and broke open the jail They secured
Rogers and hanged him before the sher-

RUNAWAY KILLS TRAMPS
LOADED ORE CARS DASHED DOWN
STEEP GRADE.
Train Crew Jumps to Safety, but Hoboes
Are Believed to Have Been
Crushed.

TWO HARBORS, Mimi, May %
A runaway Duluth & Iron Range train,
carrying thirty loaded ore cars, last night
at 10 o'clock dashed down a hill from
Waldo, Mimi, to Two Harbors, without
an engine crew, conductor or brakemen,
excepting one brakeman who jumped in
the darkness. He sustained a broken
leg and other injuries.
Three tramps and possibly more are
dead as a result of their own careless
ness, or ignorance of the working of
the airbrakes. Twenty-Five loaded ore
cars piled up, being a complete loss.
After the tramps had boarded the
train at block station the air failed to
work at the top of a long hill. 1t is
supposed that the trampS in some man
ner turned an angle cock Tie engineer
and tlremen were first to jump, then the
crew began dropping OFF. No tramps
were seen to leave the fast moving train.
The engine ran ahead of the wreck, but
being reversed, stopped and returned.
OMAHA. Neb.. May 29.-On the long
down grade between Lincoln and Omaha
a heavy Burlington freight train with Il
drunken crew ran wild on the main line.
Engineer Delaney was stretched out
on the engine pilot. His fireman lay in
a stupOr at the bottom of the cab. At
the throttle was a brakeman. Another
brakeman stocked the engine. Manned by
the sintOXicated pair, the train dashed
past five stations as fast as It's wheels
could turn.
The terrified station agents and train
diSpatcherS were pOWerleSS to stop the
runaway. About the time it reached the
steep incline just out of South Omaha
the engine broke an air pipe, owing to a
draw bar being pulled out. This set the
brakes

Unrest Due to Hostility to Reforms De
cided Upon by the Conference
at AlgeciraS.

TANGIER, May 29.-The anarchy in
southern Morocco has blazed out into
ntertribal fighting and the whole coun-
try is given over to fire and sword.
Mogador practically is blockaded on
the land side, and bandits are plumber
ing caravans with impunity within sight
of the walls of the town.
The unrest largely is due to hostility
to the reforms adopted by the Algeciras
conference. All classes of Moors are de-
termined to oppose the introduction of
European police force.
NJ. Charbonnier, a Frenchman,, and
clerk at the Compagnie Algerienne bank,
was shot and killed last night while rid
ing horseback on the beach three miles
from here. The murderers escaped.

TAINTED MONEY
ENEMY RESIGNS.
Judge o. w. Thompson of Illinois Cir
cult Bench Leaves Womans
College Office.

JACKSONVILLE, ILL.,, May %
Judge Owen 2. Thompson of the Sew
enth Illinois circuit in a letter to Pres
ident Harker of the Illinois Women's
college has resigned as :, member of the
board of trustees, giving as his reason
the acceptance of the Carnegie offer Of
$50, 900, conditioned on the college rails
ing 81 500 additional. His letter takes
positive grounds against accepting money
from such men as Carnegie and Rookie
Teller.
Resignation Is Accepted.
Judge Thompsons resignation was ac-
cepted In his letter to President Har
ker he says:
That this question is worthy of the Sc
rious consideration of all must be apparent
when we find the President of the United
States calling the attention of the people in
a public manner to the lawleSs methods of
Mr.. Rockefeller and urging that proceedings
be instituted against the Standard Oil COM
pany to check the wrongs and outrageS at
tendant upon such practices. And 1T Will
not be overlooked that Mr.. Carnegie's steel
trust is of the same class of law breakers.
Moral Injury Too Great.
Such men may continue to build great
fortunes under such methods and they prob
ably will find colleges and universities ready
and willing to accept their favors and over
look the important fact that the injury thus
done to the moral sense vastly outwelghs
the supposed benefits arising therefrom.
Educational institutions more than all
others, not even excepting the churches.
should resent the efforts of rich monopolists
to have their names fixed on the impress
sionable minds of the youth as being worthy
of remembrance for great deeds of philan-
thropy The evil effects which will flow
from the association of the names of such
men as Carnegie and Rockefeller with our
schools and colleges may be looked for
when the students who have been taught
to sound their praises and applaud their
generosity seek in after years to emulate
their example
Stiles Ideals of Student
Its immediate effect is upon the CON
science of the student. He sees the triumph
of an unworthy man solely through the
force of money and beholds good people rem
dering homage and bowling at his golden
shrine. AT first he finds it difficult to recon
cile such facts and circumstances with his
ideas of natural justice and morality, but
the probable danger is that later he will
accept the too common belief that money,
however obtained. will bring TO it's posses
sor both honor and respect.

