DuMoNr MAKING TROUBLE

The Rebel Leader Inciting Manitoba
Half Breeds to Rebellion.
WINNIPEG. Man., May News from
Batouche, the scene of the half-breed
rebellion of a few years ago, creates con-
siderable anxiety here, and the people
now regret having allowed the rebel
leader, Gabriel Dumont, to re-enter the
country. He threatens to cause more
serious trouble, and the authorities are
being urged to summarily suppress him.
The other night a large deputation of
prominent half-breeds waited on him
and presented him with an address,
thanking him for the gallant fight he had
made for his countrymen and congratu-
lating him on his escape. They
urged him to again become their
leader and promised to remain
firm and keep up the ag-
itation until all their wrongs were
righted by the government. Dumont
replied in a vigorous speech, urging his
compatriots to demand compensation
for damage done their property by
Canadian troops. He believed their
cause would yet be successful.

FELL INTO THE FLAMES.
Fatal College Fire in q Suburb of Phila-
ha1nhia

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, May 2.-The four
story stone building attached to the
Catholic College, on East Chelton
Avenue, Germantown, was burned at
an early hour this morning. The build
ing was used for storage and cooking
purposes, and it is supposed that
the fire originated from the cook range
on the first floor. The widest excite
ment prevailed among the students in
the college adjoining. for it was known
that Ignatius and M. Kemmerle were
in the third story of the burned build
ing. Presently the two men appeared
at a window and Michael jumped to the
ground. His brother was about to
follow him, when the flooring gave way
under him, and he sank into the burn
ing mass of debris. Michael was badly
injured by his jump, and it is thought
he will die. The loss on the burned
building has not yet been ascertained,
but it is understood to be fully covered
by insurance.
Ignatius Kemmerle was IS years old
and his brother was over 10. The total
loss will not exceed 5000. The ply
sicians now say that Michael Kem-
merle's injuries are not so bad as at
first reported, and they have hopes of
saving his life.

EXPOSED TIC YELLOW FEVER.

Thirteen Hundrea Persons Scattered
Throughout the Country.
BALTIMORE, Md, May 2.-Health Com
missioner Stewart, of Baltimore, was
informed to-day of Il report of the preva-
lence OF yellow ever on board
of the German steamship Weser.
He said he did not believe there
was any truth in it. If it was
true, however, the disease must have
spread from a passen ger from some place
other than Baltimore. as this CITY was
eve IN a healthier condition than at
present. There is No yellow fever IN
Baltimore.
Agent Atkinson, Of the North German
Lloyd Line, when seen this morning,
di.credlted the report that yellow lever
had injected the steamer Weser at
Bremen. He knew nothing about the
cargo she brought to this port on her
last trip, but did not think the steamer
had anything on board her which would
breed cOntagiOn. He thought that if
there really was fever aboard it must be
OF a mild character, and was inclined to
think the report was greatly exagger-
ated.
The 1900 and odd immigrants the
Weser landed in this city from April y
to April 10 were undoubtedly exposed
to the Injection during the voyage from
Bremen here, for the ship could not
have become infected in Baltimore and
it will be a matter OF interest, not only
to the health authorities of Baltimore,
but to those cities throughout the coun-
try to know whether the baggage and
clothing of these hundreds of people
who are by this time scattered over a
dozen states, is injected with the dread
ed plague.
A cablegram from London at noon
says all are we'll on board the Weser.
There are two other vessels named
Weser, a bark and a schooner, one of
which is from a South American port
and the fever was probably on it.

Examining the Burned Remains of the
Victims Of the Hamilton Disaster.
HAMILTON, Ont, May 1.-While the
workmen were engaged in removing the
debris at the scene Of the wrecked train
to-day, another body was found. This
swells the list to twenty killed. Several
of the relatives and friends of those
supposed to be among the unidentified
arrived to-day, and in a short time it
will probably be known just who were
the persons burned to death, by
Identifying watches and other trink-
cts. 1t is unlikely, however, that
any of the relatives can dis
tinguish which Of the remains are
those OF their friends. Five of the city
doctors made a close examination of the
remains of the unidentified this morn
ing, and came to the conclusion that the
burned were seven men, four women,
two children, and the other five so
badly burned that it was impossible to
tell their age or sex.
George Grummette, of Chicago, who
has arrived. identified a watch with the
monogram &C. [. s." as that of his wife,
who was on the train and is missing.
Benjamin Weller, of Toronto, was here
in search OF his sisters husband, David
Booth. of Toronto, who was supposed
to have been on the train. He thought
he recognized among the calcined bodies
in the morgue that of Mr.. Booth. j..
B. Hanna, OF Kankakee, ILL.,, has identi-
fed among the remains of the killed
that OF his father-in-law, J. S.. Hall, of
the latter city. Theodore Curnick. of

er articles as tho belongings of his

the third time the higher courts
stepped in and granted him a new trial.
When the case was called up the

was sure Hotelling was guilty, he was
not able to procure the particular kind
of testimony to suit the higher courts.
and so dropped it. The trials have cost
the county several thousand dollars.

