mother.

age age among presidents in the first year
of their inaugurals. William Henry Har-

Wheaton, ILL.,, is dead, and in his death
that town lost most unique citizen.
Horse trader, accumulation of stocks
bonds and mortgages, miser-he left be-
hind him bunch of property worth
something like 100000. For years and
years he had lived in a cottage without
a trace of even ordinary comfort. The
rule of his life was rigid economy. Banks
to him were institutions not to be trust
ed and he kept his possessions at home
Mortgages, bonds and stocks he secreted
in hooks known only to himself, his wife
or the housekeeper.
Two strangers passed a night with Fair
bank II years ago. He told them he was
rich, that he had no faith in banks and
that he kept his money in the house. In
the morning they went away. Two weeks
later they returned masked and accom-
panied by several other men. They de-
manded Fairbanks money. The miser re-
fused to comply or to show them the hid
ing place. Hot irons applied to his bare
feet failed to open his mouth They tried
his wife with the same result. Similar
torture brought out the secret from Dora,
the housekeeper and the villains got away
with $4,000 in government bonds and
about $1,000 in currency. The robbers
were captured and Fairbanks recovered
most OF the money and all of the bonds.

Russians Are Also to BE at the Head
of Chinese Customs and Railways
There Is Consideration i'm ia
pan over the Latest Phase of the
Situation.

London, Jan. 3l-A dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Shanghai says that
secret dispatch has been issued by the
Tsung Ii Yamen to certain high officials,
informing them that Russia warned
China that if Kiao Chau were granted to
Germany, Russia would demand either
Talien Wan or Port Arthur.
According to the same dispatch, it is
asserted at Shanghai on good authority
that China consents to have Russians at
the head of her customs and railways.
At the present moment, says the Daily
Mails correspondent, there are 10000
Russian troops in fallen Wan and Port
Arthur. Russian agents have been sent
to Tien Tsin 1.-THE port of Pekin) and to
Japan to purchase coal and food, 600e
bags Of which have been bought at Tien
Tsin.
Consideration in Japan.
London, Jan 3l.-The Daily Mail this
morning says that it learns from a source
hitherto accurate" that China is in
clined to make the best possible bargain
with Russia, whose diplomacy appears to
have triumphed at Pe<in, England resolv-
ing not to force conflict by further OPP
posing Russia's claim at Port Arthur, and
in the Lilac Tung peninsula.
Japan, says the Daily Mails authority,
has been thrown into state of consterna-
ton Ly the British backdown and has
adopted more friendly attitude toward
Russia.
This statement, however, the Daily Mail
admits, sis incredible and probably a
bluff, with view of forcing England to
take decided steps"

to be alarmed.
