The village of Tenleytown was in almost

PIE We're indignant. There are in all about
siNty-two incandescent electric lights for
the illumination Of the Teneytown road
give light According to the report made
by the patrol force of the village there was
70 illumination from fifty-two out of, the
sixty-two lamps from 1:32 o'clock last
evening until 4:iS this morning. The fail
ure of this large number of lights was
probably due to short circuit being es-
tablished al some point along the line.
or late there have been several state
nients going the rounds that the Linthicum
Institute, the free night school for working
boys, would not be opened this year ac-
ccrdlnS to the usual custom. due to the
fact that the finances of the institution
We're not sufficient. This statement is in
dlgnantly denied. One of the members of
the board of trustees of the institute in
formed a Star reporter that the session of

ever. and that the school would remain in

He Talks Of What He Hopes 10 Ac-
cOmplish in Paris.
Major Moses p. Handy. who was APP
pointed by President Mckinley special
commissioner to the Paris Exposition of
1909, will leave for France on the French
line steamer Gascogne on Saturday for the
purpose of arranging for space for the ex-
hibt of the United States.
The New York Helald prints an inter
view with the major. IN which he said:
My present trip is to apply for space
and location and to learn what 1 can about
the exposition and what other nations in
tend doing. L shall be accompanied by
Lieutenant A. c. Baker. U. S. N, who has
been detailed for the purpose and by Col
onel Charles Challie-Long, who is secre-
tary to the commission. Lieutenant Baker
has had considerable experience in EXPOSE
tiCn work, and Colonel Challie-Long has
had experience in the diplomatic service.
I'VE late in making our application
for space, but not as late our represent
tat.veS were. at former exDositions. Alter
feeling the pulse of intending exhibitors
as have done, l am satisfied that We shall
need 100000 square feet of space. At the
Paris Exposition of 1889 we had only 1l3.-
600 feet, end most of that was in Door To-
cations. l hope TO obtain a good location
this time, and to have our exhibit arranged
Systematically, instead of its being a scat
teriEg of unrelated objects.
think 1t was Chauncey M. Depew who
said of one of our former exhibits abroad
that it seemed to be nothing but beer bot
ties and sewing machines. Now, in place
or that L hope to see each state make an
exhibit and have certain towns noted for
a particular manufacture make a disDlay
in the name of the town."

SUICIDE IN A CEMETERY.
Lew Deervestcr Denies Completely in
u Double Crime and Cuts His Throat.

BELLEFONTAINE, o. Aug. 13-EXCite-
ment was at fever heat in this city at s
o'clock this morning on account of the body
of Lew Deerwester who was on Tuesday
night arrested on suspicion of having been
implicated in the DERRICK double murder.
being found in Blue Jacket Cemetery. The
general verdict now is that Deerwester to-
gether with an accomplice, committed the
shocking crime which came to light Mon
day morning. Deerwester, who was found
on his wife's grave this morning, attempted
suicide by cutting his throat with a razor,
the razor having been found some distance
from where the body was lying. Some still
think that he was assaulted by his accom-
pl.ce in the crime charged. Deerwester is
unconscious and still living and slight hopes
are held for his recovery He is in
stupor and cannot talk A notebook be-
longing to the dying man was found in the
cemetery. 1t contained the following denial,
signed in Deerwester's own handwriting,
and this makes the verdict of suicide
stronger than ever. The denial reads as
follows:
Dear Friends-You are accusing me of
deed l did not do and rather than disgrace
my people / will take my life. So good bye
to all dear friends forever God forgive me
for this. | would rather die than be dis
graced. l have harmed nobody. L have
one to live for. All that were dear to me
are gone. Farewell to all;
The book also contained a note and
piece Of cedar from his wifes grave. The
apparently dead body of the man was found
by Mrs. Frank Grey and Jacob Dunson. At
$50 the almost lifeless body of Deerwester
was taken to the county Jail in an am
bulance. Detective John T. Norris, who
caused the arrest will endeavor to get a
confession out of the man. Nearly a thou
sand people are surrounding the Jail. Miss
Kate Kaylor, of Blue Jacket Mills, while
on her way to Belefontaine last evening,
saw man on his knees in the cemetery.
but thinking it some one waiting to get
into the schoolhouse to stay all night, she

MAILS FOR THE KLONDIKE.
Poor Prospects of Better Facilities
Through Interchange.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 13.-The Postoftice
Department has written the postal authori-
ties of Canada concerning cooperation in
carrying the mails to the Klondike country,
but there is not much hope of being able
to reach an adjustment, as the American
contractor may not accept modification
Of his contract. The proposition made is
that the two governments should cooper
ate and arrange for an interchange of mail
at Circle City and Dawson City, the United
States to maintain a service once a month
and Canada the same. This would give
two mails every month. No reply has been
received from the Canadian government
and even if it was favorable, arrangements
must be made with the contractor who
carries mail to Circle City to carry the
mail destined for Dawson City in Canada
His representative in Washington has init
mated that he will not care to modify his
contract, and indicates that in case there
is to be an increase in the service the con-
tractor should have considerable more COM
pensaton. The Postoffice Department cam
not modify the contract and impose more
labor on the contractor without his consent.
1t is recognized at the department that
arrange ments must be mutual agreement
not only with the Canadian government,
but with the Alaskan contractor.

NOTED COREAN DEAD.
Pom Kwang Sob Dies of Consumption
Aggravated by Oyerexercise.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Mr. Pom
Kwang Sob, president of the privy council
of Corea and ex-minister to this country,
died at his residence here at $3.50 o'clock
this afternoon of acute consumption, ag-
gravated by overexercise. He was forty
eight years old. Mr.. Sob had been in poor
health for many years and insthe past year
or two it frequently gave rise to serious
concern. Last autumn when he was APP
pointed to the head of the Kings privy
council, a post ranking next to the throne
CT the kingdom, he was unable to proceed
to his country owing to his Ill health and
deferred his departure from time to time.
With the approach of the Queens jubilee
the King appointed him special commission
er to represent him on that occasion The
journey only aggravated his complaint,
however and the acute attack which has
tened his demise was brought on by violent
exercise in riding bike last Saturday
night. The funeral exercises will take place
at his late residence at o'clock Sunday
afternoon.
Minister Chin Pom Ye and attaches of
the Corean legation and Prince Eni VIVA,
second son of the King. who is now in this
country, and many members of the diplo-
matte corps will attend. Immediately after
the ceremony the remains will be cremated
in a local undertaking establishment. This
is in accordance with the last request of
the dead statesman. Whether or not the
ashes will then be sent TO his mother cOun-
try has not vet been decided.
Despite the fact that he W as within the
half century mark in age, few men have
had more varied career than he. For
long period he was eXiled from Corea as
a result of the political troubles in that
kingdom He came to this country and set
tied down in Washington. He at one time
held low grade position in one of the gov
eminent departments, then he became a
clerk and finally was employed in the
United States Bureau of Education as
translator. Finally a change in his own
country and the ban was removed and he
was placed in the highest office in the gift
of the King. For about half year Mr..
Sob was minister of justice for the king
dom For a short time he also held the
portfolio of minister of education. Then
followed his appointment to represent Corea
i'm this country. He came here in January,
1896 and continued in the post till the fol-
lowing June. when he was relieved by the
present minister Mr.. Sob led a quiet life
i'm Washington. but gathered about him a
number of warm friends. He leaves a wife
