Aug. 25, 1807 WEALTH OF .VEST AFRICA THAT FRANCE AND ENGLAND ARE AFTER. file Tradesmen of the Two European Cwantrlea Are Engaged In m Struggle For Conquest Which May Call For Ar bitration to Prevent a War. James Pinnock, African merchant of Liverpool, who was one of the original promoters of the Royal Niger company and director for many years, in the coarse of an interview with a represent ative tif The Daily Mail, said: "1 went out to west Africa 40 years ago and vis ited almost every port and place in that region, inclndiug the Niger, many times, and my bnsiness has been with west Africa ever since. In 1870 I built a steamer, called the Rio Formoso, spe cially for service on tbe river Niger, and with her I explored and opened up, for the first time in history, the river For cados. This river flows into the Atlantio and is one of the entrances to the Niger. ' ' The importance of this great river Niger and the hinterland is well known to those who are engaged in the African trade, but we can only expect it will slowly dawn on the mind of the British public. I am convinced, however, the more they look into it the more impor tant they will see it is to the interests of British trade not to lose any of it. "Fifteen years ago there were four firms trading on the Niger. They were the West African company, the Central African Trading company (and with this latter Taubman Bros. one of them now Sir Taubman Goldie were con nected), Miller Bros, and myself. We all four firms joined and called ourselvea the United African company, which was subsequently changed to the Na tional African company and after that again to thus F.oyal Niger company. "The position today," continued Mr. Pinnock, "would be better understood if a good map could be put before the public of the whole hi nterland of our west African colonies, euch a thing un fortunately does not exist at present. The strict geography of the country is only understood by a very few. Our knowledge of the hinterland, however, has increased immensely during the past few years, and to instance' one particu larly large territory I would point out tbat the French flag is already flying at innumerably towns and stations extend ing from 4 degrees east longitude to 2 degrees west' longitude and from about 6 degrees north latitude (in the neigh borhood of Porto Novo and the Daho mey country) to the town of Say on tbe Niger, which is between 13 degrees and 14 degrees north. The English flag is to be found to the east of Porto Novo, and extending inland to the neighborhood of Nikki (now occupied by the French) to various degrees of latitude wherein are found the three British possessions and protectorates of Lagos, the Niger Coast protectorate and the Royal Niger company. "It is from the interior, however, that the future great wealth of Africa will be derived, and if all this is allow ed to fall into the lap of France she will be possessed of an empire second only if not equal in the future to the whole of onr Indian empire. "See what South Africa has already developed into, and as far only as min erals are concerned. The soil of Africa has not yet been barely scratched. The population of this part of Africa, with the advent of railways, stoppage of the slave trade, cessation of internal tribal warfare, will increase in equal ratio to that of the most favored parts of the southern states of America I mean as far as the multiplication of the negro population is concerned. "The development of this hinterland will, in my opinion, exceed all the dreams of the most enthusiastic coloni al party in France. Both France and England have, sacrificed many men and much money in the race to grasp this priceless treasure, and the difficulty of apportioning it will, I believe, be so great that it is more than probable, to avert extremes, it will have to be re ferred to some other nation, or council of nations, to arbitrate on, as the mat ter is far too weighty for easy or speedy settlement "As evidence of the activity of the French I may point to the railway from Senegal to the upper Niger. This is being poshed forward with a farther vote of 1,000,000 francs from the Caisse des Depots et Consignations, thns oat ting and beading off all our possessions from Gambia, Sierra Leone, the Gold Coast and Lagos down to the river Niger. "A very great deal, if not tbe whole of the trouble on the Niger, ' ' added Mr. Pinnock, "would never have arisen but for the obnoxious charter given to the Royal Niger company. By reason of this charter every trader, white and black, British or otherwise, 8 entirely excluded from the country , Rar the river and atijacent country i'eix thTown open to free and legitimate trade, as all merchants have been clamoring so long for, backed up by the chambers of com merce of Liverpool and Manchester, all the places in question would have long since been full of British subjects, white and colored. - Trade would have devel oped a thousandfold, and the French would never have gone near it."

