GaIlOws Birds.

The most famous bird in this direc-
ton was the tomtit that built it's nest
in Tom Otter's skull. Tom Otter was
hanged in 1905 at Lincoln, and gibbeted
in lane near SaXilby, still called Glib
bet Lane, where he had murdered his
victim. A pair of tomtits made their
nest in his skull:
Ten tongues in one head,
Nine living and one dead:
One flew forth to fetch some bread
To feed the living and the dead.
An old lady who died only few years
ago could remember, when girl. pass
ing the gibbet on Brakeman Heath,
and noticing the nest of a starting in
the ribs of the skeleton.-Penny Pic

FILIPINOS DEFIANT.
Those tn the Southern Islands Deter-
 mined Not to Yield

Victoria, B. C., June 29.-Advices from Hackodale state that Captain Sakchi of the steamer Hokoku Maru just return ed from the Philippines reports that in the southern islands the young Filipinos are constructing Notifications against emergencies. Every port is garrisoned by thousand or so volunteers, whose weapons, however, are very crude only about 20 per cent. being armed with rifles (Remingtons). They are, however, full of patriotism and state that they will not yield to the Americans though the whole of the islands are destroyed. The Hokoku Maru was warmly well comed by the Filipinos, who consider the Japanese to be kindred race and hope for assistance from them. The Filipinos were prepared to pay for arms and ann munition and said the Japanese vessels visiting the islands could take in return cargoes of hemp. Captain Sakishi says he only sold the insurgents two revol vers and the cooks knives.

OPINIONS ON THE RICE.
Yale Men Concedc That Harvard De-
 scAYed Her Victory.

New London, June 29.--Captain Allen of the Yale crew, in speaking tonight of the race, said: "It was a hard one, and was won on it's merits. Harvard had a fast crew and deserved victory Our crew I know was not especially slow"
 Head Coach Gallaudet said: "There is little to say at a time like this. All we can do is to extend congratulations to Harvard for her well-earned vic tory
 Alfred Cowles, who hhs been Dr. Gal laudets assistant during the past five months, said: "Our men pulled fine race and they rowed as well as they knew how, and better than we expect ed. Harvard's crew was a fast one and it deserved the victory
 Richard c. Armstrong, an old Yale oar, said: "We were simply beaten out of our boots. But Yale is not feeling sore over the defeat; only a bit de- pressed.
 Head Coach P. C. Storrow of Harvard was outspoken in praise of his men. 'They won," he said, simply because they roWed hard and steady, It was victory which did them very great cred it. The time, though would have been much better if the race had been rowed an hour earlier and if the excursion boats had not crowded the course
 Captain F. L. Higginson, jr., stroke of the first winning Harvard crew since 1891, who contributed greatly to crim- son success, was beaming with happi- ness when he returned to quarters
 J. J. Storrow, the coXswain of the freshman crew, in speaking of the var sity, said: "The crew was a remarka- bly, fast one, and it's special feature was the fact that the men rowed well to- gether."
 Coxswain Wadleigh said; q got fear ful as to the outcome once. During the second mile Yale did a tremendous spurt and for minute it looked dubi- ous, but the boys responded beautifully and a moment later we all felt we had the race well in hand. The two things that contributed most to our success were our slow recovery and tremendous leg drive-those and the fact that the four and freshmen had done their share Why, al the end of the freshman race, when my boys heard the news they got fairly wild to get into their shell. They danced up and down the deck fairly shaking with nervous excitement and eagernesS."

We are convinced that we are right and Presi- dent Mckinley will go forward, l be- lieve, to a successful issue. Mistakes have been made, but we learn by mis- takes, and depend on it, we are going to come out on top,
 "The situation in Paris, which is equivalent to France, seems to be grad ually becoming broader. All this spas modic upset, this changing of ministers, these cries from the housetops, are sure ly laying the foundation of making men divide off into those cognate parties which, well defined, will, in my opinion, yet raise France into and keep her in the front rank
 T have come back to London and am proud of the marvellous success of our ambassador, Mr. Choate He is going to make a great mark. We did not see the work MT. Bayard did at the time he gave expression to sentiments which possibly had no reality in England, and he knew it. We did not know and we blamed him. But he was laying foundation and accomplished the mar velous wok of preparing the way for the grand revolution in popular senti- ment on both sides of the Atlantic go back confident that we have great times coming in the United States. Questions not dreamt of as the least struggle are forging to the front and the fight will be keen and stiff, and, as report goes no man can tell the issue with any success till the electoral vote is declared.'

sv,,l,m,ntic Banks Suit.

