his interference in the domestic affairs
of the state, expressing want ot con-
fidence in Secretary Metcalf, and de-
claring his report to the president
on the Japanese school question as
"being utterly unworthy of credence in
every particular, and containing
'numerous misstatements and misrep-
resentations, obviously one-sided and
grossly exaggerated," were adopted
at a mass meeting held yesterday af-
ternoon at Walton's pavilion, under
the auspices of the Japanese and
Korean Exclusion league.
Mayor Schmitz, In an address, said
that he was "willing to lay down his
life by the side of his fellowmen in
fighting the Japanese hordes." He
Bald that it was a question of self-
preservation, for the merchant and
business man as well as for the

Grand Rapids, Minn., Dec. 24.— Day
and night United States Steel cor-
poration drills are working upon the
county poor farm in a frantic race
against time. It is reported that
sixty-five feet of ore have been en-
countered in one hole, and the pros-
I pects for the discovering of a large
i ore deposit are considered excellent.
There hangs in the balance a lease
I given a 'year ago by the board ot
county commissioners, authorizing the
sale of the property for $6i,(sW, a re-
markably low lig^re if there is enough
ore to make a mine.
Application for an extension of time
within which to complete drilling the
poor farm property has been made to

, the board voted for a ninety-day ex-
tension over protests made by Com-
missioner James Passard and the

Toronto, Dec. 24.— "With the engin-

railroad Hamilton express tore

day afternoon. The fireman, alarmed
at the increased speed, made for the

Bodies Were Cut Up
and Burned in a
Big Stove.
Paris, Dec. 24.— A midwife living in
the Vivlenne quarter has been arrested
on the charge of the systematic murder
of new-born infants. The attention of
the police was attracted by the fact
that no deaths of children were report-
ed from the establishment,, and an in-
vestigation resulted in the discovery
that the midwife, with the complicity
of a servant, had cut up and burned the
bodies of ciiildren in a big stove in the
dining room of the midwife's residence.
The evidence obtained indicates that
120 children were murdered by the two

ment, whioh is put on in one piece, is far

Only Way Vatican Can
Logically Vindicate
its Action.
The Pope Talks to Mem-
bers of the Sacred
College.
Paris, Dec. 24.— The Associated Press
learns from a high ecclesiastical source
here that It is certain the pope will
reject the new religious law and at
an opportune time forbid the parish
priests to continue services in the
' churches, after which they will or-
ganize private worship. The informant
of the Associated Press added: "The
Vatican can pursue no other policy.
Having declined to retain the church
property under the conditions laid
down by the go>emment, it can only
logically vindicate Its action by prov-
iding to the faithful that they are
the objects of persecution."
The Republicar; organs regard the
order of the bishop suppressing Christ-
mas masses tonight as being the form-
al inauguration of the policy outlined
! above. The Aurore eays it is a scheme
dictated by the Jesuits and that the
cry will he re-echoed by every beadle
and verger In France. "Yet," says
the Aurore, "there is not a single
thinking Catholic who does not know
that the suppression of the midnight
masses is the work of the head of the
church and not of the government."

DULUTH MAN
THREATENS
To Kill Himself Because
Girl Has Spurned
His Love.
Writes Letter to Omaha
Police Telling of His
Purpose.
Omaha, Dec. 24.— Because Miss Stena
Ernest of this city spurned his love,
L. V. Askrooth of Duluth has com-
mitted suicide, according to a letter
received from him by Police Captain
Mostyn.
j The letter related that Askrooth had
come to Omaha for the purpose of kill-
ing his sweetheart, and that his nerve
failed him when he realized how much
[he loved her, and therefore he resolved
[to kill himself. By the time the police
^read his missive, he said, he would ba
[dead.
I Miss Stena Ernest formerly lived
with a Mrs. Wilson here, but left her
home some time ago. The police could
not find her today.
Mrs. Wilson says that Miss Ernest
had an admirer in Duluth, which was
the former home of the girl, and that
he constantly wrote letters to her.
Later Miss Ernest began to lean to-
ward the affections of an Omaha
salesman, who moved away two months
ago, and at tins time the Jealousy of
Askrooth is supposed to have been
fanned to a white heat. Whether Ask-
rooth has committed suicide the police
to not know. They have received no
report of his death.
The name of L. V. Askrooth does not
appear in the Duluth directory.
STANDAR
IHIIeage Basis Used-
Goes Into Effect After
Jan. 25.
St. Paul, Dec. 24.— (Special to The
Herald.) — The new commodity freight
rate schedule over which the railroad
and warehouse commlsion has been
laboring for some months has beetx
promulgated.
It is effective after Jan. 25, and In-
cludes every railroad doing business in
Minnesota. A mileage basis is used
and the cut in present rates runs all
the way from 5 to 50 per cent. The
new schedule was served on the com-
panies today.
Grain, coal, lumber and livestock
are the principal commodities affect-
ed, and In the case of the three flrat
named commodities the cut is a sub-
stantial one. Livestock suffers the
least as against present rates.
In the case of grain and lumber there
are some tariffs now that are lower
than the one promulgated by the com-
mission, and it is ordered that in such
the old rates shall not be raised.
No joint rates are provided for in the
order, this being left to the companies.

PURDY SENT BY
THE PRESIDENT
To Texas to Inquire
Further About Colored
Troops' Actions.
Washington, Dec. 24.— Milton D.
Purdy of Minnesota, assistant to the
attorney general, has been designated
by President Roosevelt to proceed at
once to Brownsville, Tex., for the pur-
pose of securing all possible affidavits
and other information bearing on the
"shooting up" of that town by colored
troops.
Thus is the president forestalling the
possible action of the senate in order-
ing an Investigation of the discharge
of a battalion of the Twenty-fifth regi-
ment, colored, on account of that
shooting, and hopes to be able to have
the case in proper form for submission
to the senate, should the Investigation
be ordered. And should It not be or-
dered, he will still have the informa-
tion for use otherwise.
It is, perhaps, needless to say that
the pre.sjdent is •'standing pat" on
this question, and yet, perhaps, it Is
just as well to say it, in view of the
speech in the senate by Mr. Foraker,.
who announces that he will end'-avor
to have the . investigation, resolution
passed.

COMPANY
LEGAL VICTORY
Verdict of Guilty of Violating Ohio Anti-
Trust Laws Upset.
Flndlay, Ohio, Dec. 24.— The Standard
Oil company won a victory in com-
mon pleas court here today, when
Judge W. S. Duncan decided that the
probate court had no jurisdiction In the
case brought against it in the pro-
bate court and threw out the recent
verdict of guilty against the C5om-
pany.
Prosecutor David some time ago filed
an information in the probate court
against the Standard, charging It with
violating the anti-trust laws of the
state. He maintained that he could get
action quicker against the company by
this proceeding than through indict-
ments in the common pleas court.
The Standard attorneys contended
that the probate court had no jurisdic-
tion in the matter, that if there had
been any violation of the law, the pro-
secutor should have proceeded against
the company through indictments.
This point was upheld by Judge Dun-
can, and the case Is thus thrown out
of the probate court.
This decision in no way affects the
indictment recently returned in com-
mon pleas court by the grand jury
against John D. Rockefeller and other
officials of the Standard Oil company,
charging them with violating the anti-
trust laws. None of the Standard Oil
officials were in court when the de-
cision was rendered, but the com-
pany was represented by Its attor»
neys.
It is understood that the prosecu-
tion will appeal the case to a higher
court.
Judge Duncan. In rendering his de-
cision, said in part:
"The court of common pleas has
power to review proceedings and
judgments of the probate court In
misdemeanor cases, under section 7856,
revised statutes, although the two
courts may have concurrent original
jurisdiction therein.
"The probate criminal code, con-
taining no provision whereby service
may be had upon a corporation, the
probate court has no jurisdiction to
try either an individual or a corpora-
tion, under the Valentine anti-trust
law.
"Section 6472, revised statutes, pro-
viding that 'the provisions governing'
criminal proceedings in the court of
common pleas shall, so far as appli-
cable, govern like proceedings In the
probate court,' was not intended as
an aid to jurisdiction, and, therefore,
does not authorize the prol>ate court
to borrow from the common pleas
criminal code the provisions therein
contained, providing a way to get a
corporation Into that court charged
with a criminal offense.
•'The court of common pleas has
exclusive original jurisdiction in all
■criminal prosecutions under the Val-
entine anti-trust laws."

'John D. Shanahan of the United
! States department of agriculture, one
' of the best known grain graders in
the country, has been spending a few
days in the Northwest investigating for
the government the methods of grain
grading. He finds the work is more
sati.sfactorily done In Minneapolis than
in Duluth because of the interest the
millers take in the matter.
"He doubts the advisability of thw
Wisconsin inspection because of the
differences of opinion that would arise
over two inspections of the same grain.
The national inspection, he thinks, has
its good points, but it would be so
long before it could become practical
that the grain trade would be up in
the air some years after its adoption.

better than at any former period.

Gidding Half Price Sale
Commences Wednesday morning, Decem-

is always looked forward to by the people
of Duluth with much interest because of
the fact that Gidding announcements are
always carried out to the letter. It is
some three years ago that they began
these sales at this time, and the suc-
cess in cleaning up their stock was so
excellent that they have been domg it

JAPANESE ARRIVALS
Deputy Sheriff Michael P. Horgan,
who left last Saturday for Fergus
Fails with Mrs. Solia Carlson, a
Hibbing woman, who was committed
to the state insane hospital by the
probate court, last week, had a rather
uncomfortable experience after reach-
ing the place where the slate insti-
tution is situated.
Because Mrs. Carlson had only been
a resident of this state since last
I spring, when the law requires a
I year's residence, the hospital author-
; Hies retused to receive lier as a
I patient. The sheriff at Fergus Falls
I was reluctant about holding Mrs.
I Carlson for safe keeping, pending
I some disposition of her case, and for
! some time it looked as it Deputy
I Sheriff Horgan would have to engage
I rooms and stand guard until he got
I instructions what to Qo with the uii-
' fortunate woman.
As soon as the matter was reported
to the probate court here by the
deputy sheriff". Judge Middlecoff got
into communication with the state
board of control, with the result that
the board directed the superintendent
of the hospital lo receive Mrs. Carl-
son.
The refusal to accept the woman
was made during the absene of the
superintendent ot the hospital, the
olUcials In charge raising as a point
of law tliat Mrs. Carlson was not a
resident of the state.
Although she has been in this
country but a few months^ her hus-
band has been a resident of Hib-
bing for five years, and the probate
court held that, under the law, a
wife has the same residence as her
husband, whether she lives with him
or not. The state board of control
looked at the matter in the same
light, and decided that Mrs. Carlson
was as much entitled to be received
at the hospital as though she had
resided liere five years.
The Carlsons have two children.
Mr. Carlson is a miner, employed in
one of the mines near Hibbing.
Mrs. Carlson was brought down
last week for examination as to her
sanity. She was very restless and
talked almost Incessantly. One of
her diversions was to spit on the
train crew and all the passengers
that came within range.

The latter are at a small private hos-
pital and In the hotel maintained by
the Soo road. This being a division
point, wrecking facilities were close
at hand and traffic is proceeding as
usual today.
Nine persons were killed and forty-
one more or less hijured in the wreck
when the eastbouud Soo passenger
train crashed into a switch engine
which was standing on the main line.
A coroner's Jury was impaneled last
night, and the investigation of the
causes of the wreck was in progress
today. The engineer of the freight
engine testifled that he had been or-
dered to move out west of the town,
where he was to droi> orf a flagman to
go ahead to stop the Incoming passen-
ger train. The flagman testified that
he had been seat on ahead of the en-
gine for nearly a half mile, and that
he not only placed two torpedoes on
the track, but waited and signalled the
passenger train with his lantern as
well. He swore that no attention was
paid to his lantern signal, and ho
could not say whether or not the tor-
pedoes had exploded/- The night was
fogy, and the .supposition Is that the
lantern slgrnal was not seen, and that
the torpedoes failed to explode.
It came out in the inquest that
James Walsh, the flagman, had been
in the employ of the Soo road for only
three weeks, but that he had flagged
trains before. At the conclusion of the
testimony, the coroner's jury returned
a verdict holding the crew of the
freight engine responsible for the wreck
and passing severe censure upon the
Soo road for its alleged negligence In
placing inexperienced men in position.'?

DOGS OF CONSTANTINOPLE.
The dogs are a great feature of Con-
stantinople, and, indeed, of all Turkish
towns. They lie about in amiable heaps
In the sunshine and are most con-
siderately treated by the Turks, though
occasionally they suffer at the hands
of Greeks or Armenians. One con-
stantly sees a slumbering group, over
which the passersby carefully step,
monopolizing the very center of a busy,
crowded street. Each road has its own
pack, which protests vehemently
against any foreign trespasser.
Yet a dog may pass where he pleases,
says a writer in Blackwood's Maga-
zine, by making, in the Turkish phrase,
"tesslim"— that is, "resignation." In a
street not his own he is obliged every
few yards to lie on his back and wave
his paw propltiatingly, while an in-
hospitable chorus barks around him.
The progress Is slow and undignified,
but in the end sure.
Some of the dogs are handsome, and
nearly all have most courtly manners,
but the great majority are either
crlpppled by carriages and mange strik-
en.
When puppies appear upon the .scene
the nearest Turk provides "a basket
and milk, and sees generally to their
welfare, and woe betide the foreigner
who tries to kill a hound.
Once I was passing down a street at
dusk, but stopped to make the ac-
quaintance of a puppy like a ball of
worsted. I had established a very
satisfactory basis for future friend-
ship and was going on my way when
I heard the rattle of wheels and yelp-
ing. Going back I found the poor little
beast had been run over and had two
legs broken. As a big Turkish porter
was passing I offered him a franc to
put the puppy out of pain, a work 1
did not relish. He was ready to take
it roughly from my hands, taut not
to kill it. "That's different," he said;
"to take life is wicked."
There are many repellant sights in
Constantinople, and it is hard to con-
ceive a picture which more realistically
represents a scene from the Inferno
than an ordinary business transaction
that occurs nightly. Dogs are the
scavengers of Constantinople and
every night the refuse of hotels and
houses is thrown out into the street.
The class of man exists which lives
by i-ag picking and diligently investi-
gates the contents of these heaps,
while the dogs snarl and bay around
him savagely, resenting his Intrusion
into their perquisites.
STEAMBOAT DRAMA.
Anybody who lives in a town on the
banks of the Mississippi river and hears
a calliope play at 5 o'clock In the morn-
ing knows that it is not a circus that
is coming to town, says the Chicago
Tribune. It is the floating palace, which
is the name given to a unique form of
theatrical transportaion entertainment
that is used only on the river and its
tributaries, the Ohio and the Misourl.
There are at the present time more
than a dozen floating palaces. Each
of them carries a well equipped stage,
a company of from sixteen to thirty-
five actors and actresses, and has a
- - om 200 to 700
persons. Each of the boats has a
steam piano with which the people
from the countryside are called to the
landings, where the shows are given
on the boats, and most of the boats
carry pretty fair bands.
Nowhere else in this country or
abroad is the drama carried up and
down rivers on steamboats. Barring
the railroads, the favorite means of
transportaion in England and in Con-
tinental Europe is the wagon. There
are manv wagon shows in this coun-
try but htev would find it difficult to
reach all the towns that are easily
reached by the fioatlng palaces. Many
of the towns that get all their dramatic
sustenance from these floating play-
houses have no railroad connections
whatever. If It were not for the shows
that float down or up to them by boat
they would have tog o without theatri-
cal fare. , ^. ».. .
Mark Twain, who knows the big river
about as well as anybody, used to be
well acquainted with the old time man-
agers of a few of the floating palaces.
Hte introduces one of them lnto"Huckle-
berry Finn." But times change and men
change with them, and the floating
palace of today Is much more elaborate
and much flner than were the floating
palaces of the older time.
They play to thousands of persons
each season, and they give pretty good
shows. Their managers, who live in
Cincinnati and St. Louis, make good
profits on the Investment.
FISH WHICH SHOOT.
Harper's Weekly: An official of the
United States Fish Commission, m speak-
ing of oddities which may be observed
In the habiU of scaled water dwellers.
"■^m^'c^mi^no one now belie^^s the old

monds to the value of $300 Diamonds
have been discovered m the United
States in four different regions, but
their actual place of origin Is In every
case unknown. All have been found in
loose and superficial deposits, and all
accidentally. It is not at all improb-
able, however, that some day the
original sources of this queen of gems
may be discovered.
The high price of diamonds has made
the recent search for these precious
stones in the United States and Can-
ada keener than ever before. A careful
watch for diamonds was kept during
the examination by the United .States
Geological survey of many samples of
gold and platinum sands at the Lewis
and Clark exposition in Portland, Ore.
A lookout for diamonds has also been
kept by a """i^^^, °i P^?:
pie who have been dredging for gold
on an extensive scale in the rivers of
California. In neither case have any
flnds been reported.

EASY DUPES.
A lawyer said of the late Al Adam*
in New York: "Mr. Adams was vefjr
honest and upright with his friends.
He treated his friends far better than
dops many a venerable churchgoer I
could name. And if he frankly ad*
mltted that he duped the public— why.
if all who duped the public were sent
to prison for it. our Jails would have
to be enlarged. , , .,
"Like Barnum. Mr. Adams claimed
that the public liked to be foole^
As an example of the ease it could
be fooled with, he used to tell a story
about a calendar vender.
"This vender, one wintry day, en-
terred a cafe, and said to a man who
was reading a newspaper and drink-
ing hot lemonade:
'•'Won't 5'ou buy a calendar,^ sir?
The New Year Is close at hand.'^
"'No I don't want a calendar,* th«
man answered, sipping his lemonade
impatiently. ^ ^ . ,_ .^
"But the vender persuaded him to
buy one, and he ordered it to be de-
livered to hia wife at a house on the
next square.
"Going to the house, the vender
said to the wife:
" 'Your husband, madam, sent me
from the cafe on Exe street with this
calendar, which he wishes you to buy
for his desk.'
"The lady paid a quarter for the
twice-sold calendar, and the reckless
vender returned to the cafe where her
husband sat. ^ ^ ,
"While he was trying to make more
.sales there, the husband went home,
heard of the trick that had been
played on his wife and him, and, ring-
ing up his butler, said furiously:
" 'Go down to the cafe at once, and
bring up the calendar vender you'll
find there.' ., , *
"The butler went to the cafe, founa
the vender busy with a customer, and
delivered his mes.sage. But the vender,
handing out another calendar, said:
" 'Oh I know what your boss wants.
He wants a calendar. Have you got
a quarter? It will save me the trip
up.' .
" 'Yes; here you are,' said the but-
ler, and and, taking the calendar with
one hand and extending a quarter with
the other, he hurried back home.'

SWirCHMEN
AREJCARCE
Cold Weather Seems to
Make Their Work
Distasteful.
The Local Yards Are
Still Very Badly
Congested.
The cold weather of Duluth is too much
tor the constitutions of a good many
switchmen. The railroads, in conse-
quence, are meeting with considerable
difficulty in keeping enough men on the
ray rolls to handle all the switch en-
gines properly. Several of the crews are
short-handed, and there are days when
enough men fail to show up to keep an
engine from working.
The first cold sptll of the winter re-
sulted in fifteen switchmen quilting one
road in Duluih. Othtrs were employed
as fast as applications for jobs were re-
ceive«l. but at best not enough men can
be Secured. This fact has sometliing to
do with the delays of some of the freight
shipments. The switchjnen do not offer
any objections to the present wage scale,
for it is generally considered iliat they
art paid ai a very fair rate. But there
are so many other lines of employment
open, under more agreeable working con-
ditions, tliut the men can be very inde-
pendent.
The shortage has in some instances
been so pronounced that the roads have
had to rehire discharged employes, and
put them on the same plane as the
£t- ailier element. Some of those who quit
tj.t ;r places remain in the city and seek
c .: other work, while others head for
rmer climes, and even become so fash-
.iViIe as to go South for the winter.
■ Southern roads appear to be having
: as much business to handle as their
Northern neighbors, which means em-
ployment for almost any number of men
who apply.
No particular chjyige is to be noted- in
the yard situation, except that the coal
docks are being supplied with more cars
than they were a week or two ago. The
roads are making a special effort to fill
th-i dock orders for cars, and thus relieve
the coal famine through the Northwest.
Much more prompt service is being given
cow than before. The rush of business i
at the Head of the Lades seems to :
make It an utter impossibility to move all i
freight shipm.ents with dispatch, and, j
whiie the shippers are naturally much an- j
noyed at the delays, the majority seems |
inclined to the behef that the roads are
doing all within their power to relieve
the situation.
The fall and winjer business has been
a record breaker, and the immense ship-
mer.ts of holiday goods into and out of
Duluth have added their quota, making
all the more business, and consequently
XEcre work, for the railroads.

A WORD OF CAUTION.
At the ridiculous prices at which some of these garments
are markt it would not be surprising if many of them would
be sold out the first few hours of selling. Therefor please do
not delay if you do not want to be disappointed in the particu-
lar thing you are seeking for. We cannot promise how long
these lots will last at these prices. We also reserve the right
to withdraw these offerings whenever we deem our stock suf-
ficiently reduced.
IMPORTANT TO KNOW.

by everybody to be the greatest bargain events held in Duluth

HAPPENINGS IN
THE DAKOTAS
Dalquist Given Four
Months In Jail and
Fined $800.
NORTH DAKOTA.
Fargo— Four months In Jail with |800
fine was the sentence Imposed late this
afiernoon on J. P. Dalquist, the Kindred
hotel man convicted of running a bllnd-
plg The case attracted much attention
here because Dalquist formerly resided
in Fargo and was president of the board
X>t education, and also first president of
the state association of school directors.
That love laughs, too, at Dakota bliz-
zards IS dtmonstrated in the case of Nels
T. Belto and Miss Gina Belto. Although
of the same name, tney were not re-
lated by blood, but were extremely desir-
ous of becoming knitted together by the
bends of marriage. They had arranged
to go to Mohall from their homes near
Sherwood, and there be married. The
train on which they were making th»
Journey encountered an old-fashioned
North Dakota blizzard and stuck in an
immense snowdrift half way between the
stations. It did not take long for some
of the more inquisitive passengers to find
out the errand upon which Nels and Gina
were bound. It was discovered that there
was a minister on board, and it was ar-
ranged that the ceremony take place
forthwith. The bride was arrayed In her
nuptial finery and, smiling and blushing,
was led down the aisle by the sturdy
young bridegroom to the vestibule of the
parlor car, where in the presence of the
half-frozen passengers Rev. E. N. Wis-
ner read the marriage ceremony and pro-
nounced them man and wife.
mltted to the members of a committee ap-
pointed at the conference here of Demo-
cratic and Insurgent Republican members
ol the house. The bill will be given close
attention, and after suggested changes
are made will be ntroduced in both
brandies early in the session. The most
startling provision seeks to conhne par-
titan voters to their own tickets, it pro-
vides, for instance, nhat a person voting
a Republican ticket at the primaries can-
not vote any other ticket at the general
election unless he has notified the town-
slilp clerks of his district ol his intention
ol changing at leas., thirty days before
the general election.
The bill extends from United States sen-
ator down to and including county of-
ficials, but cities art not included in its
provisions. Candidai.es receiving a ma-
jority of votes from each party for sen-
ator are declared nominees before the leg-
islature at its session following. The bill
also nominates congressmen, state of-
ficials, a national coiamitteeman for eacb
party, judges of the supreme and district
courts, presidential electors, legislative
candidates and county candidates. Be-
ycnd this the bill is very similar to other
measures, but the plan to force partizans
to vote their own ticket is the most radi-
cal that has yet been attempted in a
primary bill drawn in their state— and
there have been many of them the past
few years.
Prof. H. B. Woodv-arth, aged 78 years,
one of the original instructors at the Uni-
versity of North Dakjta, suffered a stroke
of paralysis and his entire right side Is
affected. His condition is very critical.
He is regarded as a a authority on Eng-
lish history, and was actively engaged in
university work until three jears ago,
when he was placed on the retired list.

TWO SHOCKS OF
EARTHQUAKE
Recorded By tlie Weatlier
Bureau's Seismographs
at Washington.
Washington, Dec. 24.— A special bul-
letin issued today by the weather
bureau says: "The seismographs of
the weather bureau recorded two
earthquakes of considerable magni-
tude; the first shortly after noon of
the 22nd, and the .second about twen-
ty-three hours later, namely, after
noon of Dec. 23. From the appear-
ance of the records, we are led to
conclude that the earthquakes origin-
ated at widely separated localities,
but this cannot be definitely told.
"The first tremors were recorded
at 1:51:50 p. m. of the 22nd, and the
maximum motion of very short dura-
tion, occurred at 2:22:40 p. m. The
record ended at about 3 o'clock. The
strongest motion was recorded In a
north-south direction, and amounted
to 1.7 millimetre displacement of the
ground. The displacement In the
east-west direction was only .3 milli-
metres.
"The second disturbance was re-
corded just after 12 o'clock, Dec. 23,
and the motion, In both north-south
and east-west directions, was greater
in both components, and lasted longer
than in the first earthquake. The
first preliminary tremor began at
12:37:35 p. m. The strong motion, be-
ginning at 12:49, lasted from three to
four minutes. The maximum dis-
placement In the east-west direction
was 1.7 millimetres, and 1.9 milli-
metres for the north-south compon-
ent. The end of the record occurred
at 1:16:21 p. m.
"As far as can be Judged from the
records the second disturbance was
not at so great a distance as the first
one, but both disturbances must have
been at several thousand miles from
Washington."

United States Supreme
Court Decides Against
Methodist Church.
Washington, Dec. 24.— The opinion of
the Supreme Court of the United In
the ca.se of the board of education of
the Kentucky annual conference of
the Methodist Episcopal church va. the
State of Illinois, which was handed
down today by Justlc McKenna, was
favorable to the state. The suit grew
out of a contention over the point as
to whether the Illinois state law ex-
empting religious and educational in-
stitutions outside of the state. In the
case decided, the state authorities un-
dertook to collect the tax on a build-
ing in Chicago, which was devised by
a Kentucky lady to the church in that
etate. The Illinois court held that the
law was Intended only for the protec-
tion of state institutions and that it
<lid not cover the Kentucky bequest.
The opinion of Justice McKenna af-
firmed that decision.
In concluding his opinion, he said:
"It cannot be said that if a state
exempts a bequest to charity from
taxation, or is unreasonable or arbi-
trary to require the charity to be ex-
ercised within her borders and for
her people, whether exercised through
persons or corporations."
ADMIRAL EVANS KICKS
Against Searching of Bluejackets by the
Customs Ofiicials.
Washington, Dec. 24. — Rear Admiral
Evans today brought to the attention
of the navy department the action of
the Now York customs officials in
searching the bluejackets who arrived
at that port Saturday on the battleship
Ohio, from the Philippines. None of tho
men had anything more than a few
trinkets as presents for sweetheartB
and wives, he said, and they
were much humiliated by tlie require-
ments of the revenue officers, which are
not usually Imposed upon naval sail-
ors. It Is probable that Instructions will
be given the customs officers to rectify
the matter complained of and give the
bluejackets the privilege enjoyed by
olvUians in the exemption of a small
amount of goods.
REILIOUS ciillEFS.
In Recesses of Dutch East Indians Still
Causing Trouble.
The Hague, Deo. 24.— The Dutch
troops are stlU meeting with consider-
able opposition on the part of the ro-
t>elllous chiefs In the recesses of the
Dutch East Indies. The former have
|uBt captured the stronghold of the
rajah of Goa, at tiidenreng. The rajah's
■on and eighteen of their followers
were killed, many were wounded and
the rajah's brother was made prisoner.
The official telegram announcing the
angagement, does not mention the
losses of the Dutch troops.
Let the male residents of West Du-
luth have their curling clubs and other
organizations devoted to sports of dif-
ferent kinds, the girls of that section
of the city are to have a ski club any-
way.
Plans for the organization of a ski
club for ladies are now being formu-
lated by some of the athletically In-
clined young women of West Duluth
and it is planned for the organization
that a number of dandy slides and
some social events will be held under
Its au.apices this winter.
Misses Alice Shannon and Jane Mc-
Donald are the prime movers in the
new scheme and they are confident of
the success of the project. Indeed, It
seems that the club is to get along
swimmingly, as many young ladies
with a love for healthful out-door ex-
ercise, have sigaified their willingness
to help along the club movement In
any way possible.
Skiing as a winter sport has been
growing in favor in Duluth for the past
several seasons. Primarily a Norwegian
sport, people everywhere where there
Is plenty of snow In winter and the
necessary hills, have taken it up and
found it very enjoyable.
The hills back of West Duluth offer
some good slides and there Is every
prospect of a good one being main-
tained there all winter.
As soon as the holidays are over,
and the school teachers and others,
who are out of the city for two weeks,
return, a meeting will probably be held
to organize the feminine ski enthus-
iasts.
with a large membership and a de-
termination to still further Increase Its
roll of members. Nothing will be left
undone to make the meeting Interest-
ing, to draw out a large attendance,
and the officers feel confident that
their efforts will meet with success.
State Chief Ranger Martin was pres-
ent at the meeting yesterday and, it
being the last one of the year, he made
a short address. He first congratulated
the court on its excellent showing for
the past year and thanked the members
one and all for the work accomplished.
He impressed upon the court that If
the same spirit of building up the
order was shown In the next year that
has been in the past two months. West
Duluth would have a court second to
none in the state. He advised the mem-
bers to help the officers In their work
and if this Is done St. James court
would have a record at the close of
1907 of which It might well be proud.

Hay Funeral.
Such men are usually high livers,
hard workers mentally, living under
high pressure and high draught, and
It doesn't take a great deal to disorder
the stomach or render the liver torpid.
They should make it a practice to use
some tried and reliable remedy like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, that will
aid nature and not force it and will
take care of the sudden attacks of
acute Indigestion.
The use of these tablets Is not to be
confounded with the patent medicine
habit. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
not a patent medicine, but are com-
posed of the very elements which na-
ture provides the healthy stomach to
do the work of digestion— pepsin, dias-
tase, gpldcn seal. etc. Tnere is no
secret in their preparation. They are
absolutely pure and therefore all the
world uses them.
No matter how disordered the stom-
ach may be. It will right Itself If given
the chance. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
digest food where the stomach can't,
five the abused stomach and intestines
a rest, and offer renewed strength to
the worQ out glands and muscles.
Brain workers can rely on Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, no matter how
tense the strain. All druggists carry
them In the fifty-cent packagea, or If
you prefer ,a free trial package can be
had by senSlnjp your name and address

MYRON'S CHRISTMAS CAROL
By Thadd^s, Author of ''Jack, the Judge's Son/'
\4 and ''The New Leader."
Several of Myron's friends had gather-
ed to spend th^ eV^enlag. Myron's spac-
ious apartmenfs were beautifully laid out
with every couvettienc«J. The lights were
turned low Inithl ruitic den, in which
the young men^sat smoking and watching
the bright, cheerf^f glow of the half con-
sumed coals in the fire place. Between
"busy" nights many clieerful nights were
spent in these corners. The "busy" nights
were those when the. young men were in
society— at an opera, a reception or a
ball.
Between puffs .of t hi) cigars the young
men would ramble 'in boyhood days, or
tell stories on pfli^ a^'Otner. They were
unmindful of th^ IJeitember blasts which
brought misery to many homes, and not
even the snow storm which had blocked
the street cars, the mijrning before, gave
them the slightest worry. The groans of
misery from that great city were too
remote to be heard by them. They for-
got most of the past, lived in the pres-
ent because they had to and delighted in
anticipating the future. '
"A man's a fool to get married," said
Ben as he took his pipe from his mouth
and blew different sized rings of smoke
in the air.
"Yep,*" broke in Charlie, "especially if a
fellow is fortunate enough to have quart-
ers nice these," and ha raised himself by
his ellx»w3 from the huge, easy rocker,
and emptied his pipe irf the fire place.
Then he glanced at Myron. "Myron,
you're breaking a rule of the club— you're
thinking."
All the boys looked at Myron and tho
den rang with the laughter of their
voices. Myron smiled and was about to
make reply when Clharlie "took the
floor," as tho boys would say. "You can't
blame him and If Ben had one like he
lias he'd be tliinklng differently."
"Suspicion haunts the guilty mind." and
Myron had no sooner finished the quota-
tion when all eyes were upon Ben.
"When a fellow commences to talk about
the foolishness: of mairiage— look out for
him."
There was just enough circumstantial
evidence in Ben's cheeks to convict him
in the minds of the boys.
"The fellow who would break up this
happy circle should pay the penalty,"
muttered Wellington.
'Good." excl&tUH^tf se^-eral at once. Then
each proposed «. dlffeiont penalty.
"We ought to c*xcuse Myron for two
reasons." said Ben. while the details of
the plan were being worked out, "first,
because we have enjoyed his hospitality
so long, and secondly. It's a cinch he'll
never give up this pleiisant life, where he
never has a desire un gratified, to sail on
the uncertain seas of matrimony."
The young saan Indulged in a hearty
laugh as Ben's oratorical Impulse got the
better of him. Howc-er, Myron insisted
on becoming a member, or rather a party
to the compact, and it was agreed that
the first one %o get married should give
a banquet at«the "Stringers." the most
fasliionable cafe in the city to the re-
mainder of the pafty and their nearest
friends.
Myron chuckled as he resumed his seat,
and repeated the w ird. "matrimony,"
several times under hs breath. He ridi-
culed the very thought of the word, and
only one situated as he was could ap-
preciate his position. Myron was young
and had finished college and law five
years or more ago. He had a law office
in the city, not because he had to make a
Mving. for he was worth over half a
million, most of his rioney was held by
his Uncle Theodore, but because he want-
ed to do something and keep a trifle busy.
Those who knew him best said he inher-
ited a spark of ambition from hla father.
The merri'makers were soon Interrupted
by a sharp rliig of the electric bell and
Myron was sOon reading a letter the en-
velope had fallen to tlie floor which liad
a special delivery stanjp. The bo.ys
watched the expression on Myron's tace
to see if tli'ey could d<jtect anything serl-
''^^No," replied Myron a trifle displeased,
"my uncle wants me to go to the ranch
at once and attend to some business
matters." ^, . ^ ,
"But next week l5t Christmas week,
and you can't cance:. all your engage-
ments. Why your—" and before Charlie
finished Ben interrupttid:
"How alx)ut Magda""
Myron was undecided when the boys
left. He always clali led that there was
no advantage in ha>'ing relatives, and
that they always wani.ed something when
it was inconvenient to supply the demand,
and now his position neemed better forti-
fied than ever before. He paced the floor
back and forth. It v.as six years since
he visited the old rfinch. He had not
been there slivce his father died. Th'-n
his uncle lookiid alter everything so well
and turned over pie earnings to Myron
that it was no use to be there when there
wpre more pleasant places to live. It wa
hard to decide: H* hated to exchange '.he
fe.'itlvitles of the approaching week for a
silent, cold, lonely week on the ranch,
and he decided before retiring to visit
Madge In the morning and let her le-
cldc.
As the train sped over the silent, white
plains, and th^t h<?avy black smoke from
the engine stained nature's spolie.^s man-
tle, Myron was not h:mself. He recalled
her words time and again. "Don't go
near the old place. You're too good for
It." Then he recallfd his own words,
"Good-by: I'm going.'
It .seemed that a greater foice than
will-power was pullm*? Myron to the old
ranch. But he couldn't explain. That
sentence was cru<-l; It sank into his
heart and touched a .submerged current—
ori'^ of svmpathy. one which hcid many
fond memories of yotith, and when tha:
current reach<'d the surface everything
seemed to come back, and the old ranch
where Myron's best youthful days were
spent with a loving mother and a kind
but stern father, was dt.arer to him than
ever before. "You're .oo good for It," he
would repeat the sentence. He felt thai
there was something wrong.
The drive to the ranch from the little
station was long, cold and disag-eeable,
and manv times Myron wished ho wore
back In his comfortable apartments. He
was out of humor; everything seemed to
go wrong. A strap brok'> during the
drive «ind It took the driver nearly half
an hour to get starte<l again, and during
this time Myron lost ind found his tem-
per a number of times. He was so angry
with himself that he forgot ns was
cold.
He greeted his uncle with forced polite-
ness, and for every wfird which expressed
how glad he was to be there ho had at
least a dozen for another purpose. When
he arrived he was cold, hungry. <sr.ift
from the rocking motion of the sleigh,
and out of sorts In general wi'.h the
world. He drew a lonjj breath as ho -nade
his way to the living room. The ancient
house smclled musty, and the kerosene
lamps poorly lighted the rooms, while the
fireplace could only keep half of tho room
heated. The servarts were awkward,
iworly liveried and mannered. All these
things Myron noticed at a glance, which
did not help his mental attitude.
Myron had answered all the questions
of his uncle with strained patience for
nearly three hours and ho wna greatly
relieved when he reached his room and
was alone. The servants had placed
two huge logs on the fire in the open
grate and he watchtd the flames melt
the snow and redden the green bark. He
had one shoe off and was reaching for
the other when his attention was ar-
rested by the soundsi of music from a
violin. The sound seemed so uncouth to
his highly educated senses, and even
barbarous. He stooc it as long as he
could and then threw his shoe with all
his might against tae wall, knocking
out a large piece of plaster. Shortly
he heard steps approaching his door
and he commanded the music to be
stopped wherever it was.
•'I can't understard him. He ain't
the same nohow,'-' said Uncle Theodore
the following morning. The fiddler
was complaining In r o uncertain terms.
He related how he used to fiddle Myron
to sleep and bowMhti little fellow used
to ride on his foot when he was play-
ing at the dances. The old musician
was greatly alarmed. The annual dance
was to be held In tha kitchen the next
evening and he. had very little prac-
tice, , . ^
As soon as Myron finished breakfast
he ordered the horses and then looked
hurriedly over the legal papers hand-
ed to him by his uncle. "The mortgage
becomes due tomorrow, and the old
man must pay it," said Myron as he
shoved the papers In his pocket and
went out the door evidently pleased be-
cause he had some one on whom his
wrath could fall and he could make as
miserable as himself.
"Don't be hard on Robins," said his
uncle following him to his sleigh. "He
used most of it to edjecate his family
and he never spected a year like this."
"His family—," and the sleigh was
disappearing down the lane.
When Myron entered the little old
house he went to the kitchen stove to
warm his hands at the same time ad-
dressing Mr. Robins.
"Yes, we know its due, but can't we
stay 'till after Christmas? 'Twill be
hard to leave the old place where we've
been these forty years."
"After tomorrow you are trespassers
on these premises," replied Myron.
Mr. Robins looked at his wife. Those
glances meant more to each other than
a thousand words. The struggles, the
hopes, pains, youthful ambitions, years
of patient toll and worry and flnally
the closing scene— the tragedy— that Is
what those glances meant. There was
silence. Myron glanced from one to the
other. W^as there satisfaction in his
heart?. Could this in any way repair
his mental attitude? Could he in any
way appreciate the impulses, the sensa-
tions which were carried by telepathy
to the very soul of each of those old
people?
Myron was about to speak when he
was interrupted. A young lady came
and stood between the old people.
"Never mind," she said In a clear full
voice, "we won't stay where we're not
wanted. We'll go tomorrow and you
papa and mama will never be In want
if a daughter can prevent it." Tears
came into her beautiful, clear, large
brown eyes and she chocked for a mo-
ment. 'We have all worked hard and
paid all we could."
"The money," and the old man cough-
ed as he continued, "has gone to a
young fellow who has plenty. He ain't
a bit like his father. He never comes
near any of us as the old man used, but
I don't suppose we're good enough."
"No, father," replied the daughter,
"Myron doesn't know this. Please don't
blame him. He is working In the great
city to make a name for himself."
The old man noticed the stranger go-
ing towards the door. He could not
see his face as It was nearly all cov-
ered with the large fur collar. "We'll
move out tomorrow," said the old man,
and as the door closed he repeated
with a gasp. "Tomorrow."
Myron never answered. He never spoke
all the way home. Then at the dinner
table he did not speak to anyone. He
was thinking— thinking. He went to his
room and bolted the door. He threw him-
self in the old family chair and buried
his face In his hands. "What's the mat-
ter with me?" He asked himself the
question, but no Inner voice answered.
He looked around in bewilderment. His
half made gaze caught sight of a little
dusty card nailed on the wall. He pulled
It off and read the writing on the back.
"Margaret and Myron— The Best Spel-
lers." He held It and gazed Intently.
The heap of smoldering, youthful mem-
ories commenced to burn. He remember-
ed the very afternoon wlien he and Mar-
garet ran home bareheaded with the
prize— then lie recalled how happy his
mother was. "Yes," he said half aloud,
"this was the very room— the very chair,"
and Ills words seemed to startle him. He
stood up and looked around. Every ob-
ject brought back some memories and
they clouded his conscious field. Things
came which lie never dreamed were
stored away in memory's tablets.- It all
came back— when he dried Margaret's
tears when she fell and broke her slate;
when he used to lift the wire on the
fence so as to let her under; he remem-
bered how they used to wa«.ie through the
little creek; he remembered tlie first kiss
and youthful vows of love came back to
him. "O, I have been lost, lost, lost,"
and Myron tore his hair. It was late.
He looked at his watch and then threw
himself on his bed, but could not sleep.
He recalled what his uncle said: "He
used most of it to educate his family,"
and then he recalled part of Margaret's
conversation. Would morning ever come?
His Impatient heart knew no rest.
Before dawn Myron, with his coach-
man, was driving toward Robins' home
and he commanded the driver to drive
twice as fast as the day before. The
horses fairly bounded over the newly
fallen snow and the clear ring of the
numerous belis, pierced the clear, cool
morn and penetrated far on every side.
The sun was just rising and he never
dreamed there was so much beauty in the
silent plains.
Returning, even the horses seemed to
catch the spirit of their master, and they
jumped and played. Wnen Myron re-en-
tered the house he gret-ted his uncle with
a hearty clasp of the hand, and his man-
ner was Just as much puzzling to his
good uncle. But Myron's voice seemed
changed and the expression on his face
was different; and he seemed more like
the Myron of years ago. He had release<l
the mortgage and he never dreamed such
a little deed could make him so happy.
He went all over the house and even
the barns and even the men's quarters
he visited. He greeted everyone and pat-
ted the horses on the necks. Ho throw
a gold piece to the old fiddler and told
him to get a new fiddle for the dance and
make as much music as he could. He
gave orders to have the house In the
Best of condition for tomorrow— Christ-
mas Tlay, and then he sent the following
message to his stag friends:

PETERS TWIf^S AT POKER.
Tale of Old Mississippi Wtiicti Hearer
Knew as True.
New York Sun: "There was a yap
come aboard the boat a spell ago," said
Caleb Mix, the vetenin bartender on the
Mississippi river packet city of Natchez,
"that sure made me tired. Come into
the bar an' fiddled around more 'n some,
askfn' fr this brand o' whisky an' that,
afore he concluded to take t'other. Pour-
ed out four fingers when he'd made up
his mighty mind, an' wanted to pay with
a short b*t.
"Thavt wan'nt what put me out o' con-
celt with him, though. W^hat stirred me
up was the way he talked about the
river. W^anted to know what p'tlc'lar
p'lnts there was about th" ol' Misslsslp"
't was different f'm any other river,
'thouten 'twas 'cause 'twas big.
"O' course, 'twa'nt no use to explain
nothin' to a yap like that. But I tried
to tell him somepln' about things 't used
"to be did on the boats 't hkely didn't
happen nowheres else on earth, years
ago.
"When I'd been talkln' to him a spell
I got some het up, 'count o' the aggra-
vatln' way he had o' slurrin' everybody
an' everj'thing, an' I told him about the
Peters twins. What? Didn't y' ever
hear about the Peters twins? Why I
reckoned everj'body south o' Mason an'
Dixon knowed that story.
"The Peters twins wiis two short card
players that come aboard the old River
Belle one night about forty year ago, an'
'peared to like the boat so well 't they
stayed aboard most o' the time, after, 's
long 's they lived. Cap'n Taft, as owned
the biggest half o' the River Belle, an'
run her hlsself. was a tol'able fair poker
player, an' hadn't no prejudices, 'ceptin'
he wouldn't have no fighttn' aboard the
boat. Didn't like to have his saloon mus-
sed up, an' didn't like the Coroner's In-
vestigations like they started to have,
after the war, every time a man got
shot in a argyment.
"The old man was accomodatln,"
though. If any of his -passengers was
hel bent on a dispute, he'd tie up the
boat fr half a hour 'long side of a sand-
bar or whatever an' put 'em ashore.
"If one on 'em 'd come back on time
he' put off. not askln' no questions, an*
If they didn't neither on 'em come back,
he'd do the same thing. Used to say 't
half a' hour was long enough to settle
any sort of a dispute, an' keepln' a boat
back longer 'n that was a waste q" time.
"The Peters twins didn't 'pear to like
this rule, first oft. beln' some hasty, an'
give to the habit o' flghtin" together, an'
fightln' quick, like mosit o' them big
boned Ozark men is. They came aboard
at Helena, but you c'd tell by lookln' at
'em 't they was f'm th' Ozarks.
"They looked so much alike 't you
couldn't tell Bill f'm Jim, even when
they was standin' side o' one another.
an' they talked alike, an' both on 'em
had they talked alike, an' both on 'cm
had that way o' walkln' like a cat, 't
you get when you hunt much in the
woods, but they hadn't spent their hull
time huntln'. Slch poker playln' as they
did ain't did by uobodj^ 'thouten a heap
o' practice.
"While they stayed on the River Belle,
an' that were some years there wa'nt
no other p'fesslonals liad no gre't show
In her saloon. They used to say 't was
Just a^ agreeable to them to have p'fes-
slonals come aboard as 'twas for to
catch yaps.
" 'W'e c'n make Just as much profit
outen 'em as we can outen the yaps, an'
most gen'ly more, not to say nothin'
about It's beln' a heap more fun,' they'd
say, 'n' I reokon 'twa'nt fur f'm right.
"I was sayln' as how there couldn't no-
body tell Bill f'm Jim, 'count o' they bein"
more alike 'n any two men 1 even seen,
but maybe Jim was a bit more so 'n
Bill. Anyway, I got so I c'd most gen'ly
tell, after I'd knowed 'em four or five
yf ars, me tendln* bar on the River Belle
them times. ,,, ,
" 'Peared like Jim were more likely to
speak first, an' sort o' took the lead,
lust a mite, In nio.st everything. Bill, lie
"*tood by. But you couldn't notice nothin'
slow about Bill. 'Reared like he on'y
stood by Just so's to make sure 't the
two on 'em 'd do the same thing to oncet,
iik.^ they sure did. ^ ^,
"The poker 't was played aboard the
River Belle while them two was steady
passengers goin' back an* forth, f'm New
Orleans to Memphis and f'm Memphis to
New Orleans, was enough to give one o'
these here nowadays p'fessionals chills
an' fever. Thev must 'a' had a wad, be-
tween 'em, big enough to buy the boat,
"There wa'n't no game 't was too big
for 'em, but the way they gen'ly played
when thew c'd catch a real first chop
p-fessional was a thousand dollars, table
stakes, 'n' ary one on 'em 'd shove his
hull stack in the pot 's Q ^'ck ^ ^ ^^^„'i
throw a white chip, 'f he seen the other
man was any way doubtful. „„„^
"One night there was two man came
aboard at Memphis. Just as we was cast-
in' off. an' took passage fr New Orleans,
I heer'd later 't they was a couple o
rhioaeo men 't had some reppytatlon I r
kno^in' s™mc poker, an' was lookin' over
the chances o' the river game. „„_,„„
"Perkins an' Foster was the names
they Klve, but that mought 'a' been
hefr feaf'names fr all 't I know. Per-
kins were a little man, not much bigger
• u I minute, but Foster were a most as
big as the Peters twins-one on em 1
"""Wiien It come to cards, though there
wa'n't nothin' to choose, an 1 f«^n [
the Peters twins had some of a Joo .cu*;
ou^ when they tackled these two No th-
ernens like they did right after supper
Thev se*"n It, too, 'n' I c'd see em Jook
Jidc-wav^ at each other onct or twlcet,
when they was gettin' „««"'^.,'"[°i' if
game. Later on. you oouldn t ten u
thev looked at each other or not.
"First off, they was some s'prlsed at
"'-How^"shall we moke ItV' says Jim.
•We most gen'ly plays table stakes tor a
thousand a corner.'
•'But little Perkins ,he speaks up. In a
sra^aky sort of voice an' he says i
don'r understand, exacUy. 'What do you
mean "A' tSle stakes. That's a new one
°''"sT''jlm, he says. 'It means you c'd
al-avs eet a show 'f what's in front of
vou an' vou can't bet no more 'n you
'have^"n ?Ce ?able. We Ren'ly fiaeh a
thousand apiece, an' Piayf«r that first.
"But Perkins, he looks discontented, an
he says. "I don't see no sense n that.
T've eoi more'n a thousand with me,
but I^aln't flashln' my hull wad t 11 the
time comes. Do you mean I can t bet
anything I damn please, when I get
" -Oh I all right,' says Jim, an' there
wa'n't no more said about that, -rhey
^ich took a thousand, '" chips, usln
ytUers for hundreds, an' understood that
bills was to be used f'r big bets.
"It don't take long for to find out on a
river boat when there's a reely big game
on an' twa'n't more'n a quarter ot a
hour afore nigh everybody on the looat
't c'd get there was In the saloon, lookin
on an' there ain't no question but what
they seen amazln' fine poker playln .
These two Northerners sure was some
skilled but the Peters twins hadn t never
met up with none better than their own
selves, an' 'twa'n't to bo reckoned t
Chicago men'd win out when the best
players on the river c-ouldn't.
"Just naturally I was one o tlifm t
was lookln' on. I had a boy ^ the bar;
room an' I was waltin' 'longside o th
card table f r such orders as I mought
*^'i c'd -a' had the ,boy there Just aa
well, bein' as good players didn t drink
none to speak of at the table, but Id
been studyln' them Peters twins a spell
an' I had my own Ideas. O course,
•twa'n't none o' my affairs to say noth-
in"; but I hain't never found 'twas bad
business to know what's goln' on round
where you be. ,. .u
"I'd found out, fr one thing, t the
cards as was played with when them
Peters twins liad a reey important game
on wa'n't the same cards as came f m
my bar when I brought 'em in. Then 1
studied the cards as was picked up, an
•twa'n't long afore I c'd tell 'em by the
"Just naturally, when I found out that
much. I looked at their deahn tol able
close, an' 'twa'n't long a fore I seen
another thing. Them boys was the slick-
est second card dealers 't ever traveled
"Them Chicago men had sonie stunts
o' their own. They'd sound old-fashioned
'f I was to tell 'em now, but they was
•counted sliok them days. I never see a
crosscut played like they played It, not
till later on. It's common now, but
'twa'n't then. , ^ , , ^ j.
"Bill dealt the cards, an' Perkins had
put up the reg'lar ante, five calls ten.
Jim come in, an' so does Foster, an' Bill
drops Then Perkins makes It ten more
an' Jim, thinkin' he sees a chanst, an' re-
lyln' some on Bill's deal, he boosts It
t\F©n tv
"Then Foeter trails, Perkins makes It
fifty more, Jim shoves in a hundred dol-
lar bill, an' Foster bets five hundred.
"Hit were a sort o' body blow, an' made
It look sure enough like Foster had some-
gln'. Perkins looks at hime a long time,
ut finally he makes good, an' Jim
studies consld'able
'His two pairs didn't 'pear to be worth
no such money, an' he was up against the
two on 'em. Finally he settles It as he'd
I
better forget the $140 he had In, ruther 'n
to put up $5'W more, an' maybe two or
three thousand later. So he drops.
"Then Perkins takes one card, Foster
takes two and bets $100. Then Perkins
drops.
"'There couldn't be no question o' the
play, nor there couldn't be no doubt "t
gethcr, but I says to myself 't Jim 'd be
liable for to deal out some tol'able strong
hands when the deck come to him.
"Tliere was a good openin' for hltn to
do it, too, bein' as Perkins called fr a
new deck an' dealt with 'cm. I don't
reckon anybody seen Jim change that
deck f'r another one when he took it. I
know I was lookln' close 'n' I couldn t
see nothin', but knowin' the marks they
used I seen 't the cards he dealt was
marked his way, an' I knowed the deck
I'd brung when Perkins called for It
hadn't no marks on it. ^
O' course, I knowed well enough t Jim
had 'em stacked, 'n' more'n likely
changed the dock after the cut, so I says
to myself thered be some corkln' good
hands out, an' there was.
"Foster anted the usual five call teii.
an' Bill conies In. Perkins, he raised
it, an' Jim stayed. Then Foster he
studied some, like he had a notion to
raise back, but he didn't, an' him ah
Bill stayed. ^
"Then Foster he called f'r one card.
I reckon Jim had looked for him to take
two, bein' as he had three kings, as we
learned later. But It took more'n that
to rattle Jim. .. ,^ ., ,
"I was tellln' as how he c d deal seo-
onds 'thouten beln' ratched. That is, I
never seem him catched, on'y this once.
"He give Foster his one, an' Bill calls
f'r two, an' Perkins stands pat, an
Jim says he reckons he'll take two.
When he took 'em there was a pasty
faced stranger as stood with a friend
0' his'n, lookln' on, spoke up quiet like,
to his friend, an' says: . ^^ ^ ^
" 'Jimeny crlpes, but that's the first
time I ever seen a- man deal 'thouten
dlsturbln' the top card.'
"I don't reckon this feller had no Ideo
't anybody but his friend 'd hoar him,
f r he spoke In a sort o* whisper, an he
didn't look like a man 't was likely to
be huntin' fr a handy way to commit
suicide, but there was more n one
heer'd him,
"Jim did, f'r one, an* he speaks up
verv quiet, but distinct:
" The gentleman lies,' he says, pull-
in' his gun,
"Bills gun was out the same minute,
an' the stranger seen he was up against
It, BO he didn't make no move f'r his
own gun, but there wa'n't no yaller in
him If his face was pasty. He says,
Just as quiet as Jim;
" 'You've got the drop on me. but If
,ou want to give a gentleman'^s Batls-
aoilon, I'll fight you fair.'
" 'Not on this boat you won't,' sayo
Cap'n Taft. layln' one hand on Jim B
gun an' one on Bill's, 'If there's flght-
in' to be did, you'll go ashore,' Bo they
fixed it that way,
"It were made up 't Jim was to take
Bin f r Uls second, an' the pasty faced
mans friend was to go with him. Tney
was to have a gun aplQco an' flro at the
word ae fast as they liked till tha guns
was empty.
'"fho cap'n put 'em ashore, toIUn' 'cm
he'd wall half an hour for 'am, an'
thej' went Into the woods.
"Twenty minutes later BUI an' Jim
come back. They sold the pasty faced
man's friend was wlshln' to stay with
the remainds. so they'd left him there.
An' the boat went on down the river.
"Some years later I met that friend,
an' he told me 't Jim had fired five shots
to the pasty faeed man's two, but
neither on 'em was hurt much. Then
the pasty face walked toward Jim, like
he was goln' to finish things, an Bill
out with his bowle an* cut his head
blame near off, so 's 't he dropped
dead."
The grizzled old barkeep fell Into si-
lence when he finished his tale, and
shook his head mournfully, as If re-
gretting the good old days, now almost
forgotten. Somebody asked him If that
wore what he was thinking about,
"No," he said, slowly. "I was think-
in' o' that yap I was tellln' about, that
ast me so many questions. When I
told him about the Peters twins, he
grinned like a cat, an' he says:
" 'I was thlnkln' first off, most like-
ly you was Ivln*. but I know that story
Is true, 'cause I was the pasty faced
man.' " ^^__

Los Angeles Times: T. P. O'Conner,
the Irish leader, began a brilliant
after-dinner speech In Philadelphia In
this way:
"I must confess that I dread to maka
after-dinner speeches. At the most
sumptuous dinners, even at such a
dinner as this one, if I know that at
the end I must make a speech, I am
nervous. I have no appetite, I find
little to admire In the best efforts of
the chef.
"In truth, gentlemen, I can readily

THE DULUTH EVENING HERALD: JiilONDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1906.
Tomorrow!
The end of which Is the beginning of
all Joy and gladness has come.
If you did not get It done before. It
Is almost too late now, but not quite.
The florists remain.
There is nothing quite so grand and
lovely as the florist's window this
morning. Great blazing", beautiful
azelias fairly glow with the gracious-
ness and beauty of the Christmas
•eason, and one of these lovely plants
event sent as a duty gift must bring
to a household the peace and dignity
and wonder of Christmas time. For
although you have hurried and fretted
and stewed and furrowed your brow
with wrinkles, Christmas is beauti-
ful and wonderful, and although there
Is no tendency on the part of this
column to preach Dickens sermon
hawling in Scrooge and Tiny Tim,
there is nothing in the whole wide
world, when you come to think of it,
more lovely than Tiny Tim's "God
Bless us Every One."
Sentiment fairly oozes out of one
when Tiny Tim and his all embracing
blessing Is thought of. But to return
to the florist and your belated Christ-
mas gift. Azelias with red or deep
pink blossoms are beautiful. Begonias
with round and delicate green leaves
and a riot of blossoms are all that
are to be desired, and the grandest
pan of so many of these things are
the names that have been added unto
them. One begonia which Is a soft
pink benediction In itself is called a
Gloria de la reine. Isn't that nice?
And then there are violets. Almost
all tliat are shown in the local stores
are grown along the Hudson in New
York. They are great double purple
things that are exquisite. Coming this
long distance most of the delicate
fragrance is gone, but there still
remains that subtle spring atmosphere
that makes ona think of the joyous
grurgle of brooks and rills after a win-
ter of hushed conversation, and warm,
8oft, moist, rich earth and soft, blue,
downy, bunches of clouds, which the
feel of a violet in December makes on©
Bee as vividly as though one were right
Jn the midst of it all. These violets
that are ihown are "Marie Louise,"
suggestive, lovely name, and they cost
—but never mind.
Great Mexican poinsetta and ex-
quisite green ferns and other delightful
and beautiful things are there, and
one of the very charming features are
the Christmas bonnets which the
florists puts on them. A potted plant is
set Into a graceful woveA hat or
covering In a shade to match the
blossoms and tied with ribbon, and
they are the dearest looking thingsl
You better go and have a look even
though your money is all gone and
you can't have any, merely the com-
mercial rows of beauty will put in
tune with the real and Joyous Christ-
mas spirit.
Merry Christmas!

''The exhilaration of the Christma.s
market is invigorating," said one mar-
ket man this morning, and "we're as
busy as the de — dickens," said anoth-
er. And of course they are. Half the
folks in town who could have ordered
cranberries and nuts and other keep-
ables a week ago left it all until this
morning, and the market men were
more than hustling.
The market is lovely. You never
saw such pretty things and the shiny
purplish red egg plants are among the
nicest things, but the lemons, plump
and juicy and beautiful colored, and
the tangerine oranges and luscious
looking grapes and nice figs and
buckets full of candy and turkeys and
all the other things which if you have
not ordered yet you will not have, are
there in abundance and beauty.
mmiMC-
a-goln' to hurt," she repeated, and once
more turned her attention to tlie plat-
form.
The new minister was speaking en-
thusiastically, yearning to move this
lettiarglc people. The boy listened with
face alight. Through the long hours
of his childhood he had sat in the
sunshine and dreamed of great deeds.
With the awakened impulses of youth,
he had tramped the forests and won-
dered what life meant to the men who
were not of the mountains. And now
he knew, for the minister was voicing
the doctrine of endeavor. It was not
emotion that made the world better,
but energy; one must not only dream,
but one must do. The great men were
those who were faithful in the little
things.
"Remember that tonight we make
merry," he said, finally, "but in the
year to come we must work— work for
the souls that are within the fold; and
as the shepherd cares for his sheep,
so must we care for those who are
astray."
"As the shepherd cares for his sheep."
The words struck the boy with the
force of a blow. He half rose in ills
seat, but the girl reached out a re-
straining hand.
"Stay," she commanded, but the boy
looked at her witli unseeing eyes.
"I go to find my sheep," he said, and
left her.
He found them in a close gray bunch
against the shed. The wind howled
around them, and the snow piled over
them, and those that were nearest the
door stumbled in stiffly when the boy
unlocked it.
Inside was a rude fireplace, and wood
was piled boside it. The boy built a
great fire, and the flock, retreating be-
fore the blaze, lay down on the trod-
den straw with soft sounds of content.
Then the boy brought in two weak
ewes, and laid them close to the flames,
and watched tliem anxiously until they
revived and staggered back to their
fellows.
For a long time after that the boy
sat in front of the fire and thouglit of
the girl. She would go home with his
rival, and they would part at the door.
The boy's face flushed and his hand
clenched as he thought of tlie parting.
Would she —
He rose and went to the door, and
flung it open. Outside the stars were
blotted out, the w nd raged and the
snow whirled. He felt as if between
him and the girl there was the barrier
of an unknown world. He liad done his
duty, and she had not understood. If
she cast him off for that, let lier go.
He had cared for his sheep!
He went in and laid down in front of
the flre, with his great coat drawn
over him.
"Let her go, let her go," sang the
roaring flame. "Let her go, let her go,"
raged the wind outside. Then came
tlie soft consolation from within. "You
cared for tlie slieep, you cared for the
sheep."
And so he fell asleep and was com-
forted, but his checks were wet.
In the morning he broke a path down
X'o-i: mountain. The sun shone and the
sky was blue and the world sparkled
after tlie storm. When he reached a
certain clearing he stopped and looked
over the glistening expanse toward the
girl's house. Suddenly his eye was
caught by a flash of pink. Through that
white, white world the girl v/as com-
ing to meet hlml
As she came up, he put out both
hands and took her sm.aller ones in his.
"I had to go," he said.
The girl felt a new dignity In his
mann<-r. She blushed and trembled,
thon her lips quivered. "I went home
with pap," she sobbed, her cheek
against his coat.
Into his face came all the tender-
ness of awakened manhood; his rough
fingers laid back a little curl that blew
about her white temple, his voice
thrilled.
'I'm glad you didn't go home with
Jed," he said, simply, "an* that you
knew just how I was a-feelin'."
She did not know, would never
know, what th.it night had meant to
him, for it la not given to such women
to touch the depths of a man's soul
experience; but she knew love, and so
he missed nothing, as In the stillness
of the perfect Christmas morning she
raised her radiant face to his.

