TO SEE DURRANT DIE.

Prominent People ImpOrtune the Warden
of the California Prison For Invitations.
Scores of prominent men throughout
the state have petitioned Warden Hale
of San Quentin prison for invitations to
the hanging of Theodore Durrant. The
demand for the black bordered cards be-
came so great that the warden referred
the matter to the prison directors.
They indicated their desire to have
the affair conducted as quietly as pos
sible. For that reason the warden will
endeavor to limit the invitations to the
minimum number required by the law.
1t is not thought that more than 80 peo-
pie will see Durrant die
''For time" said the warden re-
Gently, 81 was dreadfully annoyed by
demands for invitations to the hanging.
Something had to be done, and the di-
rectors finally decided that 1 should
keep within the lowest limit of the
law. Since the matter has been given
publicity have not been annoyed so
much, although requests for invitations
are still pouring in. In regard to the
case at hand, We will simply follow the
strict letter of TIE law. San Francis

WILD MAN SEEN AGAIN.
He Wears Nothing but Hair, Which Is
Long and Curly.

He Wears Nothing but Hair, Which Is
Long and Curly.
The wild man who created so much
terror among the inhabitants near
Rome, O., several weeks ago by his
strange actions has again been seen.
Charles Lukins and Bob Former, while
cutting timber few miles from Rome,
claim they encountered wild man and
after a severe struggle say they were
able to drive the gorillalike object into
his supposed retreat among the cliffs.
They describe the terror as being
about six feet tall and his only cover
ing. apparently, a mat of long, curly
hair. From their description 0f tn6 sup
posed wild man he is undoubtedly the
same seen a number of times several
weeks ago
Women and children are now more
thoroughly frightened than ever and
are afraid to venture from their homes
lest they meet the wild creature. A
posse of determined men will scour the
country now until the terror is located
and captured or killed. - Cleveland

HARD ON OUR DOGS.
Very Few of Them VIII Be Allowed to
Land In England.

Land In England.
The White Star line steamer Majestic,
from Liverpool, brings to New I OK
copies of an order issued by the British
board of agriculture in consequence of
the hydrophobia scare, arising i'll part
from the practice of bringing dogs to
Great Britain from American ports.
The order will be posted throughout the
United States. Its enforcement is likely
to cause trouble, as it is the most strin-
gent precautionary measure of the kind
ever adopted here
1t provides that no dog shall be al
lowed to enter Great Britain after Sep
TENDER without special license issued
by the board of agriculture, which can
be obtained only after going through
many formalities. Details for the iden-
LITIGATION of the dog must be given, as
well as the address Of the owner, where
the animal is going to land, the route
by which it is to travel, etc. In case of
violation of any of the provisions of the
order the dog will be liable to six
months quarantine at the expense of its
owner,

MOUNTAIN OBSERVATORlES.
Described For the First Time In New
Book on Astronomy.


Book on Astronomy.
The new book which E. S. Holden,
director of Lick university, has just is
sued, through the Smithsonian institu-
ton, is the first ever written giving an
accurate idea of the mountain observ-
atories of the world.
1t describes work done on Ell Neisti
by the Harvard college expedition, at
height of 10, 200 feet above the level of
the sea. The meteorological station on
the Sonnblick, 8, 843 feet above the sea,
is described. 1t tells of the dangers to
which those taking observations on
Mont Blanc are exposed.
What is transporting Oh Mount Hamil-
ton is made known to us. Professor
Holden says that the mountain observa-
tories are descendants of Galilei's tower
of Arcetri. They enable the observers to
mount their telescopes as high as posi-
BILE above the dust atmosphere into one
which is known as steady or where the
air is not constantly in motion.
Twinkling of the stars is caused by
currents of our air. Those who inhabit
the mountain observatories i'll winter
undergo great hardship. Ell Neisti, one
OF the Andes. is 1890 feet higher than
Pixies peak. Here the wind always
blows at the rate of 30 miles an hour,
and temperature ranges from SO degrees
above to zero. Chicago Inter Ocean.
