KILLED BY RUNAWAY
Napoleon Souiere Died Early This Morning Companion
 Escaped.

Napoleon Souliere, aged 2S, of Franklin street, died at his home shortly before 6 o'clock this norm ing from the effect of injuries re- ceived last right in 8 runaway ac c- cident in Baldwin street.. In com pany with Marie Stone of S60 Mill street, cook at Winnings restaurant on Grand street, Souliere was out for a ride and in coming down Pleasant street something scared the horse and it became unmanag- able and rushed onto Baldwin street and into the fence across the way the Edward Pierce property, mak- ing wide gap in the pickets and coming against a tree that stood in the enclosure. Fortunately for the lady she got out before the crash came and escaped with nothing worse than a slight jar .n the side, but her companion was rendered un- conscious. The rig was demolished and the horse received several bruises.
 A big crowd collected about the place and as soon as possible the in- jured man was carried to Casey's drug store and medical aid sum- moned.
 Dr. Dwyer responded and did what he could to make the patient conl- fortable, but he had little hope of the recovery. His brothers, kl- phonse and Edmond were notified and they secured hack and went after him. He was unconscious all ,nfn nd In haf ct fpt a until he passed away at. quarter of 6 this morning. His brothers are stone cutters at St. Ann's church and came here from Holyoke eight months ago. They appear to be very respectable people and feel keenly the untimely fate that befell their brother.
 Miss Stone was working this noon when a reporter broke the news to her and on hearing it she swooned and had to be assisted to @ chair with the result that there was more or less confusion in the place on ac- count of the rush, it being the noon hour and everybody anxious to get something to eat and return to work, so that the news gatherer was lucky that he didn't get kicked out. After a drink of water and q short rest Miss Stone was able to go to her home. She complained during the morning of a pain in her side and had a notion that some of her ribs are fractured. Her explanation of the situation is that Souliero, with whom she had an acquaintance, in- vited her out for a ride and that ev- erything went along all right until the horse hit its hoof against tin can and then rushed down the hill at top speed. <.
 The funeral of the victim will be held Friday morning.

CABBAGE PATCH TAVERN.
Future Pilgrims to the Domictle of Mrs. Wiggs Will Find a
 Change.

Current reports from Louisville, Ky, Indicate the probability that future pilgrims to the shrine of that com munity, literary and otherwise, may pause for refreshment or inspiration at the Cabbage Patch inn. At least, says the New York World, Mrs. Wiggs is disposed to rent her shauty and the would-be lessee has asked for his H. cense. It has been observed by grave writers that public houses of enter tainment have often provided the haunts of those prominent in litera- ture and the arts. Chaucer cheered mine host at the Tabard Shakespeare, Ben Johnson and their fellows made merry at the Mermaid; Congreve and Wycherly had their revels at the Half Moon, and there are other famous ex- amples of England. For our own side of the water we have the literary tra- eltions of the Wayside Inn, we know of Irving listening to strange tales at the old Bulls Head in New York and we need not mention the late Subway Tavern, of brief but strenuous note.
 If inns may be the haunts of geni- us, they may as well commemorate transhgurations by genius. Mrs. wiggs underwent one of these. She was without distinction in her own side street till she was gathered on the point of a pen and placed between book covers. The accomplishment of realizing upon her in letters was note worthy. It is perhaps inevitable that they who go to the patch therefore to wonder shall remain to drink

FUR FARMING FOR PROFIT.
Noted Naturalist Tells What Are the Best Animals to
 Raise.

Fur farming offers a good chance for small capital. A man of experi- ence may put in s1,00s and get a re- markable percentage as soon as we'll started, says Ernest Thompson Seton. in Country Life in America There is no object in breeding cheap furs. A muskrat with his 15-cent pelt is al most as much trouble to raise as a $500 silver fox. Therefore, only the highcIass furs will be considered.
 What is the most valuable fur of all? No doubt the sea otter. Its ann pIe and magnificent robe brings now. I am told. from $500 to q 900. but the animal is SO rare that large fortune would be exhausted in getting the stock, ano nothing is known of the methods necessary for its propagation.
 Next on the list is the silver fox The black or silver fox is nothing but a black phase or freak of the com mon fox. just ss the black sheep is q color freak of the common sheep. A pair of pure red foxes may. have n black fox in their litter, and that black fox may grow up to be the par ent of nothing but red foxes. but a red fox vfH bring only a dollar or two and the silver fox q hundred times as much.

