b.ack-birders A Captain Bergman of
the American steamer Bonanza. recently
sent the news TO this city OF the peculiar
condition of affairs on Hermit Island. He
said chat his ship was blown out of its
course. and anchored one day close to one
of the islands. He was astonished to see
none but women on the coral reef. for it
Was hardly more than that The women
SWAN like mermaiGs TO the ship. They told
the conditions of affairs on the island and
wanted the captain to leave some of his

them all the honors of a darl5y loyalty if
they would take their residence among

Rinehart declares that it is not the re-
port of The husbandless women that has
moved him to project this enterprise. He
Says it is dissatisfaction with the condi-
tiou of the labor world and the desire 10

is for fifty men to put up $25 each. With

DISCREDITED.
Reports Direct From Cuba Do Not
Bear Out Stories of General Wey.
lerS Discontinue.

Key West, Fla, November 20.-Ad-
vices received here from Cuba to-day
by the steamship Whitney cast dis
credit upon the statement that the cam
paign of Captain General Weyler
against Antonio Maceo in the province
Of Pinar del Rio has failed and that
Weyler will shortly return to Havana.
II is stated on the contrary that Wey-
Ter has no intention of returning to the
capitol until he shall have exhausted
every effort to compel Maceo to meet
him in a pitched battle. When last
heard from, the Spanish commander
was massing his forces for an attack
upon the insurgents. The latter are
said TO number only 10000 men all told
and they are reported to be suffering
from a scarcity of provisions, etc.
Maceo is awaiting Teinforcements and
in this connection, news of the where
abouts and doings of Maxine Gomez
are awaited with much interest. Lit
tie or nothing has been heard recently
of Gomez. who is believed to to be at
the head of the main body of the in
surgent forces.

THE QUESTION SETTLED.

An Agreement Reached Concerning the
Methods of Teaching in Manitoba
schools
Ottowa. Ont. November 20.-The
Manitoba school question. which has
more than once during the past three
years threatened a disruption OF the
Canadian federation, has been settled
ON terms which, it is believed, will be
sufficiently satisfactory 70 both sides
10 put an end TO the controversy.
Following are the main features Of
the terms of the settlement, which has
been accepted by the Manitoba govern
ment. and will be embodied shortly in
an act of the legislature of that body,
viz:
Religious teaching is to be conducted
in the public school:
QO If authorized by a resolution
passed by a majority of s'hool trus-
tees. or,
% If petition be presented to the
board of school trustees asking for re-
Iigious teaching and signed by the par
ents of guardians of at least ten chill
dren attending the school in a rural
district. or by the parents or guardians
of al least twenty-five children attend
ing school in a city, town or village.
school work of a purely secular char
acter will occupy the whole of the
schol day except the last half hour,
when the representative of any relig-
ious denomination will be allowed to
come i'm and instruct the children be
longing to his denomination. provided
the parents are willing to have them
remain. In cases where the people de-
eide not to have this religious instruc-
tion. the regular school work will go on
until the close of the school hours.
The proviso that is intended TO make
the schools acceptable to the minority
is that districts having an average at
tendance Of twenty-five Roman Cath
olic school children shall be entitled TO
have a teacher of their own denomlna-
tion who must be fully qualified ac-
cording to provincial national school
standards. ,-
I'M districts where the children speak
French wholly they are to have a
teacher speaking both English and
French. so that they will learn Eng
lish as rapidly as possible. The read
ers used in such schools will be Dl-ln-
quail. so that the children will grow up
from the first accustomed to Engllsh.

