"Barry" Vm GUd to Go. "Well, am I crazy? ' After two New York physicians had for two hours ex amined Maurice Barrymore, the insane actor, at the pavilion in Bellevue hos pital, he asked them this question. He seemed half amused at the physicians' efforts to find out just in what way his mind was unhinged. "You should know hy this time whether 1 am crazy or not, taking me from intellectual stem to stern for two hours. You sure ly should know whether I'm' sane or noLV The doctors made no direct re ply. They found him verging on pa resis and decided he had best be sent to a private sanitarium in Astoria. "You're going away," they said to the actor. "All right," he replied; -I'll be flail to go." Copeultaccu .labile. Copenhagen has just celebrated a sort of jubilee, the 700th anniversary of the death of her founder. Bishop Absalon. Where 700 years 'ago there only existed some poor, fishermen's huts, the Danish capital at that time, being Rcskilde, there is now situated. a modem capital city, with about 500 in habitants. During many? centuries Copenhagen increased slowly, and 100 j cars ago it had only 100,000 inhabit ants; but the growth of the last thirty years has beeu enormous. A. great monument in copper of Absalon, raised by public subscription, and placed in front of the new town hall, has Leen unveiled. , Julian Ralph's Theory. T Hun Ralph explains the philoso phy of the latest gorgeous pageant in Loudon hy remarking that the English people are so suffocated and chilled by fogs and depressing climatic condi tions that they hunger for relief In -olor and merriment. That is why they have the most gorgeous army in Europe; that is why they drink more than any two nations on earth; that is why they wear more red on the streets and keep up their medieval pageants longer thin their neighbors, and are the greatest patrons of the theater, the most ardent lovers of pantomime and ballet on earth. A 94,000 Walnut Tree. A mammoth black walnut tree on the farm of E. P. Gaus, in Williams coun ty, Ohio, has Just been sold for S4.000. Several lumber dealers have examined : chips from this tree, and all have de clared it to be the finest specimen of that kind of wood they ever saw. The tree was eight feet in diameter, forty feet above the stump and extended seventy-three feet from the butt to the first limb. FROM DEATH'S DOOR. . Hillsdale, 111., April 29th. Much In terest has been aroused here over the case of William Marks, who has been in a dying condition for several months with an apparently incurable Kidney Disease. The leading physicians of this place had pronounced his case a hopeless one, ami others from Port Byron, Geneseo, and Davenport, la., had at tended him, and in a consultation de ckled that he cpuld not live. Jn desperation, his nephew inquired of Mr. 1... F. Giles, a local druggist, as to a last resort. Mr. Giles suggested podd's Kidney Pills, a remedy which had just been introduced here. The results were marveloua. Mr. Marks Immediately began to improve, and within a few weeks was able to be tip and about, completely cured. His cure js the talk of the neighbor hood, and -is considered nothing short of a miracle. There appears to be no doubt that this new remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills, will cure any case of Kidney Disease, for the more malignant forms, such as Bright's Disease, Diabetes, and Drop sy, yield readily to its remarkable in fluence. These forms of Chronic Kid ney Disease have hitherto been consid ered incurable, and have baffled all medical skill, and yet. this new rem edy has cured every single case In which it has been used, in this neigh borhood. TThe doctors themselves, arc amazed at the wonderful work Dodd's Kidney Pills are accomplishing in Rock Island. County. . " fc. The Touring President. After April 29, on which date Presi dent McKinley will leave Washington for the Pacific slope, he will spend very little time in the capital till next "fall.

The most disastrous fire in the history of this city began yesterday shortly after noon, in a small factory, started by a defective 'wire, .according to the best belief, and burned for nearly ten hooray, , In that time property damage estimated from $10,000,000 to 115,000, CTfTwas'caused. '""" ' U According to the city map 130 blocks were -burned, many t of .them in the heart of the busmen and resi dence section, where the estimate of houses to the block is ten. Many of the finest public and private build ings rwere destroyed, including hotels, theater; churches and residences. The casualties cannot be accurately estimated tonight. That there were several seems to be well authenticated. Among them was that of Fire Chief Haney, who sustained a bad fall. The mayor ordered all saloons closed and has Impressed help to clear the wreckage. The mayor stated that he estimated. the loss at $15,000,000 and that 10,000 tc 15000 people were home less. Along the entire length of Beaver street, from Davis street to the creek on Liberty street, all buildings have been destroyed. This is fourteen sol id blocks of residences. For the same distance Ashley and Church streets have both been completely blot ted oat When the fire, reached Bridge street in its eastward course it enveloped In flames an area three blocks wide, taking in Duval, Monroe and the north side of Adams 'street, burning the entire section of the city and running fourteen blocks to the Duval street bridge. How much further in that direction the city is burned it is impossible to learn, the street being impassable, but It is feared that St. Luke's hospi tal was burned and it is said that the Presbyterian church in Ea3t Jackson ville Is ablaze. If this is correct, the fire must have extended five blocks further east The Are, which broke out at 2:45 o'clock this afternoon, has covered, as far as is definitely known, a distance of two and a half miles by half a mile wide. When the fire reached Julia street it was a roaring conflagration and there was no prospect of it being put under control. The local military com panies were called out to keep the crowds back and the fire department began to use dynamite to blow up houses a block from the fire hoping thus to prevent the fire from spread ing. So fierce was the blaze, however, and so strong had become the wind, that millions of sparks and flying, burning shingles spread over five or six blocks, setting the roofs of the houses on fire in advance of the de partment ' It is impossible at this hour to as certain the losses, but it is, estimated by insurance agents tthat it .will be between 18,000,000 and 19,000,000. Six live are reported lost in the conflagra tion. The mayor has called a meeting of the city council for tomorrow to consider ways and means of reliev ing the cufferers. Wall Kaowa Farmer Ktled.

