EDWIN BOOTH MEMORIALS.
His Boyhood Home and Reminiscen-
ces of His Early Days.

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. led
win Booth will not be forgotten in
the state of his birth. In the court
house at Bellaire, near which he
was born, is a handsome painting
of him presented by the people of
Hartford county. On his BIRTH
day, Charles +. Ford presented to
the city of Baltimore, as a fulfill
ment of the wish of his father, Jno.
II. Ford, a painting of Booth, as
Hamlet. 1t represents the TRACE
dian at the age of 30, and it was
given a place in the reception room
at the city hail. In presenting 1t
Mr.. Ford mentioned the fact that
this school room of Booths boy
hood, the cellar in which he and
John Clarke gave their first per-
Torrance as boys and the dwelling
in which he courted his first wife,
were but a few steps from the city
hall, while the theatre in which
his father and he had won many
OF their greatest triumphs was d.
rectly across the street. Let me
recall the fact, said Mr.. Ford, that
the monument of Shakespeare in
Central park, New York, was the
result of performances given by
Edwin Booth and the city of Brook
Ign has recently gived 100000 for
park statuary. He hoped that
Baltimore would erect a statute to
Edwin Booth.

japan Will Not Do It.

TACOMA, Wn., Nov. l9.-Japan
will have control Of the worlds
supply of camphor should it get the
island Of Formosa as a part Of its
indemnity from China, according
to Attorney Pichard, who lived
years in Asia. CamphOr sold for
less than 10 cents a pound 20 years
ago, but it has advanced to over ST.
a pound. 1t is generally believed
by japanese merchants and travel
ers that if Japan had not been
drawn into the war with China it
would have seized the Hawaiian
islands on the ground that there
are more Japanese there than any
other nationality. These men look
upon the move to ecure Formosa
as in line with Japan's policy to
strengthen herself as the ENGLAND
of the Pacific )" and as preliminary,
by securing the Philippine islands
and the Hawaiians islands also
should the United States fail to
annex them,

Murderoua Incendiaries,

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Nov. ia
reign OF terror has neen instituted
in this city by incendiaries. They
have destroyed about thirty sta
bles and outhouses during the past
ten days, and on Saturday night
four fires were burning at once and
the entire department were out.
The police have so far been unable
to detect the perpetrators. Last
night a climax was reached in the
bold attempt at murder. James
Brennan, living at Sth and Carpen-
ter street, went out to his stable
to feed his hors and found two
men setting fire to his barn. He
started to give the alarm when he
was siezed and choked into insen-
sibility. He gave one cry that was
heard by Perry Cassleigh, a neigh
Dor, who ran to his rescue, and
dragged him out OF the building
and extinguished the flames. The
fire bugs escaped.

. NOTED swINDLER DEAD
He Grew Lazy and Was Roped in
at Last.

CHICAGO, Nov. l9.-Dick Is dead.
Strangers and residents of Chicago
who have visited Armour's pack
ing house to see how cattle and
hogs are killed, never left the place
without seeing one Of the greatest
confidence players and swindlers
that was ever known. The prince
of deceivers was a mammoth
brown steer, known as Dick, and
whose companion, Phil, still car
ries on the swindling business at
the old stand. Dick had been care
fully trained in the business.
Western cattle when unloaded at
the stock yards are unusually wild.
1t was the business Of Dick to mix
with the drove Of cattle for a mo-
ment and get them toward the
killing pens. A gate led into the
"beds," and Dicks business was to
turn sharply and, as if accidental
ly to one side, and let the unruly
western cattle rush into the pens
from which they would be taken to
be killed. Dick would return to
his old stand and wait for the next
consignment. OF late however,
Dick has been lazy. He performed
his duties slowly, and prodding
would not make him hurry. When
killing began at midnight last
night, he, too, was driven into the
pen into which he had led many,
and was killed.

