FOR WASHINGTON.

Judge C. B. Stuart leaves tonight
for Washington where he goes at the
instance of the bar of the territor!
to look after the interests of the ju-
dietary of the Indian Territory. The
Gainesville Hesperian has this to say
relative to his mission:
'The judge is in favor OF having
more judges there and having a
supreme court, 50 as to have a COM
plete territorial court system. AS it
is now when an appeal is taken it
must go to tho United States circuit
court at St. Louis and st Paul. This
is breaking up business, as it costs
almost a fortune to appeal"
The judge will not ask for complete
jurisdiction, as he thinks that will
not be granted.

John Thomas to the corridor man at the

ers, of the Fort Worth & Denver Rail
road. A Russian Hebrew came to this
country and established dry goods
and notion business. He was SO sue
cessful that he sent for his younger
brother and started to educate him in
the business. The boy was slower to
learn the ways of the world than his
brother had been, and the latter some
times grew impatient. One day he
said:

The Chinese legation has always been
an object Of curiosity in Washington, and
the mysterious goings on in the famous
old Stewart castle, were a never failing
source of wonder and speculation. Now
that the legation has d. magnificent triple
house for its home out on the Heights,
the interest in the Inhabitants is still fur
Their increased. The Chinese minister is
new to Washington. and his ignorance of
some of its ways was the cause of a
very peculiar complication the other morn
ing.
The monthly bills of the Washington
Gas Light company are printed on paper
of a peculiarly dirty yellow tint which
happens to be the exact hue of the Chi
nese emblem of mourning The long
strips are left regularly at the doors of
all houses in the city, and at the Chinese
one was left for the first time at the new
home of the legation, which is filled with
new Chinese Servents. The gas bill strip
was left in the veStibule, and being car
ried to the new minister, profoundly af-
fected him. 1t was evidently intended.
he thought, as a notification of some
body's death, and as it was left at the
legation door it indicated the bereavement
OF some family high in official life
The minister at once gave orders to
close the house. The usual instruments
OF mourning were brought out, the shut
tiers were drawn, and paSsers-by for the
remainder of the day were RECALLED with
a combination of curious noises such as
the Chinese only know how to utter when
engaged in bewailing the dead and the
minister retired with the satisfaction of
knowing that he had performed a diplo-
matte courteSy.-W Washington FoSt

sion, but it was a tremendous under
taking. He finally settled up with
most of the creditors, but the terms
of the settlement were never given to
the public. When he wound up the
affairs in this part Of the country as
nearly as possible he went ITO Utah,
where he was interested in silver
mining company and the profits from
the mine were poured into the lumber
failure hole and helped to satisfy the
creditors. The other stockholders in
the mime did not like Ferry's manage
ment and voted him out of office He
went into other mining ventures and
swo years ago went TO Washington to
engage in numbering. When last heard
of he was in a private asylum for the
insane near San Francisco, receiving
treatment. Thomas w. Ferry, who was
largely responsible for the wreck, is
at his old home in Grand Haven in al
most total obscurity. Another BROTH

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
YOUNG ALBERT HUGH CAUGHT IN 4
SNOW-sLIDE.
He was Carried over a Precipice
Falling $50 Feet, and Escaped
Almost without Injury.

The age of miracles has not passed,
lit would seem.
On Saturday last, Albert Hugh aged
10, with his father and uncle. were get
! ting out wood six miles up Logan can
yon, when Albert heard a snowslide
looming down the mountain. He called
to the others to run, and set the ex-
ample. Holding in his hands stout
lpole which he was using as a pry, he
lleaped as he supposed to a place of
safety, but instead, landed directly in
front of the mass Of snow which was
sweeping down the hill with frightful
rapidity. The slide folded him in it's
grasp, and the others were paralyzed
with fear as it dashed by them. AS
soon as they recovered their self-pos-
session. they looked for the young
man, but Albert was nowhere to be
found Two hundred yards beyond
was precipitous cliff, over which the
/ Slide dashed into a yawning chasm be-
| low. Between them and the cliff was
la shallow swale, and although hoping
against hope, they busted themselves
for an hour digging in the swale, and
then gave it up. They next went two
miles around and arrived at the place
where the snow had plunged over the
lprecipice What they expected to find
may be imagined, but who can de-
scribe their feelings of joy when they
saw young Albert quietly sitting on
top of the snow with the pole still in
his hands. He was somewhat dazed,
but Julhurt except for a three-inch
scalp wound on the head, and the won
derful part of the incident will be
understood when it is learned that his
drop was at least $50 feet, while some
who have visited the spot make the
distance even greater
He was at once taken to his home
and said that during the awful mo-
ment when he was falling, his whole
life passed before him.
The particulars of the remarkable es-
cape from a horrible death have been
obtained from DR.. Benedict. who was
seen by Herald reporter last night.
Il saw the young man yesterday"
said the doctor, land shook hands with
him. He complained only of a general
soreness, and in a few days will be
walking around again.

WAS THE WORK OF DAsrARDS.
Criminal Tricks by the sophomores
at Cornell.

Ithaca, n. Y, Feb. 21.-As supple
ment to the regular annual class riot
between the freshmen and sophomores
of Cornell, the sophonlores perpetrated
,. dastardIy and dangerous trick by
generating a chlorine gas in the hall
where the freshmen were holding a
banquet. Several freshmen were CIR
ried out insensible from the fumes. A
corps Of physicians were summoned
and prompt efforts were made to re-
suscitate the asphyxiated students by
the application of ammonia and stiHu-
lants
The freshmen are wild with rage and
the banquet has been suspended.
Several walters were overpowered
and others were almost wild with pain.
The hall is in possession of the police.
who are ransacking the corridors and
side rooms to find the source of the gas.
Miss Jackson, the colored woman,
who acted as cook for the students,
died at 1920 this morning "wednesday.
She was taken from the hall insensible,
10 the residence of DR.. Locllery, where
she expired.
IT is now known that the sophon1ores
obtained possession of a side room and
situated the generator of the deadly
gas so it connected with the banquet
hall by means of rubber tubes.
Threats of lynching are openly made,
one man exeiaiming that he would help
to string up the perpetrators.
