THE YOUNGSTOWN NEWS VOL. XXII. YOUNGSTOWN, N. Y., ERIDAY. NOVEMBER 21, 1902. NO. 42, BELGIAN KING ATTACKED Anarchist Fired Three Shots as the Monarch Was Going ta Church. POOR AIM SAVED RULER'S LIFE Italian Bookkeeper, Out of Work, the "vVoulii-Be Assassin—The Police Rescned Him From an Infuriated Mob— Ho Admits Hie Belief in Anarchism and Confesses the Attempt to Kill. Brussels, Belgium—Rubino, the Italian, who fired three shots at King Leopold as His Majesty was proceeding to the cathedral to attend a Te Deum in memory of Queen Marie Henriette, confessed that he is an anarchist. He admitted that he intended to shoot the monarch. His aim was poor and the King escaped without a scratch. The ■window of the carriage occupied by the Cointe d'Oultremont, the King's grand marshal, was smashed by a bullet fired by the would-be assassin. The bullet grazed the grand marshal's face. Rubino is a bookkeeper. He was born in Binardo, near Naples, in 1859 and has lately lived in Brussels. The police had difficulty in rescuing him from the hands of a mob, and when he reached the police station he showed ample signs of the rough handling which he received. The news of the outrage spread rapidly throughout the city and the greatest excitement prevailed. The people thronged the streets, eagerly discussing the attempt on the life of the King and large crowds gathered in front of the various bulletin boards. The newspapers issued frequent editions and these were eagerly bought. General abhorrence was expressed by the people at the apparently deliberate attempt to assassinate the sovereign. King Leopold appeared to be quite unmoved by the attempt of Rubino to kill him. After luncheon at the palace the King entered a motor car and proceeded to the railroad station, wrhere he boarded a train bound for Groenendael.The prisoner, who appeared to be weak minded, said at first that his only reason for shooting was exasperation at seeing "so many tired-looking personages occupying such grand coaches." A search of the prisoner revealed a package of ball cartridges. Rubino is a small, bald-headed man with a heavy black mustache. He maintained perfect calm during hia Interrogation by the police. He informed the police that he came from London, where he went on a futile search for work.' There Rubino obtained assistance from the Italian embassy and was temporarily engaged to watch anarchists. He was dismissed, however, as the embassy officials discovered that he sympathized with the anarchists. It was then that he bought a revolver and fifty cartridges and came to Brussels. Failing to find work. Rubino said he "determined to act" and went to the cathedral with the intention of shooting the King. He did not fire at his intended victim for fear of hitting intervening soldiers. Then Rubino proceeded to the Rue Royaie, where he awaited the cortege. The royal carriage containing the King passed before Rubino was able to draw his revolver, hence the shots only hit the carriage following. In Rubino's pockets were found picture post cards bearing portraits of King Leopold, Prince Albert and the Princess Elizabeth. The prisoner said he procured the card so as to be able to recognize the members of the royal family and expressed the hope that others would be more successful than himselg. He also said he did not regret his act and would have fired at any monarch—"at the King of Italy as readily as at the King of the Belgians, because monarchs are tyrants who cause the misery of their peoples." Washington, D. C—Secretary Hay Called at the Belgian Legation to express to the officials there regret at the attempt on the life of the King of Belgium, and to extend the congratulations of the people of this country on the King's escape. BURNED HIS WHOLE FAMILY. Hungarian Killed Five Because They Rβfuaed to GiTo Him Bloney. Vienna.—Michael Malarczek, a butcher, of Satoralja, Ujhely, Hungary, has murdered his father, mother and three other members of his family by setting fire to the house in which they dwelt and thus burning them to death. The murderer committed the crime out of revenge for a refusal on their part to give him a sum of m6ney he demanded. Malarczek first intended to die with them, but changed his mind and jumped from an upper story of the house into the street. He was immediately arrested and the police had considerable difficulty to keep the crowd from lynching him. GUIDE KILLED BY A HUNTER. Mistook the Man For a Deer and Shot Him in the Neck. Guilford, Me.—Tohn Hagan, a guide, was mistaken for a deer while hunting in the woods on u\e Penob.scot River, «ight miles above the head of Chesuncook Lake, and shot through the neck. Hagan and a brother were guiding two brothers named Wheeler, from Providence, R. 1., on the west branch near what is known us The Moosehorn. While traveling through the woods in two parties one of the Wheeler brothers saw an object in the bushes a short distance ahead and jumping on a lod shot Hagan. Death followed instantly] IN A CANNON BALL OF 1812 Relic Contained Warning- of an Intended At ack on Washington. It Was Our Up Near Bladensburg, and In It Wai a Parchment Addressed to the Patriot Army. Washington, D. C—An old rusty cannon ball, tired from a-British field piece at the attack on Bladensburg by the English force under General Ross and Lieutenant Wainwright during the War of ISI2, hit a laborer working a short distance outside of that town and broke his leg. The ball, when examined, was found to inclose a roll of parchment addressed to "the commanding officer of the American forces defending Washington," and containing a detailed account of the plans of Admiral Cockburn the Commander-in- Chief of the British naval force then in the Potomac and of which the land expedition was a part, for his march on Washington and the destruction of the national capital. The communication was signed "Timson Howard, mate of the American merchantman, General Stone, and victim of the British press gang." A road is being cut through near Bladensburg. The pick of a laborer dislodged the rusty relic from the earth where it had lain for nearly a century. It rolled down a steep hill and struck John Key, one of the laborers, with considerable force, breaking his leg near the ankle. The foreman of the gang investigated the relic, and with a knife cut away the dirt from a two-inch hole in the j ball. He then brought out a roll of parchment, yellow and discolored with age, but which when unfolded proved to be