A Love Spoil.

A young lady who sings In our choir
Whose hair Is the color OF phoir.
But her charm Is unique.
She has such fair clique
1t is really Joy to be nhoir.
Whenever she looks down the aisle
She gives me beautiful smaisle,
And of all of her beaux
/ am certain she sLeaux
She likes me the best all the whaisle.
Last Sunday she wore new sacque,
Low-cut at the front and the bacque.
And o lovely bouquet 4
Worn in such cute wuet
AS only few girls have the knacque.
Some day, ere she grows too antique.
In marriage her hand I shall sique; s.
If she's not a coquette,
Which Id greatly regruette,
She shall share my six dollars wiqua

A QUESTION OF GEOGRAPHY.
Murder Trial Awaits the Result of
Land Survey.

Murder Trial Awaits the Result of .
Land Survey.
1t seems strange that there should be
places in the United States where peo-
pie may live a long time without know
ing what state they are in, but such
places are found to exist. One of these
is Bain's Statim-now known to be in
Oregon, but for some time supposed to
be in California. And at last accounts,
though it was known that the place
was in Oregon, it was not known
whether it was in Josephine or Curry
county.
Last spring a man was murdered near
Bain's Station and his body thrown into
q well. In the summer the body was
found, and man named Nelson was
suspected of the crime. Indeed, cir
cumstances pointed most closely to him.
Nelson was arrested in California, but
before taking further proceedings the
California authorities, who were doubt
full of their rights in the matter, caused
a survey of the place to be made, and it
was shown to everybody's satisfaction
that Bain's Station was in Oregon. This
fact was telephoned to the authorities
of Josephine county, Ore, who issued
warrant for Nelson.
The next step would have been for the
Oregon authorities, acting on this war
rant, to send extradition papers to the
governor of California; but an unex-
pec*ed difficulty arose imam uncertainty
whether Bain's Station was in Josephine
county or Curry county. No one knew
which county it was in.
= The line between the two counties is
the water shed between two streams,
but as there are no streams anywhere
around Bain's Station, there can be no
certainty, until survey is made,
whether it is on one side of the water
shed or the other; and proper survey
would involve much time and expense.
The accused man, therefore, at last
accounts lay in a California jail, in
which state he certainly did not commit
the crime, awaiting the determination
of the question as to what county of
Oregon the crime was committed in.-

WORK OF A MOS.
New Orleans School Building Set Apart for
Fever Patients, Is Set on Fire.

New Orleans, Sept. 24.-Efficient work
by the fire department in face of the
attacks of a mob enabled the depart
ment this morning to save the main
portion of the Beauregard school build
ing. Only the annexes of the structure
were reduced to ashes. The alarm was
sounded at 12.30A. M. After the mass
meeting of citizens held last night, a
riotous crowd gathered around the
building and openly threatened that at
first opportunity they would fire it. Sis
ters of Charity together with the help
from the hospital had been putting the
building in order for the reception of
yellow fever patients.
At night fall Surgeon Bloom of the
hospital, the sisters and others had been
warned that they had best leave the
building. They did so, headed by Sis
ter Agnes, and threaded their way
through a dense crowd of panic-stricken
citizens.
Then small force of police were or
dered to the scene. But the mob, bent

NO PROSPECTIVE DAMAGE

Hon. D. N. Dickinson.

Halifax, N. S., Sept. 24.-Hon. d. M
Dickinson resuming his address after
recess contended that there should be
no prospective damages allowed In the
case. They were too uncertain and
could not be estimated. He took IN
the points advanced by Great Britain
as taken from the evidence of the Cost.
RIGA and Geneva cases. He showed
that in the decision of the Geneva ar
bitration there was awarded an amount
Of Is per cent. per annum.
1t was held that 1t was impossible to
determine prospective damages. He
questioned the right to give prospective
damages. He questioned the right to
give prospective catch because Of the
intention to require the sealers when
they were disallowed at Geneva when
the negligence of Great Britain was
the cause of loss Of future profits In
whaling.
In the case of individuals Imprisoned
and prosecuted there should be an
award made. The principal cases.
however, were those of men who were
employed by the United States during
their Incarceration. He claimed that
the items were Jumped in. and nothing
was done to prove that the services
were worth the amounts.

Philadelphia, Sept. 24.-Lieut. r. E.
Peary, the Arctic explorer, arrived in this
city. last night. He went directly to the
Lafayette hotel and after a light lunch

the League Island navy yard where he
said he was going on official business
He stated, this morning that what he
considered the most important discovery
was his finding of the relics of Greeley's
expedition. These were found on Cape
Sabine, but he said he would not describe
them for the present. The party. Lieut..
Peary said, had experienced most un-
usual and stormy season; that they had
but few days that could be called pleas
ant, so that they could do very little. He
had. however, succeeded In establishing
and base of supplies In
preparatory to his new expe-
dition next spring.
When seen upon his return from the
navy yard, Lieut.. Peary said: I'm adj
dition to securing the meteorite, / laid
plans for next years expedition, and

| ment, Arthur H. Fem of Aiken, S. c.
AS the President alighted from the car
riage, he was greeted by President w
d. Sloane of the LenoX Golf Club, and
escorted to a large tent on the lawn.
Here he held short reception to the
members of the club and the cottagers
present and was introduced to Mr..
