A Japanese Paradox.

Yokohama, February 26, via
San Francisco, March 17.-The
business depression continues and
predictions are freely made of a
general crash among japanese
hrms and industrial enterprises.
There does not exist here, how
ever, the general financial con
dltlon which leads to parics, bus

clusively on cash basis, while
the credit system is almost un

absolute lack Of capital where

of industrial Development initia-
ted after the China Japanese war.
1t is beginning to be realized that
Japan should have used the Chi
nese indemnity in this direction.
instead of cXpendjng it for in
creased armament. A curious
paradox exists. Owing to its
habits of economy Japan is rel
atively one of the richest nations.

What She Thought.

Uncle John is one of these old
chaps who are gwen to the use OF
quotations in their every day
talk, and he came one day, after
several years of absence, to visit
his relatives. He was quite un-
expected. After he had greeted
his brother and his sister in. law,
he inquired for the baby, Margie.
"She is upstairs taking a nap,'

So Uncle John went up. The

ALMOST A FIRE.
Greenyille Night Police Prevent
Big Incendiary Fire.

Greenville, March 17-At 10
O'Clock last night Policemen
Dawson and Tucker, while max
ing their rounds examining store
doors to see if they were locked,
the nightly work of policemen,
noticed the curtsins of the store
of Morris Switzer pulled down.
1t being the first time they ever
noticed them down, it excited
their suspicion and they went to
an alley, back of the store, and
by looking through the transom
saw a dim light in the store. The
property belongs to Cauble &
Tate, and the police called up
Capt Cauble, chief of the fire
department, and also Chief of
Police Kennedy. By looking
through the transom il was seen
that the light was under the
counter, the gas not burning. A
policeman was sent to the home
of Switzer and brought him to the
store, which he opened. The
police and Switzer went into the
store and found under one coun.
ter a lighted candle, burned down
to couple of inches, fastened in
a paper box, around the candle,
a large number of matches, waste
paper and the floor thoroughly
saturated with kerosene oil. Had
the discovery Of the conditions
been delayed half an hour the
fire would have had full headway,
and, as a stiff wind was blowing,
the whole block would have been
destroyed.
The Switzer store is in the GEN.
trail block on Main street, one of
the finest in the city. On one
side of the store is large grocery,
on the other side a drug store,
two doors below another drug
store, etc. Switzer keeps large
clothing and shoe store and mems
furr ishings. Switzer stated that
he locked up the store himself at
II o'clock, and that it was all
right when he left. The doors and
windows of the store wore locked
and there was no possible way to
get into the store. There was no
evidence that either windows or
doors had been tampered with.
SwitZer refused to answer any
questions, and was arrested and
taken to the station house and is
now prisoner waiting a prelimi
nary examination. A family lived
over the store and the charge
will be arson.
So many fires recently have
excited public feeling, and the
excitement today is intense,
Switzer will be taken before a

Lynched in Tennessee.

Nashville, Tenn March 17-At
Tiptonville, in Lake county last
night a mob hanged Ike Fitzger-
aid to tree near the court house.
The negroe was charged with as
sault on white girl, Miss Nina
Davenport. l9 years old, and a
trial jury had just reported that
they could not agree and had been
discharged. A different verdict
had been expected, and a mob
seized the prisoner before the
sheriff could hurry him from the
court room and hanged him TO the
first tree. The crime for which
Fitzgerald suffered was committed
several weeks ago and the banks
Of Reel Foot Lake, near Tlpton-
vile. Miss Davenport while pass
ing lonely spot was assaulted
by a negroe who was mending
fishing nets and the pursuing
posse arrested Fitzgerald as the
guilty person.

Killed by Her Pet Dog.

New York, March 17.-Mrs
Carrie Cobus, living on West
18th street, met death in a
shocking manner tonight, be-
ing killed by her dog. Mrs
Cobus, her husband, her son
and her mother lived together.
Mrs Cobus was 80 years old,
subject to epileptic fits. Her
constant companion was a fox
terrier of unusual intelligence.
Mrs Elizabeth Broadhead, Mrs.
Cobus' mother, says her daugh-
ter went out into the kitchen
about Z o'clock. A few mo-
ments later Mrs Broadhoad
heard the dog barking excited
ly. The mother ran out and
found her daughter lying on
the floor. She knew it was an
epileptic attack, and dashing a
pitcher of water into her daugh-
ter's face she ran into the hall
and screamed for help.
Philip Rockefeller, living
nearby, heard her and ran to
her assistance They went into
the room where Mrs Cobus lay
and there saw a horrifying spec
tacle. The pet terrier seeing
its mistress in agony appears to
have gone mad. He flew at
the prostrate woman as she
wriEhed on the floor and re-
peatedly attacked her, burying
its, teeth in her throat and

When Rockefeller tried to tear
the maddened brute away it

terrible tenacity. He finally
got the animal loose. 1t then
attacked the mother and the
man, but they beat it off.
A physician was summoned,
but Mrs Cobus bled to death.
The dog disappeared in the
streets.
