TOURS WORLD ON BICYCLE.
Unique Trip Of Young German Who
Was Anxious to See Strange
Things.
YlennalA ustrial special.


William Schwiegerhausen, a young BIZ
cyclist of Lelpsic, Germany, enjoys the
distinction OF having taken the longest
wheeling trip on record. On June 10.
1899, the young German, in company
with two youthful countrymen, left Leip-
sic to wheel around the world. One OF
the three was taken seriously i'll In the
Holy Land and was forced toreturn, and
the other was murdered by band OF Be-
douins in Arabia. Young Schwieger-
hansen was severely injured at the same
time, but managed to continue his jour-
ney.
Schwiegerhausen secures the auto
graphs OF the mayors OF all the cities
through which he passes. and his coliec-
ton OF autographs and accompanying
sentiments is very interesting. He is
only 26 years old, but speaks, besides his
native language. French, English. Span
fish, Armany and Persian. He has had

ENGLISH BARD WAS RIGHT
Why Shakespeare Located Scenes of
Hamlet at Elsinore Instead
of at Jutland.

Dramatic critics and commentators
have long been puzzled to account for
the fact that Shakespeare placed the
scene OF Hamlet" at Elsinore, in the
Island OF Zealand, whereas the Danish
prince lived and died in Jutland But
just recently the municipal authorities
at Elsinore, or Helsingor, have discov-
cred in their archives that an English
company was acting in their town In
1887 or or 1888, and among the names OF
the actors are several of those who were
acting with Shakespeare in London In
1889
Obviously these actors must have
talked about their adventures in Den
mark, and so Shakespeare became well
acquainted with Elsinore. and, when he
wrote Hamlet" naturally placed the
scenein aplace which he knew by descrip-
ton rather than in an island OF which he
knew nothing. The poet was no great
stickler for accuracy in geographical
matters and this visit Of the English &C.
tors plausibly explains the reason why
the tragedy OF Hamlet was placed In
Zealand and not in JutlaDd.

EVANS WILL RETIRE.
FAMOUS ADMIRAL THINKS OF
LEAVING NAVAL SERVICE.
How He Stopped the Doctors from Cut.
ting Oh the Leg Which Is Now
Bothering Him-A Story
Of Rare Pluck.
wa.hlngton 1p- Cd speelaI.

Robley ID. Evans was born ID 1916, in
Virginia. He was appointed to the naval
academy in September, 1860.
At the end of three years he left the
academy before having been graduated
and was ordered to duty with the squad
rons operating along the southern
coast.
Among other fights, Evans figured In
both attacks on Fort Fisher. In the last
battle he received two severe wounds,
and was relegated to the hospital. The
surgeons examined his leg. 1T will
have to be amputated," they said.
That didn't suit young Evans. He
concluded that he still had some use for
that leg. and determined to assert bis
proprietary rights. Through some
means or other he secured big navy
pistol. and when the surgeons came
back with their instruments he was
ready for them. One hand was hanging
down behind his cot.
What are you going to do?" he asked
"I'm afraid we shall have to amputate
your leg" replied the chief surgeon,
reaching for his instrum ents.
Like fash young Evans right arm
came into view, and sawbones found
himself gazing into the muzzle of an
ugly-looiing pistol.
Drop that knife, d you'll" ex-
claimed the patient.
The order was obeyed.
Nov. | lust want a word with YOU
fellows" continued young Evans. THAT
leg doesn't come of. Do you under
stand? The first one OF you who makes
move to take II off will get load of
lead" afN
And he carried the day. The leg
didn't come of. 1t knit rapidly, and the
wounds healed under proper treatment.
He carries limp to this day, but he
saved his leg. and that's the main
thing.
1t is this same leg which is now
troubling Fighting Bob" and that yill
probably cause him to retire from active
sea service, IL not from the navy. 1t is
suggested at the navy department at
Washington that he may be assigned to
duty as member of the lighthouse
board He would retire for age in 1908.
Evans married the sister of his chum,
Harry Taylor. She was the sweetheart
of his boyhood days Maybe he was
thinking of her when he saved his leg

children. The eldest. Charlotte, was

MUSIC DECIDES A SUIT.
Berlin Judge Calls Famous Musician
as Expert Witness to Prove
Value of a Violin.