the communication referred to. A considerable portion of the writing was illegible, but enough could be read i to make a fairly connected whole. The communication signed by Howard, who, from the character and phraseology of the document was a man of some education, explains that he had been impressed into the British service . shortly before the beginning of the war. and had since been compelled to serve against his country. While acting as orderly to Admiral Cockburn he had learned that the British Commander-in-Chief intended to sack and burn Washington and lay waste the surrounding country. A portion of the writing says: * "Wth the aid of God Almighty let all t> * *■ patriot rally to * * * Washington and * * * Marauders who are coming * * * rapine and murder * * * defeated in former years * * * regain * * * through naval supremacy * * * press gang outrages * * * lost before." A postscript to the note explains that Howard wrote nearly 100 of the warnings, and knowing that the Americans made a practice of using over again , the cannon balls fired at them by the British, had slipped the papers into shells taken by the land force which marched on Bladensburg in the forlorn hope that at least one of the notes might be discovered. The cannon ball and the roll of parchment containing the record of the patriot's futile endeavor to aid the country against which he was compelled to serve, were brought to Washington by Thomas A. Byrne, of Bladensburg, and will be presented to the National Museum as an addition to the already large collection of relics of the War of LSI 2. NEW ELIXIR OF LIFE FOUND. Dr. fcoeb Reetores T>yhig Animals Witl Injection* of Sodium and Calcium. Chicago, 111.—Professor Jacques Loeb and his assistants in the Chicago Uni- Blty have shed new light on the old problem of life and death. Salt and water, the "elixir of life" discovered by Dr. Loeb two years ago to be efficient in making turtles' hearts beat again, has been found to be a powerful restorative for dying animals, and the scientist is a step nearer the goal of prolonging human life indefinitely. Assistant Professor Edward P. Lyons began his experiments with the lowest forms of mammal life — mice — then dogs and cats. He gave the animals such treatment as would bring them to a condition where life was practically extinct. Then by injections of sodium and calcium solutions into the veins of the failing mammals he was able to restore for varying periods of time the heart-beat to its normal rhythm and strength. LOUBET MAY VISIT US. flan to Hare the French President Attend the St. Louie Exposition. Paris—The Temps says that a scheme is afoot to have President Loubet visit the St. Louis Exposition. The paper says that he would travel on a French warship to New Orleans and up the Mississippi River to St. Louis, where he would meet President Roosevelt. Upon the conclusion of his visit he would proceed to New York City by rail, Avhence he would pail to France on an American warship. M. Francois Deloncle, in conversing with the members of the St. Louis Exposition Committee in 1900, suggested that M. Loubet be invited to attend. He has lately received confirmation from St. Louis that the idea is favored by the committee, which is considering submitting to M. Loubet a plan of svhich the foregoing is an outline. Coman Concedes Cunneen'e Election. Deputy Attorney-General Henry B. Coman, who was the Republican candidate for Attorney-General of New fork at the recent election, has conceded the election of John Cunneen, of i Buffalo, his opponent for the office on I the Democratic and Prohibition tickets. He says he will not contest the result DECISIONIN THE SAMOACASE # King Oscar Rules Adversely to England and the United States. TRIPARTITE AGREEMENT BROKEN The Arbitrator Finds That Action toy British and American Forces in Firing: Across Apia Was Unwarranted—The Two GoTernments Responsible For Losses—Germany's Victory Complete. Washington. D. C—By previous arrangement between the principals, there was published simultaneously in Washington, London and Eerlin the Cull text of the decision given by His Majesty King Oscar 11, of Sweden, as arbitrator between the three countAs aamed of certain claims on account of military operations in Samoa in the pear 1899. The substance of the decision has been announced heretofore in the cable dispatches from Stockholm, but they did not convey to the officials here a full realization of the complete victory won by Germany, for it appears that on every single point the arbitrator adopted the most extreme German view in opposition to the United States and Great Britain. The arbitration grew out of claims by German or British subjects or American citizens for compensation on account of losses they alleged they bad suffered in consequence of unwarranted military action on the part of German, British or American officers in Samoa between the Ist of January, 1899, and the 13th of May followifflj The question really at issue was whether or not the British and UniWa. States Governments should be considered responsible for the losses. The arbitrator recites that the United States steamship Philadelphia and the British ships Porpoise and Royalist on March 15, 1899, opened tire across the town of Apia. Samoa, directing tl*e same against the forces of High' Chief Mataafa; that the same vessels brought the newly appointed King of Samoa, Malietoa, and his forces to Mulinuu Point and gave them arms and ammunition for the ensuing struggle against Mataafa. In answer to the British and American claims that under the treaty of Berlin any one of the signatory Powers was fully authorized tft* enforce the decision of the Chief Justice of Samoa, declaring Malietoa King the arbitrator says: "We have found nothing in the said general act or any subsequent agreement which authorizes one of the signatory Powers, or a majority of them, to take action to enforce the conditions of the act or to make the decisions of the Chief Justice binding on the Powers."The arbitrator insists that the Berlin Conference aimed to establish a principle that in their dealings with Samoa the Powers could proceed only by common accord, and that as the con-. sular representatives of the three Powers by proclamation had recognized the provisional government of Mataafa the Powers themselves were bound on principles of international good faith to maintain the situation until by common accord they decided to change it. Touching the British-American