More New States: The Senate Committee on Territories has decided to report favorably the bills for the admission of Arizona and New Mexico to the Union. This act of long-delayed justice brings the abolition of the Territorial system in plain sight. When Arizona and New Mexico become States the only people in the Union who will lack any of the political rights of American citizens will be those of Oklahoma, the Indian Territory, the District of Columbia and Alaska. Oklahoma is well qualified for Statehood, and may be admitted by the present Congress. The Indian Territory has an ample population, and will doubtless be admitted as soon as it wants to be. There are no signs of such a desire at present. The District of Columbia will always have to remain under the control of Congress, and as it is immediately under the Congressional eye it fares very well in that relation. It will be a long time yet before Alaska is ready to be a State, unless we consent to admit British Columbia and unite the two, but if its people are really suffering for self-government we might annex them to the State of Washington and allow them to be represented in the Legislature at Olympia. The admission of Arizona and New Mexico will imply the election of four new Senators. and the land thereabouts was about that time subdivided by Chapman & Glassell of Los Angeles and put on the market under the name of Richland. Up at Burruel Point and the neighborhood of Olive, John Bush and Jonathan Watson had things all their own way. Gospel Swamp, which later made so many men rich raising hogs and hominy, had not been discovered. The first settlers at Westminster, brought in by Robert Strong, were just breaking ground, and did not discover until a year or two later that they could get flowing wells. The first flowing well was sunk by Jesse Davis, who is still alive and hearty at Garden Grove. The pipe was made of wood and it was a poor affair, but it pointed the way to success. Destructive Forest Fires. Spokane, July 27.—A special from Kaalo says that the losses so far reported from the awful forest fires raging throughout the mountains of that section aggregate about $125,000. The people of the Sloocan district are left destitute, without shelter or food. A relief party has gone there, but it is feared there will be great suffering before it pushes its way through the burning forests. Fires have been burning around the ill-fated towns for several days, but about noon a roaring gale swept down the mountains, lifting high in the air the tops and limbs of burning trees and carrying them long distances as brands to start new fires in a thousand different places. Almost instantly a dezon fires were raging in Three Forks. Terror-stricken people had to flee for their lives, leaving everything behind them. The proprietor of a laundry and bath-house and his wife jumped into the creek and rolled down stream until they reached a place of shelter. At Bear Lake Mr. Mahoney, who ran a hotel, with his wife and two small children, waded out into the waters of the lake and remained there for hours. It is almost certain that a number of lives have been lost among the prospectors. The total loss at Three Forks is about $65,000; at Watson, about $20,000; at Bear Lake, $25,000. It is feared that Callahan, a telegraph operator at Watson, and Frank Price, who was on the north fork of Carpenter Creek, have perished. ASHLAND (Wis.), July 27.—Forest fires are producing great suffering and loss throughout this vicinity, and raised com-all of them are unskilled workmen is no work for them. "I have made a canvass of the yard," said Capt. O'Neill, safe to say there are fully 6,000 men in the vicinity who usually fled mount in the industries operated square mile called Packington." Idle before the strike, to be sure of them are held from seeking their sitions through fear of the odium result from any attempt to work present conditions. "These thousands of idle persons coming more restless every day sight of strangers working in their once filled will provoke us personal attack that will prove to months I fear. No serious reason has been experienced this week, but think the danger is over yet."

