KILLED WITH A IIATCIIET
Macedonian Murdered in a Boarding House
in T1 route.
-,A despatch from Toronto says : 1
%WLh the bead hacked almost to j
pieces with a hatchet ,the body of
Evan Simoff, a Macedonian, was
found lying in a pool of blood in a
boarding house at 16 Eastern avenue
on Thursday morning. Pella
Stofoff, a follow-countryivan and a
half cousin of the deceased, was
taken into custody as a material
witness. The hatchet with which
the crime was committed was found
beside the body. This is tho second
murder that has occurred in tho
elacedonian colony in the city dur-
ing the past two years. The
hatchet, which had been used with
deadly effect, was found on the
floor a few feet from the body of tho
victim. Robbery was apparently
the motive, as the man's tronas
wore loosened at the waist, where
it was believed ho carried a belt
containing money. Moreover, blood
stains in tho right band pocket in-
dicated that tho murderer had
thrust his hands into the pocket.
That there had been no struggle
was evidenced by the fact that the
few pieces of old furniture in the
room in which the deed was com-
mitted had not been disturbed.
Tho murderer, woo had apparent-
ly been frightened before complet-
ing his search of the victim's cloth-
ing, overlooked a bag containing
$100 in gold of Macedonian do -
nomination, which was found sewed
to the linen of the victim's inside
vest. The murdered man wore two
pairs of trousers and two vests.

AN INDIAN CRUCIFIED.
He Took the Role of Christ in Pas -
slim flay.
A despatch from City of Mexico
says: Tiburcio Ziuubrana, a Tux -
pan Indian, who was crucified at his
own urgent request by worshippers
at the annual Easter celebration of
the crucifixion of Christ by mem-
bers of his tribe near Guadalajara,
has died from lockjaw. Zambrana
took the role of Christ in tho Indian
Passion Play, and as tho climax
of his performance he insisted that
he be nailed to the cross instead of
being strapped, as has been the
custom. His death followed as a
result of the terrible injuries caused
by the nails being driven through
his hands and feet. It is believed
that this tragic affair among the
Tu irpan Indians will lead to vigor-
ous measures by President Diaz and
the national Government to pre-
vent the celebration in future.

CONDENSED NEWS ITEMS
WOMEN IN SAVAGE LANDS.
Health of Modern Woman Poor
Compared With Savage.
There can be practically no com-
parison In toe hatter of Health
botweon the savaeo and civilized
wumau. l.e latter is longer -lived,
it is true, but silo is seldom posses -
ed of the exuberant health treat is
common to tho former. Child-
birth is a simple tiling to the un-
civilized woman, ann very rarely
fatal or productive of the train of
diseases common to the modern
woman. After a day or so the new
mother is 'able to take up her
customary occupations, and she
is never in need of the retinue of
doctors, trained nurses and spe-
cialists that tho civilized woman
demands.
The savage woman is usually a
perfect physical specimen of hu-
manity, and by virtue of bearing
heavy loads on her head acquires
a carriage and deportment that
would have delighted a Greek
sculptor.
A majestio woman, with small
baro feet and grand, swinging, de-
liberate gait, Hibiscus blossoms in
her flowing hair, a wreath of yel-
low flowers falling over her native
garments, has a tragic grandeur
of appearance which makes the
diminutive, fair-haired foreigner
trotting along hesitatingly in high -
heeled shoes look grotesque in com-
parison.
Woman the world over ban her
hours of ease. She dances, she
sings, she prays to the gods; she
visits the gossips, slso anoints and
decorates herself.
So it is not fare to advance a
theory that in a state of living
whore house rent is unknown,
where the tax collector does not call,
pipes do not burst with frost and
tho cook does not leave on the eve
of the grand dinner, that woman is
happier than when she has to con-
tend with these difficulties?
Is woman more settled in life?
is the modern husband better than
the savage? is woman free or
happier? Well read the daily
papers and decide.

Peculiar Haze, intense Heat Dur-
ing Suinme.• of 1783.
Europe and Asia were covered
by fog during the summer of 1783.
Says Gilbert White (letter 109):
"The summer of the year 1783 was
an amazing and a portentous one
for, besides the alarming
meteors and tremendous thunder-
storms . . . the peculiar haze,
or smoky fog, that prevailed for
many weeks in this island (Eng-
land) and in every part of Europe,
and even beyond its limits, was a
most extraordinary appearance.
The heat was intense. Calabria and
part of the isle of Sicily were torn
and convulsed with earthquakes."
Cowper also refers to this pheno-
menon, in speaking of "nature,
with a dish and sickly eye."

A despatch from Winnipeg says:
The prospect of a.0 increased grain
acreage in the Prairie Pro inces as
a result of high prices, is attracting
much attention. Fronk 0. Fowler,
secretary of the North -\Vest Grain
Dealers' Association. is in receipt
of many wires from Enstern cities
on the subject. Ile said on Wed-
nesday :
"Tire natural increase in acreage
this year will be about e00.000 acres
at n rough estimate. This is the
result of lands throes teen and
homes acting. The aereag- last
year was about 6,:00,000 acres in
Manitoba. This year it will be
about 7,500,000 acres. At an aver-
age crop of 17 or 18 bushels per
acre, which is a small one, this will
mean an increase in the estimates
of last year of about 15,000.000
bnshela. Add this to the estimate.)
100,000,000 bushels of last year, and
it will be seen that this year's crop
may he roughly estimated at about
11:1.000,000 bushels. Of course, this
is taking every advantage and dis-
ad% nut age into eonsideration."

to bo in attendance at the adjourn-
ed inquiry into the murder of
Ethel Kinrade, brought tho pro-
ceedings to an abrupt termination

in attendance, and during the day
the Crown authorities had vainly
endeavored to get into communica-
tion. Mr. Blackstock was com-
pelled to ask for an adjournment
until to -morrow night, and in the
meantime the Crown will take steps
to secure the attendance of Mrs.
and Miss Kinrade. Mr. G. Lynch

an entirely negative character.

rades, told the jury that she had
seen a man in the neighborhood
of the tragedy, but her description
of this individual was exceedingly
