The Last Of the klpllng Fairy Stories.

Kipling has created another splendid
figure in his story OF THE Treasure and
the Law" the last OF his fairy tale
series, published in the October number
of McClure's magazine. Kadmiel, the
Jew, who trembled at the sound of a
gun shot, but entered a walled fortress
and stole a hidden treasure TO buy his
people their freedom, is another instance
Of Kipling's' success in dealing with alien
types Of character. He gives a remark
ably vivid and glowing picture of the
eager, furtive life of the Jews of the
Middle Ages and incidentally constructs
new version of the making OF Magma
Charta. One wishes that there were
dozen more OF these tales to follow
They have put new life and beauty into
some OF the most picturesque occasions
OF English history.

Gov. Magoon visited the national
insane asylum Sunday afternoon and
discovered deplorable state of affairs
there. One thousand six hundred and
sixty persons of both sexes are crowd
ed into filthy and dilapidated buildings
with a capacity for 400 persons. They
are sleeping on broken cots, relics OF
the last American occupation.
Congress made an appropriation to
enlarge the asylum, but the money
was never expended, and the condi-
tions today are very little better than
under Spanish control. Gov. Magoon
will take instant steps to erect addi-
tional buildings and remedy the abuses.

ment by the manager of the Cambria
Steel company says
"By an explosion in the rolling mill
mine of the Cambria Steel company,
seven men are dead and two are In.
jured but not fatally.
up to the present time only one
of the dead has been identified He
is an Aml'rican-born miner named

other dead are all foreigners, as are
the two injured.
The explosion took place In head
ing No. 30, a considerable distance
from the Inflated Klondike section,
where ia men lost their lives about
four years ago.
THE exact cause Is not known, but
it is supposed that the gas was fired
by the putting off of blast All the
men when found had their safety
lamps in proper trim, showing that
the accident could not have been
caused by neglect in that direction.
No damage whatever was done to the
workings, and the mine will contin
lie running as usual"

English "sunrasettes" in Jail.

London-Ten women suffragists,
who were arrested recently for riot.
ing within the precincts of the house
of commons, were arralgned in a po'
lice court and were bound over to
keep the peace for six months,
Such O commonplace outcome OF
the affair did not meet the views OF
the suffragists, who apparently de-
sired to assume the roles of martyrs
by being committed TO jail, when the
magistrate announced his decision
great uproar broke out in the court
room, and ultimately the women had
to be removed by force.
Some of them were literally thrown
out among the crowds waiting outside
the building.
The shrieking women continued to
make a demonstration outside the po-
lice court until Miss Pankhurst, who
took a prominent part in the disturb
ances in the women's gallery OF the
house of commons in April, was again
arrested
Some of the women who had been
temporarily locked in an anteroom by
the ponce nuu Il momentary revenge.
They managed to secure a key and
released themselves, but were again
locked in by their jailer, who walked
off with the key.
When the disturbances had some
what subsidized the police reassembled
the defendants, who were then in
formed by the magistrate that they
must Immediately find sureties for
their good behavior or be imprisoned
for two months. The whole 10 women
refused to enter into recogni2ances
and were conveyed to Holloway Jail.

Man Has Remarkable Escane

Pottsville, Penn,-After falling 400
feet in an abandoned mine hole, Jo-
seph Schroeder of Pottsville was We'd
nesday evening rescued alive and with
out single broken bone.
Schroeder left town at $50 in the
morning in company with William
Kalbach in quest Of pheasants. While
on their way through the brush to-
ward the mountain top Schroeder took
the lead. He walked into a drift and
plunged feet first downward.
Kalbach in a short time had dozen
men and long coils of rope on hand.
John Galloway was lowered into the
opening, and after going down 200
feet, the length of the rope attached
to his body, he heard cries for help.
A rope was then sent down to Schroe-
der and he was hauled up.

