Daughter of Gen. Flagler shoots q
Negro Boy Stealing Fruit.

WASHINGTON, Aug. miss Elizabeth
Flagler. daughter of General Flagler. chief
of ordnance of the army,Iand well known
in army and social circles. shot and killed
fourteen-year-old negro boy named Ernest
Green to-day at her home in the suburbs
of the city. The Flaglers and other fami-
lies in the vicinity have been annoyed
greatly of late by boys stealing their fruit
and damaging the trees of their gardens.
To-day Miss Flagler discovered young
Green on the fence stealing fruit and fired
at him from the second-story window. The
bullet entered his right breast, and, pass
ing through his body inflicted wound that
caused death in short time. Miss Flagler
went to police headquarters and gave her
self into custody. She is twenty-eight years
old and an attractive and accomplished
woman. Ernest Green is son OF DICK
Green well known to public men as one OF
Secretary Carlisle's messengers.
A coroner's jury was impaneled this aft
ernoon and an inquest held. after which
Miss Flagler was acquitted and discharged.
Miss Flagler was called to the witness
stand and made a statement. The boys
had been shaking the trees and stealing
fruit from their yard, and one day last
week she fired into the road. Some clothes
drying on the line were recently stolen,
and as there were so many boys around
she presumed some OF them were the
thieves This morning she heard the
branches of the pear tree rustlng. She
ran to her room and got her revolver from
the bureau drawer, fred into the tree and

HE HAD NO EAR FOR MUSIC.

Richard Harding Davis Tells of an Ocean
Travellers Experience with a Band.
Richard Harding Davis tells good
story of one of his transatlantic trips.
The passage, he says, was made delight
full by music at breakfast, dinner, and
tea, but there was one passenger who
objected to music. For the first three
days he remained dashed to his steamer
chair, like mummy, with nothing
showing but blue nose and closed
eyellds. The band played at the end
of the deck, and partly because the fin
gers Of the players were nearly frozen,
partly because of the sudden lurches
Of the ship, the harmony was sometimes
destroyed. Those who had an ear for
music picked up their steamer chairs
and moved to windward, but this young
man, being half dead and firmly dashed
to his place, was unable to save him
self. On the morning of the fourth day,
when the concert was over and the band
had gone to thaw themselves, the young
man suddenly sat upright and pointed
his forefnger at the startled passen-
gers. They had generally decided that
he was dead. Heavens knows, Pm a
sick man." he said, blinking his eyes
feebly, "but if live till midnight I'll
find out where they hide these horns,
and I'll drop EN- into the gulf stream
if it takes my dying breath. He then
fell over backward and did not speak
again till land was reached.

FIRST OVERLAND EXPRESS.
The Manager of the original Tells How
the venture Was Brought About.

The Manager of the Original Tells How
the Venture Was Brought About.
"The first express ever run across
the plains was started by man named
Butterfleld in 1853" said Alexander
Benham, of Montana, the manager Of
the first overland express. ut started
at Little Rock, Ark, and followed a
southern route through Kansas, New
Mexico, Arizona, and then to Los An
geles, Cal. About two years later, in
1860, our company was formed for the
purpose of carrying the mails to the
Pacific coast. 1t was known as the
Central Overland, California and Pixies
Peak Express company. William H.
Russell, Alexander Majors, and man
named Wadell formed the company,
and the contracts with the government
for carrying mails were made out in
their names. I was chosen manager,
and had my Office in Denver. The
southern route run by Butterfeld did
not have as much prominence as ours,
which for years was known as the
pony express route. 1t was started
in at st. Joseph, Mo-, running through
Nebraska to Fort Kearney, to Fort
Laramie, WyO, thence to Denver, to
Salt Lake City, to Placerville, New,
and to Sacramento, Cal. The whole
trip, extending half across the CONT
IA -,
when no accident befell, and accidents
were not so numerous as some people
have imagined. From st. Joseph to
Denver the trip took seven days, and
from Denver to Sacramento was
journey of ten days. That was, Of
course, by the regular stage route, and
little time was lost in making it. To
accommodate our business we had
about $50 coaches, most Of which were
kept running all the time. To haul them
we had 1900 horses scattered along
the route from st. Joseph to Sacrament
to. In addition we had 5000 or 1000
head Of cattle, which were used in
hauling heavy freight and transport
ing feed for the horses and feed for our
men. You can see that the business
was not by any means small one, and
it continued to grow as long as there
was any use for such means of trans
portation. This was until the compile
tion of the Union Pacific railway to
California in 1870. Then overland traf-
1ic and mail service could be managed
to better service by the railroad, and
our pony express went out of existence.
But up to that time, from the day when
the route was first opened in 1860, its
business had steadily increased. Even
the building of the railroad assisted us,
for our line was the best adapted for
carrying to western stations employees
and provisions"

Letter Combinations.

