THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, JULY 9, 1906. 3 SEIZEON FOOD TO SAVE THEIR LIVES Cause of the Agrarian Disor ders in Many Parts of the Russian Empire. RAIN BREAKS THE DROUTH Comes Too Late to Save the Crops, and the Peasants Are in a Piti able Condition. With Cattle Starving in the Fields. ST. PETERSBURG, July 8. The first paragraph of the proposed agrarian law. viz., the augmentation of the lands of the peasants by the expropriation of all state and crown domains and church and mon astcry lands, has been accepted by the commission of the lower house with prac tical unanimity. The Commissioners have now locked horns over the mode of expro priation and the method of disposal of private estates, and the end Ls not yet in eight. The determination to expropriate church lands, which, in distinction to the great estates owned by the monasteries, lie scat tered, like the common schools in Amer ica, in small tracts throughout the coun try and support the local clergy, wtU cause complications. Such action would deprive the parish priests of the princi pal part of their scanty emoluments and necessitate an equivalent from some other source. Drouth Broken in Provinces, A correspondent of the Associated Press has just completed a tour of the Prov inces of Samara and Saratov. He reports that the drouth is finally broken; but the rains have come too late to save the crop and help the peasants, who are in a pit iable condition. Their cattle have either been sold or are starving in the fields. The government relief granaries were completely emptied during last years famine. The present agrarian disorders, which can be expected to grow worse, are due largely to the necessity for the peas ants seizing food and forage to preserve their lives and save from starvation the remainder of their cattle. These disorders have reached the highest pitch in the Province of Vorontzh, where the troops and Cossacks, although in considerable force, are practically helpless and on the defensive. Many peasants have been killed or wounded In desperate attacks on mili tary parties and the rural guards. Peasants Fight With Pitchforks. According to a telegram received here from Tambov, peasants on the estate of the Princess Bariatinsky attacked a com missary and a posse of rural' police. The commissary and four policemen were ser iously wounded. In another section of the province of Tambov a body of peas ants, armed with pitchforks and spades, resisted a squadron of dragoons. Because of these resistances, the troops fired, killing three peasants and wounding many others. At Kcdabay, southeast of Tiflis, a hand-to-hand fight occurred between Cossacks and an armed band of peasants, with the result that sev&n men were killed on both sides. Poor Incensed Against Rich, There has been a fatal encounter at Krasnopolsk, in the Province of Podolla, between rich peasants and poor peasants. The poor men were incensed because the rich men had sent a telegram to the lower house protesting against the proposed dis tribution of land. In the fighting one of the wealthy peasants killed four and seri ously wounded several of the poorer men. There have been grave disorders on the estate of Minister of Agriculture Stltchln sky. In Tula Province. The representative of the Associated Press at Rostov reports that the crop conditions in the Kuban and Don districts are above the average. Agrarian disorders among the Cossack agricultural popula tion are not expected, although there has been some ferment among the military levies, having to do police duty. APPEALS TO ARMED REVOLT 5fc. Petersburg Paper Publishes Poem and Is Confiscated. ST. PETERSBURG, July 8. The Twen tieth Century, formerly the Russ, has published a second poem by M. Amfit eatroff, one of Russia's brilliant journa-liet-poets. entitled. "The New Marsal lalse." The paper has been confiscated and probably will be suppressed. The verses are dedicated to Maxim Gorky, and are virtually an appeal to armed revolt. The refrain goes, "Rise to your right? people; array yourselves under the red banner." The following is a translation of a typical verse: Seize the headman's axe and pass sentence to slay; Quit the plow and grasp the sword and bludgeon; The Volga weeps blood for the wrongs of the people; JSeek your freedom in mortal combat with the oppressors. The censors have seized an anti-Semite brochure entitled, "Down with Amnesty,' and the authors have been held for trial. This brochure ls especially violent against the members of the Lower House. It calls them fools and says- they have sold themselves to the Jews. News received here from Bialystok Is to the effect that the Jews are In such a condition of panic that they are selling ail their property and preparing to emi grate to America. BARAXOFF CALLED A COWARD Only