com| plaint against the German Consul for his refusal to sustain the decision of the Chief Justice, the arbitrator hold? that "it cannot be considered to have been the duty of the German Consul to take part in the issuance of said proclamation, and it has not been proved that with regard to said decii sion any steps were taken by him conj trary to the general act, and, therej fore, no responsibility attaches for the i attitude taken by him in this respect." Continuing, the decision recites that Malietoa had been completely defeated I before the arrival of the Philadelphia, I but that the United States Admiral and the British authorities brought back his warriors and armed and provisioned them, giving them ammunition, which, under the treaty there should have been issued only at the unanimous request of the three Cousuls. The decision closes as follows: "That the military action in question, viz., the bringing back of the Malietoans and the distribution to them of arms and ammunition, the the military operations on shore and the stoppage of the street traffic cannot be considered as having been warranted."And that, therefore, His Britannic Majesty's Government and the United States Government are responsible under the convention of the Tth of November, 1899, for losses caused by said military action; reserving for a future decision the question as to the extent to which the two Governments, or each of them, may be considered responsible for such losses." Report on Guam's Earthquake. Commander Seaton Schroeder, naval governor of Guam, has sent to the Navy Department a detailed report of the damage caused in that island I by the earthquake of September 22. One child was killed and a few of the residents of Agana hurt. There was considerable loss of property, however, and funds are asked for to make the necessary immediate repairs. The damage to buildings under the I control of the bureau of yards and docks will reach $8700. The public buildings of the islands suffered severely, and Commander Schroeder. thinks the total cost of repairs on them will be $22,100 gold. The private loss in the town of Agana alone is esti-' mated at $100,000 gold. Marriage a Failure in Topeka. Court records show that one-thircV of the marriages in Topeka, Kan., ara failures. STATE PAYS FOR A DEATH Mrs. Bowen First Benefie:ary Under Maryland's Odd Insurance Law. Her Husband Accidentally Killed—Employers Make Quarterly Payments and Are .Relieved From Damage Suits. Baltimore, Md.—Maryland's novel State insurance fund has paid its first death benefit to Mrs. Josephine Bowen. Under the Employers' and Employes' Liability Co-operative act, passed by the Legislature, she has received $1000 in full settlement of her claim for the accidental death of her husband. The insurance act was presented to the General Assembly by Senator Lewis, of Allegheny, who started in life as a miner, studied law under conditions which required much selfsacrifice, was admitted to the bar, and was elected to the last Legislature mainly through the influence of the labor vote. The bill as introduced provided that all corporations and individuals employing men in Maryland should be compelled to pay into the hands of the State Insurance Commissioner about sixty cents quarterly for each employe. In the event of an employe's death by. accident his family or heirs should receive $1000, the payment of this sum absolving his employers from any further claims for damages. The measure met with considerable opposition, and it was finally passed in an amended form, which allowed employers to act voluntarily in the matter of subscribing to the fund, and also provided that employes should pay one-half the amount of the annual assessment. Enough employers subscribed to the fund to place it on a working basis. Robert Bowen, the husband of the beneficiary to whom the first payment under the new law has been made, was employed as a motorman by the United Railways Company of Baltimore, one of the big corporations which has taken advantage of the law. The company pays sixty cents per quarter on each of its 3000 employes and does not deduct a cent from their salaries. Bowen was killed by being struck on the head by a trolley pole while in charge of his car. Mrs. Bowen applied to the State Insurance Commissioner and her claim was immediately paid. There are now several thousand dollars in the fund. None of the big mining companies of Maryland, for the benefit of whose employes the act was intended, has subscribed to the fund. A compulsory law is favored to compel them to indorse the act. CONVICTED OF BOYS' MURDER. Paul Woodward Found Guilty by Jury After Fifteen Minutes of Deliberation. Camden, N. J.—Paul Woodward was convicted of the murders of the boys, John Coffin and Price Jennings, by luring them to the woods where their bodies were found, and there poisoning them and then robbing their bodies. He was remanded for sentence. The jury went out at 4 o'clock and sent word within fifteen minutes that they had found a verdict. Their finding was not announced until nearly two hours later, however, as Judge Garrison left the courtroom when they did. and it was not known where he had gone. Woodward maintained the same attitude of amused indifference that has marked his bearing ever since his arraignment. He admitted that he had bought considerable quantities of strychnine and also accompanying the boys part of the way to the forest where their bodies were found. He admitted that he had confessed the murder to Prosecutor Scovil and fellow-prisoners in the Jail. He said these confessions were lies. His mother, who had denied that she had ever been convicted of crime, admitted when confronted with the records, that she had been convicted of obtaining money under false pretenses in Philadelphia. WOMEN POP THE QUESTION. Tlie Gorernor-Elect of Kansas Deluged "With Offers of Marriage. Topeka, Kan.