The evening papers here print glow
ing eulogies of the deceased professor,
CHASING him as the worlds greatest
medical and scientific reformer and
saying that no other man had so deep
ly influenced modern medicine and
that no other had such worldwide
reputation and so many followers in
all lands. The papers also praise his
humanitarian activity in improving the
Berlin hospitals and other sanitary in
situations and the liberal organs extol
his political activity and answering
liberalism.

of Native constabulary.

Manila, Sept. 6.-Rios, fanatical
leader of the irreconcilable natives in
the province of Tayabas, Luzon, at
tackled the town Of Laguimanoc Sep
TENDER 8 at the head of 80 rifemen
and $50 men armed with bolos. The
band wantonly killed two women and
one girl and wounded several other
persons. A detachment of the native
constabulary arrived Unexpectedly at
Laguimanoc while Rios men were
still there. They attacked and routed
the bandits, killing several Of Rios
followers and rounded up 700 men,
many of whom are suspected Of com.
plicity in the attack on Laguimanoc.
The guilty ones among the 700 men
will be picked out and the remainder
set at liberty.
One of Rios lieutenants who was
captured said Rios was a direct de-
scendant of God and that it was be-
yond the power Of man to injure him.
The constabulary have also captur
cd one of Rios mountain strongholds.

cHATTANooeA's GUEST.
President Roosevelt Royalty Enter
tanned BY the Citizens.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Sept. 7.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt was the guest Sunday
of the citizens of Chattanooga and
right royalty they entertained him. He
came ia Chattanooga primarily to at
tend the national convention of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen.
and Monday he will be the guest of the
railroad men, but Sunday Chattanooga
as a whole entertained him. From
early morning until late Sunday he
was driven from one historic place
to another, and the details of the bat
ties that have made this city famous
were explained to him by men who
were participants in the struggles. The
battlefelds of Chickamauga, Mission
airy Ridge, Orchard Knob and Lookout
Mountain we're driven over.
Sunday night he attended the First
Baptist Church, of which Rev. ]. w.
Brougher is the pastor.
A very pleasing incident occurred
shortly before the president resumed
his inspection of the battlefield. A
delegation of citizens of Georgia,
headed by H. R. Harper, of Rome, pre-
scented to him a cane cut from the
Chickamauga battlefield. 1t is of hick-
DRY, with a silver head and band suit
ably inscribed On the head is the
following:
Presented to President Roosevelt by
Citizens of the Seventh Congressional
District of Georgia, September Z, 1902"
On the band are the names of six
of the generals who participated in
the battle of Chickamauga-Long-
street, Wheeler, Hood, Rosecrans,
Thomas and Boynton. The 7th Georgia
district was the home of President
Roosevelt's mother, and he alluded to
this fact in accepting the gift.

HIS OWN EXEGUTIONER
VIM. Bartholin, Chicago Double
Murderer, Suicided.
In a Pocket of the Corpse Was Found
a Confession Acknowledging the
Killing of His Mother and
Minnie Mitchell.

Riceville, Ia, Sept S.-The body
which was buried here Saturday morn
ing and which was believed to be that
of William Bartholin was exhumed
Sunday and positively identified as
that of the Chicago double murderer.
The Identification was made by Vim.
Mitchell, a brother of BarthOlin's MUIR
dered sweetheart, and Lieut.. Andrew
Rohan, of Chicago, who arrived here
Saturday morning from Chicago. DR..
A. J. Coey, of Chicago, Bartholin's den
fist, who came here with Lieut.. Ro-
han, cut out the lower jaw of the dead
murderer, which contained the two
gold crown teeth which have figured
so largely in the description sent
broadcast throughout the country for
purposes of Identification. The jaw
will be taken to Chicago. Bartholin's
body was found last Friday about six
miles from Riceville by ]. G. Pratt, of
Riceville. Pratt was driving to Elma
and when passing a fax field saw the
body lying against a stack of flax.
Thinking it was a man asleep, he paid
no attention at first, but on returning
he found the man still there, and upon
investigation, discovered that he was
dead, and a revolver lying near his
left hand. Coroner T. S. Carpenter was
notified, and the body was removed to
an undertaking establishment at Rice
vile. There ]. B. Cook, editor of a
Riceville paper, discovered that the
dead man bore a striking resemblance
to the published pictures of the Chi
cago murderer.
The text of the confession left by
the suicide as made public by DR.. T.
S. Carpenter, coroner of Howard coun-
ty, follows:
"To whom it may concern: 1 want to
state 1 am the Bartholin the
police are looking for. Also wish to
certify had no assistance of any kind
from any one. Thompson, Claffy and
Counselman are all as innocent as an
unborn child and should be freed at
once.
81 can not go into detail in regard
to the crimes. They we're not planned.
1t was all Minnie and could do. My
mind is wandering. Such a drop in
life in a short time. Two months ago
travelling in the Best of company; to-
day living the life of hoboes; muir
derer.
81 intended to go into details and
tell all, but 1 can not get my mind
centered. Even my handwriting is
disgraceful.
But above all things, I ask you to
clear everybody under suspicion. There
is no second party; l am the last.
w. J. Bartholin."
1t transpires that Bartholin came
to Riceville August 6, before the bod
ies of his victims, Mrs BarthoIin,
his mother, and Miss Mitchell, his
sweetheart, was discovered.

BLUNDERING COURTESY.
The Obliging Young Man Had Hair
on His Head and Could Spare
His Hat
DiscOvers the Right Thing at The
Right Time.
A FREE TRIAL.

