 Mexican Herald: A decision in the Hampton trial will be given by the federal courts within five days according to information given by the attorney for the defense. Sam uel L. Hampton, who killed a negro in a saloon near the Central station over two years ago, is under sentence of death and Lie. Fran cisco Alfaro who has undertaken to bring about the mans acquittal on the ground that he was unconscious of his actions when he shot the negro, has applied for amparo to the federal court as stated in The Herald previously, and expects to obtain a favorable decision within a few days. Lie. Alfaro made the statement to a Herald representa- tive that the term allowed by the law for furnishing proofs to the court and for holding the records of the proceedings under examina- tion, has been waived by him and that he will take steps to obtain protection from the federal authori- ties against the sentence of death pronounced against Hampton by the fourth president of the debates who conducted the trial.
 Mexican Herald: "Is the old prophecy of the tentes or priests oi MocteEuma II, about to be full filled?" This question is prompted by the sensational rumor now passing among the Indians of Mex ico and of the towns and villages of the Valley of Anahuac that the snow is disappearing from the crater of Popocatepetl. It is claim ed that never before in the memory of old Indians still living has the majestic mantle of white been so small as at present, and that if the melting of the snow continues on through August at the rate shown during the first half of July, there will be none left by the end of summer. According to legends, such an event was predicted by the priests of Tenochtitlan, and their prophecy was accompanied by other ominous, though vague, ora cular utterances. Within written history, the volcano has never lost its snow, even in the days when the ancient guardian of the "Wo- man in White" emitted the con tinuous column of smoke that gave him his name. While among the educated classes little heed has been paid to this alarming condi- tion of things on Popo, the In dians have been in furry of ex citement for some weeks and have been prophesying all the Pandor- can evils in the catalogue from the drying up of Pefion springs to the turning of the moon into cheese It is interesting to note that pre- dictions were made previously tc the arrival of the recent comet that all sorts of strange phenomena would follow, including volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and cyclones The possibility of the volcano

called to the matter. It is also suggested that the comet is the real ratero who is getting Old Popo'S wardrobe.

the tax. Governor Stuart is not i'll

ton and inspected the field at Gov
ernors island. from which he and
Glenn H. Curtiss expect to attempt a
series of fights over the sl1yscrapers
OF Manhattan in the Hudson-Fulton
celebration.
"The machine I shall use here,' he
said, 'fs a composite creation made of
parts of five of its predecessors. In
the last six years we have not ad-
vanced much in the art of flying, and
the biplane we used in our first ex-
periments made some records that few
machines now winning fame could
hope to equal"
Mr. Wright declined to say whether
he would attempt to fly to Albany.
"The public demand for new sensa-
tions is debauching the science of avi-
ation," he said. "Too many men are
being led astray by desire for motor
iety. What we want is not so much
longer flights but more instructive
flights. Any attempt on my part to
fly to Albany will depend on condi-
tions-the weather, how the engine is
running and on my judgment"

NAVIGATING TIGER FINALLY
FALLS VICTIM TO HUNTERS
Brute for Months Terrorizes Natives
in Vicinity of Tezpur,
India

CALCUTTA, Sept. 19-An exciting
tiger story comes from Tezpur. For the
past five or six years a tigress had
been carrying on it's depredations over
the neighborhood grazing grounds, and
a couple of months ago took up it's
residence with fairly big cub among
the "Tilahs," about three-quarterS of
a mile east of the station. During the
cold season the brute made hill about
two miles above Tezpur the center OF
her operations, and scores of buffalo
and cattle paid toll.
She had killed at least one human
being-a Battiwallah-who met his
death on the river bank near the hill.
His companions, who were in boat,
drove the brute off, but too late to save
the poor wretch from a dreadful death.
Many attempts had been made unsuc-
cessfully to kill the beast, but 1t be-
came so cunning that it successfully
evaded every effort. Some weeks ago It
was very nearly bagged, but this close
shave made it more cautious than ever.
At length early last month it met its
fate.
Three sportsmen organized a beat
and had not to wait long before the
beaters, announced the game was afoot.
1t tried it's usual tactics Of trotting OFT
well ahead of the beaters for another
place of refuge, but one of the sports
men happened 10 locate lhe pedSt "poue
twelve yards from the spot, where 1t
stalked out majestlcally and stopped to
survey If the course was clear. This
proved fatal move, for before it could
realize its danger bullet got 1t fair In
the chest, and it tumbled headlong into
a deep drain. After a few frantic eff
forts to get up the steep sides of the
cutting it fell back stone dead. The
cub escaped. The tigress, although
thin. was in splendid confition and had
a beautifully marked skin. 1t measured
& feet 6h inches,
