Foster, Author of "My Old Kentucky Home," "Suwunce River" and Othor Well-known Melodies. itIWANEE m¥BEiV r ~ and "My Old Kentuoky Homo," J which wero sung with such effect by tho colored dele gates to the Republican National Con vention, shows the extent of tho recont revival in popularity of thoso famous old Southern molodios, says tho New Orleans Picayune. Hand in hand with this announcement comes the nows that a National fund for tho erection of a monumont over the neg lected grave of their talented com poser, at Pittsbuig, Ponn,, is to he mude. It already extends throughout Pennsylvania. Forty years ago no namo among Amerionn song writers was so well known as that of Stophen Collins Fos ter. As tho writer of comio songH ho had no superior, and the songs that ho wroto at the dawn of tho Civil War, in tho dialeot of tho colored man, who was then working among tho cotton and the cano in tho far South in slav ery, caught tho popular fancy and made Foster a name that will live for timo immemorial. Nillson, Patti and all tho greatest singers of tlio day have won their laurels through rendering some of his compositions, and his name stands pre-eminont among thoso of Faync, author of "Home, Sweet Home," and othor leading composers. This is tbo fame and tho roputation of a man whose grave to-day occupies an nnfroqueuted spot in tho old Alle gheny Cemetery at Pittsburg, which tho soxton could scaroely point out to mo. Although his friends and ac quaintances live all about him, yot thoy might visit the cemetery every day with never a thought that in part of it lay the remains of hijn who was once so famous. For what man or womnn or man or child in tho oountry to-day but can "carry tbo tune" of "Old Folks at Homo," whioh, however, may be better known as "Way Down Upon the Suwaneo Bibber," or has heard tho plaintive notes of "Old Blaelc Joe," pr laughed at the humor in "0, Susanna, Don't You Cry for Me," which are only a fow of tho many things whioh came from tho faoile pen of this man. Tho songs which wero written by Foster always found a prominent place in tho campaign issues of tho dny, and somo of his sougß, which wore rewrit ten and used in tho political bnttlos of half a century ago, will be used in tho campaign, und will continuo to be used so long as tho Unitod States re mains a free country. During his oareer as a song writor, Foster wrote so many compositions that no eompleto record of them has been Uopt. It is estimated, however, that 150 of them beoamo famous, which list iucludos sneh popular dit tios as "My Old Kentuoky Home," "Come Where My Love Lies Dream ing," "Good Night," "Old Unolo Ned," "O, Susanna, Don't You Cry for Me," "Way Down Sooth," "Old Folks at Home," "Willie, Wo Have Missed You," "Open Thy Lattice, Love," "Old Black Joe," "O, Lemuel," "Old Dog Tray," "Hard Times Oomo Again No Moro," "Maggio at My Side," "Jennie With tho Light Brown Hair," "I Seo Hor Still inMy Dror ms," and "Mosta's in tho Cold, Cold Ground." Foster was born In that portion of Pittsbnrg known as Lawrouccville, on July 1, 1820, Tbie patriotic birthility wns in kcoping with tho norvioos reu dorod t'uo country by liis illustrious grandfather, William Barclay Foster, founder and for a long time tho owner of Lawroncoville. His vast estates in cluded tho present sito of tho United Status arsenal, for which tho Govern ment paid him a snug sum. Tho IIOUHO in whioh tho future song writer wan born is still standing, and is situated between Thirty-fifth and Thirty-sixth Btreets, on Peun avonno. At tho ago of thlrteon Foster was sent to Towauda, Penm, to scljool, and two years afterward ,to Athens, Ohio. At both placos ho gained tho reputa tion of being tho quietest and most modest boy in tho school. These traits clung to him through life, and his friends in Pittsburg remember him as being as "gontle as a woman." Ho completed his eduoation at Jefferson Oolloge, Oanonsburg, whoro he gradu ated with credit. Fostor then dis played an aptitude for mercantile lifo, and was sent to Cincinnati, where ho secured a position as olerk. Horo ho remained for somo months, but after tho success of his first song, ho re turned to Pittsburg and remainod un til his departure for Now York, in 1860. Ho was a rosident of the iattor city until his death, on July 13, 18G4. Foster manifested his musical bent early in lifo. When hardly able to walk ho displayed a kcon enjoyment of all kinds of musio, and as ho grow older was quiok and oorreot in oatoh ing tunes. While at Towanda ho wrote his first musical composition, "Tioga Waltz," whioh was published boforo tbo youthful author had reached his fourteenth birthday. For this he reooived the munificent reward of twenty-five copies of the piece for distribution among hiß friends. While clerking in Cincinnati ho wrote his first song, "Open Thy Lattice, Love," which was published for him by a Bal timore liouso in 1842. A fow months afterward "Old Folks at Homo," his greatest suooess, made its appear auco. It uchievcd such instant popularity that