A Confession.

Frank Chleboun, the man who, with John
Hronek and Frank Chepak, intended to MUIR
der Judge Garry, Judge Grinnell and In
spector Bonfeld, of Chicago, has made a full
and complete confession. The preceding day
he had intimated that he was ready to tell
all he knew and Inspector Bonfeld went to
hear his story. Through the interpreters,
Chleboun went into the whole story from
his first meeting with Hronek and Chepak.
His confession was that Hronek had unfolded
his plan for revenge and had told of q bomb
which he (HroneE) had invented. 1t was
small, no larger than Il base ball, and was to
be loaded with dynamite and bits of glass.
1t was denied by Chleboun that the plot was
to murder the judges I'M inspector. That is,
he heard of no such definite scheme.
About July he was visited by Hronek,
who brought him two bombs of the broken
glass variety, and two sticks of dynamite
from which he was to make bombs of gas
pipe after the usual pattern. He had the
stuff in his house for about n week and then
grew SO afraid that it would be discovered
that he made away with it by throwing it in
q privy vault. BY his confession, it is under
stood, Chelboun has virtually secured immu-
nifty from prosecution. The two other men
are still at large but they may be arrested at
any time.

!. The Emneror and Gar.

The German Emperor. William, accompan-
led by Prince Henry, Count Herbert Bismarck
and. a small suite, sailed from Peterhof for
St. Petersburg on board the Alexandria. Dur
ing the voyage from Cronstadts to Peterhof,
Emperor William and the car had q long
talk together. Motorists were offered at the
station nor given in honor of Emperor
William at Peterhof, Emperor William after-
ward went on O drive, in company with the
czarina and the Duke and Duchess Vladimir.
On arriving at Kraznoe-Selo the emperor. on
horseback, and the czarina and children in
an open carriage drawn by six white horses
inspected the camp. Then, seated before
the imperial tent, the party listened to the
playing of the German anthem, and a Sc
lection of Russian music. Evening prayer,
tattoo and a discharge of rockets closed the
days proceedings. Emperor William and
Prince Henry next day laid wreathes OF the
tomb of the late car in the church of Peter
and Paul in St. Petersburg. Wreaths were
also placed on the late czarina by Emperor
William and Prince Henry. The wreaths
were inscribed with the names of civilian"

GhAStlY Story.

A horrible murder has occurred at Rawdon,
q village some distance from Montreal. Early
one morning, Il Mrs. Gagnon was suddenly
awakened by the noise of two vehicles that
had suddenly come to a standstill opposite
her residence. She inquired what was the
matter and was cody informed that they
were bringing back the remains of an old
man named Laverdure, whose brother lived
in the house opposite. The vehicles drove
away at an extraordinary speed and
when the door was Immediately opened,
to her horror, L%averdure's inanimate body,
that had been placed in a standing position
alongside the door, suddenly fell with q crash
to the floor. L~ayerdure's son, who lives
close by, and a justice of the peace were both
summoned. The latter sent for DR.. DeSaham-
bault. who declared that life had been ex-
tinct for two hours. Who committed the
deed is not known, although suspicion points
to an Irishman, who boosted that same night
at toilette that he had just killed IL French
Canadian. The Irishman cannot nov ba
found. Inquest is being held.

Premier Greenway and Atty Gen. Martin
of Manitoba left St. Paul to consult with
General Manager Cakes, Of the Northern
Pacific, regarding the sale of the Red River
Valley railway. According to arrangement,
they meet Cakes in Chicago, but it is likely
the party will go to New York to sign the
contract if satisfactory arrangements be
regarding the sale. The only way they
can be made satisfactory is by Northern Pa
cfic people agreeing to guarantee maximum
freight rates on wheat. 1t is doubtful if the
company will concede this point. The Cana
dian Pacific people are already agitated over
the probable purchase, realizing that the
Northern Pacific will prove q dangerous COM
petitor. They threaten, if the government
sells the Red River Valley to construct q
line between Winnipeg and Duluth, and thus
get even with the Northern Pacific. The out
fookfor o big railroad war is excellent.

ARNER'SSAPEPI PILLS
Within the Century.

1t is rather more likely than not
that the old men of this period, those
who came into the world with the
present century, or a few years after,
have seen more material progress
than those of any preceding CEN
fury of which the history was
written or preserved. The first steam
vessel, christened the Savannah,
which crossed the Atlantic Ocean,
sailed from the port of Savannah on
the Goth of May, 1919 arrived at
Liverpool on the following Goth of
June, but it was nearly twenty years
later, or just fifty years ago on April
23d, that the real steam ferriage~ OF
the Atlantic was inaugurated by the
arrival at New York of the steam
ship Sirius and Great Western with
in a few hours Of each other, the first
of which sailed from Cork on the 4th
and the latter from Bristol on the
9Th of April, 1888. The Savannah,
twenty years before part sail and
steam) had taken twenty-six days to
make the passage. The Great West
ern was fifteen days between port and
port, but now the same voyage is
made inless than seven days bysome
of the new ocean racers. The devel.

during the Wa of the: Rebellion, and the
views which he must hold as to. the constitu-

grew out of the war, and also to his abilities

characterize a justice, and that his record in

In the vast deserts Of Africa, Asia and
Australia we find all the requisites for
the full development of heated air cur
rents. The whole surroundings are IA

the powerful rays of an undimmed sun
warm the superficial layers to an extraor-
binary degree, and this excessive temper
ature is communicated to the superin-
cumbent atmosphere in the usual way.
Between Tripoli and Murzuk there is a
sterile tract of more than fifty miles of
sandy country, where a thermometer
thrust six inches below the surface re-
corded a temperature Of 1870 dogs. In
South Africa Sir John Herschel found a
ground temperature of l59 dogs, In the
severe drought of the summer of 1877, in
the Fiji Islands. the black bulb thermom-
eter on the grass registered 172 dogs. So
exceedingly hot was the ground that the
poor natives, whose feet are "as tough as
cOwhide, often enabling them to walk over
fire or on the top of live coral, an ordeal
almost equally severe" were compelled
for once to bandage their feet for protec-
ton against the fiery soil.
On some arid desert plains the tempera.
ture OF the sand reaches 200 dogs. and
even higher. During Capt. Sturt's wan
behring's in Australia he found that a
match would fire by simply dropping it on
the ground. Burton's feet were scorched
while pitching his tent in the Arabian
desert. The same authority, describing
the lnenge district of Central Africa,
states that under the burning yellow
sky the grass is as white as the soil; the
fields - stubbles stiff as harrows are
staine only by the shadows of passing
clouds; the trees, except upon the nullah
banks, are bare; the animals are walking
