 Paris, May 9-Gold in such Quan- titles that hundreds of millions of dol lars worth of the yellow metal has been discovered in French Guiana by the traveller Captain VilIiaume who has just made his official report to the government.
 The gold deposits in the Western part of French Guiana surpass in value any goldfields ever discovered, Captain Villiaume says, and the territory ex- plored covers nearly one million acres. What makes tha new goldfields even more valuable is the fact that they are easily reached and that 1t will cost practically nothing to mine the gold which is found almost pure a few inches below the surface and the deep- CT you go down the richer the veins seem to grow.
 'In a depth of fourteen metres I found in one single cubic metre of sand nearly 1,2o0 grammes q 1-4 poundsl of gold he says.

Paper praken Confe.rion.

That a great newspaper publicly cries: Pater peccavi' and confesses to It's readers its own editorial mis- takes. is thing which does not hap pen very often, but 1t is just what The ''Deutsche Tagesqetung" did the other dav.
 Under the heading "A Confession E the paper says:
 Hitherto we have always declared that the increase in the prices of the necassaries of life in Germany was due to Protectionist tariffs. and that coun- tries in which free trade exists do not suffer from increased prices. We now know that in England, in spite of free trade. the prices of the necessaries of life have increased in recent years on an average of three per vent.
 During 1906 the increase was 5.3 per cent, and In 1907 three per cent that is more than eight per cent with in two years.
 "we ascertain from this that the in- creased cost Of some of the necessaries of life in Germany are not due to our tariff. while free trade does not pre- serve England from increased cost of living.

in many places by the walls having fallen in.
 The existence of an underground passage was we'll known, but no one appears to have even suspected that one outlet was in the old Konak. which was built in the time of Prince MIlosh.
 The workmen also came upon a eel Tar, the entrance to. which had been walled up In 1t were a great number of skeletons and instruments of tor ture. and iron~fings with long chains attached to them. made fast in the walls.
 No one will ever know the secret horrors which were perpetrated here. and 1t can only be conjectured that ob- jectionable people were flung into this dungeon to die lingering and painful death. N
 Behind the 6id Konak was an iron spiral staircase which led down to an- other walled up space. It was thought that this was the old prison, but in- vestigatfon proved 1t to be- a sort of winter garden. evidently from the days of Prince Milosh.
 The treasures which the old Konak was reputed to conceal proved to be inusory. An empty treasure chest was all that was found. and a vast number of empty bottles. speaking to the bibu- ious' propensities of the ancestors of the last Abrenovitch.
 Several Roman antiquities--coin and pottery-as we'll as old Turkish weap- ons were discovered. These have been placed in the Belgrade museum.

A Woman Preacher


 For the first time in history a wo- man has preached in an orthodox Ger man pulpit.
 The event has produced the inevita- ble scandal among the strfcter mem bers of the Lutheran Church, who em- phatically denounce the woman who has usurped the place 6f a male pas tor. The woman preacher was Dr. Gertrude Petzold of Leicester. England, who has already preached in English pulpits. Her action is indignantly de- scribed by the leading Lutheran news paper as the newest religious sensa- ton" and it is declared that she has no rights to preach in Lutheran State church.
 Dr. Petzold is supported by the lead CTS of the German Woman Movement, who declare that a good sensible ser mon from a woman Is preferable to the bad. medieval sermons frequently delivered by men.

SLOW PROGRESS IS MADE
Selection Of Jury to Try Harry
Thaw Proceeding.

New York, Jan. S.-Two of the
jurors Professionally accepted Monday
at the trial of Harry K. Thaw have
been excused with he consent of the
prosecution and defense. They were
James r. Conway, a hotelkeeper, and
William E. Brewer, decorator This
action caused no surprise, for it is
generally felt that few of the jurors
so far selected will be included in the
trial panel after the thirty peremp-
tory challenges on either side have
been exhausted. .-- ...
Two new provisional jurors were
secured at the morning session, leav-
ing at the time of the 1 o'clock recess
nine men in the box
The work of jury selection pro-
gressed slowly. The first panel of 100
talesmen was exhausted and the new
panel of 100 more reported was heav-
lily drawn upon.
Adnittance to the trial again was
restricted and there were many va
cant seats

BROWN ISSUES Statement
Replies to Criticisms of Foraker and
Others.


