REPUBLIC OF SPAIN.

The first steps toward the estab- lishment of the short-lived republic of Spain, were taken forty-three years ago today, Feb. II, 1873, when King Amadeus, the Italian Abruzzi, now commander of the Italian navy, was called to the Spanish throne in 1870, after Isabella II. had abdicated in fla vor of Alfonso XII. and Gen. Els paBtero had declined the offer of the crown. The Cortes then held an election to decide upon ruler, Anna deus receiving 191 votes, to 27 for thF Due de Monpentier, and 63 for republic. When the Italian prince gave up the royal dignity, the Cortes held another election, and 136 voted for a republic and only 32 for a mon archy. A new election of members of parliament resulted in an even more overwh elming triumph of republican principles. 21O members voting for a. republic and only for the monarchy. Emilio Castelar, was accordingly elect ed president of the Spanish republic, in September, 1873, but he resigned the office in January of the following year. Marshal Serrano was then president until toward the close of 1S74( when Alfonso XII was restor- ed.

HUNDRED DINERS ILL AT BANQUET
 ID ARCHBISHOP

Chicago, Feb. 11.-More than 100 per sons who suffered ptomaine poisoning from eating soup at a banquet given last night at the University club in honor of Archbishop George W. Nun delein, of the Roman Catholic arch diocese of Chicago, had fully recov- cred today.
 Nearly 300 guests were present, in cluding many prelates from various parts of the country. When the first of the guests to be stricken fell or rushed from the room, there was gen eral eommotion.
 Prompt first aid measures were ad- ministered by physicians present and most of those affected soon returned to the banquet room.
 Explaining the incident, Dr. J. B. Murphy said:
 An investigation disclosed the pto- maine poisoning developed in the soup served at the banquet. It was a bouil- lon made from fresh chickens. The bouillon was then permitted to cool and was boiled again just before being served.
 'fBouillon is the greatest medium in which the germs grow. The germs developed while the soup was cooling and, after it cooled. When it was re- boiled the germs were killed but the poison thrown out by the germs was left That is ptonaine poisoning"

.LEGAL RESIDENCE'' DEFINED.
Attorney-GeneraI Settles Question as
 to Status of Insane Paupers.

In response to a question from Dr. c. F. Haviland, superintendent of the Connecticut Hospital for the Insane at Middletown, requesting him to de- fine the difference between a, legal res idence and a legal settlement, Attor- ney- General Hinman holds that a per son has a legal residence in the town in which he has his home or place of dwelling, while a legal settlement inn plies four years continuous residence in a town. The question is of interest in deciding as to the liability of a town for the maintenance of an insane patient. The opinion, in part, fol- lows:
 "A person is resident of. and therefore has legal residence in, the town in which he has his home md place of dwelling. The test of residence is the mere fact of presence in a town as the fixed and permanent

 LIFE OF JAPANESE

Rokoscaburo Kumata, head of the Wwantung branch of the famous Mitsui Company, went with a mer- chant named Mori to a remote place in the interior of China where they were to investigate a mine. On their way they met some Chinese carrying precious stones and these were bought by the Japanese for about $3O,00O.
 This set the rumor around that the Japanese were carrying a large sum of money. Bandits tracked them down, but when they were taken to the robbers den and searched their pockets only yielded 100 taels (60). The brigands at first proposed to slit the throat of their victims but on hearing that Kumata was the repre- sentative of the wealthy Mitsui Com pany they liberated his companions with the message that Kumata would be held until 10000 taels s6,000) were forthcoming.
 A party of Japanese and Chinese officers were sent out in search of the missing man, and thanks to the fact that they took the cash with them, they found him. But Rokoscaburo cost the full amount.

Thief Pushes Mrs. Charles E. Finlay From Room
 And Escapes

Great Neck. L.. l., Nov. 7.-Another bold jewelry robbery has been added to the long list of these in the homes of Well-to-do residents of Long Is- and communities of late.

Other jewels were in the room within easy access.
 Mrs. ~Finlay, just as she was sitting down to the dinner table, remembered that she had forgotten to turn off the electric lights in her dressing room. She went up stairs, and, although she had been gone but five minutes, found the burglar in the room ransacking probable hiding places for jewelry. He already had collected number of pieces.
 As Mrs. Finlay entered the room and saw the burglar she cried out The man coolly pushed her through the doorway and locked the door. Then he continued his search for jewelry. It is believed that he had been watch ing through the window and entered as soon as Mrs. Finlay left the room.
 Mrs. Finlay returned to the dining room and notified the family. Hiler King, her son-in-law, ran upstairs and broke down the locked door. As he entered he saw the burglar make his escape through the window. He climbed down the trellis work on the wall and was quickly lost in the dark ness. MT.
