MOTIVE FOR CRIME
Man Assaulted Last Night Hada
 Trouble With Relatives.
MAN WAS GREATLY ALARMED,

So Much So That He Consulted an At-s
 torney-It Is Said That He Was
 Threatened With a Sentence to Si<
 beria-Police Think It Another Is-
 raelovftch Case. e
 The theory of the police in regard to the Thomaston road assault case is that it is second Israelovitch case. Still, they leave room for considerable doubt. Some time ago the injured man head dealings with his brother. in-law, Louis SpeiZman, who runs al bakery on Baldwin street. Opaluski, as he is now called, claimed he waSa unfairly dealt with and he threatened law proceedings against the Speiz-4 mans Mrs Speizman thereupons threatened him with all manner of things, among them was a complaint to the Russian consul in Washingtona which would not fail to result in his4 extradition and sentence to Siberia.
 This appeared to- alarm him and h6s consulted lawyer. The result was a defiance to the Speizmans. Mrs Speizman then went to Prosecutor Du- rant and asked that warrant be is-s sued against Opaluski. MT Durants saw nothing in the complaint to war-s rant him issuing a warrant againsts the man, whereupon the woman al-4 most pleaded to him. This anoused the prosecutors suspicious and he Hat-4 ly refused to issue the warrant. Opa- luski received intimations that if hes insisted in bringing suit he would get into trouble. Still he did bring suit! in a few days. The amount involved is S36. The police have a theory that this suit has something to do with thea assault Still, the descriptions theI assailants would not fn5pEcate anyoned known to Opaluski, so far.

Paraso1s That Are Toilet Bottles.

The newest parasol and umbrella has more than one mission to fulfil. Those of latest importation have rich ly and exquisitely carved art nouveau handles of whitest ivory. They are Aong and heavy and screw on to the wooden shaft that supports their silken mounting. These handles are hollow and contain a tiny sfx-inch vial to be filled with cologne or toilet water. By pressing an ornament in ,he carving of the handle, the top of the vial opens and sends out spray of it's fragrant contents to moisten & handkerchief or dampen the temples of a fatigued or fainting lady. Some times the handle of the parasol is filled with delicious Russian salts instead of cologne.

Man Found Suffering for Want of
 Food-Died Later.
 Leroy, N. Y., July 1O.-Rescued from starvation and exposure, a graduate or Harvard college is dead in the aims house at Bethany. He was James C Hall, and during forty years he bore the name of Alexander Hermit.
 No one ever knew what drove him from society, but, during two score years he lived entirely alone on his farm of 16O acres, near Alexander. The place ran to weeds and brambles; barns and sheds rotted away; every room in the house but the kitchen was closed, mouldered and dampened into decay.
 In one of the rooms was found a ll- brary of 300 or 400 volumes of philo- sophical works, many of great value
 Early in March a rural mail carrier not having seen any signs of Hall about the house for several days, en- tered and found him, who was 75 years old, propped up in a chair. He was greatly emaciated and said he had eaten nothing in several days The authorities removed him to the allnshouse against his vigorous pro test and succeeded in saving his life for a time Hall died without re vealing the secret of his strange life.

Finding 8 Real Treasure Chest.

A real treasure chest was discovered few weeks ago in Frankfort, Ger many, in the most unexpected of places-no less a place than the city poorhouse. For many years a huge iron chest had been stored in one of the attic rooms. The key to it was missing, and so it happened that mo- body ever bothered to try to get at 1t until recently, when general house. cleaning caused the officials to have it broken open. It was like breaking open a pirates hoard. When the lid was lifted, magnificent silver cups and ornaments were revealed. Experts soon found that they dated back as far as 1850 and that they were the work of famous silyersmiths of the seventeenth century Chicago Inter Ocean

German Bark, With Captain and
 Eleven Men, Lost.
 Victoria, B. C., July 1O.-The- steam CT MioWera brings details of many shipping disasters which occurred of the Australian coast and in South Sea as a result of tremendous gales in June. Brief facts have been cabled of the loss of the German bark Edith, with Captain Ertell and eleven men, en route from Puget sound to Port Pirie with lumber, and of the dismasting of the German bar kC. H. Watjen. Both vessels were long overdue.
 The Edith struck reef off New Cal edonia and her crew left in two boats, one with Captain Ertell and eleven men and the other with the mate and eight men. The captains boat was not seen after they left the vessel. It was provisioned for fourteen days.
 The other boat was at sea eight days and the shipwrecked men suffered great privations. On the eighth day they sighted the Watjen, from New York to Yokohama.
 The vessel had been caught in a furi- ous cyclone which rendered her almost a complete wreck. x Twenty thousand cases of kerosene had been jettisoned in order to relieve her. For seventy six days the Watjen partly drifted and partly sailed with the assistance of jury masts, finally reaching Yale Island, off the coast of New Guinea, whence the Edith's crew was taken to Australia, while the Watjen's people remained with their vessel, hoping to get her to Australia for repairs. The Edith broke in halves after striking the reef.
 The Norwegian bark Lotus ran on a reef ill the Fiji group and was a total loss. The crew was saved.
 The steam collier Illaroot was wrecked on the Australians coast after losing her propeller. The crew was saved.
 The French bark Admiral Cecilia, which was damaged on a reef off New Caledonia and was cast adrift by the steamer St Louis. which ran short Of fuel after towing her a thousand miles. was found in a disabled condition hfty miles off Sydney and lowed to the port. Many otehr vessels were damaged in the storm.
 The American barkAbbey Palmer was long overdue from Sydney for Newcas- tie and it was feared she had been lost, but she was sighted all well after the gales

 In the department of secondary sci epce, President G. Stanley Hall od Clark university spoke on 'Co-educa tion in the High School
 The Teaching of Art'' and Considerations for a Practica Study of Drawing in Public Schools" were the subjects brought III in the art department. ".
 The business education department held round table conference on 4 Commercial Course for American High ochools, and the physical training de partment gave up the time to subjects of exclusive interest to that branch
 chemistry and Physics were the topics in the science instruction depart: ment, and the library department de voted its time to papers on the rela- tions between libraries and schools Charles B. Gilbert of New York spoke on 1.-The Public Library and the Public School" He said: -s..
 Tn order that the library be useful through life it is necessary that chil. dren be made acquainted with it and that they be given the library habit.
 They should get an acquaintance with an abundance of good books They should get sufficient love for such books to prompt them to make an ef- fort to secure them and discriminatine judgment. In my judgment in the earlier grades of schools many books should be supplied to the schools by the libraries. As the children advance in age and grade and become accus- toned to the use of books, they should be more and more sent to the library to supply their wants.
 The Indian department, the only one which has held sessions every day since the convention opened today closed the meetings with an industrial and miscellaneous round table.
 Among the speakers was Hamlin Garland of New York.
