CAPTAIN DIED A HERO.
Gilmore Meets Death In Trying to
Save His Men.

Steubenville. O.-The heroism of
Captain Stephen Oliver Gilmore OF
the steamboat Little Fred, which turn.
ed turtle and sank, drowning her cap.
tain, during last Thursday afternoon
has just transpired. River Pilot Lar
ry Crawford, who was aboard the
Little Fred, told of the efforts made
by Captain Gilmore to awaken the
men who were sleeping when it was
feared the boat would turn over
Pilot Crawford said the last words
he heard Captain Gilmore speak were:
81 must awaken those fellows who
are sleeping, for we are liable to turn
over any minute" Captain Gilmore
started toward the stern of the boat
and when part way steam pipe burst
and enyeloped him in hot steam. In
arother moment the boat turned on
its side and every man was struggling
in the water.
The skiff carried on the upper deck
hoated off half full of water and with
but one oar, but Crawford got into
the boat and picked up three other
men on his way to where Captain Gil
more was floating on his back. The
captain was an expert swimmer and
seemed to be in no danger at the
time, but when they got the skiff
within about four yards from him the
Oody sank from sight and did not re-
appear. The body has not been re-
covered. 1t is thought possible that
Captain Gilmore was injured by the
bursting of the steam pipe and that
this will shown when the body is re-
covered.

The Moral.

Prof John Spencer Bassett, author
Of "a Life of Andrew Jackson" is ac-
customed to illustrate his lectures at
Smith college with incidents in Amer
lean history. On one occasion he re-
peated well-known story in regard
to Stephen A. Douglas, closing with a
moral which aroused peculiar interest.
Douglas, as a narrative luns, was
once sitting in a profound sleep in the
corridor of the capitol when Adeline
Cults, a Washington belle, passed by.
She did not know the sleeper, but was
struck with compassion on seeing
such a splendidly intellectual face
under such conditions, and STOPPING
down laid her handkerchief over it TO
proect it from the flies. Douglas on
awakening found the handkerchief,
sought the owner, and eventually
married her. There was a pause, and
then the professor added "You Ia
dies, the moral OF this story is: Have
your pocket handkerchief marked

Hamburg, May 16.-In the presence
of a little group of Danish courtiers
and local police officials an attendant
in the Morgue here drew back the
white sheet covering one of eight
bodies stretched on a marble slab and
revealed the form of Frederick VIII,
King of Denmark. The monarch had
died suddenly in public square few
hours before. Being unidentified his
body was sent at once to the Morgue.
In the belief that the King had re-
tired at his usual hour, Queen Louise,
Prince Gustav. and Princesses Thyra
and Dagmar were sleeping in their
apartments. Not until his Majesty's
body was recovered from the morgue
and brought to the hotel shortly after
o'clock in the morning did the
Queen and her children learn of the
Kings death.
1t was a grotesque yet picturesque
fate that befel the King. For years
he had been another Haroun-al-Ras.

where he chanced to be and seeing it

The respectable old gentleman who
breathed his last on the pavement
was King Frederick VIII, whose sud.

the courts of Europe in mourning. The
Kings body was taken to the Sailors
Hospital.
There was nothing to identify him;
he had a gold watch bearing a mono.
gram, few coins were in his pockets,
but no papers. So his body was sent
to the morgue and placed on a marble
slab, common clay with eight others.
A search was started by the police
hours before, when King Frederick
failed to return from his stroll.
Finally the searchers went to the
morgue, disclosed their identity and
the nature of their mission and were
admitted. The valet recognized the
body of the King, and it was removed
to the hotel.
The body of King Frederick was

Urue Sportsmen's Aid.

Sportsmen in all parts of Pennsyl
vania are being urged by Dr. Joseph
Kalbfus, secretary Of the state game
commission, to use their best efforts
in behalf OF the bill now pending in
congress to give the federal govern
ment control of all migratory birds.
The secretary takes the position that
the destruction of such birds is a
loss to the nation and writes: "a
great harm and wrong is being i'm
posed upon us by many of the people
of other states who are disposed to
follow the old time policy of destroy
ing everything they can reach regard
less of consequences to others. II
seems to me that it is anything but
fair for us to protect various birds
useful to agriculture in this state and
then see the same birds destroyed in
other states and this will be done just
as long as the protection of these
birds devolves upon the state authori
ties alone" DR.. Kalbfus says that
such legislation is important if many
species of birds are to be saved for
the future.

