MURDERER BUrIFR.
Having Coed Time la San Fran.
Ci.co's city Prison

oi.co's city Prison
Additional details of the capture
of Frank Butler, the Australian
murderer, are at hand. When ar
rested he seemed stolidly indiffer-
ent and insisted that he was Lee
Weller. Among his effects were
found many Of the private papers
of the late Captain Lee Wei.
Ter, also song books and
other personal property of one
Frank Harwood and of Captain
Weller. The significance of the
possession of Harwood's property
lies in the fact that Harwood is
mining expert in Australia, whose
goods are supposed to have been
stolen by the prisoner. Harwood
made that charge months ago.
One of the most important in
cidents of the prisoners clothing
was the discovery of ten gains Of
sulphate of strychnine secreted in
his hatband. He expressed sur
prise that it had been found and
professed that he knew not wheoce
it came nor what it was. Later
he said he had never intended to
end his own life.
Captain Fraser knew that Butler
was the man suspected of MUIR
dering many men in the Austria
liam bush, but as Butler was a
good worker and an obedient man
he was allowed to work without
molestation. The captain thought
he had no authority to place the
man in irons.
After his arrest the prisoner was
hurriedly driven TO the new City
Hall, and his effects were sche-
du!ed, copy being kept by Cap
tain Lees and one by the Aus
tralian detectives. The navigation
papers of Captain Lee Weller
were conspicuous among the more
valuable pieces of evidence. 1t
should be rem embered that the
bodies of Captain Lee Weller and
other victims of the murderer
were not discovered until after
the Swanhilda sailed, so Buffers
ignorance of what the world knows
did much to encourage him in
his bold claim that he is Lee
Weller.
Butler was turned over to the
United States Marshal about IL
a. M, and thousands of people
were allowed to see him. At 2
p. m. lie was examined for identi-
fication before Commissioner Hea-
cock and the hearing of evidence
of probable cause on the petition
for extradition will come before
the same tribunal at 1870 a. IN.
Monday next.
The British Consul appeared
bv attorney and made the formal
demand for extradition, resisting
the application of Leonard, Stone
& Bidwell, who appeared for But
Ter, for delay of ten days.
In respon'e to the only ques-
ton asked by the court, "What
is your true name" the prisoner
replied, in a clear tone, Lee
Weller is nv name" He seemed
cool and deliberate.
Among Buffers effects were
private papers, books, photo
graphs and ,jewelry belonging to
Captain Weller; mining experts
certificates in the name of Frank
Harwood, another supposed vic.
tim; also a blue serge coat and
vest which Detective Roche says
he can swear belonged to the
murdered Preston. These are
only few of the damaging evil
dences of crime found in Buffers
possession, but are ubundantly

A Three Eyed Man.

A funny story is current at Paris con-
cerning the expedition of Lieutenant
Baron Hourst to the Niger river. 1t
seems that he took along with him a
number of colored pictures of Presi-
dent Faure. The dusky Babbaras Ia
dies had never seen an eyeglass before,
and their enthusiasm for the three
eyed sultan of the French knew no
bounds. This led an unscrupulous
Partisan servant of the baron to con-
ceive the bright idea of wearing an
eyeglass himself, in order to show the
French SULTAN in life. The result was
that all the native ladies fOrsook their
lawful lords and followed him. There
was a lively demonstration on the part
OF the jealous chiefs. The photographs
and the deputy sultan had to be sup
pressed in hot haste. and the entire ex-
peditiOn beat speedy retreat to the
sea coast. its Objece thus frustrated by
the means of Il mOnocle.

The news comes from Attica. Ind.
of the destruction, by fire, of the big
laboratory and office building Of the
Sterling Remedy company, makers OF
Cascarets Candy Cathartic and No-To-

habit cure. The preparations made by
this big corporation are known
throughout the world.
The fire broke out in one OF the
packing rooms on the third floor during
the noon hour, and had made consider
able headway before it was discovered.
The Sterling Remedy company is the
principal industry of the beautiful lit
tie city of Attica, employing several
hundred people, besides being affiliated
with the interests at the Indiana Min
eral Springs. the famous Magno-Mud
Cure. The entire population was
worked up to frenzy OF excitement.

man at the scene. He quietly walked

ture, charred and delapidated as it
was, taken there. Several shipments
were made the same evening from
goods saved. and on Friday morning,
all departments were at work In var
ious rooms about town. while gang
OF men were cleaning away the wreck

The actual damage amounts to many
thousands of dollars: the loss due to
interruption of business and confusion

Nothing can stop the success of Cas-

LEGEND OF THE MAGi.

The legend of the Wise Men Of the
East. or as they are styled in the orr
ginal Greek. "the three Magi." became.
under monkish influence, one of the
most popular during the mide.e ages.
The Scripture nowhere informs US that
these individuals were kings. or their
number restricted to three. The legend

names and minute account Of their

king of Nubie. the smallest man OF the
triad. and he gave the Savior q gift
Of gold. Balthazar was king of Chal-
dea. and he offered incense: he was .
man Of ordinary stature. But the third,
Jasper, king of Tarshish. was of high
stature, "a black Ethiope." and he gave
myrrh. All came with many rich or
