Woman Choked to Death and Her
Niece Assaulted.

Mobile, Ala, Sept. 29.-Mrs. Helen
Dickson was choked to death and her
niece, Miss Helen Robertson, was as
saulted early Sunday morning at their
home by an unknown man, supposed
to be a Negro bent on criminal as
sault.
The murderer climbed through a

and her niece, Miss Robertson, were
sleeping, and after closing and bracing
the door leading into a room where
Miss Robertson's father was sleeping,
strangled Mrs. Dickson into insensi-
bility and had clutched Miss Robert
son by the throat when she screamed,
frightening the intruder away.
Mr.. Robertson, upon hearing his
daughters cries, broke into the room,
but was unable to capture the MUIR
derer. Mrs. Dickson died a few hours

PERRINE's COMET.
1t Is Now Very Visible to the Naked

San Jose, Cal, Sept. 29.-Prof. w.
w. Campbell, of Lick observatory
sends out the following:
''The comet discovered at Lick OBJ
servatory on September 1 by Prof.
G. D. Perrine has grown steadily
brighter as predicted until at the pres
ent time it is very visible to the naked
eye. For the benefit of those who may
care to observe it, I give its approx
mate position as follows:
September %, very close to the Sec

September 20, about two degrees south
of the second magnitude star Beta
CassiOpeiae. 1t then enters upon the
milky way and will for some days
probably not be so readily determined.
On the evening of October 6 it will be
about three degrees north of Alpha
Cygni. The comet should then be two
or three times as bright as it is at the
present time. twill continue to move

very and Devotion to Duty.

Washington, Sept. 27.-An instance
Of bravery and devotion to duty on the
part Of an army nurse has been report
ed to the war department by Maj. Gen.
Chaffee, commanding the division of
the Philippines, in the following
words:
Nurse Alice Kemmer, army nurse
corps, having been granted leave Of
absence, voluntarily relinquished the
same and took upon herself the care
Of two smallpox patients in an isola-
ton hospital. One of the patients was
the wife Of an officer, the other an en-
listed man. Miss Kemmer had never
had the disease, nevertheless she fear
lessly entered upon her selt-imposed
task and through the months Of April
and May, 1902, devoted herself to the
care of the patients, living in the room
with the officers wife, the enlisted
man being in an adjoining room.
With never more than two hours sleep
at time, intensely hot weather, the
nurse attended her patients day and
night and saved their lives"
Gen. Chaffee then commends her
bravery and conscientious perform
ance of duty.

CYCLONE IN SICILY.
Much Property Destroyed and About
400 Lives Were Lost.

Syracuse, Sicily, Sept. 27.-For 24
hours before cyclone burst over the
island a violent storm ragged on the
east coast Of Sicily. The path Of the
cyclone was 124 miles long, and every
thing in the line of the storm was de-
stroyed. The inland was swept for
several KILOMETRES, doing enormous
damage, while there were violent sub
marine agitations between Sicily and
the main land. Along the railroad
from Catania to Palermo, the force Of
the cyclone was such that rails were
torn up and hurled to a great distance.
1t is reported from Modica (32 miles
west southwest from Syracuse) that a
hundred bodies have already been
found, but that the number of dead
bodies swept away by the torrent is
unknown.
The newspaper Fractissa expresses
the belief that some 400 people have
been killed.
The torrent destroyed everything on
the ground floors in Hevis and the
lower portions of Modica. Bridges and
roads have disappeared and damage
amounting to many millions Of lire
has been done. "a lire is worth about
70 cents.)

Burned AT THE STAKE
Tom Clark Confessed to Assault,
Murder and Robbery.
Clarke Also Confessed to Killing Two
Men on An Excursion Train and
to the Theft of 81 500 From
Physician.

Corinth, Miss, Sept 29.-Writhing
in the flames of burning fagots, piled
high by hundreds of citizens, Tom
Clark alias Will Gibson, a young Ne
gro, was burned at the stake here at
a late hour Sunday, after having con-
fessed to one of the most atrocious
crimes in the history of North Missis-
sippi, the assault and murder of Mrs
Carey Whitfield, on August 10 last.
Before the torch was applied Clark
stated that he deserved his fearful fate.
Last August Mrs. Whitfield, the
wife of a well-known citizen, was
found dead in her home. Investiga-
ton showed that the woman had been
assaulted and her head was practi-
cally severed from her body, a razor
having been used in the bloody work.
Both Whitfield and his wife were re-
lated to several of the most prominent
families in the south and the indigna-
ton of the people knew no bounds.
Corinth and the surrounding country
was secured in an effort to apprehend
the murderer, but diligent search fail
ed to disclose his identity. Two de-
tectives from Chicago were employed
by the family, but their efforts were
fruitless. Several suspects were ar
rested but in each case an alibi was
proven. A committee of II citizens
were named to continue the search for
the murderer and they have been ac-
in hn 10
became known that Tom Clark, Ne
gro living near here, had trouble with
his wife and the latter threatened to
disclose the secret Of a crime. An
officer apprehended the woman and
she told enough to warrant the belief
that Clark had murdered Mrs. Whit
field. Clark was arrested and on Sat
urday was before the committee of y
In COrinth. The Negro finally confess
ed to the murder and also told of other
crimes that he had committed. He
said that several years ago he killed
two men on an excursion train in Mis-
sissippi. He told of an outrage per
petrated by him upon a Negro woman
and also of the theft of 81 500 from a
physician at French Camp, Miss
Clark said that he had never been sus-
pected of committing any of these
crimes.
After hearing the confession the
committee decided that the Negro
should be executed. Clark said he de-
served death, but asked that the exc
cution be delayed until Sunday so that
he could have a farewell interview
with his mother and brother who lived
in Memphis. The request was granted
and the two relatives we're telegraphed
for but it was learned that they were
in Mississippi.

