Fatal Church Row.

As a result of a row started at
a negro church near Texarkana,
three young negroes, Flip Hardy,
aged 10, VIII Hopkins, aged Is,
and VIII Moore, aged Is, are dead,
while Mat Thol, Lynchy Wright
and Ed Rodney are in Jail charged
with their murder. The trouble
took place on the Texas side. A
number Of Arkansas negroes, known
as "the Arkansas gang" attended
the gathering and their presence
aroused the jealousy of another
band known as 1.-The Texas gang"
Hot words followed and the Texas
negroes finally drove the Arkansas
gang from the grounds and were
following them on their retreat to
Arkansas when the shooting took
place The first negro kelled be-
Ionged to the Arkansas gang, the
other two being Texas negroes, and
receiving their death wounds i'm
mediately after the first man fell.

Counterteiter Captured

J. c. Adams, a coal miner OF Bo-
nanza, his wife and son, were ar
rested last week on the charge of
making counterfeit five, ten and
twenty dollar gold pieces. Officers
found in the Adams barn outfits
for making coins Of the above de
nominations, and a can containing
$500 in counterfeit money. The
coins are manufactured of lead,
with heavy gold plating, and are
calculated to deceive almost anyone
during the ordinary course of bust
ness. The officers took the coin and
succeeded in passing a number in
saloons and stores, in order to test
their value as eirculators. When
they informed those who had ac-
cepted them that they were counter
felt a close examination Of them had
to be made before the declaration
would be accepted as true. The son
was arrested while engaged in dis
tributing the money. The mother
was taken into custody at the home
and the father was found at work
digging coal.

A Hard Worker.

In his present position Lord
Curzon works II hours a day. He
starts in the early morning, works till
half past one-or lunch time-he
gives an hour and a half to the
numerous guests he has, then he
works again till dinner time; at half
past ten he leaves his dinner guests,
goes TO his study and remains there
till two o'clock in the morning. He
seldom spends more than an hour
and half in the open air each day.
And he works at this high pressure
wherever he may be-on board a
steamer, in railway or when resting
at one Of his temporary dwellings
during his tours. And yet those who
meet him as his guest can scarce real
ize that he is so terrible worker.

BRAvEsT HUNTERS IN WORLD
Rubber Cutters of Central America
Fight Iaeulrs with Machetes.

President Roosevelt, Selous, Corr
don Cumming and other world
famous hunters Of big game must
play second fiddle to the rubber
cutters ofthe Chiapas forests in Cen
tral America 1t is the daily business
and pleasure Of these men to fight
jaguars and cheetahs with no better
weapon than the long, heavy knife
called machete in Latin American
countries.
Wandering alone in the jungle in
search Of rubber trees, says the Chi3
cago Inter Ocean, the rubber eutt1f
lives for months among the fercest
of all American wild beasts until he
learns to treat them with scorn.
AT night he swings his hammock
between couple of trees, rolls
cigarette and lies down for a COM
Portable smoke before doing off.
Presently he hears he long, snarlfng
roar OF the jaguar, the sharp bark of
the alligator, or the catlike whine of
the cheetah.
"Caramba" he mutters. diseon-
tentedly. Il suppose Id better
make a fire"
Perhaps he is too lazy, and just
drops off to sleep. ready TO fight any
wild beast that dares to disturb his
dreams But if he is a cautious man.
he builds little hut Of branches and
lights a wood fire in the doorway.
Then he sings his hammock inside
the hut, places his machete by his
side, and, with the blazing, cracking
fire on one side and the sheltering
roof on the other, sleeps as TRANQUILITY
as though there were no jaguars or
alligators nearer than tie New York
200"
Seldom does rubbercutt return
to the civilized settlements without a
few skins Of jaguars, slain in deadly
combat with machete or club. He
often seeks out the wild beasts and
fights them for a dinner when he
runs short Of food.
LUZ Mendoza, famous hunter
and rubber cutter Of Spanish Hon
duras, was once attached BY chez
tab when asleep in his hammock. He
woke up Ia find the beast ON his chest,
digging us claws into his neck. Seiz-
ing it by the throat, he swung out
of the hammock into the wood fire
burning a few yards away. Over and
over they rolled among the blazing
sticks, until the cheetah. bowling
with pain, broke away and fled into
the jungle.
The ordinary manwould have been
satisfied with that victory. Not so
Mendoza. Covered with wounds and
burns as he was. he caught up his
machete and followed the trail of
that cheetah for two days until he
caught it and slew it after another
desperate battle.
No wonder the beasts Of the for
est have healthy respect for the
rubber cutters of Chiapasl Taught
by bitter experience, they seldom at
tack them now.
"Why don't you carry a gun?' one
of these men was asked.
I'll is too heavy, and what need 2, !.
was the reply. i would like to sec
the wild beast that could not kill
with my machete Why. have
known men TO fight jaguar with
their bare hands and strangle it.
There is no sport hunting withagun.
1t is child's work"

ON THE EDGE OF WAR
But Not Quite Over, Said To Be
the Situation Between Rus
STA and Japan.
BALANCE IS VERY DEL1cAET
Most Anything Would Disturb the
Equilibrium--Eussia AbrOgates
the Mans,hu-ia Treaty.

Berlin, Oct. 12.-Russia and japan
act as though either would fight IL
the other should hold immoveably to
the position taken up in the last ex-
change of communications-thi is the
actual situation as understood official
ly from reports received from the Ger
man embassy in St. Petersburg and
the German legation at Toxic. Yet
this mutual attitude with hostile
preparations by botn countries is still
regarded here as not excluding an hon.
orable arrangement. Neither govern
ment has gone SO far that 1t must
fight or be Inundated, but either cab
met by a single step can put the 9th
er In that position.
Would Only Involve Russia and Japan.
This delicate balance may, of course,
be violently disturbed any day, though
no ultimatum has yet been thrown on
either scale. 1t is believed here Off
cially that war. should it occur, would
be between Russia and Japan alone
and that neither England nor France
would be involved. Frederick the
Greats remark was quoted 10 the AS
ISOLATED Press correspondent as illus
trating the present posture of. affairs
Negotiation without weapons be-
hind you are like musical tone with
out instruments"
