NAY HAVE BEEN REVENGE. Aus n
B. Strong was arrested yesterday at
Ravenna, Portage county, O., charge d
with The murder Of Alvin \. Sioue and
wife at Talmadge on Saturday night.
The evidence on which the charge Is
ossed is largely circumstantlai. Ihir
ten years ago Strong was sent 10 the
penitentiary for hoise stealing. his con-
IL cJion being secured by the testimony
C Stone. Several years later, alter his
release from prison, he was arrested
a rain for the same crime and again
Convicted on the testimony of Stone.
He gained his liberty the second time
about three weeks ago. When taken
TO custody Strong said ne was at the
home of his sister, in Rsvenna, all OF
Saturday night, and that he bad gone
to church Sunday morning. A search
ofthe sisters house, however, resulted
IN the discovery Of suit of clothes and
an overcoat, which had been placed by
y stove to dry There were no blood
stains on the othing, but Strong's
sister said she had washedihe garments
ia an clubhouse early yesterday morn
Jog. La one of Strong's pockets was
found railroad ticket from Ravenna
t. Kent, the latter place being within
two miles of the scene of Saturday
nights tragedy. The ticket was pur-
chased last Saturday.
strong was taken to Akron yesterday
venipg and placed in jail. The news
of the arrest soon spread ana dig
crowd assembled. There was no dis
order, but Mayor Harper decided to
prevent an outbreak by ordering Bat
tery B, of the Light Artillery, to assem-.
be at tie armory and await develop
ments.

SAID TO BE A CONSUMPTION CURE
DR.. Karl Van Ruck has communicated
10 the New Orleans Parish Medical So
ciety what he describes as cure for
consumption. He has been making a
study of tuberculosis and Professor
Koch's lymph for several years. About
a year ago he conceived the idea OF a
lymph which should embody all of the
curative properties of the Koch discov-
cry without the terrible reactionary eff
feet which proved so fatal in the Amer
lean experiments-.a lymph without
the toxine elements. His experiments
have been conducted at Ashevil:e, n.
c., and the results have been startling
IL successful. The record for the year
shows 125 complete cures.

The. ..wacf,t Am Rhein."

OF the martial songs moro particular
" connected with The various periods OF
storm and stress in Germany, one of
the most celebrated is that Of the Rhine,
composed by Becker, and answered by
Alfred de Musset i'll other well known
verses. Tho "Wacht am Rhein, by
Max Sehneekenburgor was composed
about the same period as the Rhine
song, but attained It's widest popularity
during tho war Of 1870. Unlike Beck
er's song, it cannot boast Of having been
set to music by 20 composers.
The patriotic song of Deutschland,
Deutschland uber Allies was the work Of
the popular writer, poet, philologist and
historian August Hoffman,, who was
born at Fallersleben in the year 1898.
For a time we find him acting as librari-
an and later as professor at the Uniyer-
sity Of Breslau, but the liberal tendency
of some Of his writings caused him, n
1888, to be deprived of his PROFESSIONAL
chair. For many years he was librarian
to the Duke of Ratibor, and died in
this sheltered post in 1874 The German
national anthem, Hell Dir i'm Sieger-
kIanz, +" was written originally for the
birthday of Christian VII, king OF Den
mark, by a Holstein clergyman, Tho
words were written 10 the air Of Good
Save the King" i'll 1890, and a few
years later were modified for Prussian
use -Ghambers' Journal

The Beers.

The Beers are a race of hunters, as
we'll as pastoralists, and the Transvaal
Beers especially have been engaged in a
war Of determination (lamontable to the
lover of animal life) against every spo-
eies of wild beast. Numbers of them
have been occupied ever since boyhood
in the hunting of elephants, buffaloes,
lions, rhinoceroses and other heavy
game. They have practically exterminat-
cd the elephant south Of tho Zambezi,
and tho buffalo is becoming very scarce
No man who understands South African
hunting can pretend to say that the
chase of these animals is not danger
Gus one, requiring tho highest qualities
of nerve and courage / will not say
that the average Boer hunter will, by
way of recreation, face the lion single
handed III the way that the great Eng
lish hunteH-Selous, Oswell, Vardon,
Gordon Cumming, Baldwin and others
have accustomed us to. Few hunters,
indeed, arc so quixotic. Tho Boer tres s
tho lion as dangerous vermin, if posi-
Bile obtains help from his fellows. and
as a matter Of business Stays him by a
volley. But hundreds of Beers ha
slain lions single handed, and hundre
have been mauled aud oven killed by
lions London Globe.