RACE ON FOR POOR FARM
(Continued from page 1.)
A SHEPHERD'S
CHRISTMAS
By Temple Bailey.
(Copyright. 1906, by Joseph B. Bowles.)
The boy's lantern glowed like a will-
o'-the-wisp as he came down the dark
mountain path to the little church.
Soon other lanterns joined his, and
now and then the flickering lights play-
ed on the bright dress of a girl or the
eager face of a child, but for the most
part the shadowy figures gave no hint
of race or degree, until at last tlie
little crowd gathered Into a poorly
lighted room, where the flare of an oil
lamp showed a motley gathering of
country people, a few rude benches, a
platform screened by a curtain of Tur-
key red, and an attempt at decoration
which resulted in beauty because noth-
ing could spoil the vividness of the

mountain holly or the grace of the
ground pine.
As the boy slouched toward a seat a
girl stopped him. She wore a pink
knitted hood, and her cheeks rivaled
tile color of her head-covering.
"Merry Ciiris'mus," she said, and
gave him a coiiuettish glance from
her bright eyes as he returned her
greeting.
The boy walked by her side a little
awkwardly, but unafraid. He was 19,
and he lived on the hills. It was the
lime for love, and the girl was hi.s
chosen mate. After the festivities they
would go up the dark path together,
and he would kiss her at the door of
her father's cabin, and that would be
their betrothal.
They sat together on the front bench
and read from the same hymn book.
The boy sang softly. He would not let
out his voice in the little room; it was
only on the mountain top tliat the deep
tones rang like a bell as he chanted a
wild song to his sheep.
The thought of the sheep brought
uneasiness. Up there on the mountain
his flock lay waiting for him to come
and open to them tiie shelter of their
shed, but the temptation to go a-pleas-
urlng had been great, and the smile
of the pink-cheeked girl, the music, the
lights, the compiinionshlp had lured :
him from the lonely watch under the
stars.
Then the girl whispered to him, and
he forgot care, until a little later an
outer door opened, and a man step-
ped in, his shoulders white with glist-
ening flakes.
"It's snowin'," said the boy.
The girl nodded, but kept her eyes
on the stage, where four sn.all girls
recited a Chrl.stmas poem In unison.
Again the boy's thoughts flew to the
mountain, where the snow was blowing
and curling and drifting against a
closed door, and where the patient
flock, nose to nose and body to body
for warmth, bleated for the shepherd
who did not come.
At last he moved restlessly. "I've
got to go," he said.
"No, you hain't," her voice pleaded.
"It's a fearful storm," he whispered.
"Hear the wind, an' the sheep are
out."
"They hain't a-goin' to hurt," she
whispered back, 'an' you got to go
home with me."
"Vour pap's here," he said.
"If you don't stay," and now .<!he
threatened querulously, "if you don't
stay. I'll go home with Jod."
The boy looked at her, at her rosered
:heeks. at her blue eyes, at the thin
line of her scarlet lips. "But the
sheep," he said, uncertainly.
She smiled, sure now of her con-
quest. "I tell you them sheep hain't

Mr. Moore was 63 years of age at the

been in good health. He had been busy
most of the day In his ofllce, straight-

the new year. At noon Mrs. Moore
tcilephoned him, and said that she
would come down and join him for
lunch, but he stated that he was not
hungry, and that he had so much
work to do that he would not take the
time to go out for lunch. He returned
home about 5:30 In the evening, and
had a light lunch In his apartments.

lease was taken. In September Gil-
bert negotiated a sale of his interest
to the St3el corporation at an ad-
vance of $35,000. Drilling was com-
menced shortly afterwards, but up to
this time has not progressed so far
that the steel trust is willing to ac-
cept the property.
It was made plain to members of
the board that if the property was
worth $100,000 to the Steel corporation
that concern would pay the county
that amount as readily as some in-
dividual. In this connection it was
admitted by the attorney representing
both Gilbert and the Steel corpora-
tion that it knew it had no rights
in the premlsse after Jan. 1, 1907,
under the original agreement.
No consideration was paid for the
original lease, and no consideration
was offered the commissioners for an
extension, other than an agreement
to continue exploring the property.
The members voting for an exten-
sion were: Lang, Mulllns and
O'Brien. The last two live south of
the division line between Itasca coun-
ty and the new county of Koochi-
ching. Lang is at International Falls,
and It Is declared that his partici-
pation in the meeting last week was
Illegal.
Governor Johnson Issued the procla-
mation on Dec. 19, but this fact was
not officially known in Grand Rapids
until after the meeting. Under the
law It Is said the action of the gov-
ernor Is sufficient In itself to bring
about a division of the county, and
if this is so, the claim Is made that
Lang's vote was illegal. If it was,
there does not remain a majority of
the board, as Commissioners Passard
and Tone are strongly against the !
granting of additional favors. Com-
missioner Tone did not reach Grand
Rapldss until the 3 o'clock train In
the afternoon, and the board refused
to wait for his arrival, although
Commissioner Passard moved a post-
ponement of the poor farm matter
until a meeting of the full board
could be had.
In view of the issuance of the proc-
lamahon, County Auditor Spang, as
clerk of the board, will not sign the
extension which was voted by the
three members named, nor attach
the official seal of the county.
Such rights as the Steel cori>ora-
tlon may have under the original
agreement will not expire until mid-
night of Dec. 31, and in the hope
that enough may be developed to
warrant purchase by that time, work
is being rushed with ail possible
speed.
He was apparently In good spirits and
feeling well at that time, but about
7 o'clock he was seized with violent
pains in his ches:, and told Mrs. Moore
that he was suffering from acute in-
digestion. He asked for some peper-
mint, which Mrs. Moore gave him, but
it did not relieve him. He then drank
some warm water, but this only
served to Induce nausea, which was
followed by a severe chill. While his
wife was preparing hot cloths to wrap
about his throat, he dropped back In
his chair and ex]ilred.
Drs. Arthur Plitchle and Horatio
Walker, who live in the neighborhood,
were summoned, but they stated that
death had probobly been Instantaneous.
While Mr. Moore had not been ill
previous to his death, he had not been
without warning of his condition. On
numerous occasicns he had complained
of pains in his chest, and of shortness
of breath after a climb up Twelfth
avenue east from Superior street to
First street.
Mr. Moore was born at Danville,
111., In 1843, and received his early edu-
cation there. Later he entered Dart-
mouth college ana graduated from that
Institution. He came to Duluth in
1880, and for a time was engaged in
the lumber business, being employed
by R. L. Henry. Later he was secre-
tary of the Duluth Lumber company.
In 1885 he ran for mayor of Duluth and
was elected, serving one term. He was
appointed collector of customs under
Mr. Cleveland's first term as president,
and also served as state weighmaster
under CJovernor John Lind.
Three years a.?o he was elected to
the position of secretary of the Duluth
board of trade, which position he
held until his death.
Mr. Moore was a prominent member
of the Duluth Commandry, Knights
Templar. He leaves a wife and two
sisters, Mrs. John Putman of Fort
Worth, and Mrs. Frank Derrick of
Broadhead, Wis.
The services will be held this after-
noon at 3:30 o'cJock at the residence,
by Rev. A. W. Ryan. The members
of the board of trade, and the members
of the commancery will attend in a
body. The remains will be shipped
over the Omaha, at f>:30 p. m., to
Broadhead, Wis., where burial will
take place.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S
MESSAGE DENOUNCED
(Continued from page 1.)
Chinese. Naturlzed, as proposed by
Presfdent Roosevelt, he said, they
would come to California In such
numbers, that they would not only
soon control the state by their votes,
but would make inroads into the
prosperity of tht country.
The resolutions follow In part:
"Resolved, that we insist upon, and
shall to the limit of our power main-
tain, our rights under the constitu-
tion of California, and as a matter
of practical necessity and mental
wellbeing of our people, to segregate
the pupils in the schools in such
manner as reason and experience
shall dictate.
"Resolved, that we resent the presi-
dent's threats of compulsion by armed
force In a matter clearly within the
pur\'lew of municipal and state
authority, as Insulting to the state
and as an intolerable reflection upon
its rights as a sovereign constituent
of the United S:ates.
"Resolved, that we are opposed to
the president's recommendations that
an act be passed specifically provid-
ing for the naturalization of the Ja-
panese.
"Resolved, that the powers vested In
the federal government by the respec-
tive states are designed for use in
protecting the latter, and any attempt
or threats to use these powers to pre-
vent or obstruct the freest possible
exercise of the rights and functions
must be regarded as an act of usurpa-
tion, menacing the freedom of the
American people.
"Resolved, that we deny and protest
against leading features of Secretary
Metcalf's report to President Roose-
velt as unjust, untrue and misleading.
"Resolved, that the report of Sec-
retary Metcalf is utterly unworthy in
every particular, the same being ob-
viously one sided and grossly exag-
gerated, and we hereby express our
lack of confidence in Secretary Met-
calf, who has sought to betray our in-
terests,"
POPE PIUS WILL REJECT LAW
(Continued from page 1.)
French government has not sent a
telegraphic circular to its representa-
tives abroad in answer to the protest
of the holy see concerning the search-
ing of the nunciature at Paris and the
expulsion of Mgr. Montagnini, but
merely communicated with the diplo-
mats accredited to Paris.
The Vatican now does not conceal
the fact that the important documents
in the nuniciature were transferred,
long before the search was made, to
the embassy of a Catholic power.
While It is not known to what embassy
they were taken, it is known It , was
not that of Italy. It is supposed they
were conveyed to the Austrian em-
bassy. It is also stated, that the
cipher code confiscated, was that used
during the time Mgr. Clari was the
papal nuncio at Paris and was obso-
lete.
Twenty-five anti-Clerical clubs^ and
several Socialist, Republican and
Radical members of the chamber of
deputies have decided to promote
great anti-Cierlcal demonstrations,
with processions to be held the same
day throughout Italy, and also to
celebrate the anniversary of the death
of Giordano Bruno, the Italian phil-
osopher, who, because of his dis-
belief in the doctrine; of tra:is-sub-
stantlatlon and of the immaculate
conception of Mary, was burned at
the stake as a heretic in the Campo
Dei Fiori at Rome, Feb. 17. 1600.
as the basis, the new rate on hard
coal., from the Head of the Lakes to
St. Paul is 90 cents per ton, as against j
$1.25, the former rate. On soft coal j
it is 85 cents, against $1.09.
From Duluth to Pipestone, a termin-
al point, the new rate is $1.76, against
$2.25, the former rate.
On wheat and coarse grains a maxi-
mum rate of 10 and 8.8 cents is provid-
ed for all points in the Red River
valley to Minneapolis and the Head of
. the Lakes. From Pipestone to Min-
neapolis the new rate is 8.9 and 7.8
cents, as against 10.5 and 10 cents.
There is a reduction of nearly 50
per cent on lumber for a distance of
310 miles. For a 200 mile haul the
rate is reduced from 16.51 to 10.1 cents.
On live stock the cut does not average
over 5 per cent. For a 200 mile haul
the reduction is from 17.75 cents to 15
cents.
Present minimum weights are to re-
main in efCect. When rates for exact
distances are not shown, the rates for
the next greater distance are to
govern.
WOMAN WAS HISUWOING.
Truth of British Ambassador Durand's
Recall Leaks Out.
Washington. Dec. 24.— The secret of the
recall of Sir Henry Mortimer Durand,
the British ambassador, finally Is out,
and, as the story is gaining circulation,
it is producing a tremendous sensation
in Washington. He was sacrificed to the
intriguing of a woman of liigh rank
connected with the British embassy. Her
Influence was strong enough in royal
circles to bring about the recall of the
ambassador and probably to make certain
ills retirement from the diplomatic serv-
ice. It Is the Storer Instance over again,
with a British setting.
The woman who worked the mischief to
Sir Mortimer cut a most remarkable fig-
ure in Washington e<Kitty last winter.
Because of her high rank she looked with
disdain upon the Durdans. She wished
to control the embassy. Local rebuke
came to her after she had said: "The
greatest circuses in America, are the
White House entertainments." She made
fun of Secretary Taft, Gen. Oliver, the
assistant secretary of war; Justice Oliver
Wendell Holmes, Senator Lodge, Senator
Hale, Vice President and Mrs. Fairbanks.
This woman left WasWngton after hav-
ing said, speaking of the Durands, that
British prestige would siifCer "as lung as
such people purport to represent his ma-
jesty in Washington."

Rcme, Dec. 24.— The members of the
Sacred college went in a body today
to the pope to present their Christ-
mas greetings. The pontiff received
them in his private library, and con-
versed cordially with all the distin-
guished prelates, especially with Car-
dinal Oreglia, dean of the college.
The chief topic of conversation was
the situation in France. The pope
said that the church will not flinch
from the attitude It has taken, no
more concessions being possible, but
he hoped that the violence and per-
secution would soon result In better
times.
Addressing the cardinals, in answer
to their congratulations, the pope
said he was sorry he had no good
news for them, alluding to the situa-
tion of church affairs in France, and
said he wished he and the whole
Sacred college were in France to
share the persecution of the clergy.
He was consoled, however, by the
solidarity of the French episcopacy,
and also by the approbation of the
bishops throughout the world, and
trusted in the ultimate triumph of the
church.
Referring to the anti-Clerical dem-
onstrations in Italy, the pontiff ex-
pressed regret that so many soldiers,
detained to guard the Vatican night
and day, were exposed to the In-
clemency of the elements.
Paris, Dec. 24. An official note was
issued this afternoon announcing that
the statements published abroad, to
the effect that the French govern-
ment sent a note to the powers, in
anticipation of the protest from the
Vatican against the expulsion of Mgr.
Montagini, was absoltely false.

Newsies Receive Big
Profits Through Gen-
erosity of People.
When the circulation manager of The
Heiald, announced to the newsboys Satur-
day evening that they were to receive all
their papers for that day free of charge,
as a Christmas gift from three business
men of Duluth, the shout of Joy that
arose made the typewriter keys in tho
editorial room above Jiggle witli alarm.
The givers were too modest to be on
hand themselves, or elee too busy, or
both, but it they had been in the dis-
tributing room at the time they would
have felt many times repaid lor their
thoughtful kindness. Every boy had
Lome thing to say of their genorsity, and
v.'herever the men were their cars must
have burned surprisingly.
There was a great crush for the papers.
The newsies were told that The Heradd
would be open untii well along mto tha
evening, but, regardless of this tact ali
til'; little merchants took more than their
u^?ual allotment of papers on the tirst
trip. Practically all of them returned
lor more, and some made three and four
trips, for the news went abroad that the
papers were free to the boys, and It
seemed ajj if everybody were buying, and
the majority stood ready to pay three
of four times the regular price tor their
papers.
Here are a few of the expressions culled
from the hundreds immediately following
the announcement:
"Dem guys w'at's givln' us de poips is
mellow peaches from de sunny Sout'."
"Give 'em a merry Christmas fer me,
v/ill you, Pink?"
"Dcy's Co best w'at ever happened."
"T'ell yu say."
"Give me i>7; I dassent ask fer 100."
"How many are you goin' to get,
Skinney?"
"Hey, w'at's de matter; I'm short ten."
Some great stories were told by the re-
turning boy.<<. Two told how they en-
tered a Superior street saloon and sold
their thirty papers for \\. They got an-
other batch and sold them to the same
man for 50 cents, netting each 75 cents.
Another hustler disposed of twenty papers
in a single restaurant, at fancy prices. All
the boys made money "hand over tlst," as
the saying goes, and hundreds of poor
homes will be made brighter tomorrow In
consequence. Several thousand extra
papers were run off the presses to supply
the demand.

HE CAN TEMPER COPPER.
0!d Koodsntan Oeciares He Has Stam-
bied Upon Lost Art
Ladysmith, Wis., Dec. 24.— William
Gerard, an old hunter and woodsman,
who lives on a homestead near Duc-
comen's Rapids, says he has discovered
a way to temper copper. He has been
working to this end for fifteen years,
and many times almost gave up In
despair.
Recently Mr. Gerard was making a
test and became vexed by repeated
failures. While In this mood, and by
an act resulting therefrom, he dis-
covered what he says is the long-lost
art. He Immediately set about making
tests and fashioned a spring for his
rifle. After shaping the piece of pure
copper he tempered it and Inserted it
in his rifle after removing the steel
spring therefrom. Then he fined the
gun several times and found that the
nev/ spring worked fuly as well as the
steel one which he had removed.
Mr. Gerard w.as in Ladysmith Satur-
day and exhibited the copper gun
spring, but was careful hot to divulge
the secret process by which it was a<!-
cidentally tempered. Copper Is a soft
metal, and If it can be tempered so
that It can be used in places exposed to
dampness, the discovery will be a valu-
aljle one.

"FALSE ALARM" FORAKER.
A Washington dispatch in The Herald Saturday night
told how, from now on, the candidacy of Joseph Benson
Foraker for the presidency is to be pushed determined-
ly. Foraker's friends, said the dispatch, hope to make a
great deal out of his attack on President Roosevelt over
the discharge of the Twenty-fifth infantry.
This is very diverting and highly entertaining news.
We shall watch with vast interest the waxing of the
Foraker boom for the presidency, it there is a man in
the United States that is less likely to become president
than any one else, that man is Senator Foraker. There-
fore we shall watch the growth of his presidential boom
with something of the anticipation with which one
watches results when a practical joker sets off a cannon
firecracker under the chair of an unsuspecting individual.
As to his chances for securing a nomination on the
race issue, it is hardly conceivable that we have reached
the point yet where we are willing to set all other press-
ing issues aside, and hold a campaign on the issue of
color. With all due respect to the colored brother, For-
aker would get about as many delegates in the North as
a champion of the colored race as he would in the solid
South.
And, so far as the general public is concerned, quite
enough has been said about the discharge of the Twenty-
fifth infantry. That incident is closed. These men
were discharged from the service because some of them
disgraced their uniforms and betrayed the nation by in-
dulging in riot and murder, and because the rest of them
refused to testify against those who did participate in
these outrages. By shielding rioters and murderers, the
remainder of the battalion became equally guilty and
equally deserving of punishment. No useful army could
be built up under conditions wherein such outrages
against civilization, and such gross violations of army
discipline, could go unwhipped by justice. The fact that
incidentally these soldiers were colored men cuts abso-
lutely no figure. If they had been white the incident
would have been forgotten weeks ago, but they would
have been discharged just the same.
If Senator Foraker and his friends think his zeal
for these soldiers, justly discharged for sufficient cause,
is going to conceal his greater zeal for the corporate in-
terests of the land, they are very much mistaken. The
memory of his determined defense of the railroads when
the whole country wanted tliem regulated by federal
authority is entirely too fresh in the public mind. He
showed himself there in his true colors, as the champion
of predatory corporations, and in that light his chances
of becoming president are so remote as to have disap-
peared completely on the horizon of oblivion.
Some years ago somebody called Mr. Foraker "Fire
Alarm" Foraker. In view of this sudden presidential
boom, born of his championship of an unworthy cause,
it seems high time to change that to "False Alarm"
Foraker.
AFRAID OF THE CARS.
If those members of the national house of represen-
tatives who voted down the proposed increase of con-
gressional salaries from $5,ooo to $7,500 did so in the
hope of currying favor with their constituents, they are
doomed to disappointment, in most cases.
What they feared, if they had voted for the measure,
was that there would be an outburst of reproach at
home, and that they would be condemned for selfishly
extravagant use of public money, even though the in-
crease was not to begin until the present term had
closed.
As a matter of fact, a careful investigation of expres-
sions on this subject in newspapers and elsewhere all
over the country shows that the increase had general
approval, that there is little or no reproach for those
members that voted for it, and that a lot of fun is being
poked at those members who voted against it.
The general idea seems to be that most of those that
voted in the negative did so not because they did not
think the increase was just, but because they lacked the
courage of their convictions; in other words, that they
were short on nerve.
One member, in advocating the increase, charged this
against his colleagues who opposed it, and said that
there would not be a man that voted against it that
would not hope, in his heart, that it would pass without
his vote. He was right, for there was not a single mem-
ber of the house that did not realize that $5,ooo is too
little, and that if a congressman is not worth $7,500 to his
country he is not worth $S,ooo.
This, from the Houston, Tex., Post, is fairly repre-
sentative of the newspaper expression over the country,
though of course there are a few exceptions that ap-
proved the action of those who voted down the increase:
When the amendment to the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill Increasing con-
gressional salaries was submitted to a vote of the
house, two Texas members voted for it. To these
two gentlemen The Post extends the assurance or
Its most distinguished consideration. It admires
their courage in frankly voting for a measure they
believed to be right and It respects their intelli-
gence in assuming that their constituents would
not take offense at a vote courageously and Intel-
ligently registered.
If the congressmen do not raise their own salaries,
nobody els'e is going to, so it rests entirely with them.
But if they think they are likely to perpetuate their terms
of office, to make themselves any more solid with the
people by such a painful truckling to a public sentiment
that does not exist, they are very much mistaken.

THE LEGISLATURE.
Within a short time the Minnesota legislature will
meet again, for the thirty-fifth session in its history. Un-
less advance indications are misleading, it will be the
most notable gathering in the history of the state, for
matters of vast importance will come up for action. The
Ugislature has an unusually large proportion of new
members, the largest in many years, and what it will do
with the problems before it cannot be forecasted with
any degree of accuracy.
Reform measures designed to bring about an equal-
Ixation of economic conditions between the people and
the great corporations they have created and to whose
fatness they are contributing will be up, and on several
Buch measures a majority of both houses appears to
be pledged in advance to affirmative action. Even so
revolutionary, though altogether logical and desirable,
a change as the adoption of the initiative and refer-
endum system of legislation has a fair show of passage,
the labor interests of the state having pledged many
members to its support.
In regard to internal improvement, Northern Minne-
sota comes into the legislature this time with larger
needs than it has ever pressed before. Handicapped by
numerical inferiority, thanks to an antiquated and inade-
quate legislative representation, it has, to offset this
disadvantage, arguments based on sound reason and good
business judgment. First, to end this unfair repre-
sentation, Northern Minnesota wants the state reappor-
tioned into new legislative districts, and in this it will
have the support of the Twin Cities, which stand to
gain by a fair representation. It will also have the sup-
port of fair-minded men from other parts of the state,
even among those sections that stand to lose represen-
tation by an equitable rearrangement.
Drainage, the expenditure of state funds to attract
Immigration, the more liberal sale of state lands and
the expansion of the good roads movement, are the prin-
ciple lines of action upon which Northern Minnesota
will move.
These are not in any sense sectional demands, for
though they will directly and immediately aflfect North-
em Minnesota first, indirectly and secondly they will
benefit the entire state. Vast areas of land in Northern
Minnesota are unsettled, and therefore contribute noth-
ing to the growth of the state, and bear no share of
the expenses of government. By the means above out-
lined, these lands should be settled, in order that they
may help pay their share of the expenses of the state, to
the relief of all other parts of the state that are now
bearing more than their share of these expenses because
they are more thickly settled.
The single matter of drainage offers the state a vast
field for profitable investment. Lands now worth noth-
ing can, by a modest expenditure per acre, be made im-
m«diately marketable at a price sereral times the cost
BAD BUT LAWFUL WHISKY.
The federal pure food law goes into effect Jan. I,
and already it is being felt. Food manufacturers are
preparing their output that will reach the trade after the
first of the year with reference to its provisions, and
even now, if you are observant, you will notice a dif-
ference in the labels on your food packages.
If the law is effective, the word "pure" and similar
catch-trade devices on the labels, will no longer be used
indiscriminately. They must tell the truth if they are
used, and if they are fraudulently used the manufacturers
and dealers will have to reckon with the government.
As the Minnesota legislature is about to con-vene,
and as it will doubtless be called upon to ^ make
some changes in the Minnesota pure food laws, its at-
tention may well be called to the rulings of the federal
authorities on the provisions of the new federal law.^
For instance, Minnesota's law is very weak in refer-
ence to whisky. It permits the foulest kinds of imposi-
tions on the public, and there are made and sold in Du-
luth and other cities evil compounds labelled "whisky"
that have no more right to that name than a prescrip-
tion compounded in a drug store. These mixtures are in-
jurious mentally, morally and physically, and a large
percentage of violent crimes are due to their sale.
For these reasons, the legislature should take notice
of the attitude of the federal authorities toward liquor
vastly superior to much of that which infests Minnesota.
Recently, to find out how the government authorities
stood, a manufacturer sent in two samples which he
proposed to label "blended whisky," and asked if he
would be permitted to do so. One was composed of 5t
per cent of Bourbon whisky and 49 per cent of alcohol,
with burnt sugar for coloring and prune juice for flavor-
ing. The other sample contained 51 per cent of neutral
spirits— alcohol— and 49 per cent of Bourbon whisky,
with burnt sugar and prune juice as in the first one.
The authorities held that these compounds could not
be labelled either "whisky" or "blended whisky." They
did not state what the proper label would be, but they
did state most emphatically that the mixture of doc-
tored "neutral spirits" with genuine whisky constitutes
"a spurious imitation," which is prohibited by the new
law.
Though these samples were vastly better than most
of the rectified liquor sold in Minnesota, under the
Minnesota law it is perfectly legal to sell worse than
these over any bar in the state.
To be labelled "whisky," liquor must be really
whisky; that is, the product of the still. To mix two
kinds of whiskies is to produce "blended whisky," whicK
is permitted if properly labelled. But to mix alcohol,
coloring and flavoring matters and a small amount of
real whisky, is illegal, and punishable under the federal
law. It should be the same under the Minnesota law,
and the legislature should see that it is.

Joined in the frolic. A large -Christmas
tree was prepared by Misses Lydia Far-

with gifts. Every one in the settlement
sent tlieir gifts to the schoolhouse, to
be distributed by the genial St. Nick,
who was impersonated by Mr. Tidd.
At S o'clock, when the festivities be-
gan, about seventy-flve people were
gathered at the schoolhouse and were
entertained by a program of music,
recitations and dialogues given by the
carefully drilled pupils of Miss Fargu-
sironi. Tliere was much to reflect to
the credit of Miss Fargustrom.
•After the program had been given,

' grand distribution. The tree was hand-
somely decorated, the trimmings being
the contribution of J. Henry Miller, Sr.
Tlie candy and fruit were furnished by

THE JAPANESE
ARE ARRIVING
In

Hawaii at Rate
600 to 1,000 a
Month.
of
Washington, Dec. 24.— Immigration
Commissioner Sargent was at his desk
today, after a trip of several weeks,
during which he visited the Immigra-
tion stations at Honolulu and San
Francisco. While he was at Honolulu,
1,379 Portugese Immigrants from Fun-
chal and Madeira arrived there. Com-
missioner Sargent superintended their
landing, and before he left many of
•( thom had secured employment.
V Mr. Sargent, who went to Honolulu
at the special request of President
Roosevelt, to be present at the landing
of Portuguese Immigrants, called on
the president later in the day.
"There are probably 60,000 Japanese
In the Hawaiian islands," said Mr.
• % Sargent, "and they are arriving there
€it the rate of from 6'X) to 1,000 a month.
The new arrivals do not remain long
on the islands, however, and soon go
to the Pacific coast. They are leaving
in large numbers by each steamer. In
the last twelve months 12,060 Japanese
have gone from the Hawaiian islands
to the mainland of this country."
Mr. Sargent was a.'^ked why the
Japanese first go to Hawaii. He ex-
pUiined it by saying that, as he under-
■^ stood the case, the Japanese govern-
ment does not issue passports to the
United States proper, as it is unaware
whether its citizens could get work
here, but the fact that there is a de-
mand for laborers in Hawaii induces
the i.ssue of passports to the islands.
Mr. Sargent admitted there was con-
" siderable feeling again-st the Japanese
In niany portions of the islands, as
— their labor is cheaper and their mer-
chants are underselling the American
merchants in tlie islands and taking

HEROIC ACT OF
MRS. PATTERSON
Resulted in Saving Lives
of Ten Shipwrecked
Sailors.
Washington, Dec. 24.— The Ameri-
can consul at Victoria, in reporting
to the state department the loss of
the American barkentine Coloma of
San Francisco, which occurred off
Vancouver island, on Dec. 7, gives a
graphic story of the rescue of the
crew. The report says:
"After the crew had been strug-
gling in the water for twelve hours,
their signals of distress were seen
early in the morning by the light-
house keeper at Cape Beale, Van-
couver Island, and the keeper's wife,
Mrs. Minnie Patterson, started for
Bamfield, five miles away, where the
British steamer Quadra fortunately
had steam up and put out at once
to rescue the men of the Coloma. The
sea was very rough, but all ten of
the shipwrecked crew were rescued
by the volunteers of the Quadra.
"Special praise Is due to Mrs. Pat-
terson, whose trip to Bamfield was
one of most heroic exertion. It
took her four hours of hard struggle
to make the trip, which completely
exhausted her. The path over which
she had to go was nothing more than
a trail, and the heavy weather had
made It very wet. A man who went
over it a day or two later described
it as little better than a bog, and said
he wore out a pair of shoes In mak-
ing the trip and tore his clothes bad-
ly."
ABSOLUTE DISBARMENT
Of State's Attorney of Clark County,
111., Is Ordered.
Springfield. 111., Dec. 24.— The supreme
court today made an order of absolute
disbarment against Richard C. S. Reaugh,
state's attorney of Clark county, be-
cause Reaugh has knowledge that H. M.
Bradford, claim agent of the Baltimore
& Ohio-Southwestern Railway company,
was endeavoring to secure $10,000 from
parties in the Huddleson will case, claim-
ing that he could secure an opinion in
the supreme court favorable to the par- j
ties, and Ijecause Reaugh aid not use this
knowledge the court says, in an effort
to bring the guilty ones to justice.
William Huddleson, a wealthy resident
of Clay county, left all his property,
consisting of lands, etc., to the value of
about $100,000 to Ewing Baptist college.
Ewlng. 111., and the American Baptist
association of Philadelphia. Suit was
brought by the Huddleson heirs to break
the will. As a result of the suit, the
Clay county court found that the will
was void. The supreme court, at-the Oc-
tober term of court, sustained the deci-
sion of the lower court.

twenty days because he refused to

was claimed that Gazella promised to
pay for his transportation with labor.
Park Trees Are Saved.
The activity of the police department
has prevented, this year, the despolia-
tion of the city parks by boys and men
in search of Christmas trees. In previ-
ous years tliere have been a large
number of young spruce trees cut down
and the tops have been cut out of other
trees without regard to the fact that
such practice was in violation of the
rules of the park board. This year the
board forestalled the boys by having
special officers to watch the parks.

team drawing a sleigh belonging to the
Stewart lYansfer company, got in the
way of Duluth-Superlor car No. 164 at
Fourth avenue. The frcnt part of the
sleigh was struck, and serarated from the
remainder. The horses ran away but
stopped when one of their number fell
down half a block up the hill. Neither
sleigh, driver nor horses were much hurt.

STRIKE OF FIREMEN
On Southern Pacific Only Slightly Felt
in North Texas.
Dallas, Texas, Dec. 24. — Apparently
the strike of firemen on the Southern
Pacific is but slightly felt in North
Texas. The Houston & Texas Central
is not seriously affected, and the Texas
& New Orleans railroad has but few
men located in Dallas. These two roads
form part of the Atlantic division of
the iLOUthern Pacific system. Today's
Texas & New Orleans through train
was reported four hours late. It was
said that the train carried nothing but
United States mail cars. Railway men
declare that on Friday about forty
men were brought to Dallas to break
the sti-ike. These men have all been
given employment.
El Paso, Texas, Dec. 24. — About fifty
firemen on the Atlantic division of the
Southern Pacific are striking here for
B cents an hour increase and control
of the switch engines. The engineers
are fighting them in this, and it is
said other unions are with the engi-
neers. There has been no delay to the
trains and engineers are breaking In
new firemen.
PAPER MILLS DAMAGED.
Loss of $75,000 is Caused at Stevens
Point. Wis.
Milwaukee, Dec. 24.— A Daily News
special from Stevens Point, Wis., says:
The Wisconsin River Pulp & Paper
company sustained heavy loss by fire,
which broke out in the company's
plant today. The fire is supposed to
have originated from a hot box in the
wheel house. The loss is estimated at
$75,000 fully covered by insurance. The
mills are owned by Whiting of Neenah.
MOTION OVERRULED.
Chicago, Dec. 24. — The motion to
take the Shea case from the jury was
overruled by Judge Ball, and Attorney
Daniel Cruice then commenced the
opening statement for the defense.
SNEEZING AND BLE.SSINGS.
The world has always sneezed, and it
has always pro\ided a blessing on itself
for doing so, ever since Prometheus
called one down upon the clay figure
that sneezed when he animated it with
celestial fire, says the London Chronicle.
An old Buckinghamshire rhyme makes
it of Importance to us to notice on which
day of the week we catch cold:
Sneeze on Monday, sneeze for danger;
Sneeze on Tuesday, kiss a stranger;
Sneeze on Wednesday, get a letter;
Sneeze on Thursday, something better;
Sneeze on Friday, sneeze for sorrow;
Saturday, see your true love tomorrow.
ONE SECRET SHE KEPT.
Miss Mary S. Anthony, the sister of
the famous Susan B. Anthony, was talk-
ing about the old, old accusation against
woman that she cannot keep a secret,
says the Kansas City Journal.
"A woman," said Miss Anthony, "can
keep an Important secret as well as a
man. The secrets she reveals are slight
and harmless ones, such as any man
! would reveal. Where Is the woman who
ever tells a secret thai reflects on her
I husband or her own children?
"I know a man who one day refused
' to tell his wife the outcome of a business
transaction in which, naturally, she took
a deep Interest.
" "No." he sneered, "I won't tell you. If
I did, you'd repeat It. You women can
never keep a secret.'
" 'John,' said the woman quietly, 'have
I ever told the secret about the solitaire
engagement ring you gave me eighteen
years' ago being paste?"
TARTAR HOLY WELL.
A holy well, or spring, away up on
a hlllFide near Kazan and overlooking
i the river. Is believed by the Tartar j
j villagers to possess extraordinary
I healing properties, says the Lon^lon
Globe. The spring flows into a rocky
basin about ten feet square and three
deep.
The water is a pure, clear crystal,
sparkling in the sunshine, and the
marvellous thing is that the bottom of
the well is thickly covered witli silver
coins thrown in by sufferers who come
to be cured by the water, to propitiate
the spirit of the well. Although the
tank is only three feet deep and no
watch is kept on the spot, no one has
ever been known to touch or attempt
to take any of the coins.
DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT.
A curious story comes from Ade-
laide. An Afghan murdered his wife,
a wliite woman, cut the body Into
pieces, put them into a bag and drove
off to a river, says the London Chron-
ici-^.
He was In the act of throwing the
bag into the river when the horse,
taking fright, bolted, and actually ran
to the house of the mother of the mur-
dered woman, who set inquiries on
foot v.hlch led to the discovery of the
horror.
WALTZING MICE.
Waltzing mice come from Japan.
They are little mice, sometimes black
and white, sometimes brown and
white, colored in patches like a calioo
horse, says the New York Sun.
They are called waltzing mice be-
cause under some conditions they keep
perpetually going round and round.
Place a pair of waltzing mice in a
glass globe and put the globe in the
light and the mice will go to sleep.
But put the globe in a darker plaoe
and one or both of the mice will run
round and round within it almost in-
ce.ssantly, and with surprising speed.
Waltzing mice sell for $1.60 a pair;
they are bought to amuse children.
PLAGUE OF PORPOISES.
Porpoises have lately appeared In
the north Adriatic in such quantities
as to render the fishermen quite des-
perate, says the Austrian Fishing Ga-
zette. Both the naval authorities and
the various fishing guilds have offered
rewards for the extermination of the
shoals at so much per head. Particu-
larly heavy loss has been occa.sioned at
Grado, where the porpoises swarmed
up the inlets and canals and broke up
all the nets and other gear.
At Monfalcone one of the creatures
created a sensation by roiling Into a
ladles' swimming bath at a time when
it was crowded. An indescribable
panic ensued, under the belief that the
harmless fish was a shark.
WEISS BEER LITTLE DRUNK.
Weiss beer, once a popular drink In
New York, especially among the Platt-
deutsoh population, has almost entirely
disappeared. Here and there In a Ger-
man neighborhood may be found a sa-
loon which keeps welss beer on saie,
but those who call for it are less numer-
ous each year, says the New York Sun.
Weiss beer is a thin lager beer, pro-
duced by rapid fermentation. Lager beer
is produced b.v slow fei mentation. Both
are flavored with hops, but while the sac-
charine properties of lager beer are de-
veloped through the process of manu-
facture, weiss beer Is astringent and It
has long been a theory that it is non-
Intoxlcaling except when taken in very
large quantities.
Weiss beer has been known to have
a sobering effect, and for that reason
has been called Montag beer, or Monday
beer, being a favorite beverage with

''The Company OF the People^ BY the People^ FOR the People.''
Review of 1906 and Announcement for 1907
Bulletin No. 475.— New York, December Sth, 1906.
To ihe Field Force.
GENTLEMEN:
It is our custom to address yow each year at the time of our
annual Superintendents' Convention. Usually this is held about
the middle of January, and the topic of the Bulletin is natur-
ally the Annual Statement of the company. This year the
Superintendents meet in convention the middle of December,
and obviously the record of the year is not made up, and it
would be premature to set forth the progress of the Com-
pany In its business and finances. We shall have something
very pleasant to say to you before we close about what
you have accomplished; but our immediate object is to tell
you about our plans for next year.
INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT.
You have linown from numerous addresses, both oral and
written, what our ambition has been for years In the Indus-
trial part of our business. You will bear us witness that our
treatment of the policy-holders has been one of progressive
liberality ever since the present administration of the Company
began. The very first year of its Incumbency Paid-up policies
— theretofore unknown to Industrial Insurance In this country —
were announced; and every year since then something has
been done for Industrie,! policy-holders beyond any promise
made in the policies. Bulletin No. 195 set forth these conces-
sions and bounties up to Its date and since then, the successive
years have been marlted by progressive gifts and benefits
offered to policy-holders; and this year the Company has been
disbursing the enormous sum of about two millkms of dollars
in voluntary dividends upon non-participating Industrial poli-
cies; bringing the total amount of unpromlsed dividends in
twelve years to about ten millions of dollars to Industrial
policy-holders in the form of dividends on premiums, dividends
on death claims and increases of benefits upon existing policies.
We have been enabled to accomplish this work all these
years by steady improvements in business methods, by steady
extensions of busine^ ; territory, by steady additions to insur-
ance In force, by watchfulness in writing and taking care of
business, resulting in a decreasing death rate, decreasing lapse
rate and decreasing expen.sc rate. These improvements we
have announced to you from year to year; but perhaps from
this verv fact — their gradual, steady progressiven^ss — you
have failed to grasp their full significance. Yet year by year
we have told you our aim — to reduce expenses, to improve the
death rate, to better the policies, to distribute the surplus, so
that each year a larger proportionate amount could be re-
turned to policy-hclders and a smaller proportionate amount
used in expenses.
Within the last few years our disbursements for death
claims have been so continuously and markedly less in pro-
portion to income and our improvements In ratio of expenses
Bhov/n so steady an improvement, that we thought the time
had come to make a scientific resurvey, so to speak, of the
technical features of the business. We have made investiga-
tions into our mortality and drawn off Into various periods
our experience of mortality. The mortality tables upon which
our present tables are founded were taken from the experi-
ence of 1890-1894. A comparison of this with tables taken
from the experience of other periods has shown a steady
improvement in mortality. In the case of children the result is
startling. Take for Instance, age two next birthday. Our
present table shows 49.3 deaths pfer thousand: a table 1896-
1905 shov.s but 30.9; age three the figures are respectively
32 and 24.3: ago five 16 and 9.8; age ten 5.5 and 3.8, and this
improvement runs through the Infantile table. As to adults
there Is also a marked Improvement.
These facts convince us that the time has come to con-
struct new tables of benefits founded upon our experience of
1896-1905 and we are confirmed in our conviction by the fact
that a table drawn from the years 1901-1905 shows a better
experience than that of the full decade. And it seems to us
Just to bass these tables upon the experience of white lives;
and to give benefits based upon the improvement which \ie
feel certain is permanent. How great this improvement is we
illustrate by a few figures, comparing the table upon which
our present benefits are based with a table of white lives
for the past ten years. Deaths per thousand: age two next
birthday 49.3 reduced to 34.7; age three 32 to 22.5; age four
21 5 to 13.2; age five 16 to 9.5; age ten 5.5 to 3.4; age
twenty 10.5 to 7.1: age thirty 15.7 to 11.1; aga forty 19.3 to
14.3. The other element besides mortality Involved in a table
of benefits Is, of course, the expense. As you know, our ratio
of expense to premium Income has been falling for some years;
this year the reduction has been phenomenal and will reach,
we think, by the end of the year, three per centl This alonC'
means a saving of nearly one and a half millions of dollars!
We shall show a lower ratio of expense for 1906 than hasi
been experienced by any Industrial company in the world.
One other element goes Into the construction of tables ol!
benefits; and that is the maturity of the policies. When wo
made up our present table we were convinced that the public
was enamored of endowments. Our Industrial business hafi
been issued for ten years, as you know, mainly upon Endow-
ment tables — Increasing Life and Endowment policies ancl
Twenty-year Endowments forming a very large proportion, in
some years over 90 per cent, of our total business. One dis-
advantage of this table has been that it largely Increased tho
reseive. Our children's Increasing Life and Endowment pollcleM
have been endowments payable after periods of 447 years and
upwards according to age at issue. Compared with the Wholo
Life tables issued by other companies these have made neces-
sary the accumulation of an increase of many millions ot
dollars in reserve. Unthinking persons come to the conclusion
that this piles up the wealth of the Company, forgetting thai:
along with the lncreast> of assets runs the Increase of liabilities,
and that the wealth of a company consists in its surplus; ancl
completely overlooking the remarkable fact that we have de-
liberately kept down our surplus to about ten per cent of our
assets by annual distributions of the excess of surplus earned
to the policy-holders who contributed to it. Public opinion
has changed and now cares more for death benefits than endow.,
ments. We are in business to please the public. We have a
good deal of evidence that Ordinary Life and Endowment;
policies, which were designed to meet the public demand for-
merly existing, and which were, we believe, the first tables)
ever really scientifically constructed for Industrial policies.
Our new Industrial policies will therefore be Whole Lift;
contracts. But we think that as to these there are signH
of a belief on the part of the public that payment of premiumsi
ought to cease with old age. It is hard for people to see what
to any mathematician is self-evident, that in life insurance
the companies are enabled to pay the policies in full on live.s
of those who live out and beyond their expectations; and than
the apparent hardship upon those who live long Is only the;
contribution to the unfortunate which is the essential basis o3.
life Insurance. However, It is possible of course to make
tables for Hmited payments, and the problem Is therefore to
fix an age that shall not be so young as to raise the premiumn
or (what is the same In Industrial Insurance where the unit If)
the premium and not the amount of insurance) to reduce thci
benefits unduly; and on the other hand to fix the age not so
old that the benefits of the limits of payment shall be lost.
We have fixed the age 75 as the limit of payment of premium!!
because at that age we are enabled to only slightly reduce th.i
benefits during life and because we have not received many
complaints of the necessity of paying premiums up to thai:
age And to the occasional complaint that "people never live
to such old age," we may answer that In 1906 we shall have
voluntarily, as matter of grace, paid about 2,700 claims asj
Endowraent.«» on policies issued as Wliole Life on personH
reaching age 80, after paying premiums for 15 years or over.
Constructing a table of benefits upon these four principles!
Whole Life instead of Endowments; our recent mortality
experience instead of our old; a loading proportioned to our
reduced expenses; and the payment of premiums ceasmg after
age 75— we shall put forth for 1907 new tables in the Industrial
department which are better than any company has heretofortj
issued and better .ban we have ever before this felt it
safe to issue.
The most striking change Is In the Infantile table, because
there we substitute Life tables with payment of premiumu
limited to age 75 for our comparatively short Increasing En-
dowment tables now in use; and are therefore enabled to pay
in benefits what we have been compelled to hold as reserve
liability upon the endowment features.
Our new Infantile tables wUl pay nearly as much In death
bcnefits^ for a weekly premium of five cents as wo have here-
tofore i«ld for a weekly premium of ten cents. It la of cours.?
understood that the law fixes a maximum of benefits payable
upon children and this we cannot exceed. We have therefor.j
Increased the benefits at the later agea for persistence^ Thu9
at age two at entry the benefit in case of death at age nine 1.3
$173 while the benefit at age three at entry dying at age nln.j
is $169, and the benefit at age four at entry dying at age nlno
is J 165, and so on. This Is a recognition of the additional
years for which premiums have been paid by those entering
at earlier ages when death occurs at the same age. It follows
from this large Increase of benefits for five cents that hereafter
no policy will be Issued under the Infantile tables for a total
premium of more than five cents. And to meet a desire for
less insurance, especially in large families, we have a tablo
with proportionate benefits for a weekly premium of thre-3
cents.
Our Adult tables show an Increase of benefits for the samo
premium based strictly upon our tables of mortality. At aga
ten the Increase Is 12H Per cent over our present Life tabla
and nearly 18 per cent over our Increasing Life and Endow-
ment table. At age 20 the Increase Is over nine per cent and
over 23 per cent respectively; at age 30 the Increase Is nearly
six per cent and nearly 20 per cent respectively; at age 40 the
Increase Is two per cent, and over 13 per cent respectively, and
so on. And in comparing these tables with our present Whole
Life table (and with those of most of the other Industrial
companies) it must not be forgotten that these old tables pro-
vide for payment of premium during the whole of life, while
under our new tables payment of premiums ceases at age 75.
We have increased the immediate benefits under all of these
policies In accordance with the rule we made retractive this
year, to half-benefits during the first six months and full
benefits thereafter.
We have Introduced Into all of these policies new features
in the way of surrender values. Paid-up policies will be granted
ifter three years Instead of five; extended Insurance will be
granted after three years at the option of the holder; and cash
surrenders will be paid after ten years. The policies will be
in new and attractive forms, with three pages Instead of two.
In order to set forth all of the concessions, making the rights
)f the policy-holders so plain that anyone will be able to tell
(vhat he is entitled to. And the whole contract will be express-
ed in the policy, doing away entirely with the necessity of a
:opy of the application, using the form in this respect for all
policies which we adopted many years ago for policies under
130.
ORDINARY DEPARTMENT.
One of the most striking results of the Armstrong Investi-
gation was the adoption of a provision restricting expenses for
the first year of the life of the policy. And what is most In-
teresting as well as complimentary to the Metropolitan is the
fact, which appeared In the newspaper discussion at the time
of the adoption of the report and bills, that this restriction
by law was justified by the experience of this Company In the
matter of expense as shown by an analysis of Its annual
reports. It Is true that this Company kept Its expenses almost
within the limit prescribed by the new statute. But the
statute is a penal one and we cannot run any risk of overrun-
ning the limit of expense. This necessitates a reduction of com-
mls.'ilons, but the reduction will be very much less than that
made necessary by the companies issuing participating policies.
This Company will not Issue after this year any other than
non-participating poheies. In fact, in the true sense of the
term we have not issued any other for nearly fifteen years;
for, as we have often explained, the Intermediate and Special
Class policies were based upon stock or a non-participating
loading and the dividends promised. If earned, were expected
to be derived from the mortality. These policies were entirely
novel and we had little experience to giilde us. The Inter-
mediate policies were based upon our Industrial table of
mortality and were designed for Industrial risks who could
afford to pay annual instead of weekly premiums; and the
mortality of such a class could not be foretold. The Special
Clas:: policies were for sub-standard risks as to which the
mortality could not be accurately predicted. What we under-
took to do was to pay back to the policy-holders the gain
from such improvement In mortality over the expected as
should be actually experienced. As participating policies are
based upon a higher or so-called mutual loading out of which
dividends are expected to be earned, we claim that our Inter-
mediate and Special Class policies based upon a stock loading
were In principle non-participating. All of our other policies
In the Ordinary Department were by their terms non-partici-
pating. The law has Justified us in the principles we adopted
fifteen years ago, and today the Armstrong laws and the similar
ones prepared for other States are a vindication of the Metro-
politan principles in which you have been trained. We have
now an experience of Intermediate and Special Class risks
which enable us to prepare non-partlclpatlng tables. The
tables of premiums as to these policies have heretofore been
completely readjusted. We think you will find them most
attractive. •
We realize that we shall henceforth have more competition
In non-partlclpatlng policies. Other companies have announced
their purpose to restrict their issue to this form. We have
therefore thought It In your Interest as well as our own and
In the interest of the public, which Is superior to both, to
use a part of the reduction, of commission to effect some
reduction of premium. New tables have been prepared which
we think will be attractive to our customers and which there-
therefore will be profitable to you. In adjusting these com-
missions we have thought It only just to restore to the Super-
intendents an Interest In them which we were compelled to
withdraw a few years ago and which j'ou remember the Vice-
President promised at the time to restore when we should be
able to arrange It. And we have also recognized the good
work of Assistant Superintendents by giving them an Interest
In the work of their agents. We realize that the duties of
Superintendents and Assistants Include the instruction and train-
ing of Industrial agents in the work of the Ordinary Depart-
ment. We want all of our agents to be all-around insurance
men. Our Superintendents and Assistants have imposed upon
them as a duty the supervision, the constant help and en-
couragement and the education of their agents. We have
made it an Interest as well as a duty.
Our new policies will be found most attractive in form
and even more attractive In substance. They contain all of
the advantages and concessions which we can afford to give
and which the public have a right to expect. The surrender
values win be found to be generous and take the optional
forms of extended insurance, paid-up insurance and cash.
They are the standard forms of the New York Department,
the work of experts which has legislative approval. They
are as plain to the understanding as they can be made. We
have discontinued many plans as unnecessary. We shall Issue
Ordinary Life, Limited Payment, Endowment and Term plans;
and we have applied for permission and hope to issue in addi-
tion three plans which the public have stamped with their
approval — namely, the Optional Life or Endowment, under a
new name, the Modified Endowment with Life Option; the

Gentlemen, we are entitled to say that the Armstrong
Investigation was a vindication of the methods and practices
of the Metropolitan Life. The Armstrong laws are in many
respects a distinct recognition of the work we have done
together these many years. See that you appreciate this
fact to the utmost. Show that you do by making the year
1907 an unexampled year for the issue of more policies, for
larger insurance, for greater gain, for less lapses and not-
takens, at a less expense, at a greater return to policy-holders
than you have ever done. Live up to your blessings! Show
that you appreciate the reward which the Legislature has con-
ferred upon your good work of the past! Make 1B07 the great-
est because the best year in the Company's history.
THIS YEAR. J 006.
You have started well. Last year, the year of the Investi-
gation, you did the largest busines we had ever done. The
first part of this year the paralysis which seemed, unreason-
ably an dunnecessarlly, to have fallen upon the business in
general, appeared to have affected even you — even more
unreasonably and unnecessarily. Finding this to be the fact,
the Vice-President appealed to you in personal conferences
with the Superintendents In litle groups all over the country;
pointed out to you the facts and conclusions of the Armstrong
inquiry and the results as embodied in legislation; showed you
the essential approval we had received in our work in both
departments, and asked you to respond to all this for the
remainder of the year by making the best record you had
ever made. This was In May and June. It would be most
ungrateful not to make this public an^J general acknowledge-
ment of your response to the appeal, and on behalf of the
Vice-President I give to you his personal thanks and add our
official acknowledgements. The year is not yet ended and we
cannot therefore tell the whole story. But for the months of
July to November, Inclusive, compared with the same months
of previous years:
You made the largest amount of Industrial increase which
the Company ever made, except in 1894 and 1903.
The agents wrote the largest amount of Industrial busi-
ness, average per man, of any of the last ten years.
The average increase per man was larger than for any
of the past ten years.
The ratio of lapses was the third lowest for ten years past.
The number of transferred accounts was -the lowest for
eight years, notwithstanding the larger force of men with
which we started and the larger reduction In the force we have
made this year.
The collections were the best In the history of tlie Company 1
The death claims reached the lowest ratio for the last 25
years — notwithstanding the increased average age of the
policy-holders.
The special salary to agents averaged the largest amount
in the last ten years; and yet we saved 1100,000 in the total
compared with last year.
The saving in total cost in these items alone, medical fees
(because of a reduction in number of applications). Assist-
ants' salaries and special salary, was at the rate of a million
dollars a year.
We may add that the Pacific Coast kept up with the
procession by the remarkable feat of covering for the year
the enormous lapse caused by the earthquake and is certain
to close the year with a handsome increa.se.
In the Ordinary Department, September about equalled
September of last year, while October and November largely
exceeded the corresponding months of last year, and Decem-
ber promises to be a record breaker!
And taking the last six months for comparison — Juno to
November inclusive — you wrote more Ordinary than ever was
written by the Company in the corresponding months and
exceeded 1905 by over six millions and a half; and this it
must be remembered by more than 300 less men I
We are proud of this record and we are grateful to you
for your generous response. We cannot say more than to
wish for you and yours the happiest and most prosperous year
of your lives in 19071
Very sincerely yours,
John R. Hegeman,
PRESIDENT.

EDUCATION IN
PHILIPPINESIBATTLED WITH
n TK — TK J HEAVY SEAS
Over Three Thousand i
Schools With Attend- Steamer Ionic is Safe
ance of 375,554.
Washington, Dec. 24.— The sixth annual
report of the director of education for
the Phililpints covering the activities of
the educational work ;n the islands for
the year ended June 30, 1906, which has
been received at the war department,
■hows that there are now 3,166 primary
■choois in the islands with an average
attendance of 375,5o4 pupils. Seven hun-
dred American teachers and e,2J4 Filipino
teachers are employed. All of the school
divisions the report says conducted
teachers' institutes varying from four to
elx v.teks m the different provinces.
The instruction given was divided be-
tween the common branches of the inter-
mediate course and special topics of in-
struction, such as school gradtnlng, do-
mestic science, primary industrial work
and methods of teaching.
There are 2,454 jjrimary schools build-
ing in the islands owned by the ir.unici-
r»aJities and in addition a number of
Buildings belonging to the province, but
not constructed originally for school pur-
poses are used. Private instruction, the
repc-rt says, plays a large part in the in-
teriectu.al life of the iblands. Many of
these schools are supported by the Catho-
lic church with a histr.r>- reaching back

tions teach English aithough in pxactl-

JU DGE ATWATER DEA D.
Mliincarolis, Dec. 24.— Jv.dge Isaac At-
water, one of the most prominent of
Minnesota's pioneers, died at il:£0
o'clock Saturday morning at his apart-
ment;, at the West hotel. Mr. Atwater
was ill thirty-ene weeks, but it was not
thought serious enoug.'i to end In death.
at Port Arthur,
Ont.
The steamer Ionic, after several
days' battle with heavy seas on Lake
Superior, arrived at Port Arthur Sat-
urday, and has tied up there for the
winter.
The Ionic left for the lower lake
ports two weeks ago, and a week ago
passed the Soo. Since that time, un-
til Saturday, no news was had at
Duluth as to her whereabouts or con-
dition. Some fears were had as to the
safety of the steamer.
Ontslde some minor damages to the
pilot house and cabin by heavy seas
and ice, the Ionic is practically un-
injured. When she arrived at Port
Arthur, the boat is said to have been
sheeted with ice. The offlcers of the
steamer claim that it was one of the
most dangerous trips they have ever
had in their experience on the Great
Lakes.
The season of navigation at Port
Arthur is now closed.

VESSEL ON FIRE
DRIVErrO SHORE
Heroism of Engineers
and Firemen Saves
All on Board.
Halifax. N. S., Dec. 24. — Word was
received here yesterday from Port Du-
fraln, a small coast town some sixty
miles east of this city of the destruc-
tion by fire of the passenger steamer
Strathcona. owned by the Halifax &c
Canso Steamhlp company, and bound
from this port to Canso and Guys-
borough. That no lives were lost Is
due principally to the heroism of the
engineers and firemen, who stuck to
their posts until the steamer was
beached and everyone of the 380 pas-
sengers landed. In less than an hour
after the beaching of the steamer she
was burned to the water's edge.
The Strathcona left here Saturday
evening under the command of Capt.
Held. A few hours after leaving port
fire was discovered In the after hold.
When the cry of fire was raLsed the
wildest confusion prevailed. The pas-
sengers, most of them clad only iii
their night clothes, rushed on deck
and made a dash for the life boats,
but the crew prevented a panic. The
boats were not launched, but were
made ready for use in case the flames
completely enveloped the steamer be-
fore land could be reached. While
the Strathcona v.as driven towards
land at top speed, the sailors tried to
fight back the fla.mes with streams of
water. The draft cau.sed by the
steamer's rapid progress, however,
fanned the flames Into greater fury,
and In a short time the entire after
portion of the ve:5sel was on fire.
Down in the engine room the engi-
neers and firem?n stuck bravely to
their posts, although the flames had
begun to surround them. Not until
the keel of the steamer grated on a
reef, a mile froir the entrance of the
harbor, did they abandon their dan-
gerous positions smd rush to the deck.
Then the boats were lowered and all
of the passengers, together with the
thirteen members of the crew founa
safety on shore.
The Strathcona. was only two years
old and was a vessel of 200 tons.

The Finlanders were in a restaurant
adjoins the saloon and became unruly
Tile landlady called on Kirchoff and he
responded by ordering tlie men to vacate
the building. They refused and he re-
turned to the saloon to call the police.
Before he could reach the telephone the
men wea-e after him. They pulled otl
their coats, rolled up- their sleeves and
then commenced a battle royal. Kirchoff
seized an ice pick and rapped his nearest
enemy over tlie bead with sufficient force
to break the pick. He then seized a
baseball bat and after landing two or
three blows it also broke in two. His
next nearest weapon was a billiard cue
v.hich stood only one blow. In the mean-
time KircholT received a knife thrust in
his left Jaw, but he still fought on and
when the policemen arrived on the scene
Kirchoff was nursing the ugly gash
on his cheek and the Finlanders lay
sprawled around the floor. Tliey were
quickly gathered up by the police and
landed behind the bars.

NINE PRISONERS ESCAPE
From tlie Jail at Cincinnati and Two Are
Recaptured.
Cincinnati, Dec. 24.— Nine prisoners
escaped from Hamilton cotmty jail
here yesterday. Among those who es-
caped were some desperate criminals.
Including Clarendon Henri, arrested in
New York recently, who stole the fa-
mous picture "Girl Knitting," from the
Cincinnati art museum.
The prisoners escaped by unlocking
1 a door which leads to a narrow passage
leading Into the areaway between the
[outer wall and the cell block. Here tv.o
I ladders were spliced together by bed
I clothing, and one of the bars to the
outer window was sawed and shoved
I aside. The prisoners dropped twenty-
Ifour feet to the ground. A small boy
; saw the men as they ran Into the
street and immediately notified those
in the oflTice of the jailer. Later two of
the fugitives, Frank Kammf and
George Curtis, were recaptured. The
others yet at large, are Clarendo.n
Henri, Hugh Gastnight, George Sher-
wood, Willie Saunders. Edward Ness,
Joseph Thatcher, J. Sutton.
BRYCE DECLINETriTLE.
But Will Come to United States as Brit*
ish Ambassaeor.
London, Dec. 24. — James Bryce, It
would appear, has declined a peerage,
but, at any rate, according to the
Daily Telegraph, he will go to the
United States as British ambassador,
without changing his name, and thus
be the first plain citizen to represent
his country at Washington. "And,"
says the Chronicle. "Americans, who
know and honor James Bryce, will es-
teem him all the more because he de-
clined a title."
The finding of a successor for Mr.
Bryce, as chief secretary for Ireland,
is giving Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-
man considerable trouble, judging from
the many possible candidates named.
According to the latest gossip, Lewis
Harcourt, first commissioner of works,
has declined the position.

BUYS A FARMJHEN A WIFE.
Matrimonial Ag;ent Earns $50 by Pro-
moting a "Matclu"
Appletcn, Wis., Dec. 24.-A year .igo
John Christlanson bought a farm at
Clintonville and last week he bought
himself a wife for $«'. After improve-
ments were made on his homestead, ho
decided he should have a companion
and offered $5€ to Edward Wickert, a
matrimonial agent of Oshkosh.
Wickert was 'there with the goods,"
and Saturday drove to the farm with a
matro:iIy widow, who looked over the
place and its owner and decided to ac-
cept the proposition. Wickert was paid
and the three drove to Oshkosh. v.-htre
the couple were married.
It was the first time Christiansen had
ever s'.en the woman. The only con-
dition was that the woman be bculthy.
BONES OF LOST BABES
LOCKEDjN EMBRACE.
Havre, Mont., Dec. 24.— The finding
of two bleached skeletons of children
in a coulee, just over Iht; Canadian
line, bv Mr. and Mrs. George Randall,
probably clears up the mystery of the
disappearance of the two Hoffman
children who wandered from their par-
ents' home in Nevember, 1»05, and were
lost In the blinding blizzard which
started soon after tlielr disappearance.
The skeletons were accepted by the
parents of the Hoffman children and
the funeral held this week.
Tlie skeletons were clasped in each
other's arms. The children must have
wandered fully twenty miles befor*
they sank down exhausted.

