AUSTR|A'S NOTE
NOT So VIOLENT
HER ATTITUDE TOWARDS MON
TENEGRO THOUGHT TO BE
MUCH EXAGGERATED

LONDON, March 23.--Nothwith-
standing the statement issued AT
Vienna on Saturday that Austria hao
sent an ultimatum to- Montenegro, in
regard to the bombardment or the
Christian quarters of Scutari. the
forcible conversion of Albanian Ro-
man Catholics and the murder of a
Catholic friar, named Palitch, 1t is
believed in certain circles that Aus
tria's attitude is less violent than has
been reported. The anxiety over
Scutari, however, is great and news
of it's fall at any hour would surprise
nobody. The position Of the fnhabi-
tants is described as desperate owing
to the scarcity of food. An Austrian
steamship has been. ordered to hasten
to a port near Scutari with cargo OF
food, clothing and tents for the in
habitants
A dispatch from Cettinje says the
Montenegrin government admitted to-
day that Ii had received the Austrian
note. The official journal explains
that Father Palitch and fifty-nve
peasants accompiices were arrested
for melting the Alhanians against
the Montenegrins. They were being
taken to Ipek and Friar Paiitch tried
to escape. The military guard, after
calling on him three times TO stop,
fred and killed the priest and two
OF the peasants. The government has
opened an inquiry into the matter.
Dispatches from Vienna say that
Austrias acQuiescence in Russia's
proposal, that Djakova be incor-
porated as part of Servia, under GER
tain stipulationsN is confirmed and
that 1T has caused an oathurat- of
anger in the anti Baikanite press,
but that elsewhere 1t is regarded as
making for peace,

the will of her father, Freeman b.
Shedd, Miss Shedd will lose about
$4,000, 600 unless she marries and has
children, AS soon as this became
known the young woman was deluged
with marriage proposals.
These offers continue to arrive, but
it Is rumored that the daughter of
the late millionaire perfume manufac-
turer of Lowell, made her choice
some time ago. This will save the
letter carriers.
Mr.. Shedd died in Florida, leaving
between 100000 and 100000,
and a wife and daughter. When the
will was filed 1t was found that Mrs.
Shedd and her daughter are provided
for during their lives. They will have
the income of the money, but they
cannot dispose of 1t unless Miss Shedd
marries and has children. In case
she leaves no children at the time of
her death the money will be divided
among the Berry school OF Rome,

against some Of the present Justices
OF the peace who, the complainants
say, are SO ignorant that they can
not properly word a warrant, and
are so unreliable that they will issue

In certain instances, it is said, war

they would have no legal standing.

FINDS HIS COAT,

JOHNSON SEES HIS STOLEN GAR
MENT ON MAN IN FRONT
PEW or CHURCH.

Some time ago James Johnson.
colored. of Jackson Ward, had an
oyercoat stolen from him, and as
there was no one he suspected the
theft lapsed from his memory, and
he bought a new coat
Last night he went to Sixth Mount
Zion church, as he does every Easter,
and took q seat in a pew in the rear.
During a lulu in the singing he
looked about him, and then his eyes
fell upon the man sitting next to
him. He was attracted by the ap-
pearance of the overcoat. He let his
eyes travel slowly from the mans
feet to his head, and then he slowly
eased himself out of the pew as the
choir began another hymn. He raced
to the home OF Squire Purdie. whom
he acquainted with the fact that he
had lost an oVercoat and seen 1t
again in church--on another man.
But he had forgotten the mans name
in his haste. and Squire Purdie is
sued a John Doe warrant.
James raced back TO the church
to identify the prayerful thief. but
the latter had gone. He had taken
his departure and the overcoat as
the last notes OF the doxology died
away, and no one knew whittier he
had gone.

many" would be called upon TO tell
their stories of the family life OF the
Eatons. and also to relate any con-
versations which Mrs. Eaton or the
admiral may have had with them.
When asked about the constantly
repeated rumors that insanity pro-
ceedings might be asked for by the
government, Mr.. Barker refused to
discuss that phase of the case. He
said he was willing TO say that the
grand jury would hear some of the
evidence his men have collected. Per-
haps all of 1t and perhaps not the
most important. he said. He also
pointed out that the impression has
gone abroad that Admiral Eaton was
killed by white powdered arsenic ad-
minlstered In absolutely pure form.
This" he declared. lis a mistaken
impression. There may have been
some other substance with IT."
May Have Been Rat Poison.
Continuing he said that n certain
kind of rat poison might have been
with the result that a
report of chemical analysis would
merely give white powdered arsenic
as the cause of death. He said that
the rat poison ne referred to consisted
of from seventy-fve to ninety per
dered charcoal. Given in solution
the charcoal would perhaps disap
pear.
Mrs. Eaton did not attend The Eas-
ter service held in the Plymouth jail.
where she is now confined. She
passed the day reading and writing
and taking exercise. She Is awaiting
the outcome of the grand jury pro-
ceedings without evident alarm. The

Mr.. EAot's unwillingness to take
