He was no sooner finished talkigg with one than another took the vacdnt place. One of them brought him a box of cigars and friendship. Smith sald he spent a miserable | ing he was changed to another cell, where he has more light and comfort. He did not care to talk about the | shooting, but saild he had acted in self- defense. McGowan had knocked him | | down two or three times and he was afraid McGowan and James Beatty would seriously injure him, as they | had threatened him several times. They wanted, he said, to drive him out of the place. Beatty had been cursing him from early morning. He thor- oughly realizes the gravity of his posi- tion and says he hopes the law of- | ficers will not be too hard on an old n. He claims that he must have pulled the trigger -unintentionally in | h1s excited state. Sergeant Melody, one of the desk sergeants at the City Prlson, said yes- tnrd,n that he had known Smith for | nearly thirty vears. His first acquaint- | {ance with him was when he went to | serve a warrant,upon him on a charge of battery. The complaining witness | was with him the complainant he promptly attacked | him again. Melody cited the circum- stance to show that Smith had a vio- lent temper when aroused. Smith will appear in the Police| Court this morning, but the case will be continued pending the Coroner’s in- | quest, which will be held in a day or | two. i ——————— PRESIDENT AND PARTY DEPART FROM THE FAIR Special Train Pulls Out of the Ex- position Grounds Just After Midnight.

BERLIN, Nov. 27.—Ruggiero Leon- cavallo is superintending, by invita- tion of Emperor William, the re- hearsal of his new opera, “Roland of Berlin,” which Emperor William commissioned him to compose six years ago. It will be produced De- cember 12 at the Royal Opera-house. The story of the opera deals with the dispute of a Brandenburg Prince with the Mayor of Berlin over the jurisdiction of the city. The first production of a farce en- titled “New York” has taken place here, with Adolf Phillips in the lead- ing role. Some of the journalistic critics treat the succession of sketches of Bowery life as interpreting Ameri- can political gand social conditions and take the opportunity to express re- gret at the existence of onium dens and cynical New York policemen.

After hearing the doc- tor’s op‘nion of the case, Mr, de Rome | said: 1 "I have not vet decided just what | ccurse to pursue in regard to the stu- dents concerned in the hazing of my son, but I have begun an investigation and do not intend to allow the guilty ! students to escape.

Woman Living in Neighborhood ! of the Affiliated Colleges. 1 The police at the park station were | very much surprised yesterday when 1 little boy, Donald Park of 850 Clay- ;mn street, walked into the station | | carrying a human hand. When ques- tioned by the officers he said that Wal- | ter Morton of 851 Clayton street had |shown him where the hand was buried {in a lot on the west side of Tremont avenue, south of Frederick street. The two boys dug up the hand and hid it |in a clump of bushes, thinking they | might make some use of it, but after- lv\a.rd concluded it would be better to turn it over to the police. | The boy sald that the hand was | found by Mrs. Devant, 834 Clayton street, on her front stoop, about two weeks ago. Mrs. Devant went shop- ping at about 11 o’clock in the morn- ing and on her return found the severed member on her steps. Instead of notifying the police she buried it in the lot back of her house, and the ‘hr,ys. thinking they might make some capital of it, dug it up yesterday. The police believe the hand was | thrown on the stoop by a student re- ! turning from the Affiliated Colleges. It was brown and winkled, as though it had been in pickle, and also bore evidence of having been dissected. It is a right hand and the long, tapering fingers indicate that it was the hand of a woman. { s | i SCHOOL OF MINES PLANNED | i BY THE l«‘AIR MANAGEMENT | Portland Exposition Will Contain One of the Most Complete Mineral Exhibits Ever Shown.

As a general rule these matters are taken up at the league meeting, but as the race is so close this year Bert will decide at onee. Japanese Well Prepared. We learn that five years before the war began the Japanese commenced sending coolies by the hundreds into Manchuria, with instructions to live with the Chinese therein, fraternize with them and be in position to fur- nish true information when war be- gan to the Japanese and false advices to the Russians. The secrecy which the Japanese commanders have been able to maintain as to tNe movements of their army—a secrecy that Kuro- patkin has over and over again acknowledged himself to be unable to illumine—shows how admirably the Japanese efforts in this direction have been applied and how complegely they were prepared for the campaign they knew to be a question only of months or years.—Cleveland Leader. —_———————————— EAST OAKLAND SEWER DAKAGED — Qakland, Nov. 27.—The new storm sewe Bast Fourteenth street has cracked for a dtl- tance of 327 feet. Superintendent of Streets F. Ott says that the sewer can be re- paired by puttink & band of cement over the cracked pipe. League stated last night that he would | interview Manager Butler of the Port- | Prince Adalbert of Prussia. Prince Adalbert of Prussia, having spent some eighteen months in the China sea as sub-lieutenant on board | the cruiser Hertha, is now to return to Europe via the United States, travel- |ing by ordinary passenger steamer from Japan. He is said to be a tall, well set up young fellow, who presents many traits of resemblance to his un- cle, Prince Henry, in his complete ab- sence of affectation and in his simplicity of manner. Destined to become in course of time the lord high admiral of the imperial German navy, he has already seen a good deal of the world, and at St. Petersburg, at Rome, at Con- stantinople and in England, in fact, in every foreign country or capital that he has visited, he has created an excel- lent impression. He Is still quite a lad, being just 20 years old. —_————— Fountain Head for Fountain Peus.
