Loses His Life on a Dare.

A dispatch from Pittsburg says:

reporter and Philippine army veteran.
jumped from the 9th street bridge over the
Allegheny river at o'clock Sunday morn
ing on a dare, and his body has not been
recovered.
With George Hart, a 10th veteran, Dan

One of the party said that he would dare
any of the others to jump of the bridge.
Kicking off his shoes and pulling of his
coat, ODonnell exclaimed: Here goes!'
and plunged over the railing to the water
seventy-f five feet below. He cried twice for
help after striking the water. Skiffs were
procured, but he had disappeared.

WILL STAY IN JAIL.
Mrs. Chadwick'S Lawyers Deem
1t Not Advisable to Get Bail.
Should She Be Held For the Federal
Grand Jury One of the Greatest
Legal Battles in Years
Will Follow

New York. Dec. 9.-Mrs. Cassie L..
Chadwick Thursday night occupied
one of the scantily furnished cells in
the TOmbS. After a fruitless search
all day for $4,000 BAIL her attorneys
gave up the fight Thursday night, and
Philip Carpenter, her chief counsel,
stood in the corridor of the Federal
building at o'clock when United
States Marshal Henkel threw open the
double doors of his Office and led the
woman out on the way to prison
To add to her cup of woe, it was
learned Thursday night that a charge
of forgery would very likely be made
against the woman in Ohio based on
the Carnegie notes and other papers
given as securities for loans.
Cleveland, o., Dec. County Pros
ecuting Attorney Keeler received this
message, signed Andrew Carnegie, .
Thursday:
Never signed such notes. Have no
notes out. Have not issued a note in
many years. Hope you can arrange to
execute affidavit here"
San Francisco, Dec. 9.-Mrs. Alice
NJ. York, who resides at 1890 Geary
street, claims to be Mrs. Cassie L..
Chadwick's sister, and she states that
Mrs. Chadwick is identical with Nine.
Devere, who served term in the Ohio
peniteneiary for forgery. Mrs. York,
who is widow with two daughters,
came here Is months ago from Cleve-
land.
New York, Dec. 10.-After a day
full of disagreement with her counsel
as to whether she should waive exam
ination and go to Cleveland, Mrs
Chadwick finally consented to remain
another night in the Tombs, but ex-
pressed the hope that she might leave
there Saturday.
He also declined to discuss the re-
port from Cleveland to the effect that
the securities which have been held
by Iri Reynolds for Mrs Chadwick
were valueless. Mr.. Carpenter was
asked to make statement regarding
the nature of the securities in view of
the fact that the report said that while
actual value was nothing. He was al
so asked to explain the method by
which his client had induced Mr. Rey-
nolds and others to accept the alleged
worthless papers at their face value.
His only reply was, Il have absolutely
nothing whatever to say in regard to
the matter"
Cleveland, O., Dec. 10.-After hear
ing two witnesses in the Chadwick
case the grand jury adjourned Friday
afternoon until Monday morning. The
witnesses Friday were L. T. Whitney,
director, and A. B. Spear, cashier of
the Citizens National bank of Ober
lin. At the end of the hearing Prose
cutOr Keeler said the testimony gave
him jurisdiction in the alleged for
gerry case because the notes were ne
gotiated in this county. Fridays hear
ing was brief because of the non-ar-
rival of witnesses, the most impOr-
tant of which was c.. T. Beckwith,
president of the Citizens National
bank. who was unable to be present
because of illness. Prosecutor Keller
hopes that he will be able to appear
Monday. Another important witness
expected Monday is Receiver Lyon, of
the Oberlin bank.

indications it is extremely unlikely
that any attempt will be made to OBJ

The Garden of Eden.

