A Recunderabad correspondent says that Kawab Farldom Jung's party, which in cludes Major General and Mrs. Hamilton nd Mrs. Stephens at hla excellency, tha minister's own preserves bagged four tigers in six days. The first fell at tha Kawab's gun and tha other three all came out In one beat, the general bringing down tha first, Mrs. Hamilton tha second and Mrs. Stephens the third. An interesting story Is being told of a peculiar wrestling match between a tehsil dar and a panther in Banda district. The tehslldar conoemed, one Syed Mahomed Hamld of Badosa had received newa of a panther being In tha vlainlty, and pro ceeded to tha river brink where tha beast had taken refuge. In a hole. On the hunter inspecting tha cave part of tha panther which ha asumed to be its head was visi ble and ha fired. While tha tehslldar was waiting with the other barrel the beast suddenly rushed from another outlet and he fired hitting It In the lower Jaw. In a second it had attacked the attendant who was carrying the tchslldar's revolver and knife. The tehslldar therupon flung him self upon the panther and by sheer strength endeavored ' to tear the beaat away. The animal forced Itself clear, retired to a short distance, and then again fiercely sprang at Test Clothes The Only Way to Get Good Clothes By A. Frank Taylor.

Through railway connection with the re mainder of India Is urgently demanded by a considerable section of public domain in Ceylon. Strategical and commercial con siderations lend their support, but tha most cogent argument at present is the need for coolie labor in tha Cingalese plantations. Tha Indian, coolie has a deeply rooted aversion, partly religious, from crossing the aea and the flow of labor la thereby materially Impeded. Tet according to Tha Times of Ceylon, the supply of coolies de termines tha prosperity of Ceylon. Says that paperi "Sir West Rldgeway years ago pointed It out aa hla view that railway connection be tween Ceylon and India waa the only sat isfactory solution of tha local labor ques tion in which lurked. In his opinion, the chief danger to tha tea Industry. Few in Ceylon thought of rubber then, and yet today we see It precipitating tha labor dif ficulty which Sir West Rldgeway did not consider pressing, aa he relegated the con necting of the India and tha Ceylon rail way to the dim future." Two remarkable stories come from the Eastern Bengal railway, amongst the em ployee of which tha "Shaker" missionaries, who have recently been startling, religious circles in Calcutta were particularly active. Amongst the earlier of thlr converts were two Europeans, one a drlvw. and tha other a locomotive department official. Not long ago the driver was concerned In a bad rail way accident, and In giving bis evidence before the committee of Inquiry, he spoke falsely. He was, however, believed and the committee on his evidence punished an In dian cabin assistant and reduced hla monthly salary. This Is where the Shakers came Into the affair. In one of the paroxysms peculiar to that people tha man admitted his fault before the brethren in "meeting." He has confessed hla error to the railway authorities, who have reopened the matter In connection with which the cabin man wag punished nine months ago. Conscience Waa Disturbed. In the second case the locomotive official. It appears, deserted at Wellington from tha British army twenty-eight years ago. Joined the railway, was never detected and rose to a comfortable position. Then he Joined the Shakers. The result of this con version has been that he has sent $S0 to the commander-in-chief (the amount his discharge would havecost If he had pur chased it at the time of his desertion), ob tained alx months' leave of absence and proceeded to Wellington to give himself up to the military authorities. Those Ishmaela of the frontier, the Zakka Khels, are causing no end of trouble. The ameer packed their deputa tion off with a vlgoroua snub, and even their fellow Afridls are reported as sick of their turbulence. A band of these in- i corrigible thieves swooped down by night on a police force of three constablea at Jangll BurJ, between Peshawur and Badhber, the scene of the recent outrage of the tribesman. At 11 p. m., while one of the constables was absent, the post was surrounded by dacolts, who got Into the poet by means of a ladder which they had brought with them. A fight ensued. In tha course of which the two constables re ceived a wound In the head from a bayo net. The decoita succeeded in a-ettlnar iw with the three government rifles and bayo nets belonging to the police and so far they have not been traced. A Hindu hotel has Just been opened In Calcutta under tha name of the "Grand Indian Lodge." The hotel Is run on tem perance principles. No Intoxicating liquors can be found on tha premises. No food forbidden by tha Hindu religion will ba allowed, while to make sure of no viola tions of casta, all of tha cooking will be done by Brahmins only. Excellent disci pline Is to ba maintained In tha hostelry. tne singing or Improper songs Is forbid den, as is also spitting on furniture and bedding.