THE ARMY CANTEENS.
Their Adjustment Responsible
for an Increase Of Offenses.
Saloons Of the Lowest Type Have
Been Established Just Outside
the Boundaries Of the Vari-
Gus Reservations.

Washington, Sept. Establishment
Of the army canteen is responsible for
a "deplorable increase of offenses in
general and assertions in particular"
according to the annual report OF
Brig. Gen. Frederick Funston, depart
ment of the Colorado. Gen. Funston
declares that the ousting of the can
teen by act of congress has lowered
the discipline Of the army, ruined
scores of good soldiers and enriched
saloonkeepers, gamblers and dissolute
women. He explains the deterioration
as follows:
''In my opinion there are two prin.
cipal causes for this state of affairs:
First, resentment of unaccustomed
limitations and restrictions felt by
men returning from field service to
the monotony and routine work OF
garrison life; second, the abolition OF
the canteen feature of the post ex-
change. Since this action was taken
saloons of the lowest type have been
established just outside the boundaries
of the various reservations; their pro-
prietors in almost every case unprin-
cipled scoundrels who leave nothing
undone to debauch the soldiers and
obtain their money. Being in all cases
outside the limits Of any city the pro-
prietors of these resorts are subject
to no municipal police regulations and
sell liquor regardless Of hours and
whether the buyer is already intoxi'
Gated or not.
Gambling is universal in these
dives and they are frequented by dis
solute women. The soldier whose de-
sire for drink would ordinarily be sat-
isfied by few glasses Of beer in the
canteen of the post exchanges goes
TO one of these resorts and does well
if he escapes before he has spent or
gambled away all his money, over
stayed his leave or engaged in an al
tercation. AS a rule the local authori-
ties regard the existence Of these
places with indifferences or approval,
as it causes the soldier to spend his
money in the community. The eff
cheney of the army or the ruin OF a
good soldier is nothing TO them. mere
can be no reasonable doubt that most
of the trials by general courts-matial
and summary courts, at least so far as
this department is concerned, are d.
rectly traceable to this cause. Since
] have had command here there has
taken place the ruin and degradation
of several non-commissioned officers
of long service and fine record. In
short, the recent legislation by con-
gress on this question so far as this
department is concerned has had no
effect except to lower the discipline
of the army, ruin scores of good sol
diers and fill the pockets of lot Of
saloonkeepers, gamblers and prosti-
tutes.''

SECOND OPERATION.
Surgeons Open the AbscesS on the
Presidents Leg.
There Is No Evidence Whatever OF
Any Matter That Would Produce
Blood Poisoning-WiII Soon
Be Himself Again.

Washington, Sept. 29.-Another OPP
GRAFTON was performed Sunday on the
abscess on the left leg of President
Roosevelt In the former operation a
simple needle was used to relieve the
trouble, but Sunday the surgeons with
knife made an incision into the small
cavity, exposing the bone, which was
found to be slightly affected. The
presidents case has been progressing
satisfactory, but it is believed by the
physicians that the operation made
Sunday will hasten his complete re-
covery. While none of the doctors are
willing to be quoted, they give the
most positive assurances that there is
not the least cause for alarm, and say,
on the contrary, there is every indica-
ton of a speedy recovery, that the
area Of bone Affected is very slight,
and will not result in any impairment
of the presidents limb, and that there
is no evidence whatever of any mat
ter that would produce blood poison
ing. They confidently expect that the
president will be on his feet within a
reasonable time, and with his robust
constitution to assist recovery soon
will be himself again.
DR.. Newton M. Shaffer, of New
York, who long had been acquainted
with the Roosevelt family and has at
tended the presidents children at va
riOus times, and who also is a we'll
known bone specialist, joined the pres
ident's physicians in their morning
consultation at 10 o'clock. 1t was no
ticed that there had been a slight rise
in the presidents temperature and an
increase in local symptoms and the
conclusion was reached that the pa
TENTS recovery would be fastened by
making an incision of the wound for
the purpose of relieving the slight ten
sion or swelling which was present
and also to drain the wound. The op-
Grafton was performed between and
8 o'clock in the afternoon. An appli-
cation of cocaine was used to allay
the pain. The president stood the Op-
Grafton very well and subsequently
expressed satisfaction at the success
full result. DR.. Rixey, the surgeon gen.
eral of the navy, performed the opera
ton, assisted by Dr. Lung, the presi-
dents regular physician. DR.. O'Reilly,
who also was present with the other
physicians, is the surgeon general Of
the army, and heretofore has been
consulted regarding the case. DR.. Ed
ward R. Stitt, another of those pres
ent, is in charge of the naval museum
OF hygiene and medical school.
The physicians Sunday night took
a roseate view of the presidents pros
poets of getting out again. He has
become somewhat FESTIVE because of
his close confinement and the physi-
clans are considering the advisability
of permitting him to take ride in a
few days The physicians say the
question now is simply one of the
healing of the wound and reiterate that
this will be fastened by the operation
made.
