Exhibition Of Real crlt

The Rev. Prebendary Webb Peploe
Of England was a famous athlete at
Cambridge university in his day. The
following remarkable tale is told of
him: "A fall of fifteen feet from
ladder had SO severely injured him
that his life was despaired of. How
over, by dint of medical skill and care
full nursing he recovered a fair
amount of health and strength. One
day, after having been confined to
bed for six months, he was told that
the university sports were fixed for
the morrow and that his college, be-
ing somewhat undermined, stood
greatly in need of assistance. He at
once pluchly jumped out of bed, en-
tered his name and succeeded in car
rying off the prize. After which," the
story ends, "he went back to bed and
remained on his back for the next
twelve months"

The New York World prints an in
terview with Baron speck Won Stern

among other remarks of the German
diplomat
1T has been said that the German
emperor has Interior designs and mo-
tives in Venezuela. That is absolute
ly false. The emperor admires and
understands the Monroe doctrine as
well as anybody.
THE report that the emperor has
Interior designs Is false for two rea-
sons: First-His admiration for Pres
ident Roosevelt and America ard
things American. Second-He fully
approves the Monroe doctrine and
would not think of trying to obtain
even coaling station there.
"The German emperor would no
more think Of violating the Monroe
doctrine in that respect than he would
think Of colonizing the moon.
1.-THE Monroe doctrine IL a peace

peace the United States ever had
Foreign powers recognize that the
point beyond which they must not go
is the taking of territory in South

only result in disaster to her.

Nine miners were buried in a snow

down into the valley below, and 4 It's

AS soon as the accident happened
the alarm spread rapidly, and in less
than half an hour after the occurrence
there were more rescuers at work at
the Quincy than were needed. All
work In the locality was suspended
and the work of recuing the unfortu-

not thought that there are any more
persons covered by the slide. It is
feared, however, that more slides will
take place soon. and excitment in the
city is great.

With his flesh cut and bruised by
the beatings he had received at the
hands Of his Nicaraguan jailors, Geo.
Williams, an American miner at Co.
rinto, sought refuge on board the
Pacific Mail steamship City of Pan
anna, which has arrived in San Fran

Union, Salvador. Villains had been
prisoner in the hands of the Near
aguans for three months, and was re-
leased at the instance ON the United
States consul general at Managua, the
capital of Nicaragua.
His arrest, he declared. was a pre-
text to enable the Nicaraguan govern
ment to reclaim a valuable gold mine
he discovered near San Fernando, and
to which he secured title before the
Nicaraguans were aware of the value
of the property. Williams, when he
left the city OF Panama, declared that
within week he would be on his
way to Guatemala City to lay his case
before United States Minister Hunter
or his representatives. He said he
would push the matter and demand
heavy indemnity from the Nicaragua