On one occasion, some time ago, all
who were present in the court OF justice
at Berlin had the great pleasure of is
tening 10 q free performance by Prof.
Joachim, the famous violinist. 1t ap-
peared from the evidence that a dealer
in musical instruments war charged
with cheating a customer by represent
ing that a violin which he offered for
sale at $l.25 was an instrument thai
could be played.
The great professor was called in az
an expert witness. and, taking up the i'm
pugned instrument, he proceeded to play
upon 1t. Under his magic fingers 1t
really sounded like violin, but In fe
minutes, much 10 the regret OF his lis
teners, the maestro laid the instrument
down with an evident air OF contempt
But be had secured the aceused's ac-
quittal.
The great tenor Mario once had TO
give q free exhibition OF bis magnifi-
cent vocal powers in court, in order TO
gain freedom for himself. He had been
arrested in Madrid, in mistak for mis-
chievous political agitator, and in vain
proclaimed his identity to the powers
that be. Finally. he was told that If he
really was the famous singer. his voice
was certain means of convincing the
court OF the truth of his claim. For
seven or eight minutes Mario held all
within hearing spellbound. and he was
then allowed to take his departure with
profuse apologies for his arrest and de.

Frank, the only son, was graduated from

Their cottage at Fortress Monroe was
built when Capt. Evans was on duty with
the lighthouse board. 1t was constructed
by permission OF the treasury depart
ment on the reservation controlled by
that department as buoy and light sta

Guilty with the gentleman who was sec
rotary of the navy at the time. The lat
ter, in order to crafty his personal feel
ing in the matter, induced the treasury
department to direct the removal of the
house.
This aroused the fighting blood OF
Capt Evans, and, moreover, his suspi-
cions were aroused as to whether the
cottage came within the scope of the
department. He requested survey and
found that his suspicious were correct.
Greatly to his delight he discovered that
the house was in the army reserva-
ton.
His relations with that department
were most cordial, and the outcome OF
II all was that the cottage was permitted
to remain where 1t was subject to the
conditions imposed upon all buildings
on government land outside the FORTH
cations. which are in effect that it shall
remain until the war department sees
fit to order its removal. And ii is there
that Mrs Evans lives. the idol of all the
boys at Fortress Monroe.

ONLY WOMEN LIVE THERE.
Unknown Island in the Caribbean Sea
Said to Be Peopled by the
Fair Sex.

An Adamless Eden is said TO exist
somewhere in the Caribbean sea, but
gust where it is located no one is able
90 tell. There is an old legend in the
West Indies which has been handed
hown from the time OF Columbus to the
@ffect that somewhere among the nu-
merous cages OF the Caribbean sea there
sxists an island Inhabited only by
women.
The aboriginal Caribs and ARRIVALS
aound Ii inconvenient to have women
around in times OF war. Usually when
6he enemy conquered number OF the
tribes fairest maiden were carried of.
so goes the story.
The deplorable possibility OF losing all
the women of the tribe was averted,
however, by the prompt action OF the
chiefs, who ordered all OF the remain
Ing female element to this unknown Is"
land in the Caribbean. According TO the
legend the place is copiously watered by
ideal streams, overshadowed by bread
fruit, mango, plantain and all the neces-
saries to life and poetry. The husbands
and lovers were allowed to visit the 10
land paradise not more than twice ayear
In times OF peace.
But 1t is further handed down that
al the men OF the tribe were eventually
wiped out in an Indian war and that all
trace OF the isle OF women was lost. Ac'
Oording to Washington Irving, even
Columbus made vain efforts to find 1t.

