THE attack on Prince Melnikoffs life lifted him

There Is nothing strange in this. Any woman
likes 10 see a man courageous, undaunted IN the
face Of death. especially when he escapes.
Had the Russian shared the fate of his horse, the
qirl would have been shocked inexpressibly. The
memory of his tIne appearance and polished manners

that occasion. That such a cool, self-possessed

Her ingenious candor delighted him.

CERTAIN CURE FOR CANCER.

New York, April 19-Experi-
ments now under way at the Flower
Hospital, in this city, are reported
to indicate the discovery of an al
most certain cure for cancer. 1t
consists of new method fer the
application Of radium.
A chemist of this city claims to
have succeeded in dissolving rad
INN, and that the resulting SOU
tion exerted all the activity of the
pure radium. Surgeons and
physicians Of the Flower hospital
staff decided to give the solution a
trial and selected woman S2 years
of age, who was dying from a can
Ger on the instep of her left foot.
Two weeks ago she received her
first treatment. Six days later,
the doctors say, tie cancer dropped
off and showed healthy flesh be-
meath. Nothing remained bnt to
heal the tissue, which was finally
accomplished, although the treat
ment Is
morrow another experiment will
be undertaken.

PAUL JONES BODY.

| Now that it has been determined
I that ihe recently discovered body
,of john Panl Jones, the naval hero
of the Revolutionary War, and the
acknowledged father Of the. Ameri-
can Navy, shall be brought to this
country in battleship for final
burial, there is the usual eompeti-
ton for the honor Of being the
place of landing Of the remains. 1t
would be well if the Government
would completely ignore all such
claims and have the body arrive at
the port most convenient to the
place selected for the final resting
place of the great sea fighters re-
mains
AS for the point selected for final
burial, ii goes without saying that
none but location over which tine
General Government has complete
control should be considered for a
moment. Arlington National
Cemetery woud be "a fitting place,
as wonld alsc the Naval Academy
at Annapolis, in the new chapel,
for Instance. or some other public
institution intimately associated
with the naval service. 1t is, of
course, assumed that the National
Government will eventually mark
the grave with n snitahle niohu-
menl
That .Iehu Paul Jones should
have been permitted to 80 unre.
wa;dyd for his great services io the
co,Niry and allowed 10 die in pov-
.efty in Paris is all the more reason
why tie country. p1W great a.ii

KING ALFONSO'S FRANKS.

.! Madrid. April 16.-The recent
. peculiar behavior of King Alfonso
has greatly alarmed court circles
and Government officials here.
His conduct has been so bizarre on
| several occasions as to cause Sefi-
ous doubts as to his fitness to be
head OF the State. Only a few
weeks noa when he had made an
appointment with Siguor Viilaver-
de TO consider the names of the
members OF the new Cabinet the
boy King insisted upon organizing
a shooting party, TINS delaying the
formation OF the new ministry for
twenty four hours.
King Alfonso last week invited
about $50 officers of cavalry aud
artillery to hunt on the grounds
of the royal villa pardo, which are
considered very dangerous on ac-
count Of their formation. After
few hours spent in the forest the
King dared the officers to Il race,
with the result that four of them,
whose horses had stumbled, fell
and sustained serions injuries.
1t WAS only a few days ago that
the boy King observed on the wall
of Il corridor adjoining his private
apartment an electric button COW
cred hy ii glass case On asking u
sentry about the new Instrument
he was Informed that the button
was placed there as an emergency
call for t IL SentrieS, and as it was
not to be pushed excepting in eases
OF emergency, it had been inclosed
in Il giass box like II fire alarmel
immediately the boy King SMASHED
the glass with his bare FIST. and to
his utter anazement saw the halls !
OF the palace invaded by officers
and soldiers who. had rushed to |
arms as they heard the alarm sig
nal 1t took some time to convince |
them all that the alarm had been |
sounded only because of prank of !
the young King The King known |
recent attempt to enter his moth
er's apartment on horseback nearly |
cost him his l.fe, for his horse,
frightened by the reflection of his |
own image in large mirror, at
tempted to jump down the wall of !
the royal stairs. His mother is
continually alarmed by these and
other reckless adventures Of her
sou, and has issued, strict orders to
her personal attendants never to
lose sight of the yonng King even
for a minute.

FRANK AND REASONABLE.

The Southern Pacific purposes to
at once build from Lafayette TO the
river opposite Baton Rouge, the
sole provise being that the right of
way be donated. General Agent
Lee is quoted by today's Picayune
thus:
i" 1t has been found by Mr.. Fay
and the others making the inspec-
ton that the line would be very
costly one to build, said General
Agent Lee. 1T penetrates fine
country, one that is rich and should
be opened up, but the land is low
and swampy, and it will necessitate
a large amount of grading, trest-
ling and bridging. The Southern
Pacific is in this position: If the
people have enough interest to turn
over the right of way, without com
! pelling the company to buy 1t and
go into court and all that, the line
will be constructed at once. But
| it is not going to purchase the right
to build. That's the situation +"
Mr.. Lees statement is direct and
uneauivocal 1t is not demand,
but categorical statement of the
conditions under which Baton
Rouge and Lafayette may get direct
railroad connection at the earliest
practical moment.
Both cities sl---. Tss alnt and
seperate effort, .s.s.ss the railroad to
get the right'of way on its terms.

much as he will receive in added
