NEW YORK, MAJ 23.-England s
champion woman swimmer, Miss
Annette Kellermann, has come to
America with ambitions:
To swim the Mississippi and
Missouri rivers.

markable young woman. She has
been an expert swimmer since she
was IA.
For years-she is just out of
her teens-she has been regarded
as the leading woman swimmer of
Europe and has captured trophies
in several countries. Her father,
who accompanies Miss Kellermann
declares she is a bundle of
nerves." but this is not meant in
the American sense. She is nor
NAL, healthy type that shows a
complete lack of nervousness. She
holds the English coast swimming
record Of 20 miles from Dover to
Ramsgate. having covered the dis
lance in 4 hours and 20 minutes.
She also holds the worlds 100 yard

swimming, Miss Kellermann does
with ease back dives, double back
dives. somersault dives, bent dives
and fancy underwater strokes.

Talks with the officials and eX-
aiming physicians at Ellis island
reveal the fact that the general con-

is far above the average.
Comparatively few are being
turned back this year.
or course, as in years past, the
great majority of immigrants come
from Italy. They are mostly farm
hands and day laborers. At any
rate they are worries.
Commissioner Watchorn has not

NEW YORK, May 23.-This

says, the greatest volume of new

Two single day records have just

less than 10000 immigrants land

SHANNON NAILS.
BLACK FLYER

Residents In the vicinity OF Third
av. and Wall ST. were startled
about $50 o'clock this morning by
a colored apparition fleeing in panic
and night shirt before a police
man. Patrolman Bill Shannon
was the man behind. Despite his
years, Shannon climbed fences and
lodged around corners, hot on the
trail of the fleeing Phantom. He re-
peatedly called upon it to halt, but
that only added speed TO the flight.
Finally Shannon cOrnered his prey
in a basement of dwelling house.
Patrolmen Peabody and Shannon
had raided a colored joint al 6l'
Third av. AS soon as they entered
the front door a colored man. with.
ont waiting to dress, leaped ont of a
window and fled up the street.
Shannon gave chase while Peabody
remained behind to stand guard
over the negro's female companion.
When Shannon ran down his
prey he escorted him back to the
residence, where the prey became
obstreperous and it took several
blows over the head to tame him.
Bill" was equal to that head, but
it made him go some.
The man and woman were loaded
into the patrol and carried TO head
quarters. Here they gave the names
of Billy Jackson and Sadie Woods.
The woman occupies a room in the
Yale block They were charged
with vagrsncy and put in Jail with
orders that no bond be allowed.
This order was caused by the
threats against the officers life by
the negro, who said that he would
FIX" Shannon at the first oppor-
tunity.

BOSTON, May 90 An invention
for injecting anaesthetics through
the bottom of wdrships is the
means by which Carl M, Wheaton,
of Newtonville. hopes to stop all
wars. Wheaton says that he has
planned a submarine boat which
shoots sharp pointed tube
through the armor of the enemy's
vessel. To the end of this tube is
attached hose. through which,
when the projectiie is imbedded in
the bottom of the ship, the sub
marine forces certain anaesthetic
under strong pressure. The gas,
penetrating the shiF, he says, will
reduce every member of the crew
who breathes it to insensibility and
leave the vessel helpless.

PROPER SALARIES SHOULD BE
PAID.

The Review desires to be class,
ed with those who favor better sal
aries for congressman and SEN
ators. Salaries should be suffic-
iently large to enable these public
servants to live and support their
families with out having to resort
to practices which serve to mar the
record and minimize the usefulness
of such men as Senator Bailey.
Proper salaries should be paid and
these officers prohibited from pract-
icing law and their full service
given the public. Again better
salaries would command better
men.-Bilori Reriew.

Whether the Colorado South

Of speculation, and serious
doubt in the minds of railroad
contractors, and those who are
working on the road and have
kept up with the progress on
the construction without the
entire line.
While very good progress
has been made, the work is not
being pushed forward at a rate
that will insure its completion
within four months.
1t will be, according to the
present rate, impossible to COM
plete this road by April, and
will likely be several months
after that time before the final
spike is driven.
The work in the Atchafalaya
swampis necessarily very slow
and IS dependent to large ex-
tent upon the stage of the river,
AS the water has been high in

WOLVES INVADES TOWNS.

Winnigeg, Man, Jan s.
Emboldened by Aunger and the
inability to procure food in the
wilder parts of Northern Cana
da, wolves have begun to in
wade the cities and towns. So
vicious have these animals be-
come in their extremity that it
has bsen found advisable to sta
tlon guards here and there at
the outskirts of towns and to
form hunting parties for aggres-
sive action.
Cause for the invasion is
found in the heavy SHOWS that
mantle on the prairies and hills,
and the cold weather which &C
companies the snow. Twenty
years ago it was no novelty for
wolves to make predatory visits
to the settlements in this region.
The present visitation has
struck terror to the hearts of
people who did not live here in
pioneer days. Aside from the
novelty, one reason tor the pop
ular anxiety, is that the wolves
are unusually bold. In dozen
instances men have been freed
by them. Children have been
chased to their homes, and the
bravest dogs have been put to
rout, several of these having
been torn to pieces.
Saturday evening Willis I'm
dsrwood, a farm hand, walking
through the snow to this city,
was attacked by three wolves
and was forced to take refuge in
4 tree. He hung there several
hours while the hungry beasts
circles about the tree. He was
stiff with cold and exposure
when rescued by two farmers in
a wagon. The latter had pro-
vided themselves with guns for
Just such an emergency. They
killed one OF the beasts, and
the Others were frightened off
by the shooting. |
