Chapman, senior member of the firm of E. R. Chapman & Co., bankers of this city. Young Chapman was about twenty-three years old and had recently graduated from Oxford. He visited his home here early in the present year. During his stay here and at the time of his departure he appeared to be in excellent health, both physically and mentally, and his friends say they are unable to account fiuir his strange action in taking his life. RESCUED BY FIREMEN. Forty Children Taken From Burning Tenement. New York, Nov. 30.—With children held under their arms, clinging around their necks or hanging to their shoul- gers, firemen early in the day carried forty screaming youngsters from a burning tenement house at 234 and; 236 Ninth avenue. At the same time! thirty adults followed the rescuers down the fire escapes. Among them was a woman who for two weeks has been helpless from a paralytic stroke. The building, a five-story tenement, was occupied by twelve families, in which the number of children aver- aged from three to seven. All were asleep when a passerby saw the fire. The airshaft and stairways were ablaze and the tenants fled to the fire escapes in their night clothing. Mrs. ! W. A. Connaughton, an aged woman | living on the second floor, who had been bedridden for two weeks from paralysis, arose and climbed into the street unaided. The fright of the mo- and she hurried to a neighbor’s home without a twinge of pain. The finan- | cial loss cansed by the fire was small.

Mr. Arthur Chapman writing from Durban, Natal, South Afri- ca, says: ““As a proof that Cham- | berlain’s Cough Remedy is a cure suitable for old and young, ! I pen you the following: A neigh- ber of mine had a child just over two months old. It had a very bad cough and the parents did not know what to give it. I sug- gested that if they would get a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough 6a' {Remedy and put some upon the | {dummy teat the baby was suck-! ing it would no doubt cure the It is further charged ‘that|’ child. This they did and brought | about a quick relief and cured the baby.” This remedy is for .sale by Barker’s Drug store. 1 SELECTS REAR ADMIRAL CABINET 'DISCUSSES AMERICAN MEMBER OF ANGLO-RUSSIAN_ BOARD OF INQUIRY. DECISION ON LOTTERY ENTERPRISES RULING OF ATTORNEY GENERAL AFFECTS MANY MAGAZINES AND NEWSPAPERS. Washington, Nov. 30.—An important meeting of the cabinet was held dur- ing the day. Two questions of con- cern were considered, the first being the appointment by the president of a representative of the American gov- ernment, who will be a naval officer of high rank, on the tribunal which is to determine the questions which have arisen between Great Britain and Russia over the firing by Admiral Ro- jestvensky’s Baltic fleet upon the Brit- ish trawlers in the North sea, and the other being an opinion rendered by Attorney General Moody regarding the legality, under the lottery laws, of “guessing contests,” which have been conducted by many newspapers and magazines. The invitation extended to the pres- ident by Great Britain and Russia to name a member of the tribunal was considered carefully, especially by the president and Secretaries Hay and Morton. When the cabinet adjourned no definite conclusion as to who should be selected had been reached: but it was settled definitely that the ap- pointee would be a rear admiral of the navy. It is practically certain choice would be made among the three ofii cers—Rear Admirals Davis, Chadwick and Sands. Admiral Dewey was con- sidered for the appointment and the desire was generally expressed that he should have it, but he has let it be un- derstood that he does not care for the honor. Announcement of an appoint- ment may be expected in a few days. Some time ago, on the request of Postmaster General Wynne, the presi- dent directed the attorney general to submit to him an opinion as to the propriety, under the law restricting the operations of lottery enterprises through the mails, of guessing con- tests of various kinds which have been features of many publications for sev- eral years. That opinion was submit- ted during the day and-was turned over- by--the president to Postmaster Generai Wynne, who hereafter will be guided in his direction of the depart- ment by it. The opinion is of a most sweeping character and, while the postmaster general has no inclination to work hardship upon anybody, he will put the attorney general’s judg- ment into effect as soon as may be practicable. The attorney general says the schemes are in effect lotteries under the guise of guessing contests. PRESIDENT AT WASHINGTON. Returns to White House From His Visit to St. Louis. Washington, Nov. 30.—President Roosevelt arrived here at 7:02 a. m. from his visit to the St. Louis exposi- tion. The special train was awaited by a throng of several hundred people in the Pennsylvania railroad station and as the train drew into the station the crowd broke into cheers. It was thirty-five minutes later when the president, accompanied by Mrs. Roose- velt and his daughter, Miss Alice Roosevelt, alighted from their car. They were conducted immediately to their carriage, which was in waiting, and driven rapidly to the White House. The trip of the president, ended by his safe arrival at the White House, in some circumstances was one of the most notable he ever took. The ar- rangements for the comfort, conveni- ence and personal safety of the presi- dent and Mrs. Roosevelt were the most thorough ever made. They were planned, with the approval of Mr. Roozevelt, by Secretary Loeb and John E. Wilkie, chief of the secret service. They were accepted by President David R. Francis of the exposition company and by the St. Louis officials and were carried into effect absolutely to a letter. FOR EDUCATION OF NEGROES. Ground Broken for Great Institution at Spalding, Ala. Birmingham, Ala.; Nov. 30.—Ground was broken during the day for the first building of a great negro educational institution which the Freedmen’s Aid and Southern Educational society, an auxiliary of the Methodist Episcopal church, will erect at Spalding, five miles from here. The first building will cost $30,000 and others will be erected, making the total investment several hundred thousand dollars. Among those taking part in the cere- i monies were Bishop J. M. Walden of Cincinnati, Bishop D. A. Goodsell of Boston, FPresident F. M. Jackson of the Birmingham Commercial club and Mayor N. Drennan of Birmingham. HEAVY DUTY IMPOSED. Spain Will Tax Imported Corn and Flour. Madrid, Nov. 30.—Finance Minister Osma has introduced a bill in the chamber of deputies imposing 80 cents duty on imported corn (per 100 kilos) and $1.40 on imported flour (per 100 kilos) whenever the price of Spanish ! wheat exceeds $5.60 per 100 kilos. The new duties will become effec- tive immediately after the bill is ap- proved by the cortes. Wedding Party Slaughtered. Belgrade, Servia, Nov. 30.—A wed- ding party near Monastir, Macedonia, has been attacked and. slaughtered by Greek Tands, according to a telegram received at the foreign office. Thir- ieen of the party were killed and five were wounded. The Greeks escaped to the mountains. SMALL SKIRMISHES FREQUENT. No Indications of Japanese Advance on Mukden. Mukden, Nov. 30.—A Japanese cav- alryman, who has been captured by the Russians, declares that General Kuroki is not dead as has been ru- mored among the Chinese. There has been no important change In the sitpation. Small skirmishes are reported on the eastward, but there 18 no sign of a definite Japanese ad- vance. The close proximity of the opposing lines in many places is leading to new and unexpected developments. Re-| cently the Japanese have been using dogs as scouts, sending them out from the trenches with long, cords attached. It is almost impossible.to detect these ‘wary animals, which unerringly locate the Russian position and give “warn- ing of any movement against the Japa- nese. Some of the Russians have managed, however, to strew the neu- tral ground with poisoned pork, thus thinning the ranks of the dog scout department. A number of rockets were recently gent up by the Japanese in the hope, apparently, of - drawing the Russian fire at night. Prisoners taken by the Russians are generally well clothed, but are said not to show any great desire to return to their own lines. ADVOGATE THE OPEN SHOP OCITIZENS' INDUSTRIAL bONVEN~ TION AT NEW YORK DIS- CUSSES SUBJECT. New York, Nov. 30.—Members of the Citizens’ Industrial association, representing all sections of the coun- try, were present when the second an- nual convention of the organization opened in the new Hotel Astor.