Foster was paid SSOO by one Thomas McNally to first produoe it on the minstrel stage. It spread like wildfire through the South and in a short timo the song was whistled and snog by almost every Bluve. It beoarno better known na "Way Down Upon the Suwauco Bib- [ ber," the opening line, than by the : legitimate title whioh Poster bestowed upon it. In fact, it is said tho lattor was several times persuaded, but una vuilingly, to change tho nemo. This refusal to alter anything once written was ono striking peculiarity of all Pos ter's compositions. Composing songs was as oasy to Pos ter as swinging an ax is to tllo back woodsman. All that ho noodod was a flimsy tbemo, and tho remainder came, j His brother, Morrison Poster, who is at prosont u Pittsburg business man, 1 tells of a day when his brother en- I tered his office. " 'I want tho namo of a river in tho United States containing two sylla bles,' said Stephen. I mentioned Yazoo, Peedoc, and several othor out landish names, but they would not do. Finally wo got down an old map of tho United Statos, and, as my flngors wnnderod over tho State of Florida, | they stopped on the line that marks tho course of tho Suwanee. There they stopped. 'That will do,' said Stephen, as ho left the office. I nover gavo the matter any further thought until some weeks later I discovered that ray brother had written a song about the name, and had given it to tho world, 'Old Folks at Homo.' " Weary of tho tedious confinement which frequently came to him, Fostor sought rest and quietude in the sum mer of 1859, at the residence of his cousin, Judge John Bowan, near Bards town, Ky. Ho was so pleased with tho place, whioh he called his retreat, that, during his stay there, ho com posed a song, which is known to tho world as "My Old Kentucky Home." A movement is now on foot in Pitts burg to start a National subscription for the purpose of orootiug a monu . ment to the memory of this genius, whicli will bo plaood in ono of tho parks of that oity. It is the intontion of tho projectors to complete the fund and have tho monumont unveiled on the 4th of July, 1897, which Will be tho annivorsary of the birth of tho composer. No American song writer has acquired such a reputation as has Fostor and that his grave should have been neglected for so long is tho won der of all who look for tho spot mark ing his last resting place. Freak ol' an Old Duck. Ono of tho oldost ducks in Han Francisco is named Tom, and ho be longs to Charles Young, who lives in tho Potrero, about two blocks back from the shores of tho bay. Tom is nearly six years old, and up to a few months ago was always diguitiod and as correct in his demsanor as tho or dinary duck. About that time, how over, ho becamo possessed of a straugo desire to accumulate all tho old shoos on tho water front. Early every morning he starts out by himself and is often gone for sev eral hours. When he returns ho is sure to bring an old shoe and store it away in the poultry houso. As soon as ho feels satisfied that nobody will intorfero with it, ho starts out again, and soon returns with another. Ho will keep this up all day, nnd if shoes are plontiful will havo soveral dozen in places stored away by nightfall. Tom had beon at this peculiar busi ness for soveral days bofore ho was discovered, and when his ownor weut to tho poultry house and saw the pilos of old footwear, ho thought that ho was being mado tbo victim of a prac tical joko. He dumped tho old shoes out and was more than surprised to see Tom deliberately start to carry thorn back again. Young carriod tho the shoes as far away as ho oould, but in a fow hours tho duck had them where ho wanted them, and started out for more. Sinco Tom has beon in the "shoe business ho has forsaken the other ducks altogether, and seems to have but one desiro in lifo. People who have seen him think that it is a case of tho duck going crazy. Mr. Young has given Tom his own way tho last six months, and mado it a business to throw the shoos out evory few days, so as to give him a cliauco to curry them back again. But ho says it is gotting monotonous, and that if Tom doesn't got over his fool ishnoss socu ho will bo forced to try a remedy that tvili snroly ouro him, al though ho hates this, beuauso Tom is too old and tough to mako good eat ing.—San Francisco Call. Tho Fair Bicyclist and tho Enragcil Mnlo Yesterday morning a .vomaa was riding along tho smooth asphalt of South Figuoron street. A wagon drawn by two big mules was driving slowly along tho street.

