An Extraordinary Death.

William Ogden Jones, wealthy gen.
tlemaD residing with his wife and two
children at the corner of Broadway and
Fifty second street, died on Wednesday
morning under extraordinary circum-
stances. Mr.. Jones was 30 years os age,
and was the nephew of William B. Og-
den. He was engaged limo business, but
had an income of $4,000 year. Mr..
Jones has for two years been addicted to
an excessive use of liquors. Last Tues
day morning, while intoxicated, he went
into the bathroom, locked the door, and
turned on the hot water after lying down
in the bath-tub. He had been in the
room about ten minutes when his family
heard cries for assistance. They broke
open the door and found him submerged
in the water, having been unable to get
out of the tub or turn off the stream of
boiling water. He was rescued from his
perilous situation, and fingered in great
agony until the next day, when he ex-
pred His family were very anxious to
be spared the annoyance which would
ensue if the manner of his taking-off
were made public. They, therefore,
gave out that he died of congestion of
the lungs. Some rumors of the real
fact, however, reached the Coroner, and
he insisted upon an investigation and
elected these facts. 1t has been ru-
mored that the deceased, in a drunken
freak, resolved to commit suicide in this
manner, but the fact undoubtedly is
that he was too overcome with the stupor
of drink to help himself, and so boiled
to death. -NelC YOrE World

st. Petersburg and Moscow.

Between st. Petersburg and Moscow
there exists an antagonism of long stand
ing. Ever since its foundation st. Pc
tersburg has striven to be European
city, and to adopt all the products of
West European civilization. Moscow.
on the contrary, strives to be distinctive
ly Russian, and affects to look down on
her younger rival as half-caste parvenu.
Abandoned by the imperial family and
the administration, she glories in her an
cient monuments and her ancient spirit
and boasts that she still holds thefirst place
in the veneration and love of the Rus
sian people. All Muscovites are more or
less imbued with this Platonic hostility
to the capital on the Neva, and love to
reproach its inhabitants-th Ministers
and other official dignitaries not excepted
with gross ignorance of Russia and the
true Russian character; but when they
come to discuss the present and future
of their country, they are by no means
unanimous. -London Examiner.

TREASURE OF ISLAM.
A Chest Which Has Not Been Opened for
Four Hundred and Fifty Years


Mr.. Delaplaine, the Charge d. Affaires
of the United States at Vienna, furnishes
to the Department of State the following
interesting information concerning re-
markable war resource of Turkey-the
so-called "Treasure of Islam"
"The Sheik- ul-Islam has recently sent
n delegation of doctors of the law to the
Sheriff of Mecca, direct descendant of
the Prophet, for the purpose of demand
ing funds to be applied in defense of the
Islam faith. 1t is customary on these
solemn occasions for the Sheriff to assem-
bic the College of the Elders charged
with the guard of the Prophets tomb,
which will decide upon the appropriate
sum to be furnished to the Sultan from
the treasure of Islam in order to aid him
in the war against Russia. This treas
ure is formed from those annual offer
ings of the pilgrims which are accumu-
lated in the Kasbah of Mecca. These
sepulchers, which serve as offertory
chests, are placed within the court of
the mosque Each pilgrim daily casts
into one of these coin as an offering,
which constitutes the aims prescribed by
the Koran as one of the essential elements
of the merit of the pilgrimage, which
every Mussulman should make at least
once in his lifetime, to the tomb of the
Prophet. Accordingly every year about
100 900 pilgrims come to Mecca, who So
journ there month; consequently a
sum of at least 3, 900, 600 francs are annu-
ally received in the offertory chests.
Every pilgrim deposits in fact an offer
ing varying in amount according to his
means, but which in the average may be
estimated as equivalent to 5 francs at
least for every day, considering that
there are rich Mussulmans whose offer
ings attain the amount of 00,00C france
during their pilgrimage. 1t results here
by that the chief of Mecca receives on
the average the value of 1000, 900 francs
in annual offerings. One of the offertory
chests was opened during the period of
the Russo Turkish war in 1923. Several
large sums were withdrawn, but it was
afterward again closed. A second chest
was again opened in 1854 during the
Crimean war, but the third has not been
opened since 1415, during a period of
now 462 years. Inasmuch as the annual
concourse of pilgrims has rarely fallen
below 100000, it is conjectured that
with most liberal allowances the accumu-
lation of money in the last-named offer
tory chest cannot be less than $50, 900, 600
francs, and it is fully believed that the
total amount of the treasure of Islam
will exceed 600, 900, 600 francs, and even
attain much higher sum-"

An Aged Journalist.

