SEES FACE; FINDS DEAD MAN
Odd Incident Which Focetold Trag-
edy Occurs on Railway Train
in England.

London.-While travelling in a train
from lower Edmonton on the Great
Eastern railway, woman named Mag
gle Murphy suddenly up and exclaimed
to her companion, commercial travel
er named Mason, that she had seen face
at the window.
A few minutes later she saw the face
again. so Mason opened the window and
looked out, but could see no one. A lit-
tie later the train pulled up at Seven Sis
ters station, and the door of carriage
was found to be open
Investigation resulted in the finding
on the line of the dead body of Ernest
Sarsons, a butcher.
At the inquest it was stated that Sar-
sons had apparently said good-by to
Mason and the woman on the platform
at lower Edmonton. They had all had
drinks together, and Sarsons was under
the influence of liquor. The coroner's
theory was that Sarsons got on to the
footboard of the moving train to peep
into the carriage, and so met his death.
A verdict to this effect was returned.

New York.-Two young Canadians,
David Dunlap and Noah Timmons, both
OF Mattawa, Ont, registered here re-
Gently. They brought little personal
baggage, but did bring two freight cars
which they had sidetracked in Jersey
City. Forty full tons of rock was in
these cars. 1t had been mined by Dun
lop and Timmins in northern Ontario,
between Lakes Temiscamingue and
Temagamie within month.
When the two Canadians left for
home they had sold the rock to the
Ladue chemical and reduction works
for $4,000. They had struck silver
and nickel mine, which promises to
prove one of the richest in the world.
They have obtained complete ownership
Of the property, and declare they would
not sell out for S., 600, 900 each.
The territory in which the mine is To-
Gated is little known except to hunters.

The eccentricities of the late sheriff
are the subject of inquiry in will suit.
The amount of property in dispute is
&8O,0OO, and the will is sought to be set
aside on the ground that the testator
was of weak intellect.
Alfred Patrick MacThomas Thoms, a
writer to the Signet, and one OF the
plaintiffs, said the sheriff, who was his
uncle, was very kind hearted and eccen-
trio. The witness little brothers and
sisters used to call him the funny man,
as he always said such odd things.
Although the sheriff had $4,000 a
year, he had the delusion that he was a
poor man, stating to the witness that he
could not keep horse and carriage or go
to the country for his holiday The
sheriff came to believe that he was real
ly poor.

FAMOUS OLD INN DOOMED.
Fell House, Where Anthracite Coal
Was First Burned, Victim of
Modernization.

Wilkesbarre, Pa.-The old Fell house.
where anthracite coal was first burned
in CRATE, and where it's progress as a
marketable commodity began, is to be
destroyed and remodeled until all out
ward semblance to the famous tavern
has disappeared.
In the heart of the big new building
which is to take it's place there will be
preserved the old-fashioned, low-ceil-
experiment took place, and the Identical
crate and fireplace where anthracite coal
first burned
This room is to be tightly boxed in
during the changes in other parts of the
building and it is the expectation to pre-
serve it without injury or change.
The experiment in the old crate spe-
cially built for the purpose by Judge
Jesse Fell, then one of the leading men
in the community, took place on Feb
ruary II, 1908, almost 100 years ago. He
had written in letters to relatives de-
scribing the achievement, and for some
time had contended that if properly ig-
nited the ''stone coal," as it was then
called, would burn, but his friends
laughed at him. Nevertheless he stud
led the problem until he decided that it
was necessary to have draught to keep
it going.
He then had the CRATE built of ten
inch bars, forming the front and bottom
of box that he set in brick, and in this
be placed the stone coal, lighting it from
below by means of splinters of wood and
keeping up such a draught with a bel
lows that the coal soon glowed red hot.
He found, too, that when red hot it
quickly ignited other coal placed upon
it, and, proud of his success, he told his
neighbOrs.

discharge their cargoes.
Seventy-tWo days were occupied by
the Atlas in bringing the barge from
New York. In the North Atlantic,
not long after putting to sea, the six
inch steel cable used as tow line
parted, but another was substituted
within an hour, and from that time
until both vessels dropped anchor
within the Golden Gate no trouble was
experienced.
The entire distance traversed was
13,O9O miles, and for the last 10000
miles of the distance the same big
six-inch steel cable held fast. Tow
ing machines were used on both the
Atlas and her barge, by means of
which all slack in the tow line was
taken up automatically, thus prevent
ing unnecessary Stacking of the line
and consequent parting of the cable
The worst weather during the whole
trip was in the Straits Of Magellan
where for three days thick and foggy
weather was experienced. Outside
Cape Pillar, in the Pacific, more rough
weather was run into, but the Atlas
and her tow met with no serious trou-
BILE. Not a single vessel was sighted
after leaving the straits, and the Atlas
and her tow were not even in COM
munication with each other.
The Atlas is tank steamer, and left
New York with $4,000 barrels of fuel
oil in her hold. All but 5000 barrels
Of this cargo was used for fuel on the
way. The barge left New York with
$1,000 barrels, or 1.255,OOO gallons Of
naphtha, in addition to several thou
sand barrels of fuel oil that was con-
sumed on the way in operating her
steam steering gear and winches
with which sae is Iynvided.

 There was half an hour of this sort of greeting. all personal, and then the party sat down to dinner. It was a camp dinner. cooked in camp ovens and served with camp dishes. There were a pot roast of beef, corn, peas, potatoes, bread and butter and coffee.
 The President fell to with an appe- tite that apparently was voracious. He had two helpings of beef. and ate so much bread and butter that Secretary Loeb was obliged to replenish the plate three times.