The admission of Arizona and New Mexico will imply the election of four new Senators, all of whom would have been Democrats if they had been chosen two years ago, and would probably be Republicans if they were to be voted for to day. If Utah, Arizona and New Mexico should send six Republican Senators to Washington instead of six Democratic party would have what a Democratic contemporary termis a "mortgage" on the Senate during the second session of the Fifty-fourth Congress. Prince Von Hatzfeldt, Gambler. New York, July 29.—Prince Von Hatzeldt's experience in foreign gambling houses cannot have been as extensive as it is reputed to have been if he finds fault with the refusal of a dealer at Saratoga to extend his credit beyond $10,000. It is only in novels that unlimited credit is given to any man who gambles in regulation establishments in this country or in Europe. A distinct and thoroughly well understood agreement must be entered into by every man who handles a check on credit, whether the establishment is on Eighth Avenue, New York, or at Monte Carlo. It is customary to ask for these credits from the proprietor of the game, and he fixes upon the amount. In the case of Prince Von Hatzfeldt, who is C.P. Huntington's son-in-law, the credit asked for was $20,000 and according to Mr. Canfield's partner, who was in New York this afternoon, a credit of more than $10,000 was refused. Mr. Canfield had a long conversation with the Prince, in which the methods of payment, the time it would be necessary to wait in case the Prince lost and other details were thoroughly discussed. After weighing the matter carefully Mr. Canfield agreed to allow the Prince to draw $10,000 worth of checks without putting up any money, and announced that further credit would have to be the subject of further negotiations. There is nothing extraordinary about the amount of this credit. When the Prince lost his $10,000 he had no right according to universal rules, to ask for another penny; nor had the manager a right to permit him to take more checks unless a definite arrangement was made for the stipulated sum. The Prince is probably angry over his losses and not because the dealer refused to lend him more checks. A professional gambler, who is associated with Mr. Canfield, speaks with deepest admiration of Mr. Huntington's son-in-law's skill at roulette. He played six systems, including the famous Russian Algebra system in less than one hour one night. These systems involve deep combinations, and all of them require quick skill and tenacious and well-drilled memory. The Prince jumped from one to the other and played each one with such exactness and with such knowledge of the way luck was running that he aroused the admiration of the American gamblers who were gathered around him. He did everything but win. The Old Lang Syne. Santa Ana Blade. lives, leaving everything behind them.

ASHLAND (Wis.), July 27.—Forest fires are producing great suffering and loss throughout this vicinity, and railroad companies have never before experienced such damage from fires. On the Wisconsin central road it is impossible to move a train. Phillips, the headquarters of the John R. Davis Lumber Company, a manufacturing town of 2,500, is destroyed by fire. A dispatch received from Fairfield, a small station a few miles this side of Phillips, says that 500 women and children from Phillips are in the woods without shelter. They sent a request for food and supplies. The train that started from here this evening was obliged to return as the bridges are destroyed. Communication with Fairfield is now shut off, and it is feared that the town is also on fire. Along the Omaha line the fires are raging with terrible fierceness. Shore Crossing; a village eight miles from Asbland, was destroyed this afternoon. The homeless families were brought to Asbland. The railroad bridges near there were destroyed, and at 4 o'clock this afternoon a fast Omaha freight train and sixteen loaded cars were entirely burned. Both the engineer and fireman were injured, and the brakemen are missing. The loss to cars and freight amounts to many thousands of dollars. Mason, a small town south on the Omaha line, caught fire this evening. The White River Lumber Company's mill, with 40,000-foot of lumber in the yards, was destroyed, and at 6 o'clock the latest report received here says the entire town is threatened. The Omaha bridge across the White River at Mason is burned. Railroad officials say the loss at Mason is fully $1,000,000, with $250,000 insurance. News from Hurley states that town has been enveloped in dense clouds of smoke all day, with fires on nearly every side. MINNEAPOLIS, July 29.—The terrible scenes at Phillips beggar all description. The blackened faces of those who tried to save their homes, stare with bloodhed eyes at the blackened heaps which mark their once happy homes. Not since the forest fires which destroyed Peshtigo, has anything occurred which will compare with the scene of ruin here. A committee of citizens from Ashland arrived with a special train of provisions last night at 9 a.m. It was the first material relief to arrive, and it arrived just in time to keep the people from actually suffering from want of food. Provisions were given out in small quantities, so as to make them last as long as possible and keep something until available provisions arrived. Men and women walk the streets all begrimed, wringing their hands and bemoaning their sad fate. The town hall and a few small buildings are all that are left standing. They were immediately converted into shelter for the destitute, but only a few of the women and children could crowd into them. A vast multitude had to remain without shelter and food last night, but tents were brought in from neighboring towns, and improvised bats are being utilized tonight. Gov. Peck and his staff arrived from Madison this morning. A dozen cars of provisions have arrived from various cities, and the organization for relief has been completed. Gov. Peck met with the committee at the townhall this morning and offered many suggestions. He brought a quantity of sheeting, which is being converted into tents.

