GYPSY KING PUT IN A CELL.
Accused by Queen Dora of Stealing
Her JeWelry.

New York, Dec. 2S.-Gus Stanley,
king of wandering tribe of gypsies,
and eight of his followers were held
In $4,000 bail each Friday on charge
Of grand larceny, preferred by Queen
Dora Pearse, Of rival camp.
A crowd of King Stanley's followers
tried to bail their chief by offering
nearly a peck of gold ornaments, but
his security was not acceptable to
The court and the king was taken to
cell.
Queen Dora, in court, claimed that
her quarters had been entered Thurs
lay night and jewelry valued at $780,
300 taken. She told how the two
:ribes had formerly dwelt together in
Westchester, but said that dissension
lad arisen and the tribes had sep
arated
A love affair, however, had devel-
,ped meantime between Prince John
Kruss of the Pearse camp and Prin-
cess Ethel Stanley of the other fac
ion. This romance apparently was
gradually bringing the rival camps
together again and, the parents of the
overs having given their consent, a
celebration of the engagement was
held Thursday night in the Stanley
camp, in which nearly all of the gyp-
,ies took part. 1t was while the mer-
ry-making was at its height, Queen
Dora charged, that Stanley and some

Jesus Garcia. Mexican and an en-
gfneer Of mining train on a railroad
down in Arizona, discovered while
standing at little station the other
day that some of his cars were on fire.
Among these cars were two loaded
with powder. Should he detach the
locomotive and take flight, leaving
the station and little settlement to be
blown up or not? He chose not tc
do SO, but, ordering the train crew off,
opened the throttle wide and dashed
for the country. When the explosion
came the train was far enough in the
country to save all lives but his own.
He sacrificed himself for the rest, this
unknown Mexican who did not know
that he was one of the noblest Of
heroes. And In spite of these almost
daily happenings, among obscure peo-
pie In the course of their ordinary
tasks, pessimists talk of modern de-
generacy. Such critics, declares the
indianapolis Star, are slow to learn
that deeds of courage are not per.
formed in these days by men in gay
trappings, waving swords above their
heads.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 30.-"Kansas
for Christ" is to be the slogan in a

is to be pushed simultaneously in
every county of the Sunfiower state
next year. Hundreds Of ministers of
various denominations, together with

the whole country what may be &C.
complished in concerted religious
work carried forward on strictly bust
ness lines.
The great revival is to be under the
direct leadership of Rev. William Ed
ward Biederwolf.
The undertaking will be subject to
the general supervision of board of
two ministers and two laymen from

has already been organized with Is
denominations represented, has Sc
lected Edward E. Taylor of Philadel-

For Winter Wear.

How hate to have my eyes opened

an, half in jest, when friend suggest
ed that the parlor carpet was shabby.
She had lived with that carpet for
half a lifetime She remembered
when it came home in huge roll from
the neighboring city; how all the FAM
lily sewed on the long, heavy seams;
also the excitement Of laying 1t, and
the glories of its red and green color
ing as they were displayed to admir-
ing friends. To her eyes those colors
had never faded. The pattern Of mann.
moth roses was as desirable to her
taste as the more chaste designs OF
the Morris school. And now sudden
ly, all her satisfaction in the paricr
carpet, which had lived 40 years, was
destroyed by word. One illusion the
less! 1t is not necessary to be mys.
teal in order to feel that the friendly
critic was a troublesome busybody,
says the Youths Companion. The
carpet on which Miss Muffett really
lived was the carpet of her mind--not
the realistic carpet cleaned by the car
pet-beater every spring for 40 years.
What is the use of imagination and

a world brighter and sweeter than this

A DESPERATE ACT.
Allison Crept Out on Steel Arch Bridge
and Hanged Himself.

