room, shot and killed the chief of
detectives, William e. Dwyer, serf-
ously wounded three other police
men and bystander, and was him
self seriously wounded. Mcdonald
had been tried for dynamiting stores
and a church in Sanford last year.
AS soon as the jury reported its
verdict, Mcdonald jumped up, drew
a revolver and fired at Prosecuting
Attorney James A.. Cooper, but miss
ed, because Cooper tipped his chair
over backward. Mcdonald contin-
ued firing at che officers seated
around the counsel table. Detective
Dwyer fell dead at the third shot.
Policemen and deputy sheriffs in
the court room drew revolyers and
shot at Mcdonald, who returned the
fire. Before the convicted man fell,
with half a dozen bullet holes in his
body, he had shot Harvey ". Jones,
superintendent Of police, in the side;
Deputy Sheriff Ira Wellman in the
chin: Sylvester Doyle, court bailiff,
In the leg, and a bystander in the
side.
The jurors jumped to their feet
at the nrSt Shot. Judge L. Il. Wal
ker, one of the attorneys, tried to
stop Mcdonald, but he only hindered
the officers, who were afraid of hit
ting hi.n when they shot at McDon-
aid. &
Judge Crane, who presided at the
trial, ran to the railing OF the Jury
box, and spectators rushed out in
confusion. Persons In Offices below
the court room heard the shots and

The brake refused to work and. los
ing control of the wheel, he was
thrown through the window of the
Savoy facing Seventeenth avenue near
the alley. 1t was the Indian room that
Thompson had chosen for his plunge.
1t was crowded, every table being TAX

pearance. The astonished diners
heard the crash of the glass and sat
spellbound as through the shower of
fragments from it they saw the body
of man shooting through the air. 1t
went over the table where the Kin
caids were dining, taking the table
cloth covered with dishes with it, and,
before Mrs. Kincaid knew what had
happened, Thompson fell into her lap.
She screamed with fright The other
women in the room echoed her cries
and pandemonium reigned. Broken
glass and blood from Thompson's
wounds went flying everywhere and
added to the excitement
Policemen, walters, chambermaids,
bellbOys, clerks and guests of the hos
telry came running into the room, at
tracted by the uproar. And in the
meantime, dazed and half unconscious,
Thompson lay in Mrs. Kincaid's lap.
Mr.. Kincaid was the first to recover
his composure. He assisted Thomp
son to his feet, and seeing that the
man was suffering called others to
help carry him to his automobile out
side. With Mrs. Kincaid he took the
injured man in the machine to the
county hospital. There an examina-
ton revealed that Thompson had sus-
tanned severe cuts about the body and
severed an artery in his right sho<ll-

injured.

pitaI Seriously III.

New York-Michael Flaherty was
found the other night sitting up dead
in chair in his little shack in Bay
avenue in the Greenville section of
Brooklyn. He had been dead SO hours,
and had died of starvation. Beside
him lay his brother John, so years of
age, helpless with rheumatism and
weakness. John was hurried to the
hospital as rapidly as possible and
when he was undressed $3.50 was
found in his pockets.
The men were found by the merest
chance. John James, a butcher, hap
pened to drive by the place late in
the afternoon, and saw the dead
Michael sitting staring out of the win
dow. The butcher had seen him in
the same position Friday and also Sat
urday. The man seemed to look worse
than he had on the two previous days,
so James got off his wagon and
knocked at the door.
When no answer came he burst the
door in. The sight that met his eyes
staggered him. John lay on the floor
moaning feebly; his tongue was black
and protruded from his mouth. The
butcher bent over him and heard him
murmur a single word: Water"
The butcher drew water from a tap
near at hand, and dashed it in the
mans face. He then turned his atten-
ton to Michael, and found that he
was dead
John was rushed to the hospital. He
became unconscious on the way and
was revived only after the most hero
ic work. He was then able to tell a
story which for its horror rivals any

shack. 1t is miserably furnished and

took up their residence there John
Flaherty had become practically a
cripple from rheumatism. Wednesday

reply John presumed that he had fall

Thursday morning dawned and wore
on to noon. A half dozen times John
tried to get to his brother but was
still unable to drag himself across the
floor. He lay helpless all day, fell
into doze at dusk, and again about
midnight he heard his brother cry
once more. for water. Again he was
unable to get to him.

What Generosity Means

Many people get the credit of be-
ing generous who never felt a single
generous impulse in their lives" says
close student of human nature.
Their generosity-so-called
consisted simply in formal, cold,
grudging almsgiving, carried out at
the call of duty, and unaccompanied
by any spontaneous burst of feeling
or sympathy.
The highest generosity is full of
strong, unhesitating self-effacement,
and always nspires-except in de-
based natures-feelings of gratitude
and affection. Almsgiving is one of
the least of it's attributes. 1t more
often takes the form of helpfulness.
sympathy and understanding. 1t gives
forth compassion and announcement
of kind which is far beyond money
value

logical and chronological sciences, en-
cheering, medical sciences and by
giene, juridical science, social sci
ences, pedagogy and philosophy,
agronomy and zootechnics, which latter
may be called the science of agricul-
ture. The discussions under the head
of social sciences are expected to be
the most important, 40 per cent. OF
the subjects to be introduced in the
congress being grouped under that
title
At Santiago there will be estab-
lished a general clearing house of
American information. The great bulk
of the work will come under the so
cial sciences, and 205 subheads under
that title have been made. 1t is GER
tain that a good deal more informa-
ton concerning the early history and
inhabitants of America will become
common knowledge after the congress
closes. Exchange of ideas on agri-
cultural methods will also be valuable.
Among the almost innumerable sub
jects to be talked over the most i'm
portant are such as these:
Means which American nations
might employ to properly assimilate
immigrants to the native element
The ACCESSIBILITY of introducing the
referendum. Results following re-
forms introduced in American coun-
tries for the purpose of affording the
people more direct participation in
public affairs. Legal and political
status of aborigines.
Labor, including cooperative build
ing plans, laws to protect women and
children in industrial labor, minimum
wages, cooperative loan associations,
savings banks. relief societies, labor
exchanges, compulsory insurance, in
dustrial schools, social education and
labor unions.
Under engineering some subjects
are: Plans and cages of interconti-
mental railways. supply of drinking
water, distribution of irrigation water
and adoption of a Pan-American stan
dard reinforced concrete construction
railway car lighting and processes for
concentration of ores, uses of nitrate
and discussions of the only source of
supply, the Chilean fields.
Under agronomy and zootechnics
proposed subjects include preparation
and improvement of soils, agricultural
machinery, reforestation, viticulture
and vinificaticn, production of meat,
fat, milk, butter, cheese and WOOL ma
chinery for the elaboration and con-
servation of animal products, poultry,
fish culture, parasitical and contagious
diseases of domestic animals, rural
construction, economic elements in ag-
ricultural production.
When it is considered that we are
far in advance of South America on
some of these matters, while they are
much better informed on others, the
great value of the coming congress to
all the people of the western hemis.
'phere can be appreciated.

At hardly any point in Uganda has
the sleeping sickness made such
frightful ravages. At least 5000 per-
