SHOT WIDOW FOUR TIMES Aged Lover of Handsome Woman Killed Her When She Came to Depot. Mrs. Russell Died Shortly After She Was Taken to the Hospital. Albany, N.Y., Nov. 29.—Jos- eph F. White, for ten years or- derly in the state treasurer’s office, today shot Mrs, Josephine Russell, a handsome widow. Jeal ousy was motiye. White is 65. years old and a widower. His home before he entered the treasury depart- ment was in Binghampton. He had just been released from the hospital and his friends claim that he was intoxicated when he did the shooting. Mrs. Russell was 85 years old. White formerly boarded with the woman. Early this morning he appeared at a milk depot where Mrs. Russel! traded and spend the day until 4:30.

GREAT WESTERN ROAD SOLD PERSISTENTLY REPORTED THAT UNION PACIFIC HAS BOUGHT THE MAPLE LEAF. Chicago, Nov. 28.—The Post says: The report that the Union Pacific has purchased the Chicago Great West ern road was reiterated during the afternoon with such positiveness and circumstantial evidence in its favor that it received general acceptance The deal, which has been pending for some time, was said to have been closed and the Chicago Great Western will shortly lose its identity as an in- dependent road and either be wholly absorbed by the Union Pacific itsell or distributed piecemeal among the Eastern connections of that system. One report has it that the Chicagu Great Western will be divided between the Chicago and Northwestern and tha Milwaukee and St. Paul systems, both of which have for several years beex close' connections of the Union Paci- fic. The Northwestern, it is said, will take that portion of the Maple Leaf which runs from Marshalitown, Ia., to Kansas City,-and the Milwaukee and ~St. Paul will take the St. Paul end of the line. : There is anothér view of the case, however, which is that the Union Pa- cific will keep the Maple Leaf and operate it as the Hastern end of its own system. -It wilf, it is declared, glve the Union Pacific a very good outlet from Omaha to Chicago and the short line from Omaha to St. Paul. REPORT I:l_gT CONFIRMED. Wall Street, However, Thinks Some Deal Has Been Made." New York, Noy. 23.—No confirma- tion of the reported purchase of the Chicago Great Western railway by the Union Pacific 4nterests is .obtainabie. An interest identified with the latter road refused to discuss the report and representatives of the Chicago Great ‘Western bad nothing to_say. wIn Wall street it is generally believed that there has been an accumulation of Great Western securities: and - thaf. some announcement ot a deal will soon: ln ‘made. 5 the only apparent, o SEIZED B, CANADIA[ ‘S Ten Afnerican Fishing Vessels Were Rounded Up By the Government. Each Boat. Was Fined and All the Seines and Fish Were Confiscated.

B. The fish- ing craft were seized near St. George last night, though the an nouncement of this proceedure was not made until today. Three specific charges were preferred against vessels: That they had fished on Sunday; that they had illegally caught fish in had seined illegally in Canadian ‘waters. fenses each boat was fined $100 and for the last $200. In addi- tion to this all seines and fish were confiscated. It is understood the fines will be paid aud that the entire mat- ter will "be disposed of without involving any international gques- tion. The aggregate value of the craft is about $20,000. The seiz- ure is the most extensive that has been made by a Canadian cruiser for many years.

