She stopped and picked UP the note
where it had fallen, talking continu-

had she so wished.
Dora writes such a pretty hand;
they say those who draw well write

sketches. Here is your note; it reads

Mrs. Allen spoke rapidly, but with
not a trace of excitement; more as
though she would give the girl no time
to think. She unfolded the soft gray
shawl, and laid it over a chair, then
she opened the note with no break in
the conversation, and read aloud:

PronuneIatIon Of Maeterllnek.

The correct way to pronounce the
name of Maeterlinck, the author and
dramatist, is as though 1t were spelled
Mahterlink," not Mayterlink, or Met
serIink, as it is variously called. The
French pronounce 1t Mayterlink be,
cause the sound of ae in French is "a, .
but in Belgian French the ae is pro,
nounced "ah." Maeterlinck is a Bel
gian, having been born at Client in
1854. He has been styled The Bel
gian Shakespeare" 1t was In 1890
that he FIRST became famous upon the
production in Paris Of his play, la

FINDS AND KILLS TARANTULA.
Venomous Insect Had Terrorized Fam
lily for Six Months.

IVY TOT DIX MoutNS.
An ugly, venomous tarantula from
the tropics was dispatched at the
| home of William link, in Gloucester
| City, after it had terrorized the family
for six months, says a Philadelphia
dispatch. link was a former fruit
dealer, and one day half year ago,
while he was handling a bunch Of
bananas, the huge spider hoped out
and stretched itself link and mem.
bers of his family searched for the in
sect for some time, without avail, and
then concluded that it had escaped.
Not long after, however, the tarantula
was discovered in the house, and again
chase was given it, but once more it
escaped by hiding.
At intervals ever since the taran-
tula had been seen at various places
through the dwelling, but in every in
stance it managed to elude its pur-
suers. 1t soon got to be reign of ter
ror in the house, and the inmates
shivered at the slightest sound.
Just as he and his wife were aris-
ing this morning link once more
caught sight of the tarantuia as it

room.
Hal" cried link. Il have you at
last" and he Ieaped wildly toward the
ceiling.
The huge insect dropped behind the
picture frame and mysteriOusly dis
appeared. Sure that he was on the
trail, link determined to rid the house
of the creature, and continued the
search. Finally, after two hours of
unceasing scrutiny, he came upon the
tarantula crouched in a crevice in the
wall, where it may have hidden all
these months. After a terrible battle
link killed it and proudly exhibits the
hairy body at his home. It measures
over five inches across it's legs.

Famous Hatfield Family to Live in the

The Hatields, famous in Kentucky
and West Virginia for their feud with
the McCoys. have deserted the old
battle-ground and gone to the far west.
About fifty strong, they have bought
land near Chehalis, Wash, where they
will settle. 1t is nearly half century
since the feud began between these
two families. Ever since then the
trouble has been more or less of a
terror in the mountain border land of
Kentucky and West Virginia, scores
'of lives having been wiped out on each
side. For some time there has been
comparative peace. The present exc
dus is due to the influence of friends
who have already colonized in the

Soldiers Claim It Was the Rioters and
the Latter Refuse to Talk.

No one knows who fired the first
rioters while the rioters make no
claims and refuse to talk about 1t. The
governor Is said to have instructed the
authorities to not jeopardize the safe
ty of the Jail with half way measures.
The soldiers and deputy sheriffs fired
into the retreating mob of men who
ran into Division street, falling, crying
and praying. For Is minutes the fir
ing continued, then 1t ceased. The
mob was gone and the soldiers held
the place. In front Of the staggering
band of 5S soldiers lay the dead and
wounded. Means and shrieks Of agony
and fear came from the injured. Ed
Schiffman, a painter who was seen in
the first ranks Of the mob during the
evening. lay on the sidewalk, the top
of his head blown completely off with
45-caliber Springfield bullet and his
brains oozing on to the sidewalk A
short distance from him lay another
man and close by the bleeding form of
another young man lay dead with q
bullet wound over the heart.
Wounded Rioters.
All over the street, crawling and
moaning wounded rioters and onlook-
ers tried to ease their pain and es-
cape by getting away from the Jail.
On Division street, lying between her
grief-stricken father and mother the
little Altman girl was dead with her
breast torn away with a buckshot
charge. She was out driving with her
parents who, attracted by the noise,
stopped a few minutes to watch the
excitement. In the yard of the court
house wounded rioters lay and back of
the line of soldiers two of the militia
men had fallen. On the Jail steps
stood Sheriff Kratz. At his side was
Col. Mccoy, of the First regiment.
Around them stood a few doctors and
reporters. When the firing had ceas-
ed Capt. Blum reformed his men and
gave them orders.

ONLY CONSCIOUS FOR SHORT TIME

BULLETIN.

Rome, July 7.-7:42 a. nn.-The pope
has taken nourishment four times dur
ing the night. His pulse shows a
slight Improvement. At half.past 6
o'clock Tuesday morning he left hls
bed for an arm chair.
Rome, July 7.-Another morning has
broken on the scene within the simple
chamber of the vatican where Pope
Leo lies dying. AS the soft light OF
dawn penetrated into the room the
pontiff whispered to his devoted ply
stefan that he desired the shutters OF
the windows to be opened, saying, II
wish to see once more, perhaps for the
last time, the rays of the sun"
1t was for only a short period that
the pope came back to consciousness
from a sleep which DR.. Lapponi had
induced by a strong dose of choral.
His sleep was so deathlike that artifi-
cial respiration was continued and DR..
Lapponi every few minutes leaned anX-
iously over the couch to observe the
patient and to listen TO his hardly per-
ceptible breathing.
Feeble to the Extreme.
Pope Leo awoke wet with perspira-
ton, feeble to the extreme, and his
voice hardly audible. The fits of
coughing had brought pains in his
chest and shoulders, and, thinking his
end was near he said to DR.. Lapponi:
Tell me when the time really comes"
The doctor assured his holiness that
he believed the danger Of his immedi-
ate death was averted for the night
and for Tuesday.
These seemingly last moments of
Pope Leo are full OF solemnity. Per-
haps his last hours would be less mel
ancholy and sad if the august sufferer
were less conscious Of the circum-
stances and his mind less clear as to
the duration of time remaining to him
before he enters eternity. Although
his physical powers are at the lowest
ebb, and his breathing more labored,
the pope's mind is clear, as is mani
tested to all around him by his bright
expressive eyes and the few words he
now and then succeeds in uttering.
