STOOD Off OfflCERS Not Until He Was Felled by Blow Old Youngster Suffer Himself to Be Made a Pri soner. St. Petersburg, Jan. 13.—The po lice are rejoicing over their success In arresting an 18-year-old youth named Parshenkoff, a desperate terrorist and many times murderer, who was taken by officers Saturday night. A squad of detectives hunted Parshenkoff along the canal front on the outskirts of the city. Parshen koff made a desperate stand, injur ing several of his pursuers and was not taken until he had been felled by a heavy blow on the head which caused a serious wound. Parshenkoff was the leader in a number of encounters between the police and the terrorists. He is be lieved to be the man who killed Col. Kalichek of the police in a fight which took place Dec. 18. last and he headed a gang that killed four police officers in the Okhata quarter of this city Jan. 1 1, 1907. Several months ago he made a most daring escape from arrest at Basil island, killing a police captain and four offi cers in his flight. Daily want ade bring résulte. NAPOLEON LITKRATl'KK SALK. Number of Hare Works Placed on Sale in New York. New York, Jan. 13 —A number of exceedingly rare works relating to Napoleon Bonaparte and the French revolution are included In the library of H. F. Vories of New Orleans, which was placed on sale at auction here today. The sale will probably occupy three days, as the collection is a large and important one, and has attracted the attention of collectors of rare books in all parts of the country. One of the extreme rarities in the Vories' library is the official account of the trial of the conspirators against Napoleon. Another is the "Confessions of J. B. Croteau," pub lished in London in 1794, and con taining rare portraits of Robes pierre, Marat and other leaders of the revolution. Another rare work is the "Adventures of Robert Guil lenard," who is said to have fired the shot which killed Nelson. There are also several volumes devoted to the famous diamond necklace scan dal, which was used by the enemies of Marie Antoinette to belittle her. and a first edition of a manuscript alleged to have been written by Na poleon at St. Helena. Tax Day In New York. New York, Jan. 13.—This is "tax day" in New York, marking the •opening of the annual book of record of the assessed valuation of real and personal property. Hundreds of per sons with grievances as to the asses sed valuation of properties appeared to register objections. Those repre senting corporations were required to appear in the borough of Manhat tan and all others in the various borough offices. The books will re main open to March 31. W. L. Harding went to Sherman yesterday to visit relatives. I FATAL AUTO TEST HOUSTON NEWSPAPER MAN IS KILLED ANI> OTHERS ARE BADLY HURT. COLLISION WITH A CAR Machine Without Tire Unable to Leave Street Railway Track— Neck Broken by Fall. I Houston, Texas, Jan. 13.—In the automobile endurance test held here yesterday under the auspices of the Houston Automobile Club one man was killed and three others wound ed. Two cars were involved In the I accidents, one collided with a street ί car and the other skidded into a ι ditch while rounding a curve at ter j rifle speed, turning completely over in the air and landing at right angles to the road in an upright po sition. The schedule set by the club pro vided for a speed of not more than j eighteen miles an hour, but no pen alties were charged for arriving at destinations ahead of time. The test became one of speed in stead of endurance between Cypress and Houston, a distance of twenty six miles. The average speed made i was forty miles per hour. One car covered the distance in thirty-six minutes. The casualties are: Dead: John Trenthem, sporting editor of the Houston Post, neck I broken. Wounded: Ray Weiss, cut on face and neck and badly bruised; Brown Botts, seriously wounded internally; B. D. Kemp, badly bruised. Altogether the test was to cover 112 miles; the longest control was the last one from Houston to Cypress and return. This was also the best road. Throughout the day the driv ers had been increasing their speed and on the Cypress road the climax was çeaehed in express train velo city. Strange to say. in the accident in which the fatality occurred the car was being driven slowly on ac count of a lost tire. In the car with Mr. Trenthem, who lost his life in pursuance of his duties as reporter for his paper, were Will Hogg. H. C. Xosehart, owner of the large White steamer in which the party was rid ing. E. A. Grosser, representative of, the White company as chaffeur, and ja Mr. Simmons. C.ALI.S FOU CHARITY. AU Applicants for Aid Should Bo Referred to Committee. Within the past few days many promiscuous applications for relief have been made in various parts of the city. The members of the charity committee request that such ap plications be referred to them in or der that an investigation as to the worthiness of the claim may be made. In this way there is not so much danger of the people being imposed upon by persons who are not entitled to assistance. The pub lic has contributed to the funds now in the hands of the oommittee and it is the desire of this committee to I render aid to those persons who are actually In need. The charity com mittee is composed of Col. R. H. Connally, L. C. Todd, J. Lee Penn, W. A. Gibson and T. M. Sleeper. When a call is made upon citizens of the town for help the applicant should be referred to some member of this committee. An investigation j of the case will then be made and it ι help is deserved the charity funds will be drawn upon for that pur i pose.

