Ancient War weapons aud idols THAI
Are Attracting Much Attention.

Ancient war weapons aud Idols That
Are Attracting Much Attention.
In the University Of Pennsylvania
are curios which are closely allied
with the earlier periods OF the Philip
pine Islands. They consist Of a num-
Der OF specimens Of primitive weapons
and are the only examples Of the kind
In the country. The collection. meagre
as II is, has already attracted consid-
cradle attention, and the many visitors
attest to the deep interest the people
feel in oil that pertains to the new
territory.
The curios are five in number and
we're obtained at the Rastrow (rag
fair) OF Madrid, Spain, and deposited
ia the university museum.
From the saw of the swordfsh sim
gle and two-edged swords are con-
structed. In the case OF the former
the teeth were carefully sharpened on
one side and the larger end cut down
for q handle. 1t presents formidable
appearing implement OF carnage
With the other the two edged sides
were preserved. In the hands Of O
muscular native these crude swords
would make most frightful wounds.
A third weapon of later date is q
short cutlass-shaped affair of iron.
The Philippine Islanders became ex-
pert as iron workers, and the ancient
weapon shows how well the natives Of
old patterned their death. dealing ap-
pliances. The handle of this iron
sword is ornamented with tufts Of
hair and fanciful raised designs, in
token, perhaps, Of the valuable quail
tiles as hair-raising tool.
A fourth weapon resembles an ex-
aggerated meat cleaver of uninviting
appearance, with sharpened edge on
one side and q longpoint on the other,
in solid iron, with a long handle.
A Malay creese is the fifth weapon
in the collection. These weapons were
made by the Visayas, q Malay tribe
who inhabit the islands to the south
Of Luzon. The creeses are short
swords Of the dagger species, with
exquisitely carved handles and grace
full blades.
In the Colonial museum at Madrid
many other odd relics are preserved,
including idols of the natives. The
principal idol was OF the male persua-
sion, the female being q lesser deity.
Cast iron cannon and small swivel
guns Of the early natives, with their
military uniforms, are also displayed
there. Milwaukee Sentinel.

Safety for Miners.

A recently invented device for
miners will no doubt result in lessen
ing the loss of life. II is designed to
render the miners immune from the
deadly effects Of carbonic oxide in the
after damp which follows gas ex-
plosious in mines. It Is a helmet
which will enable the wearer to live
for at least half an hour after such an
explosion takes place. 1t is worn over
the head and face, and is constructed
of O special asbestos tanned leather,
or cloth, rendering it proof against
fire, heat, steam, boiling water and all
poisonous fluids. II comes down close
over the shoulders, and is held firmly
in place by means OF two straps pass
ing under the arms. At the back Of
the helmet is metal reservoir, from
which the wearer is supplied with
fresh air at the natural dir pressure
aud twenty degrees cooler than the
outside atmospheric. The tank has
capacity Of 100 pounds prsssuye OF
compressed air, and il always ready
for service, the same pressure Of pure
Dir being retained for months. The
amount Of air in store eau be seen on
the gauge attached to the reservoir,
which can be quickly changed by an
air pump. A lever on the top OF the
reservoir forces the air through the
supply tubes to point inside and di-
recty in front Of the mouth and nos.
trils. The supply can be adjusted to
the comfort Of the wearer. The neck
gear has IN outlet for the foul air, and
the two lookouts are constructed OF
double plates Of clear mica, with re-
volving cleaners and protected by four
cross wires. The side or ear plates
have special diaphragms, or sounding
discs, which give perfectly distinct
hearing. Philadelphia Record.

A MOST REMARKABLE WILL
PRESBYTERIAN TRUSTEE DE-
NOUNCES ALL CREEDS.
After Which He Wants His Body
Cremated and Ashes Left There
Member of Almost Everything.

