There is at last in sight railway
that will carry passengers ITO miles
an hour regularly, and the credit for
making It practicable belongs to Great
Britain. There have been models of
bigh-velocity '..lway trains made in
different countries and mile or two
Of track have been constructed for ex-
perimental uses, but Mr.. F. b. Behr,
an English engineer, deserves the
credit of putting the thing into prac-
teal use.
The railway is to be built at once

ture is an ordinary fan, yet, while it
will do service as a fan, 1t Is princi-
pally intended to be used as mask.
1t Is fashioned so as to resemble
the face of an animal, but portion
of the edge is cut away in such a
manner that some feature Of the face
Is lacking, and in place OF this miss
ing portion of the animal the person
using the fan is supposed to substi'
tute the equivalent feature of his
own face. The fan is furnished with
handle. and may be made Of any
material on which an animals face
can be drawn or painted.
This device is likely to afford much
amusement, for there is naturally
something laughable about face
which is only partly human, and the
moro savage and ugly the animals
face Is the more grotesque will II
appear when one of its features IL
replaced by an equivalent feature
from human countenance.-New

KILLS HIMSELF
TO ESCAPE ARREST
Death of Charles Mclean Ex-
pIained-Two Girls Tell
a Sad Story.

1t is now belived that Charles Mclean,
the man who died as the result of falling
from second story window of the Min
nesota house, First avenue south and
First street, about two weeks ago, jump
ed from the window with the intention
Of committing suicide.
1t is known that his name was con-
nected with that of two girls, Mary and
Susie Schmidt, aged twelve and fourteen
years respectively, who were in probate
court yesterday and who told their story
to Judge Harvey.
Mary and Susie Schmidt were Yesterday
ordered to the state public school at
Owatonna after a hearing before Judge
Harvey, of the probate court, which
brought out evidence of a startling char
acter
The proceedings instituted by the coun-
ty to have the children taken to the state
school were resisted by the mother, Eliz-
abeth Schmidt, who said that she was
able to take care of her daughters, and
did not wish to have them sent away.
Girls Were Left Alone.
Ihe evidence brought out before the
court showed that the mother left her
tIa nome e,,,d dors several days at a time and
for themselves. The story told by the
neighbors was subsequently confirmed by
eAS HldS girls, VINO ADMITTED the facts
to Judge Harvey and a priest.
Judge Harvey at once said that imme-
date steps would have to be taken for
me care OF The girls, but was somewhat
perplexed as to the proper place to which
to commit them. If they were vicious the
state school was not the proper place and
yet 1t appeared that their life had been
such that an element of viciousness had

are not naturally vicious and that u6der
proper surroundings they will reform. The
priest explained that they had repord
OF good department at school.
Judge Harvey finally decided that the
state school would be the best place for
girls.
1t Is expected that number of in
dictments will be found against per
sons implicated in the case. The coun-
ty attorney will have the matter brought
to the attention of the grand jury for
investigation, and prosecutions will fol-

R[PUD|ATF DECISION
OF ARBITRATORS
Tribunal Finds Against vene.
zuelans, Who Roar
Loudly.

WILLEMSTAD, Curacao, Sept. Ii
The decisions In the cases of the big
claims against Venezuela presented to
the mixed tribunals began to be rem
dered yesterday. The Dutch and Bull
garian arbitrators and the Venezuelan
umpire delivered judgment condemn
Ing Venezuela to pay the Belgian COM
pany owning the Caracas water works
$2,000,000. Notwithstanding the fact
that the meeting of the tribunal was
to be secret, the Venezuelan govern
ment fmediately divulged it's decision
everywhere and also started the semi
official press complaining against DR..
FflZ, the Dutch arbitrator, who is a
former president of the high court of
the Dutch West Indies, and the other
arbitrators, who are characterized as
robbers worthy of hanging. The vio-
lence of the press is without prece-
dent, going SO far as to say the gov
ernment will not accept the judgment.
The newspaper Pregonero says:
1--WE are Venezuelans. We will not
accept these impositions. The deci-
sions of the arbitrators' are a joke Do
these humiliations last? Down with
ezuela is country of sayages, in
which they can slash right and left
1t is necessary that they should know
that they havea people before them,
and Gen. Castro, head of the executive
power, will not accept such treatment.
Know this, umpires and commission
ers, and the sooner you know it the
better it will be for you. You believe
we are lambs, not having seen our
claws. We are tigers and lions. There
fore, bewarei"
Ell Combate says: How long will
these humiliations last? Down with
the foreign extortioners and let us
hold up high and firm our national
dignity and integrity. Long live Vene-
zuela!"

cuses the United States of hypocriti-
cal diplomacy.

IN The QUICKSAND
Man Is Prey of Muskrats and
Mosquitoes All Night.

NEW YORK, Sept. ia man
whose name is believed to be John
McGraw lost his way last night in Ho-
boken and wandered off to the north
Of the town, where the meadows be-
come swampy and run into quagmires
and quicksands.
A policeman found the man today
sunk to the armpits, raving through
swollen lips, on which hordes of mos
quitoes had feasted for long hours,
blinking at the weak sun through Sits
Of puffy flesh, and tearing at himself
wherever his bloody fingers could find
a hold.
When the policeman pulled the sink
ing man on solid ground he saw that
the trousers legs were torn and eaten
away and the limbs were cut and torn
by the muskrats in the swamp.
What is left of the man is at ST.
Mary's hospital, Hoboken, On the reg
lister he is recorded John McGraw,
insane, brought from Hoboken
swamp
The patient waves his arms before
him, as if to fight off something that
would not let him alone. He kicks
as a swimmer treads water. He thinks
he is still in the swamp.

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.7-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review ofatrade tomorrow
will say: Despite the interruption of
holiday, the week has brought in
creased activity in many branches of
business. An encouraging symptom is
the decreased complaint regarding col
leetions, accompanied by more dis
counting of bills Weather conditions
have been favorable for the retail trade,
distribution of merchandise expanding,
while there are frequent reports of
larger jobbing fall business than last
year. Some caution in selecting goods,
owing to high prices, is reported at the
West, but this is chiefly confined to
textiles. Labor disputes decrease, all
but one of the unions having signed
the agreement in the local building
trades, and several other settlements
have been effected through concessions
by both sides. Railway earnings in
August were 81 per cent larger than
last year and 15.4 per cent greater than
1901. Owing to the lateness of the
crops there is little complaint of traffic
congestion.
On Sept. for the first time this year
furnace stocks of pig iron exceeded a
weeks capacity of the furnaces in blast
This is statistical evidence of the quiet
conditions in the iron and steel indus

about $4,000 tons less than at that date.
These figures explain tha reduction in
prices.

again declined, weakening the tone and

New England manufacturers con-
tlnue busy on fall and winter footwear
and at many points 1t is difficult to Sc
cure sufficient labort Wholesalers re-
port deliveries of nearly all varieties on

are taxed in order to keep up with
business. Leather is still quiet in this
vicinity, buyers taking only as needed,
