RELIC OF LIVINGSTONE.

Carried to England.
In that portion of South Africa which
Is now called Rhodesia, at the small
settlement of Chitambo. just south of
Lake Bangweolo. Dr. Livingstone, the
famous African explorer and mission
ary, gave up his life on May 1, 1S73.
The Royal Geographical society has
just received a remarkable relic of Dr.
Livingstone in tlie sP.ape of a section'
of tree truck. When the great ex
plorer died there was intense grief
among those natives to whom he had
endeared himself. They opened the
body, removed the heart and placed it
in a tin box, which they buried under
a large tree. Around this they srsotsd
a fence.
An inscription was cut on the trsie by
order of one of Dr. Livingstone's men.

while the Royal Geographical society
tent subsidies to the native chiefs of

sanctity of the spot.
Livingstone's body was roughly em
balmed, sent to England ar.d buried in
Westminster Abbey, but for more than
23 years no white man visited the site
of the tree under which his heart had
been placed.
Reports were some time ago received
that the tree was decaying, and Mr. Al
fred Shurpe. C. R., the commissiorjer
to the Rritish Central Africa protect
orate, recommended its felling in or
ier to preserve what remained of the
inscription.
This wusdone, the section containing
the inscription being carefully cut out
and forwarded to England, where it is
to be added to the relic section of the
Royal Geographical society.
The inscription has become almost
obliterated. The bark, which had been
cut away from the trunk, has regrown
in places and has covered some of the
letters. All that cow remains is: "Dr.
Livingstone. May 4, 1S73. . . . Za

SCNSATION BV ASTOR.

LONDON. J-,y 4. Mr. William Wal
iorf Astor has set nil Ioiidou talking by
publishing in his own 'apcr. The Pall
Mall Gafette. the following paragraph:
"We are desired to make known that
the presence of Captain Sir RcrUcley
Milne of the Naval and Military- club,
Piccadilly, nt Mr. Astor's concert last
Thursday evening, wns uninvited."
As Captain Milne Is one of the most
distinguished nnvnl officers nnd a mem
ler of the l-esf clubs ami a former com
mander of the royal yacht Osborne ni
end of speculation has loon caused by the
remarkable announcement. The Astors'
concert wns largely attended, ami those
questioned did not notice Captain Milne.
Rut, so far ns rti be learned, nothing
occurred during the entertainment to jus
tify Mr. Astor's present action. In fact,
it is freely stated that Mr. Astor was
pretty bold in making the nsertion that
a man so well known In I-ondon. al
though perhaps not icrsonnlly invited
by Mr. Astor, .did not come in some one
else's party.
The paK-rs comment on Mr. Astor's
dragging in one particular club to which
Captain Milne belonged, as if Mr. Ator.
It is pointed ont. had a grudge against it
as well as agninst Captain Milne, anil
the general opinion is that Captain Milne
i not likely to submit to such a slur
without taking some action.

WOOLLEY FOR PRESIDENT.
Detents Swallow In the Prohibition
Convention on First Bnllot.
CHICAGO. June IS!. The Prohibition
convention has adjourned sine die
aftpr having placed in nomination for
president John G. Woolley of Illinois and
for vice president Henry R. Metcalf of
Rhode Island. The nominations in each
instance were made cm the first ballot.
Only two candidates for the presidential
nomination were balloted for, Mr. Wool
ley and Rev. Silas C. Swallow of Penn
sylvania, Hale Johnson of Illinois with
drawing his name at the last moment nnd
throwing his strength to Mr. Woolley.
This undoubtedly had a great effect on
the result, as the convention earlier in
the day had been nenrly stampeded for
Swallow by an eloquent speech of Homer
L. Castle of Pittsburg, and had the
friends of the Pennsylvania parson forced
a ballot at that time the result might
have been different.
For vice president three candidates
were balloted for. II. R. Metcalf, Thom
as R. Caskardou of West Virginia and
Rev. E. L. Eutou of Iowa, Mr. Metcalf
receiving an overwhelming majority of
the votes cast.

PROFIT IN A TRADE DOLLAR.
Bew latlBBat Mlchlaa His
Lost Ills lodlstrailon 4
tialaed 05 teals.
A man who came recently to Chica
go from Michigan received a trade
,nn-.r In ISienrrn when he raid his
fare to the collector of a 'bus line at j
the Tark row stotion. It wus dnrk
when the transaction took plooe. and
the Michigan man did not discover
the character of the dollar till the
next day. when he wanted to pay his
hotel bill. He was indignant.
"That fellow thought I was n farm
er," he said. "I will write to the
manager of the 'bus line nnd tell him
to send that collector back to me
with nn up-to-date dollar. I nm no
back number, and neither was the
bill I gave him."
The more the Michigan man
thought about the matter the more
his indignation grew, lie had tried
to pass the dollar at a cigar stand
earlier in the day for 90 cents. The
clerk refused to ncccpt it at any
price. Finally the victim of the 'bus
collector resolved to forego letter
writing and go to the 'bus manager
In person. On the way he noticed a
display of gold coins in a window.
"Guess I'll go in nnd see what the
thing is worth, anyway." the Mlchi
gander said to himself. He went into
the gtore where the coins were div
played and threw the trade dollar
onto the counter, asking: "What'll
you give for It?"
The dealer examined the coin a
minute and replied: "I'll give you
I1.6S."
"It's a bargain." said the "farmer,"
and with the $1.05 jingling in his
hand he went ont. saying: "Guess I
won't go to see that manager now."
FAMOUS PACKS OF CARDS.
Jacks That Iteprrsented the Mont
Famoos Diplomats of
Europe. 4
A pack of cards was recently sold' In
a London stationer's for $K0. It wa
one of the handsomest Italian copper
plate card games called "teroochi di
Montagna," engraved during the fif
teenth century, sjiys Collier's Weekly.
Another pack of curds recently sold
at Paris for 1,000 francs.
Each of the cards in this pack is a
masterpiece of the engTavcr's art, and
all the figures in the game were his
torical personages. The queen of
hearts, for instance, represented Queen
Anne, the king of hearts being her hus
band. Prince George of Denmark. The
queen of diamonds was Queen Anne
Sophia of Denmark, the queen of clubs
the then crown princess of Prussia, the
wife of Frederick William L, and the
queen of spades Princess Anne of Rus
sia, later on the czarina. The jacks
in this deck of cards represent the
most prominent diplomats of Europe
at the same time.
Another famous set of cards is an in
complete pack of old Spunish cards
found in Mexico with the supposed
bones of one of the followers of Cortex.
HER THIN ARM LOOKED PLUMP
That Is Why All, the. Other tilrl. Ax
Coins; to That I'bolou rapbrr
Xow.
She wns a pretty, slender young
woman who was having her "picture
taken," und he was a photogrupher of
resources, says the New York Times.
She was wearing a decollete gown and
in the picture hat just a bit of the up
per wart of the arm would show. It
was a pretty arm, but it was just pos
sible that in a picture where outlines
would count lorgely in the effect it
might appear too slender.
"I just know," kaid the girl in the
voice of one who has a reul grievance,
"that I shall look like a rail in the pic
ture I uni not so thin, but then, I am
not very fat, of course, anil my nrm is
sure to look like n broomstick."
"Not a bit of it," said the protog
rapher; "just tuke this and see the
effect."
"This" was a soft rubber bull which
the young womuu placed under the
urm that whs to be "taken" und with a
wee bit of pressure it plumped out
the flesh on either side beautifully, and
now all the slender girls in that set
are going to that photographer to be
phoographed.