As my horse, puffing like a porpoise, drew me and my buckboard up the last sharp acclivity of the mountain road that led out into the pass between the summits rising on either hand he would have exercised his privilege and stopped a moment to blow, but 100 yards ahead of us I saw a bright bit of calico gleam ing in the morning sun, and, driving on, I came up to a buxom mountain maid sitting on a stump at a point where a footpath leading up from the valley met the main road. "Good mornin," she said before I had a chance to stop, and there seemed to be an anxious tone in the voice. "Good morning," I responded, and I was on the point of asking her how far it was to the next place, a favorite man ner of starting a conversation on moan tain roads, when 'she broke in. " Air you a preacher?" she asked "No," I answered, with a smile, for 1 had never been asked that question be fore. "Nor a squire?" "No." "Well, Jim Martin's comin along this away purty soon now, an I wuz jis' axin so's thar wouldn't be no mis takes." "I don't quite understand your ex planation, " I said, completely in the dark as to what she was trying to get alt "I reckon not, but I ain't takin no chances, an I thought I'd better stop you while I had the chance. " "Thank you, I'm sure, but if yon will tell me what's up I may be able to know what you are talking about." She laughed good naturedly. "Well, you see it's this a-way," she said. "Jim, he's been a-courtin an a-sparkin round me fer about two ye'r now, an last night he popped an says ez bow ef I'd be here this mornin ez he come along we'd go down to Logville an git bitched, an Jim's mighty onreli able, an like's not ef we got thar an the preacher ner the squire warn't thar I'd never git Jim in the mind ag'in, so I kinder thought mebbe you might be the squire er tbe preacher an I didn't want you to git away. Ef you meet Jim any wheres down the road, don't tell him you seen me, fer I don't want hire, akeert." Washington Star. A Wonderfsl Parrot of India Which, Che Natives Claim, Thinks. A little bird in town did a surprising thing the other day, though that ia the middle of the story. The first of the story is that a woman who had lived many years in India and who haa a love for all things Indian was walking along the street and saw in the window of a bird store a green parrot with red spots on its wings. "That bird," she said to herself, "came from India. I will go in and Epeak with it. Perhaps it speaks the vernacular." So she went in and spoke to it in the vernacular of India. "Do you speak the language?" she said. It is the common question which the people ask of a parrot in the land from which the bird came. But the creature made no answer. It stared at her with dull eyes and was not inter ested. Still she persisted. ' 1 Come, ' ' she said. 4 ' Surely you speak the language? What do you want? Are you hungry? Is poor Polly lonesome away off here? Come, come, you speak the language. " Still the bird made no answer, but from away back in the dusk of tho room came a clear little bird voice in Hindoo stanee: "I speak the language. I also, I speak it." The birdseller did not notice the cry. It is merely the chattering of a foolish little bird to him. But the woman who loved India said: "Where is that bird?" "It's back there, " said the bird seller, pointing to a remote corner. So the wo man went there, and in an old cage she found a neglected looking mahnimah, standing erect on its perch, all its feath ers ruffled, looking this way and that as it quivered with excitement This bird of all talking birds is the most wonderful nay, in India they main tain that it thinks. It learns, in fact, the. tongue of the people, they 6ay, and does not speak by rote, but it converses. At any rate the mahnimah cried: "I speak the language. I speak it." "Here I am, brother," cried the wo man. " I am one who speaks it too. " The bird fixed one sharp eye on her. "You are little," he said disdainful ly, putting his head down in his feath ers to indicate how little she was. "You are little, but I am large," and then he stood erect with his head thrown back and looked down On her. It said other things, too, while tbe bewildered bird seller stood by and lis tened, astonished that the bird had any value or that any one could understand it- "How much will yon take for the bird?" asked the woman. "Twenty dollars," said the man. The price had gone up in the last ten minutes. "Where did you get it?" "A sailor brought it here.and