Ktigle Kidnaps n Child.
A bijj eagle which has been seen
several times recently among the rocky
! crags of Broken Back Mountain, about
j twenty miles west o Johnson City
I Tenn., made its appearance in the val
i ley below in a very startling manner.
While some colored women wre wash
ing clothes on the brink of a small
stream, it swooped down upon them,
says them, says the Cincinnati Enquir
er, and seizing a little pickaninny
which was bound fast in a heavy chair,
and all, in its great talons.
They drey was so heavy, however,
that the bird's flight was slow and un
certain. While trving to pick its wav
through the lop of a tree a rung of the
chair caught on a broken limb, thus
breaking the eagle's hold and saving
thj life of the child. The infant was
almost stripped of its clothing, but was
ltft seatet' m a" upright positition, an
adjoining branch preventing the chair
from turning over.
The terrified screams of the women
frightened the bird away and brought
some men to the scene. After some de
lay they succeeded in lowering the
I baby with ropes. It was not seriously
hurt. One claw of the bird left a deep
incision on its shoulder.
About five miles further on a moun
taineer, who was returning from a hunt
; with his gun. fired a heavy charge of
turkey short at what he supposed to be
the same eagle, as it descended into his
barn-yard after some chickens. One
wing was broken by the shot, and the
bird, thus unable to fly, was dispatched
by the hunter with a rail from a fence,
after a hard fight, in which the man
received several very paihfui . wounds
from beak and talons. It measured
eight feet from tip to tip. Richmond

that the measure called cubit was the
distance from a man's elbow to the
end of his middle finger. "And how
much is a fathom?" asked the" little
boy. "Oh, fathom Comes from the
two words, 'fat,' which means, in the
Aryan language, to extend rand 'hon,'
a man, J lathom is the length 01 a

MYSTERY IN MEMPHIS
Caso of Lost Identity That is Puz
zling the Detectives.
KG EVIDENCES OF INSANITY FOUND.
Story Connected and Carries Every Indica
tion of Truth Except. That No One
Can bo Found as Stated Lady
Educated and Refined.
j Mkmpuis, Tenn., August 6. Memphis
has a case of lost identity that surpasses
in interest the now famous Draughan
case in Atlanta some months since. At
; the Shelby county insane asylum is a
woman who is puzzling the authorities
and is a mystery to herself. On March
25th, she was found by the Memphis po
lice wandering the streets with a baby
some three weeks old in her arms. She
said when she was taken in charge that
she was Mrs. Jacob Uosenburg, the wife
( of the manager of the Davis plantation,
near Helena, Ark. It was only on con
dition that her husband be at once no
tified of her plight that she would con
sent to be taken to the asylum, and she
expressed the utmost confidence that
she would be obliged to remain in Du-
j ranee only a day or so. The woman
when found, was well dressed. She
seemed of more than ordinary refine
ment. Since that day she has evinced
not the slightest sign of insanity and
yesterday, if word could have been ob
tained of her family, she would have
been released at once. The only sign
that she is not all that she should be
mentally Is that although she apparent
ly remembers the names of her friends
and family-perfectly, no such persons
exist so far as can be learned. The
ease seems to be one of lost identity.
i che says her fathers name is Moses
I Klein and that he lives in Cincinnati
i where she was born. She relates that
she was educated in the public schools
of Cincinnati and was afterwards grad
uated at the Lebanon, O., normal col
lege, where she was the class poet in
18S3. She also studied in the Boston
school of oratory and afterwards taught
in the Northslde public schools of Chic
ago and boarded while there with Dr.
Arnets on Lincoln Avenue. She short
ly afterward married Jacob Rosenburg,
a jeweler and went to Brooklyn, N. Y.,
and there lived until they moved to
Ilelena. Her story is connected and
straight, giving names and numbers,
but letters, and telegrams are returned
with "No such person known" Inscribed
thereon. -
MISS POLLARD ON THE STAGE.
The Heroine of the Hrecklnrtilge Scandal
to be ajEi Actrefts.
Nfw York, August 6. Miss Madeline
Pollard has recentlj' written to one of
the leading theatrical- managers, ex
plaining that she desires to go on the
stage, and inviting him to call upon her
at an uptown address and discuss pre
liminaries. This gentleman spoke in no
uncertain terms about his correspond
ent yesterday, j
'Ever since the vcuinan became noto
rious." he said. "I have been accused by
one paper after another of trying to
get her to star. It is generally ' well
known that I never handle these hero
ines of the law courts, yet I could not
succeed in making the public believe
that I was not preparing to launch Miss
Pollard upon them. Of course, I shall
have nothing whatever to do with her."
It is considered certain, however, that
Miss Pollard will be among the theatri
cal stars during the coming season.
IN TERROR OF BRIGANDS.
A Town Threatened by Robbers Who
Have Committed Murders. '
San PedrO( Mex., Augusts. There is
much excitement among the people of
the town of Valencia and the surround
ing country west of here over the
threatened attack on the place by Felipe
Kojas, the robber leader, and hi? band
of brigands. The outlaws have their
meeting place in that section, and a few
nights ago they attacked a ranch ad
joining the town and killed the proprie
tor and four servants who attempted to
protect their employer's life. The bri
gands then robbed the house, and
burned it and the other buildings on
the place. The people of Valencia or
ganized a posse and went In pursuit of
the outlaws, but did not come up with
them. Rojas has sent word by letter
that he and his band will sack and burn
the town because an effort was made to
capture them.

