NEW YORK MURDER MYSTERY.
Police Think the victim Was Possibly
Crucified.

Crucified.
New York, Sept. 8.-The North
River tide yesterday brought to the
shores of New York another murder
mystery. The victims name is be-
lieved to have been August Eichen.
The body, with gashed throat and lac
Grated hands, bumped against the pier
at the foot of Twentieth street. The
fact that both hands are punctured as
with sharp spike adds to the mys-
terry. To the police it looks as if the
man had been crucified. One hour
after the body was discovered it was
in the morgue, and Central office de-
tives were at work trying to trace
the crime to its author. The police
nave little doubt that Eichen, IL that
IS his name. was murdered They
dave no doubt, either that he made
fierce fight for. his life. The CASH
ed hands indicate that In the right
vest pocket was a small slip of paper
that had been folded to the size of a
postage stamp. On this paper in
capitals are the letters IL. F. l. X"
ShuSi thcoe ietleiS are ZIG Cdpildio
"B. K. N. X" The police are puzzled
at the strange characteristics. They
believe these letters signify some
thing that "Eichen" was expected to
do by society. 1t was suggested
last night that the man might have
been an anarchist. who had fallen a
victim to disobedience to his order.
The police also have an idea that
"Eichen' met his successful rival in
love and was murdered.

FOREST FIRES IN MAINE.
Flames Destroying Miles of Timber and
Threatening Cities.

Bangor, Me-, Sept. 10.-After two
months of drought innumerable forest
fires are sweeping through eastern
Maine, destroying miles of timber
lands, while the people in the small
mountain towns are all out ready to
save their homes and property. The
fires are making the greatest havoc in
Hancock and Penobscot counties. At
Oldtown the fire department and citi-
zens have been on duty all day, while
the wind sweeps great sheets of flames
across the river and into the village.
In Hancock county 800 men are work
ing day and night fighting the flames.
Another fire is raging near Washing
ton Junction, and a report received
from there tonight says that the
towns of Franklin and Hancock are
in imminent danger of destruction.
The fire has spread towards the city
of Ellsworth and is now within half
a mile of Senator Hale's residence and
still drawing nearer. The senator has
hired a large number of men to at
tempt to save his buildings. At ELS
worth the fire department is staying
up, with apparatus ready to start at
a moments notice. Fire is burning
near Cherryfield, in Washington coun-
ty. At South Brooksville a fire is bear
ing down upon Ames Point, and the
property there, which is owned by
Prof Ames of Tufts college, is in i'm
minent danger.

Queens Cabinet.

When cabinet ministers are first adj
mitted to the privy council they have
to make solemn oath not to make
known the conversation or proceed
ings of cabinet councils or any COM
munications they may have with the
Queen or with another minister. They
cannot give hint CT such things even
to the highest members of the govern
ment who are not cabinet ministers.
No clerk or secretary is allowed to Ee
present at cabinet councils, no written
record is kept and it is even the GUS
tom not to take any notes. Hence no
one but the Queen and the ministers
ever know what has really been said
and decided at cabinet meetings. The
oath Of secrecy lasts to the end of life.
A former cabinet minister is as much
bound by it as an actual cabinet min
lister. Any conversation a minister or
a peer may have with the Queen on
state matters must also be kept secret;
so must letters to and from the SOW
ereign.

Parsons was very conservative

over her career. He had the old idea
of religion, and got that out of him.
About social questions he hadn't
thought at ALL"
They came to Chicago twenty-seven
years ago, and that was the beginning
of the career of Lucy Parsons. Par
sons got place as typesetter
The tide of anarchy in Chicago rose
higher and higher, and with it rode
Parsons and his Indian wife. They
lectured, and wrote, and took part in
all the secret meetings of the Reds.
When the bomb was thrown in Hay
market square and Chicago walked up
to the danger Parsons was one of the
men who was tried and hanged for the
crime. He was one of the Chicago an
archists hanged in the county Jail,
while the streets were deserted and
still, shutters fast on houss and a
black pail hung over the city, and men
were white and trembling with fear.
From that time to the present Mrs.
Parsons has been growing more bitter
in her denunciation of present condi-
tions. She is a woman with a griev-
ance. Her creed is education, agita-
ton, evolution with an occasional rev.
olution thrown in to make things live
ly. She believes in no private owner
ship nor in political government Her
idea is to divide society into industrial
groups, each of them to manage its
own industry in it's own way.

AN ANARCHIST QUEEN
Lucy Parsons,

of dynamite. "Hirelings of capital!"
and Minions of plutocrats" are her
pet names for the officers of the law
and these she hurls at them when she
harangues her followers on the street
corners.
Mrs Parsons was born on the brown
barrens of Texas ranch As years ago.
Her mother was Creek Indian and
her father pure Mexican, so that this
noted queen of anarchists is mixture
of the Aztec and the North American
