him $1,000 with which to pay the expenses
of the mountain men and that he and
Charles Finley were raising the army.
Detective Jenkins of Lexington, Sheriff
Henry BoSworth and Deputy Frank Ro-
derS told OF Powers arrest the night he
fed from Frankfort disguised as a SOL
der. Walter Bronston, County Attorney
for Fayette, said when he heard Powers
had left Frankfort and was coming to-
ward Lexington he got Thomas Cromwell,
newspaper reporter, to swear out a war
rant for Powers and Captain John Davis,
charging GoebePs murder. The warrants

CLASH OF FEDERAL AND
PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENTS
Appointment Of Californian as Brit
ish Columbia Fisheries Inspec-
for Causes Tro11h1a

VICTORIA, B. c., Oct. 17.rFriction has
arisen between the Federal and Provincial
Governments over the appointment by the
latter OF J. P. Babcock of California as
Fisheries Inspector for the province. The
Federal Government controls the sea fish
cries, which include the salmon in the riv-
ers, but the provinces have been disputing
this Recently the salmon canneries COM
planned that the Federal Government was
not paying sufficient attention to protection
and propagation of the salmon, although
the British Columbia fisheries contribute
an immense revenue to the Federal Gov
ernment.
The provincial authorities were induced
to appoint Mr.. Babcock to investigate the
fisheries with a view of establishing
hatcheries. AS soon as this became known
a protest was sent from Ottawa, the Fed
eral authorities, it is said, not looking with
favor on the appointment of Mr.. Bah
cock.
The feeling seems to prevail here that
Mr.. Babcock. If allowed access to the
spawning grounds, would accede to the
requisition of the United States authori-
ties for British Columbia salmon ova
which Ottawa has sturdily refused, espe-
cially as the Americans permit the use of
traps to the detriment of Canadian fish
cries

OFFICIALS IN INDIA

Con ,ence Will Be Held to Consider
Plans for Benefit Of Manu-
faCfn1.A,~c

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE Indian Secre-
tary, Lord George Hamilton, and the
Viceroy Of India, Lord Curzon of Kedle-
ston, have made arrangements for a con-
ferenee of Indian railroad engineers at
Calcutta in December to consider a stan
dardization OF locomotives, such as ex-
lists in the United States.
The primary object of the authorities
is to help the British manufacturers and
prevent future railroad contracts from
different parts of the empire going to for
eign firms. British makers of locomo
tives claim that If the American method
of using standard types could be intro
duced in India and South Africa it would
enable them TO expand their powers of
production so as to enable them to meet
increasing demands and fill orders which
are now going to the United States and
Germany.

children. but in the list the name of Le-
Roy C. Snow, the reputed favorite son of
pear; neither does the name of his
mother, Minnie Jensen Snow, the young
est wife, with whom the decedent was liv-
ing at the time of his death.
When attention was called to the onis-
sion in the petition of the two names
noted above, ex-Judge Bowman, attorney
for the special administrator, said the
omission was unintentional and was prob
ably due to a mistake made by the type
writer in copying the list. The omission,
he said, would not in any way affect the
rights Of these two heirs.

Seeking the Vanishing Lobster.

MOTEREY, Oct. 1.-THE United States
Fish Commission boat Albatross is in port
examining into the advisability of plant
ing Holsters in Monterey Bay. Eight or ten
years ago the experiment was made but
was unsuccessful, as up to the present
time no increase has been found. Several
of the original Holsters were caught by
local fishermen, but even these have not
been seen for several years, and it is be-
lieved they have migrated to some place
better adapted to their needs The scien-
lists aboard the Albatross are trying to
learn If any of the original Holsters vet
remain in the bay and will make their re-
port accordingly.

AN ELEPHANTS SKIN.

of the coarse outer part Of the skin.
Then a razor was employed to slice
OF the tender part that was to be
transferred to the wounded elephant.
This was taken OF in strips about six
inches long and one inch wide. The
strips were pressed upon the wounded
surface and held down by great bands
Of plaster. In exactly six days the new
skin was found by the doctors to be
firmly adhering to Bellies shoulder.
Another elephant was then called in,
and some pieces of his skin were re-
moved in the manner already de-
scribed. BY this time the raw sur
face was so greatly reduced in size
that Belle began to show signs OF re-
lief from her worst symptoms. Ger
tain hopes of her recovery were en-
tertained from that time. Every week
a new elephant will be called upon to
yield up some of his skin for the sake
of his suffering sister. This will be
continued until the wound is entirely
covered with skin. The elephants
make the sacrifice in a cheerful spirit,
and it is calculated that fifteen will be
required before matters are set right.
It is confidently expected that this
operation will prove an epoch-making
triumph in the history Of pachyderma-
tous neutrality-suspicious. Express.