Minneapolis, Dec. 81. - Carefully
avoiding death by accident and en-
during the fortunes of freezing wind
that he might end his life in his own
way, Henry Allison, 45 years old,
crept out on the supports beneath
the steel arch bridge Sunday night
and hanged himself with a wire to
the middle of the east arch.
His body was discovered just be-
fore noon today by several boys who
went to the east side of the river to
skate. Looking up they saw the
body, partly concealed by the steel
work. They Immediately notified
the police and the coroner.
Allison is believed to have taken
his life in the night. He must have
made his way cautiously from the
east bank of the river to the middle
of the great arch. To get there he
had to creep on hands and knees over
the slippery, snow covered steel, and
to use all his strength and dexterity
to keep from slipping in the dark and
plunging to the ice below.

GREATEST INLAND HARBOR
WORK IN PITTs6URG DISTRICT IS
NEARLY COMPLETED.
Immense System of Dams and Locks
That Means Much to River
Commerce.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 30.-Within a
few days the large river interests Of
the Pittsburg district will have use
of the greatest inland harbor in the
world. Only two or three days work
remains to complete the system of
locks and dams built on the upper
Ohio river between Pittsburg and the
mouth of the Beaver river at Beaver,
and by the time the low water sea-
son comes the entire chain of six
dams will be ready for full operation.
The harbor of Pittsburg, which has
heretofore been confined between
Davis Island and lock No. 1, on the
Monongahela river, will be extended
to Merrill, or dam No. 6, on the Ohio
river, a distance of over 80 miles from
Pittsburg. This will enable river ship
pers to take millions of bushels of
coal that much nearer to market, to
wait for freshets to move coal and
other products to southern ports.
1t is estimated that the tonnage of
the Upper Ohio for 1907 will exceed
100000 tons. This vast commerce
has been moved only by the aid of ma
ture. Most of this tonnage has been
held in the pools of the Monongahela
or in the Pittsburg harbor proper,
waiting at intervals for enough water
to enable it to be shipped. Next
spring coal operators will be in posi-
ton to transport the coal to pool No.
6, thus taking the fuel for southern
use over the worst portion of the Ohio
river, which will materially aid in
making up fleets to move them south
ward.
The improvement has cost the gov.
eminent close to 100000, but prop
erty valuations along that portion OF
the stream which has been improved
have been greatly increased. Many
manufacturers have located plants
along the banks of he river because
of the harbor facilities that will be
afforded and the assurance that their
works can be supplied the year round
by fuel moved by water.

MYSTERY IN Cruel
MURDER OF WOMAN
VICTIMS NUDE BODY FOUND IN
A LITTLE POND AT
HARRISON, N. j.
Killed in the Night-She Was Seen
Crossing Hackensack Meadows
with Man, and Her Cries for Help
Were Heard.

Newark, N. j., Dec. 27.--A murder
and deliberate cruelty that take it out
of the ordinary, was committed on
the Hackensack Meadows in the town
Of Harrison early Thursday, and the
nude body of the victim, comely
woman of perhaps 80 years, was found
nearly submerged in the icy waters OF
a little pond. Only the feet projected
when chance passers-by broke the ice
in which the exposed portions were in
crusted and dragged the body ashore.
Victim a Refined Woman.
The dead woman was finely fea'
tured; her hair and nails gave evil
dence of a recent and scrupulous tot
let, and such of her clothing as was
subsequently found, suggested in tex
ture and style an owner of refine
ment rather than one whose habits
might lead her to frequent the vicinity
of the crime. The pond in which the
body was thrown is made by the over
flow of the Passaic river and is direct
ly across the river from this city.
The body has not been identified,
and 1t was pretty we'll established that
It was not that of a resident of this
city or Harrison. Its description does
not correspond with that of any
woman reported to the police as miss
ing. Two men, who occupied a yacht
moored near where the body was
found, are detained by the police.
Waterman cooean's Story.
The most important clew obtained
was furnished Thursday night by
Peter Coogan, a Waterman employed
by the Marine Engine company, who
recognized the body as that of a
woman whom he had seen crossing
the meadows in company with a man
early in the day. Later he saw the
man alone. He then carried a bundle
in his arms. The man was short and
stout.
Two girls returning to their home
In Harrison long after midnight heard
a woman's cries floating over the
marsh land. They seemed to come
from the direction of the pond and, to
the startled girls, sounded like Spare
me-" and "Help!" Nearer home the
girls were approached by a well.
dressed stranger. who accosted and
followed them until policeman was
met with, when he turned and fed.
Life had been extinct, the coroner
said, about IL hours when the body
was found. A mark on the neck indi-
Gated that strangulation was the man
ner of death. Scratches on the leg
and trunk and pieces of cinder forced
into the flesh showed that the body
had been dragged along cinder path
which skirts the pond.

