FATHER TRICKED.

With the assistance of friend and /:
brand new automobile, Capt. Charles j
Senter, an instructor in military schoo
at Nyack, N. Y, successfully carried
out plan to elude the vigilance of NJ.
f. Flemming, wealthy real estate owner
of Boston, yesterday afternoon. AS
result Miss Martha Flemming, aged Is
years, very pretty and, up to yesterday,
a pupil in NOtre Dame Academy, al
Roxbury, is now Mrs. Senter, and Mr..
Flemming has realized that he wa;
cleverly tricked. Flemming objected
strongly to Senter's attentions to his
daughter, and short time ago sent hel
to the academy. The lovers managed
to correspond, however, and made
plans for an elopement, which were sue
cessfully carried out. Flemming, in
order to prevent Senter from seeing bis
daughter, had detectives watch the
academy. A few days ago, however, he
discharged the detectives and went on
guard himself. On Wednesday young
man called on Mr.. Flemming in regard
to purchasing a house. He talked 1t
over aud made an appointment for yes
terday afternoon at an hour when the
academy pupils are allowed to be out
for exercise in the garden. Mr.. Flem-
ming made the appointment before he
realized this latter fact, but as the young
man had gone he thought it would he ali
right to take chances for once.
Yesterday he was at the house few
minutes ahead OF time. He waited in
vain for the young man to come and
look at the house. When it was an hour
after the agreed time he went back to
his office. Hardly had he reached there
before a messenger boy handed him a
brief joint note signed by his daughter
and Captain Sen;er and stating that they
had just been married. Then Mr..
Flemming SAW why the young man who
wanted to buy real estate had not kept
his appointment. While Mr.. Flemming
was waiting Captain Senter dashed up to
the academy in an automobile. Accord
ing to plans already made, Miss Flem-
ming was in waiting near a gate leading
into the academy grounds, and when the
automobile appeared it took her but a
second to open the gate and step out
into the street. In another second she
was in the automobile, and Captain
Senter had swung the machine around
and was off at scorching speed. In a
few minutes more the automobile was
halted in front of the residence of a
minister, where the couple we're made
man and wife.

FOREST FIRES.

Dispatches from Cumberland Nd,
say that forest fires are destroying every
thing in their path along Roaring Greek
and the whole population including
railroad men, farmers, miners and lun
bermen, are out in force, fighting the
flames. On Tuesday the new Methodist
church at Phillips Mill, near Monroe,
was destroyed. Since then quantities OF
saw logs, telephone poles, fencing and
valuable timber have been burned The
sun is almost obscured by the dense vol
umes of smoke along Roaring Greek and
the fires are moving steadily on the Cur
It's settlement on Rich Mountain, placing
the large mills of II. II. Hankey and
Col. Mabie in great danger.
Advices from Greensburg, Pa, say
that the breaking out anew of the forest
fires on Chestnut Ridge has caused the
greatest CONSERVATION among the people
On Wednesday nighta mountain home
owned by Booth and Finn, near Blairs-
vile intersection, was destroyed. Tele-
graph and telephone poles crossing the
ridge at BlairsFille intersection were
burned and the wires rendered useless.
At Lake Hollow, near New Florence,
the big mill for the manufacture of pins
for poles was burned. The Evans Lum-
Der Company lost several thousand dol
lars worth Of pit posts yesterday. Booth
and Finn lost several cars of crossties.
The fire is raging in the vicinity OF
Ridgeview Park. People of MillwoOd
and Derry are now engaged in lighting
the flames.
The towns of Blendsburg and Lloyds-
vile, in northern Cambria county, have
been threatened with forest fires for sew
eral days. Yesterday the fire was re-
ported close to the latter place. The
sky is black with smokein that direction.
East of these places, the mountain for
so squares miles has been swept clean OF
every tree. An additional 1000 acres
between Bells Run and Rear Loop Run
has been desolated 1t is thought that
no other maintain towns in that section
of the State are in danger, but the fire
continues to burn thousands of dollars
worth of timber. .

of Kishenev, where she died. The anti
Semites. of course, claimed that she was
killed for sacrifice purposes. Not only
did the rioters kill and MAIN people, but
they vented their british instincts upon
the bodies of the dead. Nails were
driven through their nostrils, bodies
were opened and stuffed with feathers,
tongues pulled out, breasts cut off from
the bodies of women. Nor were these
the only ghoullsh acts perpetrated.
Among the dead was found sexton

He was killed where he stood at the

QUEER SIGN LANGUAGE.
Communicating other Than
by Cries.


''The sign language, once forming
such an extensive part Of the human
vocabulary, and still used with much
profit, Is not unknown to lower or
ders of life" said n man whO takes
much interest in matters OF this sort,
according to the New Orleans Times
Democrat, "and have had occasion
in my time TO observe some rather
impressive instances. Some OF the
signs are understandable. Many of
them are plain as words of human
speech, as. for instance, the sapsuclS-
er's love call, the rabbits drumming,
the head gesture which accompanies
the cluck of the old hen when she is
trying to attract the attention Of her
brood TO q bit of food she has uncoy-
cred In the soil.
"But there are many mysterious
and altogether inexplicable things TO
be found in this strange realm Of
signs. Every sign means something.
We may be sure of that. 1t Is a part
and parcel OF speech, II conyeyn q
meaning definite enough<to the crea-
lures in the particular order of life.
But there are so many signs which
are not followed by results which
throw light on their meaning that
the field becomes one for interesting
speculative inquiry. What does the
duck mean, for instance, when sim
ply bobbing the head up and down?

not be followed by any other nctiv-
fly, or by sound of any sort
"They just nod at each other. IL
may be simply friendly sort OF
greeting, n nod of reinsurance that |
all Is quiet on the Potomac and
that there Is no fox or other danger
Gus intruder anywhere around. Or
Il may be firtive sort OF speech,

be, OF course, that this movement OF /

he fashion Of The human kind. Stin