Rojestvensky Emerges From Naval Court-Martial With Honor. ST. PETERSBURG, July 8. The test! mony In the case of Vice-Admiral Ro jestvensky. who is being tried by court- martial for the surrender of the destroyer feaovi. in the battle of the Sea of Japan. has been submitted and the addresses of counsel probably will be completed to morrow. The testimony has brought out facts of the cold-blooded manner In which Captain Baranoff. of the Bedovi. aban doned the crews of the battleships Os labia. Knlai Suvaroff and Alexander III to death by drowning, refusing to save a single person. The president of the court virtually called Captain Baranoff a coward in open sitting. Rojestvensky is the only defend ant emerging from the investigation with any credit. He has submitted his case In lieu of pleading by counsel, in the fol lowing words: "Sirs: Russia's fleet has been humili ated; the peoples have confidence In you: I await my runlshment. . Devastating Peasants Killed. GRODNO. July 8. In a conflict between l company of infantry and peasantry who were devastating the estate of Countess Potetsky, two peasants were killed and five were seriously wounded. Many Disorders Reported. ST. PETERSBURG, July S. (Special.) Numerous reports of mutinies, mob at tacks and hold-ups were received all day Sunday. The streets of Warsaw are being patrolled by troops, all the police officese of the city having gone on strike. Two battalions of soldiers have mutinied af ter presenting their demands to their of ficers. Near Tiflis a hand-to-hand engagement between Cossacks and an armed band took place, in which a number on both sides were killed before the Cossacks mastered the situation. A mob held a tr,ain at "Vladikavkaz and attempted to massacre a Russian Colonel and a number of Tartars. The infantry charged and killed several would-be assassins. Governor of Grodno Recalled. ST. PETERSBURG, July 8. Governor Kuehter, of Grodno, within whose juris diction the town of Bialystok is situated, has been recalled. Serious allegations re garding the recent massacres at Bialystok have been brought against him. HISTORIC KISSES. One Duchess liaised a Regiment and Another Bought a Vote. No more celebrated kiss was ever given than that bestowed November 22, 1581, in the gallery of Greenwich Palace, by Queen Elizabeth upon the Due d'Alen con. one of the suitors for her hand, whom, in the presence of Walsingham and Leicester, she kissed upon his coarse lips and, placing her ring upon his fin ger, presented to her courtiers as their future master. With true sincerity did another English queen grant a like favor, though the kiss given was but that of friendship and es teem, it was at the conclusion of the Crimean war, when, France and our country being, as at present, on the best of terms. Queen Victoria paid a visit to Paris. Her meeting with her ally, Na poleon HI, was of the most cordial de scription, and the queen reached every heart when, throwing ceremonial to the winds, she touched with her lips the em peror's cheek, with that kiss doing more to cement the good will between the two countries than any amount of for mal courtesy would have affected. Every one has heard of the famous kiss bestowed upon a butcher by Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire. In 1784 Fox was contesting Westminster in the Whig in terest, among his keenest supporters be ing the beautiful duchess, who entered heart and soul into the spirit of the elec tion, gaining many a vote for her protege by her golden speech and sparkling eyes. One man, however, a butcher, remained Impervious to her wiles; neither beseech lng glance nor persuasive word could move him. But the duchess was reso lute on gaining her end; she offered a kiss for the man's vote. Such a bribe was irresistible. The efficacy of a fair woman's kiss was incontestably proved when, In 1794, the famous Gordon Highlanders were raised by the lovely Duchess of Gordon, who was directly instrumental in gaining thousand recruits by the donation of a guinea and a kiss apiece. In a sense many of these kisses may be said to have been fatal, for in an encounter with the French shortly afterward more than 250 were either killed or wounded. Alain Chartier, the French poet, is the hero of a romantic legend. One day he sat down in a public place, and being weary and exhausted hy the heat of the day, fell into a slumber. As he slept. Margaret of Scotland, the wife of the Dauphin, fterward known in history ai Iuis XI, chanced to pass with her at tendants. She glanced at the unconsci ous man and recognized in him the poet whose verses she so loved. Then, mo tioning to her maids to be still, she gent ly stepped forward, and, stooping, im printed a kiss on the sleeping poet s lips. Pretty, too, is the story of Ingeborg Vinding and the poor student, Paul