THE CEMETERY AT MALAGA.
The Place Where Panang MaIays
Find Final Rest.
From the National Review

From the National Review.
The Makam is that vast native ceme-
terry in which 1t is the desire of every
Panang Malay to find his last resting
place. 1t covers many acres of ground,
and the little nesan, or headstones. rise
everywhere through the rank growths
that cover the fruitful soil. A few
trees stand here and there-trees with
thick. fat leaves, soft and fiabby to the
touch, of the kind called Spoons" by
the Malays, because their shape is not
unlike that of fiat rice ladle. Oc-
casionally the grave of a raja, a noble
or a man of wealth is marked by a
headstone, upon which some pious
words of Arabic invocation have been
rudely carved; some others are squared
roughly; but for the most part the
graves have no other ornament than
a round piece of water-worn granite
protruding only a few inches above the
surface Of the ground, or a rudely
carved wooden peg leaning crafty TO
one side. Two or three of the graves
have tumble-down erections built over
them by the piety of the surviving
relatives of him who lies beneath.
Their devotion, however, has not been
equal to the task of keeping their work
In repair and the decaying uprights
and crosspieces have the appearance
OF a pile of spelicans. Traces may be
noted in other parts of the cemetery
of spasmodic attempts to fence in some
of the graves, but these have long been
abandoned as Utopian. On one raja's
grave may be seen a huge iron four
posted bedstead. which oriental wis
dom-doubtless after long and anxious
discussion-has at length devoted to
what its owner conceived was the end
for which 1t was originally fashioned.
Rude huts rise here and there among
the graves, with the grasses and
creepers clinging about their knees.
and these are built by the desire of the
dead-who have left money behind
them for the purpose-to accommodate
the priests and holy men who come
TO chant verses of the Koran during
the quiet nighttime. that the souls of
the departed may rest in peace.
All the graves. from those of the
kings who ruled the land. to those of
the peasants who titled the soil, are
nameless: and thus, when a man has
lain beneath the sod for a year or two.
even those OF his kindred who held
him most dear are unable 10 say with
certainty where their brother lies
buried.

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 21.-Henry
Mcdonald Sedley, of New York,
Sheffield scientific school freshman,

of peace and Sedley was released on a
$1,000 bond Corrigan died at the New
Haven hospital about 1 o'clock this
morning from injuries which he receiv-
ed about 2 O'Clock Sunday morning.
According to the story told in support
of the charge, Corrigan and other
young men were enjoying themselves in
a lunch wagon when Sedley became
eXasperated at something that Corri-
gan said, and pushed him away. Cor
rigan bumped against the jamb of the
doorway and then fell almost headlong
down the wooden stairs, landing on the

NO NEWS OF MISS STONE.
Russia's Powerful Cooperation,
However, Gives Confidence

Washington, Oct. 21.-There has been
no report since Saturday at the State
Department from Turkey or Bulgaria
touching Miss stones case. The Of
Gals, however, are by no means dis
couraged and are still confident that
they will succeed in saving her life,
but whether by diplomacy or by force
is not clear. 1t is gathered that the
friendship of the Russian government
has much to do with the confidence of
the officials here. That government has
responded in the most cordial spirit to
the appeal of the State Department,
which, unable itself from geographical
and political reasons to exert pressure
upon the government of Bulgaria, has
been pleased to avail itself of the pow
erful influence of Russia on that gov
eminent. The Turkish government has
for its part responded in the same
spirit to the appeal of the United
States and altogether the two govern
ments. Turkish and Bulgarian, proba-
bly, have been put to a degree of ex-
pense equal to the amount of the ran
som demanded by Miss Stones captors
in the military operations they have
already directed in her interests.

M'LAURIN LANDS AGAIN.
HIS MAN GETS SOUTH CAROLINA
APPOINTMENT.