Washington. D. c., November 20
Should the Kansas POpulists enact a

Elizabeth. n. j., November 20-Miss
Edith Behr. the 19-year-old girl Of
Lyons Farm, who was sentenced last
Saturday to three months in the coun-
ty Jail by Judge Mccormack for assault
and battery, has been released from
prison Her lawyer, former Assembly
man Leonard Kalish, of Newark, pre-
sented to the Court of Common Pleas
writ of error, issuing from the Su-
preme Court to Judge Mccormack, di-
recting linn to send the proceedings
in Miss Behr's case to the Supreme
Court for review. Pending this, size
was set at liberty and bail fixed at $500.
Three business men of this city became
her b1ndsMen.
Miss Behr was overjOyed to once
more breathe the air of freedom and
was warmly congratulated by her
friends. She had not eaten anything
while she was in Jail, spending most
of the time in weeping, and she looked
haggard when she was set free.
Mss Behr was convicted OF assault
ing TWO farmers, William and Henry
Bloy, each of whom is six feet tall and
built in proportion. Mr. Behrs cattle
had strayed into the grounds of the
BlOys. The latter tried TO hold them
for the poundmaster, and when an at
tempt was made by Behr and his
daughter to rescue them, battle royal
ensued, in which little Edith bested the
two giants.
When a reporter saw the two BlOy
brothers at their farm it seemed al
most incredible that the frail girl;
whose head does not reach their shOul-
ders should have whipped them. Will
liam and Henry rather shamefacedly
admitted their defeat. however, though
they both denied being quite siX-fOOt-
eTs.
The trouble began on the evening
of June 4, said William Bloy Eight
of Behr's COWS came into our grounds.
as hey had often done before, and we
determined to put stop to it. We
placed a ladder between the house
and the fence so that the cattle were
hemmed in. Behr came running over
and accused us of stealing his COWS.
He went for Henry. His girl had been
working in the field with him. and she
made for me- She attempted TO fling
two stones at me. and my wife became
frightened and called me OF Mrs
Bloy admitted this, and said that the
young girl had fought like demon.
Henry BlOy said that while he was
engaged with the father Edith jumped
on his back and began to pummel and
scratch him. He exhibited one Of the
scratches she had inflicted on his
cheek.
Mr.. Behr's version of the story was
somewhat different He and lis son
were injured in a trolly accident last
week. and were both in bed. The man
has not been able to appear in court
to receive his sentence on his convic-
ton. mo one dreamed of such a
thing" he said. we thought she
would be fined. Why, l am y years
old and could scarcely defend myself.
If it had not been for her | don't know
what would have become OF ne.
Dr. w. r. Ward. who lives at Lyons
Farms. said that he had been called in
to treat Mr. Behr after the fight He
was badly injured" said the Doctor.
His body was black and blue in places,
and his shoulder was almost disocated.
His daughter also seemed TO have been
hurt" ~,

Nowistown, Pa, November %
Charles o. Kaiser has been held to
answer for the murder of his wife, En-
ma r. Kaiser, who was shot and in
ST ntly killed on a lonely road near
b idgeport on the night of October 2S.
The verdict rendered by the cOro-
ner's jury this evening holds him re-
sponsible for her death and adds that
he was aided by unknown persons in
q scheme to defraud insurance COM
panies. Kaiser was committed to pris-
on and December Ith has been fixed for
his trial.
When the murder was committed the
couple We're driving home from Gulf
Mills, a village near Bridgeport. where
they had been delivering portraits
from their store in this city. The first
news of the crime was obtained by
Frank Mancill a Norristown hotel
keeper. who found Kaiser madly cir
cling about the road. shrieking Muir
der While in the carriage near by lay
the corpse of his wife, with a bullet
in the head. Kaisers story was that
the murder haA been committed by
highwaymen via robbie dthem of val
liable iewelry an money. Next day,
however. the goods We're found hidden
under stones along the road and sus-
piciCn was directed towards the hus-
band. Subsequent developments prov
ed that the woman's life recently had
been insured in a number of companies
for her husbands benefit, to an ag-
gregate sum of $4,000 and that the
couple had not lived happily together.
A mysterious man and woman known
to have been intimately associated with
Kaiser, are implicated. They had
meetings with him some days before
the murder and were seen in the vicin
ity of the spot where it occurred at
nearly the same time. Detectives are
searching for them, and the case bids
fair to be rich i'm startling revelations.
The team which Kaiser and his wife
drove has been identified as one stolen
from eX-Mayor Jackson, of Gloucester,
\. j. 1t was hired September 9Th by
the mysterious woman and never re-
turned.
Tho inquest was besun this morning
and the evidence adduced forms a
strong c;rcumstantial chain around
Kaiser. 1T is said that while denying
his own guilt, Kaiser has admitted to
detectives that he knows the murderer,
but Will not reveal his identity.
