The Ama1ons of Audenreid.

Gen. Goblin was notified at Hazleton,
Pa, Friday of more trouble at Audenreid.
The women were again determined TO pre-
vent the miners from working and when
100 men attempted TO work a Monarch
washery the Amazons armed with sticks
and stones prevented them. At the Star
washery 100 men are at work, but the
women determined to drive them out.
Gen. Goblin sent squad of troops TO
Audenreid, which arrived after all vio-
lence had ceased. The women followed
the troops about the streets, hooting and
cursing them. The storekeeper at Auden-
reid reports the sale of his entire stock of
revolvers within the last few days.

The anecdotes of Queen Victoria induced
by the Jubilee have been many. None of
them is more fascinating than a true one
that happened many years ago in which
the queen was outwitted by one of her
youthful grandsOns. The boy wrote 10 his
royal grandparent asking for the present
of sovereign. This amount the queen
considered too much for a child to have,
and instead of sending the money she
wrote a letter, in her own handwriting,
warning the boy against the evils of ex-
travagance. She received the following
courteous reply:
Dearest Grandmamma: / received your
letter, and hope you will not think l was
disappointed because you could not send
me any money. II was very kind of you
10 give me good advice. l sold your letter
for four pounds ten shillings."

Sir Costly Things.

The biggest price for a painting was
that paid for Meissonier's "1S14." NJ.
blanchard gave $4,000 for it. The
most costly building of modern times is
that of the New York State Capitol at AL
bany, $40, 100000 having been spent on it.
In 1892 j. Malcolm Forbes paid Senator
Stanford $4,000 for the horse Arion,
making it the most valuable equine the
world has ever known. The most valuable
book in the world is a Hebrew Bible, now
in the Vatican. In 1912 Pope Julius ii.
refused TO sell it for its weight in gold.

The "ImpeIiar' diamond is considered the
finest stone of its kind in the world. The
NiZam of Hyderabad offered $2,I5O, 600.
the largest price ever known, for this dia-
mond. The costliest meal ever served was
a supper given by Elius Verus TO dozen
guests. Ii is said to have cost S242, 800.

A despatch received at Copenhagen Sept.
20, from Hammerfest, the nOrthernmost
town OF Europe. in Norway, says the
whaling ship Falken has brought there
the third pigeon despatch from Prof. An
dree, the aeronaut, who left the island OF
Tromsoe in a balloon on July II last in
an attempt to cross the polar regions.
The message brought by the Falken
reads July -, 1l.30 e.. M.-Latitude
S2.2 north; longitude 30 east. Good
voyage eastward. All we'll Z. b. Bald
win, the meteorOlogisi Of the Peary expe-
dition Of 1884, says the message indicates
that Andree had safely crossed the $50
miles of open water which extends from
the north coast of Spitzbergen 10 the be
ginning of the ice pack. He also says
that it is significant to note that Andree
was going eastward which was the direc-
ton he intended 10 take, and that this fact
helps to verify his reported safe reappear-
ence in Arctic Russia. THE first three
days were looked upon as being the most
perilous and important of the entire jour
ney,' he says. "Andree's ability success
fully TO withstand the initial dfiicultie,
augurs better than the lay mind would
imagine for the elimination of his daring
project"

RevoIutionists Successful In Guatemala.


The city of Quezaltenango, in Guate-
mala, has been captured by the rebels.
For "a hours the garrison held the city by
hard fighting, but the rebel forces were SO
much greater that they were forced TO sur
render. Immediately following the sur
render the main body of the garrison joined
the insurgent ranks, thereby adding ma
terially 10 the strength of Prospero Mo
rales' movement against President Barrios
The rebels are now moving on Champerico,
and there will probably be hard fighting
there, as the place is garrisoned by strong
forces. The government also holds the
towns Of Retalhuleu and San Felipe despite
rebel attacks there. The loss Of Quezal-
tenango is a great blow 10 the government
and gives Morales undsputed control in
that portion of Guatemala. 1t marks, too,
it is believed, the beginning Of the end of
President Bsrrios' supremacy. There
seems little doubt now that new govern
ment will be established, with Morales at
its head.
Gen. Domingo Vasquez, formerly presi-
dent Of Honduras, has been expelled from
Guatemala by request of President Bonilla,
who asserts that Gen. Vasquez is Matching
a revolution TO overthrow the government
of Honduras, making the Guatemalan
frontier the base of his operations. Guate-
malan troops have dispersed Vasquez' 5
force of 500 men.

