MURDERED IN AFRICA.
The Story of Bishop HanningtOn's Mar
tyrdOm.

The diary of Bishop Harrington,
who was put to death by order of
King Mwanga of Uganda, Africa, has
been published, giving the details of
the last weeks of his life. He describes
the arrival of his party at Lubwas,
where the chief at the head of a thou
sand troops demanded 10 guns and
three barrels of powder. The chief
asked Bishop Harrington to remain
with him for day and the latter COM
piled. While taking walk the bishop
was attacked by about 20 natives. He
struggled with his assailants, but be-
came weak and faint and was dragged
violently long distance by his legs,
when his prosecutors stripped and
robbed him and imprisoned him in a
noisome hut full of vermin and decay
ing bananas. While he was lying
there, ill and helpless, the chief and
his 100 wives came out of curiosity to
feast their eyes on him. On the next
day he was allowed to return to his
own tent, where though still ill, he felt
more comfortable. He was still guard
ed, however, by the natives. He re-
days, parties of the chiefs wives out
OF lule curiosity coming daily 10 see
him. He was allowed to send mes
sages to his friends, but he believes
they were intercepted. On the sew
enth day he writes that the fever con-
tinued that at night the place swarm
ed with vermin, that the guards were
drunk and noisy and that he was I'M
able to sleep. At last he became de-
lirious. On the eighth day, October
%, he was conscious. His entries on
this day are brief: "NO news. A ny
ena howled all night, smelling IA sick
man. Hope he will not have me yet"
This is the final entry. 1t is believed
that shortly after writing this he was
taken out and put to death. Through
out the week there are frequent entries
referring to the comfort he derived
from reading the psalms.

How Newspapers are to Succeed.
Philadelphia Times.

The newspaper of today must stand
or fall solely on its own merits. Its
circulation and its value to business as
an advertising medium, like the quail
ty of its contents, are practically visi-
BILE to the whole intelligent reading
public, and it is judged by other con-
sideratiOns than regulation figures of
copies printed or bOastful references to
its literature. Whether many or few
read public journal of any popular
pretensiOns, is as well known to the
public as it is to the publisher and
whether intelligent and thrifty people
are its readers, or whether the idle
wOrshipers of RIGHTEOUSNESS most wei
come it, is always judged by all whose
favor is of value to legitimate journal
ism. The successful newspaper of to-
day and of the future, is the public
journal that trusts the intelligence of
newspaper readers that avoids fool
ish controversy; that gives all the
news in the freshest and most reliable
shape that stamps integrity in every
column of its pages, and that advances
with the matchless progress of the best
civilization and the best government
of the earth.

AN OLD FASHIONED ROBBERY.

An Adams express car was last week
robbed of at least $4,000 somewhere
between ST. Louis and Pacific, Mo.
just before the train pulled out of St.
Louis a man giving his name as James
Cummings approached the express
messenger FOtheringham and handed
him letter bearing Il perfect fac-slm-
lie of the signature of Mr.. Barrett, the
local route agent of the express cOmpa-
ny. The letter stated that Mr.. Bar
rett had decided to put an extra man
on the route, that the bearer was he
and that Mr.. FOtheringham was di-
rected to teach him the details of the
business. The stranger was allowed
to remain on the car and took great in
terest in all the movements of the
messenger, apparently desiring to
learn quickly the ms and outs of the
duties which the latter stated he was
expected to perform. The messengers
suspicious were not at all aroused and
the stranger impressed him as quiet
and prepOssessing companion.
The two men busted themselves with
the accounts until the new assistant
was informed that there was nothing
more for him to do. So he cOOlly sat
down behind Fotheringham, took out
IL revolver, and when the messenger
turned to go to the safe, ordered him
to make no noise or move at the peril
of his life. The messenger did as in
structed and Cummings bound him
hand and foot, put gag in his mouth,
tied him to the safe and locked all the
doors. The safe had been left open
and the rObber helped himself. He
seized upon all the gold and jewelry
and bank notes he could find, but left
the silver after cutting open the bags,
as it was too heavy for him to carry.
Then he stepped upon the car plat
form, locked the door behind him and
jumped from the train. 1t was over
two hours after that FOthcringham
and the robbery were discovered by
the conductor, who happened to hear
the messenger kicking the sides of the
car with his feet and burst open the
door. Fotheringham was quickly re-
leased, but as the rObber had a two
hours start it was useless to go back
after him. The express company is
reticent, but admits the loss of at least
$4,000. jim Cummings, the name
given by the rObber, is the only mem
Der of the notorious James gang who
was never accounted for, and this is
believed to be the man.

go B. c., and stood with a leg extend
ed on each side of the entrance to the

Apollo and is variously estimated to
have been 80 feet, 80 cubits and even
los cubits high. A flight of winding
stairs led to the top. An earthquake

made statue of Minerva 80 feet high

Athene at Athens, the plume of whose
helmet and the point of whose spear,
like Liberty's torch, were land marks

forum one of Nero in marble fully 100

The Jones County Calf Case.

