Unique Honor to a Woman.

The only woman who ever received
the freedom of Scotch city is Miss
Jessie McKie, of Dumfries, who re-
ceived this honor in company with Mr..
Balfour, first lord of the treasury, from
the mayor Of her town. This signal
distinction has been bestowed On her as
mark of the respect and gratitude of
her fellow citizens for her efforts to-
improve and beautify the town of Dunn
fries. AS there are only two other
lady burgesses in the United Kingdom,
athe inhabitants Of Dumfries could
hardly have chosen more fattering
method of conveying their appreciation
of Miss McKie's generosity.
Miss Lettice Ilbert, who has this
year obtained a first-class in the Ok
ford final-honors school of modern his
tory, is daughter of Sir Courtenay
Ilbert, Z. G. S. l. The early years of
Miss Ilbert's life were spent in India,
but on the return of Sir Courtenay
Ibert to England to take up the post of
assistant parliamentary counsel Miss
Ilbert became pupil at the Baker,
street High school. In 1898 Miss
Ilbert passed the higher examination
of the Oxford and Cam bridge joint
board, and in the following year she
went up to Somerville College, Oxford,
where she obtained the Margaret Evans
prize. Not satisfied with her brilliant
career at Oxford, Miss Ilbert has de-
cided not to rest on her laurels, and
has just been elected to studentship at
the London School of Economics.

GEORGE M. PULLMAN DEAD.

The Pa1ace-Car Magnate Expires of
Heart Disease at Chicago.
Chicago, Oct. 21.-George M. Pull
man, the palace-car magnate, died at
his residence, Eighteenth street and
Prairie avenue, this city, at 5 O'Clock
this morning Mr.. Pullman, who was
in his 66th year, had not been enjoying
lis usual good health during the sum-
mer. The extreme heat of last week
greatly aggravated his disease, known
to medical science as angina pectoris,
but no serious trouble was anticipated.
Mr. Pullamn was at his Office in the
Pullman building yesterday. and dined
with his friends at his club. Later in
the evening he remarked having slight
pain in the back He retired at his
usual early hour.
At 4 o'clock this morning his house
hold was awakened by disturban ce in
Mr.. Pullman's chamber, and, upon en-
tering, found him standing in the cor
ner of the room, dazed and apparently
suffering excruciating pains in the re-
gion of the heart.
Rev. H. M. Eaton, who was visiting
Mr.. Pullman, called DIR. Frank Bill
ings, the family physician. Restora-
tives were applied, but to no purpose,
and at o'clock the millionaire passed
away without speaking, and with
scarcely struggle.

MUST TAKE THE LEAD.
Arbitration Matter VIII Not Otherwise
Be Revived.


New York, Oct. 2O.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
Unless the British foreign Office presses
the negotiations in connection with a
general arbitration treaty the matter
will not again be taken up by this gov
ernment. Neither the administration
nor the British foreign office has dur
ing the last three months shown any
disposition to expedite matters. De-
partment officials declare that Great
Britain must be the one to revive the
subject if it is to be revived at all. A
cabinet official says the president is
Still desirous Of securing a treaty cf
arbitration with Great Britain. Mr..
Mckinley hoped that more interest
would be taken by Great Britain than
heretofore.
The authorities are apparently much
chagrined over England's action in the
Behring sea matter, in which all the
interested powers were to participate.
Had the general arbitration treaty ne
gotiated by the Cleveland administra-
tion been approved the controversy in
regard to seals could properly be con-
sidered by such a tribunal as proposed
by that convention.
Lord Salisbury would also be pleased
to have the treaty in force, for then he
could permit the sealing question to
be arbitrated and put out to Canada
that she was bound by the convention
to take such action. Now, however,
the negotiation of general arbitration
treaty might be considered by Cana
dians as indicative of desire of the
Salisbury government to play into the
hands of the United States.

A New Catholic Policy.

New York, Oct. 2O.-It is reported
in high official circles that Archbishop
Corrigan has been negotiating with Su-
perintendent Jasper of the public
schools for the affiliation Of parochial
and public schools in this city. He
has offered, it is alleged, to turn the
Catholic schools with their 10000
children, over to the municipal school
authorities, provided he is permitted
to give an hours instruction daily to
the Catholic children of the public
schools: This is the stipulation. He
makes no other, either as regards text
books or teachers. It is said many
other metropolitans are anxious to
adopt similar policy if it meets the
approval of the apostolic delegate.

Earl Ii to Retire.

Tacoma, Oct. 2O.-According to Chi
nese advices just received, Earl Lii
Hung Chang will no longer take an
active part in government. A native
correspondent writing from Peking says
that Ii has been in ill health, though
it is not generally known. He is anx-
ious for rest. This will permit him
to relinquish his duty as grand secre-
tary and minister of the tsung-li-yamen.
He realizes there are many reforms
which China must soon undertake if
she is to preserve her unity, and he
would like to have part in carrying
them out. Knowing, however, that
only a start can be made while he lives,
and that care and work will shorten
his days, he has decided to retire as
soon as possible to the quiet of his own
estate in Anhin.

sugar Beets in New MEXICO.

Santa Fe, N. M, Oct. 20.-Industrial
Commissioner Davis, of the Santa Fe
railroad, and party of capitalists are
examining into sngar-beet farms here.
They have found acres of beets weigh
ing from one to six pounds, which, ac-
cording to analysis by the territorial
agricultural college, yield from 10 to 1S
per cent sugar. They express surprise
that Rocky mountain valleys above
1000 feet in altitude can show such
results.
There is project on foot to erect a
sugar factory here and Commissioner
Davis said his corporation will give it
all possible support. He says also that
it is probable that Eastern capital will
within short time establish large
sugar factory somewhere in the Cen
trail Rio Grande valley.

Phenomenal Freak.

st. Louis, Oct. 2O.-A local commits
sion merchant has brought to light a
phenomenon, which is attracting the
attention of scientists here. While one
of the employees of the house was dress
ing turkey he was dumfounded to
find in it's interior a live, well-formed
young turkey as large as full-grown
pigeon. It is perfect in every way, ex-
cepting the head, which was attached
to the mother, and is fatty growth.
The little turkey died as soon as it was
severed from its dead mother. 1t was
preserved in alcohol and is now in the
collection of the Missouri medical col
lege, where it is attracting the atten-
tion of the medical fraternity.

Springfield, Mo. Oct. 21.-Raymond,
the 12-year-old son of A, D. Allen,
stenographer in the circuit court, went
to school this morning, carrying por-
tion of stick of dynamite. The ex-
plosive, which the boy had found in a
stone quarry, was in his pocket with a
knife, top, marbles and quantity of
other things common to boys pockets.
In getting into his seat. the boy banged
his dangerous collection of old junk
against the desk, causing an explosion
which will probably cost him his life,
and which was heard for several blocks.
The child's right hand was blown off
and in his right groin terrible wound
was inflicted, from which the surgeons
say he cannot recover. The teacher,
Miss Mack, was close by, and had her
dres; torn into shreds, but she was not
hurt. The explosion caused panic
among the other children, and several
were hurt in trying to get out of the
