOM CAME TOO LATE. Convict in Western Penitentiary Died ja'-. Few Minutes Before/ Pittsburg, Nov. 28.?Eighty-one convicts in the Western penitentiary here to-day were notified that the State board of pardons had acted favorably on their applications for parole under the new Pennsylvania law and they were free to leave the prison. They were released in squads of three until all but three had departed. Of this number one had died a few minutes before his time for freedom arrived; another, a woman, was so ill her death appeared the matter of only a few minutes, and the third was totally blind. *: ? A Daughter's Pretty Tribute. .When Miss Genevieve Clark, daughter of Speaker Champ Clark, was about to sail on a pleasure trip to Europe, she was asked by a reporter: "What is your ideal of a man?" Miss Clark replied, "My father." And wrhen asked "Why?" she answered: "It's because he is so intensely human; because he has such a sure . vision; because he knows people so well, and is kind. Nobody in the world has a kinder heart, combined with a better understanding of men, than my daddy. He has always been my "pal' and all 1 know has been made real through him. His judgment of men is amazingly accurate and his sympathy is big and broad." Surely it is a fine thing when a girl is thus appreciative of her father. It is the highest kind of a testimonial for both father and daughter. No man can be very bad who possesses the confidence and devotion of those who are nearest him and know him best. And no girl can go far wrong who can keep the confidence and close companionship of her father. Would that there were more examples of this sort of devotion for they exercise an elevating and ennobling influence on society.?Exchange. FORCED INTO VICE.

I; Florence, Nov. 27.?Robert Woe j berry and Eugene Snow, two neg j boys from near Poston, were broug , j in to Florence last night by the sin i iff to be held on the charge of killi i Jeter Snow, a crippled negro, t t brother of one of the boys held f - the killing. j It seems that the two boys h } been to a gypsy camp and had be - frightened by the gypsies, and : coming home had thought it well i i load up a gun and put it by their b to protect themselves. Late in t I night the crippled brother cai home, and pretending to be a gyp: i possibly to still further fright i them, called out, "Let me tell yo i I fortune." As he entered the hou s! he left his crutches outs;de, the fii , j time he was ever known to wa ) j without them, and entered the be I room of the two boys. Robert reac r, ed for the gun and as Jeter came ne - the bed fired, the load taking ^ffe t in his neck, and the powder burni: his body dreadfully. He died i stantly.

More Than $250,000 Worth of Roc j Grown by One Family. i More than $250,000 worth of t precious ginseng roots are growii , on 13 acres of Wexford county lan , Xo other county in Michigan is gro ing ginseng on such an extensive sea and but few localities in the count , have experienced the success wi xvViioh innai p-rmvprs have been favc ed. Perhaps the most interesting fa in connection with the growth of gi seng in Wexford county is that of tl 1 3 acres of the root under cultivate in this county more than 12 acres a owned by members of the Breh family. The largest and best pat< is owned by Adolph Brehm, who h two acres under cultivation. H three brothers?Gustave, Edward ai Emil?all own large gardens, whi Will Discher, Jri, a brother-in-law Adolph Brehm, has more than { acre. It is claimed by the owne that ginseng is worth $20,000 i acre, thus giving a value of mo than $250,000 to the Wexford coun crop. All of the growers are beginnii to dig the roots which are large ar old enough for sale, while many i the smaller roots are being tran planted. But the roots are not tl only product from which the ginsei growers derive a large profit. Tl seeds, which are harvested in tl early fall, bring $6 a quart. Oi ginseng grower, who has less th? an acre of the root, secured eigl bushels of ginseng seeds this fa the sale of which brought him ov< $1,500. It is estimated that tl growers of Wexford county will r ceive more than $20,000 this fs from the roots which they send i New York and Chicago exporter They receive $7.50 to $10 a pour for the unsorted roots. The ginseng industry in Wexfoi XI X r* I county was urst startcu w ucu uu tave Brehm accidentally picked i a small sprout of the root while cu ting his way through the hardwoc forest more than 15 years ago. T1 unusual appearance of the root arou ed his curiosity and when he learne that ginseng brought a high price 1 set about to search for it in the wooi in his vicinity. When his brothe ! came to this country from Germai and settled in Wexford county he i terestea them in the cultivation < the root and to-day they are derivii a large profit each year from the sa of the peculiar herb. Although the profits to be derive from the sale of ginseng are gres yet there is great risk involved its growth and it seldom that year passes without one form blight or another attacking the root It is essential that the plants be ke in a shaded place and the usual w; i to bring this about is to inclose t] i bed, top and sides in a lattice wo: shed which permits the sun to flit 1 through but not to shine directly up< . the plants. The rolling land of We . ford county makes an ideal draina for the ginseng beds, but where t land is level it is necessary to dra it with tile. ; Tried to Rob Bank.