I bought it of him. He bad come from Sew York and was going to San Francisco. He said he was tired of lugging it over the country. " "He must have come from some place where there are Lascars. ' ' "I do not know. Will you take the bird, ma'am?" But the woman could not afford that, so she called back : "Salaam, little brother." "Salaam," said the bird. Chicago Chronicle. Wbtat In the Church. And that's what's the matter with Emporia too much whist. The paint ed china set is married to cards. Women have no higher thought from week's end to week's end than winning head prizes. ,They grow nervous, irascible, bad tempered and ugly playing carda Little crows' feet appear at the corners of their eyes after an evening with whist, and deep, vertical lines plow themselves just above their noses. There are more plain women in Empo ria who lost their bloom at the rented card tables than there are women who have worn themselves out over the kitchen stove. It is worry, not work, that makes women fade, and cards are sapping the juice out of the town. Only the young people patronize the publio library. The old folks make "What's trump?" the chief end of man. Cards have invaded the churches. One church has a big factional row looming upon the horizon because the pastor has jump ed cards. Another church narrowly avoided it last winter. A third pastor sees his best customers whooping it np in whist clubs and hasn't the nerve to say a word. In the meantime poker rooms, which are just as improving and elevating and just as helpful to the town as whist clnbs, have opened on Commercial street, and the town is en joying the fruit of the seed the women have planted.

Every tiav briuirs its fierce, ur.ceasinir con- flict; every night leaves its multitudes of dead and dyinp. Tbe horrors of war are no greater tkan the horrors of disease. If all the nations of the eafth were at war against each other there would be no such carnafte wrought within the year as that which is accomplished annually by oe dread disease consumption. And yet this most fatal of all diseases is not without its remedy. It is no lonjrer the irresistible destroyer that it was considered thirty years ago. An t :itiri.i new aspect is put upon the possibilities of this dreadful malady by the astounding remedial action of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, which cures consumption by nourishing the lunys with an abundant supply of pure, hizhly - vitalized blood. This stops the formation of tuberculous mutter, and builds up fresh tissue, muscular flesh and vital energy. It Hves digestive oower to the stomach which is too weak to asmilate oily etnnisions. Miss I.ucy Klocmer of Armada. Mich., writes : " When 1 was a'mut eijrht yenrs of age I had in flammation of the lun jv and from that tine up I a sick nearly all thr time an ' had a doctor n-arlv all the time, i urould take cold so easily it vould jro rijth: to my lungs. At the age of niiie--en I was very bad: there was pais in my htsrs, icktinir in mv throat and my throat was studded vith ulcers; t hre was hoarseness and partial aup pression of voice, and difneu Ur of breathing. I loctored with one of onr best physicians and he .aid he could not help meard iust prescribed cod .iver oil and told ray mother I coc!d not live longer 'han three man tha. I kept fretting weaker every lay. when at last a friend aske i me whv I did not try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.

"Yon see, Gecrgie," said Mr. Win gleby, whose youthful son had asked him how we came to have different kinds of weather, "the weather is put up in tin cans, a day's weather to a can, and usually they put up about a year's supply ahead, enough to last through a spring, summer, autumn and winter. In filling the cans they sort it J nil out as well as possible. Sometimes when they get a can full there may be a little left over, and whatever remains in this way they throw into one lot. When they've got pretty nearly all the cans full and the regular stock of weath er has run out, they nil np from that lot of odds and ends. The cans so filled contain what is called variable weather, because it's mixed, but most of the weather they get pretty well sorted out according to the season. "When they've got all the cans filled, they stack em up where they'll be handy to get at, and there's a man that does nothing but open them. Every day be cuts a can and pours out the weather for tbat day, and of course a great deal depends upon him.
