Not satan. skeleton.

A skeleton was recently dug up In
Ohio which resembled that OF a man..
but the skull was three times as thick
as the human skull, and there were two
horns. about two inches long, on each
side of the head. Some Of those who
saw II thought it was the skeleton OF
Satan, but we don't believe II. Not
that there would be anything strange
in finding him in Ohio. but that he
should be dead. We hold that he is
still there, or just over the line In

Much has been written about the bravery and GOODNESS of the soldiers en-
gagged in the Bosr-Brtish war, and each side has been praised unsuntedy,
but there are others" IS the phase of the day has it, who imperl their
lives. These are surgeons and nurses, the drivers and ambulance attend
ants, who can by no means be inspired by the heat of battle. Then. there
ar. the war correspondents, who also lack the inspiring motive of patriot
ism and whose rendering of the word of duty is t get Is near the front as
possible without getting hurt.
1t is by n 0 means a part OF a war correspondents business to rn any
risk in getting the news. and he may as we'll stay at the rear as not so far
a his plain duty is concerned. But it is not in human nature tt see some
that might a we'll as not have been picked up by himself had he been
with the vanguard instead Of among the stragglers In the war now going
on in South Africa there is a friendly rivalry among the correspondents as
to which shall secure a beat over the other.
A suggestion of some of the perls they run is conveyed in the scene de-
pcted herewith, where a war artist anxious to get to the front was taken
for a Boer by a sentry oyerzealous in the performance of his duties and
nearly killed.

Washington April 29.-Admiral Dewey, accompanied by Mrs. Dewey and his priv ate secretary, Lieutenant Caldwell left to- day at noon in a special train over the Bal timore & Ohio railroad, en route to Chicago to participate in the celebration of the sec ond anniversary of the battle of Manila.

 Just before the train pulled out of the station, Mrs. Dewey was presented with handsome boquet of American beauty roses. Probably a thousand people were on hand, and a cheer went up as the train pulled out.
 MT. J. H. Maddy of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad accompanied the party in order to give his personal supervision to the trip.

PROXY DELEGATES
 REFUSED A VOTE
General Convention of the Order
 of B'Nai B'Rith.
A SPIRITED DISCUSSION
Victoria Brahm of Cincinnati Was Elected Chairman, and Among the
 Vice-Presidents is Jacques
 Loeb of Montgomery, Ala.

Chicago, April 29.-Sixteen delegates to the seventh general convention of the grand lodge of the Independent Order of B BNai B Rith, which held its first session at the auditorium today, were denied the right to vote in the deliberations of that body though the privilege of the floor was given to them.
 The decision was arrived at after spirited discussion of the question after the committee on credentials reported that the delegates representing the lodges in Germany, Roumania and Austria had not been regularly elected as was required by the constitution of the organization The majority of the delegates were proxy rep resentatives All the delegates who have been prevented from voting are from the United States-some of them living in Chi cago and others in St. Louis, Denver, New Orleans and San Francisco. It appears that there were no delegates appointed to the present convention by the lodges in the foreign countries named with the excep- ton of one-Sigmund Borgel of Berlin, and proxy delegates were selected from the lodges in this country without the for mality of an election.
 Victoria Brahm of Cincinnati, was elected chairman; pr. s. B. Wolf of New York, secretary; and Nat Strauss of New Or leans assistant secretary. Henry Kane, New York; Jacob Furth, St. Louis; F. L. Wormser, Scranton, Pa.; Jacob Green baum, San Francisco Joseph Salebz, Wash ington; Adolph Fruendell, Detroit; Jacques Loeb, Montgomery, Ala; and Sigmund Borgel of Berlin, were elected vice pres- dents for the eight districts of the lodge in the order named.
 A message from the president of the executive committee, Judas Bien, dwelt at at length on the past work Of the organi- zation along educational, charitable and fraternal lines, and made a numbedr of suggestions for its future welfare After the reading of the message an adjourn ment was taken until tomorrow.
 The organization in the United States is divided into ten districts and the conven- tion will revise the laws and pass legisla- tion for the government of the various subordinate lodges.
 President Judas Bien of New York occu- pied the chair when the convention was called to order.

