Tragic Fate of a Party of

ENGLAND MAKES ANOTHER GRAB
Every Island She Finds the Range
Is 'fSlick Ear and Gets
Her Brand

VANCOUVER, B. c., Aug. 2.-The
steamship Miowera, from Sydney, brings
information that news of still another
massacre has been received at Sydney.
Not long ago a number of Australia g
army of unemployed were attracted by
stories of fabulous gold panning at
Papua and other interior New Guinea
points. Their ranks have been terribly
thinned by murder, starvation and fatal
swamp fevers. To make matters worse,
every native who helped a white was
marked for the tomahawk.
The remnant of these white pioneers
went to Vanapa for final effort to
make their fortunes. Their stores gave
out and for months they lived on
"damper" and tea. Natives in the vi
cinity claimed to be ill-treated by the
government in the way of scant stores,
and decided to teach the government a
lesson by killing all the whites within
reach. The whites were raided at
night and put to death with tomahawks,
being easy victims. After long suffering
they were weak and emaciated, and
could not defend themselves.
Many nassacres had occurred in the
same place previously, but the govern
ment has never attempted to punish
the murderers.
Later news confirms the massacre
which occurred eighty-five miles from
Port Moresby. The entire settlement
of natives and whites had their heads
split open by large band of savages.
The government has sent a large body
of military police to surround the
natives and shoot if necessary. Whole
sale arrests will be made. The natives
will be brought back manac'ed in the
hold of a steamer chartered for the pur-
pose.

GOT RID OF THE CATS.

Clever Plan of a New York Landlord
to Rid His Premises of Sercnaders.
The inhabitants of a row of fine fat
houses in the Harlem district of New
York have for a long time past been
greatly annoyed by nocturnal cat Choir
uses, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. In
desperation plans of poisoning and
shooting were discussed, but the owner
of the fats, who resided in one of them,
and was a law-abiding man, deter
mined to adopt a better plan, and have
some sport at the same time. Placing
two traps on either side of the alley
ways adjoining his flats, he attached
wires to the traps, making wire con-
nection with an electric bell in his
cellar. When frisky feline took the
bait, he came quickly on the scene
and put the quarry into bag. Cap
tives were turned over to the S. P. C.
A. and taken away in patches of from
three to ten every night. When about
70 of the unwelcome serenaders had
been transferred in this way, the strain
on the society proved too severe, and
the landlord was told to do his own
execution in future.
His first idea was to electrocute the
animals, but he found that the appara-
tus necessary was somewhat too elab-
crate. Finally he took the simpler way
of inserting in a barrel a tube con-
nected with gas jet. The. cat was
dropped in, the lid was shut down,
the gas was turned on and the driver
of the dead wagon was told by tele-
phone to call.
The neighborhood is now cleared of
cats, and the slumbers of the sleepers
in the fats are no longer disturbed.

THE MOST POPULAR WOMAN.

Dolly MadisOn's Frank, Cordial Man
ner, md Ingenious Demeanor.
No woman is more closely or fondly
Dolly Madison, writes Clifford How
ard of ''When Dolly Madison saved the
Declaration of independence" in La
dies Home Journal. During the eight
years that her husband occupied the
position of secretary of state under
Jefferson's administration she was al
most as frequently called upon to do
the honors at the receptions and levees
at the presidents house as in her own
home, where she entertained in a de-
Hghtful and sumptuous manner. She
was, therefore, fully prepared for the
duties that devolved upon her as mis-
tress of the white house upon the cleo
ton of Mr.. Madison to the presidency.
In the graceful and skillful perform
ance of her delicate task she gained
the admiration of everyone, and added
to the popularity she had already won
both for herself and her husband.
Through the potent influence of her
personal charms, to which were added
a frank and cordial manner, a sweet,
ingenious demeanor, and the happy
faculty of adapting herself to the views
of those about her, she readily became
a. general favorite. Before her reign
at the white house was concluded she

1t Contains Coal Oil in Unlimited

SAN Francisco, Aug. 2.-While the
whole world is excited over the gold dis
coveries in the North, sight has been
lost of another discovery that promises
to be of great value in the development
of that section.
Some months ago a lake of almost
pure petroleum was discovered and
samples sent to Seattle for analysis.
The assayer's report on these has just
been made public, and the find is re-
ported to be of incalculable richness. A
company has been formed in Seattle to
handle the product, and travellers from
there say that the company intends to
put it on the Alaskan market at once.
The lake is of unknown depth, sew
eral miles wide and five or six in length,
and the quality of the petroleum is said
to be of the finest. 1t is fed by springs
and the hills surrounding it are said to
be rich in coal and asphalt. The lake is
only two miles from the ocean, SO that
the difficulties of transportation are re-
duced to minimum. It IS the inten-
ton of the owners of the lake to take
its product right into the mining camps
of Northern Alaska wherever the water
ways will permit.