Steel Corporation WorR-
ers Subscribe This
Year as In Past.
Subscriptions Are Larger
Than Ever Before, De-
spite High Prices.
As has been the custom ever since
December, 1902, all of the 200,000
employes of the United States Steel
corporation, in the various branches of
Its business, will have an opportunity
to subscribe for the preferred stock of
the corporation this year.
The stock la offered to the workers
upon practically the same terms as in
the past, except as to the price. This
year the employes of the corporation
and its subsidiary companies may sub-
scribe for the stock at $102 per share.
Since the profit-sharing scheme was
first inaugurated, when George W.
Perkins v.a^ chairman of the finance
committee of the Steel corporation and
largely through his efforts, a large
sum has been set aside every year for
the purchase of stock to be resold to
employes at a loss.
If the appropriation Is not large
enough to Insure each employe who
desires to subscribe, at least one full
share, the appropriation is increased
and more stock for distribution is pur-
chassed.
The plan of distribution is as fol-
lows; The employes are divided into
six classes, according to the salaries
they receive. Those in class A, which
Includes all those who receive $20,000
e. year or more, are allowed to sub-
scribe for stock to an amount not to
exceed five per cent of their annual
salary; those in class B. who receive
from $10,000 to $20,000 a year, may
_ subscribe as much as 8 per cent of
their salaries; those in class C, who re-
/ celve from $5,000 to $10,000, may sub-
""•acribe as much as 10 per cent; those
In class D, who receive from $2,500 to
15.000 a.s much as 12 per cent; class
E, receiving from $800 to $2,500, may
subscribe 15 per cent and the members
of class F. receiving $800 or less, may
sfibscrlbe to an amount not to exceed
/-"^^O per cent of their annual salaries.
If more than the total number of
authorized shares are subscribed for,
the full number of shares are awarded
to the .subscribers In the order of the
classes, beginning wfth the lowest.
Despite the high price of the stock
at tha present time. It is understood
that the subscriptions are unusually
hea\T this year and the chances are
that there will be very little left for
the better paid employes.
The stock subscribed for by employes
Is paid for in monthly installments, de-
ducted from salaries In any amount
the .subscriber may desire but not to
exceed twenty-flve per cent of one
month's .salary. A subscriber may
take three years to pay for his stock
If he chooses. Dividends on the stock
go to the subscriber from the moment
he makes the first payment. On de-
ferred payments, interest ischarged at
the rate of 5 per cent.
When the stock shall have been
fully paid for. the certificate Is madf
out in the name of the original sub-
scriber and he may keep it or sell it
as he sees fit. but it ia the desire of the
corporation officials to have employes
keep their stock and they are given an
incentive to do so.
— If in January of each year, an em-
ploye shows his certificate to the
treasurer, together with proof that he
has been in the employ of the com-
pany continuously, he receives a bonus
- of $5 a share per year on his stock for
five con.secutive years. If he remains
contlnuou.sly in the employ of the com-
pany five years and longer, he is given
still another bonus.
— A special department is maintained
by the United States Steel corporation
to keep account of the subscriptions
of employes, which because of the
large number and small amounts, en-
tails a great amount of looking after.
However, the officials of the Steel cor-
poration are now satisfied that despite
the petty annoyances which have re-
sulted from time to time from the
stock-distribution scheme, It is worth
while.
Employes of the Steel corporation
In Duluth and on the Minnesota
ranges have been taking advantage of
the stock offerings from year to year
and their subscriptions this year are
larger than ever before.

BALTIMORE BEAUTIES A HIT.
Give en Exeelient Performance of Bur-
leqne and Vaudeville ot the "Net."
The Baltimore Beauties ofCer a good
holiday bill of extravaganza and vau-
deville at the Metropolitan this week.
They opened their engagement yester-
day afternoon and will give the usual
matinees during the week. Including a
holiday matinee tomorrow.
At the head of the comedy department
of the organization is Murray J. Si-
mons, wiio was Charles Burkharot'a
partner iu fun with the Jolly Grass
Widows last season. Simons made a
substantial hit with Metropolitan pat-
rons yesterday. Generous audiences
applauded him when he talked and
when he sang.
Herman Marlon, Billy Pearl, Ed B.
White, Fred Sldonia, Margaret King,
Rolla White and Lilly Sidonia help to
make the burlesques go 'round. The
first one is called "Tuker's Farm" and
boasts of something of a plot. It is
really an one-act farce, with musical
interpolations. Three men with the
same initials appear simultaneously at
a summer resort and many complica-
tions arise.
Margaret King and chorus sing "Ma-
ricula. She Take a Steamboat," an
Italian number, and Franklyn Batie
and chorus sing a splendid Spanish
number in the last burlesque, which h.xs
a military flavor and is called "Fun in
Camp." If the comedians would keep
off the stage while some of. the num-
bers are being sung, at lea.st some of
those in the audience would appreci-
ate It.
Margarey King and Ray Odell sing
rather well together and are well re-
ceived with their act in the olio, Ma-
rlon and Pearl should work up the
talking part of their act more. Their
gags are all good, but all of them are
not brought out well enough. Their
acrobatic stunts are excellent. Fred
and Lilly Sidonia have an eccentric act
which consists mostly of prop, cos-
tumes and scenery. It Is very funny
however and the better half of the
sketch displays a sweet voice and a
good figure. Ed B. White, a former
sparring partner of John L. Sullivan's,
and his wife, have a good boxing act,
and Franklyn Batie, with an excellent
voice and some colored views, sets
them wild when he sings "Ain't You
Coming Back to Old Njw Hampshire,
Molly."

"The Glr! From Out Yonder." a comedy

Miss Thurstan is said to have the best
opportunity for showing her VPrsatUity
as an actress as well as those sweet and
winning quaJltles that have given her
a reputation all over the country that she
has ever had in her new play. She takes
ih'i part of a young girl who has lived all
her life In a lighthouse off the coast of
Maine. Her first entrance Is made in the
sou-wester and oil skins of a fisherman,
and It Is said that she invests those un-
couth garments with a charm that no one
ever before thought they possessed. A
most pretentious scenic production has
been given the play.

St. Paul, Minn., Dec. 24. — Archbish-
op Ireland in his sermon at the cathed-
ra yesterday, spoke on the topic,
"Church and State in France." He
said in part:
"The conflict raging at the present
time between the church and the state
In France awakens universal and pro-
found interest. It could not be other-
wise, were it only for the personalities
of the contestants — on the one side,
the Catholic church, which for ages
has swayed the moral and religious
life of the tens of millions of mankind
and demands, as in heaven's name, tlie
right to continue its work adown the
coming ages; on the other, the 'grande
nation,' which since the days of Clovls
and Charlemagne has revelled in the
title of 'elde.st daughter' of that
church, and has held so long amid
peoples the most conspicuous place iu
the vanguard of religion and of civili-
zation.
"We ask — what are the causes of
the conflict? W'nat are to be the re-
sults?
"For the moment the situation is,
undoubtedly, serious, and serious for
the one and for the other of the con-
testants. Yet, seen more anear, it re-
veals no coloring of despair, either for
France or for the church in France.
A bright morning, I dare predict, wiK
at a not distant time dawn over the
field of battle dropping from the skies
sunshine and "peace and begetting,
both in the church and in France, ]oy
and exultation that the passage at
arms, angry as it once was. has op-
ened the way at a clearer understand-
ing of mutual interests, to a warmer
glow of olden mutual love. And now,
by act of parliament, the concordat Is
abolished, a regime of separation is in»
stituted. Let not Americans be misled
by words which have a totally different
signification In tlielr land from what
is allowed to it in France. Separation
of the church from the state in Amer-
ica means liberty and Justice; there
it means servitude and oppression.
"Speaking on Friday last to the car-
dinals present in the Vatican, Pius X
said of the French situation: 'We are
ready to submit to separation from the
state, but It must be a fair separation
— such as obtains in the United States,
in Brazil, in Great Britain, In Holland
— and not a subjection.' No Catholic
in the United States makes objection
to separation; for here separation
means exactly what it purports to
mean. , , .
"Under the advice from the head or
the church, the bishops of France re-
fused the associations offered by the
law of separation. They acted from
a principle. In the Interest of religion
they could not approve such associa-
tions; they would not by tolerating
them appear to approve them. They
are not rebels against the laws of the
country. The 'associations,' as the
minister of education. M. Briand, him-
self has declared, were not statutes
binding upon citizens; they were privi-
leges tendered to the church which
she was free to accept or reject. She
has rejected them. Pope and bishops
knew full well the consequences that
were to follow; the spirit of the gov-
ernment was not hidden from ttieii
eyes- it was an era of persecution, but
it no other escape from persecution
were possible than the acceptance of
the law of associations, they were
ready to welcome persecution.
"It is a lamentable fact that there
Is in France a party bent on. the de-
struction of religion. The war is made
on the Catholic church, because she
in France represents religion. In
realtiy, in intent and in fact, the war
is against Christianity under any form,
against religion of any kind, against
the idea itself of a God reignmg over
men. The old spirit of Voltaire and the
encyclopedists of the Eighteenth cen-
tury, never died out in France. It had
an outburst of triumph in the revolu-
tlon when God declared non-existent,
and' infamy itself, denoted the "God
dess of Reason." was uplifted to adora-
tion uupon the altar of the cathedi»il
of Paris. It slumbered a while under
succeeding imperial and royal regimes:
it has awakened to new vigor in the
freedom allowed to thought and speech
by the present republic.
"This party of infidels and athists
Is far from being France, as I shall
later say: but it is active, persistent,
unscrupulous, and It forces Itself with
venegeance to the front. It has grasped
the helm of power, and Its steers the
ship of state into the darkest depths
of unbelief and Irreliglon. Yesterday
it was Combes, the most brutal of all;
today It is Clemenceau, somewhat
more subdued in his hatred— but yet
a leader In the fight. With such men,
and with others dividing with them
public power, even if less violent
adepts of Irreliglon, there reigns an-
other idea— the omnipotence of the
state. This was ever the plague of
France — even when her rulers were
devout Catholics. The state must con-
trol all agencies of power; It must
brook no rival. Even the church must
be In the hands of the government. So
was it with Louis XIV, and with Na-
poleon, so is it with the republic. The

never understood the niaoiiing of a re-

personal liberty, which is to leave as
much as possible to the people, to take
to the state only what is needed for
the public weal. The J|ost Republican

set out at once to regulate all things
to their own liking, ^^fcare the state;
they cry out, as LoulsJKIV once said:
'I am the state.' 'Andjlhe state is the

ernment assumes it as their duty to
let no one go to mass.
"I know France from the channel to
the Mediterranean; I xnow her cities
and her villages; I kn^w her people—
her aristocracy, her hjUfegolsie and her
peasantry— and I kn6»v^ them to /be
Catholic. Now then explain the politi-
cal situation? There are several causes
to be noted. The masses are not used
to political life. For ages they were
governed; they do not comprehend the
art of governing. Put a party in
power— it means the hundreds of thou-
sands of oflficials from the prefect of
a department, to the humblest school
teacher, to the village constable; they
obey the order received from Paris;
they speak to the crowds around them
— crowds who read llltle, who think
little — and the crowds in their turn
obey the mandate. An independent,
self argued suffrage lias not entered
into the popular life. Nor is there
among the masses tlie ambition to
gain political victory. Paris, for a
century and a half, has ruled France,
Establish a new regime. Monarchical or
Republic. In Paris this evening; the

Monarchical or Republican. It will re-
quire long years to decentralize power
in France, to give to each citizen con-
sciousness of personal Independence to
obtain through universal suffrage a
true expression of national will.
'There is no otiier country where a well
organized and stirring fraction of the
population can sway so egisily^ the masses,
and impose upon thenn its will. The
clergy who are now tha chief suECerers
are much to blame. Th4y; too, have re-
tained, even at the altar' and In the pul-

"Then, French CatholI<is have been un-

The Cananea Central stock Is a |10
stock that has been traded in since its
Itisue on a basis of $5. It has sold as
high as $41. The call for the remain-
ing $5 on the stock has been expected

$60,000,000 and the incorporators are
Thomas P. Cole, Chester A. CongdOxi
and Charles d'Autremont, all of this
city. The Incorporation Is to run for
thirty years and it Is stipulated that
it will not be liable for an indebted-
ness of over $200,000,000.
The filing fee, which Is $31,500, Is
one of the largest on record in Min-
nesota for years. The articles provido
that the capital stock shall be divided
into 3,000,000 shares of a par value
of $20 each. The first meeting of the
board of directors will be held in the
Lyceum building at 10 a. m. Dec. 28.
Three directors will be chosen at a
meeting to be held the third Tuesday
in March, 1908. and three directors,
will be chosen annually thereafter.
With respect to the time they aro
to serve the directors are divided into
three classes, each class being com-
prised of three members. The first
class of directors is comprised of C. A.
Duncan of Duluth; Cleveland A.
Dodge of New York, and Myron M.

FIREMEN^ STRIKE
On the Southern Pacific Road In Texas
and Loaisiana.
Houston. Tex., Dec. 24.— A strike of
locomotive firemen went into effect
yesterday afternoon on the lines of
the Southern Pacific company In
; Texas and Louisiana. Three or four
'hundred men are involved, being em-
iployes of twenty-eight branches. The
'trouble has been brewing ever since
the Southern Paoiflc comipany, accord-
ing to the firemen, abrogated the agree-
ment with them several months ago
by signing an agreement with the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
which terminated the privileges of the
firemen to regulate the seniority list
of switch engineers and to represent
engineers and members of the fire-
men's brotherhood on grlenvance com-
mittees.
A large percentage of firemen be-
coming engineers maintain their mem-
bership and Insurajice in the fire-
men's organization In-Stead of joining
the engineers' brotherhood, and this
fact seems to be the bottom of the
proesent trouble.
Oakland, Cal.. Dec. 24.— The Pacific
system of the Southern Pacific com-
pany, comprising the lines west of El
Paso and Ogden and south of Portland
has not been affected by the locomo-
tive firemen's strike ultimatum given
by Grand Master Hanrahan of the lo-
comotive firemen's brotherhood. Tlie
order applies to the Atlantic system
which operates the Southern Pacific
lines east of El Paso. Local railroad
oflficials say they do not look for a
spread of the strike as the trouble Is
to a great extent local.

IS RESCUED IN
GOOD CONDITION
Imprisoned Miner Suffer-
ing No ill Effects From
Experience.
Bakersfield, Cal., Dec. 24. — L. B.
Hicks, who was rescued Saturday
night from the Edison company tun-
nel, where he was imprisoned nearly
sixteen days because of a caveln, Is
apparently suffering no ill effects from
his unusual experience.
"I am feeling fine," was the first re-
mark the miner made on reaching
freedom. Hicks aided his rescuers
during the last few moments, eagerly
digging his way through the miniature
tunnel made by the workmen. He Is
not emaciated as was expected and did
not need the stimulants that had been
prepared for him. When he-had pro-
gressed about half way he stopped and
.Superintendent Frank Miller, who
stood at the tube at the mouth of the
shaft, immediately called and asked
what was the matter.
"Oh, nothing," Hicks called back.
"I'm Just going to stop. I'm out of
wind. My wind is very sliort, you
know."
Then Hicks moved a few inches fur-
ther toward freedom and his arms
were seized by Dr. Stinchfield and a
workman. The two, exerting all their
strength, pulled Hicks Into the main
tunnel. Dr. Stinchfield, with tears In
his eyes, laid his hands affectionately
on Hicks' shoulders and said: "Well,
how are you, old boy?" Showing
much emotion. Hicks answered: "I
am feeling fine. I can never thank
you, doctor, for what you have done."
Superintendent Cone, who has stayed
by the work day and night directing
the work of rescue, said: "I am glad
to see you again, old man." Hicks,
with choked voice, attempted to thank
him. - . -
Hicks yesterday morning mounted
a saddled horse and rode to the hos-
pital at Camp No. 2, a mile and a
half from the scene •f the disaster.
He will spend Christmas at the hos-
pital as the guest of Dr. Stinchfield.
the physician, to whom praise lor
the remarkable physical and mental
condlUon In which Hicks was found
is due.
The remarkable condition of Hlcks
was a great surprise to Dr. Stinch-
field. The doctor said: "I found that
his temperature was normal, just
after the rescue, and his pulse a trifie
high which was undoubtedly due to
the ' excitement under which the
miner was laboring. His face is free
from any lines or furrowa, and to
look at him j^ou could not see any
difference from an ordinary working
man, who had just done a few days'
work In a shaft. He is weak in the
legs and knees, and his legs are sore,
caused by sitting in one position, un-
able to move. What little nervous^
ness he displays will vanish Just as
soon as he grows stronger."
Further discussing his experiences.
Hicks said:
"The only fear I had when I was
closed m was that I might suffer
from the lack of air when the tim-
bers crashed In and as a cloud of
dust filled the space and nearly suf-
focated me. This dust, in my opin-
ion, caused the death of the two men
above me. I heard them struggling
frantically for about three hours, and
I knew their death was caused by
strangulation.
"The tobacco was my staff of life.
I don't know what I would have douo
without It. Every piece of it I chewed
I made last as long aa I could, and
when no more could be got out of it
I swallowed It.
"The milk was great, and certainly
worked wonders with me. When I,
went In the tunnel I weighed 150
pounds. Last night I tipped the
scales at 149V2. I really believe my
stomach Is larger than ever before, I
drank so much milk. It reached the
right spot. One disagreeable thing
was the stench that filled the shaft.
The rats also oame close to me, and
I hit some of them a number of
times In trying to get them away. I
am. glad that I am out, and am feel-
ing fine."
Hlcks is being flooded with offers
from theatrical managers and others,
who want him for some exhibition
purposes.

and was thoroughly enjoyed by a large
congregation. Assisting the choir of
twenty voices, under the leadership of
Mrs. Geer, was Mrs. Goodwin of the
First M. E. church, whose singing was
a feature of the entertainment. The
duet by her and Mrs. Geer being es-
pecially fine. Their voices blended well
together, and they sang with much
feeling. Mr. Myron of St. Paul, who is
her© to spend the holidays with his
parents, Mr. and Mr. Myron of Lester
Park, also sang a solo. The Sunday

Between the United States
and Porto Rico is
Remarkable.
Has Increased to $40,-
000,000 From $4,000,-
000 in 1897.
Washington, Deo. 24.— (SpeciaJ to
The Herald.)— The remarkable &rov.th
In commtice between the United States
and Pono Rico, ab illustrated by som >
figures just prepared by the bureau of
statistic!? of the department of com-
merce and labor, is especially inter-
esting at iho present moment in view
of President RooseveUs recent mes-
sage regarding Porto Rico. The figures
Just announced show that the trade
between the United States and Porto
Rico in the calendar year 1906 will ex-
ceed 541.000.000 against less than J},-
000,000 in 1897, the year before annexa-
tion.
The value of merchandise sent from
Porto Rico to the United States in the
ten months, ending with October, 1906,
Is $1^ 320,137, and of merchandise sent
from the United States to Porto Rico
in the same period, $16,50*»,946. making
a totaJ for the ten months of J35. 830,08?
ani-i thns apparently justifying the
assertion that for the full twelve
months ending with December, the
toUl will exceed |4t*,000.00C. In the cal-
endar year 1897, the year immediately
preceding annexation, the total Im-
ports into the United States from Porto
Rico were $1.943,:;51, and the total ex-
ports to that island. $2,023,751. making
a total of $3,967,002, or less than one-
tenth of the total promised for the year
which tiids the present month.
Not only has the trade with the
United Slates increased enormously,
but the general trade of the island
shows also a large increase during the
period in question. The total value of
merchandise passing in and out of the
Island in I90ij was practically twice as
great as that of any year prior tc an-
nexation. This remarkable growth in
the general com.merce of tiie island, a
result of the growth of production
of staple articles entering commerce
and the consectuent growth in the con-
suming power of the people, is shown
by figures compiled by the bureau of
statistics, which for the first time
state the value In gold of the imports
and exports of the island in each year
for a long term of years and thus
enable an accurate comparison of the
commerce today with that existing
under Spanish control. The figures thus
compiled show that the exports of the
Island in the fiscal year 1906 were
$23.50(1.000. against $12,750,000 in the
highest year prior to annexation — 1892,
and the imp.irts were in 1906 practical-
ly $22,000,000. against an annual aver-
age of about $12,5W,000 under Spanish
rule.
A very large proportion of the trade
of Porto Rico is with the United
States. Of the total merchandi.se leav-
ing the island. 87 per cent goes to
the United State, and of the total
merchandise entering the island, 86^.^
per cent is from the United States,
these figures being based upon the
records of the ten months ending with
Oct. 1906. the latest available figurse
of theBureau of Statistics of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor. In
1996, two years prior to annaxation, the
share of exports sent to the United
States wa.s 14 per cent, and the share
of the imports taken from the United
States, 21 per cent.
The principal articles forming this
large and rapidly growing trade with
Porto Rico are sugar, tobacco, coffee,
fruits, in the shipments from the
Island: and flour, rice, meats, dairy
products, cotton goods, manufacturies
of iron and steel, and miscellaneous
manufactures of iron and steel, and
miscellaneous manufactures, In the
shipments from the United tSates to
Porto Rico. In the ten months ending
with October, the latest period for
which figures have reached the bureau
of statistics, the value of the principal
articles was as follows: Sugar, $14,-
490,822; cigars. $2,980,202; leaf tobacco,
$51,675; m.olasses, $421,223; oranges,
$244,462; other fruits, $146,655; straw
and palm leaf manufactures, $123,347;
hides and skins. $92,617; preserved
fruits, $46,39SL iron and steel manu-
factures, $44,591; tobacco stems and
trimmings, $33,330; raw cotton, $30,-
660, and perfumery and cosmetics, $25,-
749.
DEATH SENTENCE FOR LIFE CON-
VICT.—In Brown vs. State, 96 Southwest-
em Reporter, Ui39, the court of criminal
appeals of Texas passes upon the ques-
tion as to whether one who has been
prefiously convicted of murder and Js
serving a life sentence may be tried and
sentenced to death for a subsequent mur-
der. While no case was cited by the
court, it is held that the second conviction
Is not barred by the first, and that the
death sentence may be put into effect im-
mediately. The question has been pased
upon in several other states, the holding
uniformly being in agreement with tliis
opinion of the Texas court.
STEALING GAS.— An unusual prosecu-
tion for larceny arises in Woods vs.
People. 78, Northeastern Reporter, 637,
where the supreme court of Illinois holds
that the occupant of a building, who
removes the meters and substitutes rub-
ber hose connections, is guilty of grand
larceny under the statute defining lar-
ceny as feloniously taking the personal
goods of another. The defendant's plan
' WU8 to remove the meter as soon as the
gas inspector had read it, and connect
the pipes by means of rubber hose, this
connection being left in place until near
the time for the reappearance of the gas
man, when it was removed and the
meters replaced. It was also held in this
case that in ascertaining whether the
value of the gas taken was sufficient to
make the offense grand larceny, the value
of the gas consumed upon a number of
consecutive days should be added to-
gether, and that the gas taken on each
separte day did not constitute a separate
offense. It was further held that in
I a.scertulning the value, the jury should
I be guided by the selling price and not
by the cost price of gas.
CONSPIRACY— RIGHT TO EXCLUDE
PERCONS FROM THEATERS.— Consider-
able attention has been altiacted to the
case of People ex rel. Burnham vs. Flynn,
100 New York Supplement, 31, owing to
the fact that the plaintiff was the dra-
matic critic of a prominent paper. The
basis of the action is tiiat the defendants

states that the agreement to exclude the

REGULATION OF' CHILD LABOR.—
Laws regulating caild labor have been
before the courts in several states re-
cently, and in State vs. Shorey, 86 Pa-
cific Reporter, 881, the supreme court of
Oregon upholds a recent enactment pro-
hibiting the employment of children
under 16 years of age for a longer
period than ten hours in any one day
or more than six cays in any week. It
was claimed specifically that the law
violated the Oregon constitution de-
claring that all men when they form a
social compact art equal in rights, but
the court holds that this provision does
not interfere wltli the right of he
state to control and regulate the rignt
of a minor to contract, affirming the
doctrine that minors are the wards of
the state, and thav tlie legislature may
throw such protections around them as
it deems necessary. The further pro-
vision that work must not be begun
1 before 7 in the morning and extend
latter 6 at night, is not passed upon in
I this case, as the defendant was not
; accused of violating this provision.

MEMBERS'
SALARIES
Senate Not Likely to
Make Increase Defeated
in House.
May Resent Action in
Regard to Members'

FROM TIIE HERALD
WASlllNCiTON BUKKAU.
Washington, Dec. 24.— (Special to
The Herald.)— Shortly after congress
reassemblas the senate will take up
the legislative, executive and judicial
appropriations bill. . This is the act
which carries appropriations for the
salaries o^f nearly all executive de-
partments of the government as well
as the pay of members of the house
and senate and of the judiciary.
When the bill was up in the house
recently an attempt was made to
provide for an increase of the com-
pensation of senators and members
up to $7,500 a year. But the attempt
failed, very largely because members
were ' afraid to vote for the increase
although it is doubtful if there is
really one m the entire body who was
not prayerfully anxious that the
amendment would go through. As
usual many members who were afraid
to vote for their own interests are
expecting that the senate will re-
store the appropriation when the
measure comes up in the upper house
next week.
But it is more than likeiy that in-
stead of doing what the house really
wants to have done, the senate will

CARRIERS — INJURIES - PROXI-
MATE CALSE.— An Interesting decision
on proximate cause is rendered by the
supreme court of Colorado in Snyder vs.
Colorado Springs & Cripple Creek Dis-
trict Railway company, ^^5 Pacific Report-
er, efiG. A passenger on a crowded car
was standing on the platform with other
passengers, some of whom were on the
steps below. The conductor, in pushing
his way through the crowd of passengers,
pressed the plaintiff against one, who be-
came angry, and pushed the plaintiff with
such force that he was thrown from the
car, passing over the heads of the pas-
sengers standing on the lower steps. The
court says that the proximate cause of
the accident was the action of the pas-
senger who pushed the plaintiff, and cites
its previous definition of proximate cause
as that which in natural and continued
sequence, unbroken by any efficient in-
tervening cause, produced the result com-
plained of, and witliout which the result
could not liave occurred. Under this doc-
trine the company was held not to be

MERCE-REGULATION OF FREIGHT
RATES.— A corporation owning cars in-
tended for the transportation of live
stock indiscriminately on railroads made
pavmcRts to shippers in order to pro-
mote the use of the cars. The corpora-
tion made no other contracts with ship- ,
pers for the use of the cars, but merely |
received mileage from the various rail- \
roads. The question as to whetiier the 1
federal act of Feb. 19, 190S. was violatt^^d i
by such transactions was brought before ,
the United States circuit court for the <
North.-rn district of Illinois in the case
! of Interstate Commerce Commission vs.
I Reichmann, 145 Federal Reporter, l»6, and
that court holds, in consideration of the |
conditions which the statute was de-
signed to remedy, that freight rates must
be construed as meaning the net cost
to the shipper, and that the practice
under consideration was a violation of tlie I
statute.
RIGHTS OF SQUATTERS.— The su-
preme court of Texas adheres to tne
doctrine in force in that state that a
squatter may secure title to land after
ten years' posses.-non in spite of the
fact that he took possession of the
land without anj claim of right and
with the intention of holding the land,
if possible againtt all otlier claims. In

found in Hartmen vs. John B. Park &

whtre the United States circuit court
for the Eastern district of Kentucky
holds that contracts between the manu-
facturer and wholesalers to sell at a
certain price and only to retail dealers
designated by the manufacturer should
be sustained. The court disposes of the
defense that the contracts were unlaw- ,
ful, as in restraint of trade, by a hold- |
ing that the restraint in order to be ,
unlawful must be unreasonable. j

fur the negligence of its manager In
failing 10 notify a nurse of the con-
tagious nature of a case assigned to
her The court points out that tne hos-
pital is incorporated under a general
charter, and that although it has no
capital stock and made no division of
profits, and all its property was de-
voted to charitable uses. It is liable, and
cites a number of English and Ameri-
can cases. The court also rejected the
contention that as the plaintiff was an
apprentice learning a trade, she was
not a servant, and that the corporation
was tlierefore relieved of its ordinary
duty to her in that capacity.
LIBEL-LIABILITY OF MANAGING j
EDITOR— The circuit court of appeals |

that the editor in chief having general j
supervision of the matter contained m ,
a newspaper is not responsible for a 1
libel of which he had no actual knowl-
edge It seems that the publication
was caused by a subordinate during the
absence of the editor in chief. The
court points out that It has never been
really decided that tlic liability of tne
editor is co-extensive with that or the
proprietor, and declined to approve
cases which tend to hold this doctrine.

mm ESCAPE
Of Guest From D^atli in Burning Bay
City Hotel.
Bay City, Mich., Dec. 24.— The Frazer
house, the oldest and largest hotel in
allowed each member of that body
the privilege of appointing a clerk or
private secretary. The names of the
employes are placed upon the regular
roll and they are paid just as other
employees are paid., by the disbursing
officer. If one dies or resigns the
salary of course ceases. The mem-
bers of the house are entitled to
clerks or secretaries equally with the
senators. This fact dawned upon the
members of the house some ten years
ago and they voted themselves ?l,/00
a year each for clerical assistance,
with the proviso that the member
must certify that he had paid, or
had agreed to pay, $100 during the
preceding month for such assistance.
This year the house has increased
the allowance of each member for
clerical assistance to $1,500 per an-
num and has stricken out the pro-
vision requiring certification. In other
words the house has virtually in-
creased the salaries of every mem-
ber who does his own clerical work
to $6,500 per annum, for it is very
well known that a large number of
members employ no secretary. Some
of them claim to have paid over the
previous clerical allowance to their
wives or daughters, or to some other
members of their family. This was
simply to ease their consciences, but
now this will be unnecessary, provid-
ed, of course, that the senate acqui-
esces. During the past few days sen-
ators have very freely discussed this
action of the house, and the con-
sensus of opinion seems to be that
the clause should be amended so as
to provide that every man who draws
the pav of a clerk or secretary should
have his name on the roll, so that
there can be no chance for the petty
frauds which have been common In
the past.
Members of the house have openly
exp'-essed the opinion, on the other
hand, that the senate will restore the
increased salary amendment. But the
senate grew sick of raking chestnuts
out of the fire for the house, years
ago. Up till three years ago it was '

Congressman Sherman of New York
is a victim of the "petard." The
cheerful chairman of the Republican
congressional committee was the
prime mover in the matter of the
enactment of the law which prohioits
the use of a label on food products,
which is in any way misleading as
to the contents of the package. It
seems that the congressman is a
large stockholder in a cannery In
Oneida county, N. Y. His brother is
the manager of the factory, and la^t
summer, owing to the shortage of the
sweet corn crop, it was found that
the Sherman cannery could not fill
all the orders which had been booked.
In consequence, the manager brother
made an arrangement with a pack-
ing house In another state to fill
the order, and agreed to send on
the necessary labels to place on the
cans Daring the late congressional
campaign Mr. Sherman spent most of
his time in headquarters at New
York, and one day he was called up
by telephone.
"Hello, Jim, is that you?' asked
the voice over the wire.
"Yes.," was the response; "who are
you, and what is It?"
•I am your brother up m Utlca.
Is there any other man in congress
named .Sherman?"
"No " replied the man in N,-w
York. '"Why do you ask?"
"Well I have just received a tele-
gram from those corn packers. I'll
read It to you." And then he read
off a dispatch as follows:
"We can't use those labels. Some

Kew York. Dec. 24.— "Tex" Rickard,
Nevada's prize fight promoter, an-
nounced last night his willingness to
give a $50,000 purso for a somewhat
novel battle with James J. Jeffries,
champion of the world, aa the central
figure. Rickard wants Jefferies to
fight -Philadelphia Jack" O'Brien and
"Tommy" Burns to a finish in one ring
on the same day the event to take
place at Goldfleld early in May.
"From what I have been able to
g'ather on my trip through the East
end West," said Rickard, "the sport-
ing public is quite satisfied that
O'Brien or Burns has no chance In-
tllvldually against Jeffries. They be-
Uevo, however, that both of them
■would cause the big fellow to
extend himself In one day. so I have
decided to try and give the public
what It wants.
"I will hang up a purse of $50,000
for the event, and the fighters can di-
vide it as they see fit. Now. it Is up
to Jeffries. O'Brien and Bums to meet
and sign articles of agreement. I don't
think Jeffries can have much cause
for complaint. He is a big. powerful
man, and, as the champion, I don't see
how he can refuse the offer if Burns
and O'Brien are willing."
A dispatch from Los Angeles says
Jeffries is away on a hunting trip,
but his representative declares It Is
extremely unlikely that 'he would ac-
7!ept Rickard's offer.
REGATTAS ON
MISSISSIPPI
Rowing Association Will
be Formed in Central
Western States.
Bloomlnffton, 111.. Deo. 24.— Th© move-
<menl which has been under way for sev-
eral months lookinjs toward the organi-
sation of a rowing or regatta association
among tlie various river towns ot Illinois,
Iowa and Missouri, and wh!ch Is to In-
clude Chicago, will climax Dec. 26, when
rcpreseniatlvee of the various clubs in-
terested will assemble at Qulncy.
It has been deciding lu organize the
Ctntrul S:att:3 Rowing association. Q. J,
Herm.sderter, prtsldent of the North Side
JBottl club, spent several days this week
In Hannibal, and will enter the boat club
of that city In the membership. Charles
Onuse and Fred Edwards of the same
club. Went to Keokuk this week to in-
terest tho members of the rowing organ-
isation there. The Iroquois club ol Chi-
C^ago. Is to bo represented by J. M. Jogl,
aecretary.
Among the other cities counted upon to
Join are Peoria, Burlington, and possibly
Pt. Louis, and one or two others. It Is
ilcFired to enlist every rowing club in
the central states. It ig thought that the
membt-rshlp will increase as the lorm-
Jttion and object btcome known.
At the meeting Dec. 26 officers will be
elected and by-laws and a constitution
adopted. Flans for holding annual re-
f atlas will also be mapped out. It is
elieved that with the formation of this
Hew association that the problem of unit-
ing the rowing interests of the Middle
\\'est has been soUed.
The Iroquois club of Chicago Is com-
posed of several fast scullers. One of
their crew mon includes Fletcher Dobyns,
at one time the stroke of the champion
Harvard eight. These have been compet-
ing upon their own course. The Missis-
Blppl river furnishes an Ideal stream for
the annual regattas as proi>jsed.
Basketball will boom during the holi-
day week In Duluth. and several good
games are scheduled.
The first game will be played this
afternoon, when the Duluth Y. M. C.
A. team will play the second team of
the Blaine high school. The game will
be played in Superior, and a return
game may be played In Duluth later in
the winter.
The team from the Galahead school
in Wisconsin is also expected in Du-
luth some time during the holidays,
to meet the boys' department Y. M. C.
A. team.
In addition to these two games with
outside teams, there will be three or
four good games between local teams
at the Y. M. C. A. The four classes
at the high school have basketball
teams, and each team will meet the
other three before the winter is over.
The first game in the series will be
played during the latter part of the
week, when the juniors and sopho-
mores will come together.
In addition to this game, there will
be one between the teams from the
Outing and Social committees of the
association, and several between the
different grymnaslum classes.
The game is also flourishing at the
senior Y. M. C. A,, althougli no team
has yet been organized to represent
the association against outside teams.
The evening classes In the gymnasium,
however, are now largely devoted to
basketball, and many of the old time
stars are getting Into these contests,
with the result that some fast games
are taking place, and Interest in the
game Is steadily on the Increase.

Chicago, Dec. 24.— With a hea\'y and
classy Indoor track schedule assured and
a record-breaking boom In the ba^sket-
ball and swimming programs, the ma-
roon winter athletics season will open
the first of next month with the date
book for Bartlett gynmaslum practically
full. Unusual activity will prevail at the
big Midway training quarters througliout
the season, and the coaches are waxing
optimistic over their prospects aa the
time for the grand opening approaches.
The loss of Wisconsin In track was
accepted philisoDhically by the mari.ms
as it gives an opportunity of meeting
Michigan again, and the Wolverine-Ma-
roon contests will be far and away
better exhibitions than the Badgers could
furnish. There is now little doubt that
Michigan will schedule two meets with
Chicago.
The Ann Arbor team will be a big
gainer if the conference "three-year* rule
amendment allowing all athletes to fin-
ish up their four years of competition is
finally adopted. Chicago has little to
gain on the issue, but this makes little
difference to the maroon supporters in
their satisfaction in meeting the wol-
verines.
Illinois Is re.^arded as a formidable op-
ponent this ye.ir. The Illini defeated
Chicago twice last year indoors and they
are no longer regarded as small fry.
The entire squad is expected to turn
out for work, Jan. 2, the opening day
of the winler quarters at the university.
The annual effort toward a hockey
team is being made, and it is probable
that the maroons will succeed in organ-
izing a team for the icy game.
Coach Stagg Intends to remain in the
maroon camp for a short time after his
return from New York in order to start
things moving before his return to Indi-
ana. He hopes to finish up the baseball
schedule and assist Coach Dickinson in
getting started with the baseball candi-
dates.

GREAT MERGER
OF PROPERTIES
In Greenwater, Goldfield,
Tonopah and Lida
Being Effected.
The Wallace H. Hopkins company
of Chicago have Just undertaken the
underwriting of a great mining mer-
ger of properties In Greenwater, Cal.,
and Goldfield, Tonopah, and Lida,
Nev., controlled by a syndicate^ head-
ed by MaJ. L. H. French of New
York, one of the best known and
most extensive mining operators in
this country.
The new company is known as the
Nevada-Greenwater Mining, Milling &.
Smelting company, and the holdings
comprise the following: Sixteen cop-
per claims at Greenwater, Cal.; five
copper claims at Lida, Nev.; two gold
claims at Tonopah, Nev.; two gold
claims at Goldfield, Nev.; one lease
on the great Mohawk claim at Gold-
field; one lease on the Kewenas mine
at Goldfield; two leases on the Blue
Bull property at Goldfield; two leases
on the C. O. D. property at Gold-
field.
After going over the details of the
proposition, Wallace H. Hopkins was
so impressed with the possibilities of
the property that he accepted the
presidency of the reorganized company
and induced several of his business
associates to serve on the directorate
with him.
The capitalization is $5,000,000„ dl-
\ided into 1,000,LKW shares, of the par
value of $5 each, all shares fully paid
and non-assessable, and 400,000 shares
have been set aside for tre^ury pur-
poses, there being no preferred stock
and no bonded Indebtedness.
The registrar and transfer agency
of the company Is the Wallace H.
Hopkins company of Chicago. The
depositaries are the Northern Trust
company of Chicago and the State
Bank & Trust company of Goldfleld.
The company was particularly for-
tunate in inducing Maj. French to
act as managing director at the
mines. Maj. French was largely
identified with the development of
the Seward Peninsula In Alaska. He
has built long ditch lines through
various sections of that country, en-
abling thousands of miners to thus
obtain water In large volume, and
under high pressure, with which to
carry on their placer mining opera-
tions, both personally and In associ-
aUon with Charles D. Lane, another
prominent mining man, who has
owned and operated some of the
richest mines in Alaska. Maj. French
was vice president and general man-
ager of the Northwestern Develop-
ment company, an organization hav-
ing a capitalization of $6,250,000, for
the existence of which he was en-
tirely responsible. This company
ownes the Seward Peninsula railway,
which added ninety miles to its lines
auring the past summer, built into
what has hitherto been an impene-
trable wilderness, and which ha.s been
a highly successful and profitable
venture.
Maj. French Is known personally by
mining men from Nome to Nevada
His connection with the Nevada-
Greenwater company Is evidence that
the company's affairs will be carried
forward to a successful completion
in the shortest possible time.

CRITiciSES
NOTED AUTHOR
Rev. Dr. Earl Claims
Jack London's Philos-
ophy is Harmful.
Under the auspicesj of the Y. M. C.
A., Rev. Dr. Earl delivered a stirring
address at tlie Lyceum yesterday after-
noon on the topic of "The Prodigal
Daughter."
Yesterday, being the last Sunday be-
fore Christmas, the speaker made spec-
ial application of his talk to those
who are away from home, who live
In boarding houses and restaurants,
far from their homes, kindred and
friends.
The text was taken from John 4:
2S-2S, and related to the meeting of
Christ with the sir.ning daughter at
the well. Dr. Earl drew vivid pictures
from real life to emphasize his points.
He held there are three steps in the
transformation neceHsary to be saved.
First, coming face to face with one's
self; second, coming face to face with
Christ, and, third, oming face to face
with one's neighbor.
Dr. Earl placed no dependence in the
common statement that man is the re-
sult of his environments. He cited
many examples to show where men
have risen above thiir environments.
He criticised severely the philosophy
of Jack London, whom Dr. Earl claims
has done a great deal of harm through
his writings.
Dr. Earl's declaration that he wished
every saloon in the city could be closed,
caused much enthusiasm. The speaker
said that if the people here wished
any assistance in bringing that condi-
tion he would gladly aid them and even
pay his own "transportation to Du-
luth.
WISCONSIN
CHEERS UP
Badger Athletic Outlook
a Little Better Than
It Was.
Good Basketball and
Baseball Teams and
Fast Crews.
Madison, Wis., Dec. 24.— Some of the
clouds that have been hovering over
athletic horizon at Wisconsin have dis-
appeared and the outlook is promising for
a lively season. The prospects now are
that Wisconsin will have a good bausket-
ball and gymnastic season, and that a
cracking good basball nine, strong track
team and several fast crews will be turned
out. As a whole the outlook is much
mure encouraging than a month ago.
While there is regret that the faculty
was unable to see its way clear to ap-
prove the football modittcations recom-
mended by the intercollegiate conference
committee, the general feeling is that this
matter ultimately will be adjjusted. To be
consistent with the advanced stand it
took a year ago on the question of foot-
ball reform, the faculty thought it could
not very well adopt the proposed modifi-
cations at this tima
Faculty members who favor the modlfl-
cailons liope that they wil be approved by
tho required six members of the "big
nine" and thus put into force and effect,
notwithstanding the action of Wisconsin.
Beyond question a large majority of
the student body and alumni strongly
favor a loosening up oi the reforms
adopted last year. The two things that
seem to especially appeal to the advo-
cates of modilication, are the proposed
lengthening of the schedule of garae.^
from Ave to seven and the adoption of a
uniform date for beginning the season's
training.
Dr. C. P. Hulchlns, the general athletic
dliector, has gone to Philadelphia for the
hclidays, and while in the tlast expects to
see the newly elected Wisconsin aquatic
coach, Edward H. Ten Eyck, and also
confer with the Syracuse university auth-
oiities regarding the proposed sending ot
their varsity crew here next June to race
with the badgers. Dr. Hutchins may also
feel about for a football game with one
ot the big Eastern teams next tall, but
not much is looked for In that direction.
In about ten days there will be busy
scenes at the gymnasium. Coach Ten
Eyck will arrive here immediately after
Ntw Year's and take charge of the row-
ing squad. Until now the squad has been
working under the direction of Capt.
l>avis of the varsity crew. The squad
numbers over sixty, and it has kept the
rowing machines busy almost every after-
noon.
The basketball team will meet Colum-
bia university Jan. 4, and Coach Angell
lias a.sked the players to be back from
their holiday trips home by Jan. 1 to re-
sume training. Two practices a day will
be held thereafter until the night of the
game. This will be the first time Wiscon-
sin has met Columbia since 1903, when it
lost to the Easterns by the score of 1<> to
21.
Immediately after the holidays Dr.
Elsom will renew his work with the
gymnastic team.
The appointment of Joe Whltmore as
baseball captain has stimulated interest
in that department. Dr. Hutchins'
specially Is baseball and he expects to
turn out a team of pennant winners next

tions have been practicing regularly for

And Thirty-Seven Ser-

Collision.
Train Loaded With Peo-
ple Going Home for
Christmas Holidays.
Enderlin. N. D.. Dec 24.— Loaded
to its full capacity with people go-
ing to their homes In the East to
spend the Christmas holidays, the
southbound train on the Minneapolis,
St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie crashed
Into a switch engine in the west end
of the railroad yards at this place at
2:10 o'clock yesterday morning. Eight
men were killed outright, and one
since has died of his Injuries. Thirty-
seven were seriously Injured, and It Is
likely that the death list will be
added to. All of the fatalities oc-
curred In the smoking car, which
was completely telescoped by the
baggage car. Here also were most
of those who were Injured, only two
of the occupants of this car escaping
Injury. The car was crowded, and
as the whistle had Just sounded for
Enderlin. almost every one was on
his feet when the crash came, ^nd
the dead and wounded were piled into
almost Inextricable masses.
As this point is divisional head-
quarters of the road, a rescue party
was soon formed and, assisted by
citizens, the work of taking out the
dead and Injured was begun at once
and continued through the night. The
little hospital was soon crowded to
Its full capacity with those hurt, and
the hotels were converted Into emer-
gency hospitals, where the other in-
jured were cared for. There are but
four physicians In Enderlin, and a
special train with physicians was
hurriedly made up at Valley City and
rushed to the scene of the accident.
The wreckage took fire from the
overturned stoves used in heating
the cars, and there was a race be-
tween the rescuers and the flames.
By almost superhuman efforts the
rescuing party managed to fight off
the flames until all of the dead and
injured had been removed from the
wrecked cars, which then were al-
lowed to burn to get them out of
the "way.
Only a few passengers In the day
coaches were Injured, and In the
sleepers, none of which left the track,
there were no casualties.
The list of those dead Is aa fol-
lows: ,, _

The train which was wrecked was the
southbound accommodation running
between Moose Jaw, Canada and St.
Paul. Minn. It Is due here at 11:45 p.
m., but Saturday night was nearly
three hours late. The engineer was
runnlg his engine at a high rate of
speed in an endeavor to make up the
lost time. A switch engine was shift-
ing a cut of box cars In the western
end of the yards and had Just pushed
them on the siding as the accommo-
dation train suddenly swung into sight
around the curve. The* siding was not
long enough to allow the box cars and
engine to clear the main track, and a
head on collision ensued between the
switch engine and that of the pas-
senger train.
Both locomotives were practically
demolished by the force of the collision
and the baggage car crushed through
the smoking car, completely telescop-
ing it. One of the day coaches also
was derailed and somewhat battered
up, but only a few passengers In this
coach were Injured. The other day
coaches and the sleeping cars did not
leave the track and beyond suffering
from the shock of the collision none
of their occupants was hurt.
It is said that the switch engine
had been given a portion of the run-
ning time of the passenger in which
to shift cars in the yards, and It is
supposed that the passenger train had
made up more of Its lost time than
had been anticipated by the crew of
the switch engine. The coroner im-
panelled a jury and began at once
a rigid Investigation Into the cause of
the wreck.
The engineer and firemen on both the
switch ensrine and that of the pas-
senger, when they saw that a collision
was inevitable, leaped and saved their
lives. The baggageman had a narrow
escape from de.ath and sustained ser-
ious Injury. He was pinioned down
beneath a pile of trunks which was
overturned upon him, and had to be
dug out by the rescuers.
St. Paul. Minn., Dec. 24.— The pas-
sengers who escaped injury in the
wreck of the Soo. train at Enderlin,
N. D., were brought to this city last
night. W. M. Runyan, who was en
route to Fairmont. Minn., and who Is
cashier of the bank at Harvey, stated
that he was riding in the smoking
car in which all of the fatalities oc-
curred.
"The car was crowded," said Mr.
Runyan. "Every seat was occupied,
and there were dozens of men stand-
ing In the aisles. I was sitting In a
seat near the rear of the car when the
crash came. I had my feet on my
suitcase, and as the baggage car tele-
scoped the smoker, I was thrown
through the rear door of the smoker,
landing upon the vestibule of the next
day coach. My legs were pretty bad-
ly used up, and I sustained a severe
scalp wound, but congratulating my-
self upon my lucky escape from shar-
ing the fate of the other passengers in
the smoker, I picked myself up and
did what I could to get the dead and
Injured from the wrecked car.
"The dead and injured and th<j
wrecked seats were mixed together
in an Indlscribable confusion and it
was impossible to get at the victims
until tie side of the car had been
chopped through. The wrecked car did
not at onfce take fire, and I learned af-
terward that this was owing to the rare
presence of mind of one of the in-
jured, who managed to extinguish all
the lamps.
"It is not exactly known who is to
blame for the accident. I was told
that the brakes on the engine of the
freight train were not working well,
and that it became stalled on the main
line. A 1 agman was sent back to warn
the passenger train, but the night was
foggy and the engineer of the passen-
ger train probably did not see the
v\ arnlng signals. The citizens erf fhe lit-
tle town came at once to the assist-
ance of the victims and within an hour
eight dead bodies had been moved from
the smoking car. I was informed that
the number of injured would reach
forty or more, some of whom were
fatally hurt. There is a small private
I'.ospital at Enderlin and this was'
thrown open for the accommodation of
the injured, and such as could not be
cared for there, were taken to the ho-
teLs."
W. R. Danlelson, one of those killed,
was a traveling agent for the J. I.
Ca.se company, with headquarters at
Fargo. On Friday Danlelson has been
ordered to transfer his headquarters to
Casselton. He was on his way to his
home at Sheldon to spend the Christ-
nias holidays with his family when he
was killed.

CJopper Gossip.
Walker Bros, to Paine, Webber & Co.:
The market was weak and unsettled.
Liquidation and a good many stop loss

Anaconda dividend had little effect. We
look for a nervous market for the rest
of the week and until the liquidation
has run its course.

Boston to Paine, Webber & Co.: The
results of tight money were seen again
in steady liquidation. The Anaconda
increased its dividend to 1%, but the
ne-ws fell flat and the stock showed no
rally to speak of. The Boston coppers
were relatively strong all day, Greene
especially being well bought and clos-
ing at the top. The same house which
has been buying Michigan for several
weeks past was active again today and
the stock advanced easily to 22%. The
market position of Allouez, Centennial,
Tecumseh, Michigan and Old Dominion
is very strong, the floating stocks being
scarce and the den\and good. We look
for slightly easier money after Christ-
mas and would advise every one to
take advantage of any rally wnich may
occur then to sell what stocks they
have with the idea of getting them
back when money tightens again
around the first of the year.

Market Looked Demoral-
ized When the Day's
Trading Began.
Closed Heavy and Slightly
Above the Lowest
Figures.
New York, Dec. 24.— The stock mar-
ket looked demoralized when trading
began today. Saturday's break in prices
and the uneasinesit caused by the fail-
ure of a stock exciiange house brought
on heavy selling orders and buying or-
ders were meager. Reading sold down
to 131 with 200-share lots at different
figures and 10,000 shares at 131% to 131.
The Northwestern stocks also con-
tinued acutely depressed. Great Nortli-
ern preferred lost 4%; Nortliern Pacific,
3%; Anaconda, 5%; Dalaware & Hud-
son, 3%; Canadian Pacific, - 3; >St. Paul,
2%; and the list generally from a large
fraction to 2 points. There was some
recovery during tlie first hour.
Temporary support was extended to
the market wiun the sliorts began to
buy, but the rallies which followed of
1 to 2 points were short lived and prices
broke again violently. An enormous
amount of Reading and grain carriers
were disposed of at rapidly falling
prices. The low prices established
showed losses of Ijetween 1 and 2 points
generally and well beyond that in spe-
cial cases.
There was a marked subsidence of
selling pressure and substantial recov-
eries on a much diminished volume of
trading. Some stacks scored complete
recoveries. Rallies of 2 to 2% occurred
in the Hill stocks, Reading, St. Paul
and Delaware & Hudson. Western
Maryland sold at a decline of 5%. Bonds
were heavy.
A generally firmer tone prevailed, but
there was not much energy di.'^played in
putting up prices, speculation ruling very
dull. Great Nortliern Ore certificates
sold 1% over Saturday's closing.
Prices were not materially altered in
the middle of the afternoon.
The market closed heavy above the
lowest. The marke;. was practioally stag- ,,
nant for the most of the afternoon, but "^„
in the last few minutes of trading there
was a relapse again, in some stocks to
the lowest. Great Northern preferred
6%. American Ice jumped 4%.

COREAN GHOSTS DAMMED.
In this age of spooks and disem-
embodied inlluences that swirl and
gibber about the heads of unseeing
mortals in flocks instructive upon
the care and culture of spirits may
be gained from the Coreans. These
people dam up the walls of their
tombs so that the spirits of the dead
may not run down liill and thus
become a terrible menace to the
living, says the New Y'ork Sun.
A Corean chooses always for the
site of a tomb some steep hillside,
high above the floor of the valley,
that the imps of darkness coming up
through the middle of the earth may
have a hard climb uphill after they
have emerged from the ground before
they reach the burial place of tha
deceased.
The tomb closely resembles a
saucer with the cup inverted and set
down in its middle. The edges of
the saucerlike dike about the cen-
tral circular mound are raised some-
times to the height of four or five
feet and carefully turfed so as to
resist the washing effect of the win-
ter rains. Thus the spirit of the
deceased, burled deep under the
central mound, is effectually dam-
med in and mewed up by the en-
circling wall of earth.
If by chance during flood the re-
taining wall of the tomb should give
way and be carried down hill the
faithful Corean son or brother of the
deceased hurries out with his wooden
spade and rebuilds the dam as
speedily as possible. He fears lest
the restless spirit within the tomb
should be washed down hill with
the earth and then the lives of all
the living kin would be forever
blighted. For nothing Is so horrible
in Corea as a spirit that has es-
caped its tomb and wanders in
venegful mood about the habitations
of the living.
PRECAUTIONS FOR, NOT AGAINST.
"Lieut. Frank Lahm, who is now the
world's champion balloonist," said an
aeronaut in New York, "is a young
man with a muscular figure and a
resolute face. He is remarkable in
aeronautics for his skill and his pru-
dence.
"I once heard an inventor describing
to him a rather poor invention in the
way of a safety anchor.
"'A safety anchor, eh?" said Lahm.
'Well, with that anchor I should be
about as frightened as the old lady
in the skyscraper hotel.
"On being assigned to a room on the
ninteenth floor, she asked the bell hop
nervously if the proprietor had taken
any precautions against fire.
" ' Yes, ma'am," said the bell hop;
'he has. The place is insured for three
times its real value.* "

PERCENTAGEJN POKER.
"All Jacks" and a Small Limit Ruin the
Game. *
The soft click of ivory chips in the next
room could be heard plainly by the httle
group of men who sat discussing games
of chance in a place uptown which has
been (officially) closed for months. They
were talking of percentages, and as usual
there was much argument. Suddenly one
man turned the talk into a new channel,
says the New York Sun.
"in playing faro," he said, "I disregard
the percentage entirely. 1 play a short,
quick game, and if the luck is with me
the percentage doesn't count. If it's
against me, I'm beaten anyhow. In a
long sitting, of course, it's different, but
when it comes to draw poker 1 sometimes
think it's all percentage, and I seriously
doubt whether anybody understands it.
Of course there are some who have mas-
tered the mathematics of the draw,
though there are comparatively few play-
ers who understand that well enough to
be interesting. More than that, if there's
yny way ot playing poker that makes it
iabsurdlv easy to win,- I'm open to argu-
1 ment."
I "It's not the simplest thing In the
world to explain," said the other, "and I
reckon it won't be every b<jdy that will
understand it when it is explained, but
some general rules may help.
"In the first place, the money you put
up in poker is bet either against a math-
ematical proposition or against a bluf£-a
bluff being nothing more or less than an
attempt to misstate the mathematics. In
playing a bluit. or playing against one,
there is nothing but the personal equa-
tion to be considered. Either you are
called or you're not. Eitlier you call a
bluff or you don't. Mathematics dont
help you.
"Aside from the bluff, it is compara-
tively easy to show how the mathematics
should be figured. I don't say it's easy
to figure. It isn't everybody that can
figure quickly and accurately enough m
the progress of a game to do him any
good, even if he knows how; and it
isn't everybody tiiat can keep his nerve
steady enough to play according to his
figures when he has tliem in his head.

Gay & Sturgis: The News Bureau
this morning iiays: The financial
world will be busy this week with
preparation for tlie d sbursement of the
largest interest and dividend payments

d'sbiiisements are generally more or
lef.s disturbing in financial circles, but
this year, owing to unusual tension in
niorey by reason of our enormous capi-
ta' requirements, the task is a difficult
one, and it will necessitate the most
careful handling to avert acute condl-
tioi.s. Moreover, the situation abroad
is & milar to the situation here. Ster-
ling exchange is at the gold Imports
point and yet our bankers are loatn to
draw English, fe irlng that such action I
would operate to raise the Bank of
England rate and disturb money the
world over. It ifi believed that our in-
debtedness has been reduced, partly as
a result of our exports of .products,
and partly because necessity has com-
pelled some shifting of the indebted-
ness to this side. The security market
continues sensitive and Irregular.
What liquidation has been in evidence
has been largely in the high priced
stocks. There is apparently nothing in
the general situation to invite selling
and where it has developed it has prac-
tically been forced rather than volun-
tary. No one can study the phenomen-
al prosperity of the country and the

Anaconda Dividend.
New York,, Dec 24.— The directors of
the Anaconda Copper company today de-
clared a quarterly dividend of $1.75 per
The' dividend declared is an Increase of

paid As the pa' value of the stock is
$25 per share th s makes the quarterly
dividend paid toe ay equal to 7 per cent
or at the rate of 28 per cent annually.
the
sound conclusions in actual play. Then,
when you remember that the closest rea-
soning and the soundest play count for
nothing against an accident in some
other player's hand, it seems to me that
poker is the most intricate game there
is."
"One trouble with the game of poker,"
said a prematurely gray man, "is that so
many people are not content to play
poker. They are forever making improve-
ments on the game, or what they con-
sider improvements. Tlie result is a non-
descript amusement whicli follows some
of the rules of tlie real game, but which
will throw the best player out of his
gait. One of these new varieties is so
popular in New York just now that 1 ven-
ture to say it is played in two out of
every three poker circles In the city. 1
mean 'all jacks' with a small limit.
"In tiie first place, a jack pot is an In-
novation. It did not come in till atiout
thirty years ago, and the proof of this is
that Gen, Schenck. who wrote the first
authoritative rules of the game, said
nothing about a jackpot. It was intro-
duced to avoid a waste of time in abor-
tive deals; and grew in favor because
players quickly saw that it provoked high I game if he allows his
play. By playing all jacks, however, the ! the amount they cost
number of abortive deals is increased
rather than decreased, and the placing a
limit serves the double purpose of pre-
venting high play by the man who should
play high and of tempting the man who
should stay out to what is actually high
play, considering his cards.
"Now I know of no reason why people
who like that game shouldn't play it. If
they play with a Joker, as a good many
do. why that's all right, too. They may
play the game witli the big and little
cassino, the double pinochle, his nobs
and his heels, and still be within the
scope of their political rights as citizens
of the United Slates, unless, indeed, they
play for money. In that case 1 suppose
it's an open question.

