At about 2 o’clock, howeyer, firemen found in the ruins the bodies of six boys who had been employed in the mule room. Nearly every one of the bodies had been burped beyond hope of their identification. The financial loss is estimated at between $500,000 and $600,000. The fire, the origin of which is not known, broke out after the 500 operatives had begun work and spread very rapidly. Several of the workmen and women jumped from windows, sustaining injuries. Others were taken from the windows in the upper stories. Persons thus rescued reported that some had been overcome by smoke in the burning building and the firemen immediately began search, which was without re- sult, until the flames drove them out- side the walls. Meanwhile officials of the mill were busy trying to locate all employes. MYSTERY SURROUNDS CASE. Prominent Staten Island Physiclan Mortally Wounded. New York, Jan. 28.—Dr. Charles W. Townsend, one of the best known physicians and surgeons on Staten Island, was shot and probably mor- tally wounded while in bed in his home at New Brighton, 8. I. The case is surrounded by mystery, but from the meager details which have been permitted to leak out by the from heights above the kite, the small birds of the air will alight on the string holding the kite and sway to and fro. Mysterious Glass Balls, According to a forelgn correspondent of the geologleal survey at Washing- ton, among the most interesting fea- tures of the small island of Billiton, between Sumatra and Borneo, an ls- land long famous for its rich tin mines, controlled by the Dutch government, are the “glass balls of Billiton,” found among the tin ore deposlts. These nat- ural glass balls are round, with grooved surfaces. Similar phenomena are oc- casfonally found in Borneo and Java as well as In Australla. The corre- spondent quoted thinks they cannot be artificial, and there are no volcanoes near enough to support the theory that they are volcanic bombs. Besides, it Is clalmed, the glassy rocks produced by the nearest volcanoes are quite dif- ferent In their nature from the mate- rial of the balls. It Is suspected that the mysterious objects were ejected ages ago from the volcanoes of the moon and afterward fell upon the earth. “Caracul”—Its Etymology.. I have often been asked for the ety- mology of “caracul,” which Is a term now largely used by furriers to denote a varlety of the fur called astrakban. The new English dictionary does not contaln caracul, but it has caracal, which is llable to be confused with it, though really quite a different. word. The caracal is an animal, but caracul, like the nearly synonymous term, as- trakhan, is the name of a place--Kara Kul—i. e, the Black lake, near Bok- bara, which has long been' celebrated for its output of furs. The earllest offictals it is believed that the doctor ; Feference I can find to it in Bnglish i3 was the victim of a man who sought vengeance for some real or fancied wrong. That it was not the act of a burglar, as was first believed, appears to be borne out by the fact that not a single article was taken from the house, although hundreds of dollars’ worth of jewelry and silverware were within easy reach. This also is be- lleved to be borne out by the stories which have been told the coroner by both Dr. Townsend and his wife. Mrs. Townsend witnessed the shooting. The coroner has declined to make known any of the information ob- tained from Dr. Townsend and his wife. He declares that to do so would tend to defeat the ends of Jjustice. From this statement it is inférred that the identity of the assailant is at least suspected and that the officials hope to make an early arrest in con- nection with the case. The police were unable to find any trace of the man who fired the shot. All the doors and windows were se- curely locked and no marks of any kind had been left by the fugitive. Despite these conditions, however, the coroner appears to be satisfied that the man will soon be apprehended. HELD RESCUERS AT BAY. Negro Fires House and Burns Woman to Death. Mobile, Ala., Jan. 28.—At Soria City Willlam Smith, colored, of Scranton, Miss., burned to death “Pinkey” Tigg, with whom he formerly lived. The ‘woman is said to have come here from Bcranton to get rid of Smith, who fol- lowed her. Neighbors were excited by piteous cries for help and, rushing to the woman’s home, they found the building in flames but were prevented from rescuing her by Smith, who stood guard in the doorway until the walls began to totter. The dead woman is thought to have been tied to & chair, as she continued to scream. for help until dead. When the officers arrived Smith said he had been sleeping and awoke to find the house ablaze. He ‘was arrested. Two Brothers Drowned. Terre Haute, Ind, Jan. 28.—Charles and James Harrison, brothers, aged twenty and twenty-one years, were drowned while skating. The bodies have been recovered.

