Curious Facts About India.


India is perhaps most commonly
known to us as a land of famines and
plague and cholera and a population
Of 100000 The recent blue book
issued by England tells some astound-
ing facts about the Indian people. The
death rate is given as 17.S for Upper
Burma, AL for Punjab, an average of
91.49, or just double the average in
England and Wales. And yet In spite
of that. the birth rate for the country
was 1874 per 1000, two and one-haIf
times that Of England and Wales, and
rising in one province to the enormous
figure Of 56.9. 1t nowhere fell below
239
The normal figures are hardly less
definite. To keep these millions in or
der 10000 police suff1ced. Crime is on
the decrease. The prison population
dropped to 93.76O from 1O5,O13 in 1900.
The people are supposed to be Hitter

TORONTO SUITS
THE PRINTERS
Canadian City Is Selected
as Next Meeting Place Of
the Typographical Union

ST. LOUIS, Aug 1.-THE Interna-
tional Typographical Union convention
to-day selected Toronto, Canada, as the
place at which to hold the next annual
convention.
During to-day's session it was voted
to increase the annual salaries of the
president and secretary treasurer from
$500 to $500. The matter was then re-
ferred to the referendum for final ac-
ton.
The report of the committee on re-
ports of officers showed the growth of
the International Typographical Union
during the past year. The report also
declared the union officers unalterably
opposed to open shops.
The report was unanimously ac-
cepted.
A sharp tilt occurred between Dele
gate William A. Greene of Indianap-
oils and President Lynch over the pub
lication of letter rejecting on a can
didate during the last campaign.
Delegate Greene accused President
Lynch with having resorted to some
| alleged questionable methods to secure
the defeat of a candidate for president
during the last campaign.
President Lynch took the floor and
denied that he had resorted to the
| measures charged.
Delegate Greene charged President
Lynch with falsehood
Instantly the convention was in COM
motion.
After considerable discussion the mo-
ton was referred back to the commit
tee on laws for further consideration

A WEALTHY MINING MAN
Warrant Out for Arrest of George E.
BoswOrth on Charge of Defraud-
ing an Innxeeper.

Mrs. Margaret Adams, who keeps a
lodging house at % Eddy street, Sc
cured a warrant yesterday for the ar
rest of George E. Bosworth on a
charge of defrauding an innkeeper.
She was accompanied by Bosworth' s
wife and his mother-in-law. 1t is
claimed that Bosworth represented
himself as a wealthy mining man and
invited the young lady who subse-
Quently became his wife, and her
mother, to live at 29 Eddy street,
where he had a room. They contin-
ued to live there after the marriage,
about a month ago, until Bosworth
disappeared few days ago without
paying his room rent He is supposed
to have left the city.
Il found" said Mrs. Bosworth, a
tall, willowy brunette, that my hus-
band was nothing but an adventurer.
He paid the clergyman who married
us with check which was fictitious.
He borrowed my gold watch and
pawned it and also borrowed as much
money as he could from me and my
mother. I hope he is caught"

ONE WOMAN'S STRANGE
POWER OVER ANOTHER
Mrs Cords Said to Have Borrowed
Large Sums From Mrs. Clark
on Unsecured Notes.

A suit was begun in the Superior
Court yesterday for the recovery of
$18,225, alleged to be due on seven
promissory notes executed in 1901 and
1902 by Mathilde r. d;ords in favor of
Ann E. Clark. The notes are unse-
cured and represent money borrowed
from woman now dead. Mrs. Clark
died January 2f, 1903, and her estate
is being administered in Sacramento
County by Mrs Rose NJ. Biggs and
Mrs. Addie Clark Merton, Mrs. Clark's
daughters, who are the plaintiffs in
the action for the recovery of the
money. Their attorney is ]. G. Bates.
The first note was dated March s.,
1901, and was for $4,000. Another
one for the same amount was dated
July II, and the others were for from
1925 to $500.
Attorney Bates declares that Mrs.
Cords was a stranger to the woman
from whom she succeeded in borrow
ing such large sums and that Mrs
Clark, although more than 70 years
old, was apparently in her right mind.
Mrs. Cords obtained the large loans
and gave her unsecured notes there
for. Besides getting all of the money
Mrs. Clark had on deposit in a local
bank, it is said that the old lady bor-
rowed between $4,000 and $4,000 from
D. o. Mills & Co in order to accommo-
date the demands of Mrs. Cords. The
borrower is the secretary of the Pine
Needle Company at 364 Sutter street.

