Mr. Morosco had gone to his room to Test after enjoying the holiday with his brothers, A. Bishop and Henry z0, and his nephews, Ed- win J. Bishop and Willard Parry. Mr. Parry was sitting in an adjoining room and heard his uncle breathing heav- ily. The young man went to the bedroom at § o'clock and noticed that Mr. Morosco was apparently not breathing. Closer examination revealed the fact that death had made its claim. Dr. E. S. Depuy, who had been attending Mr. Morosco for a recent slight illness, was called. The doctor could only that death had pre- ceded him. Mr. Morosco had been feeling indis- riously ill as to occasion any alarm. > evere shock to His sudden death was a_se E z that had been enjoying his hospi- holidays. as_is now known death came o far from heart disease.

Con- nolly, 3976 Wyalusing avenue, at midnight to-night. Shortly after the family had re- tired fire was discovered on the first floor of the house. 'Lhe flames had gained con- siderable headway and escape by the stairs was cut off. Connolly threw his two-year-old son and two-months-old baby out of a second-story window into the arms of neighbors and the little ones escaped with slight injuries. The parents then jumped and were both badiy hurt by striking on their heads on | the stone sidewalk. In the excitement the four-year-old daughter, Mary, was for- gotten. When the parents realized that she had not escaped a frantic effort was made by the firemen to save her. The house by this time was badly damaged and after the flames had been extin- guished the little charred body was found in a second-story rear room. It {s not vet known whether the parents will re- cover from their iniuries. Trouble Over Mining Claims. GUTHRIE, O. T. Dec. 25.—United States Indian Agent Randlett of the Kiowa and Comanche tribes is sending out notice to all persons who have staked mining claims in Indian allotments that they must vacate at once or they will be ejected by Fort Sill troops. The action is based upon the opinion of the Attorney ! General, approved by Secretar; Hitch- cock and sent to the agent under recent date, prohibiting miners from filing on Indian allotments. B T L Accidentally Kifled by His Brother. GUTHRIE, O. T. Dec. 25.—Charles Robb, an 1l-year-old boy, was shot and instantly killed late this evening near this city. With his elder hrother he was on a hunting trip. ‘The gun was carried over the shoulder of the older boy and was accidentally discharged, the bullet striking the younger boy in the heart. e ST. LOUIS, Mo., Dec. 25.—District Passen- ger Agent Frank D. Gilesleeve of the Balti- more snd Ohlo Southwestern has been ap- infed assistant general passenger agent, with eadquerters in St. Louls. The lwolntmentl is effective January 1. £ summoned quickly from San Francisco. Dispatches calling Leslie -Morosco home from Seattle and Oliver Morosco from Los Angeles were sent at once. Mr. Morosco’s long and profitable con- nection with San Francisco theatricals gave him prominence throughout the United States. He was born about fifty- five years ago at Guilford, Connecticut, his family name being Bishop. As a young man he joined a troupe of acrobats, styled 1/'the Morosco brothers,” and for years the y c ircuses of the country had the Leam on their bills. Mr. Morosco abandoned the circus and_embarked in the theatrical business. His first move was a remarka- ble one in the history of San Francisco theatricals. He opened a playhouse in old Union Hall, then on Howard street, be- tween Third and Fourth. It was south of Market street and the old-time theater, owners looted with amazement upon the move. But it was a big success, and led to the subsequent leasing by Mr. Moros- co of the Grand Opera-house, where he continued his successes along popular price lines. For many years Mr. Moros- co, with his son Harry, was at the head of the Grand Ownera-house. His Benefactions Many. Several months ago, desiring to retire from active service, Mr. Morosco disposed of his theatrical holdings to a corporation with which his son Harry is connected. Since his retirement Mr. Morosco had been residing at his country home, which is one of the beautiful places of Oakland and its suburbs. There the retired man- ager dnjoyed comfort and rest. Among his pleagures was driving. He was pas- sionately fond of horses, and drove often a fine team of eight black horses to a taliy-ho. His famous collection of Shet- land ponies wasia great attraction. Of large liberality, Mr. Morosco's benefac- tions were many. He took particular de- light in assisting ‘the work of the asso- | ciated kindergartens of Oakland. There will be nothing done about funerai | arrangements until the absent sons have | arrived. The relatives are prostrated over the sudden shock, for the death was most un- expected. Mr. Parry said last night: “We are simply overwhelmed, for noth- ing was further from our thoughts in this | holiday time than the possibility of the sudden taking off of my uncle.” COURT AWARDS -~ HAWAIL LAND Property in the Pearl Harbor Locality Con- demned. United States Is Successful in First of the Law- suits. HONOLULU, Dec. 18 (via Victoria, B. C., Dec. 25.)