Colored College Commencement Ralkich, X. C, May 18. The friends of colored education are greatly interest ed in Livingstone College, at Salisbury, where there are 400 students, and whose commencement exercises are now in pro gress. Lnst evening Dr. Charles F, Deems, of New York City, pastor of the Church of the Strangers, and one of the most eminent North Carolina preachers, delivered the annual address before a great assemblage. There are twenty twe graduates, of whom six are females. Two graduates from the theological, ten from the normal, and ten from the clas sical department. i)r Deems, after hear ing the essays and rations, said that in all his life in Ins visits to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and in his connection with the North Carolina State University as pro fessor, he has never heard so -few mis takes in English and classics among stu dents, and that the thoroughness of 6chol arship in English and Latin was unsur passed by any of these institutions. Through the Cascade Mountains. Seattle, Wyo., May 18. The Seattle Lnke Shore and Eastern Railway Com pany lust evening entered into a contract with the millionaire contracting firm of Ryan & McDonald, of New York, throu :h their representatives, Messrs. Burns & S:nith, of Baltimore, for the construction of 25 miles of standard cau 'f1 railroad through the C scads nioun titins toward Spokane Falls. This new places the whole distance between the two cities under contract, and there is great rejoicing all over the territory. This neyr contract specifies that the work must Lc tciyoletcel within two years from date, which will compel tlic contractors to employ an army of men, and to builel from both ends of the line. The cost of this new section is placed at $5,000,000. The country to be traversal is extremly rich in timber, cgal aftd iron, and on the eastern slope ?n grain and in general pro duce.

The matter has ben kept epiiet by Guerra and the oflicers iu expectation of securing the who's gang. On Monelay last Judge Rusell issueela warrant Rest ml ex's anvst. The warrant was executed here yesterday, and while being taken to jail Re.c-ndez attempted to escapp, and was shot. lie liyed until this morning. Telegrapher' Signal Code. There is nothing that gladdens tho eyes cf the telegraph editor quite as much as tho magical "SO." The compositor at the caso likes to see it, too. for ho knows it is the end of telegraph copj' for tho night. Tho telegraph operator lias a fancy for JO also, as. indeed, lias every one who has anything to do with a telegraph or a news paper office. This "30" means literally "the end," and is tho signal that the tele graph report is complete for tho night, but just why it should bo so or how this came about no one can probably tell with any accuracy, but it is a part of a codo of signals adopted by telegraph operators long ago. They hit upon it at random. doubtless, and it serves its purpose satis factorily. By the same token tho figure "1 is used as the signal, "Wait a min ute;" "2," and sometimes "12," means "I understand;" "18" means "trouble:" "25" is "busy on another wire." Those are the signals most common iy used by operators engaged on ordinary business or dispatches intended for the newspapers, but signals and ciphers are used in a thousand occupations. Tho train dispatcher has his coele, and tho signals therein save him a world of work and pounding of the key. For instance. 4 may mean "train orders" and "9" be the signal used by the president of the road. When "9" Hashes along eveything on thp wire gets out of the way. just as everything is sidetracked when the presi dent's car comes whizzing down the rails. t can bo readily understood how these signals savo time and labor, on the principle that stenography is better adapted to the condensation of phrases and sentences than longhand; in a single figure a world of meaning can bo ex pressed, but to the overwoked telegraph eehtor. who has been slaving all uignt with his head close to a gas lamp, and whose brain is buzzing and sizzling, the signal "CO" is the sweetest and the dear est of them all. Chicago Tribune. An Actor In Honolulu. Booth told a very amusing story when he was here last of a trip he took to Honolulu, when ho was younser and mocking about California. Some actor came up from Australia who had stopped t the bandwich Islands. lie inflamed Booth on tho subject of that dramatic El Dorado. IIo scraped together all the money ho could and went to Honolulu. IIo had fifty dollars when he arrived With that money he hired tho theatro for vo weeks at ten dollars a week. II- found two or three people and made ar raugemeut to give a show. It was to be 'Richard III." Tho two or three people played all tho parts. One man played four, and one woman two, anel so on. Tho question of billing the town arosa Ho managed to get some posters, but he had nothing to stick them up with. He bought a bucket of "poi" and some starch or stuff that would help it. mixed his paste and sent a small Kanaka out to put uo tle bills. He didn 6co any when he went out, and investigation disclosed that the small Kanaka had eaten np all the paste and thrown the posters away. He begged some of his company to stick them up, but they were all too high toned, and Booth had to go off himself in the middle of the night and paste his bills up. lid said lie p&WQ bak with fifty dollars, just as' he started, and they had lived on bananas principally. Sau Francisco Chronicle. Outlook for Jurenile Literature. When there ore nq ttoro red Indians, or when those who continue to exist are uni versally respectable, law abiding, hum drum personages, what will the "boy of the fure do for exciting literature? Pirates, it need hardly bp pojnted out, are