"After fixing in the mind the first pro-

should ever be made at odds which are
disproportionate to the chance of win-

problem, which is the calculation of his

ACTS OF KINDNESS.
Some men are prompted by selfish-
ness, some by pure benevolence, in
showing kindness to their fellows, th©
person benefited profiting the same,
whatever the prompting of his bene-
factor; though it must be said that
while a kindness! prompted by selfish-
ness may be as beneficial as any other
as far as it goes, yet it is likely to be
limited in measure, says the New York
Sun. For a fair example of what
might be described as a limited selfish
kindnes.s take the following:
Trolley car coming along a thor-
oughfare under which runs a branch
of the subway. Drunken man on the
trolley car, who wants to get off at a
certain cro.ss street, which is also a
station street of the subway.
As he rises to go the drunken man
sways uncertainly on his feet, as he
does also on the platform of the car,
and in the street, at the car steps,
when he .sets foot on the ground.
A busy thoroughfare this, with lots
of autoniobies passing; one likely to
come along any second and pick up
this drunken man and throw him
forty-seven thousand feet, to come
down somewhere without ever know-
ing what hit him: which the trolley
I conductor, who has an eye on him all
the time as he steps down oft the car,
! realizes perfectly.
! And the conductor takes no chances.
He doesn't want a man put off his car
! run down, indicating pos.sibly careless-
ness on his part, or haste in putting
hi muff or in starting, getting him pos-
I sibly into all sorts of trouble, and so,
} when he sees the drunken man still
j wabbling on his feet after he has
: stepped off, the conductor acts prompi-

call it that.
"Whether a man plays draw poker or
all jacks, and whether he plays a limit
or table stake game, it remains true that i

I whole lot of money that they have no

I don't go broke or quit the game is that
the people they play with play equally
badly.
"Nobody will pretend to say that an
amateur with average only can play
with a party of professional gam-
blers without incurring the practical
certainty of losing as much money as he
is willing to put into the game. As a
consequence of this, most people say and
think that the professional gamblers
habitually play a crooked game. They
believe that if the professionals played
fair the amateurs would stand a fair
show of winning. ^ . .v, *

professional gamblers, nearly all of them,

ChicKen Thieves Attempt
to Secure Cheap Christ-
mas Dinner.
The police made a killing on sneak
thieve.s last evening, rounding up no
less than I'.iree, accused of three dif-
ferent ot^ensea.
A pair of chicken thieves attempted
to get a cheap Christmas dinner last
evening at the expense of Robert Stltt,
proprietor of the Esmoitd hotel. Mr.
Stitt has a chicken house on Michi-
gan street and Twentieth avenue west,
where he kept a number of hens and
turkeys, which he was fattening for
the table. La.st evening he got a tip
lliat a robbery of the chicken coop
had been planned, and he kept watch.
He saw two men enter the house and,
stepping in, grasped them by the col-
lars. Mr. Stitt is a husky man of
more than six feet height, and he held
the two men in spite of their struggles,
calling for police at the top of his voice.
A pas.serby came running up. and one
of the men is claimed to have drawn
a revolver and to have threatened to
shoot. He made his escape, but not
before he had been disarmed. The
other man was taken into custody, and
turned over to the police. He gave
his name as Charles Wall, and a grand
larceny charge will be laid against
him.
• * *
George Daydroff, alias George Ryan,
was arrested on a warrant charging
him with grand larceny.
He is claimed to have stolen a razor
and a coat from the Sixth Avenue
hotel at Sixth avenue west and Michi-
gan street.
He was arraigned in the municipal
court this morning, and waived his
preliminary examination, being bound
over to the grand jury.
• « •
James Muller. a clerk employed by
Julius .\brahamson, was arrt-sted this
morning for the theft of some tobacco
and vvl-.isky from his employer. He
is claimed to have stolen two bottles
of whisky and a box of cigars Satur-
day. He will be arraigned on a
charge of petty larceny.
These three cases are about the only
larceny cases -which have come to the
notice of the police during the Christ-
m.as season. A number of thefts from
stores are generally reported at this
time of the year, but this year they
have been trivial.
LATE DOINGS IN
UPPER MlCttlGAN
Girl is Shot by Maniac
at Houghton and
Dies.
Houghton. Mich., Dec. 24.— (SpccitI to
The Herald.)— Within an hour of her
wedding Miss Ida Holms was shot
down Saturday afternoon by a de-
mented man. while walking along the
street with her fiance, Herman John-
son. She died in the hospital last
night. Johnson and Miss Holms came
from Baraga to be married. They spent
the early part of the afternoon buying
household furniture and furnishings.
They had just come from a dry goods
store when a man. brandishing a re-
volver suddenly rushed up to Miss
Holms and began hring. Johnson niado
a brave atteiapt to throw the man
down. l)ut before he could be disarmed
Miss Holms fell, riddled with bullets.
The demented man was found to be
Alexand^-r Konola. Konola did not
know the girl he shot, acording to per-
sons acquainted with botii. He nus
lived here ten years and had a wife
and three children. His wife deserted
hi:n some time ago and he h.is been
looking for her. It is thought he
mistook Miss Holms for his wife. He
will be examined regarding his sanity
within a few days.
St. Ignace.— Representative-elect Jas.
T. Bennett, father of the Upper Penm-
sula separate statehood propo.yition, an-
nounces that should serious objection
be raised thereto by the Lower Michi-
gan solons, he will drop the project.
Hence it is likely that the scheme will
not even be broached at Lansing.
Hancock— The purchase of the tug .Ad-
venturer by Nels J. Benson of Tower,
Minn., who prop'ised to use it on Ver-
milion lake, prov.-d a jioor investment. In
company with tlie small steamer Mary
Bell, sold to Edward Osterberg. al.so of
Tower, the Adventurer started for the
head of Lake Superior In tow of the tug
Tramp. The sea proved too rough, how-
ever, and the boats headed back for On-
tonagon, but near that port the .\dven-
turer broke adrift and went upon the
beach. She is full of water and sand,
and f'fforts to release her have failed.
Nothing more will be done until spring,
when the machinery will be taken out
and the lioat probably abandoned. The
Mary Bell will remain at Ontonagon for
the winter.
of his demise a resident of Marquette, |
Mrs. Carrie A. Butler, through Oshkosh, j
Wis., attorneys, has caused a complaint I
to be served upon the United States Cas-
ualty company demanding damages in
the sums of $5,000 and JIO.WO. The death
of Butler resulted from ptomaine poLson-
ing, said to have been caused by diink-
ing a glass of milk. The complaint al-
leges two causes of action, the first, that
the drinking of the milk, supposedly
pure, July 19, 190<5, occasioned accidental
death, which occurred at a St. Louis hos-
pital Aug. 5. For this, $5,000 is claimed,
that being the face of the policy held
by the deceased in the defendant com-
pany. As a separate cause of action, the
railroad clause is invoked. The com-
plaint allegfes that the policy provided
that in case the accident causing death
occurred on a train, the Indemnity shall
be twice as great as the face of the policy,
which in this Instance would be $10,000. It
is asserted that the milk was drunk on a
Chicago & Alton railroad train between
Chicago and St. Louis, and that there-
fore the double Indemnity provision ap-
plies.

JOHN D. TALKS ON
WEYERHAEUSER
His Fortune Overesti-
mated—Says Courts
Must be Respected.
New York, Dec. 24.— "It will be a sorry
day for the country and for all of us
wlien our courts are not respected or
when we cannot respect them and when
our laws are not upheld. What else can
I do but go to court when summoned?"
John U. Rockefeller clianged from his
most interesting golfing mood to pro-
found seriousness as ha made this an-
I swer to a reporter on a Jersey City
I ferryboat.
] As usual, Mr. Rockefeller asked to
be excused from discussing business,
but with unusual freedom he talked of
I the responsibilities of wealth, the
prodigality of the American people and
the majesty of the law and for the first
time mentioned his new rival as an al-
leged "billionaire," the head of the
lumber trust.
"Do you believe you are a poor man
beside Frederick Weyerhaeuser, the
lumbertnan who has been written up
as 'richer than Rockefeller?' "
This Question amused the oil king
much.
•'I think, as in other cases, his for-
tune has been greatly overestimated,"
Mr. Rockefeller replied. "I do not know
Mr. Weyerhaeuser personally, but my
people have had business dealings with
him. He has always been spoken of as
a man of high honor and integrity."
"But if Mr. Wayerhaeuser gathered a
billion dollars' worth of the natural re-
sources of the country at a time when
It was not known how vital they would
be to the welfare of the whole people,
do you believe his fortune a menace?"
"I am not prepared to discuss the
ethics of large fortunes," Mr. Rocke-
feller replied, "but this much I can
tell you. Great wealth Is a great bur-
den, a great responsibility. It invari-
ably proves to be one of two things—
either a great blessing or a great curse.
We are only stewards.
"The American people are prodigal
and our extravagance will have to bo
paid for by some one. We cannot buy
toys always. Our present pace is one
that cannot be kept up."
It is known that among Mr. Rocke-
feller's Christmas disbursements was
%WVm to the board of foreign missions
of the United Presbyterian church for
the erection of collegiate buildings in
Egypt and the Eeryptlan Soudan. Mr.
Ro'^kefeller's charitable bureai: in the
Standard Oil building was instructed to
give a "Teddy bear" or some other
present to each child In the model tene-
met\t house in West Forty-second
street.
ITS RBDORD
A mm ONE
Duluth CoMpbres Favor-
ably With mkf Cities in
November Building.
One of Sixteen to Show
Gain Over Pre-
ceding Year.
The building permit record of thlrty-
flve of the leading cities of the count-
try for November, show that the city of
Duluth compares very favorably with
its sister municipalities in the way of in-
creasing building operations last month
over the same perlocl in 1905.
Duluth was one o' sixteen cities that
showed a gain while there were nineteen
cities that showed 1 loss as compared
with November operations a year ago.
Following is a statement showing the
cost of buildings in the 35 cities during
November, 1905 and 1906:
Menominee— While kneeling in his stable
fixing a manger. Charles Riemer of Ocon-
to. Wis., died of heart disease. His wife
found him dead on his knees. Riemer
was 69 years old and leaves a wife and

Chicago, Dec. 24.— In a fight on State

utes after receiving the wound. The

DROPPED DEAD.
John Demassh of Minneapolis Expires
Suddenly at Nibbing.
Hlbbing. Minn.. Dec. 24.— John Demassh
of Minneapolis, a member of the Pride
of Minneapolis lodge, M. B. A. dropped
dead in Joe Ranger's saloon here Sat-
urday night, the cause being alcoholism.
Mr. Demassh had been in the city but
a short time, and other than that he had
been drinking heavily, little was known
of him. A gold watch and chain and
some small change was all that was
found upon his person and the lodge
card in his pocket was the only means
of identification.
TWO MINERS KILLED
By Fall of Ore in Myers Mine Near
Chisholm.
Chlsholm, Minn.. Dec. 24.— Damlk
Champo, 40 years old, and Damik Obic-
tor. 3u years, are buried in the Myers
mine about two miles from this villatge.
and It is certain that both are dead.
While the unfortunate miners were
working in the drift a large amount of
ore unexpectedly fell burying them be-
neath Its tremendous weight. Immediate-
ly afterward a crew of 150 men wa-s
placed at work to rescue them, but the
ore keeps caving in as fast as removed.
Champo had resided In Chisholm for
many years and leave^ a wife and child
in Europe. Obictor was unmarried.
THE SHEA TRIAL
Motion for Dismissal of the Case is Be-
ing Argued.
Chicago. Dec. 24.— At the opening
of the defense in the Shea trial to-
day. Attorney Cruice, for the defend-
ants, made a motion that the case
be taken from the jury and the de-
fendants discharged, on the ground

case of conspiracy. The motion 'was
opposed by the state, and the argu-
ments upon it continued the greater
part of the day.
ROMANCE BEHIND
DE RAYLAN CASE
Mad Infatuation for Rus-
sian Nobleman May be
One kcret
Chicago, Dec. 24.— A secret love
story, which caused her to flee her
native country, a mad infatuation
for a Russian nobleman, may be be-
hind the mystery revealed by the
death at Phoenix, Ariz., of Nlcholai
de Raylan, who has by a coroner's
jury been declared to have been a
woman.
The full story behind the mascu-
line disguise assumed by the Russian
consulate clerk, will probably be re-
lated In the probate court.
In the last will made by De Ray-
Ian reference is made to a 13-year-old
boy, living at the home of "Mrs."
Anna de Raylan, r.92 California ave-
nue, Chicago, as "My beloved son."
Baron Schlippenbach, Russian consul
to Chicago, is remembered in the
will, which containsi eleven provisions,
the ' last of which, relating to the
Russian consul, is iS follows:
"Of all the money found in the
safe of Baron Schllppenbach, belong-
ing to me at the Lime of my death,
the same being in several envelopes
and boxes, I give arid bequeath one-
half to Baron Schllppenbach for his
own personal use, arid the other half
I give and bequeath to my beloved
wife for her own use."
In the will De Jiaylan planned to
carry the secret of sex to the grave,
the ninth provision being as follows:
"It is my wish that my beloved
wife, Anna de Raylan. shall wash
and dress my body after death, and
that my beloved sm, Harry Qeorge,
shall comb my ha r. And it Is my
wish that I be bur;ed in my uniform
of the Chicago Hussars."
Between sobs the woman who posed
as De Raylan's wife, is reported to
have declared:
"Whether Nicolai de Raylan was a
man or a woman, I love him."
BRYCE GETITNG READY
Will Leave for Washington About Middle
of February,
Dublin, Dec. 24.— James Bryce, who is
to succeed Sir Mortimer Durand as
British ambassador at Washington,
has returned to the chief secretary's
office in the castle and Is busy wind-
ing up his affairs there preparatory to
handing over the pest to his successor.
It is expected that Mr. Bryce will re-
main in Dublin until about Jan. 5,
after which he will return to London
and arrange his private affairs. It
I is understood that he will leave for
I Washington about the middle of
February.
There Is an increasing tendency in
Dublin to regard Augu&tin Birrell, the
president of the boe.rd of education, as
the most probable successor of Mr.
Bryce as chief 3e<:retary to Ireland.
He would be universally acceptable to
the Irish leaders.

GRIP OF SNOW ON
KENMARE LINE
Soo's Rotaries Kept Busy
on East and West
Branch.
Thief River Falls, Minn., Dec, 24. —
The snow blockade on the Thief River
Falls-Kenmare branch of the Soo .sys-
tem has been the most persistent and
complete of any in the West this win-
ter. The Thief River yards are block-
aded with North Dakota bound
freight. No blame is attached to the
road for its inability to run trains.
Rather, Its efforts are to be commend-
ed, for despite the fact that it is an
impossibility to run trains on schedule
time, the officials aim to keep traffic
going as much as possible.
Farmers who live near a stalled
passenger train are reaping a harvest
from the hungry passengers. Exorbi-
tant prices are asked for food, but in
most cases a little bluffing is all that
is necessary to drive the price down to
a reasonable figure.
Everything possible is being done to
allay the sultering, and in many in-
stances the Soo officials have paid the
expenses themselves.
Large snowplows of both the Jull
and rotary patterns are being used to
open the road.
All of the trains have been .stalled
between Adams and Overly and be-
tween Grano and Tolley, at the west
end.
Fuel conditions are discouraging.
Nearly all the stations are out of coal,
and in some places the agents liave
taken down the company coal stoves
and have substituted wood stoves and
are using wood. Citizens are also suf-
fering and several hundred carloads of
coal will be required to meet the de-
mand.
St. John's Episcopal church of Lake-
side will hold services Christmas day as
follows: 8 a. m. Holy communion and
Christmas carols. Sermon and holy com-
munion at 10:30 o'clock. Rev. Albert
Parker, pastor.
At the English Lutheran Synod church,
corner of Twentieth avenue west and
Third street, there will be special serv-
ices Christmas day at 11 a. m.. Rev. E.
Wulfsberg. the pastor, will preach ob the
Gospel for the day. The choir will sing, j
"Hark, the Herald Angels Sing," by \
Haarklow and "Angels from tho Realms j
of Glory," by Reid. The offertory num- |
ber will be "The Crown on the Hill," j
by R. Shaw, sang by Miss Carrie
Thompson. The Christmas tree festival
for the Sunday school will take place
Wednesday evening at 7:30 p. m. A pro-
gram of songs and recitations will be
given. An offering for the Wild Rice Or-
phans home will be taken.
For tho.se who desire entertainment
there will be ample means to satisfy
their craving. All of tne theaters will
have unusually good attractions. The
Lyceum will have Adelaide Thurston, the
Duluth young woman who has made a
striking success in the theatrical world,
the Bijou will have a bill especially en-
gaged for holiday week and the Metro-
pohtan will ha%'e one of the best bur-
lesque shows on the road.
THE GUILTY MAN
MADE HIS ESCAPE
And Two Innocent Par-
ticipants In Row Were
Arrested.
Down in a colored boarding house,
where the red lights glitter, there was
trouble last night, and two innocent
participants were arrested and ar-
raigned In court this morning, while
the guilty man escaped.
Eugene Linden, the porter of the
establishment, thought he heard burg-
lars in the house last night, and wont
to investigate. He was carrying a tray
containing a beer bottle and some
glasses at the time. As he looked into
one of the rooms, a man brushed by
him, knocking the glasses from the
tray, and headed for the street door.
Linden picked up the bottle and heaved
it at the fleeing man. Just as he
threw it the front door opened and the
figure of Sam Johnson appeared there-
in. The fugitive ducked and the bottle
caught Johnson full in the chest. A
moment later the fugitive butted him in
the third button of the waistcoat and
fled into the darkness.
The police hotfooted to the scene
of the row, but the only persons In
sight were Linden and Johnson, who
was trying to catch his lost breath
once more. The coppers took them in
RUNAWAY GIRL.
From Duluth Found Working in Res-
taurant at Eveleth.
Eveloth, Minn., Dec. 24.— Truant Offi-
cer Withrow came here Saturday
night in search of Alvia Pickard. who
left her home in Duluth without the
consent of her parents. She was
found at the California restaurant,
employed as a waitress.
She came to Eveleth last Tuesday
with a young woman whom she
claimed as her sister, but the girl de-
nies this. They secured employment
at the Hotel McNeil, remained there
until Friday, when they went to the
California as night waitresses.
Miss Pickard's companion says she
became so unruly that she telephoned
to Duluth for some one to come after
her.
Miss Pickard is of a very attractive
appearance, refined, and her manner
Is exceptionally pleasing.
TWO REBELS KILLED.
Havana, Dec. 24. — A dispatch from
Guines, this province, today announced
that a patrol of rural guards has had
an encounter with five mounted insur-
gents. The two parties exchanged shota
with the result that two of the insur-
gents were killed and two were cap-
tured. The fifth man escaped.
BREAKS LEG
WHILE SKIING
Percy Nelson Falls While
Jumping Over Small
Bluff.
The first skiing accident of the year
took place yesterday afternoon, when
Percy Nelson, a 17-year-old boy, broke
his leg.
He was skiing with several compan-
j ions about a mile above the boulevard,
at Twenty-fifth avenue west. When
I attempting to take a "jump" over a
I small bluff, he fell and twisted his
I right leg under him, breaking it. His
I companions carried him six blocks
j through the snow until they met a
I man witli a sleigh, who took the boy to
I his home, at Nineteenth avenue west
and Michigan street.
WOULD SACRIFICE SELF
TO SAVE BOY FROM PRISON.
Sioux City, Iowa, Dec. 24.— Rather than
See his son sent to state's prison, John
Wheeler declared yesterday he W3Uld
take his place.
The Wheeler boy Is only 13 years old,
and it was upon his statement that the
father was arrested for assault. Since
then there has been some evidence
throwing suspicion upon the boy, but
the father declared passionately that
, rather than see his son accused ho
would plead guilty and go to the penl-
j tentiary, though Innocent.
I Wheeler has protested his innocence
since his arrest. He declares as soon
as he finds the guilty person ho will
shoot him on sight. He says he may
have to spend years in prison, but
as soon as he is released the search
for the asallant of his little daughter,
aged 6, will be continued, ending at
last in the person's death. Wheeler !■
a packinghouse man, and so far from a
reluctance to go to prison is con-
cerned, he declares, only, the disgrace
of it deters him. The work, he says,
Is no worse than what he has to per-
form In the packinghouse.

WANTED TO BE SOLD.
A Davenport lady brought home
from Europe recently a letter which
she considers one of the most Inter-
esting souvenirs of her trip, says the
Des Moines Register. It came to her
the day after her visit to a curio shop
In Rome, where the proprietor wanted
160 for a statuette of David, in Car-
rara marble, after Michael Angelo.
She offered $40, which the proprietor
could not f.iink of accepting; but he
asked her name and hotel, and next
morning he received the following let-
ter:
Romi 8th March. — Dear Madame:
Tonight I have made a dream. I saw
David alive! He was very angry witli
me. He asked me 'Why don't you let j
me go to America? The beautiful lady I
will take care of me. 1 want to see
the new world. I won't stay in Rome
any longer! I want to travel as a
tourist.'
"I could not say anything against
and have decided to deliver It at the
price of 46 dollars. Now the differ-
ence between your offer and mine is
only 6 dollars, and hope you won't
have any objection to buy it.
"This morning entering my store
David had a bad look. He looked as
If he would throw his stone to me in-
stead of throwing it to Golia! I was
frightened! Good lady, buy it! Other-
wise David will die of a broken heart
and I — will go after him.
"Bes wishes to the genteman and
the gentle Signorina who was with you
yesterday, and hoping to see you again,
I am much obliged for your kindness.
Yours truly.
"C. MANETTI' Sculptor."
It is almost needless to say that the
lady surrendered at this appeal and
that David enjoyed his trip to America.
UNCERTAIN OBITUARY.
Atlanta Constitution: A Georgia man
has written the following on an oak slab
which mark.s a supposed grave in a
meadow:
'This spot Is sacred to the memory of
A faithful animal— a white mule, born ten
ytars before the Civil war, and went
thrcugh that war on a rush, from Bull
Rur to Lee'-i surrender. We ain't certain
that the mule died here, but when last
seen the faithful critter was grazing on
this Identical spot and trying to kick a
lightnlns Hash back to the clouds."

Washington. Dec. 2 5,— Early in tha
present session, Senator Lodge intro-
dnced a resolution to the effect
that congress would support appro-
priate .-ction taken by the adminis-
tration of alleged atrocities in the
Congo country, if the administra-
tion thought it wise to take such
Bteps in co-operation with other
countries. That resolution was
crowded aside in the committee on
foreign relations because the Alge-

at the last meeting of that com-
mittee it was considered, but no
action was taken because a quorum
was not present. Senators Lodge,
Spooner, Cullom. Foraker and Mor-
gan were favorable to it, and the
indications are that both Republi-

It when it gets into the senate.

COMMISSIONERS
NOT SATISFIED
With Progress of tiic
Negro Development
Exposition Company.
Washington, Dec. 25.-The James-
town fxposition committee met yester-
day in the office of Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury Edwards to receive
a report from I. W. Johnson, president,
and C. B. Jackson, director general of
the Negro Development Exposition
company, as to what is being done to
prepare an exhibition of negro pro-
gress at the exposition. Secretary
.<haw as chairman, presided, and Sec-
retaries Taft and Metcalf were present.
The commissioners are not satisfied
with the situation and, since congress
has appropriated JIOCWO for the ne-
gro exposition, they have called on
Director General Jackson to submit a
detailed report within a week showing
what progress has been made looking
to the erection .'f the negro building
and the collection of the negro ex-
Bilis amounting to nearly 135,000
have been received at the treasury
for payment out of the fund appro-
priated by congress, but they have not
as yet been approved by ihe secretary
of the Commission. Assistant Secretary
Edwards. G. B. Jack.«on, the director
general, has submitted a bill for $20,-
iH<h salary, which he claims is due him
for two years' service. The bill has
been rejected by the comptroller of the
treasury, who holds that the appro-
priation was for prospect iv** services
find prospective exhibit and not for
past services. At the request of
Messrs. Johnson and Jackson, the
commission adjourned over a week, at
which time the officers of the Negro
Development exposition company will
submit a detailed report detailing the
progress and the obligatir>ns incurred.

chap named Juanilie, with whom both

Some days ago the sisters had their
first open quarrel about th*- young man.
The next morning they left the house
together at daylight. Carmen came back
alone. Questiortfc disclo.sed the fact that
each had taken a revolver and gone to a
lonely tobacco field to light a duel.

The sisters previously had been de-

Lajas has it that they did not shoot at
eaeh otl'.er, but <lrew lots to see which

appeared.

Chicago, Dec. 25.— The three-day won-

Nlcolai dc Raylan, I'or years clerk to
Baron Schlippenbach, Russian consul in
Chicago, was a woman, a discovery
only made after her death In Phoenix,
Ariz., has been solved toy the admis-
sions of the two women with whom
she lived as "husband."
The motive for De Raylan's masquer-
ade which had been kept up for fif-
teen years, is mixed, Part of it dates
back to her early affair with u girl in
Southern Russia, at the first period of
her assuming "manhood," and part of
the explanation is found !n her connec-
tion with i-evoluticnary "bunds" in

and Mrs. Anne De Itaylan, 592 Califor-

in Russia. The wonun, De Raylan, was

There had been the usual Christmas

din produced from its hiding place a
neatly wrapped parcel which he had
bought several days previously. He
handed it to his wife and kissed her.
•'I wish you a Merry Christmas, my
dear," he said, "and ."'
The sentence was not finished. He put
his hand to his side, reeled and fell
to the floor. In another moment he
was a corpse, and his wife was sobbing
over him, with the parcel lying un-
opened on the floor. He was 62 years
old.
Washington, Dec. 25.— A general
suspension of public business marked
the celebration of Christmas in this ;
city. Only matters of the most ur- |

consequence the army of government

give thimselves over to the enjoy-

ens Puritanial Sunday
If Lid Party Wins.
Chicago, Dfc. 2: —A puritanical Sun-
day for Chicago, with idle street cars and
tUvated railroads out of commission, with
no newspapers and no Sunday theaters
or even sacred concerts. Is the retalia-
tion thriatt-ned by Alderman Michael
j K« nna if he is forced to close his saloons
; on Sunday.
I This will be the last resort if the alder-
man and other saloonkeepers are com-
ptlltd to cIo.><t; on Sundays. It will be
taken if Mayor Dunn<; is directed to obey
the state law under the mandamus pro-
ceedings in Judge Frosts court next Fri-
day. The alderman will be backed to the
fulhst extent by the United Societies of
Local Self-Oovernnients.
Corporation Counsel Jame.s H. Lewis,
defending the mayor, will contend that
Jiidge Frost who issued the order on
Mavor Dunne, has no jurisdiction; that
mandamus proceedings are not authorized

Attorney Healy and Sheriff Strassheim,
as county offirials, are the proper persona
to enforce the state law?.

freak, the classification of 4
which is a puzzle to all who T
have seen it. has been brought T
to a Soo taxidermist by John 3
Hill, a Sugar Island man. The
animal. Hill claims, was of
much the nature and form of
an ordinary red doe, stand-
ing six feet high and being
very fleet of foot. The color
was much like that of a deer,
but was streaked with a pecu-
liar gray. The head and ears
greatly resembled those of a
wolf, excepting that there are
two stubs of horns partially
covered with hair. The eyes
are also like those of a wolf,
and are .set back directly under
the base of the horns.

i TAWNEY SEES LITTLE HOPE
FOR WATERWAY TO THE GULF.
Chicago, 111., Dec. 25.— The
dream of a deep waterway from
the lakes to the gulf must re-
main a dream for some time to
come from lack of money to
carry out the project, according
to Congressman James A. Taw-
ney. The appropriations for
the army and ravy^;- said Mr.
Tawney, "have taken 63 per
cent of the ent re amount set
apart for the needs of the
government. The only way in
which a deep waterway or any
other Internatknal waterway
improvements can be effected is
either to cut down the enor-
mous appropriations for our
military and na^al defenses, or
levy a special tfix for the pur-
pose. We have set aside more
money for our armed forces
during the last year than was
devoted to the entire govern-
ment less than nine years ago."

Arraigned on Charge of Conspiring to
Conduct Immoral Resort.
San Francisco, Dec. 25. — Chief of Po-
lice Jeremiah F. Dinan and Abraham
Rueff were arraigned before Superior
Judge Dunne yesterday. Few .specta-
tors were present in the court room,
and only the formalities of the law
•were complied with, the indictments
being read and the defendants
answering to thetr names. Judge
Dunne then set next Thursday as the
day on which Dinan and Rueff are to
plead to the charge of conspiring to
conduct a re.sort of defiance of the law
and to the menace of public morals.
On Friday next Chief of Police Dinan
will plead to the separate charge of
perjury for false evidence relative to
the case before the grand jury, and
upon which he was also arraigned
yesterday.
Last evening a reporter wandered out
looking for some "human interest" stor-
ies for Christmas.
Getting out a paper on Chrlstraiis day.
with everybody Intent on plum pudding
and turkey, is pretty hard scratching.
The reporter knew this, and unwilling to
follow the example of the foolish Lizzies
who went shy on kero««ne, he resolved
to delve into the human interest pie and
see what kind of a prune he could dig
out.
Here Is what he got:
• « «
Seated on the cold, hard floor of the
city jail was a young man with the
spring of youth In his step and the flash
of health In his eye. At least the spring
was probably lying around some place,
and liie flash would have been there if
it had been lighter.
He held his head in his hands and
sobbed. By and by he sobbed again.
■Rather hard luck to spend Christmas
in jail," said the reporter, invitingly.
'"Hard luck. 1 should murmur yes."
"And the disgrace of it."
"Tlie dl.sgrace. Well, now^ you're talk-
ing. Say, kid, do you know what I
was pinched for For liftin' a turkey.
On the level, that's what the gun got
me for. Me, one of the best second story
men in Minneapolis, pinched in this Jay
town for sneakin' a lumberjack's turkey
from under his pillow. Wat d'ye think
o' that? Wouldn't that make a fella
preety near decide to become honest?
And the fly cop got me with the goods
on. They've got me mug in the gallery,
and it's ninety days on the rocks for
Willie."
The reporter closed the door softly on
the outside.
• • •
The little boy shivered in the doorway
of the big department store. Then he
wrapped his coat about him and shivered
again, looking in through the glass at
the toys and books. The busy shoppers
hurried by him. His coat wiis not rag-
ged, but it was well worn, and his bare
hands were blue with the cold.
Here was the Christmas "atmosphere."
"Cold, kid?" asked the reporter.
"Nope."
"Going to have Christmas at your house
tomorrow?"
"Why sure, you durn fool, when did you
think, we'd have it? The old man un-
loaded his Cananea and he's going to
blow himself to an auto for ma. He's
spendin' all his money for that, and I
couldn't get the old guy to loosen up for
more than a ten spot to buy presents
with. What kind of a present can a fel-
lowl get his girl for a tenner?"
But the reporter had faded into the
distance.
• • «
Jimmy, the tramp, sat conning the pages
of a dirty magazine in the Bethel.
The reporter ttirne'l his collar np. pulled
down his hat, and sat down beside him.
"What's doing, Jimmy?" he asked,
after a few moments.
"Lots." said Jimmy, turning around.
"Where did you land the glad rags? Did
you got to some Johnnie just in from the
woods? Risky work these days. Where
did I meet you, anyway?"
"I worked with you on the drive three
years ago," said the reporter who knew
Jimmy's record.
"Sure, boy, I remember now. Put 'er
th^-re."
"Where do you eat tomorrow, Jimmy?"
"It's turkey for me tomorrow, all
right," said Jimmy gleefully. "Been
swampin" up here in an Austrian saloon,
and I've got a five spot salted away. I'm
goin' to start a good one tomorrow, and
keep 'er goin' as long as the money
lasts."

"Good evening." murmured the report-
er, lifting his hat. as he passed by a bril-
liantly liglited store. "Finishing up your |
Christmas shopping?"
"Why. how do you do. Yes, this is the |
end. tliank goodness. Got yours done?" |
"Rather. I thought you were going;
home for Christmas." |
"I thought so too, and it fairly makes j
me weep. But just the day before .school I
closed I got a telegram that mother and i
father were going to the coast to spend i
Christmas with my sister, so there's ;
nothing left for me but the boarding
house."
•Whoop" said the reporter.
"What did you say?"
"I said hurrah. I've been looking for
you all evening. You don't know it, but
you're enveloped by the only genuine.
Christmas 'atmosphere' In town. The poor
lonely school teacher, eating her cold tur-
key dinner, in the cheerless hall bedroom,
l>efore an empty fireplace, has got them
all beat to a whisper."
"Is it hereditary or have you been over-
working?" queried the young lady.
"Neither, only you've saved my life.
I've found a human Interest story at last,
and I'm more than grateful. But what
has your social secretary to report for
tomorrow evening."
"Nothing."
"Well then we'll eat our turkey together
tomorrow night, and go and watch Ade-
UUde in the evening."^
"But you'll spoil your story."
"Forget the story."
"You're a darling."

BRYAN SAYS
Beveridge Plan to Prevent Child i^bor
Would Suppress Trusts.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. iS.— A. J. McKelway,
secretary of the national child labor com-
mittee, has received from William J.
Bryan a letter In which the latter ex-
pres.sed his thanks for a copy of the
Btveridge bill, of which he says:
"The plan which Beveridge adopts for
the prevention of child labor is identical
with the plan I have urged for the sup-
pression of the trusts. 1 believe the con-
trol which congress has over interstate
commerce enables it to apply a very sim-
ple and effective remedy."
"Demand for Office Assistants Exceeds
Supply," Says W. C. McCarter. Pro-
prietor of the Duluth Business
University.
W. C. McCarter, who supplies bu.si-
ness firms of the Northwest with of-
fice help, and who is authority on the
question of supply and demand, had
this to say to our reporter on the sub-
ject:
"During the school year just closed
I have received 391 calls for offlce as-
sistants. In response to which I have
recommended 261 young persons, leav-
ing 129 positions offered during the year
with no young people In evidence to
recommend to same. It is true that
young people professing to be com-
petent constantly besiege business of-
fices, and, through their failure to pro-
cure permanent employment because of
their Inability through lack of prepara-
tion to do the work required of th?m,
often convey the idea that there is an
excess of offlce assistants. There is, it
Is true, always an excess of in-
competents, but not of desirable
young men and women, who have
had the proper preparation, and
are competent to do what busi-
ness men want done. There
is scarcely a week that young people
do not call here to ask me to assist
them to positions. I am glad to help
those I consider competent, but as
a rule, I do not find one in twenty who
can pass an examination that would
warrant my recommending the appli-
cant to the average office position. I
frequently convince these young peo-
ple of their need of preparation and
those who take my advice and remain
here until they are fully prepared have
then no difficulty in procuring clerical
employment.
"During the last two weeks I have
placed several young girls In desirable
stenographic positions, only one of
whom had attended the full term. I
have on my desk at present applica-
tions for positions for six young men
competent In shorthand and bookkeep-
ing to take positions that offer from $50
to $85 per month, with not one young
man in evidence to recommend.
"Everything seems to indicate that
1907 will be a busier year In business
circles than 1906 has been. The In-
creasing demand from Duluth and the
Northwest for graduates of this school
as compared with the limited number
of graduates each year, seems to fully
warrant my belief that the demand
next year will bo even greater in pro-
portion to my supply than it has been
this year."

Aged Man at Eveletti
Freeze fiands and
V- Face.
Oscar Donaldson, an aged man from
Eveleth, reached the city yesterday and
was taken out to the poor farm for care
and medical treatment. Donaldson has
had both hands frozen and is unable to
take care of himself.
For the past few months, according to
the information given the pbor commis-
sion, Donaldson has had a hard time.
His wife died less thar. a year ago, and
he spent the last of his savings In giving
her a decent burial. Left alone in his
little shack, weakened with old age, and
refusing to ask charity because of his
pride, the old gentleman endured much
privation, but managed to eke out an ex-
istence until the cold \\eather came on.
Some days ago he walked from Eveleth
to his hovel, but was unable to open the
door. He spent the night wandering
around, and finally returned to Eveleth
the next day. His condition was noticed
and he was turned OAer to the police.
Both hands and a portion of his faco
were frozen from the exposure.

Bullets Found to be
Coated With a Virulent
Poison.
St. Petersburg, Dec. 25.— The funeral
of Gen. Count Alexis P. Ignatieff, who
was shot and killed at Tver, on Dec.
22. will take place tomorrow. Upon ar-
riving in St. Petersburg the body will
be met by Grand Duke Coiistantlne
Constantinovitch. Grand Duchess
Elizabeth, widow of the late Grand
Duke Sergius. and other members of
the royal family.
The murder of Count Igantleff has
caused constellation among a number
of ex-offlcials on the Von Plehve and
Slplaguine regimes, who have retired
from the field of active administration.
They now fear that their past records
expose them to the same danger of
belated retribution.
The Novoe Vremya furnishes the fol-
lowing details of the murder: The as-
sassin had an accomplice, who has not
yet been captured. Both men belonged
to the group of Terrorists with head-
quarters in Moscow, where the crime
was planned. An unknown man at-
tracted the attention of the count on
Dec. 21. by following his carriage from
the railroad station, but Ignatieff
thought he was a police detective and
dismissed the matter from his mind.

A Universal Remedy for a

The most distressing form of head-

all digestive derangements disappear

most people, but not to all.
"Some people, clock lovers these,
couldn't sleep withou a clock in the
same room. It's ticking Is company
and it scares away the spooks. Such
people would wake up If the clock
.should stop in the middle of the
night.
"But there are other people who
can't sleep with a clock In the same
room and who if they found them-
selves in a strange place anywherj
with a clock In their sleeping apart-
ment would stop the clock before
they went to bed.
"Of course, there Is much of habit
In this; but we have our fancies
about clocks, as we do about all
things else."

THE DULUTH EVENING HEEALD: TUESDAY, DECEMBER

"Tips and Tales," a dramatic sheet
iBsued by Henry W. Savage to keep
the dramatic editors in touch with
his productions, has the following
among the first of the press yarns
concerning Miss Rena Vivienne. It
will be of Interest in Duluth, where so
many friends are watching the un-
folding of her career with delight.
"Tips and Tales" quotes from the
Dramatic Mirror as follows:
■Rena Vivienne, who alternates with
Madame Szamosy and Miss Easton in
singing the title role of that fascinat-
ing opera. "Madam Butterfly,' was born
In Oklahoma. There is no reason for
withholding the time. It was only
twenty-two years ago. But the place.
Has any other prima donna ever come
out of the territory of rushed claims?
There is a gleam of romance even in
this prairie waste of prairie practical-
ity. Miss Vivienne was formally adopt-
ed by a tribe of Indians, and because
she cried so musically they named her
•The Singing Wind." "
An editors note as follows is added:
"This is a good story excepting that
Miss Vivienne was born in Duluth."
Kent Parker and Thomas D. Richards.
Three noted coivluctors will also ac-
company the organization. They in-
clude: Walter Rothwell, from Vienna;
Alfred Feith, from Berlin, and Cornel-
ls Dopper, from Amsterdam.

iife^ york Engagement.
With the fiftieth and final performance
of Puccini's "Madam Butterfly," at the
Garden theater Saturday night, the
world's record for grand operas was
broken, and Henry W. Savage, the Am-
erican impresario, was the recipient of
universal congratulations on the sensa-
tional success achieved by this, the
most pretentious grand opera pro-
duction over attempted in the Eng-
lish language.
Giacomo Puccini, the composer of
the fascinating Japanese opera, and
also composer of "La Boheme" and
••Tto.<=ca." sent a cablegram to Mr.
Savage in which he said: "You have
sent me more royalties from yuur Am-
erican production of 'Madam Butter-
fly" than all other lmpre.«arios in the
world. By this I know that you have
succeeded. Thanks s.nd .sincere con-
gratulations."
Another telegram from Tito Ricordl,
who controls rights of production in
the majority of the grand operas,
read: "In addition to most other
records, the United States now holds
the world's record for grand opera
engagements. All honor to you for the
certain establishment of grand opera
In your own language. Merry Christ*
mas to you and your splendid organi-
zation of artist.«."
At the closing New York perform-
ance Saturday night, the honor of
singing the titular role was awarded
to Mme. Eliza Szamosy, who appeared
as Madam Butterfly at the original
production in this countrj'. Sunday
morning the entire organization, con-
sisting of 125 people, left by special
train for Cincinnati, where the first
et^p was made on the cross-continent
tour which Mr. Savage has arranged,
and which will extend to the Pacific
coast.
The same company which contributed
po largely to the artistic success of
"Madam Butterfly" durinc its long

There is honor among the denizens
of Paxton alley, but Mr. Smiths toy
shop stood at the very entrance, ana
they reckoned him out of bounds.
From time to time evil-looking men
muttered to one another about the long
stocking that Mr. Smith was supposed
to have filled; but he had figured m
the prize ring in his younger days, and
he was said to sleep with a big knob
stick beside him. So the matter ended
at mutterings. A big, powerful man
was Mr Smith; and he had a powerful
edge to liis tongue. Every one in the
alley feared him except Jimmy.
Mr Smith knew him as the extraor-
dlnarv paper boy who brought back a
dime given him In mi.'^take for a penny,
an event which was historical in- the
alley. At the time it gave rise to

doubts as to Jimmy's sanity, but after-
ward it was held that he was "play-
ing up to the old man."
Anyhow, Mr. Smith took two papers
regularly afterward; and the day after
his funeral— which was the day before
Christmas eve— a sleek man in a shiny
top hat Invaded Paxton alley, escorted
by a policeman, and took evidence as to
the identity of "the boy called Jimmy
who sold papers" to the public general-
ly, and in particular to the late Mr.
.Smith. TN'lien tiie sleek man was satis-
fied upon this point he proclaimed
Jimmy the sole legatee of the estate,
which comprised the little shop and
1 house and all their contents.
"You'll find a long stocking some-
where, I expect," the lawyer said, "and
I you'd better bring it to me to take
{ care of; and if I were you I should take
I the name of Smith."
I Under ordinary circumstances Jimmy
j would have been elated by his good
j fortune, but soiHehow the world had
! not interested him lately. He had had
I ft terrible cough for weeks— his busi-
i ness exposing him to the climate— and
I just now he felt tired, and had nasty
i pains in his side, and .«eemed to be
; burning all over. A sort f>f doctor-par-
] son gentleman had told him that he'd
I die if he didn't go into a hospital with-
in a week; and that was nine days ago.
He moved In on the morning of
Christmas eve, and explored the house
with a kind of numb curiosity. He
spent most of the morning in the shop
parlor in the arm chair in front of the
fire. He did not even go out to the
j quick lunch room for the beautiful din-
ner that he had promised himself. He
had taken a lot of milk from the milk-
\ man, and he kept drinking that. He did
I not seem to care .about anything but
i milk, and everything felt strange and
uncanny. The figure on the mantelpiece
—a white-bearded old gentleman which
I he believed was called Santa <'laus—
I was the strangest and uncanniest of
! all. The fire was almost out. so he put
i on some more coal. He saw that it was
nearly 4 o'clock. "Lummel" he mut-
' tered. "I've let the day go, an' 'aven't
! done no bus'ness. This won't do. I'll
j take down the shutters, an" open the
I shop."
! It had been a hard autumn, and the
I people on whom Paxton alley preyed
were short of money. So Paxton alley
was short of money, too.
If few entered the shop, there were
enough outside. A dozen cold, red-
I blue noses flattened themselvs against
i the gla.«s; a dozen shrill voices clam-
•ored;-*, dozen little hands pointed with
j grimy, chllblainy fingers here and
I there.
"drawed him out of hlm^lf." He tried
to speak, but his voice was only a
whisper. So he beckoned to a big boy
and whispered to him;;and the boy
stood up on the doorstep, and shouted
to the crowd: "Jimmy's goln* to give
yer a toy each. Jimmy — "
The big boy went sprawling before
the crowd that sw.*yed and struggled
in, and Jimmy was driv<9) back to the
counter. S
Women came in '.o plead for their
babies at home. Boys and girls came
In to remind him ol' their brothers and
sisters. By It o'clock he had given to
every small Inhabitant of the alley.
Then Jimmy tried lo go to bed, but
was so weak and giddy that he could
not climb the stairs. So he sat in the
arm chair instead. He felt strange as
well as poorly. The chairs, the firc-
Irons, the coal .scuttle, the table cover,
everything, seemed to turn Into fan-
tastic figures, and long-tafled demons
were running up the blinds. Santa
Glaus on the mantelpiece was scowling
and sneering at hiri. "The week's up,
Jimmy," he seemed to say. "You won t
have the toys any more."
Jimmy got Into a sudden rage with
Santa Claus and struck him with his
fist. ,
Santa Claus tottered on the mantel- \
piece, but righted him.self. He was j
more solid and weighty than Jimmy
had imagined, and .here was a clinking i
sound as he swayed— a sound of clink-
ing money. The truth flashed upon i
Jimmy as he sank back exhausted in j
the arm chair. The "long slocking"
was in Santa Claus. and he could not |
get to it. and he never would, because |
he was going to die. He saw Santa i
Claus leering at hiri when he woke, and
In his dreams, and when he dozed. Then j
he suddenly looked frightened. Some
one was knocking loudly at the door.
That was what frightened him. Jimmy
woke completely just as the knocking
ceased. He must have been asleep a long '
time, he thought, because the Are was
low; and he supposed he had been what
they called lightheaded. There was a
grating noise outside the window -the
noise of some one slipping a knife i
through the frame to press back the j
catch. Jimmy struggled to move, but !
his limbs only wriggled a little. He i
tried to shout, but no sound came. The .'
shutters came open with a crash, and |
Bill Black stepped within. The short, j
jagged knife that he had opened the ■
window with was still in his hand; .
and Santa Claus seemed taunting i
Jimmy. "You've given them my toys," j
he said. "Ill give him your money." I
Jimmy closed his eyes to escape the j
sight of the kniff , but he felt Black
looking at him. Then, to his surprise, j
he went away into the shop. Jimmy i
heard a noise of unbarring and unlock-
ing. Then he felt a cool hand on his
pul.se. I
"Collapse," a pleasant voice said. "It's :
lucky We weren't ;in hour later." |
Jimmy opened his eyes, and saw the i
doctor and Black aending over hitn. i
"I've been playiri' at Santa Claus, !
matey," Black said. "We judged yer j
was pretty bad rot to answer the j
knockin', so I got In. Rare nice toys !
them was yer gave my young 'uns. |
Judged yer was pretty bad. so 1 fetched i
'em." I
Bill Black looked at the fire thought- I
fully, and repeated to himself. "Rare ,
nice toys." Then he carried Jimmy up- I
stairs and helped the doctor put him \
to bed. He was wonderfully gentle in i
handling Jimmy. j
Mrs. Black was gentler still with '
Jimmy while she nursed him and he
grew ver.v fond of her. Bill and young
Bill were looking after the shop, she
said, and doing "'very fair," and she
hoped he'd take young Bill in the busi-
ness.
Jimmy nodded and smiled feebly— he
did everything feebly just then— and
promised to take young Bill, and said
he made no doubt they'd do very well,
but in his heart he was worried about
the business.
Three weeks later Jimmy came down
to the shop parlor, and the first thing
he noticed was that Santa Claus was , ,
gone from the mc ntelpiece. He was ' 2.P9^e
very weak, and he could 'not help a
few tears coming to his eyes, but he
had brushed them away before Bill
came in.
"Feel all right, boy?" Bill asked.
••Ye.s. Bill," Jimmy said. "Pretty fair."
"Seems strange down here, don't It?"
"A little strange, " Jimmy agreed.
Bill cut some hard tobacco in the
palm of his hand, and whistled softly
and filed his pipe "Noftce anything
pertickler strange!" he suggested. His
eyes were on the mantelpiece, wliere
Santa Claus wasn't, and so were
Jimmy's.
"No," said Jimmy, bravely. "No, Bill."
"'Not on the mantel shelf?"
Jimmy pressed hi? finger nails against
his palms. '"There v.'as a sort of figure
there, " he said, "wa.sn't there. Bill? I— I

woman he lived with then had thrashed
him for spending on marble.s a penny of
the money he had taken for papers. It
was his own money, he held, or he
wouldn't have done it. For, by some
freak of nature. Jimmy was honest.
But now he could hardly sit up in a
chair, and he didn't believe he could
walk; but when a woman came in for
a 10-cent doll, he managed to crawl to
the window to serve her.
There was .a wild chorus of recogni-
tion when he appeared between the
dingy green curtains that slid along
a rail. "Jimmy!" "Jimmy!" "Want any
one to run your errins, Jimmy?" "Yer
might give us somethink. Jimmy?" He
heard all these greetings and a dozen
more.
He shook his head and returned to
his seat. He certainly did feel ill, and
he seemed to lose things for a few min-
utes, until Bill Black came in for three
Uttle toys. Bill was looked up to In ; popular now— In
the allej' as a man who did "big jobs,"
and the Blacks were generall.v reckon-
ed well-to-do; but Bill's transactions
hadn't been very profitable lately, and
he had to be careful, because he knew
that the police had their eye on him.
So they were hard up, like the rest.
Found the long stockin", Jimmy?" he
asked, casually, when he had taken the
tovs.
••No," said Jimmy. "And If I had It
'u'd be at the lawyer's. Bill, an' don'^
' yer make no mistake.''
Bill growled under his breath. "If
■ yer didn't look half dead I'd knock yer
, head orf, young hound," he said, "In-
; sinywaitin' ag'lnst an honest man.
I Goin' to offer to do anythink fer yer,
I the missus was, wot I'll soon put a
! stop to now."
I He gave Jimmy a ferocious scowl as
I he went out, and Jimmy resolved that
j If he found the slocking he would take
I it to the lawyer at once.
I He went to the doc>r and faced a
I crowd of exicted faces that ranged In
I rows from the front of the shop right
' across the alley.
■Jimmy! " they cried. "Give us some-
think! Yer might, Jimmy!"
Jimmy alw^ays said afterward that
he only did it because he thought he
was dying, and the toys would be no
use to him, and the pains in his heart
or slenderness, and for this reason one
must work out an individual method
that best fits her figure. Besides the
hygienic and practical method of carry-
ing skirts for cleanliness because they
are too long for comfort, there is an
artistic side that a few women have
discovered and us? to their advantage
in helping to hide lines that are not as
delicate as they wish, or to cover
over a lack of fle.sh that would other-
wise be glaringly apparent. While a
j studious few have perfected the hold-
' ing of skirts to the point of really
! eliminating their physical defects, the
i majority of women do not even know
I tho rudiments of carrying skirts, and
jso while each must adapt the details
to fit her personal needs, the general
' styles are the same for all.
! To hold a circular skirt— such as Is
a becoming way, bend
the body slightly at the waistline,
dropping the right hand as far down
the back as it will reach. Then with
the finger tips take opposite the knees
the edges of two of the back folds, or
gores, gather them Into a light but
firm loop and pull gently around the
body to the right, lifting the ma-
terial upward until on a line with the
hip, then bend the wrist slightly, so It
will be comfortable, and rest the hand
on the hip bone.e, so that there will
be no strain on the muscles of the arm.
If the skirt is so long that the bot-
tom on the oppo.slte side touches the
ground a few horizontal folds should
be made In the material, at the .same
time the gores In the back are gather-
ed together, and then there will be no
chance for the skirt lo drag, for the
cloth win be held so tightly that the
Improvised pleats will stay In place.
Or If a woman wishes and has both
hands free she can hold the folds and
give a balance to her figure that it
would otherwise be without.
Carrying a full gathered skirt, such
jas Is often worn to the opera, re-
Iceptlons and for dinners, is quite a
simple matter for it Is nothing more
than making a bag by folding the
ends of a handkerchief together.
The skirt Is picked up with the
thumbs and forefingers at the back
by the bottom or edge of the hem
and straightened out at the waistline,
while the hands are extended as far
to right and left as they will reach.
When the material has been settled in
folds around the waist, with one hand
holding the two sides together In
front, the skirt is caught up directly
In the middle of the front and the
three edges are held firmly In either
the right or left hand. Held in this
way under an opera cape or long
cloak, a frock with a train or one
that Is unusually long can be man-
aged with little difllculty.
Short sklrt.si, always a problem to
carry, should be very carefully held
or they will make a woman look
undignified. The problem, in lifting
a skirt that Is a walking length. Is
to gather the folds or pleats up In
the back so that they will not be
spattered with mud in walking, and
not to take yje material from either
side.
To do this successfully takes prac-
tice and the average woman will have
to bend far back at the waLst line,
get the folds directly in the back
between the fingers and thumb and
pull them straight up to the hip,
then turn the wrist and rest It on
the back many times before the ac-
tion comes ea.slly and before one
may hope to do it becomingly.
The mi.stake most women make in
holding their skirts Is that they pull
them so tight around their bodies
that the material looks strained and
the free action in walking is re-
stricted, giving the Individual a most
ungraceful carriage.
Another error is in pulling the skirt
up on one side and leaving It to trail
along on the walk or in the mud,
making a woman look not only un-
tidy and careless, but positively
.sided.

It is during the Christmas holidays
that young girls go to more parties
than at any other season of the year,
and frocks for these gala occasions
are most important.
For misses from 12 years of age
and older nothing is prettier than ac-
cordlan pleating, done in soft, cling-

chiffon and the like. T^e model
shown is an excellent one, the loose

wide girdle, concealing angularities.
The skirt is quite simple.
Elaboration of accordlan pleating
may be done by adding ruches and

whole effect even softer.

Missouri Convict Who
Will Sood Complete
His Twelfth Term.
Has Been Going to
State Prison for Fifty
Years.
Jefferson, Mo.. Dec. 25.— Charles
Meier, better known as "Dutch
Charley." will soon complete his
twelfth term of service in the Missouri
penitentiary. Added to this Is the fact
that he is 90 years of age. Those who
know •Dutch Charles" best, predict
that he will again be answering roll
call in the state's prison before gentle
spring arrives once more.
Meier is a confidence man and has a
weakness for jewelry belonging to
othtT people. He has been coming to
the penitentiary off and on for the last
fifty years and no one in the great
Institution is more conversant with
Its hi.story. Generally he has come to
the prison from some one of the Ger-
man counties of upper Southeast Mis-
souri, «nd in nearly every instance he
has pleaded guilty to charges of
swindling In connection with bogus
land deals. His favorite method of
operation is to seek some quiet, re-
mote German community and pass
himself off as a wealthy land seeker.
Usually this is good for several weeks
free entertainment, with, an opportuni-
ty of locating watches, jewelry, etc.,
and usually winds up with a sight
draft signed by the unsuspecting vic-
tim. With the proceeds of the sight
drait Charley gets on a protracted
spree at the nearest town, and when
arrested Invariably pleads guilty. He
has been in the prison so often that
when three months passes without his
coming back, the otflcers begin to
speculate on his whereabouts.
During the time of Capt. W. H.
Bradbury, for many y«-ars deputy war-
den of the penitentiary, and in charge
of the discipline of the institution,
Charley got back aft€'r an absence
of fifteen months. "Where have you
been Charley?" asked the old captain,
as he shook hands with the old man in
the dressing room. "You have not been
treating us right."
"You will have to excuse me this
time, captain," replied Charley in an
apologetic way, "You see they had
me in a dinkey little jail over in Il-
linois for a year. 1 am mighty glad
to get back home. I can tell you."
Another time Charley arrived. As
usual Capt. Bradbury joked him as
he was dressed in. "What did you do
this time. Charley?" he asked. "Oh,
I bought a fine farm down In St.
Genevieve county, captain. I speculat-
ed in real estate, but didn't have
sense enough to stay .sober and get
away from, that part of the country
before the sight draft got back."
Meier says he was born in Germany
and so far as he knows has no rela-
tives alive. He says that he cannot
begin to enumerate the jail sentences
he has served, aside from the twelve
terms that he has served in the peni-
tentiary. He has a fertile imagina-
tion and a most plau.sible tongue.
During the days of the Crlttendon
admini.^iiation, when Phil E. Chappell
of Kansas City was state treasurer.
Charley gave out a "pipe dream '
about a plot to blow open the state
treasury, .so smoothly told that all the
state offleials were deceived by it. So
firmly were they convinced of the truth
of the story that a guard was main-
tained in the treasurer's office and
about the state house for several days
and nights to prevent the plot from be-
ing carried into execution. It was a
hoax of the llrst water.
Some years later Charley got the ear
of a prominent detective, then at the
head of the secret service department
of the Missouri Pacific railway, and
filled him so full of a buried treasure
on an island in the Mississippi river
near Quincy. 111., that the detective
spent .several weeks and several hun-
dred dollars digging on the island in
search of it. Like the robbery, the
thinsr was a hoax.
At another time Charlie got hold of
a green prison guard just from the
rural districts and conlided to him
that he knew where a vast amount of
gold and silver was buried in the
mountains of Arkansa.s. The green
guard took the bait and pulled the
cork Clear under. Armed with leave of
absence fur a month, a map of a re-
mote locality in the Boston mountains
and money enough to pay expenses, he
set out in starch of the spot. All he
got wa.s the trip and the experience
for, like others, it existed only in the
fertile brain of "Dutch Charley."
While serving a tfrin about twenty-
five years ago. Charley, by dieting on
soap. cuntriv*'d to "fake" up quite a
case of 'ponsumption." He looked the
part and sent for a well known lawyer
of the Capital city to make his will
for him. The only property he claimed
to have was $S<X> in cash which he
said was in the hands of a well known
Catholic priest of St. Louis, and ex-
hibited a receipt for the money giv^n
him by the priest. The lawyer expressed
^eat sympathy for Charley in his
stricken and broken condition. Charley
proposed to the lawyer that he would
bequeath him the $SW if the lawyer
would advance him some money to
buy things necessary to a man in the
last stages of consumption. "I haven't
a relative on earth," .said Charley, "and
you are the only human being that has
shown any sympathy for me. I'll just
have you draw my will and make you
the sole heir to that $8tX)."
By the time the lawyer had advanced
1200. Charley's sentence had expired
and he faded away from sight for a
few monts only to reappear shortly
with a new .sentence and marvelously
Improved health. It Is unnecessary to
say that the $S00 was a myth. The
lawyer was game, however, and
laughed about the clever manner in
which he had been done out of $200.
He has been In the pri.son on the
sentence he is serving at pre.sent since
the spring of 1904. About the time he
came in there was much political ex-
citement over the candidacy of Folk
for the gubernatorial nomination.
Charley declares that he is a Democrat.
Some of the prison inspectors under the
Dockery administration happened to
be at the prison the day the old man

returned and were Introduced to him.
He surprised them in conversation, by
the slirewdness of his observations on
matters political and otherwise. When
asked who he favored for the nomina-
tion for governor, he replied: "Oh, I
am for Joe Folk, for 1 am against
boodling every time."
Charley is a good prisoner in the
sense that he violates no rules of dis-
cipline. He never gives the ofhcers any
trouble. On account of his advanced
age he has done but little work during
his last three terms in the prison. He
is permitted to sit around and smoke
and chat with several other superan-
uated convicts. His mind is as keen
and alert as it ever was and he has
no doubt mapped out a scheme or two
in the way of "real estate speculation"
as he designates his operations, as soon
as he is released from the penitentiary.
He will be released about the middle
of January and regrets that the judge
didn't give him about six months
longer, so that he would have gone out
in the middle of summer instead of
midwinter. His chief concern now Is an
overcoat. He has no money to procure
a garment of that kind and he shivers
in anticipation of the day when expira-
tion of his sentence will deprive him of
the steam heated comforts of his prison
home.
He tells with great glee of how on
one occasion he worked a circuit judge
in one of the Southeast Missouri
counties and received a sentence of
two years, when he adm.its he should
have had ten or twlve. "I was about
72 or 73 years old at the time," said he,
"and when I was tried looked pretty
tough, as I had made a fine real estate
deal and the draft I got the fellow to
sign was so big that I couldn't drink
all the proceeds up in two weeks. I
tried the old age racket on the judge
and the tears rolled down his cheeks
and even some of the jurymen cried
as he sentenced me to two years, ex-
pressing regret that he had to give
me even that much of a sentence ^.n
my old age and broken down condi-
tion of health. The sheriff treated me
more like a guest on the way to Jeffer-
son City than a convict until w.3
reached St. Louis. At the union station
In that city a sharp eyed policeman
saw me and congratulated the sheriff
on having me in hock for another
term. After that the rest of the trip
was not so pleasant."

SLEUTH IS MURDERER.
Put on tlis Own Trail and Confesses
the Crime.
25. — After being given
to investigate, a young

a murder case
detective. Giovanni Centirl, has start-
led his superiors at Viggiano by con-
fessing that he himself committed
the crime and then shooting himself
before their eyes.
The victim of the murder was
Domenica Vincettl, a young peasant
girl, whose body was found mutilated
near her parents' cottage. Centiri,
who had proved himself a clever
detective, was put on the trail of
the murderer. He appeared to be
working hard at his task, and some
time afterward he reported at the
. iggiano police station that he had
found the murderer. He described
how the crime was committed, ex-
plaining that the murderer had met
the girl behind a hut in the field
and demanded that she marry him,
and when she refused, killed her
with a stick.
Cantiri then produced this stick
and the murderer's bloodstained
coat showed how the finger prints
on the stock corresponded with his
own; declared that he killed the
girl and fired a shot into his brain

This Yaar.
Christmas was observed with special
services this morning in many of the
churches in the West end and a majority
of the Sunday schools will hold their an-
' nual Christmas tree exercises this even-
• ing
Last evening Santa Claus distributed
good things to eat and presents to the
members of the Sunday school at St.
Luke's Episcopal church. The tree was a
beautiful one and from the biggest over-
grown boy to the tiniest mite of a kidiet,
it was thoroughly appreciated. It was
fairly loaded down with gifts and some
j of them had to be piled up around the
base. And Santa Claus saw to it that
every child got something.
The program opened with a brief re-
ligious service, after which the rector.
Rev. Roderick J. Mooney, gave a short
talk to the children, impressing upon
them the deep significance of Christmas-
tide. His addres.s was followed by a pro-
gram of recitations and music given by
members of the Sunday scliool and the
evening wound up with a distribution of
tlie gifts by old St. Nicholas liimself.
This morning, holy communion and
service was held at St. Luke's. Rev. R.
J. Mooney preached and a special pro-
gram of music was given. Most of the
othf-r churchts in the Wes end held early
morning services today.
This evening, the Sunday school of the
First Swedish M. K. churcli will hold its
annual Christmas entertainment, giving
a cantata, "The Tables Turned." An
elaborate program will be given, members
of the school having been busy for some
time preparing it, under the direction of
Mrs. E. T. Dahlquist.
At the Swedish Mission church Sunday
scliool exercises will begin promptly at
7:30 at the church. Recitations, dialogues
and musical numbers will be given by the
members of the scliool, including a chil-
dren's choir of seventy voices.
An elaborate program of Christmas ex-
ercises has been prepared for this even-
ing by the Sunday school of the First
Swedish Baptist church, under the direc-
tion of the superintendent. A. Thoren.
Every class in the large school of more
than 2iX> memljers will be represented on
tlie program and from a Christmas tree,
candy and fruit will be distributed.
The Sunday soiiool of Central Baptist
church will hold its exercises this even-
ing, as well. An appropriate program has
l)een prepared for the occasion.
At Grace M. E. church and Bethany
Lutheran church, the Sunday school
Christmas festivals will be held tomorrow
evening. Santa ,Claus distriVmted good
things to tin- members of the Second
Presbyterian Sunday school Friday even-
ing.
Merchants Satisfied.
West end marc-hants say that the holi-
day trade has been larger this year than
ever before. For several weelts and up
to a late hour last evening, every mer-
cantile establishment in that section of
tho city has enjoyed a pro.speroiis trade
and all are satisfied. Almost everyone
scinis to have employment and the citi-
zens spent their money freely.