Emphasizing one of his points with a magnificent gesture, the Jealous peer brought his clenched fist down hard on the royal hat, bonneting his future ruler effectively. It was characteristic of the Earl that he did not allow the untoward incident to disturb the thread of his discourse, postponing his apologies to a more convenient sea- son. But his royal highness displayed a great agility in getting out of range.

He Is a prophet of woe-a modern Jeremiah whose voice is filled with lamenta- lions. He believes consclentiously that England is following in the footsteps of Rome and hastening to the "demni- ton bow-wows" Ever since he en- tered public life-and that was long before most of those now conspicuous in 1t were born-he has preached a doctrine of national pessimism.
 He has the courage of his convic- tions at all times and Is never bothered by considerations of consistency. He has proclaimed both communism and individualism.

Prisoner Proves Up Land.

Sheriff Nelson of Green County has taken to the Kansas penitentary John F. Yates, a farmer, for the murder of William Hughes, wealthy cattleman, last July.
 Yates was sentenced to three years in the penitentiary in the District Court at Mangum three weeks ago, says the Kansas City Journal, but was allowed to prove up his homestead and provide for his family so they could live in comfort during the three years he is in the penitentiary.
 Last Saturday night Yates went to Sheriff Nelson and said he was ready to begin his sentence. He was nok manacled as he rode on the train on the way to Lansing, Kan, but sat in the seat with the Sheriff as any other citizen might
 The killing of Hughes was the re- suit of an old free-range quarrel out in the new country. Yates was arrest ed and placed in jail. His bond was fixed at S2O,OO0, the judge thinking that amount would be more than would be raised in the county.
 Yates was released on bond, how ever, before the end of the week. A group of farmers who were his friends qualified for more than twice that amount.
 Judge Irwin announced the sentence, and asked Yates if he had anything to say. Yates said the sentence was just and that he would serve 1t
 He said, however, he lacked a short time of having proved up his home stead, and asked to be with his family two weeks longer. Judge Irwin grant ed the request.

Tt Is rather curious that within the last three years" says the Critic, there should have been written three novels with Lord Byron as the hero. Miss Halle Erminle Rives, with her book, "The Castaway," was the first In the field of publications; but there was another in manuscript called The Maid of Athens" by Miss Lafayette McLaws, which I believe Is not yet published. Now comes Mrs. Humphry Ward with Lord Byron as her hero, and there Is still another soon to be published. It is usually the way.

When Flowed Under Green, It Is an
 Excellent Fertilizer.
 A bulletin from the central expert ment farm, Ottawa, Ont, contains a discussion of the profitableness of growing and turning of clover crops. Extensive experiments in this line have been carried on at that farm for a period of over eight years, and the results gathered therefrom contain a considerable amount of practical in- formation and data. The advantages derived from blowing under clover are briefly stated by the station as fol- lows:
 l. There is an enrichment of the soil by the addition of nitrogen obtained from the atmosphere.
 2. There is an increase in the store of available mineral plant food, phos- phoric acid, potash and lime ill the surface of the soil taken by the clover in part from depths not reached by the shallower root systems of other farm crops.
 8. There Is a large addition of humus, whereby the soil is made more retentive of moisture, warmer and better aerated, conditions favorable to vigorous crop growth. Humus also furnishes the material best adapted for the development of these forms of germ life that act so benefcially in the soil.
 4. AS an agent for deepening and mellow1ng soils no crop gives such sat isfactory results as clover.
 5. Clover serves a useful purpose as catch crop during the autumn months, when the ground would be otherwise bare, retaining fertilizing material brought down by the rain, and also that formed in the soil dur ing the summer months, much of which would otherwise be lost through the teaching action ofrains.
 6. As shown exclusively by the particulars obtained by careful experi- ments over a number of years with the more important farm crops the plow- ing under of green clover has a most marked effect in increasing the soils productiveness.

INDIAN TREATMENT OF SICK.
Expectations Ceremony that Is Often
 Last Resort.

SupersttttOus ceremony that Is oIIen
 Last Resort.
 The trial in the federal court of Louis Brown, charged with the mur- der of Walter Richardson and Moses Pettgrew, brought to light an Indian superstition that was new to many people. Several years ago, when the famous Solomon Hotem witch killing case was tried in the same court, there was considerable evidence to show the belief of the Indians in witchcraft, and the testimony in the Brown case re- yeals an equally weird story.
 One of the witnesses testified that the homicide for which Brown was tried occurred at ''pachofsha." In of the word 1t was explained that pachofsha is a feast and part of the incantaton and superstldous cere- mony conducted over the sick by the lower class of ignorant Indians.
 When a man Is thought to be sick enough to require the services of doctor he is put into hut, and for three days no one except tho doctor sees him. The doctor goes into the woods and gathers herbs, from which he prepares a potion for the sick man and then keeps a lonely vigil with him. At the end of the third day, if the pa- tent is not improved, the order is given to prepare a pachofsha. Cora and meat, either beef, pork or game, are put in a large kettle and stewed until the corn is soft.
 All the relatives of the sick man are entitled to attend, and they gather around the kettle for the feast. The sick man is brought out and served first. He is fed as much as his stom- ach can hold, and the others then turn in and deyour the remainder of the stew. When this is concluded bon. fire is built and lighted, the crowd cir cles around and dances to the time of a weird chant. After this, if the sick man does not show signs of getting better, nothing more is done for him, and he dies or gets well by act of Providence.-Oklaho Times-Journal.
