The Khedive of Egypt recently sent 2 present to Pope Leo XIII, in the shape of a mummy, dating back to two thousand years before the Christian tra. A movement is on foot in North Carolina, prompted by the tobacco dealers, to erect a statue of Sir Walter Raleigh in Raleigh. Collection boxes are to be placed in stores where to- bacco is sold. A line of “observation automobiles” ‘s to be run in Washington, D, C., for the benefit of visitors. Each vehicle tarries twenty-two passengers and will be accompanied by a lecturer on points of interest at the capital. The fuel is kerosene and the motive power steam. Dr. S. J. Trexle of Kutztown, Pa., before his death, provided that every- one who attended his funeral should have a free dinner, and over 1,000 persons availed themselves of his of- fer at the two leading hotels, where arrangements had been made to feed the multitude. A New York newspaper recently celebrated its fiftieth birthday by bringing out a copy of its first issue. That number contained, among many musty and forgotten things, an arti- cle on the Nicaraguan canal route, ex- tracts from English papers on the su- periority of American yachts, and an article on the sympathy of Americans with the Cubans, oppressed by Spain. Verily, “the thoughts we are think- ing our fathers did think.” An American laundry machine com- pany has recently shipped a complete steam laundry plant to Vladivostok, eastern Siberia. It will be capable of handling four thousand pieces of lin- en a day, and will consist of wash- ers, centrifugal wringers and a large mangle. This is said to be the first introduction of such an equipment in- to that region. If so, it is doubtless a case of “Wring out the old; wring in the new,” slightly to amend Ten- nyson’s familiar lines. The “Donau Zeitung,’ a Bavarian gewspaper, gives currency to the ru- mor that the Kaiser has instructed the military authorities to remit all sentences passed on soldiers of the China expeditionary force. His Majes- ty, it is said, does not wish that the men who went voluntarily to,China to fight for the Fatherland shall. return home to undergo punishment. Quite a large number of soldiers of the Ger- man forces have been sentenced to more or less heavy punishment for offenses against military discipline committed in China and Zor excesses against the person and property of the Chinese. When Emma Paul was called as a witness in court in Baltimore, Md., in a suit brought by her father against her mother, the astonishing facts were disclosed that, although she is aged twenty years, she did not understand the nature of an oath, had never been to a church or Sunday school, had never heard of God, or heaven, and did not know of the promise of im- mortality. It was discovered that the young woman had lived in Baltimore all her life, and that her home was in*the heart of a densely populated section. Judge Wickes allowed her to testify, saying she was an extraordin- ary and unsatisfactory witness. The street car companies of Chicago are apparently not in high favor with the Service committee of the commit- tee on local transportation of the city council, for it has formulated a code that is likely to reduce the receipts of the railroad companies considerably The committee at a meeting decided that if a passenger is obliged to stand up in a car and hang on to a strap he has received value for only four cents, and not five. Then the com- mittee has suggested to the corpora- tion counsel to enforce an ordinance relative to transfers, making it obli- gatory on the traction companies to furnish transfer siips to any of its intersecting lines. An interesting operation has just been performed in the hospital attached to the University at Halle, Germany. A 6-year-old girl patient was suffering from partial paralysis and as the doc- tors in charge considered this could only arise from a tumor on the brain. Prof. von Bramann decided to remove it. With an electric saw he cut out ¢ piece of the skull a little larger thar a half-crown, cut through the inne: skin, and discovered a tumor as larg: as a walnut. The professor skilfully removed this tumor, sewed up the in ner skin, fitted in again the roun¢c piece of the skull he had sawn out and sewed up the outer skin. The operation lasted an hour, and may bc considered perfectly successful, as the child is quite well again and all symp- toms of paralysis have disappeared. At the request of friends and ad mirers of Dr. Armand Hansen, the