Abner Dorsett's Great Head.

CHARLOTTE, N. C., March 31.-The most singular case of ''big head" on record is re- ported from Chatham county, the possessor being a negro, Abner Dorsett. He is of a bright yellow color, has clear cut features and an intelligent countenance. Though g years of age, he is only three and half feet in height and weighs less than seventy-five pounds. His head is so heavy that he has never been able to walk under it. Its meas urement is thirty-two inches ill circumfer- ence. His arms and legs are very slender, and he cannot sit alone. When his head gets overbalanced he has to push it back with his hand. He does not know letter or figure, but has a good mathematical mind and can solve mentally almost any problem which may be given him.

Sne says Her Husband IS Far Superior

 PIERRE, D. T., March 31.-In answer to a dispatch forwarded to Fort Bennett, which is some fifty miles short of Swift Birds camp on the Cheyenne agency, where Miss Cora Fellows is in charge of the Indian school, and where her marriage to Chaska, the Indian, was reported to have taken place, a courier from the reservation reports that the marriage occurred st Swift Birds camp on the evening of the 24th, the ceremony having been performed by missionary of the Episcopal church in presence of large number of the Sioux braves and squaws and a few government attaches of the reserva- tion. The reply further states that Chaska is not a full-blooded Indian, nor is he the worthless vagabond that has been painted.
 Miss Fellows, or rather Mrs. Campbell, for the latter is said to be Chaska's modern name, was highly incensed when shown by the courier the newspaper reports of her intended marriage, containing references to Chaska as a shiftless Indian of thievish proclivities.
 She told the courier to inform any one who asked for information that Chaska is man, not dude, and far superior to the sensation alists who have been maligning him. They are asking no favors, she said further than to be allowed to conduct their affairs in their own way. The marriage has been the all absorbing topic of discussion, the courier re ports, among the people of Fort Sully, Ben nett and Cheyenne agency.

CANADIAN SEALERS ARMING.
They Fear Being Boarded by Americal
 Revenue Cutters.


 OTTAWA, March 31.-Considerable anxi ety IS 1elt here over the belligerent attitude of British Columbia fishermen who are arm ing themselves and propose to resist any at tempt at seizure by the American authori ties in Behring sea. The cabinet considere. the matter on two or three occasions this week. Lord Lansdowne, governor general wired the lieutenant governor of British Columbia on Thursday suggesting to his government the advisability of issuing a public notice cautioning persons going or sealing expeditions to refrain from asserting their rights by force and from taking or board arms and ammunition ill excess oi their usual requirements. There is general impression in the wellinformed circles here that the United States will succeed in stay ing off a settlement until after the presiden tial elections. Negotiations as announced ir the senate the other day have not materially advanced beyond the stage they reached eight months ago. British Columbia mem, bers of parliament have represented to the Dominion government the necessity Of pre- venting the departure of armed fishing yes sells. They regard the affair very serious and state that there is every likelihood oi bloodshed if the American revenue cutters should attempt to board any Canadian seal. CTS. The feelings of the people on the Pacific coast are thoroughly aroused but al the capital their proposals are strongly con- demned

AN ALABAMA UYNCHING.
Taken from Jail in the Approved Style,
 and Judicial Expenses Saved.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, March 31.-Judge Lynch got in his work at Haynevllle Lowndes county, Thursday night, and avenged one of the most dastardly, cold blooded murders in the criminal history of the state. At mid night about POO armed and masked men rode into the town, went to the county jail and demanded possession of Theo Galloway, the negro who murdered MT. Mitchell Gresham, near Sandy Ridge, in Lowndes county, a few days ago. They forced the jailer to surrender the keys to the jail and then they went to the cell where the murderer was sleeping, took him out and hanged him to the limb of a tree in front of the court house. His body was riddled with bullets and left dangling in the air until yesterday, when it was turned over to his parents, who lad gone to Hayne- vile to be present at the preliminary trial. It was taken back to Sandy Ridge for burial. The lynchers, having completed their work, rode out of town and disappeared as quietly as they had come. Nothing is known as to their identity, except that they were friends of the murdered man.
 Gresham and the negro had dispute about a rubber coat day last week. Gresham and his brother met the negro ill the public road with a shot gun. Gresham asked him what he was going to do with the gun, and he said: 'I will show you" He then leveled the gun and fired. The charge blew the back part of the young mans head off, causing in- stant death.