FIGHT FOR AR0YAL CHILD Title of nvmarbable Book Detailing Life of Countess Montisraoeo of Saxony. BERLIN, June I. (Special.) "The Fight for a Royal Child" la the title of a remark able book which la about to ba published In Dresden and which gives Intimate details of the life and the charaoter of the Countess Montlgnoso, the divorced wife of the king of Saxony, who Is living In exile at Florence. Tha book la written in the form of a dairy kept by a certain Frau Ida Kremer, who waa despatched to Florence last autumn by the FJaxon court to remain four weeks with the countess and her daughter, the baby Princess Monica Pla, and then bring the child back to Dresden, The child's mother having refused to part with her, so 'soon Frau Kremer continued a member of the household of the countess as governess, until December, and during that time waa tha recipient of many of her confidences. Frau Kremer depicts the countesa as an hysterical, whimsical person without any fixity of purpose as in the case of her flight with the Belgian tutor, Olron, from tha Saxon court in 1903 wholly by tha Im pulse of tha moment. Tha baby princess Is described aa an lnoorrlglble child "who has to be tickled to aleep and Who has a strange passion for the smell of ben line." Tha countess's love for her child Is de clared to ba factitious. The countess con tinues to wear her wedding ring and re fers to the king of Saxony as her husband. Sha constantly expresses confidence that a reconciliation will yet come and told Frau Kremer repeatedly that If aha oould only get tha king alone away from his In triguing entourage she would know how to win him back. Sha asked the govern see "soma day when aha waa back in Dres den with tha child to contrive to get tha king alone In the park, when the counteaa would steal op and surprise him and hold a conversation with him which would boob right matters. Frau Kremer tells of seeing , on tha countess's bed-room table what appeared at first to be a copy of the Bible, but which proved to be a copy of Goethe's "Faust" The countess -onfeseed that alia had sewn "Faust" in a Bible cover to avoid ennui at mass during her exile with the old oountesa at Ronno, Austria, aftsr the Dresden escapade, her parents having farmed her out to the countess In tha hope that "castlgnatlon and partial starvation would drive the devil out of her aouL" Tha diarist reports that tha coontesa mast have felt at one tlma a great affection for Giron, but that It had beooma titter aversion and finally lndlfferenoa. Sha read a newspaper account of hla engagement but it did not Interest her. Tha conaludlug portion of tha book is devoted to a graphlo description, of the burglar alarm at tha villa outside of Flor ence, where tha oounteos rseldea. Frau Kremer waa alarmed one night by revolver ahota and a fw minutes later tha countess, with a couple of sen ants, rushed Into tha of tha governess announcing that burglars had been trying to break In. Tha countess says that aha later convinced herself that tha burglar Incident waa ar ranged by the countess for the purpose of Inducing tha governess to believe and re port to the Saxon court that tha Italian rural districts were not a safe place for tha Countess and Princess Monica to live. SCOTLAND GROWING LIBERAL Tesleacf la Thla Direction Kevealed In Mora Waya Than On t Lata. GLASGOW, June 1. (Special.) That the tendency In Scotland Is In the direction of greater liberalism In more ways than one can be Judged by the fact that the newly constituted board of trustees for the na tional galleries of Scotland have Inaugur ated their establishment with a decision to open the national gallery and the natlonl portrait gallery on Sunday afternoons. The announcement will be received with satis faction by a large section of the community, on tha other hand those who hold that en croachment on Sundays of Scotland has al ready gone far enough will perhapa have something to Bay on that question. Tha Museum of Science and Art In Edinburgh has now been open on Sundays for aome half a dosen yeara, and has been largely attended; but hitherto Edinburgh has been behind other cities In opening her art gal leries every dsy of the week. The prime mover among tha members of tha board of trustees In favor of Sunday opening has been Sir Thomas Gibson Carmlchael, the chairman. He had, It la understood, ob tained tha consent of practically tha whole board to the new departure and the matter has apparently been decided at last unless a storm of protests from Sabbatarians ahould succeed In overturning things. It was a unanimous decision tnougn it is un derstood that there was nothing like a full attendance of tha members. For those who will put forward the Sunday labor argu ment it is announced that Bunday duty will ba entirely voluntary en the part of the regular staff of attendants. Commis sionaires alike wll be paid for tha extra work. The houre will ba from 1 to S. The Glasgow Herald reviewing the James town exposition finds fault because of the fact