The situation from Sheldons point
OF view was bad enough without the
interference of Jack Bentley, who had
entered his private office with scant

Sheldon, his face livid, reached for
the bell, only to find himself confront

determined eyes.
''Stay where you are till I'm through

Life Preserver seats.

Some pleasure steamers on the Eng
lish coast employ very good idea in
connection with Il few of their deck
chairs. They are really air tight
boxes to which a back and sides have
been added. They stand back to back
in the middle of the deck and are kept
together by means of a piece of wood
across the top. When this is removed
the seats can be opened on hinges. If
the vessel got wrecked the seats could
be opened and flung overheard, ana
they would form a buoyant raft for
passengers to cling to.-London Mail.

The American buffalo.

The buffalo is the bull1iest living land
animal native to North America. A
full grown buffalo bull stands about
five feet eight or ten inches at the
shoulder and weighs about 1900
pounds. But specimens of over six
feet at the withers have been recorded,
and Mr.. HOrnaday tells me that he
weighed living bull at 2,190 pounds
A full grown COW stands about four
feet eight at the shoulders and. accord
ing to Audubon. weighs about 1.20O
pounds, though Henry says seldom over
700 or 800 pounds. The lower weight
seems to be nearer the average run,
but have seen cows that stood as
high and looked as heavy as ordinary
bulls. = Ernest Thompson Seton in
Sctibner's.

sixty sturdy Samoans. who had loved
and now mOurned their dead chief,
Tusitula. \ party of forty had pre-
viously cut a pathway through, the
thick, tangled wood with knives and
axes, While another party had pre-
pared the grave. With infinite care
and trouble they bore him shoulder
high over the rough ground to his last
long home, and there. under the starry
sky, they left him to sleep forever, with
the Pacific at his feet On either side
of his tombstone is a bronze plate
One bears the words, ''The Tomb of
Tusitula," while the other is inscribed
with his own requiem, beginning:
Under the wide and starry sky

REPORT Of MURDER IS NOW CONFIRMED Member of Russia's 0uuawed Par- hament Killed in His County
 Home
WALKING WITH HIS WIFE
Three Shots Were Fired When He Fell Dead Hi. Daughter
 Injured.

St Petersburg, Aug 1.-The report of the murder of M. Herzenstein, the former member of the outlawed par liament, in which he was promi- nent leader of the constitutional democrats, is confirmed. He was as- sassinated at his country house near Terioki. Finland, by men in the pay of the Black Hundred.
 M. Herzenstein was walking along the seashore with his wife and daughter when several shots were fired at him from an unoccupied building. M. Herzenstein was hit twice and fell dead. His daughter was wounded in the hand. The murderers escaped. A remarkable fact is that three hours prior to the murder a telephone message was received at a newspaper office from Moscow saying that 1t was reported in Moscow that M. Herzenstein had been assassi- mated.
 M. Herzenstein was of Jewish de- scent and very wealthy. His attacks on the minister of finance in the low CT house of parliament attracted widespread attention. He supported the constitutional democratic scheme for land appropriation.
 M. Herzenstein was practical banker, having been for a long time the secretary of the Moscow land bank. He was recognized authority on financial and agricultural mat ters. He was a leader in all of the Zemstvo movements, and furnished them all of the financial data. His family had renounced the Jewish faith and become orthodox Russians several generations ago. He occupied a prominent place in Moscow society and was popular among the peasants.

 Its Cars
PEOPLE BLOCKED TO SEE HIM

Parkersburg, w. Va, Aug 1.- George Rossett. the Syrian leper whose movements have been watched for the last few weeks, arrived in this city yesterday, and his travels were brought suddenly to a halt when the Baltimore and Ohio officials re- fused to allow him to ride on that division of the road. News of his arrival spread swiftly. Thousands fiocked to the depot and police were detailed to watch Rossett, who when he found that he could go no fur ther, decided to make himself com fortable on the grass in the near of the station. Late last night Record Ter Leonard issued a warrant for three men charging them with bring ing the leper here. Those arrested are Baltimore and Ohio conductor, E. V. Owens; Dr B. F. Bonn of Mary land and D. w. Mohler of the local yard office. All three mem were ar rested and put up forfeit for their appearance to-day. The county board of health held a meeting last night. but after deliberating for several hours took no action. It is probable that another meeting will be called to-day at which time some instruc- tions will be had from the state board.

DANGER ON THE WATERS
Vessels That Were Blffeted And Beat en By Waves and Winds and
 Finally Wrecked
CALLED FOR ASSISTANCE

Block Island, R. l., Aug 1.-During a dense fog. the government collier steamer Nero ran ashore to-day near South Light Her position was con sidered dangerous as she appeared to have struck a rock and had listed badly. She carried four thousand tons of coal.
 The Nero was bound up the coast from Newport News to the Bradford coaling station, in command of Cap tain Shurtleff. She was proceeding slowly. When opposite the southeast light. her pilot heard the lighthouse fog horn. but mistaking the distance of the signal. he ran the ship too close to the shore.
 It is believed that her hull was rup- tured as her forward compartment is reported full of water. Tugs have been called from New London, to try to release the steamer.
 The Nero is an English built steel vessel of 1900 tons and Is capable of a speed of nine knots an hour.

LEADERS PLAY TWO GAMES
Score Was Tied at End of Fifth, Sixth and 7th Inning in First Game This
 Afternoon
WATERBURY WON THE FIRST

Norwich, fresh from two victories won in Bridgeport yesterday. was at the State league grounds to-day try ing her luck with the Prodigals in a double-header. Much depends upon these two games to-day, for if O'Ha- gan's men win, they will be close to the top. while if Jack Tighe's bunch should take both contests, they would have commanding lead that 1t would be difficult to overcome.
 Although the weather has always been very wet when Norwich was scheduled to play here, the rain kept oil to-day: still the sun was not shin ing. Nevertheless, when the first contest started there were about 700 present.
 Norwich opened up on Treat who was in the box for Waterbury and in the first round sent brace of runs across the plate. When the fourth inning had been completed four big ones were chalked up for the visi- tors.
 Waterbury did not do much to Halligan until the fourth inning when the bats of the Prodigals did yeoman work and when they were through lambasting Halligan in that inning the score stood Waterbury 6, Norwich 4.
 Norwich went after Treat in the fifth and got back their two runs, making the score at the end of the fifth to 6, as Waterbury did noth- ing in her half of that inning.
 At the end of the sixth the score was still tied at 6-6. Hogarty had relieved Treat and Stevens was doing the twirling for Norwich, Halligan having been knocked out of the box.
 Each team made run in the sew enth inning, leaving the score still a tie at 7-7.
 In the Sth Waterbury made one, while Norwich was blanked. leaving the score to in favor of Waterbury.
 Norwich made one in the first half of the ninth. and Waterbury made one in it's half, winning the game by the following score: Waterbury % 1 0 0 0 1-9 Norwich ........2 O 1 20 1 0 1-S
 Batteries-Treat, Hogarty and Thackara; Halligan. Stevens and Bridges.

Principal Training Station.

Washington. Aug 1.-At New Lon. don, Conn, the marine corps is re- constructing barracks and preparing quarters which will make that point the principal training station for the marines, especially those who are to serve abroad ships. It is the inten- tion to remove from Annapolis the training school for newly commis- stoned marine officers who are now educated for their first duty near the naval academy. The marine officers are the superiors in rank of the mid shipmen and require the deference to rank which is enacted in every branch of the service. and the result has been some feeling and animosity. With the marine training station at New London 1t is expected that one cause of priction between naval and marine oflcers will be removed.