His Lectures Always Live and Full of

Many men in public life take to the lec-

there the people have an opportunity
to see and hear them. As a rule, how-
ever, they take some topic of an ab-
stract nature and confine th'.»mselves
to discussions of an abstract char-
acter, instead of taking a live topic
of the hour, one in which all people
are interested, and presenting his own
views or posit'on on It. Senator Robert
M. La FoUette of Wisconsin, who will
lecture here at the First Methodist
church Friday evening of this week,
is one of the exceptions to this rule. '
When he is on the lecture platform
he is a live wire every minute of the ,

SHAKESPEAREAN
PLAYS WRITTEN
By Roger, Earl of Rut-
land, Asserts Dr. Karl
Bleibtreu.
Berlin, Dec. 25.— Dr. Karl Bleibtreu's
new book In which lie announces his dis-
covery that Roger, earl of Rutland, was
the author of all the pl&.ys ascribed for
over 3(X) years to Shakespeare, has just
been published.
Some of the points made against Shake-
speare are as follows:
"We learn one certain fact from the
verses ridiculing the magistrate, viz.,
that young Shakespeare was a brainless
country bumpkin witliout a trace of lit-
erary talent. It has not been established
at which of the theaters he acted, but it
has been discovered that the first Shake-
spearean dramas were played by the
Pembroke to which William Shakespeare
did not belong. This, however, would
have been Impossible at that time If the
comedian Shakespeare had really been
the author of the verses.
"William Shakespeare was a wealthy
man In later years. He retired to Strat-
ford as a successful man and abandoned
literature. He took to drinking and it is
said that he died from the effects of a
pot-house revelry, and It is certainly
known that he kept his regular seat in
the Mermaid tavern as long as he lived
in London. It Is notorio js that the pros-
perous Philistine, William Shakespeare,
became a usurer at Stratford and lent
money for interest. Ho was a drinker
and a cunning man of business.
"No one but a great noble^man would
have dared to write the bitter satire con-
taine-d in 'Hamlet,' which would have in-
volved a poor comedian in ruin. William
Shakespeare could only have gained his
knowledge of the manner and the customs
of high society by ills legendary friend-
ship with Essex and Southampton, but
this certainly di,j not exl.n wlien he wrote
Romeo and Juliet.' Numerous passages
in numerous Shakespearean dramas could
only have been written by an author
familiar with the Inner li 'e of royal courts
who had associated with statesmen, cour-
tiers, warriors and scholars.
"Why should William Shakespeare have
ceased to produce his great works several
years before his death? The answer to
this is found in the fact that Roger, earl
of Rutland, died In l(n2. shortly after the
appearance of the last two Shakespearean
dramas."
Herr Bleibtreu offers an explanation
why Roger, earl of Rutland, hid him.self
behind the name of William Shakespeare.
He attributes Rutland's arrangement for
anonymity to political reason.s. The
Shakespearean dramas were regarded by
contemporaries as political in tende^ncy.
and both Queen Elizabeth and King James
would have visited their wrath on the au-
thor of such plays as "Julius Cae.sar" and
Hamlet' If he had been a prominent
nobleman: William Shakespeare was not
punished, partly because of his personal
insiRnlflcance and partly because it was
generally known that he was not the real
writer. Perhaps the most telling point in
favor of his theory is found in the fact
that Herr Bleibtreu shows a series of
financial transactions between Roger earl
of Rutland, and Francis, earl of Rutland
the heir of his childless brother, and from
those transactions the authorship theory

HEBREW CHILDREN
Kept From Pre-Christrnas Session of
New York Schools.
New York. Dec. 25.— The agitation
against Christmas celeoratlons In the
public schools that has been gathering
force for the last tAA'days in Hebrew
circles found Its cllir.ax yesterday,
when parents, guardians and other
protectors of Jewish children, strongly
urged and supported by certain East
side newspapers, kept their charges
from attending the pre-Chrlstmas ses-
sion to such an extent that schools on
the East side reported a decrease In
numbers ranging from 33 1-3 per cent
to 60 per cent of the pupils register-
ed.
One Hebrew principal of an East side
school said that the school exercises
were not at all of a religious nature,
but consisted of an er.tertainment in
which the childre-'n took part, and a
distribution of small pri\sent3 from the
teachers and principal.'!.
Obliged to Lie With Limbs Higher
Than Head — Suflered Untold
Agonies and Could Not Walk-
Doctor Said it Was the Worst
Case he Ever Saw.
London, Dec. 25. — A good deal of
interest attaches to the vLsit to Lon-
don of the Mahatma Sri Agamya,
who is said to be the first genuine
Mahatma that ever left India to
visit the Western world.
Before renouncing all else to devote
himself entirely to Toga, or the
occult, he was a judge in the high
court of India. He has come to
London and will go a little later to
America, not as a propagandist of
his religion in the ordinary sense,
but to organize what he denomin-
ates a Parliament of Truth, and
answer any Inquiries which seekers
after truth, as it is viewed by those
of his ancient faith, may care to
make him.
The response in London to this
quasi invitation has been so over-
whelming that it has been necessary
to eliminate from the throngs who
seek to see him the cranks and
merely curious who form a large
proportion of the crowd. These
come to him usually in hope of see-
ing some manifestation of his .so-
called miraculous powers, and their
curiosity is never gratified. It is
explained by his friends that Sri Aga-
mya is able to suspend at will his
physical life for periods long or
short, and to do other strange
things which, as he says, may ex-
cite wonder, but are mere trivial
physical phenomena compared with
which the powers of the mind are
infinite.
One who recently conversed with
him thus describes the interview in
what follows:
Wc found a man of tall and
powerful build seated in an arm chair
by the fire, the features rugged; the
head, turbaned in dark blue with
gUntings fo gold, was intellectual
and mas.slve. He wore simple, khaki
colored Indian garments of soft
wool.
Prof. Carpenter said: "As* he sat
In my study on the day of his first
visit he showed me he could en-
tirely suspend the normal circula-
tion of the blood and the pulse
ceased to beat as I laid my linger
on It."
The Mahatma has no desire to be-
come famous as a wonder worker.
He thinks true faith Is not incited
by that means, and says:
"Tho exhibitions of this control of
physical phenomena are only for
small people; they are not for the
full grown. The visible world is a
small thing in comparison with the
mind.
"The mind controls all things and
creates all things. The control which
I exerci.se over my body Is in no
way whatever miraculous; anyone
could learn to do the same if he
would take the timo and trouble
required."
When he consented to show this
power his body was to all appear-
ance, lifeless, though subjected to
every known medical test by the
physicians pre.sent. He can remain
in that state for any length of time,
retaking the normal vital conditions
at will.
He says there Is no danger con-
nected with the experiment, which de-
notes nothing but the exercise of a
power resident in every person. When
asked if the soul during that time
was out of the physical frame, he
said:
"No, it is confined within a single
atom of the body and constitutes the
vital .spark to be expanded to full life
flame at the appointed time."
With a steady questioning look at
each person ushered in, he asked in a
modulated deep voice, not unkind but
with a ring of authority In it, what
we wished to know of him. In answer-
ing our questions he expounded his

trivial.
There is something of the judge In
him still as he sits in his armchair,
the great steady eyes either darkly
dim or burning with magnetic fire. He
has given up great social position and
riches in order to be a teacher of men
and proclaim to them "their true and
eternal selves," otherwise, "the king-
dom of God within."
He has millions of followers in In-
dia; and though a high caste Brahmin;
belonging to an ancient and great
Punjab family, he holds himself singu-
larly free from prejudice and the su-
perstitions with which the Vedantlc
teaching has through the ages become
encrusted. He is reformer, or rather a
reviver of what he considers the true
and mighty traditions of his race.
He embodies the philosophy of the
Vedas, having passed through the
many stages of development to that
of a perfected Yogln; and having ac-
quired on the way the well known
power to produce physical phenomena,
so-called miracles, among which Is the
power of voluntary suspension of the
body's life, and its deliberate resump-
tion after any predicted period of time.
That Paramahamsa possesses this
power has been fully authenticated in
the presence of scientific men at Ox-
ford, among whom were Prof. Max
Mueller (on the occasion of a former
visit in 1900) and Prof. J. Estlin Car-
penter and at Cambridge in the pres-
ence of the late Frederick Myers and
Dr. Hodgson.
"We do not send our spirits away
from our bodies; the spirit cannot
move in that independent way, though
it may have visible reflexions. As to
the movement of the spirit after death,
it cannot come back as a spirit; if
perfected it returns to the Divine Spirit
from whence it issued, and to the
highest bliss, but if still unprefected it
re-enters some earthly body at its
birth and so comes back into this life."
In spite of his assertion that he
has attained to a state of divinity
where he is no longer of this world at
all, but lives in the eternal plain, his
personality is natural, simple, hearty,
practical, essentially modern. There
is certainly nothing of the ecstatic or
weird or crank about him. He is full
of fresh vigor, physically and mental-
ly, enlivening and electric, although
60 years of age.
He .said, that having prior to this
present life attained the stage where
he had realized his divinity, he had no
use to return to an earthly body, and

that after this he will be no more re-
incarnated.
I asked why in that case he had
taken the earth life this time. His
answer was that he had been sent,
and had chosen to come out of ardent
desire to help all those who could
recognize and understand his teachings
back to their true nativity and to
awaken them to their true selves and
to the consciousne.ss of their divinity.
When asked if he meant that we
should renounce all accomplishment
and energy In this life, he said:
"Certainly not; on the contrary,
every fight must be fought to the ut-
termost, and every duty fulfilled, es-
pecially If it Involves the well being
of others."
He accepts no money, leads a simple,
pure and kind life; rises early and
takes food but once a day, at midnight.
It consists of bread and a dish of
vegetables seasoned with peppers, pre-
pared over a spirit lamp by his secre-
tary, who is himself Brahmina, a dark
haired, bright eyed young disciple.
The Mahatma recognizes the great
material achievement of W'estern civ-
ilization, but .says that we are all
mad in our rush for money, and that
our greed of gain and devotion to
money getting imprisons us away
from our true selves, straining our
forces to the utmost, but giving us
no satisfaction In return. As a young
Irish lieutenant put the same idea
to me: "Look at our civilizatloni
Just look at it! It's tremendous,
stupendous! We're going ahead, right
ahead! But what do we get out of
it? We're going ahead backward!"
The Mahatma says that if we gave
half so much devotion to discovering
and recognizing our true forces of
existence we would be Indeed mighty,
and as for worldly treasure, these
"Illusive creations of maya," they
would be there too In richer plenty,
as they are the shadow of the sub-
stance, and would follow that sub-
stance so long as we exist in this
world — which seems but another for-
mulation of "Seek first the kingdom
of God and all these things will be
added unto you."
The Mahatma's pedantic teaching
rests on two principles. One is ex-
pressed in the sentence, "Saty aj
iianam duhkhakshayah," which
means, "the knowledge of truth is the
destroyer of pain." It is very like,
"Ye shall know the truth, and the
truth shall set you free." The ot-her
principle Is Yoga, the absolute con-
trol of the vibrations of the mind;
the mind which controls all things,
created all things.
I said to ono of his disciples,
"That sounds like Christian .Science."
He answered, "Yes;, they have
seized that principle, but they do not
understand it, nor how to apply it."
The Mahatma spoke of his plan to
form a great world parliament of
truth, which is to unite all who
purelove justice. The parliament is
to be a helper of humanity, to ex-
amine the acts and important move-
ments among the different nations,
judge their exact nature, and under-
take by all possible means that pure
justice "shall be done independently of
what might be called political vested
Interests.
The Mahatma has just received
from members of the British parlia-
ment a request to be received by
him that they may inquire regarding
this' plan. Apart from this plan, the
Mahatma has no desire to make any
foundations, or to organize any so-
cieties, though millions of money have
been offered to him for that pur-
pose.
He holds himself above all doc-
trinal teachings and institutions. His
attitude to all religions and sects is
that they are w^ell In their various
ways for the training of the child-
hood of humanity, which recalls
Christ's speech about His feeding His
followers with milk convenient for
babes, and having many things to
teach which they were not then able
to bear.
"He that wants a good deal must
not ask for a little." nor must he that
wants a thing very badly be content to
ask for it but once — unless, as does
usually happen, one publication of a
Herald want ad. "does the business."

Vienna. Dec. 25. — Witchcraft still

Neblly has just been sent to jail for

on poor people, whom she made be-
lieve that she had magic pow-ers.
She was in league with Stephen Sto-

years old, who is a well known
"miracle worker."
Nebily did a large business in love-
philters and charms against drink,
headache and all kinds of diseases.
For each charm she charged $3.50
land for advice $2.
One woman, the wife of a chauff-
eur named Hauck, paid Xebily alto-

arrested for running over a child.
Nebily undertook to bewitch the

Instead of being bewitched tha

London, Dec. 25.— The question
whether the American system
primary education is superior to the
British is a question that 500 teachers
from Great Britain will pass judg-
ment upon during the next four
months. When It was announced that
Alfred Mosely was arranging for a j
visit of the kind it was immediately i
assumed by some of the American j
educators that the English people had ^
awakened to a sense of their own de-
ficiencies, and that they were send-
ing their teachers to Canada and the
United States for the purpose of learn-
ing how to educate the youth of
their own land. Doubts are beginning !
to creep in however. It is recalled that \
the English system was found lacking
at several points by the Mosely com-
mission, but that tlie American system
was also lacking in many points— per-
haps even more vital. For Instance,
it was recalled that the preponderance
of women teachers in the American
schools brought about the charge that
they made American boys effeminate.
Then the fact was pointed out that the
American schools showed no musical
training worth mentioning, and other
points of weakness and defect soon
became known to the educators of both
countries. In the matter of secondary
schools several of the most experienced
teachers, both English and American
have pointed out that the Americans
are far behind the English in applying
the tests of knowledge and training
of which English and American boys
respectively are possessed at the end
of a given term of school years.

WORK DONE BY
UEE SAVERS
Thousands of Imperiled
Lives and Much Pro-
perty Saved.
Washington, Dec. 25.— Important work
was accomplished during the past year
by the life saving service of the govern-
ment, thousands of imperiled lives and
millions of dollars' wor:h of property be-
ing saved through the heroism and the
unremitting vlgilence of the life savers.
General Superintendent Kimball ot the
life saving service shoA-s In his annual
report that the number of marine dia-
asiters were S49 in the waters of the
United States. In these 40 vessels and
23 persons were lost and 811 persons were
succored at the varioMS stations. Tho
total value of property saved was J12,26tj,-
100, while that lost was Ji',775,(H0. In the
disasters 5,.£J0 lives were imperilled.
At the close of the last fiscal year the
life saving establishments comprised 721)
stations of which 200 were on the Atlantic
coast, t>0 on the Great Lakes, IG on the
Pacific coast proper and one each at the
fails of the Ohio river and Nome, Alaska.
The life saving crew:? rendered assist-
ance of more or less Importance to aa?
vi?sel.s in addition to those which were
lost. Patrolmen and station lookouts al-;o
warnod 97 steamers ard 87 sailing ves-
sels which were runnlnu Into danger, the
warnings undoubtedly averting disasters
which would have caused loss of both life
and property. The lir'e savers rescued
bathers, recovered bodi«js of the drowned
and assisted many persons in distress.
Particularly valuable assistance, it is
noted, was rendered by the life saving
crews at San Francisco during the earth-
quake, and conllagration last April, in
fghting the lire, transporting supplies
and sheltering the homeless.

Hugless" Dance Also in
the New Coarse of
Study.
Chicago. Dec. 25.— ' Hugless" dancing
and "waterless" swimming are to be
taught in the Chicago public schools.
As the gold-spectacled scliool ma'ams
(the musicians' union willing) expel
tuneful sounds from the school piano,
the 270,000 "hopes of the republic" will
balance forward and back, trip througii
the rythmical steps of the stately maz-
urka, glide gracefully into waltzes and
two-steps, trip through polkas or dash
over tile floor in an old-fashioned gal-
lop. But they will trip, glide and dash
alone. No youthful arm will be allowed
to belt the girlish waist, and they won't
even know that they .are dancing, be-
cause in the curriculum the "hugless"
dancing is catalogued as "fancy steps."
As for the "swimming," it will bo a
case of:
"O, mother, may I go out to swim?"
"O, yes, my darling daughter.
Hang your clothes on a hickory limb.
But don't go near the water."
The only difference between the way
that "darling daughter" went swim-
ming and the way the daughters and
sons of Chicago's people are going
swimming this winter is that the sons
and daughters here are not to be per-
mitted to hang their clothes on a hick-

thinks that it would be an excellent
thing for the British teachers to en-
large their experiences and to see for
themselves the large difference which
exists in conditions. However, since
comparisons have been instituted, he
says that he does feel that some of the
provisions of the American system can
be copied with good effect. On the
other hand certain conditions which
appear to work well in the United
States would, he believes, not work at
all in England. In this connection
he instances the system of co-educa-
tion which prevails with few ex-
ceptions, throughout the entire system
of the Americans. The relations of the
sexes, he says, are different in Eng-
land because of the numerical su-
periority of women and of the tradi-
tions and accepted ideas which would
make it extremely unwise to attempt
to cultivate the co-educational ideas on
English soil. *
An article which has just appeared in
The Nineteenth Century, written by
Maj. Gen. Sir A. B. Tullock. is like-
ly to cause English enthu.siasm for the
Japanese to .cool very ciuieklv. for llie
rea-son that the one thing which the
Englishman will not forgive in other
countries is Interference in the English
trade in certain spheres of influence.

use, such as cricket ha.ts and tennis rac-
quets made in Japan, are in Australia
cutting out articles made in England."
This is only one of an hundred similar
instances cited by the writer.
According to an American now in Don-
don the silkworm has been beaten at his
own business, for by a new invention ic
is claimed that artificial silk can be made
cheaper tlian rags.
Artificial silk so soft and glossy that it
T^ill deceive even experts when woven
has for some time past been made from
vLscose, whlcli is obtained from cotton
and certain kinds of wood pulp. It has
now been found possilbe, it is claimed, by
a special process to get cellulose (an
earlier stage of the same. sul)stance>
from the cotton seeds' husks, formerly
thrown away or given to the cattle for
food.
The new process has been patented and
Mr. Strong of the Cotton Oil and p-lbre
compan.v, of Norfolk, Va., who is now
in Dondon, told a reporter of the possi-
bilities of the discovery:
"Commercially, this new method of
getting cellulose, is of the utmost im-
portance," he said. "Cellulose is the
foundation not only of artificial silk, but
of gun cotton, smokeless powder, cellu-
loid and vulcanized fibre, so it has b"pn
of tile gieatest moment to discover the
cheapest and the best way of obtaining
it.
"For twenty years experiments have been
in progress and at last It has l^een possi-
ble to separate the cotton seed mechan-
ically from the "fuz" or the outer husk.
This part was formerly so much waste
and was thrown away.
"Now, by our process the substance is
placed in a conical shaped receptacle and
under pressure is forced through a multi-
tude of holes into a preparation of chem-
icals. The hair-like threads are thus
formed and are wound like silk on glass
reels.
"The resulting artlfluial silk threads
are stronger than hairs and have the ap-
pearance and property of real silk.'"

for is asked by August Jolinson of the
North Shore Abrasive company, for in-
juries received In a fall from a scaffold at
the company's plant at Crystal Bay,
Lake county, Uec. 81, 1904. Johnson
claims that the sciiffold was constructed
of defective lumber, that It was not put
up in a workmanlike manner, and that it
gave way, precipitating him ten feet to
the frozen ground below. He alleges that
he broke his right leg and received oilier

John Lind demands judgment of $5,240
against the city of Duluth for injuries
received in a fall through a defective side-
walk on Fourtli street, between Fourth
and Fiftli avenues east, Juno 30, 1908.
Lind alleges tliat there was a rotten
plank in the walk, and that the city au-
thorities, whose duty it is to see that
the walks are kept in a safe condition,
knew that It was a menace to people
using the walk. He claims that his leg
was broken near the thigh and that tlie
muscles were wrenched and strained so
that he was laid up for thirteen weeks
from his injuries. Lind.al.so claims that

Beginning with the opening of the
public scliools for the winter term on
Jan. 2. the course of study is to be en-
riched by the introduction of the 'hug-
less" dancing and the "waterless" or
"wetless" swimming.
Instructions for performing the two
"stunts" are contained In a new pros-
pectus of the course of study In physi-
cal culture prepared by Henry Suder,
physical director of tho public schools.
"Oh, yes, I suppose It is dancing,"
said Prof .Suder, "but we call it fancy
steps. It is intended to develop grace
of motion and flexibility of body, and
at the same time it is an exceedingly
Important physical exercise."
And In regard to the "wetless" swim-
ming. Prof. Suder had this to say:
"The teaching of swimming In the
schools was suggested, following the
wreck of the steamer Gen. Slocum."
The swimming exercises, according to
the prospectus, are to be taught in two
ways. The children first are to be put
through the various strokes while In
a standing position. Later they are to
be hung from flying rings, and, with a
wide leather belt around their waists
to support them, they will enjoy all the
sensations of swimming without fear
of cramps.
Under the caption "Fancy .Steps" the
manual provides for Instruction in the
following steps.
Double change step.
Gallop step.
Waltz step.
Draw step.
Balancing exercises.
Hopping with swinging of foot for-
ward and all kinds of hopping.

It Is Important when desiring the address of your
paper changed to give both old and new addresses.
CHRISTMAS.
A time of giving and receiving gifts; a time of bril-
liant and heavily-laden Christmas trees; a time of glitter-
ing tables, covered with good things to eat in an un-
usually elaborate profusion of quantity and quality; a
time of going to church to render thanks for the ability
to provide these things, and for the blessings to human-
ity in the life and death of Him of Calvary; a time of
expansion of spirits and a time of outflowing of good
will and good cheer; a time of cheery sleigh bells, of
white-coated earth; a time of "peace on earth, good
will towards men."
Such is Christmas as it should be. It is not always
that way. The giving and receiving of gifts, intended
to promote the spirit of love and affection, and to give
pleasure to giver and receiver, is too often productive
of heartache and discomfort. The giving of a simple
gift, accompanied by heartfelt good wishes, often pro-
duces better feeling than the bestowal of a rich gift by
one who seeks to vaunt his wealth upon one who real-
izes the impulse and resents it.
Again, there are many homes where to give is im-
possible, and to receive is painful because of the inabil-
ity to return; homes where, if there is any at all, the
Christmas tree is an illclad evergreen, with scanty
boughs and cheap decorations, meagerly covered wMth
poor gifts, though accompanied by the highest type of
real affection; homes where the Christmas table is hum-
ble, where the good things are few and the plain things
none too plentiful; homes where the children gain the
idea that Santa Claus is a pitiful snob, who showers
his gifts upon the children of the rich and passes by
with contempt the needy children of the poor.
The church-going part of it, in many cases, is omitted,
and there is no thought of the Redeemer who died that
men might have life eternal; there are many to whom
Christmas is no more than a pagan festival, a breathing
spell from the daily grind of labor, a time to eat too much
and to give more than one can afford. With many there is
no expansion of spirits, no good will, no good cheer^no
peace on earth, no good will to men, no glory to God. To
such the merry sleigh bells jar on the nerves, and the
white coating of the earth brings dismal foreboding of
the time when it will melt and turn to disagreeable
slush.
But fortunately, these are the exceptions, not by any
means the rule, and in spite of incidental flaws, Christ-
mas is the most joyous of the year's festivals, the most
religious and deep-meaning of holidays, the time of
greatest comfort and of best cheer, the time when men
grow closer to each other and closer to that invisible
world from which came the One that taught them the
lesson of brotherhood.
May the mellowness of the Christmas spirit, in all its
deepest significance, glow in the hearts of all, and may
peace, plenty and prosperity abide with you always.
RECIPROCAL DEMURRAGE. .
Elsewhere tonight The Herald publishes a communi-
cation in reference to reciprocal demurrage, and to the
opinion of E. E. Clark, of the interstate commerce com-
mission, that the states should keep their hands off such
matters, and leave them to the federal authorities to
handle.
The correspondent dots not believe that Mr. Clark is
right, and The Herald thorouglily agrees with this con-
clusion.
In the interview referred to, Mr. Clark, being asked
what the Northwestern legislatures could do about the
car shortage, said: "Stale legislatures should do nothing.
My fear is that any independent action on the part of
state authorities will only make a bad situation worse.
Even congress can give no help which will be effective in
time to relieve the present crisis. In my opinion the
thing to do now is to leave the interstate commerce
commission to handle the case as best it can under its
present authority. We can use moral suasion with the
railroads, and we are doing that."
Notwithstanding this opinion, the Minhesota legisla-
ture should by all means adopt, at the coming session, a
strong reciprocal demurrage law. Let congress do what
it can, and let the interstate commerce commission do its
part. Let it even try "moral suasion," though the rail-
roads in the past have not shown themselves to be par-
ticular suspectible to such influences as that. There is
no danger of a multiplicity of cooks spoiling the com-
mercial broth. It would be hard indeed to make the
situation any worse than it is, and it c'lainly is pos-
sible, or should be, for the lawmakers to compel the rail-
roads to perform the services for which the public is
absolutclj- dependent upon them.
Congress, of course, has jurisdiction over interstate
commerce only. A drastic federal law might leave ship-
pers in Minnesota absolutely helpless. It might even
make the situation worse for them, where they are doing
intrastate business only, in the absence of a state law
protecting them.
As it is now, if a shipper gets an empty car and does
not load it quickly enough, he is fined by the railroad.
li he gets a loaded car and does not unload it within a
specified time, he is fined again.
But when a shipper orders an empty car, he waits
until it pleases the railroad to give it to him. He may
be a small shipper, and there may be bigger customers
that the railroad will care for first. When the car is
loaded, the shipper has again to wait upon the conven-
ience of the railroad to move it away.
The theory of the reciprocal demurrage plan is that
the shipper is as much entitled to prompt service as the
railroad is, and that if the railroad can fine him for de-
lays, he can get square by fining the railroad for delays.
Nothing could be fairer, and nothing could be more de-
sirable. The people were not created to serve the rail-
roads, but the railroads were created to serve the people.
Two years ago a reciprocal demurrage bill passed the
house, and was mercilessly defeated in the senate by
the senate "combine,"' an organized wheel within a wheel
that served the corporations.
The people should look to it that this thing does not
occur again.

BUSHELS OF DIAMONDS.
Purchases of luxuries are always a pretty clear indica-
tion of prosperity, and perhaps there are no commodi-
ties which are so completely in the class of luxuries as
diamonds. It is interesting and significant to note, there-
fore, from a recent government report, that the imports
of diamonds have grown marvelously in the past few
years, and that at least three-fourths of the world's out-
put of cut diamonds find a market in the United States.
With a view to building up a diamond-cutting indus-
try in the United States, there is a lo per cent duty on cut
diamonds, while uncut diamonds are admitted freely of
duty.
Incidentally and parenthetically, it is illuminative of
the spirit of our tariff laws that necessaries of life should
be covered by duties of 25 to 100 per cent and more,
while pure luxuries like diamonds are admitted free if
they are uncut, and pay only 10 per cent duty if they are
cut.
In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1906, this country
imported diamonds to the value of $34,862,(500, of which
$24,282,900 represented cut diamonds, and $10,579,700 rep-
resented uncut diamonds. In spite of the differential in
favor of the diamond-cutting industry, we still have most
of our diamonds cut abroad. Nearly half the cut dia-
monds imported last year were from the Netherlands,
for Amsterdam has the largest diamond-cutting estab-
lishments in the world. However, the differential +ias
had an effect. In 1897 we only imported uncut diamonds
to the value of $47,865, and ever since the imports have
been growing. They were $2,517,759 in 1898, $6,574,630 in
1901, and $10,579,700 in 1906.
It was not until 1898, however, that we began to deal
very heavily in diamonds. In 1897, when we were still
recovering from the panic, our funds were devoted to
other purposes, and we imported only to the value of
$1,985,809 of cut and uncut diamonds, against $34,862,600
last year.
In the ten years covered by the report we imported
diamonds to the value of $177,627,881, of which $63,544,787
represented uncut and $114,083,094 represented cut dia-
monds. This represents a lot of jewelry, and it shows
where a goodly proportion of our spare change has gone
in the past ten years.
The sources of our imports last year were as follows:
United Kingdom, $6,964,500 of uncut and $4,307,800 of cut
diamonds; Netherlands, $944,600 of uncut and $10,192,800
of cut diamonds; France, $567,600 of uncut and $5,007,-
800 of cut diamonds; all other countries, $23,900 of uncut
and $196,100 of cut diamonds.
The growth of the imports of uncut diamonds from
$48,000 in 1897 to nearly $11,000,000 in 1906 shows beyond
question that, whether or not the 10 per cent differential
did itj a diamond-cutting industry has been built up ii>
this country.
MINNESOTA'S WEALTH.
The federal census bureau has just issued a bulletin
showing the value of the property of the nation, and of
its states. From it some interesting facts about Minne-
sota may be gained.
For instance, while the value of the real property of
the country in 1904 was $767.22 per capita, the value
of Minnesota's real estate and improvements was
$1,024.99 per capita. The average value per acre was
$32.75 for the nation, and $38.21 for the state.
The aggregate value of the real property of Minne-
sota in 1904 was $1,982,552,389 in 1904, against $1,457,295,-
712 in 1900. Of this total $123,845,207 was exempt from
taxation in 1900, and $122,909,984 in 1904.
The total value of Minnesota's wealth in 1904 was
$3.343722,076, against $2,513,620,826 in 1900. Besides real
property, this was divided as follows: Livestock, $126,-
353.319 i" 1904, against $95,876,400 in 1900; farm imple-
ments and machinery, $35,673,607 in 1904 against $30,099,-
230 in 1900; manufacturing machinery, tools and imple-
ments, $45,121,997 in 1904 against $37,953,943 in 1900; gold
and silver coin and bullion, $35.947.50i in 1904 against
$33,165,250 in 1900; railroads and their equipment, $466,-
734,000 in 1904 against $347,i50,ooo in 1900; street rail-
ways, shipping, waterworks, etc., $126,062,305 in 1904
against $81,097,668 in 1900; all other property, $521,276,-
958 in 1904 against $430,982,623 in 1900.
The most obvious moral of this is that if the tax offi-
cials were as successful in finding property as the census-
taker, taxation would be much less of a problem than it
is. For instance, against this total value of Minnesota's
property of $3,343,722,076, place the total assessed value
of property in Minnesota for the same year, which was
$786,869,809. The assessed valuation was about 23 per
cent of the valuation placed by the census.
The assessed valuation of lands and improvements
was $390,104,543. and the census valuation, exclusive of
property exempt from taxation, was $1,859,642,405. Land
was assessed at less than 21 per cent of its census valua-
tion. The average assessed value of land per acre in
1904 was $10.08, and the average census valuation was
$38.21.
Railroad property, however, is not included in the
assessed valuation of the state, and this would make
some change in the proportions if there were any way
of figuring it. There is not however, because the assess-
ors place no value upon railroad property, which pays
a gross earnings tax to the state in lieu of all other taxes
and assessments.
But the assessors overlook a good deal. For instance,
they did not find much of that $35,947,501 in gold and
silver coin and bullion.

HOTEL GOSSIP.
_j
A young man with a baby girl In his
arms entered the South Shore city ticket
office the other day. He appeared about
24 years of ago, and was a tall, clean-
cut, manly-looking fellow. The child was
80 very pretty that it attracted the at-
tention of every mai In the ofHce, and
struck a responsive chord in their hearts.

I ne agent and his iissistant were busy
for the moment, and the youner father
v^earlly turned his eyes to the window.
The joyou.s Christmas throng was pass-

oui.<n.'s under their arms that denoted a
merry Christmas for friends and rel-
atives. A feeling of good fellowship and

He was willing ehoui?h to talk, and the
railroad man formed a liking for him at

how old she wa.s, and other little things
th"t might be and were of Interest to a

The man's face clouded over. "Yes,
home for Christmas," he said wearily,
and then, "Poor little thing," as he
glanced toward the bench. The baby was
asleep, with its mite of a head drooped
to one side, and pretty blue eyes hidden
behind fast-clo.sed lids. Two chubby
fists, loo.sely clenched in the child's lap,
bid a sturdy defiance to a cold and
thoughtless world.
"Poor thing," her father repeated, a
catch in his voice. "'You see." he added
apologetically, "we have been traveling

Then he picked up his tickets, the

"There will be bfid ra.llroad wrecks
as long as the freight and passenger
trains continue to use the same tracks,"
said G. K. Holmes of Chicago at the
the Spaiding. "If you «rlll observe the
newspaper accounts of the railroad
wrecks you will notice that the bad ones,
after freights have p;issed their stations,
in almost every instance, are the result
of the carelessness of block signal men
after freights have pissed their stations,
the carelessness of the freight men them-
selves, or a mistake by some of the men

"I do not suppose that railroads will

will be done in time, but It Is sure to be

$30,00 for every person killed in an acci-

"The railroad officials in this country

THE WEATHER,.
One of the most acceptable Christmas
gifts bestowed today in Duluth was the
v/eather. It was clear, calm, mild, mag-
nificent. Last night was a typical Christ-
mas eve, with Its merry crowds upon the
streets and with falling flakes of snow
twinkling in the electric lights. The
weather man predicts fair weather and
moderate temperatures for tonight and
tomorrow. Last night's lowest was 17
dtgs. and yesterday's highest was M
degs.
The sun set at 4:24 this afternoon, five
minutes later than the earliest of the
year, and rises tomorrow morning at 'i:54.
A year ago today there was giorlous
Christmas weather.
Says Mr. Richardson of conditions:
"Ideal Christmas weather prevails
through the Northwest this morning. A
little snow fell last night near Lake Su-
perior. Clear weather Is the rule this I obtained
morning in the Red River valley, the
Dakotas and Minnesota, with temper-
atures ranging from about zero at Dev-
ils Lake and Minnedosa to 10 and 20 degs.
above in the other portions of the districts
mentioned. The barometer remains high
in the lake region, while over Montana
there is a very slight barometric depres-
sion which Is causing some cloudiness in
the extreme Northwest."

Slave unto his gold.
Binding him with chains and shackles
In remorseless hold.
He would be a poet humble.
Earning what he would
With his simple lay and sonnet.
If he could.
If he could he'd be a farmer,
Turning up the loam.
W'restling with the hungry mortgage
Eating up the home,
Counting lowly ways and labor
Sweet and ever good,
Better than the care of riches,
If he could.
If he could he'd scatter millions
Out among the poor.
Bidding them to his possessions.
Welcome nevermore.
Having him an humble cottage
In some quiet wood
Where the life is worth the living.
If he could.
Shed a tear for Mr. Croesus,
Sad his lot and cold.
Working, scheming, and contriving.
Nothing gained but gold.
Only gold to fret and grieve him,
Not the goal he would—
Desolate would we believe him
If we could.

Cleveland Plain Dealer: In many re-
spects the season of navigation on the
Gh"eat Lakes which is just closing has been
a record breaker. About S.OOO.OUO tons of
ore have been carried in excess of the
tonnage of any previous year, while grain
and coal traffic has been very heavy.
That the passenger traffic has been ex-
cellent is proved by the action of the De-
troit & Cleveland and Detroit & Buf-
falo compjinles In declaring substantial
dividends as the result of the season's
business.
Statistics show that a merchant marine
has been l)Uilt up on the Great Lakes lar-
ger than the shipping of any foreign
country except England and Germany.
It Is difficult to comprehend the magni-
tude of the traffic on these inland seas,
especially for tho.se Americans who are
familiar only with the salt water ship-
ping interests. Even in the lake cities
this great business is too much taken for
granted, and not enough effort made to
provide proper harbor facilities.
Nevertheless this gratifying result of
the navigation season has been ac4iieved
at a high cost of life and money. I..ast j than the quality of the resolve, the

GRUB IS THE

Woodsmen iu the Wiscon-
sin Camps Enjoy Ex-
cellent Fare.
I ,!
Indians of Odanah Res-
ervation Make Good
Lumberjacks.
"I have always understood that
mt-n ill the logging camps were fed
Well, but I never nalized how very
good their fare was until I visited
tlie oamps of the Stearns Lumber
company at Odanah. Wis., last week.'"
said J. A. McDonald of The Herald
circulation department yesterday.
"The woodsmen are fed with the best
In the land, and the cooks employed
at the camps are all experts in tlieir
line.
•I stopped at five of the camps.
James Ryan, Edward McDonald,
Frank M'»rrison, Dan Wier and Mr.
K-i.lin were the foremen. All of them
t!"at^'d me white, and proved them-
selves to be good fellows. The cooks i
at every i»lace dished up food that
fairly made ones mouth water, but
f.)r pumpkin pies. Pete Larson had
thr>n» all beat. His pies were not
like mother used to make— they were
better, I have been around a good
d^al, but never struck anything like
them beforf. When a stranger hap-
pns into a camp he is offered a
t- nipting lunch right away, and good
pie is always a feature of the
spread.
"Odar.ah is about nme miles out
of Ashland. It is a nice little place,
supported entirely by the lumber in-
terests. The Stearns company has a
sawmill there that runs night and
diiy the year round. The concern
employs more than 1.500 men.
• I was somewhat surprised to find
that many of the lumberjacks were
l:;i]ians. Quite a few were half
hr-eds. The operations are being
carried on on the Indian reservation.
The Indians and half-breeds have the
reputation of being good workers.
contrary to general belief in the
cities. They will get out and work
vith the best of the white men, al-
though they will not keep at it so
sttadily all through the winter as
the average white man, I am told.
•The lumberjack.s as a whole are
a pretty decent sort. They go to
bed In the Odanah camps at 9 o'clock.
a:;d are up long before daylight in
the morning. They are in the woods
before sun-up. The Stearns company
carries on all its work in the most
modern way. There are two lines of
logging railroads running into the
woodiv. and then there is. of course,
a good deal of hauling done by team.
At Morrison's camp the region is
pretty hilly, and the loaded sleds are
pulled up one lonsr hill by means of
ai. engine placed at the top of the
Incline.
• Dan Wler has an entirely new set
of caanps, and everything is particu-
lirly slick and clean about the place.
A w.'ll is now being drilled. It is al-
r-a.ly down 400 feet. The fact that
the ground is still soft is interfering
with logging operations to a certam
extent, but in the Odanah region
there is not too much snow, as is the
CAse in some parts of Northern Min-
nesota."

Lecture Course to Farm-
ers at State School
of Agriculiure.
The agricultural department of the state j
university has for several years offered i
each winter a lecture course to farmers |
who have not the time to attend thoj
regular school course. For the past two i
winters two weeks of each term has been
used for tnstruction in stock and gram j
judging. Practice Is given in the use of i
the score card and in comparative Judg- ,
ing, with a full explanation of reasons.
Considerable time will be given to corn j
judging. A. D. Shamel. expert from the \
United States department ot agriculture, !
will be present ami assist in the \*ork. \
This vear the judging co\irso will begin |
Jan. s and last until the 19th. j

SENDS COOK
TO^LACE
Chef's Wild Boar Brawn
Tickles the Emper-
or's Palate.
Ten Thousand a Year as
Cook for Austria's
Sovereign.
Paris. Dec. 25.— This story is told by
the Cri de Paris:
The chef receiving the highest salary
known to pot-and-pandom is received by
the cordon bleu of the emperor of Aus-
tria $10,000 a year. His name is Perskl.
He was formerly in the service of the
Count de Rhinegau.
One day the emperor dined with the
count. There was served a lordly dish,
brawn made from a wild boar. The old
kaiser ate and ate again. Then he said:
"Count, accept my gratitude. I never
ate so well before. You have an incom-
parable cook."
Highly flattered, for Francis Joseph is
a critical gourmet, the count responded:
TaKc your

Spalding
or
Hotel
Superior
SertJed F^rom 6 to S o'Ciocfi.
"May I have the honor of giving your
majesty the same satisfaction again at
the palace?"
The emperor accepted contentedly.
One day a huge case was brought in a
private carriage to th<! palace in Vienna,
The count's lackeys unloaded it with
groat care and announced tliat the count
requested as a great favor that his
majesty deign to be present himself at
the opening. ,_ . - .
The emperor descended. With infinite
precaution the lackey;? opened the case.
As the last strip of the cover was torn
otT up shot from a mass of packing stuff
the chef himself dressed tn the old stylo
livery of a court cook, with ruffle and
sword. ^,
He saluted and recited some verses the
count hftd composed, setting forth that
there was only one man in the world
with the skill to prepare wild boar's
brawn fit for a sovereign's eating; there
was onl3' one man in the world able to
appreciate that brawn at its worth. Tne
count, his master. the;-efore begged to be
allowed to present thf^ finest of cooks to
the subtlest of appreciators of the cul-
inary art.
The emperor enjoy'^ the prank im-
mensely, accepted th; present, and, as
the counpt paid the cook $5,o00 a year,
added to that sum ih.j same wages from
his own purse. Henco the happy chef is
twice paid, and. being: wise, has laid up
for himself houses and lands, waiting for
the day when, retiring from the imperial
service, he shall be ennobled, as ho
hopes, and marry his sons and daughters
Into the old aristocracy of the country.
London, Dec. 25 -King Edward's
French chef, M. Meniger. is an import-
ant per.=onage in the 'x>yal household. He
has a salary of $9,000 a year besides free
lodgings near Buckingham palace. Ihe
king's breakfast, always a strictly pri-
vate meal, he does not attend, so he
does not reach the pilace until after 11
o'clock. He then receives from the mas-
ter of the household the menus for the
day and at once sets to work upon them
in the sunny royal sitchens, wHere he
has a little army of cooks and assist-
ants, all women, at his beck and call.
I Dinner is served at Buckingham palace
I at 9 o'clock and the .servants and at-
tendants directed by M. Menager wear
scarlet swallowtail coits with dark blue,
igold braided waistcoats, white satin
breeches, and white silk stockings,— a
unique and rcmarkab.y handsome livery.
'AiteT dinner, M. Manager presents his
"leetle bilf for the day,- which i.s paid

supremely satisfied man. . _„K„l^^xr
The king's poulterers will probably
have about a half doJten young swans
for sale. The price, about $10 a pair,
makes them a luxury eV^n for the rich.
For centuries the cTgnct has been a
royal dish and King Edward is fond of
it The flavor is like that of goose.
Queen Alexandra ard two of the city
companies maintain swans and cygnets

laws The largest swannery in the
country is kept by L6rd Ilchester
The old fashion of distinctive dishes
at Christmas seems to b^ fast fading
away. A boar's hef d aftd a haron of
beef still appear at a few of our great
houses, but roast beef and plum pud-
ding now are seldrm seen on smart
dinner tables. Howpver, turkeys and
minee pies remain in favor, and Some
hosts and hostesses order exotic fare,
such as a swan, reindeer, etc. Should
the cellars of a host contain any old
vintages, these wines are sure to be se-
lected for use at dessert on Christmas
day. At a few sm;irt houses a change
has crept in as regards the service in
dinner. Nowadays the Joint often pre-
cedes the entree; and the sweet course
is .apt to be served before the savory.
As tne up-to-date "sweet" usually take.s
the form of an ice or an iced souffle,
this means that the cold dish comes
first and not the hot s.avory.

GIRL'S TRANCE IS
FATAL TO FIANCE
Wooer, Thinking That
Sweetheart Is Dead,
Ends His Life.
Buclapest, Dec. 25.— The story of Romeo
and Juliet is recalled by a tragedy at a
country place near Szilagysombyo, Hun-
gary, where a lover committed suicide
i when he saw his sweetheart in a trance,
I believing her dead.
i Frark Kasiniski was engaged to Mile
is%''?cnzadi, a farmer's daughter, who,
1 however, was tormented by a rejected
isuiior. who threatened to kill her. His
i violent conduct at last caused her health
i to brtal. down, and she apparently died.
The girl was laid out in a coffin, and
her fiance who came to take a last look
at her showed such passionate grief that
it wat- thought iie had gone insane. Atter
kissing the girl's lips and writing a note
.vaving that he would not be parted from
her even in death, he shot himself
through the head with a revolver.
The noise brought Mile. Sviscnzadi out
of her trance, and when the members of
her family rushed in they found Kasin-
l.ski lying dead and the sappo.sed corpse
silting up, shrieking and trying to get
out ot her coffin.
Tlie girl had been in a state of cata-
lepsy, which only the shock of her lover's
suicide had broken, for she had been con-
scious, but helpless, the wliOle time un-
der the preparations for her burial. She
is row critically ill through her terrible
experiences.
MAYOR'S DAUGHTER TO WED
Tom Johnson Doesn't Know of Engage-
ment to Italian "Count."
Cleveland, Dec. J."..— Close upon the
news of the secret marriage of Mayor
Tom Johnson's .son, Loftin, comes the re-
ported engagement of the mayor's daugh-
ter, Bessie Johnson, to Frederico Marian!
of New York, scion of a wealthy Italian
family.
No formal announcement of the be-
trothan has been made, and both Mayor
and Mrs. Johnson say they have no
krov.'ledge that their daughter is to wed
tl-e lial'sn.
Mfinani has been known during his
res'tiercr. in America both as Signor Mar-
ian; and Count Mariani. But he is not a
count. He himself says so.
I i*. pass any laws they would benefit In-
terstate shipper.s only; those shippers that
engage in interst.ate busliies.s would suffer
more tlum at present as they would ba
without any protection in times of scar-
city of empty cars and their wants
would be entirely ignored until those that
were protected had been fully supplied.
It i.s. therefore, equally important that
the state should protect their shippers b.v
l:iw. Another view of this question which
has been held by some of our best author-
ities i.s that demurrage is strictly a state
proposition, not being in any way a part
of a through rate, but an entirely separ-
ate charge, accuring solely within the
state and, therefore, strictly governed by
state laws. Yours truly.

End of Reign of King of Servia is Very
Near.
Berlin, Dec. 24.— The end of King Peter
of Servia's reign draws nearer and near-
er. Physically, he has become a broken
man, and the "regicide" party, bent upon
his removal, are still the most powerful
influence in the country.
They have procured the savage sentence
of twenty-five years' imprisonment on five
of tile officers and sergeants accused of
the so-called "anti-regicide plot," while
twenty-eight others have been severely
punished, and this in spite of the evi-
dence against the men breaking down.
There is a well-concealed plot to replace
King Peter by a foreign prince. The
powerful army party favor an Knglisn
prince, although Prince Mirko of Monte-
negro Is another candidate, and .some Ser-
Ivians would bke a German king Any-
Kvay, the coup d'etat now cannot be de-
layed long.
! RECIPROCAL DEMURRAGE.
I
Legislature Should Pass Such a Law at
Comlrig Session.
To the Editor of The Herald:
Your attention is respectfuly called to
the interview in Tuesday's Minneapolis
Journal in which E. E. Clark, interstate
commerce commi-ssioner, is purported to
say that the individual state legislatures
should keen hands off in respect to recip-
rocal demurrage laws and leave the ques-
tion of the car shortage problem to con-
gress for a future remedy. You can do
the shippers of Minnesota a favor by
calling attention to the error of this view
of the question. Congress has control
over iiitei state traffic solely and should
FIRE PROTECTION BILL.
Designed to Raise Standard of Con-
struction Throughout the Country.
Columbus. Ohio, l)-c. 25— The Ohio
State Journal is authority for the state-
ment that every state legislature which
meets this winter will have laid before it,
for its consideration and prospective en-
actment, a bill designed to regulate the
construction of buildings in its cities and
towns, to the end that they may be more
nearly fireproof, and that legislation
throughout the country, having this end
in view shall be uniform. This bill has
been drifted for the International Society
of Municipal Building Commissioners by
its executive officer. Architect F. W. Filz-
patrick, of Washington, D. C, than whom
no man knows more about building nor in
better qualified to define tlie regulations
that should hedge it about to make it
substantial and safe.
The society calls attention to the fact
that even in such years of great at>und-
ancu as this, when building is at high
tide, we permit fire to destroy more than
half in value of the new construction
done. It points out that not only do wo
as a nation build so flimsily as to literally
encourage, aid and abet fire, n.s it were,
but that we even tolerate systems ot con-
struction so imperfect that buildings ac-
tually collapse while still in process of
enction, witness the frequent and fatal
collapses of reinforced concrete stnic-
tures all over the country.
Reverting to fire again the society's rec-
ords show that destruction wrought by
that element in this country equals a tax
of 12.50 for every man, woman and child
of our population, while in all of Europe
the same tax averages but thirty-two
c.nio ptr capita. It would certainly seem
timely that some concerted action be tak-
en \\ the state governments to les.scn this
appalling waste of the country's re-
sesources.

THE HARBOR
QUESTION
Public Affairs Committee
of Commercial Club
to Take Stand.

Meeting WiH be Held to
Draw Up Some
Resolutions.
The public affairs committee of the
Commercial club will hold a meeting
Thursday evening to take some definite
stand on the harbor question and pos-
elbly select someone to be sent as the
committee's representative before the
rivers and harbors committee of con-
irress, which will discuss this matter
In Washington, Jan. 15.
It will be remembered that a lively
discussion and a hearing on the break-
water proposition was held in Duluth
last summer, when many difterent
schemes for improving the harbor
were suggested, one of them being no
less than to cut a new canal through
the middle of Park Point.
At the meeting to be held Thursday
evening, the committee will come to
some decision as to what the majority
of Duluth's citizens want in the way
of improvements; what kind of a
breakwater would be the most prac-
tical and will notify the rivers and
harbors committee either by letters
and through the Minnesota represen-
tatives in congress or. in addition, by
a member of the committee, who shall
make a special trip to Washington for
the puriiose.
The session will be called to order in
the club rooms promptly at 8 p. m.,
Thursday and an effort is being made
to have every member of the committeo
and other citizens who are interested
in this matter, present.
The breakwater proposition has been
discussed pro and con in Duluth for
some time. Mariners and others have
realized that some sort of a protec-
tion was needed to keep the heavy
swells from rolling through the canal
and make it less dangerous for vessel-
men to make this harbor in limes of
storm.

CHAPTER 29th
We wisli The Herald and all of its
readers, Christmas joy, which is not
dependent upon a manipulated metal
market, money rates nor stock quo-
tations, for it is a question whether
these add to the sum total of human
happiness for while a few may rejoice
aloud over their successes and gains,
many mourn in silence over their
disappointments and losses. If you
are wise, conservative and fair, hap-
piness will be yours all the year.

THE HONOR OF THIEVES.
A merry fancy distinguished the
theft of Parisian robbers who sacked
a house in the Rue de la Chapelle in
the spring, says the London Evening
Standard. "Your clock has stopped
chiming; we will take it to the watch-
maker," ran the note which they left
behind them. "For fear you should be
robbed we are removing your jewels."
It could only have been coincidence
which brought thieves to the vestry
of Martlako Congregational church
last May to steal the overcoat of the
pastor while he was in the pulpit
preaching from the text, "Lay not up
for yourselves treasure upon the
earth, where rust and moth doth cor-
rupt, and where the thieves break
through and steal." Some thieves have
a sense of fitness.
A fight with brigands in Chalcidis a
year or two ago resulted in the death
of a soldier. The brigands sent £500
to his widow. Bushrangers who held
up Sir Arthur Hodgson discovered
later the identity of their victim. They
returned his horse to its poddock. with
the wallet tied about its neck and his
money and watch inside. Even the
Chinese pirates have some honor, ono
of our consuls reports, and will pay

commandeered for their expeditions.

HAPPENINGS IN

Farmer Lost In Blizzard
and is Very Near
Death.
NORTH DAKOTA.
Mlnot— Joseph Arnold, a prominent far-
mer near Tagus. last week had a narrow
escape from death on the prairies near his
home. Arnold had spent the evening at
the house of a neighbor and started for
his home in the midst of a blizzard. The
snow was so thick i.hat all land marks
quickly were obliterated and walking was
made exceedingly difi'icult.
Walking with lowered head. In an ef-
fort to keep the snow out of his face,
Arnold lost his bearings and wandered i
for over five hours. Several times he
fell, utterly exhausted, but the thought
that to lie there meant death by freezing
spurred him to further efforts, and by
sheer force of will he managed to keep
moving.
Finally through the blinding snow he
Cftught the glimmer of a lamp, and guided
by it he managed to reach the house of
a neighbor, which ^^as barely a stone' s
throw from his own.
Faint with his effort to keep moving,
Arnold fell unconscious to the floor, and
it required several hours of strenuous
work to bring life back. His hands and
feet were badly fro::en and for several
days he was in a precarious condition.
Liitest reports were lo the effect that he
Is expected to recover.

QUEER CURE IN GERMANY.
Some one has been making an Inves-
tigation as to the survival of medical
superstitions in Germany and his dis-
coveries have been reported in the
Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung. All
sorts of outlandish ideas and practices
were found in active prevalence in the
marshlands of the Weser, north of
Bremerhaven, and In the Luneburg
Heath, a barren region between the
Elbe and Aller.
In both of these districts the touch
of a corpse's hand is still regarded as
curative of many local ills. In the
Wasermarsch the practice is to steal
secretly into the room where the dead
person is laid out, and with the dead
hand stroke the afflicted part. In the
Luneburg Heath the application is es-
pecially used as a cure for warts and
for cramps in the stomach.
Less grewsome is the remedy for
hernia, still applied In the marsh
country. On the night of St. John the
Baptist day, June 24. the patient must
be dragged through the split of a cleft
ash tree. Three men. bearing the first
name of John, must perform the opera-
tion, and it must be conducted in dead
silence.
Some of the cures depend, on the
contrary, upon verbal formulas. For
hiccough the sufferer must cross a lit-
tle wooden footbridge over a stream—
an easy matter fn the marshland.?
with their many drainage ditches. As
he crosses he must repeat the nursery
rhyme:
Snik-op un Ik gungen ober dat steg
Snik-op fult herin un Ik gung weg.
This bit of dialectic German may be
translated:
Hiccough an^ I went over the bridge,
I went on. Hiccough fell in the ditch
For erysipelas a fire is lighted and a
pinch of ashes from it is rubbed on
the skin to the accompaniment of a
saying to the effect that the ashes and
the sore went over the Red sea to-
gether, the ash came back, but the sore
never again. Numerous other sayings,
supposed to have the force of charms,
usually when uttered simultaneously
with, some action, are quoted. Tho
Luneburger, for instance, w-ho has
warrants makes the sign of the cross
on the warts, while gazing at the
crescent moon, saying, "What I see.
that I win; what I wish, ,that dis-
appears." It rhymes in the German
dialect.
Sometimes the formula Is not spoken.
The Wesermasch folk have a saying
which they write on a piece of paper
when anyone has the fever; then they
burn the paper. The Luneburgers have
no formula, but they write the name,
year of birth and birthplace of the
sick persori In a lonely place three
nights running. Other remedies for
fever con.sist in swallowing spiders or
dust filed from a church bell.
When a tooth comes out the los'°r
must throw It backward over his head.
Hair combings must not be thrown out
of the window, because the birds might
get them and f.y away with them. In
that case the person who was separat-
ed from them would speedily become
bald.
DOOLITTLE'S ERROR.
Doolittle said he didn't know any-
thing about golf, which was per-
fectly true, but was willing to follow
them around the course and study
birds and botany — Doolittle is long
on botany, says the New York Sun.
Bassette had told Doolittle that tho
course was full of hazards, so he was
surprised to find nothing more
hazardous than a few meadow
brooks, which he crossed without
any trouble, and he was really en-
joying himself very much when ha
espied something Avhite in the grass
at his feet.
He bent over and examined It
eagerly, thinking it might be a new
variety of mu-^^hroom — Doolittle is
nearsighted — but was disappointed to
find that it was only a hard ball,
very likely a golf ball, he thought,
as he recalled Bassotte's having men-
tioned his good luck in finding sev-
eral of them a few days before and
having said that they were worth
from 7 5c to $1 apiec'.>. Picking it
up, he put the ball in his pocket and
went on looking for fungi.
Presently Doolittle met a stranger,
who was lugging a heavy bundle of
sticks and seemed lo be looking for
something. He appeared .«n anxlijus
and was laboring under .«uch a bur-
den that Doolittle Inquired sympa-
thetically if he had lost anything.
The stranger looked at him a little
sharply, remarked that the ball must
be near there somewhere and pass-
ed on, dragging the sticks after
him.
Doolittle refiected a moment. He
had Intended presenting the ball to
Bassette, but why shouldn't he help
another out of a predicament, and
at the same time turn an honest
penny for himself? He called the
.•stranger back.
"If this will do you any good."
he said, pulling the ball out of his
pocket, "vou're welcome to It for
whatever it's worth. I ju.st picked
it up a few rods back here."
The stranger stared at him cur-
iously.
"You found It over there, did
you?"
The stranger waved his hand in the
direction of a white object stuck up
on a knoll back of a clump of
bu.shes which Doolittle hadn't noticed
before.
"Why, yes, I guo.ss it was around
there .sornewhere, though I couldn't
.say exactly. You see. I wasn't — "
""And vou would like to sell It
to me?""
The stranger drew a little nearer
and it seemed to Doolittle that he
now detected a shade of sarcasm
in the other's voice.
"As a favor." Doolittle replied, a
little Injured. "It's immaterial to me
as I have a friend who "
But Doolittle never completed the
sentence. Some things that the
stranger told Doolittle surprised him.
other things ^shocked and pained him.
It was all in.strucllvo.
After the stranger had finished
speaking, and he spoke fluently and
at length. Doolittle realized that he
had erred. He also felt that he
would not meddl- with golf balls any
more, but would - onfine himself to
more congenial pursuit of birds
and fungi.
SPIDER CHASED A MAN.
A story Is told by an explorer of a
large and fierce South American spider
which cha.ses mfn if they come too
near Its lurking places. On one occa-
sion he was pursued by one, says the
London Standard.
"Riding at an easy trot over the dry
grass." he writes, "I observed a spider
pursuing me, leaping swiftly along and
keeping up with my beast. I aimed a
blow with my whip and the point of the
lash struck the ground close to It. when
I It Instantly leaped upon and ran up
i the lash, and was actually within three
I or four inches of my hand wben I
' flung the whip fwjm me."

MISSIONARY PATIENCE.
The Rev. Frederick B. Bridgman. the
r.oted and successful missionary to the
^iUius, was talking in Philadelphia about
missionary work, says the Boston <jlobe.
"I am very hopeful of it," he said. "I
may be a little too hopeful because I have
had such good success. It Is better
though, to be too hopeful than too doubt-
ful
"Much depends upon the character of
the people one works among, and I can
sympathize a little with the missionary
who returned hftme from China in a very
detpondent mood.
"A Chinese convert stole this mis.>-ion-
nry's watch and then came back to him
the next morning to learn how to wind
It up."
THE BEST SHADE TREES.
During a severe storm in Washing-
ton, D. C, this summer, it is stated
that probably l.OW trees were badly
Injured.
The Boft or silver maple, says Ar-
boriculture, suffered by far the great-
est loss, while the Carolina poplar,
or Cottonwood, was also badly
broken.
Norway maple, sugar maple, all the
oaks. Oriental plane, or European
sycamore, honey locust, most of the
coniferous" trees and ginkgo, were
among those which were able to with-
stand the beating and bending which
the storm caused for an hour or
two,
There are two trees, the silver
maple and the cottonwood, which are
more popular with the mass of tree
planters than all other shade trees
of America. Both have one fatal
qualification, that of rapid growth.
Losing sight of permanency and
many more excellent qualifications,
these two inferior trees are planted
to the exclusion of all other trees.
Both these trees are short lived,
very much diseased, attacked by in-
numerable Insects, while both are
seriously damaged by windstorms.
Both require much water, and send
their roots Into sewers, wells and
cisterns, which they frequently de-
stroy.

DOMESTIC SCANDAL MAY
FOLLOW CRASH OF THE
CHICAGO LINCOLN BANK
New Woman In the
Case Is Leader in
Society.
President Atkinson Con-
templated Flight to
Avoid Exposure.
TrunRs, Supposed to Con-
tain $65,000. Were
Shipped Away.
Chicago, Dec. 26.— A beautiful society
■woman may figure in the crash of the
Lincoln bank of this city, In addition
to the alleged discovery that trunks,
supposed to contain $65,000 in funds of
the wrecked Lincoln bank of Morton
Park were Bhipped away by President
William J. Atkinson a few days befora
the institution failed.
Reports of domestic troubles in the
Atkinson home said to be due to a.
woman, are partially contirmed by a
statement by Atkinson's lawyer, For-
men Judge S. P. Shope, who hinted
that details of a big scandal might be
forthcoming in a few days.
The new woman in the case, it is
said, is not one of the feminine dupes
used by Atkinson to sign notes, but is
a leader in society In the district in
which she lives.
Flight from Chicago to avoid exposure
and possible prosecution in the bank
crash Is now believed to have been con-
templated by Atkinson. The money
supposed to be in the trunks would
have been ample to have hid him
away in South Anurlca.
It was learned by depositors of the
bank that these trunks were shipped
under suspicious circumstances from
three different railroad stations. Grand
jury action by the depositors is ex-
pected to follow these startling devel-
opments in the wrecking of the bank,
brought about by the frenzied finance
speculations of Atkinson.
A warrant for the banker's arrest
Is prepared, and will be served at
once if he secures his release from the
federal authorities. While Atkinson is
still in custody of Deputy States Mar-
shal Walter Wainwright, the prospect
of his b»-ing suddenly thrust into jail
is constantly before him.

