NEW YORK, June 21. The pawnbroker
does not always get the best of It An
Investigating committee here has just
found that 200 pawnbrokers in New York
city have on hand several thousand uni
forms on which they allowed policemen
from $10 to $20 each. '-
The' pawnbrokers say they have been
accustomed to take up the police uni
forms In the fall, saving the police the
bother of stowing them away in moth
balls. They generally allowed the blue
coats liberal sums in the belief that the
pawn tickets would be promptly redeemed
in the spring. Now It develops that a
new type of uniform has been adopted
and none of the policemen are going back
for their old suits. The pawnbrokers are
selling out at $4 each, uniforms on which
they allowed from three to five times
that amount . v

QUEER YIELD OF, TREES
They Give .to Man Light, Butter,
Water, Milk, Soap and
Tallow.
1 find nothing more interesting than
nature's odd ways in trees," said a
man whose hobby Is trees. "Thus in
Madagascar Is found the traveler's tree,
so called because it provides a supply of
pure fresh water on demand to the
thirsty wayfarer. The body of this tree
rises to a height of about thirty 'feet,
at Which . height leaves radiate from
opposite ; sides Of the stem." Theae are
of great length and stand on . leaf
stalk some six feet long, spread oht like
an immense fan.
"In the dry . season, when all tenjs
arid and parched, the traveler has but
to pierce one of these trees just at
the point where the fanlike crest has
its beginning on the stem, and "ut of the
wound will flow pure fresh, cool waUr.
The tree has other uses. From the leav
are formed the thatched roofs of the
houses of the dwellers on the east side
of the island. The oualde bark of the
tree is laid for flooring and the leaves
again, when beaten flat serve not only
for table cloths, but for plates.
"In Venezuela there is a vegetable
wonder called the cow tree. It grows
where scarcely another vegetable thing
thrives. Its leaves are leathery and crisp,
but by making incisions in the trunk
a peculiar grayish fluid resembling milk
exudes, sweet and of a peculiarity agree
able, balmy odor. It Is a puzzling thing
to a stranger in that land to see the
trunks of these trees bristling with plugs,
as he will see them, for the drawer of
milk from ' a hole he has made- in a
tree plugs up the hole when his needs
are supplied to prevent unnecessary
waist of milk.
"Three other useful trees are the but
ter tree of Central Africa, the manna
tree of Calabria and the tallow tres
of Malabar. The first, of these bears a
nut, from the kernel of which the na
tives produce a butter which, so African
travelers aver, much resembles butter
made from cow's milk, and which will
remain sweet a year or more.
"The manna tree is so called because
from a sap which flows after tapping the
tree In August a sweet gum is left by
evaporation, which has no little food
value. The tallow tree of Malabar yields
from the seeds of the fruit an excellent
tallow, which serves as an lllumlnant.
"That is a wonderful tfee, too, which
flourishes on Fierro, one of the larger
islands of the Canary group. FiernA
island is so dry that not even a small
rivulet is to be found on it, and for
that absence of water a curious com
pensation is made by nature In provid
ing a tree such as not found elsewhere.
. "The leaves' of this tree are long and
narrow and they remain green the year
through. ; The gentle mystery of this
tree aB travelers assure us, is a cloud
that hovers over it constantly, and con
densing into water, saturates the leaves,
from Which the moisture drops contin
ually and keeps the cisterns which are
in excavations beneath them always well
filled with .water. These rain trees are
few on the island,, which, it is said,
accounts for its sparse population. - '
"We have in our own country at least
two wonderfully eccentric, creations - in
trees, the soap tree of Florida although
it is not indigenous there, and the witch
tree. The latter is more properly, per
haps, a bush or shrub, and is peculiar
to the Tuscarora gulches of Nevada.-; ,
"The soap tree was ' brought from
Japan, where it is alleged to be a com
mon growth. It is a prolific bearer of
berries, about the. size of our common
black cherry, and of a yellowish color.
From these berries, boiled with the seeds
they contain, a good soap is fabricated.
In Japan the berries are used as a sub
stitute for soap JuEt as they come from
the tree.
"The -witch tree seldom grows higher
than forty feet It has innumerable
branches and lnterwlnlng twigs. Its
foliage is so luminous that at night it
can be distinguished plainly a' mile or
more away. . This tree is evidently a
species of bay, and the luminous . prop
erty of Its leaves parasitic This consists