It was built in 1871, and was first conducted by the late Henry Bremmerman. At that time Anaheim was the trading center for the whole country between Capistrano and Los Nietos. It is true that it was all sheep pasture, except immediately around Anaheim, where the Stearns ranches were then beginning their policy of subdivision. There was no railroad, and if you wanted to reach San Francisco you had to go by boat. Business in Anaheim then was good because it was not overdone. There were but three grocery stores in town and they were kept by Don August Langenberger, the Davis Bros. and Heimann & George. Theodore Rimpau had the only clothing store in the town, although Davis Bros. kept a stock of dry goods and most everything else. Dr. Higgins was postmaster and kept the only drug store in town. The late William R. Olden was agent for the Stearns ranches, and he did more than any other man before or since to lay the foundation of the boom which came after his death. He never omitted a chance to write about Southern California, and as he was an interesting writer his stuff was widely printed. Olden was just about 15 years in advance of his age. What a sturdy race were those old Germans who settled Anaheim! Lord knows how many years ago, August Lungenberger, Henry Werdter, Tim Boege, John P. Zeyn, Rudolph Luedke, Henry Kroeger, Theodore Reiser, Theodore Rimpau and F. A. Korn are all living, and, although they are getting old, they are hare and hearty yet. Not forgetting Mrs. Metz. The two livery stables did a big business, and were kept by N. H. Mitchell and Gaddy & Lewis. Mitchell and Lewis are both in Anaheim yet. Dick Melrose and George C. Knox ran the Anaheim Gazette, and it was a good paper then, as it is now. Henry Kuchl was a barefooted kid. The Anaheim Hotel is almost the only business building of that period in Anaheim that survives. All the others that then stood and were of any importance, including the Planters' Hotel, have been wiped out by fire or replaced by others. When the Anaheim Hotel was built the only house between the river and San Juan were Spurgeon's, the San Joaquin ranch house and the house occupied by the Barhams, who had a big band of sheep. R. M. Barham is now in the internal revenue service in Los Angeles. Orange was not known on the maps then, A Rich Wife Syndicate. The recent departure to Europe of Prince Andre Poniatowsky, who has been in this country fishing for a rich wife, has brought out an extraordinary revelation in the marital economics. The Prince came to this country from Paris, bent upon matrimonial ventures and in search of a wife with money. He spent his time mostly in Newport, New York and San Francisco, where matrimonial catches of the pecuniary sort are most abundant. He succeeded in engaging himself to three or four heiresses, but one after the other the engagements were broken, and the discouraged prince went back empty-handed, having nothing but his title, which he had failed to exchange for money, and nothing else, for he is an impeccable prince, which is the condition of most princes not immediately connected with some royal house. The cause of his failure has leaked out, and it is one which should put American heiresses upon their guard last they fall into a trap, which, under all its gilt, is extremely vulgar as well as mercenary. It has come to light that there are a large number of noblemen in Italy, France and Germany who have no other possessions in the world than their titles, and whose one object in life is to swap titles for money by marrying rich girls. It appears further that syndicates have been organized in certain European cities which furnish these princely paupers with funds to come to this country, cut a dashing swell, get into the first families, to which their titles are sesantes, marry the heiress and divide the profits of the venture with the syndicate. The party who has exposed this new syndicate business further says: "This seems well nigh incredible, but I am positively assured that it has been done, the syndicate actually paying the pauper nobleman's fare to this country and supplying him with funds to live in the best of style pending the result of the matrimonial speculation." Prince Poniatowsky was one of the protégés of a syndicate of this kind. Idle Men In The Stock Yards. Chicago, July 27.—There are now more idle men in the stockyards region than at any time since the strike of 1886. From daylight until the middle of the forenoon every day, the great slaughter houses are besieged by thousands of men in search of work.

