KNOX HAD SAND.
A Gambler Who Gave His Life to Save
His Wife and Baby.

A company of ranChmen sat about
the railroad station in Pomona the
other afternoon waiting for the belated
overland train for Los Angeles. Every
man in the party knew the others, and
there being an hour or two to wait,
story telling of the early days on the
border and in Arizona and California
came natural. Stories of old times,
when Indians were bad and the white
pioneers knew what bravery meant,
were related, John Wilson of FL
Monte told the most absorbing story OF
the hour;
"Talk about sand in a man, gentle
men! l am telling you that it takes
sand Of the genuine article in any man
to try and stand off single.handed forty
or fifty Apaches, when he knows just
how the scrap will end, and that the
end will be his own death. But that
was just the kind Of sand that was in
Felix Knox when he was killed by the
ApaChes. You see Knox was an all
round gambler such as the tenderfoot
from the East scorns so much and
knows so little about, but he had a
heart in him bigger than any tender
foots head. Well, it was in the spring
of 10, Knox, with his wife and baby
and a Mexican driver, was coming

In one of our magazines. The article
will seek to bring the slave trade down
to it's present status.
The British museum was founded

William II. English, of Indianap-
oils, candidate for vice-president on the
Hancock ticket in 1880, is still described
as business man in his prime, with
''iron-gray halr and flashing eyes" He
devotes himself to the accumulation of
wealth, although already the possessor
of many millions.
Paul Bourget is writing a novel en-
titled "Terre Promise" 1t is designed
rs an answer to the attacks made upon
the Bourget school by Pierre Lott when
the latter delivered his address before
the academy. Bourget, in ''Terre Prom

paternity in cases of adultery" and the
work is intended for those who believe
that the mysterious tie of blood is bind

The late Mrs. August Belmont was
a Miss Perry, of Bristol, r. I. The
family has lived in the Perry homestead
since the days of Roger Williams, and
it counts the famous Commodore Perry
of Lake Erie fame as one of its distin-
guished members. The Perrys of
Rhode Island have supplied lieutenant
governors, congressman, state senators,
and other public men to the state, and
the family has always been financially
well-tO-do.
Mrs. Amelie Rives Chanler is much
distressed over the removal of several
rather famous old buildings in Rich
mond to make room for new and more
commodious ones. Especial regret
seems to have been excited by the de-
struction of the Allan house. This
building, which was located on the lot
at the corner of Fifth and Main streets,
was the home of the adopted parents of
the poet Edgar Allan Poe. Had she
known the old landmark was to be
sold, Mrs. Chanler says, she would have
purchased it and had the house re-
moved.
The earl of Essex, who died few
days ago, was "a jolly old soul, and
jolly old soul was he" He was three
times welded, his last venture in that
line having taken place eleven years
ago, when he was almost 70 years
old. The first of the family, SO far as
known, was a partisan of Charles l.,
and for his offensive partisanship he
lost his head. His son was slain in the
tower of London, where he had been
imprisoned. The earl succeeded to the
title and estates of his uncle, who was
the husband Of the once famous ballad

THE READING COMMITTEE.
To Meet Soon After Recess to Draft {
Report to the House.

To Meet Soon After Recess to Draft q
Report to the House.
WASHINGTON Jan. 2.-The Reading In
vestigating Committee Of the House will
meet soon after the recess for the purpose
Of making arrangements to draft report
for submission to the House.
1t is not considered likely that any
thing in the way of legislation will come
of the investigation, but members of the
committee are of opinion that the agita-
ton of the matter of the Reading combi-
nation will have a wholesome effect in
restraining the company from advancing
the price of coal as much as it might
otherwise have done. The members of
the committee are not very clear as to
just what legislation Congress could enact
to meet combination like that in the
anthracite coal business.
Representative Patterson, of Tennessee,
thinks that it might be possible to amend
the Interstate Commerce act or the anti
Trust act 80 as to meet the case, but adds
that grave constitutional difficulties
would be opened up and he is inclined to
the opinion that perhaps the wisest course
is to leave such matters to work them
selves out naturally.
Representative Lind, Of Minnesota, has
already stated that in his opinion the di-
vorce of the producing and transporting
business is the only method of preventing
the complete monopoly Of the anthracite
coal industry.