When King Stanislaus, of Poland,
then a young man, came back from a
journey, the whOe Lescinskian house
gathered together at LISA to receive
him. The schoolmaster, Jablowsky,
prepared a festival in commemoration
of the event, and had it end with a
ballet performed by thirteen students,
dressed as cavaliers. Each had shield
upon which one Of the letters Of the
words, "Domus Lescinia" (The Lescins-
khan House,, was written in gold.
After the first dance, they stood in
such a manner that their shields read
"Domus Lescinia;" after the second
dance, they changed order, making it
read, aides incolumis" (Unarmed art
thou here); after the third, "Mane sidus
loci" Continue the star Of this place.;
after the fourth, isis columna Del"
CBe a pillar of God; and finally, 81!
scande soliump' (Gol ascend the
throne). Indeed, these two words allow
of 1,556, 755,2OO transpositions; yet that
four them convey independent and ap-
propriate meanings is certainly very
curious.

BETTING WAS LIVELY.
Tho Cause Was Dealing from the Double
Pack Used In PinochIe.


A party Of FIVE gentlemen were play
ing a game Of poker at the home of a
friend the other night and had most
remarkable experience with the cards.
The old gentleman who lives in the
house is German and is very fond of
the game Of pinochle. He was not pres
ent at the time the poker players
started their game, but it seems had
left pinochle deck lying on the man
telpiece when he retired early in the
evening, says Washington Post. The
younger crowd were playing Decent
ante and 25-cent limit and had played
about an hour when one of the young
Fellows discovered that owing to his
run OF bad luck he was $40 loser. Seek
ing to retrieve his lost chips he sug-
gested change Of decks, and, having
seen another deck on the mantelpiece,
procured it and started to deal. Five
hands were thrown around and the
betting began. They all stayed. The
nrst man bet the limit and was raised.
The next man squeezed his hand few
seconds and raised again. So it went
all around the table, every player rails
ing the bet as it came his turn. Fin
ally they all ran out of chips, but they
kept on betting and several crisp
greenbacks were put in the pot. When
the showdown came a riot was mar
rowly averted. One man had four aces
and king. while the man next to him
held four kings and an ace. Another
threw down four jacks against fourth
hand, which contained three queens
and pair of kings. The fifth man
wasn't in it at all, for he only held
three tens and small pair The old
gentleman's pinochle deck had done it
all. All bets were declared off and the
game stopped. 1t took them all the
rest OF the night to divide the pot ac-
cording to the bets that had been made,
after which one of the players said a
bad word and threw the double deck
in the fire.

