ANA STATE SENTINEL. WEDNESDAY MORNING. APRIL

OF broken limbs, although she fell full 60 feet.
She died from the horror of the shock and In
ternal injuries.
MR.. GILBERT.
The escape of Mr.. Gilbert, the baby show
man, was very similar in character TO that of
his friend Mr.. Miles, who did not succeed in
awakening him. Mr.. CT bert, whose room
was on the fourth fieor, awoke nearly suffo-
Gated with smoke after most of those in the
vicinity of his room had escaped. He thought
the fire something easily suppressed, and,
after raising the window TO admit fresh air,
retired again. The increasing smoke soon
compelled him TO rise again, when he hurried
out into the hall but partly dressed. There he
found all quiet save that one woman was
shrieking at the other end of the hall. He
called to her, "Come this way, J" but she did
not respond, and he could not hnd her. Sub
sequently he found his way down the stair
case and reached a place OF safety. The money
and valuables of Mr.. Gilbert were all in his
trunk and all lost. The story of his misfor-
tune became known among the mothers ex-
hibiting babies at Mercantile Library hall and
In consequence declined to receive the money
prizes, taking ribbon prizes instead.

This is the story of the Is year old boy,
Isaac n. Cox, who shot and killed his father
Deacon Alfred Cox at Bowdoin, Maine last
Friday night: Father and left the house
to 60 to church at about o'clock; we en-
tered the meeting house together; / stood
by the stove, which is near the door; he said
to me, Go forward did not; went out
and he followed me into the entry, when he
hold of my coat collar, but he had yerJ
sore hand, owing to a cut he had Just re-
ceived while at work at home. / slipped
out OF the coat, and, leaving 1t with
him, ran home; got the gun intending to
scare him; L took the gun and went into
the field and saw father coming up a rise; /
held the gun by my hip, and pointed it as
supposed so it would hit the ground before
it would reach father; father said, I am
shot, and staggered forward step or two
and squat down in q sitting posture; / ran
up to him and he told me to get him into
the house; tried to get him up but
could not; Mr.. Cox was q heavy man !;
| shouted for neither and she came run
ming out and seeing what had done, told
me to go and get Charles Maxwell, as he
was the nearest neighbor; he cameright
down and father breathed twice after he.got
there; we got him into the house and that is
all" When the boy shot his gun he was
not more than ten or fifteen feet away from
his father. They do not seem to have been
in the habit of getting on well together. On
a former occasion the father threatened to
horsewhip the boy, aud the latter replied
that If he did he would shoot him.

The San Francisco Bulletin of March Is
has the following on Chinese cousins and
their obligations: I'm the course of the evil
dence of a Chinese interpreter in the All
Moon murder trial to-day, the witness was
asked what was the application of the term
cousin as used by the Chinese. or, in other
words, what was the relationship existing
between Chinese calling each other cousin
He replied that all Chinese having the same
surname were cousins under the social laws
of China; that it made no difference from
what state or part of China they
hailed from. they called each other cousins,
and that this applied to the Chinese all
over the world. The witness was then asked
the question: IF these cousins did not
consider it not only their privilege, but their
duty to sustain each other, right or wrongf
He answered that they did Suppose said
the counsel, a member of TIE cousin family
by the name of Wing was killed by a MEM
Der of cousin family named Sung. would
not all the members of the Wing family be
obliged to pursue the Sung family until
they obtained revenge on one or the other Of
the members?' Yes, sir replied the wit
ness"