dis- coverer of the bacillus of ieprosy, the Norwegian sculptor Visdal made a bust of him, which was unveiled the othe: day, on the occasion of Hansen’s six tieth birthday. Professor Lassar de- re- marked that it had taken the world a quarter of a century to fully realize the import of Dr. Hansen’s discovery but that already, in consequence of it, great improvement had been effected in Norway, long one of the {favorite haunts of that terrible disease, RATHBUN CONFESSES CONSPIRACY TO SWINDLE, BUT NOT MURDER. MEANT TO SET FIRE TO A HOTEL DEAD BODY WITH HIS LETTERS WAS FIRST TO BE PLACED IN THE ROOM. HiS ACCOMPLICE [IS MISSING CORONER FINDS LAUDANUM IN THE STOMACH OF THE DEAD MAN, Louisville, Ky., Nov. 13. — Newell C. Rathbun, who was supposed to be dead in a Jeffersonville, Ind., hotel last Tuesday, was arrested jhere yesterday. According to Rathbun the corpse which was shipped to Little Rock for burial as the body of Rathbun was the body of W. L. Ten Eyke. The police say that Rathbun has confessed to deser- tion from the United States army and to having formed a plan to fraudulent- ly collect $4,000 insurance on his life, but that he denies having killed the man who died in the Jeffersonville ho- tel, Rathbun was arrested about 1 o'clock yesterday morning at the United States recruiting station in Louisville. He is held as a fugitive from justice. The arrest was made on information from Sergt. Skinner, of the United States recruiting station. Rath- bun enlisted under the name of “Lou Root, Detroit.” Rathbun said last night in an interview that at Platts- burg Barracks, N. Y., he and a corporal Fixed Up the Plan to collect the $4,000 insurance. He says the plan was “‘to slip a body into some hotel, set fire to the building after hav- ing left letters and papers of mine in the pockets of the clothes. Of course, when the hotel burned we expected the body to be burned up too’ or at lease so scorched that no one could recognize him.” He says the corporal came to Louis- ville, and under their agreement the corporal was to secure the body. Rath- bun hints that the corperal drugged the victim if he was drugged. He says he does not know where the corporal is now. Rathbun, who enlisted here at Lou Root, gave his birthplace as Detroit, his trade as a printer, and his age as twenty-seven. Coroner Cotes of Jeffer- sonville states that he examined the stomach of the dead man and found traces of enough laudanum to kill two men. CARRY ENGLAND'’s MAIL. American Line Gets Contract for Australian Service. New York, Nov. 1s.—Word was re- ceived at the New York Central rail- way offices from Spreckles & Co. of San Francisco, who own and operate the Oceanic Steamship company, that the British government has ordered it to carry the: Australian London mail from now on. Later in the day a dis- patch was received from the same com- pany stating that it has also got from theFrench government the contract of transporting the mail from Tahiti, which is the chief port of all French possessions among the Pacific islands. Both of these new contracts are the result of the record-breaking trip made by the mail in the two trials made over ; the American route. BRAVE-HEARTED MIs SIONARY. Miss Stone Forgets Self in Her Care for Companion, Sofia, Bulgaria, Nov. 18.—From an- other letter that has been received from Miss Ellen M. Stone, the ab- ducted American missionary, it ap- pears that she is enduring the trials of her hard experience with fortitude, for- getting herself in ner anxiety for her companion, Mme. Tsilka. Miss Stone does not dare to complain of the treat- ment to which they are subjected, but she finds the confinement irksome and the weather extremely trying. The tone of the latest letter received from her is hopeful. The brigands, by dat- ing the letters at places in Macedonia and delaying their delivery, seek to create the appearance of being far distant. The Bulgarian government continues to interfere in the negotia- tions with the object of forcing a transference of them across the fron- tier. MIXED OIL AND RELIGION. Pastor Wins Fight Against Trast and Is Deposed. Indianapolis, Nov. 13.