The crop will be an enormous one, some growers estimating it as high as 12,000 tons. Owing to the fact that last year's crop has been used up on account of the small fruit yield in the East, the California growers are anticipating fancy prices for their apricots. Will C. Bailey, in 1891 while editor of the Colton News, visited Pomona. While strolling around town at night he fell over a fire hydrant, which had been placed in the middle of a crossing, sustaining severe injuries. He sued the Pomona Land and Water company, the owners of the hydrant, for damages and was last week awarded $500. A dead has been recorded transferring the Irvine estate, including the San Joaquin ranch, valued at $2,000,000, to the Irvine Company, recently incorporated under the laws of West Virginia. The conveyance is supposed to be a move in the pending irrigation suit with settlers on the Santiago creek, and it is thought the purpose is to transfer the suit into the Federal courts. The Senate Committee on Territories in ordering reports on the bills for the admission of Arizona and New Mexico has amended them so as to provide for the final admission with representation in Congress the same as Utah. When the bill for Arizona passed the House it contained a constitution which had already been adopted. The Senate struck out this provision and a new constitution must be adopted. It is understood the bills will not be called up this session in the Senate, but that early in the short session they will be passed. Dolly Jones of Rigg county, Ky., arranged to elope with her lover, Joseph Collin. Cassius Hicks, a rival, overheard the arrangement and on the night appointed, with a confederate, he deceived Miss Jones to his own buggy and, forcing her to enter; drove her to the house of a friend, where for ten days she was kept a prisoner. Each day Hicks plead his case and each day Miss Jones refused him. Meantime notices were conveyed to her father, who hastened with an armed pose to release his daughter. Her captors ignominiously fled, and now Miss Jones is to marry her lover without an elopement. Stanford University will open on September 1 with 1,100 students. The university has an abundance of funds to maintain 1,000 or more students and eighty professors in entitled to remuneration, but small comfort will be derived from the possession of the pieces of paper, for there is no fund in the State treasury from which the demands may be paid. A special appropriation will have to be made at the next session of the Legislature to cover the extraordinary expense incurred by the National Guard during the strike. As the Legislature will not meet until January 1895, the warrants cannot be honored for at least five and probably six months. An endeavor will be made to effect arrangements with brokers to take up all or a portion of the warrants. For this accommodation the best offer so far made has been a discount of ten per cent. As the total payments will amount to at least $50,000, there is a good thing in buying up the warrants. Chicago millionaires are getting aired in court in fine style. The latest to face the music is P. C. Touhy of the Rogers Park suburb, who will be tried for gross cruelties to his laughters, Alice and Mable. The family lives in the finest residence in Rogers Park. The present difficulty has arisen through Mr. Touhy's objection to the visits of certain young men at his house, where four attractive daughters form a nucleus for the suburb. It is said that his anger at the presence of some young men at the house on the evening of July 5 led to his striking his daughter Alice, and causing Mrs. Touhy to swear cut a warrant for her husband's arrest. Denver detectives arrested John Mullins, Herman Rubbake and C. H. McKinney of Colorado Springs for complicity in tarring and feathering Adjt.-Gen. Tarsney. They were held in bonds of $5,000. Before bonds could be furnished Sheriff Bowers of Colorado Springs demanded the custody of the prisoners and took them to the County Jail. Bowers asked by what right the Denver detectives had made arrests in El Paso county, and was informed that they had been especially authorized by Gov. White to act in the Taransee matter. The Denver detectives swore out a number of warrants, but just how many is not known. It is claimed that of the number for whom warrants have been issued two are women, and of the remainder two are visiting in Iowa and Illinois and will be brought back. Enough evidence has been secured to convict the suspected parties. There has been a deal of comment in naval circles on the selection of Captain Robley D. Evans, who stands at almost the foot of the line of captains, to command the armored cruiser New York, the finest sea command When found Miss Dooley was still alive, but