Many years ago man called Rem
wick Williams. but better known aS the
d" Monster" an artificial-fower maker
in Soho, was convicted at the Old Bal
ley of series of very extraordinary
and apparently motlvcleSs outrageS upon
women. He used to follow woman
along the street, and then drive bod
kin. or brad-awl, or penknife, or some
other small cutting instrument, through
her dress. lie never attacked his VIC
tins in the face or in any vital part.
and his conduct seems to have been the
result Of some morbid propensity TO
inilict pain and terror. Crime, We are
often told, repeats itself, and Renwick

up again in the peaceful borough which
has the honor of returning to Parlla-

The fort is on . mound, which Is in all
likelihood one Of the old Tapas. 1t
stands where the river forms a great
loop, and its position commands
the narrow neck, thus making the
peninsula formed by the loop Sc
cure piece Of ground, for the river Is
too deep for any attack TO be made
across it. A little above the fort the
lower Part of the piers of . bridge are
still visible; this would be, no doubt,
on the direct road from Herst 10 Balkh

turn journey, and We may take 1t that
this was the place. His donkey STUN

accident to dervish, who has no

one laughed at his misfortune. He had
one crumb Of luck in his misfortune,

most gallant and effective fight for him.
1t was agreed to recommend Judge

Cherokee Indians Dissatisfied.

An Indian Territory dispatch says ::
" In the Cherokee Nation there is de-
cided growing feeling in favor of dis
posing of the Cherokee strip of land by
an outright sale of their titles to the
lands and dividing the proceeds among
tho CherokeeS per capita. 'The-hold-
ing-in-trust plan, the advocates of the
measure say, has practically resulted
detrimentally to our interests, and the
situation of affairs in our distant pos
sessions just now warrants a speedy
settlement Of the question in that way
The present system Of leasing the
lands, it Is claimed, benefits the Indians
condition but little, and the disposal Of
the tract is the only way the people
will ever derive any great benefit from
that country. There are many i'm
portant questions before the Cherokee
people, and it is thought that Chief
Busyhead will call an extra session of
the national council early in May"

Billot to act for him. When the Chi
nese Government heard Of the fall of

slider the demand for a Tonquin credit,
keeping the new ministry ignorant of
the facts.
