REMARKABLE DUAL LIFE

New York, April l2.-John Albert

hovers between life and death in the
prison ward at Bellevue hospital, the
result of self inflicted wounds, has led
a double life, and did it so ~cleverly

That he is a man who escaped from
the prison in. Joliet, after killing a
guard, is beyond their power to re-
alize. He was a favorite in the homes
of his neighbors. In the republican
club Of the district he was IL of the
leaders and was regrded as a power at
the polls. In the Swedish church, at
Leonard and Griggs avenue, the same
Brown was one of the most devout
worshlpers. To the poor of the dis

His neighbors said he gave away more

he lived on the proceeds Of the little

other Man.

indianapolis, April 12-Rajah, the
Bengal tiger that fatally injured one
of the keepers at the Zoo in this
city several months ago after a desper-
ate fight in the cage, today attacked
Frank G.. Bostock, proprietor Of the
"Zoo," and dangerously injured him.
1t is feared by the surgeons that b.
stock will lose his left arm. His
right leg and his face were badly lac
Grated.
Preparations were being made at
the "Zoo'' to ship Rajah, with several
other animals, to the Pan-American
exposition at Buffalo. Mr.. Bostock
has just arrived from Baltimore to di-
rect the work. He took Rajah into
the arena this morning with the in
tention Of putting him through some
tricks. Bostock wore a heavy wire
mask over his head and neck and car
ried a revolver and club.
At the conclusion of the exercise,
the beast was released and started to-
ward his cage along a winding passage
way from the arena to the rear OF the
cages. In this narrow place the ami,
NAL suddenly leaped upon Bostock and
forced him to the floor. Bostock's
left arm was torn by the tigers fangs.
The mask was broken open and the
tiger was gnawing at his victims face
when a trainer rushed to the rescue
and drove the enraged beast to his
cage after firing several shots into hit
body.

STATE THEIR VIEWS
Resolutions Expressing Catholic
Position on Education in
United States.

Chicago, April IA declaration OF
the Catholic position or education in
the United States was adopted today
at the closing session of the national
conference of the Association of
Catholic Colleges. The resolutions
declare:
"That the tendency Of educational
legislation forces us to warn our Cath
Ollie people of the systematic and we'll
defined effort in certain quarters to-
ward absolute state control in educa-
ton, thereby threatening and Grip
pling all private educational institu-
tions, thus dep1iving a large class Of
the citizens of the liberty Of maintain
ing schools in which their religion
shall be made an essential element.
"That we remind legislators OF the
rights of conscience guaranteed us by
our American citizenship and call
their attention to the system Of schools
which our people have maintained at
great expense and sacrifice.
"That we protest against the unfair
and unjust determinations resulting
from much Of the educational legisla-
tion and we appeal to the fairminded-
ness and sense of Justice Of the
American people to protect us from
such lllibesality."

HAS TURNED HONEST
Ascending New York Broker
Sends Cheerful News to
Creditors.

New York, April 12.-The Times to-
morrow will say: According to B. M.
Oppenheim, a lawyer who has just re-
turned from the City of Mexico, the
creditors of Lewis G. T~ewkesbury, the
broker who disappeared from this city
last July, are not only to get the full
amount of their claims, but to get in

Tewkesbury left claims aggregating
over $780, 600. He was the promoter
OF the firm Of L. G. Tewkesbury & Co.,
and was supposed to be a broker and

draw $4,000 from the bank for him and
he left the city, saying that he was
going to Chicago to settle up some

but never came back to New York.

A PHENOMENON OF NATURE

Butte, April 12-That portion of
Butte believed to embrace the larger
part Of the big hill upon which some
of the Anaconda mines are located las
made a very ~perceptible movement
souhtwestward during the past few
days. At the foo, of the Anaconda
hill, the slide has pushed the tracks Of
the street railway about six inches for
a distance Of 800 feet along the road.
AS there are no large buildings in that
part of the city, no damage WAS done.
except to railroad tracks and but for
their displacement the slide would not
have been noticed.
Biologists and scientific men claim
that the entire range Of mountains
about Butte is constantly moving and
that the sliding motion which has
been going on for ages and has crushed
and mixed the copper veins and ore
bodies in the Butte district and dis
placed many of them, is still going on.
About a year ago a similar slide &C.
Cured in the western portion of the
city and right in the heart of the resi-
dence portion. The county court
house, the handsome residence of
Senator Clark and several Chinese and
other buildings were cracked, the resi-
dence of Clark having a fissure about
two inches wide through the entire
building from east to west, and the
street car track in several places was
bumped up by the sliding motion.
The statement is made by q well
known mining man that the collar OF
the shaft of the Green Mountain mine,
one of the Anaconda group, has moved
about seven feet in ten years.
The strange phenomenon is regarded
with interest by scientists, but nc
danger is apprehendcd from it.

INTENDED EXPENDITURES BY
NORTHERN PACIFIC.
MILLIONS FOR EQUIPMENTS
Interesting Statement Authorized
by President Mellen-No
Clear Water Cutoff.