in a weak state of physical strength. She was lying on the ground apparently lifeless, with disheveled hair and dusty clothing, but when she heard footsteps and the cracking of the twigs and dead limbs breaking under the tread of the searchers the girl raised herself into a sitting position and began to gaze about her. As soon as she saw the men approaching, she attempted to take her own life by trying to swallow a portion of the contents of a vial, which afterward proved to be a catholic acid, but did not succeed in doing so. She was taken to her home, and may soon recover. Emma Dooley, tall and good looking, of grenue complexion and vivacious disposition, had been the life of her sister's household. None were gayer than she, and her presence at the social gatherings of the little town of Ione was always welcome. Miss Dooley was aged 34 years when she met and fell in love with James McDonnall, a plasterer of San Francisco, and an engagement resulted. The lovers corresponded regularly. One day there came to Miss Dooley a letter addressed to her lover's handwriting. What that letter contained no one knows save the writer and the woman, but Emma Dooley's happiness fled the day she read it. She grew more and listless. That night she disappeared and disappeared so completely and mysteriously as though the earth had opened and swallowed her. The alarm was given and the whole population of Ione and vicinity took part in the systematic search that has begun. The first claw was obtained when reports came to Ione of a wild woman roaming the hills. She was seen near a spring within a few miles of Buena Vista, and at the sight of the travelers shefied and disappeared in the thick underbrush. Tracks of the wandering woman were found, but as the searchers were about to capture the fugitive she eluded them. Her discovery was the result of the entring vigilance and pursuit of a band ofachers who composed the searching party. Deserted Islands Another name is to be added to the long list of islands which were once the homes of prosperous communities, and now are deserts. This is the island of St. Helena, where Napoleon died. For some years the population of the island has been declining, but the food supply now falls short of the wants of those who remain, so that they have to rely upon passing vessels to avert starvation. It is proposed to raise a fund in London to establish fisheries for taking the food, flounder and other seafish which inhabit the surrounding waters. The island is tropical. It lies in 16 deg. south latitude, and is 1,140 miles from Africa and 1,800 South America. Its population never exceeded 10,000 souls, and is now 3,000 or 4,000. Yet at one time, in the days of the old East Indiaman, it was quite a famous place. All the old IndiaClippers touched there to water on their voyage from London to Calcutta or Madras to Bombay; and during the six years of Napoleon's residence the visit to the island was the leading incident of the voyage. The British Government went to considerable expense to feed their prisoner suitably, and encouraged the natives in growing bananas, oranges and lemons, for which passing vessels furnished reliable market. When the opening of the Suze Canal put an end to the long cape voyages the cultivation of these fruits died out, and the small cultivable area of the island was devoted to the growth of potatoes. A real plague lately broke out in the shape of the termite ant, which ate every book and most of the fabrics of cloth and clothing; thus she was taken to her home, and may soon recover. Stanford University will open on September 1 with 1,100 students. The university has an abundance of funds to maintain 1,000 or more students and eighty professors indefinitely. It is in no way connected with or relying upon the Southern Pacific railroad, and therefore its resources are its own. The settlement of the estate is going along well, and the university will open the year in excellent condition. The report recently that it would probably not open for lack of money is an error. The entire outlook is promising. Gossips at Freeport, N.Y., have just learned that Miss Mary Cornellius has been secretly married to John Mackey, his coachman. Miss Cornellius is worth $60,000, and is some years Mackey's senior. On July 8 Miss Cornellius and John went to the home of Rev. F.M. Hallock at Brooklyn, who performed the marriage ceremony. As both were of mature years, and were supposed to know what they were doing, the minister had no hesitation in making them man and wife. After the marriage the couple returned to the old Cornellius homestead at Roslyn, and have been living there quietly ever since. A profound sensation was produced in the Congregational church at Yorkville, Ill., at Sunday