GUARD AGAINST CHOLERA.
Senator Chandler Reports New York's
Preparations Well Advanced.

Senator Chandler Reports New York's
Preparations Well Advanced.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Senator Chandler,
Chairman of the Senate Committee on
I'm migration, has returned from New
York in company with Senator Harris,
the Chairman of the Committee on Epi-
demic Diseases, Surgeon-GeneralW yman
Of the Marine Hospital Service, and DR..
Hamilton after making a careful exami-
nation of the preparation which have
been or will be made in New York to re-
pei the cholera. Mr.. Chandler said there
was first a reception hospital at the foot
of Sixteenth street, on East river, where
large new hospital is to be built this
winter to accommodate 100 persons, and
the Willard Parker Hospital now on the
same spot, the hospital at North Brother
Island, where, in addition to the main
buildings, are twelve large wooden
pavilions.
The Board of Health also has Riker's
Island, near North Brother Island, where
tents could be used.
GAIL these preparations, said Mr..
Chandler, "are we'll planned; the build
ings and plant are in excellent condition,
and seem to us to be adequate.
Gin addition to the State and city
preparations, there was' Camp Low at
Sandy Hook. In them 1000 people could
easily be kept in quarantine without dis
comfort. 1t might be stated at this point
that in connection with the Hoffman and
Swinburne Island stations, DR.. Jen-
kins contemplates the construction of a
floating hospital for treating all cases on
the water.
''But after all this, want to say that,
nevertheless, with cholera existing in
France, and in Hamburg, shall promote
the immediate PRONUNCIATION by the
Treasury Department of sanitary regula-
tions, and urge all State and city authori-
ties to get ready fir the cholera. I be-
lieve that safety can be found only in the
suspension of immigration and the stop
page of steerage transportation.
'"rhe two quarantine bills now pending
in the Senate and House will undonbted-
ly be pushed this week, with the suspen-
sion bill alongside, and I shall work for
the passage of the latter until the fourth
of March if necessary"

In competition with electricity. From
q paper from Prof Unwin it appears
that the transmission of power by COM
pressed air is practical to distance
Of at least 20 miles. 1t seems that
10000 horsepower can transmitted to
} distance of 80 miles In a 8O-inch
main at 1913 pounds per square inch,
with loss of pressure Of only 10 per

BATTLE ON THE BORDER
Another Bloody Engagement
South of the Rio Grande.
REvoLUTIoNIsTs ATTACK TROOPS

Although Outnumbered Two to One the
Mexican Soldiers Succeeded in RepuIs-
ing the Rebels-Ten of the Latter Killed
and Twelve wounded-The Government
Troops Loss Was Seven Killed and
Twenty Wounded.
WASHINGTON, Jan. "A special from
City Of Mexico says:
Col Ceron, Commander of the Mexican
military garrison at Nuevo Laredo, Mex
leo, has received a despatch from Guer-
zero, giving an account of another bloody
engagement, which took place on the
Mexican side of the Rio Grande, just
north of that place, between $50 revolu-
tionists and about 80 Mexican troops be-
longing to the Sixth Cavalry.
The revolutionists were commanded by
Prudentero Gonzales. They are the sam 9
detachment which made the successful at
tack on Mexican troops opposite San Ig-
nacio a few days ago.
They have been pursued for several days
by Lieut.. West, of the Third q. s. Cav
airy and troops.
The United States soldiers pushed the
revolutionists so closely that the latter
determined to cross the river into Mexico
and make another bold strike for the
cause for which they were fighting.
They had hardly crossed to the other
side when they struck the camp of the
Mexican troops who were engaged in
patrolling that section of the border.
The attack was made by the revolu-
tionists but the troops made determined
fight, despite the fact that they were
outnumbered two to one, succeeding after
hard fought battle in repulsing the
revolutionists, who reiterated down the
river.
1t cannot be learned from an official
source how many were killed, but it is
rumored that ten of the revolutionists
were left dead upon the field and that
twelve others were wounded, including
Prudentero Gonzales, who escaped on his
horse.
the loss to the Mexicans troops is said
to have been seven killed and twenty
wounded.
A large force OF Mexican troops are in
pursuit of the revolutionists who are
thought to be making their way to a rem
devious, near San Miguel, where they
will be reinforced by 300 more revolu-
tionists who are reported to have crossed
over into Mexico Thursday night.