TO FIA FKF.IGIIT KATFS. Members of Freight Huron us lluvi Mooting in Chicago. Chicago, Jan. 13.—Members ol the Transcontinental freight bureau and the Central Freight and Trunk j Line associations met here today I for the most important conference held in a long period. A complete j schedule of the east and west I bound transcontinental tariffs, in ac 1 cordance with the rulings of the in terstate commerce commission, will be completed. It is likely that a com mission will be appointed to meet the commerce commission, should any doubtful points appear in the tariffs. These new tariffs have cost the transportation companies a large amount of money and will be more complete than any similar pub lications that have been compiled during the life of the Transconti nental association. SI IT AGAINST THF KATY. Attorney General's Department Charges Trains Not on Time. Austin. Texas, Jan. 13.—The at torney genral's department Satur day filed in the district court a suit against the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway company of Texas for failure to run its trains on time be tween Denison and Hillsboro, in vio lation of the orders of the railroad commission. The state asks penalties of $5,000 a day from October 1 and Nov. 5. The record furnished the attor ney general's department by the railroad commission is that for thir ty-six days train No. 203, south bound. has been late every day from thirty minutes to an hour and a half. The train leaves Denison at 4 a. ni. and arrives at Hillsboro at 10 a. ni. BILLET INTO Η ΚΑΙ». Dallas Money Lender Kills Hlmsell While Despondent. Dallas, Texas, Jail, 13.—Wallace Schell. who came to Dallas frort Pole, 111., twenty years ago, and en «aged in money loaning and real es tate speculation, killed himself yes terday at his home in this city bj firing a pistol bullet into his head Bad luck during the money panic is believed to have caused his mind t-c become unbalanced. The body is to be shipped to Pole. Putting Down Ballast. The ballasting gang on the Trini ty and Brazos Valley is at work this week between Waxahachie and Bardwell. A long train loaded with gravel was tied up here Sunday night. Monday morning the gravel was distributed along the track a short distance south of the city, 'his work will be pushed as rapidly as possible, and the weakest places in the track will be the first ta re ceive attention. Delayed Train Arrives. The northbound Trinity and Bra zos Valley passenger train due here Friday afternoon at 5:50 arrived Sunday afternoon. On account of its delay in getting in the trair turned here and went back south late in the afternoon. WENT TO HIGHER COURT j HKN'RV <ΆΤΟ, CHARGKI) WITH KXIIS LI Κ Κ WITH SHOTGUN. McKlnney, Texas, Jan. 13.—The j desperate jail break at Sherman in which the jailer was overpowered I and four prisoners escaped, all of I whom were soon recaptured, except I Henry Cato, charged with the mur I der of Alvin Frizzell and who had I been remanded without bail at pre liminary hearings in both Collin and Grayson counties, closed In a most tragic manner at the home of Henry Cato's father. W. Cato, in the Gray Bill community, in the northeastern portion of this county, where the young man shot himself with a sliot i gun at 8 o'clock Saturday morning inflicting a fatal wound. Notwithstanding that a largt posse with dogs was out during the night in all directions from Sher man and extending down into Col lin county, where Cato was reared, and that his father's house was ι guarded during the night, Cato reached the homestead and manag ed to effect entrance to the house without being discovered, about 3 I o'clock Saturday morning. Even the ι members of the family were una ware of his presence in the house until about 8 o'clock when they i heard the report of a gun upstairs Jin the young man's room. On has I tening to the scene he was found [lying with two terrible wounds in ι his abdomen, having fired the con I tents of both barrels of a shotgun i into his body. Medical assistance was quickly summoned but it was I soon seen there was no hope for the young man's recovery. j Cato, who Is about 21 years of age, was under indictment for the murder of his friend, Alvin Frizzell. of about the same age, with whom he left for a trip to Oklahoma and whose dead body was found Oct. 25, in the waters of Sister Grove creek, bearing the marks of gunshot and knife wounds. Cato died at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Before death he engaged in an earnest conversation with his parents, but it is not known whether he made a confession concerning the death of Frizzell, as they refuse to divulge anything. To Try Negro Murderer. Newark. N. J., Jan. 13.—George Wilson, the negro Indicted for the murder of Frederick R. Bomar at the Park Hotel, Orange, was placed on trial today. Little doubt is ex I pressed that he will be speedily con victed and sentenced to the electric J chair, as he has already confessed j his guilt. His plea of "not guilty" I wag entered to require with the law and the trial is a mere formality. lloot and Shoe Makers. NeNw York. Jan. 13.—Governor i Curtis Guild, Jr., of Massachusetts, is the principal speaker on the pro gram of the annual convention of the National Association of Hoot and Shoe Manufacturers, which opened today in the Astor house.

