Desde hace diez amos este sa-

A POGO de comenzar sus estu-
dios, sufrio las crueles Y extra
flas quemaduras en- frio, que
resultan de una exposition pro
longada de los teji1os organicos
a los misteriosos efuvios de los
tubos de Crookes.
UlCeraCiones profundas { in

era el dolor de estas 'quemadu-

medicO solo podia conciliar Ell
suerlo con la ayuda del opio, y

Sin embargo, Ell medico, lleno
de abnegaci6n, continue sus ex-
periencias, a pesar de que sus
cOmpaneros le habian advertido
que ST no Cesaba seria necesario
amputarle las dos manos.

GITANERiAS
La br!ia naPoItana Y Ia
nano de Ia Reina Amelia

Hay en- ell Mundo una ciudad en- que
Ia reina Amelia es por 10 menos tan
popular como en- Lisboa: Napoles. Los
Napolitanos han conservado un vivo Y
enthusiastic recuerdo de aquella reins de
alegre sonrisa que. cuando pasaba al
gunas sem anas con su hermana, la du-
quesa de Aosta, gustaba mezclarse d la
bulliciosa muchedumbre del bsrrio de
Toledo y marcaba su paso discreto con
limosnas reales.
"Eco la regina de Portugall", decfa-
Sc de ella, y ese proposito evocabase
el otro dia el recuerdo de un extrafio
incidente.
Un dfa en- que la reina Amelia visi-
taba an pintoresco barrio de Napoles,
una vieja gitana pidio ser presentada a
la "Regina de Portugalle". Despuks
de haberle dirigido, en- ell estilo propio
de las brujas del "Peudino", un gracio-
SO cumplido, quiso yer la mano real
para leer en- ella la buena ventura.
La reina sc la tendi6 sonriendo, pero,
en- cuanto la gItana la hubo mirado,
lanzo un grito de horror y hugo.
La soberana, sorprendida, quiso bus
car a la gitana. Habfa desaparecido,
Y todo hace suponer que en- la mano
real leyera la gitana ell terrible drama
de Lisboa.

 That here and now we declare our un- wavering allegiance to law and that if the criminal law be found to be so framed as to permit the escape of civic male factors we shall see to it that the law be amended; that if tba lax administra- tion of the criminal law be due to mis- interpretation by judges, we shall see to it that men be placed on tho bench cap- able of construing the law.
 Be 1t further resolved. That we call upon the supreme supervisors to provide adequate funds for the district attorneys office to secure the detection, prosecution and conviction of criminals, high or low, and the full protection of officers in the discharge of their duties.
 Be it further resolved, That We de- mand the truth from our public press and shall see to 1t that our people are in- formed of the fact~ that they may judge of those who by lying and misrerresen- tation are perverting the public opinion.

Tragedy Is Added to Tragedy In Last Act of Desper-

.DEED COMMITTED WITH
 FOUR GUARDS ON WATCH
Morris Haas Coneeals a Small Derrin- ger In His Shoe and Shoots Him. self While Lying Covered
 With Blankets.

San Francisco, November 14.-6spe- ciaL)-Morris Haas who attempted to assassinate Francis J. Heney con- mitted suicide tonight in his cell in the county jail by shooting himself through the head with a small derrins- CT pistol.
 Haas ended his life while four guards detailed to prevent just such a move stood within three feet of him. The weapon with which the would-be assassin shot himself he had secreted in the top of one of his gaiter shoes. He fired the shot while lying in hls cot and covered with the blankets
 Since Haas was taken into custody Friday afternoon immediately after the sensational attempt to murder Francis J. Heney in Judge Bawlor's courtroom he has been closely watched by four detectives. When taken to the county jail on Friday afternoon Haas was searched by the police authorities and all his belongings were taken from him.
 It was noticed when Haas retired on Friday night that he did not take off his shoes. When asked why he kept his shoes on he replied that he was only going to lie down for few mo ments; that he was toe nervous to sleep and that lie would be up and down his cell 1t vas S:30 o'clock to- night when the prisoner signified to hIs guards that he wish ed to retire. He ! had just been interviewed by Chief of Police Biggey and Captain of Detee- lives James Kelly. Two of the detec- tives remained with Haas in the cell and two stood outside the gratings. The prisoner diyested himself of his upper garments and then lay down and covered himself completely with the blankets ~
 Ten minutes later the guards were startled by muffied report that eame from the bed. They threw off tle blankets to find the prisoner lyine 5a his back smoking derringef g,raspsd in his right hand and a tiny hole ,itl sfs right temple.
 The mans right trouser leg was rolled up. The gaiter top of his right shoe bulged out and against the flesh was the mark showing where he had carried the pistol The pistol was a small single barrelled derringer Of the type that can be carried in the vest pocket.
 Haas was visited in the county Jail this afternoon by his wife, who had.an hours talk with him. It was thought at first that she had smuggled the re- volver into him, but subsequent inves- tigation disproved this theory.
 The news of the suicide of Haas created great excitement throughout the city tonight. The people, worked up to a feverish pitch by the happen ings of the previous day. received with great excitement the climax of to- night