According to the best authorities, it
was in Armenia that the garden Of
Eden" spoken Of in the book of Gene
sis was planted. Most of the evidence
In support of this theory is topograph-
zeal. The Bible says that the garden
was watered by q river running
through it which afterward divided
into four heads. The names of these
are given as Pison, Gibon, Hiddekel
and Euphrates. There is little diff
Guilty about the latter, and Hiddekel if
commonly identified with the Tigris,
both of which rivers rise in the noun
tains Of Armenia. The others are 10
Gated by assuming them to be Aras
and the Kur, streams which also rise
in the Armenian hills. In old docu-
ments Armenia is often referred to as
the "land Of the four rivers or 1.-THE
cradle of the human race" Though
Armenia does not go quite back to the
time Of Adam, the country's history is
traced to its first ruler, Haig, the great
grandson of Japheth.

Some queer Definitions.

In the Bailey dictionary of 1874 the
word ''colibus" is defined as follows:
"Colibus-a humming bird, which
makes noise like whirlwind, though
it is no bigger than fly. 1t feeds on
dew, has an admirable beauty of feath-
ers and scent as sweet as that OF
musk or ambergris.'
The same authority thus describes
the loriot, or oriole: "Loriot-a bird
that, being looked upon by one that has
yellow jaundice, cures the person and
dies ITSELF
Delpino's dictionary Q7O3 says Of
the leopard: "Lleupard, OF leopard-a
yellow beast, exceedingly swift, subtle
and fierce and Of such sweet SAVIOR
that it allures other beasts to it, by
which means they are caught and de-
voured"

women Of Mu.cle.

In the time of Louis XIV. there was
an actress engaged at the Theatre
Francais-Mlle. Gauthier-who could
break coin between the fingers of one
hand and roll a silver plate into the
form of cup of conical shape. No
one could bear the pressure of her
hand, and only Maurice de SAKE one
of the strongest men Of his time, was
able to open her closed hand.
In the same century there lived in
England woman, Miss Bette Thom9
son, who could break chains with hea
hand
Miss Kerra, a young mulatto woman,
who appeared in most Of the capitals in
Europe, was, we believe, the first to
perform the feat, while hanging with
the bend of her knees in trapeze, OF.
holding man at his belt with heS
teeth and turning him rapidly round
with her hands.

Dead Mems Food In Yucatan.

From remote times the natives of
Yucatan have been accustomed to
make offerings to the souls of the de-
parted, particularly certain pie that
they call food of the soul" The crust
must be Of yellow corn, the interior
tender chicken and small pieces Of
pork. These pies are wrapped in leaves
of the banana tree and baked under
ground between hot stones. When
done, they are placed on the graves
or hung from trees close by. Some
times, after leaving them there for an
hour or two, the living take home the
pies and enjoy them, saying that the
souls have already drawn from them
all the ethereal part of the substance.

Repudinted National pebt..

Spain, at one time by far the most
powerful Of European nations, was the
earliest power to contract a national
debt, which in 1856 only amounted to
the modest sum of FL 100000. BY 1910
it had grown to f4O,OOO,OoO under Phil
lp Ill. after whose death the whole Of
it was repudiated.
France in 1913 began to incur her
debt, chiefly through the wars of Louis
XIV. and the lavish expenditure in
building Versailles. In the later years
of Louis XVI. this amounted to f46S,-
100000, only to be repudiated on the
establishment Of the republic, when
some creditors received SO per cent
and others nothing.

The Shortest Twilight.
The period of twilight shortens to-
ward the equator and lengthens to-
ward the poles. In other words, the
less the thickness of the air through
which the rays of the setting sun have
to pass the sooner darkness comes
From this it naturally follows that the
region of the shortest twilight is the
one which is situated nearest to the
equator and at the greatest elevation.
These two conditions are combined
in the region in which stands Quito,
the capital of Ecuador. The plateau is
9,442 feet above the level of the sea. 1t
is also surrounded by mountains, TWEEN
ty peaks, eleven Of which rise beyond
the snow line, being visible from the
streets of the city. Added to this. it is
only fifteen miles south Of the equator;
hence it has a shorter twilight than
any other spot on the equator partly
because of the elevation and partly be-
cause the western mountains intercept
the rays of the setting sun and so
cause darkness to follow daylight with
greater rapidity than at any other spot
on earth.
