The burden OF Prussia's military
state. not spared even to the babes in
their cradles. has proved too much for
some of the younger members OF the
royal families. In 1.-THE House OF
Hohenzollern" Mr.. Brayley Hodgetts
mentions that the two sons whom the
first crown princess of Prussia bore
her husband tat the beginning OF the
eighteenth century, both died in their
cradles. one from a nervous shock
caused by the salute from heavy gunA
with which his arrival was heralded
and the other from the burden of a
golden crown which was placed on his
head after baptism.

SALAMANDER SUPERSTITION.
How the Reptile May Have Got It's
Fireprcof Reputation.

Fireprcof Reputation.
There is a very ancient belief that
the reptile known as the salamander
is proof against fire 1t is not known
how this superstition had its rise. but
It will probably always continue to be
held by some people, although II has
been conclusively shown thar the fire
proof qualities of the creature exist
only In imagination
De Stejneger reptlian expert at the
Smithsonian institution. tells a story
which may furnish a reason for the
continuance Of the belief in question.
Once 1 was camping out. he says,
with party of friends. hunting and
fishing. We had lighted big tire
using for fuel several old logs. While
we were seated around watching the
progress of some cookery In which we
were engaged young lady AT my
side gave little scream and pointed
into the flames. looked. and there
was small saamander crawling
right out from among the glowing
embers 1t walked away unhurt and
MADE It's escape
Now. that salamander had occu-
pied hole In one OF the logs used
for fuel. Several species OF it's kind
i've In old tree trunks. Doubtless this
one found that it was getting uncom-
fortably hot and crawled OUT. Being
moist and Shiny. Its body was protect
ed from injury by tire long enough to
enable ii to escape through the EN-
beers. But the sight OF the lizard de-
liberately making its appearance from
the midst of the fire was certainly
very surprising. Any ignorant person
might easily have been led TO imagine
that the creature was treproot. 1t
seemed to me quite probable that the
superstition took its origin from Just
such occurrences. New York World

MRS.NATIONDEAD
FAMOUS SALOON SMASHER sue,
CUM5S TO PARESiS AFTER
LONG ILLNESS,
IN A KANSAS SANITARIUM
Through Her Efforts the Prohibition
Law of Her Adopted
State Has Been
Strengthened.

LeaVenwortll, Kansas. Carrie
Nation, the Kansas saloon smash
er, died here. Paresis was the cause
of death. For several months Mrs.
Nation had been in poor health and
on Jan. % she entered the local SAM
tarium, in which she died, hoping
there to recover from a nervous break
down.
1t became evident several days ago
that Mrs. Nation could not recover,
and DR.. A. l.. Suwalski, physician at
the sanitarium, informed her that the
end was near. She said nothing, but
smiled. Worry over a lawsuit which
had been brought against a lecture
bureau for alleged failure to pay for
services or the platform is said to
have caused her to break down.
Mrs. Carrie Nation was born in
she married a nan addicted to intoxi-
cants, which created in her an intense
aversion to the saloon. When he died
she determined to devote her life to
the suppression of the liquor traffic.
Later she moved to Kansas and mar
ried David Nation, who sympathlzed
with her temperance principles, but
from whom she was afterwards di-
yorced.
Mrs. Nations first saloon smashing

bond. On Jan. u, 1901, armed with
her favorite weapon, a Ratchet, Mrs,
Nation made another raid in Wichita.
This time she smashed two joints.
In the next three months Mrs. Ma,
ton surprised the jointists in various
Kansas towns, appearing unheralded
and leaving a trail of ruined barroom
fixtures wherever she went. Many
iointists became terrorstriCken when
the militant temperance advocate ap'

locked their places and fled before the
Ratchet could get into action.

and joints be closed at once. Smash

CHINESE ship TO MEXICO
TWELVE MILLION PESOS DE.
MANDED BY YELLOW EMPIRE.
Apology for Insult to Dragon Flag is
Enacted as Additional
Penalty.

