ANGRY HUBBY IN PURSUIT
YESTERDAY, "COUNT" GREGORIO AND MR3. LANCASTER, A WEALTHY BOSTON WOMAN, ARRIVE AT DUBLIN, IRELAND.
Dublin. July 26. Mrs. Joseph Lancaster, of Boston and Count Kuido Costarelll de Gregorlo, who eloped on
the steamship' Dalutic, arriving here Sunday, are experiencing almost as much unpleasant notoriety and surveillance as they did on board the ship as a result of the wireless message from Mr. Lancaster to the Captain. The husband of Mrs. Lancaster, a wealthy business man of Boston, is reported to be on Xhe ocean in pursuit of his wife and the alleged Count. In his absence, however, a Pinkerton detective is acting for him and has nevr allowed the couple out of his sight since they landed. The couple left here tonight presumably for London. By the same boat and train the detective is traveling with them. Several efforts have been made by the Cotint to balk the pursuit of the detective, but without success. He adroitly managed to occupy the adjoining compartment to the eloping couple on the train from Cork to Dublin, and when the train left last night for Kingston he unobstrusively gained a similar vantage point so that the couple will be always under his eye. and it is understood that his instructions are to follow them until relieved by Mr. Lancaster. Both at Cork and In Dublin "Count" Gregoric . persisted in his policy of denying his identity. Beyond saying "You are wrong; you are making a great mistake," when approached and asked if it is true he is de Gregorio and that his companion is Mrs. Lancaster, he cannot be persuaded to make any, statement. :t Both Mrs. ;. Lancaster and ' the "Count" looked tired and care worn, Mrs. Lancaster particularly seeming 111 and distraiight. '
San Francisco, July 26 A single bush containing a hundred varieties of roses! That is the ambition of George Shima, better known as the California "potato king" one of the wealthiest Japanese in the state. And Shima's dream may come true. With Infinite care Hugo Lilienthal, Berkley horticulturist and landscape gardener, founder the the Juvenile Horticultural Society, is pruning, trlmir.ing and grafting in an effort to produce the wonder bush. . Lilienthal has promised! Shima that he will produce a rose bush which will grow 100
varieties, in red, in yellow and snowy white. Shima recently built a magnificent home in College avenue, Berkley. He
commemorated the event by writing a check for $100 for the University of California to furnish a student's room
in the university sanitarium.
Then he began the planting of a
garden. Lilienthal was employed.
Now Shima's garden is rapidly becoming talked of throughout : Berkeley,
though the college town always has
been the home of magnificent flowers. .
But the wealthy Japanese was not
satisfied. He wanted something different from his fellows. So he conceived the idea of a rosebush bearing 100 varieties. He communicated his plan to Lilienthal.
"It can be done," said Lilienthal. "Go ahead and produce it, then"
said Fhima.

