pENNELL A DEFAULTER?

The Buffalo Commercial publishes q
story in which it is alleged that Arthur
r. Pennell, who was killed in an auto
mobile accident on March 10, was de-
faulter to the extent of i-.om $3.50, 900 to
5000, 900. The story, the Commercial
says, leaked out as the result Of legal
dispute over two life insurance policies,
aud is to the effect that Pennell induced
friends in the East who had known his
family and the family of his wife TO
place money in his hands for orinvestment.
He acted, in fact, as their financial
agent He would inform them of some
good investment which he had come
across which would pay an excellent rate
of interest, and they would send him
money. The money which was sent to
him for investment, it is alleged, he
spent, and when interest payments fell
due he made the payments out of his
own pocket.
Wallace Thayer, who was PennelPs
attorney and intimate friend, is referred
to by the paper as saying he had sus-
pocted irregularities, but that he had no
proof of any such wrongdOing.
incidentally it has been learned that
Pennell made provision for the payment
to Mrs. Edwin l.. Burdick of $25, 900
QUITO his life-insurance. Pennell carried
over 5000, 900 life-insurance, in order,
the Commercial says, thatai.er his death
the eastern estates to which he is alleged
to have been defaulter might be able |
to recoup the losses which they had
sustained through him. In his will |
Pennell named as administrator of his
estate his brother, ]. Frederick Pennell.
He left 10 his administrafor sealed IN
structions that upon his death ae should |
make good in full out of his estate all |
the losses which had been sustained
his defalcations.
The Commercial adds that Pennell
had contemplated suicide for two years,
and says the fact is known that "Pen-
nell planned two years ago to throw him
self in front of train at Peekskill, and
to make it appear that his death was an
accident. He stopped off at Peekskill
on the way back from New York, with
the intention of committing suicide in
that way, but his nerve failed him.
Recently he told the story Of the Peek
skill incident himself During the
Exposition he sought for
lays for an opportunity to commit
suicide in manner that would make it
appear accidental. He had an idea that
ne could be run over in some way while
1t the Exposition, but he never could
lerye himself up to the point where
le could throw himself under train or
lrop under the wheels of a trolley car"

STRIKE IN HOLLAND.

A general strike throughout Holland
of all labor engaged in transportation
both by land and water has begun. All
the railroad lines, stations and wharves
were guarded by troops yesterday. The
administration of the railroads has taken
steps to secure the running of the for
eign expresses under military protection.
The president of the workmen's COM
mittee of defense in an interview said
the strike proclamation involved the en-
tire railroad system and other land
transport of Holland and the water
transport of the important ports, Am
sterdam, Rotterdam, Dordrecht and
Zaandam. The strike, he added, was
intended as protest against the anti
strike laws as well as to support the de-
mand Of the railroad men for an increase
of wages before the passage of tho laws
made an improvement in their position
impossible. The stats of the shipping
companies trading with London and
Hull have stopped work III sympathy
with the strikers. Steamers in the regu-
lar service left as usual yesterday, but
the work of loading other vessels is at
standstill.
One thousand troops from the south
ern garrisons have been assigned to duty
at Rotterdam. The diamond cutters
have decided to strike in sympathy.
Should the government of The Hague
decide to reject the strikers demands,
the men intend to extend the strike to
the foreign railways and labor organi-
cations with which their union is con-
nected

One Messenger BOY who Was Not

Famous wit,

George AIDE is an expert at badinage,
but in Chicago one day a little messen-
ger boy got the better of him, says
the New York Tribune.
Having only few minutes for
luncheon, Mr.. AIDE had gone to cheap
place, and was sitting on stool before
q marble counter when the messenger
boy entered, took q place beside the
humorist, and ordered piece OF apple
pie. As he ate the pie the fact became
evident that his hands were dirty.
There was on his plate a piece Of
cheese-a piece of very yellow, hard
cheese, cut with math ematical preci-
sion, 30 that 1t resembled cake OF
soap. Mr.. AIDE pointed TO it and said:
Here, boy, take that and 20 wash
your hands with it,
The boy answered: you take 1t, and
60 shave yourself"
There was no possible rejoinder, ior
Mr. Adj beard was dndubitably Of tro

MODERN CARTHAGE.
where stood the Famous Ancient
city tho Stalking Camel Now
Draws American Flows.

