Dope Dream Causes Trouble.

When Ella Monroe, a negress, has a dope
dream she sees men under the bed. This
has happened several times in various lodg-
ing houses. Last night Ella engaged a
room in the Peoples lodging house at
Twelfth and Farnam streets and when the
proprietor showed her in she detected some
one lying concealed below the bed and three
men peering I'm at the transom. When the
host failed to see these, Ella grew alarmed
and SELLING some Of her clothes, her NOR
phine bottle and the water pitcher, she
sprang through the open window. II is
about twenty-three feet down in the direc-
ton Ella took to the iron grating In the
sidewalk, but she arose unframed from the
ruins OF the pitcher and with wild cries
moved down to the alley and started for
Eleventh street. Here the policeman caught
her and she was taken TO the station,

owes its beautiful asphalt pavements to his
energy. Every yard Of pavement laid in
his administration has been since removed
because Of its worthlessness, but his at
tempt at pavement demonstrated the neces-
sity and the desirability Of something Of
the kind, and hence the present asphalt
pavements. The Shepherd pavement was a
p~udding-like affair. which served a pur-
pose in making something better seem
necessary.
He Bossed the Job.
That he acted the part Of a dictator in
all this cannot be denied. He used all the
power with which he was invested and
strengthened it with his energy and
will force. Had he been the old car,
Nicholas. at the head Of this enterprise, he
could not have carried the situation with
greater directness, GOODNESS and Indifference
to public opinion. OF course TO accomplish
the immense undertaking that was involved
in the original plan on which the city was
laid out, necessitated the expenditure Of a
vast amount of money. The city of Wash
ington had to stand half the expense, and
the national government the other half.
IL was no doubt a crushing burden for the
city to assume. When he came to the end
of his administration in 1874, he had spent
$40. 900. 600, and the city was $27, 900, 900 in
debt.
The suspicion that he made a fortune
for himself was hardly justified by subse-
Quent history. Mr.. Shepherd failed soon
after retiring from his position, and had to
begin life over again in a new country,
where in time he acquired another fortune
by successful mining operations, and he
died one Of the richest men in Mexico,
where he had lived since 1879. Twenty
years after leaving Washington he returned
to receive the homage of a community

TWO KID TRAcys.
California Youths Go Into Wholesale
Holdup Business.

: San Jose, Cal, Aug. IA series of
daring highway robberies which re
suited in the sensational death nf me
of the robbers and the %wounding OF a
citizen, occurred on the Monterey road
yesterday afternoon.
Two young men, apparently little
more than boys in age, compelled an
old lady, who was driving along the
road to Edendale, to deliver her horse
and buggy to them. They then drove
to p. r. Heple's. store at Coyote. Whare
they purchased cartridges for a pistol,
which they loaded fundamentally pro-
ceeded to hold up the proprietor and
several bystanders. From Heple..s
they went towards Gilroy. Within a
quarter of q mile of this town they
met with w. Mckee, a sewing ma
chine agent, and when he failed to
stop they fired on him, inflicting a
,,trifing wound.
The robbers continued south to
Stevens store, robbing two or three
teamsters on the road of small
amounts. They were Just entering
Stevens store when they saw five or
six armed men hiding rapidly toward
them. This was = posse consisting
of E. r. Heple and the men who had
been robbed, with him. The robbers
fed towards the fcOthilI: A running
fire ensued in which n Of the rob-
ibers was shot through the stomach.
In emulation of Convict Tracy, he
placed his pistol to his head and blew
out his brains. The other threw up
his hands and was taken into custody

SENATOR M,LAuRlN's STAND.

Against Mr.. TilIrnan.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Some inter
| esting statements about Senator Nc
Laurin Of South Carolina are made
public in al interview with his private
secretary, John T. Mccoy, who is Wis.
iting in West Virginia. According to
MI. Mccoy. one reason why Senator
McLaurin refused the %judgeship OF
the court of claims was because his
acceptance would prevent his settling
the old with Mr.. Tillman.
His main ambition" said Mr.. Nc
Coy. referring to Mr.. McLaurin, sis
to down the man of pitchfork fame,
and his every effort will be directed
to that issue. He could have been
secretary of the interior had he so
wished, but he will not change his
politics for the highest position in
the gift of the president. He is not
that kind Of a man..
Mr.. Mccoy says that when Mr.. Nc
Laurin leaves the senate he will re-
turn to his South Carolina plantation
and continue the fight against Tillman.
1T will be a pretty battle for suprem.
acy," says Mr.. Mccoy.

