 Lights-Mr. Franklin
 Testifies.

New York, Jan. 16-The Coroner's in- quest to determine the responsibility for the death of seventeen persons in the New York Central tunnel last week was District Attorney Jerome and attorneys representing the various interests at stakt were in attendance.
 Policeman P. H. Fox said he asked Wis train, what had caused the accident and WiSker replied: There was a train passing and he smoke and steam shut off the signals
 Joseph H. Franklin, manager of the Grand Central Depot. admitted that he had received many complaints from trainmen regarding tho signal lights in the tunnel. These men had called his at- tention to the fact that on foggy days the lights could be seen only a short distance.

 Witness admitted that this was the case On the day of the wreck, however. he said, he considered that conditions were very favorable. He said. that three hundred and twenty-three scheduled trains ran through the tunnel every day.
 MT. Franklin says he was under the orders of President Newman Of the New York Central and President Hall of the road. He said he had spoken to them about. the tunnel lights when they had taken him to task about trains being late. Nothing in particular, he said, had been done about the complaints of the engineers concerning the lights. Manager Franklin admitted that the muky morn- ing on which the disaster occurred was the first time Engineer Wtsker had taken d passenger train through the tunnel . Adjournment was then lad until to-

A Marriage in Persia.

Woman's Home Companion.
 Before dinner Is served the bride goes to the bath, accompanied by female rel atives and friends. At night as the pro- cession of the bridegroom approaches aims are distributed and women and chill dren look on from nelghboring roofs. Loud cries from the women welcome the bridegroom on his arrival, while the bride. carefully yelled. mounts the horse aW aiting her at the door.

The final ceremony Is similar to one observed by the Arabs and the Copts, namely. the sacrifice of sheep. These are killed as the bride steps over the threshold of her new home. One won ders what the idea is underlying the sac rifices. Are they intended as acts of propition, inherited from an earlier age. when people thus endeavored "to ap- pease the anger of the gods or of the spirits of their ancestors? Or is>it mere ly a way of sealing in blood an import ant act and covenant?

CHILE STILL OBSTINATE
DELAYING THE WORK OF THE -,. CONFERENCE
Senor Alzamora's Speech Was In
 terrupted by an Earth Tremor Which Shook the 0ilded Hall of Sessions.

Mexico City, Jan. 16.-The event of the day in the Pan-American Conference was, it may be said. the earthquake this afternoon. The Chileans had prolonged throughout the entire morning their dila- tory tactics. The burden of their speeches were always the same-"We are all in favor of The Hague Convention. but II must not pass through the conference without discussion"
 Mr. Buchanan of the United States Senor Macede of Mexico. and Senor Ser mejo ot Argentine, each made speeches asking in turn, If We are all agreed what is there to discuss?"
 At the afternoon session the Chilean delegates resumed their speech-making Senor Alzamora of Peru had just risen to reply when a premonitory trepida- ton spread consternation through the assembly, and for nearly one minute af- rewards the gilded hall of sessions swayed and groaned like the salon of a liner. The delegates sprang from their chairs and grabbed their desks in alarm but were rsassured by the calmness oi the MeXicans. The proceedings were in terrupted for fully ten minutes, and when the danger had passed, general hiliarity prevailed. Members of the Congress crowded to the windows of the palace to LOOK at kneeilnS croWos on the piazd. When Senor Alzamora resumed his speech. he alluded in temperate ,thougf unmistakable terms, to the differences which Chile had put in the way of th' converting of the conferences, and the ob stacles she is now making to the trans action of business.
 Bcst Cana of Chile made an effectiv, answer. The session terminated at c;S o'clock without coming to a vote on tn, plan for the acceptance of The Hagu' articles

WILD ANIMALS ASLEEP!
Heavy, Peaceful slumber of Lions,
 Tigers and Bears.
lnY Pictoral MagazIne.

Penny Pieteral Magazine.
 There is nothing odd or peculiar about the sleep of the lions and tigers. In captivity they show the same indiner- ence to danger that they manifest in the jungle. and by day or night will slumher through an unusual tumult, unmindful or unconscious of the noise. Their sleep is comonly heavy and peaceful.
 Bears are also heavy sleepers. but less disposed than lions and tigers to slumber in the daytime. Grizzly bears usually curl up under rocks, but sometimes they crawl up to the very top of the rocks, and with front paws spread around the iron cage bars go to sleep In what seems an uncomfortable position. but bears never release their muscular grasp of any object
 The black bears will curl up among the branches of a tree when they have the opportunity and go to sleep in this pe- culiar position. The Polar bears show a peculiarity in the selection of their sleep ing places. They choose one particular corner of the cage for the purpose, and invariably seek this out for the night s rest.
 The high-strung, nervous animals are the most interesting to watch at night. They usually belong to the hunted tribes, whose lives are in constant danger fin the forest, and they possess such a highly developed nervous system that they really sleep with one eye open. The slightest noise will instantly awaken them.
 The prairie wolves merely seem to close their eyes for an instant and then open them again to see if all is quiet. Many vain attempt have been made to photograph these animals by fiashlight, and without exception the camera has revealed the fact that one eye at least was partly open.
 The day sleepers in the menageries are for some reason the heaviest slumberers of all, and when they close their eyes in early morning they seem almost as stupid as if drugged. This is in marked con Al. ffswHN 1IA xryhA nFa the approach of danger, are instantly awake and on the alert