Abd-eI-Kader at Home.
[Damascus Letter - san Francisco Chr

lDamaScus Letter To san Francisco Chronicle
Abd-el Kader is "A years of age. His is
very serious face. His beard dyed raven
black, is worn in the fashion, pointed and
rather long. His hands are well formed, his
nails elegantly cut and stained with henna.
His bare feet were thrust into the loose vel
low oyershoe, such as are put off at mosque
doors. He wore a lemon colored sack with
the usual brown stripe, loose blue outer
robe lined with light blue silk There
was an inner sleeve of purplel: his
scarlet tarbOosh was encircled with large
white tnrban embroidered with threads Of
pure gold. The visit was evidently a bore to
him, yet he endured it bravely. He played
with soft white handkerchief embroidered
IN colors. drawing il through his fingers as
If 1T were a string of beads, blew his nose and
spat into it, cracked his knuckles. and sat
most oil, the time bowed over on his knees
Orange water thickened with snow was
offered as on our arrival, aud small cup of
coffee served at parting, but he apologized
fo- the non-appearance of the CUSTOMARY
pipe, as 1t CHANGED to be q day of absti-
hence.
He now gives his whole time to literature.
and is deeply interested in Arabian poetry:
says that the chief modern poets in that
tongue dwell in Damascus. His eyes, which
are inexpreslbly sad frightened as be
touched upon this theme but he soon re-
lapsed into a mood the image of hopeless
detection. His feeble smile betrayed the
absence OF two or three of the upper teeth.
All the fangs are gone, and the life of him
who was a terror wherever his name was
known has gone with them. The splendid
old ruin lives in his tattered and furnished
pavilion in The paradise of the Orient, and
and dreams away his life among the choicest
poets of his time. When his thirty-day fast
comes on he shuts himself in room so
small he can not even lie down in it, feeds
sparingly upon bread. leeks, and olives, and
sees no one during all the fast, not except
ing his wife.

BUSINESS TROUBLES.
L Millionaire Sued for s6OO-He
Makes an Exploration.

In the year 1872 Mr. John s. Eldridge, a
citizen of the United States was a resident
of London. He was gentleman of leisure,
frequenting the clubs and fashionable socie-
ty, and represented himself to be man of
wealth. Through Mr.. Scott Siddons, the
husband of the well known actress, Mr.. Ed
ridge became acquainted with Walter Web
ling, of the firm of Metcalf & Co., jewellers,
of 10 Cockspur street, Yves Etnd, and
opened an account with that house.
He bought largely of jewelry and articles of
luxury, a great deal of which was made on
his order, and among the purchases were
two lockets. 10 guineas each, which he pre-
sented to Mr.. Scott-Siddons for his wife, and
a large quantity of satin note paper. embel-
lished with his monogram. When Eldridge
left London among his unsettled bills was
that of Metcalf & Co., and after making re-
peated demands for the amount due them,
they received the following letter, written
on one of their sheets of satin paper:
READsvILLE, Mass, November 10, 1915.
Messrs Metcalf 4 Co., London:
GENTLEAEN-I must ask your pardon for
my long silence but since my return to Amer
lea the wheel OF fortune has turned rather
severely against me. / have by an accident
ost my right arm from which am still a
great sufferer. The Boston fire and the panic
of 1873 caused the stagnation Of all business,
me for rents, from which had constant
source ef revenue, have either caused them to
throw up their leases or sue for reductions OF
70 per cent. | hold In my safe to-day over
f36O OoO. or nearly 81 200 OOO Of paper which has
been protested, and the firms who gave 1t are
asking for an extension, which was COM
relied to accede to. Thus you may be able to
form some idea of the annoyances have been
put to since my return. OF the above, all Is
good, but IL will take time to work il out. l
will do everything to hasten an early settle
ment with your firm, and assure You that
principal and interest VIII be the reward OF
your patience.
Mr. Webbing who is now the proprietor
of the illustrated Sporting and Dramatic
News, 4S Strand, London, not caring to wait
for wonder working time, began an action
against Eldridge for the recovery of $61S. %
gold. and the suit was tried yesterday before
Judge Alker, in the marine court The de-
PENDANT, who is in California, did not put in
any testimony, his counsel relying on tech
nical objections. The jury found verdict
for the plaintiff in the full amount claimed.
