So far as is known, this Is the first In

him of what was likely to happen when

his white shirt was prominent object

cancel the word liberia" Qiberty) and
substitute for 1t the word "lealta"
loyalty. - Signor Ronconi, the
famous baritone and great public IA
vorite, having, in the ardor of his role,
forgotten the above mentioned emenda-
ton, was imprisoned for three days in
order to refresh his memory.
Not long after, singing the line in the
"EIisir d'Amore" describing how a
peasant enlisted, "Vende la liberia. 81
fe soldato" (He sold his liberty to be a
soldier, he waggishly altered IL to
"Vende Ia lealta, 81 fe soldato." This
variation in the text was received with
lively applause by the public. who al
ways warmly welcomed anything that
savored of political opposition.
The next day the poor singer was
summoned by the head of the police to
receive a reprimand for having said
that loyalty could be sold" to which
Ronconi replied by observing that a
few days before he had been taught IN

Shanghai, Sept. 1.-William Wood
Vile Rockhill, United States special
commissioner in China. when ques-
toned yesterday regarding his denial
OF statements made by him to cor
respondent of the Associated Press and
cabled TO the United States from
Shanghai, said the state department
had cabled him regarding the inter
view, and as he considered the CONVEX
sation personal he had felt justified in
replying that he had given no inter-
view.
The correspondent OF the Associated
Press on the occasion in question Wis
tied ROckhill as a correspondent, and
for the purpose of inquiring whether
in Rockhill's opinion Russia would
withdraw from Picking. AS Rockhil
did not request the correspondent to
refrain from publishing his views as
expressed during the conversation, the
correspondent thought he desired to
have them made known.
In the interview Rockhill was quoted
as declaring the Chinese government in

Colombia Not Running Behind in the

Washington, Sept. THE United

Zalamea, who has just arrived in the
United States from Colombia, called
at the state department yesterday
bearing upon his person dispatches
from Hart, the United States minister
to Colombia. According to the vice
con sui there has been a coup d'etat in
Colombia, and the vice president, Mar
roguin. has seized the reigrs of power,
imprisOning the president, San Glenn

fairs, General Palacio.
Great confusion exists i'll govern

ARMORED COFFINS.
They Were Once Used In a Church.
yard In Scotland.

In the earlier half of the nineteenth
century the practice of stealing bodies
from the churchyards for the purpose
of sale as subjects for dissection, which
was known as "body snatching," waa
for a time very rife.
Various plans were made to defeat
the nefarious and sacrilegious proceed
ings of the body snatchers," or ''resu>
rectionists," as they were sometimes
called, very common one being the
erection of two or more small watch
houses whose windows commanded
the whole burying ground, and in
which the friends of the deceased
mounted guard for number of nights
after the funeral.
A usual method of the grave robbers
was to dig down to the head of the
coffin and bore in it large round hole
by means of a specially constructed
center bit. 1t was to counteract this
maneuver that the two curious coffin
like relics now lying on either side of
the door of the ruined church of Aber-
foyle, in Perthshire, were constructed.
They are solid masses of cast iron OF
enormous weight.
When an interment took place one of
these massive slabs was lowered by
suitable derricks, tackles and chains
on to the top Of the coffin, the grave
was filed in, and there it was left for
some considerable time. Later on the
grave was opened and the iron armor
plate was removed and laid aside
ready for another funeral.
These contrivances still lie on tE=
grass of the lonely little churchyarC,
objects of curiosity to the passing cy-
clist and tourist.-Scientific American.
