'FUFITIVE FREMONT CAUGHI
 YESTERDAY EVENING
Jail Breaker Picked Up By Sergeant Britton
 In Skagway Restaurant. Led Of1' te oers a Merry Chase For Week

Fraser that Fremont would probably put up there. z
 Fremont escaped from jail . week ago today, and though he had scant five minutes to the good, he has led the marshal's office a merry chase. He went across the line. At Fraser a col lection of slO was taken up for him, and clothes were furnished him by some deserters. Though either Depu- ty Marshal Shook or Jailer Burns were over the line nearly every day, Ere mont managed to dodge along the line of the road as far as Caribou. Here he says he talked to Q mounted policeman and enquired the distance to Atlln.
 Mir. Shook got tip that Fremont was making back toward skagway and was carefully guarding the water front and all boats as they lay at the wharf.
 Fremont says that he was coming In to give himself up and that he had written a letter to that effect. How ever, this statement is not believed.

With clanking manacles on his feet, and weighted down so he will not again attempt to get away, Richard Fremont, the alleged fOrger again occupies a cell in the United States jail. He was captured by sergt. BrlttOn, of Company I, in the New Home restaurant yester- day afternoon, at 4:9O o'clock.
 Fremont had arrived in the city late Monday night and put up at the New Home. He stated that he expected to catch the Princess May, but when he awoke yesterday morning itw was to find that the Canadian liner had gone. He then decided to wait for the Dolphin, but while standing at the dining room window, reading paper, he was seen and recognized by sergt Britton, who placed him under arrest and turned him over to Deputy Marshal Shook, who was on his way to search the New Home at the time, having heard at

as button hooks, boxes of hairpins or tooth
picks, collar buttons and papers of pins
and all at one cent 1t would seem that
even though these penny merchants sold
out completely every day they could not
make enough profit to buy their food and
clothing. But somehow or other they all
manage to exist from day to day and the
great majority Of them also manage to
keep holy the Sabbath day. The Jewish
Sabbath always finds Hester street for
saken. On that one day of the week the
push carts and baby carriages and strips Of
old oilcloth are stored away; the calls of
the merchants, the excited chatter of the
shoppers and the shrill cries OF the chill
dren are not to be heard The orthodox
Jew has struggled and toiled and sighed
through the six long days of labor, bear
ing his burden patiently because of the
thought that the blessed Sabbath will bring
rest and peace. Rest and peace-it is little
enough to ask for after the many weary
days. God grant that the rest may be un-
disturbed-that the peace may be sweet.

BISHOP AND POLITICIAN
CHAMPION OF CROATIA'S RIGHTS AT
NEARLY NINETY YEARS.
MonsignOr StrOssmeyer, Bishop of
Bosnia, Says His Country Can
not BE Conquered.

Correspondence Of the Indianapolis Journal.
DJAKOVO, Hungary, June 10.-Slavonia
and Pennsylvania are in state Of revolt,
and scenes resembling the bloody conflict
between peasantry and barons OF the first
French revolution are of daily occurrence
here, for three and a half million Croatians
are fighting to maintain their national
rights against twice that number of Hun
garians, and their bishop says they will win
in the end.
After the venerable Leo XIII the belli-
cose Dr. Strossmeyer is easily the most re-
markable living member of the Roman
hierarchy in Europe. Born in the year that
witnessed the great Napoleons downfall,
he attained the priesthood in 1885, became
a professor of theology in 1S43. and in 1s49
bishop of Djakovo. Ten years later Bishop
Strossmeyer entered politics, and was
elected to the Reichsrath as the spokesman
of the Croatian nationality, as whose leader
and counselor he has figured ever since,
combating Austrian and Hungarian ag-
gressiveness and slowly raising his despised
country from the slough of dependence.
After pocketing. in the late sixties, an
official rebuke from Emperor Francis JO-
seph for demanding-and obtaining-neces-
sary reforms, Strossmeyer transferred the
scene of his fighting to Rome, where, at the
Ecumenical Council convoked by Plus TX,
he was the last prelate to withdraw opposi-
ton to the dogma of papal infallibility.
Since then he has been chiefly prominent
a founder of educational institutions,
missionary builder, builder of churches and
defender of the Croatian nation.
The Croatian University at Agram is his
work. The great basilica at Djakovo, large
enough to give a seat to every man, woman
and child in town, was built after his plans
and with the millions collected by him, and
all the time he continued to lead the minor
ity against the government in Vienna,
Buda-Pesth and Agram.
AN IMPRESSIVE PERSONALITY.

in my minds eye and prepared to make the
acquaintance of an old gentleman who,
tagged out by continuous effort and tre-
mendous mental and physical exertions
during three quarters of a century, had
about done with things of this world, and,
like the venerable Leo, was beginning to
show the ravages Of age. But as the cham
berlin opened the mighty folding doors,
there appeared on the Threshold a remark
ably elastic figure, enlivened by a sunny
face-you would not have judged him more
than sixty-five at the utmost.
The bishop is not tall man, but looks so
in his flowing episcopal robes and, particu-
larly, because he holds himself straight as
an arrow. He preserves to this day an al
most youthful complexion of white and
pink, and the silvery hair under the violet
skull-cap is long and plentiful. The bishop
has sharp but kindly eyes and, as he said in
the course of conversation with smile, he
never had any use for glasses-except to
drink out off,
-and-eighty years and four months!
1T seemed unbelievable. He walked quick
ly towards me-the two elderly court chap
lains attending the bishop as matter of
courtesy-tried in vain to keep step with
him, and babe the correspondent a welcome
in clear and sonorous voice.
Answering my question the bishop said:
81 am enjoying the very best Of health,
have vitality to spare, I think, only my
hearing is not as good as it was fifty years
ago." Then, without further preliminaries,
he took up the subject Of my visit
THE CROATIAN REVOLUTION.
81 need not tell you how deeply deplore
violence and bloodshed, said the bishop,
"but these excuses Notwithstanding, L
maintain that the Croatian nationality is
not to be subdued, and that we are more
determined than ever to uphold, defend and
extend our national rights individuality
and independence. Uphold, defend and
mind what l say-extend them. We are a

