TRIAL ASIA IN A LUG


The young Roumanian could not help
smiling.
Then l went to the door of the van
to sec that we were i'll no danger of a
surprise, and then the conversation was
resumed. Naturally, Kinko asked me
how | had discovered his secret ! told
him all that had passed on the steamer
during his voyage across the Caspian.

voice, two nights ago 1 thought all was

then asked Kinko to show me how
he managed in his box. Nothing could
be simpler or better arranged. At the
bottom was a seat on which he sat, with
the necessary space for him to stretch
his legs when he placed them obliquely
under the seat. shut in by lid were u
few provisions, and table utensils, re-
duced to simple pocket knife and metal
mug; an overcoat and rug hung from
a nail, and the little lamp he used al

Child. Fatally Burned.

Lottie Beard, the sixteen months old child
of Arthur Beard, colored resident of
Pierce street, in Garfield died yesterday
from the effects of a severe burning which
she sustained Tuesday afternoon in an ac
cident at the home of her parents. The
child was in a room with her two sisters,
Viola and Mabel, playing about the cook
ing stove. The father and mother were
at their places of employment. A boy
named Daniel Burrows had been left to
care for the children. While he was at the
pump, several hundreds yards from the
house, obtaining a bucket of water the ac
cident occurred and he was too late to do
more than prevent Lottie from being en-
tirely consumed by the flames. 1t is said
Viola Beard was poking the fire with a
stick which, on being withdrawn from the
stove, contained a flame that communicated
itself to Lotties dress. laniel Burrows
and others came up at the cries of the two
other Beard children, but Lottie had then
been fatally burned about the head, face
and body. She died yesterday morning.
Undertaken Mason took charge of the body,
and prepared it for burial tomorrow in
Moore's cemetery, Hillsdale.
