REBEL LEADERS TO SUBMIT.
Netherlands for Years Reported
About to Give Up.

New York, Aug. 25.-Private news
from Achin, says the Brussels CORE,
spondent of the Times, cabling by way OF
London. is to the effect that Panglima
Pollen and Rajah Keumala, who have
been for many years two chief rebel
leaders, will formally submit to the
Dutch in the course of the next few
days.
The colonial troops of the Netherlands
have been at war with the Achins al
most continuously since the year 1873.
The cause Of the war was the refusal
Of the sultan to recognize the suzerainty
of the Netherlands, over which long
negotiations took place. The sultan sent
secret embassy to the United States
diplomatic agent at Singapore to ap-
peal for the military aid Of this coun-
try, and at the same time he dispatched
commissioners to treat with the Dutch
government
Encouraged by the hope of aid from
Great Britain and the United States, the
sultan rejected the terms offered by the
Netherlands. The war thus begun has
cost the Dutch over 100000, 900 and
the lives of several thousand soldiers.
One expedition after. another has been
sent to Sumatra, but as soon as the re-
volt has been apparently crushed it has
broken out again. The Dutch have tried
by every means to end the war, which
has crippled the finances of the Dutch
Indies,

NEW USE FOR INJUNCTION.
A Dakota Man Wants q Rival Re-
strained from Making Love
to His Wife.

A case with peculiar and sensational
features has been instituted in the South
Dakota circuit court in Sioux Falls by
Mahlon ,Bapp, a prominent farmer re-
siding in the northern portion of the
county.
The defendant is William Shepherd, at
present resident of Trinidad, Col. Bapp
asks that the court grant him an in
junction restraining Shepherd from
alternating the affections of Mrs. Bapp.
Mrs. Bapp was formerly the wife OF
Shepherd, but secured a divorce and
married again, and now Bapp thinks the
former husband would like to get her

CHEERS YOU FOR PAY
Young Woman of New York CITY
Adopts Novel Avocation.
Calls 1t Mental Attitude-Lived I'm
California and Reflects the
Climate in Her

A new avOcatiOn for women has
been started in New York city by Miss
w. V. Townsend. who registers at the
Woman's exchange as Sunshine
companion" Her duties consist of
scattering just as much sunshine and
cheerfulness as her subjects particu-
lar temperament will take in.
Miss Townsend was born in Cali
fornia. She insists the climatic inf1u-
ences are responsible for her choice
OF happiness-making as profession.
Mental attitude" she says, "makes
everything. Fortunately for me, alb
sorbed from our radiant California
climate nothing but sunshine and opti-
mism"
According to this cheerful young
woman every on has an atmosphere,
SO it is with the individual to create
his own effect upon others.
Every time I go to see friend"
says Miss Townsend, II ask myself
what sort Of face I am taking with
me, and I never allow myself to think
any but the brightest things when
am called out as sunshine compan-
ion. My idea in taking up this work
was inspired by the thought that many
lonely people who drift to New York.
many of them women especially, are
left in hotels all day while their hus-
bands or brothers are out on business.
Nearly all of them would shop or 20
sightseeing or get out of the house and
thereby get their minds off their lone
illness If only a companion could be
obtained"
Such companion is this 'cheering
up woman" At a moments notice
she will be at a house with her stock
of sunshine and a fund of anecdotes.
and she will read, play cards, or enter
tain in some way. BY the time she
leaves one will be almost as cheerful
as this radiant being herself, she
asserts.
I'm New York." Miss Townsend
aft1rms, there is more loneliness than
IN any other city on the globe. We
never really have a chance to find out
what a nice person our next door
neighbor is unless chance or accident
throws us together"
Miss Townsend declares that she
has already had great success in her
work. While the greater number of
her customers come from the
visitors to the city, she is already get
ting many from the residents,

GERONIMO JOINS A CHURCH.
One OF the Most Bloodthirsty Indians,
of Former Days Baptized with
Others of His TRIBE.