—Within the last few days a great many letters have come to the Topeka postofflce addressed in a feminine hand to W. J. Bailey, Governor-elect of Kansas. Many of them are incased in dainty envelopes, from which a faint odor of perfume escapes. The letters are from marriageable women over the country who hope to become the wife of the next Governor of the State. Mr. Bailey has received many proposals of marriage by mail. A number of the applicants sent their photographs. Mr. Bailey is a bachelor, and recently announced that he could not find a wife in Kansas. Chicago School Strikes Over. The "strike" among the pupils of the Andrew Jackson School at Chicago is apparently over. Pupils held indignation meetings and denounced the suspension of Miss McKeon. No action was taken, however, and it was finally agreed to return to school and await results. The "strike" at the Washburne, Tilden, John M. Smythe and Garfleld schools was also ended, and all of the pupils returned to their studies.Gives &6,000,000 - Employes. By the ten per cent, advance in pay given to all those regularly in its service now receiving less than $200 a month the Pennsylvania Railroad will distribute among nearly 100,000 employes about $0,000,000 more per annum in wages. On the basis of the new scale and with the present pay roll it is estimated that the total wages paid by the company for the ensuing year will reach $70,000,000. CHICAGO PUPILS STRIKE Many Children in Several Seho:ls» Refuse to Attend Their Classes. Quite a Feel ins ef Dissatisfaction Prevail* Among tbe Rising Generation —Various Reasons Assigned. Chicago. — Schoolchildren, parents, teachers and Board of Education members are now at outs in earnest over the school "strike." Conditions have reached a crisis as a result of the action of the Board of Education in confirming the suspension of Miss Jane McKeon, of the Andrew Jackson School. A revival of the trouble at that institution took place the following morning, and simultaneous with it came a "strike" at four other schools. Parents living in the neighborhood of the Andrew Jackson School are in sympathy with the children and uphold their demands. Alderman John Powers and other persons said to be in command of "influence" will be again appealed to to make an attempt to right the wrong, that, it is asserted, has been done. The trouble at the Andrew Jackson School has brought about an epidemic of so-called strikes among schoolchildren. In the morning some pupils of the WTashburne School refused to go to their classes. One reason assigned by the pupils is that their teacher. Mrs. Ruth Parsons, occasionally comes to school late. In the Tilden and Garfield schools the youngsters declare that they have been deprived of their "inalienable rights" to have recesses at stated hours and for a stated duration. Sedition has spread to the School. "Strikers" there hardly more than high enough to look over the teacher's table followed the lead of other schools. "Our teacher—his legs are too long; that's why we struck," they say. Bloomingtufl, 111.—There mlz -c °~~'- ous turn to the high school troubles when, out of sympathy for the twelve students expelled for the color rush, the remaining students left their schoolroom. Some did not appear at the institution in the morning, while most of those assembled walked out in a body at noon before adjournment. DEERSLAYER AGED TEN. Dβ Broke tbo Animal's Lesr Witli a Stone and Then Clubbed Tt. Port Jervis, N. Y.—Eddie Wilbort, ten, the son of E. A. Wilbert, of Atoo, Wayne County, Pennsylvania, has killed a deer. The deer was crossing his father's field and the boy threw a stone, breaking one of the animal's legs. The boy then attacked the deer with a club. "I was bound that it shouldn't get away," said the boy. '"I was knocked down twice before I hit him right." He then secured a table carving knife from the house and cut the deer's throat. The deer was a doe and weighed 130 pounds. THREE YEARS FOR BUTLER. The St. Louie Politician and Millionaire Convicted of Bribery. St. Louis, Mo.—The jury in the case of Edward Butler, a millionaire, that has been on trial at Columbia, Mo., where it had been taken on a change of venue, returned a verdict of guilty. He was sentenced to three years in the penitentiary. Butler, who is the Democratic leader of St. Louis, was charged with attempting to bribe two members of the Board of Health, offering them $2500 each for their vote on a garbage contract which he wanted.

Washington, D. C—W. Godfrey- Hunter has tendered his resignation as United States Minister to Guatemala. The President has accepted the •esignation and selected Leslie Combes, it present United States Pension Agent at Louisville, to succeed Dr. Hunter, who is also Minister to Honduras. Mr. Combes will likewise assume that post. Dr. Hunter has had a stormy career in Central America ever since he went there in 1897, and the place pays §10.- 000 a year. ROBBERS FUSLLADE A TRAIN. Engineer Puts on Full Steam and Saves the Passengers, Frankford, Ind.—Four men attempted to hold up the south-bound Monon express at Cyclone. The train slackened speed on striking torpedoes on the rails, but when the engineer faced four revolvers he threw open the throttle. The four men fired rapidly and often, but all trainmen and- passengers escaped. Sheriff Corns and deputies afterward caught the men, who gave the names of Charles Johnson" James Mock, Frank Smith and Harry Gray, all claiming to live in Cincinnati. DEATH FOR ALL LADRONES. Philippine Commission Creates a Stern Law to Stop Highway Robberies. Manila.—Stern measures have been resorted to by the Philippine Commission to assist in the suppression of ladroneism. It has passed an act making highway robbery committed by three or more persons a capital offense. A conviction does not require proof of the actual commission of the crime, the existence of a band of brigands under arms being sufficient. Severe penalties are prescribed for those assisting ladrones in the commission of crimes. STATE NEWS. Thanksgiving Proclamation Issued. Governor Odell has issued the following Thanksgiving proclamation: "Our country has been blessed with peace, prosperity and happiness, and our people are respected for their conservatism, for their enlightenment and their progress. The beneficent influences of our institutions have been exerted for the advancement of civilization, and to us h.ive come problems which required not only patriotism in their solution, but faith in God, who has placed upon us the responsibility for this advancement of His work. For all these blessings we should render homage to Him. I therefore designate Thursday, November 27, 1902, as a day of Thanksgiving and praise. Let us on that day put aside the cares of life, and in our homes and in our respective places of worship, with hearts full of thanksgiving and with a faith in our future which can only come through a firm reliance upon Almighty God, offer up prayers of thankfulness and supplications for a continuance of divine favor. * Couple Abandon a