The woman who dares is becoming
more common. Perhaps it's the result
of the new woman craze. At any rate,
here is a story about one She is a young
mntron in New brunswick, n. j., named
Mrs. Julia IIeidingsfelt. AT about / 80
o'clock one Sunday morning lately Mrs.
Icidingsfelt, who with her husband oc-
ruPies a fiat on the ground floor of an
apartment house, was awakened by the
opening of a kitchen window. Instead
of quaking with fear and arousing her
husband, the young woman got out Of
bed and went to the kitchen. There she
saw a burglar climbing in through the
window. Mrs. Heidingsfelt promptly
caught up a very feminine weapon, an
ironing board and fell to. She brought
the slab heavily down upon the mans
head, He grappled with the plue<y
woman, but she pushed him out of the
window, secured the shutters and re.
turned to bed. She did not take the
trouble to notify the police until several
hours later and by that time the house
breaker had made his escape.

John Wanamaker won't be the sue
cessor Of Don Cameron in the United
States senate. That was settled by the
Republican caucus on Tuesday night,
but no sooner was he whipped than a
boom was sprung for him for state treas
urer. Wanamaker is making Il dcs-
perate effort to follow Quay's footsteps,
but he ought to show some originality.
Because Quay depleted the treasury Of
s4OO, 900 at one whack when he held the
keys is not good reason that John
Wanamaker should be given the same
privilege.

\ Brooklyn man wants to establish a
chain of stations across the ocean on
the lines of the steamship routes. lie
has invented buoy, number of which
he would place in the ocean at intervals
along the routes and at intervals of 100
miles guardships with a crew of eight
or twelve men would be stationed.
Each buoy has crew of three men,
sleeping, cooking and living quarters,
and is equipped with lifcboat and Il
life raft, all the buoys being connected
with the guardships by telephone, MAX
ing them very useful to shipwrecked
crews or vessels in distress. The buoys
are provided with signal lights and fog
horns. The inventor claims this sysv
TEN would be useful in time of war as
well as peace by mounting on each buoy
a number Of raPid-liring guns and also
using them for outposts or pickets.

Canea, March Notwithstanding
the support furnished the Turks by the
foreign fleets, the Christian insurgents
have captured all the strategic posi-
tions around this city, except the town
of Outsonnaria, which commands the
spring which supplies Canea with
water. Special efforts will be made to
prevent the capture of Outsonnaria, for
if it should fall into the hands of the in
surgents they would, by being able to
cut off the water supply, be practically
masters of Canea.
Cannonading was heard throughout
the day, in the direction of Alikian,
where is situated the camp of Colonel
Vassos, the commander of the Greek
army of occupation. The firing added
to the fears of the Moslems here, who
thought that the insurgents and Greeks
had combined and would make an at
tack upon Canea. The Moslem refugees
have little faith in the ability of the
powers to save them should an attack
be made, but there is really scarcely
any danger that the Greek troops will
advance nearer the town than they are
now No explanation of the firing has
been given.

DEMoRALIzATIoN CONFERENCES.
Rate Cutting as Result of the De-
ciSion.

Chicago, March 27.-The first open
fiat cut rate since the association
decision of the supreme court of the
souri, Pacific railroad 1t made a rate
of 3315 cents on eggs on car lots from
all Kansas points to st. Louis, subject
to the Missouri river n1inimumS. This
is a proportional rate on through bust
ness east of the western trunk line
terminal and to points thereof. The
tariff rate is from 45 to 70 cents per
100 pounds. 1t is understood that the
western lines will publish an equaliz-
ing tariff as soon as the Missouri Pa
cific's rate, which is effective next Mon
day, is made known. The effect of this
cut will be to send 300, 900 cases of eggs
for storage from Chicago houses to
cities east of Pittsburg and Buffalo
The cause of this cut is the withdrawal
of roads from the freight associations
and the effect will be to demoralize the
whole western freight rate situation
next week.
Chicago roads have secured from the
interstate commerce commission the
suspension of the long and short haul
clauses of the act so far as passenger
business from Canadian points to the
Kootenai gold fields in British Column
bia is concerned. because the Canadian
Pacific road put into effect a reduction
of 81 to IS from points in eastern Can
ada TO the gold fields. This suspension
means that the Canadian cut will now
be met via Chicago.
Net earnings of the Chicago. Mil
waukee & st. Paul road for February
amounted to S273613, an increase or
$i5,S75 compared with the same month
in 1896.

Chicago. March PA special to the
Tribune from st. Louis says: Con-
fidently expecting that Governor
Stephens will sign the Horsebreeders
bill which incidentally permits the
licensing of prize fights. the Olympic
Athletic club of St. Louis will be in
ccrporated today with a capital stock
of 100000 Many ST. Louis moneyed
men are interested and if necessity re-
quired it could incorporate for $1,000
000
The availability of st. Louis as a
central point. easily accessible from all
sections of the country, and the further
fact that Missouri will enjoy consider
able of a monopoly in a pugilistic
way should the breeders bill be signed
are the considerations which led to the
formation of the club.
No big attraction in an athletic way
will be neglected by the club. The first
attraction which will be secured and
the one which will initiate the new
club will be the contest between
Sharkey and Maher, who have been
matched to fight some time soon. The
club will offer a big purse for the men
to meet here and if necessity requires,
will outbid any other athletic club in
the country.
A New York club has offered $4,000
for the match, and the least the st.
Louis organization expects to offer is
SO. 900. The new club proposes to
have a battle between the leading
lightweights of the world on the same
night of the Makers harkey affair.

II Was Sensational.

