MR.. GLADSTONE is SUFFERING
FROM A COUGH.

London, March The following
bulletin was issued tonight by Mr..
Gladstone's physicians:
Mr.. Gladstone is suffering from a
troublesome cough, due to catarrahaI
inflammation of the throat His
temperature, however, is only slightly
above the normal and his strength is
good. He remains in bed
Mr. Gladstone was in a cheerful
mood during the day and was able to
dictate replies to many of the letters
inQuiring about his condition and eX-
pressing sympathy.
Last night he dined with his late
secretaries at the Brooks club and
walked home. The night was raw and
he became thoroughly chilled. On his
arrival he was put to bed and a physi-
clan summoned, in spite of his re-
monstrance that it was only a slight
matter This morning his condition
was such that another physician was
summoned.
This afternoon one of the physicians
made public statement to the effect
that Mr. Gladstones illness is IN
doubtedly serious, though, in the alb
sence Of high fever, there is no great
danger at present.
He is kept in bed, in spite Of his re-
monstrances, declaring he will be all
right in a day or two. His doctors do
not agree with this view and declare
he must not leave his bed till con-
siderable improvement has taken place
The report of his illness spread with
remarkable rapidity, and inquiries as
to his condition are coming in from
many quarters.

TRICkED BY LAWYERS
Disrepulable Advantage Taken in a
Damage Suit.

LeXint00n, KY, March THE attor-
neys for Col w. c. p breckenridge
in the famous Pollard Breckinridge
suit played a trick on the plaintiffs at
torney here. After the testimony for
the defense was in the local attorney
for Miss Pollard began, looking about
for rebuttal evidence, which he says
he found plentiful. He prepared a list
of persons whose dispositions he de-
sired to have taken, and served notice
on John T. Shelby, Colonel Bruckin-
ridges law partner, and one of those
who assisted in the taking Of the dep
ositions for the defense, that he was
ready to take dispositions in favor Of
his client
Mr.. Shelby filed notice with the ex-
aminer that he was not the recording
attorney for Colonel Breckenridge, but
merely assisted without compensation.
Notices were then served upon DR.. r.
J. O'MahOny, G.. H. Stoll and Desha
Breckenridge, all of whom assisted in
the taking of the dispositions for Col
onel Breckenridge, and each of them
filed a like notice, and Examiner Bull
lock refused to hear the case until the
recording attorney was notified.
This, as it was aimed to do, took up
so much time in communicating with
Messrs Carlisle and Johnson, at Wash
inton, that it is now too Late, and the
plaintiff will not get any rebuttal ev-
idence to enter against the testimony
secured here for Colonel Breckenridge
in the trial which comes up in Wash.
ington tomorrow.

Methodist church at this city, has got

his arm around" and kissed. A long
statement has been published purport-
ing to come from the young lady, and
considerable of a rumpus is stirred up
in the circles of this city. 1t is even
claimed by the Alliance, one of the
papers published in the city, that pre-
vious to coming to his present charge
the reverend gentleman had been
tangled up in a case where he had
made improper advances to member
Of his church. Whether there is any
truth to the statement is not known.

HERR RANDHARTINGER AND
MODERN MUSIC.

The death of Benedict Randhart-
niger, the veteran Austrian musician,
is a reminder of how new a thing
modern music is. When he was born
in 1902, Josef Haydn, the father of the
symphony, had still seven years to live,
and when Haydn was born in 1882,
Johann Sebastian Bach was in the
midst of his creative work These
three men join hands across the whole
history of modern instrumental music,
aid it is startling to reflect that this
musician who has just passed away
must have talked with men who could
remember Bach. Herr Randhartingar
was a schoolfellow of Schubert and a
teacher of Listz, and one Of the most
widely known musicians in Austria.

