Mattasich arrived at Coswig in an automobile from Berlin, expecting the co-operation of @ restaurant-keeper whom he had initiated into the plan, but the latter told other persons, }through whom the physician in charge cf the asylum was informed of the facts in the case. After waiting for | several days in the vicinity to see if | the Princes stook a daily drive, Mat- | tasich concluded that the attempt was | useless now, for the Princess was no- | where visible. Mattasich announced in a book which | was recently published in Vienna his | inflexible purpose to liberate the Prin- cess from what he regarded as her unjust captivity. ———— ‘Will Fight Increase of Rents.

The men, representing the worst and most savage type of the natives, were first caught, then carried far away from their homes and forced into this mili- tary service. There, in turn, this can- nibal soldiery is used to compel the natives to bring in enormous tribute of ivory and india rubber. It is worth noting that the King of Belgium is to-day reputed the largest dealer in ivory and rubber in the world. “As a result of this forced labor and military service, great and unspeaka- ble cruelties are practiced on the na- tive people. I have seen a number of times at least 5000 fleeing into the for- ests t6 escape from the cannibal sol- diers of King Leopold; 1 have seen these soldiers scouring through the forests, and after catching a number | of men whom the Government wanted as laborers, going away with the cap- tives tied together by ropes around their necks. Raids upon villages are constantly being made. Some of the people are killed and eaten, others are hurried away into captivity, and sold: others are forced into labor and mili- tary service. 1 can buy all the slaves you want at Luebo at from $10 to $15 apiece. “When these raids are made the most awZul cruelties are practiced. In- nocent women and children are killed or captured, hands are cut off to be taken back to the white Belgian offi- cers to show that the work has been well done, and great sections are being depopulated. One of these raids was made near one of our mission stations —one of our missionaries went to the scene and counted eighty-one hands cut off and drying over a fire, to be taken back to the Belgian officers: forty-five dead bodies were counted lying near by.

NONOGENARIAN DIES TO SAVE OCTOGENARIAN New Jersey Man Is Overcome by Fire While Trying to Rescue Companion. NEW YORK, April 5.—At the age of 90, Samuel Mowery has sacrificed his life at Washington, N. J., to save Wil- liam Drake, aged 80 years, from burn- ing to death. Both men lived on the same farm and were inseparable. They went into a meadow to burn off some dead grass. The flames were fanned by a brisk breeze, and soon Drake, who started the blaze, discovered that his clothing was on fire. He tottered and fell, ery- ing in a tremulous voice for aid. Mow- ery hastened to him and tried to beat out the flames with his cap and bare hands. Too weak to carry the victim, * Mowery managed to roll him over sev- eral times and then fell senseless, over- come by the smoke and his own exer- tions. No persen was within hailing dis- tance and Mowery perished in the flames. Members of the family found both men lying in the charred rubbish several hours later. Mowery was burned to a crisp, but Drake may re- cover. CAPE HAYTIEN, April Dominican cruiser is expected to arrive shortly with President Morales of Santo Domingo on board.

San Joseans virtually | poured into the scene of the festivities | and every town in the county was rep- | | resented. Many went from here in car- | | riages. The drives along the mjles of | good roads through the orchards at- tracted many and a thousand went to | Congress Springs and spent the day | | along the creeks and in the hills. No | | other section of the State could have | presented the vast' amount of flowers | | and blossoms. Free sodawater was dis- | pensed at Congress Springs. The festivities of blossom day opened at 9 o'clock with a praise service at the Methodist church. The Rev. S. M. | Woodward read from the psalms and | the Rev. Mr. Merrill and the Rev. Ed- win Sidney Williams offered prayer. | A concert in front of the postoffice | |at 10:30 o’clock was given by Brohaska’s | band of twelve pieces. An adjournment ! was taken to Grangers Grove at 11:30. | Here another concert was given and a picinc dinner was served by the ladies| | of Saratoga. A great reunion was then | [ held and the thousands of people sat | and walked under the fine trees on the | grounds. The exercises of the day then began | | and a vast crowd gathered upon the hill. The “Doxology” was sung by the audience and the Rev. E. Williams lead the devotion. The Rev. Mr. Hall of Niles read the Twenty-third Psalm and the Rev. Mr. Gregory, president of the Pastors’ Union, offered prayer. Ed- win K. Johnston was then introduced as chairman of the meeting and made an address of welcome. Mrs., E. L. | Watson of Cupertino delivered an ad- | dress. The Rev. D. D. Peebles sang “My Own United States” and gave a | recitation. 'W. G. Alexander and D. T. Bateman delivered addresses. A col- ored quartet from the Antioch Baptist Churh sang,some Songs. W. A. Gates, secretary of the State Board of Charities and Correction, ad- | dressed the assemblage. Five thousand voices joined in singing ‘“America.” Letters of regret at being unable to be present were received from Governor Pardee, J. O. Hayes and Mayor George D. Worswick of San Jose. A general committee, of which W. G. Tomlinson was president, William Small secretary and E. J. Corpstein treasurer, had charge of the festivities. Everything is in readiness for the blossom fete to be held in this city on Thursday under the auspices of the Women's Club. The realm of Queen Flora is being robbed of its. floral wealth by society’'s ladies, and to-mor- row afternoon they will begin placing the tons of varied colored blossoms upon the floats, carriages and automo- biles that will be in the parade. Busi- ness will be practically suspended in San Jose on that day, and every one will turn out in honor of the event. hibit they will make to the admiring thousands of spectators will be a grand show. Not since the big rose carnival in 1896 has anything so gor- geous been attempted. All interest centers in the event and Mrs. W. C. Kennedy, the president of the eclub, and the various committees are being proffered help on all sides. All the merchants will close their doors. The proceeds of the festival are to go to a fund for the erection of a clubhouse for the Women's ‘Club. A special rate has been made on the railroads for the day and it is expected that several .