Vendelbo. The latter, whose empty purse was a sad trammel to his ardor after knowledge, was promised by two noblemen a foreign tour conditional on his being able to obtain a kiss from the fair Ingeborg. Nothing despairing, Vendelbo one morning approached the ladv as she was seated at a window and boldly made confession of his hard case. lneeborjr heard him in silence then bent down her proud head and In lovinir charity gave him a kiss. At times, however, a kiss has been the prelude to a tragic sequel, as that bestowed in 1718 by Prince Ferdinand of Bavaria upon Princess Thyra, the near relation of a ruler of a neighbor Ine state, where he was on a visit. Th-s affectionate greeting, a heedless whim of the moment, was given under the very eyes of the princess betrothed who. naturally taking umbrage, sound ly rated the thoughtless prince. Word came to blows, which resulted in a duel being arranged, and diplomatic relations between the two states were broken off. In the war that followed although hostilities lasted but six weeks, over a thousand lives were sac rlficed. In Crimeless Labrador. Harper's Weekly. A traveler who recently visited the Coast of Labrador says that nowhere on earth are life and property held so sacred as in that little known and barren land. A thousand miles of lonely seaboard, along which is scattered a population of some 10,000 people, about one-third of whom are white, would seem to give every opportunity for crime. Yet thjBre is no police officer of any kind, no court, and no jail. Nor are they needed. The only criminal charge within 50 years was one against an Eskimo who shot a rival in love. In addition to the resident popula tion, the coast ls visited every Sum mer by about 10.000 Newfoundland fish ermen, and, while Newfoundland itself is by no means free from criminals, none appear to come among the fish ers, or else the example of the na tives of Labrador causes them to re frain from any w-rongdoing while there. About 40 years ago a Circuit Court visited the coast every Summer, but as it found nothing to do. it was abol ished. Now, should any serious charge be made against a man. a magistrate would be sent from Newfoundland to Investigate It. From the Mouth of Babes, Etc. (N. T. Press.) A lover of rare old china had a col lection that was the envy of her vis itors. One day a little girl came with her mother for a call and being seated in the living room, wonderingly eyed the array of antique dishes. The hostess was much pleased at the child's evident admiration of her treasures. and said: "Well, my dear, what do you think of my china? The child looked up and pity was In her eyes as she asked. "Hasn't you dot any pantry?" No Yellow Fever In New Orleans. NEW ORLEANS, July S. Dr. James A White, surgeon in charge of the marine hospital service here. Issued a statement tonight that as far as he was aware none of the marine hospital physicians at New Orleans had given out any state ment that there Is yellow fever in New Orleans, and neither is there nor has there been any fever existing in this city. KAISER KISSES KING Meeting on the Hamburg in Trondhjem Harbor. GREETING MOST CORDIAL Monarchs' Passage to the Palace 19 Marked by the Cheers of the Populace Gala Dinner Is Given Later. TRONDHJEM. July 8. Emperor Wil liam arrived here this evening on the Hamburg. King Haakon immediately went on board and the two monarchs embraced cordially, kising each other sev eral times. They remained together in the state cabin for 40 minutes. After ward they went ashore and drove to the palace, amid the enthusiastic acclama tions of the crowd. At the palace the German Emperor was greeted by Queen Maud and the little Crown Prince Olaf was presented to him. At the end of this visit Emperor William returned to the Hamburg. He came ashore later in the evening again and attended the gala dinner at the palace. The press of Norway comments on the Importance of this visitor. CUP FOR THE INFANT PRINCE Gift of American Colony at Berlin for Baby Born on Fourth. BERLIN, July 8. In recognition of the fact that the youngest member of the Hohenzollern family, the infant son of Crown Princess Frederick William, was born on the Fourth of July, the American colony has resolved to present him with an ornamental silver cup emblazoned with the Stars and Stripes and the American eagle. The condition of the Crown Prin cess and the baby is most satisfactory. LONDON, July 9. The Berlin corres pondent of the Daily Telegraph says in a dispatch that it is declared to be Em- CELEBRATED WOMAN AGITATOR OF GERMANY WHO IS NOW A PRISONER IN RUSSIA. Rosa Luxemburg. German Socialists are much con cerned over what may happen to Rosa Luxemburg, one of their most brilliant writers and speakers, who went to her old home In Warsaw and was thrown into prison by the Russian authorities