DOG RETURNS FROM GRAVE
Resurrected Canine Frightens q
Little Girl Into Con-
vulsiOns.

Marion Murphy, seven years old,
was frightened into spasms by the ap-
pearance of favorite dog that had
been buried. The animal was bull
dog belonging to James Griffin, of No.
10 Liberty street. 1t attacked a
neighbor, who inveigled it into his
premises and, administered a large
dose of chloroform. When the ami
NAL was pronounced dead he dug a
grave and buried it. Marion wept
when her play fellow was buried, but
the next day, when she stood near
the Griffin home and saw the dog ap-
proach, she screamed in fright, and
when it jumped on her in play she
fell in commissions. Investigation
showed that the dog had dug out of
it's grave, having been buried alive.

LESSON IN CHINESE WORDS.
Here Is an Easy Rule by Which They
May Be Pronounced
Correctly.

If a few simple rules are observed
Chinese words are not difficult to pro-
nounce. A always about as a in far;
e always approximately as in they;
very like in the machine or pin,
and always as the u of rule. Every
syllable has an independent value, and
should be given that value in pro-
nunciation. AS for consonants, they
are pronounced exactly as written.
These three rules will secure as cor
rect pronunciation of Chinese names
as can be secured without oral in
struction, says the Chicago Chronicle.
For example, under the first rule,
one would say tah-koo for Taku, not
take-you, as one may frequently hear
the word pronounced: lee-hoong-
chahng for Ii Hung Chang, not lie
hung-chang; peh-king for Peking, not
peek-in; shahng-hah-ee for Shanghai,
not shang-high; tsoong-le-yahmen for
g-li-yamen. not tsunglie yamen,
and so on. Under the second rule
Tientsin is pronounced teeyentsinn,
accenting the yen sylla BILE, not teen
tsin. Yunnanfu is yoo-nahn-foo, not
ynan-fyu. In like manner all words
are pronounced with syllable dis
tinctness and with uniform vowel
sound. Under the third rule the prov
ince name Szechuan is sounded not
zekuan, but nearly as zeh-choo-ahn,
touching the choo very lightly; Liau--
tong peninsula is li-hoo-tong.

DOG COULDN'T STAND IT.
The Excitement Was Too Much and
1t Expired While Watching
Women in q Fight.

They were only sisters, but the mer-
ry way in which they plucked out
each others hair by the roots in the
vestibule entrance to Dearborn ave-
nue. apartment house indicated long
standing mutual hatred, reports the
Chicago Chronicle. Several hundred
excited spectators gathered from the
street and nearby flats, but among
them all there was none who evinced
any desire to separate the women who
were pounding each other and rolling
on the floor in a confusion and siren
uosity that won the plaudits of the
crowd.
"Choke her, Ida." shouted fat man
who sided with the woman that had
gained the upper hand and was
scratching her opponents face with
fingers that worked like hay tedder
1t was the landlord who rushed into
the crowd in a laudable effort to part
the combatants. At his heels and as
much excited as his master came
his pet terrier. Around and around
the little dog whirled. barking loudly
while the landlord exerted his
strength to end the fight. Just as
it's owner succeeded IN his errand of
peace the terrier fell over on it's side,
dead. The excitement had been too
much for its weak heart.

HAVEN FOR CLEVER THIEVES.
Criminals Find Safe Refuge from
Justice in the Republic
of Honduras.

This is one corner of Central Amer
lea that is at present a perfect para
disc for men who have committed any
crime. 1t is place where the out
casts of the worlds society rule the
land of their adoption-and where the
officials of the government protect all
thieves that come to them and make
it dangerous for any detective to mo-
lest them.
This is the republic of Honduras,
one of the least advanced of the
states in South or Cen tral America.
Honduras, indeed, is curious mixture
of jungles and gigantic forest of CO.
Goa and rubber trees, of bugs, vam-
pires, snakes and crocodiles-of all
manner of things that creep and
crawl and sting and bite; a region
where life in the daytime is mock
cry, and at night one feels as though
sleeping in red pepper.
Here. in every hamlet and city, are
to be found men from different lands
mostly outlaws from their own coun'
try. Chicago, Boston, New York and
Philadelphia all furnish their quota.
England, France, Italy and even far
away Russia have their share. They
make no attempt at concealment.

wear, and go along about their busi-
ness as if the laws of their own coun-
try had not declared them outcasts.