Chicago, Jan. 13.—Pretty "hello girls" employed In the telephone exchanges of Chicago and other ci ties will engage In a spirited com petition for championship honors (luring the third annual national electrical show, which opened today In the Coliseum and will last until January 25. Quickness and accuracy In answering calls and general ef ficiency will be considered in award ing the prizes. The demonstration is expected to have an educational value in showing the impatient tele phone-using public the value of pa tience In dealing with the long-suf j fering telephone girl. Nearly 100 concerns manufactur ing electrical apparatus with an ag gregate capital of over $300,000, 000, have made magnificent dls J plays at the present show.

Quick Response of Department Saves House from Hurtling. In exactly forty-five minutes after the alarm was turned in the fire de partment made a run of about one mile, saved a house from destruction and returned to the fire station. The alarm was turned in shortly after 12 o'clock Sunday from the resi dence of Attorney fl. G. Pierson on I Lake Park avenue. When the de partment arrived the fire had gained considerable headway, but the j blaze was extinguished before ser j ious damage resulted. A large hole was burned in the roof and the fur niture was damaged by the water. The loss will amount to about $300. The fire is supposed to have started ι from a defective flue. 1 MANY ARRESTS MA1)K. Big Hunch of Negroes Detained on Charges of Gaming. Twenty-four negroes were arrested I in the Avalon country Thursday and I Saturday by Constable J. J. McCal I pin on alleged charges of gaming. Seventeen of the arrests were made I Saturday. Five of the negroes who I could not make bond were brought I to the city that night and placed in ι the county jail. A farmer was hired I to bring the negroes to town in his wagon. Several additional arrests in I the same community are to be made I this week. Son Succeeds Havenieyer.

