ADMIRAL HOWELL AT PRETORIA.
Looking After American Interests in
the TransYaaI.

The Chicago, which arrived at Delagoa
bay yesterday is several days ahead of
her schedule time According to the itine-
fary arranged before the ship sailed from
New Ycrk the vessel was to arrive at Dele
until the 18th of July, when she was to
proceed to Natal, where she wassta stop
until the 10th of July. The visit Of Ad-
miral Howell to Pretoria is said to have no
political significance, although it Is not
usual for an admiral to leave his ship to
proceed overland into another county. I'm
doubtedly the admiral Will consult with the
American consul general at Pretoria re-
specting tha .outloolS in the Transvaal and
will be guided Largely by his advice as to
how long the Chicago will be detained az
Delagoa bay, which is the nearest port to
the Transvaal. Even at Natal, the next
place on her itinerary, however, the ship
will still be within reach of the consul and
will be of service in case of war I'm looking
after the interests of Americans in that
section of the world
The admrals trip to Pretoria will be
over the recently completed route direct
from DelaSoa bay to the capital of the
Transvaal. Formerly all travel to Pretoria
and johannesburg was by way of Cape Col
ony, the trip covering fopydays. But with
the rise OF Delagoa bay as the entrepot of
East Africa and the terminus of several
steamship lines, a new road has been run
from the bay inland, tapping the heart of
the Transvaal and the rich country back
of the coast. The establishment of this
road has been more or less connected with
the political contentious over Delagoa bay
and the efforts of several Of the European
powers to secure ii from Portugal.

Miss Glover is a coIored woman with ~
unenViable police court record. After
numerous appearances before the munich
pal Judge she was finally arrested last
November, on a charge of assault pre-
ferred by man who alleged she had bat
tered him up with a beer bottle The
case was dismissed at the time, with the
understanding that Lady Jane" would
bid farewell to st. Paul for all time
This, however, she failed to do, and when
she returned to the city recently she was
arrested on the street. Through ner at
torney, George w. Walsh, she secured "a
writ of habeas corpus returnable yester-
day.
The application for the writ sets up
that Nellie Glover, in November 1898. was
ordered by the municipal court of st.
Paul "to leave the city and not to re-
turn thereto" Furthermore that on
July y she returned. and five days later
was arrested and committed to jail with
out any trial, the filing of any complaint
or proceedings taken by the court. Ac-
cording to the police court records Nellie
has been numerously charged with dis.

known in the statutes The district
court has ruled on this point, and it is
the opinion of prominent attorneys that
a writ of habeas corpus would be sus-
tanned in any Of the cases.
'The system of record keeping in the
municipal court is not only worthless
but absurd" said a member of the bar

sentenced or charged with being dark

BURNS MAY BIZ FATAL
~
MRS. CHARLES .SCHLICHTING TER
RIRLY INJURED BY AN EXPLO-
SION OF GASOLINE
WAS ENVELOPED IN FLAMES

Too Much Gil Was Allowed to Enter
the Cups OF a Gasoline Stove at
which the Injured Lady's Sister
was at WorL-Fire COmmunicnt-
ed to Can of Oil which Mrs.
SchIichting Tried to Remove.
Mrs Charles Schlichting, living at 1901
East Seventh street, was, perhaps, fatally
burned by gasoline shortly after o'clock
yesterday morning. Her face was charred
by the flames, while both hands and arms
are badly burned About the chest Mrs.
Schlichting also sustained severe burns
and both limbs are blistered to the hips.
The indications are that she also in
hailed some of the flame. Dr. Binder, who
is attending the unfortunate woman, says
ne hopes to save her life, but that the
shock and inhalation of fire may prove
fatal.
The accident happened at Mrs. Schlicht-
ing's home before breakfast yesterday
morning. She was in the yard assisting
her husband, who conducts a dairy, in
milking Miss Schlichting, the injured
woman's sister-in-law, was preparing the
morning meal. In filling the gasoline
stove Miss Schlichting allowed too much
oil to enter the cups. When the oil was
lighted the flames burst forth and the
oil that had run onto the floor caught
fire. Miss Schlichting ran into the yard,
calling for help, and Mrs. Schlichting hur-
ried into the house. A hve-gallon can Of
gasoline stood close to the stove. The
flames had already reached it. Mrs
Schlichting grabbed the can to throw it
out the door. AS she did so a volume of
flame shot from the opening of the can
into her face. 1t was not an explosion
but a sudden puff of fire. The blaze
struck Mrs. Schlichting full in the face
She was overcome by the fire and fell to
the floor, dropping the blazing can. More
oil ran on the floor and over her clothes
In an instant she was completely sur
rounded by fire. Mr. Schlichting ran into
the house. and seeing his wife's terrible
plight sought to rescue her. Rushing into
the fire he seized her about the waist and
half carried, half dragged her out of the
burning oil, and then smothered the
flames still burning about her body. With
wet bed clothing and buckets of water
Mr.. Schichting succeeded in putting out
the fire in the kitchen.
When Dr. Binder arrived he found Mrs
Schlichting unconscious She was fright
fully burned, and the physician hastily
applied every possible relief. Mrs.
Schlichting regained consciousness later
but was very weak. Last evening her
condition was such that Dr. Binder con-
sidered it best to have her removed to St.
Luke's hospital. b..
Mr. Schlichting was painfully burned
about the hands and arms. Both hands
were blistered as well as his arms clear
to the shoulders, while his face was
slightly singed. His burns are not
serious. Mrs. Schlichting is the mother
of two children, the youngest but four
months of age.

BROKE HIS LEG.
But 1t Was a wooden One, and a
Ringing Clown the Victim.

Everybody has heard the comic song
lone of His Legs Was Longer Than 1t
Really Ought to Be-" Well, there was
an illustration of this at a recent per-
Torrance of Ringing Bros circus which
might have ended seriously for one of the
clowns but for his agility and presence of
mind.
1t occurred in that turn or stunt"
as it is called in the vernacular, in which
several clowns enter the ring on stills
about ten feet high. They drink imagin-
airy red liquor from bottles, and presently
each clown Stimulates intoxication. a
real Sag of the staggering variety is
tolerably hard to manage, but not more
so than pretended one on high stills.
A box party was particularly apprecia-
tive, and their applause so stimulated
one of the clowns that he staggered
around in a way he had never attempted
before In a violent effort to recover his
balance one of his stills broke off short
at the foot.
This left the man with only one silt to
stand on, and thus encountered a fall
meant perhaps a broken neck-almost
certainly a FRACTURED limb. A cry of dis
may Weht up, but the clown did not lose
his head, and by quick movement he
threw himself against the box front,
clinging to it until assistance reached
him. His remaining silt was unstrapped,
and he reached terra firma in safety, &C
companied by the applause Of the relieved
audience. Jzs.@>7-<s.-- 4,-.
