grown angry with her. and had set her adrift in the
chest with her little Perseus And now although
they had escaped from the pers of the sea thew must
Sueriy die OF hunger and cold unless some one would
befriend them.
Poor as he was, Dictys could not find il in his heart
to refuse the two homeless strangers home so he took
them to live with him, and brought up the child as if
had been his own son. -
AS the boy Persus grew up he became so tall and
strong and handsome and easily surpassed the other
young men of his age in all games of strength and
skill that the fame of him spread throughout the
whole country and finally reached the ears of King Po

CAPITAL JOTTINGS.

Mr.. Lyon, the United States minister to
Liberia, who has just reached his post at
Monrovia, has informed the state depart
ment that he does not regard the situa-
ton there between the Liberian govern
ment and the native tribes as serious. In
telegram dated Wednesday he says that
the scout cruiser Birmingham was then
at Cape Palmas, near which recent dis
turbances have occurred, having on
board Mr.. Bossen. the premier of the Lii
berian Senate, and Mr.. King, the attor-
ney general, who had proceeded there
to open negotiations with the heads of
the turbulent tribes, looking to settle
ment of the existing difficulties.
Phenomenal has been the increase in
the past 20 years in the value of wealth
produced on farms of the United States.
Figures carefully prepared by the sta
tiSticianS of the department of agrcul-
ture show this increase to have been
S6,300,3G0,u00 in the period from 1889
to the close Of last year. In 1889 the
value of the wealth produced on farms
of the United States was S2,460, COO, 900
10 years later it was $4,717 100000 and

Langford Wins
In Sixteenth,

Los Angeles. Cal, April 14.-In n
fight which demonstrated anew the
powers of Sam Langford of Boston and
added to the reputation of Jim Barry
as to gameness and ability to stand
punishment the Boston edemon" sent
his white antagonist to the mat for
the final count in the 18th round at the
Vernon Arena today. 1t was a vicious
bout from start to finish and the Negro
led after the first six rounds. After the

landed almost at will and a knock out
appeared only a matter of time.
Barry surprised the rngsde crowd
with the strength he displayed, despite
the punishment he suffered and a rail-
ly in the 18th inspired his hackers with
the hope that he might outlast Lang
ford. While the men did not weigh ir
before entering the ring. it was said
there was a difference of 80 pounds in
Barry's favor. Barrys weight was
given as 1856 and that of Langford as
1866. In the clinches the white man was

times for rough tactics at close range.
The pugilists went at one another saw
agely at the sound of the gong for the
first round. There was fast fighting at
close range in the second and both
men were bleeding at the mouth at
the close.
In a cIinch near the end of the third
round Barry almost threw Langf ford
through the ropes. From then until the
eighth tie bout was a mixture of slug
ging rallies and mitigating. Barry used
the Negro roughly in the clinches and
underwent severe punishment whenever
they fought at long range.
Several times during tie eighth and
succeeding rounds. the men were boot
ed for wrestling. Langford showed the
utmost good nature. Stop your tick

POISONED WHISKEY
Has Now Claimed Twelve Victims at
Or Near Westerly, r. I.

Westerly, r. l., April 14.-With a
death roll numbering II, of which three
names were added within the last "a
hours, interest in the alleged whole
sale whiskey poisonings in Westerly
and adjacent towns took new turn
tonight when Chief of Police Brans-
field announced that summonses To
appear in the superior court at Kings
ton, Monday, had been served upon
seven persons believed to possess val
liable information in connection with
the dozen mysterious deaths.
Later in the evening Chief Bransfield
led the police in three raids in the Ital-
ian quarter. Although a large amount
of whiskey and other intoxicants was
found. nowhere We're any evidences of
'Moonshining' uncovered.
Three sudden deaths in or near Yves
teriy since yesterday afternoon direct
ed renewed attention to the unusual
situation in connection with the in
crease in the death roll here and in the
surrounding towns this month. In two
of the cases. those of Mrs. Rosorie Tat
ii. Pawtucket, and Daniel r. Sullivan
of White Rock, death may have been
due to normal causes. An autopsy on
Mrs. Tatti revealed no trace of poison.
In the Sullivan case, the medical ex-
aminer said:
IF 1t We're not for the suddenness of
Sullivan's death. would think that the
cause was congestion of the lungs or
kidney trouble. ] am. however, unable
to arrive at q satisfactory. conclusion
yet" rssx
While an autopsaysupon tchh-acArer
GS years old, of Westerly, ;ths la Fest vic
tim. has not beengmade, IT'S Supposed
that his death was due directly to pois-
oned whiskey. 1t is known. that Nc
Aver. VINO is the father OF Mrs. Albert
Tucker, an earlier victim, drank whiskey
yesterday afternoon. He retired appar-
emily in good health last night but
awnkc il. and died before noon.
Of the dozen persons whose deaths
are popularity asCribed to poison in this

five are almost certainly known to have
been victims of wood alcohol contained
in whiskey they drank.

But Heart Is Not in Work, Owing to
His Wife's Illness.

Ben Lomond, Cal, April 14.--Re-
freshed by his relaxation and diversion
yesterday, James j. Jeffries returned
to the training ground today with
more spirit and ginger for his work.
First on the program was three
rounds of boxing with Bob Armstrong.
a colored heavyweight. Beginning with
defensive tactics in the first round to
improve his speed and footwork, JEFF
fries was soon chasing the Negro all
over the ring. Jeffries' speed was a
trfle better than last Monday. Bag
punching and hand ball followed and
when the exercises were over perspi-
ration rolled off the fighter.
Fast as Jeffries appeared, Manager
Sam Berger thought him a bit off in
his work. Hes worried said Ber-

RATES NOW SETTLED
To National Educational Gathering at
Boston in July.

Chicago. April 4.-The Central Passen-
ger Association has settled the question
which has been agitatng the Eastern
roads for several months as to the rates
to Boston for the annual convention of
the National Education Association early
in July. The Grand Trunk Railroad
some time ago served notice that it
would make rate of one fare for the
round trip for this event.
The action of the Canadian road has
provoked some hard feeling among the
American lines and for a time they
threatened to meet the reduction with a
similar rate to Eastern points AS this
would affect the summer tourist rates.
the roads finally decided to let the Grand
Trunk have the business The Wabash
will meet the rate by way of canada, but
otherwise only the regular summer tour
list fares will be used this side of the
border.
