B A —— { Aged Woman Suffocated. Hill City, S. D, April 16.—Suffo- cated by smoke while trying to reach the Kkitchen door, which she had locked, Mrs. Mary Casler, aged eighty- five years, fell senseless into the arms of the men who forced open the door and died almost immediately. The flames originated in the front room of the little cabin where she lived alone, but they were not sufficient to have caused her death. Big Strike Threatened. Philadelphia, April 16.—Following the vote of 5,000 union carpenters in this clty to go on strike for higher wages on May 1 the 500 union painters have also voted to enforce thelr de- mands for an increase of 1 cent an hour. The plumbers, electricians and lathers are also expected to adopt strike resolutions. Steamer Fast in the Ice.

With the first few drops came a voice from the erowd, “Put on your hat, Mr. Gladstone,” *“No,” blandly responded the veteran; ‘“some prefer their hats on; I prefer mine off.” As the rain fell more heavily Mrs. Gladstone step- ped behind her husband and held an umbrella over his bare head. He way over eighty at the time. Mr. Glad- stone went fluently on, expounding the merits of rabbit farming, but after a time even he noticed the rain and the umbrella. Turning to Mrs. Gladstone, be sald, “I will put my own up, my dear,” and he did so. Again the elo- quent voice galloped on, while the rain became heavier and heavier. Present- 1y Mrs. Gladstone threw a light mackin- tosh over her husband's shoulders. The moment he felt it he turned quick- ly round and with some asperity said, “I won't have it.” He shrugged his shoulders, the mackintosh fell, and Mrs. Gladstone stepped back. For five minutes more In a deluge Mr. Glad- stone went on; then he stopped, and we all fled.—Manchester Guardian, ‘The Onion Eater. “Most of us,” said a man who eats plenty of onlons, “eat too much meat and grease and butter and bread and not enough vegetables, and the conse- quence is our systems get clogged up with grease and starch, our livers get out of order and we grumble at our wives, and scold our children, and fuss ‘when the baby cries, and quarrel with the street car conductors, and get into rows at the office and lose our jobs, not because we are naturally sulky or quarrelsome, but because we are bil- fous. Why are we bilious? Because we don't eat onlons. You never saw a dyspeptic man eating onions. He thinks they are poifson, but, in fact, they are the medicine that he most needs. Whenever you see an onlon eater you see a whole souled, open hearted, jolly good fellow, who knows what he ought to eat to keep him good humored. Talk about the staff of life, why, bread is only a crutch. There is more nourishment in an onion than there Is in a roll. The onion lovers keep the world moving, to say nothing of providing it with much of its fun.” —8t. Louis Globe-Democrat. Afghan Justice. A Yorkshire engineer acted in Af- ghanistan for many years as director of the arsenal to Abdur Rahman. On one occaslon the engineer was fired at by some fanatlc in a bazaar and laid a complaint before the ameer. His highness seemed to make light of the matter, observing: “I should not hoth- er about it. You will find it will be all right.” The engineer was by no means satisfled, but, remembering the people with whom he was, resolved to say no more. A week or so later he was in- vited to accompany the ameer on a ride. When outside the town they passed gibbet after gibbet, each occu- pled. The Englishman at length broke silence by suggesting, “Your highness seems to have been busy of late.” The reply was characteristic: “Oh, no. That Is your little lot” It was afterward learned that the ameer had executed every male member of the family of the assallant upon whom he could lay hands.”--London Globe. Lost and Won at Shiloh. Many an amusing incident of army life is given in Lew Wallace's autobi- ography. For example, he writes thus of a tented “paradise” which was lost and won at the battle of Shiloh: “With- in our lines there was a drinking tent on which was written ‘Paradise’ It was taken by the Confederates in the first day's fight, and the victors wrote beneath its name ‘Lost’ By Beaure- gard’s order all camp furniture was left intact, as he expected to possess the whole fleld in the morrow's strug- gle. The Unlon army recovered their ground by the second day’s battle, the Dleasure tent was retaken and to the two names was added the word ‘Re- galned. ” FLOODS IN MONTANA Damage and Loss of Life by the Overflow of Milk River. RAILROAD TRAFFIC DELAYED Live Stock Interests Suffer Heavily, Hundreds of Head of Cattle Perish- ing in the Bottom Lands—Ranchers Flee to Higher Ground. Great Falls, Mont.,, April 16.—Ad- vices from the north state that Glas- gow is completely cut off from the outside by the flood of the Milk river except by boat. Practically every sldewalk in town has been washed away and a number of houses located in bottom lands have floated away with the waters. Stock iInterests will suffer severely in the vicinity of Glasgow, Malta and Culberson, hundreds of head of cattle perishing in the bottom lands. Great Northern passenger trains are being pushed through three feet of water in some localities. Freight traffic is prac- tically at a standstill and it is only with the greatest effort that the com- pany is able tn move its passenger trains. Meager advices from the outlying sections tell of many ranch families being compelled to abandon their homes and seek safety on higher ground. There are also unconfirmed reports of loss of life. The crest of the flood is believed to have passed. WILL BE LANDED IN MEXICO President Bonilla on Board United States Gunboat. ‘Washington, April 16.