Served Him Right.

Boston, July 9.-Charles Roberts,
an assistant steward on the Cunard-
er SaXonia, was yesterday fined $40
in the East Boston district court on
pleading guilty to a charge of desc
Grating the American flag. Roberts
with two companions was enjoying
the Fourth of July in East Boston
and was intoxicated. At hotel there
Roberts took a small American flag
from his pocket and, after making in
sulting remarks, tore the flag into
shreds and threw them in the face of
4 stranger. Several of those present
drove the three men into the street,
where one Bostonian singled out Rob-
erts and gave him such beating that
the latter has since been confined to
the hospital. Roberts is an English
man.

LAST RESTING PLACE.
Body OF the Late Ambassador Paunce-
fote to lie Inferred mt
stoke, Eng,

Washington, July Sit has been
determined that the body of Lord
Pauncefote, late British ambassa-
dor at Washington, shall be Inferred
at Stoke, near Newark, in Noting
hamshire, England, instead of at the
old Pauncefote estates at Preston.
Stoke is short distance from Lon
don, and is the seat of Sir Henry
Bromley, who occupies Stoke hall.
The Bromleys are branch of the
Pauncefote family, and one of the
younger Bromleys married a daugh-
ter of Lord Pauncefote. 1t is deemed
desirable therefore to have the body
rest where the friends and relatives
are now located, rather than to be
taken to the old home at Preston,
from which the family have been sep
arated for some time. Moreover, the
ancient burying place at Preston has
been closed, owing to the number of
bodies there. These considerations
have led to the decision to make the
interment at Stoke, to which place
the body will be borne when the
United States cruiser Brooklyn ar
rives at an English port.

New York's lower bay. Albay killed 49,
900 people in 1914, and Balusan in
1852 broke out in sympathy with
Mauna Loa. There are three active
volcanoes in Mindanao, one in Ne
gros, and the name of Fuego (''Fire')
tells it's own story.
Porto Rico's only volcanic symptom
is the earthquake habit. This ia
shared by the Danish islands, for
which we are dickering. The oppo-
nents of the Nicaragua canal number
IA volcanoes near it's route upon
which we have an option.
Our tallest volcano, surprising all
save few remote chimneys in South
America, is St. Elias, in Alaska. Steam
ing away westward from his majestic
summit lies a succession of high vol
canoes, the last trifing affair of
5000 feet on the island of Unimak,
well out in Behring sea.
Uncle Sans "home farm" scstains
it's place among the outlying fields.
The Yellowstone geysers are a
semi-volcanic phenomenon seen no.
where else except in Iceland and
New Zealand, northern California
and a large part of the Rocky
mountain states record in their physi-
cal features some of the vastest up
heavals in geological history. Shasta,
Hood, and numberless lesser cones are
volcanic. On Mount Scott the climber
can wade in recent volcanic ash, while
the fiat lands to the eastward are old
lava beds of vast extent. Active erup-
tion might take place at number
of points in this region. In Nebraska,
whose soil is pitted with dried-up vol
canic lakes, and low, extinct craters,
the people of Ponca have recently
been apprehensive of trouble from
the smoking mountain Iona, which
was in eruption in 1871.
AS a rule, however, our volcanoes are
fortunately so placid as to do COM
paratively little harm if they ex-
plode.

WILLIAM TELL UP TO DATE.
A Dime Knocked from n Mans Head
by an Expert swordsman With
out Touching n Hair.