 4 FAMOUS ACTOR Incidents in the Life of John
 Lawrence TooIe HE WAS A GREAT JOKER "Reminiscences" Printed .1s Years Ago Contained Many Accounts
 of His Pranks-When He

HE WAS A GREAT JOKER

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
 John Lawrence Toole, whose death in England has just been announced was a comedian somewhat of the style of the late John S. Clarke. His popularity in London for more than half a century gave him a position in the regard of the Eng fish audiences such as no other comedian could boast. He has been called the dean of the British stage, and was justly en- titled to the distinction.
 Toole's book of "Reminiscences" was published in 1888, and the entertaining work went through many editions. Toole was good story teller. and the book was put Into good shape by the practical hand of Joseph Hatton. Here are a few of his anecdotes. The first one refers to an incident of his American tour. A cer- tain genial citizen insisted upon taking him home, and when he got him there be- came another man. The dialogue is be- tween Toole and Hatton
 Don't mention the place; he might not like it." begins Toole, "and l should be sorry to hurt his feelings. Besides, he was the editor of the leading newspaper in the district, and had rival journalist, of course, and if that rival journalist got hold of the story, wouldn't his rival worry him!

Z DANGERS BABY BIRD MEETS.
Wonder He Ever Grows Up, He Has
 So Many Enemies.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 So many dangers beset young birds be- tween the time they are matched and the time they are able to take care of them selves 1t Is wonder that so many of them reach maturity. That any of them do so Is probably due to the fact that thls period of helplessness Is comparatively short, averaging perhaps three weeks with the majority of our perching birds.
 During the period of incubation the nest is comparatively safe; as a rule. 1t is in- conspicuous. often carefully hidden. and the sitting bird Is usually silent.
 As soon as the tender chicks break through the shells of the eggs 1t becomes a difficult matter indeed for the parents to keep their secret from hundred enc mics more pitiless than any storm, and whose eyes, ears and noses are ever ready to detect the presence of such dainty and available morsels as nestlng birds.
 The feeding of the little ones and the cleaning of the nests necessitates scores of visits daily on the part of the old birds. and, quietly as the work is usually done, so much passing back and forth to a given point is very often apt to attract undesirable attention. Then the young birds themselves seem very indiscreet and freuuently make so much ado when their parents arrive with food that they seem 10 invite every enemy within sight or hearing.
 The young of birds which build on the ground are perhaps the ones which are subject to the greatest number'of dan gers Fortunate it is for them that they know no evil-that their inborn fear IS

n Good Housekeeping.

From Good Housekeeping
 Probably the finest set of royal Sevres in this country is the Napoleon service in the possession of Mrs. James Spencer Cannon of New York, as even in the museum of Sevres there is noth- ing to equal it of the same period It was ordered by Napoleon I. in 1811-13 for his stepson, Eugen de Beauharnais. who was then viceroy of Naples. From Hortense, mother of Napoleon IL, it passed on to Empress Eugenie, who gave it to her godson, Baron B.. from whose chateau it was purchased
 It is a coffee set of most exquisite design and surpassing workmanship; the color, deep palm green, with ara besques in gold and especially graceful handles of gilded bronze. The medal lions, copied from the poets of the Uffizi gallery at Florence by Didier, the great portrait painter in china of that epoch, are less effective than usual, being only in monochrome Of sepia.