ing one with a Gas Pipe and shooting
Another.
VIM. Clarke, second degree murderer
from Cleveland; William f. Bolts, ha-
bitusl criminal from Toledo, and William
Pulley, Federal prisoner from Texas for
highway robbery, made an attempt Thurs
day 10 force their way out of the Ohio
penitentary at Columbus. The three
worked in the broom shop. Clarke felled
to the floor Guard A. j. Duncan with a
piece Of gas pipe, fracturing his skull.
Clarke secured Duncan's revolver aud held
up the only other guard in the room, while
his confederate, Bolts. seized his revolver.
The third convict, Pulley, spiiced two
short ladders together and 81 rod the lad
der against the wall. The ladder was too
short and they were discovered by the
guard on the wall. Pulley then weak
ened, but the other two ran 10 the double
entrance to the front building, raped on
the door, and unsuspectingly were admit
ted TO what is known as the "bull pen"
Here, leveling their revolyers at Capt. NJ
b. Saxby and Guard b. +. James, they
started to run through the guardroom.
Bolts fired once, but missed his aim and
was oyerpowered. Clark shot Guard
James twice, shot again al a crowd of Wis
itors in the reception room, leaped from
the front terrace, fired a fourth time at the
guard in the sentry box, and was captured
five minutes later while swimming across
the Scioto river. Guard James Was wound
ed slightly in the chin and breast. Guard
A. J. Duncan sustained a compound frac-
ture Of the skull and will die.

Have Used the Guelph Fund---It Be

Have Used the Guelph Fund---It Be
ionged 20 the et-King Of Hanover.
All Germany is talking about the story
Of the steal Of the Guelph fund Of SIS, 0O0-
900 by Emperor William. The Guelph
fund constitutes the private fortune Of the
former reigning family of Hanover. the
head Of which is the present Duke of Cum
berland, and which is branch Of the royal
house of England. At the time when
Hanover was seized by Prussia in 1866, it
was expressly stipulated that the famous
private fortune Of the blind king Of Han
over should be restored TO him, the crown
property remaining in the hands Of Prus-
STA. At the last minute, however, Prince
Bismarck charged the blind ex-klng with
intriguing TO recover his throne, and de-
clared that the fortune would be held in
trust by the Prussian crown for the ex-
king and his heir until either the one or
the other should acknowledge the legality
Of the annexation Of Hanover by Prussia.
When Bismarck was in power he used the
interest Of this fund TO subsidize news
papers.
Two years ago German and foreign news
papers were full Of stories Of the financial
embarrassments of the kaiser, of the woes
of Berlin tradesmen who were unable TO
get their bills paid, and Of undignifed
compromises effected by the treasurer Of
the imperial household Then all of a sud
den, however, the emperor branched off
into an extraordinary fever of extrava-
gance, and the festivities Of the court Of
Berlin during the following winter were
on a scale Of prodigal magnifcence and
luxury without precedent or parallel in
Europe; indeed, it was estimated at the
time that the expenses of the royal house
hold during that winter season could not
have been under several hundred thousand
dollars day. The opinion was freely ex-
pressed at the time that the emperor had
"struck oil'' somewhere. The oil well
now turns out to have been not the reve-
nues, but the capital of the Guelph fund,
which it is claimed has almost entirely dis
appeared. II seems that this has been
known for some time by certain royal per-
sonages, among others by the Prince OF
Wales. and accounts for the bitter animos-
ity displayed by the latter against his i'm
perial nephew

AssaiIant Of Diau Lynched.

Arroyo, who assaulted President Diaz of
Mexico Thursday, was lynched that night
by mob of common people. Twenty
lynchers were arrested. Crowds thronged
the streets and cheered for Diaz and the
republic. The mob proceeded with the
lynching in the most approved American
style. 1t apparently had no organization,
yet was directed in some mysterious way.
The mob broke into the Jail, forcing the
doors with huge timbers handled by hun
dred men, over-powered the guards and
surrounded them, while detail ran down
the corridors and dragged out the trem-
bling Arroyo.

