Prisoners Arrested for Cattle-Driving
Ride to Jail at Expense
Truly Astounding.
DUBLIN, June 13. fSpecial.) Tha
counties of GaJway and Roscommon
have been presented by the constabu
lary authorities with exceedingly large
claims In connection with cattle driv
ing and the claims are entirely for car
hire when prisoners have been arrest
ed and had to be conveeyd to the near
est town where a resident magistrate
could be found, or to prison af'er the
prosecutions. In the case of County
Galway, the chairman of the County
Council, at the meeting of which body
the constabulary bills were brought
up for consideration, stated that the
total claims amounted to $3500 for car
hire. Strong exception was taken to
some of the items. The chairman re
ferred to one where J2S0 was charged
for conveying prisoners from Derry
brien to Woodford, which worked out
at $55 for each prisoner.
The chairman said that patriotism
was a great boast with some people
who shouted and cheered at meetings,
but who gladly let their cars to police
men at exorbitant prices. Some peo
ple said that they would be boycotted
If they hired their cars to the police,
but when big prices were offered they
went to the League and said: "Are ye
going to keep $75 or $80 out of our
pockets for driving a few prisoners to
Galway?" Mr. Griffin remarked that
the people of Balllnasloe were very
patriotic when they charged $5. a mile
for driving prisoners. Mr. Cosgrove
said ever, if we have to pay, we should
not condemn the cattle drivers.
The chairman read a telegram which
he had received from Mr. Burke, who
represents the Gort division, stating
that half the parish had been arrested
for cattle driving. The chairman sug
gested that they should wire back saying:
"The persons arrested should walk into
Jail, as we are after paying $3500 today
for the conveyance of cattle drivers."
At Roscommon County Council the
secretary laid before the meeting a num
ber of police charges for conveying pris
oners, and pointed out that whereas the
charge for the March quarter last year
was only $43, this year it was $443. The
secretary referred to one instance where
$170 was charged for the conveyance of
12 prisoners. A committee was appointed
to go into the items.
KILLS U1MDUTIFUL SON
Spartan Father Objects to His Mar
riage Beneath Station.
BERLIN, June 13. (Special.) A roman
tic love story has ended In a terrible trag
edy at Lichtenau, a suburb of Baden
Baden. Some time ago Major Bauer, a re
tired army officer, received a letter from
his son. who was undergoing his military
service at Freiburg, in which he stated
that he had fallen in love with the beau
tiful daughter of a railway brakeman and
that he intended to marry her. The
father wrote Indignant letters threaten
ing to cut him off without a penny if he
should make such a mesalliance, but the
young man's decision could not be shak
en, and he obtained leave to go home to
see his father.
A stormy scene took place between the
two. the young man declaring he would
gladly give up name and position for his
sweetheart. At this the father drew a
revolver, and, exclaiming that death for
both was better than a dishonored name,
he shot his son, and then sent a bullet
through his own head.
HUSBANDS ARE OVERFED
Noted German Physician Calls Dot
ing W ives to Task.
BERLIN, June 13. (Special.) Professor
Carl von Noorden, one of the greatest
medical experts in Europe, has uttered
an emphatic protest against wives who
overfeed their husbands. Addressing a
number of prominent scientists on the
subject of "Food and Nourishment,"
Professor von Noorden declared that the
reason so many men begin to get fat
Immediately after they have married is
because their wives give them their fav
orite dishes on every possible occasion.
In order to keep slim, said Professor von
Noorden, persons should avoid butter,
cream end sweets, and eat bread and
potatoes in moderation only. Lean meat
and large quantities of green vegetables,
salads and raw or cooked fruits should
form the principal part of their diet.
Different people require different food.
In some instances half a pound of meat,
a quarter of a pound of bread, and a
pint of beer above the proper allowance
might easily cause .an increase of 25
pounds of fat tissues in a year. Walk
ing is useful to reduce weight if on an
ascent. Persons who walk on a level,
however, will not derive any permanent
benefit.
TORTURE GRAIN JHIEVES
Russian Officials Terrorize Inhabi
tants of Famine-Stricken District.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 13. (Special.)
No punishment is hard enough for him
who steals grain in time of famine, think
the Russians; .therefore, two men have
been tortured to death for this crime at
Neplueve, in the province of Kursk. Re
cently three sacks of grain were stolen
from, the depleted village granary and
Chafykh, a peasant known to have revo
lutionary tendencies, was charged with
the theft. He protested his innocence,
but prolonged torture forced a confession
from him. The names of his ac
complices were then demanded from
him, but the unfortunate swore that
he committed the theft alone until red
hot nails were hammered into his heels.
Then he named his uncle Bosykh, also a
revolutionary.
Bosykh was promptly arrested and was
so cruelly beaten that in a few minutes
he was a shapeless mass, but still con
scious. When he begged for a priest, the
village headsman poured hot tar into the
dying man's mouth.
The bodies of the two men were after
wards publicly exhibited as a warning
example to revolutionists thinking of
stealing grain.
ESCAPES TO PUNISH WIFE
After Committing Murjjler, Convict
Calmly Returns to Cell.
ROME. June 13. (Special.) Swift
punishment was meted out to an un
faithful wife by Antonio Glselll, a pris
oner serving a six-months' sentence in
Barl Jail. Having been told by a
frfiend who visited him in his cell that
his wife had a love affair, Glselll made
his escape and no trace of him was
found.
After having been absent for seven
hours, however, the prisoner returned
and announced that he had been at his
homo, and had murdered his wife and
thrown her body into a well. He is
now calmly awaiting trial, convinced
that no jury will convict him.

VENDETTA IN CAUCASUS
SUICIDK OF DESPOXDEXT LOV
ER CAUSES DEADLY FEUD.
