To load cattle they are driven from a stene corral through an opening that leads into the surf, walled on either side with reck. One Kanaka cowboy, having his lariat around the wildly plunging steer’s horns, makes fast to the pommel of saddle, while another, riding behind, “gets a twist on the steer’s tail, and io- gether, one dragging, the other twisting, they go careering through the opening into the surf, the wild steer thinking that he seey an opening for escape.

He dove from the steamer at once, finally got on the mule’s back, and, helding its ears, guided it toward the ship, wken the mule began to buck, but, as he had no solid starting place for his jump. did it quite unsuccessfully, and was finally heid up alongside the steamer with a lariat until the boat came back. How the Colors Were Saved. From the London Chronicle. There has just died in Paris a lady whose fortune it was at the eariy aze of three months to play a romantic part in the great Napoleonic drama. At the time of her birth in 1815 her father, Col. Paul of the 27th French Infantry, commanded the gar- rison of Toul. On the news cf Napoleon's return from Elba he hurried south to join his old master, leaving in charge of his wife not merely the baby Adele, but also {he colors of his regimen:. In due course Toul was taken, and the victors sougit high and low for the missing flag. Mme. Paul, with her baby in acr arms, had per- foree to take af pretenled shvre in the search, which proved fruitless, as she had cunningly wrapped it round Mile. Adele's utile body underneath her baby clothes. The girl lived to marry M. Romain Caze, the well-known ‘decorative artist, whose work -may be seen in so many Parisien churches. The colors w-e restered to the regiment, but the corls and tassels, jong retained as souvenirs of the Paul mily, will now be given to the Musee de l'Armee. ——~---—____ If you want anything, try. an ad. in Star.

At a meeting today of the building com- mittee in charge of the installation of the underground,electric system on the Cap!- tal Traction road, it was decided to adopt the Parmenter wheel-guard and fender for use on the rehabilitated road. This wheel- gtard and fender is the same which was recently selected by the Metropolitan Street Railway Company and is now in use on the Connecticut avenue cars of that line. The contract has been awarded for these fenders and when the new motor cars ar- rive this Wevice will be attaehed. The trailer cars used on the cable road can be utilized when the road is again in opera- tion, and it will therefore be necessary the only to purchase the motor cars. The buiiding committee is holding dally sessions and the attention of the members is occupied in considering the various de- vices offered for their inspection and ap- preval. As rapidly as possible the com- mittee is completing all arrangements for precuring the necessary materials to be used in the installation of the new system. The daily sessions are held in the room of the Union station building in Georgetown, which has been occupied by President Dun- lop as his office since the recent destruction by fire of the cable power house on Penn- sylvania avenue. Adjoining this office is a long room where Mr. Caril, the engineer &nd genéral superintendent, has his desk, and here collect the numerous callers who have business with the building committee. At present the bulk of these callers are the enterprising and pushing gentlemen who Tepresent various concerns scattered throughout the counfry that have devices and material which they think the traction company ought to have. They represent’ anything from a car to a curtain fastener, and they have photographs and models and everything of that sort which they wish the committee to look over. Altogether the members of the commit- tee, es well as Mr. Carll, are finding their time pretty well occupied just at present, but they realize the importance of procecd. ing as rapidly as possible, and they exp’ that the rush will be over in the course of a few days. There is nothing rew in the general-sit- uation touching the relation of the Met- ropelitan and Capital Traction Company, but it still continues to be a subject of much interest and 2 gocd deal of specula- ion is indulged in. Those interested di- rectly in the management of the two com- panies still deny that there is anything in the rumcrs about the ccnsolidation of the two companies, and those cn the outside who are in a position to form a pretty ac- curate judgment of what is likely to happen seem to be of the opinion now that no move- ment of this sort is likely to be carried out just at the present time. In the near fu- ture it is thovght by these authorities that there is a Hkelihood of something develop- ing which will affect the ‘personnel of the management of the two companies, if it does not bring about an actual consolida- tion. At present it is surmised that the Capital “Tracticn Company will bend its energies to establish the new motive power in the belief that when the improvemen:s are completed the earnings of the road will show a icrge increase. —_—>+—__- CALVERT THEIR CHOICE. Maryland Wants His Statue in the Capitol. The Maryland Historical Soelety, at a meeting last night in Baltimore, decided in faver of Cecilius Calvert as the subje:t of the firat of the two statues of famous Mary- landers to be placed in the hall of stat- uary in the Cepitol building, this city. The society was requested by the special com- mission appointed by the governor to sub- mit its suggestions, and in accordance with this request a special committee was appointed by the society to consider the subject. Fhe committee was unable to agree as to the subject for the second statue, but suggested that it be chosen from among the following distinguished Marylanders of revolutionary times: Thos. Johnson, John Hanson and John Eager Howard. In their report the committee states that it was unanimously determined “that Ce- cilius. Calvert, the first lord pyoprietary end founder of the province, hy reason of his peculiar relations to the istory of the state, and his perfect fulfillment of all requirements, is pre-emineatly worthy of this national commemoration.” —+ Alleged Pocket Picking. The police were informed today that A. McDermott of No. 491 F street southwest was robbed yesterday. His report is that his pocket was picked of a silver watch, gold chain and charm. The robbery was committed on the street. — For Promoting Policy. Benjamin Kirby, who has already been convicted twice of promoting policy, today pleaded guilty of a third offense of the same kind, and was committed to jail for six months by Judge Kimball. ———_—_ Work of Bicycle Thieves. An “Ideal” bicycle, stolen from Robert J. Kirkpatrick Saturday night, was found abandoned iny an alley near 9h and I streets last night. The tire had been taken ‘rom the front wheel. Saturday a well-dressed colored man hired a wheel at Aukam’s bicycle establish- ment, and late at night a small boy re- turned it. Two old wheels had been sub- stituted for the good ones. —— Breach of Contract Alleged. Joseph Rothstein today sued Isaac Israel, trading as the standard tallors, claiming $1,100 damages because of alleged breach of contract. Through Attorney Edward L. Gier the plaintiff charges that the de- fendent last month agreed to give him all of his work in the line of coat making for the season of 1897-08, but in about two weeks’ time let the work out to a Baltimore party. —_.___ Father Mathew’s Birthday.