Excessive Bndliness of heart, when al
he'd to laundering courtesy, is occasionally
productive of an amusing incident Of such
Is the following: A president in recent
times of one of our royal colleges was noted
for the possession of a trim little yacht
which he was fond of sailing in one of the
reaches of the River Thames, says the Can
did Friend. One day the president had the
misfortune to capsize his craft, with the
consequent result of complete immersion.
He was Immediately assisted ashore and
a change of clothing providedat an adjacent
boathouse. This, however, did not include
a hat of any description. The president.
who is an old man and correspondingly bald,
stood shivering, his scant hair uncOmforta-
bly, stirred by the breeze. His plight was
observed with respectful compassion by one
of the students of the college who had wit
messed the catastrophe, and offered his own
headgear. The president, however, seemed
reluctant to accept it, saying: IF | take
yours, what will you do?" ooh, sir" said
the student, cit doesn't matter for me. I've
got hair on my head" This statement was
accepted as final by the president, together
with the cap, and ne laughed heartily at
what, after all. was not wholly a one-sided
joke, for the CONSERVATION of the student
may be better imagined than described.

MAGAZINE BLEW UP.
One Man Killed, Five Injured and Two
Missing.

Boston. Sept. S.-One Of the powder
magazines at Old Fort Winthrop, on
Governors Island, upper Boston har-
Dor. blew up Sunday night, with a de-
donation that was heard at points ~
miles away. The cause OF the explo-
sion is not known.
One dead man and five injured were
brought to the city by the police boat
and while it is believed that this is
the extent of the casualties, it is pos
sible that others may be found SUI
fering from the force of the concus-
sion.
The dead mans name is Albert II.
Cotton, of Somerville. Joseph Wake
field and James Ryan are missing.
The injured are James A. Crowley,
Christian Knudson, Charles Flanagan,
Dennis J. Swanson and Paul Barry,
all having flesh wounds besides suffer
ing from shock.
There are several old ramshackle
wooden buildings at the southerly end
of the island, but the fort itself, only
little of which is visible above
ground, is Of stone, some of the granite
blocks being of immense size.
The force of Sundays explosion is
shown by the fact that some of these
great blocks were hurled several hun
dred yards, while one of the largest
was sent out into the air and came
down through the citadel in the center
of the fort, making a hole large
enough to drive a team of horses
through. All over the island the effects
of the explosion are visible, while in
East Boston, South Boston and in the
city proper the conclusion was severe
enough to break windows and shake
buildings to their foundations.
The powder exploded consisted Of
about six tons, and was stored in one
of the numerous classmates that were
built under ground around the citadel.
The other classmates were empty. Each
of these apartments was built with
granite walls 20 feet thick and covered
with earth and masonry to the depth
of 35 feet At first it was supposed
the bonfire set on the island caused
the explosion, but later, when the po-
lice learned that it would be impOssi-
BILE for fire to have reached the powder
by accident from the outside, they
decided that the cause is unexplained.

Tie Vessel Captured By the Ger
man GunbOar Panther.
The Panther Then Fired on the Crete
a-Pierrot Until She Was Complete
ly Immersed-Thirty Shots
All Told Wero Fired.

Port Au Prince, Hayti, Sept. g.
The German gunboat Panther arrived
here September and received in
structions from the German govern
ment to capture the Firminist gunboat
Crete-a-Pierrot. She left Immediately
for Gonaives, the seat of the Firminist
government. The Panther found the
Crete-a-Pierrot in the harbor of Co
naives and the commander of the Ger
man gunbOat informed Adm Killick,
on the Crete-a-Pierrot, that he must
remove his crew and surrender his
vessel in five minutes. Adm. Killick
asked that this time be extended to
Is minutes. This request was granted
on the condition that the arms and
ammunition on board the Crete-a-Pier-
rot should be abandoned when her
crew left her.
The crew of the Crete-a-Pierrot left
that vessel amid great disorder. At
the end of Is minutes the Panther sent
small boat carrying an officer and 20
sailors who were to take possession of
the Firminist gunboat. When these
men had arrived at a point about 30
yards from the Crete-a- Pierrot, flames
were seen to break out on board her.
She had been fired by her crew before
they left her. The Panther then fired
on the Crete-a-Pierrot until she was
completely immersed. Thirty shots all
told were fired.
There is much feeling here against
the Firmlnists and their cause is con-
sidered to be bad one. Soldiers are
leaving here to attack st. Marcus.
Port Au Prince is calm.
The German gunboat Panther ar
rived at Port Au Prince September 5.
1t was announced from Cape Haytien
September that the German steamer
Markommia, Capt. hansen, belonging
to the Hamburg Packet Co.,
having on boards and ammunition sent
by the provisional government to Cape
Haytien had been been stopped Sep
TENDER by the Firminist gunboat
Crete-a-Pierrot at the entrance to the
harbor of Cape Haytien and that an
armed force sent on board the steamer
from the gunboat took possession of
the war ammunitions in spite of the
protestations of Capt. Nansen and the
German consul.

which reached her dock Sunday, were
the bodies of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles L..

with broad bands of white ribbon and
rare floral offerings were banked

caskets were removed from the pier
the American line officials refused to
allow any one except the immediate
relatives, who came to claim the bod
les, to enter the chapel. 1t was after

plain black hearses with closely drawn
curtains drove on the dock, followed
by an ordinary public carriage. In
the carriage were Mrs. Hermann Gel
richs and Mrs. William K Vanderbilt,
jr., sisters of Mrs. Fair. They were
met at the pier by agents of the New
York Central railroad and by Col. John
Jay, who attended to the details.
