Duncan Bankhardt- His official title has not jet been in me course or his trip through Mexico r. Warfei toys Ills train stopped for sfcrty minutes on the line of totality, the very morning the sun was eclipsed by the moon. Several Mexican astronomers, sent out by the Government, were there to make observations, and the train waited for them. Mr. Warfei sajs he has a distinct recollection of seeing one eclipse back In Jackson's administration; he thinks, but that was only a side show- to the real thing put up at the all fresco garden, two weeks ago, In the land of peons and pulque.

Here is the way he described It: "When the moon put the sun out of business. It became black and dark, as suddenly as snapping the shutter of a camera. That darkness, too," I shall never forget It was thick and unnatural, heavy, oppressive and as sickening to observe as the black cap which shuts out the world from the eves of the doomed roan on the scaffold. The natives fell to their knees In terror and shrank In superstitious dread. Suddenly a Mood-red spot appeared on the edge of the cryona.

It brightened every second and finally burst through the pall of darkness nnd gloom. In this case, the curtain went tip and the show was over." Mr. Warftld has a magic lantern with the genuine Mexican slides and is open for engagements. MAY KRMG. Sonic Interesting I'ljiure Given In Cumjmrison With lait Year.

INSANITY FROM NOT SMOKING. Strange Case of Albert Turner, a. Youug 2segro. There have been many Btorles published of cases of Insanity resulting from cigarette smoking, but the City Hospital contains the only case on record of insanity resulting from not smoking cigarettes. Albert Turner, a negro, IS jears old, living at No.

322 Targee street, was brought to the hospital his mother nt a late hour Siturday evening. She tlal-ns. that his lnsanltj is the direct result of his stopping the habit of cigarette smoking. Tlje storj- she tells Is an interesting one. as Is exactlj opioslte.

to the generally accepted ideas on object. It seems that her son Is a teamster and receives a tnlarj' of $8 a week, which easily puts him In the upper ten of the social circles In which he moves. His record for being one of the high social lights of the neighborhood leads him often to flights of extravagance on paj dajs. and one of his heaviest expenses heretofore has been cigarettes, of which he consumed about fifty to seventj-Ilve daily. So far as could be seen this had no detrimental effects on Albert's health, but the expense of cigarettes, smoked In such profusion, made it difficult for the famllj, living in the stjle to which the Turners were accustomed, to make both ends meet.

In consequence, the mother-persuaded Albert to stop the habit. He finally consented, nnd swore off for good. From that time she dates his mental troubles, and the fact which worried her mo-t was that the resumption of the h-iMt did not bring back his former mentsl condition. Albert is now under treatment at the hospital, where his condition Is not regarded as very serious. coroner to Investigate.

Ixmls last night at 7 o'clock. The party came In over the Vandalla line, and was not expected to arrive until 10:40 o'clock. Owing to the fact that the train was ahead of time, a number of friends who arrived at the station at 10 o'clock to welcome home the members of the World's Fair Committee who were so successful In the fight for the Fair in Washington were disappointed. The members, worn out with travel, remained at the station only a few moments before separating nnd going to their respective homes. Before icav Ing the station Governor Francis made the following brief statement concerning the work at Washington and the duty of all St.

Loulsans toward the Fair: "The light at Washington for the World's Fair bill has. been very fully described in the dispatcher to the St. Louis papers, and. therefore. It Is unnecessarj- for me to go Into details.

It is Just three weeks since I left St. Louis. I want to give special credit to Messrs. Seth W. Cobb, Corwin II.

Spencer. Nathan Frank and R. C. Kerens for the faithful manner In which thej sustained the fight against such great odds. The Government has conferred a special estimation on St.

Louis bj- the prompt manner In which It has voted to appropriate $5,000,000 in aid of the World's Fair. It has also promised to Invite the civilized nations of the world at once to participate In the great celebration. "While at Washington we distlnctly pledged St. Louis to raise by private subscription, and another the sale of municipal bonds. I take It for granted that no loval St.

Loulsan will hesitate to promptly come forward and sustain us In the pledge we have given. What we have to do to get at work nt once, and complete the fund The time for preparing for the Fair Is'alreadj- too xhort and an- further delay would be dangerous. I rel- absolutely on the jieop'e of St. Louis to rahe the small amount still requlrid to complete the local fund and at once." DETROIT SAW DEWEY. Canadians Helped to Make the Occasion Memorable.

Detroit, June 9 Dewey's second day In Detroit will be memorable both to the Admiral and the thousands of ail clas-es who vied with each other In persistent efforts to do him honor.

The forty-mile trip was uneventful, aside from the ovations witnessed en route.

This afternoon's parade, the final public feature, was the climax of Dewey Day. A half holidaj- was generally observed, and the people crowded themselves In the downtown street. In Grand Circus Park a thousand chlldi-en. sealed on a sloping structure, sang, as tne Admiral and his wife rode past, vert-Ion of the "Star SpangUd Banner," adapted to express praise of Dewe'j's naval achievement.

Washington. June 9. Genera; MacAr-thur has cabled the following report the" capture of General Pilar: "Manila, June 9. 1900. Native police captured Insurgent General Pio del Pilar morning; he was found lurking In ths neighborhood of San Pedro Macati." General Schwan's estimate of the Importance of this news is contained In this statement: "The capture of General Pio del Pilar, cabled by General MacArthur this inorn-Irg, a' most Important one.

Pilar was regarded as one of the most active and t.n-compromtslng of the rebel chieftains. After the disruption of the insurgent government and the dispersion of nearly all the Insurgent organizations north of Manila. Pilar managed to concentrate a considerable force at St- Miguel de Maumo, in the Province of Bulacan, and, although he was unable to hold the place for any great length of time, he succeeded In withdrawing his troops to the mountains and In eluding the several columns that were sent out to destroy him. It was difficult to keep track of his and he frequently was reported as being at a number ot places at the same time. That his capture has been effected by the native police or Manila, a body numbering some MO, evidences afresh the loyalty of these men to the American cause, so often Impugned both by Americans and Filipinos."
