Dehornine a RhinoesrOs.

A rhlnoceros which lived in the Lon.
don zoo was troubled by its horn,
which grew down in front Of its mouth,
so that only with difficulty could it eat
or drink. To save its life the keeper
decided on amputation. The horn Of a
rhinoceros is not horn at all, but an
accumulation OF hair and skin which
has hardened and become cemented to-
gether by some gummy substance. The
owner OF this one had a very touchy
temper and was not easily approached.
Its keeper, however, decided to try
what he could do For some days 1t re-
quired all his skill to persuade the
beast to come TO the front of the cage
and put its horn through Then for
some days he stroked the horn. much to
the animals disgust at first. although
later it seemed to like It. When Il
found he meant no harm It let him take
the horn in his left hand and then with
the right initiate the motion OF a saw
across 1t. When this had been done
some time and the rhinoceros no longer
minded 1t. piece of wood was held In
the right hand. and at last, when even
this no longer worried the animal. a
real saw was brought in and the horn
cut Off without the slightest remon-
STRANGE from the owner of 1t.

INSANE CRIMINAL CAUGHT.
Chased by Officers on Bicycles Early
 Yesterday.

Cranston, R. l., June 27.-Frank Weeden, regarded as one of the most dangerous insane criminals in Rhode Island, who escaped from the state hospital for the insane here late Sat urday night, has been brought back to the institution. Weeden was cap- tured in Auburn early yesterdas after chase by two officers mount ed on bicycles.
 Weeden has been an inmate of the insane hospital since July, 1902. when he was transferred there from the state prison after he had served about five years of an eighteen year sentence. He was sentenced for the attempted murder of Miss Daisy Coulters, his cousin, to whom he had offered attentions, at Auburn, in Oc- tober, 1896. Two years prior to his attempted murder of Miss Coulters he was sent to the insane asylum for threatening to kill Grace Lentz, after she had refused to marry him. He remained there eighteen months, when be was discharged as cured"
 About one month before the shooting the Coulters' home was burned to the ground by fire, be- lieved to be of incendiary origin, and in the light of later events the re- sponsibility was unofflcially attached to him. -
 Miss Coulters, who was thought at first to be dying, recovered from her wounds. but still suffers from the se- were shock of her experience.

THE HAGUE
First Committee on Arbitration Mel To-Day and Heard Text
 of Concluded Treaties.

The Hague, June 27.-The first subcommittee (arbitration) of tho first committee (arbitration) met to- day. M. Bourgeois. who presided, read a communication from the Pan American congress. held at Rio Jan eiro, announcing the results reached on the subject of arbitration and ex- pressing the wish to see these princi- pies adopted by the conference in a manner corresponding with the in- terests of the civilized world. The Argentine delegation submitted the text of all the arbitration treaties concluded since the conference of 1899, and began reading the arbitra- tion convention of 1899. M. Bour- geois pointed out that the conference is diplomatic assembly and not a parliament, adding that the reading of articles did not imply their adop- tion.
 Eight articles were read without observations except from Joseph H. Choate, who proposed the addition to article of part two the words ''and to the desirable end," that the signatory powers should offer their good offices and mediation.