LONDON, October 12.—The Bank of Eng- land has raised the price of eagles a half- penny per ounce. This, and tts raising of the price of bar. gold, will avert, it is ex- pected, a further advance in the ‘bank rate this week. The Standard in its financial article this morning says: “If America wants more eagles the bank Probably will advance the price still an- other halfpenny. The Americans do not want our bar gold. They prefer eagles, and while this is their mood the policy of advancing the prices of eagles may succeed in staving off or reducing the drain upon the bank's stock.” ee Soe ASHEVILLE, N. €., BANK CLOSED.

ASHEVILLE, N. ©., October 12—When the First National Bank failed on July 30 many depositors in the Western Carolina Bank endeavored to draw out thelr funds. The sixty-day rule was enforced as soon as the demand became large, and this morn: ing the bank did not open its doors. A statement on the decor says: “This bank closed for liquidation. It is understood that the bank was over- loaded with real estate, espectally country property, on which realization will be slow.

General Brown the Only -Of- ficer Left—What the Mem- bern Say. ‘The Women’s National Cuban League is officerless and practically memberless, with the exception of the director general, Mrs. lara Bell Brown. This fact, however, does ‘not effect the actual existence of the ieagie, for under its ccnstitution the organization is perpetual and the terms of the offices of those who care to continue holding them is likewise without "an end during natural life. The league was formed about a year ago by Mrs. Brown for the purpuse of cre- ating practical interest in the sufferings of the Cuban insurgents and raising funds for the purpose of feeding the hungry and at- tending to the wants of the s.ck in the desolated istand. Mrs. Brown prepared and published in the daily papers the program it was in- tended to follow, and this was followed by the announcement that a meeting had been held, and that the Women’s National Cu- ban League formally organized, with Mrs. Clara Bell Brown, director gencral; Mrs. M. D. Lincoln, vice director general; Mrs. Alice Lee Moque, adjutant; Mrs. Mariha C. Hunt, treasurer; Mrs. Clara Colby, secre- tary, and Miss Mabel Clayton, correspond- ing secretary. The constitutwn of the tody was drawn up by Judge Moulton, an attorney of this city, and was adopted at @ meeting attended by the officers and two or three other ladies. A Military Despotism. The head and front of the league was Mrs. Brown, end it soon developed, it is said, to the satisfaction of the officers and the few other members who had join- ed, that she was director general in every sense of the word. Mrs. Brown claimed that the system which sheuld govern the league ehould be “military” and that a superior officer could summarily dismiss any member, who might be guilty of in- subordination, while the authority of the director general, she declared to be su- preme. An Inclination Toward Inquiry. Some of the members of the league about this time began to regard it as singular that no report was made of the amount or the dispesition of the funds collected from different sources, but no specific action was taken, as the “treasurer” was absent from the city. Things went along for a few wecks and meetings were held at the Riggs House, which were attended by anywhere from half a dozen to sixteen people, and di satisfaction became more and more _:p- parent all the time. The “treasurer,” M Martha C. Hunt, returned from the wes where she had been for four mionth: About this time the first practical illus- tration of the discontent that exisced in the organization was given by the resigna- tion of the secretary, Mrs. Clara Colby, who resigned in July last. Resignations Publicly Announced. The officers who had resigned and the others who had stopped attending the meetings and had given up all connection with the affairs of the league, as well as the members who had also become discon- tented with the course of affairs, talked the matter over among their friends and the matter becoming publicly talked of, Mrs. Brown announced, only a few days ago, that there were no dissensions in the league, and that it was progressing finely. These representations caused the issuing of a public statement, that was published today, and sigred by Mrs. M. D. Lincoln, vice