J| Biographical Sketch of
jg Teacher of
"I meant to kill the President. I am
-b disciple of Emma Goldman.
"I have heard Emma Goldman lecture
and have read her writings. I
have done my duty."?From statement
made by Czolgosz to the Buffalo
police.
Emma Goldman first came into
nrnminpnpo in New York City during
the bread riots of the spring and summer
of 18'J3 growing out of the cloakmakers'
strike.
Since then she has been the most
Teckless of all the incendiary speechmakers
in the ranks of the Anarchists
in this country. The character
of the woman and her doctrines are
best shown by her speeches. In these
she has repeatedly said:
' "I do not believe in God."
"When I die I would rather go to
tell than to heaven. All tyrants go
to heaven."
, "I am against all laws."
Emma Goldman spent ten months
Jn the penitentiary on Blackwell's Island
for a speech she made in Union
Square on August 21, 1393, during the
bread riots. She was convicted "of inciting
to riot.
It was her lover, Henry Berkman,

oegie mills. After her fashion of marriage
she hail been his wife and publicly
gloried in Berliman's act, which

$he Inspired. The woman's strange
Dower has made her the high priestess
of the most rabid and fanatical of the
{Anarchists.
On the East Side she is known as the
^Little Firebrand." Her views are extreme
and revolutionary even for the
laverage run of Anarchists.
Emma Goldman is thirty-three years
Old. short, pudgy of figure, hard
leatured and frowsy in appearance.
Her hair is light brown and her eyes
ibluish gray. Her chin shows determination.
She is a remarkably fluent talker,
land never fails to excite her Anarchist
hearers to a high pitch. She speaks
Kussian, German. English and French
and writes Spanish and Italian. She
iwas born in Russia and educated in
(Germany. She was married when she
iWas seventeen, and according to report
has had several husbands since;

erly worked in a sweat-shop and is
said to have been a trained nurse.
Mrs. Schwab, widow of Justus
Schwab, runs the little basement barroom
at 50 First street, New York,
.where Emma Goldman makes her
headquarters. The saloon is a low
Ceiled, smoky, dirty room, with a short
ibar extending lengthwise in the front.
Over Mrs. Schwab's head hangs a

loned flintlock pistol, the barrel wound
.with copper wire, swinging beneatb
It. On the wall opposite her is a
[blackboard with Anarchistic placards
and notices on it.
Beyond the bar are two or three
round tables and a beer stained piano.
DThen comes another room, with a long
table lined with chairs. There the
'Anarchists who make Schwab's saloon

Strange Custom Followed by the Burmese
In a recent number of the Journal tl
of the Anthropological Institute Sha- U
way Yeo contributes an interesting S
note on the odd custom among the
Burmese of wearing engraved piece3
of metal or stone under the skin. These c
amulets are either made of gold, silver
or lead, and are engraved with curious
animal devices, usually pigs. An in- r
cision is made in the skin and the ?
piece of metal or stone is forced under b
it. Many natives have long rows of ,'S
them over the chest, showing in little
knots through the skin. When they
get into English prisons the jailer haa
them cut out, lest they bribe the turn- 1
key with them. The usual result of j(

the following dispatch from
ieneral Kitchoner at Pretoria:

in a smart engagement, In which

General Kitchener also reported
bat the British captured by the Boers
i the ambush near scneepers ives
ave beeD released, and that the Britsh
casualties in the recent Vlakfon?in
engagement, when the Boers capared
a company of mounted infantry
nd two guns, were one officer and
ve men killed, twenty-three men
founded, and six officers and 109
len taken prisoners. General Kitchner
announced that these prisoners
ave been released.
The Commander-in-Chief in South
Africa further reported the capture
f two commandoes, one consisting of
fty-five men under Commandant
Hochs, and the other consisting of
fty-four men, including P. J. Botha,
rho were taken with forty-eight wagns
and their belongings.
General Kitchener's latest disatches,
although they contain good
.ews as well as bad, have done little
y reassure the public concerning the
tate of affairs.
According to the latest advices from
!ape Colony the situation there is
ery serious, owing to the sympathy

nd it additionally difficult to obtain

'rench's task is described as the hardst

be Boera must'be constantly getting

mmunltion seems to be inexhaustible.
In Boer circles in Holland it is 'aserted
that everything is prepared for
Dutch rising in both Cape Colony

