It has all been apropos of the celebration in Spain of the ter- centenary of Cervantes, the author of “Don Quixote.” The 900 convicts, who are inmates of the house of detention at Ocana, evidéntly know their “Don Quixote” by heart, for they recently suggested to the Government that it would be an appropriate act of clem- ency to mark the tercentenary by give ing them their freedom, and quoted a passage from Cervantes’ masterpiece in support of their argument. This passage < that which relates how the Don himself delivered a number of galley-slaves from custody becau he remarked to Sancho Pan seemed to him an act of cruelty to en- slave those whom God and nature had made free, and he did not think it right that honorable men should be the ex- ecutioners of their fellow creatures.” But if the convicts showed them- selves well up in their “Quixote,” the authorities proved themselves not less familiar with the romance. They de- nied the ingenuous request and called the petitioners’ attention to the sequel of the story, which relates that the convicts had no sooner got their liberty than they turned upon their benefactor and, to his great astonishment, robbed him of all his valuables. ENRICHED BY NOVEL. From “Jorn UhlL”™ the novel which has made so great a sensation in Ger- " many and which has just been trans- lated into English, its author, Gustave Frenssen, has received $62,500, which is a record in the Fatherland. Over 180,- 000 copies of the romance have been nd Frenssen is at work on a new which he expe to finish in the of the year. Its scene, like that Jorn UhlL” is laid in its author's of native Schleswig-Holstein, and the title will be “Aus Einer Kleinen Stadt.” After publishing *“The Marriage of William Ashe” Mrs. Humphry Ward remained in England just long enough to see what the reviewers thought of her work, and to attend the rehearsals of her play “Agatha,” which Beerbohm Tree produced at a matinee, and then left for Florence with her husband. The Wards have now taken a villa, called “La Fontenelle,” at Careggl, close to the city of the Medicis, and are planning to live there for aevernl’ months. WHERE ALFRED IS BURIED. Americans are to be afforded an op- portunity to contribute te a fund be- ing raised for the preservation and ex- cavation of the site of thé ancient Hyde Abbey, where the bones of Alfred the Great were interred. The property has recently been acquired by the eity | of Winchester, and a committee, which | includes the Marquis of Winchester, has been formed to push forward a | work which, it is expected, will brin, to light many precious relics of the lat- ter Saxon period. The abbey owed its foundation to| Alfred. He purchased the site with the intention of erecting a monastery there, but death overtook him before he had time to carry out the work, and | it was left to his som, Edward the: Elder, to fulfill his wish. Shortly after | the consecration of the church Alfred’s | remains, which had been given a tem porary resting place at the old church | | of 8t. Swithin, were buried there. Soon afterward the body of his wife, Queen Aelswith, was interred there. His two | sons were also buried there and in sub- | sequent‘ years several members of the | BSaxon royal house. In 1109 the site of the abbey was ! changed and most of the royal bones | morning. WIND'S VICTIMS ARE INTERRE dred Persons Killed by Tor- nado Buried in Snyder CARLOADS OF COFFINS| Heavy tainstorm Adds to Misery of Those Who Es- caped Death in Big Storm SNYDER, Okla., May 12.—Nearly one hundred corpses were-buried here last’ night and to-day, removing the most grewsome evidence - of the, tornado which nearly destroyed the town Wed- nesday night. None of the injured died during the night. Some of them have been kept alive only by the skillful ef- forts of physicians and nurses work- ing in the Emergency Hospital. As soon as daylight came people were at work getting ready to perform the last rites for the dead. Three carloads of coffins arrived dur- ing the night from Oklahoma City, to- gether with a dozen undertakers from the convention of undertakers in session there. Workmen also came in on a special train furnished by the Frisco Railroad, and the work of burial was carried on with the utmost dis- patch. During the morning a heavy rain came up and rendered operations dif- ficult. The floor of the morgue wag covered with water. - Most of the build- ings that remained standing admitted streams of water through the roofs, and the temporary hospital, where the injured remained, leaked like a sieve, wetting 2 number of the patients. The rain, which was accompanied by some wind and hail, served to frighten the residents, but those who were able kept bravely at work through the water and mud, caring for their suffering in- jured and burying their dead. Several of the newly made graves were filled with waser. Two more injured were discovered under some debris early in the morn- | ing, but neither was idehtified. They | were pinioned under a house beam. One, a man, was delirious, and the | other, a boy, was unconscious. { Owing to the failure to keep any records at the outset, there haS been | great difficulty in securing an accurate list of the number of dead. In the list furnished on Thursday afternoon but few -alterations have been made. The two or three bodies that have been found since have not been identified. Respondes of a generous nature have been made by many cities and towns in the Territory, several thousand dol- lars’ worth of food and clothing hav- ing been sent in and placed in charge of the local committee for distribu- tion. ¥ During the day complaints were rhade to the City Marshal that bodies of the dead had been robbed by van- dals and he issued an order that badges must be worn by every per- son in town. The order was accom- panied by a warning that those who | refused to wear the badges must go to jeil or leave on the first train. i The engineering corps, a division of the Oklahoma National Guard, arrived from Lawton during the afternoon and went into camp. It is presumed that the mission of the company is to as- sist in preserving order and protect- | ing property. One of the most remarkable phases of the disaster Is the great percentage of killed or seriously wounded. There were remarkably few minor injuries in proportion to the dead, and the killed exceed 10 per cent of the total popula- tion of the town. The number of dead as near as can be ascertained is nine- ty-five. To-night there are few unburied bod- | ies left, and interment will be. com- pleted in the morning. The citizens will then turn their attention to the erection of suitable habitations for the living, many of whom are now com- pelled to live practically with no shel- ter, while buildings that are habitable are filled to overflowing. A second ap- peal has been sent out by the local committee stating that food and cloth- ing have been received in abundance, but the necessity for materials to build homes for the homeless is pressing. It is thought that about twelve or fifteen of the most seriously injured will dle. GUTHRIE, O. T., May 12.—A terrific wind and hailstorm struck Marlow, In- dian Territory, to-day. Many business houses were damaged. Light structures were demolished and great damage to residence property is reported. The Catholic church was lifted from its foundation. Two children were seri- ously injured. It is estimated that the property loss will amount to over $30,000. >4 OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.,, May 12.— A severe hail, wind and rainstorm visited Marlow, Duncan, Rush Springs and Chickasha, Indian Territory this At Marlow about a dozen mall houses were blown down and a few substantial structures were un- oofed. One family was quite seriously urt by the collapse of a small house. No damage was done at Rush Springs. At Chickasha the, damage done by hail and water was considerable. HUNTINGTON, W.