becom ing In these latter daya ridiculously scare; even In their former happy hunting grounds off the coasts of Sumatra, Borneo and other East Indian islands traders rarely meet with any of the gentlemen immortalized by Marryat, Low and Louis Stevenson, and a score of other marine novelists. When we come across a good pu at 6 story In a boys' book, we nearly always find it 'written in the past tenso. The same Is becoming true of adven tures with redskins; but still there are parts of the American continent where the Comanche or Apache In his war paint may even now bo encountered. This is as it should be. The misery which will be inflicted on schoolboys when all the desert Ula;ds of f La world are Inhabited, when a pirate will be as' extinct aa a plesiosau rus and the few remaining red Indians become waiters In New York restaurants, has never been taken seriously or system atically into account. It Is an outrage on boyhood tq deprive ft of the chief field for tho 'expansion' of its imaginative faculty, r-London Telegraph- "CREASING A MUSTANG. SKILL DISPLAYED BY TEXAS MARKS MEN IN CAPTURING WILD HORSES. Tlie Animal Formerly a Great Ntti.uiit'e to Cuttle Kaixerit Catching mi lutamnl Mutuii with a Hide Hull lricclaim ally Virion ISrutea. J. T. Hill, who for many years has been engaged in cattle raising in Texas nr.d tho Indian territory, remarked to a rejxirtcr tho other day: "In tho e'arly days of the cattlo business in Texas, from 1.7 to LSCO. tho ranges wero overrun by bauds of wild horses. These animals wero a great nuisance;, as they would get mixe'd with our loose horses and run them ofT when any one approached. As a rule tbey wero a rough, ill shaped set of beasts, and almost untamable, so that few attempts wero ever mado to catch them.it being considered best to shoot them on si-jlit and thus get rid of a disturbing inf!nnief m our horse ho:! ; 1,. a really fine animal would bo sccu and tho ranchmen would try hard to secure it. But tho ordinary mode of capture, lasso ing, could seldom bo used against wild horses, and theso beasts wero very shy, and even a poor horse, carrying 110 weight.. could outstrip o very fiuo auimiil with a man on his back. I have chased wild horses 100 times and have become thor oughly convinced of the truth of the English racing saying that the weight of a stable key will win or lose a race KOVEb METHOD OP CAITURH. "In this extremity the Texaus used to resort to a means of canturinii the horre: which is, I believe, exclusively American It was discovered, I do not know how. that a blow upon a particular sinew in a horse's neck, locat ed just above where the spine joins the skull, Mould paralyze the animal temporarily without doing it any permanent injury. Iu those days the Texans were nearly without exception fine shots, and at short range could send a rifle ball with phenomenal accuracy. Tho horses could not be approached ex cept on foot, and it was impossible to catch them on horseback. But, not to be overcome by any such difficulties, tho cowboys discovered a way to capture them. Taking his riflo, a hunter would crawl through tho thick chaparral until within fifty or sixty yards of the horse he desired to secure. Then, taking careful aim, he would endeavor to send a bullet through the top of the neck so as to strjlio the sinew. When this was prcperly dono the horse would fall as if struck by light ning and remain insensible for ton or fif teen minutes, recovering completely in an hour or two, with no worse injury than a slight wound in the back of the neck that soon healed. Of course many bullets went astray and hundreds of horses were killed, but a good shot would secure about emo hcrse in three that ho attempted to 'cre-asc,' as this niodo of capturo wp.s called. "The largo calibro lilies commonly in use were not adapted to this peculiar mode of hunting, as if they touched tho sinew they were sure to break it, and the wounds tho 44 er 52 calibro balls inflicted were too severe. The weapon universally employed in creasing mustangs was the old Hawkins rifle, which carried a bullet uot much larger than a pea, had a set trigger and required but a small charge of powder These weapons wero wonder fully accurate up to 100 yards, but in liietcd a trilling wound, and tho bullet w:-.s likely to take a course through soft flev.li around any hard object, instead of tearing through it, as a larger lxi'1 pi-o pelled by a heavier charge of powder would do Hundreds of mustangs, til ways tbe beat animals in the herd, used to be creased every year, and this pr ;2 tice was kept up until the herds had en tirely disappeareeL NOT OF MUCH CSK. "Some of the horses thus secured were very tQUgh and, sleet animals, but few were of any practical use Nearly a'l were stallions, as a wild mare that v.ts good for anything was seldom seen, and the captured horses were nearly, withou exception, lrreclar'jiably vicious, eve-y. when judged from the Texas standpoint. Even when broken to tho saehlle tht-y could only bo ridden by the very best horsemen, and wero always on tho look out to do their riders an injury. Strange to say. they seldom tried to kick, but a man had to bo continually on tho lockout for tbsir fors fe?t and teeth- They oy.'y used their hind feet when a wan was about to mount, but nearly every o::o of them had a trick of kicking forward as sewn as mo riaer put ins icot m tue stir rup, and unless he was wary he would re ceive a terrible piow pn tbe leg. "I used to own a horse that. I bc-lieve. could scratch himself between the ears with his hind foot, his hind leg being cp parently made of India rubber. The in stant he felt a foot in the stirrup his hind hoof would come forward with the speed of lighting, in the attempt to infiict a tjipat 7'ciqus kielf.