—The first of the suits brought by the United States to condemn lands needed for the naval station at Pearl Harbor was declded last week by a jury in the United States District Court, which awarded the land to the Govern- ment at a price far below the demands of the owners. The case was that of the United States against the estate of Bernice Pauahi Bishop, involving over 600 acres of land at the site of the proposed station. The Bishop estate, in its answer to the suit of condemnation, demanded about $500 per acre for the land, while the Government’s price was about $30. The jury brought in a verdict awarding the detendants about §75 per acre. The verdict is taken to indi- cate that tue Government will get land wanted for a naval station for a small sum. A special election held in the Hilo dis- trict last week to choose a successor to the late J. E. Waliko, member of the House of Representatives, resulted in the clection of James Lewis, who was the de- feated Republican candidate at the for- mer election. The campaign was a quiet one. President Roosevelt’s message is com- mented here as averse to tne sugar in- terests of Hawaii. The deciaration against allowing more Chinese to come here was a disappointment to the plan- ters- The prospect of reciprocity with Cuba and the possibility of tree admission of sugar from that island and the Philip- pines, as well as Porto Rico, are also dis- appointing to Hawaii. In spite of these inferences, however, the sugar stocks remain firm. Attorney General Dole will leave for ‘Washington in the near future to present to the United States Supreme Court the appeal of the Territory in a case involv- ing the question of the legality of trials without Grand Jury indictments under the Hawaiian law allowing jury verdicts by nine jurors after an examination. Two other suits brought by the Gov- ernment_have been compromised, the United_States getting the lands without cost. e John Il estate agreed to and has_deeded to the Government a strip of land amounting to twenty-three acres on Ford Island, and the suit against the' i estate for the whole of the island has been withdrawn, as it is held to be un- necessary to take it all. The Oahu Sugar Company also surrendered its leasehold interest in the same land. The _suit against the Oahu Railway and Land Company for the lands covered by its right of way has been settled. The com- pany deeds the land to the Government with the understanding that its tracks shall not be disturbed until a new right of way Is provided. The most important condemnation suit now pending is against the Honoluln Plantation Company to secure the com- pany’s leasehold interest in the lands of the Bishop estate already condemned. A suit against the Dowsett estate for 488 acres of this same land is also pending. GENERAL GOMEZ FARES POORLY IN POLITIES He Is Met With Charges of Treachery and Stones Are Thrown at Him. HAVANA, Dec. 2.—According to tele- grams printed in Senor Estrada Palma's organs, General Gomez is faring badly in his political matters. In the " Puerto Principe province his meetings have been broken up and he has been greeted with shouts of “Traitor’” and stones have been thrown at him. General Gomez is mount- ed on the same horse he used during the war and is accompanied by a band and a number of veterans. The Maso feeling is running strong in Puerto Principe. The Nacion says Gomez is paid by the Govérnment to stump the country. He is met with that accusation on every hand. Maso's followers have withdrawn every one of their candidates and the feeling at some points is bitter. E2 L THE VERY LATEST COL- OR PROCESS. Eight Pages in Beautiful Colors that are pleasing to the eye. J Death of Waitress Arouses Suspiciorn. DENVER, Dec. 25.—The body of Flora McDonald, a waitress, 26 years of age, was found this morning in the City Park Lake. There were marks on her throat which indicate that she was murdered. The police, however, have concluded that Miss McDonald committed suicide, as there were no evidence o support the theory of murder bevond the few marks on the face and neck. i l‘.