Nobody held it against Lord Kel vin that he was a lord. He wasn't born that way, but was asked to come into the peerage to give the position of lord some standing. it has been discovered that trunks were used by the Romans in the time of Caesar. There is no reason, however, to believe that any Roman lady of that period took more than seven trunks with her when she went away from home to be gone a week or two. The ancestry of the late king of Sweden is a practical illustration of the pungent saying: "The first king was a fortunate soldier. He who ser ves his country has no need of an- j cestors." Ancestry does not count so much in this practical age as re sults. and he who can bring results about, be he king or peasant, Is the man of the hour. XKTWOKK 'VF WIHKIiKSS I.1NKS. One of the most ambitious schem es in which wireless telegraphy is to bear an important part looks to per fecting a system of transmission by which all the British islands in the Pacific shall be connected with one another and with British Columbia. This includes not merely the rela tively small islands, but areas of such magnitude as Australia and New Zealand. An American engin eer has the matter in charge, and having just returned from a tour of inspection over the region mention ed he reports the enterprise to be entirely feasible, and his report has been transmitted to the British col onial secretary. In addition to the daring nature of the undertaking, what will excite special wonder is its amazing cheapness. The engineer mentioned estimates that the total cost will not exceed $500,000, and in view of the extraordinary bene fits anticipated that is a trifling sum. Of course no details are given out, but when one reflects on the vast extent of the Pacific ocean, says the Troy Times, something of the character of the plan may be conjectured. The advantage of direct communication betwoen British colonies without control of the ap paratus by any other than British hands is of course at once apparent, and if the project is carried out successfully it will add a conspicu ous triumph t owhat has already been wrought by "wireless." WANT MORK ItOADS. The Texas Banker, a publication officially representing the association of bankers in this state has a solu tion for the problem of regulating railroads in Texas, simply to con struct railroads to compete with them. The current issue of the Banker says on this subject: "To our mind it is as clear as day that the best way in which to regulate railroads in Texas, is to construct railroads to compete with them. The public is interested main ly in lower and undiscriminating rates, and in improved service. It has substantially no concern with any other of the matters, a multi tude in number, in respect of which legislation has been enacted by the legislature and orders issued by the commission." Railway Commissioner Colquitt fears that new railroad building in the state will be so controlled by eastern capital as to grant no ben efits to the state in the matter of reduced rates nor increased facili ties. in reply to this statement the Banker pertinently observes: "Take off the legal restrictions which are preventing all railroad construction in Texas. particularly the construction of independent lines, or determine to content your self with substantially just the amount and character of railroad mileage and service now "existing in the state." The Banker concludes an inter esting summary of present condi tions as follows: WCaJlU CA1M8 lUlld) ill this country than ever before, even during the brightest days of our late prosperity, and as hertofore, such wealth is seeking safe invest ment. It has lately shunned invest ment in railroads since railroads be came the universal butt of damna tory legislation. This hour is Texas' opportunity. If Texas becomes the first state to begin offering induce ments for railroad construction, only a tithe of that held out to them by the generation who conducted the affairs of the state for the first few decades after its establishment' the mass of capital now lying idle for want of a safe field for investment will flow our way, and Texas rail road construction outstrip anything previously known in her history." New York blackmailers have for med a combination and threaten to hiss grand opera singers unless they are bought off. The opera singers might turn the tables on the black mailers by accepting hissing as a compliment. There are in New York 2 7,000 women who are supporting their husbands. But they would probably rather do that in dear old New York than live in luxury anywhere else. New York's fire commissioner won't have to pay $15,000 for two kisses he stole from a lady.

A friend of mine saw two cat» ap proaching each other on the top of a board fence. There was no room for them to pass each other, and he won dered what would happen. When the.: were near each other one of them i stopped, turned around and retreated I till it came to another board fence that I Joined at right angles the one they were on. The cat stepped off on this fence and waited there till the other went by. My friend thought this act showed an appreciation of the problem beyond the reach of instinct. No doubt those cats had met before, and one was master of the other. What more natural than that the defeated eat should retreat itefore the superior and when it came to the other fence step I off upon It and let the victor pass? The action Involved no mental process any more than when two Inert bodies in motion meet each other and one gives way. There was no other course ι open to the cat. If she or he had j turned back and taken to the side j fence solely to accommodate the other I cat, why. that were another matter. The Gordon setter that met a train of cars upon a railroad bridge and stepped down upon one of the timbers of the bridge and stood there while the train passed gave no proof of rea soning powers.