Middleboro.-After an all night and
all day search by scores Of men for the
missing Mrs. Emma Whitman, who Is
believed to be lost somewhere in the
vast wooded territory surrounding the
little settlement of Fallbrook, a sec
tion of this town, the hunt was called
off at a late hour Tuesday night and
the searchers dispersed for their
homes. Later the ponds will be drag
esou,. u,.ra.-asass-aa--.-..-a.-.
Since Tuesday noon an uninterrupted
search, led by the missing woman's
1S-year-old son, Alder, and her broth
er, Rufus Norris, assisted by the entire
fire department of this town and many
other volunteers, has been carried on.
Acres upon acres of densely wooded
country have been covered by the
hunters without obtaining the slight
est trace of the demented woman, and
they are of the belief that demented
as she is, she has been SLY enough to
make her escape to some distant city
by means of the money which she car
ried with her or else she lies dead
from exhaustion somewhere in the vi
cinity.
The woman, who has been living
alone with her son, has for some time
been acting strangely, and Monday
night insisted that burglars were at
tempting to get into the house to steal
the savings of herself and son, which
amounted to a little over 500
Possessed of this idea. the womaD
eft the house during the earlier hours
# the night and was pursued by her
son, who persuaded her to return.
The woman became somewhat more
quiet in her mind, and locking the
doors securely, so that she could not
possibly get out, the son Alder retired
after his mother had gone to her room.
In the morning she was gone and
a window left open showed the means
of exit which she used AS near as
can be learned it was about o'clock
in the morning when she left the
house, as there was slight noise heard
in her rooms by the people who live In
the upper part of the house.
Going to his work at an early hour
the son felt sure that he would find
his mother at her home when he re-
turned for dinner and not until then
did he notify the neighbors.
In the territory in which the woman
wandered off are two ponds, the Tispa-
quin pond, but half a mile away, and
the Fallbrook mill pond, about the
same distance, and two streams, the
Nemasket river and the Fallbrook
stream.
If the woman had kept to the woods
during the time she has been away
it has now been two days since she has
had food, and there being no report Of
her seeking food at any nearby place
strengthens the belief that she is dead
Telephone messages have been sent
out in every direction telling of the de-
mented woman, giving an accurate de-
scription of her and requesting. anyone
who sees her to notify the local au-
thorities at once.
The woman is about feet inches
TALL weights about 1876. pounds, has
blue eyes, dark hair and prominent
cheek bones.

SANFORD CASES DROPPED.
Among Them Was One Charging tn
Leader With Manslaughter.

Lewiston, Me-Frank w. SandfOrd
of Shiloh, OF Holy Ghost and U.s.
fame, has scored a great victory over
the prosecuting attorney of the dis
trict and the people of Maine
Every case against him, including
one of manslaughter and four of cru
city to children, pending in the Su-
preme court Of Androscoggin county
has been mol pressed by the court S
suggestion.
Against each charge has been writ
ten these words; mol pressed on
advice Of the court And the reason
given out by the court is that the eX.
pense would be too great and the pro
curing of evidence too difficult.
At the clearing up Of the docket of
the term of court just closed in Au-
burn County, Attorney Ralph w.
Crockett, who conducted the case for
the State in the third trial against
Sanford, was advised by Judge Wis
well, the presiding Justice. and by
other justices who were consulted,
that in view of the expense that would
be incurred, and the difficulty that
the State has met with in getting evil
dence in previous trials. it would be
well to mol pros. the Indictment. This
was done in the case of the man
slaughter charge and in that of the
cruelty charges also.
Sandford has been tried three times
for alleged manslaughter, the indict.
ment alleging that the death of lie.
ander Bartlett, a 14-year old boy, who
was one of the Shiloh colony, resulted
from undue punishment inflicted for
dsobedience of the rules of the col.
ony.
1t was alleged that the boy was de-
prived of nourishment and that, weak,
ened by hunger, he was attacked with
a sickness that resulted fatally.
The first trial, which was held in
droscoggin County Court at Auburn
in January, 1904, resulted in a dis
agreement.
On motion of Sandford's counsel, who
thought the state of public opinion
in the county preiudicial to their
clients interests, a change OF venue
was secured and the second trial was
held in the Franklin County Court in
Pennington in May, 1904.
The jury, after less than an hours
deliberation, returned a verdict OF
guilty. Counsel for Sanford, how
ever, appealed to the full bench of the
Supreme Court and the verdict was set
aside and new trial ordered
The third trial was held in the An
drascoggin County Court at Auburn
in September, 1905, and resulted in a
disagreement Of the jury.
