THINK He is SHkMM|NG,
Texas Officials Puzzled by the
Condition of a MUIR
derer.
On Sentence Day He Remains
Limp, and Therefore Gains
More Time.

PARIS, TEX, June 21.-At the present
term of the Federal court Charles Key was
tried and convicted of murder, and his
punishment assessed at death. He swore
that he would cheat the gallows. Owing to
the crowded condition of the prison he was
conveyed to Bonham with several other
prisoners for safekeeping. On Monday
afternoon he was notified by the jail
warden to prepare to make the return trip
to this city so as to receive the death SEN
tence, motion for a new hearing having
been oyerruled
He retired to the far end of his cell
and without saying word started UP
on a run toward the cell door, against
which he fell head foremost with
all his might, falling to the floor.
Although he was thought to be in a
dying condition, he was brought here and
has never recovered consciousness. r is
thought that he is "possuming," in vain
hope that the court will adjourn without
passing sentence upon him.
An electric battery was applied and had
no effect. Starvation was resorted to with
like result, and this being sentence day
he was brought into the courtroom and
deposited on the floor, and expert
medical testimony was called in, and it,
too, differed on an opinion as to whether
the prisoner was ''shamming." Judge
Bryant thinks the prisoner is shamming,
but would not pass sentence, not caring to
have the United States Supreme Court
possibly reserve or remand the case.

It GIVES ALL THE NEWS.
Comparison of The United
Press Service With Its
Chief Rival.
One Instance of Superiority In the
Day Report of the Oelebra-
ton at Kiel.

CINCINNATI, OHIO, June 21.-The Gin
cinnati Freie Press, of which Mr.. Mex
Burgheim is publisher and which is con-
sidered the leading German Republican
daily Of the State, prints an editorial
nearly a column in length comparing the
United Press news service with that of the
Chicago Associated Press. Among other
things it says:
In order that our readers may convince
themselves how high the United Press
stands above its rival comparison of
Tuesdays cablegrams and other
items of news in the Free Presse
"a member of the United Press
and one of the oldest as well) with those
of the papers which gets its news from the
Chicago Associated Press brings to light
the fact that the foreign dispatches of the
latter do not cover a column, while those
of the Freie Press sum the length of two
and half columns.
Not word was to be found in any
other German paper concerning the fes-
tivities at Hamburg in honor of the open
ing of the North Sea-Baltic canal-a hap
pening on which all the eyes of the world
are centered. The account which we
printed covered a column and was certainly
perused with unusual attention and interest
by our readers; also another whole column
of important cable and other news, which
would have been sought for in vain by any
paper supplied by the Chicago Associated
Press.
Rarely day passes when The United
Press does not eclipse the Chicago AS
sociated Press in reporting current events.
1t is therefore clear that all those who
seek the latest news, and who wish to be
up to date on current events, must read
paper that prints the news of The United
Press.

NO WOMEN ARE RESCUED.
Denial of the Story of the Find
ing of More COlima
Survivors.
Mexican Authorities Search the
Locality Of the Reported Dis
COvery in Vain,

MAZATLAN, Mex, June 21.-The lat
est report from Manzanillo denies the find
ing of any more survivors of the Colima to
the south of that port.
The telegram states that no women nor
children survivors were found yet. The
rescue party sent out has not returned yet,
but it is highly improbable that the report
is true.
The authorities have sent out parties to
search localities where rumor said the sur
vivors have heen seen, but no more have
been found and all rumors thus far have
proved misrepresentation. 1t is highly
probable that no more of the Colima's pas
sengers or crew will ever be heard from.

According to Milch's confession the gang
had in their employ attaches in the Dis
trict Attorneys office, who kept the con-
splrators informed of every move made by
the District Attorney.
The arrests to-day are but the first of a
series that will occur as the result of the
confession.
1t is confessed that the result of the
operations of these conspirators was that
seventy-five fires have been deliberately
set within the last two years and the in
surance companies have thereby been
swindled out of nearly 81 900, 600. On one fire
1894, 600 was received in insurance and
another $4,000 was paid. The insurance
money was divided between the fire insur-
ance company, adiusters, the Fire Mar
shaI's men and the insured. The man
who set the fire got fixed sum, s25, $50 or
$500, according to the magnitude of the

WILL NOT MEET IN DENVER.
There Is Yet Discord Among the Trans
continental M0mn1ers.

