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.

any credit. He has submitted his case

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.

eral times. They remained together in

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

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

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. He
spills no blood, but he murders a man to
mane a pig. ti is tne Dasest of suicides
and perhaps the commonest.
The Ideal Camera.
Outdoors.
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.

LED DOUBLE LIFE
Sudden Death of Kansas City
Man Discloses Secret.
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

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.
An Old City in Spain.
Four-Track News.
Exploring Cadiz Is the threading of a
labyrinth, much of it as Intricate as the
older part of Boston and with street so
much narrower that few of them permit
the passage or carriages In opposite dl
rections.
The place seems rather modern In spite
of having been founded 1100 B. 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.

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?"
