Since Carlos was assassinated she has not worn the pearls, and it is reported she has sent them to England against any attempt at seizure.

"Every time I see a tall chimney," aid an Englishman, "1 am reminded g >f a thrilling affair that happened ii rhen I was a lad in Bradford, Eng- fi and, my birthplace. A 250 foot F ihimney had just been completed, g md two brickmasons only were left e >n the top to put tne nmsning ioucu- d >s on it. Both of them were b )ig men. One of them, a fellow of p gigantic strength, went suddenly nsane just as the last bit of work si vas done on the chimney, and his b :ompanion looked on with horror o vhile the maniac deliberately cut a iway the rope ladder leading from \ he top of the chimney to the f< jround. b "The maniac no sooner did this fi han he turned to his companion and b :almly announced that he was going tl o throw him over the side of the C; ihimney to the ground. They closed, ind a terrific, protracted struggle en- b iued.

"They got away from the chim- ^ ley at a sufficient distance to see b v*hat was going on at the top, and g hey witnessed the frightful encoun- s, er between the two men. The i naniac frequently by pure strength ^ jot his companion over to the very t< (dge of the chimney. Every time he lid this the sane man would muster u ip all of his force and push the mad- jS nan back.

Then he drew up the rope adder, fastened it and came down b o the ground, sinking into a semiomatose condition from which he lid not emerge for days. t< "Two firemen volunteered to go s< ip the rope ladder after the maniac. They had nearly reached the top of he chimney when the insane man talked over to the edge, looked .round quietly for a minute or so, J laving no attention to the cries of ^ Lis rescuers, and then dived head- c oremost to the ground. He was irobably dead before he struck the a arth, and he was picked up a shape- ^ ess mass." j His Mean Revenge.

Colorado Springs, Col., August 12. -Robert Womack, who discovered old at Cripple Creek, died of paralyis here to-day after a lingering illess. In his last years Womack was ependent on a sister, who keeps a oarding house here. This is the end of a man who, in ne sense, paid $280,000,000 for one pree. That sum has been taken out l gold from Cripple Creek. In Janury, 1901, Womack struck the bonana lode. fnmine' here he went on a snree ' nd sold his claim for $500. Then e jumped on his broncho and rode hrough the streets brandishing his 1 ix shooter and proclaiming his se- J ret. When Womack sobered up the best lining property had been located by / thers, and he had to go to work for * rages. CIRCLED THE GLOBE ON $104. ioston Teacher Takes Jaunt Arounc World on Small Capital. A leisurely jaunt around the vorld, lasting two years, on a capita >f but $104, this is the feat achieved >y Harry A. Franck, teacher of mod;rn languages in the Technical Higt Ichool, of Springfield, who has re :entiy returned nome. When Franck decided to make tht rip he had but $104, and this imount, with what he was able tc >ick up along the way, covered th< rntire cost of the tour. As he ex >ended $113 on photographic sup dies alone, his performance is all tht nore remarkable. After a few weird experiences ir he third class compartments of tht :ontinental trains, Franck reachec he conclusion that tramping it mighi ake a little longer, but the additiona :omfort would more than counter >alance the loss of time, besides af ording an opportunity of seeinj nore of the country and people. Franck started on the trip as sooi ts he graduated from the Universit: >f Michigan. He went to Montreal vhere he shipped on a cattle boat foi Glasgow. Starting from Glasgow he visite< he principal points in Scotland, Ire and, England, Holland, Germany 3elgium, Austria, France, Spain, Tur cey, Egypt, India, the Philippines Jhina, Japan and Honolulu. When he set out Franck coul< ipeak French and German fairly flu mtly and knew a little Spanish ant kalian. He is able to converse ii >ight languages now. The discharge papers he receive< >n leaving the cattle boat came ii landy to Franck. "I found a good use for the docu nent," he says. "On moving abou Surope one must be ever ready t< leclare his station in life. The an iwer of the American tramp that h< s 'just travelinV will not pass mus er across the water. To have calle< nyself a carpenter or teamster with >ut corroborating testimonials woulc lave been as foolish as to have tol( he truth.

I Young Ladies of Washington Have Decided to Make Fight. ; Spokane, Wash., August 14.?"No 1 vote, no husband," is the slogan of 1 250 girls of marriageable age who " have just organized the College Equal 1 Suffrage Club of Spokane, under the presidency of Mrs. Z. W. Comerford. Each has taken a solemn vow .to convert her suitor to woman's rights before entering upon an engagement. The plan to enlist Cupid into the ranks as an ally was organized by a half-dozen timid members, who, after several conferences persuaded Mrs. * Comerford to launch the movement and recruit the membership to 500 1 before the beginning of September. i This does not mean that the meth1 ods introduced by Mr. Adam when t he first met Miss Eve are to be barred 1 here, but that the valiant knight must break customs instead of lances * and gain for his lady love the privi5 lege to cast her ballot if he is to have the wealth of satisfaction in his game 1 of wooing. f "While our members are not going ? to be quite as radical as the .Chicago r girls," said Mrs. Comerford, "there will be absolutely no encouragement 1 to those who do not believe in the - suffragists' cause. We expect to start i a school of conversion. The girls will not be pledged to refuse a suitor, who ? is not a suffragist, but it is expected that every member will promise to i use her best endeavors to win the - man for us." 1 1 State of Ohio, City of Toledo, ss Lucas County. 1 Frank J.