—Dispatches were received at the navy department during the day from Commander Doyle, the senior naval officer in Pa- cific waters fn the vicinity of Central America, saying that the gunboat Princeton left Amapala on Saturday with President Bonilla of Honduras aboard. It was stated that the Prince- ton i3 proceeding to Acapulco, Mex., and that President Bonilla would be left at Salina Cruz, Mex. His depar- ture is in compliance with an agree- ment entered into between President Zelaya of Nicaragua and President Figuera of Salvador that the Hon- duran president, who has been de- feated in his war with Nicaragua, shall quit Central America. Whether he is to make his home in Mexico is not stated. The terms of surrender to the Niec- araguan forces of the Honduran port of Amapala are being carried out peacefully, according to messages from bhoth Commander Doyle and Philip Brown, secretary to the Guate- malan legation. The Salvadorean troops at Amapala were transported to La Union by the Princeton. WHOLLY OF NATIVES. Project for Standing Army in Cuba of 12,000 Men. ‘Washington, April 16.—The general staff has transmitted to Governor Ma- goon a complete project for the crea- tion and maintenance of a standing army for Cuba, composed entirely of native troops and numbering about 12,000 men. The adoption of this project involves the abandonment of the original plan for the increase of the Cuban rural guard. The original plan was never highly regarded by the general staff, but its details were worked out in compliance with a re- quest emanating from the Cubans themselves and transmitted by Gov- ernor Magoon. Publication of the plan aroused opposition parties in Cuba, the principal objection being that the increase of the rural guard would result in the disappearance ot the local police forces and the loss by the municipalities of all police con- trol. LABOR FEUDS AT LODZ. One Hundred Killed or Wounded in Four Weeks. Lodz, Russian Poland, April 16.— During the last four weeks over 100 workmen have been killed or wound- ed here as the result of labor feuds. The government has failed to protect those who are willing to work and the latter have taken matters into thelr own hands and are violently expelling the terroristic, anarchistic and so- clalistic agitators, whom they hold re- sponsible for the ‘ruln of the indus- tries of Lodz. As the Jews form over 80 per cent of the socialists there is some aprrehension that the incensed workmen may engage in an anti- Semitic outbreak. Cousin of President Dead. Washington, April 16.—The state department ha recelved a dispatch announcing the leath of George W. Roosevelt, a cousin of President Roose- velt, at Brussels, where he was consul general. He died at midnight, but the cauvse of death is not given. He was born In 1844 and served with distinc- tion in the Civil war. Nebraska Town Burning.

Rome, April 16.—Pope Pius X. held a secret consistory In the Vatican and created seven new cardinals, as fol- lows: Mgr. Cavallari, patriarch of Venice; Mgr. Rinaldini, papal nuncio to Spain; Mgr. Lorenzelli, ex-papal nuncio at Paris; Mgr. Lualdi, arch- bishop of Palermo; Mgr. Mexcier, arch- bishop of Malines; Mgr. Maff, arch- bishop of Pisa; Mgr. Aguirrey y Gar- cia, bishop of Burgos, Spain. The ceremony took place in the hall which takes its name from the con- sistory and was performed with the usual gorgeousness and impressive pomp. After .the cardinals had paid their homage every one left the hall except the pope and the sacred col- lege. Then the pope, from the throne, addressed a simple prayer and deliv- ered a short allocution. The pontiff dealt especially with the struggle in France, which, he sald, was particularly painful to him, as he loved “that most noble nation, whose sorrows and joys 1 consider as my own Instead of being those of her French rulers, who, after arbitrarily denouncing the concordat, violently despoiling the church and failing to recognize the ancient and true glory of the country, tried to uproot the re- mains of religion by committing all kinds of excesses, even those most repugnant to French politeness, violat- ing every public and private law and custom. In so doing they calumniated the episcopacy and clergy, tried to sep- arate them from the Holy See and pur- posely utilized the national institu- tlons to further their anti-religious war, so as to be able to accuse the Holy See of being in opposition to French popular institutions, which in reality were always recognized and respected.” LYNCHERS FIRED ON. Three White Men Wounded, One Per- haps Fatally. New Orleans, April 16.—While a score or more of white men were tak- ing a negro charged with criminal as- sault on a white woman from the jail at Bunkle, La., with the intention of Iynching him they were fired on-by a crowd of negroes who had hidden near the jall for the purpose of either res- cuing or defending. the negro pris- oner. Three white men were wound- ed and one of them will probably die. After the shooting the negroes got away, carrylng the negro prisoner with them. A posse is now searching for them. The crime which led up to the shooting was an assault by a ne- gro on a Mrs. Johnson of Hasville, a town near Bunkie. IN THE INTEREST OF PEACE National Arbitration Congress in Ses- sion at New York.

