President Carnot of France, Empress
Elizabeth of Austria and King Humbert
in view of the declaration OF Luigi Luc.
.chenni, the assassin of the Austrian em-
press, made Mt his trial that his crime
was only the first episode in the general
execution of several European sovereigns.
The police quickly discovered that a
certain Angelo Bresci lived here two
years ago and was closely watched as an
anarchist The description of this man
is almost the same as that sent by the
Italian detectives, yet it remains to be
seen whether the two men are one and
the same. Lucchenni, when questioned
in prison regarding the matter, declined

Mucb Trouble For Crncksmen.

Champaign, Ills, July 31.-The vault
of the Bank Of Armstrong, Ills, village
near Champaign, was blown with dyna-
mite. The explosion was so heavy that
the entire building was wrecked and the
burglars came near losing their lives in
the ruins. The noise of the explosion
aroused the villagers, who hastened to
the scene, armed with guns and revolvers.
A pitched battle ensued between them
and the burglars, who were still in the
ruins. The latter, however, finally sue
ceeded in escaping in the darkness.

DUKE OF sAXE-COBURG DEAD.
Suddenly Passes Away mt His Home,
Rosenau Castle.

London, July 31.-The Duke of Sake
Coburg, who died at Rosenau castle, Co
burg, by his sudden demise escaped a
painful lingering end. Recently at a
consultation of specialists in Vienna it
was discovered that there was can
cerous growth ut the root of his tongue.
At the desire of the duchess and other
members of the family, who were aware
of the nature Of the disease, the duke
took up his residence at Rosenau.
His royal highness was unaware of the
real state of his health and hoped he
would recover until Friday last, when
his condition became such as to preclude
hope. Saturday and Sunday he suffered
such violent attacks of suffocation that
arrangements were made for performing
the operation of tracheotomy. Finally
the duke died without having suffered
severe pain.
| During the minority of his heir, the
Duke of Albany, the government of the
duchy will be conducted by the hereditary
Prince of Hohenlohe-L -Langenberg, the
guardian of the young duke.
The news of the death created sensa-
tion in London, as it was totally uneX-
pected. There were many callers at
Clarence and Marlborough houses and the
lord chamberain's Office. Flags were
half masted at the Carleton, Reform,
Sports and other west end clubs.
The queen naturally was deeply affect
ed and the Prince of Wales, as n matter
of course, cancelled the arrangements for
attending Goodwood, where his horse,
Lucknow, was the favorite in the race
for the Stewards Cup. AT Windsor
there were many signs of mourning, the
bells in the curfew tower of st. Georges
chapel being tolled.
1t is stated that the body of the late
duke will be embalmed and brought tu
England for interment and that it will
lie in state mt Windsor.
The dukes successor, the Duke of Al
bany, has arrived in London.
The funeral of the late duke will be
held at Coburg on Friday, Aug. 3. On
that occasion the Prince of Wales will
represent Queen Victoria. He will be ac-
companied to Coburg by either his son,
the Duke of York, or his brother, the
Duke of Connaught.

of leaving, but Justice Whyard and two
police officers remained aboard and pre-
vented the boat from leaving.

There is no necessity whatever for
so much complaint Of the feet If peo-
pie could only be induced to wear the
proper kind of Shoes" said a surgeon
who has made the foot the subject of
special study. The great mistake that
Is made is in selecting shoes that are
too short No matter how loose they
trouble. Then ends of the bones arc
crowded together, and with continual
grinding an irritation takes place and
an inflammation is set up that may re-
main as long as life lasts. French wo-
men are admitted as having the most
beautiful feet of any women in the
world, and the reason Of this is that
they refuse to wear short shoes. but
select those that are long enough "a
give the feet perfect freedom. The ay-
erage woman who wears n number 3
ID, would find her health, comfort and
appearance greatly improved by wear
ing a AZ e. The most important OF
all items in getting shoes, after the
proper length is secured, is to have
them fit snugiy around the instep. This
keeps the foot from driving forward
into the shoe, as il would do were Il
loose over the instep. Large shoes al
low the toes to press forward. and are
more injurious than snug ones; indeed
it is easy 10 see how the feet working
on an incline will crowd down upon
the toes, putting the delicate bones
out Of place. and laying the train for

An Egg-Eatinc Snake.

Now. how does it manage to get
down its throat such thing as n
ducks egg. not only so much larger
than itself but also hard and perfect
ly smooth? We know that a common
snake is aided in swallowing a toad
by its hook-like teeth. which hold the
prey while the upper and lower jaws
glide over It alternately and thus push
IL backwards. Lizards. boas. the He
terodOn OF Madagascar, etc. are said
to place the egg-of a canary or other
small bird. that is-against an irreg-
ularity of the ground or within one
Of their own folds. which enables them
to ram it into their mouths. In tha
case OF our "dasypeltis" and its duck )
egg, however. these explanations do
not suffice. this genus being destitute
Of true teeth. We can, therefore, only

suppose that couple OF membranous
folds. which have been discovered, one
on each side of its mouth. lay hold OF
the shell like cupping glasses. and
thus work il into the throat. But here
we meet with another difficulty. After
the egg has passed between the pro-
digiously distended jaws and upper
esophagus, ii would seem as if its bulk
and solidity. when lodged in a compar-
atively inelastic part OF the digestive
tube, whose juices are unable TO dis
solve the shell, must quickly prove Ia
tai to the animal. A remarkable in
stance OF natural adaptation is afford
ed by the manner in which the danger
is provided against. The anodon. as
already observed. has no true teeth.
So-called gular teeth, however. are
present, these being really the tips or
the long inferior spines OF the first
eight or nine vertebrae. protruding
through the esophageal wall. When
the shell is broken by the gular teeth

= Labrador Bear Story.

a writer on Labrador, n an article

ing bear story: A couple of winters

Of Main armed with only a small knife
and an old-fashioned muz1le-loader.
He encountered no game till several
miles from the mission. and his first
quarry WAS a thin. hungry-lOOkinS

boy fired carelessly, only irfiicting

most theoretically, with the certain
knowledge that certain death was only
few yards behind. if he did not put
speed into his heels. The ill-luck of
his first maladroit aim was repeated in
clumsy fall over powders, during
which Bruin made such time the boy
could gauge how much his pursuer
gained on him by the nearer sound OF
something hulking over the rocks
closer and closer at every leap. The
trail was rough ard uneven. but that
was greater disadvantage to the boy
than to the bear. With that versatile
presence OF mind bred by daily dan
gers. the lad tore off one NIT and flung
that behind. There was a momentary
halt on the part of the grizzly and the
Eunter made speed. but the way was
long, and his strength was giving out.
Presently he could hear the thud, thud