Midori Ko matz, secretary of the Chinese lega tion at Washington, in an interview today with an Associated Press re porter, made an interesting statement of the financial situation of Japan. He said: "A geod.-deal. comment has been provoked about the financial condi tions in Japan by the publication of a very elaborate report sent to the Uni ted States by Consul General Bellows, and it is gratifying to ma to see the American public taking so much inter est in my country. While having no hesitancy in endorsing the statement contained in the consular report as generally correct, everything has two sides and it is a disagreeable thing to have one's worst part exposed, the better one being left out. "I do not deny that our financial sit uation today is anything hut satisfac tory. It is true that the government has deferred all such undertakings as would Involve new loans. It is true that a few local banks have been compelled to suspend payment and stringency is prevailing in the money market. It is also true that our im ports have increased tremendously since the inflow of the Chinese indem nity. The total value of our Imports, which was 138.700.000 yen ($69,350,000) in round numbers in 1895, the year the peace treaty, was concluded, increased to 324,700,000 yen in 1858, while the value of exports was 118.000,000 yen and 166,200,000 yen In thi respective years. "You will be greatly mistaken, how ever, if you Bhould attribute all this to the improvident waste of money or unproductive and useless enter prises. Although a large portion of the Chinese indemntiy has been used for the redemption of war expenses and military and naval expansion, yet the estimate of iron foundries, the extraordinary reserve fund and the capital of local industrial banks have drawn no small shares from it. Rail ways, telegraph, telephone and. postal service have made great strides in tie last few years and an enormous amount of money, has been absorbed in their improvement and extension. You will observe at this moment twelve twin screw steamers of over 6,000 tons each, all newly built, ply ing between Yokohama and Europe, while three great merchaqt vessels, recently constructed in England, are running between Hong Kong and San Francisco, under the managemet of a Japanese company, and more than hirteen steamers from 3.00Q to 5,000 tons, are being employed oq lines to Bombay, Australia, yiadiYostock, etc. "Notwithstanding this, our public debt, as it now stands, does not amount to more than 437 900,000 yen (flS.950.000). The foundation of our financial arrangement is too firmly es tablished to be affected by any tran sient depression, any more than the bottom of a river is apt to be shaken by he feeble waves caused by a passing wind. "There is no danger, n my opinion, (hat the present situation will result in any serious crisis. On the contrary it will produce, I am quite confident, a beneficial effect upon the national progress by affording the people a lesson that 50 good time3 should be abused by luxury or extravagance in any form." Use of Wireless Telegrapky. WASHINGTON, D. 0., May 3. A demonstration of the practical usages pf wireless telegraph which occurred in Belgium has been reported to the state department in the communica tion from Consul General Guenther at Frankfort, Germany. A captain of a chanel mail steamer, which was fully equipepd with wireless telegraphic ap paratus, reported that on his last trip in he received a wireless message from a French lightship, anchored some twenty-five miles from Dunkirk on the Belgian coast, stating that the warn ing light could not shine again until aid was received from shore.

Regarding the resources of China the report was very voluminous. It was practically a repetition of Jamesson's well known pamphlet on the subject. Sir Robert Hart offered suggestions similar to those already credited to him and cable to the Associated Press. It is asserted that the reve nues from all available resources will not allow China to pay the indemnity unless assistance is rendered. The next meeting will be held next Tuesday. The subject of Count von Waldereee's letter will then be taken up and a reply to it will be drafted. The ministers assert that they know what they want, without being told. Irhey particularly object to any of the legation guards being under any au thority except that of the ministers themselves. NEBRASKA TENSION f RAIDS.

It is be lieved here that the hitch which is said to have arisen at Pekin over the proposition to increase the Chinese customs duties to meet the indemnities demanded by the foreign powers is caused by the uroaching by Mr. Rock hill of bis plan for the abolition of the likin duties as a condition for his acquiescence in the customs in crease. The United States govern ment has in the past admitted a read iness to permit the Chinese to increase custom rates providing there was no discrimination between the powers. Minister Wu says that the present 5 per cent rate is totally Inadequate to 'provide a sinking fund for a new loan. COMING HOME Of TROOrS Maey of tke Volunteer Troops to Retara Before tke Sad of May.

The incomiug and out going governors met in the executive office. Immediately, and without any formality, Governor Dietrich signed his name to the resignation prepared in his office. This document was then taken across the hall to the sec retory of state and was accepted by that official. Mr. Savage was then told of the acceptance. He walked into the private office of the gover discharge of his duties as the" chief discharge of his duteis a3 the chief executive of the state. Governor Savage's first official act was the signing of the senatorial com mission for Senator Dietrich. This was done with the pen used by the former governor in writing his veto messages and the pen was formally presented to Senator Dietrich after the commission had been signed. Senator Dietrich about June 1 will go to Washington and will probably make his headquarters there during the summer. "I will remove no office holder, man, woman or child, except for cause," said Governor Savage when questioned concerning the policy he would pur sue. All appointees of my predeces sor will be allowed to hold their of fices so long as they do their dtuy I intend to watch all of them, but as long as every one satisfactorily fills his place there will be no trouble." The present clerical force in the governor's office will continue to serve under Governor Savage. Mr. H. C. Lindsay will remain, at least for a month, as the governor's private sec retary, and R. J.