Stead of London, Colonel Sir Robert Cranston and Sir Robert S. Ball. POLITICS DISCUSSED. Brother of Secretary Taft Calls on the President. Washington, April 16—H. W. Taft, brother of Secretary Taft, spent con- siderable time with President Roose- velt and politics formed a feature of their discussion. Mr. Taft was not prepared to say what the secretary would do regarding the political cam- paign in Ohio—whether or not the lat- ter would visit the state and partici- pate in the contest with Senator For- aker and give up his proposed trip to the Philippines. Mr. Taft said his brother, because of his absence in the ‘West Indies, had not been kept fully informed of what had transpired po- litically in Ohio, as he had been en- gaged in other work in which he was very much interested. Mr. Taft declined to discuss the question of the Republican nomina- tion for the presidency or his brother’s relations to it. DIED AS SHE HAD WISHED Young Teacher From Dakota Suicides “Under the Pines.” Duluth, April 16.—“When T die I want to die under these pines,” was the remark made three vears ago at Aurora, this state, by a young Dakota schoolteacher and she had her wish. The unknown woman who committed suicide there last week has been identified as the young schoolteacher who visited there three years ago, but her name Is being kept from the pub- lic. She traveled all the way from Dakota to Aurora, got off the train at the little station and, walking out to the pine trees in question, drank poi- son. She left a letter saying she had quarreled with her hushand, but this was a bling, as she was not married. SPLIT MARRIAGE FEES. Cabbies and Certain Youngstown (0.) Ministers in Combine. .Youngstown, O., April 16.—A com- bination among cab drivers and min- isters to monopolize the business of marrying eloping couples who visit this city was revealed durlng the trial of Edward Cramer, a hackman, charged with having importuned a couple to go with him to the probate court and later to a minister’s house. “The ministers usually divide their fees with wus,” said the prisoner. “When we bring couples to their homes for marriage ceremonies they, ‘split’ with us.” Admiral Nebogatoff In Prison. St. Petersburg, April 16.—Rear Ad- miral Nebogatoff, whose surrender of the Russlan Pacific squadron at the battle of the Sea of Japan led to his trial by courtmartial and sentence to death, but whose sentence was com- muted to ten years’ imprisonment in a fortress, has begun to serve his » term In the fortjess of St. Peter and St. Paul. HEAVY SHOCK OCCURS Scismographs Register an Earth- quake of Great Severity. DURATION OVER TWO HOURS New York State Geofon!t! at Albany Estimates That the Disturbance Took Place at a Distance of Prob- ably Three Thousand Miles. Washington, April 16.—According to a special bulletin issued by the Weather bureau a distant earthquake of great intensity was recorded by the weather bureau seismograph com- mencing at 1:14 a. m. The greatest movement of the earth at Washington occurred In an east and west direc- tlon and lasted from 1:26 to 1:41, while the principal portion of the north-south movement lasted only un- til 1:33 a. m. The total duration of the earthquake was over two hours. These records seem to indicate an unusually violent earthquake at a dis- tance, comparable in intensity with those which recently occurred at Val- paraiso and Kingston. Albany, N. Y., April 16.—The strong- est and longest earthquake shock recorded on the seismograph at the state museum here since the instru- ment was installed began at 1:14 a. m. and continued more than two hours. The record is much more pronounced than that made by the San Francisco earthquake of last year. The max- imum vibration was so severe as to swing the pendulum clear off of the recording cylinder. Assistant State Geologist David H. Newland said: “The disturbance must have been very severe indeed. It appears to have been some 3,000 miles away, to the southwest or southeast.” EARTHQUAKE IN MEXICO. Number of Persons Hurt and Consid- erable Damage Done. City of Mexico, April 16.—This city was roughly handled by an earth- quaie, which lasted four and a half wminutes. The earth rocked in a long, swinging motion, terrifying the in- habitants and doing considerable dam- age. Clocks in this city stopped at 11:34 (Mexican time), which is thirty-six minutes slower than American time, and the perceptible motion of the earth ceased at 11:38%. Telegraph wires were put out of commission and for a short time the city was in darkness owing to the failure of the electric lights. One wall of the Associated Press building was cracked from floor to ceiling. The asphalt on a paved corner on Cinco de Mayo street, one of the prin- clpal streets in the city, was cracked open for a distance of ten yards. The shock is pronounced the heav- iest here in years. A wall on San Santiago street col- lapsed, killing a number of horses and wounding five men. {HAW'S PECULIAR ACTION Jharge of Case Taken From Delmas at Critical Period of Trial. New York, April 16.