believe that Dick McLish will be nom

SUDDEN DEATH.
]. q. Smith Dies Very Suddenly
Of Heart Failure.

j. 81. Smith, a member of the firm
of Hagan & Smith Livery and Feed
Stable, died very suddenly and I'M
expectedly at the home of his partner,
O. w. Hagan No. sos South street.
Mr.. Smith retired at the usual time
after days work. He was in his
usual health and had made no COM
plant about any illness. The evening
meal had been eaten with his usual
relish and he had been in good spirits.
The wife was awakened about fifteen
minutes of three O'Clock this morn
ing by the peculiar breathing of her
husband. A gurgling sound in the
throat was heard. When she at
tempted to awaken her husband she
found that he was unconscious. She
called assistance and a doctor was
soon called but the sufferer was dead
quite before the physician arrived.
Angina pecroris was the cause of the
death.
The deceased was born in Indiana
He came to this state and county a
number of years ago and went into
business with Mr.. Hagan in Cedar
township and the gentlemen have
been partners for the past twenty
four years, ten years of which time
have been spent in business in this
city.
The death of the man is great
surprise to his many friends and ac-
quaintances who were in conversation
with him at his barn and upon the
street yesterday. The kindliest of
sympathy goes out to the family in
their bereavement.

A Question Mark in the Sky.

AT sunset recently a peculiar COM
bination of wind currents whipped the
shoulder off dark cloudburst on the
southwestern horizon of Wichita, Kan.
and carried it northward until other
wind currents stopped it. In the con-
tact of the opposing winds, says the
Detroit News-Tribune, the cloud frag-
ment was transformed into a perfect
question mark, which hung dark il,
front Of an effulgent setting sun for
nearly ten minutes. While the average
citizen gazed on the silhouette with ad-
miration and with wonder at the acci-
dent of it's perfect formation at that
time and place, some superstitious per-
sons manifested their alarm in various
ways, principally by falling upon their
knees and praying. The scare is now
over, and everybody understands that
the creation was purely accidental.

A NicetY of Leave. .Talking.

A little nicely of leave-taking that is
practiced by certain well-bred wom-
an. says the Dundee News, is to rise to
end the visit while she is the speaker.
In this way she is apparently leaving
while she is much interested. This is
better than to start at the end Of
pause, or to jump up the moment your
hostess's voice drops. One way implies
boredom. the other waiting for
chance to get away.
This may seem trife of observance,
but it is worth while if only to train
ones self in the habit of easy leave
taking-a rare accomplishment even
among women with wide social expe-
rience. Once standing, leave promptly.
and avoid spinning out second visit
in the hall.

Sydney Parliament House.

In January, 1883. Lord Darlington,
then governor of New South Wales,
laid the foundation stone Of what was
intended to be a gorgeous pile of par
liamentary buildings in Sydney. Dur
ing the fifteen years that have since
elapsed it has not been introduced to
single companion. and has stood
in silent, solitary, satirical isolation.
Once more the propriety Of providing
Sydney with decent parliamentary
house is being urged. The collection
of ramshackle wooden sheds that have
served for sixty years are reported to
be in imminent danger of collapse
through the ravages of white ants.
How they have contrived to escape
destruction by fire is a puzzle. They
were originally erected in the early
years of the last century by a trio
of enterprising Sydney citizens. who
undertook to build a hospital if per-
mitted by the ruling military authori-
tiles of the period to import $4,000 gal
Ions Of rum. Hence the original col
loquial name of the Sydney parliament
house-the Rum Hospital. London

London Crime.

Rarely docs any official report con-
tain such depressing matter as that on
prisons Just issuel from the Home
Office, says the London correspondent
Of the Baltimore Herald. 1t formally
records that during last year the num-
Der of people in prison increased by
between. 1900 and $4,000, as COM
pared with the previous year. III Lon
don criminality had so largely in
creased that between 5000 and 1000
prisoners of both sexes have to be
transferred to provincial iails for lack
of adequate accommodation in the me-
tropolis. Nor is this terrible growth
of lawlessness Of an abnormal charac-
ter; it appears to have acquired nor
mality, judging from the fact that the
number of London commitments in
creased from S8373 in 1901 to 5S,591
in 1901. !,

Titled Convicts in Jail.

"A Vienna paper states that few peo-
pie have any idea Of the large number
of men and women of noble birth
undergoing penal servitude on the Con-
tinent, says the London Express.
1t estimates that Russian prisons
alone contain 10000 aristocrats, while
there are several thousand noblemen
in the penal establishments of Italy.
Two Dukes of Notarbartolo are, for
instance, at present undergoing penal
servitude for life in the Italian prison
Of La Maddalena for the brutal MUIR
der of young officer whom they had
swindled at card playing and who had
threatened to denounce them as card
sharpers.
Among the convicts in Belgian
prison are Prince Charles de Looz.
COswarem, who committed a number
of gigantic frauds and one crime of
violence, and the Marquis of Varcla,
for the murder of his own mother.
In France there are several hundred
titled aristocrats in prison, and though
no statistics are available regarding
Austria and Germany. the same state
of things is said to exist there, also.

A Bowlder For ingalls, Grave.

The grave of John J. Ingalls,, at
Mount Vernon Cemetery, will be mark
ed by native bowlder deposited on
Kansas soil in the glacial period. This
will be done in obedience to letter
written in the Senate chamber at
Washington, December 10, 1890, to
Mrs. ingalls, at Atchison. The letter
follows:
"This life is so delightful that 1
dread the thought of leaving it. I
have seen and experienced so little of
what may be seen and known that it
seems like closing volume which I
have only glanced at the title page.
Our ground in the cemetery should

lisks, urns and stone cottages, and

and nothing else.''
"A stone such as described is now

Tho Man. Eating Carib.

Colonial reports are often dull pro.
ductions, and they seldom get beyond
the official pigeonhole. But Mr.. Hes
keith Bell sends a really interesting
report on the Caribs of Dominica,
which should have a wide circulation.
Very mysterious is the origin of the
fierce savages, now almost extinct,
who We're in possession Of the smaller
West Indian Islands when the first
white men burst Unto that silent sea-"
They showed distinct Mongolian
character, and it would be hard to dis
tinguish Carib infant from Chinese
child. Some twenty years ago China
man who had drifted to Dominica de-
clared the Caribs to be his own people
and married a purebred Carib woman.
The resultant child showed no devia-
ton from the native type. To-day
they have dropped their man.eating
ways, but in the sixteenth century
they secured the Spanish Main in
search of human food and from Puerto
Rico alone are said to have taken
more than 5000 men to be eaten.
Though Spaniards, Frenchmen,
Dutchmen, negroes or Arrowaks We're
all meat to them, yet these CaribS
seem to have shown an interesting
preference for certain nationalities.
Davis. for instance. in his History of
the Caribby Islands, tells us that "the
Caribbeans have tasted of all the ma
tions that have frequented them. and
affirms that the French are the most
delicate, and the Spaniards are hard
est of Digestion Laborde, also, in
one of his jaunts in ST. Vincent, ap-
pears to have overraken on the road
a communicative Carib who was be-
guiding the tedium of his journey by
gnawing the remains of boiled hu-
man foot. This gentleman only ate