EXPLOSION AT HAVEL0CK
NEARLY WRECKS BIG SHOP
. (From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Neb., June 2lASpeclal.)
An explosion which startled the town of
Havelock at 6 o'clock this morning nearly
wrecked the store house In the Burling-
ton shops. It was caused by the explo
sion of a cartridge containing acetyline.
No one was hurt by the explosion, al
though the damage was something over
1300.,
Eight cartridges of the stuff were stand
ing together, but the others, while
knocked over by the fore of the ex
plosion, were unharmed. The damage re
sults mostly In broken windows and dam
age to the elevator by fire which by somo
means started, though some distance
from the scene of the explosion. No on
seems to have any idea what caused the
explosion, the only thing possible being
that the cartridge may have sprung a
leak and that possible defective wiring
nearby caused a spark of electricity
which ignited the gas.
OSTEMADS AND HIS FLEET

KEEPS THEM READY FOB WORK
Son of a Prussian Army Officer
Who Won Distinction in Our
Civil War A Missouri
Incident.
Germany, Missouri and Cuba are far
apart, yet they are connected historically
today by the fighting name of Osterhaus.
Rear Admiral Hugo Osterhaus, commander-in-chief
of the Atlantic fleet,
whgh Is concentrating at Key West, pre
pared for all emergencies in the troubled
l&land republic, Is the son of Brigadier
General Peter J. Osterhaus, U. S. A., re
tired, who lives in Germany, h'ls native
land. General Osterhaus was an officer
in the Prussian army before he emigrated
to America, and bore nis share In the
war between the states. The early con
nection of the Osterhaus name with Mis
souri is best told by General William T.
Sherman in his "Personal Memoirs." The
incident took place at St Louis in 1861, a
few days before Sherman was appointed

the first colonel of the Thirteenth reg
ular infantry,- and began his djstln
ulsh4. eartar... . ... ,' ,.;
"I remember going to the arsenal on
the ninth of May,", he writes, "taking
my children with me in the street cars.
Within the arsenal wall were drawn up
in parallel lines four . regiments of the
home guards, and I saw men distributing
cartridges to the boxes. I also General
Lyon running about with his hair in the
wind, his pockets full of papers, . wild
and Irregular, but I knew him to be a
man of vehement purpose and deter
mined action. I saw, of course, that it
meant business, whether for ' defense or
offense I did not know. The next morn
ing I went up to the railroad office In
Bremen, 'as usual, and heard at every
corner of the streets that the "Dutch"
were moving on Camp Jackson. People
vere barricading their houses, and men
were running in that direction."
Jackson was nominally a state camp of
instruction, but in reality a sort of head
quarters tor the confederate sympathisers;
the . home guards were . regiments com
posed almost exclusively of Germans, not
a tew of whom were veterans tt the lib
eral uprising in Prussia. To continue
Sherman's account.
When the Trouble Started.
"I turned in the direction of Camp Jack
son, my boy, Willie, with me still. At
the head of Oliver street, abreast of Llri
dell's Grove, I found Frank Blair's regi
ment in the street, with ranks opened,
and the Camp Jackson prisoners Inside.
A crowd of people was gathered around,
calling to the prisoners by name, some
hurrahing for Jeff Davis, and encour
aging the troops. I passed along until I
found myself inside the grove, where I
met Charles Ewlng and John Hunter, and
we stood looking at the troops on the
road, heading toward the city."
A drunken man started a row and was
thrown over an embankment by a ser
geant. Sherman goes on to say; "By the
time this man had picked hllmself up and
got lits hat, which had fallen off, and bad
again mounted the embankment, the regu
lars had passed and the head of Oster
haus' regiment of home guards had come
up. The man had In his hand a small
pistol, which he fired oft, and I heard
that the ball struck the leg of one of
Osterhaus' staff; the regiment stopped;
there was .a moment of confusion, when
the soldiers of the regiment began to
fire over our beads in the grove.
"I heard the balls cutting the leaves
above our heads, ' and saw several men
and women running In all directions, some
of whom were-wounled.- Of course, there
was - a general stampede. Charles Ewlng
threw Willie on the ground and covered
him with his body. Hunter ran behind
the hill,- and I also threw myself on the
ground. The fire ran back from the head
head of the regiment toward Its rear, and
as I taw the men reloading their pieces,
I Jerked , Willie, up, ran back with him
Into a gulley which covered us, lay there
until 1 saw that the fire had ceased, and
that the column was again moving on,
when I took up Willie, and started back
for home round by the way of Market
Street v ' '
"A woman and child " were killed out
right two or three men were also killed
and several others 'were wounded. The
great mass of the people on that occasion
were simply curious spectators, though
men were eprlnkled through the crowd
Calling out, 'Hurrah for Jeff Davis,' and
others were particularly abusive of the
'damned Dutch,"' . 1 ,
The "Dutch" proved their worth early
in the war and gave to the t'nbn several