—Interest in the case of Harry K. Thaw now cen- ters about the probable changes he will make in his staff of lawyers. Del- phin M. Delmas, who led the fight at the recent trial, has, it is stated, sev- ered his conncction with the case. n this connection a story of the remark- eble proceeding of Thaw at a critical period of his trial is published here. The story recites that when the trial ‘was resumed after the report of the lunacy commission Mr. Delmas called Dr. Hamilton to the stand to have him testify as to Thaw's mental condition ‘when the murder was committed. He was just about to question him when he recelved a note from Thaw which read: “You are no longer in charge of my case.” Delmas, surprised, secured the court’s permission to confer with his client, the story states, and when he asked Thaw what the note meant Thaw is said to have replied: “It means just what it says. You are not going to make those men tes- tify that T am insane. Iam sane and you know it. You are no longer in charge of my case.” Delmas attempted to reason with Thaw, but he was immovable and thereupon announced that the defend- ant rested his case and Dr. Hamilton was excused without testifying. Daniel O'Reilly makes the announce- ment that he is now counsel of record for Thaw and will be in active charge of the case hereafter. Mr. O'Rellly iIs authority for the statement that he is the only one of the five lawyers Thaw has re-engaged, but he says that Thaw is fond of Lawyer Peabody and that he will be retained. Delmas and Gleason, according to Mr. O'Reilly, are out for good. CONFERENCES SECRET. Premiers of British Colonies Meet in London. London, April 16.—The fourth con- ference between the premiers of Great Britain’s self-governing colonies and the British colonial secretary was be- gun during the morning at the colo- nial office under the presidency of the Earl of Elgin, secretary of state for the colonies. Reporters are not ad- mitted to the conference, so the public will have to be content with censored official summaries of each day’s pro- ceedings until a blue book on the con- ference is issued. The premiers pres- ent included Dr. Jameson, Cape Col- ony; General Louis Botha, the Trans- vaal; Alfred Deakin, Australia; Sir Joseph G. Ward, New Zealand; Fred- erick R. Moore, Natal, and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Canada. Premier Sir Robert Bond of Newfoundland will arrive in the middle of the week. The premiers ‘were accompanied by their advisers.

Premier Campbell-Bannerman open- [ week and they are expected to last a Jects for discusslon, such as preferen- tlal trade between the colonles and Great Britain and among the colonies; a project providing for a permanent council; imperial . defense schemes and emlgration, with minor questions like penny postage, naturalization and patent laws. The premier earnestly expressed the hope that the delibera- tions would have useful results. Each of the colonlal premiers made a briet reply, after which the conferees dis- cussed the procedure and adjourned. Meetings will be held three times a month. POSTAL DUTY PARAMOUNT Men In Service Should Not Belong to Militia. ‘Washington, April 16.—That the duty to the government of postoffice clerks and carriers who are members of militia companies is paramount to that of their military service, except 8t critical times, i3 the decision of First Assistant Postmaster General Hitchcock regarding the employes of the postoffice at Lorain, O., on strike duty with Company B of the Ohio national guard. The postmaster ac- cordingly has been notified to have Captain A. F. Gove and Sergeant Phin- ney either return to work immediately or resign their positions. An investigation into affairs at Lo- rain led the department to the con- clusion that no such crisis exists there as to warrant the granting of leave of absence to those men of the postoffice doing militia duty. Mr. Hitcheock said that it repeatedly had been decided by the law officers of the government that the prompt distribu- tion and delivery of mail cannot be interfered with for any reason what- scever. The postoffice department, it wag learned, maintains that none of its employes should belong to the na- tional guard for this reason and has discouraged the practice, but where it is done it is with the specific under- standing that the postal service shall not be crippled in consequence there- of. BAD TREATMENT FEARED China Opposes Immigration to the Canal Zone. ‘Washington, April 16.—The emigra- tion of Chinese coolies from their own country to Panama and Colombia as laborers is not desired by the Chinese government, according to malil advices recelved here. City Magistrate Wang at Shanghai, under the instruction of the viceroy of Nanking, has issued a proclamation forbidding natives from going to Panama or Colombia because these countries have no treaty with China. It is believed by officials here that the action taken in China to discour- age coolies from going to the isthmus is the result of advices from Chinese merchants on the isthmus and in the United States that the coolies would not be well treated as canal laborers. Protest Against Woman Justlice. Springfield, Til,, April 16.—A protest has been made to Governor Deneen against issuing a commission to Mrs. Catherine - Waugh ' McCullough, who was elected Jjustice of the peace in Evanston, by W. 8. Moore, the de- feated candidate for the office. ‘The ground for the ‘protest was that the constitution of Illinois forbids a wo- man holding the office of justice of the peace. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS.

