the steal at the beginning. The whole
steal was possibly continued because OF
the marvellous head for figures Sehreiber
had. 1t is the old, old story of bank

new quarters in July, I insisted on hav-

DIED FROM THE ACCIDENT.
Sister Of Charity Shot by One Of Her
Boy Pupils.

Helena, Oct. 11.-Sister Baptista. a
Sister of Charity at St. Aioysius Catho-
lie school, was accidently shot and
killed last evening by one of the boy pu-
pills of the school. A military company
has been maintained among the boys in
the school, and some old muskets were
used for the drill. The weapons are not
supposed to be loaded for any purpose,
but the boys occasionally USE them for
hunting near the city. While Sister Bap
tista was in the school room, Johnny
Nicholson, a 11-year old boy, picked up one
Of the muskets, which had been standing
ON the floor, and placed it on the desk.
In some way the hammer of the weapon
is supposed TO have struck the edge Of
the desk, and the gun, which was loaded,
was discharged the shot taking deadly
Effect on the victim, who was standing
close by. She died within an hour, in
great agony, the shot having made a ter
rible wound in the abdomen. The shoot
ling was of course an accident, and could
scarcely have been avoided, but has oc-
casioned great sorrow among the many
friends Of the deceased. The inquest is
to be held today.

New York, Oct. 1.-THE corporation

night. Reports for the year ending Sept.

OF the society during the past year which
was largely due to an increase in immi-

in immigrants from Roumania, where the
Jews have ebeen subjected to bitter per-

Negro From Dutch Guiana Can Not
Be Naturalized.

Trenton, N. j., Oct. 10.-Judge Kirk-
patrick, in the United States Court, re-
fused naturalization papers to Robert
Spaulding (colored), native of Dutch
Guinea. The papers were refused on the
ground that the federal laws permit the
naturalization of white males only.
spaulding is graduate of Howard Uni
Versity, Washington, d. c., and is now a
student at Princeton University, and had
expected to take up the study of law. His
inability to become naturalized will pre-
vent his admission to the bar. Spaudins
said he would appeal the case to Attor-
ney General Griggs. A decision similar
to that rendered by Juese Kirkpatrick
was given in the state courts this week
in the case of a colored man who was
born in Nova Scotia.

LADRONES IN PHILIPPINES
"PATR0Ts" MURDER FAMILY OF FOURTEEN THIEVES, DE-

Manila, August a. Correspondence of
the Associated Press.)-A claim has just
been presented to the secretary of the
military government by Senior Manuel
Pardo for the recovery of the sum of $780,
COO from the government for seizure con-
fiscation and sale of the steamer Toning,
which was seized by the United States
authorities in January 1899, condemned
as filibuster and sold to Mcleod
Company for 1900. Senor PardO claims
that the government officials were de-
ceived by false testimony. He says he
can show that his steamer never carried
nor transported any arms and at all
times he has been friendly to the United
States government The claimant only
asks for the sum the steamer sold for,
so the government will not lose anything
in the event of the claim being allowed.

WOMEN IN RANKS.

Hazelton, Pa, Oct. 11.-About six hun
dred strikers composed Of men from
McAdoo and otner south side towns and
this city, gathered at McAdoo before
dawn this morning, marched to the
Beaver Meadow colliery of Coke Bros
and company which had been kept in
steady operation since the inauguration
of the strike, then came around to Cuyles
strippings, east of the city, and from the
strippings marched right into the heart
of Hazelon. This was the first time since
the strike began that the town was in
vaded by marchers. The procession dis
persed in this city. Several women were
in the crowd.
1t was feared when the marchers
reached Cuyles Strfppings that there
would be trouble, but no violence was at
tempted. Many Of the strikers were loud
in their denunciation of the policeman
stationed near the place, but no disturb
ance occurred.
The strikers reached Beaver Meadow,

they would have attempted to close it
down. Owing, however. to the trouble
yesterday at Oneida, which is also or
Grated by Coke Bros. and Company,

collieries of the firm with the exception
of Drifton, was ordered suspended until
the strike is over. When the strikers
reached that town and found the mine
closed they gave three cheers ana then

fired into the air by marchers.
Everything is quiet this morning at
Oneida, where the strikers and special
officers clashed yesterday. The colliery
is closely guarded, but I.o further out
break is feared. It was reported this
morning that the Oneida store where the
special officers We're ibarra'caded during
the night had been burned, but there is
no truth in the report. George Kelner,
