sitting room adjoining their sleeping
apartment on the first floor had been
neglected. During the night gas
escaped and filled the lower rooms.
Frank H. Werkhelser, a son-in-law,
who slept on the second floor awoke
Sunday morning and detected the
oder which by this time had began to
permeate the entire house. He went

scious. All the windows and doors
were hurriedly thrown open and ef-

but he was able to save only the life
of Mrs. Englehart, her husband never

An Almost Fatal Injury.

Prof. Ralph Sands came within an
ace of losing his life Monday as the
result of bite fom pet rattle snake.
The reptile was one of a number
brought to the Normal School and
placed in the biological department
by Prof. Sands from his home in
Hawley, this state. He entered the
biological department Monday even
ing, to feed the snakes, as had been
his custom for some time past, when
in an instant the reptile sunk Its tangs
into his hand. The wound was a
dangerous one, and would probably
have proven fatal had not Mr.. Sands,
with presence of mind, extracted the
poison by sucking This however did
not prevent it from swelling, and two
hours later it had attained such enor-
nous size that DR.. J. w. Bruner, who
had been hastily summoned, was fear
ful of the result.
Mr.. Sands has completely sur
vived the accident, but he will no
doubt exercise more care in the fut-
ure, at any rate he wont regard them
as pets.

SUICIDE AT wATsONTOwN.
Clinton C. Hughes Ends His Life Saturday

Sad information of the death OF
Clinton c. Hughes reached Blooms.
burg Saturday, and was received with
profound sorrow, by all who knew
him. The first report was that he
had committed suicide, but as he had
been IN the habit Of sleeping with a
revolver under his pillow, many hold
to the belief that the revolver was ac-
cidentally discharged. 1t was about
seven o'clock Saturday morning,
when Mrs. Hughes and a daughter,
who had just gone down stairs, heard
a pistol report. The latter informed
her mother that 1t came from her
fathers room. They called up stairs,
but receiving no answer, both rushed
to the second story. They were horri-
fed to find Mr.. Hughes reclining on
the bed with a bullet wound in his
right temple. Neighbors were called
in and doctor summoned, but he
never regained consciousness.
Mr.. Hughes was we'll known in
this county, particularly throughout
the upper end. Early in life, he at
tended, school at the Orangeville
Academy. He left the institution to
enlist in Co. E. I3a Regiment Penna
Infantry. After returning from the
war he taught school in Orangeville
and other places. He married Miss
McHenry, daughter of the late James
McHenry of Cambria, who with one
daughter, Miss Fora, survive.
Mr.. Hughes was kind hearted,
generous man and Notwithstanding
the fact that appearances would seem
to indicate that the shot was fired
with intent to kill himself, his more
intimate friends will not entertain the
belief. He had no trouble, surely not
of pecuniary nature, and always ap-
peared to be happy.
The remains were taken to Ben ton
and inferred in the cemetery there on
Tuesday.

Hay and the Roumanians.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Continual
rumors that the British Government
was consulted by the State Depart
ment before an appeal was made by
the treaty powers on behalf of the
Roumanian Hebrews are not well
founded declares a London dispatch to
the Tribune. All the powers were treat
ed on terms of equality, and there were
no conferences in advance with Lord
Lansdowne. The promptness with
which the Foreign Minister took up the
subject was characteristic of the ad-
ministration of his office, but not a
proof that Great Britain and the United
States are hunting together in the dip
lomatic field. He is a glutton for work,
and keeps fully abreast with the routine
of the foreign Office, where business is
seldom in arrears. His action on this
question was sympathetic, the dispatch
adds, but was not the result of pre-
ARRANGEMENT.

At special meeting of the Mer-
chants Association Saturday f. W..
MacfGIlane submitted his report upon
the plan Tor the encouragement of
tourist travel, following his conference
with the Planters Association. A re-
quest had been made that the fifteen
cents per ton levied on imported mer-
Chandise, being raised for quarantine
purposes, be turned over to be used In
the promotion Of tourist trade. This
fund amounts to nearly $4,000 n year
and is paid out now, 5000 per month "
the Board of Health, $500 per month for
fumigaton of wharves and the re-
mainder amounting to Sll00 per month
had been paid towards bulkheading the
wharves and liquidating the Castle IL
Cooke claim. The proposition to use
the entire amount being unfavorably
received, it was requested that the
money now used for other than health
purposes go towards the tourist fund
This latter proposition has been reduc-
ed to writing and presented to the
Planters Association, where 1t is prom
Used a favorable consideration.
An extension of ten days was granted
the committee and in the meantime .
reply will be received from the Plant
ers' Association. Special assessments

MARCtl> M AND
SHRS ADVENTURE
Japan Loon, Tor Financial Succ,.
IN the South Sea
Islands.