RESCUERS FEAR TO FIRE
A RELIGIOUS SECT "Pillars of Fire" Held Their First Meeting in Brooklyn, Sunday-
THEY WERE FORCED TO STAND IDLE DURING A DESPERATE STRUGGLE NEAR SAN JOSE USED A HATPIN.
San Jose, Cal., July 26. With no weapon but a. hatpin, Miss Isola Kennedy battled with a savage mountain lion until help arrived and the animal was killed. Miss Kennedy, by : her heroism, saved the lives of two boys, but was herself terribly mangled by the claws of the lion. Miss Kennedy is the daughter of John Kennedy of Morgan Hill. With two boy companions she was strolling in the vicinity of Glen Willis, on Coyote Creek, when a large lion sprang from the side of the trail and savagely attacked one of the boys. Without an instant's hesitation the girl drew a long hatpin from her hair and, springing to the side of the boy, who was being torn by the claws and teeth of the beast, began jabbing the hatpin into the animal's face, trying to penetrate its eyes, at"" the sajne time screaming for. help. The lion abandoned the boy and sprang fiercely at the girl. She was borne to the earth and would undoubtedly have been quickly killed had not one of the boys suc
ceeded in attracting the attention of two men, armed with rifles. Seven shots were fired into the lion's body before he was killed. Miss Kennedy's condition is serious. The boy was badly clawed about the neck and one of his ears was nearly torn off. The girl has only a fighting chance to survive her injuries. Rescuers Afraid to Shoot. ; With every plunge of the hat pin into the lion's flesh the battle between the woman and the beast waxed fiercer. John Conlon and Frank Fletcher, who were the first rescuers to arrive, were powerless. So close was Miss Kennedy to the beast that the, men feared that they might end her life if they fired. Several times Fletcher leveled his gun upon the lion's head, only to draw it down again when he found that the girl's form was in the way. The chance came after fifteen minutes' fighting. As the lion was about to spring at the throat of the girl the men opened fire and three bullets entered the lion's body. While the fight was at its height men were rushed to Morgan Hill for aid and returned with an automobile, in which Miss Kennedy was conveyed to the home of Dr. J. T. Higgins. Find Cubs in Cave. The body of the lion was taken to Morean Hill. It measured eight feet.
The lion is the argest ever seen in this section of the country. There are but few of the species in the surrounding foothills. Only a few hundred feet from the scene of the attack the lioness had left her young in a small cave.
Miss Kennedy' is one of the best known young women of Santa Clara
county. She is president of the Coun
ty Women's Christian Temperance
Union and is a leading worker in all
temperance movements. She has re
sided near Morgan Hill with her par
ents, nearly all her life. Her father,
John Kennedy, is a man of considerable wealth and power in the section
around Morgan Hill and Gilroy.
ALL GOOD JIG DANCERS
New York, July 26. "The Pillar of Fire" sect is the latest thing in Brooklyn. The meetings of the Pillarites began Sunday. Mrs. Alma White, the founder, hopes to "reach the Jews" and convince all of them in the neighborhood that they must accept the leader of the Christians, and that all saved Jews and Gentiles must before long go back to Jerusalem and stay there to give the Lord an opportunity to purge the rest of the world by fire. "Salvation is as plain as the nose on your face," shouted Mrs. White today at the first meeting. Then she grabbed her shapely nose to bring out the point of her discussion. "Do I think I've got a nose?" she asked sarcastically. "Do I hope I've got a nose?"
"Halleluiar' "Amen!" groaned the
lesser pillars from the settees as they seized their noses. Then she danced a jig. Mrs. -White's jig was the signal for everybody to be up and jumping, and the dance began.
Miss Hubbard followed Mrs. White
and sang a hymn, about flying. Then all tried to fly, but not having aeroplanes, remained on terra flrma.

Finding Wife is a Convicted Forger He secures a Divorce
New York, July 26. Because the woman he married as a Sunday school
worker In 1907 concealed from him
the fact that she had served a threeyear sentence in the Bedford reformatory for forgery, Fred Rowland Hill today obtained an annulment of his marriage to Eugenia A. Hill. She is a daughter of James A. Edwards, a banker, of Ridgefield, N. J., and did not defend the suit. Mrs. Hill's sister is the wife of a Paterson physician, while her brother is a New Jersey banker. The plaintiff is an advertising man, son of Edward H. Hill, who says that his family dates back to colonial days. Hill is said to have known his wife fifteen months before he married her. At that time she had resumed the name of I Edwards. She had married Simon Harold Baker some years previous, but had secured a divorce. "She was a member of a church in Paterson, and taught a Sunday school class," testified the husband. "She
took a leading part in all church work and was active at festivals, fairs and entertainments arranged by the church. "After our marriage checks began to come in, to wfcich my name had been forged. I finally accused my wife of signing the checks, and found that she had done so." Hill testified that he then set about to find out something about his wife's previous career, and learned that she had been convicted of forgery in 1901 and sentenced tc prison. , At the time of her trial for forgery
her counsel said she had . got Into trouble on account of her infatuation
for Baker, whom she married a short
time before. It was stated that she had
begun to pass bad checks to get money
for him even before tneir marriage.
The court annulled the marriage on
the ground that the young woman was
not a responsible person of good repu
tation when she was married, and that
she concealed the fact of her former
conviction from her husband."

English Villages Without Churches. England cannot be said to be lacking in churches, and yet there are remote districts that are sometimes put to strange devices for want of one. In the tiny village of East Horndon. in Esses, which possesses a railway station, but no church, service is held every Sunday- evening ia the station waiting room. The congregation consists of the railway men and the people of the sparsely Inhabited neighborhood, which only needs a railway station because It is able to send milk to that devouring London, which must seem to be a very Incomprehensible place to the simple villagers.