SEVERAL MOVES DECIDED ON Ro Legal Technicality Is to Be Over- looked by Its Attorneys and the Case WIll Be Kept in the Courts as Long as Possible. Chicago, April 16.—Despite over- whelming proof of its violation of the Elkins law, as shown by the verdict of gullty returned against it la .2 United States district court Saturday night, the Standard Oil company has by no means given up. No legal tech- nicality s to be overlooked by its at- torneys and the case will be kept in the courts as long as possible. Within a few days Judge Landis will be asked to fix the time when he can hear arguments on a motion for a new trial, notice of which was served ou the court immediately after the jury had returned its verdict. If this motion is overruled the defense will present a motion in arrest of judg- ment. On this question District Attorney Sims and his special assistant, James H. Wilkerson, will be called upon to reply. The argument of the defense will be that, in accepting the 6-cent rate, the Standard Oil company com- titted only one violation of the El- kins act and that the contention of the government that each car of oil shipped constituted an additional of- fense is not good. To this the government will reply that, as only one offense can be pun- ished by a fine of no more than $20,000 and that the amount derived by the Standard Oil company in the counts charged in the indictment was $223,- 000, the fine is by no means commen- surate with the crime. Bhould Judge Landis sustain this motion in arrest of judgment the de- fendant company undoubtedly would pay the fine and prepare for a similar line of battle in the seven remaining indictments. If the motion is denied the case will be appealed either to the court of appeals or to the United States supreme court. APPEAL IS DISMISSED. 8enator Patterson Must Pay $1,000 Fine for Coriempt. ‘Washington, April 16.—The supreme court of the United States has dis- missed the writ of error in the case of former United States Senator Thomas M. Patterson of Colorado, ii. which the senator was fined $1,000 by the Colorado supreme court on the charge of contempt. The action has the practical effect of afirming the decislon of the Colorado courts. The opinion in the case was delivered by Justice Holmes, who said in effect that the court was without jurisdiction. Justice Harlan delivered a dissenting opinion. Justice Brewer also dissent- ed from the decision, holding that the court was not without jurisdiction. The proceedings against Senator Fatterson grew out of the Colorado supreme court’s decision.’ in election cases following the acrimo. ‘ous state campaign of 1904. The senator is the principal owner of the Denver Times and the Rocky Mountain News, both Denver daily papers, and the contempt proceedings was on account of stric- tures on those decisions published in the two papers, in which the charge was inferred to have been made that the court was subservient to the cor- poration interests of the state. BANDIT MAKES BIG HAUL Holds Up Montana Stage and Gets Away With $28,000. Great Falls, Mont., April 16.—The stage running between Malta and Zortman was held up by a lone ban- dit and a sum estimated at about $28,000 is said to have been secured. The stage had a consignment of money to pay the wages of the miners at the Zortman mines. Some member of “Kid” Curry’s gang of train robbers and horse thieves is suspected of the holdup. The robber apparently has five or six hours’ start of the posse, mounted upon the fastest horses to be hac which left Malta immediately upon receipt of word of the holdup. The location is in a particularly lonely spot in the mountains, afford- ing every opportunity for the shelter and escape of the bandit. One man commanding the trall there could almost hold a half dozen men at bay for hours. JAMES H. ECKELS DEAD. Former Comptroller of Currency Ex- pires Suddenly. Chicago, April 16.—James H.