In his'address of: welcome President George C, Moon of the Manufacturers’ association of New York warned the delegates i ‘pitfalls they may encountern durin; eir stay in the city. He informed them that the place where the convention was being held was “in the Tenderloin, the tough- est part of New York,” and cautioned them to be careful of their valuables. Mr. Moon said that the idea of the “open shop,” of which thé convention is the exponent, has not progressed as far in New York as it has in other parts of the country. President David M. Parry, in his ad- dress, reviewed the growth of the “open shop” movement and said that within a year 1,000 factories have opened their doors to workmen with- out regard to their membership in unions.

CORONER S8AYS SUICIDE. Verdict in Case of Prominent Cincin- nati Railroad Man. Cincinnati, Nov. 30.—Coroner Wea- ver has rendered a verdict in the case of C. A. Parker, vice president of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton and Pere Marquette railroad, who died here suddenly in his office Nov. 19, finding that death was caused by suicide with prussic acid. . Mr. Parker's death at the time was Supposed to be from natural causes and no autopsy was held, neither was the coroner disposed to hold an in- quest and the body was forwarded to St. Louis for burial. Mr. Parker had recently come into the service of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton and Pere Marquette system and had been unusually busy in the work of reor- ganization. He had arrived from a business trip on the day of his death and had given no indication of ill health or of mental disturbance. It was discovered afterwards that just before his death he had placed in his desk all valuables carried on his per- son. He was seen to step behind a Screen where the water cooler was placed and where, presumably, he swallowed the fatal drug. On the day of Mr. Parker’s burial and almost at the hour of his funeral | Miss Elsie Gesterling died by her own hand in Chicago. It developed that She had been his stenographer in Den- ver and that there was a story of im- proper relations between them. The husband of Miss Gesterling’s mother said after his stepdaughter’s death that he believed that Parker and Miss Gesterling had agreed to die together. It was shown that just previous to Par- ker’s death he had visited Miss Ges- terling in Chicago, After these devel- opments the coroner decided to hold an inquest. From the testimony taken he now finds that Mr. Parker’s death Wwas caused by prussic acid self-admin- istered. RUN ON A SAVINGS BANK. Depositors Withdraw $50,000 From a Michigan Institution. Kalamazoo, Mich., Nov. 30.—Excited savings depositors of the Kalamazoo Savings bank Monday created a run on the institution and drew during the| day about $50,000 of their deposits. The bank was kept open two hours later than the usual closing hour and it is considered that the run is broken. .It is said that the run was caused by the suit begun here last week by some of the heirs of the Henry Brees estate. Part of the funds of the estate are kept at the bank and the institution Wwas made defendant with the execu- tors. This fact is said to have been misunderstood by a number of the savings depositors and twisted into a belief that the institution was not sound. j from ev RESEMBLED A . HUNDREDS OF SHOTS FIRED INTO 2 ZEIGLER, ILL, BY ATTACK- ERS IN AMBUSH. GATLING GUNS REPLY TO ASSAULT ADDITIONAL COMPANY OF MIL. ITIA ON THE SCENE TO PRO- TECT PROPERTY. Benton, Ill, Nov. 30.—Constant fir- ing at Zeigler during the night was almost like the noise of a battle. No less than 500 shots were fired into Zeigler from ambush, The shots came ry direction, but were aimed too high t6 do any damage. The two gatling guns on top of the office build- ings and coal tipple at Zeigler an- swered the fire, but at this hour it is not known if any one was hurt.
