Forsetful DisraeIi,s Luck.

In conversation with the writer the
late Lord Rowton told the following
story: The talk had turned upon Mrs.
Bridges Willyams, the lady who left
her fortune to Lord Beaconsfield and
about whom there had just been con-
troversy in the London newspapers.
"DizZy told me the story Of that cpl
sode. He received one morning a let
ter from Mrs. Willyams, whom he did
not know, in which she said that she
had read his novels with much inter-
est, and would like to make his ac-
quaintance. She also asked question
which rendered it necessary for him to
answer the letter. Unfortunately the
letter was left in his greatcoat pocket,
and Dizzy did not wear the coat until
several months after, when he hap
pened to be in the south Of England
and in the very town in which Mrs.
Willyams lived. Coming across the
letter in such circumstances, it oc-
Cured to him to call upon her, and
Mrs. Willyams was so flattered at, as
she thought, his carrying the letter so
long about him and then calling that
she decided on leaving him her for
tune. That shows how wise it is not
to answer letters" added Lord Row.

Sunday in the bull ring at Juarez,
Mexico, by bull to which he had just
administered the death thrust
The bull fight was attended by
about 5000 persons, two-thirds Of
whom were Americans, many women
being present. 1t had been announced
that "Cuco" would kill the last bulf.
The animal was especially vicious and
gored two horses early in the fight.
When the time arrived for the death
thrust "Cuco" stepped forward ana,
when the bull advanced, drove the
sword to the heart. The bull fell.
"Cucc" turned to bow to the judges
and cheering crowd. The bull rose and
gored him through and through.
A sandstone was raging, and this
blinded "CUco" so that he could not
see the warning signals of his asso-
ciates, while the applause drowned out
the terrified cries of the other fighters
when they saw the bull about to gore
the man. Many women tainted.

ent from illness and because several
of his plays had not been accepted,
and without a cent in the world, Rob.
ert Iceland, actor and playwright, was
found dead in bed at rooming house
Is Columbia street east. Gas flowing
freely from an opened jet showed how
death had ensued 1t is thought that
the man died Thursday night, though
the remains were not discovered until
Sunday.
Great deliberation had been eXer.
cised by the suicide. The window had
been tightly shut and locked, battened
about with strips Of carpet and Sec
lions of paper The door had been
locked and the key broken off short
Then the man had turned on the gas
and laid down upon the bed to sink
into insensibility and death.
Iceland, it seems, in his youth took
a medical course at Ann Arbor, his
parents residing in Salt Lake. Before
the course was concluded the young
man was called home to inherit leg
acy of $4,000 This he went through
with in eleven months, according to
his story told to Haggerty. His father
and he were estranged from that pc
riod, some nine years ago.

wrote to Paris optician to supply him
with glass eye. The optician, fiatter-
ing himself that a successful eye would
secure for him Haitian decoration, de.

months elapsed. A small box reached
him from Haiti. A cross glittered in
his Imagination; but, to his horror,
within folds of cotton, was his original
eye, accompanied by the following
note: "Sir-The eye you forwarded to
me is of tint that resembles that of
the Spanish flag, and am too patriotic
to wear any but the color Of my coun
try" The optician proceeded at once
to the admiralty, there ascertained the
colors of the Haitian flag and then man.

of the cabin doors or press their round
noses against the tiny window 'panes.

has addressed a formal rote to the
American legation confirming It's un-
dertaking to accord equal treatment to.

tons as that granted to the most fa-
vored nation, Subject to the accom-

ing a fresh crisis, which American Dip

promptly any failure to Loyalty carry
out the arrangement.
There is some complaint in dimplo-

alleged incompleteness of the Ameri-
can settlement compared with the set
Element obtained by France on the oc
casion of the occupation of the island
of Mitylene, in 1901. American circles
however, point out that Minister Leish-
man obtained what he demanded, and

undertaking.