New York, Jan. 4.-One of the most
of the surrogate is that of Henry More
house Tabor, offered for probate today.
In spite of the fact that Mr.. Tabor was
president and treasurer of the board of
trustees Of the First Presbyterian
church, in the opening clauses of his
will he denounces all religion as sham
and as having it's origin in superstition.
He requests that no services be held
over his body. and that it be cremated.
Mr. Tabor died on Christmas eve, at
the age of 10 years. Two children, Sid
ney Richmond Tabor and Mary Tabor,
survive TIE testator. and to them the
entire estate. valued at over S1.0OO.OOO,
is given absolutely.
The will is in the hands of the tesla
tor. and contains the following:
Believing that all religions, includ-
ing Christianity, are SuperstitionS; that
the basic doctrine of the Christian re-
ligion-"The fall of mans utterly
and absolutely false and that it's oppo
site-the rise of man from the lower
orders-is a scientific fact-that beliefs
in (so-caHed) miracles are hallucina-
tiOns OF the brain, and never had the
slightest existence in fact; that the
chief characteristics of what is called
the word of God are injustice, cruelty,
untruthfulness and obscenity: that the
effect of orthodox Christian teaching is
to encourage ignorance, selfishness,
narrOw-m indedness, acrimoniousneSS
intolerance, wrong, and mental slavery;
that Christianity so called, is not the re-
ligion of Christ; that it supplantS ethi-
cal culture and trt, morality with
meaningless theology aid unbelievable
dogmas; that it puts an unknown (and
probably unknowable) imaginary
being in the place of nature:
that it gives a name and per-
sonality to evil-an equally unknown
and imaginary being: that it so works
upon the credulity of its adhererts as
to invite in them a fear of Chat most
horrible of doctrines) eternal punish
ment. l say, believing all those, and

request that over my remains there be
no religious services of any kind, ma
ture or description whatever
Il also request that my body be Gre
mated at Fresh Pond, or some other
crematory, and that all my ashes be
left there

TWO SMOTHERED IN A MINE
FIRE IN ONE OF THE ANACONDA
PROPERTIES.
Conflicting Reports of the Origin of
the Blaze-One Miner Fell 400
Feet, Another $50.

Butte, Mont, Jan. 4.-Fire on the 700
foot level of the Never Sweat mine of
the Anaconda company this afternoon
resulted in the death by suffocation OF
Michael c. Flaherty and John F. Sui
Ivan, pipemen in the Anaconda mine
proper and the narrow escape of three
others employed in the Never Sweat
The stories told of the occurrence are
somewhat conflicting, due IN part TO the
fact that two of the men who were for
tunate enough to escape were overcome
by the smoke and have no distinct rec
objection of what took place, while the
other man whose life was saved was
not near enough to the scene when the
victims were overcome to know much
about it.
According to reports of the origin Of
the fire, it was the outcome OF some
fire that ragged in the St. Lawrence
mine many years ago, and is said to
have been smouldering ever since. This,
however, the officers of the company
strenuously deny. They claim that the
fire was started by some one carelessly
leaving a candle sticking in the tim
bers where the fire broke out.
Flaherty and Sullivan are supposed
to have smelt the smoke and gas while
in the Anaconda. workings, which con-
meet with those of the Never Sweat,
and gone to investigate the cause. They
were evidently driven back and were
overcome while trying to- escape. Fla
herty fell $50 feet from the scene of the
fire and Sullivan 400 feet from it.
Two other men who were working in
a cross-cut on the same level, were
overcome but were rescued in time af

