THE CAMEL'S REVENGE.
A Strange Story Of Stupid Bcasti
Anger.

Anger.
The camel is stupid save when an.

denly possessed with an intelligence
almost preternatural In carrying out
its vengeful designs. Palgrave relates
the following story Of camel's re.
venge. which serves to illustrate this
point: A lad OF IA had conducted q
large camel. laden with wood, from one
village to another. at half-hour's dis.
tance. As the animal loitered. or turn.
ed out OF the way. Its conductor struck
1t repeatedly. and harder than It seem
ed to have thought he had a right to
do. But not finding the occasion ia.
vorable for taking immediate quits, II
"bode its time" That time was moi
long In coming. A few days later the
same lad had to reconduct the beast
but unlhden. TO his own village. When
they were about half way on the road
and at some distance from any habita.
ton. the camel suddenly stopped, look.
ed deliberately round In every dlrec.
tion. 10 assure itself that no one was
within sight, and. finding the road far
and near clear OF passers-by. made q
step forward. seized the unlueky boy's
head in It's monstrous mouth. and, lift.
Ing him up In the air. flung him down
agnin on the earth with the upper
part of his skull completely torn on
and his brains scattered on the
ground. Having thus satisfied its rc.
yenge the brute quietly resumed iu
pace toward the village us though
nothing were the matter. till some
men. who had observed the whole.

distance to be able TO AFFORD timely

CANADA TO BLAME
For Failure of Negotiations OF
.4-f Joint High Commission.

a
WASHINGTON. May 1.-THE state
ments of the press of London and Can
ada respecting the reasons for the re-
cent failure of the negotiations with
Canada have occasioned much surprise
in the official world of Washington
These statements assume that the Ca
nadians made all the offers of conces-
sions, the United States Commissioners
standing by existing conditions
The facts as understood here are di-
rectly contrary to thatSview There are
certain facts tending to contradict the
statement of their press, which the AS
ISOLATED Press is now able to make
known for the first time. Take the
question of trade with Canada. for ex-
ample. 1t is positively known that the
Americans offered absolute free trade in
mineral products, an enlargement of
the free list of forest products. an i'm
portant concession of duty on lurn-
Der and on most agricultural products.
1t is also known that they offered lib
eral terms for the adjustment of the
Behrfng Sea sealing question, and Of
fered an amicable method for the ad-
justment of the boundary question
yielded to Canada's views in respect to
alien labor and to the lake fisheries
and offered reciprocal mining privileges
Indeed, if the opinion in we'll in
formed circles here is we'll founded
nearly every offer of concession pro-
ceeded from the side of the United
States, the Canadians, as a rule, declin-
ing to commit themselves to any dis
tlnct proposition on the foregoing
topics, the Alaska boundary excepted
In fact, it is universally believed at
Washington that the distinct offer of
concessions for a. settlement came al
most wholly from the United States
Commissioners.

ADMIRAL DEWEY,
Left to Choose His Own Route in
Coming Home.

WASHINGTON, May 11.-Secretary
Long said to-day that the Navy De-
partment would not seek to influence
Admiral Dewey in any way in the Sc
lection of the route by which he will re-
turn to the United States. BY an old
custom of the department, an Admiral
is allowed to return to the United
States at the end of his tour of service
on foreign station in his own flagship,
and in the present case Admiral Dewey
may choose his own course, coming
either by way of the Suez or directly
across the Pacific.
The department now expects that he
will reach this country early in June,
though it is stated that he will not
leave Manila until he has completed his
functions as one of the Philippine Com
mission, at least to the extent of termi-
mating hostilities.
THE ADMIRAL INVITED TO PHIL
ADELPHIA.
PHILADELPHIA. May 11.-At a
meeting of the City Council to-day a
resolution was adopted authorizing
Mayor Ashbridge to extend to Admiral
Dewey an invitation to accept the hos
pitality of this city at date acceptable
to the Admiral
An invitation has been cabled to Ad-
miral Dewey to attend the annual ban
quet of the Trades League in this city
next fall.
Secretary of the Navy Long is said
to have cabled the Admiral suggesting
that he accept the invitation, and Post
master General Smith. it is said, will
also urge him to be present.
NEW WORKERS WANT DEWEY TO
LAND THERE FIRST.
NEW YORK, May 1.-THE following
cablegram was sent by Mayor Van
| Wyck to Admiral Dewey to-day:
1.-The people of the city of New York
desire an opportunity to officially well
come you on your return home. They
earnestly request that you first reach
America at the city of New York, the
metropolis of the Western Hemisphere,
where the fullest opportunity can be
given the people of this country to do
appropriate honor to the hero of the
Spanish American war"
He also sent the following telegram
to Secretary Long:
THE people of the city of New York
intend to extend an official welcome to
Admiral Dewey when he comes to this
city 1t is their earnest desire that
the great Admiral should first reach the
American continent at the port of New
York. They sincerely hope that the
United States Navy Department can
SO arrange his home coming"

Luxury in Driving.

The degree of luxury to which people
in New York and the suburbs have at
tanned in the matter of driving is very
remarkable to visitor from other
cities. Every year there are more peo-
pie Who own their own private carri-
ages, and women naturally feel that
they need for driving a different style
of dress, consequently their dressmak-
ers have to evolve new styles for
them. They can wear much more elab-
crate clothes, much longer skirts, much
more brilliant colors, secure in the con.
seriousness that they are in their own
surroundings almost as much as though
they We're in their own house. Car.
riage people certainly are a great BEN
eft to the public in one respect A
more brilliant scene can hardly be
imagined than Fifth Avenue and Cen
trail Park present in the early spring
afternoons, and the suburbs around
New York where the country places
are kept by people of means who keep
up very thorough Establishments

and Father-in-Law.

HOWARD CITY (Mich.), May IL
Joseph Harvey last night killed his
wife, his uncle, Robert Pierson, and his
grandmother, and MORALLY wounded

ther-in-law, John Logenslayer, and fin
ally shot himself, infiicting a wound
which is expected to prove fatal
Harvey's uncle and grandmother live
mile north of town. The murderer
went there last evening. He asserts
that Pierson, his uncle. was quarreling
with his grandmother, and that he in
terfered; that thereupon Pierson stab
bed and killed the old lady. aged 10.
| and that he QIarvey) retaliated by
shooting his uncle. After shooting
Pierson Harvey stabbed him three
| times.
| Harvey then returned to his home,
| two miles southwest of town Arriv-
ing there he shot his wife twice, kill
ing her. He then fired at his baby, the
ball going into its arm.
Next Harvey entered his father-in-
laws room and shot him twice He
then turned the revolver on himself,
shooting himself I'M the neck.
| Harvey's wife when attacked was
mother, who died yesterday.
| The Pierson home presents a horrible
! appearance. Persons body was found
in a. chair, and that of the old lady on
the floor clad in a night dress. There
are signs of a desperate struggle be-
tween Harvey and his grandmother
but no indication of a fight between
| the two men.
| Harvey informed the Sheriff of the
murders at Persons house He was
| then arrested for numbering his wife.
He has nothing to say Of the tragedies
at his own home. There are strong
