Among the papers taken from the as

the murder of Car Paul of Russia in
1901 to the killing of the king of Por-
tugal within the last month. A minid-

the list, Guarnaccio declared had no sig

Burial at Paterson, NJ. J.

Tonight Father Eusebius, senior as
sistant pastor to Father Leo, received
a telegram from the father provincial
at Paterson, n. j., requesting that the
body of the murdered priest be
shipped there for interment. This will
be done, and in order that the body
may arrive there no later than next
Sunday, funeral services will be held
here on Wednesday morning. Though
the custom of the Franciscan order
permits of no eulogy of the dead at
funeral services of members, this rule
will not be followed in the case of
Father Leo, because of the tragic ma
tuTe of his death. Rev. Father Will
liam Organ of st. Leo's church will
deliver the eulogy over the remains of
Father Leo. and at the same time will
preach a sermon on anarchy and So

BEES MARK MANS COMING.
Wild Ones All Descended from Those
Once Domesticated.


All the honey bees in this country
having originally been imported from
Europe or Aisa. there is no racial diff
ference between the wild ones and the
domesticated; those that live In trees
are simply the descendants of those
that from time to time have taken
French leave" from their owners
hives and reverted to a state of ma
ture. The vast bulk of the wild bees
are OF the German or black race. while
the standard domesticated bee is the
Italian: but that. however. is only be.
cause the Germans were the first to
be introduced here Just when the
Germans came is in doubt, but 1t was
some time In the seventeenth centu-
ry: certainly 1t was not until near
the close of the eighteenth century
Mississippi. The Indians used to say
they could mark the advance of the
white man by the appearance of bees
in the woods. The Italian bees were
first imported in 1860 Better temper
ed and more Industrious than the Ge-.
mans, they have become popular with
apiraists; but as many still keep the
German bee. and others have the hy.
brid formed by the crossing of the
two races, while countless Italians
now have taken to the woods, there to
breed more hybrids, 1t is clear that
there is no sure way of distinguishing
between the wild bee and the domesti-
cated.--Outing Magazine.

little more than a legend. an Ameri

been to the City of Mexico on trad
ing expedition during the time that
Mexico was carrying on a war against
the French invaders, was attacked By
band of robbers near Guanajuato
He carried a large sum of money, and
this was taken from him. His cap
tors believed that he was In some
way identified with the French cause
and, in order to bring about his death
through horrible torture, instead OF
killing him outright, they threw him
into the chamber of the dead. 1t is
related that the depositing of body
in the vault five days later led to his
discovery and rescue. He was insane
His terrible experiences had been

that an American mining pan discov

contained much gold and silver. He
purchased all the houses in that part
of town and extracted the precious
metals from the walls. OF course
he had to tear down the houses to dc
this. 1t is said that the American

Peanut in eIrI,s Luna..

Owosso. Mich.-The case of the
three-year-old daughter of Paul Thiede
of this city is puzzling physicians.
Two months ago the little girl swal-
lowed a peanut, which lodged in her
windpipe. Her life was despaired of,
as it was supposed that she would die
from strangulation. Fighting con-
stantly for breath, the child survived
several hours, when her breathing
suddenly became easier
The peanut had passed on into her
lungs. She has been gravely Ill, but
her health is gradually becoming bet
ter. An operation to remove the pea
nut would probably be fatal. Physi-
clans think there is a possibility of
the peanut taking sprout and begin