Managua, Nicaragua, May 6.-The
British forces evacuated Corinto yester-
day. Rear Admiral Stephenson receiv-
ed orders on Saturday to leave Nicara-
qua slol on Sunday, and after religious
servises the order was carried into eff
feet, the British flag being taken down
from the government building. Hun
dreds Of persons assembled along the
shore to see the embaTkation of the
marines and cheers went up as the
boats headed harborward. The war
ships weighed anchor at high tide and
all except a flagship left for sea. The
flagship, it Is understood, Is remaining
to salute the Nlcaraguan flag when the
government once more takes possession
of the government buildings.
1t Is rumored here that England Is
paying Chief Clarence $50 a day and
that scheme is on foot to restroe him
to his craftsmanship.
New York, May GA special to the
World from Tegucigalpa, Honduras,
says: Fighting has begun in Granada,
Nicaragua. Disorder is reported from
Leon. Also word comes from there that
followers of Ortiz, Zerula and Macher-
70, have united to make war on Zelaya.
It is fered that the threatened out
break on the Mosquito reservation will
extend to Cape Graclas.
Washington, May 6.-Dr. Guzman, the
Nlcaraguan minister has not been adj
vlsed up to 2 o'clock today Of the re-
ported revolution in Nicaragua. He
has expected that the sailing of the
British fleet would have quoting eff
feet on public sentiment. The expecta-
ton was strengthened when word came
that Vive Admiral Stephenson sred
salute to the Nicaraguan flag when 1t
was again hoisted over Corinto yester-
day. This courtesy was regarded as
doing much to heal the wounds made
by the incident. DR.. Guzman's last Of
fetal cable said simply: "Ships sailed"
In other quaters the fact that the re-
volution is along the east shore Is re-
garded as significant. This Is the Mos
quito region in which British influence
has long bee ndominant and which has
recently been created state under the
name of Zelaya. 1t has been appre-
hended by Central American diplomats
that If the Mosquito natives made trou-
BILE it would afford opportunity for fur
Their British intervention. One of the
best posted diplomats from that sec
ton says he considers it inevitable that
the Mosquito natives will rebel and at
tempt to restore Chief Clarence to the
throne. This would be denial Of Mic
aragua's sovereignty over the new state
of zelaya, and in the judgment Of this
diplomat, Great Britain would support
Clarence.
A telegram received at the navy de-
partment announces that the Alert ar
rived at San Juan Del Sur late Satru-
day night. The Alert will protect
American in terests on the Pacific side
Of Nicaragua in case of revolution.

Built for West African Chief to Ride
In.
A Birmingham firm has Just COM
pleted a palanquin which firm trad
ing in central Africa intends as a pres
ent for native chief. The body of the
vehicle consists of a spring mattress
supported on frame, which is carried
by a pair of Lakewood shafts sixteen
feet long. The mattress is jointed, and
there is a we'll in the center of the We
hlcle, so that the occupant of the pal
anquin may adopt a sitting, reclining
or recumbent attitude, the couch
being cushioned with thick horsehair
cushions, upholstered in silk tabouret.
The canopy, consisting of fine blue
cloth curtains with gold and silk
border and festoons of terra Gotta
silk, has a pyramidal roof, surmount-
ed by a crown, while the brasswork
OF the frame has finals designed from
the barbed spearheads in use in the
chiefs district. The structure would
be handsome in its way but for the
fact that the woodwork of the body has
painted upon it, in large letters on
either side, the name and title of the
chief-namely, Coffee Adam-Iron
Bar Duke" This feature, says the
Westminster Gazette, for which the
manufacturer is not responsible, is ex-
pected to particularly please the dusky
potentate, but it is fatal to the artis-
tic pretensions of the design.

AN IMPORTANT CASE.
1T COMES UP BEFORE THE
UNITED STATES COURT.
A Suit for an Estoppel The Eureka
Chemical Company Of La Crosse,
Makes the Trouble

Papers have been fled in the United
States court Of the Western district of
Wisconsin, by Tarrant g. Kronshage,
attorneys for the Sterling Remedy com
pany, of Chicago and New York, in
suit for estoppel and damages against
an imitation of No-to-bac, the tobacco
habit cure. The action is brought
against concern called the Eureka
Chemical company, of La Crosse, Wis.
The principals involved in these pro-
ceedings are of the utmost importance
to the proprietary interests of America
in general, and form in many respects
test case, the outcome of which will be
carefully watched by the many other
important manufacturing concerns sim
ilarly initiated Not only the question
Of imitation of name, trademark, form
of preparation and package, enter into
the case, but also the proposition
whether the actual advertising litera-
ture usediin establishing the publicity
of preparation can be stolen with inn
punlty, word for word, by an imitator.
The decision in this case will settle one
of the vital points in United States
trademark and copyright law.-Madi-

SIOUX LANDS TO BE OPENED.
gIOke Decides That tho State of South
Dakota Has No Right to Them.

Washington, May 6.-Secretary
Smith today decided that the state of
South Dakota is not entitled to the
$4,000 acres of valuable lands in the
Yankton Sioux reservation which the
state recently took steps to secure for
it's own use The entire reservation
comprises about 100000 acres and the
$4,000 claimed by the state include some
of the most valuable lands in South
Dakota. The reservation was to have
been opened for settlement within a
few days, but final action was deferred
pending the decision of the disputed
question. 1t is now probable that the
president will promulgate the procla-
nation withina few days and that the
opening will take place thirty days
thereafter.
