OLDEST SON OF PRESIDENT is MIS-

ny ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, July o.-Theodore Roosevelt,
Jr., eldest son of President Roosevelt, has,
it is reported, had narrow escape from
being shot as a marauder by secret service
officials who guard his fathers home at
Oyster Bay.
He had been visiting the home of a
neighbor, returning to Sycamore hill about
10 O'Clock in the evening. The family
had gone TO bed and the house was in
darkness.
Hard to See.
The moon was shining brightly, but be.

a short distance were indistinct.

he was almost on the steps.

covered him until they got close enough
to recognize the presidents son.
They thought it was good joke; but
the fact that he got SO close before he was
picked up by the secret service men has
caused a change by the officers guarding
the president.
One Man on Guard.
At times during the daylight and early
evening only one secret service man has
been on duty.
After midnight two men went on and
remained until after daylight until they
were relieved by the single man who took
up the day watch.
Henceforth two men will be on guard

Rome, July o.--Since his illness the pope
had not begun day as satisfactory as
this.
Indeed, hopes of his recovery reached
such point as to make the general public
believe the pontiff soon might be out of
danger.
No better expression of this view could
be given than in the words of DR.. Lap
poni, uttered on leaving the sick room at
about noon, that although he did not yet
dare to hope, he had, perhaps, ceased to
despair.
Followed by Attack.
This promising outlook, however, was
followed by the startling announcement
that the pope had been attacked with diar-
rhoea, apparently caused by the large
quantity of food he had taken, and that
consulting physicians had been sent for

assistance, walking, across the room to his
armchair and having his toilet fully pre-
pared, even to the detail of being shaved
Ihr9ughout this procedure the pope
deed, he jokingly alluded to the amount
of nourishment which was being imposed
on him and said
Il ought to grow fat as | have never
had in all my life as much as | get now"
Struggle With Death.
This buoyancy of spirit was considered
to be one of the principal co-efficents in
the struggle with death, which this admir-
able old man has made in the last seven
days.
The doctors, previous to the alarming
attack OF this afternoon, said there was
not the slightest dimnuton in the acute
ness of the pontiffs mental faculties, as
shown this morning in a remarkable man
her, when the pope insisted on going over
some of the large questions of Church
policy laid before him by Cardinal Ram
polla, papal secretary of state
At o'clock in the afternoon although
no worse the pope was not reported to be
any better, and then came news of the
pontiff's sudden relapse and of the sending
for consulting physicians.
Arguments the Weakness.
The pope was suddenly attacked this
afternoon with diorrhoea apparently
caused by the large quantity OF food he
had taken, and to which he is unaccus-
toned, together with his extreme weak
ness, The development in turn augments
his weakness.
DR.. Pozzoni has just arrived at the sick
room, owing to the sudden change for the
worse, in the condition of the pope, A
consultation will be held.
After a long conference in the night it
was decided that in case the pope grew
worse there would be a consultation, at
which at least one new physician should
be present.
Doctors Mazzoni and Lapponi decided
that under such conditions a physician
whom they would prefer was Professor

NEW MEAT LAW
WORRIED GERMANY
BERLIN MERCHANTS COMPLAIN
THAT THEY ARE PLAED AT
GREAT DISADVANTAGE.
ny ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Berlin, July o.-1he German meat law,
which went into effect in April, is hav-
ing more serious consequences CONNER
cially than anticipated.
As the regulations require the inspcc-
ton OF meats and lard TO take place in
bonded warehouses before export and the
inspection fees are heavy. the German
merchants complain that they are placed
at a great disadvantage in transit trade
They had hitherto supplied Austria and
switzerland with American meats and
lard sending directly from the warehouse
sitaout inspection.
Where the meat law has been applied,
owever me Belgian and Dutch shippers
are getting all the Austrian and Swiss
trade and Germany is losing the transit
profits.
The German shippers. therefore. are
calling loudly for the abolition OF the
inspection requirements in the case Of
export goods.

Much Interesting Testi-
mony Given in Trial
of Nipper Case.
EXPERTS ON STAND
Mining Engineers Give
Evidence in Noted
Litigation.

The trial Of the Nipper mining case, in
which i. Augustus lIeinze nominally rep
resented by Il. Hickey and others, is the
plaintiff IN interest, and The Washoc and
Anaconda Copper Mining companies are
the defendants, and the first big mining
case 10 be tried in long time, was OH in
earnest In Judge Clancy's court today.
James MacFarlane Testifies.
The first witness for the plaintiff, Ex-
pert James Macfarlane, was on the stand
all forenoon and part Of the afternoon,
and he told what he knew about the lodges
and veins Of ore in the litigated property,
the Nipper claim Of the United Copper
company, and the Oden and other claims
adjoining and belonging to the defendants.
Mr.. Maciarlane, who was IIeinzc's su-
periniendent Of the kppcr mine for some
time in iSo7 and later, traced Nipper
vein and apex from the surface OF the
Nipper down 10 the I,3oo level Of the de-
PENDANTS properties by means OF several
highly-eolored maps during his direct ex-
animation in the forenoon.
His Testimony Differs
In the afternoon, under cross-examina-
tion, il was discovered that his testimony
of the morning differed widely from that
given concerning the same deposits Of ore
in a previous suit.
lie said today that the ore vein in a cer-
tain Anaconda raise was I8 inches wide.
II was shown, by reference to a transcript
OF his testimony in the other suit that he
then said the deposit was I3o feet wide.
lie explained the discrepancy with the
statement that the developments since the
previous trial have enlarged his knowledge,
and induced him to believe now that the
ore in the raise is merely what he desig-
mated as a "dropper" from the main ledge,
hanging from the hanging wall.
Questioned by Thomas.
When the cross-examnation of Mr..
Macfarlane opened in the afternoon, Mr..
Thomas, for the defendants, held the
transcript OF the witness testimony in
the suit between the Washoe company
and Hickey and others, and asked his
questions.
Mr.. Macfarlane testified under question
that he believed he had hitherto sworn
that the, apex OF the Niipper vein would
be on the hanging wall at the surface.
What was the width of the vein at
the top of the Anaconda raise at the vest
end of the working?" Mr.. Thomas asked.
AT that time there were not such de-
yelopmcnts as now. ! should Qualify"
replied the witness, when Mr.. Thomas in
terruptcd him.