St. Paul, April 12.-PresideDt G. 5.
Mellen today authorized an announce
ment as to the enormous expenditures
which the Northern Pacific will make
the coming season. The expenditures
will aggregate $40, $50. 900.
1t sounds almost uncomfortable, but
the sum of So, $50, 900 will be spent
for rolling stock and similar equip
ment alone. It is the largest equip
ment order placed by a railroad com
pany west of the Mississippi. The
other So, 900, 900 will be spent in per-
manently improving the roadbed from
st. Paul to Portland, in order that the
line from end to end may be in perfect
condition to bear the heavy strain OF
an ever embarrassing volume OF business.
These expenditures are the logical
result of the rapid development OF
the northwest and the coast country.
The business of all the northwestern
railroads has developed to such an ex-
tent, and the future shows such a
large increase in sight, that the North
ern Pacific feels that only by making
such extraordinary additions to it's
equipment can ii keep pace with the
times. The expenditure of SO much
money on rolling stock is not looked
upon in the nature of a risk. The bus
mess to keep the new equipment in
active service is actually in sight, it
not waiting.
The nature of the above order can
he realized when it is stated that 1t
will furnish employment for over
8, 1000 men in various parts OF the
country for a period Of six months.
The Northern Pacific will not under
take any extraordinary pieces Of con-
struction in the way of new lines.
The So, 900, 900 will be used almost en-
tirely for improvements to the perma-
nent way.
When asked today if the Northern
Pacific intended proceeding with the
construction of the Clear Water cut of
in Idaho, Mr.. Mellen replied:
"The Northern Pacific will engage
in no construction iu the Clear Water
country this year."

FIGHT WITH OUTLAWS
Band of Kentucky Desperadoes
Run Down by Sheriff's
Posse.

Wh%itesburg, KY, April 1.-Two
men were killed and two wounded in

the desperadoes who robbed and
murdered aged Mrs. Jemima Hall and
her son on the other. The fight oc-
CURED in the mountains between
Boone's Fork and Woolston creek.
Wright and his posse started out
several months ago to capture the
who cruelty to1tured the aged
widow and after securing her money
killed her and her son and burned her
body in the little building in which
she lived. Citizens have been daily
expecting to hear of a pitched battle
between the two crowds that have al
ready had several skirmishes.
Yesterday John and Morgan Reyn
olds, Isaac and Greed Potter and
George Newsome were located by the
posse in their rendezvous in the noun
tains. Morgan Reynolds, Newsome
and Isaac Potter went away and
while they were gone the officers sud-
IDENTIFY confronted Creed Potter and
John Reynolds and all of them, ten in
number, opened fire. The desperadoes
replied with rifles and revolvers and
more than 80 shots we're exchanged at
a distance of less than a dozen PAGES.
John Reynolds received a serious
if not fatal wound in the left shoulder
and retreated, leaving Potter alone.
The latter's ammunition soon gave
out and he, too, went into hiding.
OF the posse William Wright, aged
18, was killed by a steel bullet which
passed through his abdomen and Isaac
Miller, aged 81. was shot through the
heart. A third man, named Osborne,
was struck in the right leg and severe
~ hurt.
Young Wright, who was killed at
/ the first fire, joined the posse about a
month ago to avenge the murder of his
father W. S. Wright, whom the gang
as%sassinated about a year ago.
The firing was heard for a distance
of Is miles.

had been defeated and Gvernor Beck.
ham was teleg1aphed to send the state
troops to capture the gang. When il
was learned. however, that the possee
had been victorious another telegram
was sent countermanding the order.

ENGLAND'S IDEA OF ABROGAT-
ING CANAL TREATY.
NEGOTIATIONS IN PROGRESS
Foreign Office Hopes for Settlement
Before Congress Convenes
Next Winter.

London, April 12-Negotiations on
the abrogation of the Clayton-B ulwer
treaty are proceeding, though they
have not yet passed the tentative
stage. A representative Of the Associ-
ated Press has been assured that they
are proceeding on a guild pro quo
basis and that no other basis of abro-
CATION will be considered by the Brit
ish government. The foreign office
hopes that u settlement satisfactory to
both the United States and Great
Britain will be arrived at before con-
gress is r%econvened.
Great Britain has not yet definitely
stated the money indemnity she de-
sires China to pay. A representative
of the Associated Press is Informed
that the government adheres to the
belief that little can be gained by in
sisting upon cash payments from
China and though the government re
grets that this will possibly be a cause
of delay, it continues to instruct the
British minister to China, Sir Ernest
Satow, to try ana induce the powers to
agree to a demand for greater trading
privileges, instead of money. The
government is Of the opinion that the
opening up Of the rich provinces
hitherto closed to foreign commerce
will result in much greater benefit to
the nations concerned and to China
herself than the extraction of lump
sums Of money.
Regarding Japan's attitude towards
Russia, the opinion in Downing street
inclines to the belief that Japan, in
common with the other powers, is
satisfied with what is termed as Rus
sia's "back. down. but that japan
will continue to keep a sharp eye Oh
Corea and have no hesitation in
threatening hostilities should Russia
menace that country.

London, April 12.-Although doubt
less it will be the chief topic of the
season, there are many reasons why
the contest for the Americas cup, says
the Field, will not arouse great en-
thusiasm. The main reason is that,
as is now fully admitted in the United

measurement necessarily encourages
useless dangers in the type Of yacht.
All will agree that it is disastrous for
