Thomas Jefferson ran to the nearest
rotting log, but one of the negroes was
before him with a blazing pitch-pIne
splint. There was respectful recou
in the opposing ranks which presently
became a somewhat paniciky surge to
the rear. The shovelers, more than
half Of whom were negroes, had not
come out to be blown from a lannon's
mouth by a grim faced veteran who
was SO palpably at home with the tools
of his trade.
That's right; keep right on goin'!"
yelled the ironmaster, waving his blaz-
ing slow match dangerously near to
the printing. Keep it up"
The panic had spread by it's own
contagion, and the invaders were
fighting among themselves for" place on
the fat-cars. And while yet the rear
guard was swarmiug upon the engine,
hanging by toe and hand-holds where
1t could, the train was backed rapidly
out of range. Caleb Gordon kept his
pine splint alight until the echoes of
the engines exhaust came family from
the overhanging cliffs of the mountain.
They've gone back to town, and
reckon the fires plum out for to-day.

But the Major would not mount and
so the two men walked together as far
as the manor-house gates, with Thorn

the mare.
1t was no matter of wonder to him
that his father and the Major marched
in solemn silence to the gate of part

ously when the Major wheeled abruptly
at the moment of leave taking and
Wrung his fathers hand.

LYONS MAIL STORY REVIVED.

Descendant of LeSurques Petitions
Government for Annuity.
Nine. Behagne, an impoverished
widow past middle age, who earns a
slender living by manual labor, has
by somewhat naive petition to the
French government, reinvested the
old story of THE Lyons Mail" with an
interest something like that of actu-
atty, the Berlin correspondent Of the
New York Times says.
The most popular compendiums Of
history relate how man named Jo-
seph Lesurques was guillotined in
1897 as one of the several highway
men who killed the post courier trav-
cling between Lyons and Paris and
robbed him of letters and packages
containing some millions Of francs. 1t
was afterward proved, at least in pop
uiar estimation, that Lesurques was
innocent. This fact was made the
basis Of one Of the most successful
melodramas ever played.
Nine. Behagne, who claims to be
lineal descendant of Lesurques, de-
established about 1853 by Napoleon
Ill for each successive eldest female
member of the Lesurques family, and
that it now ought rightfully to come
to her. She says it is only $50 year,
and was last received by her great
aunt, who died in an almshouse.
Yet she also asserts that it was
granted as consolation to the descend
ants of Lesurques for the conf1scation
Of property said to have yielded an
income Of $4,000 year by the French
government in 1897.
Apparently Nine. Behagne believes
her own story, but officers Of the gov
eminent whose duty it is to investi-
gate have stated that there is not the
slightest documentary proof of any
such pension ever being granted.
No one knows the exact spot in the
cemetery at Pere la Chaise where Lee
surques, the victim of errant justice
in the Courier de Lyons affair, was
buried after his decapitation, but
monument was erected to his memory
in the cemetery by his widow and
children on a site acquired by them in
perpetuity.
Besides it's permanent Inscriptions,
the monument has borne from time to
time many bitter anathemas against
human justice. The government, feel
ing itself outraged at these legends.
has repeatedly caused their removal.
The revival of interest in the story
Of Lesurques. since the publication of
the claim of his great-great-grand
child, has led to a renewal of the pill
grimages to the monument which were
popular in the early part of the last
century.

Verdict Rounds Out One of Strangest
Careers of Woman in Crime
Ever Recorded.

VENICE, May 21.-Countess Maria
of the murder of Count Komarowski, aft
er trial lasting ten weeks, and was
sentenced to eight years Imprisonment.
The verdict in the court of criminal as
size rounds out one of the strangest and
most sensational careers of woman in
crime recorded in the generation.
With the countess, her two lovers, DR..
Naumof and Lawyer Prilukoff, were
likewise convicted, the lawyer receiving
a sentence of ten years and Naumoff of
three years.
Elise Perrier, the countess maid, who
was indicted for completely in the crime,
was acquitted.
The public prosecutor, in his address,
reviewed the crime and the events lead
ing up to it, told graphically how the
countess, after her husband had divorced
her, had agreed to marry Count Roma
rowsi if he would insure his life for
100000 in her favor; how the count
did so; and how, instead of marrying
him, the countess arranged with Prilu-
koff to kill him. DR.. Naumoff, however,
it was charged, did the actual shooting.
The prosecutor urged that DIR. NaumoH
was guilty of premeditated homicide,
that the countess and Prilukoff between
them instigated the crime, and the maid,
Elise Perrier. was an accessory.

