"The next morning about 9 o'clock the body was found floating and no trace of any wound could be found, while the only abnormal appearance was the swol len state of the nostrils. On examination it was found that the brains had . been extracted. The natives of the Uelle all dread the 'megwe.' while those of the Itimbri know nothing of its existence." "I was an eye witness to a' disaster of this kind," says the Belgian. "A canoe was : capsized In the river and one of the three occupants disappeared. When the survivors swam ashore they told us that an octopus had turned their boat over and carried off their companion. The- octopus drags his human prey to his cavern and there, without inflicting the slightest external wounds, feeds on his victim's brains by inserting the points of his tentacles in his nostrils. He gen erally keeps his prey fifteen hours, then lets the body float out on the river. The strange beasts are called "megwe" by the natives, and are very numerous in the neighborhood of the station of the Amaciis. owing to the number of rocks and caves in that region. They attack the native canoes, capsizing them easily with their tentacles and, according to their state of hunger, seizing one or two men. A Belgian officer just returned from the Congo Free State reports that In the caverns of the Uelle River there dwells a species of octopus that presents a grave danger to all who navigate the river in small boats. ¦ , It Hunts the Natives and Feeds Upon the Brains of Its Human Prey. -, i -:,\ TERRIBLE OCTOPUS OF THE XTELTJE RIVER The scalp is that of an Apache chieftain, whose name was Juan Dazen, and who was at the liead of a band of redskins on Canyon Creek, adjoining Crescent Valley. This band of Indians had been making raids upon the cattle ranches and in the fall of 1884 a party of thirty men. com posed of the Tewksbury ' brothers, the Meadows brothers and a number of cow punchers, ambushed the Indians and killed sixty of them. Meadows took the scalp of the chief and has retained It over since. He calls it his receipt for a "good" Apache. Of course he does not expect the President to accept, but he desires to call attention to his expedition, and for that reason sent the invitation. , ¦ Several days ago • some one suggested to Meadows that he invite the President to join the expedition and suggested that some unusual invitation be sent. To-day Meadows decided to send the invitation on an Apache, scalp, several of which he has had for years. The "invitation" was at once prepared and to-night it was for warded by express. They expect to be opposed by the In dians, who have successfully stood off similar expeditions of Mexicans and others for many years. The party does not expect to find cities in the interior subject to loot, but it will look for min eral riches. The island is the property of General Andrade', Mexican Consul in Los Angeles, and through him the assistance of General Torres, commanding the Mex ican forces in the . State of Sonora, has been secured. Unless the party is driven off, this assistance will not be called upon. "Arizona Charlie" is preparing to head an expedition into Tiburon Island, that mysterious land off the coast of Mex ico, in the Gulf of Lower California, into the interior of which it is said ndwhlte man has ever penetrated. With a band of forty or more adventurers who havo had experience upon the cattle ranges of Arizona, Meadows will leave' Los An geles about October 1 for Guaymas, and, procuring a small sloop there, will pro ceed to the island and make a landing on the westerly side. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 6.— Presidents of the United States have received invita tions of many kinds. Some of them have teen inscribed upon , tablets of gold, studded with precious stones. Others have been upon wood or stone or parch ment, but the most grewsome bid for the presence of the Chief Executive that was ever sent was .that forwarded to Wash ington to-night by Charles Meadows, bet ter known as "Arizona Charlie." It con sisted of the scalp of an Apache Indian, the text of the invitation being Inscribed upon a small 'metal shield which was riv eted to the scalp. Special Dispatch to The Call.