on the charge of aiding the revolutionists. peror William's intention to grant a somewhat extended amnesty on theocca sion of the baptism of his grandson, the first-born of Crown Prince Frederick William. This amnesty is to apply where there has been no heinous breach of the criminal code involving a loss of civic honor. Only One Case of Mutiny. VIGO, Spain, July 8. The reports sent abroad relating to the Insubordination on board the Russian cruiser Terek, an chored here, have been much exagger ated. The Russian consul informed the Associated Press today that there was no truth in the statement that a mutiny had occurred on board. This rumor orig inated owing to the fact that one vol unteer seaman, out of 30 shipped at Vlad ivostok, refused to perform his duties and was consequently discharged. Toklo Is Borrowing Money. LONDON, July 9. In a dispatch from Toklo the correspondent of the Daily Tel egraph says the municipality of Toklo will contract a loan of $7,500,000, at 5 per cent. Issue price 96, with a foreign syndicate. The purpose of the loan is the redemption of the water works loan bonds and the bonds of other municipal undertakings. The issuing houses are the Yokohama Specie Bank, London, and two London banks. Gives Up Landing at Varna. SOFIA, July 8 Monsignor Neoppylos the recently appointed Greek Metropolitan of Varna, has been compelled to abandon his idea of landing at Varna and return to Constantinople on the same ship on which he arrived. There were anti-Greek dem onstrations at Varna today but they were not serious. Estate for Crown Prince Olaf. LONDON, July 8. According to the Christlania correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, Miss Ada Musgrave, an Eng lish woman, has presented Crown Prince Olaf with the beautiful estate of Salstrale, on the Island of Godoe. Few of Rebels Escaped. DURBAN, Natal. July 8. Natal troops have completely surrounded and defeated a rebel body in Umovoti distriot. Seven hundred and forty-seven rebels were killed and few escaped. There were no casualties among the whites. Servian Tinned Meat? Barred. BELGRADE. July 8. In addition to closing the frontier to all Servian cattle, Austria-Hungary has prohibited the bringing in of tinned meats from Servia. Odd Freak of Lightning. New York World. Mrs. Thomas Lynch was picking let tuce in her garden at 416 Fulton street. Union Hill, N. J., one afternoon recent ly, when remarkable storm descended. She went to her gate with a glass dish In her hand. Just then lightning struck so close by that her hand, touching the gate, felt the shock. She found that her fingers clasped the dish so tightly that she could not put it down. After some hours a feeling of numbness left her arm, her hand lost its cramp, and she could loose her hold on the dish. Next morning the arm became black and swollen. On it, between the shoulder and elbow, pale figures began to appear. Finally they showed, plainly printed on the skin, a picture of a bird resembling a pheasant, a picture of a snake and characters like the Chinese inscriptions on boxes of tea. The World's correspondent at Union Hill, who saw these strange devices on Mrs. Lynch's arm yesterday, found them a reddish color and remarkably clear. TILTS WITH PERIL. Nervy Man Who Has Tempted Death for Twelve Years. St. Louis Republic Frank Reis, formerly a professional trick cyclist, bicycle racer and high diver, has been in the jaws of death a score of times during a career extending over a period of 12 years. His greatest accident and most mar velous escape was in the attempt to loop the loop at St. Louis. Reis, who had never looped the loop, consented to make the ride. He made the hrst turn of tne giant wheel, but in the second round the machine misguided and Reis was hurled Into the air. His nose was broken, the flesh was literally torn from his left cheek, both his arms were broken, many of the small bones in his hands were splintered, while his entire body showed the marks of the great fall. He was hastily taken to a hospital, where the surgeons, after careful exami nation, found that 72 bones had been frac tured, while the body was covered witn bruises from head to foot. Some of the doctors gave him an hour to live, but at the end of 18 weeks he left the hospital, hardly showing a trace of the accident. In 1896 when he was riding a wneei down the chutes, going at an estimated speed of 50 miles an hour, the machine swerved and he shot into tne air. mis ien arm was broken, but his other injuries were slight. The next season he tried the same trick, riding backward. Result, right arm broken and rib fractured. In 1S99. when riding down uass avenue at full speed, Reis dashed into a street car. Spectators turned their heads that they might not see him killed, w nen tney looked again he was scrambling 'to his