NOT EXACTLY NEWS.
a Few General Remarks and Familiar
Reflections.

| Reflections
When man becomes chestnut TO
himself, he is in bad way. 1t is not
uncommon for man to become wearl
some to others. In fact, continual asso-
citation and familiarity will breed con-
tempt" for any one for whom ones af-
affection is not continually renewed by
consanguinity or closer relations. But
with man whose egotism and self-es-
TEEN are not developed properly, it often
happens that his own nature grows tire
some and old. He has fathomed himself.
There are no more mysterious depths OF
soul to be plumbed He knows bis linn
tatiOns thoroughly. There are no sur
prises for him. He knows, too, that he is
weak, dishonest and infinitely below his
ideals. No man who in the loneliness OF
night ever examined himself, and order
ed himself out for inspection failed to
find such meanness, ignorance, and ap-
palling short-coming that he stood aghast
at it, because disgusted, and was only
preserved from suicide by the beastly
impulse of cowardice.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. pa supposed
crank, James A. Bowers, a hotel mental,
caused a sensation in the Coughlin case
by attempting, for the fun of the thing"
to talk TO the jury on Clark Street bridge
last night. He was brought before
Judge Tuthill to-day to answer for his
conduct. He was profuse in his apollo
gies. The court ordered him to take
the stand and make an explanation.
Bowers told the court that he knew
nothing of the Coughlin case. had no
money with which to bribe any one, and
had merel y shouted at the jury as they
were passing along the crowded street
for the fun of the thing" His appear
ance and manner was those of a crank.
and after revvr0 Gre Gre by Judge
Tuthill he was allowed to go.
Dr. James K Egbert, who held the
autopsy, testified that he could not de-
termine whether the wounds upon the

Prendergasps Counsel Will Accept Life

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dee. 20.-The defense in
the Prendergast trial is confident that
the fact that the jury was separated
when the members were allowed to
vote in the mayoralty election for a
successor to the prisoners victim will
entitle Prendergast to new trial if the
case goes against him. Attorney Wade
said to-day tr at there was no doubt that
the separation of the jury would give q
valid excuse for taking the case to a
higher court.
Attorney Wade, Of counsel for the
defense, created a sensation by an
nouncing in court that he would accept
any form Of punishment for Prender-
CAST but the rope. II will not
contest any other form Of YER
dict,' said the attorney, "and the
prisoners family will accept a sentence
for life in prison or an institution for
the insane. l will suggest such a dispo-
sition of the case to the jury, but the
prisoner must not hang. [ will contest
a death sentence in the higher courts"
DR.. Meyer was called by the state to-
day and the defense caused sensation

AVENGED PALLAS' DEATH.
Cedina Tells Why He Threw Bomb Into
the Barcelona Theater,


the Barcelona Theater.
BARCELONA, Dec. 23.-Joseph Cedina,
the Anarchist who has already con-
fessed he threw the bomb that caused
thirty deaths in the Liceo Theater, has
made a further confession, giving de-
tails Of the crime.
He says that he was selected by an
( Anarchist group to assassinate Gen. Mar
tinez De Campos in September last. He
in company with two or three comrades,
including Pallas, went to view the march
of the troops, it being his intention to
then assassinate Gen. De Campos, who
was the reviewing officer. He took a
position from which it would have been
an easy task to have carried out his
project, but when the troops arrived his
courage failed. The reason for this, he
says, was that he realized that if he
threw bomb amid the vast crowd that
surrounded Gen. de Campos he would
have killed and wounded hundreds of
persons. He had the bomb ready to
throw, but the thought that many limo
cent persons would suffer restrained
him from throwing it.
Palas, as the time set for the assassi-
nation drew near, urged Cedlna to
throw the bomb. Seeing that Cedina
hesitated Pallas angrily snatched the
bomb from him, saying: You're
no good" Pallas' nerves were
evidently unstrung by the wrangle,
and for time he hesitated to
throw the bomb that he had
seized. Had he thrown it as he orig
inaily intended he would have killed
Gen. de Campos, but the delay which
allowed the crowd surging about the
reviewing stand to grow thicker, saved
the life of the General.
Pallas when arrested and until his
execution insisted that he alone was re-
sponsible for the assassination, and
despite the close questioning by the
authorities he never by a word betrayed
that Cedina or anyone else had any
thing to do with the crime. 1t was this
fact that made him hero in
the eyes of the Anarchists who
knew all the facts. His stoi-
cism and willingness to accept
death rather than to betray his comrade
led Cedina to determine that he would
give effect to Pallas' threat that his exc
cution would be avenged. Shortly after
Pallas was shot at Mount Juich, Cedina
began his preparations to avenge his
camrade's death, and the explosion at
the Liceo Theater followed.

BABY RUTH'S DANGER.
Plot to Abduct the President S
Daughter.

ABILENE. Kas., Dec. 22.-A package of
letters outlining plan for kidnapping
Ruth Cleveland and holding her for a
ransom was found here and the police
have identified the recipient Of it as a
tramp, eastward bound Three women
and TWO men are named in the letter,
two of them residents of Washington,
and the scheme is evidently serious
one. Twenty thousand dollars, it is
claimed, can be secured.
The letters, two in number, were
picked no on the street here Wednes-
day by q country woman and handed to
the police. One letter is from Topeka,
lated December 10, and says.
We have concluded to make two jobs out
of the White House business. We will take
the Oldest child first We can get her all
over to us and we will keep her until the
reward is offered. Itmeans thousands to us
to get this child Ruth and we will get her,
too, III January. Address me in Chicago.
We will go right on.
The other letter was from Minneapo-
lis and written prior to the one already
quoted. 1t said:
We have everything ready for the White
House and will send Grover to Hades when
$40, 600. VIII start for the White House
now. We five never failed in our lob and
won't now. There is much more i'll the
