A Remarkable RecInse.

The death of remarkable recluse is
reported to have occurred in the Grecian
monastery on Mount Athos, in Mace
donia. He was ninety. four years of age
at his death, and for sixty-eight years
had been an inmate of solitary cell,
from which he never emerged except to
attend chapel services morningand even
ing, and he there always provided him
self with food needed for the following
day. He passed his time in devotions and
in painting pictures of the Virgin which
the officials of the monastery then sold.
His body, pursuant to his wishes, was
buried before the door of his cell. The old
est amongst his brother monks could not
remember ever to have seen him receive
a communication or visitor from the out
side world For sixty-eight years he
was practically buried in the monastery.
He died with a reputation for grea.

The Sheikh ObeidOullah.


By no means groundless appear to be
the anxiety and alarm of the Porte at the
disappearance from Constantinople of
the old Sheikh Obeidoullah. He, it viii
be remembered. is the mighty chieftain
of the Kurls who, in 1880. organized
an army of his own relatives and de-
pendents, and invaded Persia. At first
no remonstrance was offered by the
Porte, and the Persian troops were
quickly put to rout by the Kurdish hord-
ers Having gone as far as the City of
Oroomiah and laid waste vast extent
of Persian territory, Obeidoullah leisurely
retired to his own land again, only to
begin preparations for a second expedi-
ton, with the avowed object of the con-
quest of Persia. At this juncture, how
ever. the Porte was prevailed upon by
Persia to interfere, and Obeideullah was
invited by the Sultan to visit Constanti-
nOple, ostensibly for the purpose OF con-
ferring about the proposed raid Once
there. however, he was given to Under
stand that he must stay there, and since
then. until his recent escape, he lived IN.

An Ingenious Thief.

ELIZABETH, N. J., July 12.-G.
w. Bennett, Janitor Of the State Ma
tional Bank, was arrested last night,
charged with robbery. He admitted
his guilt. His depredations covered
a period OF two years. During that
time two paying tellers resigned be-
cause they could not make their ac-
counts good. His method of robbery
was unique. He passed slender
cord from the cellar through hole in
the floor OF the counting room to the
back of the paving teller's desk.
This cord had a leaden sinker
gummed with wax at the end. The
sinker was dropped on $40, $50, OF
$50 bill and noiselessly withdrawn.

GUlTEAU AGAIN.
How Near He Came to Cheating the
Gallows-How Mrs. Scoyille Supplied
Him with Large Quantity Of Ar.

WASHINGTON, July Ion the
morning Of the hanging Of Guiteau
the announcement was made in these
dispatches that the prison officials
had discovered what they believed
to be traces Of arsenic in a bouquet
given the assassin by his sister, Mrs.
Scovilie. The bouquet was brought
to the Jail the day before the hang
ing, and was, in the absence of the
Warden, carried to Guiteau' cell by
a guard. AS soon as it was seen by
Deputy Warden Russ he ordered It's
removal, and the Jail physician, DR..
McWilliams, observing traces of
some white substance on the flowers,
carried it to the American Museum
for analysis. 1t is supposed that
Mrs. Scoyille intended to tell her
brother to eat some Of the flowers
but if she had such purpose it was
frustrated by the conduct of Gui-
teau, who became SO enragcd at the
fancied injury Of the Warden that he
raved and swore, and his sister was
not allowed to enter his cell or talk
with him privately.
a reporter conversed to-day with
DR.. w. c. Tilden, who is making an
analysis of the bouquet at the Medical
Museum and who was informed that
the examination showed beyond ques-
ton the presence of arsenic in large
quantities. The flowers were sub.
jected to what is known as the March
test, by which if solution containing
arsenic is added to solution in which
zinc is being dissolved in dilute sui
phuric acid, the nascent hydrogen re.
sulting from the decomposition of the
water becomes arseniuretted hydro.

gas against porcelain crucible de-
posts iridescent films of the meta

The doctors think, from the red
