Yet God hath called it here,
A little bud too sweet for earth,
Has gone to bloom in Heaven.
But over his precious face

And from our sight the little form
Forever more is hid.

HERNIA MADE A. FIGHT
He Killed a Man for Refusing to
8 Sell Him Dog Meat and Then
Objected to Being Hanged.

New York, Set 19.-Peter Hernia was
hanged. in the county Jail at Hackensack,
NJ, day. for the murder. of Barney
Kanter, a butcher, but before his eXecu-
ton was accomplished Hernia made des-
perate fight. When two deputy sheriffs
approached him to strap his arms he sud-
denly tore off two brass brackets on the
side. Of his cell and, getting into the COR
ridor, leaped over a partition. He then
tore off a. piece Of lead pipe and, crouch
ing In a corner, shouted that he would
brain anyone that came near him. BY this
time the jail was in an uproar. The sher-
iff and his deputies were at first puzzled
as to how to deal with the murderer and
disarm him. 1t was finally decided to
turn a hose on him. This was done and
as Hernia put up his hands to ward off the
water from striking him in the face a dep
uty sheriff. leaped over and grabbed the
hand of the murderer in which was the
lead pipe. Other deputies quickly rushed
in. Hernia was finally overpowered and
securely strapped. He was then placed in
a chair and carried to the gallows, his
clothing dripping wet: He was lifted from
the chair and the moose quickly adjusted
about his neck The sheriff then asked
him If he had anything to say. He replied
in a weak voice: 49, :
Good bye, all. Excuse me-"
The drop was then sprung and Hernia
died OF strangulation The condemned
man, during the night, asked frequently
for whisky and this morning he refused
to eat his breakfast. When whisky was
refused he smashed a chair: in his cell and
two priests who were with him had great
difficulty in calming him.
Hernia shot Kanter on March last be-
cause the latter would not sell him 5
cents worth Of dog meat. Kanter ex-
planned that his supply was exhausted,
but Hernia pretended not to believe him.

NEW BOXER REBELLION
China Is Said to Be on the Verge
of Another Up
rising.

Washington, Sept. 19.-China is on the
verge of another boxer uprising which
may equal that Of 1900, according to mail
advices received at the state department.
from Minister Conger, dater last month.
The troubles apeloar to arise principally
from extortionate taxation com bined with
resistance to the presence Of missionaries,
thus justifying the judgment Of the de-
partment of state, which pointed out to
the powers that he demanded for indemni-
les would result In serious Internal
troubles In China.
Mr.. Conger's first advice bears date OF
Aug s, from Picking and he reports serious
anti-foreign riots near Chentu in the pro-
vince Of Czechuan in which a number Of
native Christians had been massacred and
chapels destroyed. Mr.. Conger appears
to- have acted with energy upon tele-
graphic complaints from Dr. Canright an
American medical missionary at Chentu,
not only addressing the Chinese foreign
office by letter but calling there in per-
son to impress upon the officials the i'm
portance Of immediate and effective ac-
ton and finally succeeding in causing the
removal Of the local Chinese officials who
had failed to repress the riots

HAYS LITTLE NOTE.
Great Britain Welcomes the Inter-
: vention of the U. S. in Euro
pean Affairs.
The St. James Gazette Refers to Mr..
Hay as ''the American
Hamlet" #

London, Sept. 19.-Secretary Hays note
to the Berlin treaty powers on the subject
Of; the treatment of Jews of Roumanla,
which was received in London about a
fortnight ago; was welcomed in British
official circles. The tone Of the formal
acknowledgment Of the receipt OF the note
indicates British approval Of American in
itiative in this matter and confirms the
idea that Great Britain welcomes the con-
tinued intervention of the United States
in affairs which Europe is more directly
concerned, in the belief that such inter-
vention tends indirectly to strengthen the
hands of the British government. ~
Apart from this, the question Of the
exclusion of pauper aliens from Great
Britain is growing more acute; and anti
emigration laws are demanded in many in
1uential quarters. So the government Is
in sympathy with Mr.. Hays protest in
the hope that the wholesale export Of I'M
desirable emigrants from eastern Europe
may be checked.
The newspapers here continue to COM
ment on the United States note. The st.
James Gazette, In a semlnumorous ref
erence to 1t, says:
The European governments to whom it was adj
dressed must have been unagreeably surprised,
for the note furnishes fresh evidence OF the
growing disposition of the United States to take
a seat in the orchestra of the European concert
which some of the other performers view with
unea siness.
After declaring that it is difficult to un-
derstand what President Roosevelt hopes
to gain by the appeal to the stgnator1es
of the Berlin treaty, the st. James Gaz cite
concludes that the chief American motive
is humanity, and says:
This indicates spirit of knight-errantry
which, however creditable to great, civilized
power is likely to give the Americans plenty OF
occupation without increasing their popularity
with the governments of the old world.
Mr.. Hays contrast Of the enlightened
system Of America and the 1ntolerant
tyranny of the surviving municipalities OF
Europe is referred to by the st. James
Gazette as mot devoid Of self-compla-
cency," and as intended for the edif1cation
of mankind. The paper refers to Mr..
Hay as an American Hamlet who says:
Look on this picture and then on that and
consider whether old mother Europe should not
be ashamed Of herself.
The St. James Gazette suggests that
South Africa would welcome the Rou-
manian Jews, :'for whom the American
government is so solicitous and yet so un-
willing to welcome

THE .R0UMANIAN NOTE
Berlin Awaits the Reply of Rou-
mania Before Answering Mr..
Hays Billet.doux.
Special to The Journal:

Special to The Journal: =
Berlin, Sept. 19.-The imperial govern
ment viii await the reply of Roumania
before answering the note of Mr.. Hay, the
American secretary OF state, regarding the
treatment OF Jews in Roumania. The
best informed Berlin newspapers do not
receive the note very favorably. The Post
prints a statement Of a new Roumanian
law from the official organ Of the Rou-
manian government, from which it ap-
pears that the Roumanian Jews are
treated as aliens and are subject to the
same disabilities as aliens in respect to
compulsory membership In trade guilds.
The. Post refers sarcast1cally to In
trigsaes to lower the price Of Roumanian
stock, a. -; s.
The vossische Zeitung says it does not
expect that the signatories Of the Berlin
treaty VIII adopt Mr.. Hays suggestions,
but thinks that the circular will have
powerful moral influence. The paper
welcomes the note as an expression Of
humanity Il. esas, 49, = g
The British foreign office this evening
gave the Associated Press the authority
that his najestys government had COM
munacated with all the signatory pow
ers OF the Berlin treaty with the view Of
developing their attitude and purpose in
relation to the Roumanfan Jews as called
to the attention OF the powers by Secre-
tary Hay.