that Raleigh waa honored, the legisla ture of North Carolina in 1702 conferring that name upon the capital city of the state, but Captain John Smith appears to have been overlooked when honors were passed around. Says tha Herald editorially: "There are several Bmithvllles In Amer ica, but none of them Is In Virginia. Amer icans are not so squeamish about euphony but that the legislature of Virginia might with far better reason have followed the example of their southern" neighbors and renamed their capital after the man to whose heroic genius it waa owing that thej expedition of 1607 did not share the fate of all of Its predecessors. Raleigh, the Moses of North American colonlxatlon, never even attained the Plsgah; the part of Joshua was played to the finish by Cap tain John Smith. How filled with the true spirit of knight-errantry ha threw himself Into- all the glorious but forlorn hopes of Europe figuring for Holland against Spain, for Hungary against the Mussulman may be read In the numerous lives of this greatest of preux chevaliers whose Impris onments, escapes and wanderings leave fic tion reeling in tha rear. He waa barely 30 when he took service under tha weak and peculating Wlngfleld, whom he was not long In superseding as governor of Vir ginia. The brief but brilliant remainder of hla history forma the first andmoat splen did page of American history. Romance has linked his nama with his fair res cuer, tha Princess Pocahontas, whose mar riage to tha worthy but sententious Rolfa was one of those tragical, anti-climaxes where tha Ironical fae delights to mar tha Ideal sequence of events. But to the stu dent of history Captain John Smith la no mar paladin ot romance, but the brave and far-sighted statesman ho rendered progress possible by conciliating native ani mosity and hammered tha wretched ma terial of adventurers and cut-throats at hla dlspoaal Into a weapon destined' to repel the Intrusive ambition of France and tha punitive might of Britain." ARTS DISPLAY REMARKABLE Of All Exhibits la Connection with Irish Exhibition It Stands rirst. DUBLIN, June L (Special.) Of all the dlaplays 4n connection with the Irish Inter- national exhibition none can be said to be more praiseworthy than Is tha fine arts section, whloh la, practically speaking. complete. Indeed, the success of this de partment is likely to be the most remark able achievement of tha entire exhibition. The standard which Mr. Temple, tha well known organiser of so many Guildhall exhibitions, set before hltn was nothing leas than that the finest palntera of the I last fifty-two years should be represented each by a few canvasses, perhaps by one only, but that such work should be repre sentative and the best that is available for public exhibition. The response to his appeal haa been universal and immediate. No Bchool of the last half century is here unrepresented and It is well worth the while of art lovers all over the world to pay a visit to Ireland, if for no other reason than for the purpoae of seeing this exquisitely chosen gallery of English and foreign art. It Is easy to sea that no auch opportunity Is likely to recur, some of the paintings being, indeed, on the eve of be ing shut up forever In public galleries, and not one-tenth of the remainder are ever likely again to ba hung In a way that every school from a pra-Raphaellte brotherhood to the lateat art work in Paris or Venice today la easily compared within the limits of a few rooms. The first gallery Is that of British draw. Ing rooms and water colors. Most attention will probably be paid to the famoua olive tree, which Lelghton once spent a week in drawing at Capri. It will be within the memory of many that there had been for some years a rumor that thla picture, but for tha purpose of reproduction, had been Irretrievably mislaid or stolen, and ' waa pleaaant to And It hung again, no whit the worae for whatever misadventures it may have had.. Next to It are the large draw ings made by Burne-Jonea for the "Ho maunt of the Roae," supported by half a dosen other carefully selected chalks by the same artist. A series of four drawings by Miss Fortescue Brickdale to Illustrate Tennyeon'a "Palace of Art" attract atten tion, and, in fact, hold their own beside such wall known studies aa Aubrey Beards. ley'B "Abbe Paupeluche," hla "Rejane" or the atrange but fascinating "Vulpone." Joseph Pennon Is here also and Sir Charles Holroyd In a remarkable sketch of a man, which recalls forcibly ' the work of "Legi-os;" Strang follows with a good san guine blade and white study of a woman, and C H. Shannon sends half a dosen charactortatie worka. There are onlr a few old paintings in tha room, notably Waterhouae'a "Marlame" aid a few archi tectural deaigne, but tha drawings provide tha real Interest and even the water colors do not come Into rivalry. In the next room foreign art Is hung. Early Tlssots strike here aa atrange a note to those who know only his later work and the beautiful little early MlllaU tn tha next gallery.

