Or, how to get on. "The whole secret in a nut shell." WILL BE A QUEEN. A Little Negro Girl Now la VUfiola Is to Wed Klag. In London County, not ttj fat from Washington, there is a girl wh will gome day contract an alliance with a King. Her dresses on that occasion will not be particularly splendid, and for that reason, perhaps, the event has not attracted the attention that such marriages usually do.

The truth It, ays the Atlanta Constitution, that the girl is a negress, and the man she will marry is King of a tribe la Africa. She is at present being trained for her future position In African court circles, and is an inmate of the family of Rev. John S. Chester, a clergyman who several years ago was a missionary to the west coast of Africa. Ills wife became very fond of a young African girl while he was there, and asked permission that 6be return with tbeca when they left the dark continent Her father, thinking the missionary was joking, gave his consent but when the time came for parting wanted to be released from his promise.

Chester still persisted in his request and finally, as no member of the tribe is allowed under pain of death to break a promise, be had to allow his daughter to depart The child was given the English name of Nellie instead of the unpronounceable one she at first possessed, and although Chester already had children of his own she was treated as a member of the family. Since Nellie has been In the United States she has made great progress In her education, and now at the age of fifteen is a model of scholarship and politeness. She can speak French and English well, and combine the winning ways of an American girl with the politeness of a Parisian. Nellie looks much older than she really Is, and would be eligible to marriage If she were with her own tribe, fcince they came here the Chester have kept up a correspondence with the parents of the girl, who have been delighted with the progress which they have learned she it making under her instructors. About a month ago they received a lettr from her father asking that she returned to Africa, as the King wished to claim his bride.

The tribe of which she is a member is a polygamous one, and Chester refused to do this unless the girl was to be the King's only Quen. The King, who is charmed with the stories about Nellie, has promised to do as asked, and it Is likely that within a few months Nellie will be sent back to mount a throne in her native land. Che has bad several offers of marriage from negroes living near her home, but she has refused them all. and the King will find her heart whole and fancy free. African-like, sbedofis not care much for sentiment and seems perfectly content to wed a man many years her senior and whom she has not seen sins she was a very small child.

The hero of a "bear" adventure is Bert Monroe, son of Henry Monroe, of the valley near Helena, Mont The boy is about nineteen or twenty years old, and is an enthusiastic hunter and a dead shot. Last fall, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, he killed the largest bear that had ever been killed in this section, and he refused seventy-five dol lars for the hide. Young Monroe started out for St Pe ter's mission not long ago on a hunting expedition. He was after bear, and he found more than he had bargained for.

His journey took him. up toward the neaa oi hk river, ana while not ex pecting it he came face to face with bear, which emerged from what after wards proved to be a bears' den or lair. He had no sooner killed the bear with nia trusty nne tnan anotner one He killed this one in the same way, and the third appeared. He killed this one also, and, before he had time to realize that he was getting about all the bear he cared for in one day, bear number four appeared. This fellow he also killed, and there was only one cartridge left in his magazine.

He needed this cartridge, too, for a fifth bear, and larger than any of the other four, came out of his den and made for him. He fired his last shot and though it probably hit Bruin, it did not do the business, for he came straight at him. Monroe did not have time to get another cartridge in his gun before the infuri ated beast was on him. The animal made a slap at him which sent the use less gun flying out of his grasp, and he just had time to draw his hunting knife and give Bruin an ugly cut in the throat In doing this he received a severe squeeze from the monster and a fearfuL bite on the shoulder. Then he lost consciousness.

It must have been only for a few moments, however, for when he came to again his horse was between him and the bear, The latter was evidently hurt, for he was making a feeble attack upon the horse, and was bleeding profusely from the wound in the throat. When the horse turned tail to his adversary, and began to kick, the bear made off to the brush, leaving a trail of blood behind. Monroe found that he was hurt in his back and side, which had been terribly torn in his brief struggle. With diffi culty he mounted his horse, which was quite unhurt, and rode two miles to a point where men were at work on a railroad grade of the Great Northern. From here he was taken to the Piegan agency.