"The agrarians and some butchers

WHERE AMERICANS MAY WIN
Portugal a Great Field for American
Enterprise, Says Our Min
lister There

There is a great field in Portugal for
American enterprise, writes John N.
Irwin, United States minister to that
kingdom, in Success. Our manufac-
turers really ought to "prospect'' in
that little-known country. In the first
place they are made most welcome.
The king and the queen, both young
and truly regal speak English perfect
ly and are among our warmest admir-
ers. They reflect the sentiment of
their people. In the second place,
American goods are needed, and the
progressive part of the popuIati ton
would welcome them as a means of ad-
vancing the country:s prosperity
English-made machinery now used
there is of old type and not up to date.
In Lisbon the old style of transporta-
tion is being changed to the electric
system. While English capital is con-
ducting the enterprise, every bit of ma
terlal, from the smallest bolt to the
modern cars, is of American make
Portugal sends US cork, and we send

opinin the balance of trade now in our

OBJECTED TO ANY DICTATION.
Gov. Taylor of Tennessee EffectuaIly
Ended the Interference
of Legislators.

Gov. Bob Taylor, of Tennessee, was
just exactly opposite to Gov. Allen,
with as tender a heart as woman.
and the way he pardoned out con-
victs was something awful. He was
waited upon by committee of the
legislature, who very fatty and in
no uncertain way told him that this
WHOLESALE parooning must STOP"
"Gov'ner; Bob looked at the COM
mittee, tapped bell, asked for his
pardon clerk, and when he came, said: {:
snake out pardons for every man
in the penitentiary."
The clerk bowed and withdrew.
Then the governor looked at the COM
mittee, who were staring as if they
thought he was going mad.
''Gentlemen," he said, finally, "I am
governor of Tennessee, and if this
committee or any other ever again
seeks to interfere with my constitu-
tional right to pardon I'll sign every
one Of those pardons which the clerk
is making out. Good morning."

QUEER CASE OF cH1NAMAr.
Islsl try. Although an Amer
lean Citizen.

A peculiar question has arisen in
the scaseEof Chinaman, Ian B. Dew,
resident of Staunton, Va Dew had
been in this country about Is. years,
had accumulated considerable prop
erty in the Virginia town and was
well regarded by the citizens there
Som Some time ago he took out natural
ization papers and supposed himself
citizen Of the United States. .:.#
He decided later to visit his home
in China. and made application to the
state department. st for. passport,
which was sent him, the officials not
| recognizing his nationality by his
name:" With the passport in his pos
session Dew sailed away, and in
course OF time returned by way of
Canada. At Montreal he was in
formed by the United States Chinese
inspectors that he could not enter the
United States, as he had not complied
with the law by taking with him an
official certificate showing that he
was entitled to return -
DeW's wife and children are still at
Staunton, and while his admission in
to the United States would be tech
meal violation of law, Assistant Secre-
tary Taylor has ordered the United
States inspectors in Canada to per-
nit him to return to his home His
case will be passed upon by the Off
cials here
The cases of nine other Cinnamon
OF Jacksonville Fla, have been
brought to the attention of the de-
partment. They had been residents
of Jacksonville nine years and had
accumulated considerable property in
the laundry business. Some days ago a
United States marshal arrested them
on the ground that they were illegal
ly in thisi country. The Cinnamon
said their certificates had been lost,
and as they could not produce them
they were thrown in jail Many cit
liens of Jacksonville have protested
against the action of the marshal.
The department has had a number
OF cases recently of Chinese being ar
rested without sufficient cause, and in
some cases it is thought the arrests
were made to enable the arresting Of
ficer to get free ride to San Fran
cisco and return in case they were or
dered deported. These suspected
cases will be very carefully looked in
to hereafter by the Washington au-
thorities.

