Honeymoon a.sA ~-~.

The jailkeeper at Fort Scott was, E. tonished the other night when good- looking young couple asked for per- mission to stay in one of the cells till morning. It was explained that they had just been married over in Missouri and were going into southern Kansas, where the man had work. They ran out of money and had no place to sleep. The Monitor says the bride was good looking and cheerful and seemed to re- gard the matter as something of a joke. But think of honeymoon commenced in iail

LAND WIRELESS NEWSPAPER,
First Publication of the Kind in tn 6 History of Journalism, on the
 Pacific Coast.

The only daily newspaper in tkS world publishing "sure-enough" dis patches transmitted by wireless tele- graph had it's birth on March 25 at Avalon, Santa Catalina island. The event is important in the history of journalism and marks the beginning of an epoch in the dissemination of news in isolated places, says the Sci- ent1fic American. The name of the infant journal Is the Wireless, ap- propriately so called on account of the method by which it receives the news of the busy world. The unique sheet begins it's career in the shape of a three-column folio, the exact size of the pages being Il by 8 inches. In this convenient form is crowded, in addition to the local news of Avalon, an epitome of the local and general news appearing simultaneously in the Los Angeles Times, thus giving the residents of the island and visitors to its lovely shores a comprehensive synopsis of all the principal news of the world hours before the arrival of the steamer from the mainland with the Los Angeles morning paper.

Engraving Glass with Ge1atine.

A singular property of gelatine, when spread upon glass, has lately been experimented with by the French chemist, Cailletet. When a thick layer of strong glue, that has been allowed to dry upon glass surface, is de- tached, it carries off scales of glass and leaves designs resembling those of frost on g. window-pane. Polished marble and quartz are similarly at- tackled. With glue containing six per cent. of alum M. Cailletet produced five designs, resembling moss in tex ture. Hyposulphite of soda and nitrate and chlorate of potash, added to the glue, produce analogous effects. The glue while drying exerts powerful mechanical train.-Youth's Com- Danion.

HANDS OFF, IS RUssIA's CRY.
Will Politely Decline to Receive Petition
Transmitted by Roosevelt


Washington, June 26.-The Russian gov.
ernmenl has learned with profound regret
of the intention of the Washington au-
thorities TO forward to st. Petersburg a
petition from American Jews relative to
Russia's treatment of her Jewish subjects
1t is yet hoped that the United States
will appreciate the Russian view of tne
case and will content itself with the
kindly expressions of sympathy, which it
already has offered for the affair at
Kishineff.
The Associated Press already has stated
the Russian position regarding what is
considered outside interference in the i'll
ternal affairs of Russia. That position is
unchanged The Associated Press is furth-
er permitted to say that Mr.. Riddle. the
American Charge, when he presents the
petition at the Russian Foreign Office,
will be received with the same cordiality
always accorded an American envoy In
returning the petition to Mr.. Riddle the
officials will assure him that Russia
cherishes no i'll will toward the United
States. and that the action it takes with
respect to the petition is necessary in
view of Russia's unalterable policy of re-
framing from interference in the internal
affairs of other powers and insisting on
similar treatment for itself The Russian
government hopes its firmness in the mat
ter will not be misunderstood, but in view
of the announcement of its position weeks
ago is surprised at the developments which
will force a reiteration of its views

tunity of learning all the facts and had
arranged his tale accordingly
He continued: II too, want you, gen
tlemen of the jury, to render a verdict
which your children will respect | want
you to render verdict on the facts
not upon the unsupported testimony of a
man like Bill Barnes, a traitor. Rem
der your verdict according to the facts
and not in answer to clamor, and when
you go to the quiet of your homes you
will have nothing to regret in the years
that are to come. A respectable citizen
of Wilson county has never been con-
victed on the unsupported testimony of
confessed assassin / trust you and
these men from whom / bring the last
message. l know the manhood Of Wilson
county jurors and / have no fear for your
verdict. And if you convict these men on
unsupported evidence then you are the
guilty persons.
The remainder of Mr.. Woodlands speech
consisted in taking up a point here and
there in the evidence and explaining its
weakness and improbability in the chain
of circumstances which the State claimed
to have forged. He went into the evil
dence against Rich at length and ex-
planned in a forcible manner rs i'm
probability, showing how unlike muir
der his actions were on the night of the
killing. He also took up Whitley's con
nection with the conspiracy, explaining
that not even in the confession of Barnes
was Whitley implicated the only evi-
dence against him being his threats while
in drunken condition. He concluded
with a strong appeal to the jury, after
having spoken for four hours. There re-
mains but one speech to be made, that
of Mr.. F. S. Spruill.
In the examination of Mr.. w c. Mayo
by H. G. Connor. Jr., as reported this
sentence occurs: Witness said the bullet
taken from Rich's room was of a class OF
bullets not usually sold
This was an error as the witness did not
use the word mot" in such connection.

Chamberlain on Commercial Union
(By the Associated Press.)


London. June 26.-The constitutional
Club today entertained Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain at luncheon and presented
him with an address enclosed in a casket,
in recognition of his services to the ma
ton.
Mr.. Chamberlain received remarkable
ovation when he rose to speak. His hosts
sang, For He's a jolly Good Fellow, "
and then cheered Mrs. Chamberlain who
was among the spectators The Colonial
Secretary opened his remarks with re
pudiating the suggestions of personal
competition between himself apd Mr.. Bal
four. He desired on the eveIof great
controversy to publicly state THAT he be-
lieved the leadership of Mr.. Balfour was
essential to the success of the Unlonist
party II the Unionist alliance was DIS
solved or weakened the "home rule snake,
which was only scotched and not killed. "
would come again to the front.
Turning to the problem occupying the
center of the political field, Mr.. Chamber
lain declared that the commercial union
of the colonies would be far more profit
able than their political union.
In the inquiry about to occur, he con-
tinued all questions should be argued on
their merits. policy of retaliation could
be better described as policy of nego-
tiation The ministers would endeavor to
break down the existing wall of hostile
tariffs, and if they failed in these negotia-
tions they would endeavor to retain for
their own country the vast possibilities
for production and opportunity for EN-.
ployment, the lack of which was now
driving British subjects to foreign lands.
Great Britain wanted something to
bargain with.

OF a mile east of Marion at 10 o'clock

ton, were instantly killed and Express
Messengers 0tey and Wood, of Bristol,
seriously, and Mail Clerks Adams and Jen-

fore the largs trucks were deraied and
the engine, with the tender, mail car,
express car and baggage car went over
an embankment. Engineer and fireman
were caught under the engine. None Of
the passenger coaches left the rails and
