There are picturesque and romantic waiks and drives hereabouts without number, andwhat with bay rides and parties on horseback together with tennis tournaments and bowling tournaments and an occasional german thrown into the bargain, fime hangs anything but heavy in this mountainous region. Lovers of nature and the besutiful never grow tired feasting their eyes on these grand old moun- tains, so picturesque, so lofty—monuments for centuries.

A dispatch from Genoa, received yesterday in London, states that an Englishman, name unknown, called at the office of money changer, Signor Ghisoli, and asked him to change a $5,000 Bank of England note. Signor Ghisolt, fearing that the note might form part of a recent Bank of England robbery to the extent of $1,250,000, took down a listof the number of stolen notes in order to compare it When he did this the Englishman walked out and disappeared, leav- with that of the visitor. ing the note behind him. ‘The Genoese police are looking for him and have already notified the police authorities in London. his is the first public information that such a robbery Scotland Yard officials, ered, either profe: bery or decline to commit themselves.

Prominent Kanch Owners are Anxious to Have the Subject Thoroughly Tested. The rain-making experiment inaugurated by the government and which has been operat- ing on the Morris ranch, twenty-five miles from Midland, Texas, is to be pushed to a final and thorough test regardless of what opera- tions or results of the Dyrenforth party have been. K. J. Kliburg of Corpus Christi, Texas, and State Senator Collinsof San Diego, Tex.,are in Midland investigating to ascertain what the Dyrenforth party has done. A reporter called upon them and the following is their statement in substanee: This thing must not be dropped now, as it is too important. We are here to in- Yestigate and to learn and not to make state- ments. We realize that the government appropriation for this purpose was small and probably not enough to carry it very fer. We shall wait till after this party make their final test at El Paso and if it is not then further demonstrated as an abso- lute fact, we propose, as individuals, backed by our own counties and many very strong financial interests, to make a similar and con- elusive test. We realize that itis necessary to remove every doubt before the government can be expected to lend any further assistance and that is what the individuals we represent propose doing. We shall go direct to Austin and shall interview Gov. Hogg and seek to further enlist his influence in the furtherance of this undertaking, with which he is already deeply interested and favorably impresse j The gentlemen represent the great King estate and other of the most extensive ranche and land-owning concerns in the state. ‘The world May nowexpect this great theory proved a sugeese or @ failure beyond reasonable doubt. ee — Said to Be a Case of Carus. An extraordinary case has been developed at White Hall, Mich., near Muskegon. George Beard, a young man aged twenty-one, has been confined to his bed for the past three months, during seven weeks of which time he has been in an unconscious condition. He seems to have lost every sense save that of feeling. When he is todched on the arm witha slight downward pressure he will raise his arm. When an attempt is made to move his head to the right he will turn it to the left. In order to feed the patient four teeth had to be Knocked out, as it was impossible to open his wouti either to insert food or to extract the teeth. ‘Through this opening he receives bis liquid nourishment. The attending physician pronounces it a case of carus. ——— Russian Demands Granted. ‘The London Stawlard’s Constantinople cor- respondent says: “fhe sultan has yielded to all Russia’s demands respecting the Darda- which henceforth will be opened to Russian vessels when closed to others.

There Wag nothing of an unusual character about the run from New York except that it terminated in a drenching shower. Lieut. Parker came over from the presidential cottage and met the train of two cars at the “Y,” just outside the Sea Breeze station. Upon arriving at the Shoreham station President Harrison and How- ard Cole locked arms and wended their way to the cottage under the friendly shelter of a good-sized umbrella, followed by George Boyd, Secretary Halford and Lieut. Parker. At the cottage there was a warm reception. Mr. Halford remained only long enough at the residential cottage to exchange greetings with irs. Harrison and the other ladies. As con- siderable business has accumulated during the President's absence, Mr. Halford will find it necessary to do some pretty hard work to catch up, it is stated, Tt was given out at the Saturday afternoon that sirous of obtainin residential cottage r.

