THREE ATTEMPTS


To Burn the indianapolis Female Prison.
'Let Her Burnt" shrieked the Girls to
the Firemen.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July fs.--Sunday
night three separate attempts were
made by prisoners in the reform depart
ment of the Indiana female prison to
burn that institution.
The first came shortly before 8 o'clock
by setting fire to quantity of bedding
stored in one of the large closets on the
third floor. The dense smoke perme-
ated every quarter, and all the pris-
oners were turned out into the grounds
surrounding the reformatory. Here
they were found by the firemen and
police, who were hastily summoned.
This fire was put out with small loss.
Soon after fire was discovered in one of
the bedrooms, some distance away, and
still another department. The girls
greeted the firemen with cries of 'let
her burnt" and they ran about the
grounds wildly insubordinate and de-
terminedly bent upon mischief. Some
few are thought to have escaped. Af-
ter the danger was checked the firemen
and police remained as guards for several
hours, and until the insubordination
in measure was under control. At a
late hour many of the girls were clos
eted in the corridors and halls shrilly
declaring they would not go to bed,
and the officers were much disturbed
over the outlook. The latter reported
that the girls were possessed of a mania
to burn the institution, and they lived
in constant dread of q recurrence of the
disaster which partially destroyed the
reformatory four months ago.

We're the Rites Held Over the Corpse of
Suicide Collins.
CHICAGO, July 1s.-Just across the
Indiana line, on the shore of Lake Mich
igan, the body of Morris Allen Collins,
who committed suicide in Chicago July
Z, was cremated with weird ceremonies
by the Whitechapel club, of this city.
The torch was applied to the mighty
o'clock During the five hours the
body burned impressive ceremonies
were enacted about the blazing pile,
weird music and recitations, inter-
spersed with addresses replete with per-
sonal "reminiscences and spoken by
friends of the dead man, filed
time with deep interest and add
ed to the strangeness of the
scene. When at last the consum-
ing flames had done well their work.
the ashes of the man who in life had
found stony pathways and brier-strewn
Fairgrounds, were gathered together
with reverential care and placed in an
urn on which loving hands had traced
in many hued pictures symbolic of the
principles which had once animated the
life of him who was no more.
Not since the day nearly seventy
years ago, when Byron and Trelawny
stood in the glare of blazing drift
wood that cremated the remains OF
their friend, the poet Shelley, has a
stranger funeral ceremony marked the
flying time. Never in the history OF
Illinois have the events of last night
had their precedent.
Before ending his life, Collins wrote
letter to friend, concluding with
these words: ''Please see that my body
is turned over to the Whitechapel club,
and that that organization incinerate il
according to the custom of the boys
who have been my friends and we'll

The Bothick Indians of Newfound-
land, at one time the aboriginal inhab-
itants of the island, can now only be
counted by one or two skeletons and
few skulls, so completely have they
been swept away. The French em-
ployed the Mic Mac Indians of Nova
Scotia to fight against and eXterminate
them. According to an account in the
late issue of the transactions of the
Canadian institute they were peace
able and quiet race, given to hunting
and fishing. They used canoes made
of birch rind and skins of deer, like the
EsquimauX cayak. They had no pot
terry and used utensils of birch rind
sewed together but they employed soap
stone dishes as lamps, their form being
similar to those among the EsquimauS
ut the present day. They carved deer
and walrus horns and bones of the seal
into ornaments which they wore on
their dresses and ornamented their
heads with combs The carvings are in
triangular patterns and out of the large
collections in the museum at St Johns
there are no two ornaments having the
same pattern. Their stone implements
were more rudely constructed than
those of the wWtern Indiana IN. X.

A CONSCIENTIOUS JUDGE.
How a Nevada Jurist Squared" Matters
With His COINCIDENCE.

with His Conscience.
A conscientious Judge adorned the
Nevada bench. In his court suit in
volving the title to some mining ground
was pending between two com panies.
In another part of the district the judge
had some claims which were looked
upon as mere wildcat" He had for n
year been trying vainly to raise money
to open his claims He had incorpor-
ated with forty thousand shares and
held them at one dollar each, with an
understanding that twenty per cent. of
the money received for stock should be
set aside as working capital. But
nobody would buy. One night quite
late the judge heard soft knock on
his chamber door. 1t was the president
of the company that was plaintiff in
the mining suit.
Il was looking at your claims over on
the east side, Judge" he said. ''and |
believe they are good. l would like
some of the stock" The judge cheer

worth.

"Of course" agreed the litigant
A few days later the judge met the
superintendent of the defendant COM
pany and talked stock to him, giving
the opinion that if he bought ten thou
sand dollars worth he would do well.
The superintendent saw the point and
invested. The judge deposited in bank
sixteen thousand dollars of the twenty
thousand dollars to his own account
and four thousand dollars to the credit
OF his company.
Judgment was given for plaintiff, and
the superintendent Of the losing COM
pany went wild and declared every

both men and informed them that u big

mine, He was therefore able to pay Il
dividend of one dollar a share, and

PARIS, July 1s.-Three hundred deaths
from cholera have so far been registered
by the board of health. DIR. DuJarotin

epidemic is undoubtedly due to the
use of polluted Seine water for
drinking purposes and living un-
der improper hygenic conditions.

LONDON, July 1S.-The epidemic of
cholera is not of so highly an infectious
character as former outbreaks. Very
few persons are attacked in the proper

is quickly fatal. The disease is raging,

worlzingmen of Tsaritsin, where many
of them have died three hours after
they were attacked.