Child. The other day a man and woman engaged board at the home of Mrs. Hubbell, in Hancock. They had with them a little girl, a bright, goldenhaired child, unusually lovable and pretty. The man and tvornan stayed for a few days and then departed, promising to return. They left the child behind. After "waiting several days Mrs. Hubbell notified the authorities. The police believe that the abandoned child was kidnaped from wealthy parents, possibly for money, but more likely for revenge. It is believed that the man and woman have fled to Pennsylvania. The neighborhood is very much excited over the affair and a number of very estimable families desire to adopt the little one. She is about two years of age and is not able to give the police a clue that will aid in establishing her identity. Skunks Infest a City. Geneva is suffering from a plague of skunks. The animals invaded the city about the middle of October and have been moving toward the business centre ever since. The animals entered the boiler room of the Geneva Manufacturing Company one night. The watchman's dog attacked them and the factory was in consequence closed for three days. A New York Central locomotive cut one of the animals in two in the Fifth Ward. The locomotive on the Black Diamond Express on the Lehigh Valley Railroad ran over another in the Sixth Ward. The result is that a considerable portion of the northern and eastern sections of the city were- not attractive. John street was deserted after a skunk was killed there a few days ago,. No Trace of Missing Couple. Chief of Police McCabe has searched the effects of Miss Kittie McLaughlin at her boarding place in Poughkeepsie, and found $320 in twenty-dollar bills of the Catskill National Bank and her poeketbook containing over $6. Nothing has been heard from Miss Mc- Laughlin or James Waters since they drove away over two weeks ago in Dr. Stanbrough's rig. No trace has been obtained of the horse and wagon, which was valued at $400. A blanket was found in the Hudson River near Hyde Park that answered the description of the one that was in the wagon. Miss McLaughlin had intended to go to relatives in Chicago the day after she "went out driving with her sweetheart, and her relatives there think that she has met with foul play. To Make High Schools Free to All. There were reports in Albany that Governor Odell, in his coming message to the Legislature, will recommend the passage of a law which will permit children to get an education in any high school of the State. At present the parents of pupils not living in a high school district are compelled to pay a tuition fee of about $30 a year. The parents of pupils who pay this sum are chiefly farmers. Want the Slate to Pay.

| Transcript | THE YOUNGSTOWN NEWS VOL. XXII. YOUNGSTOWN, N. Y., ERIDAY. NOVEMBER 21, 1902. NO. 42, BELGIAN KING ATTACKED Anarchist Fired Three Shots as the Monarch Was Going ta Church. POOR AIM SAVED RULER'S LIFE Italian Bookkeeper, Out of Work, the "vVoulii-Be Assassin—The Police Rescned Him From an Infuriated Mob— Ho Admits Hie Belief in Anarchism and Confesses the Attempt to Kill. Brussels, Belgium—Rubino, the Italian, who fired three shots at King Leopold as His Majesty was proceeding to the cathedral to attend a Te Deum in memory of Queen Marie Henriette, confessed that he is an anarchist. He admitted that he intended to shoot the monarch. His aim was poor and the King escaped without a scratch. The ■window of the carriage occupied by the Cointe d'Oultremont, the King's grand marshal, was smashed by a bullet fired by the would-be assassin. The bullet grazed the grand marshal's face. Rubino is a bookkeeper. He was born in Binardo, near Naples, in 1859 and has lately lived in Brussels. The police had difficulty in rescuing him from the hands of a mob, and when he reached the police station he showed ample signs of the rough handling which he received. The news of the outrage spread rapidly throughout the city and the greatest excitement prevailed. The people thronged the streets, eagerly discussing the attempt on the life of the King and large crowds gathered in front of the various bulletin boards. The newspapers issued frequent editions and these were eagerly bought. General abhorrence was expressed by the people at the apparently deliberate attempt to assassinate the sovereign. King Leopold appeared to be quite unmoved by the attempt of Rubino to kill him. After luncheon at the palace the King entered a motor car and proceeded to the railroad station, wrhere he boarded a train bound for Groenendael.The prisoner, who appeared to be weak minded, said at first that his only reason for shooting was exasperation at seeing "so many tired-looking personages occupying such grand coaches." A search of the prisoner revealed a package of ball cartridges. Rubino is a small, bald-headed man with a heavy black mustache. He maintained perfect calm during hia Interrogation by the police. He informed the police that he came from London, where he went on a futile search for work.' There Rubino obtained assistance from the Italian embassy and was temporarily engaged to watch anarchists. He was dismissed, however, as the embassy officials discovered that he sympathized with the anarchists. It was then that he bought a revolver and fifty cartridges and came to Brussels. Failing to find work. Rubino said he "determined to act" and went to the cathedral with the intention of shooting the King. He did not fire at his intended victim for fear of hitting intervening soldiers. Then Rubino proceeded to the Rue Royaie, where he awaited the cortege. The royal carriage containing the King passed before Rubino was able to draw his revolver, hence the shots only hit the carriage following. In Rubino's pockets were found picture post cards bearing portraits of King Leopold, Prince Albert and the Princess Elizabeth. The prisoner said he procured the card so as to be able to recognize the members of the royal family and expressed the hope that others would be more successful than himselg. He also said he did not regret his act and would have fired at any monarch—"at the King of Italy as readily as at the King of the Belgians, because monarchs are tyrants who cause the misery of their peoples." Washington, D. C—Secretary Hay Called at the Belgian Legation to express to the officials there regret at the attempt on the life of the King of Belgium, and to extend the congratulations of the people of this country on the King's escape.

