KITCHENER IS BEAUTY-PRooF.
Cannot Be Touched by Wilcs o
Homen, Il Is Said.

A coronation visitor to London from
South Africa tells an interesting
story, which is going the rounds OF
the clubs, which serves to illustrate
the prevailing impression that Lord
Kitchener is proof against the beauty
and Establishments of all women.
When the new commander arrived
at Cape Town, a beautiful Beer spy
who was suspected OF using her fas-
cinations on susceptible officers as a
means Of obtaining military intel!i-
gence, tried her wiles on the grim
warrior. She secured an audience
from which, however, she retreate!

sion, saying to a companion who had
waited outside: -
"TIl try any other man, but not

Views of Prof. verriII on the Recent
Eruption.

Some Of the phenomena attending
the destruction Of st. Pierre have
been difficult to explain, especially
the sheet Of fame that seems to have
accompanied or closely followed the
violent explosion Of gas.
Prof. Verrill Of Yale states his view
to be that the heat is sufficient TO
cause the dissertation Of hydrogen
and oxygen from water coming sud-
denly into contact with the lava in the
crater, and that in the case OF sea
water chloride would be ASSOCIATED
from sodium.
These gases suddenly elected with
great violence and exploding in the
air above the crater would produce
the effects manifested on SO great a
scale at Martinique.
The people were killed by the sud.
den explosion Of vast volume OF
hydrogen and oxygen; and this &C.
counts for the sudden burning of flesh
and clothes, as well as of buildings
and of vessels in the roadstead.
The chlorine combining with some
Of the hydrogen would produce hydro.
chloric acid, which is poisonous and
sufocating and would quickly kill all
those not destroyed by the first ex
Dlosion.

RELATIONS STILL STRAINED.
Little Incident in Church Did Not
Tend to Unite Lovers.

Growing out Of a misunderstanding
IN a figure In the german, strained re-
lations existed between Miss Guard
and Carruthers. Next morning In
church, Carruthers was thinking over
the situation, planning some delicate
means of modifying his sweet foe.
While mentally perfecting the details
Of the scheme, he felt an insect on
the back OF his neck.
Steadily the thing advanced, and he
could almost feel the touch of each
separate leg as it marched over the
sensitive skin. His first impulse was
to smash the creature then and there,
but he took a momertary pleasure in
seeing how long he could endure the
sensation with mastery stoicism.
At last he made a fierce backward
grab for the maraudirg bug, and
found in his hand the dainty feather
ed hat of Miss Guard, whose pretty
head had been bent in prayer.
The strained relations still exist.

ENEMY SENDS POISONED DONBONS.
SYMPTOMS OF ARSENIC.
Mro. Gertrude Brown and Son Receive
Anonymous Present-Ate and
Became III.

A poison mystery resembling In
some Of its features the celebrated
Botkin case Is occupying the atten.
tion OF the police of Philadelphia, Pa.
Mrs. Gertrude Brown, who lives at
sos Brooklyn street. with her 13year-
old son. Robert, lies at her home in n
precarious condition. due, to arsenical
poison. The boy Is suffering from the
effects of a similar Illness. and a dog,
which was fed candy. was stricken
with symptoms that go TO demonstrate
the accuracy of the poison theory. Mrs.
Brown and her son ate some cake
and candy at Q O'Clock Christmas
night. The cake had been bought at
nearby grocery store. When the
box Of candy, which had been sent
anonymously the day before Christ
mas. was opened Mrs. Brown specu-
lated as to who of their friends or rela-
tives might have sent the present. She
turned the box over and over and eff
fort to find some written clew to the
sender, but without result. Satisfied
that the donor preferred to remain un-
known, Mrs. Brown gave over specu-
lating, and, with the boy, ate some of
the bonbons. Within a few minutes
the boy complained of feeling i'll, and
almost Immediately fell writhing upon
the floor. He complained of gripping
and burning pains. Mrs. Brown at
once made him drink salt solution and
as soon as she could prepared some
strong coffee, which she forced down
the boys throat. The administration
of these remedies relieved the boy and
he lay down upon his bed. By this
time the mother was attacked with
similar symptoms. She swallowed
hot coffee and also drank the salt So
luton, but her pains rapidly grew
worse, and she started from the house
to secure aid. She staggered to the
corner of Brown street, a few doors
away, where she fell. Recovering
somewhat the woman dragged herself
back into the house. DR.. Jameson,
who was summoned, suspected arsen-
ical poisoning, and questioned the sick
woman. She admitted the facts re-
| lating to the receipt Of the candy, and
even limited that she suspected who
the guilty one might be. She refused,
however, to name the person. The
patient was hurried to the Presbyter-
ian Hospital where the doctors
worked over her until daylight, when
she was pronounced out of danger
and removed to her home.

70 ARB|TRATE P|OUS FUND Case.
MEXICO MUST PAY.
United States Claims St,ooo,ooo prin.
clpal and an Equal Sum
In Interest.

The State Department at Washing
ton has just added another to the long
list of arbltrations which 1t has ar
ranged within the last few years for
the settlement of American claims
This arbitration will provide for the
settlement of the "pious fund when
has been subject of diplomatic eX'
change between the United states
and Mexico since the Mexican war.
The claim arose through the failure oi
the Mexican government to pay to the
Archbishop of California interest on
lands belonging to the Jesuits for
which the Mexican government acted
as trustee. The claim was submitted
60 the Mexican Claims Commission In
1877 and Judgment given In favor OF
the Church for about sl,0OO,OOO. The
Mexican government claimed that
that payment extinguished the claim,
but the State Department held that
the interest began from the date OF
the award and has run until at pres
ent IL amounts to to another million
dollars. Personal representations by
the Archbishop of California who rec
emily was in Washington and other
dignitaries of the Catholic Church
caused the department to press the
matter with the result stated.
