which Mark Twain Samuel l.. Glenn

Pilgrims luncheon In his honor. The
hosts numbered $50, many Of whose
names are known both sides Of the
Atlantic. Two notable speeches were
made, that of Chief Secretary for Ire
land Birrell, introducing Mark Twain,
which was classic and full Of humor,
concluding with tribute which
brought the company to its feet with
prolonged cheering, and Mr.. Clemens
reply, which was largely humorous.
The presence of Mr.. Birrell and
many other members of parliament
was particularly complimentary, be-
cause in order to attend they were
obliged to absent themselves from one
OF the most important and most inter-
esting debates Of the session.
The committee In charge OF the
luncheon was obliged to refuse the

New York, June 26.-Seven persons

family, were killed In the collapse Of q
ramshackle tenement In the dowr
town italian quarter. Three Other
members of the same family, includ
ing the father and mother, are in a
hospital painfully injured, but will re

There were some exciting scenes
Immediately following the accident
one of which was the rescue of an old

adjoining structure long enough tC

four hours that their bodies were re-

George Blumenthal, the contractor
who had charge of the recent repairs
and snoring up Of the building, was

That many more persons did not
lose their lives in the collapse of the
old building was due to two of the
younger occupants Of the house hav-

The boys reached home shortly before
2 a. m. and, warned by the severe
shaking and creaking OF the house,
ran through the building and warned
the sleeping tenants OF impending
danger Dozens of persons ran into
the streets in their night clothes and
many of them had scarcely gained the
street before the crash came.

EVIDENCE OF DEFENSE
Orchard Shown to Be Companion
Of Mine Owners Detective.
STAR WITNESS AGAIN CALLED
Basis for His Impeachment Completed
and Several Photographs Taken Be-
fcre His Reformation" introduced
and Shown to Jury.

Boise, Ida, June 26.-Counsel for
William D. Haywood devoted the early
part of the days session of court to
the completion OF the basis for Harry
Orchards impeachment with Orchard
on the stand and then, calling the first
witness, entered upon showing of
relationship at Cripple Creek prior to
the Independence station explosion be-
tween Orchard and X. G. Sterling,
then chief detective for the Mine Own
ers' association. The impeachment of
Orchard relates almost entirely to the
proposition that he repeatedly pro-
fessed that he had been wronged by
Governor Steunenberg and that when
he talked of his wrongs he invariably
threatened to kill Steunenberg.
Orchard positively denied that he
ever made threats against Steunen-
berg TO any Of the men, by whom the
defense plans to impeach him. at any
time or place
SiSItdtu oCt0TS
The defense offered In evidence two
OF the rogues' gallery pictures of Or
chard taken after his arrest for the
murder of Governor Steunenberg. The
pictures show Orchard in garb re-
sembling that of tramp, unshaven
and unkempt. Attorney Richardson
said the pictures were offered to show
the jury the condition OF Orchard at
the time of the murder as contrasted
with his appearance today. Judge
Wood admitted the pictures and they
were handed to the jurors, who exam
ined them closely. Another picture OF
Orchard In group OF three men, one
holding smoking revolver, was also
introduced In evidence by the de-
fense. The picture was taken In Salt
Lake City In 1901. Orchard said the
picture was taken as novelty.
Haywood continues an active par
ticipant In the conduct of his case. He
alertiy watches every witness and be-
sides offering numerous suggestions
to his attorneys makes extended notes
as the taking of testimony progresses.

O OUTANa EXTRA
CIRCULATION OF THE NEWS A
CENTURY AGO.
Old "~5roadside" Recently Found In
Boston Compares Oddly with
the Practical journalism Of
the Present Day.

