TOURISTS RISKY ADVENTURE

Mr.. H. ]. Staff, a Liverpool clerk
on touring tri p in Ireland. has had
a remarkable escape from death at
Howth. On Tuesday evening he
descended by the grassy slopes which
lie some distance downwards from
the top of the cliffs for the purpose of
gathering will flowers. He was
thus engaged at point between the
Nose of Howth and the Bailey light
house when he accidentally missed
his footing, and went topping down
wards. This occurred at about a
quarter to six, and when he awoke
to consciousness about nine O clock,
three hours afterwards, Mr.. Staff
found himself resting on a platform
about a foot wide, living between
two lodges of rock, and on which
some stones and heritage had accu-
mulated.
The intervening three hours were
passed in merciful oblivion. His po-
sition was one calculated to make
the stoutest heart quail. Above him
the cliffs lowered to height of 200
feet, while the waves played 100 feet
beneath him. Here he was, suspend

only an insecure resting-place inter
vening between him and almost GER
tain death. He called for assistance,
but in vain. AS the night wore on
he still continued to call at intervals,
but still no answer came. Morning
at length broke, and with it came
rescue. About seven O'Clock John
Leyland and Andrew Moore, two
fishermen, were engaged in hauling
lobster-pots, when the cries from the
cliff reached them. They saw the
awful position of the man on his
perilous perch. They rowed the
boat to a point beneath him and
Leyland attempted to climb to his
assistance. but in vain. Moore adj
vised him to return to the boat, and
he did so, and both men rowed TO
Howth for assistance. The knowl-
edge of the coming help Inspired the
poor fellow with renewed courage.
The fisherman, on arriving at
Howth, acquainted the police with
the state OF affairs, and ultimately,
after further exciting scenes, rescue
party of coast guardsmen succeeded
in removing the unfortunate man
from his perilous position; no soon
er had they done so than the plat
form of rock came crashing to the
foot Of the cliff Westminster Ca

popular author, who has been a martyr to
insomnia. She gives a humorous account
her fruit1ess efforts to sleep. But, after all,
sleeplessness is not funny. True, one may
resort to opiates, but that is a terrible
remedy-at least as bad the disease.
The commonest banisher of sleep is indiges-
ton, which is responsible for more restless
nights than all other causes put together.

THE WAR IN THE EAST.
1t Must Continue Until China Formally
Sues for Peace.

sues Tor feace.
WASHINGTON, Nov. S0-While the Jap
anese legation has received no official CON
flrmation of the dispatches indicating that
the mission of Mr.. Detring, on behalf of
the Chinese, to Japan has been a failure,
the disposition there is to regard the in
formation as authentic. The time, they
say, has passed when the differences exist
ing between the two nations can be set
tied by the customs authorities, as if 1t
were a matter of mere business routine,
and they declare that If China really de-
sires to bring about peace through nego-
tiations ii must be done through regu-
larry accredited envoy from the emperor
of China to the emperor Of Japan. In the
meantime, and until China comes to realize
that this is the only condition under
which peace negotiations can proceed, the
war must go on,
The Japanese authorities here do not re-
gard with favor the reports of the inter
ference of the European powers. They
take the position that SO far Japan has
done nothing which could justify the in
reference of the foreign powers, and init
mate that 1t will be time enough for their
interposition when Japan shall really
make some demand that will be un-
reasonable.
This characterization applies only to the
European powers. There is no disposition
to scout the proposition of the United
States to mediate. On the contrary it is
suggested at the legation that it would be
entirely satisfactory to have the prelim-
innries of any peace negotiations conducted
by the American ministers to Japan and
China

MURDER AND SUICIDE.

WATKINS DEPOT, N. Y, Nov. 80.-Yes-
lerday morning about $50 O'Clock Miss
Jennie Caldwell, an employe OF the Hotel
Kendall, went to the room occupied by
Miss Kato Quirk, another employee, to call
her She did not receive any answer.
After Mrs. Kendall, the landlady, had
been called, Miss Caldwell pushed the key
from the ksyhole inside and unlocked the
door with the key to her room.
1t was found that o murder and possible
suicide had been committed. In the front
side of the bed lay the dead body of Kate
Quirk. A large carving knife, such as Is
used in restaurants, was on the bureau
which stood at the foot Of the bed. This
knife had been stuck into the girls throat
In front and then turned and withdrawn.
She was lying on her left side facing the
wall, and WAS undressed and covered up
partially with the bed clothes.
On the other side of the bed lay Charles
N. Richar'is, Of this village, a restaurant
keeper, and former landlord of the Jeffer-
son House. He lay in pool Of blood, as
his throat was cut in a very ragged man
ner, He was unconscious from the loss of
blood, but was breathing The girl had
evidently been dead some hours, as her
body was cold. There was a large pool Of
blood on the floor, and 1t looked as If
Richards had held the girl on the floor
and cut her throat. There is a mark on
her ueck as If she was choked to prevent
her making an cutlery. The only blood
on the bed is the pool in which Richards
was found lying.
Richards was removed to an adjoining
room, and Drs. Barnes and Scull dressed
his wounds. He was found to be under
the influence of morphine. He died at
1910 o'clock without regaining conscious
ness. The intimacy between Richards
and Miss Quirk had been a matter of town
talk ever since he came to this village.
