HOMESTEAD. Pa, July 24.-Private
fans, of Company X, Tenth regiment,
shouted yesterday afternoon, when the
report of the attempted assassination of
Mr.. FricK reached the provisional brig
ade. for three cheers for the assassin.
Col. Streetor, from his quarters, heard
the incendiary shout. He hurried into
the camp and ordered the regiment to
be paraded i'll double-quick time. When
his command was drawn up he recited
to the soldiers Tie remark he had heard.

colonel said.

recognized lams' voice, and he was
standing directly in front of the accused
when he was talking. Immediately
Private Iams stepped to the front. He
was trembling like an aspen, and he
seemed unable to hold his gun.

colonel asked

head and nodded in the affirmative.

The colonel and his staff. including the

The officer of the day then took charge
of the criminal, and at the colonel's
orders he was hung up by the thumbs
for thirty minutes. The surgeons re-
manned with the unfortunate during
all his punishment. One of them
kept watch OH his pulse while
another looked after his heat,
and at the end of thirty
minutes Surgeon Neff ordered him
taken down. When released young
Iams was limp and apparently uncon-
scious. The surgeons remained with
him for an hour, when he was taken 10
his quarters.
The severity of Iams' punishment
was due to his refusal to take back or
apologize for the expression. Today

AN OPINION OF WEBSTER.
The Old Statesman Did Not Think
That Railroads Would Be Sue


That Railroads Would Be Sue
cess.
Youths Companion.
In the year 1910 the locomotive was a
smail,weak machine that was employed
to drag few coach-like cars at speed
of about ten miles an hour. Then the
directors and stockholders of railroads
constituted the meekest class of citi-
kens. very different from the dictatorial,
influential class of the present.
Daniel Webster, in describing the
American railroad of that time, said:
''They are made of two stringers of
scantling, notched into ties that often
get loose in the ground. Upon the
stringers two straps of iron, the width
and thickness of wagon-tires, are nailed.
"These straps of iron frequently get
detached at the ends, which turn up
like snakes heads, and pierce the floors
Of the cars" Such an accident actually
happened to car between Elizabeth
and New York.
"Then," said Webster, ''the wheels
Slip on the iron straps, in winter
especially, so much that no dependence
can be placed upon the time of arrival.
and many people think that it is not
certain that railroads will be success"

two unknown persons were drowned

death. The boat contained two men
and a woman. One of the men who
was saved said the victims we're casual

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 24.-"Hotter
than yesterday" was the general verdict
here today, though it is doubtful if
there was any material change. The
signal service thermometer showed
temperature of 95 and various
local instruments registered from 90 to
102. Three cases of prostration by heat
have been reported, one of which has
already resulted fatally; the victim of
the second is expected to die. while the
third one will probably recover.

A Cow in q Bear Pit.

A comic scene took place few days

capital, and had arrived at the Muris-
talden, when the animal bOlted, and.
jumping the rails round the well known
bear pit. arrived at the bottom without
injury. The proprietor thought that
his COW was lost; but he was mistaken.
She attacked the bears bravely, who,
utterly routed. retired into their den,
into which she would have followed
them had she not been prevented by the
keeper of the animals, who let down
the trap door. Then the cow went to
the slaughter house and fulfilled her

PARIS. July 24.-The great billiard
event of the week took place at the
Folies Bergere last night before a crowd
of 1000 persons. A balk-line game of
500 points up was played between Ives
and Fournil, the latter receiving so
points. Ives scored two runs in success

called forth repeated cheers. This had
the effect OIL Fournil that Ives had an

THE GLOBE HANDICAP.
Second Weeks Opening of the
Billiard Tournament,

The second week of the DAILY GLOBE
billiard tournament will begin at
O'Clock this evening. The first game
will be between Ronald and Weisen-
berg, and change in the programme
has been made to accommodate other
players. Bingham will play Doherty
aud Capen will play Summers. The
game thus far indicate that these three
games must be fraught with unusual
interest. The story of the contest
shows that they are so evenly matched
that the result in each instance will be
matter of speculation only. The boys
are training conscientiously and the
pace of each is liable to be quickened.

