May Allow Boards to Grow.

1t is understood that the Pope is
about to issue a regulation whereby all
Roman Catholic bishops and priests who
so desire may alloS their boards to
grow. When Italian priests go on a
pilgrimage to the Holy Land they let
their boards grow, so as not to excite the
ridicule of the Orientals. Recently a
party of Venetian priests who had just
returned from a pilgrimage to Jerusa-
lem, and wore long boards, had an audi
ence with the Pope. At the sight OF so
much hair Plus X. exclaimed "What
fne di.play Of boards !" and as the
priests stood around him ha said: "Once
upon a time knew a priest who hated
to be obliged to shave himself every day,
and more than once | have heard that
same priest say: IF ever | become

priest to allow his beard to grow Who

company the Pope saw priest from
Treviso. do you also wish to return
to your Pensioners with that long
beard2' asked his holiness. "NO, holy
father; intend to shave it off today, "
said the priest. "Quite right" replied
the Pope, "quite right. 1t doesn't suit
you at all. You look-very ugly in it
and refuse you permission to wear it..

Toronto, Ont June 2.-The Rev. j.
F. Cordova and Julia Browne, who elopad
from South River, N. j., have been
stopping at hotel in this city for a few
days, but they left yesterday. They
were recognized by newspaper man and
a publication of the fact was sufficient to
frighten them to other fields. f. j..
Carhart, who lived in New Brunswick,
n. j., for years and was an intimate
friend of the Browne family, had been
making inquiries here regarding them,
but was informed by the inspector Of

The proceedings of the Nebraska dem
ocratic convention at Omaha yesterday
furnish proof conclusive that Mr.. w. j..
BRYAN has no intention of relinguishing
the Kansas City platform, but that he
will carry it to St. Louis. His proce-
dure in the national convention, in case
that platform is not reaffirmed, is still
causing speculation and in some quarters
more than curiosity. Mr.. Bryan has
been selected TO head the Nebraska dele
CATION and the convention yesterday
adopted a platform which reaffrms
the Kansas City platform of 1900 and
places before the public Mr.. Bryan's
views of what should be embodied in the
platform of the coming national conven-
ton. Mr.. Bryan was himself chairman
of the com mittee on resolutions and
wrote the platform. One delegate at
tempted to secure the adoption of an
additional plank pledging Nebraska
democracy to support the nominees OF
the st. Louis convention, regardless oil
whom they might be. He was ruled
out of order, however, after reading his
resolution.

Perils of High Water.

While returning from the Blue Ridge
Hunt Club meeting at Wildwood, Clarke
county, Tuesday night, through ter
rife rain storm, John Harmer, of Win
chester, was caught in the OpequOn and
narrowly escaped drowning. He suffered

around and around by the swift current,
and was rescued by farmers in an ex-
hausted condition. The team was also

Charged with Murder.

Five men--George, Charles, Raymond
and Hunter Carver, brothers, and Edgar
Carter-were arrested near Winchester
Yesterday afternoon in connection with
the disappearance of the Carvers' cousin,
Ashby Pugh, who is believed to have
been murdered. George and Charles
Carver were committed to jail without
bail, and the others were released on
$500 bond each. The case is an unusual
one, and has caused great excitement
in Frederick county. On Monday morn
ing Pugh, it is charged, was severely
beaten and kicked by the Carvers and
Carter in the road near Abrams creek.
George Carter admits having had fight
with Pugh, but the others say they were
merely lookerson. Pugh, according to
the men, went to the creek to wash the
blood from his face, and has not been
seen since. When attacked Pugh was
on his way to Winchester TO accept a
position. He never reached there, and
although searchers have secured the sur
rounding country and dragged the
streams, no trace of the missing man has
been found. A wagon was seen near the
scene of the alleged crime the night fol-
lowing the fight and it is the general
impression that Pugh's body was hauled
away in the vehicle and disposed of.

MYsterions Murder.

