JEW BATTER Is
DYING IN VIENNA.
DR.. Carl Lueger Has Been the Burgo-
master There for Fifteen
Years

VIENNA, Nov. 10.-Dr. Carl Iueger.
the notorious Jew-baiter and for fifteen
years past burgomaster of Vienna, is
reported to be dying.
He has long been suffering from a
complication of diseases. but recently
his condition was rendered more critical
as q result of an injury he received in
mountain climbing.
Is Picturesque Figure.
The death of DR.. Lueger would remove
from the field of Austrian politics its
most picturesque figure and one who has
contributed more to the political turmoil
in the dual monarchy during the past
two decades than any other one person.
Ten years ago his power was such that
it was seriously stated that he would
oyerturn the monarchy and found n pa
triarchal government, with himself as
chief patriarch. Of late years he has
somewhat declined in prominence,
though his anti-Semitic propensities have
show an abatement
Lueger perhaps does not dislike the
Jews any more than he does the Aus
TRANS, and violent anti-Semnte policy
probably WAS mere Dretense to catch
the votes of the people. He tried all
sorts of experiments before he became a
success in politics.
Once Fought Catholics.
AS a student he fought vigorously for
the Roman Catholic clerics and got him
self disliked for it. His clerical patrons
then advised him TO become a lawyer.
He followed the advice. turned against
them and talked freedom. anti-capital-
ism and socialism to the people. Find
ing that denunciation of the priests and
socialism did not win with the people,
he raised the cry of Down with the
Jews" not because of their religion,
but because of their financial supremacy.
This policy, he found, immensely
pleased not only the people, but the rich
Austrians, too. and even his old friends,
the clergy. Lueger mixed with the poor,
preached anti-Semitism to them, won
their hearts. and was secretly sympa-
thized with by the wealthy but narrow
minded commercial classes, who dis
liked to openly avow their antipathy to
the Jews.

Smoke, Vapor and Flames Reported
Coming from Culebra Mountain
in Colorado.

TRINIDAD, Colo, Nov. 1O.-CuIebra
peak, west Of Stonewall, Colo, is re-
ported in a state of eruption.

hundreds of feet high, were shooting
into the air from the supposedly extinct
volcanic cone.
The peak is in the Sangre de Christie
range and is one of the loftiest in the

timber line, so that a forest fire is con-
sdered out of the question.
