The Neihart train on Sunday, brought
r. the body Of a colored man called
Walter Dunbar, which was found near
the railroad track between Belt and
Arlington. When found. the remains
of the unfortunate man were frozen

to rest, and succumbed to thecold and
wind. The wind blew very hard on Sat
urday night and snow drifted badly, but
not enough or cold enough to effect any
one that was not drinking. 1t must
therefore be a conclusion that the un-
fortunate man lost his life by being
under the influence of liquor.

Some observations of His Brother Ed tors
Upon the Life of Mr.. Childs.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 5.-The Times
says: There are few men whose lives
better illustrate the possibilities OF pref
erment III country like this where sue.
cess is not dependent upon inheritance,
than that of Mr.. Childs.
The annals of many men of modern
history, who have risen from OOscurlty
and small beginnings to prominence or
fortune, do not furuiih amy record more
striking nor events more interesting than
tho career of his Philadelphia news
paper publisher, whose name was so
familiar.
= Romance OF Nnny L".sou..
Tho Press says: Tine life Of George
W Chl.@, Is like a romance, romance
Of many lessons. IiIs youthful eye
caught something at the top Of the lad
der, and slowly, with finn grip and
careful step, he made the ascent
that seemed impossible to many
another, and as he worked and won he
looked for others to share his success,
until all over the world the name of
George w. Childs is known as that of a
liberal philanthropist and an upright
business man.
'lC the record Of my life" wrote he
on one occasion, "has any value, it is in
showing that at least il is not necessary
TO success il business that man should
indulge i'll sharp PRACTICES
Agarn he said: 81 have derived and
still lind the greatest pleasure in my life
IN dong good to others"
These two sentences alone tell the his
tory of one whose loss the world mourns.
His Name q Proverb.
The Record says: Philadelphia has
lost one of her most esteemed citizens.
The best known and kindest citizens as
all agree, is dead. The name of George
w. Chilis has long been Il household
one. His lifelong and princcly hos
pitali1y, his magnificent gifts to England
ON behalf of his own country of noble
memorials to those great poets whose
fame Is common heritage of the Eng
lish race, has made his name familiar
and honOred one, in the motherland.
where he is lovingly remembered as
''the friend of Dickens and Thackeray".
He has stood to Europe for years as the
typical American, the highest represen-
tative of the non-office holding freeman.
His life will always be held up as a
beacon to young men, and even today

News of the Two War Powers Brought
by Steamer.

1 ny Dt0hheIs
San FRANCISCO, November 8. - Tn,
steamer Belgic brought news from tn,
Orient under date Of Toxic, October 20
as follows:
The Corean peninsula has now beer
cleared OF Chinese troops from end Il
end. Corea was one OF the last vestigei
OF the middle kingdoms medieval mai
esty one of the last OF the little border
States that acted as buffers between the
big Empire and the "outer barbarians; =
Independent toward all the alien world
! dependent toward the Celestial Empire
alone. That was the anomalous status
Of these buffers. One after another they
have been shaken free by the impact o.
Western aggression. Burmah, Siam
Tonquin, AMMAN, the Pamir region-ali
have fallen away, leaving the flaDks o
the middle kingdom exposed to the kicks
OF the profane Occident. Corea alone re-
mained. To her relations with Corea
China could not choose but import some
element OF realism, for beyond the Dor.
ders OF the peninsula Russia stood always
ready TO advance. Therefore the Pekine
statesman openly called Corea a de-
pendency, and Europe believed that
they had both the will and the ability to
protect it. But two battles have sufficed
to drive the last Of the bannermen across
the Yalu river and to place a Japanese
army on the borders OF Manchuria. Ja-
pan by a very striking object lesson has
demonstrated the justice of her conten.
tion that, so far as concerned Chinese
tutelage, Corea's security against for
eign invasion was myth.
Ujina is port distant five miles from
Hiroshima, town on the inland sea,
where the Emperor OF Japan as COM
mander-in in-chief OF the military and ma
val forces has established his headouar-
ters. Hiroshima was chosen for the
purpose because it is the most southerly
point to which the main trunk railway
OF Japan has been pushed. Troops and
stores from every part Of the Empire
reach 1t by rail. The harbor OF Ujina is
capable of accommodating fifty or sixty
large steamers, and between Ujina and
Hiroshima military railway has been
built. October Is the last steamer of a
great fotilla OF Japanese transports
steamed out of Ujina: They carried a
corps d'armee aggregating $1,000 com.
batants with all their equipment, ambu-
lance, military train, artillery, etc. The
flotilla, heading to the northwest, steered
for the entrance OF the Pc Chi Ii Gull
to attack simultaneously Port Arthur
and Wei Hal Wei. Port Arthur and We
Hal Wei are China's only fortified har.
bors in the northern part OF her Empire.
Their works of defense were planned by
German engineers, and they enjoy the
reputation of being impregnable. Port
Arthur has docks capable OF receiving
big ironclads, and is an important nava
depot. The Japanese troops will attack
both places from the land side, and il
may be predicted that they will take
them. In that case the Gulf of Pc Chi
Lii and therefore the maritime ap.
proaches to Peking will be completely
commanded by Japan.

