TEE BABY MADE NO OUTcRY.-Little
jeanette Butler, the three-year-old
daughter of Mr.. A. St. Clair Butler, q
prominent tobacco manufacturer of
Richmond, set fire to her clothing
while playing in q room set apart for
her doll house, yesterday evening, and
died from the effects shortly afterwards.
A very pathetic feature of the accident
was that the child made 10 outcry, and
when found was trying with a fan to
put out tbs flames. Her silence was
explained in the remark to her mother
when she came in: Mamma, you told
me not to touch the matches, and was
just lighting my dolls candle.n Had
she made an outcry her. mother who
was near by could have saved her
from Injury.

OUR LADY OF PROMPT SUccoR. R.-The
statue of Our Lady of Prompt succor
was crowned on Sunday at the Ursuline
Convent, in New Orleans. The cere-
mony was to have been most impos-
ing one, similar to that of the crowning
of the Virgin OF Guadalupe in Mexico,
but the unfavorable weather prevented
demonstration. The ceremony was
held under a special decree from the
Pope. It was to Our Lady of Prompt
Succor that the Ursuline sisters prayed
Jan. 15, 1915, that the British forces,
then before New Orleans, would not
capture the city, and it is believed by
deyout Catholics there that Jackson's
success was due largely 70 the prayers
of the sisters.

A Russian Doctor Funds tho Ar Has
 100000 Germs to the Cubrc Yard.
 IL seems nowadays sthat when a scientist desires a little recreation or tO fin in gomc spare time he polishes up his microscope, sharPens his pencil and begins a vigorous search after microbes, says the New York World. His hunt is always sure of being successful judging from past rcsults-no matter where he looks for them, for they have been found in clothing, books, carpets and furniture, while in the mouth and throat of every human being they are said Co exist in incredible numbers
 The latest contributor to the rapidly growing mass of information regarding microbes is a Russian bacteriologist, Dr. Maximovitsch. whose rcscurchus have been made iu the rooms and cor riders of the s.. Petersburg hospitals The cold weather which freezes the Russian capital during more than half the year seems to have had a favorable effect on the fagandiry of bacteria, judging by thc figures given out by this learned scientist
 Itis a matter of common belief that the air of habltati1us contains an eS- traorajuary qUarity of microbes, but a quantity which varies continually, for when tho air is perfectly still the number may be reduced to almost zero. BU. when Che air was aEitated and Glicd with Gust by dry sweeping and dua,iug, Dr. NaEimovitsch found that al the cubic yard. He therefore c0u- cluded that thcre muat bc even great ar quantity ot microbes where jhc dust came from the floor That his theory was correct is shown by the startling results of his investigations.
 In the rooms which were exception ally well cared for and swcp. daily the doctor found iu Che floor from li,0gD,- GOO tU @# 0aJ. .y00 microbes per square yard of surface. In thc neglected cor. riders, however, and those which were cleaned ug longer intervals, the scieut- ist discovered that there lurl.ai 2g1,- O09rO5o of these critters" in every square yard. 4 grammv of dust labOut three-teuths of an ounce ayOirdupoisl taken from these latter rooms con- tainc1. SO the doctor asserts at least, GG,099, 900 microbes.
 IL is reassuring to know that most of these microbes are harmless, but. after comforting the reader with the state ment, the Russian savant again alarms him by saying that in this hospital dust many microbes of tuberculosis and ryrCr7ruDnfa r,-r7,s rr,p1rrr, frrnT nul tEfat there is every reason to believe that such and other contagious diseases may therefore be transmitted through the medium of the impalpable dust which floats in the atmosphere,

SOME GOOD IN HIM.

How Che Prisoner Succeeded tu impress
 ing Ills Captors by a speech.
 The Texas court had convened at the foot of telegraph pole and the horse thief was watching the proceedings. says the New York Sun. Presently the judge turned Co him.
 ''Scein', he said, "as how thc boys come off in a hurry and forgot the rope and its goin' Co take some time fey thc man to git back that's gone after it, praps you like to make a few remarks to entertain the crowd and git yer mind ofIen the main 0tiaels uv yer bein' present on this occasion"
 'I aint much of a speaker, replied the prisoner, but I'm williu' to please, and as used Co be an e,horter before got the Texas habit reckon I might make Q try at it.
 Well go ahead; you've got Q few minutes and the choice of subjeclzs. Considcrin' yer doia it to please us, we won't be too pcrticllelar.
 Cant you make it Q few years, smiled the prisoner
 Wed like Co, but the objecl, of the meCtin' wouldu sit q fair shake. Be sides, we've been to a good deal of trouble to git you here and we ain't got time to waste that away Ton jist go ahead and make the speech and make her lively, fer the boys may git to shootin' before the rope gifts here"
 Thus imPortunod, the prisoner took his place on a pile of railroad ties and launched forth in an impassioued ad- dress, patriotic, religious, personal and highfalutin, the poor fellow evidently feeling, as had been suggested by the leader, that in this way he might for get the object of the meeting.
 He kept it up for fifteen minutes or more and then the leader held up his hand for him to stop and he looked around ueryously, expecting Co see the man returning with the rope: and that's what he did see, but the leader stepped out and beckoned the man to one side,
 That's all right" he said rcassur. ingly to the prisoner; then he turned 10 the crowd Boys" he said. ''vou have hcgrd this man mallin' a speech here for the last fifteen CT twenty min utes, and in all that time he ain't said a dcrn word about free silver ncr tho Wilson tariff bill, and move you now that we give him fifteen minutes to git out. Thar must be some good in him and we ought to give him a chance to let it spread All in favor of that mo- ton say aye;" and with o unanimous vote those wild and woolly Texans gave that horse thief another chance for his white alley.