For the first time in many centuries
some thing modern has appeared on the
site OF the ancient city Of Carthage
Here, where once flourished the arts of
war and peace, is vast, lonely plain.
OF the streets through which the con-
quering Hannibal marched in triumph
nothing now remains but the shade
less wheat-felds Popular Mechanics
describes the stalking camel Flooding
along drawing the modern American
pillow or cultivator.
The soil is as rich as It was on the
day when the Phoenicians founded the
city, and the American and his indus
tries have found their way to the his
toric spot where the Romans wrought
such devastation in their conquests.
Americans, In charge OF native work
men, may be seen directing the use of
the modern farming implements in
harvesting or tilling the soil. These
machines are a source Of wonder to the
natives, who for generations employed
only the crudest OF farm implements
The place Is on the northern coast OF
Africa, about ten miles from the pres
ent city of TunlS. Americans find the
market there for their inventions u
lucrative one.

Probably the most exclusive organi-

PORTRAIT OF DANTE FOUND.
The Valuable Canvas IL Discovered
Amid Church Frescoss At
Florence.

A writer on Ithalian art, Mr. CHA
pelli, has just discovered at Florence
In one OF the frescoes in the church OF
Santa Maria Novella figure that APP
pears to him incontestably to be that
Of Dante. This portrait differs from
the traditional description of the poet,
except for the cap.
The frescoes are by the Orcagna
brothers, Andrea and bernardo. As
Andrea was born after Dante died it
Is supposed that the figure must have
been painted by Bernardo.
Several so-called portraits Of Dante
exist, such De La Croix's, Scheffers,
etc, but they are rather pigments Vt
the poet-painter's imagination than
likenesses. The only portrait at al
true to life hitherto known is the one
by Giotti.

II Is estimated that there are now
In the United States 100000 more
single men Of manageable age than
there are single women, the official fig
ures being as follows: Unmarried men,
10,44s,153; unmarried girls and women,
7573,s19. The male population of the
United States, through the excess of
male immigration and the higher male
birth rate, is more than 100000 in ex-
cess Of the female. The span Of life Is
on the average, longer for a woman
than for man and the manageable
age for women is several years younger
than the average for men. AS con
sequence OF this the numberof widows
Is very largely in excess Of the number
OF widowers, the figures being 2, 700, 900
and 100000 respectively, says the San
Francisco Argonaut.
There are more divorced women who
have not remarked than there are
divorced men, and for all these reasons
the number of the single men of mar.
riageable age is larger than the num-
Der OF single women. In New York 1t
is 100000, in Pennsylvania 10000 in
Ohio 10000 In Illinois 200, 900, in Cali
fornia 100000 in Texas 10000 and In
Kansas $1,000. In Massachusetts the
number Of unmarried men exceeds the
number Of unmarried women by only
few thousand. In Utah there are 49,
900 unmarried men and 5000 unmar-
ried women Of manageable age. In
Washington, the capital. the number
of single men IL $4,000 and OF single
women about the same.

COWBOYS CAPTURE RED DEER.
American Westerncrs Find Them
Harder to Catch with LnssSs
Than wild Horses.

Two of Buffalo Eill's cowboys, now
performing at the Olympia, London,
Tom Webb and 81 Compton, had what
they called the best days sport they
ever had in their lives on the grounds
of Loudwater house, the residence OF
Panmure Gordon, at Rickmansworth,
recently. They were invited to las
500 a herd of red deer, and found
them trickier to capture than wild
horses, but after determined con-
test the cowboys were yictors.
The chase ranged over 12-acre
field, fringed with woods, out of
which the deer were driven by beat
ers, whose attempts at capture they
had hitherto defied. First came fine
stag, which seemed the leader. He
eyed the cowboys with an air OF de-
fance and contempt. The coils OF
rope Missed through the air and fell
around the legs Of the stag, but be-
fore the loops could be drawn taut
the animal bounded five feet into the
air. Several times the cowboys failed
but eventually a coil fell round the
stays antlers.
With another, which had no antlers,
capture was more difficult. After two
had been taken prisoners, the deer be-
gan TO practice sly tactics. They
watched for the rise Of the cowboys
arm, and jumped high in the air while
the lasso fell harmlesSly below them.
IT took two hours 10 capture the first
five.