that they were irresponsible for their
actions because they were completely I'M

AERONAUTS IN CALM
BALLOON CENTENNIAL LANDS IN
MICHIGAN.
Aspirants for Lahm Cup Are Unable to
Find Any Air Currents, So
They Descend.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, May q.
After an aerial flight lasting twenty
two hours, during part of which
perilous journey was made through
dense fog over Lake Michigan, II. e.
Honeywell and w. F. Asmann, aero
nauts who left st. Louis Thursday att
ernoon in the balloon Centennial in an
effort to establish a new long distance
record. landed shortly after o'clock
Friday afternoon at the little town of
Shiloh. Mich.
They had covered 40 miles when the
monster gas bag, which carried them
safely through varying air currents and
other obstacles. had been anchored. 1t
was their ambition TO surpass the Lahm
cup record of 731 miles, now held by A.
Holland Forbes, but they were forced to
abandon the trip on account of a dead
calm.
Shmortly after descending at Shiloh,
Honeywell and Asmann went to 1onia,
ten miles distant, where they boarded
a train for Chicago.
The balloonists left st. Louis at 500
o'clock Thursday afternoon and travelled
in a northerly direction. At o'clock
Friday morning Lh6 Centennial appeared
over Kenosha, Wis, with west wind
carrying the air navigators rapidly to-
ward the lake.
1--WE got along finely" said Honeywell,
enjoying a swell trip, until we encount-
cred a dead clam over central Michigan.
We dropped gently and landed without
the slightest Jar right in front of the
Pere Marquette depot at Shiloh, exactly
on hour before train time, giving us just
time enough to wrap up our pack and
catch the train. Our trip over Illinois to
Kenosha, Wis, was in every way excel
lent and we made good time.
1--WE sailed at high altitude last night
on account of transforms below us, and
found it exceedingly cold. We crossed
the lake at an altitude of 1000 feet. AS
we approached Grand Haven we were
greeted with salutes from an excursion
boat on the lake."

KING GEORGE Is
NOT A DRUNKARD
NEW RULER HAS ALWAYS BEEN
ONE OF MOST ABSTEMIOUS
OF MEN.
DRINKS ONLY GINGER ALE.
Nearer Teetotaler Than Any Monarch
Who Has Ever Assembled En-
glish Throne.

LONDON, May 23-King George
has now been on the throne for a
week and it is about time the truth
was spoken with emphasis in order
that mass of lying calumnious state
once for all. says William T. Stead in
cabling the New York Journal.
It is pure ignorance, no doubt, which
may or may not have had some origin
in fact in the remote past, but the
story now current that the new King
is confirmed drunkard is neither
more or less than an Internal lie. So
far from the King being a drunkard
he is nearer teetotaler than any King
who has assembled the English throne.
For years past / know, on first hand
authority from those who have lived
in his house, dined at his table and
travelled with him at hnme and abroad.
he has been one of the most abstemi-
Gus of men. He has never claimed this
as a virtue on his part.
Kings Digestion Poor.
my father" he would say land all
the men Of the older generation, could
take their wine and never be the worse
for it. AS for me, simply cannot. If
I were to take a glass of champagne
it would simply bowl me over, hence
I have to stick to my ginger ale, not
because I like it, but because it is the
only thing that likes me-"
The simple truth Of the matter is
that the Kings digestion is very bad.
A very little thing upsets it and when
he suffers from indigestion his lips be-
come livid, his nose reddens and his
hands grow cold. These symptoms
which are very familiar in certain
forms of indigestion, have led unthink-
ing persons to imagine that the king
was suffering from intoxication. when
in reality he had never touched either
wine or spirits.
I was told the other day by those
who know him we'll that it is nearly
two years since he touched a drop of
alcohol. About that l can say nothing.
All that I know is that those who know
him are the most indignant at the per
sistent circulation of stories as to his
fondness for strong drink.
No Truth in Reports.
The contrast between the universal
outpouring of alteration which has
flooded the press for the late King and
his successor and the extraordinary
imprinted, but almost universal express
sion Of opinion as to the character Of
George V, is a very notable phenome-
non. 1t is an amazing fact that three
out of four that you meet will tell you
that King George is a drunkard, but
every persons who knows him, without
exception, will assure you that there is
not an atom Of foundation for the
calumny. Such widespread opinion is
difficult to kill, and when people are
so convinced about the matter as to
take to praying publicly for the con-
version of 1.-The drunken King" it is evil
dent that the aureoIe with which the
late King has been invested will be as
sumed with some difficulty by his son
