The most curious cemetery is situ- ated 4at Luxor, on the Nike, Here re- pose the mumified bodies of millions of sucred cats. Their remains are sid¢ by side with the bodies of kings «nd emperors in mauseleums. In the centre of Liverpool there is one large roof-garden. It forms the hobby of a lady who has at present in successful cultivation -currants, goose- berries, and a fine show of outdoor ‘flowers, besides exotics in a green- ‘house. The earth was taken up to the ‘tiles by means of a lift, and the gar- den is efficiently drained and free from despoilers.

With all the advantages of an Asiatic population at hand, ar unlimited output and the enterpris= controlled by Englishmen, there is no fear of competition, and a new era of prosperity is well in sight. Sanger circus recently caused 2 little scare in Ramsgate. A horse drawing a covered van of tigers makie a wild dash down the High street and west through the windows of a drapery establishment. ‘The horse was injured and the van wverturned. Two fme tigers sprang ‘out of the van as the folding doors ‘flew: open, and the crowd of sightseers was terrified; but some of the showmen*were soon on the scene, and the tigers were quickly:re- eaptured.

Colmette was collect- ing some serperits’ venom, when one of the reptiles bit. him severely on: the finger. A moment's hesitation would have been fatal, for the poison was a deadly one, whose action is immediate. Fortunately one of Dr. Colmette’s col- leagues at once injected a strong dose of the anti-venomous serum, and tthe worst result so far has been a high fever and a swelling of the hand.2nd wrist. ‘ Among the villagers on the Velga in the Russian province of Samaza a curious sect of women has made its appearance. it was originated by an elderly peasant woman in Soznavo, called the “Blessed Mother.” These women have fled from the villages around into x :remote district, where they live singly in holes dug onz .of une face of the ‘hill. They lead a Hfe of fasting aud prayer, and believe themselves called from the world; which they think is shortly about.ito perish in a general conflagration. The “Blessed Mother” has “‘ten wise vir- gins” as a sert.of bodyguard, and the sect believes that these eleven women are possessed of miraculous power. George Arnold, 82 years of age, who had been missing from the home of bis granddaughter, Mrs. F. J. Warne, Syracuse, N. ¥., «was discovered in a field three miles from the Warne homestead. He was sitting under 2 tree and had nothing to eat but some green leaves ema not a drop of water hhad passed his lips. Although very weak he is expecied to live. The old man had lived im foronto, Ont., up to a short time ago, when his wife died. He frequently said: that he wanted to go nome and kad, been acting in a peculiar manner. One mile from the place where the man was found his wooden leg was discovered. He had nstrapped it amd crawled on his bands and knees oversstone and barbed wire fences. During the funerai»of David Linds- kog in Chicago, a few days ago, what threatened to be a wpanic, in which many would have lost ‘their lives, was prevented by the pronypt,action of the pastor, Herman Lindskog.

Of the 1413 patients whe were treated in time, four died—the percentage being 28-100 of 1 per cent.

FATHER AND TWO SONS LOSE THEIR LIVES IN A MINE AIR SHAFT. KTLUED BY FUMES OF BLACK DAMP WOYS FELL {NTO THE SHAFT “AND THE FATHER ATTEMPTED RESCUE, FOUND VOUKED IN DEATH EMBRACE Two “MEN WHO RECOVERED BYDIES ARE IN A SERIOUS CONDITION, Cornelisville, Pa., Oct. 15 — “Three lives went out in a little air shait, only two feet in diameter and twenty feet deep, but filled with deathty black damp, at the mines of the Juniata Coke company, near Juniataville, yesterday. The dead are John Gilleland, a miner &ged fifty years, and his ‘two sons, James and Winfield, aged Tiand 15 re- ‘spectively: All three bodies were rescued, but in ‘the effort John Nicholson, mine fore- rman, and John Baker, a miine fire boss, were seriously overcome by black- (damp. Near the home of !the Gililelands is a deserted air shaft. Yesterday the two boys were playing around the shaft which is boarded up about two feet from the ground. James climbed to the top, shouting to his brother. Then he leaned over the top. A sudden gust of the death fumes struck him, and with a scream he fell forward into the pit. His brother rushed to ‘the top of the shaft and started down a rickety ladder that years ago served the miners with means of descent. From the home not many saw his boys go down the shaft. Real- izing their danger he rushed to the pit and, regardless of his own safety, Hurried Down the Hot. By this time a numberof other inmates of the house hurried to the shaft. They went to the top and peered in, but only faint grcans were heard. About half- way down the Tittle shaft the body of the father had lodged. His white face quickly and well. Like lightning the news of the tragedy snread over the farms of Dunbar and Franklin town- ships and in a few “hours the whole countryside had flocked to the scene of the deaths. The difficult problem of how to descend the death trap to re- cover the bedies was ‘finally solved by John Nicholson, night foreman, whe rigged up a farmer's Windmill used for cleaning wheat in such a way as to fan pure air into the hole. Nicholson and John Baker who had*for years workeé beside Gilleland, were ‘then lowered inte the shaft with repes around their bodies. Gilleland’s body was soon hoisted to the tep from where it hadé lodged, and at the bottom were found the bodies of the two ‘boys. entwined in a death embrace. After the dead came the rescuers: to the surface, and a& scon as they reached the pure air the terrrible effect of the gas was evident annd both fainted. Late last night physicians said the men were in a seri- ous condition. Gilleland leaves a wife and several children. CROWE ‘OT GAME, Offers to Surrender if the Reward of 850.000 Is Withdrawn Cmaha, Oct. 1.—Chief of Police Don- ahue has received from Patrick Crowe, through a friend of the latter, an offer to surrender himself and stand trial im the courts if the reward of $50,000 hang- ing over his head for the alleged kid- napping of Edward A. Cudahy, Jr., is withdrawn. Chief Donahue did not ac- cept the proposition, but made a coun- ter offer to waive the reward himseif, saying nobody elise could secure it. The chief says Crowe is‘tired of being hunted and is willing to take chanves of a trial if the reward iis withdrawn, but expresses the fear that manufac- tured testimony would convict him if the reward was allowed ‘to stand. He ‘says Crowe is less than ‘five hundred }miles from Omaha, and is-not with his ‘welatives. Edward A. Cudahy, Sr., was asked if the reward for Crowe would ‘oe withdrawn. In reply ‘he said: “Yes: we will do anything to secure Growe.” ANARCHISTS ARRESTED. Believe They Intended to President Campos Salles.