feet. Total injuries, right wrist sprained and face bruised. Two years prior to this Reis had figured In a similar accident. He was racing his wheel, when he suddenly came upon a Grand avenue car. Unable either to stop or turn his ma chine, he took a daring chance and shot his wheel straight ahead in an effort to beat the car to the crossing. Instead of beating the car Reis plunged Into the fender, one of the old-fashioned flat va riety. The wheel, instead of stopping when it struck the fender, continued to roll, and the machine and rider sailed gracefully over the fender to the other side of the street. The motorman the while was vainly trying to stop the car. For a mo ment the passengers were awe-stricken; then the humor of the situation appealed to them, and they laughed heartily as Reis, who was smiling and uninjured, rode on down the street. In diving from . a hundred-foot pedestal at the Lagoon In Cincinnati, in 1895, he misjudged the tank below and his body was hurled against the side of the re ceptacle. His body fell into the tank and he was dragged out unconscious. Left shoulder bruised, otherwise not Injured. As a member of the Morgan-Wright bicycle team in 1895, he figured in more than 20 spills, but escaped without serious injury. On one occasion, at Louisville, Ky., he was guiding a squad in a 10-mile handicap on the three-lap track at Foun tain Ferry Park. On the last turn Reis was unable to guide the machine around the bend and the quadridycle, making a speed of nearly a mile a minute, dashed over a 20-foot em bankment and sailed in the air for a dis tance of 50 feet. None of the riders was injured. By way of variety Reis was shot at In a street fight. Though the firing was at close range, the bullet merely grazed his right ear. In lighting a gas machine in his bowling alley a year ago he Ignited four gallons of gasoline, which exploded with such great force that buildings for blocks around felt the shock. Although Reis stood within a few feet of the explo sion, only the hair on the back of his head was scorched. The building in which the explosion occurred was wrecked. Reis has not appeared in public for nearly three years. Personally he pre fers the show business, and would be eager to take a few more chances with grim death if it were not for the ob jections of his family. Has Used Up Its Trees. Maxwell's Talisman. In all their thousands of years of his tory the successive races which have dominated the soil of China seem never once to have grasped the idea that the preservation of the forests was necessary to the permanent welfare of the country. As a result, with all Its population and with all the Intensity of application shown by its people In their industrial pursuits. the whole country shows an appearance of decay. Thousands of years ago the forests were swept from the face of the earth except upon the mountains. Then the mountains were denuded, first of for ests, then of sod. then of soil. With the disappearance of these came rushing noods in tne place oi a slowly distributed rainfall. The water table of much of the country was so lowered that irrigation by pumping became the only dependence for saving the crops. From denuded hills and from bottoms strewn with sand by the noods, now blow dust-storms which im part a deathly hue to the landscape of whole provinces. That's the sort of fate to which the shortsightedness and greed of Americans who oppose forestry would consign our now beautiful land! The Human High Finance Hog. Richmond Journal. The man who thinks of nothing but making money may not be capable of realizing that other people can think of nobler purposes. Like the pig, with its snout so deep In the trough that Its eyes are buried m tne slop, its human Droto type may also be unable to see or think of anything in the world but the one busl ness of getting all that's to be got. It "is right and proper that the pie should have no thought but for its stomach it is made that way. But with man It is different to have a pig's mind he must acquire It by killing the best there is in him. By will he renounces manhood and debases himself to the level of the animal.

The ideal camera for naturalist pur poses Is one of the reflex type, in which the photographer can see his ob ject, the size of it will be reproduced on his plate, the right way up, and can see it until the moment of exposure. Such a camera with a long bellows and a lens which is Intended for a plate at least one size larger than the plate he is using in 'his camera, and also provided with a curtain shutter, which works just in front of the plate, with speeds varying from a time exposure up to one two-thousandth part of a second, is the kind of instrument used by men like Carlln, Dugmore and most of the naturalist photographers whose work appears in print.