How would you like to take a
chance at having a cavalryman cut
a ten-cent piece off the top of your
head with a sword?
Handle v. Phasey, the English
bandmaster, was willing, and has a
letter from n cavalryman stationed
at Winnipeg, Man., to show for it,
states the New York World.
Sergt. Page was samitted to be
the most expert swordsman in the
cavsiry barracks, and had often
boasted that in the "one-two" sword
exercise he could cut coin off the
top of a mans head without brushing
a hair.
But until Mr.. Phasey came along he
had not found man who was willing
to do the civilian Tell" act to help
him make good his assertion.
When Mr.. Phasey came to the bar
racks and was told of the sergeant's S
boast he Immediately sent for the man
and promised to provide the head and
the coin for the experiment. The en-
tire company gathered to see the thing
done and preparations were made to
take care of the bandmaster in case
Page should clip off slice of his head.
Sergt. Page barred his arm, placed Mr..
Phasey in an erect positionwith ten
cent. piece on the very top of his head,
stepped back about five feet, and be.
gan the 'one-two" exercise.
'He slashed backward and forward
in long sweeps with his heavy weapon y
says Mr.. Phasey, leach stroke coming
closer, until the wind from the blade
raised my hair each time. Finally he
stepped bit closer, and with slant.
ing downward stroke struck the coin
clearly and sent it spinning across the
barracks.
"The sergeant said afterward that he
wouldn't repeat it for $500. But have
testimonial telling that I am the
most foolhardy idiot that ever visited
the cavalry barracks"

TEACHERS MEET.
National Educational AssocIntion
Opens Its Convention mt
Minneapolis

Minneapolis, Minn., July S.-Methods
of education, with the injection of in
ternational relationships, formed the
chief themes in the initial sessions of
the national council of the National
Educational association Monday, while
the dilatoriness of the Indian in the
acceptance of civilization occupied the
attention of the Indian section. More
than 1000 delegates arrived Monday
to attend the convention and reserva-
tions of apartments already in hand
indicate that fully as many more dele
gates will reach Minneapolis to-day,
when the first general session of the
Educational association will be held.
DR.. w. r. Harper, president of the
University of Chicago, delivered an
address before the national council
at night in review of the education
progress of the year. He referred to
Yankee supremacy invarious branches
of pedagogy, and in conclusion painted
picture of an Anglo-American alli-
ance in the fields of enlightenment and
humanity, describing the scholarship
bequests of Cecil Rhodes and the Car
negie endowment of national uni
versity at Washington as the greatest
educational events of the last decade.
The Unitarian church, in which the
sessions of the national council are
held, was crowded beyond it's ca
pacity at the three gatherings Mon
day. In the afternoon, Charles b.
Gilbert, superintendent of schools at
Rochester,N. Y, discussed the "Func-
ton of Knowledge in Educa-
ton" He was followed by William
Z. Harris, United States commits
sioner of education, who delivered
an address on The Difference Be
tween Efficient Causes and Final
Causes in Controlling Human Free
dom" John w. Cook, president of
the northern Illinois normal school,
at Normal, Ill, opened the discussion
of these two addresses.
In the Indian department L. N.
Compton, superintendent of Indian
school of Wisconsin, urged that edu-
cational work among the redskins be
devoted chiefly to agriculture. Miss
Alice Robertson, supervisor, Creek
utNldltu
the uneducated white people formed
the greatest menace to the education
of the Indians in that they offered de-
terrent influences.
President S. NJ. MCGOWAN, of Okla
homa, president of the Indian sec
ton, declared a tendency was appar-
ent to overcrowd the development of
the Indian. He said Christianity
could not be taught to a white man
in minute, and that an Indian re-
quired generation in which to learn
it. The Indian, he said, should be
led and not driven, and the leaders
should not lead them too fast.
Il. d. Shut, of Tulalip, Wash, said
the Indian boy and girl should be
taught to do the same work on the
farm. Miss Robertson dissented
from this, on the ground that the In
dians already force their women to
perform too much manual work.

