WAsuINGTOS, June - 1t is n fact not
generally known that naval officers and
crews in Chinese AMI Japanese waters On
the Asiatic station receive their pay in
Mexican dollars. "MeSicans" is the term
applied to them by Nc naval officers. The
paymastc. Of u ship makes q draft on q
banking establishment and receives
"Moxiclns" FOR the amount, which he
locks in his safe to make his payments.
In the Mediterranean French money is
used almost exclusively. In South Amer
lea it is usually American and English
gold. In Europe some years ago Amer.
lean gold was looked upon with some dis
favor, but English gold was always pop
ular.
Now American gold and even paper
money pass without difficulty. On the Asi.
attic station the "Mexicans" are purchased
by paymasters ut their bullion value and
are paid to the officers and crew at the Same
rate, usually being s. for every 81 due
the man. The money usually being ex-
pended in these countries the men want
the kind that circulates, and 'Mexicans"

CLEVELAND, June 1S-People passing
along Ontario street last evening were
startled by the piercing screams Of o
woman which came from the roof Of q
restaurant known as the New Wright
House. Looking in the direction from
which the cries came they saw woman
entnngie1 in the telephone and electric
light wires forty feet above the ground.
Her clothing was on fire and she was
loudly calling for help. Several men ran
up the stairs leading to the roof, and
Thomas Bell. stercotyper in the employ
OF The World, assembled By the fire escape.
Bell reached the unfortunate woman as
soon as the other men, and together they
released her from her perilouS predica-
ment. just as they had succeeded in free
ing her Bell caught hold of one of the
wires with his hands. In an instant he
was writhing with pain. Somebody had
the presence of mind to cut the wire, but
that did not save Bell.
Frightful Suspension in the Air.
He fell head downward to the fire es.
cape, coil Of wire being about his hips,
and holding him suspended in the air. He
screamed for help. and for a time it
seemed that he would be burned to death
by the flames that were playing about
his body. He was finally released, and to-
gether with the woman was sent to a
hospital. The latter, whose name is
Johnson. will die, her arms and logs be-
ing burned to a crisp. but Bell, though
badly burned, will recover. The woman,
who was a waiter in the retaurant, had
gone to the ROOF Of the building to see q
fire which was burning block away. She
leaned out over the roof to get a better
view. and in doing so grasped the electric
light wire with her hands.

An Indian Whose Word Is as Good as o

WASHINGTON. June 1S-Judge c. B.
Stewart, Of Ardmore, L T., who with
"Buck" Kilgore, OF Texas, and W. N.
Springer, Of Illinois, preside over the
three United States courts in the Indian
territory, will return this week to his
home, after a week in Washington. In
discussing the iDconvenienco OF the pres
ent unsettled state of land titles in the
Indian nations Judge Stewart said:
'Ardmore is in the Chickasaw nation.
1t is curious thing that the entire town
and the fortunes of all its citizens rest on
the individual good faith Of one man.
Richard McClish, an Indian.
''McClish owns every foot OF land on
which Ardmore is built, and is unable to
ALLEVIATE it lawfully to any white man.
He is. however, the soul OF honor, and
such is the perfect confidence reposed in
him that no owner Of property in that
town feels the slightest uueasncss ce-
garding his title. Dick McClish's word
is his bond, and he is held in the highest
respect in every nook and corner of the
territory"

ALTGELD 70 VETO THE LIBEL BILL
Also the Nomination Contest Eli! Prep ,red
by Hinrichsen and Tanner.

by HinriChsen and Tanner.
SPRINGFIELD. Ills, Juno 1S-It is said
by those close to Governor Altgcld that
he will veto two bills now before him.
One is the libel bill and the other Is the
bill providing that all contests fer the
nomination for particular Office shall
be settled by the state or county central
committee of the party to which the con-
testants belong. The libel bill provides
that in all libel suits only actual dam
ages may be recovered If it shall appear
that the publication was made in good
faith. and that its falsity was due to ms.
take or misapprchension of the facts, and
that n retraction was duly made il as
conspicuous a manner and place as was
the libel.
1t also provides that no exemplary or
punitive damages shall be recovered I'M
less n retraction shall have been de-
manded in writing and refused. The
governor. it is said, iouks upon these pro-
visions as atfording too much protection
to newspapers which are recklessly or ma.
liciously conducted. The election bill was
prepared jointly by John II. Tanner and
w. II. HinrichscD, chairmen respectively
of the Republican and Democratic state
central committees. The ground of the
governors opposition is said to be that it
virtually gives the state and county cen.
trail committees the power to dictate the
nominations for all the public offices Of
the state.
