HENRY HARLAND STRICKEN.
Author of "The Cardinals Snuff Box
Qiea in Italy.

New York, Dec. 22.-Henry Harland,
the American author who wrote the
Cardinals Snuff Box" is dead. The
news reached here yesterday in ca
blegram received from San Reno, Italy,
where the demise occurred the day
previous.
Mr.. Harland's American home was at
Norwich, Conn, and he also had a
London residence. He wrote under the
pseudonym of Sidney Luska.
Altho he had been before the pub
lie as writer for about score of
years, Mr. Harland had just begun to
find himself and to win the place in
letters which his talents deserved. His
early book, LAS 1t Was Written" was
extremely popular. and in some ways it
surpassed any of his more recent books,
but it's success was not of so distinct
lively literary sort while the fact that
it appeared under a pen name obscured
the reputation of the author.
For number of years Mr.. Harland
rather dropped out Of sight, his deli
cate prose fantasies being known only
to a small circles OF connoisseurs.
Two of his latest books, The Car
dinars Snuff Box" and THE Lady
Paramount" are very charming and
highly ornamented love comedies. one

Wooster, O., Dec. 23.-The motion for
new trial in the Taggart divorce
case, was overruled by Judge Eason
here yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Tag
CARTS attorneys, who made the mo-
ton, took exceptions to the ruling with
the announced intention Of carrying
the case to the circuit court The
court took four hours to give the de-
cision He paid particular attention to
the affidavits made against himself,
some of which declared that he was
prejudiced and biased in giving the de-
cree Of divorce to Major Taggart. He
pronounced these affidavits unfair, un-
just and unusual for lawyers to make
and that all other affidavits were a
mass Of trash. The attorneys who
swore to the affidavits of prejudice,
he said, were clearly in contempt and
he imposed fine Of SIS each upon
Judge Lyman Critchfield, Captain Jas.
B. Taylor and Judge M. L. Smyser. He
suspended collection of the fines until
the circuit court could pass upon his
decision in the case. The attorneys
made vigorous protest against such
a proceeding and insisted that he place
his charges against them in writing.

were in barracks, but instead Of pre-
venting the revolving soldiers from
looting. they fired at the upper win
dows while the looters were busy be-
low Bush says they would not fire on
the revolving soldiers although they
were quick enough to bring down their
rifles to kill Chinese. The store was a
big one full of general merchandise
and the loss must, have been over a
million dollars, for the mob brought
can after can of oil from the wharf and
burned the place. BY this time the
streets We're filled with screaming, mad
Russians and Chinese. Sticks and
stones and flying bullets were whistling
everywhere. Chinese corpses wers

Russians were killed. Bush did no!
