that and stand up. You don't dare

The little man made no effort to check
the storm of invectives, says the Min

the woman more, and finally she turn

cred, including a dozen gamins, who
hooted the large woman. She tried to
make her way out, but could not. A
policeman broke into the circle, the
crowd separated and the woman pass

''Smokes" calculated the little fell

1t transpires that few weeks ago
when Calamity Jane passed through
Minneapolis en- route to Buffalo, where
she was to be exhibited as a famous
western character, she stopped off for
Il few hours in this city. The young
newspaper man desired an interview.
1t was true, of course, he could make
the woman tell hair.raising tales of
life in the woolly west without seeing
her, but ne wanted to get the local
color into it, and then he had a sordid
desire to see the real terror herself,
and maybe to shake her hand. SO he
hazarded Il try.
With 'Calamity" was Mrs. Brake,
the authoress, who got Jane out of her
old haunts for exhibition at the Buff
falo expo" Knowing newspaper
stories about Jane were at that time,
Just prior to her exhibition, strictly
apropos, she devised a means of getting
the newspaper man into the woman's
presence.
"You see, explained Mrs. Brake to
the reporter, lone of the young men on
a paper out in Helena interviewed
Jane. She got mad ut him because he
didn't smoke. She threw satchel at
him, knocked off his hat and scratched
his face. Then the reporter wrote
some bad things about her. I'll intro
duce you to her as my cousn.''

Mining Observation-Disclosures and
Shooting ARRAYS.

COLUMBIA, S. c., April 1.-THE verdict
oe the coroner's jury to-day that John
j. Griffin came TO his death yesterday at
the hands of Barnard Evans. There have
been no further developments. Evans is
in Jail and remains silent His brother,
the former Governor and uncle, General NJ.
T. Gary, are here.
w. r. Muller, a druggist, testified that he
had heard shot. and that it was fully
fifteen minutes before Evans came into his;
store to telephone for a physician. He did
rot connect Evanss visit with the report
of the revolver, but noticed that Evans was
excited. He asked Evans what was the
matter. The latter did not disclose the
serious nature of the affair. but insisted
that Muller go with him upstairs. There
were customers in the store, and Muller
declined, not suspecting the gravity of the
situation. A few minutes later Evans re-
turned and again telephoned for a physi-
clan.
DR.. Robert Earle who held the post NOR
tenn, testified that the ball must have been
fired at a distance of a few feet from Grif-
fin. There were powder marks on the back
Of Griffin's right forearm. and there were
bruises on each side of his face. on his nose,
on his forehead and under his chin. The
evidence of DR.. Gibbs confirmed the report
OF the dramatic scene between himself and
Evans when the latter was informed that
Griffin was dying. Other evidence corrob-
Grated the main story that there were no
eyewitnesses, and that in the room were
indications of drinking.

WHAT TO DO WITH HIM
MANY PEOPLE WORRYING OVER
THE FUTURE OF AGUINALDO.
All Sorts of suggestions Made to the
President and Secretary of War
Transport Arrives.
,ec,a, to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 14.-All sorts Of
suggestions have been made TO the Pres
ident with regard to the disposition OF
Aguinaldo. They cover a wide range of
action and are of a most diverse charac-
ter. The majority of them undoubtedly
emanate from opponents of the administra-
tion's policy in the Philippines, and their
suggestions are of a most sarcastic ma
ture. One writer suggests that Aguin-
aldo be given his freedom and a bounty
for his vigorous resistance of American
authority; another suggests that Aguinaldo
take General Macarthur and General
Funston on a tour of the Philippines as
exhibits of the policy of the United States,
and still another writer suggests that
Aguinaldo be brought to this country and
exhibited in dime museums, the proceeds
to be used in paying the expenses of the
war.
Many other suggestions are made which
are not quite so humane in character as
these. They contemplate different means
OF Furnishing the insurgent leader for the
great trouble he has caused the United
States government. Various methods of
putting him to death are suggested, and
several of the correspondents suggest
styles of torture which would do credit to
the Spanish inquisition. A favorable meth
cd of exterminating Aguinaldo, evidently
of Southern origin, is by burning him at
the stake So far no one has suggested
boiling oil or molten lead as an easy mode
OF punishment, but pretty much every
thing else has been suggested The Pres
ident's mail, as we'll as that of the secre-
tary of war, is heavy with communications
bearing on this subject.

WILL GO INTO POLITICS.
Building Trades Unions to Organize
an Independent Labor Party.

NEW YORK, April 14.-For the first time
since they were organized the principal
building trades unions in this city decided
to-day. TO go into politics and TO start an
independent labor party. This decision
was reached at a meeting of delegates
from twenty-one unions represented in the
Board of Walking Delegates. held this
afternoon. Philip Wiensemer, of the
Amalgamated Society of Plumbers and
Gas Filters. presided
The meeting was called on account of
the recent decisions of the Court of APP
peals declaring the prevailing rate of
wages law and the state stone-dressng
law unconstitutional. These laws, the
most radical Of their kind that have yet
been passed in the interest of labor, cost
the labor unions many thousands of dol
lars in carrying on the agitation in their
favor; and their annulment is admitted TO
be a severe blow TO labor. Those who con-
Quoted the agitation now say that the city
officials who were supposed to be most
friendly to labor did not stand by the labor
unions as they were expected to do and
that their professions of friendship were
not carried out in practice.

Michigan Board of Health Assured
There VIII BE No Spread of the
Much Feared Pest.

CHICAGO. April H.-A dispatch to the
Record Herald from Ann Arbor, Mich,
says: "Dr. Victor c. Vaughan, dean of the
medical department and one of the most
noted bacteriologists in the country, ap
peared before the State Board of Health
yesterday and practically acknowledged
that the case Of Student Charles b. Hare
is one of bubonic plague He assured the
board that there would be no spread of the
disease, as all precautions had been taken
to prevent it, and the student will recover.
DR.. Novy, who attends Hare, wears a germ
proof rubber garment that covers him from
head to foot, with two little eye holes for
sight whenever he goes into the contagious
ward, and he also injects preventive doses
of serum into himself.
"Dr. Vaughan told the board that Hare
contracted the disease by an accident al
most identical with that which occurred in
Vienna in 1898. Professor Nothnajle and
his assistant, Marisch, were conducting
archaeological experiments on bubonlc
plague bacilli. Barsch caught the disease
and died, as did also DR.. Muller, who at
tended him."
