MENAcED BY CONSUMPTION.
King Alfonso Will Probably Submit to
an Examination.

Madrid, Oct. 26.-The alarming re-
ports circulated earlier in the month
regarding the health of King Alfonso
appear to be confirmed. 1t is under
stood that the king, who will travel
under the strictest incognito as Duke
of Toledo during his coming visit to
London, will submit to the examina-
ton of a specialist in tuberculosis,
from which disease his father died.
The kings open-air life has thus far
kept the hereditary disease in abey-
ance and an operation was performed
on him recently in the hope OF check
ing the frowning symptoms of con-
sumption.

STRIKE OF SHORT DURATION.
New Orleans Levee Men Quit Four
and One-Half Hours.

New Orleans, Oct. 26.-Ten thou
sand cotton and freight handlers went
on a strike, which lasted four and one
half hours here Friday They were
the men who returned to work Friday
morning, after nearly a months long
sympathetic strike against the local
steamship interests.
Fridays strike was also sympathetic,
called because part Of the returning
men refused to sign a three-year con-
tract with the Illinois Central rail-
road.
The strike was settled by the rail
road withdrawing its demands at the
solicitation of Mayor Behrman, who
declared that by standing firm the
railroad might ruin the port, at least
temporarily.
The disputes which caused the
strikes will now be settled by an in
vestigation of port conditions.

Pieces Of Nimrod's Body Are Found.
One Man Missing-Damage Done
Will Amount to Thousands
OF Dollars.

Lorain, O., Oct. 28.-An explosion
of dynamite which rocked the city 10
it's foundations occurred here, In
which one man was killed, another Is
missing and every building at South
Lorain, including the big plant of the
National Tube Co., were damaged t
the extent of thousands of dollars.
The explosion was felt in Berea,
Elyria, Lakewood and in Hudson, and
the conclusion was so tremendous
that every building in the city rocked.
The people were panic.stricken and
the police and fire department were
called upon to quiet the citizens.
The explosion was caused by a mai
shooting into 1000 pounds OF dyna-
mite in a storage plant at Seventeenth
avenue and Pearl street. Small pieces
CT his body and the remains of a snot-
gun were found neal the wreck OF the
building. 1t is believed that the man
who caused the explosion had been
hunting in the vicinity, as shots In the
woods were heard shortly before the
explosion.
An immense hole was torn in the
ground and big oak trees were up
rooted and driven several feet into
the earth.
The force Of the explosion was felt
mostly on Pearl street, the central
commercial throroughfare of the city.
Store fronts were demolished and ev-
cry pane ef glass in town was roken
The stacks of the big foundries were
thrown out of plumb, and in the dis
trict near the scene of the explosion
neople who were walking in the streets
were thrown to the ground.
Church Is Twisted.
The Vincent Methodist Episcopal
church was badly twisted. Several OF
the half-hundred stacks of the Nation
al Air Tube works were blown down,
and the big brick stacks Of the Thew
Shovel works, the Lorain Casting and
Foundry and the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad shops were damaged.
Outside of the steel plant district,
the force of the conclusion was felt
most on Penfield avenue. The fronts
| of stores were shattered. The Dorth-
ern part of the city escaped with moth
ing but broken windows. Windows at
Berea and as far east as Olmstead,
near Cleveland, relt the effects of the
conclusion. The damage done the big
| steel plant will amount to thousands
of dollars.

wounding it. The lion was finally
driven into basement at the corner
of Peachtree and Marietta streets,
where its keeper captured it.
The audience at the theater knew

TOWEL FOR A
FLAG OF TRUCE,
Historical Statements in Connection
With Lees Surrender.

In a letter, published on April g.
the forty-second anniversary of Gen
eral Lees surrender-a correspondent
of the Indianapolis News, says: Nov,
Hanging on the wall of the home of
the writer, in this city. neatly framed
under glass, is small piece of white
cotton toweling, about two inches
long and an inch wide 1t was a
piece of the white towel used as a flag
of truce in announcing General Lees
readiness to surrender. Clean towels
were not abundant in either army in
those days, but this was an emer-
gency that required a white flag, and
one was found. The flag of truce was
received midway between the two
armies by General Custer, the cavalry
commander, and was retained by him
as a souvenir. A day or two after
the surrender he sent it to his wife,
who was then in Washington, and she
gave the writer the piece he now has, T,
cutting it from one corner. Several
days after the war the flag of truce
was loaned by Mrs. Custer for exhibit |
ton at charity fair in Boston, and |
attracted much attention. There was
many inquiries about the missing
piece in the corner of the towel, and
the explanation was made in a Boston
paper that it was cut out by Mrs.
Custer and given to afriend, day or
-wo after the flag came into her

WORN AWAY
BY HANDLING

The touch of thousands of human
4, hands for more than score of years
every week day in the rear has worn
away a portion of one of the exhibits
of wood at the Smithsonian Institu-
ton. The exhibit in question is a
carreta or OK wagon and stands in
the east wing of the institution. The
part of the axle that has been worn
away simply by the admiring touch
of thousands of visitors protrudes sew
eral feet, and is easily reached. The
wonderful smoothness of the wood
which has slowly but surely been worn
away is the result.
The old OK wagon is made entirely
piece of metal. 1t was built by
Pueblo Indians and is the style used
in New Mexico and Arizona. The de-
sign is that introduced in this coun-
try by the Spaniards many years ago.
1t is a clumsy affair, with two wheels
that are far from being round. For
many generations, however, this sort
of cart answered the purpose of tran-
portation for the Pueblo Indians as
well as other tribes.
The axle that has been worn away
is directly under the sign giving all
account of the origin and history of
the OK wagon. While reading nearly
every sightseer rests his hand upon
the wood, perhaps doing little knock
ing for good luck, and perchance
picks a splinter Anyway, the axle
end has been worn away and today is
as mooth and as shiny as billiard |
ball. washington Herald.

The law is not good as against a

E. Allison, agent OF the Southern Elk

with officials of the company and
counsel, yesterday. THE decision of

covers this one precisely. In this
case the United States Court went so
far as to hold that Ohio shippers could
send whisky into Kentucky dry terri
tory C. o. D., to remain in the office
until the consignee paid for it,,
The law will be good, as against
shippers in the State, according to
legal opinion, but this will avail moth
ing rs long as Bristol has the saloons,
as nearly all of the whisky that goes
there is shipped from here, and while
the express Office is in Virginia and
the saloons in Tennessee, it is held
that the former has the right to go
INTO Tennessee and get the packages
% be shipped from its Offices in Vir-