A party which went out the next day found the four bears which had been killed, and a trail of blood leading as far as the stream, made by the fifth bear. The gun was also found where it had fallen. THE INDIAN MESSIAH. Strang Belief That Is Spreading: Among the Various Tribes. For many years we have regarded the Indian's belief in a Supreme being as very vague and undefined.

lie has, how ever, appeared to recognize a "Great Spirit" and a "happy hunting-ground, the home of the departed braves a country where beautiful prairies and forests are abounding in game, watered by cool streams, forming an ideal In dian heaven. This beliLays Lieuten ant Mans in Harper's 4 Weekly, seems a part of his nature, just as his love for his free and savage life, which the ad vance of civilization is forcing him to renounce. The buffalo is a thing of the past, and even the elk, the antelope and the deer have nearly disappeared, and he finds he must live on the bounty of the white man or starve. For years he has been confined to military reservations, and has chafed under the restraint thus put upon him. Little wonder he looks for a change, and longs for his once free life, and gladly grasps the new belief in the red Saviour, which is rapidly spreading to every Western tribe, and which the great chief Red Cloud says "will spread over all the earth." It seems impossible to trace the exact origin of this Indian faith.

An Indian from the upper Columbia River, named Smohalla, preached the doctrine of an Indian Messiah some ten years ago. This Indian taught that there would be an upheaval of nature, which would destroy the white man, and restore to the Indian his ancestral domains, and that the dust of countless dead Indians would spring to life, and would surround without one word of warning each paleface, who will be swept from the face of the earth. No one of the deadly weapons of civilization or skiil in their use will avail, and the blood of eighty millions of whites will atone for the wrongs done to the red race. Within a few months the belief in this new religion has 'Thread from tribe to tribe with marvelous "apidity. Runners have traversed thousands of miles to reach' distant tribes and bear the glad tidings.

The Arapahoes, the Shoshones, the great Sioux tribes, the Cheyennes, both North and South, and many other tribes, have been taught the faith; and the "ghost dance," the religious ceremony of the creed, is being danced by all these tribes. What Ailed Her Heart. Said one Front street girl to another recently: "At ma's suggestion the doctor called to-day and had a little talk with me. Ma has been worrying about me lately, you know. Well, the doctor said he had reason to suspect that there was something the matter with my heart and when I expressed a degree of wonder that he should find that out he looked surprised and asked me if I'd known of it before.

I assured him that I had good reason to know of it and when he asked me about the symptoms I told him that I experienced considerable fluttering and quicker pulsation, especially toward eight o'clock in the evening. He didn't know what to make of that so I told him that was the hour when I expected Charley. He got np at that and prepared to go, and somehow or other I fancied that he looked cheap as he took his departure. I guess he was a little disappointed because he wasn't the first discoverer of my heart trouble." Binghamton Leader. A Frequent Starter.

T. Barnum, the greatest Showman on earth. As a seller, we predict that it will ex cel anything in the book line that has been published for many years. As every experienced agent knows, the books which have had the largest sale were written by men whose names are fa miliar to the people, such as Grant, Gartield, Talmage, Stanley, etc. This being true, how can "Dollars and Sense" help but have an immense sale, when its author, Mr.

Barnum, is known to almost everyone. If you doubt this assertion, start out in your own locality inquire of all the American-bom people if they ever heard of P. T. Barnum. and you will find that at least 99 out of every 100 will answer yes; then send the publishers 50 cents for the agent's com plete outfit, and go to work at once, as you will on)y have to mention Barnum's name and show your prospectus in order to make sales.

