Butler, the Australian Murderer
Tries to Kill Himself

SAN FRANCISCO, April Crank Butt er,
the Australian murderer who has been ex-
tradted and is to be sent back to Australia
to be tried for his crimes tried to kill him
self. His guards have watched him closely
and given him no weapons. He let his
thumb nail grow to an abnormal length and
tore his wrist open with it. Owing to a
lack of a knowledge of anatomy he
did not connect with an artery
although he lost much blood. Now
they have cut his nails. Butler used to
advertise for mining partners, get them to
go with him to imaginary mines and then
do EN-" His motive was of course rob-
berry. Finally he killed sailor and assumed
not only the latter's papers and money.
but his name. Some one who knew and
missed the sailor, exposed Butler. He had
shipped for San Francisco on sailing ves-
sci but tug and detective went out to meet
him and captured him. Thirteen or four
teen murders have been traced to him, Of
which the bodies of two of the victims have
been found. How many more he has aC-
tualIy killed will perhaps never be known.

Death of Major Il. =. Doherty-A
Brave Soldier,

NEW YORK, April 6-Maj jor f. P. Doherty,
who had command of the expedition which
captured John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of
President Lincoln, has just died in his home
here. Although Major Doherty by his pre-
vious services In the Union cause had won
distinction, his reputation and his title of
major he owed to his connection with the
capture of President Lincoln's assassin.
Doherty entered the Union army at the be-
ginning of the war, enlisting with the list
New York volunteers, with whom he fought
in the first battle of Bull Run. He subse-
quently served under Generals Grant, Me-
Clellan, Sheridan and Sherman, and was
made lieutenant Of the 10th New York cav
airy in recognition of his services. After the
assassination of President Lincoln, Col
onel L. s. Baker, special detective
of the war department, placed Lieu
tenant Doherty in charge Of an expedi-
tion to follow Booth. He gave the lieu
tenant 25 men from the 10Th cavalry and
several detectives. With these men Doherty
proceeded by steamer to Belle Plain, to
which place Booth and his accomplice,
David G. Harold, had been traced. Doherty
was gallant officer full of energy and
pluck. He participated in many of the bat
ties of the war, in all of which he was re-
markabe for his courageous conduct. At
the time of his death he was in this city being
general inspector Of paving. He leaves a
widow and one son.

A new Democratic leader in the present
session Of Congress is Joseph W. Bailey of
Texas. In the Democratic congressional
caucus, which selected one of its members
for the honor of the nomination for the
speakership, Bailey was selected, and will
therefore be the chief spokesman of the
minority in the house. He is only 80 years
of age, probably the youngest man ever Sc
lected for the leadership. Mr.. Bailey has
been in the House of Representatives for six
years, and was the youngest member of the
first Congress in which he sat-the Fifty
second. He was elected by plurality of
%, 900 in a total vote of 3l.000. He was an
anti-Bryan man in the last campaign.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 6-President
Mckinley has telegraphed the governors Of

for information as to the extent of the suf-
fering. 1t has been decided that the emer-
pair of levees cannot be used for any other
purpose. and the president til IS some
thing should be done by the federal govern
ment to relieve the distressed people. For
some years past Congress has been opposed
to granting money for the assistance to suf-
ferers from floods and other causes; it be-
lieved that the various states should look
out for their own people. When the informa-
tion desired from the governors has been re-
ceived, the president will ask Congress to
do something.

One may briefly describe Crete as
the largest of the isles of Greece, being
about 156 miles long and thirty miles
broad at the widest part mountain
Gus, but extremely fertile; inhabited
by 100000 Greeks, of whom $4,000
are Moslems, and with only three large
towns, Canea, Gambia and Retimo,
with $4,000, $4,000 and 5000 inhabi-
tants, respectively. So much one
may CLEAN from any gazetteer. But
not in that nor in the more detailed
description of the encyclopedia will
you find more than the remotest hint
of the fascination which invests this
famous island, Homer's Island of a
Hundred Cities, the birthplace and
the burial place of the King of the
Olympian gods. the scene of some OF
the finest romances of mythology, the
burial place of the great Spartan law
giver, and the scene of some of the
most interesting incidents in the early
development of Christianity. 1t is
mountainous country and volcanic as
well-"A land of old upheaven from
the abyss by fire." 1t has scarcely
one bit of ground that can be called
plain, though that back of Canea is SO
called. New bits of land so near the
centre of civilization are so little
known, and few are better worth the
knowing, for every foot of it is historic

Prince Arisugawa Takahito the heir ap
parent to the throne of Japan, is nephew
of the present emperor. He is now about 35
years OF age. His father is soldier, who
did much to distinguish himself in the Sat-
suma rebellion. Young Takahito was taken
into the imperial family as member of it
nearly 20 years ago. He spent his youth in
the navy of Japan and became proficient
officer. Ten years ago he paid a visit to
Europe, learned the ways of European
naval fighting and also gained much infor-
nation concerning the European acts of
peace. When the war with China opened
he became an officer in one of the japanese
squadrons, and the information he had ac-
quired in Europe became of vast use to him
and his government. If a son is not born to
the imperial couple this young prince will
succeed his uncle on the japanese throne.

An English statistician says there i

An English statistician says there is
not much of a psychological mystery
in the fact that SO many more people
commit suicide in summer than IN
winter, and ne does not think that the
difference is in any large measure due
to the direct effect of cold upon
human minds and bodies. 1t must be
borne in memory, he says, that
drowning isNthe commonest method OF
self-destruction, and resort to 1t IS
difficult or impossible when rivers and
ponds are covered with ice. This ac-
counts for part of the decrease.
Another part is explained by the cir
cumstance that in cold weather people
live more in association, and there is
thus less opportunity for committing
suicide. He does not think, however,
that it is possible to explain the matter
wholly without reference to the de-
pressing effects of cold on the nervous
system, and the exciting effects OF
heat. 1t requires some energy and
determination to commit suicide, and
this is lacking in person suffering
from extreme cold. All these consid-
orstions working together, the result
is that many people endure through
the winter life which they have
ceased to value, and throw it away
when the season comes in which the
material difficulties in the way OF con-
tipsuu existence are at their minimum.