cold men live in the past. My past
was connected with the press. My life
from 1911 to 1868 was passed as an APP
prentice, iourneyman, publisher, and
editor in printing offices. These occu-
pations were eminently congenial. Sixty
six years of constant labor were cheered
by aspirations which were gradually but
ultimately realized. Industry and fidelity
were, under the guidance of a kind Provi-
dence, abundantly rewarded. And now
in the evening of life, my chief employ
ment consists in remembrances of the
stirring events with which l have been
connected, and of the army of patriots
and devoted friends of whom cherish
agreeable recollections - recollections
saddened only by the reflection that most
of them have passed away. When L
published my first newspaper at Nor
wich, Chenango county, there were about
sixty journals in the State. OF their
proprietors my friend Lewis H. Red
field, of Syracuse, is the only survivor. "
So wrote Thurlow Weed to the New
York Press Association Convention.

A Remarkable Case.

One of the most singular cases in the
annals of criminal law has lust been
decided by Judge Bingham of the Com
mon Pleas Court of Columbus, Ohio.
Some years ago Mrs. Sarah M. Victor
was convicted in the Court of Cuyahoga
county, Ohio, of murder in the first de-
gree, having poisoned her brother, and
was sentenced to be hanged. The sen.
tence was committed by the Governor to
Imprisonment for life. Since that time
Mrs. Victor has been confined in the
Ohio penitentiary. The prisoner grew
tired OF life under such circumstances,
and spent the hours, many of them in
solitary confinement, in constant Weep
lug. In January, 1876, she made an APP
plication to the courts to have the origi-
nal sentence carried out, on the ground
that she had not consented to the COM
mutation. The case was without paral-
lei in history, and presented itself to the
court in the shape of very knetty prob
lem. Judge Bingham, after having the
matter under advisement for eighteen
months, rendered an opinion, holding
that Mrs. Victor is, in law, an escaped
prisoner after conviction, and issued mn
order TO the Sheriff for her delivery to
the authorities of Cuyahoga county to
await action by the court of said county.
Attorney General Little, legal adj
wiser of the Warden of the penitentiary,
subsequently made an application to the
Supreme Court for leave to file petition
in error, which was granted, and stay
of vacation Of Judge Bingham's decision
was ordered until the case can be finally
heard. Mrs Victor will accordingly re-
main in the penitentiary for the present.
The opinion of high legal talent is to the
effect that Judge Bingham's order will
not be sustained by the Supreme Court.
The case excites great interest in Ohio.

acknowledgements Receipts.

The receipts of internal revenue for
the fiscal year ending the Both of June,
reach $119,000,000. Last year they
were Sill, 100000. The increase of
81, 900, 600 is largely owing to the break
ing up of illicit distilling and to the
more vigorous collection of the whisky
tax. The estimate of receipts for the
present year was $120, $1,000. This
sum, the Commissioner thinks, would
have been exceeded by about 81, 600, 900
if it had not been for the uncertainty oc-
casioned by the proposition of Congress
to reduce the tax ON spirits. Themanu-
facturers curtailed their production and
withdrew from bond only such quanti-
ties as were actually required by the de-
mand. This policy, pursued for two or
three months, resulted in serious loss to
the revenue. = Washington Cor. Neao

Treatment Of n Horse.

Three weeks ago gentleman of this
city purchased fine high-bred mare in
Boston, and, as she was being led to the
depot in that city, she became frightened
and started at full speed, coming in con-
tact first with horse car and next with
a doctors chaise, and fell with great
violence upon the pavement, receiving
severe bruise upon the top of the head,
which would not heal. A Prussian ply
stefan, well known for his love of the
equine race, was consulted. Upon max
ing careful examination of the wound
he was satisfied that some foreign sub
stance was keeping the wound open, and,
in order TO remove it, it was necessary to
make large incision. The foreign sub
stance was found to be part of the
skull fractured and driven in upon the
brain, the piece being about as large as
the first joint of mans thumb. This
was removed by strong pair of dental
forceps, and it was found necessary to
chip off with small chisel and mallet
other small points of injured bone, and
also to remove, with large file, the
rough edges of the wound in order
that it might readily heal. When
the larger piece of the bone was removed
small part of the brain came out also.
What appears the most remarkable in
this case, the animal made not the slight
est resistance, but kept perfectly quiet,
except slight nod of the head when the
chisel was struck. 1t appeared as if she
thoroughly comprehended what was be-
ing done for her relief. The animal is
now recovering. PrO3,idence journal.

Obituary-RObert Dale Owen.

