MISS MARIE CORELLI
BUYS MOTOR CAR

London.-Miss Marie Corelli has
overcome one of her great aversions.
She has bought a motor car and thus
joined the ranks of a class whom she
has written things nearly as caustic
as her epigrams about literary critics
The car has been built to a design
approved by the authoress herself. II
is of 32-horsepower and has Lash
borough Limousine body upholstered
| in cloth.
There are special fittings, including
a writing table. The car will be de-
| livered shortly.
In several Of her books Miss Cor
ELI attacks the motorists. Here Is
a passage from Holy orders"
"All at once from the far-off dis
tance there crept the faint echo of a
low burning noise. measured and mo-
notonous like the whirr of a monster
spinning wheel On, still on, and
on, on, with a deadly smooth
ness and swiftness it rushed, till just
as it reached that dark mass
there was a sudden sickening jolt. -.
''The car caught something that
gave a ghastly groan and was silent"
| In The Treasure of Heaven" Miss
| Corelli put forward a number of OBJ
jections to the popular craze for mo-
toring.
| Lord Wrotham, one of Miss Corelli's
villains, who, as he declares is 'al-
ways running over something of 9TH
err" kills the idolized child of Tom o
the Clean, and, unaware of the re-
suit of the mishap, remarks, in the
hearing of the gypsy, "Other peoples
| lives don't matter so much, but mine
is precious"
Then the gypsy pounces Upon him
with "all the fury of a famished
! tiger" and the writer gives a graphic
description of the struggle between the
gypsy and the peer.
Miss Corelli's most recent book,
published a week or two ago, depicts
the devil going about in a combina-
ton of aeroplane and motor car car
rying ruin in his train.
Miss Corelli in addition to having
become a convert to motoring, has
taken to writing sacred poems for
children, two hymns by the novelist
being included in the Methodist School
Hymnal, the compilation of which is
just completed.

Juror Becomes Insane.

Chesaw, Wash-Daniel Lamb, a
rancher OF this section who was ad-
judged insane last week while at the
county seat just after serving as a ju-
ror on a murder case, made his
mark" here as the composer of va
rious contributions to the world of
music. He has had a number OF
sacred hymns and Irish love songs
published, and but recently finished
a work entitled Katie Gallagher"
Lamb was declared afflicted with
religious mania and was characterlz-
ed here by his eccentricities along the
line OF Catholic religion and dairying.
The accused murderer, Miller, in
whose jury Lamb sat, was found guilty
of manslaughter, and it is now very
probable that he will be granted a
new trial one the grounds that Lamb
was probably insane while on the
jury.

COCKNEY DIALECT FINDS
A DEFENDER WHO KNOWS

London.-The cockney dialect has
found a defender in Mackenzie Mac
Bride, who claims that ii is an anci-
ent form of English speech with every
right to be carefully preserved. AS
a pure dialect, with the best of ante
cedents, he ranks it higher than Dev-
onshire, Lincolnshire, or Yorkshire.
and looks upon the efforts of the Lon
don County Council to drive it out of
the London elementary schools as a
national calamity.
People" he writes, "mistake it for
n mere founding of the slums. in
1t is, the tongue of the first written
English, of the first English church,
of the first English scholars, and the
first English schools. 1t is the most
historic heritage and most instruc-
tive study of all the dialects. 1t fits
admirably the character, the humor,
and the tolerance so characteristic of
the London people,"
The following is given by Mr.. Mac
Bride as perfect specimen of the
cockney dialect;
Fact is, guv'nor, loves a good deal

Interest on Taxes.

Olympia, Wash.-In an appeal to
Attorney General w. P. Bell from the
prosecuting attorney of Jefferson
county treasurer is authorized to COL
lect interest on delinquent taxes, the
attorney general says he is.
Under Attorney General Bells opin-
ion the Seattle Electric company will
have to pay to King county s29,S06,-
92, with accrued interest at the rate
OF Is per cent since May last, repre-
senting interest on unpaid personal
property taxes. -.
Bells opinion reverses that of the
state tax commission, which ruled
that the statute did not include in
terest. Both King and Pierce coun-
ties are now expected to sue corpor-
ations for interest due.

Uncle sam on Cougars Trail.

Dayton, Wash.-In the role of trap
per. Uncle Sam is to take n hand in
the capture of "Old Sleuth," the gl-
gantic cougar whose depredations in
the last two years have won him the
enmity of every settler in the Blue
mountains, where he has slain not
less than 25 horses, cows and hogs,
not to mention numerous sheep and
other small live stock Eluding the
snares of veteran hunters and trap
pers and continuing his plundering
against great odds, the days of the
big animal seem Numbered.
Forest rangers announced today
that Uncle Sam had provided tempt
ing poisons which will be scattered
along the accustomed trail of "Old
Sleuth" when snow falls. Even this
ruse may fail, for "Old Sleuth" rarely
eats stale flesh.

Washington's Insane.

Olympia.-One person in each 23S
in the state of Washington is insane,
criminal or feeble-minded and a
charge upon the state. The insane
and feeble minded in private institu-
tionc and the criminals in the county
and city jails are not included in this
count by the state board of control.
The ratio in 1890 was on abnor-
NAL person to 546 inhabitants. in
1900 one to 315. The legislature will
be asked to provide more prison cells
and more rooms for the feeble mind
ed and insane.

ELEPHANT is REAL HERO.
Animal Rescues 1000 Persons From
EJood Then Sinks Exhausted

Animal Rescues 1000 Persons From
Flood, Then Sinks Exhausted.
Calcutta.-Pilgrims from the North
are telling wierd tales about the
drowning disasters at the recent
bathing festivities at Sorong, in the
Agra division. The most remarkable
of these which is attested by score
OF witnesses, concerns the remarkable
life-saving achievements of a noble
and intelligent elephant named Jung
Bahadur.
A band of many thousand pilgrims
had encamped on strip of land near
the Ganges that had never before been
flooded But during the night the
erratic river poured over its banks
with tremendous force and complete
ly overflowed the encampment.
Hundreds Of cooler-headed pilgrims
saved their lives by linking arms and
standing up against the flood, which
reached almost up to their shoulders.
But scores of others, panic-stricken,
were swept into deeper water and
drowned. Jung Bahadur, who be-
longs to a man named Koer Jaswant
Singh, was on visit to the fair and
| was at once INV SSA ''NS'
Ropes were tied to his trappings and
he swan out to the marooned pill
grims to return with a score or more
clinging to his sides After despatch
ing one load, he straightway plunged
in again and kept up his noble work
OF rescue for hours till late in the
forenoon, when he became completely
exhausted. But then almost all the
pilgrims had made the trip Persons
on the shore estimated that the noble
animal saved over 1000 lives. He re-
covered the next day and has received
several costly decorations for his he
roism. Needless to say, the grateful
pilgrims have arranged to keep him
the rest of his life on the fat Of the
land.
The fatalities by drowning amount
ed to over 200 but had it not been for
Jung Bahadur they would have
reached at least thrice that number
