POLICEMAN SHOE BY ROBBERS.

After shooting and painfully wound
ing Mounted Pa;roman J. j. McGuire
in Minneapolis, Mimi, carly yc>ter-
day, three robbers fired their rcvofvcrs
in the air until assistance arrived and
then escaped.
Mcclure came upon the men while
they were working at the back door OF
the grocery store Of \. Boynum, and
was about to cover them with his re-
volver, when he stepped on a board
covered by snow and made noise,
which alarmed the robbers. They
flashed their light on the officer and
fired bullet through the bones OF his
right arm.
Mcclure dropped his pistol, and,
though suffering great pain, picked it
up and fired wildly at his assailant-
The pain caused him to fall in heap
in the snow.
The robbers gathered around him
and inquired if he was seriously hurt.
Not bad" replied McGuira.
The men then fired their rcvolrers
iii the air and when they saw two men
running toward them they He'd.

KILLED BY HIS WIFE.

The hamlet of Holland, near Suffolk,
Va, the place OF several tragedies
during the past few years, was startled
yesterday when hewitt Whitehead, 80
years old, was shot to death by his
wife, Lucinda Whitehead. A single
charge OF gunshot disembowled White
head, and the end came within few
minutes.
Jealousy is supposed to have started
the trouble. The wife was having q
violent argument with Ada Harris, a
supposed rival for the affections of her
husband, and Whitehead was called
upon to take hand. During the
difficulty the shotgun was discharged,
but the wife claimed it was an accident.
She said she was trying to "break" the
gun olearn whether it was loaded.
A pistol, too, was in play, but was not
fred. The wife yesterday afternoon
was exonerated at an inquisition con-
Quoted by Coroners Luke and Joyner.

n Il
Michael Ormond, an old resident of

to his dead wife when he fell dying on

mourners in the church of st. Cecilia.

her goodby.
AS the family gathered about the
coffin in front of the altar in the
church, Ormond leaned heavily on the
glass which covered his wife's features.
His son and daughter picked him up,
carried him back to the pew. and sent
word to Father McGolrick, who hur-
ried back to the altar and asked the
mourners to return to their seats. A
physician was called and made hasty
examination while the priests we're ad-
ministertng the last rites OF the church
to Ormond. Before they had com.
pleted their ministration, the doctor
had said the man was dead.
Father McGolrick went to the altar
and told the assemblage. He ordered
the. funeral Of Mrs. Ormond to proceed.
The body was taken to Calvary Gene
terry and placed in a receiving vault to
remain there until her husband can be
laid by her side in the family lot.
The couple we're married 5S years

.x APPEAL FROM PERSIA.

Out OF the tangled web of diplomacy,
plot, and couuterplot that has wrapped
it about for centuries, the Persian
government has raised its voice in ap-
peal to the whole world-an appeal for
what it styles justice against Great
Britain and Russia. The first cry
reached the United States yesterday
bearing the seal OF the empire and the
signature OF Mostof- El-Manalik, presi-
dent OF the council. It is addressed to
the American people, through Il. II.
Topakyan, Persian consul general at
New York. The appeal is in Persian
and French and will make 5000
words when traslated.
The French copy, which was read
last night, sets forth in full the deal
ings OF Great Britain and Russia 10
Persian affairs, and charges that Brl-
taiu's bad faith has brought the Per
sian government to the brink of col
lapse.
The story untolded is one OF financial
dealings, joint diplomatic notes, reyo-
lutions, alleged inyasions OF Persian
soil by Russian and British armed
forces, nonnalIy to enforce collections,
but in reality, it is declared, swith
view to securing military andEnayal
bases in the European game. ss S.s::zss
The Persian government states that
through loan made to it by the Rus
sian government some years ago, and
which it has found itself unable to re-
pay because Great Britain and Russia
have thrown every obstacle in tho way
OF repayment, it is almost helpless and
unable to maintain order in certain
provinces, where Russian troops have
been quartercd, to enforce collections.
Great Britain, it is charged, agreed
that no other than civil means would
be used for collections, gel that coun-
try now stands idly by while Russia
pours regiments over the border.

SnsD HIS WIFE,

Some weeks ago Cornelius Pace, OF
Beverly, n. j., decided that he was
tired Of his wife and. after some nego-
tiations, sold the woman to Joseph
Flowers for SS.
Mrs. Pace, apparently satisfied, be-
came Flowers housekceper. Three
days later Pace became tired OF being
his own cook and endeavored to cancel
the trade. Flowers refused. Pace
had the couple arrested for bigamy.
In court he could not prove the charge,
but Flowers weakened and sent the
woman back.
That was last Sunday. Yesterday
morning all three appeared at the
county Jail at Mount Holly and Pace
proposed to pay $40 toward divorce,
so his wife might marry Flowers.
Flowers agreed to pay any additional
expense.

There are two or three incidents
which could be cited, II II were neces-
sary, but it Is hardly probable that
the friction will last for any great
length OF time.
The Inter-City League has set Of
rules, all drawn up in black and white.
but at the same time there is a YER
bal rule or understanding among the
managers to the effect that the mana

new SCORING
RULESCONFUSE
Eastern League Adopts Com
pliCated System Of Re-
porting Games
TIMELY HIT" COLUMN
ONE OF INNOVATIONS

From all over the Eastern League
circuit baseball reporters are sending
up despairing cry for help and from
present indications It looks as itevery
official scorer on the circuit Will be
compelled to hire an expert account
ant to help him figure out the aver
ages of the ball players.
The cry for assistance is due to the
new rule just laid down by Secretary
Ernest Lanigan, of the league, in
which he orders two new methods
Of scoring ball games, TO be added
to the already long list Of figures that
are kept Without a doubt the fans
will be interested in the new scheme
and the players. too, for every ball-
player can talk averages by the string
and the more you give him to talk
about the better he likes it, but the
scorer has side to the matter and
his is cry of complaint.
In connection with keeping a rec
ord of stolen bases Secretary Lani-
gan proposes TO note the players
thrown out on attempted steals. He
figures that better line can thus
be kept on the individual ability Of q
base runner, as it will be easy TO
compare the number Of stolen bases
with the number of times the runner
has attempted to purloin an extra
sack. Also in the same connection
he wants the record Of how many base
runners are thrown out by catchers to
show the wing abilities Of the men
behind the bats.
His second idea is to have a new
column added TO the scoring sheet
called the Timely Hit" column. Any
time player swats out safety, when
his team mate is on the base crying
to be advanced. he will have timely
hit chalked up to his credit.
Lanigan's idea of serving out food
for the fans to discuss is all right
but he is stirring up considerable
trouble for the press box. In the lore
Of the baseball game a timely hit IN
most cases refers to a safety that re-
suits In a score. But how about the
man who cracks out a single with a
runner on first, and then the side Is
retired before he gets as far as the
home plate? Will he get a timely hi
to his credit or not? Thus far Lani
gan has not explained