WILL NOT DISTURB WHALEY. to Graces Charges May Not Amount to V Anytliing. l(]_ Washington, Nov. 28.?The mem- | to hers of the house elections commit- j ii bt tee to-day expressed themselves as jc iV~ not favoring an investigation by the a n? House of the election of Representa- ^ tive Whaley, of Charleston. 01 Mayor Grace, of Charleston, is in ^ Washington pushing his charges of 11 "fraud" in connection with the en Whaley election. He has submitted e 011 for the inspection of the committee ^ t0 numerous affidavits from sundry cit- 11 e(* izens of Charleston. The committee v he investigated the character of these * ne witnesses and find that with one or v 3*' two exceptions they are former con- 11 Pn t victs or of an unsavory reputation. ur The committee is in receipt of inise formation they deem authentic to the ^ rst effect that Mayor Grace is pushing ^ his charges from a personal as well 11 !(*~ as from a political joint of view. v They do not like this attitude, and b iar hint that as the mayor was formerly a "Bleasite," but has now changed ns his politics, they are unable to "lay A lu~ our hands on him." ^ Mayor Grace laid charges against Representative Wlialey alleging that in the sworn campaign statement o made by Mr. Whaley giving an ac- p count of his campaign expense, he b >ts misrepresented the amount expended a and that the real amount was in ex- g j cess of that allowed by law. The ii he i speaker of the house, before whom il | the charges were made, referred a d j them to the elections committee, u j This committee was instructed to t< le! consider the charges and report to ry I the House, whether or not there c; th was sufficient fact for a House inves- o ,r_ tigation. B The committee had copies of the o ct submitted affidavits sent the individ- e n_ j ual members, that they might form w [ie j their personal opinions. )n The committee meets on the call b re of the chairman. Representative p ~ ! Prwt r?f Ohio, who will call a meet- v 111; ?- ? 3h ing next week when Congress con- fj as venes for the regular session. In- v is dividual members of the committee E 1(j polled to-day expressed the opinion il le that the allegations are not support- of ed by "sufficient bona fide facts to I m warrant the expenditure of the time ' rs and money necessary to get at the in bottom of what is 'personal animus I* re and jealousy.' " C ty It is pointed out that the character of the witnesses produced is bad. E ig They had been bought and undoubt- t< id edly could be again, so therefore are s of unworthy of belief. ? s- From the result of the poll to-day, ie there is no doubt that the comig mittee will report the mayor's ie charges "unfavorably." Representaie tive Whaley will retain hig seat in ie the House for the remainder of his m term. ? [it ?: S 11, Servant Assaults Baby. er __ e Lumberton, N. C., Nov. 26.?One v of the blackest crimes that has ever l1j occurred in this county was perpetratt0 ed at Parkton yesterday afternoon, when Dave Monroe, a 16-year-old ne- g. l(i gro, assaulted the little 5-year-old p daughter of Dr. D.

Fortunately for the negro, the officer succeeded in getting 1C away in an automobile, before it was jg known that he had been captured. rs He was placed in jail about 9 o'clock. }V The negro denies the charge, but n_ the proof is said to be asolute. The 0f officer stated that while the child lg was painfully injured, no serious re- j le suits were anticipated. The negro had been employed at the home of his 3(1 victim for the past two years. Ll Sheriff Lewis having learned this jn evening that it was probable that an n attempt would be made tonight to 0f take the negro fiend from jail, left rs with him for Raleigh as a matter of pt precaution. The sheriff was satisfied av that such a movement was on foot, he else the negro would have been kept rk here. FARMER FOUND GUILTY. IX- ???