Robert Dale Owen, of New Harmony,
Ind, whose death occurred few days
ago, has been known for many years as
an American author, but was, in fact,
born in Glasgow, Scotland, being the
son of Robert Owen, an English Social
Reformer, whose place of nativity was
North Wales. Robert Dale came to
America in 1923, accompanied by his
father, and first became known as a
writer while editing a weekly news
paper, the Free Enquirer, started in
New York by him, in 1923, and which
lived three years. Since that time his
home has been in New Harmony, from
which place he was sent to the Indiana
Legislature as a Representative three
terms, and twice to Congress, rs a Dem
ocrat, serving from 1S43 until 1S47. Al
ter this he devoted himself to writing,
and issued numerous works, mostly
upon subjects of reform, national and
social. Becoming a believer in the
phenomena of Spiritualism, Mr.. Owen
devoted the closing years of his life to
that subject up to two or three years
since, when he became insane, and was
sent to private asylum. Recovering
after several months of confinement, he
again returned home, but abstained as
much as possible from dwelling upon
the subject which is supposed to have
caused his mental malady. His health
broken. death soon followed

One Mans Life,

Mr.. Morgan, an Englishman of 107
years of age, celebrated his last birthday
at the Star and Garter, Richmond, sur
rounded by sixty-seven of his posterity,
which numbers 102 in all. Mr.. Morgan

his speech on Cancellation with Amer

ming the last page of "The Decline and
Fall f" at Lausanne. Four generations of
statesmen have, during his life, success

The Anti.Turkish Beach.

This is the image in Mr.. Gladstone's
speech at Birmingham which the Lon
don Spectator says is finer than any
known in modern history. He is speak
ing of the Armenians, the Bulgarians
the Servians, and the Greeks who re
sisted and broke the force of the Turk
ish inundation which centuries ago
threatenedto overflow Europe, and says:
"They were like q shelving beach which
restrained the ocean. That beach, it is
true, is beaten by the waves; it is laid
desolate it produces nothing; it be-
comes, perhaps, nothing but mass OF
shingle, of rock, of almost useless sea-
weed but it is fence behind which
the cultivated earth can spread and es-
cape the incoming tide; and such was,
against the Turk, the resistance of Bull
garians, of Servians, of Greeks-a re-
sistance in which one by one they sue
cumbed, with the single exception of the
ever-glorious mountaineers OF Montene-
gro, who have never succumbed. 1t was
that resistance which left Europe able to
claim the enjoyment OF her own liberty,
and to develop her institutions and her
laws"

Nice Pets.

Two black eagles were recently caught
in the mountains north of Santa Barbara,
Cal. The sportsman waited until he saw
the parent birds sailing down the valley,
and then robbed the nest, which was
thirty feet above ground, and was built
of sticks as thick as a mans wrist. With
some difficulty he secured the young
birds, then about three weeks old, and
of the size of large chickens. He got
down before the old birds returned.
When the captives were six weeks old
they could dispose of jack-rabbit at a
meal without indigestion. A coyote
visited the house and destroyed all the
chickens. The eagles were then placed
in the chicken-pen, and on the next morn
ing the coyote returned to get some
more chicken. One of the eagles en-
gagged him in combat, and held him
with its talons until the sportsman heard
the outcries and shot the thief. The
full-grown birds of this rare species
measure eight feet from wing to wing,
and are four feet high.

Terrible Hatred.

A horrible story of mans inhuman ha-
tired for fellow-creature comes from
Maysville, Ky. Levi Ball had furnished
the family of James G. Owens with sup
plies to the amount of 5000, and, finding
it impossible to collect, brought suit.
Recovering n verdict, he levied on
Owens property, which was released on
a claimants bond, and on that Ball also
secured judgment. These various
proceedings aroused Owens to pitch of
madness, and he swore to kill Ball.
Every insult he could devise he cast
upon his prospective victim to win some
provocation, and finally he solemnly as
serted his intention of pouring the con-
tents of his shotgun, which he had
charged with forty slugs, into Balls sys-
TEN. A few days ago he met Ball and
commenced his abuse again, whereupon
Ball fired four shots, MORALLY wounding
his vindictive enemy. On his death-bed
Owens went into commissions at the sug-
gestion that ne must die before killing
the object of his hatred, and when he
recovered he exacted with his dying
breath solemn oath from his 17-year-
old son that he would never rest until he
had sent Ball to his grave. Upon the
trial of Ball for the shooting, he was
promptly acquitted.

he took down from its shelf volume
containing a law forbidding a Congress-
man to receive gifts under such circum-
stances. The donors of the dressing
gown were abashed; but the Senator
took the gorgeous garment and delicately
minated that, if they wonld allow him
to pay for it, the matter would be adj
iusted, and he would be all the same
very much obliged.

of their gratitude. When they came to

say, he has not made much money late