MESSAGE ON
JAPS^CASE
President Will Send Third
Letter to Congress
' on Subject.
Based on Report of the
Commissioner of
immigration.
Washington, Dec. 26.— There Is to
be a new and independent report on
the Japanese immigration question,
and, when it is completed, the presi-
dent will transmit it to congress with
another message, making the third on
this subject.
Frank Sargent, commissioner gen-
eral of Immigration, was at the White
House and gave President Roosevelt
a summary of his investigation of the
Japanese tide of Immigration into Cali-
fornia through Hawaii. As he has just
arrived here, and has not even begun
preparation of his official report, the
commissioner general was unwilling to
give an outline of his conclusions.
His report will have great bearing
upon the settlement of the Japanese
difficulty on the Pacific coast, how-
ever, because all of this Oriental immi-
gration now comes from the Hawaiian
Islands, and. If the flow from Japan to
Honolulu can be stopped, the fear of
Californians of an inundation of Jap-
anese will disappear, violation of law
and order will cease, and normal labor
conditions on the Pacific slope will be
restored.

term, there were filed with the clerk
of the court this morning thirteen new
damage cases in which an aggregate
of $113,486 is demanded either for
Injuries received while in tlie employ
of a corporation, or for the death of
relatives through accidents while the
latter were employed by corporations.
This being the last day for filing
cases to be noted for trial for the
January term, before the calendar is
placed in the hands of the printer,
there was quite a rush of attorneys
to get their cases of record. It was
expected that a large number of ac-
tions would be noted for trial this af-
ternoon.
The largest claim of damages for
personal injuries in the cases filed
this morning, was that of Jacob Jacob-
son of Virginia, who demands $40,350
from the Hobart Iron company be^
cause of injuries received in the Mi-
norca mine May 21. 1906. Jacobson
claims that while he was engaged oit
some work in one of the drifts a
hea\'y explosion a short distance away
shook the mine so hard that several
tons of ore were dislodged from the
roof of the level and fell on him. It is
alleged that Jacobson's injuries are
permanent; that he is partially para-
lyzed in one of his arms and in both
of his legs.
Mike Perala's claim for damages
against the Oliver Iron Mining com-
pany is a little more modest. He asks
$20,000 for injuries received In tlie
Monroe-Tenner mine near Chisholm,
May 17, 1906. Perala alleges hat he
was sent down In what is termed by
the mining men as a "raise" to dis-
lodge some ore that was to be run
through a chute into cars. He claims
that while he was so engaged, with a
rope around his waist to prevent hi.s
falling, the trammers underneath care-
lessly and negligently opened the
chute, and he was buried several feet
under ore as it began to run out be-
low. Perala further alleges that his
fellow workmen above clung to the
rope and that while suspended and
buried in ore until It ran out, he was
subjected to excruciating pain because
of the strain and that when finally
taken out he was more dead than
alive. It is alleged by Perala that he
was totally blind for two weeks after
his accident and that his hearing has
been impaired.
For the Injuries inflicted on his leg
while employed as a sawyer in a mill
at the village of Wright, Carlton
county, Richard Evans demands
$lu,780 damages from the Dunphy
Lumber company.
The accident is alleged to have oc-
curred April 21, 1906, when Evans, in
attempting to remove a slab that had
become lodged between the saw and
the husk, is claimed to have been
struck by the log carriage with such
force that his leg was driven against
the saw, and the muscles and ten-
dons below the knee were severed,
and a small piece of bone was cut
out. Evans claims that the machin-
ery was old and defective, and that
the company knew it was In a deu-
gerous condition.
Mrs. Maggie McGinn^ a resident of
Mountain Iron, has sued the village
for $11,000 on account of a sprained
ankle and broken leg that she claims
lu have received, last spring, by
reason of a fall through a defective
wooden walk,
Victor Kukala demands damages In
the amount of $3,200 from the Oliver
Iron Mining company for Injuries re-
ceived in the Minnesota mine, near
Tower, May 19 last. Kukala alleges
that while shoveling ore at the shaft,
on the thirteenth level, a large quan-
tity of ore fell from the roof of the
level and struck him on the head
and limbs, renderliig him unconscious
and crushing one of his toes. He
alleges negligence in timbering the
mine.
John Takala, administrator of the
estate of Alcksantrl PalomakI, who
was accidentally killed in the Adams
mine at Evekth, Oct. 2, 1906, has
sued the Oliver Iron Mining com-
pany for $5,00<) damages. It is claimed
that PalomakI was working in the
No. 5 shaft, about 150 feet below the
surface, when the timber supports
gave way, and allowed about ten
tons of ore to fall on and crush him.
PalomakI left a widow, whose inter-
eats the administrator represents.
Kust Haglund, administrator of
the estate of John Berg, who was
killed at the Pillsbury mine, July 25,
1906. has sued the Roberts-Kingston
Contracting company for $5,000 dam-
ages for the benefit of a father and
mother of the decedent in Finland.
Berg, who was employed as a
pitman, is alleged to have been run
dov.n and killed by an ore train on
the stripping work.
Peter Nelson has pued the Tower
Lumber company for $10,156 for in-
juries received while employed on a
picket machine In the company's mill
at Tower, Aug. 28, 1906.
Nelson alleges that by reason of
old and defective machinery, a piece
of timber was caught In the saw,
and his hand was yanked under the
roller and against the saw, with the
result that he lost his thumb and four
fingers.
W. G. Bonham. administrator of the
estate of Fred Jykella, who was killed
in the St. Clair mine at Chisholm,
Oct. 16. 1906. has sued the Oliver Iron
Mining company for $5,000 damages In
behalf of a mother and two sisters in
Finland, and a brother at Chisholm.
Jykella, it is claimed, was employed
as a trackman and was run over and
killed by an engine and some cars on
the way to the dump pile. It is alleged
that the train was run at a high rate
of speed, and that no warning signal
was given.
As guardian ad litem for Charle.<»

the Tower Lumber company for $3,000
for injuries received by the boy while
employed at the company's mill at

TRUSTEE SUES
FOR LARGE SUMS
Aggregate Amount of
$35,000 May be Gained
for Creditors.
Two suits have been started in the
United States court by which Thomas
M. Partridge, trustee in bankruptcy
for the Jaynes Lumber company of
Minneapolis, hopes to obtain the ag-
gregate sum of $35,000 for the creditors
of the company from the Red Cliff
company.
In one of the complaints It is al-
leged that F. N. Jaynes and M. L.
Jaynes, the two partners of the com-
pany, a.ssigned the sum of $15,000 to the
Red Cliff Lumber company, but at the
time they were both insolvent and
could pay none of the other creditors.
On this account the trustee is suing
the Red Cliff company for the re-
covery of the money.
It is claimed In the complaint in the
other suit that the two lumber com-
panies made a contract whereby the
Red CliiT company was to supply the
Jaynes company with certain amount
of lumber; that the Jaynes cornpany
carried out its part of the contract,
but that the Red Cliff company failed
to do its part, and that on this account
the Jaynes company lost about $20,000
in profits, and the trustee demands
this sum from the Red Cliff company.
Partridge is represented in the suit
by Attorneys George F. Partridg-e and
James H. Kellog.

BIG m\m
FOR WS HURT
Republic Iron & Steel
Company Sued for
$15,000.
Claiming that the Republic Iron &
Steel company left a supply of fuses
and explosives abou" its mine near
Virginia in too open and unguarded
places, Lao Kitko. through his guar-
dian, Walter G. Bonham, has started
suit in federatl' court for the recovery
of $15,000 damages for the loss of sev-
eral fingers and other Injuries.
Leo Kitko is. a boy of about 6 years
of age, and at the tlnte of the accident
was living with his father near the
mine of the Republic company at the
Franklin location. In the complaint, it
is alleged that the company left its
fuses and explosives about in danger-
ous places and in too close proximity
to the Kitko home.
Last spring the little boy and his
sKster found some of the explosives ani
were tempted to play with them. While
thus handling the dangerous ex-
plosives, one of. theia went oit with
terrific force and tho lad's left hand
was badly Injured. Tivo of the fingers
were blown off and parts of the ex-
plosives were shot into his body else-
where.
Formerly, It la alleged in the com-
plaint, the boy was strong and healthy
but since the accident he has suffered
much pain tind disability. Bonham
who was formally nade guardian to
the lad some time ago, alleges that
the boy never would liave been injured
had the company not been careless in
storing the explosives.
The sum of $15,000 is demanded. At-
torneys William H. Shea and Theodore
Hollister represent Kitko and Bonham.
TROOPS FIND LIABLE FOR
ALLQUIET
Scooba and Wahalak,
Miss., Report Negro
Uprising Overdrawn.
Killing of Black and
Wounding of Conduc-
tor Only Trouble.
Scooba, Miss., Dec. 26.— Late yester-
day indefinite reports reached this
town that four negroes had been
pursued by a posse and killed, five
miles east of here. It was also re-
ported that the negroes in and around
the town were in a state of unrest
and trouble was feared. A telegram
wa,s sent to Governor Vardaman, at
Jackson, asking that troops be for-
warded here from Meridian.
The governor ordered out a com-
pany of militia, and the soldiers ar-
rived here early today. They found,
however, that no trouble existed In
Scooba, and they are now walking
about the little town chatting with
the citizens.
The reported killing of four negroes
yesterday was a direct outgrowth of
the recent trouble at Wahalak, where
a desperate fight occurred on a Mo-
bile & Ohio railroad train, between
two negroes and Conductor Cooper.
One of the negroes was killed, and
the conductor received t^vere injur-
ies,
j Great excitement prevailed at Wa-
halak when it was reported the ne-
groes had threatened to exterminate
the white people and burn the town.
Governor Vardaman promptly sent
the state militia to the scene, but,
after remaining there one day, Col.
McCants and his men returned to
Meridian, reporting that danger of
further trouble had apparently passed
away.
Citizens of Scooba say today that
no clash with negroes is now feared
here. The negro population is quiet.
Advices from Wahalak; this morning
state that excitement there has sub-
sided, and business is being carried
on as usual.

The Gidding Sale Draws Large Crowds.
The Gldding firm announced for to-
day, Wednesday, the beginning of the
annual clearance sale and as usual this
announcement was responded to
by many who were await-
ing this exceptional opportunity, know-
ing from past experience or from hear-
say that half-price claims would be
carried out to tho letter. Consequently
the Gidding store was crowded to its
utmost during many hours of the day,
but the fact that tho number of buyera
was large did not seem to lessen the
individual attention paid each and
every purchaser as the number of
clerks and fitters seemed to be in pro-
portion to the crowd.
Notwithstanding the fact that Santa
Claus had so recently. robbed the purse.M
of many would-be buyers, and limited
the means of many who could but get a
ta.«ite of the value which was there. Still
many a customer departed with a smile
that wouldn't wear off, for the treasure
was theirs. The sale continues until due
notice is given of its withdrawal. • • •
OLD SETTLER DEAD.
Grand Rapids, Minn., Dec. 26.— John
Wasson, aged 27 years, is dead, at
St. Benedict's hospital after a short
Illness. Mr. Wasson had been a resi-
dent of Itasca county for the past
thirteen years and enjoyed a wide cir-
cle of friends. He leaves a wife and
seven children, of whom Mrs. W. P.
Nisbett of this place, Mrs. Burt Mun-
son and Mrs. Sherman of Minneapolis

ent.
Paris, Dec. 26.— The three remain-
ing suits brought by creditors with
the object of making Mme. Gould
(formerly Countess Boni De Castel-
lane) Jointly responsible with the
count for certain claims, were decided
today.
The court found that she was In
no way responsible for the claims of
M. Zeigler, one of the largest credit-
ors, who claimed that It had been
the practice of the Castellancs, ever
since they were married, to appeal to
him to extricate them from financial
difficulties, but held her jointly liable
for Jewels, valued at $24,000, pur-
cliased from Mile. Nimodorff of
Odessa, who sold the Jewels to Count
Boni, through the intermediary of a
Jeweler.
The court also found that Mme.
Gould was Jointly liable for about
$57,000, the balance due the Hartogs,
for a jewelry bill amounting to about
$137,000, provided the bill was not
paid. Three experts were appointed
to appraise the value of the jewelry.

CHARGE WAS
EXPENSIVE
Allegations That Police
Were Grafters Cost
Just $12.50.
Frank Smith is Brought
Before Court on Bench
Warrant.
The intimation that the police
ofl^cers were "grafters" and were
"knocking down" tho bail money
that is posted by prisoners, cost
Frank Smith of West Duluth $12.50
this afternoon.
Smith was arrested on a charge
of drunkenness and disorderly con-
duct a day or two ago, and was
released on $15 bail by the police.
According to the usual custom his
>aii was forfeited when he failed
to appear in court next morning.
The bail is always a little more
than sufficient to cover what the
fine would be, and after the bail
lias been forfeited, tlie police very
.seldoni prosecute the cases further,
unless later developments warrant.
Smith, however, after his bail was
forfeited to the court, is claimed by
the police to have circulated stories
to tiie effect that the police were
grafting, and that they appropriated
the bail to their own use, neglecting
to turn it into court. The story
came to the ears of the West Du-
lutli oflicers, who reported It to
headquarters.
A bench warrant was promptly
secured from Judge Windom to
bring Smith in for contempt of court,
in forfeiting his bail. He was ar-
rested in West Duluth this after-
noon, and was taken before Judge
Windom, who Imposed a fine of $10
and costs.
Anyone familiar with the system
In use knows that the police turn
over the bail money to the clerk of
the court every morning, and the
charges Smith Is claimed to have
made, cost him just $12.50.
ARGUMENTS
ARE BEGUN
Attorneys Argue Over
Testimony in McAlpine-
Miiien Case.
The areruments In the accounting
case of John McAlpine against John
Millen were to have been started be-
fore Judge Dibell this afternoon. The
testimonv in the case occupied several
weeks at the trial ii.st July and this Is
the first time that the court has been
a'ble to hear the argument. The action
is one In which Mr. McAlpine, a well
known logging and timber man. claims
that John Millen, manager of the Al-
ger. Smith & Co.'s interests got about
$150,000 the best of him in a logging
and lumber deal that they entered into
some time ago.
Mr. McAlpine claimed that he held
a, large quantity of Northern Minne-
sota pine under option and that he
entered into a deal with Mr. Millen.
who was to look after the logging and
manufacturing end of the business,
both to share the profits which were
anticipated on the "over-run."
When the timber was finally logged.

sawed and marketed Mr. Millen mtCde
an accounting, in which it was shown
that the transaction was carried on at
a loss instead of a profit. Mr. McAlpine
claimed that Mr. Millen diverted some
of the loes that were shipped from
the banking grounds to the sawmill
and that was the reason there was no
over-run.
Mr. Millen entered a denial of the
charges and instituted a counter claim
of about $26,000 against Mr. McAl-
pine. About $20,000 was alleged to be
due on a note given Mr. Millen by the
plaintiff and the balance was claimed
to be due In various loans and on ac-
count of losses sustained by the part-
nership.

AFTER
CmaSTMAS!
Now we are "between
the years."
The most enormous
holida}' trade done at this
store in the twenty years
of its existence has played
havoc with the stocks. It'll
take the boys a few days
to straig^hten things, to re-
order what is needed dur-
ing the three months of
real winter still before us,
and to find out what
should be disposed of in
"special sales," in order to
put back the stock in the
trim condition for which
the Columbia stores are
noted.
We suppose you, too,
(and your purse), need a
few days* rest, and that
the nauseous din of the
hysterical advertisers, who
profane even the holiday
paper with the shrieking
dissonance of their penny-
trumpets, gives you a
lieadache.
Wise men and women
— and their number is
growing every day — wait
for Columbia sales, where
they are sure of real
"snaps," and we don't give
a snap it all the rest of
them are foaming at the
mouth to be "first."
If 3'ou received any
presents with the Colum-
bia label that don't fit or
suit, come in and have us
exchange them, if possi-
ble.
If you have overlooked
any. friend or small boy —
there's another chance on

parquet, and in selling standing room,
and then had to begin turning people
away.
And Miss Thurston never appeared to
better advantage han she did last
evening. The big f udience, and the en-
thusiastic reccptlcni seemed to stiiiiu-
late the entire coiTipany and they out-
did themselves.
The new play is not all that could be
desired. It is crude in parts and the
plot is a common place one. In ppite
of its weaknesses, however, a strong
climax is worked up in the third act,
when the old captain attempts to sacri-
fice himsef for his daughters happi-
ness, and to send her away with her
city friends, ihlnk;ng he was tired of
her, in order to sive her from the
knowledge of liis own troubles and dis-
grace. Flotsam, the daughter. dis-
covers his ruse and decides to stand by
her father in his disgrace, remaining
in the old lighthouse "out yonder" dur-
ing the two years '.hat her father is in
jail.
The scene betweei the father and the
daughter is well worked out, with the
possible exception .hat it is a trifle too
long and drags soj.iewliat, but it takes
with the audience and handkerchiefs
were very much in evidence last even-
ing.
The fourth act is a rather weak at-
tempt to gather up the loose ends of
the story and give it a happy ending.
The father is reka-ed from prison, and
the guilty man dies and clears tht old
man of the load on his conscience, al-
lowing the daughters love tangles to
come out In a satififactory manner.
The part is a heavier one tnan any
that Miss Thurston Xins attempted here-
tofore, but she appeared to be fully
equal to it, and Has given a most
enthusiastic recent Ion, receiving some-
thing Ike a dozen curtain calls at the
end of the third act before she finally
made an appropr ate little speech,
thanking her friondi^ in DMluth and
wishing all a happy new year.
Her company is :. cpable one. George

dramatic voice antl manner, wliich he

Disaster Which Affected
Her Mind.
Los Angeles, Cal., Dec. 26.— A story
of remarkable interest Is behind the
aulcide of Mrs. Mary Elsie Balfour, 55
years of age, whose body was yester-
day dragged from the depths of Ea-st
LAke Park lake, where she had thrown
herself Monday night. The woman
lived alone in a shanty, and was seen
to enter the park unaccompanied at
6 o'clock Monday nlghL
In the suicide's handbag on a torn
envelope there was scrowled in an
almost Illegible hand. "M. E. Balfour.
417 Turner street. My will is in the
Uttle trunk on the table. I want to
be cremated."
Following the directions, the will
was found. In it the woman di.sposes
of large amounts of money, which she
gives to relatives and the poor. It
provides that, after all expenses of
cremating her body are defrayed, her
money in the Hlbernia bank of San
Franci.'^co shall be distributed among
the poor of San Francisco, preferably
the fire victims. Funds in the Copen-
hagen bank are willed to the citizens
of Copenhagen and Ne.st Bed, the
latter place being referred to as the
birthplace of the woman. An amount
In the German bank of San Francisco
and all other moneys are willed to the
woman's cousins, Julius and Carl Lo-

She bequeaths considerable jewelry to

indicates that the unfortunate woman
had passed through the San Francisco
disaster and that the ordeal had affect-
ed her mind.

Two Shots Fired in Rapid
Succession From tiie
Darkness.
Rutland, Vt.. Dec. 26.— The offlclalls
of Ira, Vt., have begrun an investiga-
tion of the mysterious shooting of
Mrs. Mary Parker Gllmore, wife of
Charles Gilmore, while she was enter-
taining friends, Monday night, at a
reception following her wedding. The
young bride, hearing voices outside
the house, and thinking that more
guests were arriving, went to the
door. She saw a group of men a
short distance from the doorway,
and spoke to them, but received no
reply. Suddenly, as she stood there,
two shots were fired at her In rapid
succession from the darkness, one
causing a compound frcature of her
arm. Just below the right .shoulder,
while the other struck her sister-in-
law, Mrs. Henrj' Gilmore, in the left
shoulder. The latter's wound is not
severe, but that of the bride Is more
serious.
No effort was made at the time
of the shooting to pursue the assail-
ant, but yesterday the officers, acting
on a statement made by one of the
men who were outside of the house,
were looking for Andrew Farrell, a
young farmer. The weapon used is
said to have been a rifle of large
calibre, carrying heavy, home-made
bullets. The motive for the assault
is unknown. Mrs. Gilmore is 19 years
of age, and her husband 20.

SHIRTWAIST
Was so Pretty That Miss Altmann Mar-
ried the Designer.
New York, Dec. 26.— 'That Is the
prettiest shirtwaist I ever had," said
Miss Bertha Altmann, admiring a
creation which she purchased recently.
The beauties of the shirtwaist
aroused In her a desire to monopolize
the art of the person who designed it.
She ascertained the name of the de-
signer, who is Samuel Tahloff of No.
345 South Third street, Philadelphia,
and wrote him a letter.
Tahloff and Miss Altmann went to
the Aldermanlc Chamber in Jersey
City last Saturday and were married
by Justice Lehane.
"It wag that pretty .«ihlrtwalst that
brought us together," -said the bride.
"Now I can have all the shirtwaists
I want."
Miss Altmann lived at 260 Bower

Power Car.
Washington, Dec. 26. — The sixty-
horsepower touring car of Joseph
Leiter, in which were riding Mr.
Leiter, Mrs. Levi S. Leiter, and Mr.
and Mrs. Franklin Remington of
New York, yesterday ran down and
instantly killed Samuel West, a 14-
year-old negro boy. Mrs. Leiter and
Mrs. Remington were greatly af-
fected by the accident.
Charles H. Raymond, the chauf-
feur, was arrested and the entire
party went to ; the Tenth precinct
police station, where Raymond was
paroled in custody of an officer in
order that Mr. Leit.'r and his ■ party
might be conveyed to the Leiter
residence. '
The accident tiSppened on Colum-
bia Heights near i^ourteenth street
and Columbia Roati. The big ma-
chine was closely' following a street
car, and just before Columbia Road
was reached the boy, who was
riding on the car, jumped off and
was almost immediately struck by
the automobile. The wheels ran
over the boy's head. The machine
was stopped and Joseph Leiter pick-
ed the body up, at the same time
directing that phy.sicians be sum-
moned. Life, howe\'er, was extinct.
Mrs. Leiter at once took steps to
locate the parents of the boy.
After leaving his mother and
guests at the Leiter home, Mr.
Leiter together with his chauffeur
and the officer went directly to the
home of Coroner Nevitt, who, after

LOCKED HIMSELMNVAULT
Victim of Accident Slirieks for Help for
an Hour.
Fort Wayne, Ind., Dec. 26. — Ed-
ward G. Wilson, president of the
board of trustees of the Indiana
school for feeble-minded youth, had
a harrowing experience as a result of
unwittingly locking himself In the
vault in his office. Mr. Wilson had
entered the vault to get some papers,
and, \yhlle thus engaged, the door
swung to and he heard the lock
click behind him, before he realized
that he was a prisoner.
The imprisoned man resorted to
every kind of outcry that he could
invent, but no one was attracted by
it. He was conscious that the sound
of his voice hardly reached the office,
through the thick walLs of the vault,
but he continued his efforts to attract
attention for more than an hour.
After being imprisoned for what
seemed an age, he heard someone
enter the office. He renewed his
cries for help, and as soon as the
sound of his voice could be definitely
located, the door was unlocked and
the imprisoned man was set at
liberty.
MEASUREMENTS
Of Pretty Co-Eds. Found by Boys Adorn
"Dorm" Walls.
Lexington, Ky., Dec. 26. — A miniature
war has broken out at State college
between the male and female istudent
bodies. It is all due to the alleged
purloining of a book of measures form-
erly kept by the physical instructress
at the college, which gave the exact
measurement of every young girl
student at the Institution.
Just how the book fell Into the hands
of any of the male students is a com-
plete mystery, but during the past few
days pages from the book have made
their appearance on the walls of the
boys' dormitory, and every one has
been permitted to see the outlines of
the figures of the various members of
the physical culture class.
The matter will be sifted by the
faculty immediately after the holi-
days.
WORLD IS DYING OUT
According to the Statistics Compiled by
a Paris Doctor.
Paris, Dec. 26.— The statistics just
published by Dr. Mesller on the de-
population of the whole world are
startling.
Dr. Meslier says that this is not only
caused by artificial means, but also
because the whole human race Is
gradually dying out. Taking the
years of 1881 to 1903, he says that for
every thousand married women from
15 to 55 years old, taken from different
countries, the births have decreased in
England 18 per cent, 10 per cent in
Scotland, 10 per cent In Bavaria, 7 per
cent in Italy, 7 per cent in Sweden, 11
per cent in Russia, 17 per cent in
France, 17 per cent in Denmark, 18
per cent In New Zealand, 24 per cent
in Saxony, 25 per cent In the State
of Victoria, and 83 per cent in New
South Walas.

ENGAGED TO WED
LORD KITCHENER
Is Mrs. Chauncey, the
Widow of Brooklyn
Millionaire.
London, Dec. 26. — Society Is much
Interested, but does not confidently be-
lieve as yet the report that Mrs. Sam-
uel Sloan Chauncey is engaged to be
married to Gen. Lord Kitchener.
This is not the first, second or third
time that the beautiful and wealthy
American widow has had her hand
disposed of by the gossips.
In January, 1903. she was reported
engaged to Lord Ro.sebery, and that
report was given with so much cir-
cumstance that Mrs. Chauncey had it
officially denied. In June, 1904, it was
said that Mrs. Chauncey would marry
J. J. Van Alen, and later it was an-
nounced that Arnold Morley. son of
Arthur Morley, the philanthropist and
millionaire merchant of London, was

Mrs. Chauncey was formerly Misa
Alice Carr of LT)uisville. Ky., whero
the Carrs are well known, though they
had never enjoyed great wealth with
their high social position. Shortly af-
ter the death of Mr. Carr. his widow,
with two beautiful daughters, Alic«

met and soon afterward married Sam-
uel Sloan Chauncey, a well-known

ily.
TROUBLE^ER FARE
Led to Street Car Windows Being Broken
With Bricks.
Leavenworth. Kas., Dec. 26.— A full
Investigation Into the reported riot on
a Fort Leavenworth bound street car
Christmas eve. la being conducted by
Capt, Wal.sh, commanding the squad-
ron of the Ninth cavalry (colored).
Capt. Walsh said last night:
"Three men are under arrest. I am
told that there were no shots fired In
the car by the soldiers. The conduc-
tor claimed so, but an old sergeant of
the Eighteenth Infantry says that
bricks broke the windows. There was
an argument over the payment of fare
between a trooper and the conductor
which led to the trouble. There is
no desire on the part of either the
white or the colored soldiers who were
on fhe car to shield their comrades.
They are making statements voluntarU
ly of what they know."

Kill show an Increase of approximately
70 per cent over the year 1905, according
to the figures of the city building in-

While there are still four days remain-

to be any permits of any account issued
between now and the first of the year.
It Is possible that the Y. M. C. A. permit
will be issued before that time, but it will
probably be held over until January.
This would add about $15('.000 to the
total.
Up to the present time the operations
for the month amount to $63,000, and the
remaining four days will probably bring
in about $12,'Xh1 more, making a total of
^75,000 for the month.
Taking this as the figure for December.
the total for the year will be $2,756.:^.4i',

OPPORTUNITIES
FOR YOUNG MEN
Never Greater Than at
the Present Time —
The Reason.
An able editorial in a recent Issue of
the Labor World contained the follow-
ing:
"It 1? Euch a comparatively easy mat-
ter for young men with a common
school education to secure a com-
mercial training- that it Is almost crim-
inal to allow them to go through life |
unequipped In this regard." ;
Not a business man in Duluth will j
deny the truth of ever\- word of this
statement. Hundreds of Duluth young
men owe their success to the founda- ,
lion of a sound business education. ,
When the small outlay necessary for i
such a training, is considered, it seems ■
criminal to deprive young people of
their opportunity of a start In life. A ■
few months spent at our city Busi-
ness University will give them a
•working knowledge of commercial
branches that will prove an Invalu- !
able asset to them all their lives.

NEW YORK LIFE
RILED AGAINST
Andrew Hamilton Wins
on Demurrers to
$574,250 Suit
New York. Dec. 26. — Demurrers in-
terposed by Andrew Hamilton to the
complaint of the New York Life In-
Burance company in its suit to compel
him to account for $574,250 received
and distributed by him on behalf of
the company, were sustained today
by Judge Bischoff in the supreme
court.
Justice Blschoff's decision says there
are six causes of action set forth In
the complaint and the demurrer chal-
lenged the sufficiency of each cause of
action for an accounting and raises the
question of misjoinder, if some of the
other causes of action may be deemed
to proceed for other relief.
The court finds and upholds the de-
murrer of insufficiency as to the first
three causes of action and gives the
Life Insurance company leave to
amend on the payment of costs.

THE GIRL THAT
LOVED HIM
By Helen Frances Huntington.
(Copyright, 1&06, by Joseph B. Bowles, t
"I wish to goodness Mary Ellad show
some spunk, an' not let everybody know
she's pinin' for a fcUer that dont care
no more for her than to throw her over
for the fust pretty face that struck his
fa;icy," said a woman's sharply deprecat-
ing voice from the vine-screened piazza
below Mary Ella's room. "\x riles me
terrible to have her. act so milk-an-
'wuler>-!"'
■•Jim's a real clever feller. I don't
blame a girl for llkln' him," said a
masculine voice, after a pause.
'"Clever enough, but fickle as loam.
Scon be a year that he's been goin' with
Marv Ella, an' now that everybody b
tslkfn" 'bout the match, he's turned
'round an' chose another girl! I dont
call that very honorable."
"That Dale girl is terrible handsome,
said the man, gloomily.
"Well, what if she Is? Good looks
won't keep a house clean an' cook good
dii nerF," sniffed Mrs. Stone. "Besides,
I don't see that Luna Dale is so won-
derful. She's too big an' forward-actin"
to suit my taste.
"1 reckon Jim <lon't see It that way,
answered her hus Dand gravely.
"Jim's a fool not to see that Mary
Ella's worth a dozen Luna Dales.
Mrs. Stone declared. "If I was in her
place, his actions would rile me so that
I'd show him that I didn't care."
Didn't care: Mary Ella lying In the
Icr.ely dark of her room smiled miserably
as she thought hew little her mother un-
derstood. Whv, fhe cared so much that
lU'e without Jim would be altogether
flavorless and void of desire! For two
ytars her heart had enshrined him ab-
solutely. ,^ ^^
"S'pose we send her over to brother
Jasper's folks?" suggested the big bass
voice, with a hopeful intonation. "They
are always askln* her to visit 'em."
"Thai'd look lliice runnin' away." the
mother objected. "The right thing would
be to brace up ar' be seen in other com-
pany. If anything could bring Jim Don-
nely to his senses It would be that."
The girl lying In the dark turned her
face to the wall and cried softly.
Presently her bitter reverie was broken
by the sound of \\ horse's hoofs striking
the little bridge below the garden; then
her father's big, hearty voice smote the
silence loudly.
"Good-fcvenin"' It said, cordially. "Ain't
that you, Bob Saunders? How are you'.'
Come in. How's all your folks?"
"All very well, thank you, Mr. Stone,"
answered a bright young voice which the
listening girl recognized at once. "Is
Miss Mary Ella at home?"
"Yes; she's up-stairs lyin' down. I
reckon she got tired out trampln' in the
woods with the Briscom children. Ill call
her."
When Mary Ella entered the neat,
piush-furnl.«!hed parlor almost halt an
hour later her face bore no trace of her
secret.
"I came over to see If you'd go to the
Silver Shoal picnic with me," began the
young fellow, plunging heroically into the
object of his call. '•There's going to be
a right good crowd of us. Yv'e aim to
drive out early, so's to keep in the cool,
and take dinner on the Shoals. There'll
be about twenty couples."
The girl answered before her weak re-
solve could fail her. "Yes," she said,
■•I'd like very well to go."
To Mary Ella the picnic was a day of
supreme torture. Her mothers parting
admonition. •'Now do .spunk up, an'
don't let Jim notice anything." goaded
her to make the fight of her life.
She was a pretty girl of the flower-like
type, with a wild -rose eomplexlon, palo
brown fluffy hair, and sweet, serious blue
eyes that reflected her various emotions
as clearly as a limpid lake mirrors the
sky above It. By nature and Instinct she
was quiet and modefetly reserved but on
that day of days she achieved an un-
natural sparkling gaiety that reached it's
height when she look her pla^e at the
picnic-spread opposite Jim Donnely and
the handsome girl whose dress and bear-
ing and manner nad made such a strik-
ing impression on Rockville folk. Miss
Dale was a summer visitor, a friend of
the pretty school teacher. She was an
athletic, fearless, up-to-date girl who
took all things by storm. She was built
on ample modem lines— broad-chested.
I straight-backed, strong-shouldered, with
well-set head and a boyish freedom of
I gait and carriage which attracted atten-
tion. , ,
"I am going away next week for a
month's merry-making." said Man.' Ella
in answer to Jim's casual question.

derful how a little fun braces one up I"
■■Y'es," Mary Ella went on, gaily,
"that's just what Uncle Jasper's folks
think. There is always lots going on
down there."
"Mr. Donnely, your horse isn't too tired
to take us over to the old mill, is it"
Miss Dale chirped in, airily, "I have
heard so much about the picturesque
old place that I'm dying to see it."
Jim, gallantly eager to please her. as-
sented at once, but cautious Bob Saun-
ders pointed to the darkening clouds In
the southwest.
••Better take the new road, where you
can find shelter if it should rain." he
advised.
Mary Ella's wonderful spirits gave
out mysteriou.sly all at once. She begged
Bob to take her home early in the after-
noon on account of a headache.
It rained steaduy for three days after
the picnic. Mary Ella put off her long
country ride, on account of the muddy
roads, but preparations for her visit
went on uninterruptedly. On the after-
noon of the fourth day Mr. Stone brought
startling news.
"Jim Donnely took sick night before
last." he said, "an" this mornln' he was
in a high fever, so M;9s Briscom sent
for Dr. Elwell. He says it's the small-
DOX ' *
■Smallpox! Land o' love! " Mrs. Stone
ejaculated. "Where on earth did he
ketch it?"
•It come out that he'd been over to
the old Torton mill Saturday, him an'
the Dale girl, an' when the storm come
up they took shelter in that little cabin
where them niggers lived that uster
tend the mill. You know the old man
died o' smallpox. They've put Jim in
the little shack on tother side o' the
creek from Briscom's, where he'll stay
till they can have him took to the
Plalnville hospital. Mis' Briscom's ter-
rible fraid he's give it to some o' them
already."
Mary Ella had listened with wildly
beating heart. "Who's going to take
care of him?" she asked, huskily.
•Dr. Elwell. Hell be quarantined
till he can te sent to the pesthouse."
"To the pesthouse!" gasped the girl.
"To the pesthouse! Alone, without r\
living soul to know or care whether
he lives or dies?"
■'It's hard." her father agreed. "But
no one in Rockville's had the smallpox,
an' it woul(in't do to risk leavin' him
in that shack plum alone, 'cause the
doctor says he's a powerful sick man."
••Land sake.q. I'm glad you're goin'
off, Mary Eila," said her careful
mother. "You always did ketch every-
thing that went 'round."
Mary Ella finished her packing me-
chanically, with her anxious mother
hovering constantly near, for that
worthy lady was secretly uneasy. She
urged her daughter to leave the last
trayful to her. "•You run over an' bid
Rose Saunders good-by, like you prom-
ised," she advised, '•an* bring her home
to stay all night with you."
Mary Ella obeyed submissively.
When she reached the fork of the road
a sudden shower prompted her to take
temporary refuge in the schoolhouse.
The young teacher sat In her accus-
tomed place on the platform talking
earnestly with Luna Dale, but the
scholars had gone.
"Isn't It terrible about Mr. Donnelly!"
said the teacher, in an awed voice.
as she drew up a chair for Mary Ella.
"And to think that I was in the same
danger!" Miss Dale exclaimed, with a
shiver of fear.
'bfou surely are not going to let Jim
be taken to the pesthouse?" Mary Ella
broke out, sluirpiy.
"Me! What tun I do?" asked the
other girl, in blunt amazement.
"You can nurse him through the
fever."
"Are you crazy?" .asked Miss Dale,
"or do you think I am?"
"Don'i you love him?' Mary Ella de-
manded, sternly.
"Love him.' Do you suppose any
sane girl would run the risk of beings
disfigured for life, even if she did love
a man?"
"Yes; a woman that truly loves a
man wouldn't think of anything but
his safety. "
"Well, 1 don't mind telling you that
I'm not that sort of woman," said
Luna Dale. "I like Jim Donnelly well
enough to do a lot for him, but when it
comes to risking my own life and good
looks I draw the line."
Mary Ella did not wait for the shower
to pass. She set out brjskly toward the
forest path leading to the Briscom farm.
She crossed the footlog spanning the
rushing, roaring creek that divided the
orchard from the pasture bottoms, with
its little log shack now topped with the
yellow flag of danger, to warn straggling
wayfarers of the lurking death within.
The girl crossed the threshold and en-
tered the sick room before either of ita
inmates saw her. Then Dr. Elwell turned
with wrath in his eyes.
••What on earth do you mean, Mary
Ella Stone?" he cried, in stern astonish-
ment. ••Don't you know Jim's got the
I smallpox?"
i Mary Ella went straight to the bed-
side, and laid one t<ool hand on the sick
man's beating wrist. "You're not going
to the pesthouse, Jim," she said, quietly.
, ••I'm going to take (^re of you here."
I Jim's burning glairce searched her face
i In mule unbelief, for her presence ap-
' peared for the instant to be a part of
. the dark Illusion which was slowly and
: inevitably rloslng about him.
I ••You're going right straight homs as
fast as you can go'" cried the scandal-
ized doctor. "'Don't you know that you're
in danger of infecting the whole neigh-
borhood?"
I "Yes, Mar>' EUe, think of the danger!"
I echoed Jim. huskily.
j "And don't you see that it's impossible
for you to stay here?" objected Dr. El-
well. angrily.
I ••Do you think I'd let Jim go off to die
among Btrang<rs for the sake of what
people will think?"
"Lord!" cried Jim. brokenly. "Mary
Ella, if I was well, and should beg yoti
to forgive me for— for everything would
you— would you marry me? "
The girl's lips quivered for an instant.
"I'll do that now," she answered, simply.
: "But, Jim, I don't want you to sacrifice
I anything for the .sake of my feehng.s."
i Two hours later Dr. Elwell stopped at
i the Stone farm on his way home in a
rather dubious but triumphant frame of
mind.
■■How's Jim?" Mrs. Stone asked, eager-
ly. "Is he took off yet."
"No, and he isn't going to be," the doc-
tor answered, stroking his beard musing-
ly. "The fact is, a most unexpected
thing happened. The girl— the one that
loves him, you know— stepped right In and
objected. I don't know that any one had
a better right. And what's more, she
sent for Brother Radcllff, and he stood
in the doorway and married her and Jim,
with Lige Briscom witnessing right out
in the pouring rain. The girl's going to
nurse Jim out of that fever in no time.
What do you think of that?"
"I think the girl loves him all right
enough, " said Farmer Stone. "An' bgosh.
I like her spunk!"
"So do I," approved the doctor. "It
was your Mary Ella."
SHEA TRIAL CONTINUED.
Chicago, Dec. 26.— Continued argu-
ments between counsel relative to
proper testimony consumed the great-
er part of the early session in the
i Shea trial today. The attorneys for
I the defen.se sought to Introduce evi-
I dence relative to the trouble between
Montgomery Ward & Co., and the
Garment Workers which antedated the
strike of the teamsters. The state
strenuously opposed the admission of
the evidence.

RAILROADS AND PUBLIC.
A traveling man, describing conditions in the North-
west created by the lack of fuel, paints a dismal picture
of farmhouses with smokeless chimneys, and of a fuel
scarcity that would mean great loss of property and
lives if there should happen to be a blizard, which may
easily occur at any time.
Further, he says that in case of serious results as to
property loss, or loss of life, he believes that the people
would endeavor to fasten the blame on the railroads and
to force them to meet heavy damages.
Why not?
There can be no question that it is the railroads that
are at fault. There is no way of getting coal into the
Northwest except over the railroads, and there is nobody
else to cast the blame upon. It is true that the railroad
officials seek to find a location elsewhere for the respon-
sibility, but so far they have not had abundant success
In this.
Perhaps it will be well if occasion rises to fix, in some
definite way for all time to come, the extent of a rail-
road's responsibility to the region to which it supplies
its services. When that railroad is the only means the
people of that section have for getting in the necessaries
of life like coal, and when the railroad purports to be
providing this service, why is it not responsible in dam-
ages if it fails to -provide the service? Why, indeed, if it
persists in failure to serve the country dependent upon it,
should its charter not be forfeited, and its business
turned over to other hands that will agree to give the
service needed?
The chief excuse for the trouble appears to be that
the railroads have had so much else to do that they have
not been able to get coal in when it was needed. That
raises the question whether a railroad has a right to
assume so much business of other kinds that it is unable
to provide its territory with fuel; whether it should not
be bound to protect the life and comfort and safety of
its patrons first, before seeking to make heavy dividends.
The people were not made to serve the railroads, but
the railroads were made to serve the people; for that and
for nothing else. Those arrogant individuals who have
conceived the idea that the railroads were made to fatten
the purses of stockholders, and that the people cut no
figure except incidentally as a source of revenue, must
learn their lesson over again.
There is certainly something sadlly wrong when, in
the endeavor to follow out somebody's theory that the
"cost per ton per mile" of carrying freight should not
exceed a certain decimal, trains are delayed, traffic is
interrupted, business is paralyzed and stagnated, and
whole states suffer for want of fuel.
and Virginia, have dissolved, Koen to take the Virginia
Star and Dowling to take the Evclcth Star. _
A GOOD SCHEME.
Everett Colby, the wealthy young man who revolted
from the rule of the corporations in New Jersey and
tried to drag the Repuublican party out with him, has
failed in his efforts so far, his party having persisted, up
to date, in its servitude to the trusts. But he has not
quit his efforts, and the reform forces are slowly grow-
ing. In the recent election they were strong enough
to make doubtful the re-election of Senator Dryden.
and as they are not discouraged by their defeats it is
unquestionable that in time they will find their work
crowned with success.
Senator Colby, who succeeded in being re-elected
himself, has lately announced a legislative plan that
is giving the corporations some disturbance.' The chief
item in his program will hit the corporation lawyers
who have long had a finger in the framing of most of
the laws passed by the New Jersey legislature. The
scheme is modelled upon a system introduced in Wis-
consin, and it provides for a legislative reference depart-
ment supported by the state. It collects laws from all
the states, statistics, and all the miscellaneous informa-
tion likely to have a bearing on any legislation that may
be proposed. For instance, if a member of the legisla-
ture wished to frame a bill providing a new system
of taxation of railroads, he would go to the reference
department, where he would find copies of all the rail-
road taxation laws of the country, together with com-
plete information about how they work and the taxes
they yield. He would also have this department draw
up his bill for him, and he would rely upon it for any
further information he might need in pushing his meas-
ure before the legislature.
This plan has worked admirably in Wisconsin, and
the corporation attorneys who used to kindly draw up
bills for the members, and who saw to it that they did
not bear upon their employers too harshly, and that if
they did they contained carefully concealed loopholes
through which the corporation could squirm out, are not
now asked for any assistance. The state pays a good
man a good salary for doing just this work, and the
Wisconsin legislative reference department is one of
the most interesting and valuable adjuncts of the state
government.
Senator Colby thinks that this scheme would choke
off the bills offered by corporation attorneys, as well
as a vast mass of the crude and undigested legislation
that encumbers every stature book in the country. Laws
often pass the Minnesota legislature, for instance, that
are clumsily worded, and that will not stand the test of
the courts for a moment.
The scheme is a good one, and the Minnesota legisla-
ture will find it worth while to consider it for adoption
here. Few members of the legislature are capable of
drawing a sound bill, and they must depend upon law-
yer members or upon the outside lawyers who throng
the legislative halls seeking to be of service to their
employers, the corporations. If the legislature paid
somebody to do this work, it would be a vast improve-
ment upon the old methods.
HOTEL OOSSIP.
"I do not know wietkpr spearing tlsh
through Ice. and cat«hi||| tticm by hook
and line at this season of the year is un-
lawful or not, but I know ttiat the sport
is being Indulged In quite a lot in several
of Northern Minesota'^laliea," said S.
R. Moran of Bemldjli W^" ' ^^ **^® ^^'
Kay. "A good many pslTard being taken
in this manner, and I have seen some
pretty big ones landed with a spear.
"The uyual method is to build a little
sh&nly on the Ice, over a hole that has
been cut through. Often 'his shack Is
nothing more than a blanke!; thrown over
a pole, or a small tent. This covering
places the man with a spear In compar-
ative darkness, and he is al)le to see tor
a depth of several feet Inio tho water,
thus allowing the best use of a spear.
"Some men trust to their luck alone
In seeing something to spear, while
others dangle a minnow, eli;her imitation
or genuine, at the end of a line, and
when the tlsh makes a strike at it the
spear Is brought into play. Often a
piece of pork, or some coloied cloth, will
answer the purpose just as well, for all
that is necessary is to get t!ie Hsh within
a foot or two of the end of the line.
Pickeral and pike are mostly caught this
way. Other classes of fish are pretty
safe from the speara.
"Another method that Isn't followed
out so much as when I waj a boy, is to
set lines through holes in the ice. One
man may have a dozen of fifteen holes
to look after, or maybe even more. The
popular system is to have the line at-
tached to the end of a stick that lias a
piece of rag at the other end, so that
every time there is a bite the hag wiU
be hoisted in the air and be waved franti-
cally about. This is great fun for boys,
for It is exciting sport when the fish are
biting good, and two or three flags are
being jerked about at the fiame time.
"There are some lakes through the
northern part of the state, lar away from
the railroads, that arc regular paradises
for the fishermen. They are so hard to
get at that some of them have never
been fished at all, and havi never had a
boat on their surface, except for the In-
dian in his canoe. There are so many
lakes near at hand where the fish are to
be had in plenty, that the city sportsmen
have not found it necessary as yet to go
far into the Interior."
THE WEATHER..
Well, the weather man gave Duluth a
glorious Christmas, so it was not his
fault if there were flaws in it anywhere.
Today would have made a pretty fair
Christmas day, too, though it was
cloudier and the air was a trifle damper, i
The temperature was mild and agreeable,
howverer, and the clouds were thin and
the damp only what might be expected
by way of reaction after a period of
fine, crisp winter weather. Last night's
lowest was '•iii degs. and yesterday's high-
est was 2<> degs. The weather man ex-
pects snow and colder weather tonight
and tomorrow. Tonight's lowest temper-
ature will be about 16 degs. above, as
against 22 last nighL
The sun set at 4:24 this afternoon, and
rises at 7:54 tomorrow morning.
A year ago today the weather was
clear, brilliant and agree able.
Says Mr. Richardson of weather condi-
tions: "Barometric pressures continue!

THE TRAITOR STATES.
In the midst of the talk about centralization of gov-
ernmental power, along conies Judge R. M. Benjamin
of Bloomington, 111., with a project for turning the con-
trol of corporations, to a degree at least, over to the
federal government.
He makes a pretty plausible argument for it, too.
Summed up, it seems to amount to this: The fore-
fathers, to whom centralization of government would
doubtless have been abhorrent, never realized the extent
to which centralization of business and commerce was
going to come about. The scheme they devolved is im-
potent in the face of vast, centralized monopolies that
defy the central government because it has no power
orer them, and that buy the governments of enough
•tates to give them being and encouragement whereby
they may rob the people of all the states.
At least two states, New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
keep open house for such vast organizations. If they
were driven out of these states they would doubtless
find refuge in others. Even if forty-four states drive
them beyond their borders, one state with a hospitable
mind toward trusts can nullify all the forty-four may do.
Therefore, congress should be given power to con- I ig^ving them out of the count. Now Sunday mails are
heavy, but they are still omitted.
Thus the mails will be weighed for ten days, includ
BUSY VICTOR MURDOCH.
Our respects to Victor Murdock. Victor Murdock
is a member of congress, and he hails from Kansas. He
is not a very old member, but he has shown himself
possessed of the uncommon idea that he was sent to
congress to look out for the interests of the people, and
that if great corporations happen to stand in his way
when he is seeking that interest, why, so much the worse
for the corporations.
Incidentally, Mr. Murdock is redheaded, which may
or may not have something to do with the determined
and persistent manner in which he has pushed his way
to the bottom of a certain matter which he deemed it
worth while to take up. At any rate, he is said to have
a head of hair that illuminates the gloomy halfs of con-
gress, and that is a beacon light wherever he goes. '
The "certain matter" that he has taken up and made
his business to probe to the bottom is the way the gov-
ernment pays the railroads for carrying the mails. If
he took it up with any idea that he would find that the
great and powerful government was imposing on the
weak and defenseless railroads, he was disappointed.
In fact, he found it very much the other way, and he
must have gained great respect for the wit of the rail-
road people who were able to come it over a govern-
ment that .will pursue to the uttermost ends of the earth
a culprit who will impose upon it by trying to use a
cancelled postage stamp a second time.
For instance, not only did he find that the rate of
pay is extraordinarily high, high enough to account for a
good deal of the annual deficit in the postofificc depart-
ment, but he found that the system of weighing the mails
triennially to fix the rate of pay is a farce. Just one
detail may be mentioned. Sundays are excluded from
count in the number of days of a weighing period.
When this practice began, thirty-three years ago, there
were no Sunday mails, and there was some excuse for
rol them, and Judge Banjamin proposes either one of
two amendments to the federal constitution. First:
"The congress shall have power to limit and regulate
industrial corporations throughout the United States."
Second: "The congress shall have power to prevent and
suppress monopolies throughout the United States by
appropriate legislation." The first is preferable, be-
cause it is broader and simpler; the second is more prob-
able because it simplly applies to monopolies.
Commerce, in the days of the organization of this
government, was confined to narrow limits; since then
It has expanded so that single corporations do business
throughout the United States, or even do practically
the entire business of the country in their individual
lines. The states have ample power to govern the crea-
tion of these corporations, but while some states set
their faces determinedly against monopoly, others in-
vite it to enter and make itself at home. The New Jer-
sey corporation is an abomination and a menace to the
entire nation. One might incorporate a highwayman's
trust in New Jersey, if one had the nerve to do it and
the money to pay the incorporation fees.
So long as New Jersey, or any other state, will
create corporations to prey upon the people of its sister
States, just so long will predatory corporations thrive.
If there was no state to give them birth; if they had to
reckon with the central government, they could not per-
sist a moment.
New Jersey will give the same rights to a dishonest
corporation as other states will to an honest corpora-
tion, and so long as the power is left wholly with the
states, there will be some state shameful enough and
venal enough to take advantage of its sister states to
gain revenue for itself by betraying them.
The suggestion is worth thinking upon.
ing Sunday, and in striking the daily average the total
weight is counted, but Sunday is left out of the number
of days, and the total weight for ten days is divided by
nine. The result is supposed to be the daily average, for
which the railroads are paid. This results in padding
the accounts, which must be pleasant for the railroads.
For instance, the last weighing on the New York
Central between New York and Buffalo covered an
actual period of ninety days, including Sundays. Bu^
instead of dividing the total by ninety, they cut out the
Sundays and divided it by seventy-eight, so that the
daily average was figured at 411,000 pounds, when it
should have been 365,000 pounds. This makes an annual
steal of about $250,000 on this one mail route alone.
More power to Victor Murdock of Kansas. Perhaps
if he keeps it up he may convince the postofifice depart-
ment that the deficit is due to something besides the
rate on second-class mail matter.

The first speaker laughed cynically,
as if the suggestion were wildly Im-
possible. Yet it should not be so. The
quality In these strong men which made
them a force in the city was not riches
nor scholastic training. It was simply
the practice of giving a large part of

man to do— devoted a part of every day
consciously and directly to logical
planning for the benefit of their fel-

Such practical suggestions as occur-

Odd Form of Gambling.
Tuesday Magazine: Driven to des-
peration by their heavy losses, gam-
blers have often sought by some coup
either to repair their shattered for-
tunes or to bring down utter ruin upon
themselves. One of the most curious
Instances of this kind comes from Eng-
land of the eighteenth century. A no-
torious gambler had been losing stead-
ily in a game for high stakes with Lord
Lome. Exasperated by his continued
111 fortune, he suddenly sprang up from
the card table, seized a large and costly
punch bowl, and, balancing It above
his head, called out to his opponent:
"For once I'll have a bet where I
hfive an equal chance of winning! Odd
or even, for fifteen thousand guineas!"
"Odd!" replied the peer placidly, and
the gtimbler hurled the magnificent
bowl against tho wall.
When they counted the pieces Lord
Lome had won.
A Pertinent Suggestion.
Casa Lake Times: If the state is
really in earnest in its desire to settle
the northern counties, the coming leg-
islature should be asked to have a con-
stitutional amendment submitted at the
next election providing that all state
lands shall be devoted to homestead
entry only at a price not higher than
surrounding government lands are sold.
These have cost the state comparative-
ly nothing, and to Induce settlement
and Increase taxation, and provide for
the building of roads and drainage,
tho lands should be sold at the lowest
possible price to those who will go
upon them and make homes and ade-
quate Improvements. No surer way to
drive intending settlers from the state
could be devised than to first rob the
land of all Its timber and then hold It
at an exhorbltant price expecting the
sons of toll will grab It as fast as of-
fered. We call the attention of our
legislators-elect to this matter and have
hopes that they may at least make an
effort to do something.

And then they put It back again.
Which was no more than right.
Then along came the gas company^
Who thought the time was ripe
To again dig up the pavement
And lay a larger pipe. .„^,^
They, of course, replaced it nicely^
Then it was raised for city sewer.
And when they got It back again
The ridges were no fewer.
Now the pavement's full of furrow^
There are patches everywhere;
You'd like to ride upon It,
But It's seldom that you dare.
It's a very handsome pavement;
A credit to the town;
They're always diggin' of it up
Or puttin' of it down. r^„^„„

ductlon, so that the total average reduc-
tion on wheat averages about 25 per
cent, on flax and coarse grains nearly 35
r>_r cent, and on coal 33 to 37 per cent.
The roads have until Jan. 25. when the
order takes effect, to make up their
minds whether they will accept the new
schedule without a murmur, or bring a
contest in the courts and tie things up
for a while.
The grain, lumber and coal rates .ire of
the greatest interest to the big shippers
of Duluth. The general average reduc-
tion in lumber is 1S.2 per cent. The fol-
lowing table gives an interesting com-
parison between the existing coal rate
from Duluth to points named, and the
maximum rate will result from the com-
mission's order:

! o'clock this morning.
I Expecting all the time that the track
I would be reported clear, it was not con-
I sidered necessary to send the train back
1 to the Twin Cities to come to Duluth
. over the Great Northern. Had it been
j known for a certainty just how long the
delay would be, it is said this would have
I been done last night. The train was held
at Rush City during the night and early
morning.
The freight train was supposed to be
on a side track, but had failed to get en-
tirely into clear when hit by the passen-
ger engine.
Duluth shippers and others Interested
in railroad rates are generally of the
opinion that the new commodity freight
r»t« schedule, ordered by the state rail-
road oommlsBlon. and which provides for
a •ubstantlal reduction in rates on grain,
ooal, lumber and livestock, will be of
material benefit to the business interests
of Duluth. A big saving will also result
to th« consumer* all through the territory
affected.
Local grain men are ^eU satisfied with
the •chodul*. »o far aa the rates on grain
to th« West are concerned, although all
partlcularB In regard to th« matter have
not been obtained as yet. The general
average reduction on wheat rates will be

Struck Rear End of Freight Train Near
Hinckley, Minn.
The Lake Superior limited passenger
train, running over the Northern Pacific
between St. Paul and Duluth, and due
here last evening at 7:10 o'clock, ran into
the rear end of an extra freight train
Just below Hinckley yesterday afternoon.
; and demolished five freight oars, besides
I badly smashing up its own engine. Two
of the train crew were reported Injured,
but local officials of the road claim no
one was hmrt.
The limited was taken back to St, Paul
' and brought to Duluth over the Great
Northern, arriving here at 10:48 p. m. The
St, Paul train due here at 6:30 a, m. was
delayed even longer, owing to a mlscalcu-
; lation en the part of the wrecking crew,
and did not reach Duluth until noon to-
day, making scores of Duluthians re-
turning from a holiday trip half a day
late in reporting for work at their re-
jopeotive places of business.
The train due here this morning did not
! leave St. Paul until 11:10 o'clock last
I night, and it la understood the officials
of^tbe road were of tne opinion that the
wreckage would be cleared away In time
for the train to get through with little
; delay. It is said to have taken longer
than exoaotad to cdear the track, how-
ever, and U was neoessary for the morn-
ing train u) rsmaln on the other slda of

Surveyors Running Line for New Great
Norttiern Ore Road.
Surveyors are now at work on the
Great Northern ore road cut off, whlc-h
The Herald a few weeks ago said would
be constructed. The line will shorten
the hauling ditance to Duluth by a good
many miles. The present road runs from
Kelly Lake east through Hlbbing, thence
almost right at right angles to the south,
making a long detour from Kelly Lake
through Hibbing to Zlm.
It is proposed to run the new line di-
rectly from Kelly Lake southeast to Zim,
which will shorten the haul on ore at
least twenty-five miles. In case the cut-
off is found to be feasible, a large force
of men will at once be put to work build-
ing the new line with the idea of having
the road ready for ore traffic when the
season opens in the spring.

