FxDarf Evidence.
RE

A man who knew the deceased was
on the stand at Cincinnati, and Cor
oner's Clerk Fred Dreihs was taking
down his evidence, which DR.. Schwab
was buSily endeavorlng to extract.
The witness had seen the deceased a
few days before death, and was de-
scribing infinitely all that occurred.

Never mind anything that is not
important" interrupted Coroner

Artistic Taste of Birds.

The social Weaver-birdS of south AT.
RIGA build their nests in colonies I'M
der common, umbrella-like roof,
probably woven for defensive purposes
against the intrusion of snakes.
The gardener-bird constructs it's
highly decorated nest with adjoining
ornamental spaces, apparently for the
purpose of furnishing an attractive
meeting place for social intercourse
with her fellows. The spotted collar
bird-a cousin of the crOw-prepares
its artistic bower, a sort of assembly
room, Ornamented with shells, peb-
bles, and other bright colored bric-a-
braC, where in due time festive gath
erings are neid, and much apparent
mutual admiration attends strutting
and dancing of the males.
The lapwing also carries out its
taste for social intercourse to the eX-
tent of holding dancing parties. At
these the birds, who live in pairs, are
joined by a third, and all three, keep
ing step, begin rapid march, utter
Ing resonant drumming notes in time
with their movements. AS the march
ceases the leader stands erect, while
the others bow before it, and the WIS.,
itor returns to its own quarters, to
receive a return call from one of the
others, when the performance is re-
peated.

They Don't Like Cold Water.

The heaIthiness of Chinese cities has

people to the universal habit of fan.
ming, practice which is said to keep
the atmosphere in constant circulation
How far this explanation can be deem
ed to suffice we must leave experts to
decide, but so far as a contaminated
water supply is concerned we believe
that the real secret of immunity from
it's evil effects lies in the universal GUS
tom of boiling all water intended for
drinking.
AS matter of fact, the Chinese new.

erage, which in a true sense may be
said to cheer but not inebriate, is tea,

induces diseases which might easily be
avoided by a judicious system of out
ward application.

Won Martens Foresight.

Professor Frederick Won Martens,
who holds the chair of international
law in the st. Petersburg university,
and is a frequent representative Of
the car in legal councils of moment,
is not a Russian citizen, nor even a
Russian subject, but a philosophic
German. He is a notable linguist and
author, and at the Venezuela arbitra-
ton conference in Paris, where he
read the decision of the commission,
he had a pleasant fashion of address
ing each delegate in his own language.
One of the English jurists wondered
how the professor was able to keep up
his knowledge of SO many modern
tongues.
The professor replied: at is self
defense. You see, in case I lose my
chair L wish to be prepared for any
offer you foreigners may make"

ZangwiII's Estimate of Fame.

Israel Zangwill, the Jewish novelist,
wrote his first book when he was a
student at London university. The
effort occupied four evenings-he al
ways works in spurts-and he and a
friend paid 80 to have the tale pub
lished in pamphlet form. 1t sold we'll
at a penny a copy! One little shop in
Whitechapel alone sold 600 copies,
and it even got on to Smiths book
stalls. ZangWill's advice to WGuld-be
authors shows that he has not made
name without suffering. He says:
'If you are blessed with talent, great
industry and cOnceit, 1t is possible, by
dint of shaving day and night for
years during the flower of your youth,
to attain to fame infinitely less
widespread that that of prize fight

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Texas Supreme Court Holds That Sale of State Lands Included Mineral.

Austin, Tex, June 26.-The Supreme Court today decided that where lands classified as agricultural lands belong ing to the State had been sold as such to actual settlers the State has no right to the mineral deposits in such lands; that the minerals under the land belong to the purchaser and that it is not necessary for the purchaser to make an affidavit when he makes application to purchase such lands to the effect that to the best of his knowl- edge the lands contain no mineral de- posits. This decision settles the ques- tion of the States right to minerals on school and university lands. The case was brought by August Schendell against Land Commissioner Charles Rogan for writ of mandamus to con- pei the land commissioner to issue a patent and the Governor to sign the patent to fractional section of school land in Fort Bend County This ques- tion involved millions of acres of min eral lands in anu around the Beaumont oil fields. The court holds that the State has no claim whatever to the minerals.

last daylight spark has been bought, as also has a new black suit of clothing with white shirt and tie. All that re- mains of the preliminarles are the trim ming of Miller's beard and the refusal of the governor to interfere with the or ders.
 Miller was visited yesterday by Father Kennedy, who was engaged with the con demned man for some length of time The father will visit him again today and will accompany him to the gallows on FBday. It was stated yesterday that Father Kennedy and Miller were not able to agree on all religious questions but 1t was the latter's claim that his prayers had been said from the time of childhood, and he would die unafraid to trust his soul to God.
 Alonzo Williams, the negro who will be executed on the same day Miller is to be hanged, is one of the happiest prison CTS in the jail, if his manner, talk and hysterical appearance can be used as an indication of his real feelings. He was anxious to talk yesterday, and told oi the certainty of his reception in heaven by the God on the throne.
 His walk to the gallows will take place one hour after that of Miller.