director general; Mrs. Alice Lee Mcque, adjutant; Mrs. Martha C. Hunt, treasurer, and Mabel Clayton, secretary. These ladies stated that they had xesigyed from the of- fices lately held by them in the Women’s National Cuban League, and had also se ered membership with the organization. They further stated that tueir sympathies were still with the Cubans, but for personal reasons they preferred to exert their efforts in other directions for their relief. Mrs. Linceln’s Statement. A reporter of ‘The Star called on the first three ladies named today and had an in- teresting visit. The ladies were naturally averse to talking over the affairs of the Womg::'s National Cuban League, but naturally did so before the calls were con- cluded. Mrs. Lincoln stated that she had remained with the organization as long as she consistently could, and that she be- lieved it had generated into a farce. In respons2 to a question if any report had ever been made of the funds received and the disposition mzde of them, Mrs. Lincoln said she did not know of any such reports being made. She said that she understgod that the ‘collections at the first Sunday meeting at the Columbia Theater amounted to about #200. Mrs. Hunt had never been the treas- urer except in name, and had immediately resigned and declined to act as treasurer when she returned from the west four or five months after she had been elected to the office, during which entire time she had been out of: the city. Mrs. Lincoln said t she understood that $75 had been given to Dr. Winn, to be sent to Cuba, but that no report of it had been made to any meeting. She said that Mrs. Brown had acted as treasurer, and had told her four or five weeks ago that she had deposited the meney in hand in the Washington Loan and Trust Company, and more recently had said that Judge Moulfon had told her (Airs. Brown) that she had authority to draw out the money on her account whenever she might think it necessary for the benefit of the league. Talk With “Treasurer” Hunt. Mrs. Martha C. Hunt received The Star reporter in the parlor of her handsome residence, 1761 R street, just off New. Hampshire avenue. She was very much disinclined to speak about the affairs of the Woman’s National Cuban League, but consented finally to do so. “I was never the treasurer of the organi- zation,” said Mrs. Hunt, “and I never at- tended a meeting of it in my life. I be- came acquainted with Mrs. Brown just about the time that she was forming this leegue. I was compelled to go west on important business. While I was west Mrs. Brown wrote me that the league had been formed, and that she thought it would be nice if I should take some active part in it, and wanted to have me elected treas- arer. I wrote back, saying. that I would not take the office, put got another letter from her, stating that I had been elected o it. “When I returned to Washington, four months latef, I absolutely declined to have anything to do with the <@ice or to handle any of the funds, and I never did.” The League is Defanct. Mrs. Alice Lee Moque, -the well known authoress and newspaper writer, was after- ward visited at her residence, 1807 13th street. She received The Star reporter pleasantly, but declared that she did not want to be interviewed. At last, however, she said: “You can truthfully say that the Women's National Cuban League is de- funct. There is no other word fit to de- scribe it, and I do not care to go into har- rowing details of the existence of the league. “I was a very enthusiastic person regard- ing it at one time, but as loyalty is a very strong trait with me I discovered that I could no longer remain connected with any- thing managed in such a-way.. Was I ene of the auditors? Oh, yes. Mrs. Brown ap- pointed me an auditor against my wishes, ut I never served as such. I was shown bills that were sent in after the entertain- mient at the Barber grounds, and they seemed to me to be prodigious.” “Will Go om as Before.” The secretary Miss Mabel Clayton, could not be found by The Star reporter, and the same result was reached when he endeav- ored to see Mrs. Clara Bell Brown. A tele- phone message was reeeived at The Star office, however, from Mrs. Brown, shortly after nobn today, which ted. vwas ill, but that she: wanted: it- ‘Rounced that “the work League EY ‘Fhe Busy Corner, 8th-and Market Space.