Vienna.—Michael Malarczek, a butcher, of Satoralja, Ujhely, Hungary, has murdered his father, mother and three other members of his family by setting fire to the house in which they dwelt and thus burning them to death. The murderer committed the crime out of revenge for a refusal on their part to give him a sum of m6ney he demanded. Malarczek first intended to die with them, but changed his mind and jumped from an upper story of the house into the street. He was immediately arrested and the police had considerable difficulty to keep the crowd from lynching him. GUIDE KILLED BY A HUNTER. Mistook the Man For a Deer and Shot Him in the Neck. Guilford, Me.—Tohn Hagan, a guide, was mistaken for a deer while hunting in the woods on u\e Penob.scot River, «ight miles above the head of Chesuncook Lake, and shot through the neck. Hagan and a brother were guiding two brothers named Wheeler, from Providence, R. 1., on the west branch near what is known us The Moosehorn. While traveling through the woods in two parties one of the Wheeler brothers saw an object in the bushes a short distance ahead and jumping on a lod shot Hagan. Death followed instantly] IN A CANNON BALL OF 1812 Relic Contained Warning- of an Intended At ack on Washington. It Was Our Up Near Bladensburg, and In It Wai a Parchment Addressed to the Patriot Army. Washington, D. C—An old rusty cannon ball, tired from a-British field piece at the attack on Bladensburg by the English force under General Ross and Lieutenant Wainwright during the War of ISI2, hit a laborer working a short distance outside of that town and broke his leg. The ball, when examined, was found to inclose a roll of parchment addressed to "the commanding officer of the American forces defending Washington" and containing a detailed account of the plans of Admiral Cockburn the Commander-in- Chief of the British naval force then in the Potomac and of which the land expedition was a part, for his march on Washington and the destruction of the national capital. The communication was signed "Timson Howard, mate of the American merchantman, General Stone, and victim of the British press gang." A road is being cut through near Bladensburg. The pick of a laborer dislodged the rusty relic from the earth where it had lain for nearly a century. It rolled down a steep hill and struck John Key, one of the laborers, with considerable force, breaking his leg near the ankle. The foreman of the gang investigated the relic, and with a knife cut away the dirt from a two-inch hole in the j ball. He then brought out a roll of parchment, yellow and discolored with age, but which when unfolded proved to be the communication referred to. A considerable portion of the writing was illegible, but enough could be read i to make a fairly connected whole. The communication signed by Howard, who, from the character and phraseology of the document was a man of some education, explains that he had been impressed into the British service . shortly before the beginning of the war. and had since been compelled to serve against his country. While acting as orderly to Admiral Cockburn he had learned that the British Commander-in-Chief intended to sack and burn Washington and lay waste the surrounding country. A portion of the writing says: * "Wth the aid of God Almighty let all t> * *■ patriot rally to * * * Washington and * * * Marauders who are coming * * * rapine and murder * * * defeated in former years * * * regain * * * through naval supremacy * * * press gang outrages * * * lost before." A postscript to the note explains that Howard wrote nearly 100 of the warnings, and knowing that the Americans made a practice of using over again , the cannon balls fired at them by the British, had slipped the papers into shells taken by the land force which marched on Bladensburg in the forlorn hope that at least one of the notes might be discovered. The cannon ball and the roll of parchment containing the record of the patriot's futile endeavor to aid the country against which he was compelled to serve, were brought to Washington by Thomas A. Byrne, of Bladensburg, and will be presented to the National Museum as an addition to the already large collection of relics of the War of LSI 2. NEW ELIXIR OF LIFE FOUND. Dr. fcoeb Reetores T>yhig Animals Witl Injection* of Sodium and Calcium. Chicago, 111.—Professor Jacques Loeb and his assistants in the Chicago Uni- Blty have shed new light on the old problem of life and death. Salt and water, the "elixir of life" discovered by Dr. Loeb two years ago to be efficient in making turtles' hearts beat again, has been found to be a powerful restorative for dying animals, and the scientist is a step nearer the goal of prolonging human life indefinitely. Assistant Professor Edward P. Lyons began his experiments with the lowest forms of mammal life — mice — then dogs and cats. He gave the animals such treatment as would bring them to a condition where life was practically extinct. Then by injections of sodium and calcium solutions into the veins of the failing mammals he was able to restore for varying periods of time the heart-beat to its normal rhythm and strength. LOUBET MAY VISIT US. flan to Hare the French President Attend the St. Louie Exposition. Paris—The Temps says that a scheme is afoot to have President Loubet visit the St. Louis Exposition. The paper says that he would travel on a French warship to New Orleans and up the Mississippi River to St. Louis, where he would meet President Roosevelt. Upon the conclusion of his visit he would proceed to New York City by rail, Avhence he would pail to France on an American warship. M. Francois Deloncle, in conversing with the members of the St. Louis Exposition Committee in 1900, suggested that M. Loubet be invited to attend. He has lately received confirmation from St. Louis that the idea is favored by the committee, which is considering submitting to M. Loubet a plan of svhich the foregoing is an outline. Coman Concedes Cunneen'e Election. Deputy Attorney-General Henry B. Coman, who was the Republican candidate for Attorney-General of New fork at the recent election, has conceded the election of John Cunneen, of i Buffalo, his opponent for the office on I the Democratic and Prohibition tickets. He says he will not contest the result DECISIONIN THE SAMOACASE # King Oscar Rules Adversely to England and the United States. TRIPARTITE AGREEMENT BROKEN The Arbitrator Finds That Action toy British and American Forces in Firing: Across Apia Was Unwarranted—The Two GoTernments Responsible For Losses—Germany's Victory Complete. Washington. D. C—By previous arrangement between the principals, there was published simultaneously in Washington, London and Eerlin the Cull text of the decision given by His Majesty King Oscar 11, of Sweden, as arbitrator between the three countAs aamed of certain claims on account of military operations in Samoa in the pear 1899. The substance of the decision has been announced heretofore in the cable dispatches from Stockholm, but they did not convey to the officials here a full realization of the complete victory won by Germany, for it appears that on every single point the arbitrator adopted the most extreme German view in opposition to the United States and Great Britain. The arbitration grew out of claims by German or British subjects or American citizens for compensation on account of losses they alleged they bad suffered in consequence of unwarranted military action on the part of