Attorney Truitt has a hen that

That seems to be almost as valu-

particular hen egg is figured out in
this way: Last fall when the price
of eggs rose almost out Of reach Of
millionaires, MI. Truit decided to
start an egg plant of his own. He
built a chicken coop which cost $40;
then he purchased As hens that were
guaranteed to be good layers, for

The traveller who leaves Plym-
outh for London by the Great
Western railway will notice when
he has proceeded two and three
quarters miles and is passing the
244th mile post from Paddington
that the train crosses a single
line Of railroad almost at a right
angle on the level. To it immedi-
ately succeeds an overbridge, and
then, on the left hand or "of" side
may be seen the single line in ques-
tion, laid upon rough stone blocks,
but presenting a decidedly out-of-
date appearance. Perchance a train
of four or five little trucks loaded
with square Jumps OF china clay
and drawn by a couple Of horses,
may be seen, but in half a mile the
old line trends away northward and
is lost sight Of. 1t belongs, says the
Railroad Gazette, to the oldest rail
road company in the world.

DECAYED GERMAN NOBILITY.
Few of the Titled Folks Amount to
Very Much.

According to the annual edition Of
Perthes' Almanac of the German no
bility thousands Of walters, coach
men, baTmen, miners and otherwo.k-
men in the United States are recruit
ed from the ranks of the German no
bility. Herr Won Nordegg, an I'm
inent authority on the aristocratic
world of the Fatherland, says, in
commenting on the book, that a
glance over its contents reveals the
ominous fact that practically every
blue-blooded family Of the empire is
now represented in the United
States, where their scions for the
most part are engaged in the hum
blest employment. To this it may be
added that not only in America and
other foreign countries are scions Of
noble German families found in the
lowest strata OF society, but even IN
the Fatherland the names Of the
very Oldest mobiles which appear in
the highest ranks of the army, court
and oficialdom are encountered
among coachmen, copyists and COM
mon laborers.
In all Berlin one lawyer only is
of noble birth, while the city direc-
tory gives lists Of hundreds Of agents,
constables and skilled and unskilled
laborers with fine old noble names
Marriage with commoners in these
aristocratic circles is always regarded
as, and generally really is, marriage
for money. The German nobility
unlike the English, cannot separate
from such marriages the odium o.
mesalliance. In German noble fam
lilies, unlike the English nobility, thu
fathers title lie inherited by each o
his children, resulting in an endless
posterity Of counts, ~cOuntesses, etc

HALF LUCK.
This Man Finds That the Good and
Bad About Balance.

"There is such a thing as luck
and there is such a thing as half
luck, said freside philosopher, toa
Detroit Free Press writer. MANY
men are heard to complain because
they don't have luck; but I'm fairly
well satisfied, for l have had half-luck
all my days.
when | was a little shaver about
eight years old my mother sent me
on horseback from our farm to the
country store at the crossroads to
exchange, or trade as we then said,
six eggs for some brown sugar. 1
carefully placed the eggs three in one
jacket pocket and three in the other.
My mother wanted me to carry them
in a little basket or a bag, but | had
my own notions, and wouldn't do it.
Well, in trying to make our old horse,
Dolly, run at a circus gait-after got
out Of sight of the house, was
thrown off and broke three of the
eggs. When l reached home with a
small quantity of sugar and an egg
spattered jacket, l received the two
doughnuts which had been promised
me for going after the s~ugar-also a
lively switching from my mother for
breaking the eggs. That's what l
mean by half-luck. had broken only
half the eggs, and was both rewarded
and punished.
"This half-luck has presided over
my life throughout; Tyemade money
and lost some if it; good health is
mine about half the time; one of my
sons is industrious-the other is not.
one daughter married well, and the
other one did not. 0fmy two wives

all the way along; but Pm not com.

NEGRO QUEENS NERVES"
Latest Adjunct of Civilization to Be

Civilization is making way in Abys-
sinia. The latest innovation is
nerves. These have been developed
in Queen Taitu to quite an alarming
extent, and when King Menelik com
plains, she retorts hal he is all for
civilization, and now he has got it she
hopes he likes it, says the London
Telegraph. Cali European women"

give way to nerves; if they do any
thing which is not just quite what it
ought to be, it is nerves; even if they
murder their husbands or run away
with another man, it is excused be-
causethey were afflicted with nerves"
The latest exhibition Of the nerves
of the black queen was induced by the
Inauguration Of the new railway. The
emperor announced his intention Of
going, and had all his best clothes
brought out, including his choicest
umbrella, when he was arrested in the
midst Of his preparations by his con-
sort, who declared hal she must go,