Yr CAME TOO LATE. ‘Order Telling ‘of Cevera at Santingo Wan Two Weeks Late. ‘Washington, Oct. 15.—It was proven ‘beyond question at the court of inquiry Saturday that Schley did mot receive positive «rders from Sampsen to go to Santiago until June 10, and that he had no definite information frem Sampson as ‘to the presence of the Spanish fleet in that harbor until that date, Schley himself had secured this in- formation on May 29, end had been at Santiago two weeks before he received Semyson's positive order. This was the most important develop- ‘ment at the short session of the court of inquiry, which was marked by wrangling and ad feeling from end to end. There was a serious tilt between the attorneys, Capt. Lemly charging Mr. Rayner with making inaccurate statements. Another important fact brought out was that there ‘was a delay of thirty- six hours on ‘the part of Sampson in sending to Scliley what was believed to be reliable information regarding the preseace of the Spaniards in Santiago. Early on the morning of May 20 Samp- son recéived from Capt. Allen, the sig- nal officer, information which Led Sampson to Believe, ; acceraing to the testimony of Lieut. Staunton of the New York, that .the Spaniards were in Santiage. Sampson waited until night to confirm the re- port. ‘The night confirmation was re~ ceived through Capt. Allen, but for un- explained reasons this information was not started to Schley until the evening of May 21. Even Sampron did net com- municate positive information on this point to Schley, but instructed the lat~ ter'to be sure the Spaniards were not in Crenfuegos before leaving for Santiago. ‘Admiral Dewey had a bad day with tive lawyers, and found it necessary 10 call them to account. Lemly was reprimanded twice. He was in’ bad humor and flew into a fury when Attorney Rayner sought te introduce 2 chart ecncerning the speed of the ships tthe day of the battle. Capt. Lemly ac- cused Mr. Rayner of making inaccurate |statements. The leading counsel for KSchley is a Maryland man, and his | wrath arese at the charge, but he con- trolled himself well, and, addressing the court, he declared that he had prac- ticed thirty years at the bar and never before had Such an Insinuation ‘been made against his veracity. Mr. Rayner grimly hinted that trouble would follow if Lemley repeated the offense. Admiral Dewey then ruled ‘in advocate grow as angry as his op- ponent. When Admiral Dewey was about to administer the oath to the witness who followed Staunton Judge Acvocate Lemly was still grumbling. “Please be silent,” commanded Dew- ey, pausing as he held the Bible on which the witness must place his hand as he pledges himself to tell the truth. The admiral considers taking the oath a solemn ceremony, and brooks no dis- order while it is being dome. He had got half-way through the long form when Lemley iesumed his whispering. Admiral Dewey stopped short anda ‘his eyes burned fiercely as he again en- joined silence. Then he commenced all over again and finally had the witness properly sworn. An adjournment was taken until Monday. Is TO BE HANGED. Bragandn Sentenced by fhe Philippine Commission. Manila, Oct. 15—The military com- mission has sentenced Maj. Braganda to be hanged. He is the officer who ordered the assassination of 103 captive Spaniards while the insurgents under his command were fleeing from an American force. He persemally super- |, intended the slaughter. The authorities believe that Maiver, the rebel leader, has tramsferred his operations tricts of Bulacan. There are numerous evidences of restlessness on the part of the natives. The speeches made by “Congressman Weeks and the interviews «given by him concerning the Filipinos have displeased the Philippine commis- -sion and raised a storm of indignation ‘in the Manila newspapers. Maj. “The police force at Banana, province © of Batangas, has been disarmed and the chief of police and several others “Rave been placed under arrest on eharges of belonging to an insurgent society and using their offices to obtain information for the insurgents. » ‘here is intense feeling among the natives in San Fernando, province of Pempanga, over the killing of a native by-a-soldier. Strong patrols are out in ;both:San Fernando and Bacolor to pre- vent:a hostile demonstration. FOR COMMON END. Pepe Says Americana Should Be Aided in Pacification of the Phil- ippine Istands.

