as well as because of the extraordi-
nary powers of her mind, that she
took to study so kindly and learned so
many things while so young. Her
father and mother were away at court
much of the time. leaving the girl to
the care of her governess and her
school masters at the great, gloomy
family place called ERADICATE, down in
the country. The big, ugly, square
brick house was built on the edge of
a great forest and surrounded by
thousands of acres of almost unin-
habited land.
There were few books and no news
papers at the castle, and no playmates
for Lady Jane. for her goVerneSs
would not let her play with the chill
dren of the servants, and there were
no other children within miles
When she was IA years old Lady
, Jane was taken to court by her par
ents, and after that spent much time
there, where everybody was delighted
by her learning, her beauty and her
wit. At court she was able to have
some recreation, but she still kept up
her studies, and when she went to
spend long periods with her parents
at gloomy ERADICATE she had a hard
time of it.
In letter which she wrote to the
celebrated scholar Roger Ascham, with
whom she used to correspond as with
an equal, she tells how, whenever she
tried to do anything in the presence
of her sharp and severe parents,
either to speak, keep silent, sit, stand
or go, eat, drink, be merry or sad, be
sewing, playing, dancing or doing any
thing else" she was constantly criti-
cised and very often pinched or
slapped if she did not do it perfectly.
In those days children were freely
chastised by their parents, even af-
ter they had grown up, and Lady Jane,
great heiress though she was and OF
the royal blood, got her share of whip
pings. But she says that when she
was at her studies she was always
happy, and when called away from
them she would burst into tears.
Ascham, who visited her at Brad
gate when she was a girl of twelve,
found her reading Plato in the orig
inal when the rest of the family were
out hunting, and she told him that she
was thankful for having such stern
parents, as she had learned by their
strict discipline to find more happi-
ness in learning than in all the pomps
and vanities and all the pleasures Of
the world.
She was a wonderful child in her
knowledge of politics, and of what
was taking place in foreign coun-
spond with her about affairs of State
as if she We're a grown woman of the
greatest intellect.

MUSIC IN BATTLE.
An Instance Where 1t Defeated the
Side That Played IL.


Music is considered by military men
to be the best possible means to en-
hearten dispirited soldiers. A ban has
often saved a battle. But the Filipinos
lost fight by setting their band into
operation.
An American company was besieged
in its barracks, standing off the attack
OF several hundred Filipinos. Finally
the Filipino commander ordered his
band to turn itself loose, which it did,
with some Spanish airs. Meanwhile
the firing went on.
Suddenly the native bandsmen burst
out with an American piece that they
had learned in Manila before the war.
1t was Dixie" The besieged Ameri-
cans were all Texans and Tennessee
ans.
With a yell and a howl they burst
out of their barracks and swept the
insurgents out of the town.

OF his splendid home when the news
reached him of the exposure and the
injury received then hastened his
death He was placed under bonds
and at once resigned as general coun-
sci OF the worlds fair and left st.

II is said that the ordinance to re-

Is not certain. The mayor does not

A NICE
POINT
Is Raised in Regard to Board Of
Public Works.
The Mayor Claims that the Board 10
Now Established for Six
Years.
APPOINTMENT

A nice question may possibly come
mp IN tonight in the councils in re-
gard 20 the board OF public works
The second class charter provides that
when once tho board is established
10 cannot be abolished for six years
Mayor Yeiser and those who favor the
board OF public works, which will
place into the hands OF q few men the
control OF the light plant, the con.
tracts for $500, 900 worth Of street
paving, and n number OF other things
now controlled by the twenty mem bers
Of the boards. claim that the ordi.
nance passed by the old boards a short
time ago and signed by the mayor
establishes the board for six years,
while those who Oppose claim that the
board is not established until the.mcm.
bers are appointed and qualify.
1t is also said that the cain that
the mayor may appoint n superintcnd-
ent Of public works is misleading, as
such a superintendent cannot control
the various things mentioned, but will
simply supervise, as the street inspec-
tor does the streets or the superintend-
ent of the light plant does that insti-
tuition. IL will still, it is claimed,
leave the regulation OF public institu-
tions, works and other things the ad-
ministration wants to get into its con-
troll, in the hands of the legislative
boards, who were elect cd by the
people, and were not appointed be-
cause of pull, or in return for political
favors, as the board of public works
would likely be. If there is board
of public works there can be no super.
intenden. of public works.
The mayor has never yet appointed
tho board. II is limited that Tor the
sake of. appearances a Republican will
be appointed on the board, if one is ap.
pointed, but the real control Of the
board will be with the administration.
It seems plain, however, that the
ordinance passed establishes the
board, as the charter says that the
general council may Establish"
which shows that il is the boards that
Hestablish - although only tho mavor
can appoint.
Something that would cause great
embarrassment to the administration,
however, would be the refusal of the
Board Of Aldermen, or those members
in it who are opposed to a board Of
public works, If numerous enough to
ratify the appointment Of the mem