LOW WATER CAUSES MOT EXPLOSIONS Both Engineer and Firemen Killed aa A Rale Warn the Boiler Ex plodes Skyrooarot-llko Flight of n Boiler. The blowing up of a railroad locomotive boiler la the mishap most feared by en gineers and firemen," said an engineer. "It Is seldom that any one riding on an engine whose boiler lets loose ever gets away alive. "The average person locking at a big en gine running along under full pressure can have no Idea ot the tremendous power that la bottled up In the big Iron can. Just con sider the length and width of one of these boilers, and then remember that every sin gle square inch of all the surface la with standing a pressure of 20 and sometimes 240 pounds. There Is no indication of the force fastened up In one of these travelling volcanoes until trouble develops and then the stunts that boiler will do are almost un believable. "Just the other day there waa a bad ex plosion on one of the mountain divisions of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad down In West Virginia. A big freight engine, whose boiler was so wide and high that It would barely clear the top and aides of the tun nels, suddenly let go aa the engineer was pulling Into a sidetrack. "With a crash the boiler tore away from the engine frame, scattering the running gear and the tender. Jumping over a freight car standing near by. It shot a hun dred feet away from the track. As soon as it struck the ground It aav" another leap that took It a hundred and fifty feet further toward a farmhouse, and once more coming back to earth, right In front of the house, made still a third bound, went clear over the house and finally landed In the orchard, a short distance from the farmhouse and fully BOO feet from the engine, having acted for all the world Just like a skyrocket that haa accidentally boen touched off before being properly pointed. Both the engineer and firemen were Instantly killed.' Enainemen Both Escaped. "Another remarkable boiler explosion took place sometime ago on the New HBven road. One of the largest of the freight englnea waa running along under full head way when the boiler, without a moment a warning, wrenched Itself from the frame work. Jumped straight up In the air and then sailed over into a nearby field. The curious part of thla accident .was that the engineer and fireman were not killed, not even hurt. '"la the cause of a boiler oinlnni.m Is shortage of water. Bather the engineer does not know the water la low or the in jectors won't work. And It isn't as slmnle a matter to keep a full supply of water In a boiler as one might think. "It Is when a lot of cold water Is sent Into a very hot boiler in which the water la allowed to run low that the trouble comes. The sudden and terrific pressure Is more than steel plates will stand. "Not long ago I saw a green engineer playing with certain death simply because he dtd not know how to handle the water. He had run the engine onto a sidetrack and was trying to get the injectors to work. Madder than a hornet, tha new engineer used every cuss word he was acquainted with because the injector wouldn't send a drop of water into the boiler. "The water in the boiler by thla time had become very low, and the metal kept get- j ting hotter and hotter until the lower part of the firebox was cherry red. And that fellow waa trying with all his might to get water Into that boiler. "Getting down from my engine, I ran over anda told him to quit fooling with the Injector and to drop hla fire Juat aa quick aa he could, which waa the only thing to prevent a bad explosion. This he did, and the danger waa Boon past, but he certainly burned her good. "Now that engineer didn't know it, but he was In the same position as a man trying to sea how hard he can hit a thousand pounds of dynamite with a sledgehammer and wondering why It won't go off. The conditions were auch that the moment he got a stream of cold water started the 1 boiler would have gone up into the air ; ke a balloon. That engineer really didn't ! know how much he had to be thankful J for because the Injectora consistently re fused to work. Boilers Well Tested. "It used to happen once in a while in the old daya that a boiler blew up on account of being worn out or defective, but this does not happen often In these