APACHE SCALP FOR ROOSEVELT - Representative Babcock of Wisconsin Bhaved off his luxuriant black beard the other morning, and the doorkeepers re fused to admit him to the floor of the House until he had been identified. Mr. Babcock had not been shaved before in fifteen years. "Well, that won't happen to you in the life to come." remarked tiie sly llr. Pep prey."—Philadelphia Press. "Not much In this life," complained the chronic kicker, "not much for me. Ev erybody else I know seems to get along but I'm left out in the cold." Warmth Enough. Worthy Master Pepys— to go back a century— had a liking for his cup of wine Port was the wine most in vogue in the court circles, and therefore the wine ap preciated most by Master Samuel. Sir Walter Raleigh has handed down to pos terity his excellent recipe for "Sack posset." Samuel Johnson pinned his devotion to the teacup. Once, when kind old Sir Joshua Reynolds remarked to the great lexicographer that he had already drunk eleven cups of tea, Johnson flashed out the following sharp retort: "Sir, I did net count your glasses of wine. Why, then, should you number my cups of tea?" The whisky bottle held a peculiar temp tation for Burns. Voltaire, the king of ¦wits and of litterateurs, was devoted to coffee 'drinking; in fact, some say that his habit of drinking over thirty cups a day hastened his death. Another great coffee drinker was Balzac; he never wrote a line without having his coffee cup be eide him. We have not far to go for the favorite beverage of England's greatest writer. William Shakespeare was content with his cup of sack, and has put its praises into the mouth of Palstaff. . • Favorite Beverages of Literary Men.

Hanley. Harry I. Mulcrevy, chief of staff: John F. Twomey, chief aid. and the following aids to the Brand marshal: The members of the Rer-Haired Club point to the fact that some of the great personages of history have been of their sort. There was David, who was known as the "ruddy youth"; St. Paul was red haired, Mary Queen of Scots had a crown of red gold hair, and Julius Caesar and Martin Luther are recorded in history as having been red-haired. There Is but one requirement for ad mission. Any one who has red hair can read his title clear to membership. It is alleged that a constitution has been drawn up, and that in it the president is lacetiousiy dubbed the "most lurid lum inary." So much mystery surrounds the new organization that no one has yet been able to positively find out the offi cers. It is strongly suspected, however, that a young medical man of the capital in the chief executive. At least his shock ot bright red hair and his luxurious flam tSff beard would seem to qualify him for the- office. "Satellites" and "lesser lights" are the terms by which subordinate offi cers and members are known. A Red-Haired Club is the latest addi tion to Washington's social circles. The unique organization is a society of protest formed in rebellion against the witticisms which from time immemorial tave been directed against auburn-hued locks. ¦Washington's Red-Haired Club. HS general committee of the Native Sons of the Golden West ¦ held Its last meeting last night In j^ Native Sons' Hall to conclude ar rangements for the celebration on Admission day. O: L.. Blackman presided. After the several sub-committees had presented their reports. Secretary Wynn read a letter from Grand Marshal Jul liard, who in this announced that he had selected Linehan of California Parlor, Webber of Alcatraz Parlor and J. M. Hanley of Precita Parlor as aids to the grand marshal; Kroger of National Par lor, G. Stutt of San Francisco Parlor and J. King as division aids, and W. W. Shan non, Percy L. Badt, H. I. Mulcrevy and S. V. Costello as division marshals. It was announced that Bay City Parlor will parade in both cities, wearing a new uniform, and will be headed by its own band. Rincon Parlor will have a drum corps to precede It in the two parades and will turn out about 100 members. The parlor will entertain in the celebration city. Arrangements were made for the trans portation of about 225 musicians, which includes drum and bugle corps. 