Malta.

There was at the Centennial Expo6f
tion the head of a woman cut in but.
ter, which attracted much attention
from the rural visitors. For this they
passed by the women painted on can
vas or carved in marble they were too
like the real thing, and they probably
knew how difficult it is to make butter
into moulds. For some reason Malta
reminds you of this butter lady. It'll
a real city-with real houses and ca
thedral and streets, no doubt, but you
have a feeling that they are not genu-
inc, and that though it is very cleverly
done, it is, after all, o city carved out
of cheese . or butter. Some of the
cheese is mouldy and covered with
green, and some of the walls have
holes in them, as has aerated bread or
Roquefort cheese, and the streets n
the pavements, and the carved facades
of the churches and opera house, n
the earth and the hills beyond-every-
thing upon which your eye can rest IS
g1aring and yellow, with nota red roof
to relieve it it is all just yellow lime
stone, and it looks like Dutch cheese.
It is like no other place exactly that
| you have ever seen. The approach in
to the canal-like harbor under the guns
and the search lights of the fortifica-
tions, the meats and drawbridges, and
the glaring monotony of the place it
self which seems to have been cut out
of one piece and painted with one
brush, suggest those little toy for
tresses of yellow wood which appear1n
the shop windows at Christmas time.
OF course the first and last thoughton
has of Malta is that the island was the
home of the Order of the Knights OF
St. John, or Knights Hospitallers.
This Order, which was the most noble
of those of the days of medieval chlv"
airy, was the band of warrior monks
who waged war against the infdels,
who kept certain vows, and who, under
| the banner of the white cross, became
honored and feared throughout the
then known world. Their headquarters
changed from place to place during the
four hundred years that stretched from
the Eleventh Century, when the Order
was first established, up to 1880, when
Charles V. made over to Malta and all
it's dependencies in perpetual SOW
ereignty to the keeping of these
knights. They had no sooner fortified
the island han there began the nine
months siege of the Turks, one of the
most memorable sieges in history.
When it was ended, the Turks re-em.

A Feat I'm Carving.

In all branches of sport beating the
previous record is a performance of al.
most everyday occurrence. and no
matter how excellent the achievement
it is not likely to remain long unchal'
lenged and unconquered. The estab.
lishment of o new kind of record. al
though not strictly within the realms
of actual sport, cannot therefore fail to
interest that large class of spectators
who are ever ready to discover some
thing new on which to stake their spare
cash.
A wealthy young Cuban recently
made a bet with the carver of one OF
the leading night restaurants on the
Boulevard-the wager being for $500
that the latter would not cut and
make 1000 complete sandwiches in
twenty-four hours.
The carver won the bet easily, &C.
complishing the feat in nineteen hours
andforty minutes, demolishing twenty.

mass of sandwiches was divided among
the principal hospitals of Paris and the
environs, among whose inmates the un'

Death of a well-Known Lady,

The news was received here yester-
day that Elizabeth, the wife of Joseph
Birkbeck, of Wilkes-Barre, had died at
that place early that morning. She had
been sick for two weeks with a slight
attack of pneumonia, but no serious
results were expected, and her friends
here were not notified, consequently the
announcement was still more surprising.
Mrs. Birkbeck was prominent in the
charitable organizations of Wilkes Barre,
and never lost an opportunity to help
along the unfortunates of that part. She
was also an extensive traveller, and had
returned only few weeks ago from the
Worlds fair.
The deceased was aged 54 years,
months and 1S days. Funeral services
will be held at st. Stephens church,
Wilkes-Barre, tomorrow, after which
the remains will be brought here, arriv-
ing at the station at 2.37 p. m. Inter-
ment will be made at Freeland ceme-
terry, and the friends and relatives are
invited to attend.

dom, has called to Himself, to receive
the just rewards of well-spent life,

member of this organization. There
fore, be it
Resolved, That whilst we bow our
heads in humble submission to the
choice of our Almighty Father, at the
same time we cannot restrain the express
sion of our deep and affectionate sorrow
at the death of our late fellow-member,
who had endeared himself to us by a
friendly disposition, the warmth of his
affections, the manliness of his actions,
and the honesty and integrity of his
convictions.
Resolved, That in the death of Patrick
Higgins the Tigers Athletic Club has lost
one OF its first and most useful members,
the community worthy and upright
citizen, and at our future roll-calls we
VIII miss the name of one who was loyal,
respected and trustworthy, and who was
at all times true to the Tigers and to his
obligation.
.. Resolved, That copy of these resolu-
tions, properly engrossed, be transmitted

A New Trial for Tom Brown.

Judge Woodward ON Tuesday granted
the application for new trial to Thomas
Brown, the colored man convicted of
murder in the first degree for the killing
of Lucius Robinson, at Ebervale, last
spring. In ordering the new trial Judge
Woodward said:
"We have carefully considered the
reasons assigned for new trial in the
case and are of the opinion that the af-
ter discovered testimony contained in
the depositions of A. j. Friday and
Jackson Wright, is of sufficient impor-
tance to justify us in granting the
motion. 1t will not, therefore, be neces-
sary to express an opinion upon the
other reasons filed by counsel, and the
discussion Of which, at this time, might
tend to prejudice the fair trial of the
case.''
The testimony of Friday, who was out
of the state at the time of the trial, to
which Judge Woodward attaches SO
much Importance is Robinsons words on
the night of the shooting. "I shot that
house all to pieces trying to kill Tom
Brown. want more cartridges. l have
emptied my revolver. I am going out
to kill Tom Brown this night" coupled
with the fact that he went up stairs, re-
loaded his revolver with cartridges from
Fridays trunk, and went out after
Brown.
The granting of the new trial is due to
the untiring efforts of the defendants
attorney, John F. Shea, who has spared
neither time nor money in securing for
this friendless colored man all the ad-
vantages and safeguards of the law.
