- the noTelUt. wrote a personal letter to the
editor of the Gentlewoman the other day,
petulantly complaining that her name had
been omitted from the list published In his
paper o( the guesta In the royal enclosure
at-Invercauld on the occasion of the annual
Highland games, although Lady Byron, who
vent with her, was mentioned. The letter
closed thus:
"This letter Is confidential, but an ex
planation la requested, as Miss Corelll was
' with Lady Somer and Lady Kennard."
The editor replied:
"When, In 1898, Miss Corelll was asked for
some Information about her plans, she an
swered expressing her contempt for those
nobs who seek newspaper notice In any re
lation of life. Hence the omission of her
name." He then granted her' desire for
publicity, with this comment: "I personally
cannot understand the pleasure of being
within elbow distance cf royalty to an In
dividual who habitually writes with such
disrespect of royal personages. No such
titled companionship as Miss Corelll men
tions was necessary to Induce the editor to
give this explanation."

Doyle Surprlaea Government.
Sir fconan Doyle has declined to run for
Parliament tn Central Edinburgh again as
a liberal unionist. Ha says he is a radical
and on!) stood as a unionist the last time
because he favored the unionist govern
ment's war policy. This announcement was
a , surprise. It Is surmised that the gov

Conan Doyle's political opinions when if
Tve him hisJcplghthood this year. '...'! t

discourage personal activity and will

all. Hla literary faculty was extraordinary.
His gift for seeing the entire spirit of men

naturalistic writer almost a mystic.
Ha was a doctrinaire, hla mind casting

THE HAGt'E. Oct. 11. (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram ) The pub
lishing of the latest photo of Queen Wll
hclmlnn, standing by the side of her bus
band, Prince Henry, haa aroused more
than usual Interest.
In addition ,10 Its bring the flret picture
of the queen taken since hpr Illness and,
therefore, conveying to her people a mes
sage stronger than words of her condition.
It also hss given rise to the rumor that
the queen mother has brought about a
complete reconciliation between WU
hrlmlna and Prince Henry.
Hollanders recall another photo of their
quern, taken Just before her marriage,
ehowing her atanding trustingly by hlj
side. This picture and the one Just pub
lished will always recall an Intervening
period of the keenest anxiety In Holland.
It was a time when Prince Henry was al
lowed to pass through the streets un
saluted; when Hollanders thronged
blograph exhibitions so that they might
hiss his picture when It was produced;
when Emperor William was reported to
have sent a peremptory message to Prince
Henry ("advising" him to return Imme
diately to the Palace of Het Loo, where
Queen Wllhelmlna lay dangerously 111 and
whence he had departed on a bunting trip,
to the amazement of all Holland.
The apparent neglect of Queen Wll
helmlna by her husband followed reports
which received universal circulation that
the conduct of Prince Henry had perhaps
Jeopardized the prospects of an immediate
heir to the throne.
Young Hollanders of noble birth and
closely attached to the queen's household
were said to have formed a circle of knight
errants to protect Wllhelmlna from the
rudeness of her husband. One of these
knights, so It was ssld. waa wounded by
the prince In a duel provoked by an Insult
to the queen. Prince Henry had never
been popular in Holland, so these stories
were sown In fruitful soil among the
queen's subjects.
In spite of their general dislike of Prince
Henry, however. Queen Wilhelmina'a sub

brought about and that perhaps after a
tearful honeymoon she has found hap

PARIS, Oct. 11. (New York World Cable
gramSpecial Telegram.) Miss Elizabeth
Parkincon of Kansas City Is a singer who
Is bound to be heard of shortly.
She Is the pet pupil of Mine. Marchesl,
who says she has mere confidence In Miss
Parkinson than she ever had in any previous
scholar. Her voice la pronounced to bo
sweeter than Melba' and It is asserted that
she sings better.
Miss Parkinson hss signed an engage
ment with the Opera Comlque for three
years, and, despite her disagreeable experi
ence in Marseilles last November, she may
yet hope to attain success in France.
When she appeared as Sapho In Marseilles
the audience rose at her and refused to
listen, ssylng that they wanted no for
eigners. The uproar was so great that Miss
Parkinson had to retire. '
American singers do not get any show In
France. They come out with the highest
recommendations, sing -once or twice and
are heard of no more.
Miss Bessie Abbott made her debut at the
end of last year. The opera engaged her
for two years and ahe sang four or five
times In "Romeo and Juliet" and perhaps
three times In "81egfrled." Her debut
caused a great stir in the American colony
and her voice was so fine and she waa so
promising that Mr. Gallhard, the manager
of the opera, talked of mounting "Hamlet"
and "Don Juan" specially for her. But
Hamlet" waa not mounted and "Don Juan"
was played last Wednesday night without
Miss Abbott. Why? Simply because an
American rtnea not draw a French andlenea
until she Is something altogether extraor
dinary or until she comes with the prestige
of foreign success.

