DENVER, Colo.,, Nov. —What is pronounced by physicians a case of double consciousness has been brought to public notice through a suit filed by David Charters against the city of| Denver for $15,000 damages for injuries to his head sustained by faliing on a defective sidewalk. After the accident, which occurred on December 30, 1901, Charters pro- claimed himself “Daniel, the Prophet,” and wrote a book entitled “Daniel's Vision and Mission; Is Heaven Real? Is Hell Real?” He preached on the streets and established a prosperous | mission. He also traveled about the country as a evangelist. Charters, a few weeks ago, fully re- covered from his injury and he then declared that the interval since the accident happened was a blank to him. He had no knowledge of having writ- ten a book.

The statement published by a news agency in the United States to-day to the effect that Die Morgen Post had confirmed reports that the Czarina is not suffering from inflammation of the ear, but from the effects of strychnine placed in the food in the royal palace by nihilists, who thus attempted to kill t Czar, is ab- solutely dented and is considered pre- | posterous. | Die Morgen Post merely noted the rumors published in the Polish press ' that the death of the P °ss Eliza- beth, daughter of the Grand Duke of Hesse, was caused by the eating of dis. eased oysters. Die Morgen Post, in re- | ferring to the rumor, made no mention whatever of the Czar or the Czarina. | DEPUTY LOSES 41 BEVOLYER The Weapon Disa.ppearsi From Drawer of Desk | | 1 at San Quentin. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Nov. ’ The whereabouts of a revolver be- | longing to Deputy Sheriff Vender of | | San Francisco is occupying the anen-1 tion of Warden Tompkins and all of | the officers at the penitentiary. Whether or not the weapon is secreted | in some one of the convicts’ cells js a ! problem yet unsolved. Deputy Sherlfl' Bender brought a . prisoner to S-n‘ Quentin this afternoon and on ‘oln¢| ipside the walls with the felon, as is a strict rule, his revolver was left out- | side the gate. Bender placed the weapon in a drawer of the register ' desk. He then went.inside, turhed his | prisoner over to Captain Harrison and | came out in order to catch the 5:10 bus for Greenbrae, en route to San | Francisco. . Upon opening the drawer | he discovered his pistol missing. Dili- | gent search and close interrogation of the prison officials failed to elicit any | infermation. The officer left without | his revolver and the prison attaches | are conducting a most thorough inves- | tigation. The guard in charge of the! prison gate as well as several of the | “trusties,” who are more or less privi- | leged characters around the front gate, { were closely questioned. Up to a late hour to-night the revolver had not been ! found. 1 —_———— | Don’t wait too long before buying your ’ wife a gas range.

Conservative Confidence Felt in the Commercial Outlook. | NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—Bradstreet’s | to-morrow will say: Continued cold weather has offered a | needed stimulus to retail trade in all | seasonable lines, but particularly cloth- |ing and wearing apparel. This in turn |is reflected In better reorder business | with jobbers at interior centers, who also ' note more interest in holiday | goods, fancy groceries, furs and kindred lines. In wholesale trade features are the rather stronger tone for cotton goods, ! which are heid more firmly by agents, and a little better feeling in woolen | goods. The firmness of prices of agri- { cultural products was another element which is to be taken account of. The agricultural interests and those inter- ested in distributive trade seem at present to be having their innings and appear well situated, whereas the manufacturing and industrial branches send forth nearly all of the pessimistic reports. The prosperity of the grain and food producing populations North and West {and of the cotton, lumber and naval | stores interests at the South is, in fact, | the chief basis for the conservative confidence in the general business out- look éxpresesd by many observers. are some good points even among the industries.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—The bat- tieship Maine has suffered another in- jury. The inability of the ship to make more than twelve knots on her recent cruise to Colon was due to an accident to her engines, which occurred before her departure. Four of the large en- gines' “Y's,” or supports, are broken, and it will be necessary to repair them before it will be safe for the Maine to increase her speed beyond twelve knots, although the vessel's maximum speed is eighteen knots. The Navy Depart- ment officials assert that the vessel is n no danger if she does not exceed twelve knots, but it is admitted that only an emergency would have caused her dispatch on such a cruise in her present condition, —_—————————— Postoffice Department Promotions.