morning's service by the pastor, Rev.J.d.Haigh, who at the close of his sermon announced that his wife had deserted him and left for parts unknown, taking with her their two children, two girls aged 11 and 14 years. Mrs. Haigh, with the children, left on Thursday morning ostensibly to enjoy a picnic at Cowdry's Park, and was expected home the same evening, but failed to return. Haigh began to surmise the situation, and upon investigation found his wife had taken all the clothing and personal effects of herself and children. Mrs. Haigh is much your garb being a second wife, and though in poor health is pleasant and attractive. Ellen Healey, one of San Francisco's most noted characters, died at the Receiving Hospital from a complication of diseases resulting from over-indulgence in liquor. The woman at one time moved in good society. After she became a victim to strong drink she frequented the slums and spent most of her time in jail. She had a maid for breaking expensive show windows, and was a terror to all whom she considered her enemies. She had an especial aversion to being monitored in newspapers, and whenever her name appeared in print she avenged herself by breaking windows of the offending publication. After she tried this method several times the newspapers let her alone. She also terrorized saloon-keepers who refused to give her liquor in the same manner. An exciting shooting affair occurred on the broad gauge train to the ferries at Oakland Saturday morning. George W.Gray, an aged man, attacked C.R.Bennett, ex-secretary of the local society for the prevention of vice, and shot to kill. Bennett tried to jump from the train, but was deterred by the wire gates on the platforms. Then Bennett drew a revolver and returned fire. Before he could be disarmed one of the passengers was slightly injured by a bullet. Neither of the combatants were hurt however. Both were arrested. Over a year ago Gray attempted to kill Bennett, who ruined his daughter and continued to cruelly persecute her after she had attempted to shake him. Bennett has continued all along to Bolly Jones of Rigg county, Ky., arranged to clope with her lover Joseph Collin.

A real plague lately broke out in the shape of the termite ant, which ate every book and most of the fabrics of cloth and leather; thus the present inhabitants are destitute of clothing as well as food. This is the case of an island which cannot produce enough to feed its own people and has no special product that will bear the expense of exportation through the stormy waters that surround it. It will probably be entirely depopulated by and by. Another island which lies some twenty-two degrees south of St. Helena, in the same ocean, is Tristan d'Acunha. This was annexed and colonized some 400 years ago by the Portuguese and has since been occupied successively by the English, Spainards, Portuguese and Dutch; each race, after a few years' occupation, abandoned it, and never returned. The population never exceeded 100 in number. This handful lived on the flesh of penguins, cattle, sheep and grass, and on the potato crops, which are abundant. When the Autarctic whale fishery was booming the people of Tristan lived well on its profits; now it has ceased to be pursued and the islands contemplate a wholesale migration to South Africa. An island about which a good deal of romance hangs is Easter Island, in the South Pacific, about midway between Valparaiso and Tahiti. The monumental ruins which are found in many parts of the island indicate that it must have borne at one time a population of some ten thousand or more, and twenty years ago an aboriginal population of a thousand or more was reported by mariners. At latest dates the only settlers were a family from Tahiti, which supported itself by raising cattle for the Valparaiso market, and the head of the family declared that he was ready to leave as soon as he could get transportation. The seas of the globe are full of islands on which hard labor will secure the absolute necessities of life, as the descendants of the mutineers of the Bounty have proved. But there are few uninhabited islands that will do much more. The South Pacific Archipelago, which has been the dream of poets, will produce nothing for export but copra, and a community cannot live on copra. Navigation to these islands is always difficult, in consequence of the reefs, and thus freights are high. Islands which have no surplus products that can be exchanged for goods can hardly make much progress, and it is always a problem whether the people had better not go elsewhere. It was not the design of providence that all the world should be inhabited. Diamond A Mocha Coffee and the very best of Old Government Java Coffee, fresh roasted, always at Isaac Lyons' store.