John d. Sullivan. The latter was him

Kansas City, Jan. AFTER about
three months of inactivity, Kansas
City's train robbers scored another
brilliant achievement tonight. This
time the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf
road is the sufferer. The company S
Port Arthur express, which left the
depot here at GAO tonight, was robbed
before it had passed beyond the city
limits. Two men, whom no one but
the express messenger seems TO nave
seen, climbed into the express car as
the train left the depot. They over
powered the messenger, bound and
gagged him, and rifled the car before
the train came to a stop. When the
train slowed up at a railroad crossing
known as Air Line Junction, they
climbed out of the car and disappeared
Nothing was known of the robbery
until a negro train porter entered the
car and found the helpless express
messenger.
After the train had been stopped and
others of the crew had come forward
and released the express messenger, 1T
was found that the robbers had rified
the local safe, taking from it every
thing of value. They had made no eff
fort to disturb the through safe, which
is protected by a time lock. From Air
Line Junction a Geographic report of
the robbery was sent to this city, and
the train proceeded south. The Wells,
Fargo company controls the express
business on the Pittsburg & Gulf read.
At the express company's office here
G. r. Teas, the local manager, stated
that there was not much of value in
the local safe, and that 5000 or $500
would probably cover the company's
loss. In police circles, however, the
impression prevails that the robbers Sc
cured several thousand dollars in
money and jewelry
The report received at the express
comoany's office here states that the
robbers entered the express car as the
train was pulling out of the yards, hav
ing forced the rear door with a jimmy.
E. n. Hyde of Kansas City was the ex-
press messenger. Upon turning from
his work he looked into the barrel of a
siX-shooter. The messenger offered no
resistance, though he was well armed,
and after the robbers had bound him
one Of them stood guard over him while
the other rifled the safe.
sss4 he febbeRs are described as smooth
faced young men, and the fact that
both were extremely nervous while in
the express car is taken as evidence
that they are new recruits to Kansas
City's force of train robbers.
AT O'Clock a special train was sent
to the scene of the robbery with a
force OF policemen and marshals, and
these men are now securing the coun-
try along the river banks in search of
the robbers.
Though tonight's robbery is the first
that has occurred on the P. & G.. line,
it IS the sixth crime of the kind per-
petrated in Kansas City within Is
months.
There have been several arrests of
alleged train robbers during this time,
but there has not been a single cOnvic-
ton.

continued to escape. Many were re-

San Francisco, Jan. An the United
States circuit court, before United
States Judge Morrow and United
States Judge DeHaven, sitting today,
Attorney Eugene Deuprey succeeded in
obtaining leave to present and file
petition for a writ of habeas corpus
| on behalf of W. II. T. Durrant, con-
fined at San Quentin. When the petit
ton had been heard and Attorney Deu-
prey had concluded his argument,
Judge Morrow, in a low voice, an
nounced that the matter would be ia
ken under Amusement by the court,
and that a decision would be rendered
at IL o'clock tomorrow morning.
REHEARSED THE DEATH SCENE.
San Quentin, Cal, Jan. 4-Theodore
Durrant has rehearsed the scene of his
own death: At his request, made alb
Soiutely without emotion, he has been
told every incident that will mark the
minutes of his last hours of life.
From the moment that he aWakenS

Hale gives the signal to spring the gall

what is expected of him.
book and several papers on relig-
ious subjects were received at the
prison yesterday for Durrant. They
were offerings from a woman who now
resides in Toronto. She was a resi-
dent of San Francisco three years ago,
and has displayed an interest in Dur
rants affairs since his arrest for the
murder of Blanche Lamont.
Deputy Warden Edgar made a thor
ough inspection of the book and pa
,pers, and then permitted EuFrant to
have them.
The authorities suspect that some of
Durrant's legal friends may attempt
some play at the very moment of the
execution.
Durrant may invite five of the $50
people who will be present, but Warden
Hale Will revise the list. 1t is unlikely
that any of his attorneys will be seen
beside the gallows.
HIS LAST REQUESTS.
The condemned man has made the
following requests concerning his ex-
ecution:
First-That the rope used to hang
him shall be destroyed Immediately af-
ter his death, so that no person can
say that he holds a piece OF it as a me-
mento.
Second-That none of the spectators
shall be allowed to gaze upon his fea-
lures after he is executed.
Third-That no autopsy shall be held
after death, and that no physician be
allowed to examine his body
Fourth-That after ne is pronounced
dead his remains shall be delivered to
his parents as soon as possible.
BLANTHER CONFESSION.
San Francisco, Jan. 4-The father Of
Theodore Durrant has received from
Meridian, Tex, document which pur-
ports to be the original alleged confess
sion OF Joseph E. Blanther to the muir
ders of Blanche Lamont and Minnie
Williams. 1t Will be used in the final
efforts to secure d stay of execution.