Willimantic, Conn.,, June 29.-The case of the First National bank of Willi- mantle against William Bevan of East Hampton, which has been on trial in the superior court before Judge Rora
 back since Tuesday was completed with the exception of the arguments this af- ternoon. As most of the attorneys in the case reside in Hartford it was de- cided to have the arguments presented in that city Tuesday, July il. The case was brought by the First National bank to recover on a note which Bevin gave for the purchase of some of the stock of the Natchaug Silk company. He had paid 75 per cent. in cash and gave a note for the remaining 25 per cent. When the bank instituted a suit MT. Bevans brought a counter claim to recover the money that he had paid all leging that it was obtained by fraud. and misrepresentation. Several others were somewhat similarly involved but most of them have paid. However the outcome will be watched with interest.

INCREASE IN COLONIAL ARMY
FIRST TOLUNTEERS TO BE RAISED
 FOR THE SERVICE.
They Will be Those of the Skeleton Regiments Now Forming by Gen. Otis Belief That There WilI be no piffi- Com mtasiOns.

Washington, June 29.--The first vol unteers to be raised for service i'll the Philippines will be those of the skeleton regiments now being formed by General Otis. It is not believed there will be the least difficulty in obtaining these men. It is probable that some time will elapse before the troops of the provisional ar- my are sent to Manila, but meanwhile they will be drilled in camp. The off, cers of the war department think that number of volunteers now coming home will desire to return to the Philip pines for short service after they have had an opportunity to see home and friends The announcement that a DOT ton of the provisional army was to be raised at once has caused a swarm of applications to be sent to the war de- partment by those who are seeking commissions in the new regiments.

It is thought probable that after she called for help from the rear window she ran back to her own room and was there when Lieutenant Redmond first mounted the ladder to rescue her. It is also probable that, being blinded and choked by the smoke, she became be- wildered and in endeavoring to reach the stairs from her room she ran back to the rear of the building and became so overcome that she was unable to go back and fell to the floor.
 Sister Aloysius took the veil about twenty-five years ago, and her name before that was Ellen Kennedy and she was a cousin of Rev. Father Mulcahy, vicar-general of the Connecticut dio- cese, who was at one time stationed at the Sacred Heat church in this city. Her parents are said to live in Nebras- ka. She was about forty-flve years of age and had been at the Sacred Heart since the parochial school was opened there in 1895, going to the Sacred Heart parish from St. Francis in Fair Haven. She taught in the Sacred Heart school yesterday, and last evening had receiV- ed congratulations that all those pupils Ol the SCHOOL WHO ldu tlltu lliSii SSiio'i entrance examinations had passed. She was greatly beloved by her pupils. Many of these were at the fire and their manifestations of grief when they learned of the death of their teacher were pitiful to see.
 Medical Examiner White was notified and went to the parish house, where he made his official examination. The re- mains were taken charge of by Under taker Keenan, but remained at the par ish house. It was thought at one time during the fire that two other sisters were in the building, but they were later found, and at midnight Father Fitzgtr- aid stated that all but Sister Aloysius had escaped. Some of the sisters were slightly suffocated by the smoke and prostrated by the excitement. They were attended by pr. stephen J. Maher A domestic who was employed in the building could not be found last night, although her hat and shawl were found The laundry room was searched, but no trace of her was found and it was be- lieved that she had escaped safely and was somewhere in the large crowd which filled the adjoining streets,

Nuslxegon Killed Himself Also.
 Muskegon, Mich., June 29.-Mayor James Balbirnce was assassinated at noon by J. w. Tayer, a disappointed of flee seeker. Tayer shot the mayor while the latter was standing in the doorway of his store. The ball entered his left breast above the nipple. After the shooting Balbirnce turned and ran up- stairs to his living rooms and dropped in the hall. He expired in fifteen min utes. Tayer swallowed some carboic acid and then turned the revolver upon himself and fired. The ball entered his left breast He died at 1 o'clock. John w. Tayer was ex-city poor director. At the time of the shooting, Western ave- nue. the main thoroughfare on which the mayors store is situated, was filled with people. The affair arose over Mayor Balbirnce's refusal to reappoint Tayer director of the city poor. Tayer had held this position for a number of years, but this spring was busted.