The President expresses himself as being highly pleased with his trip, and especially did ne enjoy the demonstration at Proctor, Vt, where 10,000 Chinese lanterns on tho mountain sides illuminated the valley in which is situated the beautiful town. a A HUGE TIDAL WAVE. A Singular and Fatal Mishap to an Atlan- tle Liner. A curious accident befel the Cunard liner Etruria on her voyage from Liverpool to New York, which port she reached Saturday even- ing. While steaming through a moderately smooth sea a tremendous wave suddeniy swept over the bow and hurled nine of the crew 50 violently against the deck and its incumbrances that one died « few hours afterward and several of the others ere so badly maimed that they may succumb to their injuries. The accident occurred Tuesday morning, when the vessel was two days out from Liver- pool. Whitecaps from a brisk westerly wind were dashing against the Etruria’ssides, but the waves were £0 small that the big ship steamed through them with alevel keel. Shortly aft daybreak the wind hauled a few points to jorthward, and Chief Ofticer Carbine, who was charge of the deck, gave the order toshift over the jib sleet, fs the sai! had begun to flap with the change of the wind. In obedience to the order the watch tumbled upon the forecastle and began to shift over the Rolling from the westward came a tremen- dous green-capped wave. The light was too dim for the seamen to mark its approach and the first intimation they had of its proximity was the sudden headlong plunge of the vessel as the bows sank into the abyss which precedes waves of tidal origin. Tefore the astonished seamen could glance at the wall of water tow- ering above them it broke like a Niagara upon the decks. The men were caught in the swirl and dashed violently against the rails and stanchions. The vessel rose to the surge, which, rolling aft, enused the engines to race as the propellers scurried around in the air. As soon as the ex- citement had abated an investigation of the damage was made. One of the men was so badly injured that he died four hours after the accident. Four other men were badly injured and five others were bruised considerably. ‘The Etruria had on board 747 persons, of whom 517 were saloon passengers. A subscrip- tion for the benefit or the wounded men was soon started and £300 was obtained. The Etru- ria sustained no damage whatever. Burglars Use Chloroform. Three men entered the residence of Dr. Hel- mer, in Germantown, Pa., yesterday morning and chloroformed the inmates and ransacked the house. The only persons in the house at the time were Mr. and Mrs. Henry He!mer and son of Susquehanna, and Mre. Willard Charles, who boards with the Helmers. About 2u.m., ne near as could be judged, Mrs. Helmer was awekened by some one moving about the room. On opening her eyes she saw three masked men #tanding near the doorway leading into the hall engaged in a whispered conversa- tion. _ Her husband wi sleeping on a matiress ly- ing on the floor near the bed. From the fact | that her hend was swimming, her eyes biurred J and that a strange odor pervaded the room she surmised at once that chloroform had been ap- plied to her nostrils while she slept. wo of the men stole quietly out of the room and left the third on guard. For two hours they ransacked the house in search of a large sum of money which Dr. Helmer had ed about the premises, but they failed to find it. During that time Mrs. Helmer did not dare to move. | Ouee one burglar lifted her head, with- drew the pillow and felt about the head of the bed. He then replaced the pillow and moved her head back to its former position. . see ~ Mrs. Besant and Theosophy. Mrs. Besant, in a farewell address to the members of the secular society in London, which had decided that she should no longer be permitted to speak at its meetings, claimed that she had received since Madame Biavatsky's death the, same messages from unseen teachers that Madame Blavatsky formerly received.

He is still very sick, and his physician was heard to express the opinion that the pugilist’s condition was still critical. Parson Davies thinks that Hall will make no statement. Sse ee Freight Conductors and Brakemen. A dispatch from Indianapolis states that the Lake Erieand Western management promul- gated its new wage schedule yesterday after- noon, which was sent to the various divisicn headquarters at once. The new scale gives the local freight conductors 40 cents additional per trip in districts of three crews, and where two crews run ina district the conductors are to receive an advance of 65 cents-over the old schedule. The brakemen in those classes re- spectively receive 15 and 10 cents more than under the old arrangement.

Coney’ sk Exciting Finish in the Great Futurity Stakes —Other Racing Events. ‘The great futurity stake race was run at Sheepshead Bay on Saturday afternoon and ‘His Highness, the biue-blooded colt owned by D. Gideon, showed in front of the field at the finish, winning the richest stake ever run for in this or any other country. This year the fu- turity was worth $75,000 and heavens knows what it will be worth next year. The legal difficulties in the case of Corrigan’s Huron were still further complicated by that speedy westerner coming in second in the great race. Huron, it will be remembered, had been dis- qualified by the club, but the courts had reinstated him. The club, however, still refused to receive Corrigan's entrance money and ordered the bookmakers to make no bets on Huron. Nevertheless, when the twenty-two blue-blooded racers went to the front for the great race Huron was among the number. and when amid a tremendous cheer from 60,000 voices the horses passed under the wire Huron was a good second to His Highness, with Yorkshire SSelle third and Dagonet fourth.

John Myrick, a farmer from the southwestern part of the county, had rented a piece of wheat land close to Norwich. After cutting and stacking his crop safely he went home. ‘The rented land is a lofig way from his own place and Myrick is therefore unknown to the neighborhood of Norwich, so that when « stranger presented himself under the name of Myrick there was no one to question his title to the wheat. After being in Nor- wich a couple of days the supposed My- rick had his plans perfected. A thresh- ing outfit was cngaged and teamsters to cart the grain to Norwich, the work to be done at night because of a tendency to sun- stroke which prevented his working in the sun alleged by the supposed Myrick. ‘the plans worked to perfection. Before morning the greater part of the wheat had been threshed and delivered to a buyer in Norwich and the money for the grain was safely in the robber's pocket. By teliing the threshiera to be there the next night to finish up the stranger avoided paying for the work already done, but when evenin, came no Myrick appeared, and it was afterward ascertained that the man had left Norwich by un early morning cast-bound train, taking with him the proceeds, about $11,000. eee The Watson Will Sustained. Coanty Judge Tarson at Eau Claie, Wie, hes filed bis decision in the Watson will cave.