KEPT UP TWO HOMES For Six Years No Inkling of the Part Played by Frankie Lu ther Was Given to Any of His Friends. KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 8.-Frankle Luther, part owner of a manufacturing plant In this city, who died suddenly yes terday, after living a double life for six years, for which time he preserved two separate identities without his elbsest friends or business associates oemg aware of it, according to investigations made by the police. As Frankie Luther, he lived at 313 West 13th Street with his wife. As Frank Hullman he lived with Mrs. Lillian Hull man, of 2601 Mongoll Avenue, three miles from his Thirteenth-street home. As Hullman he was understood to be travel ing salesman whose business took him away from the city most of the time. Luther had lived with Mrs. Hullman as Hullman for six years and was well known by his neighbors there under that name. Mrs. Hullman spoke of him fre quently to one neighbor. She said: "Frank is a very nervous man. Some times he gets up in the middle of the night and goes down to the office dfid works all the rest of the night. Luther died at the Hullman house from an overdose of morphine, which it is be lieved was not taken with suicidal intent. At the time Mrs. Luther was visiting a sister at Detroit. DAY, OF SYRACUSE. Chancellor Likes Tainted Money and Is Physical Giant. Syracuse, N. T., Corr. New York World. Dr. J. R. Iay, chancellor of Syracuse University, who jumped Into an interna tional limelight by attacking President Roosevelt and his policies, stands 6 feet 4 Inches in his stockinged feet, and weighs 260 pounds. He ranks high intellectually, and he is by far the best orator in Syra cuse. His shoulders are as broad as those of Jim Jeffries. His arms are as long as Bob Fitzsimmons". His head is large and his face is strongly marked with the lines of force and character. When strangers see him for the first time in the streets of Syracuse they invariably take a second look at him. He always dresses in severe black, usually wearing a black slouch hat and a long Prince Albert coat. Chancellor Day is a man who never fusses over the small details of life. These he leaves for others giving his attentions to the big problems. The university will be a lasting monument to him. He built it up from a small college to a great uni versity with nearly 3600 students. Those who have read his attacks on the Presi dent say the university will fall off in at tendance more than 500 students, but the Chancellor loves a fight, and when he goes into it he stays In until the finish. Although a big man physically, the chancellor Is not a heavy eater. He en Joys the good things of life, but does not intend to get Bright's disease or the gout by living hlgh. If the chancellor has a fad It is farming. Every Summer he goes to Lake Placid in the Adirondacks and rests on a farm. There he discards the city dress and looks after his crops. In the Summer he puts on a little weight and by hard work in the Winter works It off. During the months of university work the chancellor rises at 7 o'clock and works until 5 or 6 o'clock. After dinner he gen erally goes to the home of one of the pro fessors, where university matters are dis cussed. The one hobby of the chancellor is money. He does not worship it, but he does want to get money for the univer sity, and thus far he has been highly suc cessful. Rockefeller, Archbold, James J. Belden and Lyman C. Smith, all million aires, have dropped millions into his out stretched hand. He hopes to make the university equal to the Chicago Univer sity, both in money contributions and also in standing. The only ambition the chancellor ever had was gratified at Los Angeles three years ago, when he was elected a bishop of the Methodist Church, After consider ing the appointment he declined, being one of a very few men who reject such a high honor. As an orator he has no superior In the Methodist Church. His oration on McKin ley after the President's death was a classic, and was pronounced by many to be one of the most touching tributes ever paid to the dead President, He has a Big Sale Special sale of Latest 25c Music, special at. . , broad grasp of several languages, but rarely uses them in conversation. As a maker of epigrams the chancellor Is a master. He hurled a few at the Pres-: ldent, and in all of his annual discourses at the college there is a regular fireworks display of phrases and epigrams that cling to the memory. Students of English say that the chancellor is one of the best Eng lish scholars of the day, and yet this big man, who Is now attracting so much ad verse criticism from his defense of trusts and combinations, was brought up on a Maine farm amid poor surroundings and had to hew for himself a broad pathway in life. In his youth he migrated to the lumber fields of Wisconsin and there lay on his stomach many a night, a candle by his side, perfecting himself In theology. He gets a salary of $7500 a year and the rent of his house, which is modestly furnished. He and his wife and daughter comprise the immediate members of his family. As riches go, Chancellor Day is a poor man. He has been closely associated with the Standard Oil magnates, but they have never made any big money for him. His earthly possessions would probably not total up more than $100,000, If that. Chancellor Day is a stiff Republican. In local politics he generally votes for the man who be believes will make the best Mayor. When James K. McGuire was Mayor of Syracuse he and the chancellor touched elbows very forcibly. The chan cellor riddled the Mayor for certain offi cial acts, terming him an anarchist. The Mayor, a small man, weighing about 115 pounds, retorted by terming the chancel lor "that death's head on the hill, who defeats any cause he espouses." The chancellor and McGuire never spoke af terward, neither did they clash in print. Chancellor Day is broad-minded in reli gion. Rev. Michael Clune, rector of St. John's Catholic Church, has been invited many times to address the students on oratory and literature. Chancellor Day likes "tainted money." He says he can purify It. BRIDGE-BUILDING WORRY How Engineer? Spanned the Gorge of the Zambesi. World's Work. The riveting up of the Zambesi bridge, Africa, proved to be a more formidable undertaking than had been anticipated. Several of the riveters we brought from England were unable to stand the climate, and we had to depend largely on the men in the country. We found that an average day's work in England and in Africa were two very different things. Although we had good hydraulic and pneumatic equip ment, the rate of progress was rather slow. An interesting incident occurred during the riveting. A leopard, which had pre. viously devastated the henroosts of every one In our locality, besides taking eundry dogs and cats, was run over by an en gine one night. He had apparently been dazzled by the headlight and had lain on the track. He was seen by the driver, who pulled up. The skin was found to be scarcely damaged. The deep pools among the islands in the river were the haunt of numerous hippo. potami, which, although peaceable most of the year, if left alone, at certain times became dangerous. We were chased on one or two occasions when in Canadian canoes, but never came to grief. Others were not so fortunate. Three canoes were overturned in a week. In one case one of the civil commissioners' native pad dlers was drowned. In another, the man overturend lost his rifle and other gear and had to swim to one of the islands where he remained all night. Another adventure that befell two of our riveters is perhaps worth recording. They went a little way along the gorge and there found the remains of a reedbuck. They started to cut out the horns. Sud denly they heard a growl behind them Turning, they saw a lioness with two cubs, who was evidently annoyed at this Interference with her dinner. The two men did not stop to argue, but made a bee line for the gorge, down which they jumped about as dangerous a proceeding, one would think, as facing the lion. Luckily they stopped sliding a good way down and returned very much bruised and excited The lioness was followed next day for some distance, but the party were unable to come up with her.