Lord snllshurs,s tribute.

LONDON, November 9.-Lord Salisbury
paid tribute to the late Gar in speech
on municipal politics in London this
evening. He embraced the first oppor-
tunity, he said, to express the grief ol
himself and OF his political associates al
the loss OF Alexander III. His expert
ence in the British foreign Office had
convinced him that all nations were
deeply indebted to the late Gar for the
peace which his seli-restraint and high
Christian character had secured. Men
with lower motives might have frequent
" yielded to the irritation and terrible
trials which Alexander had always re-
sisted.

A woman Bravely Saved From Being

WINDSOR, Ont, November 8.--When
fire broke out in Mrs. Jane Green's

but little later remembered that she
had left some money and papers on the
second floor and rushed back for them.
The building, which was Of wood, was
then all ablaze, and she was in immi-
nent danger of death. George Chene, q
chief OF the Windsor fire department,
snatched shawl from woman stand
ing near, and bolted in at the front door
and upstairs. A few seconds later the
roof fell, and the cry went up that the
chief was inside. A score of firemen
with axes, picks and hooks started for
the door, but just as they did so the sec
ond floor came down with crash, and
the chief with the woman in his arms
rolled over and out of the door. He was
blinded and blackened by smoke and the
woman was insensible. She was revived,
however, and is recovering. The chiefs
hair was singed off, his face blistered and
the coat burned from his back. The
money and papers were found unframed
in what was left of the building.

ment for lands they have sold the gov

which is the only one at which they
trade, gave them reception at the fair

They are, in short, holding grand cele-
bration of weeks duration. The In
dams have been presented with an ample
supply of provisions and are camped all
around the town. They are more numer-
ous than the inhabitants. All the scouts
of the tribe have already received 5000
each, and are spending it freely. The
Indians are making extensive purchases,
and. it is said, have already become in
debted for the greater part of the money
they will receive at the first payment.
They are drinking good deal OF fire.

NEwBERe, N. Y, November 8.--A few
months ago Mrs. Henry G. Adams of "a
Bay View Terrace, Washington Heights,
inherited from the late Mr.. Cornell of
Poughkeepsie, her uncle, $3.50, 900 or
more. Now Mrs. Frances Roselle re-
ceives about the same amount from an
uncle of the same name, the late Thomas
w. Cornell of Cleveland, o., who was in
the oil business there with ex-senator
Henry B. Payne. Mrs. Roselle is near
neighbor of Mrs. Adams. The eccentric
Poughkeepsie Cornell left about one and
half millions, and Thomas w. Cornell
of Cleveland, who was bachelor, leaves
about two millions. They are in no way
related to each other. Mrs. Roselle is
the wife of Charles Roselle, who not long
ago was street-car driver. She is a
daughter of the late Egbert W. Cornell,
who died here few months ago and was
brother of the Cleveland Cornell. A
sister of Mrs. Roselle, Phoebe Cornell of
Albany, receives like amount. Another
heir living in New York and one in
Duchess county come in for large
amount of the estate.

