Office over City Drug Store MUTINEERS IN CONTROL OF GITY Portuguese Troops Capture Town of Macao. ENFORCE THEIR LEMANDS Train Guns on Governor’'s House and Then Present List of Grievances, Which Are Remedied Under Threat. Convent Raided by the Malcontents and the Nuns Forced to Seek Refuge -in Hongkong. Macao, Island of Macao. China, Dec. 1.—The Portuguese troops of the local garrison and the crew of the Portu- guese gunboat Patria revolted and, taking possession of the city, proceed- ed to enforce certain changes in the administration of the affairs of this dependency of Portugal. The rebels continue in control, the governor and military officers being powerless. The revolt began with the landing of the sailors of the Patria, who marched to the public square, where they fired three volleys as a signal to the troops, who at once forced an entrance to the armeory and, arming themselves, joined the seamen. Several hundred strong the rebels proceeded to Santa Clara convent, from which they drove out the nuns, ordering them to leave the island. The nuns fled to Hongkong. From the convent the rebels marched to Government House, before which they mounted a cannon. An in- terview with the governor was request- ed and when the officers at Government House intervened they were silenced at the point of the bayonet. The governor was compelled to hear the demands, which were the expul- sion of the religious orders, increased pay for the army and navy, the sup- pression of the newspaper Vida Nova and the righting of alleged wrongs suffered by the soldiers and sailors. Under threat the government grant- ed every demand. GREAT ALARM AT HONGKONG Foreign Consuls Anxious for Safety of Countrymen at Macao. Hongkong, Dec. 1.—There is intense anxiety here over the Macao situation and foreign consuls are making urgent inquiries regarding the security of the citizens of their countries and their property in Macao. The Chinese viceroy has been warned to have troops in readiness for action. British citizens of Macao are arriving here. Macao was settled by Portuguese merchants in the latter part of the Sixteenth century and long ago was a flourishing port. After the cession of Hongkong to the British the trade of Macao declined rapidly. The city was subsequently ceded to Portugal by China. Gradually the Portuguese ex- tended their rule over the whole island of Macao. China objected to this ex- tension of territory and, insisting that the only concession ever made to Por- tugal was limited to the city of Macao, has frequently clashed with the Lis- bon government over their respective territorial rights. CHOLERA ENTERS WISCONSIN Train From Soo Carries Case Among Russian Immigrants. Cumberland, Wis,, Dec. 1.—Acting upon instructions received from the state board of health the local board of health of the township of Almena, this county, quarantined the entire Russian colony, twelve miles south of this city. A couple of days ago a band of Rus- sian immigrants arrived at Almena, among them being Gotlieb Jenschke. | All came from the Black Sea district, in the chnlera zone. Jenschke was ill upon his arrival and the Almena phy- sicians pronounced his ailment chol- era. The sick man and the party came into this country from Sault Ste. Marie, over the Soo line to Almena. WEST VIRGINIA SOLONS ILL Both Members of Upper House Are Under Doctor’s Care. ‘Washington, Dec. 1.—West Virginia faces the prospect of being unrepre- sented in‘the upper house when con- gress convenes next Monday. Senator Scott is suffering with a nervous breakdown and ulcer of the stomach. Senator Elkins is also said to be in a very serious condition. In Senator Elking’ case the reports are conflicting. His physicians say of- ficially that he is improving, but oth- ers in a position to know of the sena- tor’s condition do not take this op- timistic view. - Tennessee Increase Small. ‘Washington, Dec. 1.—The popula- tion of the state of Tennessee is 2, 184,789. This is an increase of 164, 173, or 8.1 per cent, over 2,020,616 in 1900. The increase from 1890 to 1900 was 233,098, or 14.3 per cent. Sixteen Drowned at Sea. Corunna, Spain, 'Dec. 1—A wild gale caused heavy damage to shipping along the coast. 