SHOT BY MINISTER'S son.


The State Department is informed
that w. Godfrey Hunter, jr., son oi
the recently resigned United States
Minister at Guatemala City, yesterday
shot and killed man named Fitzgerald,
of Grand Rapids, Mich. Hunter has
taken refuge in the legation and an in
teresting question has arisen as to his
exemption from arrest.
Important details are lacking in the
report of the affair received at Washing
ton, and the officials are in doubt as to
what should be done. They have no
notion of surrendering without protest
an American citizen to the courts OF
Guatemala unless satisfied that the man
is a proper subject for punishment.
Even then it is not at all certain that
the department itself has the right to
waive any legal exemption that the man
might have. International law lays
down the precept that an ambassador or
minister may not of his own accord sur
render any such exemption in his own
case. A closer inspection Of the original
advice revealed the fact that the only
name by which the man was known was
Fitzgerald. He was shot four times.
1t is suggested in Washington that
the shooting may have been the re-
suit of the recent relief Of DIR, Hunter
from his post as Minister, The
doctor has been steadily embroiled
with members of the American
colony almost since he assumed office in
1897, and lately, owing to his connec-
ton with a government railroad and
other matters not supposed to be proper
for minister to meddle with, the pres
sure became so acute that the department
was obliged to relieve him from Office. 1t
may be that Fitzgerald was connected in
some way with the charges against the
Minister
Godfrey Hunter, jr., is we'll known in
Louisville, KY. He is about 80 years
of age. and has acted as his fathers pri-
vate secretary at the legation in Guate-
mala for some time. He figured in a
social affair in Louisville which was ex-
tensively aired about year ago. DIR.
Hunter and his son went to Louisville
last winter. The son was taken serious
ly i'll while there, and for time his life
was despaired Of Fitzgerald made
charges about year ago against DIR.
Hunter. He criticised sharply the way
in which DR.. Hunter conducted his office
and made some serious reflections on the
minister. Fitzgerald while on trip to
this country gave out an interview at
New Orleans, in which he scored Dr.
Hunter and his son severely. lie an
nounced that he would prefer charges
against DIR. Hunter at Washington, but
the matter was never taken up by the
State Department.

ALEXANDRIA STEAM BAKERY

A SHoEMAKER's FIND.-ln a pair oil
old shoes left in his shop to be repaired
Axel Sorenson, a crippled shoemaker
of Chicago, found SO, 500 yesterday. The
money was in the possession of Sorenson
lust two hours, when the owner return
ed. saving: 81 think ! lost little
package in here" On describing the
nocketbook in which the money was con-
tanned. Sorenson returned the property.
As reward he was paid 10 cents for the
work in repairing the shoes. Sorenson
was busy when a well-known resident OF
Evanston entered the shop and, tossing
him a pair of shoes, which were wrapped
in newspaper, asked that the heels be
straightened. A half an hour went by
and Sorenson opened the package, pass
ing the shoes over to a workman. A
well-flled pocketbook fell on the floor.
Picking it up Sorenson found five sloo
bills and SO, 600 in checks. There was
no card in the pocketbook and Sorenson
failed to get the name of the man who
left the shoes. However, he knew the
man by sight and when the owner re-
turned with the story Of having "drop-
ped little package" the shoemaker ask
ed if it was money. The owner was
pleased at finding his money-so
pleased, in fact, that he told the story
of how he came to put the pocketbook in
the shoe, and paid his bill of 10 cents:
~ came home late Thursday night and
had this money in my pocket" he told
the shoemaker. 'While / was putting
on nv shoes yesterday morning my
nocketbook fell on the floor. | was lac
ing my shoes and, picking up the
pocketbook, / dropped it into a shoe
that was by the side of the bed. Then

MEDICINAL.

Physicians are calling attention to the
fact that influenza or grip has come to
stay. In the larger cities there has been
a marked increase in diseases affecting
the organs OF respiration, which increase
is attributed to the prevalence OF infiu-
enza. Persons who are recovering from
grip or influenza are in weak condition
and peculiarly liable to pulmonary dis
ease.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
cures coughs, bronchitis, lung ctrouble"
and other diseases of the organs of res
piration. 1t is the best tonic medicine
for those whose strength and vitality
have been exhausted by an attack of grip.
1t puri6es the blood, cleansing it of

