ANARCHISTS IN
FIGHT TO DEATH
Battle With London Police
Until Cremated. L.
HELD OFF THE BESIEGERS

Officers Were Attempting to Capture
the Men Suspected for Murder Of
Detectives, but Failed Even With
the Assistance Of Troops-Place of
Refuge Finally Set on Fire and o.
cupants Cremated.
London, Jan. 4.-Battling to the
grim end against desperate odds "Pe-
ter the Painter" and Dutch Fritz"
reputed anarchists, went to their death
shouting defiance to the laws of Eng
land.
-Four companions, the police report,
persisted with them in the flames that
consumed their den in Sidney street.
not far from the heart of London.
Only the charred bodies of the two
desperadoes wanted for the assassina-
ton of three policemen two weeks ago
have been recovered.
When their house had been riddled
with bullets from the guns of police
and soldiers and set on fire the
trapped men clambered to the roof and
there made their last stand, firing at
the crowds below and ieering their
assailants until the upper supports of
the building gave way and the outlaws
were swallowed up in the seething
flames.
Machine Guns Called For.
The affair took on the dimensions
OF veritable battle. The civil au~
thorities finally became masters of the
situation. At one time the besieging
force called for machine guns, but
these were not brought into actual
use. A member of the ministry, Home
Secretary Winston Churchill, visited
the scene when the fighting was at it's
height and assisted in the work OF
subduing the remarkable outbreak.
The extent of fatalities and injured
became known slowly, as the injured
were carried away to widely sep
arated hospitals.
A corps of nurses were brought to
the vicinity and they treated the
wounded, among whom were a few
spectators who had been struck by
spent bullets.
The full list of casualties includes
the dead anarchists, two tiremen shot
dead as they entered the anarchists
retreat, seven firemen and two police
sergeants injured, one Scots guard
sergeant injured, one policeman and
two bystanders shot, Of the injured
at least three are believed to be ia
tally hurt.

THE SMART SHOES
FOR EVENING WEAR.
+.
They Are Adorned with Fluffy
Ribbon Ornaments

The smart shoes Of the season, both
for day and evening wear, are decorat.
ed with large bows. Like most other
pretty things, those bows are not
cheap, so they add considerably to
the first cost Of the slippers, but the
girl who has a little time to spare
can easily make them for herself, and
they will add to the attractiveness of
the plainest pair Of shoes. 1t is a
pretty fancy to let the bows match
the gown or hair ribbon with which
they are worn.
First there is a large rosette for
evening shoes. To make this you
need one and one-half yards Of ribbon
about one.half inch wide and q small
L.ece of black buckram or stiff linen
to serve as u mount. Never sew bows
straight on to the leather, for the
constant movement of the foot be.
meath them wear them out soon. .
Divide the ribbon into quarters, cut
two little round pieces Of buckram,
each one-half inch across, for the
mounts; gather the ribbon round the
buckram. taking care that the raw
ends are neatly fastened of. Stitch
the bows down to the shoes, sewing
through buckram, but not through the
| ribbon, for this would make it lie fat
and look depressed. and dowdy. The
center Of the rosette may be left
plain or finished or with a tiny buckle.
A sequin mount on a shoe Is also
pretty. and perhaps the smartest IL ir
the form Of a star. Trace the star or
the buckram and cut 1t out; sew the
sequins thickly on the silk and ther
cover the buckram with It, holding
the silk inplace BY strong stitches al
the Beads may be used in the
same waysabut they should be sewed
on firmly OF they viii soon wear OF.

EUROPEAN BARBARIANs.

They Thought They Were Civilized, but
China Was Told the Truth.
Mandarin Ho Kuei Fang Of China
was sent some years ago to Europe
by his government, and on his re-
turn he wrote a book, in which he
said regarding the tall houses:
"Thcy are so high that a man
could end his life by throwing him
self from the top. These lofty edi-
fees are destructive of the benefi-
cent spirits Of the wind and the
water. The devils Of the ocean Gu
ropcans) pay no attention to the in
fuences Of the earth and the genii
Of the air, though II most illus
trious ~literati and sages acknowl-
edge the existence Of these inhu-
ences. The result is that instead
Of erecting a pagoda to protect
themselves from plaques and floods
the barbarians squander their mon
ey on drains and bikes. Their ig-
norance is their only excuse. They
do not know that a pagoda keeps
away pestilence and attracts pros
perity and brings success to the
candidates Of the district at tho lit
erary examinations for the civil
service. The barbarians have not.
like us, proved these facts by the
experience of thousands Of years.
They contemn the white tiger, and
they are unaware that the dragon
causes floods and thunder and
earthquakes and typhoons."
The position of women was equal
ly alarming: "The devils Of the
ocean have overturned all the rules
Of rank and respect, ] had heard
that their women were nor hon
ored than their men, but / should
never have thought that this abcr-
ration was so general and so pro-
found. Thus on a narrow pave
ment the man always gives way to
the inferior creature. A husband
allows his wife to walk side by side
with him, and nobody laughs. He
may wen carry parcels for her with
out being Knocked at.
"And hat is not all. Men wait
at table until the women are seat
ed and then sit beside them and
show them all sorts of attentions.
I have even seen a man serve his
wife at meals before his own
father!"-Chicago News.