Oid Roman Laws. The old Roman laws, according to Colquhoun, conferred on the husband j complete em pen- over the wife All ι she owned or earned was vested in j him, and he acquired llie same rights over her person and property as if she were his natural daughter. The wife, on the other hand, acquired all the j rights to a child and to lier husband's name and succession in the event of i an intestate estate, aud she coulil exer cise all the privileges to which her sex I admitted. The power of the ancient Roman father over his offspring was j originally perpetual, nor could the child be emancipated from the fa-; ther's control during the father's life] except by that parent's consent, nor did he become sui juris until the fa I ther (being himself sui juris* died. when the son was emancipated by the i simple operation of the law. In those brave days the father had legal per mission to scourge his children or to send them, fettered like slaves, to work on his estate or even to kill them.

A party of automoliilists was tour ing through Virginia. An accident to the car forced them to take a train home. As they walked down the road seeking some one from whom they could inquire their way they met an old darky, says the Success Magazine.

Tho Origin of "Parton." "Parson" is from the Latin "per sona." a pen.on. and the parson is the persona ecclosiac, or representative, of the church. The forms parson and person hear tlic same relation to each other as chirk and clerk. From being pronounced parson the word has come to lie so written. Blackstone in his "Commentaries" says: "He Is called 'parson' (persona) be cause hy his person the church, which Is an Invisible body. Is represented, and he Is himself a body corporate ill order to protect and defend the rights of the church which he represent»." "To parse a sentence" is to resolve it Into its grammatical parts, and the verb in declared to have arisen from the Interrogation "Pars';" that is, "Quae pars oratlonls?"

LITTLETON is thirty-six. Chief Counsel for Thaw Celebrates Anniversary of Birth. New York, Jan. 13.—Martin \V. Littleton, chief counsel for Harry I Thaw, is today receiving the earnest congratulations of his legal colleag ues and friends ui>on having passed another milestone in his compara tively short but famous career. Lit tleton was born in a log cabin in Roane county, Tennessee, January 1 2, 1872, so that now he is only 36 years of age. His rapid rise to fame has been one of the most phenomen al among the legal lights of the country. He has gone up like a rock et. and there is nothing to indicato a descent. His fellow attorneys look upon him as a fixed start in New York's legal firmament, and one whose brilliancy will constantly in crease with years. The chief counsel for Thaw is a self-educated man. having attend ed school only one term. He was a farm hand and a baker's assistant in his youth, and at the age of 16 be came a track walker in Texas, It was here that he was seized with the ambition to become a lawyer, and at 9 this self-educated boy was ad mitted to the bar. Down at Weather ford, Texas, the people are still talking of the excessive brightness of "Mart" Littleton. They are not surprised that he has become one of the greatest lawyers in the coun try. They would not be surprised at ■any greatness "Mart" may achieve, even to the presidency. Littleton left tue little town or Weatherford to embark on a greater career in Dallas. He was only 21 when he invaded the big Texas city, but the older and more seasoned at torneys of the Dallas bar were soon forced to admit that the Weather ford "boy lawyer" was a smart youngster, and when he had shown his ability in a few important cases he cut a large niche for himself as one of the foremost lawyers of the North Texas metropolis. On December 1, 1896, at the age of 24, the young lawyer married Maud Wilson in Dallas. Considering Dallas too small to afford full scope for his ability, Littleton had deter mined to establish himself in the nation's metropolis. Giving up her luxurious home in Texas, the bride of a few days set forth with Little ton for New York. The couple had little money, bit Littleton was primed with ambition and his young wife abounding in faith. So late in 1896, Littleton first set foot in New York—the great, careless, heartless city he had come to conquer. First Cabinet Dinner.

