Prince Peter Karageorgevitch, the pretender to the throne, has been proclaimed king by the army, and there is every reason to belfeve that this decision will be confirmed by the Servian parliament which has been summoned to meet on June 15.

Authentic advices from Hinsdale, Mont., say that Brown, one of the G'asgow Jail breakers, has been captured by Deputy Sheriff Rutter. Rutter got a tip that Brown was to meet friends near Hinsdale and went there to meet him. Brown seemed inclined to talk, and when questioned by Rutter said that he had come to Hinsdale alone, having left the other three shortly after they left the brush. He had no hat or coat. He says he did not want to be with the gang when they came in contact with the officers, as he was sure there would be some hard fighting. He says that the plan was to overpower the guards and put them in the cell with Hardee and make their escape wtih-ou- t Hardee.

Mrs. Mary McKnight, who has been under arrest at Kalkaska, Mich., for several days, has confessed to tbe poisoning of her brother, John Murphy, his wife and baby. The woman says she gave the baby strychnine, and when the mother discovered what she had done she persuaded her to take some medicine to steady her neive, and gave her a fatal dose of strychnine. Two weeks after the death of the wife, John Murphy was poisoned. Eight other persons besides the Mrs. murder whose investigation confessed, McKnight in the past died have shows, fifteen years under circumstances that, in connection with the womans confession, are now thought to be very suspicious. All are said to have shown symptoms that are now believed to indicate strychnine poisoning. There was no suspicion against Mrs. McKnight in connection with the Murphys until she filed a mortgage on their property after death. An investigation was then begun. The body and of John Murphy was exhumed strychnine found in the stomach. Mrs. McKnight was put under arrest, with the result that she confessed to the crime. three to LIVES LOST.

Dr. John Hall, the late pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church, was very proud of his memory for names and faces. Strangers wondered at his readiness in calling by name the numerous members of the Sunday School connected with the church. Bat one of the elders of bis church tells of one occasion when the doctor showed no evidence of his remarkable gift. While Dr. Hall was taking his customary walk down Fifth avenue one morning, he said, a young man stopped him, saying: Good morning, Dr. Hall, Im very glad to see you. Dont you remember me? The doctor, after scrutinizing him for some seconds, replied: I must confess that I have no recollection of ever having seen you. Are you sure that you know me? the youth, Positive, answered and its strange you dont recall me, for you officiated at an occasion of great importance to me.

Mr. Whittlesey discovered a hoy trespassing on the links the other morning, despite the posted notices, and told him to get off. The boy refused. In order to thoroughly frighten the lad and make - him a living warning to other boys, Whittlesey seized him by the collar and rolled him over on the grass. Just then a Yale student with a girl on his arm happened along. Seeing a grown man apparently pummeling a child, th student called: "Here, you! What are you doing? You let that hoy alone.

SLAYS The Corporation of Harshness and Lordliness No Longer Tolerated. There is one good result of an and of the overcrowded profession, sharp competition that exists among doctors in the rivalry for popular fo. vor. This is the disappearance of the spirit of harshness and which sometimes degenerated into positive brutality. These characteristics were the natural products o an original boorishness, increased by success and a comparative monopoly It takes a gentlemanly qf practice. mind not to be spoiled by the attitudg of subservience on the part ot p tients, and the habit of ordering by ' the physician in charge.
