On the application of Mrs. Mary Mellet to
require the Borough of Shenandoah to show
cause why the judgment entered against
her, as one of the sureties ON NJ. j. Scanlan's
tax bond, should not be opened arguments
were made this afternoon before Judge
Bechtel. Borough Solicitor Burke and John
F. Whalen, Esq, appeared for the Borough,
and against the application, and Hon. James
B. Reilly and James J. Moran, ESQ. appeared
in behalf of Mrs, Mellet.
Mr.. Reilly opened the argument, saying
that Mrs. Mellet emphatically denied having
signed the bonds in question, and that the
Justices OF the Peace who purported TO have
attested Mrs Mellet's signature had never
appeared in her presence, Mr.. Reilly con-
tended that the only evidence that could be
accepted in cases of this character was of the
kind given by Mrs. Melet, in which she
makes an emphatic denial that she
ever signed the bonds Mr.. Reilly also con-
tended that Mrs. Melet was sustained by the
testimony of Matt GiblOn whose name APP
pears on one of the bonds as witness. Mr.
Reilly laid great stress upon Mr.. Gibbons
testimony, especially where the witness said
he did not remember anything about the
matter, and swore that he did not see her
sign her name or make her mark. In review
ing the testimony, Mr.. Reilly contended that
the evidence of the Justices of the Peace was
unusual, in that they had no recollection of

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 2s.-The trial of
John Henry Collins for the murder of
his father, j. S. Collins, was commenced
in the district court to-day. The trial
promises to be one of the most sensa-
tional ever tried in this city.
J. S. Collins, prominent citizen and

asleep in his own home on May 13, at five
o'clock in the morning. The shooting
was done with Mr.. Collins own gun,
which was secured from closet ad join
ing his bedroom.
John H. Collins, son of the murdered
man, was attending the Kansas univer-
sity at the time of the murder, and was
deeply in love with a young lady of Law
renee, Kan. To secure his share of the
insurance on his fathers life, some.
$4,000 or $1,000, to enable him to prose

PRESENT TO A COLLEGE.
struments Given to University of
Michigan by Mr. Stearns.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Nov. 2s.-Mr. Fred
erick Stearns, Detroit millionaire, has
presented to the University of Michi-
gan his unique collection of musical
instruments, numbering nearly 1000
pieces. Mr.. Stearns has been collecting
for Is years and has spent upon his
treasures something over $4,000. The
present value of the collection, how
ever, is many times that sum. The
Importance of the collection for the
university lies in the fact that it ex-
hibits, with hardly a break, the evo-
luton of the three great types of mu-
sical instruments from prehistoric
times down to the present. In this re-
spect it can rival the most famous col
lections of this country and of Europe
The collection will be placed in a room
fitted up for it in the museum build
ing, and a complete catalogue, lavishly
illustrated, prepared by Mr.. Stearns,
will soon be published by the uni

EUROPE DISPLEASED-
Will Bitterly Resent American Acqui-
SitiOn of the Philippines.


Sition of the Philippines.
Paris, Nov. 2S.-There is no denying
that the whole European continent will
bitterly resent American acquisition of
the Philippines. This sentiment is not
confined to diplomats, but especially
here in Paris it is the opinion constant
ly heard in the highest French society.
It is known that high official Of the
French foreign office said Sunday:
"The appearance of the Americans in
eastern waters is a disturbing factor
to the whole of Europe. Americans,
as is we'll known, lack diplomatic man
ners and will surely bring constant
trouble to all of u.s.
AS to the general sentiment, Mr.
William T. Stead, who has just returned
here from a tour of France, Belgium,
Germany, Russia, Austria, Turkey and
Italy, and who has seen the highest
politicians in each country and in some
cases their rulers, said:
1.-THE immense majority of Europeans
are Of course absolutely ignorant Of what
has happened. Intent upon their daily toll,
they neither know nor care what occurs
in the other hemisphere. But Europeans
who read the newspapers are able to form
what may be called "publc opinion in the
old world. They are practically unani-
nous on the matter. Outside of England
I have not met single non-American who
was not opposed to the expansion of Amer
lea. Nor through my whole tour Of Eu-
| rope have met European who did not
receive the protestations of the genuine
sincerity with which the Americans en-
tered upon the war with more OR less mock
incredulity."
Mr.. Stead reports that the bitterest
hostility of all was found at the vati-
can.

The robberies OF the Rainier avenue
street car and Of the saloon at George
town were probably committed by the
same gang. The victims may consider
themselves very lucky that nobody was
hurt, because the robbers evidently
belong to desperate gang and would
have no scruples, as they showed in
one case. in killing anybody who re-
sisted or made an attempt to give an
alarm.
With one or two exceptions the
amount of money captured has been
very small and the scene OF operations
very remote, but with immunity they
game The best advice that can be given
those who should unhappIly fall into the
clutches Of this gang Is not to resist,
but TO make good use Of their'eyes. so
that they might identify at least one
of the robbers. AS the holdups are re-
peated the risk OF Identification will be-
come greater and * Is not improbable
that the gang. after one or two more
robberies. will take themselves off. The
police will no doubt do their utmost 10
capture the thieves. but operating as
they do. II is very difficult 10 get upon
their track, and without some clew by
which TO recognize them. it may be
long before they are traced to their
haunts when not engaged in robbery
In tbs present condition Of the city
IL will be wise for citizens to carry no
more money with them than they need
for immediate use. The best place 10
have money is in the bank. The bad
luck OF the woman who carried her
purse in her hands and the fate Of sew
eraI little boards which have been stolen
from bureau drawers and from under
pillows affords sufficient proof that the
usual hiding places are not safe from
the sneak thieves and experienced pick
pockets who are Fostering Seattle.
