ANOTHER ATTEMPT
At ASSASSINATION
Admiral Chouknin, a Marked
Man, Wounded by Bullet
and Taken to Hospital.
WAS ANOTHER CLOSE CALL
SEEM DETERMINED
TO REMOVE HIM ON ACCOUNT
OF HIS SEVERITY IN DEALING
WITH MUTINEERS.
Publishers Press1

Sevastopol, July 11.-An attempt
was made to assassinate Vice Admiral
Chouknin, commander of the Black
sea fleet The admiral was wounded
and was taken to hospital.
Chouknin has been blamed for
severity and it was his treatment
of the crews of ships under his COM
mand that caused the mutiny on board
the Kniaz Potsmkin, in June and July
last year. The admiral displayed con-
siderable activity in attempting to
capture the mutineers at that time
and in suppressing the sailors mutiny
at Sevastopol in November.
An attempt was made on the life of
the admiral Feb. g. A woman ap-
peared at his official residence during
day and sent in her card, saying she
was the daughter of rear admiral at
st, Petersburg, who was an old &C
quaintance of Chouknin. After enter
ing the admirals office the woman
drew a rapid-fire pistol and fired four
SHOlS at Hill, eaCn DulIeC reaching the
mark. AS she turned to escape, the
woman was killed by the orderly on
duty at Chouknin's door The crime
beyond doubt was political.
When the sentences imposed on
sailors of the Kniaz Potemkine mutiny
were before the admiral for review,
formal notice was served on him that
if he approved the death sentences
he would share the same fate.
Chouknin, however. approved the SEN
fences and several intimations after
ward reached him to the effect that
the terrorists were merely waiting for
a favorable opportunity to kill him.
Some time elapsed before the police
were able TO establish the identity of
the woman who attempted Admiral!
Chouknins life, but it finally became
known that she was Hebrew, named
Cecilia Shabad, 25, and a former mem
Der of the Hebrew bund of Minsk,
where her father was a well-to-do
merchant.

WANT TEMPERATE MEN
Street Car Line at Monroe, La, Will

Monroe, La, July lin choosing
motormen for what is believed to be
the first municipality owned and built
street railway in the United States,
the street railway here, Mayor A. A.
Forsythe said the first test for fitness
for the position will be total abstin-
ence from intoxicating liquors.
It is expected the railway will be-

markable feature is the fact that the
roads construction has not directly
cost the taxpayers a cent, all expenses
being betrayed by revenues from the
city's municipal waterworks, electric
light plant, wharves and other municip-
ally owned public utilities.

Some Peculiar Notions of "a Very Su

Some Peculiar Notions of a Very SUI
perstitiOus People.
"The Siamese are a very supersti-
tious people," says Ernest Young, au-
thor of the Kingdom of the Yellow
Rule" '"They have many peculiar ex-
plantations Of natural phenomena.
Thunder, for instance, is the sky cry
ing They believe that in the realms
above is a horrible giant whose wife
has violent and uncertain temper.
When they quarrel the echo Of his
voice comes in long, rolling notes from
the clouds. If he is very angry he
throws his Ratchet at his unruly spouse,
and when this ponderous weapon
strikes the floor of heaven the thunder
bolt falls through and comes to earth.
"Falling stars are accounted for by
the fact that the angels occasionally
indulge in torch throwing at one an
other. When these same beings all in
sist upon getting into the bath at once
the water splashes over the side and
it rains. The winds that sigh in the
night are the voices of babies that have
lost their way in their travels to the
land beyond the grave.
"When a Siamese dies he is not
buried, but his corpse, fully dressed
and then wrapped in a winding sheet,
is placed in a sitting posture in a cop
per urn. A tube is placed in his mouth,
and through this a mixture of quick
silver and honey is poured into the
body. In this way it is kept for a
long time, often for years. Eventual
ly it is burned, and the ashes are care
fully preserved. The souls of those
whose bones at least are not burned
are supposed to become slaves of
horrid taskmaster with a head like a
dog a human body and the temper Of
a fend. He sits for all time with his
feet in the fires Of hell, and it is the
duty of his slaves to keep these fires
from growing too hot. To do this they
must carry water in open wicker bas-

Mrs. Henry Dart died in Backus
hospital, Norwich, on Sunday from
gangrene caused from a broken leg.
She was taken to the hospital Decem-
Der %, being advised by her physi-
clans, who state that the fracture was
one of the worst of it's kind that. they
had seen. The woman after receiving
broken leg, presumably from fall,
had apparently made efforts to walk
or in some way regain her home,
causing the bones to gore into the flesh
and to protrude. There is some mys.
terry connected with the accident, if
such was the case, for by the death of
Mrs. Dart several stories are brought
to light, and no one seems to know
definitely just how it happened. 1t
is known that Mrs. Dart went to the
house of neighbors, three brothers
named Stranger. and that during the
evening other friends had been in
vited. General supposition is to the
effect that on returning from the
party Mrs. Dart fell over a stone or
into a ditch. thereby causing the
fracture. DR.. John ION of Mansfield
says that the fracture, as he had
learned from the family, resulted from
a fall. The remains were taken to
the home in Mansfield Depot yester-
day for burial. Mrs. Dart leaves a
husband and one daughter, Mrs.
katherine Pickett, of Willimantic. -

THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT.
Why It's Houses Were Built Upon the
River Bank.

Why It's Houses Were Built Upon the
River Bank.
Wellington once declared that the
most exciting moment of his life was
not in any of his great battles, but that
in which he had to forbid William ".
to attend a public banquet in the city
during time of great national excite
ment OF the millions of people who
every year see the English houses of
parliament, how many imagine that
their position was determined by stra-
tegic considerations? No one nowadays
can think of the palace Of Westmin-
ster in any other position than that
which it occupies. But when the old
houses were burned down and the task
Of rebuilding faced there was Il propo-
sition to establish them on or near the
site of st. James palace. Wellington
resolutely put down his foot on the
proposal.
The site suggested, it's advocates
pointed out, would be better as regards
centrality and convenience than any
other. But to the argument of the
duke there could then be no answer.
"With a vast and growing population,
such as yours in London" he said,
''you must never make it possible that
you can be surrounded. You must
build your houses Of parliament upon
the river, so that the means of ingress
and egress are safe and that the popu-
lace cannot exact their demands by
sitting down around you" Sir William
Fraser, in whose memoirs the story is
recalled, mentioned it to Napoleon III.
Just before the death of the latter.

domw And it set him musing upon the
different turn which the history of
France might have taken if in other
ways as great precautions had been
observed in his own case.-St. James