}$z The Germans were slow in adopt

peror has taken it under his pro-
tecting wing and it is expected to
become the fad in Berlin. a number
of persons connected with the Ber4

with it, and there is good deal of
enterprise and readiness to speculate
among the courtiers on the Spree
More than a year ago the kaiser's
master of the horse inquired of
well-known carriage manufacturer in
the capital if he could supply him
with motor cars for the conveyance
of visitors from the station to his
majesty's country seat, at Wildpark,
near Potsdam-the new palace. Since
then the imperial post Office has Sc
cured some heavy vans propelled on

Too Ignorant for Kansas.

A Kansas man en- route to the Paris
exposition declares that the only time
he ever really lost his nerve was when
the sailors on the. ship commenced to-
load up the lifeboats with water and
biscuits. He says that he didn't know
that this was done once week in, or

LILLIAN RUSSELL A.cONVERT.
Announces to. Her Friends That She
Has. Become q Faith Curist
After Much Study.

s After long and diligent study of
the religion Lillian Russell has an
nounced to her friends that she is. an
out-and-out faith curist. She does not
subscribe to- the doctrines of Mrs.
Eddy, of the Christian Science cult,
IN their entirety, but so strongly is
she convinced OF. the power of the mind
over the tendency of the body to be-
come disorderly that she is almost
hoping for a severe attack of illness
in order that she may give the the
ory a test. >:n,g,. .. -. i....:.'
At the outset it. may be said that
Miss Russell has never been seriously
i'll in her life and that her health at
the present time is SO good that she
is almost .ashamed of herself. 1t is
hard, indeed, for a woman to work as
many as two hours, a day on hot.
stuffy stage and be unable to produce
a single pain. Even on days when
there is a matinee Miss Russell retains
her scandalous freedom from bodily
aches and pains. ..,I
II have noticed, however," she said
the other day, that when I get head
aches [ am able to get rid OF them
by simply concentrating my mind on
the proposition that I have no head
ache. =,
''Of course don't believe that could
| wish myself a new arm should I have
one cut off by Broadway car. nor do
[ believe that ely mind would be strong
enough to equip me with a new lung
should; | fall a victim to the ravages
of consumption. do not go to those
lengths. But I do say that we are too
prone to drug ourselves and that the
mind is in such supreme control that
the ordinary ills of life can be cured
by thought concentration.
This is not new belief with me,'
continued Miss Russell. 81 have had
as much trouble as any woman, but
have found, all through my life, that
by persistently concentra ting my mind
on the bright side of a dark situation
that every cloud has it's silver lining,
you know-I have been able to live
quite placidly. If women could only
be brought to the realizat ton of the
power of the mind we would have more
healthy and happy members of our
SEX"
Miss Russell is not the only advocate
OF the faith cure in the profession.
Many actresses go to greater lengths
IN their advocacy of the cult than the
prlma Gonna. But it is news at this
time that this beautiful woman. with
n inn
ceslde at her disposal. should come
out in advocacy Of the theory of the
superiority of the mind over matter.

SPOONS FROM EVERY HOTEL
A Houeskeeper's Fad That Aston
ished Il Party of Roaming
BicycIists of Chicago.

In the northwestern part of Chicago
is a little farm, removed from the
main road over which the trolley cars
rumble, and almost hidden by wide
clover fields, says the Tribune of that
city. 1t is not a regular stopping
place for anyone going by on the
main road, for no one would suspect
that anything like civilization lurked
among the tall weeds on that prairie.
Purely by accident some bicyclists
stopped near the farmhouse, little,
tumble-down structure with dilap-
idated shed attached to it, owing to
a bicycle mishap to one of the party.
Inquiry for a drink of water
brought to earth some of the most
peculiar artificial we'll water ever
drank by mortal man, but the sur
prise came when some honey was
brought out. The spoons offered to
the party were undoubtedly silver,
and of the best. They bore the in
scription of all the big hotels of the
city, including the Grand Pacific,
Palmer house, fremont, Revere and
a number of others.
Some one suggested ahat they were
souvenir spoons, but just how they
came to be where they were discov-
cred by the bicycling party is mys-
terry.