Boston Audience Kisses Officer-Han1.
merstein Sues Albani for 81 900
Advance Salary.

Boston, Dec. 27.-An element OF
comedy was mingled with the grand
opera at the production of I'll Trova-
tore" by the San Carlo Grand Opera
company at the Majestic theater
Thursday night, caused by the pres
ence of a constable upon the stage
to guard Tenor Carlos Albani in the
interests of Oscar Hammerstein, of
New York.
Early in the day sheriff served pa
pers on the tenor in civil process on
behalf of Hammerstein, who seeks to
recover $1,000 paid the singer as ad-
vance salary when he came to Amer
lea to sing for Mr.. Hammerstein. The
latter claims that Albani is under
exclusive contract to him.
Just before the second act was to be
put on, the constable placed Albani
under arrest on a mesne process to
secure the amount of his wages for the
week, which Hammerstein laid claim
to. The officer, after consultation with
Manager Russell, consented to allow
the singer to complete the program,
but insisted that he be allowed to re-
main on the stage. The constable
kept on his overcoat and hat and
whenever the singer moved about the
stage the officer followed, the audi
ence usually kissing.
After the performance a bondsman
was found and Albani was released
from custody.

JAMES O'BRiEN CONFESSES HE
KILLED ARTHUR LIE CLAIRE

Claims He Hit His Victim with Hatch

Ciaire's Pocketbook ard Later
Threw Money in River.

Pembina, N. D., Dec. I.-James
O'Brien of Neche has made complete
confession of the murder of Arthur
LeClaire, the Great Northern fireman.
The sixteen-year-old slayer finally
gave up the details of the crime to j.
@. Crawford, Pinkerton detective,
who has been working on the case.
The confession came after he had
been confronted with his bloody gar
ments, and Ratchet with which the
crime ives committed, a bloody scarf
and other evidence of his guilt. j,
When the news was broken to the
father of O'Brien, for years resident
of Neche and custom officer there, he
broke down completely. Fred LIE
Claire, father of the murdered boy,
called on him in an endeavor to con-
sole him.
Detective Crawford, eighteen years
in the business, had quite time get
ting the murderer to confess. He
worked various schemes and was
finally successful after picturing to
the boy the certainty of conviction
and calling his attention to the great
expense with which his father would
be burdened in case he fought the
case in the district court.
Doubts as to Quarrel.
The confession is believed to be un-
true as far as it relates to a quarrel.
1t is the theory of the authorities
that he slew lie Claire in cold blood
in order to secure possession of his
money. 1t is also believed that the
money was not thrown, in the Penn
bina river, but is concealed some
where.
The Confession.
The confession, written by O. Brien's
own hand, is as follows:
1--WE got a rig and went to Gretns
and both got drunk. Coming back
we got to fighting over who was the
best man, and he said he could lich
three O'Briens, and I got mad. Wher
we left Cooks shop I made ex'
cuse to go to closet, and got the
Ratchet and we started for the rink.
We got down there, and he made g
remark about fighting me and he goi
behind me and threw me over. Igot
up and he hit me, and hit him with
the Ratchet and after I seen what
done hit him again, took his peck
etbook and threw him in the river.
I then went home"
