per man-were identified with plots
that failed and were compelled to leave
the islands. KatZer is an Austrian and
served for a time in the Austrian army.
He then came to America, enlisted in
the United States army and was until
August, 1894, a corporal in Light Bat

in San Francisco.
After his discharge last August Kat

and consequently he sailed for Honolu-
In. On the steamer he became acquaint-
ed with Samuel Parker, one Of Queen
Ills prominent partisans, and began
plotting for a royalist uprising. Upon
his arrival in Honolulu he was to assist
in the capture Of one of the island
steamers. but the provisional govern
ment frustrated the plot.
From that time the air was filed
with plots and rumor of plots, partic.
ularly the latter. Katzer was deep in
the confidence of the royalists and join
ed the provisional governments police
force in order to spy out the weaknesses
of the d~efenses of the palace or execu-
tive building. He concocted a scheme
whereby the palace could easily be zap
tured, but the royalists lacked nerve,
he says, and as the provisional govern
ment became acquainted with his plans
he left Honolulu in disgust and return
ed to the United States.
Wetmore, the other American plot
ter, doubtless hoped to overthrow the
provisional government and make him
self King Claude. He was born in Ohio,

by giving early and graphic reports of
the Johnstown food and has at different
times occupied important positions on

The government learned of his plans,
however, and informed him that he
must leave the island at once or he
would be cast into Jail. He left.

His Odd Home on a Vermont Hill.
The modern romancer is often a man
without q country. Robert Louis Ste"
venson, O Scotchman, recently died In
Samoa, his adopted home. Bret Harte,
the prince of American story t~ellers, has
resided for years in London, and Kip
ling. born in India and educated in
England, makes the United States his
home. Kipling married All American
girl, Miss Carolyn Balestier of Brattle-

Kipling is the daughter of J. N. Bale
sitter, at one time q Chicago lawyer and
later a large real estate owner In New
York. One of her brothers, the late
Wolcott Balestier, was an intimate
friend Of Mr.. Kipling and elaborated

Miss Balestier became Mrs. Kipling

have since made Brattleboro their home.
They erected an odd looking house in
Dummerston, a little place beyond the
Brattleboro line. The house is 80 feet

"The essential principle of tobacco,

treating salomine, a natural ~glucoside,
with hydrogen. Synthetic chemistry has
not made nicotine directly as yet, but it
has very nearly reached il, and the la
boratory manufacture of nicotine may
fairly be expected at any time. Conine,
the poisonous principle Of hemlock, has
been made alphabetically, and it is so
close in its constitution to nicotine and
so clearly of the same class that only

to be mastered, a problem which is not
very difficult when compared with 9TH

compound from which the nicotine of

For a number of years Mr.. Terrell
was reporter Of the Texas supreme
court, and he has served as a state sena-
tor. He was at one time a candidate for
the United States senate and was beaten
by John a.. Reagan. In April, 1893,
President Cleveland appointed him to
fill the Turkish mission, and the appoint
ment caused considerable newspaper
comment owing to the fact that about
80 years ago Mr.. Terrell wrote a poem
eulogizing John Wilkes Booth when the
actor assassinated President Lincoln.
Considered purely from the literary
standpoint, the poem shows imaginative
and constructive ability Of a high order,
and its gloom and imagery r some
what suggestive OF Edgar Allan Poe.
One verse will suffice to show the char