—Rev. Philip E. Holp, the talented young pastor of the Congregational church at Angola, was deposed yesterday by his congregation by a unanimous vote, which was given for the sake of harmony in the church, but with a majority really disapproving of the action. Last spring he started a movement to reduce the price of gasoline and kerosene by the organization of a local company. Nearly all tue Angola merehants joined in the movement and the plan was con- summated. The Standard Oil company had been charging 13 cents per gallon for oil and gasoline. As soon as the [ndependent company received its supply the price dropped to 9 cents. not only In Angola, but in all the outlying towns of Steuben county. Many of Mr. Holp’s church membership are employed by the Standard Oil com- pany, and it is claimed by his friends that it was through the influence of the company that he was driven from his pulpit. FALLS TO NIS DEATH. Prof. Smith Accidentally Falls From His Stndy Window. New York, Nov. 13. — Richard Mayo Smith, a professc> of political econom- ics at Columbia university, was killed last night by falling from a window of his study on the fourth floor of his residence ong West Seventy-sevent? street to the stone flagging in the rear So far as the police have investigatec the case they conclude that the fall w: Gccidental. { LEADER I8 TAKEN, Fugitive Convict Is Brought Dow: by a Load of Buckshot. Topeka, Kan., Nev. 13. — With th: capture of Frank Thompson, the negr: leader of the federal penitentiary mu tiny of last Thursday, fourteen of th: twenty-six fugitive convicts have beei retaken, Thompson was captured near Coun cil Grove last night by Deputy Unitec States Marshal Prescott and a posse 0 farmers. He showed fight but war breught down with a load of buckshot Thompsen is not dangerously woun ded, and will be returned to ihe peni- tentiary to-day. The twelve convicts yet at large are inspiring much fear among the inhab- itants of the country districts. Offi- cers are at work in a dozen co-yties and as some report that they uave greups of convicts rounded up more captures will be made in a few hours From Council Grove, where Thompson was captured last night, six convicts have started to Cottonwood Falls and are freely holding up and robbing peo- ple and plundering farms all along the route. Many have had encounters with the men and people along the route are Afraid to Venture out of their houses. In Lyon county citizens and officers are armed and are patrolling the approaches to the town, as the convicts will probably pass that way. Three suspected convicts were seen bearding a freight train in Ottawa last night and they are expected to drop off near Emporia, where there is some heavy timber suitable for hiding. Near Osage City Deputy Warden Lemon, with fourteen officers, is close- ly in touch with three convicts whom he expects to capture at any moment. The sheriff of Oswego is in pursuit of a convict who held rp some men there yesterday. The sheriff at Alma reports that he has two suspected con- victs surrounded. The convicts are seemingly becoming bolder and are invading towns. In the Union Pacific yards at Wamego last night two convicts held up a man and compelled him at the point of q revol- ver to give them $92. they then boarded a freight train and went west without any attempt being made to capture them. ARRAIGNS DURBIN. Gov. Beckham Replies te Criticisms by Indiana’s Executive. Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 13.—Gov. Beck- ham last night addressed to Gov. Dur- bin of Indiana a letter replying to the criticism by that executive of the courts and officials of Kentucky in his recent letter refusing to honor the requisition for Taylor and Finley, wanted for alleged complicity in the as- sassination of Gov. Goebel. He sevére- ly arraigns Durbin for his refusal, charging that in doing so he violated his oath of office to support the Con- stitution of the United States and that he became a party after the fact to the most infamous crime in the history of this state, the cold-blooded and das- tardly murder of an eminent and dis- tinguished citizen of Kentucky. The Kentucky executive also charges that Gov. Durbin's action in refusing was the result of political bargain made be- fore his election to office, and charac- terizes his charges against the courts and officials of Kentucky as slander- ous .and inexcusable misrepresenta- tions. He takes the stand that the governor of a state has no ‘iscretionary powers, but only ministerial power in the honor- ing of legally drawn requisitions from other states, and this is taken here as an indication that steps will shortly be taken in the courts to compel Durbin by mandamus to honor the requisitions. It such proceelings are instituted they will be in the courts of Indiana and taken