German, British or American officers in Samoa between the Ist of January, 1899, and the 13th of May followifflj The question really at issue was whether or not the British and UniWa. States Governments should be considered responsible for the losses. The arbitrator recites that the United States steamship Philadelphia and the British ships Porpoise and Royalist on March 15, 1899, opened tire across the town of Apia. Samoa, directing tl*e same against the forces of High' Chief Mataafa; that the same vessels brought the newly appointed King of Samoa, Malietoa, and his forces to Mulinuu Point and gave them arms and ammunition for the ensuing struggle against Mataafa. In answer to the British and American claims that under the treaty of Berlin any one of the signatory Powers was fully authorized tft* enforce the decision of the Chief Justice of Samoa, declaring Malietoa King the arbitrator says: "We have found nothing in the said general act or any subsequent agreement which authorizes one of the signatory Powers, or a majority of them, to take action to enforce the conditions of the act or to make the decisions of the Chief Justice binding on the Powers."The arbitrator insists that the Berlin Conference aimed to establish a principle that in their dealings with Samoa the Powers could proceed only by common accord, and that as the con-. sular representatives of the three Powers by proclamation had recognized the provisional government of Mataafa the Powers themselves were bound on principles of international good faith to maintain the situation until by common accord they decided to change it. Touching the British-American com plaint against the German Consul for his refusal to sustain the decision of the Chief Justice, the arbitrator hold? that "it cannot be considered to have been the duty of the German Consul to take part in the issuance of said proclamation, and it has not been proved that with regard to said decii sion any steps were taken by him conj trary to the general act, and, therej fore, no responsibility attaches for the i attitude taken by him in this respect." Continuing, the decision recites that Malietoa had been completely defeated I before the arrival of the Philadelphia, I but that the United States Admiral and the British authorities brought back his warriors and armed and provisioned them, giving them ammunition, which, under the treaty there should have been issued only at the unanimous request of the three Cousuls. The decision closes as follows: "That the military action in question, viz., the bringing back of the Malietoans and the distribution to them of arms and ammunition, the the military operations on shore and the stoppage of the street traffic cannot be considered as having been warranted."And that, therefore, His Britannic Majesty's Government and the United States Government are responsible under the convention of the Tth of November, 1899, for losses caused by said military action; reserving for a future decision the question as to the extent to which the two Governments, or each of them, may be considered responsible for such losses."

STATE PAYS FOR A DEATH Mrs. Bowen First Benefie:ary Under Maryland's Odd Insurance Law. Her Husband Accidentally Killed—Employers Make Quarterly Payments and Are .Relieved From Damage Suits. Baltimore, Md.—Maryland's novel State insurance fund has paid its first death benefit to Mrs. Josephine Bowen. Under the Employers' and Employes' Liability Co-operative act, passed by the Legislature, she has received $1000 in full settlement of her claim for the accidental death of her husband. The insurance act was presented to the General Assembly by Senator Lewis, of Allegheny, who started in life as a miner, studied law under conditions which required much selfsacrifice, was admitted to the bar, and was elected to the last Legislature mainly through the influence of the labor vote. The bill as introduced provided that all corporations and individuals employing men in Maryland should be compelled to pay into the hands of the State Insurance Commissioner about sixty cents quarterly for each employe. In the event of an employe's death by. accident his family or heirs should receive $1000, the payment of this sum absolving his employers from any further claims for damages. The measure met with considerable opposition, and it was finally passed in an amended form, which allowed employers to act voluntarily in the matter of subscribing to the fund, and also provided that employes should pay one-half the amount of the annual assessment. Enough employers subscribed to the fund to place it on a working basis. Robert Bowen, the husband of the beneficiary to whom the first payment under the new law has been made, was employed as a motorman by the United Railways Company of Baltimore, one of the big corporations which has taken advantage of the law. The company pays sixty cents per quarter on each of its 3000 employes and does not deduct a cent from their salaries. Bowen was killed by being struck on the head by a trolley pole while in charge of his car. Mrs. Bowen applied to the State Insurance Commissioner and her claim was immediately paid. There are now several thousand dollars in the fund. None of the big mining companies of Maryland, for the benefit of whose employes the act was intended, has subscribed to the fund. A compulsory law is favored to compel them to indorse the act. CONVICTED OF BOYS' MURDER. Paul Woodward Found Guilty by Jury After Fifteen Minutes of Deliberation. Camden, N. J.—Paul Woodward was convicted of the murders of the boys, John Coffin and Price Jennings, by luring them to the woods where their bodies were found, and there poisoning them and then robbing their bodies. He was remanded for sentence. The jury went out at 4 o'clock and sent word within fifteen minutes that they had found a verdict. Their finding was not announced until nearly two hours later, however, as Judge Garrison left the courtroom when they did. and it was not known where he had gone. Woodward maintained the same attitude of amused indifference that has marked his bearing ever since his arraignment. He admitted that he had bought considerable quantities of strychnine and also accompanying the boys part of the way to the forest where their bodies were found. He admitted that he had confessed the murder to Prosecutor Scovil and fellow-prisoners in the Jail. He said these confessions were lies. His mother, who had denied that she had ever been convicted of crime, admitted when confronted with the records, that she had been convicted of obtaining money under false pretenses in Philadelphia. WOMEN POP THE QUESTION. Tlie Gorernor-Elect of Kansas Deluged "With Offers of Marriage. Topeka, Kan.—Within the last few days a great many letters have come to the Topeka postofflce addressed in a feminine hand to W. J. Bailey, Governor-elect of Kansas. Many of them are incased in dainty envelopes, from which a faint odor of perfume escapes. The letters are from marriageable women over the country who hope to become the wife of the next Governor of the State. Mr. Bailey has received many proposals of marriage by mail. A number of the applicants sent their photographs. Mr. Bailey is a bachelor, and recently announced that he could not find a wife in Kansas. Chicago School Strikes Over. The "strike" among the pupils of the Andrew Jackson School at Chicago is apparently over. Pupils held indignation meetings and denounced the suspension of Miss McKeon.

