TYPICAL SOCIALIST.
This young man is a typical specimen
of the product which the Fabian sum-
mer school expects to turn out by the
dozen and by the score. He is not of

depose from power the class from

SHAW Is a FACTOR.
The leading spirit in the Fabian
scheme for manufacturing aeitators is
George Bernard Shaw, the playwright

England has started summer school
in Wales for the training of Socialist
agitators on scientific lines.
The only people who are really get

n N ONTE CARLO, Aug. 14.--As I
write there continues to crop
up further details concerning
the chief characters in the In
famous trunk murder which for days
has thrilled three continents.
As American readers have gathered
from the cabled reports this Monte
Carlo crime is one of the most amazing
and atrocious known In Europe. 1t takes
rank with the Guldensuppe case of
New York the Luetgert crime of Chi
Cago, the BirChall murder Of Canada
and the Qreller trunk horror of ST.
Louis.
The police of many countries have
untangled the skeins of mystery
surrounding the crime which for the
moment has made fair Monaco hideous
IN the eyes of the world.
The unravelled threads lead from
Monte carlo In all directions-to the
United States and Canada, 10 Austria
lia TO Denmark, 10 England, 10 France.
There IS no romance 10 tighten the
horror of the crime-the motive was
just robbery.
There are two outstanding points in
the evidence gathered by the authors

woman. visitor to Monte Carlo, had
been picked out as the VlcuIn ana put
for her husbands refusal TO allow her
To associate with the criminals, this
American woman might have been
butchered instead OF the Danish victim.
one other point is that the nurderers
presumably conceived the mode or
their crime from the examples OF AM
ericau murders.
The accused couple lived In Montreal.
They travelled la the United Statos and
the police believe they knew the his
tories OF the American crimes which 1
have pareleled. They are SAID also

"FLANNELED FOOLS"

Since Kiping wrote his famous lines
about "ilapneled fools at the wicket
and "muddicd OATS at the goal" there
has been Il strong tendency in some
circles to depreciate devotion to sport
as fatal to excellence in more serious
pursuits. Hesketh Prichard is a shin
ing example of the contrary, He made
a success In literature long before he
ever thought of success in cricket. He
was only ~ when he made his way into
the ultra exclusive Cornhill Magazine,
and since then he has gone far. Prob
ably the general public knows him best
as the creator Of Don o." the fas-
cinating Spanish brigtnd But Mr..
Piichard has done other work which
has won him high praise from the fas-

 Better Accommodations.

The bar association held meeting in the district court this morning to consider means to be taken to induce the general assembly to make an ap- propriation to give better accommo- dations in tEe court house building. President John O'Neill presided and Clerk s. J. Marsh of the superior court was clerk.

There they are asking an appropriation of $200,00O and not . cent less will be accepted. If the local bar manages to get half that
 m the building will either be given another story or extended on the north side. If another story is put on an elevator will be installed and a man to run IL will be necessary.

JUMPED TO HIS DEATH
H. P. Prolhingham Deliri0us
 From Nervous Breakdown.

NEW YORK. Feb. 4..-Howard r. Frothingham, who while dellriots from . nervous breakdown jumped from the second story of his home in Seventy. seventh street, died just before mid night.
 Nervous strain, due to recent re- verses in Wall street, is believed to have caused the despondency which re- suited in the deed. MT. Buckingham was one of the best known men in the financial district.
 He had passed his forty-6fth birth day and was native of New York city. He was probably the biggest and best known loan banker in the country, lending more "calr money annually than any other man or firm. He handled money for nearly all the largest financial institutions, and his acquaintance In that line was almost universal. He had a summer home at Deal Beach, N. J.
 Recently his physician persuaded him to take rest, and Mir. Frothing- ham went tD Atlantic City. where he stopped n few days. Returning to his home here, he was ordered to bed and nurses stationed in constant attend ance. When one of the nurses opened window in the sickroom Mir. Froth- ingham sprang from his bed and. thrusting aside one of the nurses who had seized him, jumped from the win dow. He fell to the area, allghting on the back of his head, receiving a com pound fracture at the base of the skull.

Smallpox Now.

Victoria. B. C.. Feb 4.-Further advices from the famine district of central China received by the steam snip Tartar state that smallpox has broken out in the camps and in con- sequence oficials are breaking them up. The people are numbed by suf- fering and patiently submit to being driven. Telegrams to the Jiji Shippo say upwards of half million people will die of starvation or disease incl dental to the terrible conditions pre- vaillng in the famine districts. Re- lief measures are stated 10 be in- efficient and the filth amid which the famine stricken people live is de- scribed as shocking. No sanitary measures of any kind were adopted and it was inevitable that a pestilence should follow.

Body of Miss Frances Martin Found
 In Forest Building.
 WASHINGTON, Pa., Feb. 1.-The body of Miss Frances Martin, eighteen years old, was found in a room in the Forest building in North Main street here at an early hour. Whether she was murdered has not yet been deter mined.
 A young man named John Innes. with whom Miss Martin attended the Lyric theater the night previous. has been arrested and is being held to await the action of the coroner.
 The body was discovered by John V. Cook, stage manager of the Lyric the ater. which is across an alley from the Forest building, in which Cook lives. There are indications that the girl died late at night in the Lyric the ater building and that her body was then taken across a little bridge which connects the theater and Forest build ing.
 Cook and his wife say they cannot account for the presence of the body in their room, as they did not know Miss Martin nor had they ever seen her before.
 A postmortem examination was held by Dr. shannon, but he refused to make statement. There were no marks on the body indicating violence. Coroner w. H. Sipe and District At torney Underwood. who investiga ted the case, say 1t Is mystery. Miss Martin formerly lived at Indiana. and 1t Is said her mother and sister still live there.