Duties in Canal Zone.

In connection with the report from
Panama of dissatisfaction with the
requirements that steamers clearing
from La Boca must receive their
clearance papers from the American
authorities, it is stated by the Pana-
ma Canal Commission that there can
be no possible misinterpretation OF
the canal treaty involved in that or
der. La Boca, it is pointed out. Is
about a mile back from the ocean and
is clearly within the canal zone. The
Panamans also complain of the diff
Guilty OF replacing the revenue lost to
the republic by allowing goods from
the United States to enter the canal
zone free of duty, which they fear will
be smuggled into the Panama republic.
The provision for this free entry was
made so as to conform to other ports
OF American territory. All goods
whether free or dutiable entering the
canal zone in any way must come
through the custom house of the re-
spective collection districts, and the
governor of the canal zone is already
authorized to make an agreement with
the President of Panama for co-opera-
ton of the customs services of the
two governments to prevent frauds
and smuggling.

This action is reported to have orig

supposed by this firm 10 be non-cOn-
traband When it was discovered that
there was no way TO send them directly

a communication that was sent to the
commercial bodies, in which he sets
forth the facts as they appeared to
him.

The presidents Of the commercial

The Tiniest of Mannscripts.

One Of the tiniest manuscripts ever
recorded is little Bible in a walnut
shell the size of a small hens egg, an
account Of which has been preserved
among the Harleian manuscripts by
Peter Bales, an Englishman and a
clerk of the chancerY. 1t contained as
many leaves as a large Bible and as
much reading matter on each page.
With a powerful glass it could be read
easily. The author of this tiniest book
on record lived in the time of Queen
Elizabeth, and in 1875 presented her
Majesty with the Lords prayer, the
creed, ten commandments, two short
Latin prayers, his own name ana
motto and the date, all written on a
bit of paper the size of a finger-nail,
and set in a ring Of gold covered with
crystal. In this case also a magni-
tying glass made the writing quite
legible.-Boston Transcript

not being distinguishable to the inter-

captain seized the Japanese lieutenant
and jumped overheard with him.
Meanwhile the Japanese deStroyers
had their searchlights turned on the
Russian ship. From the deck of the
lightship observers could see this act,
which was followed by the shooting of
rifles and saber strokes and Russians
jumping overheard.
JAPANESE HOIST THEIR FLAG.
The fighting had lasted ten minutes,
when an explosion followed. The ex-
plosion blew away the main bridge,
but did no damage to the hull. The
Russians by this time were mostly all
overheard. The Japanese at once
hOisted- their flag.
Presently a searchlight from the
Chinese cruiser Haichi disclosed a
Chinese cutter alongside the Asashio.
1t remained there only minute and
then went alongside the Kasumi,
where it stopped an equal length of
time. The cutter then returned to the
Haichi.
The inaction of the Chinese fleet is
unexplained so far. 1t is believed seri-
Gus international complications will re-
suit from the incident.
There are unconf1rmed stories in cir
culation that the japanese fired at the
Russians when they were in the water
and that they refused to rescue any of
them.
The japanese Consul claims that the
Japanese ships were ignorant of the
dismantling of the Ryeshitelni. An AS

the fact when he visited the two Japa-

The disarmament of the Ryeshitelni
was completed last night and her f1ae
was hauled down, the crew singing
the national anthem. Tears coursed
down the cheeks of Captain Shesta-
kovsky during the ceremony. It was
evident all the preceding day that the
necessity of abandoning his ship,
which had served him so well, great
ly affected the captain, who won con-
siderable renown while at Port Ar

cerned the purpose of the Japanese

that of his assailants with the ship.
