A Political Genius.

Gen. Nord's unanimous election to
the presidency of Hayti by the Hay
tian congress constitutes a high and
well-deserved tribute to his popular
ity. The circumstance that the gem
eral had the chamber surrounded by
brigade of infantry and three bat
teries of artillery while the ballot
ing was going on merely shows his
anxiety to protect the legislators
from annoyance during their delib-
erations.

A PROBLEM for Librarinns.

George Brandes, the Danish critic,
is appalled, at the worlds literary del
age. He finds that about 10000 nov
els appear every year. Germany pub
fishes 2,0Oo.s England $500, Russia
1000, America rather more, France
600, Italy and Spain about 500 each,
Japan $50, India 200, Egypt dozen,
etc. In 20 years the United States
and most European countries have
doubled their output of books. and
Mr.. Brandes says that no library is
large enough to contain all the books
that appear in ten years.

Reports from Lima, Peru, say that
a storm that struck that Andean
city recently spread a foot of snow
on the streets and dropped the mer-
curry to three degrees below zero. A
few meteorological effects of this
kind, notes the Indianapolis News,
would work radical change in the
governmental aspects of South Amer
lea. If the people down there would
eat more snowballs and less red pep
per they wouldn't be so keen for
the revolutionary game.

a Nation of readers.

Whether the people of the United
States read too much or too little
they do read and there are statistics
to show it. Leaving out of account the
enormous circulation of the newspa-
pers and magazines. the book con-
sumption alone is sufficient to stamp
the nation as yoracious one in e
literary way. Four hundred thousand
copies of one popular novel has been
sold, 350,eG0 of another, book for
children has passed the 100000 mark
and several novels have reached q cir
cuiation near or beyond 100000

RUSSIA GIVES NOTICE
WILL NOT RECEIVE Represent
TATioNs REGARDING kisHtN-
EFF INCIDENT.

Washington, June 11.-Numerous
offers have reached the Russian gov
eminent from American sources to
aid the families of sufferers in the re-
cent Kishineff incident. All such Of
fers have been declined for the reason
that Russia is entirely capable OF ex-
tending relief and under the circum-
stances cannot accept outside aid.
The Russian position in the matter
Is stated to be as follows:
Russia has not been unappreciative
OF the generous offers which have
come to her from America since the
affair at kishineff, nor the humane
motive which may have prompted
these offers. In view of the fact that
his majesty, the emperor, has the
means at hand to relieve suffering
wherever 1t appears in his empire,
outside aid is unnecessary and all Of
fers Of such must be declined.
Nor will 1t be possible for Russia
to receive any representations regard
Ing the Kishinen incident from a for
eign power. The Russian government
takes the same position as that
long held by the American govern
ment, namely, that 1t refrains from in
reference in the internal affairs of
another power and must insist on
similar treatment for itself. Should
any foreign power take steps to re-
strict immigration Of Russian Jews on
the ground that they are undesirable
Russia will not protest."

Eight other persons, besides the

have died in the past fifteen years un-
der circumstances that in view Of
the Woman's confession, are now
thought to be suspicious. All OF the
eight were either relatives are init
mate friends who died while living
with Mrs. Mcknight, or while she was
at their house. All are said to have
shown symptoms that are now be-
lieved to indicate strychnine poison
ing. They were:
Ernest Mcknight, the woman's lat
est husband; James Ambrose, her
first husband, who died at Alpena in
1887; Mrs. Mcknight, the wife Of
James r. Mcknight, who was a part
ner OF Ambrose; Baby Teeple, Mrs.
Meningitis niece; Eliza Chalker, an
other niece, who died at Grayling in
May, 1892; Sarah Murphy, Mrs. Nc

ling in February, 1898; Mrs. Curry,
who died in Saginaw in 1893 while
Mrs. Mcknight was at her mothers
house: and Dorothy Jensen, a child
who died in Crawling while under
Mrs. Meningitis care during the alb
sence of her mother.
Mrs. Mcknight raised the figures on
a mortgage she held on the Murphy
home, and this led to her arrest.
Mrs. Mcknight seemed perfectly
sane, although under great mental
strain. No motive for the crimes can