'The fireworks committee reported hav ing secured an extra amount of fireworks to use during the march in this city. Through rubber tubes pass wires which control the action of the cameras and lights. Thus the operator, when he wishes to take a picture is able to turn on the light and at the same time to ex pose the plates; all that is needed being a touch upon a button. An automatic ar rangement turns the exposed plate out of the way and places another in position for exposure. Owing to the relative posi tions of the cameras they take pictures of the object from two different points of view, almost at right angles. At very great depths — such as a mile — a machine of this kind would not be avail able, as it would be crushed by the pres sure of the water. But this is not a mat ter of much Importance, as the apparatus is designed for use in connection with diving operations, which are not con ducted very fa.r below the surface. The problem of submarine photography has been taken- up by a Massachusetts Inventor, who has patented an apparatus combining' a pair or cameras witn means for the artificial illumination of objects in the depths. It has been ascertained by careful ex periments (such as the exposure of sensi tive plates at various depths) that, prac tically, not a ray of sunlight penetrates farther down than 600 feet below the sur face of the sea. Even in comparatively shallow water nhotograpny is out of the Question from jack of light. But here is a machine that carries a light of its own, and which, by tne use of very ingenious means, so it is claimed, is able to illumi nate quite powerfully any object that is to be taken. The two cameras, each of them inclosed in a large bulb of metal with a glass bullseye, are held by rigid arms on either side of a chamber containing strong arc larnps. Thev are so arranged as to point somewhat inward, and to be focused upon the same object, which is at the same time illuminated by the powerful ray thro wn forward from the electric cham ber. Photographs in the Depths. Mrs. Crane is arranging to drive the tuiinel at once. Since the news of her find leaked out there has been a rush from Skagway to stake other claims along Burro Creek. Mrs. Crane declares her strike is a rich cne and that she will cle;*n up a fortunte. She has refused to sell an interest. Water seepage has caused a stoppage of work ¦until a tunnel for drainage purposes can be driven. This will cause some delay, but in the long run will prove less costly than going to the expense of establishing a pump and hoist. TACOMA, Sept. 6.— Rubies and free gold have been found in the Ward shaft on Burro Creek, near Skagway. A stam pede has been started toward these dig gings, which were worked as placers sev eral years ago. The discovery was made by Mrs. S. Crane, who has been prose cuting work there for some time, employ ing three miners. She began work where Ward left off and sank a shaft sixty feet farther.

Grand Rapids, Mich., has a woman cobbler, the only one in the State, if not in the country. She is Mrs. Nellie Har mer. In the big factories women are, to be sure, employed to do certain parts of the working making a pair of shoes by ma chinery, but none of them has to do what Mrs. Harmer does. She has worked on the bench beside her husband for the past seven years, and is proficient in every phase of the cobbler's art from stitching a rip in a lady's kid shoe to pegging a sole on a cowboy's boot. She learned the trade from her husband. Ten years ago they came from Canada and Mr. Harmer opened a little shop In Grand Rapids. Being a skilled workman he soon had a brisk little business estab lished, but he could not get competent help. It was then that his wife came to his aid and said that she would learn the business. . . . - . In the rear of their place of business their living apartments have been fitted up. These include a piano, books and pictures. Mrs. Harmer is pretty and not yet 30. She is the mother of three chil dren—two boys and a girl.

Miss Floyd is a capable young woman, with business qualifications above the average, and she has for several years been observing with growing discontent the manner in which the trust property has been managed. The decision in the Fair case was hailed with delight as dis closing a possible avenue of escape from this tying-up of her patrimony. The real estate involved in the suit in cludes Kono Tayee, the handsome Floyd home on Clear Lake; Quercus ranch, con sisting of 471 acres on Clear Lake of the choicest of Big Valley land; some pieces of land in San Francisco, including the North Point dock warehouse and the Montgomery Baths; 3760 acres in Merced County, and valuable property in Ala meda, San Luis Obispo, Monterey and Santa Clara counties. The Superior Court of Lake County, by its decree dated April 29, 1S93, distributed the estate, valued at $700,000, to the three trustees, James T. Boyd, Adolphus D. Grimwood and William T. Welker. On Mr. Welker's death the remaining trus tees selected Mrs. Cora S. Keeler to fill the vacancy. ' ' In her complaint Miss Floyd alleges ownership of all of her mother's property as sole heir and seeks to have her title quieted as against the trust. It is under-, stood that she relies in her attack on the trust on the decision of the Supreme Court of California in the Fair will case. The Floyd trust was created by the will of the late Cora L. Floyd, widow of Captain Richard S. Floyd, who was sec retary of the Lick trust. By its terms her daughter, MJss Harry A. L.
