NOISE AND EXCITEMENT.
Blank Cartridges ITO Born" AT
Colonial Theatre.

To anyone who loves noise and ex-
eitement, the production Saturday
night of Tracy The Outlaw by the
G. w. Parks Stock Company, left
nothing TO be desired, for there was
certainly plenty of noise. 1t would
be hard task for anyone TO count
the number of blank cartridges fired.
Suffice it to say that the whole lower
floor .of the theatre was permeated
with smoke after the third act. and in
the final act several were killed CD
and wounded CD in an attempt to cap
ture "Tracy The Outlaw" Finally
the hero was shot down in a wheat
field trying to make his escape.
Miss Tucker as Molly was very good,
proving conclusiyely that she is the
best actress the company has shown.
Mr.. Stiles again played the part of
the villain. As usual, he was in love
with the girl the hero married, and
was trying to get her away from him.
This was his style nearly every night
last week, and it grew monotonous,
but thank goodness it is all over. The
Stock Company has left town and in
its place is the comic opera company,
Babes In Toyland, which shows at
the Colonial tonight and will, If II
comes up TO its reputation, be the
! best Annapolitans have seen for some
time.

A B0RNEO MASSACRE
A Bloody Tale Brought Back by Re-
 turning Missionaries.

Portland, Oregon, May 12.-A special to the Telegram from Victoria, B. C., sf-s:
 Missionary passengers by the lirer Empress Of India bring advices of an atrocious massacre on the west coast of British North Borneo. On March q, at 10 o'clock at night, a band of 150 rebels frcm the interior, armed with guns, parangs. spears and blow pipes swept upon the little colony at Ka- wang, q railway station, midway be- tween Jesselton and Papar The band divided into two parts, one of a hun dTed remaining concealed as a reserve on the top Of the hill, while the other rushed down upon the settlement, butchered the inmates of Chinese shops, attacked the railway station, smashed the telephone and killed the wife and child of the station master, the latter saving his life by hiding in the bushes.
 The band of murderers then turned their attention to the coolies, killing and wounding savagely right and left. The English railway driver was the first victim a speedy and terrible end coming to him and his wife. The cafnagei then became general, males, females and innocent babes being butchered in the lust of blood. The houses and nuts in Kawang were set fire to next in the brutal career of the favages and when nothing was left but dead bodies and cruelty wounded people, ashes and desolation, the san Spinary wretches went their way.
 The survivors, one native fireman, the nation master, with few of the wounded coolies, ran down the line in the direction of Jesselton for their lives. By putting all steam on a con- struction engine stationed there, the terrible news was carried to Jesselton. | The tctal number of killed was 13O. No record is available of the number wounded.

DOWN TIE MESA TO SCHOOL.
Curious Sight Presented by Children
 of Mocui Indian Tribe.

If we stood about ' o'clock in the morning rear the foot of the Oraibi mesa in Arizona we should see . most interesting sight.
 The flat topped elevations called rlesas are very common features of the arid plains of Arizona Some of them have for ages been the homes of Indian tribes whose enemies could not easily reach the tops of these hic rocks, and SO those who lived on them were comparatively safe.
 This particular mesa is the home of the Oraibi branch of the Moqui tribe Perched high in the air on their little plateau, the elders still practice the snake dance and other famous rites of their fathers,
 Only a few years ago they were called hostile because they opposed more strenuously than the other Mo quis the introduction of white influ- ences among them. When 1t was pTo posed to erect a school house near the base of the mesa, and to place all the children in the school, the parents stubbcrnly refused to permit it. They yielded finally, however, to firm pres sure, and every child of school age was placed Tn the school.
 The enterprise has been a great src- cess, and whoever stands near the school at o'clock in the morning and looks up at the plateau 800 feet above him suddenly sees children begin tc spill over the edge of the mesa. One child comes into view behind another and soon the face of the great rock i: alive with them as they descend the steep, zigzag path leading to the bot tom Of the mesa and to the school
 The sight interests visitors because it is the unusual. The little folk seen to be hanging to the wall of tho mighty rock as they slowly descend it: face.
 They keep pouring over the edge arc the head of tEe line has reached the school on the plain below before the last of it leaves the top cf the mesa, When the struggling line ccmes fully into view it is seen to be nearly hall a mile long, and ints convolutions on the path bear some resemblance to tho movements of a snake.

