THE TRAMP's $1,000 BILL.
Had Fortune in His Pocket But Could
Get Nothing TO Eat.


Mark Twain once built a nice little
romance about a man in London with
a 81, 900 bank note in his pocket and
not another penny in the world. The
man was relatively rich, yet he was in
danger of starvation because nobody
could change his bill, and in danger
of Jail because if he had gone to a
bank for change he would have been
arrested as suspicious character. A
very nearly parallel story in real life
occurred the other day in New York.
The wife of millionaire lost mag
nifcent brooch. A tramp found it and
returned it to her. She rewarded him
with 81, 600 bill, new and crisp. The
tramp was in the seventh heaven for
time. Then he remembered he was
hungry, and that he hadn't a cent ex-
cept the 81, 900 bill. He was afraid to
go into a restaurant and present it,
and equally afraid to carry it to a
bank. At last advices he was ''pan-
handling" on the side streets, with his
small fortune fastened inside one OF
his ragged pockets with a safety pin.

in 100000 YEARS BIRDS WILL RULE ROOs1
Will Be Extinct Fowls Will Have This Little Old
World Says a Professor of Chicago University.

said Mr.. Willston. "First came the
fishes. They were dominant for a
while, and had to give way to the am-
phibians. Then came the reptiles,
and soon they yielded to the mann
mails. Now the mammals are weaken
ing, and the newest class, the birds,
are growing in prominence, and in
time, I sincerely believe, will be the
dominant inhabitants of the earth.
"Each of these classes developed to
the highest degree of specialization
and then began to wane. Man is de-
veloped to the highest degree now,
and but little more can be expected of
him."

The human race will be extinct on

Samuel Willston, professor of paleon-

While lecturing on the future of the
earth's inhabitants Professor Willston
declared that in his opinion instead
of men at this future date, which he
told the students would not come for
something like 100000 years, the
earth will be dominated by birds.

events that will ultimately drive man

SENATOR BACON's ILLNESS.
Baltimore Paper Pays High Tribute to
the Georgia Statesman.


From the Baltimore News.
1t was in the performance of an ar
duous and patriotic duty that Senator
Bacon was overcome by illness in the
senate chamber yesterday afternoon.
The Georgia senator had been devOt-
| ing himself with the most assiduous
labor to the task of opposing the pend
ing treaty with Santo Domingo, and
it was Just as he had begun to make a
careful and extensive argument on the
subject in the executive session that
he was Overtaken by the attack OF
brain congestion.
He had been subjected to unusual
strain during the Swayne impeach-
ment proceedings, and though in evil
! dent need of rest he had not relaxed
his labors afterward, because of the
extreme importance which he attaches
to the defeat of the proposed Santo
Domingo arrangement. Senator Ba-
con, it will be remembered, was one OF
! the most prominent of the senator's
who, during the discussion of the treaty
with Spain at the close of the recent
war, endeavored to prevent the per-
manent acquisition of the Philippines
and the launching of our country upon
the course of colonial domination into
which it has since glided. The joint
( resolution which he proposed as a
condition precedent to the approval
of the treaty would, if it had been
adopted, have exercised a powerful
and we believe a controlling influence
upon the development Of events. He
supported it with ability, and alto
gether, in our judgment, was, among
the entire anti-imperialists group in
the senate, the man who cut the most
creditable figure as a statesman. His
course ever since has given consistent
evidence of his sincerity and earnest
ness in the stand he then took and so
ably supported.
There is no reason to believe that
his present illness will be more than
temporary trouble. Allwho admire
faithful, able and unstinted public SER
vice will most heartily wish Senator
Bacon a speedy and complete recov-
erV.

GIRL HAS A SIXTH SENSE
DEAF, DUMB AND BLIND, AND A
RIVAL TO HELEN KELLER.

What Those About Her Are Saying.
Ella Hopkins Newest Wonder.
Miss Ella Hopkins of Utica, New
York, although deaf, dumb and blind
is possessed of the sixth sense, anC
is puzzle to the experts who have
been interested in her case. She is a
present in the institute for the instruc
ton of the deaf and dumb in New
York city.
The instructors in the school says
she will, if she continues to progress
as she has done in the past, become
more remarkable than Helen Keller.
OF the five senses usually accorded
to human beings Miss Hopkins pos
Sesses but three, and they are made
quate to assist her in the strange pow
err which renders her a marvel even
among the highly educated deaf and
dumb. The three senses which she
possesses are feeling, tasting and
smelling, and it is hard to understand
how these could account for her re-
markable accomplishments. Some
people have tried to explain her pow
ers on the grounds of magic and other
equally absurd things. The scientific
world will watch with great interest
her progress.
Ella is not quite II years old. She
lost speech, sight and hearing eight
years ago. Even before she was
placed in the institution for the in
struction of the deaf and dumb, three
years ago, her mysterious and most
marvellous faculty manifested itself. 1t
is not telepathy or mind reading. The
girl has disclosed no ability 10 tell
what people think until they have Civ
en- vocal expressions to their thoughts.
The principal of the institution de-
scribes the strange faculty as sugges-
tive hypnotism, while deprecating the
use of the term hypnotism as having
been much abused.
This strange ability, whatever il
may be, enables the girl to know
without hearing, seeing or touching
what others are talking about when
in the room with her. This power is
not always present. If it were, and
fully developed, she would possess a
sense equivalent to that of hearing.
The peoof has been ample, however,
that this remarkable girl gains
through some medium an understand
ing of subjects that are discussed in
her presence. At times she has been
able to write out parts of actual con-
versations between persons who have
talked together in the room where she
was seated,
Miss Hopkins comes of cultivated
and refined family. In appearance
she is quite unlike the ordinary per-
son who is deaf, dumb and blind. Her
face is animated and expressive. 1t
is hard to realize that she is blind, so
clear and changeable in expression
are her blue-gray eyes. Sitting at her
typewriter with her eyes fixed appar-
emily with intentsinterest on the keys
of the instrument, which she studies
with extreme precision, she appears
not unlike any intelligent young wo-
man in full possession of all her fac
ulties.
She often made known her under
standing of conversations at the fami-
ly gatherings, where she had sat ST.
lent, unhearing and unseeing presence.
When she was taken to the deaf and
dumb institution her father described
the strange demonstrations he had
witnessed of this faculty in his affiict-
ed child.

cit was drawing near sunset when
he was executed in neighboring val
ley. He was led into an Enclosure by
gendarme. There was small gath
ering of the judges, newspaper CORE
spondents and others. The prisoner
asked Capt. Hamao, who was in at
tendance, for permission to pray. The
request was of course granted. When
he had finished his prayers Capt.
Hamao asked him if he was married
and whether he had children. Both
of the questions being answered in the
affirmative, the captain told him that
he was one of the bravest and most
honorable soldiers Of Russia. The in
terests and law of Japan, however, de-
manded his death. But the captain,
in his private capacity, admired his
bravery and deeply sympathized with
him. If he had anything to leave or
communicate to his people the captain
would gladly undergo any trouble in
order to fulfill his desires.
These encouraging words caused
tears to rise to the eyes of the brave
Russian. He said he had no word to
send to his people. The only thing he
wanted to express was his gratitude
to the captain and the only favor he
would ask from him was permission
to shake hands with him. This was
done in the heartiest manner. A few
minutes later Vasilli Labor was
dead"

when man attired in a Chinese