in. did not want to raise disturbance.
SO took seat behind my man and pre-
pared to wait until the end of the per-
formance. The scenes in the play were
strong, the villain being unusually dia-
bolical and the hero and heroine noble
and patient. Frequently the latter found
occasion to express their abhorrencc and
condemnation of thieves and those who
violate confidence reposed in them, and
quite as frequently the villain scoffed at
sentiments of}yirtue and honesty. I
found my man kissing violently at the
villain every time he got a chance, and
nearly splitting his hands in frantic ap-
plause for the hero and heroine. Tears
came in his eyes when the latter were
suffering. and he could hardly restrain
his fierce anger at the william. Yet after
the play he took his arrest coolly and
confessed without wink. When he was
arraigned in the police court the next day
he swore point blank that he had never
stolen cent, and called me liar when
testified to his confession. l have met

A Puzzled Porker.

Out on Yolo county ranch q few
years ago small band of hogs were
confined in lot fenced in with logs. lii
one part of the fence there was o hollow
log, shaped something like a joint of
stovepips, one opening being inside the
lot and the other outside. One day an
intelligent porker discovered this fact
and thereafter went out and returned at
his own pleasure. The owner of the
ranch happened to witness the mode of
egress of the hog one day and decided
to put up q job on him. By Slowing the
log around little he SO contrived as to
place both openings of the log inside the
lot. In a few moments the hog ran up
to his usual exit and passed through the
log. Imagine his surprise when he
walked out the other end of the log and
found himself still inside the lot. He
looked about in puzzled way, scratched
his, ear and tried again. Same result.
"Well, IN bsSdanged," grunted the hog.
Again he raninto the log and ran out
again with the same result. He became
wild with rage and dashed through the
log SO often and SO fast that the smoke
began to issue from the cracks. Then
he gave it up as bad job, and, SO the
owner of the hog says, never went near
tEe.fence until the day Of his DEATH

One morning in Wilkesbarrc there was
great oolliery explosion. Hundreds of
Cornish miners were killed and their
corpses lay at the mouth Of the coal mine
for recognition.
Sitting at the mouth, by pale corpse,
was young wife. She looked at her
husband, but uttered no cry; her eyes
were dry. She rocked herself to and fro.
her face white with anguish.
"oh, that l had spoke fair to him at
the endI' she moaned. "0h, that he
would come to life one minute. that !
could say, Jimmy, forgive me, but
nothing win help me now. Oh, I could
bear it all if had only spoke fair to him
at the end. Oh, Jimmyr'
And then, at last, the story came.
They had been married a year-she and
Jim-and they both ''had tempers," but
Jim was always the first to make up.
And this very morning they had had
trouble.
It began because breakfast wasn't
ready, and the fire wouldn't burn; and
they said hard words, both of them. But
at the very last, though breakfast had
not been fit to eat, Jim had turned round
at the door and said:
"Gi'e me kiss, lass. You know you
love me, and we won't part in ill blood" I"
''No, Jimmy, I don't love you." said,
petulantly.
"Gi'e me one kiss, lass" pleaded Jim
my.
"No, not one! and now and then
the tears rushed to her eyes.
With awful sobs she flung her arms
around the corpse.
Darling Jimmy! Darling Jimmy,
speak to me now," she moufned. "Say
you forgive mel"
"Do not grieve so hopelessly,"I said;
perhaps Jimmy knows what you feel
now"
But the mourner's ears were deaf to
all comfort, and the wailing cry came
again.
"Oh, if had only spoke to him fair at
the last!'
1t is not an uncommon story this. We
quarrel with those we love, and part and
meet and make up again; and death is
merciful and waits till we are at peace.
Yet how possible is just such an expert
ence to any one of us, who parts with
some dear one in anger, or who lets the
sun 80 down upon their wrath! But it
is ALWAYS the noblest nature The most
loyal heart, which is the first to cry:
