GOVERNOR FORBIDS TT.
Will Not Allow Trial of Negro to Go On Now

Evansville, Ind, July 9.-Governor Durbine late last night, upon learning that Judge Rasch had ordered the negro, Lee Brown, brought back. here for immediate trial telegraphed Judge Rasch that he would not allow the prisoner to be. taken from the state institution at this time. He doubted if a fair trial could be secured now and under the present conditions it would be too dangerous for the pris- oner to be brought here. Judge Rasch immediately wired Sheriff Kratz to re- turn without the prisoner He said the trial would be postponed indefinite ly.
 It is probable that the troops will be sent back home tomorrow night un- less excitement should be aroused by the funerals of the four victims of Monday nights battle which will be held today. John Bartlett died short ly before midnight. He was the tenth victim.

A Real Clam Bakee

It is worth while to have seaweed, if you have to drive 20 miles for it, but, if unobtainable, you can make shift with well-moistened hay, grass or such material to make steaming bed for the viands to cook on. First a layer of seaweed, several inches deep, then your potatoes, sweet po- tatoes, clans and green corn in or der, using judgment, so as not to have your material burned by too much coaIs or heat, ad yet be sure of enough heat to finish the cooking Potatoes, if large, will need to cook longer than the clans or corn. The latter should be husked, with the ex- ception of one layer of husk over the kernels. Now cover aH"with seaweed, and let the mass steam for from 20 to 40 minutes. Frequent inspections, with attending burns and sooty fin gers, are part of the fun.-Country Life in America.

CALIFORNIA SCENERY.
Ehere Is a Glory in It That Inspires the Poets of the Western
 Seaboard.

As long as there remains the love of beauty in the human soul, so long will the glory of California scenery, and that of the whole Pacific coast, prove a source of inspiration to the poetic mind, says Herbert Bashford, in Atlantic. Descriptive verse has been from the beginning a marked feature of the literature of this re- zion. In fact, the term Landscape poets" may be properly applied to this bevy of songbirds which seemed to the late Maurice Thompson to have taken complete possession of the entire western seaboard." Suf- fee to say, that if volume of verse were written by a Californian which reflected nothing of the states scenic beauty or its warmth of color, it would not only come as surprise to most reviewers, but the loyalty of the poet might be seriously ques- tioned. While all this display of local color may seem too apparent an effort on the part of Californians to place upon their work the stamp of definite locality, and may be con- sidered by some a cheap form of art, it is this very sensitiveness to beauty and grandeur with which na- ture has clothed the west that offers the most promise of its rapid literary advancement-a sensitiveness, more over, that will become more and more acute with the cultivation of the higher faculties through increas- ing educational growth.

GooD-LUcK PENCE RAILS.
Actor Had to Touch Each Iron Raxx Because of a Sort of Su-
 perstftfOus Belief

A very well-known actor now play ing in local stock company was seen one day lately touching with his fingers the iron rails of each fence he passed on his way to the theater, says the Washington Post
 What on earth are you doing? ?" ex- claimed a friend who had been try ing to catch up with the actor.
 Why, it does seem silly in this ad- vanced age of civilization, doesn't it !? But, do you, know, can no more help touching these iron rails, particular ly when I am to give performance, than I can taking a drink when am thirsty. l believe it's. bad luck to miss touching one, and so closely does this idea cling to me that I have frequently gone back and put my finger on the one may have missed. I hate to admit the superstition, even to myself, but when things go wrong with me, unconsciously find myself wondering what iron rails I recently passed without putting my fingers on. Most people, especially theat- rical folks, have as firm faith in the virtue of a rabbits foot, coin, or a specimen of stone as do in the per- sistent touching of the iron rails on the fences, believing, as I do, that the inanimate objects assure good luck''

HEALTH OF BRITISH TOWNS.
Merthyr TydfiI Takes the Lead as the Deadliest and Hornsey the
 HeaIthiest.

? Heartburnings will ensue from the registrar generals annual summary of "births. deaths and causes of death in London and other large towns, 1902" For the registrar, in his relent- less statistical way, has weighed the health and virtues of these towns, and many are found wanting, says a Lon don report.
 The deadliest town in the land is Merthyr Tydfil, where people die half as fast again IS in the country as a whole. Its infantile mortality (185 die out of every thousand born) is second only to that of Preston. Merthyr Tydfi1 had ten cases of small pox, for fever it was the worst town In the country but three Opswich, Grimsby and Birkenhead), for diar- rhoea the worst but seven, and for deaths by violence" it was absolutely supreme. .s --. :
 The second deadiest town is Liver pool, and the next deadliest Wigan, Manchester, esbrough, Burnley, Hanley, Bootle and St. Helens, and Newcastle-on-Tyne, Oldham. Preston, South Shields, Rhondda, Stockport, Sunderland and Birmingham are thor oughly bad in this relation.
 The healthiest of 76 great towns in England and Wales is Hornsey, where the death rate is only 9.80 per thou sand. This is much better than the whole of England and Wales, whose death rate is 1928, and better even than the smaller towns and rural dis tricts, whose rate is 14.So.
 Other most healthy great towns are Walthamstow, Leyton, East Ham, Wi1lesden and Croydon; and the healthiest seaside towns of size are Bournemouth (1s.o5), Hastings {13.e1), Yarmouth (15.50) and Brighton (15.5s). London cannot be called healthy, for it's rate is 1864, which is we'll above the average, and places the metropolis forty-eighth down the list.
 The worst towns for measles were Burnley, Bristol, Barrow and Cardiff, and for scarlet fever West Bromwich, Burnley, Bolton, St. Helens and Wigan. Diphtheria was worst in Hanley, Rhondda and Middlesbrough, and whooping cough in South Shields and Barrow.
 Tn London itself the healthiest sub urbs are Hampstead (1o.s-a shade be low Hornsey), Stoke Newington (13.4), Wordsworth (13.5), Lewisham ((13.6), Paddington (14.6l. The worst places to live in are Ffnsbury, Southwark, HoIborn, Bermondsey, Bethnal-green, Shoreditch, Stepney and the city.
 The year was a healthy one for Lon- don, and disease was much below the average, excepting smallpox, cancer suicide and homicide. There were 32e deaths in the streets from horses and vehicles, 3,4to from other violence, 53s suicides, Fl homicides and Sexecu. tions.
 The death rate in Bombay was 62.s per 1000; Paris, 1894; Vienna, 1914. and St, Petersburg, B.

TIE JEWS PETITION
President Roosevelt to Con-
 fer With B'nai B'rith
HUGH DELAY IN ITS COMPLETION.
St Is Expected the Document Will Be Handed Tn at mn Early Date to Be Sent to the Rus
 sian Government.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, July 9.-Presi- dent Roosevelt and Secretary Hay have concluded their conference relative to the B'nai B'rith petition to the Russian government. The petition itself has not been completed, and it can be said that the president deeply regrets the delay in the placing of the document ln his hands. The president expects to have conference at Sagamore Hill with three of the Jewish citizens who have promoted the idea of forwarding a petition to the Russian government. On that day Simon Wolf of Washing ton and Oscar Straus and Leon N. Levy Of New York will take luncheon with the president. It is expected that the petition, which has been revised carefully by it's authors, will be handed to the president at that time. In any event the subject in all it's phases will be considered thoroughly
 It is understood that the Jewish citi- zens who have been insistent in their advocacy of the sending of the petition desire that matters relating to it should be considered entirely apart from the Manchurianrqu This, it is point ed out by state department officials, is scarcely possible, as the two matters are inseparably connected in the mani fold ramif1catio of the United States diplomatic relations with Russia.
 Whether the petition when completed will be sent immediately to the Russian government or whether the Russian foreign officials will be asked first xyhAfhar if uYilI T-oHoiyo sr1Hh O pr1oSnOfa- ton has not been determined definitely. The result would be the same in effect whether the one method were adopted or the other, as, naturally, Russia would be cognizant of the nature of the petition before she declined or agreed to receive it.

PORT WASHINGTON, N. Y, July 9. "A fatal accident occurred here when John Seaman and friend, son of the proprietor of the Sanspareil House, set out on the sound in a rowboat in quest of snipe. MT. Seaman was sitting at the bow watching the shore for birds, and when he spied flock he hurriedly seized his gun, which was cooked, and started to raise 1t to his shoulder.