Herbert =. Wilson Used a Check That
Complications with the windsor Ma
chine Company.
Herbert 5. Wilson was arrested in Brook
lyn Tuesday and will be taken from there
to Windsor by Sheriff Kiniry. Wilson
came to Windsor in 1895 as superintendent
Of the Windsor Machine company, a stock
concern. He ran things TO suit himself
and the profits were disappointing TO the
stockholders. Wilson arranged to take the
plant off their hands, representing that
partner, II. II. Wheeler, would furnish
plenty of money. Complications soon
arose and Wheeler retired, Wilson taking
the business in bis own name. As sole
proprietor he made a failure, and when
the crash came everything was in chaotic
shape. J. r. Brewster and Frank Hale
were appointed assignees. While the bus
mess was in the hands of the assignees
check came for a large amount. Wilson
received the check, and instead of turning
it over to the assignees he pocketed it and
left town. 1t is claimed by some people
in Windsor that Wilson carried away a
large sum Of money. He was owing his
employees $1,000 and the merchants Of that
town suffered a heavy loss. An indict-
ment was brought against Wilson for using
the check which should have been turned
over 10 the assignees. When arrested be
was employed as foreman for the United
States Projectile company In Brooklyn.
Wilson said he was making $1,000
week in Windsor, but as his business was
mostly done on paper he could not secure
| funds to keep the concern going. He de-
MES any other criminal offence aside from
the taking Of the check, which he did, he
! says, only to keep his wife and children
| from starving.
Messrs Brewster and Hale, however.
claim that this check episode is only one
Of the crooked transactions Wilson was
| guilty Of during his Windsor career. These
matters will be sifted, however, when Will
sons case comes to trial in the Windsor
| county court. Wilson has a wife and sew
eral small children. He is a well-known
mechanical engineer and has travelled ex-
tens .yely.

alIghted and a team was engaged to take

then assembled alone and before be had
reached a very high altitude a strong up

clouds were so thick around the balloon
that Mr. Allen could see nothing and

NEWS IN BRIEF.
The KlOndike Gold.

IL Has Cost More than Its VAlue---Not
100 Have Made Fortunes and 5000
Are In the Yukon Country.
The Klondike fever is not at such high
heat on the Pacific coast since the Excel
sior arrived last week and it became Ger
tain that she did not bring more than
100000 in dust. All the talk had been
that the Excelsior would bring from 81
100000 to 100000 II was said that
three or four more boats had come down
the Yukon with at least 81 600, 900 each,
and that the Excelsior had the bulk Of all
the gold from Dawson this season. The
small amount she brought has made the
people who are wild over the Klondike
stop and think little. They have finally
got down to reasoning about the matter,
and so are lost as far as getting them into
Alaska is concerned. In plain figures, it
is shown that the gold Of the Klondike has
cost three times its value. Not hundred
people have made anything like fortunes,
and there are 5000 people in the country.
Many Of these are getting fair living, and
many of them are living on the capital
they took in with them.
The men who came on the Excelsior are
the best crowd that has yet come out. 1t
is composed of those who have been in
Alaska from five to Is years, and every
man of them warns the "tenderfoot" 10
stay away from the place. They say the
game is not worth the candle, and they
ought to know. They are totally different
from those coming out in July, who start
ed the Klondike craze. The latter were
mainly lucky "tenderfeet" who were eager
TO get back and tell about their wealth.
These old miners don't care to divulge the
amount of their win 7ings, and every word
they say beyond the fact that "gold is
there" is a black eve for Alaska.

Negro Postmaster shot.

j. Ii. Loftin, negro postmaster at Ho-
gansville, Ga, was shot three times one
night last week. He had just closed the
Office and was on his way home when sew
eral men stepped from behind some trees
and began firing at him. Loftin ran a few
steps and fell TO the ground. He was
found a short time later by some friends
and taken home. He will probably re-
cover He was appointed postmaster three
months ago against the protest of every
white patron of the Office. The appoint
ment created great indignation, and an at
tempt was made TO have the letters sent TO
the old postmaster, but this failed. The
opponents of Loftin next attempted TO re-
ceive their mail from an adjoining office,
sending a messenger there for it, but work
Of this kind was declared illegal, as the
government has the sole right to maintain
a mail route. Loftin is an influential ne
gro and was a delegate TO the St. Louis
convention. There is bitter feeling
throughout Georgia against all negroes
who hold federal offices.
Six letters produced in evidence in the
preliminary hearing of zee Gee, the Chi
nese interpreter, employed by Collector j.
G. Saunders at Port Townsend, Wash,
in the examination of Chinese "mer-
chants" tended TO show the existence of a
big conspiracy for the unlawful entry of
Chinese into this country. The ring was
apparently backed by unlimited mon
ey. The price paid to Gee for the landing
of the men ranged from $50 to 5000 each
The authorities seem TO have evidence
showing that nearly 1000 Chinese have
been fraudulently landed. The case for
the government consists principa lily of the
letters introduced in evidence written either
by Yee Gee or to him by his San Francisco
correspondents.