Ills Pirates live by Plundering Help less Veaaels Near Their Shores lie Lives In a Cave In llar burlc Splendor. TIIE eruolont monarch in tho world is again making him self felt. KiDg Riff, King of tho Riffs, ruler of the Errif country, has taken advautage of the troubles of his noighbors, England and Spain, and is again ruling the high seaß of the Moditorranoan after his old polioy. The Riffs began thoir doprcdations a thousand years ago. Then they had no name, hut ns thoir course lay thou along the Riviera, Italy, the name Riviera was ehortouod to Riff. This was in the Morocco dialoot, and it clung to thorn. Tho kingdom of tho Riffs is that part of tho Mediterranean opposite the Rook of Gibraltar. It extends back into the Atlas Mountains, and completely fills tho low-lying hills and up-jotting peaks of tho coast. Tho name Errif Mountains was long sineo bostowod upon theso hills, wherein no white man daroß to go. The Biffs havo settlements which thoy oall towns or villagos, and hero they livo generation after generation with their wivos and familios. Their homes are mixtures of barbaric splendor and squalor. They havo what thoy capture on tho high seas, but they lack the simplest olomouta of civilized life. Tho priuoipal possessions of tho Riffs is a small boat, called a folucoa, holding not more than ten men. It has no soils, and is takon along swiftly by oars. Upon tho waters of tho Mediterranean you see theso folucoa lying peacefully about, with large nots between them and the sailors ongagod in fishing. This craft is also used ty tho honost shore folk, and tkero is nothing in tho outsido appearance to indicate whother tho oeoujjants bo these or the dangerous Riff pirates. Only a short time ago tho Dutch briguutine Anna set sail from a port on the Adriatic Sea witli'a cargo of oil bound for a port on tho coast of Brit tauy. She was manned by a crow of six. Tho Anna sailed safely along until she reached Centa, whioh is tho poiut direotly opposite Gibraltar. There a calui fell over her, and sho lay seven miles from shoro. All around wero these folucoa fishing. Ono of tho crew of the Anna notiood a felucca pulling toward her. In tho boat wore ton dark, ugly Moors, armed with ltnivos, clubs and rifios. Their faces had a savago look, and their heads were tho ballet shapo of the Moor-Riffs. Tho lcador called to tho Auna to lower sail. The Anna's crow refnsod. A shrill whistlo brought up another folnooa, and another, and soon the Riffs stood aboard tho Dutch boat, with tho Captain lying on tho deck fatally wounded, and tho crew cowed. When tho Riffs loft tho Anna the oil was gone; so was tho bedding, the side-lights, cooking utensils, ship's im plements and everything that could he carried away, exoept the sails, for whioh tho Riffs had no use. The crew they stripped, and loft them tied to the dook. When wind filled their sails and drifted them over to tho European shoro it was a sorry oargo that the Anna landed. Tho European Powers havo taken turns stamping out tho Rilf pirates. Sjrain, aftor tho Molila war, started to exterminate the Riffiaus, and would probably havo done so had not the British interferred. John Bull became jealous of tho riches of tho Morocco const, and warned Spain to keep her hands off. A few months luter the British ship, the Virgen delos Angeles, was attacked and completely lootod of all possessions. The crews escaped by offering everything, even to the shoes on their feet. By tho timo England had sent her warships to the Mediterranean the Riffs had apparently withdrawn, and only a few peaceful fishermen were to bo found. Tho Itlff settlements are prosided over by a king, who takos his name from his band. So muoh was found out by Duvoyrior, nn adventurous Frenchman, who, in disguise, traveled through Errif Mountains. Ho found there forts with armaments of (1000 guns. He found cannon, rifles, bayonots and oven dynamito. He found swords, knives, olubs and tho savago weapons of barbarians, and ho found, too, an interesting collection of skulls and oross-bones, whioh tho Riff pirates of old days ueed to carry at tho poaks of their vessels. The religion of the Riff pirates, for , thoy aro a race of long established an i oostry, is a mixtnro of Mohammedan ism and Christianty. Thoy are Moors, and thoy are the Barbary Rangers who wero fnmed as long ago as storios were written. "Wator devils" they wore oallod by tho peacoful dwellers of Southern Europe and tho citizens of Morocco. But there they havo lived for hundroda of years, nover adding to | their nuinbor from outside their own I oluuu, and never intermarrying with : other races, until now thoy havo tho | most powerful savago kingdom on tho I globo. Thoir worship is partly a firo worship. Yet thoy havo a rovorouco for tho oruuilix, and iu thoir rudu homos thoro are church ornament;-, - erossos, aud beads carefully troasurod from tho looting of the ships. Thoir | business is that of plunder, and to , thoir barbarian way of looking at it is | a legitimate moans of livelihood. The sway of the Riff king is the most absolute on earth. He carries always in his hand a olub, and is armed to the tooth with kuivos and rifles. Insubor dination, any attempt to usurp his power, any failure to give up plunder, is punished by him with instant death. Ho lives in a cave, low, but of groat depth, and at a roaring fire in front of it his food IR prepared. There aro no women in his shore household, and his slaves are Riff pirates chosoa by him to work for him. Reports of him deciaro