MANSION FUND OPENED
For Relief of the Sufferers in Ottawa
 Fire

London, April 29.-The lord mayor of London, A. J. Newton, has opened man. sion house fund for the relief of the vic- tins of the Ottawa fire.
 Yesterday Joseph Chamberlain, secretary for the colonies wrote the lord mayor and communicated to him dispatches exchanged with the earl of Minto, governor general of Canada, showing the extent of the disas- ter and showing also that the Canadian premiar, Sir Wilfried Laurier, has assured Lord Minto that MT. Chamberlains sug- gestion that the mother country would like to contribute, was appreciated. MT. Cham berlain wrote:
 "In these circumstances, my lord, would ask you with your usual kindness, to consider the desirabiity of opening fund. I am confident that at time when Canada is making, in South Africa, such sacrifices for the common interests of the empire. an appeal to the generosity of the British public will meet with ready re- sponse"

NO SYMPATHETIC STRIKE
President Powell Says He Sees Nc
 Reason for Such Action

Atlanta, Ga., April 29.-President Powell of the Order of Railway Photographers said tonight that there would De no sym pathetic strike on any southern or eastern roads, as has been stated in one or two northern newspapers. T see no reason, said MT. Powell, "why the difficulties on the roads named should not be settled without a strike. We have received the sypathy, moral and financial support In our difficulty here from the operators on many railroads, and no strike is necessary. We are prepared to continue the present strike indefinitely"

THE HOUSE

Washington, April 29.-The feature of the week in the house will be the Nicaragua canal bill, which will be considered Tues day and Wednesday. The elimination of the section relative to the fortification of the canal reviews the objections to it by the friends of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, but because of that very fact the resent ment of some of the democrats has been aroused. The bill, however, doubtless will command a very large majority when it comes to vote. Thursday will be given up to the consideration of the Free Homes" bill and Friday to war claims. Tomorrow is District of Columbia day.

Manchester Market Dull

Manchester, April 29.-The market here continues dull but firm. Sellers are reserved and buyers indifferent. India, distracted by famine and pestilence, cannot pay the prev ent prices.
 The other markets continue featureless with only small and scattered purchases of many varieties, the aggregate being much below the output. Yarns are slow, the sales being confined to old orders. Some sorts are getting thin in spots.
 Gladbach reports conditions there to be very quiet. Unless a crop eisaster comes along, little inclination to purchase is like ly to develop. Prices. however, are firm.

HORSEMEN BLOCKING

 Thought-Pretty Com
 test Expected
MEET BEGINS ON THURSDAY

Louisville, Ky, April 29-When the sad ding bell rings at Churchill Downs next Thursday, 1t will inaugurate what prom ises to be the greatest meeting in the his- tory of the Louisville Jockey club. AL ready the city is filling up with the ad- vance guard of turfites, and it is expected that fully 9O,OOO people will witness the Kentucky Derby. All of the railroad lines entering Louisville have put on excursion rates for the meeting and a big crowd of visitors is expected
 Two weeks ago the Derby looked like it might be a three horse race, Lieutenant Gibsons work being so impressive as to stamp him as the class of the race. Since then, however, the favorite has either not been doing so we'll or the other contenders have been doing better. As it looks now, there will be a field of eight sure starters and possibly ten. The sure ones are:
 Lieutenant Gibson, Kentucky Farmer, F. w. Brode Hindus, Highland Lad, Florizar, His Excellency and Benadier
 To these may be added Thrive and Flaunt Flaunt worked the Derby route this morning in 2:11 Although Lieuten- ant Gibson's stock has deprecated during the past fortnight he will still go to the post a marked favorite Tom McDowelfs colt, His Excellency, will receive some con- sideration from the fact that he has made a mile and an eighth on the Lexington track in 1:54A.
 Notwithstanding F. w. Brode's ugly temper, his owner says he will start him in the derby. He has suked in his last two races, but it may be that he will take a nation to run kindly on Thursday. If he should run to his California form he will be a hard horse to beat. Kentucky Farmer will start, but his preparation has been so slow and conservative that he has few friends outside of his trainer. High land Lad will be put in as the pacemaker for his stable companion, Florizar. He has considerable speed but is not thought to be mile and quarter horse. If he goes out after Lieutenant Gibson for the first seven eighths, however, he may prove bothersome to the packers of that colt Hindus is a dark one. He belongs to George J. Long, and has done all that has been asked of him. Benader is a consistent little horse.
 All the stables are filling up rapidly, and by the time the Memphis contingent gets here tomorrow morning, there will be one thousand horses here. The turf con gress handicap, worth $35OO, will be run on Saturday. It has Bangle, John Bright, Pink Coat and other good ones in it. The Clark stakes, a renewal of the derby, will be run May 10 and the Kentucky oaks on May 19. There are eleven stakes in all. Charles F. Price will be the presiding judge as usual, and Morgan Chinn will do the starting.