! Toledo, O., Jan. S.-Chairman Wal.
ter F. Brown of the Republican state
central committee gave out an extend
ed statement in answer to criticisms
made by Senator Foraker and others
of the call for primaries to select dele
gates to the state convention. In part
Mr.. Brown said:
'The principal objection made has
been directed to the limitation upon
. the use of names of candidates for
president as the heading or designa-
tion of delegate tickets. It must be
remembered that Senator Foraker had
publicly requested that state delegates
should be directly chosen at primary
elections held under the state law.
"Clearly to place a bonafide Foraker
list of delegates and bonafide list of
Taft delegates upon the ballot side by
side and to permit the electors to
designate their preference by placing
cross at the head of one or the other
of such tickets is to provide primary
plan which is absolutely fair to each
presidential candidate as we'll as to
every elector.
"As chairman of the Republican
state centra! committee my sole aim
has been to perform my duties with
absolute fairness to all and in har-
mony with the prevailing sentiment of
Ohio Republicans"

KENTUCKY sENAT0RSHIP.
Republicans, in Minority, Hope to
Elect Their Candidate.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 9.-The polit-
ical game in Kentucky, proverbially
tumultuous and uncertain, promises to
furnish a spectacular senatorial con-
test. The opening of the legislative
sessions finds the Democrats severely
shaken by the last election and with
numerous rumors of disaffection in
the camp. Nevertheless they have
majority of eight on joint ballot and
the managers of former Governor ].
c. w. Beckham, who was nominated
at a primary eighteen months ago,
claim that he will be elected. .+.
Pitted against Beckham is William
O. Bradley, the only Republican gov
ernor, except w. S. Taylor, who held
Office between 1865 and 1907. The
Republican leaders say that the revolt
of the Democrats against Beckham's
leadership will enable them to elect
Bradley. Politicians regard it as ex-
tremely likely that at least two Demo.
Gratis will vote with the Republicans
against Beckham, thus reducing his
probable majority to four.

Heinze, who has had a remarkable
career as mining engineer, promoter
of various mining companies, espe-
cially those developing copper proper
ties, and within the last year or two
as a fnancier, was president of the
Mercantile National bank until Octo-

heavy withdrawals from the bank, due
to a rapid decline in stock of the
United Copper company, in which
Heinze was heavily interested. Heinze
then resigned from the presidency of
the bank.
Heinze is also accused of illegal

NIGHT RIDERS ACTIVE
Armed Mob Pays Visit to Two
More Kentucky Towns.
CITIZENS TERROR STRICKEN

Independent Tobacco Warehouses De-
stroyed and Incidentally Some Other
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Obey Warning
to Keep OF Streets.
Paris, KY, Jan. 8.-Night riders
made their appearance in force in the
Burley district, visiting two towns, one
In Fleming and the other in Bath
county, and destroying two ware
houses and big general store. The
raiders did not fire any shots in either
place and left as soon as the work had
been accomplished. The men were all
masked and heavily armed and caused
reign of terror among the citizens of
the little villages. =
The first visit was made to the town
Of Bethel, in Bath county. This is a
little village of about 500 Inhabitants
and the people were wholly unpre-
pared for raid. The night riders
marched into the town shortly before
midnight and those who were aroused
were told to go back into their houses.
The mob proceeded directly up the
main street of the village and, saturat-
ing with oil the big Independent house
of A. R. Robinson, soon had it mass
of flames. AS soon as the riders had
left the village the citizens rushed to
the scene of the flames and attempted
to put out the fire. Before they sue
ceeded in this, however, the general
store of Peters Bros. adjoining the
warehouse, was burning and all efforts
to save II were futile.
From Bethel the raiders visited the
little town of Sherbourne, In Fleming
county, where they destroyed the inde-
pendent warehouse of Daugherty Bros
No shots were fred, but the raiders, in
order to prevent any aid from being
summoned, cut all telephone and tele-
graph wires leading into both places.
