OVERLAND WIRE TO SOUDAN.
Telegraph Lines to Link French Pos
sessions in Africa.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
CAIRO, December 31.-The idea of link
ing the French Mediterranean possessions
by an overland telegraph line to the
Sudanese colonies of West Africa seems
likely to be realized in the immediate flu
ture France will not have long to wait
for the counterpart of the British cape-to-
cape telegraph line. While, however, the
British wire traverses foreign territory
the Belgian Congo and the German East
Africa-the French line will not leave
French soil. In case of war this will I'M
doubtedly be an immense advantage.
After a prolonged study in the desert NJ
Etennot, director of posts and telegraphs
of the department of Oran, has returned
to Algiers with all of the details of the
plan worked out. The head of the Trans
Saharan telegraph line will be at Adrar,
the little capital Of the territory of GASES,
200 kilometers from the coast.
Between Adrar and Burram on the Niger
the Trans-Sahar telegraph line viii trav-
erse about LOO ldlometers, one section
in Algerian territory up to TimisSau, the
second, the Sudanese section up TO the
French post on the river The difficulty
of construction will be confined to these
two sections, for it is a Tuareg country,
where, moreover, water is rare, through
out the 900 kilometerS-One section in
Algerian territory up to Timissau, the sec
ond. the Sudanese section, up to the
French post on the river.

KILLED WITHOUT CAUSE.
Brutal Murder of a Missionary in
New Hebrides.

Special Cabegram to The Star.
SYDNEY, n. S. W, December 31-News
has just reached here from New Hebrides
of the remarkable manner in which the
murdered Anglican missionary, the Rev. c..
C. Golden, met his death Mr.. Golden was
stationed at Aoba Island The murderer
had served several years imprisonment in
irons in Queensland on a charge of at
tempted murder and resented his treatment
so much that he vowed that he would MUIR
der the first white man that he met on re-
turning to his own country.
The outrage took place at the extreme
northern end of Aoba, where Mr. Golden
had travelled to visit the assassin. The
murderer engaged In conversation with the
missionary, but Mr.. Golden was leaving
the hut, stealthly creeping up behind him
and pointing a rifle close to his body, the
weapon was discharged. The bullet shat
tered the missionary's thigh and In Grip
pied condition he made a frantic attempt
to escape.
Following his victim, the ged native
made a desperate rush at Mr.. Golden final
ly killing him by means of the tomahawk
A native attached to the mission arrived on
the scene at that moment and carried the
body of the missionary to his own hut He
then gave information which led to the ar
rest of the murderer.

WOULD SAVE FAVORITE SPOT.
Roman Artists Object to Building in
Borghese Gardens.

Special Cablegram TO The Star.
Rome, December 3I.-The Roman artists.
supported by the most cultured class Of
Roman citizens. are making a desperate
fight against a proposal to erect the new
international institute of agriculture in
portion of the Borghese Gardens, which
has hitherto been left untouched and I'M
spoilt by Improvement. They do not OBJ
iect to the determination to place the new
building in the Villa Gardens, since the
government and municipality have agreed
in selecting that as the cheapest site. but
they do protest against the selection of one
of the most beautiful corners that the gar
den still possesses and the absolute ruin of
a scene which is dear to every artist and
lover of Rome.
The artists point out that such a choice
is unnecessary, as the gardens offer many
other sites which are at once more suitable
and less destructive of their natural beauty.
In spite of numerous meetings, signed petit
tons and other methods of eXertlng the
pressure of public opinion, the authorities
have not stayed the work until a consd-
cradle number of the beautiful old pines are
cut down. The mischief. however. is not
irrevocab!e, and Rome is still appealing
against its final completion. The inter
national institute would be welcome in any
other spot as the Romans say the nations
whom II will serve will only feel regret il
its erection is the cause of such a sacrifice.

LONDON, December 31.-The miners OF
Coalisland are panicstrcken by what they
declare to be a ghost which is evncing

a chestnut tree near the mine. The apart

the customary garb of white, began her

stroke of midnight she was seen gliding
down a lane near the pits mouth. When
she reached the tree she knelt in prayers
and remained on her ghostly knees until
the clock struck 4, when she resolved her.
self into thin air.
Every night since then she has repeated
the program with business-like regularity
and has got on the miners nerves to such
a degree that some of them declare that
they would rather lose their work than go
on night duty. The local clergy were skep-
teal at first. but those OF them who have
visited the place are now prepared to ad-

tradition has IL that mass was celebrated

The Brownsville daily herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1897-1910, 1906-09-13
Story of Four Flies.

Upton Sinclair, author of The
Jungle, told at a dinner in New
York, apropos of the pure food
laws. story of four flies.
-Four flies, four brother flies, "
he said, set out into the world,
one summer day, to seek their for
tunes.
Up and down they flew, and
finally, a window being open, they
found themselves III a large, de-
ligftful room. There was a great
white table in the middle of the
room, and on it many tempting
viands were spead.
The first fly, with buzz of
delight, settled upon a dish of
lovely, amber-colored jam. He
ate his fill. Then, with a low cry
of agony, he expired. The jam,
alas, was adulterated with cop
peras.
The second fly saw in his COM
rade's fate a moral. LuXuries, he
reasoned. were deadly. He would
stick, therefore, to the plainest,
simplest things. And so he fell to
upon a crust of bread, and in
another moment breathed his last.
The bread was adulterated with
alum.
The third Ay was so grieved
over the fate of his two comrades
that he resolved to drown his sor-
rows in drink. There was a glass
of beer handy. He settled in it
greedily. But the beer was adul-
terated with cocculus indicus, and
in less than a minute the fly, quite
dead, foated with limp wings on
the surface of the amber fluid.

without my three dear brothers?
I'll kill myself
And he slipped a little of the
poison. It was palatable, even ap-
petizing. Resolved to make a good
job of it, he drank greedily, and,
still drinking, awaited the end.
But the end did not come. The
fly poison, like everything else in
the room, was adulterated. The lit

Such was history. The moral

sick people. Give them all the
rest possible. If you can be of
any service out in the country,
see the doctor and family then,
if needed, give your assistance.
Call at the home as often as you
please and inquire, but do not go
in crowds as though you expect

is often worse than want of at

not eat anything sent. The fact
they are remembered does them
good. If they know that you are