Perhaps one Of the most impressive
Christian ceremonies ever witnessed
west of the Mississippi-a reminder
of the earlier days when the missions
aries labored among the Indians-wa0
the conversion and baptizing OF tho
aged Geronimo and dozen Of hfa
Apache warriors one Sunday recently
before large crowd of Indians and
whites. The ceremony was performed
by Methodist minister at Guthrie
Okla.
With the Comanches sitting on one
side of the tabernacle and the Apacheas
on the other, each tribe, with it's In
terpreter standing in the foreground
repeating the words of the whftoe
preacher, the minister told the story
of Christ, Of how the Indian COULD
have full and free salvation and pasa
through death to the real happy
hunting grounds" At the close of tho
sermon the minister opened tho
doors of the church" and Geronimo
and IL of his warriors, prisoners OF
war at Fort Sill, went forward and,
through their Interpreter, told of their
love for the white mans Christ and
asked to be received into His church
in order that henceforward they might
travel the "Jesus road"
In the afternoon the baptismal cere-
mOny occurred. The minister sprfn-
killed. the clear water over the aged
chiefs head, repeating the words1

Lawton, are still retained as prisoners
of war at Fort SILL Geronimo was con-
sidered the most bloodthirsty Indian Of
his time

SUSPECTED OF The CRIME
Police Believe They Know Who
Committed Mysterious Murder.
Circulars Asking for Arrest OF
Charles Price Issued by De-
troit Omcials.

Detroit, Mich, Aug 25.---After six
days work en- the mysterious murder
of little Alphonse Wines, whose mutt
lated body was found last Tuesday morn
ing among some molding TASKS at the
rear of the Michigan Stove oompany's
works, the police Monday issued cir
cular, which they are sending broadcast,
asking for the arrest of Charles Price,
alias Emil Waltz, on suspicion of being
the murderer. The circular declares:
I'VE have every reason to believe that
Price committed the murder" Price is
molder by trade, and the police say
he may be found working at street paw
Ing or heavy laboring. He has served
time in the penitentiaries at Columbus,
o., and Jackson, Mich. Price has often
been arrested and was once charged with
manslaughter. The officers say that
they believe they have almost enough
evidence already to convict him Of the
child murder. Price was seen on Wight
street, near Adair street, where the body
was found, on the day Of the murder,
and he was also seen on the morning
OF the day that Alphonse Wines was
taken from his home, within one block
of the Wines home, at PA St. Aubin
avenue. The Wines home and the
place where the body was found are a
long distance apart
The police also say they have per-
son to whom Price recently made prop
osition to get child and cut the child
open to see what was inside
They also claim to have other evidence
which they will not divulge at present.

MOST u CURIOUS FACT u :. /
Greatest Heat of Radium Discovered
in 1ntensest Cold.
Exactly Opposite to Effect That Low
Temperatures Generally Exert
ON Chemical Action-Experi.
ments Of Prof. Curie.

Another discovery of the extraordi-
navy property of radium has been COM
to the French Physical soci-
ETY. by Prof Curie. It was only in
March last that eminent men of science
refused to accept the statement so ir-
reconcilable to scientific experience as
the astonishing fact that radium DOS
sesses the property of maintaining
temperature at point three degrees
higher than that of it's surroundings.
But the fact that, in addition to the
marvellous radioactive physiological
properties, radium has this unique and
unprecedented power Of the emission of
heat. has been established beyond the
possibility of question.
Strenuous efforts have been made to
obtain accurate measurements of this
heat producing and determine the ef-
fects OF external conditions in promot-
ing and retarding it.
Prof. Curie has found that heat ennis
sion remains unchanged through a very
wide range Of temperature, there being
no perceptible variation at the temper
allure of summer day, or that of liquid
air, but if long downward stride is
taken from the temperature of liquid
air to that OF liquid hydrogen, radium
shows that it is not always unaffected
by the external temperature.
And here comes the amazing new
fact that the change in the rate of heat
emission of radium within the COMPARE
lively short distance of absolute
zero is in exactly the opposite direction
to what might be expected in view of
the effect Of low temperatures on or
binary chemical action; for at the tenn
perature Of liquid hydrogen the heat
emission Of radium, instead of being re-
duced, is augmented. In simple Ian
guage, the substance which does not
change It's heat at all temperatures
from that Of an ordinary room to that of
liquid air gives out greater heat when
subjected to the greatest cold that sci
ent1sts have yet reached.
These experiments with liquid hy-
drogen have led to the curious discovery
that freshly prepared salt, or a solution
OF sodium, has the comparatively feeble
power of giving on heat at all temper
aturos, but the power steadily increases
for about month when it reaches the
maximum activity, which it then main
tains apparently indefinitely.
These remarkable results have failed
to throw any light Upon the process
whereby radium maintains a constant
emission Of heat radioactivity.