A Good Policeman Killed.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 19.-Late
last night Policeman Kellar was
murdered by a man who gave his
name as Bernard Bunchorst, but
this is believed to be an assumed
name. Bunchorst was found ~
ing drunk and was picked up by
Officer Kellar who started with
him towards the patrol box. On
the way the man darted up the
street. The officer and a friend
started after him and so did
Officer Schultz. When within a
few feet of the corner he wheeled
and fired one shot and continued
running. Officer Kellar was shot
through the right eye and died
Immediately. When the crowd
which had assembled around to
see what happened, they tried to
take the murderer from the officers
and hang him. The streets at that
hour were filed with people just
coming from the theatres. When
taken to the station he gave the
name of Bunchorst and claimed to
be an engineer.

Carried the Ball 80 Years.

CREsToN, Ia, Nov. 19.-The case
of Geo. Sackett, of Adair county, q
veteran Of the civil war, from
whose head surgeons have just re-
moved a minnie ball, is an excep-
ton. For 80 years he carried in
his head a minnie ball weighing
nearly an ounce. The exact loca-
ton Of the ball was never known
until the day of its removal. It
never bothered Sackett until re.
Gently, when an abscess formed in
the nasal passage and the discharge
from the nose became irritating.
This enabled the doctors to locate
the ball in the tleshy part OF the
head, back Of the eyes, and near
the nasal passage. The operation
was successful and Sackette exc
perienced no serious results.

NEW YORK, Nov. ia special

president was to promote an en-
ormous number Of men from all
grades Of army and navy officers

during the revolution. Although
this will add two fold to the army

and Congress will not refuse to

manned in power, a bill which cut
down the standing army in oppo-
sition to his views. Congress will
soon pass a similar bill, however,

THOSE TURKISH oUTRAaEs.
Bringing the Armenian Assassina-
tors to Book in Turkey.

LOTb W oOOh III AuThoys
I. LONDON, Nov. ia dispatch to
the Daily News from Constanti-
nople says that the energetic &C
tion of Sir Phillip Curry, the Brit
ish ambassador to Turkey, has
caused CONSERVATION among the
members OF the Turkish govern
ment. Everything has been done
to keep the secret the fact of the
outrages. Information from vari-
Gus sources proves that the Sassun
affair was most serious. A dispatch
from Constantinople to the STAN
dard says that in response to the
protest made by Sir Phillip Curry,
British Ambassador to Turkey,
the Porte has unreservedly with
drawn the charge against Mr..
Hallward, the British consul at
Van, Of melting the Armenians at
Sassum and elsewhere to revolt.
The charge grew out Of the investi.
cation made by Mr.. Hallward into
the Armenian massacres and his
report to the British ambassador.
The governor of Bitlis, who is SER
iously involved in the outrage,
made the charge for the purpose Of
revenge. The Sultan has decided
to send a committee composed Of
three members Of his military
household and one civilian to
Sassun for the purpose Of making
an impartial investigation into the
outrages on Armenians. The
latest news is to the effect that
many of the Armenians who were
supposed to have been killed fled
from the soldiery and are now re-
turning.

"ME TOO PLATT" PRATTLEs.
He Will Support Strong and a Re.

1OIH AS6
NEW YORK, Nov. I9.-Ex-Senator
Platt has given out a statement on
the issues OF the day. He said
among other things: 81 venture
the prediction that any attempts
on the part of self-constituted COM
cts or ambitious busy bodies to
forestall their work and boss the
action of the legislature will be re-
sented by Mr.. Lexow, his associates
and by people generally. AS for
the new municipal administration,
Mr.. Strong will have my earnest
support In all his undertakings.
Such influence as L have will be
his, whenever he wants it. l pre-
dict the present legislature will
supplement the work of the Repub-
lican constitutional amendment by
adopting such reform measures as
will be calculated to insure fair
elections and good municipal gov
eminent. The law should provide
for the maintenance of the bi.par.
tisan character Of the police board.
In no other way can there be a
guarantee of fair elections. A sim
gle head may be suitable enough
for other departments of the city
government, but the principal Of
the new constitutional amendment
should be sacrediy adhered to so
far as it affects the police board"
