London, Sept. 9.-Up to early af-

been thrown on what is probably the
greatest battle of the war, being

Three million men are said to be
engaged. A news dispatch from Paris
indicates the belief that the Germans
offensive against the city has been
definitely checked
1t is indicated that Roumania will
soon throw her 100000 troops into
the conflict.
Adispatch f9rom Berlin says that
the Bucharest correspondent of The

Roumania. Advices from the Hague
are that state of siege has been
proclaimed in great many of the
towns on the coast of Holland.
Russia is reported assuming the Of
fensive in east Prussia.
News from Berlin says tha5 ali
eyes in the Grman capital are turned
eastward, where the Importance of ad-
ministering a check to the invading
Russians appears to be quite as great
as the vigorous French campaign. The
Russians, it is reported, have pushed
their advance sixty miles southwest Of
Koenigsberg.
British officers arriving in Paris
report that the battle east of the city
is still raging furiously this afternoon.

HORRORS OF THE TOWER.

Doing the dungeons at the Tower
Of London promises to become a pop
ular diversion now that some of them
are TO be opened to visitors.
Under the Wakefield tower is an
octagonal dungeon, about s3 feet
wide and 10 feet high, with beau
tiful yaulted roof. Into this pit
were crammed nearly seventy high
landers sfter Culloden, and half of
them died before they could be trans
ported as slaves to the West Indies.
The most exciting dungeon is the
queer .subcrypt underneath the noble
early Norman chapel. The story is
that Guy Fawkes spent his last DAYS
In this black hole after they had tor
tured him elsewhere. 1t opens into
another immense dungeon, where in
King Johns time inconvenient Jews
were imprisoned.

UNFORTUNATE Youh0sTER.

A cansl-faring couple attended the
baptismal service at a Black Country
church near the wharf where their
boat was reloading.
When the curate came to the re-
quest to "Name the child" there was
no response from either parent. They
looked at each other as though seek
ing inspiration, and the clergyman
gathered that they had forgotten to
discuss the point beforehand. Anx-

now, and thissen's a wench."

FOUND IN OLD CHRONICLES
Origin of Famous Name OF "Cueiph"
70 Found IN Two Twe,tth-century
Versions Of History.

1t is said by an old chronicler of
the twelfth century that the word
"Guelph"-German "Welf'-is de-
rived from the ancient "welp." which
corresponds exactly to the English
"whelP, meaning a cub or puppy.
The chronicler says that Isenbrand,
the son of the founder of the dynasty.
married the daughter of a Roman
senator (for it is claimed that the
Guelph family goes back to a. time
which preceded that of Charlie
magne), and had by her son who
was called Catilina. Catilina, how
ever. sounded very similar to Catul-
ius, which meant in Latin a Young
dog. and 80 the name as translated
into German became Welp or Welt.
that is, Guelph.
The chronicler mentions vet An
other version. according to which
lsenbrand was hunting with the en-
peror, when he received the news of
the birth Of a son. When he then
asked permission to return home, the
emperor jestingly observed-Ts it
really on account of a mere welp that
thou wishest to go homer" Isen-
brand was stung by this disrespectful
reference to his heir, and determined
to give the name of Welp to his son.

There is still ON the farm Jack, one

bull had shown form a. lord of the
farm and everybody was watchful OF
him. Horses and mules were kept
out Of the pasture lot, but a farm
band forgot the order and let the
mules in
The fight did not last very long.
The bull opened it, but made a
bnngle. He dashed for Jack and
managed to get in good thrust in
his side, cutting a cash. The mule.
panied and shocked, was prepared
for the next move. AS the JERSEY
rushed with lowered head and deep
below, Jack gave one loud brav of
pleasure, there was fash of steel
shoes IN the air-a dead bull. The
hoofs OF the mule had been planted
with unerring accuracy between the
horns Of the lordly brute.

KEYS AS PHoNY EVIDENCE.

There are many subjects on which
prisoners can give Information TO the
general public, and one of these sub
jects is the value of certain kinds of
evidence in criminal cases. AS eX-
perts on the subject the editors of
the Joliet Prison Post express a wish
to warn future jurors of the unrelia-
bility of all evidence against a man
on trial for burglary or highway rob
berry when that evidence consists in
part of keys belonging 10 the victim
or one of the victims and found in
the pocket OF the accused man. To
an average juror the testimony OF a
upon the accused person. after his
arrest, keys which later were identi-
fed by victim as his properly, would
seem almost conclusive evidence of
guilt II such a juror had had even
a little experience as a burglar or a
highwayman, he would know that
criminals have no use whatever for
old keys. and that they know their
danger as discriminating evidence. Let
man attend criminal trials often
enough. and he will find that the num-
Der of cases in which keys play an i'm
portant role is so large as to cause
wonderment, in view OF the fact that
no burglar or highwayman will touch
them.
n juror knew the ropes he would
look with suspicion upon all evidence
where the finding of keys is a feat
ure. Unfortunately for some men
who are tried and convicted, suries
are nearly always composed of men
who are inexperienced in the methods
of criminals and in criminal proceed /
ings-