Burlington, VT, June 1.-The SOL
diers stationed at Fort Ethan Allen are
panic stricken by three mysterious muir
ders that have been committed on men
in the ranks and fourth savage attack
upon an infantryman who is dying from
his wounds. All the details of the muir
ders are being kept secret by the officers,
who even refuse to make public the
names of the victims. General Corbin
is expected at the fort to take personal
charge Of the inquiry. 1t is believed by
the residents of the neighbOrhOOd that
homicidal maniac is at large in the dis
trict. The belief prevails in some quar-
tiers that as all the murderer's victims
have been soldiers, the man who commit
ted the crimes, is deserter from the
army who has become insane.

New York Stock Market.

New York, June 2, IL a. m.-The
stock market this morning was extreme
Iy dull and presented the same profess
sional aspect as marked it for some time.
Fluctuations were extremely narrow and
there were none of the developments of
extreme weakness in the first hour which
were noted yesterday. Firmness was
especially indicated in St. Paul, Atchi-
son, Erie common and first preferred b.
& o. and the coal stocks. Amalgamated
steel preferred, sugar and realty issues
were the firm features of the industrial
list. Indications are for another dull
and dragging speculation.

Besieged in Her House.

New York, June g. The meshes of
the law are being slowly drawn about
Hanna Elias, the notorious negress, ac-
cused by John r. Plat, the aged mil
lionaire, of having blackmailed him cut
of 800, 900. Deputy Sheriff Walgor-
ing, with his assistants, armed with a
civil warrant for the arrest of the Elias
woman, issued by Justice Dugro, of the
Supreme Court, are holding the Elias
house, at 236 Central Park West, in a
state of siege today. Detectives are
posted on every corner. The woman is
endeavoring to raise $50, 900 cash bail,
which will be required to keep her out
of Ludlow street Jail. In case she is
unable to raise such a sum she will con-
tinue TO defy the court and remain in
her home where she can evade arrest,
as a civil warrant does not give author
ity to break down doors and make ar
rests by force. The district attorneys
Office is collecting all possible evidence
against the Elias woman with view OF
bringing criminal charges against her.
Counsel for Plat are eager for criminal
proceedings and will give the district at
torney all the evidence in their posses
sion.

FEELING that he may need the state
electoral vote badly, President Roose'
welt is trying to bring about truce be-
tween the LaFollette faction and the
Spooner-Quarles faction in Wisconsin,
The President has no hope of recon
cling the two factions to agree on on'
delegation to the national convention
hut he is very anxious that both fac
tons shall support the Roosevelt cleo
tors. The same electoral ticket was
nominated by both conventions, but I'M
der the Wisconsin law a man named by
two political parties appears only on the
ticket of the party with which he elects
to run. Most of the electors have de-
clared their intention of running with
the LaFollette ticket and, therefore, an
ti-LaFollette people will all have to
mark their ballots if they want to make
sure of voting for President Roosevelt.
That is what is worrying the President.
He realizes that there is big anti-La-
Toilette following and he fears that only
a small percentage of the voters will
mark their ballots with the names of
the electors. Unless majority of them
do mark their ballots, the democrats
will carry the electoral ticket, even
should the anti-LaFollette people carry
the State.

No Surplus.

For the first time in five years the
government will be confronted by a
deficit at the close OF the present fiscal
year, which will end on June 80 next.
Secretary Shaw, in his annual report to
Congress last December, declared his
belief that there would be surplus OF
$l4, 900, 600 in the Treasury at the end
of the present year. The fiscal experts
of the Governor hesitate about making
statements for publication, but privately
admit that the Secretary shot wide OF
the mark. The deficit will be due to
decreased Federal receipts, increased
Government expenditures, especially for
the military establishment the $50, :
900, 900 payment on the purchase OF the
Panama canal property and the appro-
prlation of 81, 600, 600 for the st. Louis
Exposition. For IL months of the
present year the total receipts of the
Government have been $493, 300, $50
and the total expenditures $545, 265, 368,
or a deficit of SOL. 800, 1873 for the II
months of the present fiscal year.