we set out to establish a reign of terror in
order to make ourselves supreme in sections
of the country where we are in the minor
ity. That 1t lie; our agitation is not pri-
marily aggressive. We are on the defen-
sive, and those trying to suppress us must
not expect lenient treatment. The Germans
in Austria and Magyars in Hungary, on the
other hand, have combined to guarantee
each other supremacy in their respective
spheres. This fact forces upon us Slavs the
battle for existence. Unless We fight for our
lives the combined seventeen and a half

WONDERFUL HEWITT LAMP.
Aladdin's "Glfm'' Beaten n Mile by
New York Mans Invention.

Chicago Tribune
1t must be the spirit of Aladdin that is re-
incarnated in Peter Cooper Hewitt, of New
York. And the new incarnation is an i'm
provement on the old one. The old lamp
was wonderful enough. The old jinns were
terrific enough The new lamp, however
with its mercury vapor, and the new jinns,
assuming the guise OF obedient electric cur
rents, make all Aladdin's former exploits
seem tame.
Imagine a dark room. A man brings in a
Hewitt lamp. All that one sees i'm his hand
Is luminous glass tube. The beams from
this tube are so soft that one can look d.
rectly at them without any sense of dis
comfort. There is no glare. There is no
aching intensity of brightness. The room
is not smitten with light. 1t is simply suf-
fused with it,
One popularity. however, will be OBJ
served. Among the rays which are emitted
from the Hewitt lamp there are no red
ones Orange rays. yellow rays, green rays
blue rays, indigo rays. violet rays-all these
are present. Red rays are absent One of
the colors of the spectrum is cut or The
consequence is that I'm rooms Illuminated by
the Hewitt lamp all objects lose whatever
red they may naturally have. Human faces
assume an unfortunate unearthly. pale
green tint And when one goes forth TO
the outside world the sudden return of red
results in a reddish world Subordinate
modifying reds which were invisible before
become visible now. The place which eacn
color has in the composite color scheme of
the universe becomes startlingly evident
One learns what the absence of any color
would mean.
Mr.. Hewitt hopes by means of subsequent
experiments TO remedy this defect which is
here indicated. Even IL the defect remains,
however, the lamp still has enormous adj
vantages over any other lamp now in exist
ence. AS outlined by Ray Stannard Baker
in this months McClure's, these advan-
tages are: First, eight times as much light
as the Edison incandescent with the same
power; second. superior durability; third,
greater restfulness for the eyes.
Such advantages deserve consideration.
The man who contrived such advantages
also deserves consideration. Especially does
he deserve consideration when one remem-
bers that he was unfortunate enough TO
be not only the son OF a great man, but also
the grandson OF great man. Peter Coop

OLD SPANISH COINS.
The Peninsular Government Objects
to Proposed Action.

Washington Star.
The Spanish government having heard
that the Philippine government is preparing
to collect all the old Spanish copper coins in
the islands and dispose Of them at auction,
has communicated with this government to
say that 1t fears that the coins will be
bought in by spectators and put into cir
culation in Spain at a loss and inconveni-
ence to the government The coins could be
circulated In Spain at their face value, and
If bought cheaply at auction the Spanish
government would be the loser. The Span
ish government has informed this govern
ment that, under the Paris treaty, it be-
lieves that the coins belong to Spain. but is
not disposed to enter into contention on
that point and would like to be allowed to
purchase the coins at a fair price, when
they are put UP for sale.
The secretary of state or the director of
the mint will probably communicate with
the Philippine officials TO ascertain exactly
what is to be done as to the coins and
send an answer to the request Of the Span
ish government.

PRETTY CUBAN DANCE.
A. Compared with Our Romping
Waltzes, 1t Is Pronounced
Thing OF Delight.

A gentleman who teaches dancing
to the young people of certain ex-
elusive Washington set has been tell
ing me that the newest dance is moth
ing more nor less than the American
lied version of the Cuban damon"
l saw a roomful of lads and lassies
going through the pretty dance one
day lately, and after the romping
two-step the stately damon" is u
thing of delight. It is almost as slow
as the minuet and girl who spent
last winter in Cuba tells me that one
can dance it all night in space
not larger than a good-sized dining
table. It is danced in couples, and
SO far as lay mind can make out,
it is simply very, very slow waltz
with a curious swaying motion OF
the body, says a writer in the Wash
ington Post. The children in the
dancing classes dance it to the music
Of La Paloms," and now and then
comes a pause, during which time the
dancers stand in their places and
chat. The girl who spent the winter
in Havana says that the pauses in
the damon are the only times the
well-bred Cuban girl ever has to
speak to a man beyond her chapc-
rone's ear range, and that the Cuban
girl likes the dance for that very
reason.
