Grace Darling's Tomb.

The tomb of Grace Darling has had
as stormy a history as the heroine over
whom il was erected. Ii is sixty years
since Grace Darlin died. and hand
~-ome monument was placed 20 her
memory in the churchyard Of Bambor-
ough, on the wild Northumbrian coast.
The grave and monument are plainly
TO be seen from passing ships. After a
few years the efiigy, which represented
the heroine lying down with an oar on
her arm, looking towards the island
where she achieved fame. began 10 de-
cay. and was removed TO the interior
OF the church. Not long after this was
done. the roof OF the transept fell in
upon it, and great storm laid the
tomb outside in ruins. For two years
it remained a mass OF wreckage, but is
now restored, and new efIigy placed.

gree. An abundance Of clear. sparkling

THREATS PROVEN.
Testimony Shows That Fife and
Richardson We're at War.

Kansas City, March 14.-A Star spe-
cia1 from Savannah, Mo, says: E. E.
Norris. the st. Joseph saloonkeeper who
disappeared a few days ago, appeared
today when the trial of Stewart Fife
for the murder of Frank w. Richard
son was resumed and gave damaging
testimony against the defendant.
Norris was found last night by detec-
tiyes at Lake Contrary near here. When
he was called to the stand today he
admitted having been in hiding.
Norris in answer to questions, admit
ted having known Fife who he said had
visited his saloon frequently. He had
been in his saloon about December J.,
1900, a month before Richardson was
killed.
What did he say about Mr.. Richard
son?''
He was pretty drunk" said Norris.
HE talked to me about the trouble he
was having with Richardson. Fife told
me that Richardson had abused him be-
fore the other clerks. He said Richard
son told him if this is not stopped 1
will kill YOU Fife told me that he in
tended to protect himself even If he
had to kill Richardson
WAS Richardson jealous of Fife and
his wife?''
Fife did not come right out and say
so. He said if anything happened be-
fore the first of the year 1 need not
be surprised.
Norris said Fife showed him a re-
volver when he said he was going to
protect himself if Richardson abused
him again.
At every question asked of Norris
the defendants attorney objected siren
uously. His evidence it developed was
wholly unlike that given before the
grand jury. The jury was sent out and
Norris was examined and cross-exam-
ined. Norris explained it by saying
that he was drunk when he testified be-

Exhibition.

Anna Eva Fay, who is termed the fair
mahatma, has been attracting many prom
inent people to the Crawford and all sorts
Of questions from politics and religion to
finance and love affairs have been asked
her.
Miss Fay's feats of reading and answer
ing questions and giving the name of the
writer are mystifying. There has been
considerable discussion as to whether it is
done by mind reading or some unseen
trick but those who contend that it is
by trickery have utterly failed to find
clue which will in any way prove their
contentious
Gov. w E. Stanley was one who was
unable to explain Miss Fay's feats of mind
reading. The marvel of the performance
that Miss Fay gives is the way she can
read persons names and questions" said
Gov Stanley this morning Il have no
idea that all that can be done by trickery.
Telepathy has never been explained and
there may be something in it
Tom McNeal said: There is no question
about it, Miss Fay is great in her line
She is certainly a wonder in answering
questions. l knew little about her per-

feats. are mystifying. 1 can not under

the questions. 1t is wonderful
