NEW YORK, n. Y, Jan. ga Herald
special from Washington says: The re-
port of com plants of memb bers of the Rus
sian Orthodox Church in Alaska on ac-
count of alleged outrages by agents OF the

to any diplomatic negotiations between
the United States and Russia.
Russian Minister Koetzebue said yester-
day that the persons alleged to have been
maItreated are not Russian citizens, but
citizens of the United States, though
members of the Russian churches. Naval

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Jan. 23.-Father
Halstern, until recently priest in charge
of st. Mary's Cathedral Church at
Barthon, Wis, has filed suit against the
Right Rev. Katz, Bishop of the dioce Sc
of Milwaukee.
The proceeding is without precedent
and if a compromise is affected, it must
first be sanctioned by the Pope. The suit
seeks to recover $4,000 damages for al
legged SANDER
Bishop Katz has acquainted Father
Martinelli, the papal delegate at Washing
ton, Of the facts in the suit, and Father
Halstern has been directed by the able
gate to withdraw the proceedings. Not
withstanding this fact Bishop katz has
been cited to appear before Court Com
missioner Hugh Ryan and submit to an
examination.
The suit grows out of the troubles in
Barton which occurred soon after Father
Halstern was appointed to the church
about three years ago.

CAPTURED BY ANTS,

story OF the Strange and UnDIeanant
h1pertence' of an BnEIisb> vesseI.
When a vessel recently arrived in
Liverpool with a cargo of rlogwoody
everybody on board, from captain down
to cook, rushed frantically ashore. as
though pursued by some unseen ene-
my. AS a matter of fact, the vessel
was literally swarming with hordes of
hungry Jamaica nnts, says a London
witness. .....
The little pests had invaded the lock-
ers and dived headlong into the sugar
barrels. After finishing the, contents
of these, they proceeded to bore holes
through the supply of hard tack, and
ate everything before them, until it
was feared thatth stock Of provisions
on board would run short. There was
cessation from their attacks, when the
vessel was caught in West India hur-
ricane, which flooded the cabin and
drenched everything below. 1t was
supposed that the intruders had all
been drowned, but after the storm had
passed away they began again with re-
newed energy.
The captain who commands thieves
sci stated that there are millions of the
insects still on boardC and he thought
that the oargomust have come from the
vicinity of ant hills for which Jamaien
'is noted. He stated that the ants were
in all parts of the. vessel, and that in all
his experience at sea he had never be-
fore met with an attack like the new
comers waged against him"

Deaf Mute Education.

The Columbia Institution is unique,
not only because it is the only college
for the deaf and dumb in the world,
but also because it is the only institu.
tion where individuals acquire a com.
plete education. Its teachings extend
from the very rudiments of language
in the Kendall School to the post
graduate of Gallaudet College. This
normal class, open without distinction
of sex to advanced students in full
possession of their faculties, completes
years course of deaf and dumb ped.
agogic instruction, radiates through
its foreign students, an influence that
tends toward higher education in India
and which in the fortieth year of his
services to mankind calls President
Gallaudet to Great Britain to aid by
his wise counsel in the iniation of
the first deof mute college on European
soil.
1t must be qualification to every
American that this national institution
has not only subserved the interests of
the deaf and dumb in America, but
that its influences and teaching are
widely felt in foreign countries, both
theoretically and practically.-From

Footprints in the Stone.

Scientifically inclined persons in
southern California are pondering deep.
ly over the discovery, in Elysian Park
here, of a distinct imprint in solid
stone of a shoe worn by a human
being, says the Los Angeles Herald.
This discovery is certain to excite no
little comment, for there appears to be
no authentic record of fossilized
footprint of human being of ordinary
size having been found heretofore.
The peculiar feature of this find is that
the owner of the foot wore shoe of
antique Mexican fashion, with high,
narrow heel, and broad, fiat sole. The
imprint is perfectly clear and looks as
though the owner had unwittingly put
his right foot into soft mud but day
or two ago and left his mark, to be
dried by the sun and preserved for
future generations.
The fossil imprint was discovered by
'ae0rers who wore making deep out
for the new wagon road northwest of
the park. 1t was cut out of solid rock,
four feet or thereabouts below the sur.
face soil, and from point on the hill
side at least70 feet above the bottom
OF the little canyon at the hills base.
The stone is fine grained shale, i'm.
pregnated with lime. AN interesting
fact In connection with the find is this:
Several other excellently preserved
and clearly defined organic remains.
such as ferns, leaves and twigs, have
been found in the same deposit, and.
stranger still, but few days ago the
complete outline of fish was taken
from the same stratum of stone not
many feet distant from this last find,
The fish 8 remains were 90 feet below
the surface.

Small PostOffices Will be Consolidated
With Larger Adjacent Offices.

WASHINGTON, June 29-The work of
consolidating small outlying postoffices
with large adjacent one making a
single postal district with modern ia
cilities, will be pushed vigorously by
this administration in all sections of
the country. The opposition to the
scheme comes, it is said, from residents
who have wrong ideas of the objects of
the department or from postoffice EN-.
ployes whose positions are thereby af-
fected. The results of the consolida-
ton policy so far carried out have been
most gratifying to the Washington au.
thorities and First Assistant Postm aster
General Heath has determined that
consolidation shall be effected wher-
ever possible and feasible. Consolida.
ton abolishes the individual small
postoffices, with their usually crude
service, and substitute stations for
them, reduces the postmast to sub
agents with accompanying salaries and
complicated auditing work an d instead
of the many postoffice substitutes the
large office with branches, all having
free delivery and other advantages ac-
cruing to a postoffice from such priyi-
leges.
The postal officials are confident that
the extension of the movement will re-
suit in a big saving in expenditures,
while furnishing immensely superior
facilities. Several consultations have
been ordered recently and others are
contemplated.
AT Los Angeles, Cal, four or five of
fees nearby have been consolidated
with good effect and similar action has
been taken at Denver recently.
