Railroad Accidents Rare In Mexico


Railway accidents down in Mexico
are very serious affairs for those who
are responsible for them. They do moi
exactly chain their directors to the
cowcatchers on their trains, but they
have law which makes a fatal acct
dent on railroad train punishable with
death to the person or persons through
whose ignorance or earelessness such
an accident occurs. This explains the
sudden disappearance Of the engineer
and fireman of the latest wrecked train
down there and the threat to lynch
them lest they might escape across the
border before being overtaken by the
officers of the law. 1t is superfuous to
remark that railroad accidents are of
comparatively rare occurrence in Mexi,

Queer Dilemma of an Irish Paper.
There is some humor in the English
character. For months the British gov
eminent has been directing its postof-
flee to steal and destroy the copies of
The United Irishman for which the
said postoffice had accepted money for
delivery. Three times the British po-
lice have raided the shops of news
vendors to seize all copies of the paper
they could find, and time after time
vigilant constables and detectives have
entered news agents shops in Irish
country towns and even in Dublin to
intimidate our agents, and now the
British museum has come down on us.
1t wants a complete file of our paper.
When we received the demand, the
humor of the situation struck us so
much we felt unable to reply. This
has irritated the museum people, who
now solemnly threaten us with the
terrors of the British law for not for
warding them our highly "seditious'
literature. If the British museum will
arrange with the British government
not to steal the papers in TRANSITION
this occasion only-we shall be happy
to forward 1t a file.-Dublin United

THE MUSK OK IN SWEDENi

In Sweden the industry of raising the
musk OK for its fleece has been started
on a large scale, says the New York
Journal.
After making many unsuccessful at
tempts the Kolkhon arctic expedition,
which several seasons ago returned to
Sweden from Greenland succeeded in
there capturing alive two calves Of the
musk OK, male and female, and in
bringing them to Sweden in good con-
dition. In this way the musk OK indus
try started.
At present there is large herd of
these animals, which are being cared
for on farm in northern Sweden,
where all conditions are apparently
suitable for their development.
The musk OK (Ovibas moschatus) is a
singular animal, in appearance resem-
bling both an OK and sheep, as the
scientific name, "Ovibas," implies.
Its introduction into Sweden will be
of great benefit to that country in the
opinion of Kolkhoff, who in fat contra
diction to the statements of the older
biologists says that the flesh of the an
imal is not merely edible, but of very
agreeable flavor. AS fully developed
musk OK weighs about 1900 pounds
this is an important consideration.
But the principal value of the animal
lies in its heavy fleece Of dark brown
wool of extraordinarily fine fiber. The
fleece of single musk OK outweighs
those of 20 sheep.

PLOT AGAINST KING EDWARD
Baron de GInzberE Talks of Awful
Event In England.

Baron H. L. de Ginzberg, who for
eight years was chief of the Transvaal
secret service and who is raising mon
ey for the Boer cause by lecturing,
made a statement at New Haven the
other afternoon i'm an unguarded mo-
ment that may throw a scare into the
officials of the English government,
says the New York Sun. He said that
Great Britain would be shaken by a
terrible event within n few days and
conveyed the impression that an at
tempt will be made to assassinate King
Edward VII himself
The baron declared that there had
been a meeting of leading Irishmen
from all over Connecticut during the
past few days, men who had an init
mate connection with the plot he had
in mind, and that the dark crime at
which he mysteriously limited would
shake all England. He declined to
specify the turn the horror would take
when he was asked if it meant the as
sassination of the king by an anarchist
or if some high parsonage in England
was doomed to die. He added that his
net receipts for the Boer cause in four
months past have been S27,240 Then
he said:
"The Beers are determined to stick to
the fight until they get the British out
of South Africa. The British would be
glad to give the Beers the Transvaal if
they would be satisfied with that, but
they will not accept it. The British are
bound to be driven out of South Africa.
Our poor old president, Mr.. Kruger, is
76 years of age and deaf and blind. He
is broken down with sorrow over the
misfortunes of his country"

Young Woman School Superfntend-
ent and Opera House Manager.
Miss Helen Bennett of Deadwood,
S. D., has the distinction of being
county superintendent of schools and
manager of an opera house.
Miss Bennett is young woman who
was born and raised in the west and
IS graduate of Wellesley college. She
is probably the only person in the
United States who combines the two
offices of superintendent of schools and
opera house manager. and in the dual
role finds life as strenuous as Vice
President Roosevelt could wish and as
varied and Interesting as Prince Kro-
potkin would demand.
She books all her own attractions and
plays everything from high class con-
cert companies TO MINISTRIES and melo-
drama. She has even gone so far in
her attention to the details of the
business as to take out license as city
billposter. but does not go so far as one
woman manager in Wyoming, who
does her own posting.
Miss Benefits opera house is a
frame structure built in the days Of
the roller skating craze and made into
an opera house as an afterthought. AL

which seems TO have left an indelible
impression upon his mind and that of
his wife as well, shown various fresh
symptoms of an abnormal mental con-
dition. He has been morose for whole
days and even in the society of others
of a large company has barely been
able to rouse himself, and these moods
have generally, without any visible
cause, suddenly given way to more or
less short periods OF gayety. often bois-
terousness.
Moreover, he who has all along drunk

"a horde of conspirators." His face
flushed n deep scarlet and his gestures

every trifie more or less confirmatory
of the kaiser's abnormal condition, but
to the best of my judgment it is GER
tain that during the last two months
n serious change has taken place in
him. The belief in Germany that this
Is so is penetrating wider and wider
circles. Many draw a parallel between
William ii and his granduncle, Fred

MILTON AS A PLAYWRIGHT,
Puritan Poets "COmus'' to BE Re-
vived at Tufts College.

Puritan Poets "COmus' to Be He
Vived at Tufts College.
John Millions famous masque, GO
mus" is soon to be put on the stage by
the students of the English department
at Tufts college, near Boston. 1t was
originally written to commemorate the
appointment of the Earl of Bridgewa-
ter as lord president of Wales and was
first performed at Ludlow castle in
1854.
Such Mosques were common enter
tainment in court circles in the days of
Charles l and were staged with great
sumptuousness, the various parts being
taken by fashionable amateurs. There
is Il tradition that the story of "Comus"
was founded on the fact that the
daughter of the Earl of Bridgewater
was lost by her two brothers in Hay
wood forest. near Ludlow, and the
parts of the Lady and the First and
Second Brother were taken in the per-
Torrance by the earls children, who
thus acted on the stage the incidents
which had actually happened to them
In real life.
In the performance at Tufts it is the
intention to introduce the original
scene at Ludlow castle as closely as
possible. The play will be given in the
college gymnasium, which will be
transformed into a great hall suggest
ing the audience chamber at Ludlow,
and as far as possible all the ancient
details of stage setting and general
arrangement will be revived. The cos
tunes are 10 be copied from n well
known series of water color illustra-
tons to ''Comus" by William Blake,
the English poet and artist, which are
now owned by the Boston Museum of
Fine Arts. The music. which was al
ways an important and delightful fea-
ture of the old Mosques, was written
by Henry Lawes, the most famous
composer among Millions English con-
temporaries, and this will be rendered
in full.
