TOSSES MONEY IN STREET
Baltimore Amazed by the Lavish Ac-
tons Of = New Yorker-Would
:, !. Build Navy. 49, .

Baltimore, Md.-Henri Belmont de la
Rue, a .well-known New Yorker, who a
few days ago took an Office at ZIG North
Liberty street, created great excitement
by throwing money in the street from
his Office window to large gathering
of newsboys and others, who had been
attracted to the scene. In all he threw
away about $50 in bills Of small de-
nomination and silver, and only de-
sisted when forced to do so by police-
man and kindly disposed citizens, who
realized that the philanthropist was suf-
fering from some mental disorder.
The action of De la Rue was accom-
panied by speechmaking, during the
course of which he informed the public
that he was multi-millionaire, and that
it was his usual custom to distribute
at least 1000 day in this manner.
Besides the real money the man gave to
several persons drafts for sums ranging
all the way from SO to $4,000 and ,ex-
hibited a willingness to increase the
amount had anyone desired it.
When De la Rue reached Baltimore he
said he wanted to establish CONNER
cial navy" which should guard the
merchant interests of the world on the
high seas. He wanted to rent a ware
house to feed 5000 members of his navy,
And for several days he has been busy
sending big orders right and left for
supplies of wines, liquors, cigars and
miscellaneous luxuries, some of which
are said to have been delivered on
checks.

FINDS BONES OF cANNlBALS
Oregon Archaeological Discovers Re-
mains Of Prehistoric Race on
Farm Near Albany.

Albany, Ore.-While excavating on a
farm five miles southwest of Albany.
near the bank of the Calapooia river,
J. G. Crawford, Of this city, discovered
the remains of several bodies of pre-
historic men, and also small altar, un-
doubtedly used as a place for sacrifices.
The remains of five bodies were found.
the skeletons showing that all the bodies
had been mutilated.
Crawford, who had made number Of
excavations in different mounds in this
part of the state during the last few
years and who has acquired consider
able reputation as an archaeologist,
thinks the people undoubtedly were
cannibals. Most of the bodies found
were badly mutilated. In one skull the
whole face had been broken out from
the top of the head to the jaw, while in
two others a jaw and other small parts
OF the face were missing.
The altar, though small, was a perfect
one. 1t was built on rock foundation,
in oval form and was constructed of
clay, which had been burned until it was
as red as brick, though not so hard. The
altar r~orer was "a inches long and 18
inches wide. Crawford says there is no
doubt it had been used for sacriicial
purposes and from what he has been
able to learn about the habits of this
race from his investigations he thinks
1t was the custom OF the people to offer
the hearts Of the dead on these little
affairs as burned sacrifice to some
deity.

GOATS AND NATIONS FATE
Bewhiskered Thibetan Animal Is
Strayed Over Line of Demarca-

The frontier between British India
and Thibet traverses districts where
there are mountain pastures, and the
main grievance was that certain Thib-
etan goats which were ignorant of the
line of demarcation were in the habit
of straying into British territory. What
particular harm the goats did by brows-
ing occasionally on British grass is
not very clear. In any case, the CAM

Chicago.-'The Spartans and Modes

children to death as soon as born, were
wiser than we," Mrs Margaret Forwerg
told the Social Economic club here the
other day, in general discussion of pen

Brutal as it may seem, such an atti-

the hopelessly deformed were put to

respect some old pagan civilizations
were in advance of our own.

crate tendencies. Those who are hope
