HIS MAJESTY KING HEELEk.
Career Of an Abyssinian Ruler Recently Kill
ed by lightning.
Claimed Descent from King Solomon On
His Fathers side-His Efforts to In
trOauce Ways of Civilization
Among bis People.

King Menelek u, of Abyssinia, was
a picturesque parsonage during his
lifetime, and his recent tragic
death by lightning (the report
Of which is now confirmed by
italian advices) adds to the rather
bizarre interest attached to this Afri-
can king, says the Outlook. 1t is said
that his mother WIS q beggar-woman,
though On the other side he claimed
descent from King Solomon. As boy
he was picked out by his father as heir
Of the kingdom of Shea, south of
Abyssinia, from numerous male
progeny, the sons Of many mothers, not
because of his age, but because Of his
likeness to his father. He succeeded
King John of Abyssinia in 1889, in u
like haphazard way, pushing Johns
nephew and intended heir aside by sheer
superior skill and strength. King
Menelek was of keen intelligence AMI
had distinct aspirations towards ciYili-
cation, despite occasional relapses into
gross cruelty and barbaric practices.
He had quite little aptness in me-
ehanics, and was able to put in order,
or even put together, either modern
Arearm OF a watch. Indeed, he estab-
lished a gun-factory which greatly
helped him to maintain an attitude of
military independence. As an instance
of his efforts to introduce practical arts
it is said that he put on working-clothes
and toiled in person beside some Swiss
engineers whom he had brought into
the country to show his people how to
build houses. His subjects had re-
fused to help the engineers, but at last,
shamed by the royal example, they put
their shoulders to the work. Two of
the greatest mistakes of Menelek's
career were his expulsion Of all mis-
sionaries from his dominions and the
signing of the treaty with Italy in 1889
which almost made of his kingdom an
italian province. It is quite certain
that he did not appreciate at It's full
value the document he was signing, and
his revolt from Italian supervision
quickly led him into the present war,
In which in the long run the Abyssin-
ians must yield to superior force,

The London & Northwestern Railway
company performed the unprecedented
feat last week of running a train nearly
900 miles without q stop. The train
prepared for this remarkable journey
consisted Of seven ~ feet vehicles,
weighing about 112 tons, and was drawn
by the ionic, one Of the smallest COM
pounds built on Webbe's system. The
train left London at Si45 in the morn
ing, and, travelling at an average speed
of rather over so miles an hour, reached
Carlisle at 2;3s, or seven minutes before
the schedule time. There was no stop
page On the whole journey Of 299K
miles, and on arrival at Carlisle every
thing about the engine was so cool that
a person could place his hand on any OF
the bearings. There was still a store
of coal on the tender. The previous
long distance record was 1853 miles, be-
tween London and Crewe. The only
passengers we're officials, who expressed
themselves we'll satisfied with the sue
cess Of the experiment.

Horrible Fate of Two Cowboys in Texas

Advices were received at Fort Worth,
Tex, the other day of the horrible fate
that befell two cowboys, Warner Reid
and Bob Christian, working on the J,

away up in the Texas panhandle, The
men, with others, were rounding up cat
tie, when a vivid flash of lightning en-
yeloped them and their herd Of cattle,
throwing the latter right and left and
knocking down the horses ridden by
the cowboys. \ great hole was burned
in Reid's head, and his spine was bis
tered all the way down. Christian was
killed by the shock without any especial
external manifestations. Reid's legs
were also badly burned. His horses
leg was scOrched, the saddle torn to
fragments and a deep hole made in the
ground where the bolt entered. Many
of the cattle were killed.

A queer case is reported from Sydney,
Australia. A man was convicted by O
jury Of having tried to poison his wife
with arsenic. His lawyers obtained a
reconsideration of the sentence by a
commission appointed by the legisla-
ture, consisting of two doctors and a
lawyer, which pronounced him inno-
cent, the doctors voting down the law
yer, who thought him guilty. The man
was set free in consequence. Suisse
quently, one of his lawyers, moved by
conscience, told another member Of the
bar that the man had confessed hisguilt
to him at the time of the trial, and the
matter was brought before the legis-
lature. Lawyers and client have been
arrested, and are to be prosecuted for
conspiracy to defeat the ends Of JUS

Experience OF COnstabIe's Wife with
Pair Of Handouts.
Mrs, Hickman, wife of Constable
Richard Hickman, of Whitestone, I. L,
went about in the house all day the
other day unable to do her household
work OF get meals for her family, and
retired ut night without making the
customary preparations because she
was handouffed and thus rendered help
less.
Constable Hickman purchased new
and improved pair of handouts q few
days ago. When he left home the other
morning to go to the city on business
ne left the handouts on the bureau in
his room.
Mrs. Hickman espied the glimmering
instruments shortly after he had gone,
and picked them mp to examine them.
She slipped one Of them over one of her
wrists, and soon encircled her other
wrist with the other cuff. The cuffs
are frightened with a ratchet arrange
meHt, and Mrs. Hickman, being desir-
Gus to learn how the things worked,
frightened them. She afterward en-
dea5ored to take them off, but could not.
They were locked.
She called a child in from the street
and sent for a neighbor who she
thought would know how to open the
handouts, He told her they could not
be openedwithoutthe key and she would
be obliged to wait until her husband re-
turned home.
When Mr.. Hickman returned from
the city on a late train he found his wife
sleeping with her hands chained to
gether, and, after an explanation, took
the key out Of his pocket and released
her.
He said; "How lucky twas that did

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS
FOlr Opinions Received at the Local
Office for Filing
Al cobler's Appeal Denied, and He VIII Have
to Remain In States Prison-Inter-
esting Tax Cc3e

Four opinions were received at the
Office of the supreme court in this city
yesterday for filing.
In the case OF the people, respondent,
VS.. AL Cobler, appellant, the opinion of
the court is that the record shows no
prejudical error. and the judgment and
order appealed from are affirmed. The
opinion is written by Commissioner
BelcEer, concurred in by Commissioners
Vanclief and Searls, and affirmed by
Justices Mcfarland. Temple and Hem
shaw. The defendant, Cobler, was con-
victed of embezzlement and sentenced to
imprisonment in the state prison for five
years. from which judgment and order
denying his motion for new trial he
appealed. Cobler was deputy under
County Assessor f. Edward Gray and as
such deputy EN- bezzled and converted to
his own use various sums of money col
lected as personal property taxes. The
specific charge under which he was con-
victed was that he collected Sl2 from
Blum e. Lubin, which money he failed to
turn over to the county. The appeal was
taken on divers alleged errors in the
ruling of the trial court of technical
character.
In the case of the Pacific Mutual Life
Insurance company, respondent, VS..
County Of San Diego, respondent, the
Judgment of the lower court is reversed
and the court below directed to sustain
the demurrer to the complaint The
opinion is by Commissioner Britt, con-
CURED in by Commissioners Vancief and
