Herr Most came to this city on Mon
day Oh the invitation Of friends and
has been tie guest OF Adclph Kraus OF
Cutter street. He was to have tdeliv
cred a lecture in Chicago on Wednes-
day night, but On account of an attack
of erysipelas he was obliged to cancel
his engagement, although the attack
was MOI. regarded as serious. Up to
a few hours before his death his ply

patient would soon recover.
Herr Most was delirious most of the

suffering greatly, but occasionally re.
peating parts Of his most famous
speeches, using the German language.
with which he was naturally most
familiar During the larger part Of
the night he was unconscious, but dur,

Later he again became unconscious

him at the end were few of his
friends in this city who had been car.
ing for him during his sickness.

New York, March 19.The World
says: =
! Opposition has arisen among the
trustees Of the New York Life Insur-
adce company to the proposed suits
against the estate of John A. Mccall to
recover the yellow dog" funds he
gave to Andrew Hamilton and the
$14s,000 of policy holders money he
contributed to the Republican national
campaign in 1896, 1900 and 1904. It
is said that this opposition is SO strong
that it will be able to defeat the move
ment to sue.
It also developed that the members
OF the finance committee who served
at the times the campaign payments
were made have about completed q
plan to make good the total amount
out of their own pockets
The opposition to suing the estate
Of Mccall has become SC open that It
is said the trusteeke fayoring such
action will not dare Is bring before
the trustees a resolution auth orizing
the procedure. Such a resolution will
be necessary, for authorization has
only been, given SO far to sue Mccall
personally.
But no matter what may be done
with reference to the Mccall estate
suits will be brought against Hamil-
ton for restitution.

Washington, March Unusual eff

due to the fear that a measure will.
be passed mainly through the aid of

Sooner or later three or four SEN
ators on one hand, who are for rail

Der on the other, will meet ard agree.
Either the Hepburn bill will go

ment simply defining the constitutional
rights of railroad companies. The
agreement will come like a flash at
almost any time
81 do not anticipate, however, that
the bill will be amended to the length

exception of the enginemen, who, al
though mangled, had not been reached
by the flames.
S. F.. Lively, the operator whose
failure to deliver the train order that
resulted in the collision, has not yet

probable that no action against him
will be taken until after the coroners

In certain parts of India the pan
ther is named 'bipat," which means
calamity, for he is an ever-present
scourge among the people. His prop
er name is tendwa. 1t is the habit
of these panthers for family of them
to quarter themselves on a circle of
villages within convenient distance Of
their nightly prowlings. AS soon as
the sun is below the horizon they
sally forth from the cover of the sur
rounding forests and watch the paths
by which the village herds and flocks
return to their resting places. If a
meal cannot be secured then, later on
they enter a village and patrol the
dark lanes in the boldest manner.
Nothing comes amiss to them that is
not too large and heavy for their
strength.
Children, dogs. goats and the young
cattle are their favorite quarry. They
are bold enough to dash into hut
even with light burning in it, seize
their prey, then rush away with lgiht-
ming speed and with noiselcssness

prize to the nearest cover and there

ESCAPED FROM AN OCTUPUS

Here is a true story of an octopus,
not the kind that has its headquarters
in New Jersey. 1.-TWO fishermen were
plying their vocation off Great Belle
Island, Conception Bay, off the New
foundland coast. Suddenly they dis
covered at a short distance from them
a dark, shapeless mass floating on the
surface of the water. Concluding that
it was probably part of the cargo OF
some wrecked vessel, they approached
it, anticipating a valuable prize, and
one of them struck the object with ms
boathook Upon receiving the shock
the dark heap became suddenly ami
mated, and, spreading out, discovered
a head, with pair of large, promi-
nent, staring eyes, which seemed to
CLEAN with intense ferocity, the Great
ure at the same time exposing to view
and opening its parrot-like beak with
an apparently hostile and malignant
purpose. The men were petrified with
terror and for a moment so fascinated
by the horrible sight that they were
powerless to make move TO defend
themselves.

villager, following the tracks of the
retreating animal soon arrives at the
few remains OF his goat or calf, or
maybe, his child.
In the following way the natives
get their revenge. A stray dog is
caught in the village and is tied on
the path generally frequented by the
panther family. The bait is carried off
during the night and devoured close
by. Next day a machan (platform)
is fixed in a convenient tree and in
the evening a kid is tied on the spot
occupied by the dog ON the previous
night. The sportsman settles himself
in the machan before sunset and be-
gins his watch.
Terrified ny his lonely position the
kid begins a frantic bleating, which
soon attracts the panther marauders,.
which are skulking about near the
spot where they found their last meal.
A short stalk soon brings them to
the kid and directly under the con-
cealed sportsman. who shoots the
beasts. 1t is impossible to follow
the panthers into the impenetrable
cover they frequent and they never
show themselves in daylight.

OF the subtlety and guile of the sui
tan of Turkey a diplomat writes:
The sultan can lie and cheat with all
the bland simplicity of the heather
Chinee; in fact, his capacity for de-
ception amounts to little short of
genius. l remember that a shrewd
Yankee friend of mine who was min.
lister at Constantinople, pitted his
brains against those of the sultan.
He had been specially commissioned
by the United States to collect some
outstanding debts which had been
long due. The sultan acknowledged
the debts cheerfully; he was most
anxious to pay them; he would pay
them before those due to any other
power. However, my diplomatic
friend determined to pay visit to the
sultan and to wake him up. He
had already refused a present which
the snltan had sent him of two su-
perb Arab horses, which, had he had
weak spot, would assuredly have
found it. My friend was tenacious
He had often lassoed and thrown and
held a bull in Texas, and he was cute
as all good Yankees are. Besides. he
was angry with the sultan, and things
had reached crisis.

to that gentle voice, he could not be-

there on business. He was very reso-
lutte. Again and again he had broach-
ed the subject, and every time the
sultan had given him the assurance
that the account would be settled
presently. He took him over his
grounds and led my friend to recount
the stories of his rough-riding in Tex
as, his exploits in the civil war. The
sultan showed some knowledge and
great interest in these affairs. de-
tailed and particular account of the
American constitution was next.
Then came dinner. There follow
ed, while they smoked cigars together
like two old cronies, Turkish com.

suddenly and with words gracious but
few, the sultan disappeared. 1t was
