Terrible Experience of. Traveller and
Party in African WIlds.
PROVIDENCE, R. L. Oct. 2-During
the visit of Major Reginald E, Tracy. Of
the Cape Mounted Rife Volunteers,
Cape of Good Hope, to Mrs H. Byron
Porter, of Sheldon street, this city,
there was told a story which reads like
fiction. The central feature of the tale
is piece of Boston newspaper which
was found in the fleshless hand of a
skeleton in the heart of the wilds
of the dark continent While travelling
across the country, fully 1000 miles
from the coast. the Major and his
party of natives were attacked by a
large body of savages, and nearly all
his followers were slaughtered. He and
the other survivors were taken to the
enemy's camp and kept without food
for six days. The captives, one by one,
were Drained, cut up and cooked by tho
savages to satisfy the hunger of their
brother captives. At first they took the
pieces and roasted them over a fire, de-
vouring them with apparent relish; but
when their hunger was somewhat ap-
peased their stomachs rebelled against
the unnatural food. Seeing that the
Major would rather starve than eat
human flesh his captors provided
him with other food, which proved
not altogether unwh olesome. He
was taken further into the
interior and brought before the chief,
who ordered one of his ears to be cut
of, which was thrown to dog lying at
the chieftain's feet the animal devour-
ing the piece of flesh with great relish.
After a week of confinement the Ma
jor was appointed water-carrier. and
while making a trip to the stream he
came across the skeleton of human
being in dense wood, clutching frag-
ment of Boston newspaper Its pres
ence in that region remained a great
mystery until after the Major had
escaped, when he learned that party
of whites several years before had gone
on an exploring expedition and had
never returned.

THE METTMAN MURDER.

Arrest of Benson in Camden, =. 1.-THE
Capture Due to q Woman's Carelessness-
Mrs. Routzshn's Confession.
LEAvENwoRrH, Kan, Oct 2-"Ben-
son is captured" was the report yester-
day upon the streets and inquiry at the
Office of Sheriff Flora corroborated the
report A telegram had just been re-
ceived from Camden, n. j., to the effect
that man answering the description Of
Benson, the supposed murderer Of Mrs.
Theresa Mettman of this city on the
night of March %, was arrested Sheriff
Flora had no doubt as to the man being
Benson, his previous information as to
his probable whereabouts satisfying him
that the right man was arrested.
Benson owes his discovery and arrest
to the carelessness of woman whon neg
lected to put sufficient postage upon a
mail package sent to him. The package
was mailed at the Kansas City, Mo,
pOst-office.
MRS. ROUTZAHNs CONFESSION.
LEAvENwORTH, Kan, Oct Mrs
Routzahn made the following state
ment last night to the sheriff: THE
statement made by me that had not
seen Benson for several months until
the night before the murder was lie.
Benson was at our house just week be-
fore on Saturday night when We had a
long talk about many things and he
finally wanted me to steal the money
for him and hide it He said ne would
get the old woman (my mother) to 60
away so as to make it appear that she
had stolen the money. The money,
you know. belonged to my brother
Henry. and he had given it to my
mother for safe keeping.
ITO this l objected and told him that
mother would come back and then
brother Henry would know that my
story was not true. He then cursed,
saying: -- it, don't you know /
could fix her so she could not come
back?' 1 finally consented to take the
money and hide it in the cupboard until
We could both go away together. AS he
promised, he came back on the next
Saturday night about ten o'clock-the
night before my mothers disappearance.
! called to my mother that Benson want
ed to see her. Mother went out and
talked with him for some time. When
she returned into the house l went out
and remained with him until one
o'clock. He then told me that he had
fixed the old woman; that she would
meet him Sunday night on Broadway.
/ did not again see Benson until the
following Tuesday night, when l gave
him the money but did not go with
him"
The confession Of Mrs. Routzahn
about seals Benson's fate, and also places
her in the terrible predicament of an
accessory before the fact

ued the acquaintance, meeting and cor
respond ng with the young woman. who
described herself as Miss Blanche Rich

but almost 500 in addition.
The young student became suspicious

ion that he was going to Washington on
a flying visit to see college chum

Re Above Suspicion.

It is a gratifying feeling among many
that their lives are above suspicion. Yet
how many good people on account of cir
cumstantiaI surroundings have had the
finger of unjust suspicion directed
toward them. Carbuncles, unyielding
sores, pimples on the face. rough skin hav-
ewes of so many regarded suspiciously as
indicating the presence of some contagious
blood disease, and pointed questions asked
that are productive Of considerable annoy
ance. These skin blemishes and eruptive
tendencies of course find their origin in the
blood. but not necessarily the result OF con-
tagion. The blood may have become i'm
pure on account Of colds and exposure, i'm
proper food, weak digestion, urinary dis
orders, etc. However, it is well to remove
