Nearly every station in the Northwest reported sub-zero -weather ranging from 28 below at Quappelle, in the Canadian Northwest, to 2 below at Pierre, 8. D. In the Canadian North- twelve above west the drop in temperature was pre-| ceded by a blizzard, which piled the snow in great drifts and seriously de- layed railroad traffic.

The cat evidently entered the mine on the 100-foot level and blundered into the | shaft. 1In its fall it struck a cross beam | and was sent into the 3%-foot level, where | Heaston and his men were at work. The | ani rined its feet instantly and, | apparently uninjured by its great fall, | attacked the men. Taken by surprise, the miners scught 10 escape, but were cut off by the wildcat, Which held the mouth of the tunnel. Thé miners, recovering from their surprise, seized their picks and | drills and elosed on the intruder. The fight lasted several minutes before one | of the miners stunned the cat by a blow |from a drill. The men soon beat the life out of the animal. Except for a few minor scratches inflicted by the beast's claws the men were not injured. ACTRESS PATIENTLY WAITING FOR DEATH ife of Cousin of John Drew Fatally 11l in Denver Hospital. DENVER, Jan. 2L.—Almost wholly blind from the effects of disease and patiently awaiting the death that will come sud- denly and certainly within a short time, Mre. John E. Drew. known on the stage of America and England as Addie Col- lins, lies at Mercy Hospital in Denver. Yesterday the actors’ fund representa- no longer continue. John E. Drew, the husband of the dying actress, is now playing at the Crystal Theater and recently has seen his wife for the first time within, a year. He is a cousin of John Drew, the famous ac- tor, and when Miss Louise Drew was in this city recently with ‘‘The Virginian,” she remembered her cousin's sick wife in a substantial manner. The dying wife is confident that her husband will care for her, but his salary is not large and he will leave here soon with his company. B — Ship Loses Race Against Time.

Venezuela, under the Castro regime, has been an interesting problem, but the Monree doctrine, al- though necessarily involved in it, is so thoroughly understood by all the Euro- pean countries that the State Depart- ment expects no untoward action on the part of France. The most recent Franco-Venezuelan trouble began with the expulsion of M. Brun, the representative ‘of the | French cable company at Caracas, and Charge d'Affaires Taigny's protest against this action. Venezuela held that her position was correct und re- tused to treat further with the Fremch Government through M. Taigny. There then was a long period during which States Minister Russell, an open rup- ture was avoided. President Castro. by his dilatory tactics, angered the French Government and a fleet was sent to artinique. However, this indication f France's determination to push the | matter did not have the desired ef- fect. Then followed M, Talgny's ac- tion in boarding the steamship Martin- ique to obtain dispatches and the refus- al by the Venezuelan authorities to per- mithim to return ashore. Although tech- nically this was not a forcible expul- sion, it amounted to an act of hostility, | and M. Maubourguret, the Charge d'Af- | faires of Venezuela, was expelled from French territory. Three French war- ships are now off the Venezuelan coast and a naval demonstration is probable. DIPLOMATS EXPECT TROUBLE. From an interesting point of view Algeciras will divide attention with Venezuelg. At the beginning of the Morocecan conference the delegates so uniformly expressed themselves as for conservative action that much was hoped for the outcome, of the negotia- | tions. However, according to later ad- vices, extreme caution and lack of con- fidence have begun to destroy this fa- | | vorable atmosphere and a feeling of unrest is said to exist among the dele- | | gates of the less interested powers, | | who believe that trouble is in sight. The first point at issue is that of con- traband - agreements, after which will be considered the question of finances | of Morocco, so that the question of the organization of the Moroccan ;. | which involves the vital issue between = FRENCH ACTRE | THE COURTS GOODS OF AN DRCIDED SHE WAS TERPRISING FU WHO I8 NOW W EARING A $2000 SABLE CLOAK, WHICH ENTITLED TO FOR ADVERTIS RRIER.

PARIS, Jan. 21.—Thanks to a sensa- | tional law suit she has won, Mademoisetle | Carlier, one of the leadifig*actresses at the state theater, the Odecn, now finds herself endowed with a $2500 sable cloak also with the title of “the most deliclous/ chfld in the civilized world.” The title was not included in the verdict awarding her the coat and the costs. but, thanks to the | publicity of the evidence, the name prom- | ises to stick to her so as to outlast the coat. The furrier Max opened a new estab-| | lishment on the Place de la Bourse, and it occurred to him that nothing would advance his interests as much as some advertising with a photograph of a prom- inent actress in some garment from his stock. He selected Carlier, generally con- sidercd the prettiest actress in Paris, and she graciously consented to pose as an advertisement in a photograph to be pub- lished in the fashion papers and posted up in the theaters and music halls repre- senting her in a gorgeous sable cloak fall- ing to her feet, such as the Czarina would probably be enly too glad to have now that the usual fur supplies of the Russian imperial family are cut off. Max | himself was so delighted that he sent one | of the first copies to Carlier, bearing in his august hand the following remarkable inscription: “Happy that a small part of his house should surround Mademoiselle Madeleine | Carler, the mast delielous child of the civilized world, Max présents to her the first copy of these designs.” Madelelne- Carlier received the photo- | graph and the inscription with a pleasant | smile, which changed to a scowl, how- ever, som= s later when a bill came | in to her for 12,895 franes for a sable cloak supplied to her. | “I paid for it in advertising,” answered ‘arlier. “I had only lent it, and you failed to return it,” retorted Max. 8o they went to law. Max could not disclaim his autograph with the phrase that he was “happy that a part of his house should surround her," | whatever that might mean, and the case was decided against him. He appealed, and now for the second time the coat has been awarded to Carlier as a legitimate reward for her advertising. To support her case Carlier brought up curlous testimony from other actresses in regard to their connection with dress- makers. Rachel Launay of the Opéra Comique testified that whenever she was photo- graphed in a costume from a big dress- for which she did not pay one penny, and { + —t VOLCANO IN ERUPTION IN LOWER CALIFORNIA Las Verasgenes Throws Ashes Over the Town of Santa Rosalia.
