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.

Tells of Cases Where Young Girls
Were Driven to Immorality.
New .York, Nov. 26.?Cases ir
which the younger daughters of poverty
stricken families were forcec
into lives of immorality when ad
equate assistance was not given D>
charitable organizations when funds
were most needed to-day were described
by Miss Alice Gannett of ths
Nureses' Settlement home of this
city. She was a witness before ths
State commission which is investigating
with a view to deciding whethei
a pension system for widowed mothers
shall be established. She favored
State aid with State administration
of funds.
A CRIPPLE IS KILLED.
I
f Two Negro Boys Are Committed
Florence Jail.
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. Xo reason other than frig
i can be given to account for the ki

MICHIGAN GINSENG FARMS.
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.

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. ?

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. S. Currie. U
rd When it became known late in the **
s_ evening what had happened, a num- W
ip ber of citizens went in sarch of the
t_ negro, but no trace of him could be 1
)(j found until early this morning, when I
ie Deputy McNeil discovered him hid in I
s_ a shuck pile. 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.