A Fish Story.

For the purpose of advertising
fishing rods a shopkeeper hung a
large rod outside his shop, with an
artificial fish at the end of it. Late
one night Perkins, who had been
dining a bit too we'll, happened to
see the fish. Going cautiously to
the door, he knocked gently.
"Who's there?" demanded the
shopkeeper from an upper window.
"Sh-h! Don't make a noise, but
come down as quietly as you can"
whispered Perkins.
Thinking something serious was
the matter, the man dressed and
stole downstairs.
"Now, what is it?" he inquired.
"Hist!" admonished Perkins.

FORCED A JUDGE
OUT OF OFFICE.
Ldwbreakers Find a Way to Get
Rid CT an Honest Man.

The late Judge ]. r. Lewis, who died
at Los Angeles recently, has the
unique distinction Of having resigned
a %judgeship without knowing it.
When Idaho was a wild territory,
without railroads and almost without
law, President Grant sent Judge Lewis
out to be supreme Judge Of the terri
tory. Lewis took with him some old
fashioned ideas of law enforcement
which did not suit the lawless dwellers
in the west of those days, and he i'm
posed sentences Oh them which spread
CONSERVATION among the evil doors.
They cast about for some e. to
get rid of him and hit upon the orig
inal scheme of forging his resignation
and sending it to the president.
n must have been a good forgery,
for Grant promptly accepted it and.
knowing how sadly courts were need
ed in Idaho in. those days, just as
promptly appointed a successor.
When Judge Lewis received notice
that his resignation had been accepted
he protested that he had not resigned
and never intended to resign. In fact,
he was not one of the resigning kind.
But Grant simply replied that not
only had his resignation been accepted,
but his successor had been appointed,
and that the appointment could not
be Cancelled. He found Lewis a way
out Of the difficulty by offering him the
annoinfmant nf chief ~iustioo' NJ the
supreme court Of Washington. This
being as good a job al the n out d
which the Idaho lawbreakers hat
euchered him, Lewis accepted, and
that. is how he came to be q power IL
the affairs Of Seattle and TO acquire
riches which he enjoyed in his old agt
in California.-Portland Oregonian.

Thousand Islands in the St. Law
renee river claim that they are the
smallest inhabited islands in the

distinction, the island upon which
this lighthouse is built being only

STEALING ONES THUNDER.
Story Of the Birth Of Popular Figure
Of Speech.

Story Of the Birth Of . Popular Figure
Of Speech.
To a successful saddler, whose
name was Dennis, was born in 1857
a son.. who was .christened John.
The 10y early in life showed a de-
fcided fondness- for books end seon
became an omnivorouis reader. He
was sent to school at Harrow and
later was graduated from Cam
bridge. He was admitted to good
society, where his ready wit won
him much attention, and he might
have become one Of the mostvpopu-
lar men of his time had it not been
for his inordinate self conceit, his
irritable temper and his intemper-
ance.
he early aspired to literary fame
and wrote a number of dramas,
some poetry and political articles in
favor of the Wing party. He was
not, however, a success in a literary
way and became a caustic, cross
grained critic, attacking most mer.
cilessly the poetry of the day. Ad-
dison's "Cato" and Pope's Grape Of
the Lock" received some of his Sc
verest structures. Pope, in revenge,
gave him a place in his great satire,
the "Dunciad," and later, in con-
nection with Swift, wrote a tract
called "a Narrative Of the Deplor-
able Frenzy of Mr.. John Dennis" -"
The plays of John Dennis were
nine in number, and upon an Incl
dent connected with one of these
plays rests his chief claim to fame.
This play was called "Appius and
Virginius." It was a tragedy and
was put on the stage. In the course
of the play a thunderstorm was
necessary, and the playwright in
vented a new way to make thunder.
It a Immediately approved by
both actors and manager, but after
a few presentations the play was
withdrawn as unsuccessful.
Soon after this withdrawal Den
mis- CHANGED to attend a perform
ancc Of "Macbeth" at the same
thcater. When the thunder was in
troduced Dennis at once recognized
the use of his invention. he rose
from his seat in the pit and ex-
claimed in an enraged voice: "See
how these rascals use me! They
will not let my play run and yet
they steal my thunder"
The phrase caught the fancy Of
the audience, and it soon passed
into common speech.
If, instead Of growing rancorous
over his nonsuccess in literature,
Dennis had turned his attention to
that branch of the worlds work
in which he had made something
worth stealing, he might have end
ed his days in afiuence. As it was
his necessities became so great that
a benefit performance was given
him at the Haymarket theater, and
for this performance the man whom
he had so abused, Alexander Pope,
wrote the prologue.-Chicago Rec
ord-Herald.

Licenses For Washerwomen.

Licenses for washerwomen is the
latest plan of Mayor William S. Jor-
dan of Jacksonville. Fla. who has IN
nounced that he would urge uRon the
city council the necessity of passing
IN ordinance requiring persons who
take in washing to register with the
city recorder. The mayor believes
such an ordinance is necessary rs a
sanitary measure, 80 that clothes may
not be taken into homes where con-
tagious diseases exist. The proposed
ordinance also contemplates the idea
of protecting the public against the
loss Of clothing.
