Superintendent J. b. letter. who is in
charge OF the schools, heard the flames pop

the boys and barely saved his own life. The
boys threw their beds ont of the windows

DEATH OF DU MAURIER.
The Author of Trilby succumbs to Heart
Disease.

George Du Maurier, the artist-novelist,
author of "Trilby," died in London at 2:30
o'clock Thursday morning.
George Louis Pamela Busson Du Maur-
Ter was born March 6, 1884, and although a
British subject was educated at Paris. His
grandparents on his fathers side fed from
France during the Reign of Terror. George
Du Maurier came to England mt the age Of
II and studied chemistry under DR.. William
sou at University College, London. After
ward he studied painting in Paris under the
famous NJ. Gleyre, and in Antwerp and
Dusseldorf. He first began to draw in wood
in England for Once Week, afterward for
Punch and The Cornhill Magazine, and sub
sequently joined the stan of Punch. After that
time his drawings gave him fame as an ar
tst and he became the co-laborer Of Thack-
cry, illustrating his "Bnllads" and many
other books, including "Esmond' and "The
Story q Feather" Through this class of
work he became an associate OF the Royal
Society of Painters in Water Colors.
1t was reserved for him, however, to make
his greatest success in literature. and this
was achieved through the authorship of
"Trilby," which made his name as well
known in this country rs in England. His
latest work is "The Martians," n story of
Partisan life. with some of The features Of
"Trilby," which only began in the October
Harpers Magazine.

AGREEMENT UPON TURKEY.
The Great Powers Reported to Have Come
to a Conclusion.

1t is confidently stated in Berlin that Rou-
mania and Greece have joined the alliance of
Germany, Austria and Italy, which thus
gains two valuable aids in the event Of war
upon Turkey. There is, however, growing
disposition here to regard the solution of
the Turkish question as being on the eve OF
completion by an amicable agreement among
the great powers, and 1t is taken for granted
that all likelihood of the partition of Turkey
in the near future has vanished. The semi
official press make much of the supposed
influence with Baron Won Jeltsch. the Ger
man ambassador to Turkey, exercises over
the Sultan, which the papers ascribe to the
Turkish monarch's conviction that the rep
resentative OF Germany at Constantinople
is not actuated by selfish aims. The papers
also connect with this presumed feeling on
the part OF the Sultan the reported depar-
ture from Constantinople for Berlin OF Gen.
Crumkofl, German officer in the ottoman
service, as the bearer of an autograph letter
from the Sultan to the Kaiser. 1t is stated
that the communication expresses tho Sui
tan's gratitude at the attitude assumed by
Germany In the Turkish crisis and ascribes
the troubles in Turkey to revolutionary agi-
tators. The Sultan also, according to re-
port, assures the Kaiser that the Christians
in Turkey will be absolutely safeguarded
unless they indulge in anarchistic excesses

WEST vIRGINIANs INsIsTENT.
Want the Monongahela River Improve
ments Pushed.

A delegation OF distinguished West Virgin
lans called on Secretary of War Lamont and
General Craighill, chief of engineers, to urge
that the contract for constructing six locks
and dams on the upper Monongahela river
in West Virginia be let at once. The delega-
tion was composed of Senators Faulkner
and Elkins, Ex-Governor Fleming, ex-Com-
missioner OF Internal Revenue Mason. Prof.
White Of Morgantown, state geologist of
West Virginia, and Mr.. Stone, of Monon-
gahela.
Secretary Lamont explained that under
the general law regulating river and harbor
work the contract could not be let and work
on the improvement begun until the govern
ment had acquired title to the necessary sites
for the locks and dams. Surveys were now
being made to determine the exact locations
for the six locks and dams. When these were
completed the necessary land would be ac-
quired for sites. Then the contract for
making the improvement would be let
The river and harbor hill passed at the last

shudder through the entire car. 1t
was, as a matter of course. the fate
of the irritable man to select this par

"Shut up, will your exclaimed the
nervous man. "What do you mean
by keeping up that internal racket"

"Of course 1t bothers me. Every

"You mean this left ear that's next

"Yes, l mean my left ear"
'Don't you worry, mister. I'm sorry

SIXTY YEARS BLIND.
Sensations of Man Who After That
Period Was Restored 60 Sight.

Sensations of a Man Who After That
Period Was Restored 60 Sight.
In the little Canadian town Of Penn
brook, not far from Kingston, there
lives a man, who. after sixty years Of
blindness, has had his sight restored.
He was born with cataract over each
eye and in those far Off days such was
lncurable.
Two years passed-sixty years pass
ed, and still he sat and walked In the
darkness. Then the news penetrated
to Pembrook that there were cases of
blindness that could be cured. Some
OF his friends persuaded him to see a
doctor He let the doctor examine him,
but had no hope, even when they told
him that only very simple operation
was necessary, that he would soon be
able TO see.
Even when they examined him he
was not especially Interested He did
not know what 1t meant to see. But
they got the best available surgical
skill and after n few weeks the light
was gradually admitted.
After day or so spent in the semi
darkness Of n darkened room, where
he first made out the faces of those
who had been about him teaching him
In the darkness for so many years, they
let him go out into the twilight of a
beautiful June evening
The old man looked about him and
those who saw him say there never
was anything like the expression OF
his face. He looked and looked again,
and then burst into tears. He was soon
gazing again. He saw that the light
was slowly fading; that the darkness
was coming on. He had never seen a
sunset.
He put his hands over his eyes and
cried out: "My God! am going back
into the darkness again. My eyes are
going outw All they said failed to re-
assure him. But presently the moon
rose and he was filed with n new won
der and was convinced.
He refused to 20 to bed that night.
He sat there until morning. He saw
the sun rise and the tears rolled down
his cheeks. 1t win be many weeks be-
fore he RECEIVERS from the keen delight.

This mans old age will be like the
childhood and youth Of other men. 1t
will be especially hard for him to die.
At GO he is just beginning life, and long
before he has had time to learn life's
main lessons he will be gone.

iards Near Artemisa.
Letters from Havana state that Antonio
Maceo, In recent attack on the trocha, in
flicted terrible losses on the Spaniards, more
than 1000 being killed aud wounded. The
fight was flercest near Artemisa, where Anto-

The Spaniards were aroused from sleep to
find hail of insurgent bullets falling upon
them, and became paDic-stricken. The in
surgents had several dynamite guns, and
they were used with terrible effect, the shells
bursting among the Spaniards and striking
them down by the scores. Many Spanish Of

six pieces OF artillery and many thousands

arms.

The st. James Gazette Still Worries About

The st. James Gazette devotes leading
article to the discussion OF the Venezuela

The paper recites the Venezuela aifronts and

''lf such insults and outrages had been ad-
dressed to the meanest sister republic in
South America there would have been war