on appeal to the supreme court. THOMPSON’S SHORTAGE. State Commander of Michigan Sug- gests Maccabees Make It Up. S. Boynton, commander of the great camp of Maccabees of Michigan, says that in view of the past good record of Cc. D. Thompson, the defaulting finance keeper of the supreme tent, the Macca- bees generally should contribute to- ward a fund to help Thompson out of his difficulty. He offers, as commander of the Michigan great camp, to join with D. P. Markey, commander of the supreme tent, in an endeavor to raise a sum by popular subscription among the Maccabees sufficient to make good Thompson's shortage. Thompson is still at liberty and rumors are rife that a settlement is pending. Supreme commander Markey and Recordkeeper Seigle denied the rumor. DUEL WITH PISTOLS. One Participant Dend and the Other Is Dying. Macon, Ga., Nov. 13.—John Goolsby and Charlie Fullerton, two prominent farmers in Hillsboro, near here, fought with pistols yesterday afternoon. Full- erton was killed instently and Goolsby is thought to be dying. Goolsby raised his shotgun and Fullerton seized it. Each held it with his left hand and drew their pistols, and thus they fought until Fullerton fell dead and Goolsby staggered a few paces, fell. and then raised upon his elbow and emptied both barrels of the gun into the dead body near him. RESCUED THE SUN. Ceremony at Pekin During Partial Eclipse Witnesxed by Foreigners. Pekin, Noy. 13.—In conformity with notice which the foreign office sent to the legations, all the Chinese officials in the capital gathered at the board of rites to ‘rescue the sun,” which was suffering from a partial eclipse. The rescue was accomplished by prostra- tions, the burning of incense and the beating of drums. A few foreigners, for the first time in history, were per- mitted to witness the ceremony. PLAGUE IN RUSSIAN crry. American Consul at Odessa Reports an Outbreak. Washington, Nov. 13.—A cablegram was yesterday received at the office of the surgeon general of the marine hos- pital service saying that the plagye had broken out in Odessa, Russia. The office was also informed from Liverpoo! that the custom house at that point issued clean bills of health yesterday, and that there had not been a fresh case of the plague in Glasgow since the 1st inst. MANY LIVES LOST FIERCE GALE ACCOMPANIED BY DELUGE OF RAIN SWEEPS GREAT BRITAIN, . MANY VESSELS ARE WRECKED TOWNS IN ENGL: )», IRELAND AND SCOTLAND ARE INUN- DATED. NUMEROUS STREET ACCIDENTS LIFE ROATS AND COAST GUARDS BUSY ASSISTING DISTRESSED VESSELS. London, Nov. 13.—A fierce gale has been prevailing over the United King- dom for several hours, and scores of lives have deen lcst. The wind varies from southwest to southeast, accompznied by a,deluge of warm rain in the western and midland counties and with cold rain and snow in the northern and eastern counties. There have been serious serigus floods in Ireland, where it has rained inces- santly for forty hours. The rivers are swollen and many towns in England, Scotland and Ireland have been inun- dated. In some cases furniture is flcating in the streets. The poor are” suffering greatly. Some washouts have occurred on the railways. The dam at Lake Tanderagee, on the duke of manchester’s estate, has broken and caused considerable destruction, One man was killed. Part of Belfast is Severely Flooded. The water in the streets has prevented the opening of the principal theater of the city. There have been many street accidents. There are heavy floods on the Isle of Man and in Wales. The mills in the Yorkshire valley have stopped. The telegraph are badly damaged. Scotland is almost isolated. There is a furious sea running on all the ccasts, destroying sea walls, piers and shore buildings. The life boats and the coast guards are busily em- ployed in assisting distressed vessels. Numerous wrecks have been reported, especially on the Durham and North- umberland coasts, where eight persons have been drowned. Several deaths are reported from other places. The steamer St. Elvo was driven ashore at Dover. The crew narrowly escaped death, but were rescued by life boats. The vessel is brecking up. The chan- nel steamers have been terribly buffet- ed and are arriving hours late after frequent unsuccessful attempts to en- ter their ports. The gale is still blow- ing. SAVED FROM GALLOWS. ‘Woman Convicted of Murdering Her Husband. Jefferson City, Mo., Nov. 13.