Living In the Electrio Light. ‘Writing to a friend In the country, a New York merchant says: “I live in the electric light. I leave my home at 7 o’clock, after’dressing and taking my breakfast by electric light. Then I go to the subway, one block distant, and ride to within a block of my office. There I work all day by electric light and go home again by the subway and spend the evening in the glare of the incandescent lamp. The weather conditions make no difference, because my flat and my office belong to the semidark kind. Sometimes I wonder what I would do without electric light, and sometimes I ask myself when I yearn for a little sunlight, Is the new light really a blessing?’—New York Tribune, John Stuart Mill, The genius of this great Englishman was: such that before he was twenty he was recognized as the champlon and future leader of a powerful school of philosophy and politics. John Stu- art Mill is sald to have studied Greek at the age of three and at fourteen had begun loglc and political economy. The writings and doctrines . of this master mind were and are still read and preached not only In this country, but throughout the world. John Stuart Mill stands out prominently among nh:eteenth century thinkers.—London Hardened. “Listen to this, Marla,” said Mr. Stubb as he unfolded his sclentific pa- per. “This article states that In some of the old Roman prisons that have been unearthed they found the petri- fled remains of the prisoners.” “Gra- clous, John!” replied Mrs. Stubb, with a smile. “I suppose you would call them hardened ecriminals.” — Chicago News.

Thaw loon: oné/ side-and Mrs. Willlam Thaw and the-€ountess of Yarmouth, mother an@afstér respectively of Harry K. “|*Thai?, on the other, continued to be ) ‘#frculated during the day despite a denial by Thaw’s counsel that any such differences existed. The report- ed. differences are alleged to have arisen over the continued presence in the courtroom of Miss McKenzie, the former chorus girl, who invariably ac- companied Mrs. Evelyn Thaw and sits by her dur!ng the session of the court. Miss McKenzle is sald to be the younger Mrs. Thaw's constant com- panion since Harry Thaw shot Stan- ford White. It was reported that Delphin M. Delmas, the San Francisco lawyer who came East to defend Thaw, went to the Hotel Lorraine, where the rela- tives of Harry Thaw are staying, in the hope of reconciling any differ- ences which might have arisen be- tween the women. It was said that BEvelyn Thaw made the first step to placate her mother-in-law and sister- in-law ‘and that Mr. Delmas only con- sented to try to smooth over their misunderstanding on the agreement that Miss McKenzie should discon- tinue her appearance in court. One of the reports in circulation dealing with Thaw's motive for shoot- Ing Stanford White was to the effect that on the night before the shooting Thaw called on White and exacted from him a promise that he would never try to communicate with Evelyn Thaw again. It was also reported that while at dinner in the Cafe Mar- tin four hours before the tragedy Thaw intercepted a note from White asking Mrs. Thaw to meet him. WARNS THE OKLAHOMANS MUST MODIFY PROPOSED CON- STITUTION OR PRESIDENT WILL NOT SIGN IT. ‘Washington, Jan. 28.—The president told some Oklahoma visitors to the ‘White House during the day that un- less the. constitutional convention of Oklahoma modifies the proposed pro- vision relating to railroads and makes it conform to the Constitution of the United States he would not approve it. The president said,.according to Representative Watson of Indiana, who accompanied the callers, that while he could not be supposed to be a friend of the. railroads yet he be lieved the constitution should contain some provision whereby the roads could protect themselves when neces- sity arises. One of the provisions to which it is said the president objects is that pre- venting railroads employing help to protect their property in case of a strike and to guard their trains. The proposed provision regarding railroads has been reported to. the convention by the committee on railroads, but hes not yet been acted on. ATTEMPTED TO ROB HIM. Lumberjack Kills One ‘Wounds Another. Minneapolis, Jan. 28.—Henry Biggs was shot ‘and instantly killed and Michael Murphy was seriously wound- ed by Michael Jans, a lumberjack, whom Biggs and Murphy were fight ing with. The killing was done in the alley in the rear of Gruber & Palmer’s saloon, ‘Washington avenue and First avenue north. Facts concerning the shooting are meager, but it is thought by the po lce that Biggs, Murphy and a third man, whom they have not yet been able to locate, took Jans-into the alley for the purpose of robbing him. They were foiled. in their attempt by Jans, who drew his revolver and wreaked vengeance on his assailants. Jans was arrested by the police and lodged in Central police station pend- ing a thorough investigation of the affray. The police say that Biggs, who was killed, and Murphy, the injured man, ‘were both members of the notorious Western avenue gang, which has caused the-police much trouble. Both have been:arrested many times for intoxication, but had - never been charged by the police with serious crime. Man and THEATER OWNERB PROTEST.

The presentation last Tuesday in New York at a benefit performance for Director Conried was the sensa- tion of the opera season in New York and excited a great amount of com- ment and criticism, mostly directed at:{: the character-of the text of the opera, “the dance of the Seven Veils” per- formed by Salome before Herod and the kissing of the lips of the severed |: d of John the Baptist by Salome, e&e il ay PRESIDENT ORDERS.

Dr. Henry Martyn Fleld, the well known clergyman and author and for forty-four years editor of the Evan- gelist of New York, died at his home here after an illness of several weeks.