DELAYED Pending other Trials.

Wytheville, Va, May 1S.-The jury
in the case of Floyd Allen, leader OF
the outlaw clan, reported verdict OF
murder in the first degree.
Allen was charged with killing
Commonwealth Attorney William
Foster in the Hillsville Court House
shooting affray on March IA.
Allen was hopeful to the last that
the jury would not agree. The jury
first reported to Judge Staples that
they were unable to arrive at ver
dict. Judge Staples sent them back
for further deliberation and they were
locked up for the night.
The jury reported an improper YER
dict at first, the foreman stating, I'VE
hold the prisoner guilty" without spe-
cifying the degree. Judge Staples or
dered the jurors to return to their
room and prepare complete state
ment. The twelve men trooped back
TO the court room moment later with
the first degree specification.
The crowd that packed the court
room made no demonstration when
the verdict was announced. Detec-
tives had previously watched every
spectator to prevent any possibility of
a repetition of the Hillsville tragedy
and plain clothes men were scattered
throughout the crowd.
Told to stand to hear the verdict,
which means that he must die in the
electric chair in Richmond, the prison
er hobbed slowly to his place, his
face grim and stern, but drawn in
lines of pain. In the words of the
mountaineers in the court room:

DELIBERATELY PLANNED CRIME,
Police So Charge Accused in Johns.
town Murder Case.

Johnston, Pa.-The police authori'
ties here declare that in connection
with the assault May on Fern Davis,
the pretty choir singer, in Conemaugh
they have unearthed evidence to
show that George Henderson, her con
tessed s.ayer, attacked her because
she refused to elope.
Henderson had supper on the night
of the murder at the home Of neigh
Dor, where his mother and sister were
spending the day, and the police say
he took every precaution against
their returning home early. The con
dition of the dining room at the Hen
derson home, where the attack was
committed, bore evidence that Miss
Davis had made a brave fight. Appar'
emily the girl had been struck while
attempting to escape from the room.
The police say a note, pinned to
the victims dress, told Mrs. Hender
son who the girl was, this action be-
ing due to the fact that neither Mrs.
Henderson nor her daughter Fannie
was acquainted with the young wo
man. The note, is is said, read;
Mother, this is Miss Davis"
Further evidence that the assault
had been carefully planned was the
fact that q package, said to have beer
blood-besmeared, contained severa!
shirts which the young man evidently
intended taking with him.
The exact occurrences at the Hen
derson home probably never will be
known unless the youthful prisoner
at the trial chooses to make full con
fession. The prosecution says that
a heating stove in the room was knock
ed two feet from its position, and a
leg OF a couch was broken off. Miss
Davis hat was found in one place,
her coat in another, and her gloves in
another. The carefully wrapped
club, found by the officers when they
arrived, lay on the floor. The manner
in which it had been enclosed in a
carefully folded newspaper tied with
cord, was mute testimony that it had
been prepared beforehand.
That the note and shirts were no
found is declared by investigators to
be due to the fact that they had been
burned in the hope of protecting
young Henderson.
1t is declared the girls neck bore
marks of fingers, indicating that an
attempt had been made to choke her
into submission or to death.

This is not state affair alone. The

The explosion left a yawning open

the police and troops sent volley after

The police, holding torches, rushed
in and found GARNER dead and Wallet

One OF the most dramatic moments
of the battle was when, during a lull

Veuillemin, stepped from the building
and surrendered, leaving the men to
the bitter fight for their lives. The
woman had unwittingly been the
means of giving the police knowledge
of their whereabouts.

Copenhagen.-Ne of the Danish
rulers unexpected death amid sur
roundings so sensational spread con
sternation in the courts of Europe
and in his native land. Copenhagen
was plunged into mourning, and 1t
was with sorrowful hearts that resi-
dents of the Danish capital gathered
about the palace at p. IN. to acclaim
Christian X as their new ruler After
he had delivered a brief address OF
greeting, the King stood silently
tears gathering in his eyes, looking
down from the palace balcony on the
motionless crowd below Beside him
was Queen AleXandrine, who is sis
ter of the Crown Princess of Germany
and thus brings the two houses into
close relationship. She, too, seemed
almost overcome by the tragedy o,
King Fredericks death.