An interesting example of the meth.
cd Of putting important news before
the public a century ago was found In
an old news-sheet, or "broadside" re-
Gently turned up in a secondhand
book dealers shop in Boston.
Any printer, whether he issued a
newspaper or not, got out broadsides
In those days, whenever he thought
an extraordinary piece Of news justi-
fed him in anticipating q profit. The
broadside was a sort of handful,
printed on one side only, and gener-
ally about s inches wide by Is long.
This was sold in the streets.
The subject of the broadside men
toned above was a hurricane which
swept the Massachusetts coast a few
days prior to Oct. Is, 1904, the date on
which the broadside was issued. The
heading is violent Storm" under a
black cut of the North church with
it's steeple topping, above which is a
row of collins. The rules are turned,
giving a mourning effect. The ac-

FORGOTTEN Ironsides.

The tyranny of Mr.. Haldane in re-
moving the Scots Greys from Edin-
burgh has brought to light again a
long ago forgotten incident of military
interest to Scotland. Years ago, in
Cromwelrs time, an island off the
coast of Scotland was g~arrisoned by
a number of Ironsides, and they were
actually forgotten. At any rate, the
troops were never withdrawn, and rec
ord AYERS that the men intermarried
with the islanders and became a part
of the local population. The fort
or rather the ruins of tin which
Cromwelrs soldiers were stationed
may still be seen by the curious

A Monster d

M. H. Ruiz, yesterday brought to
town the skin of the biggest wildcat
ever seen in this part Of the country,
says the Arizona Republican. He
killed it day before yesterday along
the Arizona canal. There were four
of the cats, one of them, says Ruiz,
bigger than the n he killed, but it
was not so ~belligerent.
This cat, instead of running away,
advanced upon him, growing and spit
ting. The animal was about to spring
when Ruiz shot, the ball taking effect
in the head, killing it instantly. The
skin was more than four feet from
tip to tip. The length of a wildcat is
mostly in it's body, for the tail does
not greatly affect the linear measure
ment. This cat was bigger than some
mountain lions and it was probably
more destructive.

ODD STONES AND GRAVES.
Peculiarities Existing in Various

There is a curious old gravestone

A stone in Westminster Abbey re-
cords the interment there of George
Graham, who was the only workman
that received the honor of being bur-
led in Westminster Abbey. He was
a scientific instrument maker, who in
100 invented the dead-beat escape
ment in clocks. His funeral was at
tended by the Royal Society in a
body.
In East Ham churchyard there is a
tombstone placed crossways. The
woman inferred is said to have been
born cross, lived cross, married a Mr..

request was to be buried cross, and
this was carried out.
AS to more ancient graves, that OF

the grave is merely a niche in the

Medicines N Pneumonia,

Dudley Morgan declares that there
are some cases of pneumonia which
require only intelligent and systematic
guidance and nursing. Others need
little medicine, but when it is indi-
Gated it should be given promptly and
energetically. Even in the most try
ing cases there is little else needed
than digitalis, strychnine, and ice. In
nearly all cases of pneumonia 1t is a
good plan to start with quiet and rest,
unloading of the bowels when neces.
sary, a variety of n%ourishing liquid
food, and an ice bag on the chest in
the region Of the pain and congestion,
and also over the %precordia if neces-
sary. Trying cases are those in which
the patient is a steady or hard drinker.
In pneumonia digitalis should be used
to strengthen and nourish the heart
and to reduce a rapid pulse.-Medical

1t is to be noted that exact informa-
ton is sadly lacking in these maritime
reports. This may be due in part to
the fact that one-third the space of
the broadside was needed for "a Poem
on the Late Hurricane" in IA verses.

And thunder roaring in the skies.
The gale increased from noon till night,

h Makina Pies.

Do not roll the paste too thin for
pies or it will be dry and ~tasteless
when baked. Divide the paste into
two sheets and spread m over the
bottom and sides of the tin. Now put
in the fruit, heaping it higher in the
center, and put v 1t the second
sheet of paste as a lid, pressing the
edges closely down and then crimp-
ing or notching them with a sharp
little knife.
When the fruit is juicy, place on the
center of the under crust a small COM
mon teacup, laying the fruit around
and over it. The juice. will collect
under the cup instead of between the
edges of the pie. The fruit should be
well sugared when placed in the pie.
Preserves should never be put into
covered pies.
Pies should be eaten the day they
are baked, if possible.
