SHE'S A MONSTER.
A Fourteen Year-Old Girl Who is
Guilty Of Numbering Two Children
and Other Horrible Deeds.

Columbia, S. c., July pa report
from Fairfield county gives Anna Bell

in the form of a 14-year-old negro girl
who disemboweled a three-months-old
baby and then hung a six-year-old boy
over a we'll and burned him with a
torch because he refused to agree to say
that he had killed the child The girl
had been sent to the house to cook din
ner by the parents, who were working
in a field near by. In a few minutes
she came to the parents and told them
the boy had killed the baby
The boy was found suspended over
the well. She is now under arrest. The
same girl some months ago was found
disinterring a corpse to rch it of a
breast-pin. Three years ago she killed
another baby, but was cleared at her
trial because of her age.

Sofia, July 2O.-The funeral of ex-
Premier Stambuloff to-day was prolific
of exciting scenes. The police were
under orders to take precautions to Sc
cure tranquility. Detachments occu-
pied the side streets, keeping out of
sight in the houses.
The coffin was covered with garlands
and wreaths. Representatives of all
the foreign powers except Belgium. fol-
lowed the funeral train. Three hum
dred PAGES from the house the spot was
reached where NJ Stambuloff fell by
the dagger Of the assassin. The cor
tege was held, and NJ. Petcoff, who was
with the deceased when attacked and
who was himself wounded. made a
speech. His head and arm were BAN
daged. In an impassioned harrangue.
he charged the enemies Of Bulgaria
with the terrible crime of numbering
the man to whom the country owed
her independence and the Prince his
throne. He was still speaking when q
loud cry was raised:
Run for your lives"
A TERRIBLE PANIC ENSUED
and the crowd rushed to escape. Men
and women were trampled upon, and
the children carrying wreaths as a
part OF the procession, threw down the
flowers and ran screaming.
A detachment Of gendarms rode up
swords drawn, and restored order. All
the foreign diplomats retired. except
the representatives Of Germany, Servia
and Roumania. The funeral train had
hardly started when a second panic
broke out. Wreaths were thrown away
and trampled under foot while the
bearers fled. The bedraggled garlands
were gathered up, and the cemetery was
finally reached.
Here the enemies of Stambul0ff and
the friends of Major Panitza, who was
executed some years since for con-
spiracy at the instance of NJ Stambu-
loff, had organized a hostile demonsua-
tiOn. The grave of Paqitza had beer
bedecked with flowers and flags and a
large crowd assumed a menacing at
titude in the path of the hearse. A de-
tachment of cavalry dashed up and pre-
vented a collision. The coffin
WAS LOWERED IN SILENCE.
There was no grafton and no ceremony,
beyond the hooting and hurrahs Of a
band of his enemies, who We're only
prevented from attacking the remains
by the cavalry who surrounded the
grave.

WHY windmlIls Burned Down.

OF the production of fire by the fric-
ton of wood against wood, windmills
of the old construction gave, on large
scale. some disastrous examples. When
the force Of the wind increased, the
miller was obliged to bring each Of the
sails in succession to the ground in or
der to unclothe it, but when sudden
soualls came on this was impracticable,
and the mill. in extreme cases, ran
away-that is. could not be stopped.
Everything was now done to increase
the grip of the wooden brake round the
great wheel on the driving shaft, anc
water was poured copiously over them,
lint in spite Of all this flames would
sometimes burst out from the intense
friction and the mill be probably
burned down as the result. The beau
tiful machinery Of the modern wind
mill. by which the miller controls the
action of the sails from the interior Of
the building, has reduced this danger to
, minimum.-Notes and Queries

satoIii's English Speeches.

One characteristic of Mgr. Satolli is
the power of his memory. His duties
require him tn make frequent speeches
before American congregations, and
therefore IN the English language. He
writes his speeches out in Italian, for
mulates in his own language and on
paper what he wishes to say and in Just
what words he wishes to say it, has
these speeches translated into English
by his interpreter and then commits
the English to memory. So wonderful
is his memory and so thorough his mas
terry of detail that no one would sus-
pect from listening to his utterances
that he was not an English scholar.
Although not understanding the words
he speaks, he gives them an infection
and a pronunciation that are nearly per-
feet and proves that the power of imita-
ton has been strongly cultivated within
him, for he copies every emphasis
