RECALLED ROMANCE OF YOUTH.
pr. Martineau's Pleasant ReeolIec.
 t!ons of Years Gone By.

On the occasion of the ninetieth birthday of Dr. Martineau. who preached in Liverpool for many years, Sir Henry Roscoe, the English chem. ist. congratulated him on attaining such fine old age.
 The distinguished clergyman said that he had been overwhelmed with congratulations. and that he was working through the letters he had re- ceived.
 By degrees" he said, T shall an. swer them all.
 "One of the most remarkable" Dr. Martineau continued, was from a lady. the only person who addressed me as dear James, I had not seen her since we were boy and girl to. gether in Norwich. She is one of the daughters of Dr. Rigby in that city. My friends used to joke me as a young man about Miss Jane Rigby, and I received their chaff pleasantly.
 T believed her long since dead: and now comes this letter to remind me of her existence and her friendly recollection of me-"
 The old minister paused an instant, then added. with tremulous smile. She is now also in her ninetIeth year.'-Youth's Companion.

Several Persons Injured Some of Them Fatally in the Burn
 ing of a Rag Shop
POLICE TO THE RESCUE
Many of the Occupants Jumped Freq Second Story Windows While Others We're Carried Ouf
 By the Officers.

New York, Feb 4.-Seyeral per4 sons were injured, some of them probably fatally. while penned in the upper stories of a burning rag shop in Cherry street early to-day. All the occupants of the building were asleep when the fire was discovered. The interior of the building was filled with suffocating smoke when the dre- men reached the scene and none of the dozen occupants of the building could leave by the stairways. Maggie Smith, Annie Hesdon and several men jumped from second story win- dows. Some of them were caught in the arms of firemen and saved from serious injury, but Maggie Smith fractured both ankles and 1t is feared that Mrs Hesdon suffered . fracture of the skull.
 The firemen finally reached the attic where they found Daniel Cahill, his wife, Maggie Cahill. and Mary Hemlock unconscious from suff0ca- ton and so badly burned that 1t is expected the two women will not re- cover. The financial loss was small.

SERIOUS MENACE
Revolution in China is Growing and Great Fear Is Express
 Over the Outcome
DYNASTY MAY FALL

Victoria, B. C., Feb 1.-The steam CT Tartar, which arrived last night, brought advices that the revolution in central China is becoming a seri- ous menace to China. A junction be- tween the rebels of Human and Kwang Tung is threatened with the result that formibale rebellion will follow. Sun Vat Sen. the Kwang Tung rebel leader who escaped from the Chinese legation in London some years ago in a sensational manner. is living in TOkiO, Japan, and is organ izing the revolution, which, he says in an interview, is expected to achieve the fall of the present Manchu dynasty at Pekin within three years. The rebels hold all the mountain fastnesses on the borders of Human and Kiangsi and all attempts of the imperial troops to dislodge them have failed. In consequence of the rebel lion Chinese authorities at Shanghai are adopting vigorous measures to check the importation of arms and ammunition.
 Agents of the revolutionists have been sent to the United States and Europe to purchase warlike materi- als, says dispatch to the Asaki of Tokio, and collision has been found to exist between agents of the rebels and the traders to import arms under the guise of trade goods. To date 10000 imperial troops with cavalry and artillery have been sent against the rebels, but failed to achieve any thing. Advices from foreigners who visited the district says 1t is doubtful whether the revolution can be sup pressed should all the troops at the disposition of the government be sent. The leader of the revolution ists is Kung Cuntai, from Slang Tang. and placards issued by him state that the rebellion is aimed at the over throw of the Manchu dynasty. Signs of unrest are reported from many places in China. Dispatches to the Achai from Mukden state that an out break against the dynasty is extreme ly likely in Manchuria, where a bat talion of Chinese troops has mur- dered its officers. At Pekin excep- tional precautions are being taken, police and palace guards being dou- bled. Warnings have been sent by Viceroy Chang Chih Tung and Yuan Yang that large numbers of secrety society men from the Yang Tse val ley are focking to Pekin.

HORSE BREEDING FAILS.
Famous Berkshire Farms Are Now
 Almost Deserted.

Great Barrintgon, Mass. Feb 4.- Horse breeding in Massachusetts is declining and the announcement of teh removal of a well known stock farm near this town to Rye, N. Y.. marks the passing of one of the last of the famous farms of the Berk- shires.
 One reason given for the decline of the raising of blooded horses is the great influx of western horses in the past few years. The imported horses sold at reasonable price and for general purposes answered all re- Quirements. In addition there are now comparatively few trotting horses owned in this vicinity, and the place is not convenient to the great market of New York city. Housatonic is the nearest shipping point for many of the farms in this locality and the roads are generally so rough as to be considered dangerous for valuable horses. At one of the best known farms where 100 head of blooded stock were formerly kept there are now only two, including Burgomaster, with mark of 2:12. A few years ago Great Darlington was the home of many fast trotters.

LED DUAL LIFE
Bell Boy Discovered To Be \ Yonng Woman who Said She
 Was Forced to Do Ii.
LOVED ANOTHER GIRL.

