Only Hope of Identification in Some
Cases is by Jewelry.
Paris, May 5.-The search for the dead
continues in the ruins. Quantities Of
coins, watches, rings, necklaces and
bracelets have been picked up in the
debris
At s o'clock there was a movement to-
wards a corner of the ruins and another
body was slowly drawn from the mass
with which it had been covered 1t was
little more than a black trunk-headless
and limbless-and little hope is enter

this case, as in nearly all other instances,
the iremen and police, upon discovering
Il body, carefully overhauled everything
near it and under it in order to discover
If possible some piece of jeWelry or other
article which might lead to the identif-
cation of the remains.
So soon as the bodies are claimed by
the anxious relatives and others who are
searching for the missing and who have
been lowering in despair about this spot
throughout the night, they are placed in
carriages held in waiting and taken to
their former homes.
The scene at night was a remarkable
one. Long lines of infantry were drawn
in Gordon around the dreadful spot.

The bazaar was opposite Baron Roths-
child's stables. One of the grooms
saved many of the people whose clothing

EXPECTATION OF BUTTER.
First Shipment Under Agricultural De-
partment's New Rules.

First Shipment Under Agricultural De-
partment's New Rules.
New York, May 5.-The first shipment
of butter to England under the new plan
of the secretary of agriculture was made
on the American line steamship st. Paul
today. Henry E. Alvord chief of the
dairy division of the agricultural depart
ment, was here to superintend it. The
invoice consists of ton and half of
samples from dairies in New England
and the West, put up in packages in great
variety and graded as to color, salt, etc.
1t will be met on the arrival of the steam
err at Southampton by the London agent
of the agricultural department, who will
employ recognized experts to analyze and
score it on the same card that is used by
the butter dealers of Chicago. 1t will
then be put on the market for public
criticism, and the agent in charge will
trace every package, as near as possible,
to the consumer, and discover what OBJ
jections are raised and what criticisms
are made by various sorts of people. The
dairymen of the country have taken hold
of this movement with great interest, and
several of the prominent buttermakcrs
in the West have gone to Washington to
confer personally with the secretary of
agriculture on the subject. They are
confident that they can make just as good
butter as the Danes, and that they can
produce enough to supply the demand of
Europe if they can get foothold in that
market. They have promised Secretary
Wilson active and careful cooperation,
and when the reports on the present in
voice are received copies will be fur
nished for their information. They prom

INDIANS ARE NOT SOLDIERS.
Will Not Endure Discipline and Cannot
be Taught Regular Habits.

Washington, D. c., May 6.-After six
years of experiment, the attempt to make
soldiers out Of the Indians will be aban-
doned, and the last company will be mus
tered out at Fort Sill on the 31st of May.
The trouble has been that the Indians
will not endure discipline and cannot be,
taught regular habits. They refuse to get
up at the reveille call Ill the morning and!
will not go to bed when taps are sounded
at night. They neglect guard duty, and
will not perform the many little services
that are expected of enlisted men in the,
regular army When punished for pecca-~
dillos they invariably rebel, and their,
friends support them in mutinty and in
subordination. In short, the untutoredl
mind of the red man cannot comprehend
the usefulness of army regulations and
while he is all right as scout on gov-
as-you-please commission, he is useless
when tied down to the dull routine of a
garrison, or a camp. The failure of this
experiment is a great disappointment to
many humanitarians, who hoped that
career might be found for the Indians ia
the military service of the United States.

LEFT-HANDED CREATURES.
Livingstone, the Explorer, Made a Curl
Gus Discovery.

There seems to be evidence that some
animals, at least, are left-handed. Par
rnts grasp and hold food with the left
claw, Livingstone stated that lions
struck with the left paw; he held, in
deed, that all animals are left-handed.
One investigator, who has been shaking
hands with parrots to verify this OBJ
servation, finds that the left-handed hab-
lit may be induced in parrots from the
fact that in offering ones finger for
the parrot to grasp it is usually that
of the right hand. The parrot, there
fore, puts his left claw forward. If a
left finger be offered, the bird will put
forward the right foot.

ACCOUNTING SCENES.
Relatives Perish in Sight of Each Other
Some ReSCues

Paris May 5.--Many tales of despair
are told. Nine. Feulard was saved by
her husband, who as soon as he had
placed her in safety, dashed back to the
burning building in order to save his
daughter. He had clasped the girl in
his arms and had nearly reached the
door when they were caught in the
flames and father and daughter persisted
before the eyes of the agonized mother.
The Baron de Mackau had similar eX-
perience. Seven times he penetrated the
Banning ruins in search of his sister, each
time to save another and only to see his
sister, Iater, fall before his eyes, when
he no longer had strength to lift her.
INae MarQuise de Aigle was rescued by
d fireman after she had given herself
UP as lost All her friends had fallen
around her and she was on her knees in
prayer awaiting death when fireman
caught her up and succeeded in eXtricat-
ing her though she was frightfulIy
burned.
The women who succeeded in escaping
rushed shrieking madly into the court
yards Of adjoining houses, wildly be-
seeching help.
The fact that the faces and heads of
the dead were so horribly charred and
disfgured is explained by the fact that
the capes worn were generally Of fiimsy
material and were the first articles of APP
Darel to catch fire.
The Marquise Lubersac is in a critical
condition.
Nine Mathieylle had her whole body
blstered.
Mime. La Miolle was severely burned
about her back and head.

A JOKE WHICH PROVED FATAL.
Young Men Steal Bottle, Drink Its
Contents and Die.

Contents and Die.
Decatur, Ind, May 5.-As the result of
a joke at Markle, near here, last night,
two young men lost their lives and a third
is on the verge of death. The young
men-Davis, Kingnan and Bradenstadt
started out to have good time. They
went into drug store. While the clerk
had hiG back turned they took bottle
labeled alcohol, but which in reality con-
tanned a deadly poison, and, one of them
secreting the bottle beneath his coat, they
went to the edge of town and drank the
contents. In a short time they were
seized with commissions and a physician
was summoned, but he could afford no re-
lief. In a short time two of the young
men died in terrible agony, while the
third is in hopeless condition.

Refurnishing the k'ez..

A business in Constantinople, monop-
olized by the Greeks or Armenians, is the
renovation of the fez. This headgear,
which is worn almost universally by the
male population, is manufactured in
France. 1T very soon, however, loses its
pristine iauntiness, and becomes Gimp
and detected affair that gives to it's own
en- rakish air of imbecility not to be
borne. In this condition it becomes nee
essary to resort to the fez restorer, who
promptly adjusts the offending headgear
over heated brass pot shaped like a
flower pot, which is made to reyolve
briskly around the lower one by means
of two handles. When this is removed
the fez is found to have regained its
youthful appearance and vigor, and is
returned to its rightful owner, who stands
patiently by.-Leslie's Popular Magazine.