discussing the Right of Women to Vote
 Under the Constitution.
 WASHINGTON, March 31.-The Interna- tlonal Council met in secret session yesterday forenoon, all reporters being excluded. Stand ing room was at premium when the evening session began Toe theme for discussion was Political Conditions and Woman's Right to the Ballot" The first address was by Mrs. Isabella Beeoher Hooker, of Connecticut, who spoke on ''The Right of Women to Vote Under the National Constitution" asserting that the words, ''the people" in the constitu- tion showed that it was the intention of its framers to place women on perfect equality with men, J. Ellen Foster said that woman was already in politics, but that the objec- tion that women were not fitted for politics applied only to the villanies of New York politics Mrs. Harriet H. Robnson's subject was: ''The Present Attitude of Political Party Toward Woman Suffrage" She said she didn't expect anything from either of the two leading parties, and they couldn't count a great deal on Prohibition help "Your only hope" she said, ''seems to be in the formation of new party"
 Mrs. Martha A. Everett, of the Massachu- settS School Suffrage association, said that the state law allowing women to vote in school affairs had had beneficial effect, but that fuller privileges were wanted. Laura M. Johns, of Kansas, declared that where women took active part in municipal cleo tions in Kansas the liquor laws were strin- gently enforced. Frances E. Willard, the last speaker said that when women went into politics they would take dust brooms and pans and have a clearing out of Brother Jon athan's kitchen, which had not of late been kept in good order.

Stone throwing with serious ln- juries to new men is going on worse than ever this morning at the stock yards and there is no doubt now the ''Q" pant works at Aurora were burned by strikers. There was a strike of Panhandle swltch- men at midnight owing to dissatisfaction about handling 70" freight, which fur ther complicates the situation.

Preparations to Celebrate the Easter
 Holidays in England-How the Ger
 mans Dislike Emperor Fredericis' Brit
 ish Physician-The Bucharest Riots.
 LONDON, March 3l.-The preparations for celebrating the Easter holidays have been enormous throughout England and promise the observance of the customary festivities on a larger scale than ever before. Volun- teer military reviews will be held in the north and south of England, and it is ex- pected that at and ill the vicinity of Dover alone 50,000 men will participate. On Mon- day sham battle will take place, with Dover as the objective point, in which 26,0OO men will be engaged.
 When Emperor Frederick goes out for drive he is followed by Dr. Mackenzie in a closed brougham, accompanied by an aid-de- camp of the imperial staff. When the en- peror and empress drove into Berlin yester- day the crowd suspected that the English doctor was the occupant of the curtained vehicle which followed the imperial carriage and indulged in a great deal of murmuring and shaking of fists. Dr. Mackenzie did not show himself, nor did he give any sign to h> companion that he regarded the demonstra- tions of the crowds which lined the route as evidences of popular hostility toward him. self. It is understood, however that exten- sive police precautions will be taken against a recurrence of these manifestations and that future offenders will be considered to have insulted the emperor And prosecuted upon that charge.
 The Bucharest riots are looked upon as presaging an immediate series of uprisings in the Balkan states, chiefly in Roumana, Rou- melia and Bulgaria, which have undoubtedly been organized by Russian agents, and will be conducted by leaders on Russian pay It has long been suspected, and in many cases known, that Russian spies and Russian money have been ill free circulation in the Balkans. and if the Muscovite organizers of revolt have not completed their work to their entire satisfaction their failure to do so is ill no wise attributable to interference on the part of the Bucharest, Sofia or Philippopolis authorities.
 An indication of the intensity of the fric- tion existing between the French and the Italians is furnished by the following incl dent: Tue captain of the Italian ship Pan anna, arriving at Marseilles, insisted that only Italian laborers should be employed in discharging his vessels cargo The French laborers became incensed at that and com plained to the port commissary of the dis crimination against them. Learning of this action of the French laborers, the Italian consul at Marseilles demanded of NJ. Fiou- rens, foreign minister, an explanation of the post commissary's interference with the rights of the masters of Italian vessels to employ whomsoe yer they pleased to load or discharge cargoes, or to do any other work they might require. The tone of the consul's demand is understood to have narrowly es- capped transcending the line within which diplomatic language is confined, and it is feared that an outbreak of hostilities will grow out of the affair.
