BRAZIL'S RULER IN DANGER.

Attempted Assassination of the President—Martial Law Declared.

Rio-Janeiro, Nov. 6.—An attempt was made’on Friday to assassinate the president of Brazil, Dr. Prudente Jose de Moraes. The president’s brofher, an, army officer, was probably mortally wounded while shielding the chief executive from a soldier’s dagger. Gen. Machado ‘Bethencourt, minister of war, who was of the president’s party, was shot and killed. The attempt to kill the president’and the killing of the minister of war, it is believed, were the acts of monarchical sympathizers. Another theory is that they were the results of the intense feeling aroused by the proposed arbitration treaty with France. " _

Rio Janeiro is now under martial law, every soldier having been drdered to arms, and it is feared that another revolution is at’band.

Thousands of persons gathered Friday in front of ‘the government palace to see President Moraes and his cabinet extend publicly the thanks of the republic to Gen. Barbeza and-his troops. Many xiexbers of congress and persons high in military, navy and ecclesiastical circles’ were present, as were also the diplomatic representatives of several foreign countries.

There were shouts of excitement from the ecrowd, and-those in front, forced on by those in the rear, began advancing. The troops were thrown into line in front of the president’s party and-tried to force the crowd back. While President Moraes and the members of his cabinet were bending over the body of Col. Moraes a .shot was heard, and Gen. Bethencourt, the minister of war, staggered and fell beside the body of Col. Moraes, with a bullet in his head. , The soldier who tried to kill President Moraes is under arrest. He has refused to give any reason for his attempt on the president’slife. The person who shot Gen. Bethencourt is unknown. No one knows whence came the fatal bullet. . N

Buffalo,/ N. Y., Nov. s.—An important sequel to the events of the last three days occurred Thursday when a meeting of the Temple trustees was held. Seven of the 11 trustees resigned, and their resignations were . accepted. Among those resigning was Miss Frances E. Willard. The resignation of Miss Willard is a great surprise to aH but those intimately acquainted with the business of the convention. She declares ‘that being at the head of one fund for the Temple it ig hardly consiStent for her to be a trustee of another, but it is generally accepted as clinching the lack of confidence in the position taken by the natiomal convention toward the financial management of the Temple. This left but four trustees—Mrs. Matilda B. Carse, the president of the Temple; Mrs. Marion H. Dunham, of Towa, who is one of Mrs. Carse’s strongest supporters; Mrs. Demorest, of New York, and Mrs. 8. 8. Fessenden, of Massachusetts. '

MISTAKE IN DELIVERY.

Customer Lost Because of the Mer- : chant’s Versatility. -

Queer things happen in subutrban towns, where the residents have a way of utilizing means at hand utterly regardless of the consec}uences. Mrs. Stimpson, a notable housewife who lives in one jof these terrestrial aradises, recently replenished her stock of ﬁousehold furniture, at the only department store in the place and ordered the purchases sent home that afternoon when she would be there to receive them. She was in a particularly happy frame of mind as.she sat at her front window watching for their arrival, remarking with satisfaction the vacant places the new furniture would adorn, when an undertaker’s wagon drove up and stopped in front ¢f her door and a solemn looking driver in rusty black descended from the front seat and rang her bell. She did not lose a moment in raising the window and calling to him in a frightened voice: ) ¢ e s

“Go away! You’'ve stopped at the wrong hquse! There isn’t any body here!” 2 “I don’t want a body, ma’am, I’ve %ot some things I was told to leave here,” called the man. ! 2o

“Take them ' back!” she commanded, “I tell you I won’t have them! You ought to be ashamed to stop here! What do you suppose the neighbors will think?? ’ “Well, ma’am,” said the man, as he climbed on his wagon again, “if you don’t want: your new furniture, all right, but Fve got it inside.” R e ““And 1 wouldn’t take-it asagift,”” said the distressed woman; “the idea of bringing my goods in gp undertaker’s wagon.” <. . “We hadn’t another vehicle in the barn and you said you wanted it right.off,” responded the man as he drove away. But the man of many callings who had utilized the last conveyance in his establishment lost the sale of the furniture and the good will of a customer who did not appreciate such mortuary entérprise.—Chicago Times-Herald. “F = o
