the Dakota court in which he was tried his
action in killing Lieut.. Casey was not muir
der but simply an act of war. After re-
ceiving instructions TO that effect from the
judge the jury brought in a verdict of
acquittal. Nothing less could have been
done. Apparently the Indian really thought
he had right to kill an enemy within the
lines of his own camp, and in that view Of
the case the verdict is just one.

Rumors gliding about the newspaper
precincts of New York accredit Col John A.
Cockeriil and a syndicate of his friends with
the recent acquisition of the venerable Com
nlerciGL Advertiser, which the colonel is to
manage in the interests of Hill presidential
aspirations i'll particular and the accumu>
latlon of wealth in general. With Col
Cockerill upstairs and George Turner look
ing after the dollars in the business Office
they can doubtless make quite as great a
success of the languishing and ancient af-
ternoon paper as they did of the World.
Virtually it was Cockerill and Turner who
brought the World from its obscure posi-
ton and placed it where it is to-day.
Probably Chicago has witnessed the first
real strike in Uncle Sans navy. 1t was
the crew of revenue cutter. What they
particularly wanted was an arrangement
which should not cut their revenue, but
add something to it. 1t wasn't a go.
Striking against Uncle Sam involves diff
culties. Before the ambitious cutter men
could work their scheme the captain got
wind of it, and promptly slipped cable
and cut" out to sea. Sad, isn't it! Hopes
are often dampened in this way.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Respectrng
the action of the French government in
stationing a war ship at St. Georges bay.
newfoundland, to prevent United States
fishermen from obtaining bait, it is said at
the state department that action cannot
be taken nor can an opinion as to the
merits of the case be given until further
advice is received. 1t has not yet been
made clear to the department whether
the war ship has prevented our fisher
men from buying bait or whether it has
prevented French inhabitants from selling
1t. These are two very distinct and diff
fcrent propositions, Ia the first case it
might be taken as an assertion of author
ity over American citizens, while in the
second case the French authorities might
be exerting undeniable authority over
French subjects.

WASHINGTON, May 27-The navy

from the Charleston since she left
Acapulco the first of last week in continued
pursuit of the Itata. When the vessel
failed to touch at Panama within the

very probable that it had been decided to
keen straight on down the coast and that
the Charleston would be heard from at
some Peruvian port. THIS prediction is
fulfilled, for the port at which the Charles
ton announced her arrival is Callao. The
whereabouts OF the ltata are as far from
being known as before, for Capt Remey
reported that he had seen nothing of the
Itata on the cruise down the coast. The

WASHINGTON, Ga, May 27.-There
are terrible rumors afioat IN some sections
of this county of a horrible crime com
mitted by a negro woman crime which
has never been investigated. The story
is that a negro woman living near Dele
murdered a small child and cooked it like
meat. She her gave what she called "a
hot supper" sold the meat of the child,
and called it tender veal. She received SIS
from the sale of the meat. The negroes
asked what sort of meat it was, and a
little child said it was her little sister that
NANNY" had killed. One negro carried
one of the homes Of the child to a doctor,
and he said it was the bone of a human.
Report says that the negroes ate every
moisel of the child, in the belief that
they were eating veal, and after the sup
per there was a dance, while whisky
flowed freely. The who had thus
killed and cooked the child refused to eat
any of it. This strange abstinence was
remarked by her guests. The strange
part of the story is that while the negroes
were talking loudly of the matter in some
sections, they have not given the name
of the woman accused OF the awful crime
The talk, however, will lead to an in
vestigation which will clear up the mys-
terry.

payment a certified check for s., $50 on
the National Park bank, and he had that
check in lis pocket. he had come to
New York to deposit in the Chatham Ma
tional bank. He chose that bank because
the cashier, Mr.. Doremus, is a neighbOr

Ramsey by saying that was a fair price

The natural course of events was tor Mr..
Ramsey to sec a horse that he could pur-
chase for $3.50 aBd sell for 800. Mr..
Ramsey did not rave the $3.50, but he
told his confdence-inspIring friend about
the check. Mr.. Ramsey raised $3.50 on
the check, and on the solicitation OF Mr..
DOremus left the rest of the money on de
post. Today Ramsey returned and told
the cashier a sorry tale. 1t was to the
effect that he did not remember anything
that had happened since Saturday. except
that when he awOke in a strange place
and felt for his certificate of deposit he
found a pronissory note for 81. 100, pay

That accounted for the s., $50. While

presented the certificate of deposit for

those who condemned her. saw it was a
struggle of Il lone, ~frienlless woman against
power and wealth. No matter whether she
was guilty or innocent about the wrongs she
may have caused or endured, theie is Il

object Of his affection ia Helena Sedgwick, a

clever an actress as she is a woman. Miss
sedgwick went abroad with Emmett, and
she is with him now. Her friends say that
it is about ten to one that they will wed
before long, because it is a genuine love
match, and Emmett is really kittenish
in his new-found happiness. 1t is not

met a divorce from the popular and
rich comedian. They have had a satisfac-
tory financial understanding, and the IA
nous Emmett villa on the Hudson is on The
market as one result. Miss Sedgwick is
one of the daughters of Commodore Brady.

of their intimates, are Rose Coghlan and
Margaret Mather. Each has had a rather
discouraging experience, it is true. but ca Oh
seems willing to make a fresh essay. 1t ia
said by several members Of Miss Cogbla rs
compan that an engagement exists betWe en-

young leading actor, John Il. Sullivan, and
it is predicted that their union will occur
before next season. Mr.. Sullivan is a De

and very ambitious young actor, who has
been her leading support during the past
season. Mr.. SINNERS direction of Miss