CHICAGO, ILL, June 21.-The Western
passenger committee, which was ap-
pointed at the general meeting here,
decided to-day that it would be
mpracticable to meet in Denver with the
trans-Missouri passenger officials to talk
about an agreement for one or both sides
of the big river. Chairman Cald-
well, one of the committee, as a
result of the abandonment of the
Denver meeting, notified the general
agents who took part in the meeting last
week, that the meeting called for next
Tuesday was postponed. It will probably
be held the first half of July, the date fixed
by Mr.. Caldwell.
There will be meeting of the trans
Missouri lines at Denver the first week in
July to reach an understanding as
to the terms of an agreement within
their territory. 1t is also expected
that after July 1 the rate disturb
ance in Utah and Montana created
by the Union Pacific Oregon Short Line
receivership fight will have been cleared
away by non-fulfillment of the rent
paying conditions imposed upon second
mortgage bondEolders of the Oregon Short
Line, which would mean a retention of
control by the Union Pacific receivers.

This Is One Specimen.

ASHEVILLE, S. c., June 21.-A sensa-
tional story was recently sent out from San
Francisco by the Chicago Associated Press
stating that Colonel A. R. Cochron of
San Diego, Cal, was to come into
possession of an immense fortune through
a North Carolina land grant. The
facts are simply that Colonel Cochron in
stituted suit at Asheville in 1893 for
lands in Mantanga and Mitchell counties
based on some supposed land grants
At the November QS90 term of the
court General T. F. Davidson, counsel for
Cochron, stated his client had been un-
able to file the bond required to prosecute
thecase and it was accordingly dismissed.

WEIRD INDIAN FUNERAL.
A Young Chief Buried From
Church in the Presence
of His Tribe.
All We're Adorned With Paint and
Arrayed in Full Savage
Raiment.

CINCINNATI, ONO, June 21.-The
funeral of Hidden Bird, the young Cree
lawyer, who died at the Zoo on Thurs
day, that took place to-day in this city was
not only the most weird and impressive
that was ever known here. but is the only
one on record in which an uncivil-
ized Indian was b. cd with all the
trappings of his tribe that was in attend
ance in modern Catholic church. The
chief of the tribe-the only Crees on earth
attended the services, horribly
painted and clothed in savage raiment.
The funeral was in st. Loomis, the larg-
est Catholic church in Ohio. The Crees
are charitably kept at the ZOO" as they
are homeless, having been abandoned by
show.
The procession of Indians started from
the ZOO" At the head of the line in a
Zoo" wagonette, was the big chief, Little
Bear, while beside him were Brush Tail.
Buffalo Face and an Interpreter.
Following were White Snake and Maggie,
brother and sister of the dead. Next
was the medicine man and fifty
braves and squaws on ponies, painted in
the most startling manner. They wore
beads and carried feathers, and all wore
moccasins. AT the rear of the procession
was rough cart containg the squaw and
children of Little Bear, all painted and
wearing blankets loosely wrapped about
them.
The crowd was enormous, and it became
necessary to call police aid. At the church
all dismounted and followed the chief into
the sacred edifice.
Professor A. J. Box presided at the or
gan. Fathers Peters and Kuppens, also
wearing moccasins, aided by two chancel
boys, conducted the ceremonies.
Many women and children were fright
ened as the Indians filed in. Napoleon,
the interpreter was called upon by the
priest and addressed the tribe in its own
language. The church was dark and awe
inspiring in the low lights, but the painted
faces looked straight ahead. A black
coffin contained the body of the painted
corpse. and it was clothed in garments of
barbaric colors.
When the corpse was exposed for the
last time each Indian stopped and as he
passed kissed the face three times.
The procession to the grave was viewed
by thousands. At the grave Indian rites
prevailed, and the cemetery was crowded
to the gates. Not a word, not sound,
came from all the painted crowd. At the
end they went back to their desolate camp
stolid, silent and without signs of grief

Southern Beauties.