The famous Jones county calf case
has just been disposed of by the SUI
preme court of Iowa. This is one OF
the most remarkable cases on the rec
ords of American courts, and furnishes
striking illustration of what an ex-
pensive luxury little satisfaction Oh
tanned in IA legal form may prove to be.
Twelve years ago Green county far
mer went to Jones county and bought
some calves of IA man named Johnson.
They were probably stolen, but John
son claimed to have bought them from
a third party. Johnson was prOsecut-
ed by the Anti-HOrse Thief associa-
ton, but was acquitted. He sued for
$4,000 damages, and the case has
been tried five times, and each time,
except one, he has received a verdict
for $4,000 to $500, which was always
set aside. He applied to the supreme
court, and the verdict has been revers-
ed, giving him no damage. The court
costs are now $4,000, while the other
expenses on both sides amount to at
least $4,000, and several persons have
been ruined by the expenses of the
case. The value of the calves was
$50.

ANOTHER SIOUX CITY MURDER

The disappearance of Henry Peters,
one of the important witnesses of the
HaddOck murder at Sioux City, Iowa,
and the intimatiOn that he had been
killed to prevent his telling tales, has
been confirmed. On the 9th of October
the body of stranger was found III
the willows about a mile from Crescent
near Council Bluffs. 1t was badly de-
composed and could not be identified.
The place where the body was found
was one which could be reached by a
skiff coming down the Missouri, and it
is thought that the men came down
the river after the HaddOck murder,
brought the body of this man and hid
it there. In the pocket was found a
crumpled piece of paper on which was
written, "Miss Minnie Newman, Capt.
toll avenue, H. Ragburn." The body
was buried in the pOtter's field at
Council Bluffs, but an examingtiOn of
the clothing has since been made lead
ing to the almost complete identified
ton of Peters. 1t is thought that he
too was killed by the HaddOck muir
derers to prevent revealing the first
assassin.

The Bitter Badly Bitten.
PhiLadelphia Ne1Os.

John r. Mclean, the editor and pro-
prietor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, is
very fond of joke and has the good
sense to appreciate one even at his
own expense. Summer before last he
was walking rapidly along Thirty
ninth street in New York. At the cor
ner of Fourth avenue he saw hard
up looking Hibernian standing on the
opposite corner gazing listlessly into
vacancy. "Watch me surprise that
old fellow" said he to his friend.
"LOOk right into his face and see if it
were abreast of the old chap, when
John pulled a silver coin out of his
pocket and said, as he thrust it into
the old mans hand, "Here's that quar-
ter l owe you. Now don't go round
any more telling people that L don't
pay my debts. | always speak we'll of
you, and you have no reason to do
otherwise by me-" For second the
mans face was a study. He was
amazed at the unlocked for kindness,
and then as its purpOrt dawned upon
him he raised his battered hat and
said "God bless yer honor, Pll niver
say another word agin ye, but (and
here his eyes twinkled merrily) are We
sure it wasn't half yez owed me %
The friend roared, and as Mclean
Redeemed to the roots of his hair, ex-
claimed, ooh, pay the man in full.
Don't try to beat him out of quarter"
The Irishman got two halves in addi-
ton to his quarter, but the editor no
longer pays his debts at sight unless
demanded.

WEALTH OF THE PRESIDENTS
Ne7n York Sun.


OF the earlier presidents, Washing
ton was the wealthiest. When he
died his estate at a moderate valuation
was worth 100000. Adams was a
poor man, but independent in his last
years, thanks to the good management
of his wife. jefferson was wealthy
when he became president, but lost his
property and died insOlvent. His home
was sold, and his daughter was saved
from want by the generosity of South
Carolina, which gave her $4,000.
Congress bought his library, and with
the proceeds his debts were paid. All
of his descendants are poor. Madison
left handsome property, and was
wealthy when president. Congress
bought his manuscript papers, paying
$50, 900 for them. Mrs. Madison's son,
Payne Todd, squandered her property,
and in few years after her husbands
death she was poor. His estate was
valued at S280,0OO in 1916.
James Monroe died insolvent. He
sold his Virginia estate after the death
of his wife, and died in New York.
John Quincy Adams left $4,000.
His successor, Andrew Jackson, was
a rich man for his day. The Hermi-
tage, which he left to his adopted son,
is now the property of the state. Mar
tin Van Buren, left fine estate valued
at S300,0OO.
James K. Polk left about half this
amount, and, as he had no children to
make use of it, his widow has enjoyed
it since his death.
John Tyler was not a rich man,
though he owned fine farm in Vir-
GINA and a number of slaves. He had
large family, and was so long in pub
lie life that he went to the White
House poor. What he saved in Office
enabled him to live in comfort after
wards. His second wife had means,

The fact is significant that the sud-
den Outcry about the Indebtedness OF
the state of Vermont to the general
government was raised just when At
kins and Smalley had been in Wash
ington with their war paint on. Com
mon report at Montpelier has it that
these brave warriors wanted to get
arms from the government for the use
of the Episcopal school boys at Burl-
ingtOn, and it was suggested to them
that the arms might be got on the
states quota under the act of 1908, but
when they made application for them
they were met by the fact that the
states quota of arms had been taken
up for many years to come. Out OF
this grew the Third Auditors sensa-
tiOnal letter which was sprung upon
the country without showing our state
officials the common courtesy of first
asking them for their side of the case.
Having accomplished this, Mr.. Atkins
is supposed to have regarded the per-