SKY ISCLEARING Germany May Make
 Concession. NO OFFICIAL REPORT Berlin Hears That Such is the Case But Paris Has No
 Confirmation of the
 Report.

Berlin, March 7.-Priyate conyer- sations between the German and French envoys at AIgeciras have brought them almost to an agree ment on the Moroccan police contro- versy, so near indeed that the for eign office, here regards a satlsfac- tory issue of the conference as as sured. Germany it is understood ac- cepts France and Spain as hav,ng the officers best fitted for policing Morocco and France accepts interna- tional control in principle, Under taking to supply adequate 6naran- tees that the police shall not be na- tional in character. It IS the specific form of these guarantees that re- mains unsettled and continues to be the subject for discussion. It is likely that an international inspeL- torship will be created consisting of a single officer of repuIe from a power other than France, Spain or Germany. One detail which cOnIin- ues to be discussed is tha pcopriaty of the inspector being located in a neutralized harbor. The ministers of the powers will also exercise gen. eral observation over the police.

A fierce struggle for supremacy in
the hand organ music world is being
waged on the South side between the
barrel organ trust and one Anton
Rocco, an independent producer, who
has entered the field with an improved
music-making device, says the Chicago
Daily News.
Everywhere that Rocco goes the
trust is sure to co." is the slogan OF
the trust, and when Rocco backs his
harmony machine against the curb and
begins to reel off yard or so cf "The
Maiden's Prayer" a trust machine is
quickly wheeled into position along
side and lets fire volley of "Alexan-
der" As usual in these fights of COM
bines, the consumers complain, the
public is the victim.
The scene of operations is between
Thirty-first and Sixty-third streets
and Cottage Grove avenue and Hal
sted street. Heretofore all barrel Or
gans used in this district we're rented
to individuals by the trust, which asks
a daily fee. but allows the exclusive
privilege Of the territory to go with
the machine All went we'll until word
was brought to headquarters that
there was competitor in the field
who gravely threatened the industry.
Not only does Rocco's machine pro
duce the familiar strains, but in the
popular songs the bars of the chorus
are punctured by bass drum and
cymbals.
The mandate went out from the
trust that Rocco must be made to
leave the territory and he was told In
no simple terms to "skiddooa," but
he only smiled. Later, he says, threats
were made, but he continued to make
his rounds, followed by throngs of chill.
dren. AS last resort the idea OF
sending another organ was formed.
His footsteps have been dogged, he de-
clares, by trust hirelings, and when he
makes stop another organ is placed
as near as possible to his machine to
confuse his music.

Never In yours" returned Alexis.
THAT I know. for you were his most
loyal defender from the first. But
here is my confession, dear. 1t was
my fault, and my fault alone, that
suspicion even fastened on him."
Your fault?" she questioned. You
never thought-you!"

dainful, half-incredulous.

And you spread them" she asked.
Not willingly" he said. Heaven
forbid! But men saw them and they
spread, as such things will, and when
poor Aloysius after long inquiry was
convinced that he had traced them
to me he taxed me with the fact.
There were circumstances which were
difficult to explain, but he condecend-
ed to make them clear to me, and l
have since done all could to undo the
mischief Of which l was the origin.
But he has never spoken to me from
that day until now, nor will he nor
can l ask him."
"Oh, Alexis! You? You so little
loyal to your oldest, dearest friend,
your companion for SO many years!"
Il shall not ask you to forgive me
either" said Alexis. There is only
one thing which can be urged in ex-
tenuation. There were circumstances
known to me alone, of all men, and l
was mad with fear lest they should be
divulged. That fear betrayed me.
That is ALL"
"You wished SO ardently to save
him from exposure that you led men
on to think him guilty? Is that a
very manly account to give of your
self, Alexis? l can only pray that IL

me more trustworthy friend"
He heard the rustic of a dress and
looked up, but she was gone.
