Carlyle w. HarrIs' Dying statement-His
Body Buried.

Body Buried
New York, May 9.-Private funeral
services over the body Of Carlyle W.
Harris were held in the prison at Sing
Sing this morning, at which only the
mother and brother attended. A dra-
matte incident in connection with the
service was dropping into the coffin, in
accordance with Harris directions, an
affidavit by one of the jurors in the case
on the application for new trial.
ALBANY, N. Y, May 9.-The remains
OF Carlyle w. Harris were buried here
this afternoon. After the burial Harris
last statement, sent by the warden to
the prison department of the state, was
given out. Harris, in this his last
writing, opened with reference to the
review OF his case by the governor. He
canvasses the review, refers to his Civ
ing himself up when he learned OF the
warrant for his arrest, recurs to the re-
fueal OF profered means of escape from
Sing Sing, and then says regarding the
refusal of executive clemency:
"The action OF the court was not JUS
titled by the facts in the c4ee, and hence
public outcry must be silenced by the
seeming justification of the court out
aide of the facts. There is an idea in
the minds OF many that at the time OF
my wife's death l desired marriage with
some other woman. Such person was
never found, nor does che exist. No
one had SO many reasons, all sentiment
or love aside, for desiring my
wife to live as l had. She
would have brought me money and
professional success. She would have
graced my home, and, had known hel
sad habit, it would have been my hap
piness to shield and cure her. May
God in His mercy bless and guard those
whom l leave behind, and leave them
peace; and now, face to face with the
greatest mystery known to man, know
ing no concealment or untruth car
mitigate my end, l do solemnly declare
am innocent of the crime for which
am condemned to die.

Mr. Coudert Complimented at the Con-
clusion of His Arguments.
PARIS, May 9.--Mr. Coudert, of the
counsel for the United States, continued
his argument before the Bering sea
tribunal OF arbitration today. He con-
tended that the modus vivendi was a
temporary abdication of American
rights which the United States con f :
IDENTIFY left the tribunal of arbitration to
uphold. In dealing with the question
damages advanced by Great Britain,
Coudert said the British claims with
respect of the prospective catch were
: untenable.
He quoted from the counter CAGE of
Great Britain, which, he argued, vir-
tuslly confirmed his contention that
pelagic sealing was gradually destroying
the seal species. He read and com
mented on the evidence of London fur
riers, showing that the seals captured
by pelagic hunters were chiefly females.
When Mr.. Coudert had finished his
speech, Baron de Courcel, president of
the tribunal, said to him: eve thank
you for the great ability, liveliness and
humor with which you carried US over
what would otherwise have been rather
a dreary field of questions and facts.''

distrust of the Irish legislature on the
part of parliament. After considerable
debate the amendment was rejected by

Curious Old Letters.

According to the thirteenth report of
the historical manuscripts commission,
the commissioners found in the collec-
ton of Sir w. Fitzherbert an unusually
curious and interesting set of documents,
evidently the original letters of the Sc
cret correspondence between the courts
of France and England during the reign
of Charles II. The only ciphers, as a
rule, made use of were certain numbers
in the place of names. The body of each
letter seems to have been written in an
ordinary hand with sympathetic ink,
probably with lemon juice, as is sug-
gested by Coleman himself in letter of
his printed in the state trials, which,
having once been brought to light, is
still legible, though oftentimes faint.
Sometimes the whole of a letter has
been written in this light brown ink.
Sometimes the secret writing occurs as
a part only of letter, of which the rest
is written in common black ink upon
ordinary, harmless topics. Sometimes il
appears as interlineations throughout a
letter written with common black ink.
In order to bring out these characters.
tics as far as possible, these 20 letters
have been copied line by line, as in the
originals, italics being used to represent
the common black ink and the usual type
being used to represent those portions
which are written with the sympathetic
ink.-London Globe.

There are few women in the far west

LINES TO MY CAT.

Upon my desk my cat reclines
In customary grace.
The mellow, yellow lamplights fall
Upon her happy face
And throw in silhouette her lines
Upon the dusky wall.
Her eyes one moment seem quite green
The gentle, vernal hue,
Like trees whose buds are half unseen
Or smilax in the dew.
Anon they change to gold, like those
saw in years gone by
Wherewith tiger faced his foes
Beneath the Bengal sky.
Her back is arched but not from fright
No cruel dog is nigh,
Nor is 1t that my birds tonight
About the chamber fly.
Her face is fixed on mine, but yet
She does not purr nor NEW.
wonder II cen cats forget,
Like me and others too2
She does not purr nor stir nor go,
She's never blue nor ruffed-
Because she died five years ago
And then was neatly stuffed.

NO BLANKS IN THIS Co.:PETIoN.

NO BLANKS IN THIS COGPETION.
This is competition of rather an I'M
usual nature. 1t is common to offer
prizes for the best story, or picture, or
architectural plan, all the competitors
risking the loss of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for the
amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims COmpany's offer is something en-
tirely different. Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is re-
warded for doing it. The prize is only
a stimulus to do something that would
be well worth doing without it. The
architect whose competitive plan for q
club house on a certain corner is not ac-
cepted has spent his labor on something
of very little use to him. But the person
who patented simple and useful device
in the Press Claims Company's competi-
ton, need not worry If lie fail to secure
the prize. He has a substantial result to
show for his work-one that will COM
mand its value in the market at any
time.
The plain man who uses any article in
his daily work ought to know better how
to improve it than the mechanical ex-
pert who studies it only from the theO-
retical point of view. Get rid of the
idea that an improvement can be too sim
pie to be worth patenting. The simpler
the better. The person who best sue
ceeds in combining simplicity and pop
ularity, will get the Press Claims Com
pany's twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company
may be judged from the fact that its
stock is held by about three hundred of
the leading newspapers of the United
States.

among the men he is to receive and
who knows how to make their presence
as innocuous as possible. This officer
has laid his plan before the council Of
administration, where it is now being
considered. In outline the plan pro-
vides for detective force of from
three hundred to five hundred men,
taken from the police force of all cities
in the United States having more than
twenty five thousand population. In
addition to these there will be officers
from London, Berlin, Paris and other
capitals, detailed for the service by
their governments.
To secure the advantages offered by
men from various parts of the country
it is proposed to furnish them trans
portation to and from Chicago and al
low them a reasonable sum for living
expenses while here. In large num-
ber of inquiries by letter it is found
that nearly all the cities are willing to
furnish two or more men and continue
their salaries for the experience it will
give them and for the protection it will
afford visitors. The men will report
in Chicago about April for organiza-
tion. They will work in pairs. no two
of them from the same locality, so as
to expand their usefulness. When a

grounds he will be turned over TO the