'A coasting 'vessel capsized and sixteen persons were | drowned. Burma’s Gilded Pagoda. . Rangoon, the principal city of Burma, grew up around the. sacred spot on which is built the great Shoay Dagon pagoda. one of its principal wonders. “Rising te a height of 360 feet, its size is greatly enhanced by the fact that it stagds on an eminence that is itself 166 feet above the level of the city.” says a writer. *“It is covered with pure gold from base to summit, and once in every generation this gold is complete- ly renewed by public subscription. Yet throughout the interval the process of regilding goes on.perpetually. Pious people who seek in this way to express their veneration and to add to their store of spiritual merit climb up daily with little fluttering packets of gold leaf. which they fasten on some frac- tion of its great surface. There is no more picturesque sight offered by it than that of a group of these silken worshipers outlined high against its gold In the act of contributing their small quota to its splendor. The pago- da itself has no interior. ‘It is a solid stupa of brick raised over a relic chamber.” Old Man of the Mountain. The title *Old Man of the Mountain™ was first applied to Hassan Ben Sab: bal, who founded a formidable dynas- ty in Syria A. D. 1090. He was the prince or chief of the sect of the Mo- hammedans. Having been banished from his country. he took up his abode in Mount Lebanon and gathered round him a band of followers, who soon be- came the terror alike of Christians, Jews and Turks. They paid the most implicit obedience to his commands and believed that if they sacrificed their lives for his sake they would be rewarded with the highest joys of paradise. For 200 years these *‘assas- sins.’ as they called themselves, con- tinued to be the terror of the country. Whenever their chief, the “Old Man of the Mountain,” considered himself injured he dispatched some of his as- sassins secretly to murder the aggres sor. This'is the origin of our use of the word assassin for a secret murderer. Serpents and Music. Barnard concludes from his personal observation of cobras in Ceylon, says the Scientific American, that the ser- pent’s traditional love for music is a pure fable and that the ouly effect of music is to arouse the reptile’s curios- ity. which is excited by any loud and acute sound. The cobra protrudes its head from its burrow alike on hearing the snake charmer’s flute, the rattling of a chain or the sounds made by beating the ground with a switch. It appears to perceive only sounds of high pitch, for it pays no attention to the low notes of the flute or the beat- ing of the drum. Barnard also con- firmed in Ceylon.the results of obser- vations made in the London zoological garden on the supposed power of fas- cination exerted by serpents upon, birds. and he concludes that this pow- er of fascination is also purely imag- inary. Arms and the Men. *1 see you have your arm in a sling.” sald the inquisitive passenger. *Bro- ken, is it?" “Yes, sir,”" responded the otber pas- senger. “Meet with an accident?” *“No. Broke it while | was trying to pat myself on the back.” “Great Scott! What for?” “For minding my own business.” *“l see. Never could happen to me. could it?” “No.” . “And if it did 1 wouldn’t be blame fool enough to tell it.” Then there was silence in the car.— Chicago Tribune, The Change of a Name. How family names change in the coirse of many years is illustrated by the conversion of *“Botevile” into “Thynne.” An English deed bearing date iu the closing days of the fifteenth century shows three brothers then flourishing—John Botevile of Botevile and Thomas and William . Botevile. The trio are distinguished from all oth- er Boteviles by the explanation “of the Inne,” or family residence, the title to which had come to their joint posses- sion. .Johwn's grandson was known as Ralph Botevile-of-the-1nne, from which the transition to Ralph Thyme is easy. His descendants have been Thynnes ever since. ¢ He Wanted Figs. At a small stag dinner the only young and unnoteworthy person pres- ent sat throughout the meal commun- ing with his own bashful soul, afraid lest by speaking he betray nis sophis- tication. Dessert being served, he felt || he must have some of the candied fruit at the other end of the table. Clearing his voice, he fixed the nearest || waiter with a glittering eye and. amid a sudden total silence, peremptorily || called out at the top of his voice, “Pigs, tleas!”—Exchange. Found Wanting. Mrs. Laytebyrd (as Laytebyrd comes in unsteadily at 3 a. m.)—You have no excuse for coming home at this hour and in this condition. Laytebyrd—I had one, my dear, and it was a grand one. but I can’t think what it was. i The Head of the Family.