PORTLAND, Or., May 12.—The FORTY KILLED AT ZATOM Private Reports Add to { the Estimates of the Num- | ber of Jewish Victims 'STERN WARNING'POSTED Troops Will Shoot Down Any Persons Molesting the .- Hebrew Residents { ST. PETERSBURG, May 12.—Some " private reports from Zhitomir place | the number of persons killed as high as forty. The Governor of Volhynia has caused the streets of Zhitomir to | be placatded with notices to the effect that the troops have received instruc- tions to fire upon any persons inter- fering with the Jews. The Official Messenger's account of : the Zhitomir outbreak attributes it to | the provocative .attitude of the Jews, ! who, it adds, used a portrait of the ! Emperor as a target in shooting prac- tice and committed many assaults | upon Christians in the streets. The officlal account of the disorders {at Zhitomir says that a genéral mas- | sacre was prevented only by the en- ergetic measures taken by t au- | ! thorities. It attributes the ottbreak {largely to the situation created by the. | Jews and revolutionary agitators, cit- | Ing the fact that on April 22 800 armed |Jews assembled in the State forest near Zhitomir for target practice and used a portrait of the Emperor - as a targét. When the peasants, attracted by the firing, protested against this use of the Emperor’s portrait, the Jews explained that ; the Israelites would soon govern Russia. A few days later & Jew struck a Christian boy of 15 years, who used a penknife to defend himself. He was immediately sur- rounded by a crowd of threatening Jews and was only rescued by the po- | lice. Still later while several Jews, sentenced for political erimes, were be- ing conveyed to prison, their co-relig- fonists made a demonstration, loudly cursing the Emperor. In another in- stance the Jews set upon a Christian who had entered the Jewish quarter, covering him with mud and beating him. They also fonced several shops to close. The official statement con- cludes as follows: The Minister of, the Interior has also re- celved news of other cases in which Jews have insulted and even beaten women. The Christians are greatly incensed and excited. Besides this the soclal revolutionists have | There are two classes of remedies: those ‘nf known qual- ity and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting gently, in harmony with nature, when natureneeds assist- ance ; and another class, composed of preparations of unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting tempo- rarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural J functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of the remediesof known quality and excellence is the ever & pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California < Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of ) plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasantsyrup, in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con- tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy . of all remedies to sweeten and refreshandcleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming consti- pation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active princi- ples and quality are known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience thatitis a most excellent laxative remedy. We donot claim that it will cure all manner of ills,but recommend it for what it really %/ represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence, s containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. There are two classes of purchasers: those who are informed as to the quality of what they buy and the reasonsfor the excellence of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, § and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect its beneficial effects if they do not get,the genuine remedy. To the credit of the druggists of the United States be it said that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional \ integrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer imitations of the Genuine— Syrup of Figs manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., and in order to buy the genuine article and to get its beneficial effects, one has only to note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printedon the front of every package.

LONDON, May 9.—Under the su- pervision of Dr. William J. Holland, director of the Carnegle Institute of Pittsburg, the work of assembling the great diplodocus presented to the natural history branch of the British Meseum by Andrew Carnegle is com- ing to a rapid conclusion. The head, neck and enormous tail of the reptile are now practically complete, and the larger bones of the body are in position. “From head to tip of tail the skeleton measures about 80 feet, and it will be the largest specimen of a reptile in Great Britain. Carnegie has fixed May 12 as the date of the formal presentation, when he will be here to hand over his gift to the British nation. The Prince of Wales has intimated his desire to be present and it is possible that he will receive the skeleton on behalf of King Edward. Should his Royal Highness not be able to attend the presentation ceremony Lord Avebury (Sir Joha Lubbock) will act in his stead. Invi- tations for this ceremony have been sent to men eminent in selence all over Great Britain, and the affair is certain to be of great social and scien- tific interest. Dr.' Holland is as widely known among scientific men in Europe as in the United States. He is a Fellow of the Zoological and Entomological So- clety of London, a member of the En- tomological societies of Germany and France, and an authority of high standing. Since his arrival in London the doctor has addressed a number of scientific meetings, among them a meeting of thé Zoologicrl “Society, where his reception was particularly cordial. —_——— CUT WORMS ATTACK THE ORANGE ORCHARDS Thousands of Acres of the Finest Groves in Southern California Are Threatened.
