IRREPRESSIBLE EDITH BEHR.
VIII Not stop C-inE Language Until the Breath
Leaves Her Hody.

ELIZABETH, y. j.. March 5.-The representa-.
tives OF tho Junior representative OF the new
journalism are having hard time in their at
tempt to have Edith Behr play the martyr while
she Is serving the rest OF her term OF three
month5 in the Union County Jail. Yesterday
one Of the representatives Of Mr.. Hearst's paper
spent an hour in the Jail coaching Edith as to
the manner in which she should conduct herself.
Last night Just az Warden Blore was about TO
retire, he heard groans coming from Edith's cell.
He looked In. and M she said she very ill., he
gave her "a simple remedy. In IA couple OF hours
she ceased moaning and went to sleep. This
morning she complained again of high fever,
and when Dr. X. J. Monttort, tho Jail physician,
called he examined her From what he learned
he is satisfied that she was shamming. Her
pulse was normal, and there was no indication
OF any illness. She told him, DR.. Montfort
says, that she WAS under n physicians treatment
when she went TO jail, but he added, there were
no discoverablc evidences that she had been i'll
for considerable time. She WAS somewhat
weak owing to not having eaten any food since
physicinn that she would die before She tasted
the food that was served to her, She demanded
that Dr. Montford order special food for her,
but as she IL not III, the demand WAS ignored.
Five minutes after the physician left her hcr
aiment disappeared and she was chatting with
another prisoner. An hour later the city mis-
sionarics entered the jail and conducted their
weekly services. Edith Ichr began to moan the
moment thCy WcfO admitted 10 the women
corridor. but ceased as soon as they left. The
authorities OF the jail have learned from source
II would be improper 10 disclose that the prs'
oncr says sho has tried to appear i'll 80 that she
would he removed to n hospital. This, 1t Ia said,
Is another of the methods devised by her and
her advisers to thwart tho dispensaton OF jus.
tiCe.
Edith's attempts to obey her instructors are
not altogether successful. She has been advised
To curb her tongue, but yesterday while talking
with her father she used such cpithets against
Judge Mccormick. who sentenced her. that As
sistant Warden Smith was Obliged to stop hcr.
She was told that she must not use such Ian
guage. Her reply was that She would not stop
until the last breath left her body

ELIZABETH. y. j.. March 5.The body Of q
man about twenty years old was found this
morning half hidden under q pile of lumber ut

thar the man had been struck by train while
he was walking on the track and that his body

cumstances developed later chat poin; to q

He Assisted the Trnn-Vnai Raid In the Inter-
r.is OF Rree Trndc In south Arrica.


LONDON. March 5.--The examination OF Cecil
Rhodes. cx.Premicr OF the Cape Colony, was re-
sumed in Westminster Hall to-day by tho Par
liamentory Committee appointed 10 inquire into
the Jameson raid into the Transvaal. There was
a fair attendance OF spectators, but there were
not nearly so many persons present as at tho
previous sittings.
Mr.. Rhodes testified that the Transvaal Gov.
ernment had raised the railway rates for passen-
gers and freight through the special intcrven.
tion of President Kruger, the object being to
divert traffic so that the bulk OF II should be
secured by the Netherlands line. Witness him
self had told President KRUGER that tho result
OF such action would I've that the Cape Colonists.
and even great many OF the Beers, would re-
sent it, and try to turn him out OF office. To
this KrGgcr replied that he had the power and
meant to use il. The opposition to commercial
federation, Mr. Rhodes said came chiefly from
Germany. and, fearing 10 interfere with the Ger
man trade. the Dutch did not oppose the wishes
OF the Germans.
Mr.. Rhodes said that his main object In as
sisting an insurrcction in the Transvaal was TO
secure free trade throughout South Africa and
more tolerant attitude on the part OF the Trans
vaal republic toward the Cape Colony.

In defraying such expenses. from which outlay
there had been no return.
Mr.. Rhodes further testified that he had paid
S5O.OOO toward the fines which had been inn
posed by the rransyail court at Pretoria upon
the Johannesburg Reform Committee prisoners.
The examination of Mr.. Rhodes was then CON
clud"d.
Mr.. Chamberlain and Mr.. Rhodes were mutu.
ally polite during the sitting, but there did not
seem TO I've any feeling OF cordialty between
them. The questions put and the answers given
throughout Mr. RhOles's examination, however.

Judges Of the High Court OF the South African

the law passed by the Nolksraad on Feb %,
placing tho High Court under the jurisdiction OF