Mexico City, Mexico. - An indem-
Mexico City, June II. - An indem-
nifty of 10000, 900 pesos will be de-
manded by China for the slaughter of
Chinese subjects in Torreon. The de-
mand will be backed up by a cruiser
which is already on the way t Mexi-
can west coast points.
Three Investigators returned from
Torreon and placed in the hands of
Shung Hal Sun, charged d'affairs of
the Chinese legation, a detailed report
of the carnage. This shows 303 Chi
nese killed, many OF them in a most
inhuman manner, and that besides a
bank and clubhouse, SO places of bust
ness were sacked.
In addition to the indemnity, an
apology for insult to the Chinese flag
will be demanded, also that aid be eX-
tended to destitute families of the vic
Tins, that the guilty be punished and
the constitutional guarantees of pro-
lection to Chinese lives and property
be made effective. OF the II, 000 600
pesos indemnity, 1000, 600 is for prop
erty damage and the remainder for the
loss of lives.
Commenting upon the matter, Mr..
Shung said that owing to the savage
manner in which the Chinese were
killed, there has been no attempt by
his nation TO fix the amount of the
indemnity by prescribed methods.

Lieutenants Abandon Hope.

Lieutenants of Senator Stephenson
have fiocked around the legislative
chambers for several weeks in the
hope of framing up some plan to de-
feat the passage of the resolution
asking for a federal senate probe.
They could not think of any way in
which to accomplish that and were
forced to stand helplessly by and
watch the resolution adopted,
The assembly Is expected to act on
the resolution about the middle of
next week. Unless sentiment changes
greatly, the assembly VIII! concur in
the resolution by a large vote.
Charges of bribery and violation OF
the corrupt practices law were formally
made against Senator Stephenson by
State Senator j.. j. Blaine in the legis.
lature two years age. Filing of these
charges resulted in the appointment
of a joint investigation committee,
consisting OF five assemblymen and
three senator's. The assemblymen
were pro-Stephenson and the senators
anti-Stephenson. After sitting two
and one-half months, this committee
dissolved. the assembly end making a
report favorable to Stephenson and
the senate end recommending a con,
tinuance of the investigation. The
senate authorized its members to con
tinue the probe. On March 4. 1909
during the progress of the probe by
the senatorial committee. Stephenson
was elected. Three Democratic mem
bers Of the joint assembly walked out
of the chamber just before the vote
raj taken, and the absence of these
three members enabled Stephenson tc
get the necessary proportion OF the
votes remaining to elect him. The
senate investigating committee filed
It's report and recommendations short
ly after the present session of the
legislature opened. Upon this report
10 based the resolution adopted by the
senate yesterday.

His Friends Make no

Madison, Wis. The Wisconsin

Senator Isaac Stephenson bought his
seat in the United States senate, and
requesting that body to Investigate his
election. The resolution is the senate
judiciary committee substitute for the
Husting resolution, introduced early in
the session and similar In substance.
The vote on the adoption OF the COM
mittee resolution was 10 to 3. Senator
Whitehead, supporter of Stephenson,
voted present"
or the senators who voted for the
resolution all are Republicans except
ing Husting and Randolph, who are
Democrats and Gaylord, who is a So
cial Democrat. OF the senators who
voted against it, Albers is a Democrat
and Bodenstab and Thomas are Repub-
leans. Whitehead is a Republican, as
are the two members paired. Of the
absentees, all are Republicans except
Shower, who is a Democrat, and Zophy,
who is a Social Democrat.
Failure of the Stephenson men to put
up a fight against the adoption OF the
resolution was a surprise.
Supporters of Stephenson held a con,
ference shortly before the matter came
up in the senate and decided it would
be useless to offer any amendment

scene.
The oscillations moved from north
to south and opened assures in the
streets. Adobe houses crumbled, but
the dead in these cannot be numbered
at present. The shock was most Sc.

city, though buildings in the central
part OF the capital were rocked. The
