London Mobs Threaten
Life of Sell Styled
Messiah.
LEADER OF NEW SECT coWED
Will Remain in Retirement Until Pop
ular Resentment Dies Out = Bitter
Feeling of the People Worries the
City Authorities.

LONDON, Sept. ZV.-.lne pupiiS eA-
citement in London over the fanatic
Pigott, who styles himself the Messiah.
furnishes curious study in sociology.
It has been proved this week that the
mere mention of his name was suffi-
cient cause for the assemblage of a
mob of many thousands, all anxious to
do grievous bodily harm to this i'm
poster.
The common people refuse to treat
with Indifference or as a joke the
sublime effrontery of this peculiar in
dividual, who there is some reason to
regard as a monomaniac instead of a
mountebank.
1t is a strange commentary upon the
supposed phlegmaticism of the worlds
metropolis that it is necessary to as
semble several hundred policemen for
his protection whenever it is known
that this pastor of small parish is
going from his house to the church to
conduct service. The offender has
never criticised or attacked the inter-
ests of the populace. He has done
nothing of any public concern except to
announce the other day to the members
of his little sect that he was the rein
carnated Christ.
He made no fuss about it. He did
rot manifest the slightest desire for
temporal power or even recognition out
side his own small circle of followers.
His declaration got into the papers.
and forthwith the passion seized many
thousands of Londoners to tear him to
pieces. This strange popular craze
seems to be more characteristic of
egotism than pious desire to punish
blasphemy.
Bitterness Widespread.
The feeling is SO bitter and wide
spread that the authorities are almost
at their wits ends. There was an as
tonishing example of this last night. A
coachman stopped in front of the North
London station ana remarked jokingly
to bystander that he was waiting for
Pigott. The rumor spread like magic
and a large crowd which assembled
within few minutes grew to a mob of
many thousands.
The station and the converging streets
were packed. The railway authorities
telephoned to Scotland Yard and fhe re-
serves FASTENED from all the nearest
police stations. 1t was two hours be-
fore they succeeded in controlling the
mob and traffic was resumed. The peo-
pie showed a very angry temper.
The cry was constantly raised of
Here he comes.' This was followed
by shouts of Down with the imposter!
Let's get at him.
Meantime the putative Messiah seems
to have been rather cowed by the storm
he has raised. IL is said by his heu-
tenants that he will remain in retire
ment for the present. He has no mate
rial ambitions. He lives in almost
luxury with his wife, who has consid-
cradle means.

The gas bag, which is seventy feet
long, is capable of holding 20.Go0 cubic
feet Of hydrogen. 1t is so constructed
that If, in the event of mischance, it is
torn, 1t acts as parachute, bringing

The motor is the mcst interesting part
of the mechanism. A slender platform Of
bamboo and rope suspended from the bal
loon acts as a car, and carries the en-

three or four persons. The patrol motor,
which has capacity OF thirty horse
power. is placed as far as possible from
the gas valve.

Editor Advertiser:-I would like tc

treatment accorded residents of Waia-

The bridge, on the Waialae side of
Kamoiliili church is being repaired by

This individual blocked the bridge
about five this afternoon, compelling

Another ERE Night.

Fire broke out at 10 o'clock last night
in a kitchen in the rear of the store of
Hong Kong, corner of King and LiIiha
streets. but owing to the quick work
OF Condor Of the night patrol, native
named Hopper and Takamatsu, the
blaze was extinguished before it had
an opportunity to break out Of the
room. The cry Of Fire" was shouted
by a japanese. who went to a telephone
and called Up the police station. The
patrol wagon was made ready to re-
spond to an alarm but none came, as
Condor and his men had the blaze out
before the excited Jap could turn in a
box alarm as requested of him by the
police. Condor had TO break in the
doors to the kitchen to get at the blaze.
Hong Kong said he was the only one
who hid access to the kitchen, and he
locked the door after raking down the
fire. at O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
The woodwork was badly burned. The
kitchen is located on the ground floor
of a nest of wooden buildings grouped
around the corner, which would have
burned like finder but for the. prompt
work of the night patroIinan.

Minneapolis, July 19.--The impeach-
nsent of Mayor A. A. Ames will, it is
said. be the next sensation in the Min
neapolis police scandal. No definite
steps have been taken in this direction
but the members of the city council are
seriously discussing the matter. and it
is the opinion of those who are in Il
position to know that the impeachment
Is more than probable. Nothing has
been heard of Superintendent Of Police
Fred w. Ames. 1t develops that May
or Ames granted him leave of absence
until July 25. If he does not return by
that time, and no one expects that he
will, the council will declare his Office
vacant. There is some question Of the
ability of the authorities to prove that
the chief is a fugitive from justice. To
do this it will be necessary to prove
that he knows of the Indictment against
him. While there is no question that he
does know of it. it would be difficult
matter tc prove. Efforth are, however,
being made to locate him.

Areas Infested by the Insects Will
Be PlOwed Under.
Crookston, Mimi, July l9.-The state
entomolo3ist, F. L. Washburn, has
found that the reports current regard
ing the grasshoppers near Hill river
have been highly exaggerated. He has
just left that district, where he has
been spending the past few days in
vestigating matters. He states that the
grasshoppers have been feeding in the
ore spot about one mile wide and four
miles long. They have confined them
selves to this territory and have not
spread. The amount of damage done
to the crops within this boundary Is
not nearly so large as has been report
ed, and as the little insects are now
through eating for the season the work
Of the farmers will be confined to ex-
terminating the pests. 1t is now the
time for them to lay their eggs, and
the fields will be watched carefully.
This fall the ground will be plowed
under wherever the grasshoppers have
been seen. In this way Mr.. Washburn
says the hoppers can be almost wholly
exterminated.
