Of bliss dashed to earth and his faith
in womankind seriously shaken, Fritz
schuitz returned to Metnchen, N. J.,
yesterday after a visit u the Ellis

had reason to believe his sweetheart
Sripda Luhrs, was anxi6usly awaiting
his CON ing. She vas there. he found

Her anxiety was because of the fact
than although the savings OF Fritz had
been spent for her passage money she
had arrived as Frau August Wagner,
and Herr Wagner was with her.
Fritz at once recognized in him n

SPORTING NEWS

Captain Willig went to Warrington
last night and arranged for one game
with the team representing that city.
1t will be played at Traction Park on
Sunday next. Knowing that the win
ming OF last Sundays game was more
of an accident than anything else, the
Warrington management intends to
strengthen their team as much as pos
sible and at that there seems to be
no disposition among Warrington
sports as yet to bet their money on
the outcome. willig and his men arc
determined to whip the visitors.
Here's another thing in connection
with the game scheduled with Man.
nington here Sunday. The players
are getting this game on their own
responsibility and taking chances on
bad weather. Every person in the
city, whether they attend or not,
should purchase a ticket. Take for
instance Wheeling. At the close of
the season the team played a benefit
game and had but a handful OF people
out to witness It. Then there was
hammering galore and 1t is said by
many that 1T is the principal reason
for many Of the players refusing to
sign up for next year. When they
receive such treatment the players
knock the town and cannot be blamed
either. And such things hurt a town.
Ball players are ~fraternal and inform
each other of the good and bad towns
throughout the country. Now this
game must not be considered a char
lily benefit because it is going to be
10 ball game and probably the best
ever seen in Fairmont.

The value Of newspaper publicity was
again shown in the Identification Of the
Cambridge, Mass, young woman, whose
dismembered body was found stuffed in
suit cases and thrown into waters about
Boston. The torso, first discovered, gave
no clue whatever as to the identity Of
the person killed Then the limbs were
found, and on the fingers Of the right
hand were three rings. a Boston news
paper published pictures of the three
rings, and they were at once identified
by those who, without the pictures,
would probably never have paid more
than passing attention to the case.
And the Identification was made the
more certain by the newspaper descrip-
tion of the manner Of wearing the rings.

~MURDERLAND" OF THE czAR.
Caucasus Has 10000 People, Ruled by

The Caucasus provinces belong to Rus

never been able to pacify the natives.
The Drawer spirits took to the hill fast

For murder the Caucasus holds a rec
ord Two thousand odd are committed
every year. Bandits raid the valleys,
carry off rich merchants. and hold them
to ransom, or engage in pitched battles
with the cars Cossacks.
AS no less than 800 dialects are spoken
by the 100000 natives, it may be
imagined that the police have difficult
time.
The outlaws are wits, and sometimes
highly cultivated men. One of the most
notorious, Murad Kisilun was educated
at Moscow university, and was known
nc the age Of II as author Of a disser-
tation on the subject: "The Moral At.

One Of the worst bandits, Georgian
woman, known as Lisa has never been
caught. She can boast over 80 robber~
leg, most accompanied By violence or
murder.
Lisa's pretty face is now known every-
where, but formerly she used to enter
the towns, and under the pretext of
selling fruit, pick up useful information
about intending travellers.
1isa's last exploit was to meet the
police in pitched battle. She killed two
and captured two more, releasing them
a few days later with the word spy
branded ON their cheeks.
The last governor of the Caucasus,
Prince Golitsin, declared to the ear that
ut would need two soldiers for every
native, one to watch him by night and
the other by day, to maintain any sem
blance OF order and civilization in the
Caucasus
That this is no exaggeration Is shown
by the fact that a recent trial proved
that many native policemen and about
10 per cent of the town population, were
in league with the bandits.
Some policemen received a percentage

murder, were terrorized into giving in

appeared, used to send his bIaekmailed

superintendent says that the conditions
are dangerous to health, discipline and

that the men will probably leave the
