MADMAN SHOOTS GENERAL
Attempted Assassination Takes Place
Near President FaIIieres and
King Manuel.

Paris, Nov. 29.-An Individual, be-
IieYed to be insane, and having an
imaginary grievance against the war
department, shot and seriously wound
ed Gen. Verand on the steps of the
Hotel Continental, as the general was
entering the hotel to attend banquet.
The man was arrested.
Later it was learned that he had
mistaken Gen. Verand for Gen. Brun,
minister of war.
The attempted assassination created
a sensation. 1t occurred a few mo-
ments after President Fallieres left
the Hotel Bristol, near by, where he
was calling on King Manuel. The peo-
pie and policemen in the streets first
thought that it was an attempt against
the life of the president of the repub.
lie or the king of Portugal.
Hundreds ran in the direction Of the
shots and several of the officers sprang
upon Gen. Verand's assailant, who
proved to be an Algerian.

ways accompany civilizations benefits.
Only 55 years ago Commodore Perry
opened the ports of Japan; but in this
half century that island empire has
made gigantic strides toward civiliza-
ton. Her people are "the Yankees Of
the east" Dishonesty and immortality
are characteristics of barbarous and
semi-barbarous people, but the crimes
of civilization are more difficult to
handle because covered and protected
by the cloak of responsibility. The
prompt arrest of Japan's civilized
grafters augurs well for the future Of
that ambitious government. The au-
thorities will mete out summary pun
ishment to these offenders, and teach
a salutary lesson to future Would-be
grafters. Thus the nation may escape
the scandal Of corrupt politics.

FIVE DRINKS WTIATE WILL
Last Testament of James D. Lucas Is
Declared Void by
Jury.

st. Louis, Nov. 29.-An appeal will
be taken in the fight over the will Of
Joseph D. Lucas, wealthy turfman
and sporting man, a jury having
thrown Gut the testament because
Lucas took five drinks before he
made it. The case came up in the
circuit court of ST. Louis county at
Clayton. The jury held that Lucas
was incapable of bedueathing his
property because of the drfHks.
In returning the verdict Che jury
went directly against TIE instructions
of Judge McElhenney, who practically
ruled that Lucas prolonged spree
could not be taken as prima facie
evidence of his mental incompetency.
The estate is valued at 81, 900, 900.
Lucas, who died in 1903, was for
years the leading turfman in st. Louis.
If the verdict stands, the estate will
go to % heirs of the husband rather

ITO whom shall I leave my income

Nicette was a distant cousin, a
charming girl of Is, with golden hair
and large brown eyes. She was, like
him, an orphan, and this common mis-
fortune had long ago established be-

His last wishes were soon set

When this was done, he drank a

The expedition Of Mr.. Brown, which
went to the Lamarie formation; re-
suited in the unearthing of the fossil
skeletons of a new reptile of the cera-
topsia variety, and of one Of the pre-
'dentata family hitherto unknown to
scientists.
The ceratopsian specimen, whose
classic name translated means horn
face" is a dinosaur, and is closely al
lied to the triceratops, Of which there
is complete skeleton in the museum.
The body measured % feet in length
and seven in height, while it was full
ly four and a half feet across the
back. The skull was missing, and
some other expedition will have to get
him head. The frame of the reptile
is lighter than that of the triceratops.
The accession from the predentata
race is a lizard which walked about
like kangaroo Three skeletons were
found, but no head, and it is now for
another expedition to see that he does
not remain acephalus.
The new reptile measures seven
feet from tip to tip, and when he stood
up he was probably five feet high.
The preparation of the specimens
which have been gathered by these
two expeditions will require years
work and research.