The Lake avenue district i» the one
that promises the most trouble, and
the saloonkeepers Ir that locality are

One of them was flndd a few days ago
for keeping open after hours, and
this morning two more were brought
Into court. They were Alexander
Plfer and Malcolm Maclntyre, both of
whom run saloons on Lake avenue be-
tween Michigan strtiet and the canal.
They were arraigned In court this
afternoon, and both entered a plea
of guilty to the charge of keeping

poaed a flna of $30 and costs in each
case.
This makes a total of three arrests,

MANY FAT
SWINDLERS
They Are Alleged to Out-
number Their Lean
Brothers.
Lieut. Biise, German
Novelist Expelled From
Army, Missing.
London, Dec. 26. — "Let me have men
about me that ar© fat," Shakespeare
makes Caesar say to Mark Anthony
when confiding to him his mistrust of
the "lean and hungry " Cassius. But,
according to a Parisian writer, It is
the fat people who should be regarded
with most suspicion. He has written
a book to prove that an abundance of
adipose tissue. In man or woman, far
from indicating a frank, honest,
generous disposition often serves as a
mask for rescality and cunning. He
cites numerous examples from con-
temporaneous French criminal annals
to support his contention that the most
euccessful swindlers are generally fat
people and that their victims among
the lean are legion. Mme. Guerin Ces-
bron, the heroine of the fradulent mat-
rimonial agency which has furnished
the latest Parisian sensation, Is a ro-
tund as a beer barrel. Mme. Therese
Humbert, whose phantom millions long
enabled her to travel In the most costly
luxuries, Is another of his examples of
embonpoint combined with dishonesty.
Boulaine, the banker who was gifted
with such rare talents for transferring
money from other people's pockets into
his own. was a man of aldermanic
proportions.
According to the French author, not
only are fat folks more likely to be
dishonest than thin ones, but their
obt-sitj' renders It eaiser for theni to
perpetrate frauds. This, he says, is be-
cause of the mistaken notion that ro-
tundity of figure is an indication that
its possessor has a clear conscience;
whereas in most cases, it is the re-
sult of dealing dishonestly with one's
fitomach. On the other hand, the lean
person, he contends, is naturally le^s
disposed to be dishonest, and because of
the suspicion which his slim figure
arouses finds it harder to carry out
financial swindles on a large scale. Af-
ter this exposure, embonpoint will
cease to Inspire confidence in Paris.
The next fradulent female, to succeed,
will have to be as thin as Sarah
Bernhardt.
Sad news comes concerning Lieut.
Bilse, the author of "In a Small Gar-
rison ToAVTi." It is only a few years
since this young German ofBcer
Btartkd the world with his book and
Its truly wonderful revelations. It will
be remembered that because of its
publication he had to leave his regi-
ment and the army. He retired with
his family to a suborb of Berlin, Zeh-
rendorf, and tried to make a living
writing other novels. But he was a
failure. Now word comes that he has j
disappeared, leaving his family to the I
tender mercies of the world. His was
a "moonlight flitting," and the police,
egged on by a swarm of creditors, are
seeking him. It is rumored that he has
gone to the United States with a com-
panion who is said to be a very
charming woman, but not his wife.
Judging both .by past and present
history, a sure way of securing an
abnormal success for a book is to have
It refused by about every publisher in
tov.n. That has been the experience
In the past, according to their own
Btory, of mitny of the authors of great
literarj- successes. It is the story now
of James Baker, author of "The In-
separables," for he tells me that twen-
ty-one publishers in London read the
manuscript and returned it to him with
the briefest possible notes of refusal.
Yet the novel has just passed Its third
edition and is about to go into a
fourth.
Many valuables are to be offered at
the almost continuous auction sales
held this month at Sothebay's, but one
of the most interesting things will be
Keats' will. It is written on a scrap
of paper and wa.s sent by the poet to
his publisher, John Taylor, on Aug.
14, 1820. The document reads as fol-
lows:
"My Chest of Books divide among
my friends. In case of my death, this
scrap of Paper may be serviceable in
your posse.ssion. All my estate, real
and personal, consists in the hopes of
the sale of books publish'd and un-
publish'd. Now I wl.sh Brown and you
to be the first paid Creditors — the rest
is in nubibus, but in case it should
shower, pay my Taylor the few pounds
I owe him."
Lord Lytton, Lord Crews, James
Bryce, Prof. Knight and some dozen
other distinguished men, at a recent
meeting at the house of lords, formed
an association for the purpose of pur-
chasing Coleridge's cottage for the na-
tion. The cottage is at Nether
Stowey, in Somersetshire, in the fa-
mous Quantock district. While Cole-
ridge was only the tenant of this cot-
tage for a few years. It is the only one
of his residences which can now be
secured for a memorial purpose. It
was here also that he composed and
wrote all his finest poetry.
When the Louvre was partly burned
in 1871 many precious manuscripts
were utterly destroyed. Among these
was Guillaume Coletel's work "Lives
of the French Poets." This covered
the period from 1209 to 1647. Every
historian deplored the loss of this
priceless collection. The well-known
biographer. Ad. van Bever, believed
that m.any critics and editors must
have copied some portions of the
work in ther time. So he patiently
searched for transcripts. After years
of untiring labor he has had wonder-
ful succe.ss, and has discovered copies
of 212 of the 442 biographies. Some
are 100 or more years old. They are
about to be published at Paris in five
octavo volumes.
This is an iconoclastic age of a
truth. One mtist not believe what one
hears and only half of what one sees.
Henri Houssaye has Just destroyed the
tradition of Napoleon's old guard at
Waterloo — Cambronne-s answer to
the English summons to surrender —
"The old guard dies, but never surren-
ders." Wellington's historic phrase,
"Up, guards, and at 'em," of course,
has been shattered, and so have
a bushel or so of other equally
historic phrases. Houssaye says that
great men at great moments
have too much to do and
think of to be sentence-making for
posterity. He is continuing his work
of shattering and will soon be tackling

When He Heard Auditor Wright Received
$H3.000This Year.
Columbup. Ohio, Dec. 26. — When
Governor Harris picked up his paper
and found that County Auditor
Robert' C. Wright of Cleveland was
receiving an annual compensation
of over $113,000, he whistled a
sharp note of surprise. When he
came from his hotel to the capitol
he got out his lead pencil and the
state auditor's report and did some
silent figuring.
"I have discovered that the fortu-
nate Mr. Wright is receiving as
much pay as all of the elective
and appointive state officers com-
bined, within $135." was his con-
clusion. "That takes in everybody,
including the members of the su-
preme court."
This pertinent illustration of the
governor's was the cause of much
comment, more especially because
his calculation is entirely correct.

venture, if nothing else. This was
before the rush to the Klondike
started.
In 1895, Mr. Myers bid good-bye
to his relatives in this country,
and set sail for Africa. Africa
and her inhabitants interested him
mightily, but at the end of three
years the surroundings, once new
and interesting, grew rather dis-
tasteful, and, despite the fact that
his luck at contract mining had been
good, and that he was making
money, the man started for Alaska,
with many others, when the news
came of the big gold strikes that
were being made in the northern
country. His practical experience
stood him in good stead there.
"I struck Daw.son in 18 98," said
Mr. Myer.s, speaking rather reluct-
antly of his experiences, yesterday.
"The place was a typical mining
camp, and there was plenty to
keep a person's attention aroused. I
was one of the few who had fair
luck from the start, and my opera-
tions in the vicinity of Dawson
netted me good returns, for I was
so fortunate %s to get hold of a
paying claim.
"The richest pan of gold I ever
washed out was here. It contained
$422 worth of gold. Three pans
netted me more than $1,100. I sold
my claim at a nice profit, and went
to Nome, later proceeding to the
Falrhaven district, 300 miles to the
north, where my placer claim is lo-
cated, nearx Candle City, on Candle
creek.
"I was in on the ground floor at
Candle creek, and was among the
first to stake out a claim there in
1901. The news of rich strikes
brought people flocking to the coun-
try, and .several good mines were lo-
cated. My own has been developed
to a greater degree than any of
the others. I have the work of
developing some of the others, and
have an interest in some of them.
My mine has been operated for
three years now, and has yielded
excellent returns. The flr.st year
we did little more than prospect and
g-et .started, but since then actual
mining operations have been carried
on both winter and summer.
"The spring clean up this vear
yielded about $250,000, and the re-
sults of the summer's work are al-
most as good. The winter ex-
penses were in the neighborhood of
$20,000, and the summer expenses
came to about $16,000. I employed
from seven to twelve men, paying
at the rate of $5 a day and board
for common labor. I had a steam
hoist working, and was able to get
coal at $6 a ton, from a mine
located only a mile and one-half
from my property.
"Because of the frozen ground,
the gravel and dirt cannot be
sluiced in the winter time, so the
pay streaks are drifted out and the
gravel is hoLsted to the surface of
the ground and dumped in piles,
where it remains until it is thawed
in the spring, when it Is sluiced,
which operation brings out the gold.
This, at least, is the method car-
ried on on my particular piece of
property. There are, of course, sev-
eral other methods of mining, de-
pending largely upon the nature of
the ground worked. In the sum-
mer the gravel can be worked as
fast as it is hoisted to the ground
and dumped into hoppers, for it is
not frozen then. The spring clean-
up generally occurs in June.
"I am now having a ditch built to
carry water from the head of the
Kugruk river along the left limit for
a distance of thirty-five- miles, which
will cost $400,000. The water will be
used practically the whole distance by
mine owners, who will pay me a good
rental, making the ditch a paying pro>
position outside of the fact that the
water will be used on my own prop-
erty. Water is the keynote of the
whole situation in placer mining, and
without it no mining can be done.
"I have a mine in the Kluana dis-
trict that promises well. I think it
will be as good a one as the property
on the Candle. I am sending in a
hydraulic plant to work the Kluana
property. The Kluana district is in
Yukon territory. The hydraulic plant
has to be transported a distance of 200
miles from the end of the railroad,
and the freight on it for that distance
is $400 a ton.
"This Klondike strike was located
by a man I had grub-staked. Quite
a few mines are found in this fashion.
Another fellow I grub-staked, I have
not seen nor heard of for more than a
year. I own three claims that I ex-
pect will pan out as well as the Candle
creek property.
"Alask.a is developing at a very rapid
rate. It is a country of marvelously
rich resources, with great possibilities
in a mining way. There are rich coal
possibilities, and the quartz develop-
ment is proving quite remarkable.
There is a tremendous immigration of
labor in and out of Alaska every year.
The summer season lasts from 120 to
130 days, and laboring men are able
to clean up a nice stake in that time.
Many of them work all winter, but
others go In and out at the beginning
and end of the summer season. Com-
mon labor Is paid at the rate of $5
and $6 a day and board."
From the above in"ervlew It might
be Inferred that Mr. Myers rather likes
to speak of his wealth. Just the con-
trary seems to be the case. The story
as written was obtained in a very dis-
connected form, and only after an
hour's industrious work on the part
of the Interviewer. Where men talk
about themselves and their doings for
the press, the newspapers often picture
them as being of a modest and retir-
ing disposition, and this has been done
so much that the general public some-
times doubts such statements when
they see them now,
Mr. Myers really 1 nprjssses one as
being the sort who ■\\ould rather talk
about what some one else has accom-
plished. While cordit.l and friendly
enough in his manner, he appears
modest almost to the verge of bash-
fulness when It conif' to speaking of
what he has done in the gold fields of
Alaska, and this manner hasn't the
color of affectation, eitlier, as is so
often the ca.se.
His sister pix)duced several Nome
papers— which, by the way, sell at
25 cents a copy— showing that Mr.
Myers Is considered one of the most
expert and successful miners in North-
ern Alaska. His properties receive
liberal mention in the columns of the
Nome papers, and the estimates of his
cleanups are placed even higher than
he himself places them.
Mr. Myers left Candle City Oct. 11,
and today started East with Mrs. Has-
lam for a visit with relatives in Chi-
cago, New York, Canada and other
Eastern points.

ful personage always came fairly
loaded down with candies, toys and
presents for good little children. Bill
and Nell were naturally intensely in-
terested in the wonderful story that
is so dear to the heart of every child
and Is also remembered by men and
women with tender sentiments.
In the goodness of his heart, Fred
conceived the idea of giving his little
brother and sister a delightful and
practical illustration of the coming
of old Santa Claus, so he said to
them that in the "old house" over in
the field there was a chimney that
Santa was in the habit of practicing
the descent down chimneys, all of
which it was very necessary for him
to know all about in his particular
line of business.
He said that the deserted house
served the purpose of old Santa ex-
cellently, as there was no one living
there to see or disturb him in his
daily practice of going up and down
the old chimney place. Such practice
was, of course, highly necessary and
important. Fred explained, for the
reason that at Christmas time little
children grow unusually alert and
watchful of every sound and every-
thing. It is, therefore, necessary for
good old Santa Claus to be well up
In his business, and be able to make
his many descents and ascents with
the very greatest care and with the
very least possible noise.
Fred, therefore, suggested that Bill
and Noll repair to the old house over
in the field, and there quietly watch
on the oli-fashioned fireplace for a
glimp.se of he delightful old man
himself.
The smaller children very promptly
and gladly acquiesced, and proceeded
to quickly carry out the alluring
proposition.
Fred accompanied them to the door
of the house .^nd then explained to
them that as he had frequently seen
Santa Claus he would just leave them
to have all of the fun by themselves.
Besides, he informed them that it
might displease Santa for one of his
mature years to be there and so he
would go down to the big barn to
look after the mules, the pigeons and
the rats, all of which were more or
kss numerous down there.
That was an entirely satisfactory
arrangement and so Bill and Nell went
tiptoe into the old and deserted house
and with expectant minds and with
throbbing hearts they took up there
places to watch beside the fireplace at
the bottom of the chimney.
Now, Fred didn't go on down to the
barn as he had said that he would
do. That was not his intention at all
.so to do, for in the coming entertain-
ment he had assigned to himself the
leading and Important part of Santa
Claus. He was going to Impersonate
old Santa and do it to the queen's own
taste, all for the joy and pleasure of
his little brother and sister. So quiet-
ly and carefully he placed a ladder up
to the house, climbed upon the roof,
and then started to slowly go down
into the dark and soot-covered hole in
the big chimney.
His descent therein, though slow and
carefully made, was the cause of the
falling down into the fireplace below
of much soot, dust plaster and broken
brick, all of which was duly witnes.sed
with intense eagerness and interest
by the youthful watchers stationed
down there.
If there had ever been any doubts
in their childish minds about the
reality of Santa Claus, it was now all
swept away, for there before their
very eyes was not there absolute proof
of his existence. The falling stuff and
the noise of someone coming slowly
down the chimney was too plain and
it could mean nothing else. So, with
beating hearts and abated breaths,
they waited and watched for further
developments in the old chimney
place.
But little Fred, the impersonater of
Santa Claus, was in trouble. He had
succeeded in getting about halfway
down the chimney when he found a
very narrow place in it. evidently
caused by some repairs at a former
time to a bulging wall, and there It
was that Fred got stuck tight and fast.
The harder he worked to get out. the
tighter he found himself wedged in.
He could not go any farther down,
and, what was Infinitely worse, he
found that he could not get back up.
There he was. tight and fast. He not
only could not go up or down, but he
was almost suffocated with the soot
and dust so thick in the old chimney
way.
Reluctantly he made up his mind
that he would have to call for help.
It was plainly a matter of life or
death for him. So, lifting up his voice
as best he could in that dark, soot-cov-
ered hole, a voice that even to him-
self sounded wierd and strange, he
called out loudly:
"Bill and Nell, run .and get help,

quick. I'm stuck in the chimney." The ;
little folks heard the unexpected call '
for help in the queer, strange voice of
the chimney, and though they mar-
veled much to themselves at the
thought that Santa Claus could be
really stuck tight in the chimney, they
delayed not a minute and sped away to
the house for help just as fast as their
little legs would carry them along In
that direction. Neither one of thein
spoke a word until they were going
through the bars in the big pasture,
when Nell panted out:
"I thought Santa Claus could make
himself big or little, just as he wanted
to."
"He can," replied Bill with the su-
perior wisdom of both his age and
sex, "but he just forgot to make him-
self small until he was fast and light,
and then nobody could do it." That
sounded like good reasonable logic to
little Nell, and on they sped again to-
ward the house At the back gate Nell
spoke again, evidently the thought had
just occurred to her, and she spoke [
with words ' of awe, "He called me
Nell," she said.
"That's so," said the boy thought-
fully, "and," he added with evident
satisfaction, "he called me Bill."
"Sure he did," replied Bill gleefully,
and both laughed happily as they
thought of the intimate acquaintance
they were forming with the great and
wonderful Santa Claus. Then on to the
yard and up to the house they sped.
Mr. Welghtly was standing on the front
porch.
Little Bill rushed up the front steps
first and cried excitedly: "Papa, papa,"
and as soon as he could get his breath

for words, he continued: "Santa Claus I he had been led to discover the un«
is stuck fast and tight in the chimney
at the old house and he sent us in
a hurry for you to come and help him
out."
"Yes," chimed in little Nell, anxious
to help matters along: "He is in an
awfully bad fix there. Come, do come
quick."
Mr. Weightly laughed good natured-
lj\ but refu.sed to believe their story.
The farmer was just getting ready
to go to Carthage for the Christmas
shopping, and he was not disposed to
stop then and make a wild goose chase
over to the old house to humor an idle
fancy of the children. "It's nothing but
the owls and bats," he said. "Now you
children run along in the hou-se and ask
mother if she is about ready to go to
town."
Things began to look bad for poor San-
ta Claus. "But." pleaded the little
boy anxiously, "he called me Bill."
"Yes," added the little girl quickly,
"and he called me Nell. "Do come
on papa, please, please come."
The tears came into her big brown
eyes at the thought, that after all,
their efforts would be in vain and
that their story of Santa Claus
would not be believed. It was aw-
ful to think that good old Santa
Claus, the loved friend of all chil-
dren, should have to suffer and
perish in a dirty chimney of a
deserted farmhouse in a field of
Missouri.
It was entirely too much for
little Nell and she began to cry with
all her heart. The evident earnest-
ness of the little children finally
impressed Mr. Weighty, and reluct-
antly he con.sented to accompany
them over to the old house.
Nell driedv her tears instantly.
The sun was beginning to shine
again. Things began to look better
for the salvation of the imprisoned
Santa Claus. But the father told
happy plight of his son In time to
save his life, he got up on the root
of the old house. He let the rope
dangle down the chimney to Fred
and in.structed him how to place it
around his waist. Then after a
great deal of exertion upon the part
the farmer and much suffering
for the poor boy in the chimney,
the lad was finally raised to the lop
of the chimney and as.sisted safely;
down to the ground.
Little Fred, the would-be imper-
sonator of jolly old Santa Claus was
a sorrowful sight, indeed. He was
covered from head to foot with the
black soot and dirt and the blood
was freely flowing from his be.smear-
ed face and hands from the .^cratches
and bruises he received from sharp
and protruding brick in the side
walls of the old chimney. Fred felt
awful bad about it, but little Bill
and Nell felt even wonse. A great
and unexpected sorrow had suddenly
and prematurely come to them both,
for the beautiful childish illusion of
good and mysterious old Santa Claud
was gone from them forever.

falling soot and dust and noise all
came from the birds and the bats
that are wont to flutter around in
old and unused chimney places.
But on they went and soon ar-
rived at the old house and entered
therein. There were signs of fresh
fallen soot and dust about the fire
place, but that was all. No sounds
came from the dark chimney.
"You see, children," said Mr.
Weightly. "It was just as I thought,
it was only the bats, that and
nothing more. Now we will go back
to the house." Things began to
look bad again for Santa Claus in
the chimney. It was then that little
Nell developed into a true heroine.
In desperation she ran to the chim-
ney place, looked up and called out
as loud as ever .she could, "Santa,
Oh, .Santa, papa is here to help you
out." Her action brought results.
There came from the dark re-
cesses of the chimney a weak and
muflled voice with a trace of tears
in it, sa>ing: "Help, Oh, help me
out quick!"
Thoroughly startled now. Mr.
Weightly hurriedly went to the fire
place and a.sked:
"Who is it up there and what are
you doing?"
"It's me, Fred," came the reply.
"What In the name of wonder are
you doing up there?" repeated thes
farmer.
"I — I was just playln' Santa Claus
and now I'm almost .dead. Do
get me out quick," was the tearful
reply.

Los Angeles, Cal.. Dec. 26.— James
J. Jeffries, the great champion, will
enter the ring. He will fight again in
April, and his opponent is to be Bill
Squires, the Australian heavyweight.
Jeffries received an offer from
Frank Skinner of Rhyollte. tendering
a $30,0*30 purse for this battle, and the
champion promptly accepted. Skln-
rer'9 offer gave Jeffries the choice of
Squires or Jack Johnson. Jack John-
son was declared out of the question.
In addition to this Jeffries really
has promised to give Tommy Burns
a flght, provided the latter defeats
Jack O'Brien in their next meeting.
Billy Delaney, Jeffries" ring mas-
ter, has also wired the Rhyollte peo-
ple to consider the match with
Squires made.
With these offers before him, Jef-
fries has declared that he will not
consider the offer from Tonopah to
refer^^e the Gans-Herman fight New
Year's day. "I shall be too busy
getting ready for my own campaign
to do any officiating," says the big
fellow. "While they are hanging up
such big purses it would be a crime
to let such money get away. I can't
afford to refuse to fight for such in-
ducements.
•'I am assured they are bona fide,
and all they have to do Is to furnish
me evidence that It Is real money,
and I am on."
.^porting circles are all agog here
with the definite news that Jeff is
•to fight again. He looks in good
shape now, but carries quite a bit of
overweight. He says he can get Into
condition at short notice.

Chicago. Dec. 26.— Jack Welch of
San Francisco, from all present ap-
pearances, will do the refere*;lng at
Tonopah on Xew Year's day. Pro-
moter Riley, when Jim Jeffries failed
to come to bat in a reasonable period,
angrily declared that he would allow
Jeff just a few hours more, and that
if he didn't show up by then he
would get another boy. The ohly
thing Riley Insisted on was that the
i-eferer- should be a coast man.
This made Nate Lewis wail some.
but Nate finally dried his tears and
said that Jack Welch would be ac-
ceptable. Nate wanted George Siler,
with Doc Krone as reserve choice,
and the lot would have fallen to
Krone In all probability, as Slier
would hardly have accepted, whl.e
Krone would be a new man to the
Nevadans and acceptable to both
sides. , ..
Jack Welch is about the best of the
coast referees when it comes down
to actual ability, and his decisions
average much betti-r than those of
the other "native sons." He is a
hardy fearless fellow, perfectly square
In ideas and intentions, and certainly
has no axes to grind for either Gans

sort along Broadway this week.

"The Soo hockey team left the ice

The National Cycling association
realizes the weakness of the present
rules and the officials are open to sug-
j gestions for changes. Many have been
made but so far none of those proposed
I changes have shown any improvement
I on the ones which governed the recent
race.
Jimmy Moran. the rider who rode as
a partner to Mat Downey, has one of
the best plans yet suggested, and the
' association may adopt it. As the whole
trouble hinged on the falling of riders
while some one was making a sprint,
that is the part to be corrected. But for
this rule there would have been no
kick on the six-day race. Moran pro-
poses that a rule be made providing
that when a rider falls while a sprint
Is on he .should get up and join the
bunch. If the sprinter should succeed
in lapping the majority of the riders,
the man who fell should take his place
with the majority. In other words, he
must lose the same lap that the others j
do. That sounds like a very fair rule, i
The rules are left entirelj- with the [
National Cycling a.ssociation, but Pro-
moter Powers has requested them to !
I frame a new set of rules for next year |
and cites the many complaints on the
"falling rider rulee" as an example of
I the present rules.
! In a statement Mr. Powers intimates
1 that thfre will be a race next year.
There was no clause providing for
the fall of a rider when he did it
purpo.selj-. The judges could not tell.
It does not stand to reason that a man
would break his arm to keep Walthour
from gaining a lap when it made no
difference to him financially.
Walthour was the popular favorite.
Could he have made up that lap and
won the race, the victory would have
been popular. Had he gained his lap
earlier in the week, there would have
been no complaint. The management of
all money-making concerns like to
please the public. By faking th^^y could
have allowed Walthour to gain his
goal and all would have been lovely.
In fact. Pat Powers was so hopeful
that Walthour would win his lap that
he grew so enthusiastic at one tim-?
as to announce to new.spaper men that
Bobby had made it. He didn't under-
stand the rule.s himself.
At one time it was thought that
Walthour had lapped the field despite
the falls, but as there were so many
riders on the track for relief the pub-
lic got them confused with the other
riders and thought that teams had
been lapped when It was really the re-
lief men who were taking their time.
To obviate the continual niisapprt-
hension of the public the rules mu.^t b*>
changed. Moran's suggestion looks to
be fair as well as effective.
shoots him full of holes, but for the
mere tripping of a player it seems
ridiculous. We have seen men delib-
erately struck over the head with a
hockey club making a cut that neces-
sitated a surgeon and ten stitches to
remedy. We have seen a player
bunted into the sides of the building
so that the shingles came off the root.
For these slight disturbances of the
rules the offenders were excused for
a few minutes while the heavier hitter
took their places, but for the tripping
of a player. It is ridiculous. We do
not wonder that the Soo team left the
ice and are only surprised that they
did not take the ice with them."

Scarcely a day passes now without
some mention of James J. Jeffries and
the possibility of his return to tht
prize ring in the sporting pages. Jef-
fries has been coquetting with the
prize fight promoters for months, and
there is little doubt but that the re-
tired champion is attracted by the big
purses that are being offered, and is
anxious to return to the ring if he gets
the right opportunity.
The trouble is in securing the right
kind of an opponent for him. Thr
big fellow has drawn the color liae
on Johnson, and has announced so
many times that he would never fight
the negro under any conditions, that
it would be hard for him to back down
now even if he felt so inclined. This
I leaves only O'Brien and Burns, and
■ neither of these fighters would prove
i much of a drawing card as an oppon-
' ent to Jeffries. In Squires the Aus-
tralian heavyweight, the promoters
seem to have found a man, and the
match is said to have been arranged.

Now York, Dec. 26.— A gigantic oil
trust has been organized in Europe,
backed by the Rothschild family,
which will cunlr.jl fields in itussia.
Austria and Roumania. producing
more crude petroleum than the United
States. This combination will be in
direct compt^'titlon with the Standard
Oil Company in Europe, and, with
the resources of the Rothschilds as
capital, may invade this country.
This news was received yesterday by
the Standard Oil company in two
dispatches from its Berlin and Paris
correspondents. The first announced
that the Stearna Romana, the con-
trolling oil company, had made a
lar*;<^ Increase in capital, entirely sub-
scribed for by a French syndicate,
and the second, pusttively identified
this synidcate as the Rothschilds.
The Slt-arna Romana has its head-
quarters in Bucharest, and formerly
tontrolied only the oil fields of Rou- i
mard.a. Tb.iSc produce only 4,000.000
l-arrels of crude petroleum a year,
but are capable of great develop-
ment if suflficient capital is emplnyed.

Washington, Dec. 26. — A resolution
requesting the secretary of agricul-
ture to inform congress by what au-
thority Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief
of the bureau of chemistry, depart-
ment of agrlcuture, conducted his
boracic acid or "poison squad" tests,
will be introduced in the house of rep-
resentatives immediately after the
Christmas holidays by Representative
James Hay of Virginia.
The resolution will state that:
'Whereas, there have been allegations
that the test resulted in the death
of Robert Vance Freeman, son of
Mrs. Lures Lathan, of 617 Thirteenth
street. Northwest, this city; and,
whereas, if this be true, it would

Robert Vance Freeman died in this

STREET FIGHT AT
EASORAINERD
And William Itagadern is
in the Hospital Fa-
tally Wounded.
Bralnerd, Minn., Det;. 26.— As the re-
sult of a street fight between two men
at East Bralnerd yesterday William
Hagadern, one of the combatants, lies
probably fatally wounded at St.
Joseph's hospital tonight, and Harry
Towers, the other, is locked up at po-
lice headquarters.
The two men have b?en on bad terms
for some time, engas:ing in a street
fight here about two weeks ago over
some petty matter. They met on the
street again yesterday and trouble
began at once with the result that
Towers was severely beaten.
Hagadern, thinking that the trouble
had been settled permanently, paid no
further attention to the matter, and
was seen in his usual haunts around
the town. A short lime later, while
about to enter a saloon, he was ap-
proached by Towers, who had in tlie
meantime secured a D-gauge shotgun.
A few more words passed between
the two, Hagadern apparently defy-
ing Towers, the latter immediately
bringing the gun to his shoulder, and
firing point blank. Hatradrm fell to the
pavement, and it was found that the
full charge of buckshot had lodged in
his stomach, laceratirg It to such an
extent that recovery is said to be im-
possible.
Towers immediattly left the scene,
evidently fearing violrnce at the hands
of Hagadern's friends, many of whom
had congregated. Towers was arrested
last night and held j^ending develop-
ments. If Hagadern dies, the charge
will be murder in the first degree. .
Both of the men arc well known
here, and have been highly respected.
They were employed at the Northern
Pacific Railroad company's shops.

Chicago. Dec. 26.— Following the ex-
ample of Waltem Camp, Caspar 'VN'^hit-
! ney has selected but one Western
j player for his AU-American football
I team, which Is published in the last
i number of Outing.
Eckersali is the player chosen by
Whitney, but he la placed at fullback
instead of at the quarterback position,
' where Camp had him. Dillon, the
j Princeton captain, is given the quarter-
j back position.
' In his grading of teams, Minnesota
i is given the eleventh position and Chi-
jcago the twelfth. Yale, of course Is
' grlven first place, and Princeton and
Harvard second and third.
( In speaking of the Western game, as
1 compared to football in the East, Mr.
' Whitney shows that he had not any
' higher regard for this neck of the
! woods than in years past.
t "Speaking generally," he writes,
' "the West has lagged a long way be-
hind the East in developing the play
under the new rules."
He bases his comparison on Michi-
gan's game with Pennsylvania on
Franklin field and the Carlisle Indian-
Minnesota game at Minneapolis. In
another place he says that one of the
events of real worth was putting the
over-rated Michigan in its proper class,
Mr. Whitney says the season was
the most satisfactory he ever knew
and calls it a defeat of brawn by
brains. The new rules were a great
boon to the game, according to the
Outing editor, and the strategic pos-
sibilities were opened up, which will
mean an increased betterment of the
sport as the various teams compre-
hend the prospects of development un-
der the new system. Yale is credit'^d
with being the pioneer in the forward
pass and on-side kick plays. Mr. Whit-
ney argues against any change in the
rules as thev now stand.

LOST TOJTHE WORLD
Was Secret of Making Gold By a Terri-
ble Accident
Paris, Dec. 26.— The world has lost
what was claimed to be the secret of the
manufacturing of gold, by a startling
fatality in the laboratory of the dis-
covtrer. M. Capel of Pomet, a noted
chemist
that he had at last solved the problem.
He called his wife one night into the
laboratory and showed then what ap-
peared to be a nugget of gold.
While hf was explaining the process
by which he had manufactured the
gold he happened to push a basin of
gunpowder near to the lamp. The next
moment there was a terrific explosion,
wrecking the lat)oratory and killing
every member of the family. Mme.
Capel still lived and was able to
speak, but died while being carried to
the hospital. The bodies of the al-

TO HIS STALL
The Russian Recruit Would Lead the
Officer. He Declared.
St. Petersburg. Dec. 26.— The Rus-
sian newspapers are taking advant-
age of the recruiting season to at-
tack the stupid manner in which re-
cruits are trained. This training is
modeled on the saying of the late
Gen. Dragmorloff that the duty of a
soldier is to kill, not to think.
The first question now put to all
soldiers by their company comman-
der is:
"What would you do if you met a
Japanese?"
1'he answer which all recruits know
they are expected to give is:
"Kill him."
The following colloquy is given as
a genuine example of what often
takes place. The commander begins:
"What would you do if you met a
Japanese?"
"Kill him, your honor."
Q. And if you met two? A. Kill
them, your honor.
Q. But if there
them, your honor.
Q. One man couldn't kill 100. You
should answer, "I would retire hon-
orably." A. I should retire honor-
ably.
Q. And if you met a cow? A. I
should kill her.
Q. Think, fool, why should you kill
a cow? A. I should retire honorably,
your honor.
Q. No, you would take the cow and
lead her to the stall. A. Ye^ your
honor. I would lead her to her stall.
Q. And if you met me? A. I should
kill you, your honor.
Q. You would kill me?
The recruit turned red. looked
stupid, and scratching his head, an-
swered:
"Yea. your honor. Kill you first
and then retire honorably and lead
you to your stall."

Memory of the Sheely
Tragedy WorRed
Against It.
Lexington, Ky., Dec. 26.— Despite his
confession of having murdered James
Cockrell, Curtis Jett did not receive
the death sentence at the hands of
the jurymen in his trial. This
result was by no means unex-
pected. No matter what the evidence,
in the last fifty-nine years there has
not been an execution in Harrison
county, and as long as the story of the
execution of David Sheely remains in
the memory of the citizens, the gal-
lows will be a public incumbrance.
David Sheely, a poor farmer who
was fond of drink, lived happily with
his wife and several children in the
northern part of Harrison county, on
a branch of the Licking river. Jovial
and sociable, he was always glad to
admit to his home persons of the
same disposition, without endeavoring
to read their character, and was al-
ways willing to do a good turn, little
carrying for the reward.
On a freezing, disagreeable night in
November of 1845, Byington Marshall,
a tall handsome fellow, somewhat in-
temperate, with a propensity to
gamble, made his appearance at Shee-
ly's home and asked for shelter. As
the snow covered the ground, and
Sheely knew that Marshall was some
distance from his own home, he cheer-
fully consented to furnish his acquaint-
ance with a bed, and Mrs. Sheely cook-
ed for their guest the best the hou.se-
hold afforded. It was a splendid sup-
per and a merry occasion, "lacking
nothing," said Marshall, "but a toddy."
'Don't you see Dave's sober?" re-
marked Mrs. Sheely. "You should know
there is no whisky in the house."
After supper Marshall proposed to
send Sheely to Conrad's store on the
South Licking river, three miles away,
for a gallon of whisky, to which Mrs.
.Sheely objected, as she, knowing her
husband's thirst for liquor, feared that
he would get drunk and freeze to
death on his return. Marshall, how-
ever, sneered at her objections, and
Sheely swore that he would not touch
a drop until he returned. Mrs. Shee-
ly put the children to bed at 9 o'clock.

and decided to sit up until her husband
rolurned. Nothing more was heard or
seen of Sheely until after midnight,
when his eldest daughter was awak-
ened fi-om iier slumbers by hearing
angry voices and something falling
heavily on the floor. She waa
I frightened from the awful stillness
■ that followed, and descended the steps
to find the body of her mother
stretched across the floor, with her
head split open from crown to chin,
while lying with his feet upon her and
one hand grasping the handle of a
bloody ux, was her father, drunk to
unconsciousness. The child aroused
her brother and sent him to the spare
room to wake Marshall.
The bed had been occupied, the cov-
ering was mussed, but Marshall was
not there, and the child, horrifled at
the tragedy, hastened to a neighbor's
to tell of the crime. In a short time the
tidings of the murder had passed over
thu' country and the neighbors gathered
at Sheely's house to witness the hor-
rible scene of the dead wife and the
drunken husband l>ing by her side
with the bloody ax in his hand.
When Sheely awoke from his drunken
stupor, his grief was pathetic. He pro-
l-ested his innocence, but, nevertheless,
was arrested, tried, convicted and sen-
tenced to be hung on the evidence of
j his daughter, the neighbors and Mar-
! shall. He escaped jail twice, but was
returned and finally executed Oct. 19,
1 1847. Marshall left the state soon after
j the trial of Sheely, going to Missouri,
Texas and New Orleans. It seemed that
he became a veritable nomad.
In the fall of 1851 the country was
scourged with cholera. At Maysville a
stranger was stricken down by the
plague, and when it became apparent
that his end was at hand he sent for
the late Rev. John A. McClung, at
that time a noted Presbyterian divine,
and confided to him the following re-*
markable story:
He said that his name was Byington
Marshall; that he was a native of
Harrison county, where he had always
resided until a few years back; that It
was he who had killed Nancy Sheely.
the crime for which David Sheely had
been hanged; that for a long time he
had looked upon the murdered woman
with desire until at last the desire to
possess her became so strong that ha
determined to conquer at all hazards,
that he knew of Sheely's unfortunata
thirst for Intoxicants arid determined
to profit therefrom; that he visited the
house on the night of the tragedy and
sent Sheely off to Ecker's mill after
whisk.v, in order to get him out of tht)
way; that after the children were sent
off to bed he used all the arts of per-
suasion to Induce Mrs. Sheely to sub-
mit to his wishes, even offered her a
considerable sum of money he had with
him, but all to no pifrpose; that ho
then att inpted force, but she was a
woman of great physlclal strength and
successfully resisted all of his efforts to
master her; that it was her indignant
denunciations of him that the little
girl had heard and thought her mother
was quarreling with her father, as she,
subsequently te.stified in court, consign-
ing her father to a felon's death; that
on her threatening to have him ar-
rested, and. stung by her bitter words
of hatred, in a moment of insane anger,
he seized an ax that leaned against
the chimney jam and surTk the blade
In her head. .She fell and expired with-
out a groan.
Horrified at his crime, he flung the
ax on the floor and stole up the stair-
way to a.scertain if any of the chil-
dren were witnesses of the dr:»adful
deed. He found them all asleep, and,
taking his saddle bags from a chair on
which they had been placed in the room
he was to have occupied; he mussed
up the bed so as to make it look as
though it had been slept in, climbed
out of the window and made his way
to Ecker's mill, where he inquired
of the whereabouts of Sheely. He con-
cluded that he could not dij with the
great load of double murder upon his
conscience, for he felt as though he
had also killed Dave Sheely, as well
as his unfortunate wife. He then be-
came delirious and remained so until
he died.

LAST MEETING
OF THE YEAR
County Board Will Clean
Up 1906 Business
Friday.
The board of county commissioners
will hold its last meeting of the year
at the courthou.=e Friday morning.
At this meeting the board expects to
clean up all the rnatters that have
been brought before It this year, and of
which disposition has not yet been
made. When the Tsoard adjourns to-
morrow afternoon It will have a clean
slate for the reorganized board that
will meet the first Tuesday after the
firsi Wednesday in January, the date
of the annual meeting.
The commlsslonsrs will nave quite
a large number of matters of minor
Importance to dispose of tomorrow.
Probably the most important thing
that will come up for consideration will
be the report of the committee ap-
pointed to look into the matter of
purchasing additional ground for the
new courthouse site. At the last meet-
ing of the board, a resolution was
passed declaring the need of acquir-
ing additional ground and selecting the
remaining several lots on Second street
to Fifth avenue west as
wanted. The committee was directt'd to
see the owner of 75 feet of the property
with the view of making a purchase
outright, as it was understood that the
owner did not wish to have condem-
nation proceedings started. The other
property, that of Capt. Alexander Mc-
Dougall's, It has been expected to ac-
quire by condemnation proceedings as
Boon as the board is ready to set the
county's legal machinery in operation.
The heads of the various depart-
ments at the courthouse have been
looking over their supplies, and sab-
mltting estimates of what they think
will be necessary to carry them through
another year. The commissioners in-
sist that the county officers shall make
as nearly as possible, a full list of
what they will require, in order that
the board may get a bid on the whole
without having to pay extra during the
the following comparative statement:

on a charge of having stolen several
overcoats, sealskin gloves and a cam-
era from Phillip J. Bowers of 180
Market street, in that city.
"I am not a thief at heart," con-
tinued the prisoner. "I'm ready to
stand anything that is given to me,
but I firmly believe that the cause of
justice as well as of humanity would
be better served by placing me In
some hospital or other Institution,
where I can be treated for this mor-
phine habit, than by sending me to
prison. I neither ask for nor deserve
sympathy, but I must have something
for my nerves and treatment for my
general physical condition."
As Davis stood in court his condi-
tion did not belie his story. He was
shaking all over his body.
( He admitted his guilt, but said that
: about fifteen years ago he was In
1 comfortable circumstances in Green
! Palace, Ind., but fell In with a racing
: crowd and then became a confirmed
morphine user. The police are In-

THE DULUTH EVENING HERALD: WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1900,
WARN
MARINERS
(icongressman Bcdc Will
Ask Lighthouse for
North Shore.
Visits Duiuth to Learn
Needs of Local
Harbor.
U^OTE— Regular charge accounts can havit present purchases charged on thdr January account and hiU render^ February ist.
\ \
SPECIALISTS
Congressman J. ^ dam Bede will in-
tr'tdui'? at the present session of con-
arress a bill providing for a lighthouse
on the north shore of Lake Superior
between Duiuth and Two Harbors. If
the measure passes congress it is prob-
able that the lighthouse will be locat-
ed at Knife Islr.r.d. or in that vicinity.
Congressman Bede. who arrived in
Duiuth from Washington today, says
that the bill will be in accord with
that the portion of the recently pub-
lished report of the board of United
etates engineers on the things neces-
sary for the benefit of shipping on the
Greut Lakes and in the way of im-
provements for the local harbor.
The board of engineers were here
last summer and made an investiga-
tion In the report they recommend-
ed among other things tliat a light-
house be established on the north
chore between Duiuth and Two Har-
bors for the protection during storms
of the lake freighters and passenger
boats.
Congressman Bede says that he came
to Duiuth at this time for the special
purpose of finding out what the peo-
ple think of the report of the engineers
as to the harbor improvements, and to
learn just what is wanted in the
vay of congressional action by the
vessel interests, the shippers ajid the
people. .... »,
Congressman Bede says that he has
been v^rv busy at \Va.shington and
could hardly leave his work at this
time, but In view of the importance
of the needs of the local harbor, he
thought It was best to be on the ground
end tind out from the views of the
p-opie here themselves what they
want.
He will remain in Duiuth long enough
to attend the meeting that has been
called at the Commercial club tomor-
row evening to discuss the needs of ths
fcarbor.

DAYLIGHT ..\1IEAD.
Fireflies are still In advance of man-
kind in tho matter o:! economical light
producing. The phosphorescent glow
which they give off is nearly pure light.
Very little of the energj' Is wasted in
heat, while In the case of the lighting
devised by man more power is used up in
producing heat, whicii is usually not
wanted, than is converted into visible
light, says the New Ycrk Sun.
The nearest we have yet come to fol-
lowing the fireflies is ihe mercury vapor
light developed by American inventors,
which, in the form of l(mg, glowing tubes,
has been seen in our shop windows as
advertisements for two years or more.
They produce more light at le.ss cost
than any other practiail method of illum-
ination, and would be extensively used if
it were not for the color of the light It
contains no red rays, "ijut is strongest in
the violet end of the spectrum, extending
far beyond the limits of visibility in that
direction and include an abundance of
raj's that we can photograph, but cannot
see.
This mercury glow light has made the
"while you wait photography" of the
pleasure parks a po.ssi jillty, but it Is too
ghastly for common use. As the New
York Independent says. It would turn a
parlor into a morgue cr a seance room.
But recently.it is reported that German
chemists have overcone this difficulty by
putting into the electrodes other metals
besides mercury, thus changing the char-
acter of the light and making it approach
the light of common clay.
Zinc with 10 per cent of bismuth and a
trace of sodium Is tised for this purpose.
If this pi'oves practical we shall have our
houses cheaply lighted by soft, glowing
tubes arranged in all sorts of artistic de-
signs on the walls and ceilings instead of
one or more points of light too bright to
look at directly.
BOX RENTS
CHANGED
New Equalization of
Rates Goes Into
Effect Jan. I.
Will Apply to Offices
All Over the
Country.
Under a new equalization for post-
office box-rents, which will go into ef-
fect the first of the year, the rents will
be materially changed at the Duiuth
postoffice. The new rule will be applic-
able to offices all over the country as
well as the Duiuth office. An order ex-
plaining the new rate has just been re-
ceived by the local authorities.
In cities where there is a business of
from $1U'3,OjO to $300,000. in which division
Duiuth is included, tne call boxes will o©
I 75 cents to $1.00 and the lock boxes will
; be $1.50 a quarter to $2. Extra large
I lx)xes will hereafter be charged for at
1 the rate of $3 a quarter.
I Box rents have been fixed heretofore
I upon no established ba.sis, with the re-
1 suit that at certain large post ottices
jrnies are lower than at many small of-
I fices and that the charge for boxes in
! many places has been higher than thai
i which should be made. In order to rem-
I edy these conditions and to provide a
'' definite and sati8factor>- rule for the col-
! lection of box rents the new schedule has
' been adopted by the post oftlce officials
and will take effect all over the country'
on January 1, 1907.
"The larger boxes have almost all been
taken up already at the local office and
! tho smaller boxes will be subscribed for
I belcre the end of the year. The work
' of letting the boxes is in the department
1 of Henry Guesen, in charge at the stamp
! window.
time cards have not remained in effect a
great length of time, and within a few
weeks changes in train schedules would
make new cards necessary.
"This year we issued a time card on
July 29 which was printed on whit*- paper,
and it has remained in effect the longest
of any time card in my experience a.s su-
perintendent of the union depot, cover-
ing a period of fifteen yf*ars. As there
has been no change in the time of the
275 trains wiiich arrive and leave the de-
pot daily since the time card was issued,
and as there is no n >tice of a prospective
change, we have ordered a second supply
of white time cards, the first second order
which we have ever placed.
"The white card hoodoo thus receives a
back.se t, but the railroad men about the
depot contend that the exception proves
the rule."
THE ANIMAL SKYSCRAPER.
The red-billed weaver bird is a constant
companion of the giraffe, perching itself
upon the withers and flying along when
it.s host takes to fiigtit. and immediately
alighting again on its back at the first
opportunity, says the Natal Agricultural
Journal. The only means of defense or
offense po.ssess-ed hy the giraffe is by
means of its hoofs, and the blows it can
deliver by kicking are of tremendous
power. The old males during the breed-
ing sea-son fight in tliis manner a good
deal, and the female employs the .same
means in defending her young against
carnivorou.s animals.
Giraffes are rery swift of foot, and It
requires a very fleet horse to run them
down. Experienced hunters, iiowever,
charge them at full speed, and by this
means are often able to run into them,
and if the giraffes are fat tli^y will soon
become 'blown." When running, the
tail is twisted in a corkscrew fashion
over the back, and the liind legs at each
step are thrown on the outside of the
forelegs, giving a very grotesque, strad-
dling appearance. The giraffe is mute,
but has a very keen sense of hearing and
of smell.

At the Close, Rally Fol-
lowing Break in
Hill Stocks.
Wide Fluctuations But
Volume of Business
Very Small.
New York, Dec. 26.— The only Important
dealings when the stock marked opened
today were in the tran.s-continentals and
Reading. The Hill stocks and Reading
were under continued pressure. Northern
Pacific declined 1% and Great Northern
preferred and Smelting a point each.
Union Pacific, Atchisor. and Sugar rose
large fractions each. The London stock
exchange remained cloj;ed today and no
business was supplied from that center.
Confident buying of St. Paul and the
Pacifies revived a good demand for all
stocks. The Hill and other stocks
made up their losses, Great Northern
preferred, in fact, rising 1% above Mon-
day's closing and Reading 1%. After
the market had improved substantially,
the upward movement ceased and there
was if slight reaction. .St. Paul gained
1%; Union Pacific, 1%; Great Northern
Ore Certificates, 1%; Brooklyn Rapid
Transit, 1%; Colorado Fuel, 1%, and
Southern Pacific, Canadian Pacific,
New York Central, Kansas & Texas
and Amalgamated Corper, 1 each.
Business in tile second hour of trad-
ing was insignificant and fluctuations
narrow, but touching a slightly higher
level. Anaconda ro.se 3%. Pressed
Steel Car 1% and Pacific Mail 1. United
.States Rubber and Knickerbocker Ice
fell 1 each. Bonds were irregular.
Effective buying was limited to a few
specialties, the general market being neg-
lected and featureless. American Ice Se-
curities rose 5; Lead 2%; Norfolk &
Western 1% and North a-estern and Uni-
ted States Rubber first preferred 1 each.
Stocks on which subscription privileges
had been granted recently were sold fol-
lowing the judicial proceedings to re-
strain the new issue of Great Northern
stocks. The Hill stocks and St. Paul were
depressed sharply, but the general list,
though heavy in symjathy, yielded but
little. St. Paul lost all of its previous
gain and Great Northern preferred and
Northern Pacific sold 1'^ and 3% respect-
ively under Monday's closing. American
Ice securities got up 6% and Mexican
Central and Wisconsin Central preferred
1 each, Minneapolis & St. Louis fell 2%.
The market closed strong at a rally.
The violent break in the Hill stocks
weakened the whole ll.«t, and when pres-
sure was lifted from them the general
market made some rf.lly. The loss in
Great Northern preferred extended to 7%
and in Northern Pacific to 7%. Minneapo-
lis, St. Paul & Soo fell 5%, Twin City
Rapid Transit 2%, St. Paul, Canadian
Pacific, Delaware & Hudson and Chicago
Union Traction company 1% to 1%, and
Northwestern 1. Lackawanna .sold at a
decline of 35 points. Nashville, Chat-
tanooga & St. Louis ro«e 5 and American
Ice 7%. The rebound in Great Northern
firef erred ran to 3%, in Northern Pacific

each. Atchison rose 1 over Monday and

THE CHICAGO MARKET.
Wheat Opened Easier But Became Firmer
on Short Covering.
Chicago, Dec. 26.— Thf wheat market
today opened a trifle easier on selling
by pit traders, but In a short time be-
came firmer on covering by shorts and
buying by commission houses. The
chief source of tiie strength was the
firmness of coarse grains. May wheat
opened unchhanged to %c lower at 77%c
to 77%c. sold at 77%'f,i77%c and then ad-
vanced to 78c. Minneapolis, Duluth and
Chicago reported receipts of 891 cars
against 413 cars la.'^t week and 1,127 cars
a year ago.
The close was easy with May a shade
lower at 77%^77%e.
The corn market opened firm, but the
volume of tr.ide wa.s small. Commis-
sion houses were good bidders, but of-
ferlng.s were liglit. May corn opened
a shade to %c higher at 43%'fi43%e to
43%c and sold at 43%i?i43%c. Local re-
ceipts were 718 cars with 7 of contract
grade.
The close was easy and at the low-
est point of the day, which was 43%®
4?%c.
Trading was very dull in the oats pit
but prices were firm on covering by
short.^. May oats opened unchanged at
Grain Gossip.
Logan & Bryan, Chicago: Wheat—
The dullness, tlie heaviness in corn and
the disposition of some of the belat'«d
longs in December to get out, and tl*;
absence of cable news gave a heavy
tone to wiieat most of the day. Much
will depend on the cables tomorrow,
after the holidays. The present tired
feeling in the trade is likely to end
with this month and believe the buy-
er.s on the soft spots will be in right
position for better market in January.
Corn— Because certain houses in tne
cash trade were moderate buyer.s of
both December and May during the
morning, the market held firm at a
trifle over Mondays price. It is diffi-
cult to get away from the fact that the
country will supply Chicago with a
great lot of corn in the next thirty or
sixty days and prices are almost cer-
tain to be depressed by it.
Oats— The market is showing surpris-
ing strength considering the final ciop
figures.
Provisions— It will not be stiange If
the action of the market leads to fur-
ther liquidation before we can advise
getting in on the buying side again.
• • «
Chicago Record-Herald: Wheat has
taken a little of the heavy tone that has
come from the coarse grains from holi-
day dullness, and the fact that tli*^re has
been no speculative demand to lighten
the load would naturally be supposed to
weigh upon the market at the end of
six montlis' marketings from a very
large ci-op. In view of all the circum-
stances, the market up to date has made
a creditable showing. There seems to
be no great inherent weakness in wheat
wlien the purchase of a few million bush-
els at a single market center should
prove sufficient to sustain the weight of
a crop which has received as much ad-
vertl.sing for its great size. It cannot be
reasonably claimed that the market is
maintained artiflclally when such condi-
tions exist.

Gay & Sturgls: There is good reason
for saying that the Immediate Hill fol-
lowing, of whicli Lord Strathcona and the
foreign holders are typical, have sold
neither Great Northern nor Northern Pa-
cific. The stock sold for Union Pacific
seemed to have gone into the hands of
traders who were not strong enough to
carry It, and the combination was re-
sponsible for recent weakness. In this
respect the technical position is much Im-
proved. Amalgamated Copper acted well
and seems to be oversold, while the weak
bull account in it has been pretty thor-
oughly liquidated. Commls.'jion houses
reported business small and unsatisfac-
tory.

GRAIN CORillllSSION.
HIINNEAPOLIS.
TO STUDY RAILROAD WRECKS.
The German government has taken
possession of a small strip of tracks
near Berlin and is planning to execute
a unique series of railroad "accidents"
made to order, says the St. Louis Poot-
Despatch. Everyy variety of misplaced
switch will be tested, every possible de-
fect in wheels, axles and car equipment
will be tried out, and the grand finals
is to be an immense head on collision
of locomotives. These spectacular ex-
hibitions are not planned by the gov-
ernment as a national amusement.
They are for the purpose of scientific
experiment, so that the engineers and
railway experts may study ways and
means to prevent accidents of all kinds
i in the future.
Railroad disasters have occurred with
alarming frequency In the German em-
pire. It is estimated that the German
railways lose $1,260,000 annually
through damages. After the causes and
effects of each variety of wreck have
been noted it will be the task of the
government officials to devise safe-
guards.
WEAPONS NOT NECESSARY.
The railroad platform at Heidelberg
was crowded with hurrying people of
many nationalities, but the American
traveler from Connecticut, who was
trying to reach his family, felt that
one man pushed against him with un-
necessary roughness, says the Youth's
Companion.
"See here," he .said, turning to the
offender, "you stop jostling me that
way."
He had hardly expected his words to
be understood, but the young man
whom he had accosted, drew himself
up haughtily and said in excellent
English, tinged by a slight German
accent:
"I am at your service, sir, at any
time and place."
"Well, now, that's something like,"
said the traveler, hooking his arm
into the haughty young man's. "You
carry this grip of mine, and take me
to a good hotel. You're Just the man
I've been looking for and didn't know
how to find."

Gay & Sturgis: The Boston News Bu-
reau this morning says: "There is un-
questionably a much improved feeling in
financial circles. Money on call Is in bet-
ter supply, due largely to the heavy spec-
ulative liquidation in New York. For this
reason there is less nervousness as to
the end of the year settlements. It is
not believed, however, that the situation |
warrants as yet any decided movement. |
Nothing more than a fair rally seems to
be warranted until tl:ne money is more
easily obtainable, and this can hardly be
expected at present. A favorable feature
is that the liquidation in the New York
stocJt market has been in those securities
which are the most attractive to invest-
ors "
A most striking and unusual inci- ;
dent in the situation is that New York j
bankers are not disposed to draw Euro- !
pean gold, although 1 1 present rates of ]

erns the Bank of Enf,-land rate. The se-

also asks for a temporai-j' injunction
pendente lite.
The attorney general, after recit-
ing the fact that the Great Northern
is a corporation of tlie State of Minne-
sota and that its original authorized
capital .stock was $30,000,000. that be-
ing the limit fixed by its charter,
says: "That between Feb. 1, 1890.
and March 1, 1906, the defendant
made si^veral large increases of its
capital stock until on March 1, 1906.
its capital stock aggregating sub.stan-
tially $150,000,000; that all of thest
increases were first made with appli-
cation to and obtaining tlie consent of
the railroad and warehouse commis-
sion of the State of Minnesota as re-
quired by chapter 266 of the genera,
laws of 1887, general statutes of 1894,
sections 2739-4 2 and revised lawe
1905, section 2872; that prior to Dec.
11, 1906, the defendant determined to
increase its capital stock to $210,000,-
000 by an additional issue of $60,000,-
000, notice of which was served on its
stockholders by its president, James
J. Hill, who invited them all to sub-
scribe for their pro rata share of same;
that the defendant's officers are novi
preparing to sell and issue this stock
to its .stockholders of record on its
books of Jan. 4. 1907. and who have
duly subscribed there for prior to that
date."
The petition declares that all nec-
es-sary arrangements for the issue and
sale of the slock had been made.
The bill of complaint further states
that, unless prevented by injunction,
the defendant will issue and sell the
stock without first applying to and
procuring the consent of the state rail-
road and warehou.se commi.ssion and
will thereby deprive the state and its
officers of the right and opportunity
of investigating the
issue and examining
ety and purposes of
which the complaint
to the state laws.
The bill further says: "If the de-
fendant increases its stock as now
propo.'ied the aggregate of the capital
wUl be $210,000,000. That the de-
fendant has been and is now paying
annual dividends at the rate of 7 per
, cent on all of its capital stock and
! will pav dividends at the same rate
on all o"f its present capital stock, and
I proposes to and will pay dividends at
I the same rate on all of its present cap-
I ital stock and the proposed increase.
i if this increase is consummated as now
intended. That this increase of $60-
000,000, if effected, will therefore in-
crease the fixed annual charges of the
defendant by the sum of $4,200,000, a
great portion of which will have to bt
paid by the defendant's Minnesota
patrons as charges on freight and pas-
senger traflic local to Minnesota. And
that if these plans are consummated
they will be effected without the sur

The bill alleges that the reasons

Minnesota and that tliey are
of the necessity and propriety

The bill sets forth that if the
fendants .should make due application

MAN HUNT IN THE ALP.S.
A brigand wlio has for a year terror-
ized the region about Lake Maggicre in
the north of Italy has just been cap-
tured after a hard hunt and .a desper-
.ite fight. He Is Giuseppe Creaiini and
he has been living In a hut which ho
built for liimself at an elevation of
6,680 feet, near the summit cif Monto
Zeda, one of the mountains of the Le-
poitine Alps, says the New York Sun.
From this vantage point he made
frequent descents upon all the sur-
rounding valleys and always got away
safely with his plunder tiirougli his
knowledge ot tlie forests and rocky
fastnesses of the mountainside. He
held the local authorities in absolute
contempt.
Often when they were toiling through
the wilds in the belief that they were
on his trail he would be down in the
lowlands making love to some farmer's
daughter, thus gaining access to her
fathers house, sizing up its contents
and forming Ills plans to loot it.
At last the local police calUd for
governmental help .and twelve men
were selected to make a systematic
hunt for Creaiini. Dressed as guides
hut armed with rifles and revolvers,
they started in pairs to beat the for-
est.
They soon found traces of the brigand
and one day actually caught sight of
him, but by his s'lperlor agility he got
some lead on them and then by setting
fire to the dry underbrush he managed
to cover all traces of his flight. An
extensive stretch of woodland was
burned over before the Are could be
checked.
/New efforts were made and finally
parties of soldiers were sent up the
mountain from .'ill sides so as to hem
him in. As they approached within 660
feet of his hut, he spied them and
opened fire.
The bullets went over their head?, but
as they drew ne.Hrer they saw tliat his
nut was pirrecd v.^lth loopholes and
g;»ve every Indication of being pre-
pared for a siege. The soldiers found
cover behind rocks and began siiootlng
in return, licping that a lucky shot
would hit tlielr man.
It was late in the afternoon when
the siege began and the soldiers real-
ized that if they remained until dark
they would have to stay all night, and
staying nil night practically amounted
to freezing to death. Indeed, not being
accustomed to the exposure, their aim
soon became unsteady as they shivered
in the keen mountain blasts. They
were at their wits' ends when sudden-
ly, .after a specially lieavy volley, the
brig.and's fire ceased.
The soldiers suspected a strategem
and waited. As nothing happened, they
plucked up courage for a dash to storm
the house. Tliey came on unhindered.
They smashed in the door and rushed
into the single room. The terrible rob-
ber lay on the floor unconselous. A
bullet had struck him on the head and
knocked him insensible, but glancing:
I off the bone, had inflicted nothing
j worse than a scalp wound. When he
came to, Creaiini found himself tied
hand and foot and altogether at the
! mercy of his captor.".
On searcliing the hut the storming
I party found si considerable sum of
j money and a great hoard of valuables,
! besides provisions, including delicacies
sufficient for m.any weeks sub8i.>^tence
for the brigand. They also found a
I great bundle of love letters written by
some fifteen or twenty of the prettiest
women and girls in the surrounding
valleys.
As Creaiini recovered consciousness,
his only remark was:
"Well, gentlemen, I think I've given
you good sport hunting over this nio\in-
tain, and wasn't that a pretty fight?"

Firemen InMrumental in

Families.
Smallpox Patient Causes
Scampering at Police
Station.
Duty kept the fi:.:emen at the West
Duluth fire hall at their posts all day
yesterday, althougli there was not a
single call, and they made merry with
a Christmas tree and took up a collect
tion for an impoverished widow, who
with several children was in almost
destitute circumstances.
In front of the fire hall, the men
suspended a tin pail from three brooms
and they pounded on an old saw whe-^
pedestrians passed. Their methods
resembled those of the Salvation Army
on collecting funds for Its Christmas
dinner for the poor.
Some people in passing the fire hall
thought that the firemen were solicit*
ing funds for their own use, and that
it was a "hold-up," but such was not
the case at all. The firemen got a good
deal of fun out of it, and only those
West Duluuthians whom they knew
were stopped and asked to put some-
thing in the pall.
Nearly $10 was pt;t In the pall during
the day, and the firemen all con-
tributed something from their o\\ti
pockets, to give (rirristmaa cheer in
one or two West T'uluth homes where
they knew it was sadly lacking.
Each contributot received a cigar
from the oflficial flrehall box, and
mast of them stayed around to watch
the fun when the T-ext man whom the
fireboys knew passfd.
In their quarters upstajrs. the fire-
men had arranged' a tiny Christmas
tree, festooned with candles and knick-
knacks. About Lliei base were dis-
tributed the gifts svhich the men ex-
changed among tftertiselves. All of
them were trinkets,; and behind the
tender of each a joke, each was
significant of soirt^i whimsicality.
One fire fighter who Is a ski en-
thusiast, received a tiny pair of skis.
Another who disseminates a weird
yarn about a raliljlt to those who
will believe and ^aSse who will not,
was tlie recipient of a tiny rabbit's
foot. All of the otiier trinkets were
appropriate, and a good laugh went
with each.
CAUSES SGtMPERING.
Gust Anderson Appeirs at Police Station
With Smallpox.
Gust Anderson cz.uscd a scampering
among the hangers-on at. the West Du-
luth police station this morning, when
he appeared, suffering with smallpox,
Anderson has been working in a
camp at Biwabik i.nd, feeling ill this
morning, consulted a physician. The
doctor told him to g:o to the police sta-
tion and there aw.iit his orders. Mr.
Anderson did as he was told.
He calmly walked into the station
and. upon inquiry, said that he thought
he had the smallpox and opined that a
doctor he had consulted thought the
same thing.
That was enough. All those who
were not tied down to the police head-
quarters by dutj-. acompUshed a re-
treat, double-quick time. The Herald
man vaulted the partition between the
police .department's stable and that
used by the fire department, without
the aid of a pole or other device. .Sev-
eral firemen who witnessed the feat
were loud in their praise of his work.
Others, who were in the station when
Mr. Anderson calUd. made their ex-
its in almost as quick time, being
careful to select a route that did not
take them toward the man with the
smallpox.
Further examinations by physicians
proved conclusively that Anderson had
the smallpox, and he was turned over
to the health department officials, for
detention at the pest house.
Some one around at the time de-
clared that smallpox in its early stages
was not contagious, but those who
made the quick getaway declared that
there was no need cif taking chances.

THREE MILLION MILES.
Will Have Been Covered by Stevens When
He Reaches Liverpool.
New York, Dec. 26. — When the Lu-
cania of the Cunard line, which sailed
for Liverpool last Saturday, reaches
her destination, her chief wine stew-
ard, Harry Stevens, will have rounded
out his one thousandth trip across the
Atlantic — 3,000,000 miles of sea.
Forty-two years which he has spent
in going back and forth across the
Atlantic would, if he had been circling
the globe, have carried his around the
earth 120 times. Had his journeylngs
been through space the extent of them
would be equal to six round trips to
the moon.
Stevens, who is now in his sixty-
fourth year, has been in the service
of the Cunard Line for the last 42
years, 30 of these later ones being in
the capacity of wine steward. Ht
knows the favorite beverages of all the
old patrons of the line, and boasts that
he can frequently tell who is on board
bj' the orders which reach him In the
wineroom.
He has sailed on every ve.s.sel which
the Cunard Line has brought out since
the early sixties. He was on tht
Scotia in 1866 when that vessel estab-
lished a record of eight days, two
hours and forty-eight minutes. He
was on the Oregon when she went
down off the Hook in collision with
a schooner.

the consul at the port from which he
I sailed for America, asking information
, as to the amount of money that the
] young man had w^hen he left Bohemia.
j The coroner' jurj- found that the
! j-oung man had come to his death by
jumping from the window of a hos-
pital while he was delirious. It is th?
impression among the relatives of
Sayka, who live here, that the young
man had $1,000 in his possession when
he reached Chicago. It is said that
the money was sewed into the lining
of his vest and that this garment
shows signs of having been cut with
a knife.
It is believed here that Sayka was
attacked by robbers, beaten over the
head until he became insensible and
then robbed nf his money. The beat^
Ing is believed to have caused the de-
lirium during which he jumped from
the window of the hospital to which
he had been taken.
BRYCE TELLS

New Ambassador to

Aberdeen, Scotland, Dec. 26.— James
Brj'ce, who is to succeed Sir Morti-
mer Durand as British ambassador
at Washington, has given hla con-
stituents here the first definite infor-
mation of his selection for the Wash-
I ington post in a letter. In which he
said that the appointment would com-
pel him to give up his seat for South
Aberdeen. His retirement causes gen-
uine regret, as his scholarly qualities
made him peculiarly qualified to rep-
. resent the constituency, which has
; the reputation of being the most
intellectual in the United Klngdomi,
'. Aberdeen enjoying the unusual dis-
I Unction of not having one illiterate
; voter.