(Copyright, '1002, by Pres Publishing Co.)
LONDON, Oct. 11. (New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) Lord Kitch
ener haa succumbed to social influence. Hla
decline and fall ha been sudden and start
ling. He selected hi staff for South Africa
entirely on the officers' merit and dis
missed a horde of titled incompetents with
whom Lord Roberts surrounded himself.
But three months of lionizing, country house
visiting and fulsome adulation from
"smart" society at home have worked a
baneful transformation In thla erstwhile
stoic.
As commander-in-chief In India hi two
principal atdea are Lord Ingestre, the eldest
son of the earl of Shrewsbury, and Lord
Herbert, the eldest son of the earl of Pem
broke. Doubtless both are excellent young
men, but they have been aelected exclu
sively for their social standing. Nearly
all the other member of lit staff so far
announced are taken from the guards and
other crack regiments. Thla startling evi
dence of the lowering of hi standard of
men has caused great disappointment. It
dashes the widely entertained hope that If
be succeeded Lord Roberts here he might
rescue the. War office from the grip of the
social octopus which has reduced it to Us
present condition of Inanition.

made the experiment a hundred times on

tried the heart of a man who had died of
typhoid fever, after protracted agony.
The doctor had constructed an apparatus
by means of which he Introduces certain
fluid Into the heart and registers It beat
ing. In'quadrupeds the heart began to
beat after as much as 129 houn a after
death; in birds, after, thrje. day. V
"""TB" apparatus proved too small far tee"
man's heart, so Dr. Kulebko tried It upon
the hearts of children taken from their
bodies two days after death. He was
about to give up the effort to revive the
first child's heart, when he waa called away
because visitor wished to see him. When
be returned twenty minutes later he dis
covered the heart pulsated regularly. It
wa "alive" for about an hour, then ceased
to beat. The doctor's repeated experi

revive the human heart than the hearts of
animals. Even with his rude Instruments
he has succeeded In reviving heart two
day after death. When the Instruments
are Improved, the beatings certainly will
continue longer than an hour. At present
the discovery Is practically valuable only
in proving beyond doubt that attempts to
revive drowned or suffocated individuals
have not been carried on long enough and
should not be desisted from before many

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11. President Roose
velt la seeking every method by which
there may be federal action In settling the
coal strike. His cabinet advisers have
been requested to look carefully into the
laws which may have a bearing on the
subject, and see If thera Is any statute
under which he can proceed. So far noth
ing haa been found.
.There Is one ray of hope, but It I rather
falnt In view of the attitude of the coal
operators. This Is that some mutual ground
of arbitration may be found. The miners
are willing to consent to arbitration of all
questions. The operators admitted the
principle of arbitration1 to a limited extent
in offering to submit individual cases of
disputes between employers and employes
to the courts of common pleas In the dis
tricts where the disputes occur.
Seeka Middle Course.
What the president and his advisers are
trying to ascertain is whether a middle
ground of arbitration may hot be agreed
upon. This plan, even though it does not
now give much hope cf success, is the only
one In sight at present. Those who have
discussed tbo matter with the president
think that, as the situation grows more
acute, both parties in the interest of the
public welfare may be Induced to accept it
or something of a similar nature.
That the president is very much in earn

subject that continue at the White House.

The American Federation of Labor,
through Us executive today Issued an ad
dress to the public, appealing for financial
and moral aid for the striking miner and
denouncing the attitude of the owners, on
whom, the appeal says, must rest the re
sponslbl'.lty for the hardships resulting from
the coal famine.
The address has been under discussion in
Becret sessions of the council for several
days, and la aa follows:
The strike of the miners Is now In It
twenty-third week. That the strike oc
curred was entirely the fault of the presi
de nts of the coal companies; that the strike
haa continued to this da is entirely due to
the contempt which tnooe premnenis nnve
for the pet f our country and tho untold
sufferlnKS which all may endure.
No offer to settle the strike could be
fairer than that made by the miners' rep
rteentatlves at the conference with Presi
dent Koosevelt. The operator' haughty
arrogance, brutal, dominating spirit and
blasphemous assumption of divine wealth
proprietorship shocked the civilised world
and aroused the honest indignation of ail
loern of J.iatice and fair dealing.
What more could the miners do without
forfeiting the respect of thelr-'fellow men
than express their willingness to subject
all matter In dlxpute to a commission ap
pointed by President Roosevelt, and when
that was refused, to leave the entire con
troversy to Mr. J. P. Morgan, one of the
men largely interested with the operators?
There has never been a time before the
strike or since Its Inauguration when the
rr.'nera have not Deen entirely willing to
have the quentlons Involved investigated
and adjusted by any disinterested persons.
Them circumstances In connection will)
the strike are recounted, so that the peo
ple of our coun'ry may place where it prop
er I v helonaa the responsibility for all the
suffering which the people may have to
hear by reason oi tne impending coal ram
Ine. The col:l blasts of winter confront ua.
(he chattering tttclh of young and Inno
cent children, the shivering of the weak,
piorly clad and underfed men and women;
the stoppage of the wheels of industry and
nmmerre, the health undermined and the
thousands driven to untimely graves, tho
calamity threatening our entire social life
with all the .lire consequences which may
follow are all upon the head of the mine
operators.
The principles, the cause for which the
miners are bearing the greatest sacrifices
and burdens,, are as dear to the hearts of
all aa to the miners, and they must be
sustained In their righteous and holy strug
gle. They must at least have bread for
tr.emaelvea, their wives and their little ones.
In behalf of the minere, in behalf of tha
cause of freedom, Juxtloe and right, the
undersigned, representing the organized
wage camera of America, appeal to all
people to contribute generously, promptly