GASES WILL 60 TO TRIAL COURT UPHOLDS INDICTMENTS AGAINST REBATERS AT MINNEAPOLIS. Minneapolis, Jan. 28.—Judge Morris of the United States district court has handed down his order on the demur- rers interposed by the defendants to the indictments found in‘thé rebate cases In this city and argued before Judge Morris and Judge Lochren on Dec. 13 and 14 last. The order in all things sustains the position of the United States, over- ruling the demurrers, finding that the indictments are good and that section 10 of the Hepburn law does not repeal section 1 of the Elkins law, under which latter law the indictments were found. Judge Lochren does not agree in the views or the conclusions arrived at by Judge Morris, but he does not file a dissenting opinion because he was sitting only in an advisory capacity and the law does not provide for more than one judge sitting in a hearing of the character of this hearing on these demurrers. The title of the case in which Judge ‘Morris now makes his order is: The United States against the Great Northern . Railway. company, the “Omaha” road, the Wisconsin Central road, the Minneapolis and St. Louils road, the Ames-Brooks company - of Duluth, the Duluth and Superior Mill- ing company, Devereaux & Co. of Min- neapolis and. the McCaull-Dinsmore company of Minneapolis.

Chicago, Jan. 28.—Major General Greely, commander of the Northern division of the United States army, one of the founders and the first vice president of the National Order of Sons of the American Revolution, ad- dressed the Chicago society of Sons of the Revolution at its quarterly meeting. After addressing his hearers as “captains of industry” he declared that commercialism today is causing % degeneracy of the spirit of Inde- pendence fostered by their forefathers. “There has been a -change in the " 'he said. “You captains of industry are in the posi- tion to know that best of all.’ The spirit of independence on which our forefathers founded this great nation is degenerating. It is most apparent in the absence of individual liberty of men. Men have come to feel that they are not expected to ‘speak out what they think. There is a tendency not to tell the truth on many impor- tant subjects because of the fear of conflicting with the interests of em- ployers. “There are better and higher alms than those of commercialism. Keep alive the flame of liberty of speech, the individuality and the ideals: of morality and character of the men ‘who made our nation. “We wonder how our grandfathers without any of the modern inventions could have lived lives so nmarrow. It was because they had ideals far su- perior to the materialistic spirit of this age.” OIL FOR LOCOMOTIVES. Northwestern Road Orders Its Use on Western Divislon. Lander, Wyo., Jan. 28.—The North- western railroad has concluded - the experiments which it has been carry- ing on for the past three months with oil'burning locomotives on its West- ern division and orders have been is- sued to prepare all locomotives in Wyoming for the use of ofl for tuel instead of coal.

CAUCUS OF MEMBERS IS PROPOSED IN SPITE OF NUMEROUS SIGNA: TURES STANDPATTERS OP- POSE MOVEMENT. ‘Washington, Jan. 28—A new effort has been started to bring about a cau- cus of Republican members of the house to consider the propriety of an extra session of the next congress to deal with the question of tarift re- vision. Representatives Cooper of Wiscon- sin and Steenerson of Minnesota have been circulating. petitions for a caucus and have disclosed the fact that there is a strong tariff revision sentiment in the Middle West. Altogether six petitions are in circulation. Mr. Cooper obtained the signatures of all the ten Republican members of the Wisconsin delegation except Babcock and Minor. Representative Butler Ames of Bos- ton, a close friend of President Roose- velt, has attempted to develop the sentiment of the house by appealing to members of different state congres- slonal delegations. It is under his general supervision that the petitions now are being circulated. The signatures of only fifty Repub- lican congressmen are necessary to call a caucus and such progress has been made that the revisionists have taken on a spurt ‘of real enthusiasm. The standpatters will fight and de- clare theéy can defeat the tariff re- visionists in caucus if & caucus be called for. HOLD ROCKEFELLER'S WIG. Customs Officlals Declare Value Given Is Too Low. Cleveland, Jan. 28.—John D. Rocke- feller will not be allowed to wear his new French wig until he pays full duty on it. It is being held by the revenue officers here -because its value is given as $1, while the offictals insist it is worth $75. Mr. Rockefeller ordered the wig when he.was in Paris last summer. It was billed in December and the statement of its maker says it is worth 5 francs, or about $1. ‘When the wig arrived here a clerk in the customs office examined it. He admired the soft gray locks. “Fine piece of work,” he said. Then he looked at the bill. *“That wig’s worth more than a dol- lar,” he declared.- The clerk showed the wig to the proprietor. of a Euclid avenue halr dressing establishment. “What's. such’'a wig worth?” he asked. “Abvout $75,” was the reply. : The: decision’ was reached that Rockefeller should not- have his wig until he paid duty on a price nearer its value. 3 GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER. Verdict of Jury in Quirk Case at Min- neapolis. 3 Minneapolls, = Jan. 28.—John " P. Quirk, on trial for the murder of Will- iam - A. Dowell, has been declared guilty of manslaughter in the first de- gree and recommended to the mercy of the court. The jury was out twenty- nine hours.