Poison, Pistols and Swords Used In
War Between Members of
Opposing Families.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 13 (Spe
cial.) Details have been received here of
a terrible affair at Elizabethpol, In the
Caucasus. It appears that a young Ar
menian who had returned from the
United States where he had made con
siderable money, fell in love with a Cir
cassian girl, whose parents, however,
firmly refused to allow the young couple
to marry, because the Armenian intended
to take his bride back with him to Amer
ica. For some time he tried to over
come their opposition but matters came
to a crisis when the young man was
driven from the girl's house and forbid
den to enter it again. In a frenzy of
rage and despair the unhappy man com
mited suicide.
Then began a vendetta between the
members of the two families. Deter
mined to avenge her brothr's death.Usun
Tutu, a sister of the dead lover, hired
a man who killed the girl's brother. Her
revenge, however, did not stop with this.
She made some ice cream, mixed it with
arsenic, and sent a man to sell It to
Sotlkh, the girl's father. Sotikh and five
of his relatives ate the ice cream and
two of them died in great agony within
a couple of hours, while the other four
were taken seriously ill.
Sotikh's oldest son, suspecting Usun
Tutu, made his way to her house and
finding her In the street fired three times
at her wounding her severely. The
girl's relatives seeing that she was dan
gerously wounded removed her with all
haste to the nearest hospital, and by an
extraordinary coincidence they arrived
at the same moment Sotikh's family were
carrying their poisoned relatives into the
institution. The result was as might
have been expected. A pitched battle be
gan between the rival families and for
some time revolvers and swords were
used indiscriminately, a large number of
persons being wounded.
The police, drawing their swords, in
tervened in the combat and drove the
combatants away, after making several
arrests. The girl Usun Tutu has since
died from her wounds.
SLAUGHTER OF INNOCENTS
Sons
Birds of France Threatened
With Extinction.
PARIS, June 13. (Special.) Owing to
the extreme rigor of last Winter and the
willful destruction of songbirds, France
is threatened with the extinction of her
larks, finches and thrushes. Professor
Corcelle, of4 Chambery. has addressed an
appeal to the public warning them that if
farmers, gamekeepers and poachers con
tinue their conduct they will soon have
exterminated all the small birds in the
country. As proof of the necessity for
legislative measures he declares that
thousands of larks are killed and sold at
6 cents a dozen.
So great is the slaughter sometimes
that large quantities of birds which can
not be sold are thrown away."
BURGLAR'S PLAN FOILED

of watchmen who . would, he guaranteed,
prevent the large number of burglaries
from which the town and its suburbs had
recently been suffering. The cost of the
watchmen was to be considerably less
than that of the police. The municipal
council considered the offer and accepted
it. They then made Inquiry into the
record of M. Reif and his watchmen.
Reif was found to be an Austrian born
in London and brought up in Brussels,
and wanted by the police of Brussels and
of other places. His offer of a cheap
night watch was the outcome of an in
genious idea for the wholesale burglary
of Lille and its neighborhood. Reif is
now in prison, and has doubtless realized
that too keen a sense of humor is some
times a dangerous thing.
THINK SITE UNSUITABLE
Spirited Discussion Arises Over the
Erection of Parnell Monument.
DUBLIN. June 13. (Special.) A
spirited discussion has arisen over the
suitability of the site selected for St.
Gaudens' statue of Charles Stewart
Parnell, which was practically a gift
from America. The contractor, Thomas
Connolly, on Monday received a license
from the Corporation to commence op
erations, and workmen subsequently
erected a boarding over the site of the
future monument, preparatory to lay
ing down its foundations. The place
where the statue is to stand is at the
head of O'Connell street, opposite the
Rotunda. It is surrounded by a net
work of " trolley and other wires. The
monument will consist of a trilateral
pillar, the statue standing at the side
which faces O'Connell street. The
whole erection will measure 65 feet
from the top to the base, and will be
16 feet square on the base. It is all in
coarse stone, each stone being, fully two
tons in weight.
Above the statue will be a bronze
harp, and the inscription, in gilt letters,
"To Charles Stewart Parnell." The
whole pillar will stand on a solid block
of concrete about 30 feet in diameter and
seven feet thick. The pillar will be sur
mounted by a single stone which will
weigh about seven tons, over which will
be a bronze ornament with a torch, or
"fire-flash" to crown the whole.
It has been suggested that the appear
ance of the pillar when viewed from
Rutland square would be anything but
impressive. St. Gaudens, however, was
quite acquainted with the proposed site
of the erection, and carefully studied the
effect of the houses on each side, and
the proximity of the Rotunda. An inter
esting description of the experiments
conducted by him toward this end has
been given by his son. Homer St. Gau
dens. At no part of the monument will
the tram lines be more than three feet
from its base. -
SAVES BRITISH BABIES.
Hon. Mrs. Bertrand Russell Con
ducts School for Mothers.
LONDON, June 13. Hundreds of poor
mothers in London are deeply grateful to
the Hon. Mrs. Bertrand Russell, who was
formerly Mrs. A. Pearsall Smith, of Phil
adelphia, whose school for mothers in
this city has proved a great success. Mrs.
Russell commenced her ambitious scheme
in a very small way first there were
nightly classes for mothers who were al
lowed to bring their children and who
were instructed by Dr. Dora Bunting
how to properly feed and clothe their lit
tle ones. These classes immediately be
came very popular, but Mrs. Russell, who
was often present in person, soon discov
ered that the mothers themselves were
as poorly fed as their babies and to rem
edy this she changed the night classes to
day classes and provided a substantial
dinner at a price of 3 ctfets to those who
could afford to pay, while those who
could not were fed free of charge.
The mortality of children in England is
appalling when compared with that of