The New York Tribune says "Por-
traits of twelve beautiful Southern
maidens-some of them become wives
since their portrayal-are to adorn
the art gallery of the Atlanta Exhibi-
ton. They were painted by a South
ern lady to represent the highest types
of loveliness which the South could
furnish, but they are too few in num-
Der to make any adequate showing of
the abounding pulchritude of the wo-
men of that region There Is only
one portrait for each calendar month
If there were one for every day in the
year the array would be equally IN
adequate. Beauty blooms and bur
geons there like roses in the gardens
of Shiraz or lilies by the borders Of
the Bendemeer. 1t seems invidious to
select a handful of the bellies of that
sunny, romantic land to stand as the
type of all of them. To the chosen
ones it is pleasant enough, no doubt,
but the unchosen of equal claims to be
so distinguished have reason to ques-
ton the principle Of selection which
the artist has adopted. 1t seems to
have been quite arbitrary and not in
any case to have been submitted for
confirmation to a plebiscitum or for
Judgment to any acknowledged tlibu-
nal. They are all handsome enough
without question, and if the artist has
done them Justice their similitudes
will make one of the most interesting
features of the show But whether
the assembled beauty Of the South
would have chosen them as its repre-
sentatives, if the selection had lain
with them, is a question which will
probably never be formally deter
mined. "

The chiId's Mind.

Child instruction should in the first
instance proceed upon the principle
that the young mind is an incalculsble
possibility, and that schooling should
be of character to carry that posi-
bility just as far as may be toward
its realization, writes the Rev. Charles
H. Parkhurst, D. D., in the Ladies
Home Journal. The child's mind Is
as thickly studded with interrogation
points as the sky is with stars. The
primary genius ofa child is the genius
for asking questions. There is nat
ural affinity between the mind and
the truth. Inquisitiveness is as nat
ural to intelligence as hunger is to the
stomach. One of the most common
effects of current schooling is to de-
stroy that affinity. Intellectual stuff
fng in the nursery or in the school
room is worse and more wicked than
gluttony in the dinning-roOm. Chill
dren who commence going to school
when they are six and continue at It
till they are sixteen hate knowledge
a good deal worse than they do sin,
and if they had the courage of their
impulses would assassinate their IN
structors and practice nihilism on their
school-rooms and text books. The dis
tinct symptoms of nihilism are dis
cernible in every school-rOOm that has
been used for educational purposes
more than six months. This intellec-
tual demoralization of the school-roOm
will pursue its present course uII
teachers are selected who have enough
of the genius of Froebel to understand
that the mental constitution Of the
child is itself prescriptive of the course
followed in its development, and that
the proper Office of the school COM
missioners and school committees Is
to help the teacher to carry out the
intentions of nature rather than to
compel him to embarrass and contro-
vert those intentions.

The steamer City Of Topeka, from

ally stumbled and fell into bears

little animals set up howl, which
soon brought the mother 10 their res

him with all her fury. The man was
unarmed, having nothing but pock-
et-knife to defend himself with, and
before he could bring his weapon iato

disabled him.
Two Indian boys who were with

A New stinulant.

Recent experiments in our army
with the kola nut confirm the state
ments of many travellers and scientists
who have studied the kola question
in Africa and the West Indies, where
this wonderful nut is generally used.
TITS claimed that kola is more stimu-
lating than coffee and has no bad af-
ter effects. The natives of Africa and
the West Indies who chew it are in
great demand as laborers, because they
are always in splendid health, suffer
no fatigue, and work long hours with
out any food. In those countries tho
cocoa chewer is always rejected for the
kola chewer.
Kola contains more caffeine than
coffee itself, a good deal of starch and
no tannin. 1t instantly increases mus
cular strength and ailays hunger and
thirst, besides lessening perspiration
in hot weather. The nut is now cul-
tivated in large quantities in various
parts of the world, and an American
firm expects shortly to put it on the
market in this country. When it
makes its appearance it is predicted
that tea and coffee will have to 60.
The recent army experiments in this
country were made by Captain Charles
+. Woodruff, at Fort Sheridan, Ill.
