He Bit a Bee With His Jam.

Chester, Pa, August William
Jones, aged IS, of Clifton Heights, took
a honey bee into his mouth, unnoticed,
with a spoonful of jam yesterday at
breakfast. He was soon reminded of
the presence of the insect by being stung
upon the tongue. The pain was intense,
and in a short time the young mans
throat and face had swollen to such an
extent that it was necessary to call in
DR.. Nickle; but no more serious results
are anticipated.

Vienna, April. IA dispatch says
that in the neighborhood of Monastir,
Macedonia, where the insurrection broke
out, Turkish troops pursued 1000 insur-
gents who escaped. The Turks then per-
petrated fearful atrocities upon the in

London, Aug. 14.--In the House OF
Commons today Premier Balfour in dis
cussing the instruction in the Balkans,
said: zone of the deep sources of mis-
chief in Macedonia is the discussions be-
tween the Christians. 1t is not the Turk
alone, deep though his guilt undoubtedly
is, who is responsible for Macedonia

Ex-SLAvE PENSION FRAUD.-For
two months a northern negro calling
himself Mitchell has been organizing
negroes in the Townsville section OF
Georgia and also in Floridainto societies
for the alleged purpose of pushing
Senator Hanna's bill to pension the ex
slaves. Mitchell claimed to be the per-
sonal representative of Senator Hanna
and said funds were needed to push the
bill. The negroes contributed literally
and it is estimated that Mitchell secured
over $4,000. Last week Mitchell left,
saying Senator Hanna had ordered him
to Washington. In the meantime L..
B. Wilson, an old negro of Thomasyille,
who had given Mitchell $50, grew sus-
picious and wrote to Senator Hanna.
Wilson received the following letter from
the Senator: Senator Hanna has
authorized no one to collect money to
aid in securing the passage of this meas
ure and any efforts being made along
that line with the representation that it
is done with his sanction are fraudulent.
Senator Hanna introduced the bill by
request and, on investigation, finding
that the Senate committee had already
reported unfavorably on a similar meas
ure, he withdrew it. 1t is not at all
probable that favorable action could be
secured on such measure in the
future"

BEFORE THE Chautauqua, \. Y, AS
semblv today, Chief Justice Charles B.
Lore. of the Supreme Courtof Delaware,
delivered an address, which set forth
the attitude Of the courts of Delaware
on the subject of lynching The chief
Justice among other things said
Take away the law and society de-
wolves into its original elements, each
man following his arbitrary will. With
us. therefore, government means obedl-
ence TO law. Lawlessness means anarchy.
Mob law is anarchy pure and simple.
Anarchy is the rock upon which all
ancient republics have ultimately been
wrecked and is today one of the most
threatening evils for our republic.
Strangely enough, just at this period OF
our national development, when by UNI
que victories over oppression the United
States has dominant place over the
nations Of the earth, and a time when
our government seemed to be most
firmly rooted in public confidence, we
have been disgraced by some Of the most
revolving and brutal exhibitions of mob
violence recorded in history. The sub
iect is. therefore, one Of intense gravity.
1t is a painful thought that this great
government of ours has this elemental,
structural weakness with all its good.
There is much truth in the Chief
Justices words.

of the fact that they had a dual claim
with the landlords upon the soil upon

expended The traditions of centuries

that the condition of the Irish tenant
farmer under the agrarian laws that kept

government proposes to lend the pur-

snanner Destroys Goldfish.

Reading, Pa, August 14.-All that
William Selak has to show for 500
eiehteen-karat goldfish that populated
one of his fish ponds at Angelica is a ten
pound swapping turtle, which has been
named "Gold Democrat. t." Selak breeds
goldfish, and half a thousand of his
finest stock were penned in a pond by
themselves. Doubtless the swapping
turtle, which lived in brook flowing
into the pond, had feasted in anticipation
upon the goldfish before he decided upon
making foray. Working his way over
the barriers that separated him from the
pond he commenced an onslaught upon
the fish. He stayed not until 500 of
them were dead. Apparently the turtle
killed in wantonness, for few of the fish
were eaten. Selak noticed the dead
fish and drew the water from the pond
to find out what was the trouble. Then
the huge snapper was revealed. There
were many silyerfsh in the pond, but
the turtle touched none of these, con-
fning himself to the goldfish. That is
why she is called "Gold Democrat"
The fish were worth about 5000. The
turtle might bring 81.