New York. March pa Herald spe-
cial from Key West, Fla. says:
1t is stated on the best authority
that a filibustering expedition which
sailed from this vicinity last week eff
fected a landing on the north coast Of
Cuba, west of Havana, near Mariel
According to rumors which are cur
rent here, startling circumstances at
is said, had been informed that such
an expedition would land from the
steamer Bermuda, and a strong force
was placed in ambush on the northern
coast near the point where il was sup
posed that the party would attempt
to reach the shore. The spot where the
expedition really landed was, in fact,
only short distance from the reported
ambush of the Spaniards, and as soon
as the Cubans came ashore with their
arms and ammunition they were met
by a sharp fire and attack, before
which they were powerleSS. Several
of the CubanS. according to the ru-
NOR, were killed and the munitions of
war were seized. Later, the rumor
states, a large body of Cubans came
to the rescue Of the newly-landed men
and boldly attacked the victorious
Spanish troops, the result being that
the Spaniards, in their turn were put
to flight, the war like cargo remaining
in the hands of the Cubans.
The SpaniardS had also sent several
gunboats to this part of the coast,
and when the filibustering vessel sailed
she was chased and fired upon, but ac-
cording TO the report was uninjured.

Philadelphia, March 27.-The flibus-
tering steamer Laurada arrived at the
Delaware breakwater this evening af-
ter having, it is said, landed the most
important expedition sent from this
country TO Cuba.
1t was shortly after dark when she
! slipped past the United States revenue
cutter Hamilton and Immediately dis
appeared in the darkness up the bay.
The Hamilton had been watching at
the breakwater for the steamer for
some time, and shortly after the Lau-
rada had passed in she got under way.
but 1T was impossible to tell in the
darkness which course she took.
Although making no signals. the
Laurada came near enough TO the re-
cording station at the breakwater to
be identified. She had been off the
cape all day, but was evidently afraid
of the Hamilton and waited until dark
ness enabled her TO slip by unobserved.
The Laurada left Baltimore Feb. %
for Philadelphia, and when near Cape
Henry four boats were taken on board
to be used in landing the war material.
Three days afterward she met the
schooner Donna T. Briggs of Stoning-
ton, Conn.,, and the steam lighter Jen-
ME H. from New York, loaded with
war material, which was transferred
to the Laurada u miles off Barnegat.
The vessels PROV was then turned
toward the West Indies
The expedition was in charge of Cen
eral Carlos Roloff, the insurgent min
lister of war. There were 40 others on
the Laurada when she left, and in her
hold were slowed 1000 rifles. LOO, 900
rounds Of ammunition, % tons of stick
dynamite and a large supply of food
and medicine. The expedition was
fitted out by the Cuban junta for Gen
eral Garcia and landed in the province
of Santiago de Cuba, where large
force had been sent to meet and con-
vey the supplies to the headquarters
of the army in the interior. Among
those on board the Laurada is Mrs.
Hughes, the wife of the commander.
Two detectives are also said TO be on
board, having been sent from New
York, and who are said to have kept a
daily log of the vessels movements
They are said TO have gone in the guise
of firenen.

They Shouted For War.

London, March 27.-The Sun will to-
morrow publish a dispatch from Ath-
ems, saying the crown prince Constan-
tine finally started for the frontier of
Thessaly this evening. There was a
pathetic parting between himself and
the members of his family. all Sc eming
to fully realize the import of the under
taking. The fact that he was to leave
TO assume command of the Greek forces
which are now confronting the Turks
on the frontier became known to the
public some time previous to his de-
parture. The streets in the vicinity of
the palace were damned with people
who frantically acclaimed the crown
prince when he appeared. The widest
enthusiasm was everywhere displayed,
and the crowds shouted for war until
they were hoarse.

TORTURED BY fIENDS.
AN AGED FARMER FINALLY

He Lived Alone and Was Supposed

Brutal and Fiendish Gases in the
Annals of Crime.

Beatrice, Neb., March 27.-David
Jones, an aged farmer, who lived near
Wymore, died today of injuries in
fIicted one week ago by robbers. Jones
was Il wears of age. a bachelor, and
lived alone. He vas quite wealthy and
was popularity supposed to keep large
sums OF money about his place About
o'clock one night, as he was prepar-
ing TO retire. two masked men entered
his house. One knocked him down with
& blow on the head When he
had partly regained consciousness
he was demanded to show where
he kept his money. He took
them upstairs and showing them 81,
declared it was all he had. They then
tied him to a bed, wrapped his feet in
clothes, and after saturating them with
coal oil. set them on fire. He still pro-
tested, and a bundle of clothes were
laid on his bare stomach and set on
fire. Failing in their purpose, more of
the oiled clothes were placed on the
back of his neck and burned. The men
then left. About daylight Jones man
aged to get free, crawled to the barn,
got a horse and rode to his sisters. a
half mile distant, where he fell from
the animal unconscious. He was only
able to give a slight description of his
assailants. An inquest was held this
afternoon, which has resulted in clue
which is hoped will lead to the arrest of
the guilty parties, in which event the
now thoroughly aroused community de-
clare there will be a lynching. There
is a strong public demand for the
county to offer a large reward for the

The conference was held in the private
Office of Mr.. Brush. When asked if the
transfer of the Cleveland club to st.

Robson refused to talk. Mr.. Brush ad-
mitted that an important deal was un-

port bill for legalizing betting in the
ring has been tried without success.
The licensing of bookmakerst COM
mends itself to many members who
see no harm in legal recognition of a.
practice which may be called national.
But no government could sway the
hurricane of reproach which would
arise from the solemn body of electors.

cides the fate of governments. A bill

and will get strong support. but no
minister will venture to support it in
his ministerial capacity, and if the
measure gets to second reading. it's
rejection is certain. The bookmakers'
shop is summarily closed and probably
forever. If the Anti-betting League
follows up its victory, betting as now
practiced by nearly all classes will be-
come impossible.