before and since the murder of Gerhard.
Mr. Brooks made the statement yester
day that he did not believe that the
dope fiend is the murderer.
A man giving the name of Malcolm
Carnes, who has been working in and
about Minneapolis for month or more,
was arrested yesterday afternoon on the
charge of forgery. The police suspect
that he may be the man wanted in con-
nection with the New Ulm tragedy.
Carnes, it is said, left his work at
Columbia Heights and was absent sever
ell days about the time of the New Ulm
tragedy When he left he wore black
ocercoat, and when he returned he
had on light colored one. The police at
the time were suspicious of him land ar
rested him on the theory that he stole
the second overcoat They could not
prove the charge, and the judge let Car
mes go upon the understanding that he
would leave town within twenty four
hours. He got no farther than Column
bia Heights.
He was arrested yesterday afternoon
on a charge of forgery, and when ques-
toned by the police admitted that he
was a dentist. The man wanted in New
Ulm said he had been dentist. Sheriff
julius of Brown county and Chief of Po-
lice Klause of New Ulm were in Min
neapolis last night and both say that the
prisoner answers the description of the
mysterious stranger wanted in their
city, with the exception that he is full
in the face, whereas the suspect is said
to be extremely thin in the face.
The man who said that he saw the
suspect, who was at New Ulm few
days prior to the murder, was expected
to arrive in the Mill City today.
The Minneapolis police do not believe
that this man is the murderer.
New Ulm, Mimi, Nov. l4.-Sheriff w.
j. Julius and A. p. Brooks left yester-
day afternoon on the trail of third
cocaine fiend held in Osceola, Wis.,, on
suspicion of being the murderer of DR..
Gebhard.\ The man will be taken into
the presence of Mr.. Brooks, and the
man who witnessed the last part of the
murder will try to determine whether
the suspect resembles the murderer he
saw.
The name of an Albert Lea man is
given by the man held at Osceola but the
sheriff at Albert Lea says that although
there is man by that name living
there, he is still in that city.
1t is not known whether the arrested
man is the one seen at Ortonville and
Montevideo and lost in the Twin Cities.

LEaIENED BREAD
Has Been Mans Constant Mainstay
From Time ImmemOrial.

From Time Immemorial.
Some writer has said that ''The first miller
emerging from his savage state, with no
thought save hunger, plucked the wheat
from the stock, and, using his teeth for mill
stones, ground the first grist for customer
who would not be denied-his stomach"
Thus gaining experience by test in the food
line, it would be only natural for this miller
to lay up quantity of grain against an hour
of need. Just when he commenced grinding
his wheat in the rude stone mortar and
moistening the flour preparatory to baking
it in the ashes of his camp fire, and just
when it was found that an old piece of dough
in a fresh batch made it better or '1eavened"
il, is beyond tho reach of historians. Ger
tain it is that though the principle was the
same thousands of years ago as it. is to-day,
it has remained for the makers of Yeast
Foam to supply yeast with all the true
leayening powers minus the properties that
produce sour, "runny" or soggy bread. This
is the yeast that took the first grand prize
at the st. Louis Exposition, and revolution.
ICES the bread making in every home where
it is used because much better bread can be
made with it from any flour.
Yeast Foam is purely vegetable, being
made of the best malt, corn, hops and other
healthful ingredients. The factory is also
the cleanest and best equipped in the world.
This yeast is the only kind that preserves
in the bread all the delicious flavor and
nutritive value of the wheat. The bread
made with it is always sweet and wholesome
and stays moist until used. Forty loaves of
bread can be made from one sc package.
The makers of Yeast Foam are giving out
new book called GOOD Bread How to
Make It." This little book, invaluable in
its way, has twenty-six illustrations in colors,
and tells how to make all kinds of bread,
biscuits, buns and rolls, as well as contain.
ing other recipes which will be found in.
valuable in the home. The way of prepar-
ing the different recipes is very clear and
comprehensive. The book will be sent free
to any one sending their name and address,
with request for same, to the Northwestern
Yeast Company, Chicago, Ill. Every wo.
man who bakes should secure q copy.