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Oct. 11. (Special Telegram.)
For the third time In three year th Bur
lington passenger train. No. 41, on th
Billings line, was held up just west of her
at 2 o'clock this morning.
The engineer was signalled to stop by a
swinging lantern on the slope of a hill. Aa
ne did so three men boarded the train. One
took the engineer, another the fireman, and
a third the expressmau. All were com
pelled to dismount and kept marching up
and down the prairie at the point of a shot
gun, while the remainder of the gsng, sup
posed to number five all told, went through
the express car.
' The messenger professed not to know the
combination of the safe and dynamite waa
promptly applied to it. The woodwork of
tho car, of the ccmblnatton variety, waa
blown to pieces and the safe yielded Ite
treasure, just bow much the express com
pany refuses to state, but it Is known ta
be heavy.
Money I In Cold and Sliver.
Much of lc wa In silver and gold and th
mark of the canvas bags aa they were
dragged over tho prairie to two buggies, la
which the robberj made their escape, are
plainly seen.
The robbers evidently rode to the scene
in a buggy. Another team was stolen from
a farmer near by In which to make their
escape.
The train wa immediately run back to
the city and after the wrecked car waa side
tracked was again mad up and proceeded.
The Burlington haa offered 11,000 reward
for their rapture and It will pay for either
dead or live men.
Pureult Promlaea Little.
Officer are still in pursuit of the fleeing
train robbers, but havs not yet overtaken
them, 8o many hour has now elapsed
that there Is little hope or effecting their
capture. At last report officers had found
but alight clues beyond the trail they left
In the road.. Since then .rain has set la
and these will speedily be obliterated.
There were four men In the robbery.
The three bandit first held up the train
and compelled it to run to a point where
the fourth roan waa in waiting. After the
swag was secured two went east and two
north, stealing a buggy from a nearby
farmer for the purpose of facilitating their ,
getaway. An abandoned horse and buggy
was found In the road five miles northeast
this afternoon. It answers the description
of the stolen rig.
Another clue reported late In the after
coon was that three men believed to an
swer the description given by tho fireman,
engineer1 and express messenger were re
ported at Meadows, a small station on the
Rock Island. Two came In on the passen
ger and met another man. After a 'hur
ried consultation the two started to walk
to Louisville and the other took a train.
Meadowa 1 thirty mile east of hero.
Jap Murray was arrested at Loulsvlll
by Detective Malone, but he proved an
alibi and waa discharged from custody.
Another suspect Is reported to have been
arrested at Cedar Creek.
Superintendent Butler of the express
company arrived at noon and effectively
closed the mouths of all local employe.
He declines to give the amount taken and
rumor placea it all the way from $1,400
to $50,000. The big safe's waybills are all
blown to pieces and It Is possible that the
company cannot tell how much paper
money wa taken until claim are made.
The tales related by the trainmen show
It to have been a decidedly dramatic aud
Interesting situation.
What the Fireman Saw.
Charles R. Hutchison, the fireman, say:
"The first thing we saw was someone
swinging a red lantern. When we came to
a full atop the man who had flagged us
railed to me to get off the engine. I wa
in the gangway and when he spoke I
stepped back into the cab. He then
boarded the engine and, with hi gun
pointed at Clayburg and myself, aald In
gruff tones:
" 'Com down and open tb door of th
express car tor us.'
"By this time another fellow entered
from the other side of the gangway with
a gun in his hand. Both robber were
about five feet ten inchea tall, had dark
hair and weighed, I should Judge, about ISO
pounds. The express car was the second
one from the ngine and, aa we had just'
passed over a bridge, we told the men that
w did not want to go back to the car In
the darkness, as we might get hurt by fall
ing in the opening. 'Pull ahead, then,'
said the robber. We then both got on tha
engine and pulled the express car over the
bridge.
"We then were ordered to get down again
and go to the car and tell the measeuger
who we were and ask him to open the door.
Before we reached the door the leader
fired a shot at one of the trainmen who,
when the train came to a standstill, grrf.
off with his lantern to see what was up.
Mesarnaer Would Kot Open.
"Clayburg called to the messenger to
open the door, at the aame time telling
him that It was the engineer and fireman
and that a couple of men wanted to get la
the car. The messenger did not obey.th
call and the while the robbers were hesitat
ing what to do next, a third man from the
aide of the road called out:
"Are you ready for me, BUI?",
The leader replied:
' 'Yes, come on.'
"One of the men then opened what I
supposed to be a carpet tack and took out
two stl'ks cf dynamite and placed them
In the door of the car. Then turning to
Claybura. he said:
" 'Light ibem sticks."
"The engineer made some excuse that he
had no matches and be was ordered to get
a torch from the engine and light the fuse.
Clayburg obeyed, but the fuse would not
burn. The leader turned to me and eald:
" 'Go and cut off the express car toons