HOW KOW SHUNG
WAS. SUNK.
One of the Officers Kescuod From
tb
Fated Hrltan Olven Testimony.
Shanghai, August rt. Colonel Van
Ilenneken, formerly aid-de-camp to the
Viceroy, who was among those rescued
from the British steamer Kow Shung,
has given his testimony before the com
mission appointed to inquire into the
facts relative to the sinking' of the ves
sel. Colonel Van Ilenneken says that
the Naniwa ordered the Kow Shung to
come to anchor, which order was
obeyed. Then the Japanese comman
der ordered the transport to hoist her
alienor, get under way and follow the
Naniwa to Japan. As soon as the sub
stance of this order became known to
the Chinese troops on the Kow Shung,
they insisted that the order be not
obeyed, informing the officers that they
preferred death to being cast into a
Japanese prison. Captain Galsworthy,
the master of the Kow Shung, explained
to the Japanese commander that the
Kow Shung was a British vessel ana
stated that she had left port before hos
tilities bet vveen Japan commenced. He
offered to abandon the voyage and re
turn to China. After a little time, the
Naniwa displayed signals reading:
"Abandon the ship." To thu. Captain
Galsworthy signalled in reply: "Impos
sible; the troops will not permit me to
leave." When this signal was read the
Naniwa withdrew for a little further
distance from the Kow Shung and dt
charged a torpedo at the transport.'
The torpedo struck the hull of the Kow
Shung and exploded, tearing a great
rent in her bottom. As the transport
was sinking the Naniwa fired a broad
side into her. A half hour afterward,
the Naniwa lowered an armed boat,
which cruised about the the place where
the transport had gone down, firing on
the men who were struggling in the
water. .-..
CHOLERA NOT CONTAGIOUS.
Consul Jewctt Says That This Is the Tact,
auil Gives Iteaults of His Observation.
Washington, August C. United
States Consul Jewett at Sivas. Turkey,
who is a physician, sends to the depart
ment of 6tate an interesting account of
the cholera outbreak in that city. He
argues strongly from his personal ob
servation that the disease is not contag
ious, and in proof tells of the children
playing in the gutters running 'with
water polluted with cholera excretions,
which water is also used to wash infec
ted linin and also the household nterrr
sils in which meats are cooked and
served.
Another case in, where the well occu
pied the same bed with the sick, some
times three husband," wife and child
in bed together, one purging and vom
iting. In spite of these practices. 82
per cent, of the population escaped the
disease. The consul gives an account
of the feebleaml impotent attempt of the
authorities, local and national, to stamp
out the disease, telling how the quaran
tine doctors, wlto were paid S7 each for
two months' service, corruptly allowed
people to pass the lines for fees ranging
from 9 cents to 1 eents. "
After May 30th the government re
cognized no cases of cholera, although
they occurred at the-rate of 15 eases
and three deaths per week.