him to revel in tho bloodshed of his pirate slaves. Tales of cruelty fill tho Barbary coast. When plunder is not brought in fast enough and when attacks are made upon tho pirate band, tho rago of tho king is ungovornable, and with his great bone club ho fells his slaves right and left. All of tho imraonso plunder of tho Riffs is token to the king. It is sorted by him and his slaves into separate lots. Gold, silver, iron, cloth, and provisions aro oolleotod in great lots, and placed in oaves. Each cavo is guarded by a Riff guard armed with knives. Provisions, jewels, motals and nec essary clothing aro dealt out by tho king to his pirates, a reward for their misdeeds, and tokeu by thorn back into tho tanglo of wild hills, whero they have homes oud farms. Hero at homo the king lives in wild splendor, in tho richest of tho Barbary valleys. In oruelty tho Riff pirate is unique in warfare. He admits of no fighting back. It 1B a word and a blow, and tho blow means death. Once having rosisted a Riff, no man is allowed to live, not though he may hoist tho white flag of surrondor, and beg on his knees for his life. He lias givon tho Riff too much trouble. This is the king's order. Tho king never stirs from his domain. In justice to the Riff it may be told that ho has not al ways taken tho lifo of the crew of the plundered vessel. Ho is after tho booty, not after life, and if that is freely givon up to him ho will return. Explorers who have had descrip tions of the Riff king say ho is a fat bodied, rough-headed Moor with a face brutal enough and without refine ment, but with enough cunning to prompt him to take udvantngo of tho Anglo-Egyptian and Spanish troubles to make tho Mediterranean his own freo laud. Sign Language at Fires. Among the accomplishments of Chief William 0. McAfee, of tho Firo De partment, is that of conversing with deaf mutes by tho sign language, says tho Baltimore Sun. Tho other day tho Chief attracted utteution in a ros tuurant wore ho sat silently convers ing with a group of deaf mutes. Ho picked up his knowledge of sign talking from a deaf mute friend who visits him at his headquarters. His circle of acquaintances among tho si lont peoplo has gradually widened un til now it includes a number of men in various occupations, each of whom is known among his follows by somo peculiarity of his own or tho occupa tion he follows, which is expressed iu a sign made with one or both hands. In an extended conversation Chief Mc- Afee spells out tho words to his friends by means of tho finger nlphabot, of which ho is tho master both of tho one-liaud and two-haiil methods. Tho application of signs to replace spoken orders in the working of the Fire Department suggested itself to Chief McAfee several years ago. When ho was couuoctod with Engine Com pany No. I ho introduood signs for turning on and off water, bringing a firo oxtiuguishor and other short or ders which had frequently to bo given from a distanco. The objections found to tho goneral application of sign or ders wore that smoko obscured them, as did tho darkness of night. In the day time and with a small fire, whero tho volume of smoko was not great, tho signs wore found to work satisfac tory. Fish That Yawn. It is not generally known that fish yawn. Tho writer saw a turbot yawn twice, and a cod once—tho latter being one of tho widest yawns accomplished by any animal of its size. The yawu of a turbot being something not com monly seen, deserves more particular description. A turbot's mouth is twisted on ono side, rather as if it had belonged to a round fish which somo ouo had accidoutally trodden on and squashed half flat. Tho yawn begins at tho lips, which open as if to suck in water. Thou tho jaws become dis tended, and it is seen that this is going to bo a real, genuine submarine fish's yawn. But tho yawn goes on, works through the back of its head, distend ing the plates of tho skull, and oomes out at the gills, which open, show tho rod inside, aro inflated for a moment, and then, with a kind of stretching shiver of its hack, tho fish flattens out again, until, if unusually bored, it re lieves itself by another yawn,—Tho Spectator. Death by Boiling. In Old England, before tho law was passed which prohibited "cruel and unusual forms of punishment," mur derers wero often condemned to death by boiling. In such cases the viotims wero chained in largo kettles of cold water, which was gradually heated un tif it caused the flesh to drop from the bones. The last English victim of the "boiling death" was ono Rouse, a cook, who, it was alicgod, had killed seventeen persons. Tho Fatal Horse and Wagon. If tho statistics of accidents could be collected it would iu all probability bo shown that fcUo moat dangerous way of traveling is with a horse and wagon. SVo believe there is authority for stat ing that in proportion to the number of people traveling iu various convey ances, horses and wagons kill nioro people thuu steamboats or railroads or trolley cars or bicycles.—Pough kecpsio Eagle.