Bennett has continued all along to dog the girl's footsteps and make her life miserable, and it was on this account that her father attempted to kill him. The United States Consul at Bagdad, Mr. Sunderberg, in a report to the State Department, describes the terrible condition of the place from a hygienic point of view. Since the May floods began to subside, a malignant fever has prevailed in the city and suburbs, more especially among the tillers of the soil down along the river. The mortality has been very high and the misery beyond conception. The immigration of Persians having just been reopened many thousand corpses will pass through Bagdad this summer for their final resting place. It is a source both of revenue and pestilence. One arriving caravan was loaded with coffins containing corpases that had been dead for months and some for years. The plague which usually follows the floods is expected next winter. The Consul adds that if he had a supply of quinine and other remedies he might save many lives, but he has no salary and his few fees will not suffice. Mr. and Mrs. Burke, well-known residents of the North Side, who are spending the summer at Waukegan, Wis., had a lively experience the other night. Awakening from slumber they discerned a masked burglar industriously searching the pocket of Burke's trousers. Burke remembered that his current cash balance was slim, and was disposed to take matters coolly. "Try the right pocket of the vest. You'll find a $10 bill there," he obligingly commanded the thief. "Thanks. Your watch now, please." demanded the burglar politely, as he took possession of the bill. "It's at your jeweler's. You'll find a 10-cent watch he lent me in the dressing-case." The robber transferred the worthless timepiece to his pocket, and proceeded to examine the brief-a-brac on the mantel. "Pretty warm to night," volunteered Burke, who did not relish the silence. "It's rather cool here," replied the gentleman burglar, as he vanished in the darkness. The men and officers of the National Guard who have just returned to their homes after being in the field for three weeks in the service of State are somewhat concerned regarding payment for their services. The men are allowed $2 a day by law, and officers same pay as officers of similar rank in the United States army. Warrants for them due them will be issued to all who are asked to make a statement, said she had nothing to say except that she had shot Foley and intended to do it. She had known Foley since last October. She is a widow. Dr. Phillips, in whose office Foley died, said he heard two shots. He stepped to his door and saw Foley at the head of the stairs. Foley waved his hand at Mrs. Hartley and ordered her back. Then he walked into the doctor's office, announced that he had been shot and became unconscious, dying within twenty minutes. Only Foley and the woman were present at the shooting. He made no auto-mortem statement, and no declines to say anything except that she fired the shot, the bullet entering near the navel and ranging downward, cutting the intestines and severing the femoral artery. The supposition is that the affair is the result of intrigue, as the deceased was an admirer of the fair sex. Prince Besolow, 26 years old, son of the late King Armh of the Vol tribe in Africa, who was converted to Christianity and fled from the dark continent to Europe to escape the wrath of his people, has been notified of his reinstatement to the throne. He has sailed from New York for England, where he will visit Queen Victoria and deliver a course of lectures before going to Africa. His father was a great trader. In 1876 he sent his son and heir to the coast to learn the English language, that he might act as interpreter with other traders. While there he boy met an American missionary and was converted to Christianity. The father died broken-hearted, and the Liberian government appointed his brother tothe throne.The boy came to this country,and after a course of private tutoring, entered Wilbraham Academy.At the beginning of his junior yearthe Colonization Society notified Prince that they had decided not to educate any more Africans,as as plan was a failure,and they advised him to return to Africa.Here refused to go,and worked his way throughthe academy by doing chores and giving lectures.In 1892 he entered Williams College.Recently he was notified that his uncle had lost his influence over the tribe and his country is impoverished by wars.His people are clamoring for his return,and he accordingly decided to go.His first purpose is to Christianize his people,and when that is accomplished he expects to return to America.to complete his education.