LHlliori3 of Dollars Awaiting Their Owners How Jlonfjr Which Belongs to fndUcoT-red Ueira Accumulates la the Hadt of State Treasurers. Speaking roughly there is at the present time over $5,000,000 in hard cash in the hands of the various State Treasurers In this country awaiting the claim of legal heirs. This large amount ays the New York Telegram, has been deposited with the treasurers from time to time by public administrators. Of this So, 000, 000 the New York State Treasurer has about and although he pays out now and then certified claims from the administrative fund it keeps 6teadily increasing in a ratio with the population of the State. Tho public administrator of Brooklyn furnishes the following cases from his record books: Thomas Wilson sold newspapers in Brooklyn's Twentieth ward for a generation, nia route was an aristocratic one, comprising such 6treets as Clinton and Clermont avenues, in which are the homes of millionaires.

He peddled his wares in all sorts of weather, appeared on the streets in rain and shine every day and far into the night, and even made a feeble attempt to brave the fury of the big blizzard of March 12, 1883. He had no friends, no confidants, no associations, and he lodged in the attic of a miserable tenement bouse. One day in the spring, last year, his legs refused to carry him along his route, and he went for succor and shelter to the Brooklyn hospital. Here ho was warned that he had but a 6hort time to live and was told to communicate with his friends if he had any. Old Tom shook his head negatively and died that night without making a sign.

Five bank books were found under his pillow, showing 63,000 or $4,000 to his credit in different institutions. The administrator could learn nothing about him in the banks, where he had told different stories about himself. It is thought he was of Swedish origin and that his real name was Nilsen, not Wilson. Then, there was Joseph LangJer, a name common enough in the south of France, in Marseilles, especially. Lang-ler was also a solitary man, living or, rather, grubbing in an Atlantic avenue garret.

He paid the janitor tl a month for his miserable room. He went out and came in, 6poke to nobody and an swered questions by shaking or nodding his head. One day he went forth for the last time staggered and fell at the next corner, was taken into a saloon, thence conveyed in an ambulance to Long Island College hospital, where he died after a few hours. In the pockets of his coat were found bonds, mortgages and bank books, worth $17,000 to the owner; also a will drawn up In excellent legal phraseology and written in a beautiful hand. His signature was affixed to the will, but it lacked the names of witnesses.

So careful had he been in preparing the instrument that he added an explanatory paragraph, underlined in red ink. In a codicil he revokes the will, so that be really died intestate. Rumor says Langler's heir is a nephew living in Marseilles, a sister son, whom, if the administrator could locate, would inherit $17,000, with one yar's Interest William Cato is another of the great intestates for whole heirs the administrator is looking. Cato was no tramp or news-vender. He was a marine in the service of the United States, and had been one for such a length of time that be had only a vague memory of what he had been before.

His comrades had an idea that he was Scotch, and that is all they could tell about him. He died suddenly last spring, while still in tne service, leaving one thousand dollars or so he had saved out of his small pay. It is probable that an old woman living in Wigtonshire, Scotland, may be found with valid claims to this one thousand dollars. Patrick Cresham lived on Third ave nue, near rorty-sixin street, ooutn Brooklyn, and was in good icircum- stances. His wife died in the spring oi 1889, and the loss drove him crazy.

A week later he committed 6uicide. He left a good deal of property, to which his little four-year-old daughter was heiress. nis father, a well-to-do ew York car riage builder, was the legal guardian of the little girl, but there happened just then to be in the house a sister of the child's mother. She was on a visit from Ireland, and had arrived just in time to see her sister die. The night of the day Cresham committed suicide the aunt took the little girl stealthily out of her bed and out of the house, went over to New York, and on the morning follow ing sailed for Queenstown in the Um-bria.

Mr. Cresham, the uncle and legal guardian, reported the theft to the police and they cabled to Queenstown to have the aunt arrested on her arrival in that port Now, it happened that ow ing to a great storm, the Umbria could not put in at Queenstown, and so went directly on to Liverpool, where no police were waiting for a handsome lady of the name of Crowe and her four-year-old niece. Miss Crowe and the child are still in Europe, and the legal fight has not yet been decided. Opals from Ameriosi Mines.