 But you are always going some place
 with the men whom you entertain here. Isn't that returning your hospitality"'' asked the man.
 "You mean to insinuate that am working them, do your she sniffed. If you could hear them beg to take me to places, and see the many ways in which refuse to allow them to send me things, you would never have the boldness to make charge like that"
 You are fortunate girl" replied the man, smiling. T can see how mar HiiHHt bt hfSifUus Ol tNtD HdNinE sOu indebted to him for a round or two of pleaurc. But how about the plain Ameri- can girl, the one who isn't charming"-- Stop it. sir." she interrupted with mock severity. There are no plain American girls. They are all charming, and if they had the slightest idea that a man was asking them out simply to re- turn previous hospitality don't believe they'd go a step."
 The New York man only laughs at the one who asks him about it. So they think we are better to our girls than the English chaps are to theirs" he will say.
 Well. I don't know. Perhaps we have more reason. There Is no girl like the American girl. is there. now? She is the finest In the world. Sort of foolish to charge her with commercialism along the lines of hospitality. That would be sort of working the men, wouldn't it, now Americans are not easily worked and

 Francis. the 5-year-old boy. who is ex- pected to die at any moment. says his mother arose to prepare breakfast and when his father got out of bed the two resumed a quarrel which had started the night before. He says his mother hit his father on the head with a hammer. His father took the hammer from her and beat her over the head. She fell to the floor and did not move again. The scream of the children seemed to enrage his father and commencing with himself CF'rancis) he used the weapon savagely on each of them.

ATTENTIONS TO WOMEN.
The Difference Between American and
 English Customs.

New York Tribune.
 Over in London just now they are hav- the question. Are Englishmen more sell fish in their attentions to women than their American brothers. and do Amer ican women dema nd much more of the men they know than their sisters in the Kings eountry?.' A certain Mrs. Tweedie started it this time by publishing re- gently in an English newspaper. The Daily Mail, some interesting conclu- sions which she had reached after some oross-queshoning of both men and wo- men. The pith of her findings was that Engiishmen were sadly remlss, due, per- haps, to the fact that English women ex- pected little of them. and that Ameri- can girls were far more sensible in de- ciding not to waste Hospitality over these who would not return 1t. All this may be very logical, but 1t does not less 1t is the English woman. who has always held to the meek and lowly role which becomes her pink and white color scheme.
 The young men in London have gone after Mrs. Tweedie with a series of semi humorous replies. They retort that no English girl would ever expect man to take her riding in the park, send her flowers and candy and buy her boxes at the theatre. Their fathers are willing and ready to supply these things. along with the entertainment of any and all young men the girls choose to honor. They assert that this is as it should be. and that the American girl who makes her hospitality contingent on it's being returned fin some way really loses in the end. Englishmen say they wish they could relieve themselves of the feeling of social liability in as easy a way. for as 1t is they suffer under 1t, and have

St. Rules Tower.
ondon Chronicle.

LolIdon ChronlGIe.
 St. Rules Tower .n the town of St Andrews, is an evidence of the link which binds St. Andrew, whose feast all good Scetchman keep. to the country of whom he is the true patron saint. The legend runs that a monk called Reg ulis, or Rule. brought the bones of st.. Andrew from Gonstantinople to Scot land and buried them near the seacoast. on the spot round which the present town of St. Andrews afterward grew. Whether the story is true or not, there seems to be 10 other way to explain the connection of the particular saint with the whole of his life up to the moment of his martyrdom in the East. James II. certainly associated him with the coCntry across the Tweed. for it was he 1887, to be conferred on the King and sixteen knights.

STAINS RICH IRON ORE BEDS
She Sells Millions of Tons to Other
 Lands, but Buys Steel.

Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 The leading industrial journal of Spain, | commenting on the fact that steamship had taken load of iron ore to the United States and had just returned with cargo of steel rails. deplores the al- most entire lack of steel works in Spain ing steel into a country that is very rich in iron ore of the best steel-making quality.
 Spain has been the classic land of the mining industry since the time of the Phoenicians and yet the main use of the country makes of its rich supply of metals is to sell them to other countries. The splendid Iron ore among the moun- the best steel grade. There Is plenty of coal with which to reduce the iron ore. the coal output in some years being worth as much as s30.00o. 900; but though Spain has every facility for making all the iron and steel the people need, most of the commodities are imported.
 In recent years. to be sure. consider able industrial activity has developed In Basque province, among the mountains, where the iron ore is dug out of the crust of the earth, and also in Catalonia. in the extreme northeast of the kingdom: mainly at the city of Barcelona and around 1t. The chief industry is the man. ufacture of iron and machinery. but not nearly enough are made to supply the demands of the country. So spain con ports thousands of tons of her fine ore to Great Britain, Germany, France and Belgium where Is is used for steel-mak- ing. Great Britain buys more than one half of the ore and most of 1t is sinelted in South Wales, the chief seat of the Bessemer steel industry
 There is only one other country thai is a great producer of iron ore and yet depends upon other lands to turn this raw material into pig iron and steel. That country is Sweden. which, however. has q good excuse for selling it's ore in- stead of making iron and steel of 1t. Sweden has practically no coal, and therefore 1t Is at a great disadvantage. for 1t is without fuel to smelt its ores. while Spain has both ore and fuel in abundance,
