sizes, who Immediately removed the bears
muzzles and allowed them to tear the man
TO pieces.
When the body was devoured the brutes
were muzzled anew and the gypsies made
them do a dance. Then the party took to
the road again. and the woodcutter slid
from the tree and ran to the nearest vii
lage, where he gave the alarm. A detach-
ment of horse gendarmes happening to be
stopping at the inn took up the pursuit and
caught the gypsies within an hour. While
the men were held one of the bears was
shot and portions of human flesh, bone and
hair were found in his stomach. The gen.
darmes then killed the other seven bears
and made the same horrifying discovery.
Thereupon several of the gypsies were
taken back over the route they had trav-
eled, and 1t was found that six children
were missing in as many Hungarian VII
lagos through which they had passed.
One of the gypsies was persuaded to turn
states evidence and confessed that the
children had been abducted to serve as food
to keep alive otherwise. 1t is feared that
such has been the practice of the gypsies
for a long period which would explain the
many cases of absolute disappearance of
children.

institution of dancing bears on the index
and kills all such animals found on Aus

RUsSIA'S RICHEST MAN DEAD.
NikoIai Terestchenko Leaves an Estate
of S1O0 600. 600.

A special to the New York World from
Moscow, dated March Z, says: The richest
man in Russia, Nikolai Terestchenko, hos
just died, in his eighty-fifth year, leaving
property valued at s100,O00,0OO, much of 1t
in real estate in this city.
For more than fifty years he had been
one of the curiosities of Moscow.
He slept only four hours in the twenty
four two hours at night and two hours
after luncheon.
At 2 o'clock every morning he had mass
said in his room.
At 6 O'Clock he began work with his sec
retaries, eating nothing until noon, when
he took an egg a bowl of soup. He had
only one solid meal day, and that was at
10 o'clock at night.
Though he was charitable, his benev-
olence was extended in unusual ways-as,
for instance, in establishing homes for one
legged and one-armed persons.
1t is said he wanted to found an asylum
for mothers-in-law who were badly treated
by sons-in-law, but that the police refused
to sanction the scheme.
His son, who inherited the vast fortune,
died at Monte Carlo of consumption the day
after his fathers death.

Capt. Coffin Starts With Detail From
Tromsoe, Norway.

The New York Herald of today says: Or
their way to Tromsoe, Norway, where the
Ziegler Arctic steamship America has been
tied up since the return of the Baldwin
Ziegler polar expedition year ago, Capt.
Edwin Coffin, with two officers and a crew
of twelve men, arrived here yesterday from
New Bedford and Boston. They will leave
on Tuesday on the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse for Bremen. From there they will

steamer.
Capt. Coffin said yesterday that this early
start was In order to "American,Ze the

wegian captain and crew. Now every man
on board will be an American citizen. and
there will be twenty-five of us in the navi-
cation department of the expedition. EX-
tensive changes will have to be made in
the ship, which, 1 believe, will be for the
best and along the lines of the Yankee way
of doing things. Mr.. Fiala, who is to head
the expedition, expects me to push the
America as far north as possible and, If
we are at all favored. / hope to skim along
through the ice lanes until we have gained

them, the pole-seeking expedition will be

IF Fiala brings back the pole to Mr..
Ziegler, the financial hacker of the expe-

American nation, for there will be no per-
son In the whole ships company who is not
an American citizen. We shall start with
lots of hope and try to do our best"

Capt. Coffin is an old whaleman, and in

that vessel was frozen in above Boring

Four Mastodons Found in Virginia.

A special dispatch to the New York
Herald from Richmond, Va, Sunday says
Workmen engaged in double tracking the
Norfolk and western railroad, between
Blue Ridge Springs, Va, and Mantvale
the next station east, unearthed yesterday
the fossilized skeletons of four mastodons
The mastodons were found in a space of
two hundred yards, in the direct line Of
the railroad work In one instance the
ivory tusks, more~t than three feet long
were in fairly good condition. but the
other tuSkS were too much decayed to
handle without breaking. The fossil out
lines of the large animals could be easily
traced. In some instances the tusks ap-
pear to have been much larger than those
obtained.
The teeth are particularly well preserved.
They are about seven inches long and five
inches across the top. The balls of the
hip joints are each about eight inches in
diameter. The sockets must have been at
least twelve inches across. They were
broken in the removal No care was eXer-
cised in digging them with pick and
crowbar.

The letter to Major Allison was written

of a coffin. The letter stated that the

BoILs EPIDEMIC IN BALTIMORE.
One in Every Three Persons Has .
Red Nose.

special dispatch to the Philadelphia
North American from Baltimore yesterday
says:
record-breaking epidemic has struck
Baltimore in the shape OF a boil-on-the-
| nose scourge
Health Commissioner Bosley, basing his
opinion on the number of cases among his
| own personal acquaintances, declares that
about one in every three persons is affiict-
ed with the nerve-racking. oath-producing
| ailment. If this estimate holds good there
are about 100000 boils doing business in
Baltimore.

into public view at the most unexpected

1t remains in seclusion for nearly two
weeks preferring confidential relations
with the afflicted. But If It is hidden from
the eye 1t is actively in evidence all the
time to the owner thereof.
The victim is first assailed with an un-
comfortable desire to scratch the end Of his
nose The itching sensation drives away

Finally a little pimple red and angry.
appears at the tip of the nose and the
itching is punctuated with sharp pains.
This is the time when the germ has grown
''chesty' and is consumed with a desire
to see something of the world
1t takes from two to four days before the
nose blossom" is perfect. Then 1t yields
to treatment and not until then.
A census of the city hall made this
morning reveals the following cases among
the higher officers:
Mayor Hayes, anticipatory. His honor
complains of a tingling sensation at the
end of his nose.
City Engineer Fendall is at home nurs-
ing a nose that grew to three times its
original size. He has been compelled to
lie in bed for nearly week.
City Councilman Guyton is able to be
about, but says he would rather have the
smallpox.
City Councilman REGISTER declares that
he has done nothing for three days except
to reach for his nose. He says the blind
boil feels though a red hot needle was
showed into the flesh.
Deputy Controller Freeman has been i'll

and says he hopes he will never again
have to bear what he has for the last ten