TOKYO. Sept 20 The Marcus Island
affair has been beneficial In one lmpor-
tant respect. In other words II has
been the means Of informing our coun-
trymcn of the presence of many unex-
pl1red natural resources In the South
Seas and therefore Of encouraging
their entorprisinE spirit
II was by MIR. Shnroku Mizutani. as
We have more than once pointed out
here that this lovely bit of land In the
South Seas was first explored and first
subjected to "A systematic method OF
exploitation. Mr.. Mizutani Is however
an adventurer and not "A business man,
80 that had he not found I'm Mir. kami-
tald. late of the Yokohama l}oyeki
Shotcn. an able collaboration supplying
the very qualification FOR success which
Mir. Mizutani lacked. Japans enter
prise in the South Seas might have suf-
feTed a serious check ana the Marcus
island complication might have ended
in way quite different TO that In
which it has ended.
MIR. MlZUTANTS FIRST PROJECT.
MIR. Mizutani's first object in Toriji-
ma was IA simple one, consisting in the
killing Of albatross ond getting the
feathers. With the diminution OF the
supply of bird, however, this business
became not very profitable, as the
feathers of one bird could not fetch
more than 2-l0 sen. Under the circum-
stances Mr.. Mizutani had the idea of
abandoning Minami Torijima and shift
ing his field of adventure further south.
MIR KAMITAKI.
Then Mr.. Kamitald appeared on the
scene. The fact was he had incidental
ly heard of the great price which stuff
ed South Sea Birds command. He ac-
cordingly made overtures to Mr.. Mizu-
TAM, asking him to conclude a contract
for the supply of 10000 South Sea
birds stuffed and at the price of sen
per head. The offer was a revelation to
Mr.. Mizutani, but automatically he
asked for sen, and at last the bar
gain was struck at 2l2 sen. The con-
tract was duly fulfilled in March last.
Sometime after the conclusion of this
contract Mr. Mizutani. from curiosity,
sent "A number of stuffed white swal-
lows" to a certain biological specimen
dealer in Tokyo. He was amazed to
hear from the man that he was ready
to buy any number of the samples at
40 sen apiece The amazement which
Mr.. Mizutani first experienced soon
turned into anger against Mr. kami-
TAXI who. he thought, had imposed up
on him, by taking advantage of his ig-
norance. The two gentlemen had ex-
citing interviews quite frequently on
the subject till at last Mr.. kamitaki
was induced to give 1900 yen extra for
the whole supply of 100000 birds. The
two men are now on good terms and
are said to be fast friends bound by
the common interest of exploiting the
hidden resources of the South Pacific.

a NEW WRIGHT THEORY.
American Electrical Progress.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-At meeting
of the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers in this city, President Scott
said that since the organization of the
institute in 1884, the value of electrical
Installations in the United States out
side of telegraph and telephone plants
had increased from 81, 900, 900 to over $4,-
100000, 900. ''The United States" he
added, with only one-fifth of the pop
ulation of Europe and Great Britain
has two and Cnethird times the kilo-
watt capacity IN power stations, and
three and one-half the mileage of cleo
trio railways. The power houses in OPP
GRAFTON and under contract in New
York City would replace all the central
stations for lighting and power in
Great Britain or Germany; they would
operate all the electric railways Of
Great Britain and Europe combined;
one alone would be sufficient for the
railways of Germany and the output
Of a single generator would run all the
railways of Switzerland"

BRITISH

VISITS Us
Sir James Mackay
Here From
China.

one of Great Britain's most distin-
ruished diplomats spent "A few hours In
Honolulu yesterday during the time
that the steamer Coptic was in port.
This was Sir James Mackay, who has
represented Great Britain in the con-
ference of the powers which fixed up
the new Chinese tariff. He is now on
his way home to England by way of the
United States.
Sir James is something of charac-
ter in diplomacy He knows considera-
BILE but does not care to impart his
knowledge to others. When interview
ed yesterday he declared he had moth
ing to say about the tariff as he had
said all he wished to say to the other
powers and to China regarding it and
that he thought speaking in those
quarters would do more good than talk
ing all day to u reporter in Honolulu,

though-ha' ha." And with merry
laugh he walked away to join Lady
Mackay and his daughter
In his youth Sir James was trained
up for IA hard business career and be-
came IA prosperous merchant, and 1T is
probable that in this way he learned
some of the tricks of intricate diplo-
macy of which he is master. He per-
suadcd Chinese mandarins of the first
class to agree to a business revolution
which they had for years been con-
WINGED would not only be opposed to
the interests of their provinces but
would also practically ruin their own
pockets.
The work of Sir James Mackay con-
sisted of getting the mandarns to
agree to the abolition of the lilSin du-
ties and in their place substitute duties
to be settled upon by negotiation. Ii
this agreement is carried out by the
! Chinese it will be wonder, as it places
them at the mercy of the European
trader. They practically open their
| markets free to the whole Of Europe
and cannot put duty on products I'M
less by negotiation 1t is first found to
be satisfactory to the nation Interested
in exporting goods into that market.
The English papers of the Orient are
very outspoken in their praise OF Sir
James Mackay. and claim that he mas
done much to bring about a more cor
dial commercial feeling between CHINA
| and the Western nations.

Mascagni Coming

PARIS, Sept. 27.-Pietro Mascagni
and his wife are here on their way to
America, where Mascagni will fulfill an
engagement to conduct a hundred per-
formances of his own operas by COM
pany formed under his supervision.
He embarks on the steamer Philadel-
phia at Cherbourg today. He is very
enthusiastic over his trip to the United
States, which he will now visit for the
first time. In an interview Mascagni
pointed out that the administration of
the Licie Musicale Rossni at Pesaro,
of which he is a director, voted his dis
missal because of his accepting his
American engagement which involved
such a prolonged absence from Italy,
on the ground that he was sacrificing
art to- dollars. But the public feeling
in his favor was so strong that the
Minister of Fine Arts interviewed and
revoked the decision. Mascagni goes
from New York direct to Washington,
in order to be present at the first per-
Torrance of Hall Gaines Eternal
City for which he composed the in
cidental music.
