forehead and sent a bullet crashing into
his brain. The ball went completely
through his head and he fell to the
floor, dying almost instantly.
No one knew who the boy was. A
search of his pockets resulted in the
discovery Of a card, on which was writ
len request that in case of accident
Mrs. J. NJ. O'Neill Of Knox place. Oak

he went away. She had questioned him
about his home, but he had refused to

the conclusion that he had run away.

to Take Passenger.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Captoin Nc
lrtosh of the steamship Vigilancia,
which arrived to-day, reluctantly told
the story Of General Weyler's attempt
to take a passenger from his vessel and
his failure to do so. He said no threat
that he knew of was made. to fire upon
his craft unless he gave the man up.
The passenger, he said, was Antonio
Escalante, who boarded the Vigilancia
at this city, and was bound for Vera
Cruz. He claimed to be an American
citizen. When at Havana the Chief
OF Police came aboard and said that
Captain General Weyler had a letter
from New York that Escalante was
Spaniard, and was on his way to Mex
lco to escape military duty, and on the
strength of that communication Gen
eral Weyler demanded the surrender of
the man. Captain Mcintosh told the
Chief of Police that unless the Consul
General consented to the mans sur
render he would not give him up with
out q fight. His vessel was then lying
in Havana Harbor. He was advised
that General Lee had refused to sur
render the man, and he was not mo-

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-John o. Blake,
manager of Gormully & Jeffries' bicycle
store, 80 Madison street, and widely
known in business circles, was shot
this evening at his home, 3S3 Superior
street, under circumstances suggestive
OF attempted suicide. The bullet en-
tered the chest near the region of the
heart. Mr.. Blake fingered throughout
the night in a semi-conscious state, but
1t is the opinion Of the attending ply
sicians that he cannot live
No one can explain how or why Mr..
Blake shot himself, and he did not re-
cover consciousness after the shooting
long enough to explain. His friends
will not admit that he endeavored to
take his life, claiming that he had no
reason to feel discohtented, and that he
was man of cheerful disposition.
They say that the shooting was doubt
less an accident, and that the revolver
vas discharged as Mr. Blake was re-
moving his overcoat.

The Legend of the Turkish Banner

One of the treasures of the Muslin
world is the green banner of the Caliph,
which has a curious and romantic his
tory. At place called Josef, in the
month of May, 632 A. D., more than
1,20O years ago, Mohammed, the Ara
bian prophet, lay sick, and said to
Osama, youthful son of one of his late
lieutenants, Lead thou the army unto
the place where thy father was killed
and destroy it utterly. Lo! make thee
commander of the army" Recovering
on the Thursday following, Mohammed
attended to his devotions, then with his
own hands bound upon a Flagstaff "A
Banner for the Army" and conse-
Grated it to the cause of Allah before all
his people, saying, Flight We beneath
this banner, in the name of the Lord.
and for his cause. Thus shall ye discom-
fort and slay the people that disbe-
lieveth in the Lord"
All Muslims-a term given to the fol-
lowers OF the prophet, and used in the
same way as the word Christian-frre-
spective of sect, are aware that the safe
keeping Of the green banner of Islam,
consecrated by the prophet himself for
the people of the prophet in all LANDS
and throughout all time, has passed
from Caliph to Caliph. The name OF
Caliph denotes title Of honor to De
borne by the successors of the Sheik ui
Islam, that is, the Head of Musllms.
The title Caliph is borne by him whom
the Mohammedan world, irrespective or
race, recognizes as king of kings; his
subjects may reside in British India, on
French soil in Africa, or be spread
over the vastness of Asfa-while the