Une strange region ana make Them
familiar with some of Americas strang-
est features. The lake was at first
mysterious in its origin, the water com
ing rolling across the desert with no
known source. Higher and higher they
rose until great waste of water lay
trembling beneath the cloudless sum-
mer sky, reaching far to the northern
horizon as seen from the railroad sta
ton along the southern border. ~Specu-
lations as to the source of the water
supply were numerous, a suddenly
opened spring, a wonderful cloudburst
and detected river being theories that
had adherents.
At last investigation showed that all
were at fault and that an overflow OF
the Colorado of the west, caused by the
high waters, was the reason for the
lakes being The waters backed up
in narrow canon had overtopped
the low banks behind and went plunging
across the plain until a great depres-
sion covering nearly seven hundred
square miles was transformed into
q clear and sparkling lake. If it
remains a permanent feature of the
country important natural and eli
raatic changes may be expected.
The clear skies, pure air, striking
mirages and wonderful surroundings
make the traveller feel as if he were in an
enchanted region. Then comes stretch
of alkali desert, broken only by cactus
bushes and scanty bunch grass that
takes away all the poetry that ever ex-
listed in the mind regarding the region.
More than one exploring party has
started to see all the wonders of this
region but only a few have seen more
than a small portion. With more mois-
ture in the atmosphere a journey
thither may prove more pleasureable.

been steadily burning for more than
four hundred years. 1t was tended by
the warriors Of the pueblo, two at a
time, they maintaining their watch two
successive days and nights at stretch.
neither being allowed food, water nor
sleep. They weae clothed in long, white
robes of cotton trailing on the ground
and were not permitted to converse dur
ing the watch.
The people vs,liantly resisted any at
tempt of the Mexicans to enter the
estufas, and it is claimed that no Next
can ever saw the inside of one. This
prohibition was on account of a tradi-
tionary command of Montezuma, who,
it was believed, had assured them that
if they preserved the sacred fire and
did not allow the eyes of their conquer
ors to behold it he would one day re-
turn, bringing with him men from the
east, when he would conduct his chill
dren away from the land inhabited by
their enemies, the Spaniards.
After the arrival of Americans at
Santa Fe, which was regarded as part
of the fulfllment of the promise, the
fire was less closely watched. One
stormy night one of the guardians of
the sacred flame left his companion and
the latter dozed and finally slept The
storm in the meanwhile beat upon the
altar and the fire which had existed so
long was noimore.
Then the little remnant of the people
of Pecos reluctantly abandoned the pu-
eblo and took up their residence in that
of Ja,nez, where they now live.
But the people are not the only won
derful perquisites Of the southwest
region. There are natural features
which will some day be considered
among the sights worth long journeys

Something About Hon. A. b. Cornell,
Once Governor of New York.
Especial Correspondence