CHICAGO PUPILS STRIKE Many Children in Several Seho:ls» Refuse to Attend Their Classes. Quite a Feel ins ef Dissatisfaction Prevail* Among tbe Rising Generation —Various Reasons Assigned. Chicago. — Schoolchildren, parents, teachers and Board of Education members are now at outs in earnest over the school "strike." Conditions have reached a crisis as a result of the action of the Board of Education in confirming the suspension of Miss Jane McKeon, of the Andrew Jackson School. A revival of the trouble at that institution took place the following morning, and simultaneous with it came a "strike" at four other schools. Parents living in the neighborhood of the Andrew Jackson School are in sympathy with the children and uphold their demands. Alderman John Powers and other persons said to be in command of "influence" will be again appealed to to make an attempt to right the wrong, that, it is asserted, has been done. The trouble at the Andrew Jackson School has brought about an epidemic of so-called strikes among schoolchildren. In the morning some pupils of the WTashburne School refused to go to their classes. One reason assigned by the pupils is that their teacher. Mrs. Ruth Parsons, occasionally comes to school late. In the Tilden and Garfield schools the youngsters declare that they have been deprived of their "inalienable rights" to have recesses at stated hours and for a stated duration. Sedition has spread to the School. "Strikers" there hardly more than high enough to look over the teacher's table followed the lead of other schools. "Our teacher—his legs are too long; that's why we struck" they say. Bloomingtufl, 111.—There mlz -c °~~'- ous turn to the high school troubles when, out of sympathy for the twelve students expelled for the color rush, the remaining students left their schoolroom. Some did not appear at the institution in the morning, while most of those assembled walked out in a body at noon before adjournment. DEERSLAYER AGED TEN.

"I was bound that it shouldn't get away" said the boy. '"I was knocked down twice before I hit him right." He then secured a table carving knife from the house and cut the deer's throat. The deer was a doe and weighed 130 pounds. THREE YEARS FOR BUTLER. The St. Louie Politician and Millionaire Convicted of Bribery.

Philippine Commission Creates a Stern Law to Stop Highway Robberies. Manila.—Stern measures have been resorted to by the Philippine Commission to assist in the suppression of ladroneism. It has passed an act making highway robbery committed by three or more persons a capital offense.

Severe penalties are prescribed for those assisting ladrones in the commission of crimes. STATE NEWS. Thanksgiving Proclamation Issued. Governor Odell has issued the following Thanksgiving proclamation: "Our country has been blessed with peace, prosperity and happiness, and our people are respected for their conservatism, for their enlightenment and their progress. The beneficent influences of our institutions have been exerted for the advancement of civilization, and to us h.ive come problems which required not only patriotism in their solution, but faith in God, who has placed upon us the responsibility for this advancement of His work. For all these blessings we should render homage to Him. I therefore designate Thursday, November 27, 1902, as a day of Thanksgiving and praise.

The police believe that the abandoned child was kidnaped from wealthy parents, possibly for money, but more likely for revenge. It is believed that the man and woman have fled to Pennsylvania. The neighborhood is very much excited over the affair and a number of very estimable families desire to adopt the little one. She is about two years of age and is not able to give the police a clue that will aid in establishing her identity. Skunks Infest a City. Geneva is suffering from a plague of skunks. The animals invaded the city about the middle of October and have been moving toward the business centre ever since. The animals entered the boiler room of the Geneva Manufacturing Company one night. The watchman's dog attacked them and the factory was in consequence closed for three days. A New York Central locomotive cut one of the animals in two in the Fifth Ward. The locomotive on the Black Diamond Express on the Lehigh Valley Railroad ran over another in the Sixth Ward. The result is that a considerable portion of the northern and eastern sections of the city were- not attractive. John street was deserted after a skunk was killed there a few days ago,. No Trace of Missing Couple. Chief of Police McCabe has searched the effects of Miss Kittie McLaughlin at her boarding place in Poughkeepsie, and found $320 in twenty-dollar bills of the Catskill National Bank and her poeketbook containing over $6.