We have all heard Of Skin being
grated on to human beings, but of all
wonderful surgical achievements that
of grating q square yard OF skin on
to an injured elephant is certainly the
most wonderful on record. This lat
est triumph Of animal surgery was
performed on a circus elephant named
Belle, which. sustained a painful acci-
dent. Just as she was getting out OF
a railroad a it received a sudden
jolt, owing to the brake failing to
act properly. The elephant was thrown
down and struck her shoulder heavily
on a small iron cage that was standing
near. The skin was partially torn OF
and generally lacerated rel a space
of quite one square yard in extent.
Inflammation set in and vas followed
by considerable fever, and the ele-
plant, which was the more valuable
because she had a calf, was in grave
danger of losing her life. The special
lists decided that a wholesale opera
ton in skin grating was the only
thing that would do the elephant any
good, but an Elephants skin is as
thick as a plank, so it was not an
easy undertaking. The great opera
ton was undertaken forthwith in the
menagerie hospital, and Bellies own
son was the first elephant selected to
supply new pieces of skin. The young
animals skin was peculiarly suitable
for the purpose, as it is tender, yet heal
thy, and vigorous. Moreover, as he is
growing, he will have plenty of new
skim, and he will not miss a. little
purloined at the present time. Belle
was placed on the ground in the oper-
ating theater and secured with heavy
chains to immovable posts. The wound
in her shoulder was carefully washed
with the usual an%tiseptic fluids. At
the same time an antiseptic spray was
kept continually playing in the air.
The new skin was taken. from the
young elephant in those places where
he appears to have a great deal more
than he needs. Cocaine was literally
applied where the cuts were. to be
made. A heavy knife was used to cut

A WIRELESS
TORPEDO

For some time experiments have
been carried out with a new torpedo
invented by a young electrician, Mr.
Cecil Varicas of Weymouth, England.
The most salient characteristic OF TINS
new Weapon is that its passage n
course through the water can be d.
rected and controlled either from the
shore or the coming tower OF a battle
ship. AS is we'll known, the course OF
the present Whitehead torpedo Is
maintained by a wonderfully complex
appliance known as the gyroscope,
fitted within the weapon. The cost OF
the Whitehead torpedo is about $lO.-
600, and although. its destructive quail
tiles are so tremendous, yet its hances
Of striking the target are very remote,
especially IL the object at which 1t Is
fired happens to be moving. II 1t
should miss the target the projectile
simply continues on its journey. until
its propelling force is exhausted, when
it drifts at the mercy Of the waves.
< But the difficulty has, 1t is believed,
at last been surmounted by the inven-
ton of Mr.. varicas. By means Of his
device the torpedo, while travelling at
express speed through the water, and
several hundreds of feet away from
the point Of discharge. without any
wire or other connection, may be con-
trolled as expeditiously and as easily
as If an operator were on board to
manipulate its diminutive rudder. How
is this accomplished? Simply by means
Of wireless telegraphy.
Externally the torpedo is exactly the
same as the Whitehead projectile. The
dimensions are precisely the same, and
the propeller is Of equal caliber. The
interior, however, is vastly different.

SINGLE LIFE NOT LONELY.

The mans heart may be restless and
unsatisfied, but that is not always the
chief evil of life in the masculine
heart. The lack Of power to mend
and make-the inability to, produce an
atmosphere of home-the wretched-
ness of being i'll with only stranger
women, timid Of approach and chary
Of soothing and smoothing touch-the
want Of insight as to what ails dis
comforting trifles, really make one
feel that the old maid has greatly the
advantage in the single-handed COM
Lat with life's ills.
A woman is never alone while She
has a w~ork-basket and her knitting,
and she must be desperately Ill If she
cannot tell the dullest attendant how
to shake up her pillows and make q
cup of tea. The physical man, In
hours Of distress, cries out for a COM
passionating hand, no matter what his
mental strength may be; the lonely
woman knows just what she wants
and can find the right spot for an
aching head, says the New Yorl
Evening Post.