ALABAMA ELECTIONS
Polls Closing on One of the Hot
test Campaigns in Her History.
CHA5CE FOR KOLB IN THE LEGISLATURE
Colonel Oatea Supporters Predict a Hand
ome Majority The Negroes Voting
With the Democrats The
Labor Vote.
Mojttgomeby, August 6. Throughout
Alabama today elections are being held
for Governor and other state officers.
;; Voting so far has been quiet in all the
towns heard from nd a light ballot
thus far polled. Both sides are work
ing diligently and the usual poll manip
ulators are on the scene. It is conceded
that Colonel pates will lead his ticket,
and his friends claim that he will be
elected by a handsome majority. The
friends of Kolb on the other hand are
equally as confident to all appearances.
It is a hard fought battle, and as the
laboring vote will be cast late this af
ternoon; the result can not be accurate
ly forecasted.
There is no question that the comoi
nation headed by Kolb has a . fighting
chance for the control of the legisla
ture, but there are sufficient hold-over
democrats in the senate to insure the
continuance of the party in power in
that body. In the lower house, the
democrats are reasonably sure of get
ting 46 seats. Many of the Birming
ham workingmen are incensed at the
democratic administration for calling
out the troops at the time of the recent
labor troubles. Should Kolb fail of
election and the house is controlled by
his party, he will no doubt be elected as
the house tries all . such eon tests: The
negroes are with the democrats this
time.
ASSAULTED, AND BY WHOM?
Two Men Attacked by a Mob and Roughly
Handled In Indiana.
Brazil, Ind., August 0. David Wil
son and Ilenry Wright, residents of At
tica, were attacked early yesterday
morning by a crowd of men on a Jack
son street crossing of the Chicago and
Illinois railroad and horribly beaten.
Wilson will die and Wright is seriously
injured, being almost covered with
bruises. His jaw-bone is broken and an
ugly cut is inflicted above his left tem
ple. . Wilson's principal wounds are in
ternal. Trainmaster Fowler of the C.
& E. I., said they had came to this city
to work on his road, and this led to the
belief that the men were assaulted by
strikers. The- strikers deny this, and
they say they were assaulted and rob
bed by a crowd of toughs. The theory
is strengthened by the fact that Wright
admits that he was robbed of a consid
able sum of monev.
DR. MILES, OF ALABAMA.

New Orleans, August 6. Dr. A. B.

Louisiana.
Japan Charged With llrutality.
Lomdox, August 6. The Standard
maintains that, despite every excuse de
ducible from later reports, there is
nothing that exonerates Japan from
the charge of brutality and barbarism
towards the Chinese. Not long ago, it
says, an incident like the Kow Shung
affair would have immediately brought
a . British squadron to Tokio The
Standard proposes that Russia and
England jointly demand that both
China and Japan withdraw their forces
from Korea forthwith.

