MiNNEAPObfts, July 17. About 100
miles miles south wee t of this citv on the
I outskirts of n thick pine forest on Snake
j rivet is fine place where lives few
hundred peop)e. The other day a fish
ing party from that place returned from
the woods bringing with them wild
woman and her sixteen-year-old daugh
ter. The daughter tells the story to her
listeners of horrible suffering and pri
vation. ' She save that the husband and
father of the family was eaten by wolves
while intoxicated last March. Since
that time they have had no food. The
young children died of starvation and
were cooked and eaten, one by one, . by
the mother and the oldest daughter.
The mother's mind finally gave away
and Bhe is now a raving maniac. They
were taken to the county jail where they
will be taken care of pending an investi
gation, as it is thought that in all prob
abilities one or more of the children
were murdered by the demented mother.

San Dikgo, July 17. This is the third
day of the inquest in the Brown case,

no legal authority for the assault. The

Connecticut to the Substitution ol Elec
j troeutton for Hanging.
Hartford. July 15. One of the mat
ters which- may engage the attention of
the Connecticut legislature is the ques
tion of substituting electricity for hang
ing in the infliction of the death penaltv
in this state. The report of the recent
electrocution of four murderers at Sing
Sing has led different parts of the state
to the consideration of the subject. Rep
resentative Stevens, of Bridgeport, will
probably introduce the bill. He will be
careful, however, to omit the clause re
garding secrecy, as he regards that very
un-American idea prejudicial to the in
terest of society, and a direct violation of
the constitution of the United States, so
far as it relates to the liberty of the
press. He cannot see where the slight
est good is derived therefrom.:

knocked - senseless by a stone, which
struck him on the head. Policemen
dispersed the crowd before further injury
was done. The letter further says
American residents of Durango have
called on their government for protec
tion, and that the more ignorant among
the Catholic residents declare services
shall never be held in' the new. church.

yenrs lived with Roberts as his wife un
der an assumed name.- The " Roberts

$14,000 cash to drop the suit She had
secured about $20,000 from Roberts dur
ing his life, which had been judiciously
invested in realty, and she has a lot of

Republicans Make no Nomination.
Louisville, July 15. At, Pnducah
yesterday the republican convention de
cided not to nominate a candidate for

tne people's partv candidate. In an in
terview, Jesse Harper, the people's
party leader, said the purpose is to get a
strong vote in Kentuckv to show that

The Wills of Noah and Jacob.
The origin of testaments is lost in ob
scurity, but doubtless they followed soon
after the first institution of private prop
erty. Eusebius says that Noah made a
will soon after the flood wherein he dis
posed of the whole world. He was cer
tainly possessed , Of a -considerable landed
estate, but Eusebius' story of the testa
znent in writing and witnessed under his
seal needs confirmation. - '
. In the forty-eighth chapter of Genesis,
however, we do find mention of a will,
wherein Jacob bequeathed to his son Jo
seph twice as much as to' his other chil
dren. This was not a testament in rat
ing, but a verbal or "nuncupative testa
ment, declared by- the testator "in ex
tremis' before witnesses, and depending
upon oral testimony.
Such "nuncupative" testaments were
at one time recognized in English law,
but in the eighteenth century Black
stone says they were- fallen into disuse,
and hardly ever heard of. All the Year

Bow -Leap Year Started.
Hampson. in his "Medii CEVL Kalan
dariuui.". quotes the following quaint
tradition from an bid Saxon treatise:
"Some assert that the bitwextus or leap
day comes through this, that Joshua
prayed to God that the sun might stand
still for one day's length, that he might
sweep the heathen from the land that
God had grunted him and his followers.
It is true that the sun did stand still for
one day's length over the city of Gebaon.
but the day went forward in the same
manner as other days. . And the bissex
tus is not through that,, as some da
think." In France and some parts of
Spain and Portugal there exists a tra
dition known as 'the ghost of leap
year." ' Belie vers ihr this say that a mar
vellous monster annually appears on
leap day and disarranges human affairs