Not even in the heart of Manila city could there be found forty-seven acres of Philippine territory as interesting as that ‘amount of space covered by the islands’ display. at jgthe World’s Fair. Here is an exposition within an ex- position, a little wheel that revolves independently of the larger one encom- passing it. Scores of buildings are filled with ex- | hibits, native life is depicted by as many different villages® as there are tribes on the islands, military drills are American fishing craft, including | given by Philippine troops, and con- certs are rendered by native bands. For its amusement features the Philip- pine exposition has the humorous Igor- SOUTH ENTRANCE PALACE OF LIBERAL ARTS, WORLD'S FAIR. rote, who dines on dog meat, and visitors are entertained by Visayan actors and actresses. Nothing is lack- ing-to make the show complete. The Administration building is a rep- Hea of the government offices in Ma- nila, while the Art and Education building reproduces: in miniature . the cathédral within the walled city, even the mellowed tints of age being faith- fully rendered. A section of the an- clent but still serviceable town wall has been reconstructed to serve the dou- ble purpose of a gateway to the show and a museum of arms and war relics. The other main edifices are types of Filipino homes, being built of undress- ed timber, .bamboo and_rattan, with thatched roofs and broad verandas. Then there are the tribal villages nestling under the trees, some of thé houses perched high up among the boughs, others on piles above the wa- ters of the Arrowhead lake, all of them actual dwellings fashioned of native materials by native workmanship and illustrating the manners, customs-and pursuits of their occupants. Here are women weaving a coarse cloth on a rude hand loom, others making bas- rice. One group of men are in village council, trying an offender according to their tribal laws; others are slowly moving in a circular dance to the thump of tomtoms and the clang of brass gongs; others, again, ara smelting iron by the aid of a primitive but most in- genious bellows, the constituent parts of which are a bambot tube and an air- tight mop of feathers working therein like the piston of a syringe. And theése are but a few of an almost endless va- riety of life pictures. The ethnological problem is a some- ‘what complicated one; but, although there are no fewer than sixteen races represented among the village dwellers, the scouts and the constabulary, each race Rpeaking®its own dialect and fol- lowing its own customs, all may be roughly classified into four groups— the true aboriginals or non-Malays, the pagan Mulnys. the. Christian Malays and the Mohammedan Malays. The first are the dwarf Negritos, with dark skins and woolly heads, wearérs. of scanty raiment, proficient in. the use of the bow and poisoned arrow, a race | of nomads and forest dwellers, pagans pure and simple. They live in their own stockaded village. Next. to them are the Igorrotes, Wwhose origin is traced back to the first” wave of Maldy invasion.’ Here, again, we have scanty clothing, amounting. almost to nudity, but copper colored skins, long wavy tresses. pleasant fea- tured faces and fine physiques, even. though the stature be small. Among these pagan Malaysare the head hunt- ers and the dog eaters, They are sav- ages; yet have their.code of laws and a knowledge of several primitive indus- tries. = ; _ THe Christian Malays. produced by resented by the Visayans, a. tdll_and handsome race, dressing well: living in pretty homies, skilled in weaving, dye-., s ing, basket making, hat making, wood carving and other Handicrafts, mus elans of no mean merit, the one group: of natives whe ecame early and: thor- oughly under the lnflnence of the early. |’ Spanish settlers. .

MASKS AND REVOLVERS ARE FOUND CATED ON TWO OF THE MEN NOW UNDER ARREST. Minneapolis,” Nov. 2<—The Minne- apolis police believe they have in cus- tody the desperadoes - who held up Mingo's saloon, Columbia Heights, last Tuesday night, killing Freddie King and wounding Ed Mingo. A red mask and angher of a m were found in possession of two of the _ prisoners. All of the suspects, say the pvllee, correspond in a general way to the deéscription of the murderers. Anotier strong clue is the fact that the overalls 'and other apparel discard- ed by-the highwaymen after the hold- up were covered with grease and all three of the suspects worked until shortly before the murder at W. S. Nott & Co.'s fire engine factory, near the scene of the holdup, where it is <claimed by- the police that their shop clotbes would become grease stained. The prisoners are young men, the eldest being twenty-three, years. of age, the youngest only twenty-one. They are Charles Hammond, John Kolb and 0. Calderwit. Calderwit was arrested at his home, 922 University avenue northeast, while Hammond and Kolb were taken”into custody at the Central hotel, 110 Sec- ond street south. Several persons in the saloon at the time of the holdup say at least one,of the highwaymen wore a red mask, while the face covering of the other two was of 4 darker shade.
