In circumstances somewhat remark
able bronze statue has been unveiled
OF Robinson Crusoe in the Scotch viii
lage of Largs, which, as everyone
does not know, gave birth to Alexan-
der Selkirk. The memorable features
of the day were-first, that statue
has been unveiled in Scotland without
the assistance of Lord R)sebery: and
second, that the Earl of Aberdeen,
who presided, made the surprising
confession that until he was invited to
be present at the ceremony ne had not
read Defoos immorisl work. Frature
one is, however, more astounding than
feature two: for it subsequently ap-
peared that the Earl of Aberdeen had
not read 'R Jbinson Crusoe" when 8

THE Iowa courts have made an i'm,
portsnt decision regarding the civil
rights of colered people. A negro
who was refused admission 10 place
of amusement because of his color
appealed 10 the law, when the Circuit
Court held that it did not appear from
the sverments that the plaintiff had
any legal right TO enter the place of
amusement The Supreme Court
afiirms this ruling and says: The
act complained Of by the plaintiff was
the withdrawal by the defendants, as
to him, of the offer which they had
made to admit him. or TO contract
with him for admission. They had
the right to do this, as TO him or any
other member of the public. This
right is not based upon The iact that
he belonged to a particular race, but
arises from the consideration that
neither he nor any other person
could demand rs a right under the
law that the privileg. of entering the
place be accorded to him.

Family Murdered.
This Time the Aged Mother is
Killed-A Series of Assas-
sinatiOns, the Perpe-
traitors of Which Can
Not be Found.

DETROIT, Jan. 5.-Mrs Elizabeth
Kaoch, mother of Frank Knoch, who
was murdered in Spring field on the
night of Dec. Is, with his entire fam
lily, and his house burned to hide the
crime. died udder circumstances which
suggested poisoning. A post NOR
tenn was held to-day, when to the sur
prise of the physicians 1t was found
that her skull was fractured by a
heavy blow which left no mark. 1t
was suspected that she aud her son,
Gustav, had some connection with
the former murder, aid the officers
had been expecting an ante-mortem
statement from the mother. who had
been confined at home with nervous
prostratlon, it is said, ever since she
was on the stand at the inquest OF the
victims OF the late tragedy.
This is the fourth suspicious death
in this family. The ia ther, Crlstian,
was found dead in his barn some
years ago, with cuts on his head, and
was said 10 have b:en killed by the
kick of horse. A brother Charles
disappeared two years ago this winter,
and his body was found in the river
the next spring, with marks OF
violence and chain about the body
from an unused pump on the Knoch
homestead; and last monta another
son, Frank, was killed, with his wife
and two babies, and the house burned
with the dead bodies in it. Suspicion
has turned to Gustav, and il is now
strengthened by the murder of the
mother, though no convicting evil
dence has been discovered. Another
brother is a half witted fellow, who
has been confined in an insane asy-
lum, and as uncle, Joe, has been for
years lunatic, though never con-
sidered dangerous.

ENGINEERS ORGANIZING A STRIKE.
New YORK, Jan, 5.-A meeting of
the elevated railway engineers was
aeld to night IN secret at which the
question of an immediate strike was
discussed. 1t is understood the meet
ing broke up at so and 1t was un-
derstood that strike had been order
ed to take effect on the Sd Avenue
elevated road with trains which leave
the city hall at 1905 a M.
IL quiry at the city hail station, on
the Third avenue line, at ESQ, devel-
oped the fact that all lights at the sta
ton were turned out, aud an employe
was found stationed al the foot of
each flight of stairs by which the sta
ton is approached. An order bv wire
from up town has been received di-
recting them turned out, and the
men at the stairway were instructed
to direct people to the main line at
Chatham square. 1t is stated tonight
that the company had proposed clos
ing Ninth and Second Ave lines to-
morrow, In order, 1t Is suggested,
that the tiremeu on those lines might
be used as engineers on the Sixth and
Third avenue lines in the avsut of
strike tomorrow. AT nidnight the
trains on the Sixth and Third avenue
nam lines were running regularly.
The station men say the regular engi-
neers are IN their cabs and that they
prof SIS to know nothing of an order
to strike.

Ir isap popular delusion that trichina
IS confined only to porl, when in fact
it Is found in the chicken, the sheep,
the OK, the horse, the dog, the cat,
the pigeon, the rabbit and the eel but
it is much more likely to be in pork
than in any other flesh common TO
the table. The rejection of pork as
the only flesh that contains the dan
gerous parasite, is therefore, a mis-
take. 1t is well to reject pork as a
regular diet where il can be done, as
II is the meat in common use that is
least healthiul and most dangerous in
the matter of trichiua; but whether
used sparingly or as the only diet,
it can be made harmless by thorough
cooking. Nearly every case of
trichina has occurred either in Ge:-
many or in German families in this
country, and it is explained by the
free use of pork in German sausages
which are not cooked sufficiently to
destroy the vitality of the parasites.
There is no more reason to reject
pork from the table now than there
has been for many thousands of years
past

Paris Morning News.

A curious case of infanticide was
tried at the last ass;zes at r. d Z. In
Augusta a young woman, carrying
the dead body of her infant, applied
at the marie of Monclar for the nee
essary burial order. The parish doc
tor, on examining the baby, found
bruises produced by fingers about the
meek. Questioned on the subject, the
applicant admitted haviHg slrangled
her infant. After careful inspection
of her hand, which was delicate and
with tapering fingers, the doctor en-
paatically denied her statement, and
she ended by confessing that the muir
der had been committed by the child's
father. The latter, a man named Bon
net, was arrested day Or two after
ward, and the marks on the baby's
neck exactly cor1esponded which
those of the prisoners fingers might
have produced Bonnet, who plead
ed guilty, was sentenced to six years

The popular notion that the inhab-
itants OF Chinese cities are given to
wholesome habits does not seem TO
be well founded. DR.. Dudgeon, in
recent work on the diet, dress, and
dwellings Of the Cainese, says that
the people have admirably adapted
themselves to their surroundings, and
enjoy a maximum OF comfort, They
have a good many lessons yet to
teach us in respect Cf livir e aud prac-
tical health" After an experience of
over twenty years with them, he says
that they are subj ect to fewer dis
eases arc more ameneble to treat
ment, and they possess a greater free
dom from acute and inflammatory
ifections of all kinds, if, indeed,
these can be said to exist at all, than
obtains among Western nations.

A High Born Chinese Girl.
London Figaro.

London society will be interested
next season by the presence Of Chi
nese young lady Of some II or IL sum-
mers. The Mongol maiden in ques-
ton is the daughter of the new Cal
nese ambassador to France and Eng
land, who, though now in Paris, will
be here early in the new year. This
daughter. fer whom he sent as soon
as he found his stay in Europe would
be probably prolonged one, arrived
in Paris week ago, and though, like
all Chinese girls OF high birth, only
able to walk, or rather "toddle," with
great difficulty on her compressed
ieet, is said to be most merry and
sprightly young lady, with large as
sortment of the most deliciously quaint
Chinese dolls, over which the Paris
ian ladies are going into ecestasi les.
