In her address to tho premier, Mrs.

"Tho cntlro cortego halted. A pollco

the Ilttlo girl, who ran screaming into
a kitchen-garden. A body of police
surrounded tho garden and sho was
put under arroat. Her mother, re

der armed guard for 12 versts to the
chief of pollco Btutlon of tho dis

MANIAC GUIDES SHIP TO RUIN

MANY persons stop to examine

greon bronzo trophy guns at the foot
of tho stairway nt tho north entrance

is not surprising, according to one's
caste of thought, how many specta

unusual featuro of tho gun on the
east side of tho entrance the gun
which is tho younger and the moro
ornate of tho pair.
The cast gun bears among various
inscriptions the words Lo Faroucho,
which may bo translated "Tho
Fierce." "The Savage," or "Tho
Wild." On tho cascabol or the base
of the breech of this venerable
smooth-bore muzzlo-Ionding cannon,
cast by Jean Maritz at Douy, Franco,
In July, 1748, is tho face of an angry
Hon with the butt of a thorned stake
or war club protruding from its

Some Kind of a Job
London wus in such a fluid stato that
Mahnn didn't know of any avnllablo
man who would or could maintain tho
truo .loffersonlan principles of tbn
fathers as mayor except himself.
"This being thus," suggested a
friend, "why not keep on with tho

It listened good to yMnhan. Ho
looked up the law and found that
while it was forbidden to hold two
federal jobs at , tho sumo Umo, no
body was enjoined against mixing
federal, state and local ojllces to Bult,
provided ho could get them. So Ma
ban stuck.

ing, who is tho custodian of this and

face is thero.
Thousands of tourists gaze on the
art handles of tho gun. Thoy are
bronzo dolphins. Tho tourists puzzle
over or study tho coat-of-arms of
France, the crown of Franco, tho bat
tle emblems, sabers, cannon, drums,
flags and trumpets, the clrclo of
fleur-de-lis of tho houso of Bourbon
and tho face of Pallas surrounded by
tho rays of a blazing sun. But few
of the pilgrims ever stoop to study
the remarkablo face and club at tho
butt of tho historic gun, which, by
tho way, though French, was taken
by Americans from one of tho forts,
either tho Morro or Sacopa, at the
mouth of Santiago harbor in 1898 and
mounted in Washington in tho spring
of 1899.
It waB worthless and would cause
tho owner trouble If ho attempted to
exchange it. All doubts as to tho
value of tho bill were laid at rest
when Joseph B. Ralph, director of the
bureau of engraving nnd printing,
stated that it was worth $50 and ex
plained how tho note originated.
Just two of these bills arc in circu

tho owner, of ono a wealthy mine
owner of Colorado, who brought his
collection of "froak" money to an ex
hibit held recently in Detroit. Both
bills were printed in tho bureau of
engraving and printing.
"Tho error can bo accounted for,"
said Director Ralph, "in only one
way. Tho upper end of the plato
prints $100 bills while tho lower end
pttnts $50 bills. The paper is then
turned ovor and another impression
Is taken for tho 'other sldo. In somo
manner thb plato was turnod tho

New Yorker Confident of Ability to
Graft Limbs of Dead on
Bodies of Living.
Dr. A. L. Soresl, a New York Bur
geon, who astounded the world at the
recent medical congress In London
by stating that be would soon be ablo
to graft the limbs of the dead upon
tho bodies of the living, will resume
his experiments at his New York
laboratories.
"So far I have only taken the limbs
of dogs and grafted them on other
dogs," said he. "The work is so new
that I have to make the instruments
to use, and that takes time and pa
tience. "Tho dogs on which I havo experi
mented are today just as sound us
though they had been born with tho
limbs grafted on them. When work
ing upon thd dogs I take ono that has
just died and immediately graft bis
limb to that of a living animal. But
with human subjects that question of
time is the most serious." '