—Alice Nesenbauer, tried in 1900 for mu-- dering her husband, was yesterday saved from the gallows by a decision of the supreme court which held that there was no ground for ‘conviction. She had been tried and convicted and sentenced to death for poisoning her husband in July, 1900. Two of her children had died suddenly, and the fact that all three had been insured; that Mrs. Nesenbauer objected to a post mortem examination and the finding of a powder in the vault were strong factors in her conviction. Through her trial and imprisonment the prisoner had her baby constantly with her, SWORD TO DISAPPEAR. Useless Part of an Officer's Accou- trements in Modern Days. Washington, Nov. 13.—It is not im- probable that the war department of- ficials will decide to abandon the sword as a part of an officer's equipment. Recent experience in our army during the Spanish war and in the Philippines and in the British army in South Af- rica. has demonstrated to the satisfac- tion of experts that a sword is a use- less incumbrance and in no ‘way of service. The British army has dis- carded it, and a similar amendment may be made to our army regulations. TURKS ARE ANXIOUS. Acute Sense of Humiliation Over Submission to France. New York, Nov. 13.—The Mussulman population in Turkey, says the Con- stantinople correspondent of the Times, feels acutely humiliations like the re- cent French demor stration. A high of- ficial has presented a report to the sultan showing that persistence in the present governmental system must cre- ate formidable international difficul- ties. ROBBERS SHOOT. Rattle With Citizens While Looting a Postofiice. Elkhart, Ind., Noy. 13. — Yesterday morning after 1 o'clock the Bristol postoffice was robbed of $500 in stamps and $1,200 in money.

Cleveland, Ohio, Noy. 13. — A wind with a velocity of fifty miles an hour has been blowing on Lake Erie for the past fifteen hours, resulting in a com- plete embargo on lake commerce, and aside from the passenger boats no lake eraft came into Cleveland yesterday. Old Resident Dead. Osakis, Minn., Nov. 13—A. H. Brink, an old resident of the northeast lake shore, was buried here. He died after an ill ness of several months, aged sixty-nine.

Blue Earth, Minn., Nov. 13. — The cylinder head blew cut of the engine in the mill here, literally smashing the engine to pieces. The engineer was Se- verely injured, DISPUTE IS ENDED. Diplomatic Relations Between France and Turkey Resumed. Paris, Nov. 12.—Diplomatic relations between France and Turkey have been resumed, and tae French admiral at Nitylene has been ordered to re-em- bark his marines, France has gained a victory in diplomacy, and Turkey has learned that she can no longer trifle with Euro- pean powers in the matter of finances. The French foreign office last »even- ing anncunced that the sultan had signed an irade for the execution of his engagements with the French gov- ernment, and that the Franco-Turkish dispute is now at an end. Tewfik Pasha, Ottoman minister of foreign affairs, wrote a letter to M. Baptiste, counsellor of the French em- bassy in Constantinople, notifying him of the signing of the irade, which, while settling the original French de- mands, accepts the fresh demands as set forth in a dispatch from Constanti- nople on Franday, with the additional clause by which the sultan pledges to establish in full rights the commercial, trading, religious and educational en- terprises which France may desire to carry out., if the porte is advised pf her intentions and makes no objection in five months. | France has thus secured full satis- faction, and M. Delcasse, on receipt of M. Baptiste’s dispatch, telegraphed him to inform Tewfik Pasha that dip- lcmatic relations had been re-estab- lished and that M. Baptiste should con- sider himself in full charge of the French embassy. Instructions were also sent to the French admiral at Mitylene to re-em- bark the marines and to return to Greek waters, which is understood to mean the vicinity of the Island of Syra. Admiral Caillard will remain in the Levant some time longer. M. Constans, the French ambassador, will return to Constantinople very shortly. The additional clause was acceded at the request of France in order to pre- vent future difficulties, such as the Turkish provincial authorities have of- ten raised on their own initiative, or in consequence of instigation by the porte. The Temps describes the result as a “brilliant victory for French diplom- acy.” THE MARKETS. Latest Quotations From Grain and Live stock Centers.
