BOY BRIGAND is A TERROR
Youngster, Sentenced to Prison, Tells
of Daring Deeds He Had
Planned to Court.

Dushore, Pa.-When the law through
the fundamentally Of Judge Max
well, put its. hands on Peter Striney
and sent him to the Eastern peniten-
tiary at Philadelphia for from five to
ten years, it made short shrift of a
young bandit who, by his own confess
sion, had started on a career of crime
melted by lurid reading and a natur
al bent for adventure and had he not
been captured as he was-and that
was at a point of pistof-this part
Of Pennsylvania ere this summer was
over would have been infested with q
band Of robbers whose leader at least
would have stopped short Of nothing,
not even murder.
Even before the court. as he stood
to hear sentence pronounced. Striney.
with not little braggadocio, declared
that he had spent part Of his money
to buy, firearms. SO that he would be
equipped for highway robbery. His
prospective fields Of operations were
the lonely roads OF Sullivan and Brad
ford counties, territory with which
he fs we'll acquainted, having been
reared In Sullivan county, and
before his last escapade, fOr
which he is now sent to prison, he
was sent to the<reformatory at Hunt
ingdon, for crime committed while
yet only a STRIPPING Of boy.
Striney was sentenced by Judge
Maxwell for robbing the Susquehanna
& New York railroad station at Pow
ell in broad day.

Guatama Figure, Made Of Carved
Teak, Said to Walk Around the
House at Night.

n. London.-For months past the at
PENDANTS in the Indian section Of the
Victoria and Albert museum have
kept observing eyes on a weird look
ing Guatama Buddha figure, which en-
tered the museum year ago with a
sinister reputation. A lady sold it to
the museum authorities on account of
Its supposed uncanny ways in her
house. So far the figure, which is
made Of carved teak and stands seven
feet high, has exhibited nc signs of
unrest in its new home, but the at
PENDANTS, primed with a knowledge Of
its past record, have not yet relaxed
their attention. @5g
Its history, so far as he knows it,
was related recently by c. Stanley
Clarke, the officer in charge of the In
dian section. "The lady from whom
we purchased it," he said, "told me
that it belonged to her father, sea
captain, who acquired 1t in lower Bur
ma about 1853. He sailed with,it for
England. Near Liverpool the ship
caught fire and the superstitious sail
ors, believing the Buddha to be the
cause, threw it overheard. Z.

harbor. Soon after the Buddha wash

daughter. Then the trouble began.
Everybody in her house, she told me,
had become frightened of the Buddha.

GERM is SLAIN BY HOT. AIR
French Physician Discovers New
Method Which May Revo1u-
tionixe Treatment.

Paris.-A remarkable new treatment
Of diphtheria has just been commune
Gated by the distinguished physician.
Robert Rendu, to the Lyons Medical
association.
In the course Of his experiments
with the bacilli Of this disease Dr..
Rendu found that they were extreme
~ sensitive to heat, and he was able
to kill them in fifteen minutes at a
temperature of so degrees centigrade
(122 degrees Fahrenheit) or in one
minute at 80 degrees (176 degrees
Fahrenheit).
To apply such heat to the mucous
membrane in the throat in which
diphtheria microbes congregate the
inhalation of hot air seemed a posi-
BILE method, and in experiments with
himself the investigator found to his
own surprise that he was able with
out any difficulty to inhale air at 100
degrees or the boiling point (212 de-
grees Fahrenheit) for two minutes at
a time. =
Cases in which this treatment has
already been tried on diphtheritic pa
tents are stated to be completely sue
cessful, but some doubts exist as to
the hot air or to the serums, applied
at the same time.

ATOM Duty. ~

Washington.-Sulp emitted by
the geyser craters of Japan in an al
most pure state Is refined sulphur in
the meaning of the tariff law, although
the substance has been untouched by
the hand of man. The board of gen.
eral appraisers at New York, the
treasury department is advised, has
held that such sulphur is dutiable at
81 a ton. The importers asserted It
was entitled to free entry as crude
sulphur. -Es
The issue was raised over an impor-
tation from Bungo province, Japan,
which was 99.9S per cent. pure, al
though it had been subjected to no ar
tificial process In that province there
are. perhaps, hundred geyser era
tiers from which sulphur is emitted.
The board held that it was immaterial
whether the heat necessary to the re-
finement of sulphur was supplied
through the existence of some abnor.

nearly half century the man had
steadfastly refused to divulge the Sc

the reason of his abandonment by a
strange vessel.
One afternoon in August, 1868, two
fishermen saw an unknown schooner
tack into the harbor. A boat was low

At first no official suspicion was en-

guilt Of the murder Of her hus-

bering the circumstances Of Faure's
death, was Of a different opinion.
Nine. Steinheil herself, we'll aware
of the trend of public opinion, was in
defatigable in her visits to the heads
Of the police department, constantly
ready with new suggestions, and In
sistent in her demands that the Grim
mails be brought to Justice. She ap-
pealed to the Paris press for assist

1908, brought an accusation against
the servant, Couillard, and against the
son of her cook, Alexandra Wolnf, i'm
plicating Nine Wolff, an old and
trusted servant, as an accessory be-
fore the fact The evidence against
Couillard consisted of a pearl from
one Of Nine. Steinheil's stolen rings,
which was found in his pocketbook.
She admitted later that she had
placed it there herself, in order to
frighten him into confession.
The accused persons were promptly
discharged from custody. but by this
time Nine. Steinheil had involved
herself in such q network of false
hoods and contradictions, especially
in connection with the stolen jewelry,
which yet was found to be still in her
possession, that suspicion was fully
directed against her. On the night of
November rs, 1908, she confessed her
completely in the murder, and was ar
rested, subsequently retracting the
confession. Her trial was not begun
until November Of the following year.

to touch upon her relations with sew

Marguerite Steinheil was shown to be
the latest of long line Of historic
French courtesans, whose opportuni-

had she lived under an emperor or