McPherson Sunday was observed as eduea-! tional day at the Main Street Chris tian church. The sermon was preached by Mr. Chalmers MePher son, pastor of the church and a member of the board of trustees of Texas Christian University at Waco. After dwelling at some length on the importance of Christian education, the speaker gave a short historical sketch of Texas Christian Universi ty, and reviewed in brief some of the things accomplished by the insti tution during the past six years. By referring to statistics he showed S that in this period of time improve ments to the value of $90,500 had been made to the university. Of this amount $30,500 had been paid. The board of trustees are now endeavor ing to raise the sum of $100,000 with which to liquidate this indebt edness and to start an endowment fund for the institution. At the con clusion of Mr. MePherson's sermon members of his congregation sub scribed $716.60. This amount is ex pected to be increased within the next few days. Must Tell Haw They Got It. New York, Jan. 13.—Fifteen dol lar a week chorus girls who own au tomobiles and diamonds and other articles of luxury will be required to tell how they got 'em, if the threats of the tax commissioners are carried out. This was one of the develop ments of "tax day" In the metropo lis, and after today the chorus girl will have to tell her secret, pay tax es on her property or flee from the wrath to come. The tax commission er declares that other ladles pay taxes on diamond tiaras and devil wagons and such, and why not the tootsy-wootsy chorus girl? The tax collectors are evidently ".ternly bent on their mission and are not to be cajoled by winsome smiles or grin ning displays of lingerie. The chorus lady must tell or pay. Death of Little Girl. Wilma Rogers, the six-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Rog ers, who reside about one mile west ot Forreston, died Sunday night from an attack of diptherla.

Richard Brinsley Sheridan earlj eTinced a genius for getting something: for nothing and. seeing the door of the refectory had inadvertently been left unlocked, peeped in and saw a lruge basket of grapes freshly gathered fron; the orchard. Stealthily closing the door and ap proaching the grapes, he thus address ed them: "I publish the banns of mar riage between Richard Brinsley Sheri dan and these grapes. Is there any one to forbid the banns?" And. having no reply to his query, he proceeded tc fill his breadbasket from till- other bas ket with great gusto. But rétribution was to follow, for on the class being reassembled the master called upot Richard Brinsley Sheridan to stan* forth and ^fciined with his name thi ominous name of Walker, who was tht dunce of the school and selected fron: Iiis weight and size to mount the cul prit upon his shoulders in order that the master might get a firm surface upon which to use the birch with ef fect, Sheridan lieing duly mounted and appropriately denuded of superfluous raiment, the master thus addressed him: "I publish the banns of marriage betweeu Richard Brinsley Sheridan and this birch. Is there any just cause or impediment why these two parties should not be joined in holy matri mony?" "Hold!" yetled Sheridan. "Well?" said the master. To which Sheridan said, "Why, ·1τ, the parties are not agreed!" This being not only witty, but apt. as being a valid objection in point of law, Sheridan was requested to re tire and restore himself to hie former habiliments amid the uncontrollable laughter of all concerned, including the head master.—Exchange. THE LAND OF OPHIR. Whir· Was It—In Mashonaland, South Arabia or India? One of the most interesting nnd im portant questions concerning Biblical sites perpetually invites research and persistently evades solution. "Where is the land of Ophlr?" Dr. Karl Pe ters at a public meeting in Berlin de clared emphatically that this famous Biblical region is located between the Zambezi and Limpopo rivers. He told tlis German audience how he has dis covered many shafts of nnclent gold mines, SCO temples, fortifications and ither ruins of Phoenician origin. I)r. Peters affirms that coins unearthed in Mashonaland belong undoubtedly to the time of King Solomon. Ills opin ion is that no other part of Africa could have exported the Ivory, silver ind precious stones which are record sd in the Bible as coming from Ophlr. Against this theory, founded as it undoubtedly Is on very plausible evi ience, Bible students are still likely to maintain, on the testimony of Gene sis I, 29, that Ophlr was a section of South Arabia. Here down to the time if Ezekiel the Phoenicians still laud îd to procure gold and gems with ivhich those famous sailors and mer chants of the ancient world traded in aany countries distant from their Syrl m shores. Many erudite writers have attempt id to identify Sofala, on the east coast )f Africa, with Ophlr, while yet oth tre have located It in India.