recalled if he had remained an crdlna y

recalled if he had remained an crdina-y man.
 The story of h.s illegitimacy, how ever, was probably conjecture basel upon his reticence regarding h.s ealy life. lit does not appear in any biogra- phy of him, nor is any circumstance Of his birth stated, except the pace of it and that relation is incorrect There have been obscure newspaper stor es Of his sinister birth but tIey have a. ways lacked detail.
 That Stanley was illegitimate, MT. Edwards says IS a fact. He says that it was never hinted, however, that h.s father was a nobleman. MT. Edwards says that though his birth was much discussed at Dcnbigh when he became famous, he never heard that the pa- ternitX of the explorer was known CT even suspected.
 The early life Cf Stanley was spent ut St. Asaph's workhouse in the Vale or Clwyd. He was then known Gs Rol- lands, his mothor having in the meap- time married man of the name Of John Hollands. Stanley remained on the parish during his early childaocd. He was a. boy of about fourteen when he left the country and when he was next heard of in. that quiet mock Of the world he WAS the man who had found Livingstone.
 On his return to his native land after his first expedition to Africa, he went hack to the Vale of Clwyd as soon es he could escape from the honors which the public was heaping upon him. He remembered the wor.:house of St. As aph's, many of whose 200 little inmates
 were situated as he had been when be lived there. The explorer rezo.vei to give them one bright day. He arrang cd picnic to be held at a place about four miles from the workhouse, on a railroad so that they could have the novelty of q ride. That picnic vas 9 thing long to be remembered in north Wales. People attended from near and far, from Wales and the western Eng fish counties, mostly to see the explor- CT, who, not content with defraying tho | expenses of the outing, personally a. rected and conducted the affair.
 The ignoble birth of Stanley has
 been forgotten, or at least it was not remembered as a reprcach. The man
 whom all England delighted to hosor was not without honor in h.s own ooun- try.
 The Hollands were very poor ct that time. They rad moved from the plac2 of the birsl of Stanley to a small place called Cefn Meiriadog. His mother had become the keeper of an inn at the gates of the Bodelwydd5n estate near
 the town and school of the same name.
 It has been complained by those who sought to interview the great explorer | concerning his carly life that he would not speak of it. ThaA is not suriris- | ing, but if he had spoken of it and l. had been made a part of his Biography it would have been lost sight of in the
 multitude of his achievements. The history of him that the woil1 knows begins when l:c was fifteen years
 old, when he arrived Q. New Orleans as
 a cabin boy and took service with the | family of a merchant named Stanl ".
 That was about a year after he had | left St Asaph's.

THE MARKET PRICE OF HERoIsM

MT. Carnegie is the first man to go searching for heroism in the market place in order to pay for it in dollars and cents No doubt many lots of the queer commodity will be offered to him as soon as he shows his money. There is already all over. the country loud applause of his generosity.
 Still, there are difficulties before hin. Who is to set the market price on the deeds of these cash-seeking heroes? MT. Carnegie, too, has bought so many things with his money that it | does not occur to him that some men may object to being paid for thei:' heroism. We hear of one Chicago ro- liceman wto is making out lis bill fer lives rescued from the Iroquois thea ter. He calculates that a good round sIm is due him fer saving two college boys and a fat broker. But there vas a baby that he carried out for whom he will not charge. She put her arms round my neck and laughed IS we come through that hell" he says. "I couldn't take money for her. No!'
 Then MT. Carnegie of course cannot pass by our dead heroes. He probably
 
 not these poor ghosts object when their great deeds are dragged put to be paved over in the market-place ard tagged with price in dimes and cents?
 There, for instance, was Jem Glvens, the real pilot on the burning boat who "held her nozzle agin' the shore" until the charred flesh fell from his bcdy and he dropped dead into the water.
 There was the engineer, Robert Gardner, who in an accident near Pittsburg stood for three hours hold ing the lever of his engine, his leg, crushed to jelly, slowly burning. Some body brought him liquor to keep him alive. q never touch that he said. He died a moment later.
 Or Achert, the Indian boy, who when his white partner was frozen in the Yukon hills carried him for eight days on his back, six of them without food.
 Or the Acadian priest who shut him self up for years in a. New Orleans hospital to nurse the lepers. He died there-a leDer.
 Hosts of such men have justified their right to live and have gone home to take their wages. How can MT. Carnegie put cash value OH what they have done?

A SicKening Discovery in New York
 Chimney.

New York, May 12.-The body of C. year-old Josephine McCahill, who had been missing since May End, was found tonight in a chimney at her home on Third avenue. The body was lodged near the top of the chimney and it was necessary to tear away part of the masonry to release it. The McCahill case had attracted much attention, the belief being that the child was kid mapped. Rewards aggregating S3,500 were offered by various parties fc- her recovery and mass meetings were held to discuss plans for conducting the search.
 An examination of the body dis closed that it was badly decomposed but that it had not been mutilated. Children of the neighbcrhood have been accustomed to hide in chimneys while at play on the roofs and the oo-

STANLEY THE EXPLORER
Hitherto Unpublished Facts of His
 Early Life.

There is a man in Phoenix who knew Sir Henry M. Stanley. the explorer, whose death occurred last Monday. He is W. w. Edwards. chief bookkeeper for the Wakelin Grocer company. MT. Edwards was born at Denbigh, Wales. near the birthplace of Stanley, which is also given in biographers of the great