RECORD BREAKING.
The Ilagc tor It la Uratilled at the Coat
of Many Shortened Uvea.
A bicyclist has accomplished the ex
traordinary feat of riding from the
most northern point of Scotland to the
extreme southern point of England iu
eighty -six hours and fifteen minutes.
The most remarkable part of the act is
included in the fact that he per
formed his task without indulging in
one moment of 6leep. lie was three
days, fourteen hours and fifteen min
utes without reclining or resting or
ceasing his active movement of pro
pulsion, except for the very briefest
moments.
The English Lancet points out that
the modern rage for record-breaking ia
gratified at tho cost of many shortened
lives. The healthy heart will beat 100,
000 times in twenty-four hours, accom
plishing work equal to lifting 122 tons
one foot. But it has recently been shown
that cycling tells severely and specially .
upon the circulation, and that the
number of strokes of the heart is
doubled during such active exercise as
that to which the rider subjects him
self. The lowest estimate, therefore,
of the work of the heart of the record
breaker just mentioned would be 212
000 beats, with work done of 224 foot
tops. This, maintained for the specifiied
time, was equal to more than 850 tons
without repose. t
Setting aside the physiological bear
ings of the performance, in suggesting
that there is something in persistent
motion of the blood, sustained by vo
Utkn of a veacftote kind, wbieh pre
vents the nervoTM system from passing
into the passive or negative state to
which the term "61eep" is applied, its
practical lesson bears on the ultimate
influence of extreme exercise on the
bodies of young men who make them
selves the victims of self-inflicted in
Jury. Apparently the athlete Is none
the worse for such a feat as this, but in
reality he will have to pay a severe
penalty for thus outraging nature.
These violent strains bode in" the end
the certainty of premature decreptitude",
Toward the goal of death the best
heart can only perform a certain meas
ure of work, and whether that bo done
by rapid or slow process determines
the length of the days in which it is
done. Theoretically, these young com
petitors, who otherwise might be des
tined for a long arid active existence,
will succumb and break down long
before the sun of their life has
reached its meridian, and the Lancet
states that so far this has practically
been the fate of all those who havo
endeavored, under tho applause of
their unthinking comrades, to do what
nature has not constructed them for
doing without risk.
JUST WHO THE BABY IS.
Pedlfcree of the Infant Frlnoe Born to the
Dake and Duchess of York.
The infant prince who has just been
born into the line of succession to the
throne has of course all the ancestry
of his illustrious father, and Is on his
mother's side, through the duke of
Teck, sprung from the reigning house
of Wurtembcrg and from the' early
kings of Prussia. Though not de
scended from the elder branch of Stu
art, he is a distant cousin of the prin
cess of Bavaria, who is now the head of
that lino, and he is also distantly re
lated to the czar of Russia,
lie inherits no title, her majesty hav
ing some years ago decreed that the
stylo of royal highness should belong
only to her own children and - the chil
dren of her sons. No English sov
ereign before Queen Victoria ever lived
to see a great-grandchild. Indeed,
none between Edward III. and George
I. evon saw a grandchild, with the ex
ception of James II., who survived the
infants of his daughter Anne.
Concerning the new prince' the Leeds
Mercury also notes that he is at the'
same time third cousin to his, father
and second cousin, twice removed, to
his mother. The duke of Kent and the
duke of Cambridge, sons of George III.,
were brothers. Their respective chil
dren, Queen Victoria and the duchess
of Teck, are first cousins. In turn the
?rinee of Wales and the duchess of
'ork are second cousins so that the duke
of York and the new prince are, as has
.been stated, third cousins to each other.
On the other hand, the duchess of York
is second cousin, onoe removed, to tho
duke of York, and therefore second
cousin, twice removed, to his son, the
new-born prince. '

In the eourso of a trial in France last
year a tter was read from a man
named Tarpki, a chemist, under sen
tence of five years' imprisonment as a
spy, giving directions to a friend with
a view to establishing a secret corre
spondence with him while m prison.
This led to an offioial inquiry on the
subject by the French authorities, and
:Kome strange revelations were obtained
from. some of the convicts.
It appears, says Chambers' Journal,
that when information hasHo be con
veyed to a prisoner, a formal letter,
containing apparently nothing but a
few trivial facts of a personal nature,
is forwarded to the prison. This is read
by the governor, who stamps it, and
allows it to be handed on to the man
to whom it is addressed. The latter,
however, is aware that there is another
letter to be read within tho lines, this
being written in milk, and being easily
decipherable on being rubbed over
with a dirty finger.