among others. Osterhaus, who served
under Sherman, and Stahel are the two
living commanders of that famous group
of German officers and the son of Gen
eral Osterhaus holding the moat respon
sible post In the American navy, is ad
mittedly worthy of his fighting, sire. .J
Has Been to Wnr Once.
Hugo, Osterhaus entered the naval
academy in September, 1S65, after his
father's active career In the field had
practically closed, and graduated In 1871.
He served on the cruiser Prairie iR the
Spanish war, but his life has been de
voted largely to the routlna of sea and
shore duty and he has risen to high
command by virtue of his qualities as a
sailor and executive officer.
His German ancestry makes him a mas
ter of detail and causes him to respect
the military traditions which his father
brought from Prussia. He believes in be
ing thoroughly prepared tor all emer
gencies. Last week, when urgent orders
from Washington bade the admiral to
proceed forthwith to southern waters
there was Immediate action In the At
lantic fleet The vessels were scattered
at different points along the coast, but
the admiral quickly concentrated them at
this port and at Hampton Roads to re
ceive coal supplies, ammunition and ma
rines. After a few hours' work the ves
sels were at sea again. The admiral
himself came from Newport to New York
on the cruiser Washington, remained but
a short time and got away again almost
before people knew he was here. The
whole movement was conducted In rec
ord time and without a hitch. The navy
was proud of it.
Last winter Admiral Osterhaus took the
fleet to the Caribbean for manuevers,
with the Idea of developing Its. capabil
ities to the maximum extent. First he
played a war game In one of the worst
gales ever encountered by the ships, and
demonstrated their sea-going ' qualities
thoroughly. He tried for greater ac
curacy and rapidity of gunfire at In
creased ranges, worked out problems in
torpedo defense and offensive mining
tactics, and enlarged his officers' knowl
edge of strategy. ' Then he fiad steaming
trials to teet the engineering and tire
room forces. Some of the vessels ex
ceeded their 'contract speed on the full
powered run, which gratified the com
mander, in view of the fact that In
former days a navy vessel rarely re
peated Its contract speed after the offi
cial trial. 1
This is the sort of work Osterhaus likes
demonstrating the efficiency of tils
command. Sometimes, It is said, he takes
his ships to sea without telling his cap
tains where they are going or what he
Intends to do when he gets out of eight
of land. In this way he keeps them on
their mettle and instils them with hi
motto of "be prepared." Whether they
like It or not they must obey orders, and
some of them call him a martinet , Per
haps he Is. ."-. V"
At all events, the admiral is supposed
to disapprove strongly of encouraging
officers to devote much of their time to
social or f amity affairs, and tor this
reason the "women of the navy are in
clined to frown upon him. ... .
Last October the admiral concentrated
In New York harbor the greatest fleet
ever assembled under the American flag.
More than 100 vessels were In line, and
they formed a spectacle never before
witnessed on this side of the Atlantic
After the fleet had dispersed, Rear Ad
miral Osterhaus took a month's leave of
obsenoe and visited ' his old father In
Germany. There is no doubt that the
general was proud to see in his son the
most distinguished American naval offi
ces of the time. New York Post
