Baron Won Helleben, the Germsu am

day. lie said he had not received any
word from Der foihtnnle --edkKaP g-Jrdt.-
word from Berlin on the receipt OF the
important letter from the German lega-
tion at Pekin described by Mr.. Fowler.
AS is always the case with Chinese ed-
vices, a discrepancy appears Immediately
upon "A comparison OF the German and
the Japanese advices. The German re-
port says the attack stopped on the 18th;
the Japanese report places the cessation
Of firing on the nth. The State depart
rnent officials believe this is easily ex-
planned by consideration OF the differ
ences between the Christian and Chinese
calendar.
Another curious statement, however Is
contained In the japanese report to the
effect that six legations were still being
defended on the 22nd. This Is in apparent
conflict with Mr.. Conger's last reported
statement that the legationers were lin
British legation under continued sho; and
she'll" etc.
It was understood that Mr.. Conger meant
that all the legationers were in the British
legation, though this might have been a
strained interpretation OF his message.
and the various legations mentioned in the
japanese dispatch may still be peopled
Military men here are amazed at the
statement that the legations successfully
resisted nearly months incessant shell
ling by sen battalions OF Chinese. That
any trace OF brick building should re-
main after such bombardment is utterly
uncomfortable by them

says that not long ago hawk caught
fish in Long Island sound, but while Hy-
ing with 1t to the woods to devour II al
leisure the fish foundered from tbs
hawks hold and dropped into a farmers
yard, where big mastif was sittinsL
The dog caught the fish as It came dowA.
and the hawk swooped after It, but tho
dog turned and ran into the house, plsc-
ing his trophy, yet alive, at the feet IT
his mistress. 1t proved to be a larsS
bluefish, and 1t was served up that night
to an appreciative family. The dog ewes
since has been seen to sit in the sans

AN AFFECTING
SCENE IN COURT,
Letters Read in Trial
Brought Tears to the
Eyes of the
CIarkes.

| Pittsburg, Pa, April 25..-With
tears streaming down her face over
modification at hearing extracts
from letter written to her hus-
band imploring him to come back
to her. Ester Bartlett Clarke, the
former Washington society belle,
sat in the witness box of Common
Pleas Court, No. 3 yesterday. She
beseeched her husbands attorney,
Harry L. Goehring, not to read
parts of the letter aloud, and when
he refused, she appealed to Colonel
S. A. Worthington to help her, but
he was powerless. Her paroxvsm
| of grief and the pleasant recollec.
tons awakened by the letter caus-
ed her estranged husband to bury
his face in his hands and weep with
her. The sobs of both were per-
fectly audible in all parts of the
court room. Attorney Goehring
had to pause in order to allow Mrs.
Clarke to recover her composure.
Mrs. Clarke tried to assume her de-
faint attitude, but it was weak
attempt, and she was still crying
when she left the stand.
Attorney Goehrlng first produced
copy of letter written by Mr..
Clarke to Mrs. Clarke. It was Mrs.
Clarke's letter that caused the
pyrotechnics.
"Must have this all read to me?
saked Mrs. Clarke sis it neces-
sary that all these things that
passed between husband and wife
be read?"
Here Mrs. Clarke broke complete
ly down, sobbing bitterly. Mr..
Clarke, who was seated back of
Attorney Goehring, also began to
cry.
Attorney Goehring continued his
questioning.
Ibid you not implore him tocome
back?"
II did," was the sobbing reply.
"Did you not say that the old
love had come back?"
~ did,"
Mr.. Goehring read "My conduct
in New York was heartless, and
wonder why you had not killed me
there. My flirting ended in New
York, and anyone that says differ
ent lies. Everyone's life is wreck
ed. Father is nearly crazy
"Did you say that?' asked Mr..
Goehring.
Il did"
odd you say you were afraid
and ashamed to 60 homer"
Il do not think so; l should not
have said so"
The letter continued by saying:
II treated you damnably, and III
be true wife,.
"What is this word?" asked Mr..
Goehring, pointing to the letter.
The witness studied a moment
and then said: "That is bum
and she repeated two or three
times, "bum, bum, bum"
Mr.. Goehring: "You say here
"Let me come to the ranch and we
will bum together. When did he
have ranch, Mrs. Clarke?"
II knew he had been born on one,
but l did not know WHERE
"You say in that letter: It has
all come back. That love that l
had at first had all come back"
Mrs. Clarke: Eyes, l wrote it,"
Mrs. Clarke was still on the stand
when court adjourned,

Through many an anxious day.
And in his place they deity slipped

congress from his district, and the poll
ticians had about conceded that he would
be elected, when his church people found
out that his prospects were good and set
out to defeat him. One of the most sin
gular campaigns in the history of Ameri-
can politics resulted. All Of Mr.. Beech
er's personal and church friends worked
like beavers against him and voted solid
ly for his opponent, with the result that
he was defeated by narrow margin.
The attitude of the church people was
that they could not afford to lose their
minister, and they won the fight.