Owners Could Not Agree.

CHICAGO, November S.-The Southern
Hotel at Wabash avenue and Twenty
second streets is divided against itself.
A plain board partition through the Gen.
ter of the rotunda separates the two
parts, and all the boarders are on one
side of the partition. The division is a
disagreement between the owners of the
property and DR.. w. Clark, the man
ager. The southern half of the building
is owned by A. 4 A. E. Wells, and the
other half by the Jennings estate. DIR.
Clark had dispute with the Wells peo-
pie regarding the payment of rent and
he was ordered to vacate. He switched
the guests into the other half and built
the partition. Under the present ar
rangement all the stores in the southern
end of the building are shut off from the
hotel. The Wells Bros. say they will
build new entrance from Twenty-sec-
ond street and run their half of the house
in competition with DIR. Clark's half.

Second street this morning. This is the
second attempt McGee has made on his
wife's life. Officer G. A. Coming was at
tracted by the woman's cries, and it was
all he could do to disarm the infuriated
man. McGee gives as his reason that
his wife has ruined him in some way he
refuses to divulge, but the reason is sim
ply that the man is crazy, as it is only q
few weeks ago that he was released from

MRS. S. w. BARNES
PoisOns Her Husband in Order
to Get Rid of Him.
HER PARAMoUR IS ARRESTED

Her Infatuated Spouse Refuses to Be
Iieve the Evid ences Of His Own Senses,
Although She Has Made Full Com
fession of Her HelIish Crime.
SAN BERNARDINo, CAL, November g.
Mrs. s. w. Barnes, who with her par
amour, Tom Slater, was arrested for at
tempting to rid herself of her husband
by slow poisoning with arsenic and
strychnine, passed the night in the
county Jail. Her injured husband, who
is almost helpless from the effects of the
poison and has become mental as well
as physical wreck in consequence, was
at the Jail early this morning, and was
allowed to take his murderous wife home
for a short time. Letters found show
that Slater and Mrs. Barnes had planned
to elope' to Honolulu, and had their ar
rest been delayed twenty-four hours one
at least would have been out of reach.
In a trunk in Slater's room was found a
large amount of the woman's clothing,
taken there in preparation for elope-
ment. The reason for the poisoning was
that Barnes had considerable property
and had made will in his wife's favor.
Slater roomed at the residence of Mrs. +.
Gill of the Wonan's Christian Temper
ance Union, where the designations oil
the parties were made, and it was in bis
room the principal evidence OF guilt was
obtained.
The husband is infatuated with bis
wife and refuses to believe the evidences
of his own senses, although she made a
full confession this afternoon, stating
that she was under the influence of Tom
Slater, who not only held her in his
power, but placed revolver to her head,
compelling her to give the poison to her
husband. She admits everything as
charged, making it impossible for Slater
to make any defense. 1t is thought he
will plead guilty on the preliminary ex-
animation and not stand trial.
Her husband wants to 90 on the wom-
ans bond, which has been fixed al
So, 900, and to shield her from the con-
sequences of her crime. Barnes is an
Odd Fellow and member of the Junior
Order of American Mechanics. 1t is the
members of these orders who are caring
for him and had taken steps to detect
and stop the terrible crime. The woman
was about to desert two interesting chill.
dren as well as an injured husband. In
their possession was found the following
letter written by her l2-year-old daugh-
ter, Violet:
Please, Tom, wish that you would
mind your own business and leave my
mamma alone"