Beaumont, Tex, Feb IA strange case of dual personality came to light here yesterday. On December IT of last year person apparently about 9 years old who gave the name of Perry Martin secured employment at the Oaks hotel as bell boy, remaining until last Friday. when it was learn ed that the sex of the emplOye had been disguised. Charged with mas querading. the young woman burst into tears and confessed her sex. She declared she had been compelled by circumstances to don mans apparel and pleaded to be retained. She vol unteered no statement as to her past life and career. and the manager of the hotel not allowing her to remain in his employ, she left yesterday for Houston.
 During her stay here she became popular among a circle of friends and on occasions would go to theaters and elsewhere with parties of young men.
 A. strange feature of the story of the young woman is her affection for young woman in New York city to whom she said she was engaged to be married.

The Managers Throughout New England 10 Form a Combi-
 nation For Mutual Interests
BLOW AT THE MENU
Unpronouncable Foreign Names to Co and English Words VIII Be Used Hereafter If Present
 Plans Materialize.

Springfield, Mass, Feb 4-Reforms n the menu offered to guests at New England hotels doing business on the American plan, with view to re- ducing the cost to landlords are con- templated by the organizers of the western New England Hotelmen's association which will hold its first meeting in this city next Friday. Thirty representatives of hotels in western Massachusetts and Connecti- cut have just held preliminary meet ing to launch the association, and while the name apparently limits it's field to western New England, the list of vice presidents announced in- cludes hotel men of each of the New England states. W. H. Chapin of this city IS president.
 According to the promoters of the organization the proprietors of the largesthOusesin thelast few years have continually added to the Amer ican plan menu in the effort to outdo one another until the profits of din- ner have been reduced to almost noth- ing and in some cases losses have frequently resulted. It is hoped that through the organization an agree ment may be reached by which the cost may be reduced but just what line such An agreement will take re- mains for discussion. Some of the hotel proprietors interested in the or ganization are said to be unreserved- ly in favor of doing away with the American plan and adopting the Flu rOpean plan exclusively but others declare that such change would mean loss of patronage to smaller houses.
 Another object of the association is to restrict advertising by forming an agreement to use only methods which bring distinct return for money invested and to decline schemes of doubtful nature. The simpliflcatlon of menu cards by the use of English words only and the abolition of French, German and Italian names of dishes, frequently misspelled and sometimes meaning less. is also among the reforms in- cluded in the objects of the assocla- tion.

 This Morning

PEACE IN SIGHT.
Vatican Has Not Net Accepted the
 New Conditions,

Rome, Feb 1.-The vatican author ities are most reserved on the sub- ject of the circular sent by NJ. Briand, the French minister of education, to the French prefects instructing them that contracts for the leasing of churches offered by the parish priests are acceptable, with modifica- tions. provided they do not violate the rights of the state. The Catholic officials here are waiting to see the effect of the circular before interpret ing its true meaning. but 1t is be- lieyed that if the necessary minimum Is insured the holy see will tolerate the situation. The officials of the vatican are rather satisfied with NJ. Briand's circular. considering 1t to be step towards pacification.

| prise by asking the court to exclude all witnesses except the experts. By
 doing this MT Jerome at one blow
 disclosed the fact that Mrs William Thaw and Mrs Harry Thaw are both
 to take the stand for the defense. On advice of Thaw's counsel they left the court room with all the other
 witnesses.
 May Mackenzie was included in the list and accompanied Mrs Harry
 Thaw into the court clerks office.
 Mrs William Thaw, who does not ex- pect to take the stand for several days, returned to her hotel. Thaw's mother Is expected to testify to the prisoners eccentricities as youth. The prisoner seemed greatly down. cast at the exclusion of his mother and wife. His only relatives left in the court were his brothers and his sister, Mrs Carnegie.
 The prosecution gave the court room another surprise when Law renee White. the son of the dead architect, was called as the first wit ness. Thaw again fastened his eyes on the table before him and did not again look at the witness.
 Young White said he was 19 years old and student at Harvard univer- sity. His mother, he said, now re- sides at Cambridge, near Boston.
 White was on the stand but few minutes. He told of accompanying his father to the Cafe Martin for din- ner and said that when he left him to go with his chum, a boy named King, to the New York roof garden, 1t was the last time he saw his father alive.
 Thaw's counsel did not wish to cross examine the witness who was allowed to leave the stand.
 The. other witnesses for the prose- cution were called on in rapid order. They were the eye witnesses of the tragedy and added little that was new to what has been long familiar reading to the public. The coroner who performed the autopsy was also called. The case of the people rested at 12:45 and a recess was taken until ? o'clock when Attorney John E. Gleason began the opening address for the defense.
 Attorney Gleason began his ad- dress to the jury at 2:O5, saying that the defense would be based upon the constitution and law of the imperial state of New York. He said: You must disabuse your minds of any idea that the defense in this case will rest upon anything but the con- stitution and laws of the imperial state of New York. You must dis miss all ideas that we are to import into this case any so-called higher or unwritten law. We will rely up- on all the defenses that the law al- lows. One of the laws on trial is the law of insanity and 1t will be shown that Thaw believed he was acting upon dispensation of Providence when he shot and killed White. It will also be shown that the defen- dant had suffered from temporary and emotional insanity for years"
