Much of the slaughter that marked the siege of Port Arthur centered about the capture of what was known as 203 Aeter hill. The Japapese wanted that eminence, not to plant guns om it, but to observe the position of the Russian ‘warships anchored in Port Arthur har- bor. Before the capture of the hill the Japanese fired into the town and the barbor with an alarming and pusaling accuracy, aithough the gunuers never saw their target. After a time the Russians learned that a Chinese fisherman was particu- larly fond of a certain spot in the har- | bor. They watched him. If a shot fell beyond a particular ship he moved his boat in a corresponding direction. If a shot fell to the left the simple Chi- nese found the fishing better in that direction. Apparentiy he bad, no mis- slon in the world except to find the best fishing ground. Finally it dawned upon the Russians that his movements glasses. Fishing in the harbor was prohibited, and the Japanese fire weant wide. After a time the shots began hitting their marks with the former accuracy.

The girl explained her friendshi pto Miss Grahain by saving that the lat- ter had nursed her so devotedly dur- ing her iliness last April thaf she decided never to leave her. Buckner questioned the witness closely as to her past life, particularly as to a visit she made in 1910 to Plattsburgh, N. Y.. where she occupied, she said, the house of a friend, “Mr. Farley,” who was away for the summer. While there, she admitted that she had | drawn a revolver upon & man, Louls | Miller, with whom she had been on an automobile ride.

Miss Graham took the stand and Assistant District Attorney Buckner continued his cross examination. He asked about the visit Miss (habam aad Miss Conrad made on May 31, eight days before the shooting, to a depart- ment store, where they bought the re- Volver with which they shot Stokes.

Dresden, Saxony, Dec. 12—A recent pastoral letter of the pope on the sub- ject of he jurisdletion of civil courts over Catholic clergy was discussed to- day in the Saxon diet. In reply to an interpellation, the minister of edu- cation and religion declared that con- flicts between the constitution of the church and the laws of Saxony would be A in the unitkely event of an attempt to enforce the terms of the papal ordinance. The pope on October 9 last sent to the Catholic clergy a letter dealing with those persons who take proceed- ings against the clergy before the courts of law in wheh he said: “In these times of difficulty when 8o littie consideration is shown to rellgious freedom that not only simply clergy- fmen and priests, but also the bishops and even cardinals of the -Roman Catholle church are brought before the courts of law the matter demands from us that we by means severe pen- alties keep those guilty of such sac- cts (and who are not res- the weight of their own gullt) to their duty. Therefore we ordain and decree that every private person whether of civil or religious standing or of the masculine or fem- imine sex who any cleric what- ever before x civil court and compels him to appear there publicly either in a criminal or civil matter without the permission of the church author- examiner with a spirit she had not hown since the trial began. Mr. Buckmer here produced a pint bottle one-third full of whiskey. He asked the witness if it was not the bottle she had sent out to be filled on June 7, the day of the shooting. She admitted she had a bottle of whiskey in the house, but denfed that she had it refilled on that day. “That may be the bottle,” she said, T don’t know." “You didn't look for Mr. Stokes on the 7th of June, did you?” “No. “Didn’'t Miss Conrad call Bim up over the telephone that afterndon and k him to come “I don’t think she did.” The Night of the Shooting. Coming down to the night Stokes was shot, Miss Graham said that he thought she had gone to Europe and :d to see her. She admit- was angry with him for what he had told Miss Conrad about her and her sister. “How dare you come into this house after what you said about me and my family?” were the words with which she greeted the caller.

They Were Cleaned by the Pige Less Than a Century Ago. So far as the municipal archives go, the first system of street cleaning In New York was authorized in 1696. In that year the city entered into.a com- tract with one of its citizens wheteby he agreed to keep the streets free -of rubbish and refase for £30 (about $150) a year. Prior to that year each house- Rolder was obligated to keep the street clean in from¢ of his residence, and if be failed to do so a fine of so many shillings was assessed against himaby the city. If the records are to be credited there was no systematic effort to keep the streets of the city free of refuse from the early Dutch days down to 1825. AIll those years New York was the butt of the sneers and ridicule of Boston and Philadelphia, both of which boasted of their clean streets. In that lomg period the city left the disposal of its refuse almost wholly to bogs, of which, an old municipal rec- ord says, there were no less than 80,000 in 1820. They appear to have roamed the streets as they pleased, and it is small wonder the visitors ‘were wont to refer to New York as a fine large pigsty. Even the scourges of yellow fever and smallpox that swept over the city were not sufiicient to move the author- ities to rescue the people from the in- sanitation that caused them, and it was Dot until 1823 that any action was taken. In that year the common coun- cil, spurred by the indignant protests of the leading citizens, decreed that the army of roaming hogs should be captured and reduced to pork and carts assigned to remove the refuse from the streets. But even then there was such a row over the destruction of the hogs that it was several years before the letter of the ordinance could be enforced.— New York Times. A STRANGE FRYING PAN. 1t Was a Relic of Royalty and Queerly Out of Place. One day M. Sommerand. curator of the Cluny museum, went into a small restaurant in the suburb of St. De- nys, a restaurant of the kind where the dining room and the kitchen are one and the satme room. While wait- ting to be served his eye was caught which was banging on the wall. He took it down, rubbed off some of the soot with which it was covered and made out part of an inscription. To the surprise of the hostess, he of- fered to buy the old pan, an offer she joyfully accepted, doubtless thinking ber customer somewhat mad. ‘When the copperplate was properly cleaned it was found that it bore the arms of France and Navarre surround- ed by the chain of S. Louis and the cord of the Order of the St. Esprit and the following inscription: “Here Hes the magnificent prince, King Louls XIV., king of France and of Navarre. Requiescat in pace.” It was evidently the plate which had been attached to the coffin of Louis XIV., and when the vaults of the Bourbons at St Denys were rified by the populace In 1798 it had been carried off, fitted with a handle and turned into a frying pan. It is now in the Cluny museum. The handle has been removed, but the three holes re- main showing where it was attached.— Rome Weekly Mundus.
