FAITH IN BEGGARS BROKEN.
This One Told n Lie to the Man Who Gave Him the Price of
 Drink.

"Beggars have always been a source some reason have always had a world of confidence in the stories they tell. know some of the stories are pretty hard to believe, but l have always felt that there was at least touch of truth in the tale" said the colonel to New Orleans Times-Democrat man.
 But l had an experience few days ago that shocked me so, because of the unusual nature of the case, that have completely lost faith in beggars, and hereafter they will pour their tales of woe into unbelieving ears.
 q had just gotten up, and had been into one of the popular places in Royal street to get cocktail. As I walked out I noticed tattered, nervous look ing individual at the entrance to the place, and his condition appealed to me and 1 cast a rather serious glance at him.
 "'Excuse me- he said, could you tell me where l could get good drink of whisky?'
 "'Yes,' I replied, there are many places around here'
 Do they sell Tennessee whisky in New Orleans?' the fellow continued, and l replied that I thought he could find any kind of game he wanted in the whisky line.
 We'll he said, would you kindly give me enough money to buy drink?' I gave him the money. Here is where l received the shock. I had become in terested in the fellow, and so I watched him. following him several blocks. He passed by six saloons, but entered an- other place, and as I passed by ] saw him spending the money I had given him, for he had never put it in his poclS- ct. He was not buying whisky. He was buying bread; and the shock to me was so great that I can no longer be- Geve in the tales of beggars''

Thousands of People Awaiting the Opening of Kiowa-Comanche-
 Apache Reservations.
MANY IN DESTITUTE CIRCUMSTANCES.
Hundreds of Despcrndoes Are There, Also, Who Will Not Hesitate mt Murder to Gain Possession of Choice Locations Which They Have Picked Out.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 22.-Thou- sands of people, men, women and children, camping on the border of the Kiowa aComanche-Apachc reserva- tions in Oklahoma awaiting the open- ing of that land to settlement, are in destitute circumstances, according to Dr. J. J. McKenna, who has ust re- turned from the scene.
 "Only last Monday,' said Mir. Me Kenna, two friends and myself drove over to the border from Oklahoma City, and the sight that greeted us was one of terrible Restitution. Twen- ty thousand men, women and children are massed on the border, and half of them are utterly destitute. Only a small percentage have even tents to sleep in, but huddle under the wagons and such shelteriDg trees as they can find. At least 5000 of them have been there year and half. They went with possibly $2oo or $500, and have made nothing since they arrived. Simply waiting-waiting The really pitiable thing about it all is that there are hundreds of desperadocs on the border who have picked out claims, and will not scruple to kill the successful ones in the drawing, in case they have a lottery. A relia- ble merchant told me few weeks ago about a band of 100 such des- paradoes who have secured the reser- vation for choice claims. and arc de- termined to have them at any cost

 Agoncillo has been imperative in Paris for some months past.

ONCE MINISTER TO WASHINGTON.
Jnpanese Legation Shocked nt the
 News of HOshf's Death.

Washington, June 22.-Officials of the Japanese legation were shocked when informed of the assassination.
 Mr. Hoshi's services here as minis ter lasted from 1890 to 1898. He is well known both in diplomatic and official circles. Before coming here he was prominent in politics of h,s country and on returning to Japan he became member oj the ca abinet, $crv- ing as minister of communication. His official life in Washington and at home was marked by vigor and de- cisivenesS, and these characteristics brought him much cnmity in certain political circles of Japan. This re- suited in charges affecting his in1eg- rity as a member of the cabinet, and rather than compromise his associ- ates by the controversy, he rendered his resignation. and began libel suit5 against his detractors.
 Feeling ran nigh over the affair, and it is probably due to this that the fatality occurred.

MANGLED HUMANITY.
Frlghtful Results of an Explosion of Fire works Tn a Store at Paterson,
 New Jersey.

New York, June 22-Fourtecn per- sons are believed to have been killed and number injured. yesterday, as the result of fire following an cX. plcsion among a quantity of fire works in the store of Abraham NJ. Rittenberg, at Paterson, N. J. The cause of the explosion is not known, and the property loss will not exceed $35,OOO.
 The building in which the explosion occurred was frame tenement, four stories high, with stores on the gound floor. The middle store was occupied by Rittenberg. Ten families occu. pied flats in the building. So great was the force of the explosion that boy playing in the street half a block away was lifted from his feet and hurled against an iron fence. One of his legs was broken. A trolley car was directly in front of the building when the explosion occurred. The burst of flame blown out into the street scorched the sides of the car and singed the hair of the passen- gers.
 A number of those who were on the upper floors of the building when the explosion took place were either stunned and then burned to death or found escape cut off and were sutfo- Sated.
 Rittenberg will probably be arrest ed pending an investigation. In the debris was found the head of a man or a woman. The hair is burned off and the features unrecognizable The remainder of the body has not been found. The bodies taken out thus far are almost unrecogni2a and are burned and torn by the fire and the collapse of the timbers of the build ing.
