FQPITUNE FROM A WHIPPING
Sixty iii5,000 Lashes Started One Mall
to Great Wealth.
There died recently in San Francisco
John Magee, one of the wealthiest resi-
dents of that city of millionaires, says
the New Yorle Press. John Magee's
immense fortune came originally as li
result of a floggleg whieli he received
ha San SOse, Guatemala, In 1874. In
that year Magee was a British cense--
lar agent in Sea Jose, He fell out
with the military commandee there,
QUO Celonel Gonzales. Gonzales threat-
ened and stormed, but Magee defied
him. Thereupon, the colonel took Ma-
gee from his coosulete, ignorbag the
protection of the Britisli flag, and or-
dered hula to be flogged for his con-
tumacy. Ile got 00 lashes on his bare
back and then was thrown loth prison,
A British man-of-war came steaming
foto the harbor of San Joe, and a
wrathful man was her commander,
He demanded that Magee be delivered
over M hine immediately under penalty
of blowing the 'Own sky high. Magee
was given up, but that did not close
the incident. 'Unless an apology for
the insult to the British flag Was made
immediately by the government of
Guatemala, the flag saluted and an in-
demnity paid to Magee the Brrtish, getv-
ernmeat threatened direful things.
Guatemala appealed to the United
States, but this country replied that

tie Central Atuericen republics 1.. eoma

trated by Colonel Gonzales, and. Guate.
male was advised to comply with the
lust British demands, Tbereepee ene
government of Guatemala offered te
pay Magee 300,000, Sre0n0 for every
lash be had received. The apology aad
the salute of the British flag irefe else
fortheonalog.
Now, this amount efinnot be found
every day ta the treasury of 4 Central
American reeublie, and while the goo-
erameat of Guatemala might agree to
nay the sum the collecting ot It would
probably be delayed and attended with
trouble and complications. So Zragee
said to the Guatemalan government
that he really could not distress it
tinauclaily by accepting such a large
amount of motley, but would be eon -
tent to call It square for certain, con,
cessions -which would cost it nothing.
Magee got the COACOSS10133 at once, and
they included the right to establish a
bald.: in San lose and the building of
wharfs in that port. The government

London's Voturo Population.
What will the population ot London
be in 1050? This is tie mere question
of curiosity. it must shortly engage
parliament, for it is because the an.

London's water supply question Is so
complex. Each plan that is proposed
for !snaring to Londoners enough 'wa-
ter to drink and Inithii in is based on, a
calculation' of London's probable "popu-
lation 50 years Ilene., Royal commis.
stens and experts have put the figure
at anything from 15,000,000 to 50,000,-
000. Other autborlties denounce these
conjectures as absurd, and an increase
to 12,000,000 fs predicted as the more
likely inflation, A. city of that popula-
tion is sufficiently appalling to put one

A. suit of clothes made of blackivool-
en cloth which has never been through
the dye tub is probably the most re-
markable costume that President Mc-
Kinley has ever owned. That he can
wear it, as ono of a very few men who
have enough of tbe wool to make a suit
of clothes, is due to the courtesy of
George W. Peterson, who owns a flock
of 70"black sheep, the only really black
flock in the country. Mr. Peterson has
also given *Senator Platt a quantity of
the same elotb. No dye of any sort
was used, and the wool is as pure in
color and texture as when it came from
the sheep's backs.
As this is the only known instance
in which black cloth has been made
without dyeing the wool, President ale.
!Miley will be a. marked man when he
appears in his priceless suit of clothes.

er, who has a farm at Austerlitz, N.

pense and with much care. -Exchange.
Elephant Who _Earns His Board.
Janes ,Cahill of Roney'S Point is the
only person in West Virginiaeand prob-
ably in the United States who has In
regular use upon bis farm an elephant
which is used for farm work. With
the swayingbeast hitched up to a plow
he can turn more ground than any
pef his neighbors with a team of horses,
and wben it comes to hauling logs the
elephant will walk away with ease
with logs which tbe best teams of his
neighbors cannot move.
The elephant eats little More than a
horse and does many times the work
of one, is gentle and docile and causes
little youble, and Mr. Cahill is -more
than pleased with his experiment. Mr:
Cahill bought the elephant from a
strinded circus proprietor --Baltimore