The true cough medicine is the one that cures the congested mem:- branes and thus stops the discharge when the cough ceases of its own accord. The cough medicine that has been found always reliable to remove the cause and thus stop the cough is Peruna. It contains no opium nor narcotie of any kind and is a sure cure for all kinds of cough. Peruna operates directly to heal the congested or inflamed mucous mem- brane of the air passages and lungs. A tablespoonful before each meal and at bedtime will cure a winter cough per manently and quickly. Two ounces of rock candy added to one bottle of Peruna and taken as above Is the best treatment in existence for a common_ cough, the cough of consumption and chronic bron- chitls, according to the testimony of the thousands of patients scattered all over the length and breadth of the United States. If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis. ¢ Address Dr. Hartman.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Dec. 25.—The steam- er Sun, employed in the Memphis and Ful- ton trade, burned to the water's edge at an early hour this morning and four lives were lost. The dead: 3 D. N. RAINOR, Old River, Agk. MRS. D. N. RAINOR, Old River, Ark. MRS. G. M. TIMBS, Richardson Land- ing, Tenn. . Child of Mrs. G. M. Timbs. The fire was discovered at 4:10 a. m. as the steamer lay at her wharf here, and spread with such rapidity that the craft was a mass of flames when the depart- ment responded to the alarm. When the Sun arrived in port last night from Ful- ton most of the passengers went ashore, but ten or a dozen of them decided to spend the night on the boat. Among these were Mr. ana Mrs. Timbs and baby, Mrs. Timbs’ sister, Miss Josie Hammers, and Mr. ahd Mrs. D. N. Rainor. Miss Ham- mers was sleeping with her sister and the baby in a stateroom, and when she was | awakened by the smoke she aroused her | sister and started toward an exit. Mrs. | Timbs, however, went back for the baby, and before she could return the hurricane deck gave way and escape was cut off. Miss Hammers got out without injury. Timbs was in another stateroom, and un- til the collapse of the roof came tried by every means to reach his wife. Mr. and Mrs. Rainor had a stateroom, and al- though it was thought that all the pas- sengers on the boat had been saved noth- ing was heard from them until their charred remains ‘e discovered. When the first body wn¥:ken out Timbs iden- tified it as his wifgby a ring worn on her finger. The body was horribly burned. The body of the baby has not been found. The steamer Sun was the property of George W. Phillips, who was her captain, and John Breiner, who acted as clerk. The loss to steamer and cargo probably will reach $20,000, partially insured. FORGERS OF RATLROAD ARE BECOMING NERVOUS Freudulent Stamp Used to Validate Return Portion of Tickets Is Vol- untarily Surrendere 2 KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 25.—A fraud- ulent stamp, similar to that used at the union station ticket office for the purpose of validating the return portions of rail- way tickets, has been voluntarily surren- dered to George H.

NEW YORK, Deg. 25.—A race skirmish between whites and blacks in Harlem to- day . developed serious praportions and kept the police busy for a time. The ne- groes, 100 strong, were armed with revolv- ers and clubs, while equally as many whites used stones and other weapons. The negroes had the advantage, but were driven back into their tenements by the police after they had charged on the whites with pistols and razors. Fifteen negroes were arrested. Four whites, in- cluding a policeman, were badly shot or cut. The rioting began when some white boys stoned two colored girls, whereupon a dozen negroes seized the white boys and beat them. The boys, when released, told their story to white men in the vicinity and an organized attack was made on the negroes, who were driven back to their tenements under a shower of stones. The confusion increased when the white men began to bombard the tenements with | stones and other missiles and the negroes fired from their windows into the crowd. The whites, surprised by the shooting and seeing men fall wounded, turned and ran, followed by the negroes, who used knives and clubs freely. At this point a squad of policemen ar- rived on the scene and with drawn clubs stopped the rioting, chasing the negroes into their houses. ADVERTISEMENTS. Where Knrife Failed.
