sacrificed His Mother.

St. Petersburg, Sept. 9O.-The Rus
sian village of Orc, in the district of
Gapsalko, was recently the scene of an
extraordinary case of religious mania.
A peasant named Johann Pettsman be-
came convinced that the sins Of the
people demanded human sacrifice, and
accordingly offered himself None of
the neighbors were willing to act the part
of sacrifcial priest. Pettsman then
concluded that his mother, of whom he
was most fond, must be the victim.
He reasoned that his mothers name
was Eve and Eve brought sin into the
world. Besides, no womon's blood had
yet been shed for humanity's sin.
His neighbors, suspecting Pettsman, re-
moved his mother to another cottage,
but in the dead of the night, Pettsman
entered her room by breaking hole in
the ceiling. He stunned his mother
with club, then built pyre with the
furniture, and burned her thereon. The
neighbcr., aroused by the fire, rushed 10
the cottage, whore they found Pettsman
perfectly calm, and satisfied. He said
he did his duty.

A Remarkable Record.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, has a
remarkable record. 1t has been in use
for over thirty years, during which time
many million bottles have been sold and
used. 1t has long been the standard
and main reliance in the treatment Of
Group in thousands of homes, yet during
all this time no case has ever been re-
ported to the manufacturers in which it
failed 10 effect a cure. When given as
soon as the child becomes hoarse or
even as soon as the croupy cough APP
pears, it will prevent the attack. 1t is
pleasant to take, many children like it.
1t contains no opium or other harmful
substance and may be be given as con-
fidently to a baby as to an adult. For
sale by Richard Gibson, druggist.

Death of the British Ambassador.
London, Sept. SO.-Sir Michael II.
Herbert, British Ambassador at Wash
ington, died at Dayos Platz, Switzer-
land, this morning.
The Ambassador died at 1870 this
afternoon. Death was due to hasty con-
sumption.
The Ambassadors death was an
nounced at $3.50 this afternoon by Lord
Alverstone, during the meeting of the
Alaskan Boundary Commission, who paid
a most feeling tribute to the deceased
statesman. The sitting was adjourned
as mark of respect to the deceased
Sir Michael Herbert had been i'll for
some time, and recently left his post in
Washington to travel for his health.
His death, however, was unexpected.
He was suffering from an affection of
the lungs, and was stopping at Davos
Platz, which is a great Swiss resort for
consumptives. In the death of the Am
bassador England loses one of her
leading lights in diplomatic circles and
America one of her warmest friends.
The Ambassador has always been a warm
admirer of the United States and his
appointment as Ambassador at Washing
ton to succeed the late Lord Paunce-
fote, was received there with much
pleasure. Before his appointment as
Ambassador on June 4, 1902, Sir
Michael was well known in Washington
and New York. He served in 1888 and
1889 as Charge d Affaires of Great Brit
ain at Washington during the interval
between the recall of Lord Sackville-
West and the appointment of Lord
Pauncefote, and again in 1892 and 1898,
first as Secretary of Legation and later
as Secretary of Embassy under Lord
Pauncefote. 1t was during his latter
residence in the United States that
he was married there to Miss
Leila Wilson, daughter of Richard T.
Wilson, of New York, and a sister OF
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr. Sir
Michael was born on June %, 1857.

The Tillman Trial.

Lexington, S. c., Sept. 9O.-At the
opening of the third day of the Tillman
trial, it was evident from the nature OF
the testimony offered that the legal fight
of the day would be as to whether n. g.
Gonzales ante-mortem statement would
be admitted or not. James A. Hoyt,
assistant editor of the State, was put on
the stand and when about to give
the ante-mOrtem statement Of Gonzales,
the defendants attorneys objected, and a
long and exhaustive legal argument was
entered upon as to whether it should be
admitted. They raised the question as
to whether Gonzales had any hope of re-
covery after he was shot; if so, they con-
tended, his ante-mortem statement could
not be admitted as evidence. The law
yers argued the point at great length.
Judge Gary said that the declaration Of
the deceased made to associate editor
Hoyt was entitled to be admitted as
testimony.

MACEDONIAN UPRISING.

A telegram received at Sofia from the
camp Of General Zontchefi, the COM
mander-in-chief of the Macedonian in
surgents, at Razlog, 55 miles from Sofia,
announces that a general rising was pro-
claimed September p in the districts OF
Razlog, Nevrokop, Demirhissar, Melnik
and Sores and that all the insurgent
bands in eastern Macedonia had re-
ceiyed direct orders to begin operations.
The chief hope Of the revolutionary
organization now centers in the outbreak
in eastern Macedonia, which is expected
to assume considerable proportions, as
the leaders there are all officers of the
Bulgarian reserve. This, the sympa-
thizers with the Macedonian cause hope,
will arouse a war feeling in the Bulga-
rian army and force the government to
spouse the Macedonian cause.
Dispatches received at Sofia from va
rious sources say General Zontchel has
been greeted everywhere with the great
est enthusiasm and that all the peasants
are Aocking to his banner,
A dispatch from Rilo Monastery says
the town Of Razlog has been in flames
since Sunday night. The insurgents
are attacking Butchevo and severe fight
ing is reported to be going on between
the insurgent bands and the Turkish
troops. The sound of artillery is plainly
heard at Rilo. Another fight is reported
to have taken place near Okhrida, %
miles from Monastir, in which 80 Turks
were killed and many were wounded
All the intelligent Bulgarians Of the
town ofOkhrida were recently arrested
on suspicion Of communicating with the
insurgent bands and were sent in chains
to Monastir.
A letter from Philippopolis says the
authorities there have distributed rife
and ammunition in all the frontier vii
lagos for use in case fan attack being
made by the Turks.

master General Payne being the political
expert of the Cabinet. Mr.. Payne in
formed the President that he would
probably have a full report on the postal
scandal ready by October 20. This re-
port, it is said, will show that the in
vestigation Of corruption in the depart
ment has been thorough and complete,

investigation by the extra session Of
Congress which will meet November 9,
nut the democrats may force an investi-