George II. Rooster, Editor of the CO.
lumbia Record, Named as CoIIec-
tor of Internal Revenu for south
Carolina at the Junior Senator's
suggestiOn-The Appointment
surprise TO Republicans and Dem
ocrats Alike.
washington, Oct. Ex-senator Nc
Laurin's influence with President
Roosevelt was strikingly illustrated to-
day by the appointment of George E.
Rooster, editor of the Columbia Record,
TO the vacant collectorship of internal
revenue for the district of South Caro-
Ina.
Mr.. Koesters name has been under
consideration ever since the turning
down of Loomis Blalock, but his
friends have managed to keep his name
out of the newspapers for fear that the
plans for his selection might not work
out successfully.
1t was not expected that an appoint
ment would be made for a week or
more, or least that is what Senator
McLaurin stated after his interview
with President Roosevelt Saturday last.
The Senator while declining to give the
name of the winner, declared that
when the appointment was officially
announced, it would be a great sur
prise to all concerned, and especially
in South Carolina.
Just what induced President Roose-
Welt to bestow the appointment upon
Mr.. Koester just prior to his depart
ure for Yale College this afternoon. is
not explained at the White House. His
attention might have been drawn to
the South Carolina situation by the
appearance at the White House of one
of the applicants for the collectorship,
Ellery M. Brayton. He had brief in
terview with the President this morn
ing and it was evident that he received
but little encouragement so far as his
personal claim was concerned. Mr..
Brayton has been an applicant for al
most every federal Office in South
Carolina since he was displaced from
the National Republican Committee by
the late W. A. Webster.
It is believed that a howl of indig-
nation will go up from all directions
on the appointment of Editor Rooster,
because of his close personal friendship
for Senator McLaurin. They can say
nothing against his personal reputa-
ton. for he is one of the brightest and
cleanest of the younger school Of
South CdTOllld pOuIlCldllS
The friends of DR.. Clayton, who so
confidently predicted his appointment
a few days ago, now realize that it
was imprudent to make his claim so
strong After DIR. Clayton's interview
with the President, his prospects SEEM
ed to languish and Mr.. Rooster, whose
name was mentioned the same day DR..
Clayton was suggested, became the
dark horse.
Rooster a Gold Democrat.
CBy Associated Press.)
Washington, Oct, 21.-The President
to-day appointed George R. Rooster,
collector of internal revenue for the
district of South Carolina, to succeed
w. L. Webster, deceased. The appoint
ment was announced shortly before the
departure of the President for New
Haven this afternoon. With the ap-
pointment, the following statement was
issued:
Mr. Rooster is a gold Democrat and
has been recommended for the position
by a large number of influential bust
ness men and representative citizens,
not only of South Carolina, but of
North Carolina and elsewhere"

New York, Oct. 21.-Sir Thomas Lip
ton will not be a challenger for the
Americas cup next year. In an inter-
view late o-night Sir Thomas abso
lutely denied that he had any inten-
ton of building a new boat to COM
pete for the cup next fall.
Il will leave the Shamrock II. on this
side. She will remain here all next
summer and will race with any and all
boats that care to meet her. and l will
come over myself"
While Sir Thomas denied that he in
tended building a new challenger for
next year. he would not deny that he
would ultimately build new boat. On
this subject he said:
Il was beaten by a better boat than
Shamrock II. Under the circumstances
don't see how / can ever expect to
lift the cup with my boat. Nobody
ever saw Sir Thomas Upton put on his
coat in the middle of a fight and the
fight for that cup has only begun.

The whole trouble is that you Yam

for the British The only way I can
see is to go up to Bristol and see Nat

declared Sir Thomas. II think there
are no girls like American girls. but

PERHAPS DUPLICATE KEYS.
Powers Says GoebeI Might Have
Been Shot From His Office.

Georgetown, KY, Oct. 21.-In the
trial of Caleb Powers for alleged COM
plicity in the assassination of Gov.

timony. He said no one had ever had
his personal key to his office except
Leo Davidson. son of Assistant Secre-
tary Davidson.
Il want to say that there is posi-
bility that the shots may have been
fired from the SECRETARY of states

made. But when Goebel was shot l

WILD HORSES NEVER tanned.
Ranchman Tells an Interesting

From the Kansas City Star.
Il have known and ridden many a

Centropolis Hotel. but ! have never
seen one which ever became thorough

They weren't born to be servants and
they never would stand it. Some times
you would think that you had the wild
spirit broken. but you would always be
mistaken. There seemed to be some
thing in the eye of the wild horse that
was a give away. They had more white
in their eyes than the tame, plodding,
submissive animals that come from
generations of gentle ancestors.
The wild horses had a way of look
ing out of the corners of their eyes
with a look that showed there was a
little wild demon still alive inside. The
best looking horse that l ever owned or
rode was a wild horse. He was stall
lion, the leader of a herd, and / tell
you he was a beauty. He went by the
name of Billy. But If he had been ir'

Corrigan and Ireland, who represent

this occasion two additional aspirants

vacancies in the college of cardinals,

to have few chances of selection, as
the Pope is credited with a determine

In reply to questions by Mr.. Hanna
the witness said that while he could
not repeat actual conversations with
Commodore Schley concerning the ret

the movement was made because of the
commodore's anxiety about the coal
supply of the fleet. He knew, said the
witness. that the Spanish fleet was in
the vicinity, and felt that it was not
desirable to meet it without an ade-
quate fuel supply.
In reply to a question by Capt. Lem

THE NEWS IN COLUMBIA.
Like a Bolt From a CIOudIess Sky
Came KOester's Appointments


Columbia, S. c., Oct. 21.-The ap-
pointment of George R. Rooster. col
lector of internal revenue, fell as a bolt
from a cloudless sky here this evening
Republicans are dumbfounded, Nc
Laurin's supporters not delighted, and
McLaurin's opponents rather pleased.
Rooster is originally from Charles
ton. He came to Columbia as a local
reporter for the Register during the
time that it supported Tillman. Later
he became editor of the paper and de-
Tended McLaurin. Since then the Sem
ator has been his consistent friend,
and enabled him to get control of the
Evening Record paper with a purely
local circulation. This has supported
McLaurin ardently. The paper possibly
has a circulation of 800 in Columbia.
The collectorship pays as much salary
as the governorship. Republicans such
as Clayton anG Ensor are dead sore"
at the intimation that Gold Demo-
crat" had to be appointed because no
worthy Republican was available.