 ON RECORD PULLED OFF

Louisville, November Especial. )--The deal between the Burley Tobacco society and the American Tobacco company for the pooled tobacco held Y tne Rn ley society is T lnuch larger transaction than was reported and it is believed it will go through. It Is the greatest tobacco deal ever known.
 In brief, the Burley society has been offered s1S,c0OoOo for the 1906 and 1907 crops of burley tobacco which it holds. The company offers the big price of 2 cents a pound for the 1906 tobacco. amounting to 12.000,OO0 pounds and 16 cents for 1907 crop of 60,000,0o0 pounds.

FLETCHER NAMED TO
 SUCCEED CALHOON

Jackson, Miss, November 14-(Speeial) Governor Noel surprised "the talent to- day when he appointed Attorney General R. V. Fletcher supreme court judge, yice $. s. Calhoon, deceased. MT. Fletcher was not in the city. He is considered one of the biggest lawyers in the state. He had never been mentioned for the place and was not In any sense an applicant though it was known to his intimates he would resign next January and enter private practice in Jackson. 1t Is believed J. R. Sterlinhg of Jackson. applicant for the judgeship, will be ap- pointed Fletcher's successor as attorney general Fletcher's appointment gives en- tire satisfaction.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-11-15

another conference will be held here and it is believed the offer will be ac- eepted.
 If this deal goes through it's benefit to Kentucky can scarcely be estimated. It will pour a flood of money through the great burley districts which includes some 55 counties, extending through cen tral Kentucky.
 The bands of tobacco growers who have been hard pressed for money while their tobacco was held in pool will receive the cash for which they have so long waited. Their families, tenants and all associated with them will benefit.
 It is also believed that night riding and tobacco war in this section will become a thing of the past and that the tobacco growers will go to work to raise crops next year without fear of hind rance.

RAILROADS LOSE
 IN COTTON CASES.

Jackson, Miss, November 4.-(Special.) Federal Juage Niles has denied the n- junction of the six railroads which prayed for restraining the railroad commission of Mississippi in it's order making cotton freight rates to Gulfport same as rates to New Orleans or Mobile, the Commer- cial league of Gulfport thus winning decided victory Judge Niles delivered a verbal decision dissolving his temporary injunction and giving the commission authority to enforce it's order Attorneys for the railroads announced an appeal to the supreme court of the United States. The effect of this decision may be to di- vert much cotton from New Orleans and Mobile to Gulfport, that being the purpose of the commission Judge Niles holds that the rates ordered by the commission are reasonable and not discriminatin ting against other ports.

SECRETARY ROOT TRIES
 TO FORCE HAND OF JAPAN

New York. November 4-tSpecial. 1.-The Sun publishes tho following:
 Washington, November 14.-Secretary of State Root has undertaken to force Japan's hand in the Orient and has re- quested the Japanese foreign office to re- new the declaration of it's attitude to- ward the territorial and administrative integrity of China which was made eight years ago. That was when John Hay, former secretary of state, was assured by the Japanese government that it fla vored the open door policy in China.
 For many months, it was said at the state department today, Secretary Root

has been seeking to have Japan make plain it's position in the Oriental politi- cal situation. These representations, it was understood. were initiated by the United States after an exhaustive in- vestigation of complaint of alleged dis criminations against foreigners, especi- ally on Mawchuria.
 So far. it is declared, the responses from Japan have not been entirely satis- factory. The present situation in Man churia has been a matter of growing con cern in the state department since the close of the Japanese-R Russian war. Many complaints of discrimination by the Japa- nese against the traders have been raised at the state department.

In vain did some of the most prominent men in the county plead with them to let the law take it's course. They needed not the pleadings but avenged themselves on Nick Veazey, who with his cousin, Steve yeazey, stood charged with the murder. One of them shot him twice as his body dangled from the limb. At nightfal members of the negro's family cut the body down and gave it burial.