Peoria. Ill, Aug. 11.-What is be.
liYede to be an attempt to burn Peo-
ria!s business section was made about
noon today. At l o'clock Neumiller,s
livery barn and 81 horses were de-
stroyed. Clarke's roller mills were
burning, and other smaller fires were
raging at different points.

by an incendiary. Twenty horses
We're sunocated and the entire stock

will spread to adjoining buildings.
Previous to this fire an attempt
was made to fire the store rooms and
Offices of the Val Blatz Brewing CO.,

WILL LAND NAVAL FORCE.
Germany Intends to Protect Inter.
ests at Port cabelio.

Washington, Aug. minister
Bowen at Caracas today advises the
state department that the Germans in
tend to land q naval force at Porto
Cabello to protect German interests
there, which are threatened by the up
rising now in progress. The minister
advised that we follow suit. After
a conference between the officials OF
the state and navy departments in.
structions were cabled to Commander
Nicholas Of the Topeka to proceed
from La Guayra to Porto Cabello and
to land a naval force in case of at
tack. The Topeka has already left
for Porto Cabello. The Topeka will
probably reach Porto Cabello, which is
only a short sail from La Guayra,
some time today. The trouble at
Porto Cabello grows out of the upris-
ing that has convulsed Venezuela for
some time. 1t Is directed against
President Castro and has kept the
country in a state of ferment for
many months. Minister Bowen re-
Gently sent word that President Cas-
tro was leaving for the front with
the expectation of fighting a decisive
battle with the insurgents. The lat
ter has been gathering strength at
Porto Cabello. Our consul at that
point t~elegraphea recently that the
lives of some of the American resi-
dents, incluulng members of his fam
lily, were imperilled, and two of the
ladies of the c%Onsul's family were tax
en- away in = government ship Since
then there has been no word OF a chit
zeal cnoditiUn of affairs, bat the dis
patch today Indicates that a crisis has
been reached. There appears to be
no question as to the right OF the Ger
nan naval force to land for the pro-
lection of German interests. 1T in
way involves the Monroe doctrine.
Germany has been keeping close
watch on Venezuela for some months
and at n time contemplated taking
a Venezuelan port Ina order to Conn
pei the payment OF certain German
claims.
The present landing of a German
force has nc connection with Ger
many's former movements against
~Venezeula, although the assurances
heretofore given by Germany serve in
the present case to show that there is
mo Interior purpose behind the pro-
t~rection of German interests at Porto
Cabello.

Cuban reciprocity as advocated by
President Roosevelt and Endorsed by

itself chiefly to state issues. When
asked how the Cuban reciprocity is

II have not heard that matter dis
cussed. / do not know that the state
platform will deal with federal, is
sues. We have issues enough of our
own here in the state"
1t was suggested that the republf-
cans of Iowa had taken a different
view of the matter.
"As the republican party in the state
OF Iowa has about everything in the
way Of national government, 1t is
right that it should take charge Of
federal issues" Senator Plat replied.

ocsoRNE HOUSE PRESENTED 70
THE NATION.
RESIDENCE OF LATE QUEEN
Will Be Converted Into ConveIescent
Hospital for Army and Navy
Officers.

London, Aug. liking Edward has
signalized his coronation in a memor-
able manner by the munificent gift
to the nation of Osborne, one of the
favorite residences of the late Queen
Victoria.
The gift is made in the following
message to his people, addressed, to
Prime Minister Balfour. For reasons
apparent in the document itself, his
majesty makes his intention public:
Buckingham Palace, Coronation
Day, 1902.-Under the will of the
kings much beloved mother, the Os-
borne house estate is, as Mr.. Balfour
VS. aware, the private estate of the
sovereign. Having to spend a con-
siderable part Of the year in the cap
ital of this kingdom and its neighbor-
hood, at Windsor, and having also
strong home ties in the county Of
Norfolk, which have existed now for
nearly 40 years, the king fears he will
be unable to make adequate use ct
Osborne house as a royal residence
n he accordingly has determined IT,
offer the property in the Isle of Wight
as a gift to the nation. As Osborne
house is sacred to the memory of the
late Queen, it is the kings wish that,
with the exception of those apart
ments which We're in personal occupa-
ton of her majesty, his people shall
always have access to the house,
which must ever be associated with
her beloved name. AS regards the
rest of the building, the king hopes
it may be devoted to national pur-
poses and be converted into a con-
yalscent hospital for officers oS the
navy and army whose health has been
impaired in rendering service to their
country.
1If. i'm order to give full legal effect,
to the kings wishes, it is found an
application to parliament be neces-
sary- the king trusts that Mr. Bal
four will G that necessary steps are
in due course taken" @N