CASE AGAINST SCHLEY A FAZZLE COOK FLATLY CONTRADICTS TES- TIMOXX OF OTHER WiT- NES: GOVERNMENT RESTS ITS ‘CASE 1s WHE EIRST OF YS WIT- CUBAN TA ADMIRAL SCHLE NESSE Wasliiigton, Oct. 16. — Yesterday in the Schley court of inquiry Judge Ad- voeate ‘Lemley concluded presentation ef testimony for the government and the first'of Admiral Schley’s witnesses was introduced. This proved to be the Ouban ‘pilot, Eduardo Nunez, who told Schley‘on May 1898, that he did not believe the Spanish fleet under Cervera was ‘in'the.- harbor at Santiago. ‘Capt. Francis A. Cook, commander of ‘the Brooklyn, ley’s flagspip during the battle of antiago, occupied the greater part of the time of the court ‘of inquiry yesterday. He was called by the navy department. His friendship for Schley‘is well known, and the rea- ‘son ‘the department. called him is be- cause of reports that Cook disagreed | with his-superior officer as to the ne- | cessity for making . the retrograde j movement in search of coal. Told 2 Plain Story. Capt. Cook told a plain story on the stand, answering all the questions of i Sclicitor Hanna frankly and to the best lof his knowledge. Admirals Dewey, Benham and Ramsey paid, close atten- tion’ to all Cook said, and several times the first named, as president of the court,’ asked questions. Capt. Cook's description of the Brooklyn’s loop and the’ battle with Cervera’s fleet was the most graphic story yet told in the in- quiry. He said he himself gave the first order to port the helm, and then Schley repeated it after the course had been changed. This in a measure re- lieves Schley of the responsibility of endangering the Texas by collision. “How near did the Brooklyn come to the Texas?” asked Admiral Dewey. “Sbout 400 yards,” answered Cook. “IT am positive this is quite accurate, as I-was used to judging distances be- tween ships. I never expected a collis- ion with the Texas. Such a thought did not enter my mind. We were not close j enough to make this likel. Flatly Contradicted. ‘This: statement flatly contradicts the testimony of other witnesses summoned | by the department, who said the Texas barely escaped being sunk by the , Brooklyn. Some gave the distance be- j tween the two ships as low as 100 yards. Another instance in which Capt. Cook gave the lie to previous witnesses was when he was asked to describe Ad- miral Schley’s conduct and bearing while under fire. “I have always regarded him an en- thusiastically brave and patriotic of- ficer,” said the witness, quietly but | with evident conviction. There was a stir in the court room as Schley's friends turned to each other to ‘express their delight at this opinion, and the admiral himself couid not sup- press a smile of satisfaction. Capt. Cook also helped Schley’s case by de- claring ‘that the reason the flying squadron did not leave Cienfuegos and go to Santiago May 21 was because the commodore—as he called Schley—be- lieved: the enemy was. in the former port. “We -were sent to Cienfuegos,” said Capt. Cook, “to anticipate the Spanish fleet, it having been determined that they would make that their objective point.” “Schley ‘Did Not Delay. Continuing, he said when the word did ccme from Sampson stating with more certainty that the enemy was at | ‘Santiago, the squadron moved eastward ‘to Santiago. He made it plain that Schley did not delay after assuring himself Cervera was not at Cienfuegos. ‘Capt. Cook also brought out the fact that Schley was bent on keeping his ships ‘in fighting trim, and that the Teason ‘he was worried about the coal supply was ‘his belief that warships without coal were little better than lumber ‘hookers. ‘Capt. Cook made a good impression. He evaded no questions and spoke as frankly about the retrograde move- ‘ment as about the points in Schley’s faver. ‘The members of the court seemed favorably impressed with his story, and Schley’s attorneys did not conceal their satisfaction at the drift of his testimony. So pleased are the attorneys fer Admiral Schley with the } effect of Capt. Cook's testimony, that they are considering the advisability of closing their case after putting Schley on the stand and having him tel his own story. SUMMER COTTAGE BURNED. Home of C. 4.