times. The boilers nowadaya are so thoroughly tested and so well and strongly made that nine times out of ten the cause of explosion will be found to be low water. "There waa a boiler explosion some years ago that was right up to the company. The boiler of an engine on a road running Into Indianapolis had been condemned for sometime, but there was such a shortago of power that the company took the chance of using the engine until a letup In the trafflo would give it an opportunity to lay the engine up for repalra. "The engine didn't wait for that time to come, but let loose one night about twenty mllea fropl Indianapolis and scattered the played out boiler over all the Immediate vicinity, incidentally distributing the en gineer and fireman over about the same area. "No sooner did word reach headquarters of the explosion than a large force of men waa aent to tha acene before daybreak; and for perfectly obvious reasons, taking sledgehammers they pounded every bit of the old boiler that could be located into such a condition that no one could ever tell whether there had ever been anything defective about It or not. "But you may depend upon It when the company Is In the right every effort is made to preserve evidence that th ( plosion was brought about through the fault of the engineer. Sometime ago an engine blew up on one of the, roads running into Baltimore and both the engineer and fireman were killed. The engine, or what waa left of It, was placed on a sidetrack by the company for future reference. The fault was clearly with the engineer, for the reason that the crown sheet waa badly burned and tha boiler had given away In that pot. "There is not the slightest truth In the statement that an engine about to blow I up will make some aort of noise. It neVer I give, warning, nut almply lets go, and lucky la the man who seea one go up and Uvea to tell about It." ONLY FOUR GIRLS HOLD OUT All bat That amber of Telephone Operatives Bare Their Arms to Vaccination. .

Kelson Fonnd Near Oa-alalla Ravinar nnd is Brought to Omaha. Mystery surrounds the v.e of A. Nelson of Florence, who left Omaha a week ago Thursday with a railroad construction gang bound for Wyoming. Sunday morn ing he was found without hat, coat, ahoes, shirt or money, lying beside the railroad track eight miles west of Ogalulla, helpless and hopelessly Insane. He was brought back to Omaha by Sheriff McDonald Fri day evening and placed In the county Jail and afterward transferred to the County hospital. Owing to his condition It Is Impossible to get a coherent statement of what hap pened from him. On his way back with the sheriff he became violent, and although hla injuries prevent him from standing, l,e fought and viciously attempted to bite those who were near him. It Is thought he may have fallen from the train, but no explanation can be made of the absence of his clothing and money. He had $4 when he left here and it is missing. One theory is he waa robbed and thrown from the cars. Several years ago he waa kicked on the head by a horse and since then he has been subject to fits, during which, he Is more or less irresponsible. An operation was performed on him, but It was not en. tlrely successful. His parents, who live in Florence, have taken charge ot the case. GEORGE E.

Callahan, charged with disturbing graves at Prospeot Hill cemetery, will net come up for trial until Judge C. A. Baldwin, who is out of the city, can return. Judge Baldwin Is inter ested in the cemetery association and has an explanation for the aeemlng desecration and he wants to go on the stand in tha case. Judge Baldwin says the present site of the cemetery was an old Indian burying ground and was later used by early pio neers who tracked across the plains over the old Military road. Many of these pio neers who died on the way westward, he Bays, were burled on the cemetery site, long before the present cemetery waa laid out. The graves were not marked and con sequently there Is no way to tell where the bones are resting. It was these old graves that were disturbed, according to Judge Baldwin. County Attorney English has promised not to call the case up for trial uncll he returns to Omaha. If you have anything to trade advertise It In the For Exchange columns of The Bea Want Ad page.