HOMES OF RIVER PIRATES.
Caves in the Mountain Sides Are Watched
 with Awc by Longshorculen.


 with Awe by Longahorcmen.
 Along the west shore of the Hudson river, between West Point and Esopus, according to the New York World, there are several sidehill openings that are supposed to lead into big rcccsscs not yet explored. Daring men have made the attempt to discover the intc- rior, but have been frightened into a re- treat by all sorts of imaginings,
 At Marlborough, Highland and in the famous Storm King mountain, at Corn wall, these rocky openings are watched by longshorcmcn, who have reason to believe that valuable property is con taincd therein.
 A Cornwall fisherman says he be- lieves that one of these caves, near the foot of storm King, is the rendezvous of gang of New York thieves, who re- ceivc and dispose of their ill-gotten stock on a strict mercantile basis, He remembers that about the Ist of April he and his father saw q small boat, in which were four men, putashorc at this point. It was an inlsy black night, and it was not safe for small craft in the wind tossed water of Cornwall bay.
 The fisherman watched the landing and saw the company, who were dis tiuRuishcd by the lanterns they carried, work their way up the mountain side. About twenty minutes after the landing the lights were lost sight oi at point about one hundred feet from the waters edge.
 The supposition is that these men entered one of those mercantile caves to make ready for the years business No one has vcntured near the place, although several hunters say that there is on opening at the spot designated by the Cornwall man. 1t is believed that this cavo i1 the main resort of river pUGtcs and robbers, who pluud3r in tho Hudson river valley, and if so thcu a considerable dungcr attending visi.at ion to the locality
 This site ia particularly lonely and deserted. It can be located by passen- gers on the day boats as they are pass ing. It is about three hundred feet west of the place where an attempt has been made to quarry stone for crushing, and to reach 1t one must run the risk of being bitten by the most poisonous snakes, -.--. .-----..

Thrones In Europe That Are Occupied b.
 Strangers to the Land.

Thrones In Europe That Are Occupied by
 Strangers to tho Land.
 Ferdinand of Bulgaria, who now rests under the shadow of a crime, is one of half dozen strange priucel0us occupying the smaller thrones of Eu- rope, The most considerable of these little monprchs, says the New York Sun, is George of Greece, who is the second son of the present king of Den mark. George was elected king of the Helleues by the national assembly, un- der instructions from Great Brituin, France and Russia, just after his predecessor, a small Bavarian prince, had been driven from the throne. King Georges father was the first of his own dynasty in Denmark, having been de- clared heir to childless king by the treaty of London in 1852
 Bulgaria's little neighbor, Roumania, has another of the little German princes, elected under outside influence in 1866 and proclaimed King Carol in 1881. He is a son of Prince Karl, of uoheuzollern-Sig Sigmaringcn.
 Several even of the German states have new-made sovcreigus, The king of Bavaria, though descended from the ancient electors of Bavaria, owes his title of king to the fact that it was conferred upon his ancestor by Ma poleon l, Prince Alhrecht, duke of Brunswick, cousin of the present em- peror of Germany, was elected Go his little throne in 1885, the duke of Cum borland having been excluded from the succession because be would not give up his claim to Hanover. Frederick prince of Waldecll, gave up an but the shadow of sovereignty to the emperor of Germany, and holds even the shadow at the will of the latter.
 Half a dozen other dvuasties were founded within the present century by election, which usually means that German prinCelsins were placed upon ancient thrones by agreement of the powers, The father of the present king of the Balgians was g prince of Saxc-Coburg-Gotha, and was placed on the throne m the early years of the century after Belgium had bccu the victim of Napoleon. The present king, by the way, is cousin oi Ferdinand of Bulgaria. the mothers of the two having been daughters Of King Louis Philippe of France.
 The dynasty Of Oscar II. of Sweden and Norway dates from ISIS, when BcrHadotge, Napoleon's marshal, as- grndod the throne, having been de- clared tho heir t1 the crown eight years before. Umberto of Italy is only Che second of his line though he comes of an ancient royal house. Spain has had a foreigner on her throne within twenty-five years, aud her present iit,lc king, being a posthulaouo son, came to thrust from the throne his yCuuE sister, proclaimed queen some months before his birth Tho Euro penn thrones are in large part oecnpied by strangers, and the only important one thas has not suffered from rcvolu- ton, threat of revolution, or asaassiua- tioa in the present century is the throne of Great Britain.