Something About Hon. A. b. Cornell,
Once Governor of New York.
Especial Correspondence.l
NEW YORK, Jan. mo living man
who has figured prominently in the poll
tics of the state of New York is seen or
heard of less these days than ex-Goyern-
or A. B. Cornell. Old friends that used
to know him intimately and be CONVEX
SAINT with his opinions and interests are
forced to confess that they have no
knowledge of either now. They had
heard that he had gone to pieces finan-
cially and that hewas doing nothing;
they had heard, too, that his health was
poor and that he was untitled to meet
the exertions of active business. Whether
or not he lived in New York they would
not tell.
But the truth is Mr.. Cornell is not an
invalid, nor is he without occupation.
Now that he has withdrawn from pub
lie life and has no idea of ever entering
it again under any circumstances, he
cultivates the seclusion of private life
He has SO often been the victim OF mis-
representation by reporters that he does
not care to see them, much less talk
with them. He resolutely refuses to adj
dress political meetings Or to take any
conspicuous part in the public demon
STATIONS Of the party that honored him
SO conspicuously. Still he takes an in
terest in politics. During the recent
campaign in New York he might be
seen occasionally at the Republican head
quarters in the Fifth Avenue hotel.
The glimpses Of the man that were OBJ
tanned on these occasions indicated
clearly that he is in the best Of health
and that he has aged but little since he
was governor of the Empire State. His
hair has, however, blanched u little since
then; he is perhaps a little stouter, but
he keeps his face as smoothly shaver as
ever; he has the same quiet and self
reliant manner: be speaks with the same
deliberation; he has the same inscrutable
features that give no Indication OF his
thoughts or feelings.
Mr.. Cornell. has not been resident OF
New York city for some time, nor has
he had an office here bearing his name.
His home is in Yonkers with one OF his
sons, who is lawyer on Broadway. 1t
is in this Office, too, that he transacts
most of his business and receives those
that have occasion to meet him in town.
His hours are short-from II Until 2. 1t
is not easy to find him for another rea-
son-the various interests that occupy
his attention frequently call him away
from town, and his absences are more
or less prolonged according to circu1n-
stances.
AS to the nature of these interests and
where they are located Mr.. Cornell him
self refuses absolutely to speak. But it
is understood that they comprise real
estate. railroads and manufacturing.
Although he is not believed to be as
wealthy as he was once or possess the
power in financial circles that he welded
a few years ago, he is not by any means
a poor man. FRANKLIN SMITH.

Many other retired rear admirals are
members of this club and may be
found here almost any day playing
whist or talking over. the old tirues.
Worden is, perhaps, the most con-
spicuous figure of the late war re-
naming in Washington today. Over
there in the corner is Admiral Hughes,
a bluff and hearty old fellow, full Of
"reminiscences and fun, who first sailed
in the grand old Constitution, fifty three
wears ago. He sailed all over the world
in the Constitution, which was at that
time the pride of the navy, and billet
aboard her was as eagerly sought by
officers as is assignment to the crack
cruisers of the white squadron in these
days. Admiral Hughes still retains an
affection for the Constitution, and every
summer he journeys to Portsmouth, N.
H., where the old ship lies in the navy
yard, that he may again walk the decks
which he proudly trod a half century ago.
"There are. all told, on the retired list
of the navy" continued the lieutenant,
'sabout 800 men. Perhaps one-third of
these live in Washington, and a majority
of them drop in here nearly every day.
1t seems to be impossible for many Of
these old salts to tear themselves away
from the capital, where there is gay So
ciety and congenial club life. Of thirty
seven rear admira1s on the retired list
fully thirty live in or near Washington.
It is interesting to note how long some
6 al how hoQ11 flA
service. Selfridge, as I told you, started
as a MILDLY on New Years day, 1878. Ad-
miral Taylor and Admiral Lee entered
the service in 1895, Admiral Smith in
1926 and Admiral Green in 1927.
Another peculiar thing" concluded
the lieutenant, sis that this old hero of
the Monitor who sits before us has lived
long enough to see the naval construc-
ton Of the world swing back to the very
type whose utility he SO nobly demon
strated in Hampton Roads. The Mont
tor of his day was an experiment, but its
success was SO great that for time the
world was crazy after vessels built after
that model. Subsequently naval con-
structors have tried everything else that
ingenuity could devise, wasting untold
millions of public money in their expert
ments. Today the best battle ships of
the world are built in greater OF less
modification of the Yankee cheese
box. The low freeboard, the ramlike
bow and the heavily armored tur-
ret are features of nearly all the
great battle ships of modern construc-
ton. In our own new navy the Mian-
tonomoh, the Monadnock, the Amphi-
trite and the other double turreted
monitors are the very highest class Of
coast defense battle ships of which we
can boast, and no nation can boast bet
ter. And here sits the man with the
powder burned face who ushered in the
prototype thirty years ago and who has
lived to see naval construction revolu-
tionized twice over-go from the extreme
of wooden men-of-war to vast floating
fortresses of iron and steel, and then
swing back again to the immortal idea
of Ericsson" WALTER WELLMAN.