C, for It has been destroyed and rebuilt so many times In Its tragic career that tombs and their contents are the only reminders of its Phoenician origin. Distant Impres sions of dazzling white are toned down by a stroll through Its shadowy, well- paved byways, as the stuccoed fronts are often in bright colors and have glass inclosed balconies gay with flowers and draperies. One misses the spacious court yards and general air of roominess that mark the residences of Seville, but even that city makes no such striking display of marble In interior decoration stair ways, floors, columns, brought from Italian quarries, in modest houses also, are witnesses of the days when Cadiz was a richer city than London. $ Co.

MADE GIRL DO SEARCHING IiONE BANDIT IN YOSEMITE WAS VERY JOCOSE. Passengers to the Number of 45 Stood Up tn Row Awaiting Turn to Be Robbed. FRESNO, Cal., July 8. A special to the Republican from Berenda tonight announces that the lone highwayman who held up five stages near Ath wanee Saturday night had been cap tured. The name of the bandit or par ticulars of the capture could not be ascertained. The arrest was made at Wawoua. The first authentic information was received at 10:30 P. M. tonight in Fresno, when J. F. Tibbett. of River side, who, with his wife and Miss Amy Micnelbacher had come out of the val ley. The robbery occurred six mlies from the stopping place at Athwanee on the Yosemlte side. At that place the road winds around the side of a nill and comes to a sudden point. At this point the robber stepped out and ordered the driver of the first stage to stop. The bandit had the drop on the driver and the latter quickly com plied. The highwayman wore a battered white hat and a black calico mask. Ho had sacks tied about his feet to pre vent the leaving of any tell-tale tracks as a clue for a pursuing posse. He held In ills right hand a Winchester. The man behind the mask and gun or dered the passengers to alight. The women screamed, but the robber em phasized his order, and all quickly got out of the stage and lined up on the road with their hands above their heads. H. W. Elliott, from Hornitos, was ordered to take the express box from the stage. While he was waiting for the other stages to come up the robber shot the lock off the Wells Fargo box and rifled its contents. The bandit stopped the other stages in the same way, lining the passengers up and keeping them covered with his gun. When all the passengers, 45 in num ber, were lined up, the bandit, with a show of gaiety, selected a young and pretty girl as his first assistant and told her she was appointed collector. She hesitated a moment, then went about the work. The girl did not come up to the robber's requirements, and telling her that she was a poor high wayman, ordered her to get into the line and lie appointed a man to take her place, and required aim to search the passengers. An Englishwoman and her daughter were in the party and when the robber approached to search her she dropped In the road In a dead faint. He only laughed and searched her. Classifying the President. Washington Corr. New York World. It was dull at the Seante and they were discussing the President in the cloakroom. "I think," said one, "that the President can best be compared to Cromwell." "Not so," said another; "I would liken him to Napoleon." "Pshaw!" broke in a third; "He ls Atllla the Hun." "Or a male Joan of Arc." "No, no," said the youngest of the party, "he ls St. George." "Gentlemen," remarked the oldest and wisest of the gathering, as he spat into the open fire, "don't you think it would be well to allow him to alight before we attempt to classify him?"