HOW ACCIDENT HAPPENED.
The party visiting the cave left the
bank to go across the river The roof
Of the cave, over this river, is arcbed
and the space in the center above the
water is only two and a half feet, or
was only that much yesterday, on ac-
count of rise in the river. In order
to run the boat through it was neces.
sary for the men and women in the
boat to bend low Even then their
backs and heads touched in places.
Suddenly one of the women In the
boat called out that she was unable to
breathe and would have to sit up.
Sne did so, pushing against the roof
OF the cave with both hands. The boat
already heavily loaded tipped to one
side and in an in tslt was half filed
with water.
The women in the party screamed
for help, and in less time than it
makes to tell it the boat oareened to
one side and sunk to the bottom of the
river. The occupants were thrown
out in ths water, which fortunately
was not more than four feet deep at
this point.
ONE MAN NEARLY BROWNS.
Those in the stern were thrown out
in the water which was about is feet
deep A man named Kelly, from Chi
cago, was almost drowned ard had to
be carried to shore. He sank twice be-
fore he was rescued. 1t required some
time to bring him back to conscious
ness.
That no one was drowned was due
to the heroism Of John NJ Nelson, L be
guide, who, after the boat in which
the party was making the trip through
the cave had gone to the bottom of
the river, ordered all the party to
stand still in the water until q light
could b. secured. At one time Nelson
held two fainting women in his arms.
and prevented them from falling into
the water until assistance could be
brought 10 the spot.
Among the entire party there was
only one man who had any matches
which were not watersoaked when the |
boat first upset. This man. a Mr.. Bar
nett, by burning his handkerchief and
other parts of his clothing managed to
furnish enough light to enable the
party to see the way to the shore,
about 25 feet from the point where
4 hp accident occurred

Petrlned Human skuII.

c. E Meyer. county clerk OF Costil-
la county. has written letter to State
Curator Ferrill from San Luis which
may result in bringing into the posses
sion Of the State Historical Society a
prize relic in the shape OF a petrined
skull. Mr.. Meyer wrote as follows:
Il have in my possession part OF
human skull. which is real. genuine
petrifaction. showing plainly the brain
cells and convolutions OF the brain.

This curiosity was found by Mex
lean boy some years ago on a small

SUDDEN DOWNFALL.
Denver Society Leader Railroaded to
Penitentiary.

Denver. April lion Friday Her
bert F. Mellen was a welcome guest
in the best social circles of Denver.
Last night he was locked up in the
penitentiary at Canon City. dressed in
convict, stripes, to serve term OF not
less than four or more than five years
for embezzlement from the Interna-
tional Trust Company. for which he
has been teller during the past nine
years. His shortage of about $4,000
was due to the expense of keeping a
place in the smartest social set. which
made demands on his purse that his
salary could not meet. There are
reports that he lost money at bridge
whist and poker. but. IL SO, the fact
has not been verified.
No such spectacular occurrence as
tonished Denver for years as the rapid
arrest, trial and conviction OF Mellen.
Arrested on Thursday, his trial and
conviction followed within eighteen
hours. and In twenty-four hours he
was on his way to Canon City.
He pleaded guilty as calmly and
firmly as though giving an order to a
waiter at club.

CHINESE EXCLUSION.
Attorney General Knox Says II VIII.
Continue.

Washington. April 17.-Attorney
General Knox has handed to the Presi-
dent his opinion regarding the validity
of the Chinese exclusion law. While
the orinion has not been made public.
IL is known that the attorney general
holds in effect that the denunciation
of the treaty by China does not oper-
ate to nullify the existing laws and that
the exclusion can be enforced as rigid
ly hereafter as under the treaty.
After the denunciation of the exist
ing treaty by China the subject OF the
exclusion of Chinese was considered
by the President and his Cabinet. The
President also discussed the matter
with the leaders In Congress. In ac-
cordance with the action OF the Chi
nese government the treaty will expire
December 7th next. II was manifestly
necessary. therefore. that It should be
determined before the adjournment of
the present session of Congress wheth-
er or not the law enacted originally In
1892 would continue in effect after the
treaty lapsed. This question was re-
ferred to the attorney general by the
President. and 1t is on that question
that he has prepared an opinion.
In its effect the exclusion law ia
more uraStlc tnan lHe treaty Wnie
the treaty is In force the points of DIFF
ference between the law and the treaty
are decided In accordance with the
terms of the latter. II is the hope of
the Chinese government that n new
treaty will be negotiated which Will
prove more favorable to Chinese immi-
grants that is the present treaty. In
deed. such a treaty is now being con-
sidered. but the negotiations have not
progressed sufficiently to Indicate what
the precise nature of the convention
may be eventually.
A bill which seeks to strengthen ev-
cry weak place in the Chinese exclu-
sion act. drawn by the Department OF
Justice. was introduced in the House
to-day. 1t covers all points which might
by any possibility be affected by the
denunciation of the treaty by China.