A most alarming letter from Cape

The writer says:
"The Boers are overrunning Cape

MISS STONE'S CAPTURE
irigands Surrounded the Mission*
ary in a Narrow Valley.
Story Told by Missionaries T?trra 'WitlJ
Her and Afterward Released?Board
of Mitislons to Fay a Ransom.
Boston, Mass.?Details of the recent
capture of Miss Stone, the American
missionary, and one of heT helpers, by
brigands in Turkey arc made known
in a letter just received here by the
American Board of Commissioners for
Foreign Missions.. The facts became
known to one of the missionaries of
the board in Samokoo, European Turkey,
who were members of the party
with whom Miss Stone and her assistant,
Mrs. Tailka, were traveling when
the capture was made.
They could give no information as
to where Miss Stone and her companion
were taken, as the two women disappeared
in the night and the reBt of
the party were detained under guard
for a time. Finally the robbers relieved
these captives of watches and
other valuables and departed. > The
missionaries made their way at once
to Samokoo.
According to the story told by these
victims the capture was made at 4
o'clock in the afternoon on September
3. while Miss Stone and Mrs. Tilka,
the wife of an Albanian preacher,
were traveling with friends from Ban?
sko to DJumao. There were fifteen
to eighteen In the party- The bandits
confronted them In a narrow valley
and compelled them to wade a river
and ascend a wood mountain for about
an hour. There appeared to be about
forty brigands, dressed like Turks, but
speaking goo'd Bulgarian.
At length a stopping place was
reached: The next mornine Miss
Stoue and Mrs. Tailka were missed,
and It was apparent tbat-the main
body of outlaws had departed, leaving
only a guard. Later this guard compelled
the captives to give up their
watches, money and jewelry, after
which they disappeared up the mountain,
leaving the missionaries free.
The authorities did not learn of the
capture until nearly twenty-four
hours after it had occurred, and It is
thought this gave all the chance the
brigands needed to reach a safe hiding
place. It is thought that they may
have entered Bulgaria, and the army
has received special instructions to
guard the border closely and follow up
any traces of the marauders which
they may find.

Inquiry froin the State Department as
to whether It would pay the ransom

WHITNEY QUITS ENGLISH TURF;
He Withdraws Because American Horse*
men Are Not Fairly Treated.
London.?The retirement of William

regret, but hardly surprises
those who have noted the recent trend
of events.
There is a widespread feeling that
behind Mr. Whitney's published reasons
for withdrawing, his realization
of the fact that the attitude of the
British turf authorities toward Americans
is no longer marked by. the absolute
imnnrtiflHfv which Character
ized their dealings prior to the preeminence
of American owners, horses,
trainers and jockeys.
There have been many complaints
that American horses were too heavily
handicapped, that the jockeys were
harshly treated, and that interferences
during the races were' whitewashed,
which would not have been tolerated
on the part of American jockeys.

During the months that the woman

Washington, D. C.?The Schley Court
of Inquiry resumed its sessions on
Friday, and completed its organization
by the prompt substitution of Rear
Admiral F. N. Ramsay in place or
Rear-Admiral Howison. There was
plenty of indication that Admiral
Dewey intended to make good his
promise that the work of the Court
should not lag.
Captain Cook, of the Brooklyn, who
was present in the witness room, and'
who had expected to be the first witness,
was displaced by Rear-Admiral
Higginson, at the instance of the
Judge Advocate, who was invited by,
Rear-Admiral Schley's counsel to begin
in any way he preferred. .J

by Judge Advocate Lemly as to what :' ?
impression was made upon the wit

during the brief firing upon the
Cristobal Colon in the mouth of Santiago
Harbor on May 31, and was sustained.
Later, several questions pro*
posed by the Court were submitted
by Judge Advocate Lemly, one of
which, understood to have been framed 4 3
by Rear-Admiral Beuham, sought to
ascertain Whether the witness thought
Commodore Schley had done everything
in his power to capture or de:
stroy the Colon, and was answered by
Rear-Admiral Higginson with, "No; I
don't think it was," before the objection
of Rear-Admiral Schley's counsel
could be made. After argument by
Mr. Raynor, the question was withdrawu.
Captain Giles B. Harber, who was
executive officer of the Texas, differed
from Rear-Admiral Higginson in that
he stated that the blockading distances
maintained by Commodore Schley
were from seven to ten miles instead
of from one to three, and also in asserting
that the distance observed at
night was greater than that held by
day. With regard to the difficulties
of coaling at Santiago he made less ol
them than Rear-Admiral Higginson, ' ^
saying that they were not greater than
at Tortugas when he had coaled the

Major Thomas N. Wood, Marine
Corps, who was Captain of the Marine
Guard on the Massachusetts, repeated
an overheard remark said to have
been made by Commodore Scbley, during
the firing at Santiago on May 31,
when Wood was eight feet away from
the conversation. Schley was report-,
cd to have said: "Starboard your
helm, and let's get out of this." RearAdmiral
Higgiuson did not refer to
this direction by Commodore Schley.
When questioned by the Judge Advocate
about this remark, the witness as^
serted that he had heard It "fairly distinctly."
The proceedings of the day brought
no surprises except the conflict of
testimony of Higglnson and tiarber
as to the blockading distances observed
by the fleet under ScWey.
