Uruguay,s President at the Play

Our London friends having been
apparently much amused at a recent
note of ours respecting President
Herrera of Uruguay at the theater we
give them a little more information on
the subject from personal observation.
His EminenCe, except on state occ3s-
ions, never sits at the front Of his stage
box, but keeps modestly in the back
ground, placing his friends in front OF
him. He. is invariably armed with one
of the largest pairs of opera glasses ever
made, which he uses constantly either
directed towards the stage or towards
the cagHeid where Montevidean
beauties mostly do congregate, for
although H, f. may be weak in the
financial line he has a remarkably keen
eye for pretty woman.
Low, satrlCal papers occasionly repre-
sent him with a coryphee seated or
each knee, but that of course is SANDER
At all events he has never been Sc
seen in public. He has a quick ear TO
a joke and laughs heartily. He prefer
ballet and comic opera to tragedy
Any company with a snowy troop o
chorus girls is sure of his patronage
He is by no means dandy in his dress
wearing a quiet frock coat, an ill regu
lated tie and at times a decided,
shabby round hat. AS he is an nnder
sized man this does not contribute to
dignlfied appearance. He rarely take
any one with him in his brougham, bu
generally drives away alone. When h
is at the theater the box opposite his i
always occupied by stout lady Of i'm
posing appearance and with whit
hair.-MoRte0ideo Times.

Victoria and Her Children.

1t is told of the queen Of England
that when one of the little princesses
dropped her handkerchief for the lady
in-waiting to pick up and restore to her
she gave her a severe rebukc. Again
the little miss dropped it, and her com
panion sprang forward, but was inter,
cepted by the queen, who put her foot
on the bit of cambria, with the remark
to the princess that another should not
be incommoded by her carelessness
and that she should pick it up herself
The royal children were brought up to
help and not hinder salutary lesson
for all who will heed it,-DetyOH Free

How Columbus Related His Discovery

the King to doubt Columbus. They
wished to create the impression that
it was only Hawaii at best that he had

HORRORS OF SIBERIA.
Brutal Scenes Witnessed by Captured
Sailors

Louis A. Paradyce, sailor, who arrived
at San Francisco, CAL, from China on the
Gaelic, tells a story of horrible treatment In
Siberian prisons. He was on the sealing
schooner Mary H. Thomas, and with another
sailor named Wilson went ashore on the coast
of Kamsckatka to fill water casks. A hurri-
cane drove the schooner off, and they were
left ashore. They had no provisions and
travelled inland to a camp of Russian sol
diers, where they were seizsd and accused of
being spies, and sent to Carazock, convict
station. Although Wilson and himself were
roughly treated, they were not fogged as
other prisoners were
There were about 5000 convicts at the
station, and every Wednesday those who
had disobeyed rules during the week were
given fifty lashes with the knout. A woman
was knouted, and three hours later gave
birth to dead child. OF 5000 convicts
in camp 1900 wore a ball and chain.
Many men were too feeble to walk, and
were dragged along by their companions,
while soldiers would prod them with bay
onets to make them move more quickly.
The convicts were fed with black bread and
raw meat.
Finally Paradyce and Wilson were taken
to VIadivostock and from there were sent
to the Kara gold fields, a fifteen
days journey. They suffered fright
fully from hunger and fatigue
Wilson gave out and had to be carried in
a wagon. The United States ship Marion
arrived at Vladivostocx and the officers
were informed by a merchant named
Smith Of Paradyce and Wilson's
fate, The commander of the Marion
demanded that the prisoners be given up,
and after considerable delay this was done.
They were taken to Shanghai on the Mar
ion and placed in a hospital. As soon as
Paradyce was able to travel he was sent to
Hong Kong on the Gaelic and thence came

Important Happenings as Told
by Telegraph and Cable.
A Singular Double Tragedy in a
New York Gun Shop.

One of the saddest tragedies in the polica
annals of New York City occurred at $50
O'Clock, a few afternoons ago. in the big
gun store of Hartley & Graham, 3lS anu 80
Broadway. William w. Reynolds, who for
thirty years past had been at the head of the
export department of the firm, shot and
killed Miles v. Kelly. head bookkeeper of
the house, and then turned the pistol
against himself. inficting fatal wound.
Absolutely no motive can be assigned Tor
the action, and all the persons acquainted
with the principals agree that Mr.. Reynolds
was crazy.
The men had been friends for nearly
quarter of a century, Mr.. Kelly having
served in Hartley & Grahams establishment
for twenty years. and during all that Time
they never once had quarrel as far as any
one knows.
Not a word preceded the shooting, and
that Mr.. Kelly was selected as the victim
was probably due simply to the fact that ne
had the misfortune to be the person near
est at hand when the insane impulse to
kill seized Mr.. Reynolds. For month
or SO the latter's friends have noticed
certain peculiarities in his actions he
would frequently make mistakes in his cor
respopdence something formerly unknown;
he was absent-minded and. hesitating in his
speech, and was seized with periods OF the
most intense deSpondency he was Hl1y
years old and married. He had no children,
and lived at 155 Hewes street, Brooklyn.
Mrs. Reynolds got to New York City about
s o'clock. She found her sister-in-law at the
hospital where her husband had been taken.
They remained with Mr.. Reynolds until it
was a certainty that he could never recover
consciousness, and wentaway at 10:3O clock.
He died at fifteen minutes of midnight.
No writing was found wnich could suggest
a motive for either murder or suicide, nor is
it supposed that the acts were premeditated
by Mr.. Reynolds. Hsnever carried pistol.
and the revolver which he used was new
one, taken from one Of the showcases.
1t still had the tag attached on which was
marked its catalogus number, its cost and
selling price. 1t is believed that 1t was taken
from the case after o'clock, when the clerks
had left the store. After it was taken car
tridges had to be got from another depar-
msnt before it could be loade1.

AN EXTENSIVE MILK CONTRACTOR.

Perhaps it is not generally known that Newtown has one of the largest milk contractors in this part of the state in the person of James Lee of Hawleyville. MT Lee markets daily about 10000 quarts. At the Hawley vile creamery he receives about 45 cans per day. Albert Church is his right hand man at this point. From Newtown he ships about 20 cans daily, Edward Nantio being in charge. At New Milford he receives 60 cans daily. He has milk route in New Milford. Mir Lee also receives milk as far north as West Cornwall, and from the stations between that point, Corn wall Bridge, Kent, South Kent, etc. Up the Shepaug he receives milk from Rom ford, Washington, Roxbury Station and West Morris. Mir Lee says it is possible he may build creamery at Roxbury Station, if enough farmers guarantee to furnish milk.
