THE MYSTERY OF KURoKI.
Japan's General is Said to Be Sir Hee-
tor Macdonald

ter Macdonald
The statements In the bruce case
with regard to the alleged trick burial 1
of the fifth Duke Of Portland are not /
without parallel. and there are sew
eral mysteries Of the kind which have 4
never been cleared up.
At the time Of the Japanese success
IS in the late war IT was verify believ- i
ed by the natives of our eastern en- !
pire that General Kuroki. that marvel. !
Gus japanese commander, was no 9th !
er than Sir Hector Macdonald.
Certainly there are large number I
Of people alive who have never be- /
lieved that the gallant general really /
Is dead. In fact there appeared in
the Times reward Of 5000 offered
to anybody who had seen the dead
body. There is also the fact that the
general was once invited 10 90 to ia
pan to train the Japanese army. He
actually mentioned the offer to Lord
Roberts.
One the other hand. there is assured
~ vast deal OF mystery concerning
the personality of KurokL The Japa-
nese have acknowledged that there Is
much foreign blood In him. while an
American war correspondent stated
that he was a Dutehman.
Still. in the eastern baZaars II was
generally credited that he was Fight
ing Mac" who had undergone trick
burial. and these rumors spread with
that celebrity which invariably battles
the western mind
Also it has been stated that Flight
ing Mac" has been seen alive in Paris
and that his coffin really contained
nothing bat stones The generals wild
ow, however. has emphaticslIy denied
the allegation and has referred TO many
well known persons who knew her
husband and saw his body.
The Westminster coroner has stated
that many mysterious buriaIs take
place and that doctors certificates have
often been granted on grounds which
certainly were not justiiable.
According to present methods, there
is no supervision over the certificates
issued by medical men, and there are
many instances in which pressure has
been brought to bear on doctor by
the wealthy and influential to suppress
the truth.
There are also many instances In
which crime has occurred when GER
tificates of death have been given
without any form Of independent In
quiry. 1t is notorious that there are
many ways which cannot be specified
here by which body can be buried
without registering the death at all
and without any medical certificate be
ing given.
All the statements just given are
based upon the coroner's experiences,
and he has stated that in one case
doctor wanted to certify that patient
had died OF heart disease. When an
examination Of the body was made,
It revealed the woman with a dagger
through the heart-a rather peculiar
form OF the complaint
The fact TO be noted is that where
wealthy and influential families are
concerned there are sometimes ways
and means Of suppressing facts with
regard to evidence Of death.-London

WEDDING BELLS.

One of the prettiest weddings
this summer was that of Mr.. Don
Register, young attorney of Flo
rida, to Miss Fannie Kelso, one of
our pretty and accomplished bellies.
The marriage ceremony was per-
formed at the Methodist Church
by Rev. John Scholar, pastor of
the little church which was beau
tifuliy decorated with flowers and
ported plants, an arch of white ro-
ses from which was suspended a
wedding bell of white roses was
erected at the end of the main
aisle under which the bridal par
ty stood during the marriage cere-
mony.
Miss Kelso who is a tall aud
and pretty blonde entered the
church leaning upon the arm of
her father, Mr.. Scott Kelso, pre-
coded by several little flower girls
aud her maid of honor, Miss Co.
cile Durand and were met by the
groom who was awaiting in com
pany of MIR. Emile Soulier his best
man.
Before. during and after the &C.
remoDy several vocal and instru-
mental selections were rendered
which added much to the impress
siveness aud brilliancy of this
beautiful ceremony.
After the church ceremony
reception was held at the home of
the brides parents where the
young couple received the congra-
tulations of their numerous friends
Miss Kelso was one of our %.
teemed and popular young ladies
and this was best proven by the
very large attendance at her mar
risge and the numerous valuable
presents she received.
Mr.. and Mrs. Register drove to
New Iberia the same day to take
the train for their home iu Flori-
da, carrying with them the best
wishes. we may say, of all the peo-
pie of St. Martinville, for their
happiness and prosperity.

Standard Oil Company Begins New

Chicago, May 8.-The Standard OIL

new fight to escape from the payment
OF the fine of s29,240, 900 levied against
1t by Judge Lands in the United
States district court when its attor-
neys appeared before the United
States court of appeals to argue the
appeal from the judgment Of the lower
court. The hearing consumed the
greater part of the day. y $780,.
The opening argument for the COM
pany was made by John s. Miller. Mr.
Miller declared that a reversal should
be granted because, according to his
statement, the oil company did not
know that it was using illegal rates
and that each trainload Of the com
pany's product should have been taken
as the basis of shipment instead of
each car as charged in the indictment
under which the company was con-
victed. ,s..-.