THE WRONG BRANB.
Weather That Made the Old Man Call
the Weather Dispenser. .
"While the rain was doing its level
best the other afternoon a moist litjtle
old man with two umbrellas and a
''gum" coat dashed into the Mills build
ing. Water dripped from the elevator
all the way up to the tenth floor, and
when the little man splashed into the
weather-works at the end of the hall
the curl came out of 15. S. Pague's mus
tache. "Where's the fellow that did this?"1
demanded the little man, glaring sav
agely around the room.
"Did what?" inquired Mr. Pague, in
his best meteorological tone of voice.
"Pulled the plug out of the sky."
"You mean the shuwcr. Oh. that's a
little dash of precipitation we throw in
once in awhile to equalize the climate.
It makes the fanners jubilant, 3'ou
know"
"Oh, does it?" said the little man,
smiling sarcastically. "Perhaps you
don't stand in with tho.se pt-ople who
sell fifty-cent umbrellas in th'e hall
ways." "Sir! How dare you!" j .
"Keep your hair on, professor," broke
in the visitor, as he stepped out of the
puddle that 'dribbled from the tail of
his "gum" cKit.
"You're running this job, are you
not?" -
"Well, yes," Mr. Pngue confessed
with leeoming modesty. "I'm at the
head of the biirv;T.ti. Would you like
to look at some of -our weather samples
for the fall and "
"Yon predicted fair weather for to
day, didn't 3011?" persisted the little
man, who was lx-ginning to lnvathe
hard.
: The head of the bureau looked out at
the unbroken streaks of wet driving
obliquely across the- window anil
glanced musingly at a large tissue
paper chart with red spots on it. Then
he made some figures 011 the margin
with a blue pencil and"startel in to ex
plain: "Of course the low pressure in the
northwest, combined with a . rising
barometer, naturally has a tendency to
"Hahr the
northwest!" howled the
little man.
'Is this San J'Vaneisco or
Siberia?"
' The head of the bureau roluetnntly
admitted that to the Wst of his knowl
edge and lielief , this was !Sau Fran
cisco. ,
"And are you our ivgular licensed
predicter?"
"I am."
"Well, don't you know that we have
a ball game -here every Sunday ami
that a storm like this is in direct oppo
sition to the wishes of thejeople'."'
"Storm? Why, up in Oregon, where
I came from, they "
- "Oregon le blowed!.. This is San
Francisco, where we know what weath
er is. Ii yon mean to say thatyoii eame
here from Oregon and went to monkey
ing with the valves without asking us
what we wanted?".
"It looks that way," replied Mr.
Pague, begiuning to feel uneasy."
''How long have you ln-eu here?"
'"About two -weeks." -
"Are you the one who uncorked the
cyclone that blew "the shingles olF the
ships and things last week?"' demanded
the little inian, grasping his umbrella
firmly by. the handle.
Pague glanced around for the police
call, but it was in the other room.
"Who are you?" he asked, in order tJ
gain time.
"I'm a tax-payer in the city and
county of San Francisco that's what I
am," the little man yelled, as he slap
ped himself on the chest, "and I'll write
a piece to the papers alut the ineoru-.
petency in the weather department.
Great Scott! Who ever saw the like?
its an outrage, sir, I'll rejiort you to
the the-er I'll report 3011 anyhow.
What condition do you expect the
ground to be in for the foot-ball watch
next Thursday, if you keep on with
your infernal deluge! Fair wenther,
indeed, and i: inches of mud and watt f
everj'where. I'll be tee tolly dad hinged
if I don't- "
"It is a very difficult matter, I find,"
said Mr. Pague, "to satisfy evorj'liody
in this" business. Some want drought
and some want rain, while othersngaiu
send in orders for wind. There was
nothing in this little shower to excite
anyone, but perhaps I am too .well ac
customed to moisture after living so
long in a country where 1 he d.iiftks r..-,t '
on the trees nine months injlic- year.
"Hovrvr, I have ordered out a line ,
of nice, fair weather, with diamond
clouds and a thread of sunshine in it,
for to-morrow. After arranging clear
weather for to-day," 1 changed my mind,
last night and decided to wring 'out a
couple of damp clouds. The storm was
originally moving eastward, and had it
continued that course t-day would
have been clear. Hut it fell in with a
cold wave coining, this way and ve
couldn't separate them. From Wednes
day night until two o clock this after
noon the rainfall has amounted to three
and four hundredths inches, but is 'all
over now." San Francisco Chronic!.