ports that they have made creditable
progress in the arts of civilization.
Mr.. Clum should be competent judge,
for he spent several years with these
Indians on the San Carlos reservation
in Arizona, and afterward it became
his duty, in April, 1877, to assist in the
capture at Ojo Caliente, n. NJ, of
Geronimo, Francisco and other Apache
renegades. subsequently Geronimo
escaped again, and after new career
of bloodshed and rapine surrendered
to General N. A. Miles. This was in
1856. Later the Apache's of Geronimo's
band, men, women and children, were
sent to Alabama. For the first year
or two the mortality among them was
very great, but they have now become
acclimated. Each family has frame
house equipped with cooking range
and necessary furniture, to live in.
The Indians have adopted n civilized
style of dress; the men weave baskets
and the women wash clothes. In the
matter of personal cleanliness every
one of them is compelled to battle
once week and some of the men do
so every day. a company of infantry
has been formed out of the young
men and their barracks is part of
the Indian village. Geronimo has
been elected an alcaldc, or justice,
and tries minor offenses reported to
him. His sentences to terms of i'm
prisonment in the guard house seem
to give general satisfaction. This
once bloodthirsty chief is now con-
tent to make an honest penny by sell
ing bows and arrows and also photo
graphs of himself. The young chill
dren are being educated in the settle
ment, and the older ones attend the

HE LOOKED SHABBY.
And Monte Carlo Shut Its Doors Against
Lord Salisbury.

IOFu SufthDurys
Although Lord and Lady Salisbury
make point of spending the major
part of every winter and spring at
their chateau of Beaulieu, which is
close to Monte Carlo, yet both of them
carefully avoid ever setting foot on
the property controlled by the mana
gers of the casino, and, indeed, re-
course with the prince and princess of
Monaco.
This is due to the treatment to
which they were subjected by the
management of the public gambling
establishment few years ago. Walk
ing up the steps of the casino with his
wife, with the object of visiting the
gambling rooms and Of inspecting the
gardens, Lord Salisbury was directed,
to apply at the office for ticket of
admission.
Unfortunately Lord Salisbury Is ex-
ceedingly careless in his attire. wears
shocking hats and ill-fitting, slouchy-
looking clothes, while the marchion-
cssuis equally dowdy- looking in her
dress and utterly Indifferent to the
requirements of fashion. The conse-
quence was that neither of them ere
ated very favorable impression upon
the people at the Office, and when, in
reply to the usual request to state his
occupation, Lord Salisbury replied
that he was prime minister of Eng
land, which he was at the time, he
was greeted with shout of laughter
and an invitation to ''get out" on the
ground that ''cranks and ways and
people like you" were not admitted.
No explanations would satisfy the
officials, and so the premier of Great
Britain and his marchioness, who is
one of the most arrogant and naughty
of English peeresscs, were COM
PEELED to leave without obtaining
permission to enter, literally driven
away from the gates of the casino in
the most discourteous manner possible.
Curiously enough, when the incident
was reported to the casino authorities
and the Indignation of Lord Salisbury
made known regarding the treatment
of himself and his wife, but scant
apology was made, and, instead of
sending him a perpetual pass to the
grounds and premises, the manage
ment merely offered him badly
situated ''loge" for a performance at
the the rtcr.

Con, near Ashland.

A late dispatch from Ashland says, a
sensation has been caused at Brule by
the discovery OF coal on the banks OF the
Brule river on the old copper range. The
matter has been kept very quiet the past
two weeks, Application has been made
to the governor for a reward for the find
ing of the mine. and parties are buying
up all the lands In the vicinity OF the
discovery. The woods are overriin with
miners prospecting for other mines. The
only discovery that has so far been made
is near the center Of section a3, town As.
range 10. The vein IL being opened up
and from present indications it will be a
large vein, being about forty feet wide
and six feet thick. Coal miners clai m
that the prospects are good for Il heavy
output OF coal. and before another week
aud loose rocks, preparing for the dIiil,
which will soon be at work. A company
has been formed OF leading Ashland bus
mess men and plenty OF money is behind
the enterprise, and 1t will be pushed for.
ward with all possible dispatch. The
discovery was made by NJ. Murray, an
old miner, who has been prospecting on
the copper range for the past year. with
only poor success. To testthe coal three
bushels were brought here 10 day and
burned in IA blacksmith shop. Iron was
quickly heated and the coal burned as
well as could be expected. it having only
been out OF the ground few hours.
There is no doubt out that rich discoy-
cry has been made and coal will be mined
for the market on tho banks Of the Brule
river within thirty days. The coal fam
inc here having nearly stopped naviga-
tion, the find is regarded as significant,
and there is no lack OF capital to push
the mines.