The partaking of slice of pineapple after
meal Is quite in accordance with physio-
logical indications, since, though 1t may
not be generally known, fresh pineapple
juice contains remarkably active diges-
tive principle similar to pepsin. This prin-
ciple has been termed .'bromeiin," and so
powerful is its action upon proteids that il
will digest as much as 1000 times it's weight
within few hours. Its digestive activity
varies in accordance with the kind of pro-
ted to which it is subjected. Fibrin disap-
pears entirely after time. With the coag-
ulated albumen of eggs the digestive pro-
cess is slow. while with the albumin of
meat Its action seems first to produce a
pulpy gelatinous mass which, however,
completely dissolves after a short time.
When slice. of fresh pineapple is placed
upon a raw beefSteak the surface of the
steak becomes gradually gelatinous owing
to the digestive action of the engine of the
juice. OF course, it is well known that di-
gestive agents exist also in other fruits,
but when IL is considered that an average
sized pineapple Will yield nearly two pints
of juice 1t will be seen that the digestive
action OF the whole fruit must be enor-
nous. The activity of this peculiar diges-
tive agent is destroyed in the cooked pine
apple, but unless the pineapple is pre-
served by heat there is no reason why the
timed fruit should not retain the digestive
power. The active digestive principle may
be obtained from the juice by dissolving a
large quantity of common salt in il. when a
precipitate is obtained possessing the re-
maj hduic uiSSSllNe powers just ueSCTlDeu.
Unlike pepsin, the digestive principle of
the pineapple will operate in an acid, neu-
trail, or even alkaline medium, according
to the kind of proteid to which it is pre-
scented. 1t may, therefore, be assumed that
the pineapple engine would not only aid
the work of digestion in the stomach, but
would continue that action in the intestinal
tract. Pineapple, it may be added, con-
tains much indigestible matter of the ma
ture of woody fiber but it is quite possible
that the decidedly digestive properties of
the juice compensate for this fact

fast tea is foreign to her. In London
o'clock tea Is great institution, there
about the city. There is the fashionable
dainty tearoom in Bond street. where
pretty women. and often men, too, gossip
and occasionally talk scandal. Then all
over the city are cheaper but none the less
good tea-shops, run by two or three COM
panies. such as the Aerated Bread Com
pany. These tea places are also very popu-
lar for light lunches, the London clerk or
typist being partial TO tea or coffee with
his or her lunch. Tea, too. is served in
the afternoon TO their employees by some
firms. others allowing their men short

breakfast in general is not so substantial
as that in America. with its hot cakes,
cereals and meat. Such articles of diet as
griddle cakes and corn cakes are almost
unknown, and fruit does not find place
on the breakfast table.
1t seems strange that the American does
not make use of his delightful dry summer

what could be more enjoyable than dinner
on the terrace or piazza? But the American
does not seem to use his opportunities in
this direction to any extent. In Germany

London, laid out in imitation of a Partisan
establishment, one may dine in the open
air in any part of the grounds, to the en-
livenins strains of a band, or eat ices and

These ventures are apt to be failures in

VEGETARIAN CAT IN JERSEY.
Tommy Magruder, of Newark, Owns
Her and She's a Remarkable Cat.
New York Sun.

new DIX Sun.
The vegetarian cat owned by Tommy
Magruder of Newark, is in clover just now.
Everything on the little acknowledgements
farm, where the cat and Tommy both live,
is at it's best and the cat does not miss
much that is ripening except the bell pep
pers tomatoes and celery. These she does
not like, but she eats lettuce, cabbage and
green corn, raw, with avidity.
She prefers her corn husked, but will
husk ii herself in a rough way If 1t is left
where she can get at ii. WOODY, the
boys call her, has never been known to
climb a cornstalk to get at an ear, but she
is seen every day nipping parsley and let
tuce, and few days ago she was caught
eating into a growing cabbage. Succotash
is one of her favorite dishes, but she is
fond of cooked string beans, warm or cold.
Boiled sweet or white potatoes suit
Woozy's peculiar taste at any time and
she also likes the latter fried or creamed.
But she is wasteful in eating raw green
corn from the cob. She will strip one cob
completely. scattering a great deal of the
corn over the ground, and will take sly nips
out of three or four other ears meanwhile.
Woody is a great-grandmother and her
progeny never has shown any desire for a
vegetable diet. One of her children showed
a morbid desire for ice and ice cream and
was fond of clans and oysters, and all
but Woody have shown the usual cat S
craze for crabs, Holsters and fish. Woody
will let the fish go and tackle a plate of
cold corn chowder in preference She eats
beef or mutton, but daintily, and she will
leave cold meat for cold boiled onions at
any time.