More than 1000 Men Died from Chol-

London, July 9.-While Harry De
Windt has been undergoing tragic eX-
periences in Siberia, his nephew,
Charles Vyner Brooke, son of Rajah
Brooke, of Sarawak, who married De
Windt's sister, has been having ter
rible time in the northern part of

Senior Palma and Gov. Jennings
were very complimentary toward each
other. In soaking of Florida Senior
Palma seemed greatly touched. IF
it had not been for Florida" he said,
"Cuban independence would probably
never have been realized. When other
ports one at time closed against us.
Jacksonville still remained open.
There was always a little cigar store
there from which arrangements could
be made to start any expedition
which had been planned. If the Span
ish consul had put bomb under the
little cigar store instead of doing so
much protesting to the government,
he would have accomplished more"
President Palma spoke in a very
amusing vein concerning the matter
of coaling stations. He said the Gu
bans thought very much of Key West,
and that he thought the United
States, instead of demanding the Isle
of Pines for coaling purposes, should,
on the contrary, give Cuba the island
of Key West. Key West is closer to
Cuba than Florida, anyhow" he said.

ferred. AS to whether he would be a
candidate for vice president in 1904,
Senator Beveridge said: II will under
no circumstances become a candidate
for vice president, and at no time have
l been considering the matter. l am

Senator Beveridge said he had heard
his name used before in connection
with the vice presidency but he re-
peated emphatically that he has no
idea of becoming a candidate.

Many Eruptive Peaks Among the

Including islands "outside of the

Our flaming peaks are not his

latter in 1882 burst fountain of
blazing lava 1000 feet wide and from
200 to 700 feet high-the most awe

THE NEWS eATHERERS.
Army and Navy Will Regard Them
ms Enemies During thJ Mnneuvers
on tho Atlantic Const.


Washington, July 9.--Up to this
time the war and navy department
officials have considered but two fac
tors in the coming joint army and
naval maneuvers on the Atlantic
coast in September-the invading and
defending forces. Now, according to
the plans of Secretary of the Navy
Moody, there is to be a third factor
the press of the United States.
The secretary believes that as the
press plays an important part in real
war it should be considered in con-
nection with the coming maneuvers.
Therefore, he contemplates throwing
the press correspondents of the coun-
try upon their own resources, mean
while having both invaders and de-
tenders regard the news gatherers as
common enemy" and endeavor to
mask the movements of their forces
as much as possible from the public.
1t is not believed that under Secre-
tary Moody's plan there will be any
thing to prevent news organizations
from chartering vessels of their own
and keeping up with the fleets at sea
the best they may, for this was done
in the late Spanish-American war. In
the late war the great press organi-
cations also had correspondents
aboard the fiagships of the fleets.
Secretary Moody points out that
his plan will be valuable in bringing
to light news "leaks" for which of
ficers who are found responsible will
be reprimanded.

Drowned.

New York, July s.-A man commit
ted suicide Monday afternoon by jump
ing from Brooklyn bridge. A rope
was thrown to him from passing
tug, but he evidently was bent up
on dying, for he refused the rope,
and soon sank from view. The body
was not recovered.
Before making the leap the man
asked the driver of a wagon to let
him ride, and the request was grant
ed. When in the middle of the
bridge he jumped off the tail board,
removed black derby hat, laid it on
the roadway, took four one-dollar
bills from his pocket placed them be-
side the hat, sprang to the top of the
rail and plunged over. The hat had
the mark ''South Norwalk, Conn.," on
the inside band.

BUCKET SHOPS LOSE.
Decision of Judge Hook, of United
States Court, In Favor of Chi
cngo Board of Trade.

Kansas City, Mo-, July s.-Judge
Hook, in the United States court,
Monday, in handing down a suit
brought by the Chicago board of
trade against the Christie Grand and
Stock company, of Kansas City, to
prevent the use of the Chicago
boards quotation, neld against the
bucket shop on almost every point.
An appeal to the United States SUI
preme court will be taken. In it's
suit filed a year ago the Chicago
board of trade claimed a proprietary
right in its quotations and under the
new bucket shop law sought to COM
pei grain spectators in different
states to pay for the use of them.
The Christie company fought the case
on the ground that the Chicago board
of trade was itself bucket shop
without standing, and further that
its quotations were public property.
The suit was in the form of an appli-
cation by the board of trade for a
temporary Injunction.