Whole Town of Ulen Nearly Wiped Oat
by Flames.
Moorhead, Minn., Dec. 26. — The en-
tire town of Ulen, which Is located in
the northeastern part of Clay county,
has been almost entirely wiped out by
I fire. All of the business section was
\ destroyed and only the hardest kind
of work on the part of the volunteer
fire department saved the residence
portion from destruction.
The fire broke out about midnight
In the store of Heimark & Moebeck,
I originating, it is believed, from a de-
fective flue. The flames had gained
I considerable headway before they
I were discovered and when the alarm
was turned in the volunteer firemen
I were powerless to save this and ad-
joining buildings. Eight business
houses were swept away by the flames
entailing a loss estimated at J40,000.
About $20,000 insurance was carried
on building and stocks.
Ulen is in the extreme northeastern
part of Clay county on the Grand
Forks branch of the Northern Pacific.
It has a population of about 300. The
bu-slness men whose property was de-
stroyed announced their Intention of
at once rebuilding.

GOT A DIVORCE.
still Marty is Wedded-Strange Exper-
ience of an Ohio Man.
Toledo, Ohio. Dec. 26. — Michael
Marty has been granted a divorce
from a woman he married years ago
in Wheeling. W. Va., when he was
15 years old. He was locked up and
told he was the father of the
woman's child, and was released to
have the ceremony performed. The
woman left him after the ceremony
and he has never seen her since.
He did not know he was married,
and two years ago he wedded a
Defiance (Ohio) girl. A man from
Wheeling saw him and explained his
predicament, whereupon he filed suit
for divorce from the first wife.
Marty's experience Is novel in that
although he was divorced he Is still
married.

Many Divisions of State
Now Have No Rep-
resentative.
Primary System Cliecks
Old System of Divid-
ing Up Places.
City and Country Dis-
tricts May Also be
Made Distinct.
St.- Paul, Dec. 27. — (Special to The
Herald.) — When the re-apportionment
of the legislative districts shall come
before the next legislature many
changes are expected, especially in the
direction of assuring some representa-
tion to every county in the state. One
plan suggested Is to have at least one
representative from each county,
whether the county be large or small.
At present eleven counties have no
separate representation in the legisla-
ture while thirty-three have no sen-
ator and twenty-one no representa-
tive. In a district having more than
one representative, the distribution is
often a matter of chance, especially
since the Introduction of the primary
election law.
Some districts that have more than
one representative have been divided —
the Thirty-fourth senatorial, for in-
stance, being separated Into three dis-
tricts, each electing its own represen- !
tiitive — but other districts that have |
more than one representative elect ;
them at large. In the Fifty-seventh
district, Stevens county has both rep-
resentatives. Grant the senator and
Traverse nothing. In the Forty-fifth
Anoka has the senator, Sherburne two
representatives, Isanti one and Mille
Lacs notliing.
In the Fifty-flrst district, which In-
cludes Lake and Cook countie.s and
part of St. Louis county, St. Louis has
the senator and both representatives.
Stearns county has two senators and
three representatives, for .St. Cloud In
that county Is Included with Benton
county in" the Forty-revenrh, and the
senator and representative from that j
district come from the city of S\. ,
Cloud. Cass county is without repre- j

at the meeting of the American Eco-

Civilization and the Birth Rate," Prof.
Edward A. Ross of the University of |
Wisconsin, said in part: i
"A most momentou.s factor in shap- I

dencv in the birth rate of the occl- \

I in 1900 the proportion of children under j
J 5, to women of child bearing age, i
j was only three-quarters of what It was j
! in 1S60. The phenomenon Is due not j
.so much to avoidance or postponement j
of marriage as to wilful restriction of |
the size of the family. The spirit of i
democracy makes every one eager i
to rise In life, and. to the climber,
children appear in the light of a handl-

L.0S Angeles, Cal., Dec. 27.— Col. H.
B. Maxson, vice president of the Na-
tional Irrigation congress, and secre-
tary of the board of education of
Reno, Nev., reported yesterday on his
return from the State of Sonora, Mex.,
the killing of eight Mexicans and
whites at two little stations on the
Cananea, Yaqul River & Pacific rail-
road late Saturday afternoon.
Maxson said that, while his train was
at Lanch, rumors were received that
the Yaquis were upon the war path,
and that the people about the station
and railroad were in danger. The sta-
tion master, a man named Thompson,
belittled the matter, and .said he and his
wife would remain at tneir post. The
train had not left the station more than
an hour when the Yaquis descended on
the place and butchered four people —
Station Agent Thompson and his wife
escaped by boarding a work train that
pulled in just after the four had been
killed, and Thompson and his wife had
■defended themselves back of the bar-
ricaded doors of the station.
The train bearing Col. Maxson and
party continued to a station about
fifteen miles farther along the line and
then, as the signs of the uprising
became more alarming, the party de-
cided to return. The train started
back toward Lancho, and, when it ar-
rived, the station house had been
buiTied and demolished, and the four
corpses lay along the track. The party
stopped a few minutes in the hope that
the survivors might be found and

Michigan Man Fires Two
Charges of Shotgun
at Close Range.
Lansing, Mich., Dec. 27. — As the re-
sult of a quarrel over property mat-
ters, Melvin Conklin went to the house
of his brother, Elbert, a stone mason,
at midnight, called him to the door, and
wounded him with a charge from a
shotgun. He then pursued him into
his bedroom and fired another charge
into Elbert's abdomen, killing him in-
stantly. Mrs. Elbert Conklin ran from
the house in terror and Melvin fired
one shot at her, slightly wounding her
in the arm. Melvin Is under arrest,
and appears to be insane or feigning
insanity.
MANIAC IN SWITCH TOWER
PUTS HOB WITH TRAINS.
New York, Dec. 27. — District At«
torney Jerome has written to D. Cady
Herrick, of counsel for the Mutual
Life Policyholders' association, that
he is now willing to take up the
charges against President Peabody
of the Mutual Life Insurance com-
pany, of coercion in connection with
the election of trustees of that com-
pany.
Tliese charges were brought to the
attention of the district attorney soma
time ago by Mr. Herrick, but Mr.
Jerome refused to act at the time on
the ground that he did not want his
otfice used to infiuence the election of
trustees in the Mutual Life.
The district attorney's letter was
referred by Judge Herrick to John
Dewitt W^arner, chief counsel for
thti policyholders' association, who
handed it to Russell W. Fish, .secre-
tary of the as.sociation. The latter
wrote to Mr. Warner last night:
"As to the attitude of this asso-
ciation In bringing the charges
against Mr. Peabody In October, our
purpose was to prevent the continu-
ing of the crime of coercion of em-
ployes in behalf of the administra-
tion ticket, rather than to bring
about the punishment of a completed
crime after the criminal had profited
to the full thereby.
■'While the puni.shment of the
crime Is important — and the associa-
tion trusts that the district attorney
will take up the matter vigorously — •
nevertheless in view of the fact that
the election is over, and — by Mr.
Jerome's acquiescence — Mr. Peabody
and his fellow lawbreakers have al-

St. Paul, Dec. 27. — (Special to The

In most parts of the state is the cur-
rent report following several turn-
downs of members who sought the
coveted bits of pasteboard.
The three Northern roads, it is said,
have entered into an agreement to is-
sue no pa.sses whatever, and have
turned lown all request's. Those liv-
ing along the line of the Southern
roads have been a little more fortun-
ate, but have had to sign all kinds of
agreements in order to sret transporta-
tion. Only one road, it is reported, is
giving transportation without any re-
strictions.
This means to the average legislator

Of the larger types, collies and pood-

because they always command a good

PENALTIES OF GENIUS.
No great genius, certainly no great
inventor, ever lived who was not sup-
posed to be a little queer by some of
hts fellow men.
Three hundred years before Ste-
phenson perfected his locomotive, says
the Rosary Magazine, a Frenchman,
Salomon de Cans, was immured in the
livinsr tomb of the Blcetre for having
allowed his mind to outstrip the age
In which he lived. Marion de Lorme,
in a letter dated Paris, 1641, tells of a
visit to this institution.
"We were crossing the court." she
writes, "and I. more dead than alive
with the fright, kept close to my com-
panion's side, when a frightful face ap-
peared behind some immense bars,
and a hoarse voice exclaimed: *I am
not mad! I am not mad! I have made
a discovery that would enrich the
country that adopted it.'
•' 'What has .he discovered?" asked
our guide.
" 'Oh!' answered the keeper, shrug-
ging his shoulders, 'something trifling
enough; you would never guess it; it
is the use of the steam of boiling wa-
ter.'
"I began to laugh.
" 'This man,' continued the keeper,
'came from Normandy four years ago
to present to the king a statement of
the wonderful effects to be produced
from his invention. To listen to him
jou would imagine that with steam
you could navigate ships, move car-
riages; In fact, there Is no end to the
miracles which, he insists upon it.
could be performed. The king sent
the madman awav without listening to
him. Finally, finding the poor wretch
forever in his path, and annoyed by his
folly, the cardinal had him shut up in
the Blcetre.' "
HOW THE LEAVES FALL.
The manner in which the leaf falls pro-
ceeds in different trees Is noteworthy,
says the Century Magazine. The ends of
the branches lose their leaves first In
the ash, beech and hornbeam when the
bcdy of the tree is still clothed with
bright foliage.
The poplars and willows have an exact-
ly contrary habit, for when the trunk Is
s\ripped of foliage the branch ends are
still decorated with a few lone leaves
which wave like ragged banners t>eneath
the November skv. It Is rom.irkable how
tenaciously these last leaves cling to the
tossing boughs.
"Don't take a musket to kill a fly."
A very small ad. is for a very small
service.

WANTS SOO
EXTENSION
Si Cloud Desires Du-
luth Line to Pass
Through Town.
The Travel of Woodsmen
Through Duluth is
Very Heavy.
Bt Cloud Is excited over the fact that
a crew of surveyors supposed to be
working on the Soo extension to Duluth
Is now engaged near St. Cloud. The
business Interests of St. Cloud, it ia un-
derstood, will make an effort to have
the new line pass through their town.
The line which the Soo ia expected to
build to Duluth from the main line In
Dakota and Minnesota would run within
a short distance of St. Cloud. Sixteen
Burveyors are now at Royalton, running
the Duluth line through from Belgrade.
The line taps one of the richest agricul-
tural secilona of the state, and St. Cloud
business men see the advantage of having
access to the market which will be opened
when this line Is built.
A number of linea have been run by
the Soo through the northern part of the
state, and It l.s believed that a definite
route has not yet been decided upon. In
addition to the line being run by the
crew at Royalton, It Is understood that
another line has been surveyed from De-
troit, Minn., to Duluih, crossing the Min-
nesota & International north of Brainerd
end not far from Pequot, and another
surveying party Is said to be running a
line through the MlUe Lacs country to
Duluth.
agent at the depot, this morning. "This
Is an ordinary winter's day business for
us. From October until March we are
kept busy with woodsmen, particularly
during the early morning hours, when
the trains leave for the ranges, North-
ern Wisconsin and Michigan points.
"We may sell tickets to one man
eight or ten times during the winter.
The average wood.sman sticks to one
job only long enough to provide money
In a sufficient amount to pay for a
spree In the city, and as soon an he
gets enough money he quits his job
and comes to Duluth. After it Is all
spent he hires out to another company,
or maybe the same one, and Is shipped
out of Duluth again, only to return in,
perhaps, three or four weeks, to go
through with the same operation again.
"Of course, some of the woodsmen are
steadier in their habits, and remain
with one company the entire winter
1 but. a great many of them are almost
1 continually on the go. They come into
Duluth as fast as they are shipped out.
We may provide tickets for 200 one day,
and the same day an enual number may
arrive in town from the logging dis-
tricts."
Railway Club Meeting.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Northern Railway club will be held to-
morrow evening at the Commercial

be a paper on "Relations of the United

Milwaukee, Dec. 27. — Over 1,000
school teachers gathered at the David-

annual meeting of the Wisconsin

paramount importance is a healthy

children might arise from variou.s
causes, such as bad ventilation and
plumbing of buildings insufficient

justed desks, etc. He J.dded: "I sub-

MANY LUMBERJACKS.
Union Depot Force Kept Bi»y Loolting
After Their Wants.
Aa an Indication of the heavy travel
of lumberjacks over the railroads run-
ning In and out of Duluth may be cited
the fact that a party of ninety-eight
left the Union depot for the woods this
morning on a single ticket, and an-
other party of seventy left on anotehr
single ticket for a different logging dis
trict. Besides the.se there were numer-
ou.s smaller partle.".

DEVOTED TO DUTY.
One of Strong Characteristics of Senator
La Loliette.
A few years ago Harper's Weekly
paid this high tribute to Senator Rob-
ert M. La Follette of Wisconsin, who
was then governor of that state:
" 'Badger,' in Its sur<are.stion of never
giving up, js wen as.soclated with the
present governor of the State of W'i.s-
consin. Naturalists describe that ani-
mal as one which is harmless if not
abused, but which resists obstinately
till overpowered and after a brief rest
Is ready for another struggle." This is
certainly descriptive of the governor,
whom the people in their affection de-
light to call 'Bob.' One must admire
his courage, his integrity, his unim-
peachable character and his unfa-
tiguing devotion to his con.scious duty.
He is the ty^o of man whom it is .sat-
isfying to have coming to the top in
politics."
Since that writing Senator La Fol-
lette has come into much higher prom-
inence than he then enjoyed and Is be-
lieved to be de.stined to greater things.
Tomorrow evening Duluth people will
have an opportunit" of haring him,
for he win lecture at the First M. E.
church in the Star Lecture cour.se.
Becomes Suddenly III and Falls on
Street Car Track.
One of Dixon & Lowry's heavy draft
horses collapsed on the street car track
at First street and Third avenue west
this morning, blocking traffic for some
little time.
The horse was one of a team attached
to a heavy work wagon and It became
suddenly ill and fell ai^ross the track. It
was necessary to hitch on another team
of horses to drag the ailing animal to the
side of the road.
Later It was rolled onto a skid and
dragged .T.way.

With this request the state board ot
control in its annual report to Gover-
nor Johnson a-vks that all restrictions
on the sale of binder twine outside of
the state be removed.
The board further asks that the law
authorizing the sale of twine to deal-

twine plant be put in such shape that
it will meet the "trust menace."
The report also urges the governor i
and legislature to investigate the feas-

The product of the twine manuf.ac-

San Francisco, Dec. 27.-The depart-

from Attorney General Bonaparte, has
given ris<» to' a report that the mem-
bers of the local board of education are
to explain their position on the Jap-

belief that a meeting of all parties
upon a common ground might lead to
a compromise.
The position taken by the board does
not seem to favor a proposition of the
kind. According to President Allman,
"there Is nothing to compromise," he
adding: "Debate on the question will
not produce any change and a con-
ference at Washington could not
modify the law under which the board

Joe Gerlack and Matt Wagner of

hunting experience a few days ago.
They were driving across the prairie
in a buggy and saw a wolf, to which
they gave chase, one of the men driv-

chance to shoot. In the chase a prairie
chicken was scared up, and the hunter
with the gun took a shot at it, killing
the bird, which fell in the buggy as
they drove under it with the horses
on the run after the wolf.

Tvette Guilbert whose exquisite
French daintiness enthralled some few
Duluth people last autumn has re-
turned to Paris and been interviewed.
Among other things Mme. Guilbert
eays that she made a financial suc-
cess, and she noticed a growing ap-
preciation in taste and understanding
In regard to good and bad things
theatrical in this country.
And then she says of conditions in
America;
•'The hotel clerk frequently treats
you with lofty indifference that seems
to indicate that lie Is condescending
In receiving you and attending to
your wants. I go into a drug store for
a drink. The chemists' shops over
there are the ladies' cafes, and the
young man behind the counter serenely
remains in his place. He does not
seem to know or care whether there is
a customer in sight or not. He does
i.ot want to be bothered.
"The same lack of politeness per-
vades all the public systems over there
In the railway cars, the street cars,
the theaters. In all places where
foreigners notice it mo.st. It almost
amounts to a lack of civilization."
Gullt>ert. too! One thought that the
lofty hotel clerk and the proud and
haughty servant of the public that
stands behind a counter reserved those
manners that make one feel like a blot
on the earth, simply and entirely for
the humble and simple yourself.
But Guilbert! Sho of the fascinating
tip tilted chin and easy assurance! She
who can of all the people you know
sing enchantingly without much voice,
and become master of the situation in
which slit- tinds herself with such ease
end grace and aploml> — she, too, was
equclched by the American hotel clerk.
She too was made feel her obtrusive-
ness while he glanced languidly at her
and raised his eylids slowly, but gave
no impression of having seen her; she
too was made feel that It was real
nice of him to bother with her simple
requests fur which she was paying
J5 or $10 a day. Except for the na-
tional shame that she should have been
bothered with such things, one could
almost be glad that the haughty
jrentleman was not reserving his con-
descension entirely for one's self.
After experiencing tlie discomfiture
of waiting around on first one foot
and then the other while a young
gentleman clerk attends to manicure
details that should be done In private
or while one longingly eyts the onveted
article for which one is in a hurry,
vhile two perfect free-and-equal ladies
behind the counter exchange con-
fidences mid then one is waited upon
feeling all the time that it is a shame
to compel such haughty creatures to
eerve one, or If one has had one'.s
eimple requests entirely ignored by
the public servitors, or one has had
to side step out of the way on the right
of the walk while the dignity of the
law in a fur coat goes majestically on.
then when one remembers all this and
finds that Guilbert had to stand It
Just the same, one Is comforted In
part by reilection that all this con-
descension is not a unique experience
of one's own, but a simple evidence
Of the manners of the American public.

ahead. The bacon is good and not too
awfully rich and the very difference of
taste will provide a welcome change.
For luncheon a dish of rice and
cheese might eat well. The rice Is
boiled and then mixed wit ha lot of
grated chee.se, two or three eggs if your
corner of the copper market is firm,
and your tastes extravagant, some bits
of butter and a little cream and then
the concoction Is spread on pie tins
and placed in the oven just long
enough to cook the egg and it tastes
rather good and sort of different.
But, lemons and grape fruit and
rather tart oranges are receiving the
greatest call by the market man these

she would be perfectly happy even in
the good place if she knew. I was alius
such a home person, an' she took sucli
delight in makin' home the plea.santest
place on earth for me. This ain't home
for me. I'm downright sorry I ever sold
that home an' put the money into Hugh's
place here In consideration o' him an'
Lyddy givln' me a home for life. It's a
foolish barirain for an old person to make
—'specially when they are in good health
an' no older than I be."
A feeble smile of comfort came Into
the tear-stained old face as he said: 'But
I've got ahead of 'em in one way. I've
got $350 in the bank that they ain't goin'
to know a thing about. I had that much
saved up an' in the bank when I sold my
place, an' I'm thankful I had sense
enough to keep my mouth shet about it.
An' yet I don't dare draw an' spend a
cent o' it, or they'd be fierce to know
where I got the money. But who cares
what Hugh and Lyddy say? I don't! Drat
'em! I'm goin' to fetch out some papers
an' my pipe, an* one o' Myra's pies that
.she told me not to touch, an' a piller, an'
Just lay 'round on the grass an' enjoy
myself all day. I been under the lion's
paw long enough."
Two hours later the old man was In
the full enjoyment of his bold defiance
of Hugh and Lyddy. He was sitting In
the shade, with his t)ack to tlie apple tree,
his pipe in his mouth, anu In full enjoy-
ment of a book he had long wanted to
find time to read, when he heard the gate
creak on its hinges.
Looking up, he saw a small, alert-look-
ing woman of perhaps W odd years of
age entering the gate. She wore a clean
but faded calico dress, and she had a
stiffly starched blue-and-whlte gingham
sunbonnet on her head. The sunbonnet
was lined with jUnk. that gave a rosy
glow to the face within. It was a kindly
face, with fewer lines and shadow.s in it
than one usually sees In the faces of
women of her years. The people in the
neighborhood said that Thyrza I.^dd
•'kept her youth wonderfully." She had a
light, springy step, and a singularly child-
ish voice. Jason Bartlett sprang to his
feet when he saw her.
••Why. Thyrza Ladd!" he said. "Is this
you? I reckoned I was the only person
in this neighborhood who hadn't gone to
the fair."
••Well, you see you are not, Jason. I
didn't go because— well, to tell the out-
and-out truth, Jason, I just didn't have
anything suitalile to wear. I'd like to
have gone to the fair if It had been so
that I could. But 111 tell you what I

He put his arnr around Thyrza'a waist
and kissed her boldly befero adding:
"Now, there alYi't a thing to be said by
either o' you. You'd best drive on; for
It's gettin' late, an' you'll have all your

Ho waved his hand as he sj)oke, and
Hugh and l^yddy, too dazed for further
words, drove on. There was a slightly
malicious smile on Jason's face as he
called out after the retreating wagon: "I
never pulled a blamed weed out o" that
flower-bed, Lyddy. an' the cellar is Just
as you left It!"
They walked hand In hand up the path
toward the house between long rows of
flowers Thvrza loved so well. Jason
stooped and broke off a belated pink rose,
and thrust it into Thyrza's shining gray
hair, saying: "It just matches your
cheeks— honey."

There was gathering gloom on the face
of the little old man standing at th^
barn yard gate as he listened to these
words from his son and daughter-in-law.
They and their three rosy and happy chil-
dren were about to drive away to attend
the "big day" at the county fair over in
Hadley, six miles distant, and the old
man was to be left at home to "look
after the place." '
This duty had fallen to the old man's
portion every time his son Hugh and his
family had gone anywhere for the past
six months. He had acquiesced meekly
enoug;h. but there was always a spirit of
rebellion in his lieart.
T am alway.s left at home to look

I b'heve that Hugh an* Lyddy reely plume
themselves on bein" mighty gen'rous be-
cause they 'give me a home.' As if I
didn't more than pay my way! Made
a hand in the hay field all summer. No-
bo<lv gives me a home! I earn one, by
Joe!"
He held his head ereot and squared his
sloping shoulders. There was a sudden
concentration of all his will-power, and
his voice sounded harsh and sti-ained as
he said aloud: "I sha'n't do a mite o"
work this day— blamed if I do! I don't
care what Hugh and Lyddy say when
they come home! I'll give 'em as good
as they send if they say much to me! If
I had fit things to wear I'd dress up an'
go to the fair, but as It Is. I'll just lazy
'round the place all day, an' have that
much of a good time."
He thrust his hand Into his pocket and
drew forth an old leather wallet, which
he opened. There was nothing in it but
a two-dollar bill and some old newspaper
clippings. The old man looked at the
money and said a little bitterly: "That's
all I have left o' my last quarter's pen-
sion money. The rest o' It went for the

goes. Just as soon as I get my pension
money a lot o' new things are needed,
an' Hugh an' Lyddy think I don't need
any money, as I am so well provided for
here. Provided for! Humph!"
A grim smile came into the wrinkled,
sunburned old face as he gave vent to
this bit of sarcasm. He left the gate
and walked with an unusually firm step
to the open barn door, where he picked
up a straw and in a reflective mood be-
gan to c4iew it. His mind barkened back
old bossy out of her trouble.'
"Why, o' course, I will, Thyrza."
"I knew that you would, Jason. I
couldn't help knowing that, seeing that I
have known you all my life. You see, I
should be dreadfully bad off If I should
loose my cow. I depend largely on her
and my hens for my Income. You know
my husband was sick so long before he
died that it took all we had saved to
give him what he needed. But I'm only
grateful that we had it to spend for his
comfort, and that I at least have my little
home free from debt. I have thought
some of selling It and going to live with
my married daughter over in Hebron. She
wants me to, and—"
"Don't you do It. Thyrza Ladd!'' ex-
claimed the old man vehemently, almost
fiercely. "You stick to your own little
home. I tell you, Thyrza, there's nothing
like a home o' their own for old folks."
Jason seemed to have lapsed into a
thoughtful mood. They were about to
emerge from the strip of timber Into the
open highway, when Jason stopped
abruptly, took off his shabby old hat and
held it as he said: "See here, Thyrza,
we've known each other all our lives, now,
haven't we? You never knowed no great
harm o' me. now, did you?"
"Why. no, Jason; I've always thought
that—"
"What have you thought?"
"Oh. no matter." She blu.«ihed, and
started on. but Jason detained her.
"Wait a minute, Thyrza." he said. "I
used to think that If I hadn't gone over

Dear Mrs. Telford:
Will you kindly give me a recipe for
chicken salad for about thirty people,
and oblige A. M. B.
Two good sized chickens will make
enough salad for thirty people If the
helpings are not too Kenerous.
If you wish to give large portions,
the chicken may be reinforced with a
little cold roast pork or veal, or use
three medium slzeil fowls. These
should be specially toiled for chicken
salad and seasoned Avhile cooking. Do
this the day before you are to use the
salad and let the fowls cool In the wa-
ter In which they were cooked. This
makes the flesh much more juicy and
delicate. Having carefully cleaned the
chickens, put into a kettle and cover
with boiling water, adding two
chopped onions, a tsaspoonful celery
seed, a tablespoonfqi peppercorns and
three bay leave*. ♦
Cook rapidly for live minutes after
the water resunaes boiling, skim, then
push back on the range where the
water will simply dimmer until the
chicken Is tender, bbt not "raggedly."
Cool In the pot of liquor. The next
day remove the chickens and take the
fle.sh from the bon(*:?. both light and
dark, though If properly cooked the
dark meat will be almost as light as
the breast. Put aside all fat and skin
and cut the meat Into dice. Measure,
then alow two-thirds the quantity of
crisp white celery cut in pieces of thtt
same size. Make a ?ood stiff mayon-
naise, using the yolks of four eggs, a
pint and a half of olive oil, four table-
spoonfuls vinegar, four tablespoonfuls
lemon juice, a teaspoonful mustard, a
teaspoonful each salt and sugar and a
half teaspoonful pepper.
Moisten the chicken with some of
the stock In which it was cooked. Mix
chicken and celery together, and to
each quart add a teaspoonful salt, half
oven with caramel sauce or sugar and
cream.
Savories, as the English understand
them, are not a part of the ordinary
American dinner.
A morsel of cheese frequently con-
cludes a repast, biit the .savory bout of
caviare, devilled biscuit, grilled mush-
rooms, flsh roes or dried fish does not
precede the des.sert save as cheese or
cheese biscuit or fingers accompany
the salad course.

Food Served iii Ramekin Cases.
Dear Mrs. Telford:
Will you tell me what dishes are
served In ramekin cases besldeh
chicken and fish creamed? Also if
sweets can be .served in them. Do
savories form a part of the American
menus? I found the casserole recipes
most excellent, also souffle balls.
N. N.
Any dish of the nature of a souffle
Is particularly good cooked in rame-
kins. This may be of meat of any sort,
fish, game, cheese, and puddings.
Sweetbreads, macaroni, spaghetti, cau-
lillower, tomatoes, or anything else au
gratln, devilled mixtures and curries,
certain fricassees and stews and for
all escallops, the ramekin Is invalu-
able.
Terrapin, oysters and mushrooms,
eegs and hash, rice and bread and
tapioca puddings may all be cooked in
various ways in ramekins. A few
recipes for ramekin dishes taken at
random are these:
ment and Is suitable as well for the
smaller teas and receptions. Then,
too, black Is not readily remembered,
but In velvet is at all times conspicu-
ously handsome. Sapphire blue, rich
purple and deep claret color are all
to be seen in velvet this year, and
make most effective calling and re-
ception costumes, while the lighter
shades, as said above, are reserved
more for the house and for evening
wear.
Velvet Is too heavy for the true
Empire style, but much modified this
model Is most attractive for a recep-
tion gown. The dress should be
trimmed in some way with lace and
embroidery, the waist line being dis-
tinctly shown In front and on the
sides by a fitted satin belt, which in
back is drawn up slightly above the
loose folds or plaits of the material,
which falling loose to the hem give
the Empire effect. For this style of
gown the jacket should be short,
either an embroidered btilero or .some
short Empire jacket opened up high
in back so as not to interfere with
the loose plaits of velvet in the gown.
The sleeves are quite short in all Em-
and braiding.
Chiffon velvet, because It Is of
lighter weight and also easier to trim
and drape becomingly, is used a great
deal for evening wear. A velvet
gown may be made on some ex-
tremely simple model, with only a
touch of rich lace at the decolletage.
One exceptionally handsome afternoon
gown was of sapphire blue velvet,
made princess and absolutely plain,
relieved only by a deep Irish lace
collar, which fell almost to the waist
line covering sleeves, yoke and, In
fact, the entire bodice. There is no
better use for a handsome lace collar
than to put Is on over a simply made
velvet gown, for lace and velvet each
enhances the effect of the other.

Meeting is Held by De-
partment Chiefs of
Federal Building.
A meeting of the department chiefs
at the Duluth federal building was
held yesterday afternoon under a call
of L. ■ M. WlUcuts, the custodian, and
the removal of the various depart-
ments, which will soon be necessary
according to a communication received
from Washington, to allow the im-
provement of the building, was talked
over.
All of the department records must
be kept safe and intact and on this
account it will be necessary to secure
a building which will be -practically
fire proof and one having suitable
vaults. It will probably be impossible
to secure a building which will be
large enough to accoiiimodate all the
offices, and it Is likely that they will
be more or less scattered about the
citi.
Many of the offlces are already
crowded, this being especially the
case in the land department since the
consolidation with the Duluth office
of the St. Cloud land office. Several of
the other ofllces are already badly
crowded, and It will be a hard task to
find a building or buildings which
will suit the needs of the government.
Another meeting of the heads of the
departments is being held this after-
noon at the federal building and a
communication will probably be direct-
ed to the authorities at Washing-
ton requesting that the present plans
for an addition on the rear of the
present building be laid aside and only
the one story addition be erected and
the remainder of the money be used
to applj' on a site for a new building,
for the use of some of the depart-
ments that are now overcrowded.
This communication would be In the
form of a petition and will probably
attract the attention of the officials in
charge at Washington to the actual
needs of the city of Duluth.

THE SENATE "COMBINE.
There are numerous unpleasant rumors afloat about
the make-up of the new state senate, and about the for-
mation of a new senate -combine" to replace the old
one, most of whose members dropped out at the recent
election for one cause or another, but mostly because
the people were "next" to them.
Perhaps it will be just as well to reserve judgment
until there is more tangible evidence than that of rumor
that there is a new "combine" to control legislation in
the interests of the corporations. It will be easy enough
to spot it if there is one. The people are going to watch
proceedings this winter much more closely thaii they
ever did before, and they are going to view with no
kindly eye any evidence that there are men elected by the
people who are seeking to serve other interests than
those of the people.
In the last senate there was a hard and fast com-
bination that was able to absolutely control all legisla-
tion of moment. Not a single measure of any real bene-
fit to the people, and of any real menace at all to the
unfair interests of the corporations, was able to crowd
its way through the blockade.
The history of the reciprocal demurrage bill is a case
in point. There was probably no measure before the
last session that had so much public sentiment back of
it as this one. In spite of determined opposition, it was
pushed through the house by an overwhelming vote and
sent over to the senate, where it was referred to the
railroad committee.
For weeks the railroad committee kept it, and final-
ly, when the end of the session was so near that there
was no time for another fight, the committee reported
out a bill with substantially the same title, but contain-
ing nothing that would tend in any way to attain the
ends sought by those back of the reciprocal demurrage
bill. It was a joke, a ghastly joke, that bill, and by its
substitution the real reciprocal demurrage bill was
shelved as completely as though it had been formally
voted down. ^
Of course this action put an end to the campaign
for reciprocal demurrage for that session, because there
wasn't time enough left to make another attempt.
There is merely one instance of the workings of the
senate combine. It was in control of the leading com-
mittees, and real reform legislation stood no more show
of passage than a bill abolishing the tariff would have
of passinR the United States senate. The house wanted
to regulate railroad mileage books, making them trans-
ferable and requiring the railroads to issue them in 500-
mile lots. The senate combine evolved a substitution
bill which looked pretty well, but which didn't cut the
slightest bit of figure anywhere when it went into effect.
Much rests with the lieutenant governor, who frames
the senate committees. The future reputation of Lieu-
tenant Governor Eberhart rests on the disposition he
makes of his leading committee appointments.
HOW IT WORKS.
Since women's suffrage is more or less a live ques-
tion, so long as there are many women and some men
who think women ought to be admitted to the polls on
the same terms as men, there is much interest in observ-
ing the way equal suffrage works in states where it has
been adopted.
The North American Review publishes a digest of the
observations of Lawrence Lewis, a close student of
political conditions, who has been watching women's
suffrage in Pueblo, Colo., the second largest city in the
state. Perhaps of first importance is his discovery that
the prediction that women would not avail themselves
of this privilege was mistaken; because since 1894 the
women have never cast less than 40 per cent of the total
vote of the state, and sometimes they have cast more
than 48 per cent.
To determine the character of the new political force
Mr. Lewis selected fourteen representative precincts
and divided each into eigiit residence districts, ranging
from that known as the best to that known as the lowest,
containing the worst saloons and brothels. He found
that the women in the better districts voted more large-
ly than those in the worst. Taking four of the best dis-
tricts, inhabited by the rich, well-to-do, small trades-
men, mechanics, clerks, superintendents, engineers, etc.,
he found that in a total vote of 1,707, there were 986 men
and 721 women, the women forming 42 per cent of the
whole.
Again, taking four of the poorer districts, inhabited
by common laborers, Slavs, Italians, and residents of
cheap lodging houses, brothels, saloons, etc., out of a
total vote of 1,222 there were 785 men and 435 women,
the women forming 35 per cent of the whole against 42
per cent in the better sections.
The percentage of registered votes polled w'as higher
in the better sections than in the poorer, ranging from 77
per cent in the very best down to 53 per cent in the
very lowest.
This is interesting in view of the common prediction
that the respectable women will stay aw^ay from the polls
and that onlj- disreputable women will actually exercise
their privilege of voting.
One claim made for women's suffrage is that it will
improve conditions about the polls, and this Mr. Lewis
does not find to be the case. There was little change for
the better in the conduct of polling places, though he
admitted that at those in the most turbulent districts
men, while continuing to wear hats and to use tobacco
freely, did perhaps swear a little less. In the best city
precincts and a large majority of country precincts "the
order is perfect." That, however, is usually the case
whether the women vote or not.
As to bribery and corruption, Mr. Lewis says that
they have been rife in Colorado cities so long that the
SETTLING STATE LANDS.
The Cass Lake Times suggests that the legislature
should submit a constitutional amendment providing for
opening the remaining public lands of the state to set-
tlement on terms similar to those offered by the federal
government on its public lands.
The suggestion is pertinent and valuable, and while
it is extremely doubtful whether it will be possible
to induce the legislature to see it that w^ay, in the opinion
of The Herald it would be to the interests of the state
to follow out this plan, which would result in quickly
peopling the vacant lands of the state with sturdy settlers
who will till the soil, add to the state's wealth, and help
bear the burden of taxation.
As the constitution stands now, none of this land
can be sold for less than $5 per acre. Besides, there are
interests that are determinedly lighting to keep it off the
market even at this rate or two or three times as much.
The St. Paul Pioneer-Press has recently suggested that
the state ought to quit selling its lands, and that it should
hold them until they are worth $30 or $40 an acre, as
though idle lands, that are holding back the development
of a large area of the state, could ever reach such values.
The only way to make them valuable is to put them to
use, and the price the state receives for them is not half
so important a matter as that they should be settled.
The state would be ahead if it gave the lands away out-
right, though nobody asks it to do that.
The best way to settle up Northern Minnesota would
be to offer the state's lands for homestead entry, title to
be conveyed free of cost after a certain period of steady
residence upon the property, or for a consideration of
$1.25 per acre after a certain shorter period of resi-
dence. This would not turn so much money into the
school fund as it would to sell all these lands for $40 an
acre, but the first plan will settle up the vacant lands
quickly, and the latter plan will never settle them at all.
It seems to be hard to convince other parts of the
state of the advantage of this plan, though it is worth
trying once more at the coming session of the legislature.
If it fails, a compromise should be made upon some
plan that will open for speedy settlement all state lands
upon terms as convenient as possible. Any plan that is
adopted should be regulated, of course, to prevent specu-
lators from getting control of the lands and holding them
back for an advance. The state should quit this policy
of holding back state development by keeping its lands
off the market until prices are higher, and it should not
permit private interests to do the same thing.
If the state is to develop, however, these lands must
be settled in some way. The swamp lands must be
drained, some convenient system of disposing of the
public lands should be devised, and an aggressive cam-
paign of advertising for settlers should be taken up.
MORE PENSION MONEY.
Senator McCumber of North Dakota is pressing be-
fore congress a new service pension bill that will largely
increase the expenditures of the pension bureau, and
that will afford increased public aid for thousands of
veterans of the civil war.
The pension rolls are now declining. The ranks are
thinning rapidly, and even if the pension expense should
be increased by Senator McCumber's plan the increase
would only be temporary. It would be but a few years
before the expenses begin to fall off again.
The first great pension law provided aid for those
who were actually disabled in war, and it was not until
1890 that pensions were provided for veterans whose
disabilities originated since the war.
A couple ' of years ago the president, by executive
order, broadened the law of 1890 so as to provide that
it should be deemed a sufficient disability to warrant a
pension if a veteran had reached the age of 62. Senator
McCumber's plan is carrying this idea out on a more
liberal scale.
As it stands now, a Veteran who has reached the
age of 62, whether he can show disability or not, is en-
titled to $6 per month; after he has passed 65 years, this
is raised to $8 per month; after (38 years the veteran is
entitled to $10, and after 70 years he is entitled to the
maximum, $12.
This latter figure is now the maximum for all vet-
erans except those whose disabilities originated in the
service. For the service injuries whose effects still per-
sist there are varying figures, running in some cases to
more than $100 a month. But no matter how helpless a
veteran may be, if his disabilities had other than a
service origin, $12 is the most he can get from the gov-
ernment except through a special act of congress.
Senator McCumber's bill provides that every honor-
ably discharged soldier who served ninety days in the
Civil war and who shall have reached the age of 62
years, shall be entitled to a pension of $12 per month;
at 70 years the pension will be raised to $15 per month,
and at 75 years it will be made $20 per month.
It is probable that the increased appropriation neces-
sary to carry out the provisions of the McCumber bill
would amount to about $11,000,000. The pension rolls
fell off $6,000,000 last year, however, and it is likely
that in a couple of years the new expenditures and the
natural decrease in the number on the rolls would about
hold each other level, so that the present annual expendi-
ture would suffice for several years, after which the rolls
would begin to show an annual decline again.
We shall not have the veterans of the Civil war
with us much longer, and there should be little popular
objection to treating them with generosity while they
are here.

beautiful homes. Along one street alone,
thirty-nine millionaires, most of them
widows have their palaces. It costs as
much to stop at one '.»f the palatial
hotels over night now a3 a whole acre
of its business section cost thirty years
ago. In 1880 the population of the town
was a little more than 3lO; in 1900 about
9,000, and today it is 25.000, not includ-
ing many suburbs.
"But the growUi of Pasadena Is hardly
a marker when comnarel with that of
Los Angeles herself. In IS8O the latter's
population was only :l1,000. and tliat
jumped to 102,000 odd and in 1900 and then
to 250.000 today. With its harbor at
San Pedro, It seems to me the city Is
destined in a short time to become one
of the really great cttien of the world.
Twenty-one miles of new buildings were
erected in Los Angeles last year. How
is that for growth? The ;itatement is not
an exaggerated one. eitlier. for figures
are there to prove this tremendous
growth. It has thIrty-six banks, with
savings and commeieial deposits of $1'X),-
000,000. It is the most remarkable city I
have ever seen, and I have visited some
of the famous cities ol the old world,
too.
"Los Angeles has a Chinatown with a
population which now reaches the i.OOO
mark, according to a kttur I recently
received froan a friend. It used to be
less than that, but 2,00C refugees trora
San Francisco swelled the grand total.
One of the most striking features of
Chinatown Is its tolephaie exchange, it
was with great difficulty that a few
years ago, a few Chlne.se were induced
to put in telephones. Now the Chinese
branch exchange, which has connection
through all the city tei.;phone services,
is one of the busiest ones of the city, io
hear a Chinaman calUng a number is to
catch the refrain of a melodious an-
them."
"Although the matter of simplified
spelling seems disposed of for the pres-
ent it is not untimely to say that if we
apply the question of ccmmon sense to
the preesnt method of upelUng we find
It to be very ridiculous,'' said N. ts.
Warren of Sioux City, Iowa, at the
Lenox. "It is illogical and an endless
nuisance to have six to twelve ways of
indicating the same sound and in J'i«
practical matters of daily life we would
not tolerate such an Inconvemece for an
"Fancy our refusing tj use the mail,
street car or telephone because we were
loath to give up walking. If conven-
ience only were at issue we would have
simplified spelling as quickly a^ we could
reprint the dictionaries and spelling
books. But it simmers down to the fact
that we have other ne^ids besides the
practical ones. These supposed needs
are affections and sentimentai attach-
ments which cannot be violated.
"The English languiig?. as we have
learned It, Is the veliicie of our emo-
tions. We love It as we do our rela-
tives and our life-long friends, and to
change it is to murder It. Although 1
write a shortliand, and have been accus-
tomed to phonetic suflllng for years. I
confess to a feeling of ^ indignation and
repugnance when such monstrosities as
^ruf • 'cum,' 'tho,' -lonetllc,' and the like
are 'thrust upon me. I cannot bring my-
self to use spellings such as these, al-
though reason tells me .t is the Proper
thing to do. It is no more a burden to
me to consult the dictionary than it is
to do anything else I like. „ „„
•'While we should douatless grow ac-
customed to it in time If we had to.
if our spelling were suddenly and rad-
ically ret'ormed. I am sure that I should
f^el one of the treasures of I'f© h^'^
been torn from me. I dare say that tne
majority of persons feel about the mat-
ter the same way I do. although they
may attempt to defend '.heir sentiments
w logic; Our-spelling is a sentimenial
attachment which we can afford to in-
dulge and any change that is made
should be and must be brought about
gradually."

THE WEATHEK..
After a light, downy snowfall yester-
day afternoon, the skies cleared, and
this morning was clear, calm, crisp and
beautiful. Last night the thermometer
got down to 2 degs. above zero, and
yesterday's highest was 30 degs. The
weather man says It will be warmer to-
night, and that tomorrow It will be
again warmer, with probably some
snow.
The sun sets at 4:25 this afternoon,
and rises at 7:54 tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow will have two minutes more
of daylight than the shortest days.
A year ago today It was warm and
threatening, but no snow came.
Says Mr. Richardson of conditions:
"It Is much warmer this morning
throughout the Ohio valley and south-
ern states, due mainly to decreasing
barometric pressure In those districts,
but Jacksonville, Fla., again experi-
enced killing frost last night. The
Minnesota low pressure has moved its
center to Eastern Ontario, attended by
light snow falls in the lake region,
Ohio and Upper Mississippi valleys.
Temperatures are decidedly colder this
morning in Minnesota, the Dakotas,

a big turkey to the one who'd give
the best reason for his being a Republi-
can.
"The first one said, 'I'se a 'Publican

" 'Very good Pete," said I, 'Now. Bill.

" 'Well, I'se a 'Publican kase dey done

" 'Fine!' I exclaimed. 'Now Sam, what

and shifting from one foot to the other—
'boss, I'se a 'Publican kase I wants dat

Adorn their little laps
With ladysmock and violet.
And daisy-chain their caps;
While over orchard daffodils.
Cloud shadows float and fleet.
And ouzel pipes and laverock triUs
And young lambs buck and bleat;
So long as that which bursts the bud
And swells and tunes the rill
Makes springtime in the maiden's blood.

Young Man, Spex;ialize.
Chicago Evening Post: This is the age
of speoialization and the secret of success
in specializing is thoroughness.
The day of the jack-of-all-trades pa.ssed
with the coming of the labor-saving ma-
chinery. Today the man who can "turn
his hand to anything" Is kept so busy
turning that he doesn't stay at any point
long enough to prove his real worth. The
doUared eye that Is searching for special-
ists doesn't follow the erratic orbit of
the young man who tries to hustle in
four different ways at once.
The tremendous aggregate of business
done today throughout the world makes
division and subdivision of talent and
skill and effort imperative. There still
are men who make an entire shoe them-
selves, but they neither own nor manage
a great shoe factory. It is the man who
knows in a general way how a shoe
should be made, but who has specialized
In "uppers" or soles or eyelets, who is
managing the particular department in
the mastery of which he has become un-
commonly proficient through thorough-
ness.
There is scarcely an Industry or a bu.si-
ness left in the world that will pay a
young man to master in Its entirety; but
there is .lo industry or business which
will not pay him well for learning a part
of It as well as It can be learned. Let
him pick his part, according to his in-
clination, guided by sane, far-seeing judg-
ment; let him but devote all his energies
and ability and earnestness to the full
mastery of chosen part, and the whole
vast field of the world of industry is
open to him.
For, paradoxical as It may seem. It us-
ually is the man who has made a con-
spicuous success of one thing— the man
who has specialized— who is asked to take
control of many things.
It is much easier to catch the dollared
eye when you are doing- a specialized
task brilliantly than when you are do-
ing a multiple task indifferently, or even
fairly. Of course, your object is to catch
this eye, and then to hold it. To do the
first you must be at your undivided best;
to do the second you must have reached
vour best through thoroughness— and this
latter Implies faithfulness.
Fashion your best talent Into a single
gem— a stone of the first water in a plain
setting of unalloyed gold. Clustered tal-
ents may sparkle now and then; but for
steady brilliancy nothing can equal the
perfectly polished, firmly set and Judi-
ciously displayed single talent.

old spelling. If the present style of spell-
ing was good enough for our parents
why not good enough for us?

PETITION IS
CIRCULATED
Angus KcCaulcy Alder-
manic Candidate in
Seventh Ward.
;' 'f "if
Petition is Now in Cir-
culation—Result of
Curling.
It was announced before the primary
election was held that a petition would
be circulated among the voters of the
Seventh ward for the purpose of get-
ing the name of Angus D. McCauley
of the West end. on the ticket, as an
independent candidate for alderman,
ftnd this is now in progress.
At the time he announctd that he
Ti'Duld make the run as an independent
candidate about a month ago, Mr. Mc-
Cauley claimed he had been practically
ensured thate nough of the voters would
sign his petition so that his name
Vould be placed on the ballot. A num-
ber of the voters had promised to
sign at that time and from the fact
that there were so few who wen to
the polls on primary day. it looks as
though there would be plenty of names
for the petition.
jrr. McCauicy will have as his op-
ponents A. T. Park on the Republican
ticket and M. J. Filiatrault on the
Democratic ticket. Both of these can-
didates are expected to put up a strong
fight and there will undoubtedly be a
lively throe cornered struggle during
the coming month.

TONY AZZO ACQUITTED
or Assault Upon His Bartender. Alphonse
Jantila, at Eveleth.
Eveleth, Minn., Dec. 27.— (Special to
The Herald.) — Tony Azzo, who was
charged with as.sault and battery said
to have been committ:ed upon the
person of Alphonse Jantila, was Eicquit-
ted in municipal court yesterday. The
row, which was the cause of the ar-
rest, occurred in Azzo's saloon, Dec.
18. The cause of the alleged assault
was the refusal of Jantila, who was
bartender for Azzo, to give Mrs. Azzo
some liquor until he was paid for it.
This refusal resulted in a quarrel be-
tween Mrs, Azzo and Jantila in the
course of which Jantila made a move
as if to throw a glass at Mrs. Azzo,
and Mrs. Azzo ordered him out of
the place. At this juncture Azzo him-
self appeared and, attacking Jantila,
beat him up frightfully, the latter's
face still showing evidence of the en-
counter. The evidence brought out in
the trial showed that Azzo acted in
defense of his wife who is really owner
of the saloon.
Steve James and Charley Williams,
who were arrested for fighting in Matt

used in the encounter.
Coal Fuel Better Than Oil.
An interesting report was recently made
to Washington in regard to the comi)ara-
tlve values of coal and oil as fuel on tor-
pedo boiits. It was proven that a boat
using the former made much better speed
than the one using the latter. It has also
been proven very conclusively that for
curing aliments of the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is a far superior remedy, and as
the tests extend over a period of 53 years,
there is no logical reason why any man or
woman should hesitate in trying it.
Don't hesitate another minute. One
bottle will convince you that it will cure
poor appetite, belching, bloating, sick
headache, nor\'ousness, sleeplessness,
dyspepsia, indigestion, costiveness, fe-
male ills, chills and colds. Ask your
druggist for a free copy of our 1S07 Al-
manac. It will surely Interest you.

REHABILITATION
OF BOSS^ ODELL
Edward H. Harriman Said
to Have Assumed
the Contract
New York, Dec. 27.— The Sun says:
Edward H. Harriman, for half a dozen
years described as a financial backer
and personal friend of B. B. Odell, Jr.,
of Newburgn, formerly Republican
state chairman and governor of the
state, is reported to have said only
a few days ago to a Republican United
Slates senator:
'111 spend ?10,000,000 to rehabilitate
Odeli."
Following quick upon this story (and
it comes from a source entirely re-
liable), was the news that Mr. Odell
is to leave Newburgh for the rest
of the winter and take up his resi-
dence at the Fifth Avenue hotel. Mr.
Odell has engaged apartments at the
hotel which he will occupy with his
wife and daughter for several months.
He Is expected at the hotel this week.
Mr. Odell usually has put up at tho
Fifth Avenue hotel when in town on
business or political matters, but he
has not been accustomed to make his
winter home ttiore.
Senator Piatt for twenty years had his
home at the Fifth Avenue hotel while
Republican leader of the state.
Mr. Odell has taken a hand recently,
fir.«t, in boosting Henry A. Van Alstyno
of North Chatham for state super-
tendent of public works, and when
Governor Hughes declined to appoint
Mr. Van Alstyne, Mr. Odell, along with
others, including Frederick Skene, the
newly elected Democratic state engi-
neer and surveyor, has pushed for-
ward Col. Thomas W. Symons, a resi-
dent of Washington, whom Governor
Odell. on April 14, 1904, made a mem-
ber of the advi.sory board of consult-
ing engineers to progress the work
called for on the canals of the stato
b ythe $101,000,000 act. Col. Symons's
place on the advisory board to be
filled by Mr. Van Alstyne, with Gov-
ernor Hughes' permis.slon.
Mr. Odell is not asleep, said has
friends at the Fifth Avenue hotel last
night. He believes, with Mr. Harri- I
man's help, it was said, that he can [
come back into his kingdom.
Mr. Odell, it was learned, has had
frequent consultations since election '
day with Republicans whom he very j
deeply offended In the eighteen months \
of his short reign at R( publican leader j
of the state, and he has not attempted :
to justify his rough shod methods, but |
has endeavored to pacify those whose
political weasands he had tried to cut.
He believes that Timothy L. Woodruff, j
as chairman of the Republican state
committee, cannot last; that Mr. I
Hughes cannot build up a Republican I
political machine of hi.s own in the
state; that Governor Higgins and his '
friends are water gone over the dam;
that William Barnes, Jr.. of Albany
has troubles enough of his own to

Some Suggestions For
Taking Advantage of
New Rules.
Each year more tricks are used in bas-
ketball. A3 the game develops the trick-
sters become more numerous. As it
Htands now basketball Is just a maze of
clever little inside stunts that the referee
and the crowd seldom notice.
■ "Tricks and ruses are becoming numer-
ous in the game of basketball," says a
Cl:;cago coach to the Daily News, "and
every director who is advising his men
against the use of them is hurting the
chances ol his team. When players can
get away safely with the tricks, unseen
by oflicials, you may count upon a suc-
cesslul agregaiion. In the P'ar West and
Kastern basketball circles guards have
the habit of chasing their forwards
around the floor wltli one liand inserted
under the opponent's belt in the rear and
,shouid the basket to.sser show even
slight signs of the gnawing ambition to
S^t after the sphere he is reminded of his
station by a tug at the belt. When the
referee looks around the forward grip has
been disconnected. A former Kvanston
Y. M. C. A. player was possessed of a
novel m.anner of disconceriing his op-
ponent by using a triphammer elbow
movement on that unfortunate's stomach
when running about In the progress of
the game. This feature of the playing
style tires tlie one who is assigned to
cover him and his career was a notably
successful one.
"imagine a stocky little runt pitted
against a giant of tlie stockyard district.
What chance has the short 0)ie against
ills oponent on the jump? An experienced
coach will teach the stocky lad to step
f»n i)is opponent's toes just an instant
before they are scheduled to go up into
thL- air on the jump. As a reality the
tall one won't go up, and the gallery
will give the youngster cheer after cheer
for he has bested the big fellow by sheer
prowess, according to the crowd's notion.
In similar cases a clever chuck under the
chm or a disconcerting slap in the ab-
domen proves as effective when two men
of unequal abilities jump for the ball. A
team mate of a player handicapped by
lack of height may aid often by grab-
bing the man against whom his partners
is Juniping by the wrist on the 'lee' side
—that is. away from the referee. Give
him an accidental shove in the back or
use the Indian .style of boosting your
own man In the air.
"When your opponent is after the ball
on a dead run and you are behind him,
don't hesitate— unless the referee is look-
ing—to grab his wrist, or when you are
in your opponent's place stop suddenly
and be knocked over. Tins compels the
official to call a foul, and this season,
with the 15-loot line, a point is almost a
certainty. Suppo.sing the guard of the
opposng team s desperately attemptng
to reach hs forward, wlio has taken the
ball on a long pass from down the floor.
It's the most simple achievement in the
world for you to run in front of the guard,
compelling Iiim to stop and allowing the
forward an almost free toss for the goal.
Do not act as if it was intentional when
you try it, for it's a clear, simple four to
block a man.
"Another one that works well under
your own basket Is throwing out your
arms sideways, as if offering to take the
ball from your teammate, who is clear.
Your arms, as a rule, will block off the
opponents who are seeking to reach him,
and the effort may net him a basket.
This must be done in all Innocence, re-
member, for If a prearranged plot Is
suspicioned, the consequences may be
serious. It is well, when several of your
opponents attempt to block your throw
from In front, to stretch the left arm
stifly out, as if posing for the toss, and
sweeping them aside.
"The ball may be dislodged easily
from the hands of an opponent by a
quick downward or upward hack at the
sphere. When a forward or guard is
becoming dangerous In the vicinity of
tho goal, a leap into the air above him
proves disconcerting. An unseen slap,
when imptissii)le to block your man,
often accomplishes the same result-
that of drawing awy his eye and dis-
concerting him. Many of our men have
formed the habit of calling upon an
opponent to loss the ball behind him
when he is blocked, and this proves ef-
fective about once out of four times.
A yell at a man free under the basket
will distract his attention from tossing
the goal and rattle him, the result being
that he will miss the throw if he is not
naturally of a sluggish temperament.
Inadvertently two men of the same side
will tug at the ball in a game, both
gr.ibbing it in the air perhaps, in which
case an opponent may cause the calling
of a foul upon tliat side by simply laying
his hand on the sphere. This is provided
for in the rules under the section on
"two men of one team on the ball."

Kaufmann lost a dozen chances to put

Indoor baseball players at the Head

I "They haven't shown that great su-

i of the other teams this morning.
f "The only chance they had to show
! it was when they were scheduled to
i meet the Millers, and sidestepped the
■ game for a game w ith the army and
navy bunch. They won that game,
but that doesn't show any superiority
over the other teams, and we are
willing to meet them at any time.
"It is untrue that there will be
no more indoor baseball here this
I year. The Millers and the Superior
team have each won a game, and
they will play at least one more be-
fore the season is over. Some other
games will also be arranged later.
The claim that we laid down because

CORNELL HAS A
GRADUATE COACH
Ithacans Do Away With
Services of a Pro-
fessional
Ithaca, N. Y.. Dec. 27.— Cornell has
abandoned the professional head coach
system in football and taken up the
graduate coaching plan. At a meeting
of the athletic council to select new
coaches to fill the place left vacant
by the departure of Glenn S. Warner
to Carlisle, Henry Schoelkopp '02 and
Morris Halliday '06, two former Cornell
stars, were elected as field coaches for
next year. With Capt. Cook they will
form a football field committee in
charge of the team. Assistant coaches
from all of the alumni who have won
their football "C" will be selected by
the athletic association and by the
committee.
Schoelkopp played fullback on the
Cornell teams in 1901 and 1902 and later
played halfback on Harvard In 1004
and 1905. Halliday played fullback on
Cornell in 1903, 1904 and 1905. He
coached Hamilton college last fall.
The council's action was unanimous,
and the representatives of the fotball
alumni association who attended the
meeting concurred with the undergrad-
uates.
You will get the knack of finding
chances and opportunities through

you will not worry about it even If

CONSTERNATION
AMONG ELKS
Pugilist Dies of Pneu-
monia After Losing
Fight at Fargo.
Fargo, N. D., Dec. 27.— The death of
Calvin Good, negro pugilist, wiiose home
ia in Columbus, Ohio, caused a great deal
of alarm to members of the local lodge
of Elks. Good, who has been giving
sparring exhibitions in the state, went
on for a ten round Iwut with Jim Cains,
another negro pugilist, at a social ses-
sion given by the Elks. There wore
many notables at the ringside, including
Lieut. Gov.-elcct Lewis, Slu-riff Hunt.
States's Attorney Barnett and others
prominent in the state.
In the elglith round Good fell uncon-
scious and remained in that condition
until he died several hours later. A
post mortem disclosed the fact that his
lungs were badly congested and that lie
would have died of pneumonia within a
short time. His demise was merely
hastened by violent exercise.
After hearing tlie testimony of five
physicians to that effect, the coroner's
jury returned a verdict along that line
and no blame was attaciicd to the Elks.
Gains, the successful opponent oi" Good,
fled to Winnipeg, in terror of prosecu-
tion. He had been at Minot for some
time.

STEEL DOORS

Colorado Farmers Fail to
Lynch Fiendish Tramp
Murderer/
Las Animas, Colo., Dec. 27. — After
several hours of diligent efforts «t
storming the county jail here, a mob,
w^hich gathered after dark to avenge
the murder by a tramp, Lawrence Le-
berg, of Henry Lavenmeyer, a well
known farmer near here, dispersed.
The mob worked Its way Into the jail
as far as the steel doors by breaking
down the wooden doors, but were met
a stern refusal by the jailkeeper.s to
turn over the prisoner, and finally
gave up.
Leberg, who had been arrested by
i.avenmeyer for setting fire to a hay-
stack because* Henry Purvis, a neigh-
bor, had refused him lodging, beat
Lavenmeyer with a hammer until his
head was a pulp, cut his throat fron.
ear to ear and attempted to scalp him.
The burning haystack attracted neigh-
bors, who found the mutilated body.
A posse was formed and Leberg was
caught a mile or two away riding La-
venmeyer's horse. He submitted to
arrest quietly and even boasted of his
crime, sayin™ that he had drunk the
blood of his victim.
FRANCE HEEDS
POPE'S PROTEST
Defense Attempted Offi-
cially of Raid of Paris
Nunciature.
Rome, Dec. 27.— In spite of the de-
nials of the French government that
it has made any reply regarding the
Vatican's protest to the powers on
the subject of expulsion from France
of Mgr. MontagninI, until recently
secretary of the papal nunciature at
Paris^ the Vatican has been posi-
tively informed that M. Pichon, min-
ister of foreign affairs of France, has
made verbal statements in answer to
this protest to several diplomatic
representatives at Paris, who tele-
graphed his communication to their
respective government.
According to the Vatican's author-
ity, Pichon said that Mgr. Montag-
ninI had no diplomatic standing; that
the papers sequestered at the nunci-
ature were unimportant, the import-
ant docu.iients having been removed
previously, arid, as the French gov-
ernment had not allowed tlie papal
nuncio to correspond with the French
bishops, it could still less permit
Mgr. MontagninI to do so. The Vati-
can denies the removal charge.
The local press has published the
summary which appeared in the Paris
Matin of the statement issued by
Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul. This
has not found favor at the Vatican,
as it blames the French clergy, who
are praised by the pope. The Osser-
vatore Romano says thfs summary
should be accepted with reserve, as
coming from an Infected source.
FERRY TIG
IS DAMAGED
Pacific Starts Bow Plate
in Bucking Bay
Ice.
Henry P. Morin, a conductor for the
Northern Pacific, asks that the sum
of $10,000 be awarded him from the
railroad company for injuries received
in a rear end collision which occurred
on the Thonip.«on bridge, Dec. 22, 1905.
I Morin w as standing on the rear end
of a caboose of a train going from
j Carlton to Superior and while they
{were delayed at the bridge, an extra
j freight cra.shed Into the caboose.
I In the wreck Morin sustained a dis-
j located shoulder, a bruised spine and
serious internal Injuries, for which he
claims the railroad company Is re-
sponsible, and therefore asks damages
for $10,000.
Repairs Expected to be
Completed Within
Short Time.
On account of the damage to the iron
plate on the bow of the tug Pacific,
caused by bucking Ice on the ferry
route between Duluth and Superior at
the Interstate bridge, the boat was laid
up for repairs after its last trip shortly
after midnight, being taken to the Du-
luth, Dredge & Dock company's yards.
Notice was given passengers at the
ferry yesterday that there would be no
boat In operation today and that they
would have to seek other means of
transportation across the bay.
The owners of the Pacific thought the
repairs could be made by this evennig,
at wiiich time It was figured that the
ferry service would be resumed.
Since the freeze-up the Pacific has
been running regularly between the
ends of Rice's Point In Duluth and Con-
nor's Point, in Superior, connecting
with the street car lines. The tug has
maintained a channel through the ice,
circular in shape, although progress
h;is at times been rather slow when the
broken ice accumulated at places on
I lie route.
The damage to the Pacific is not con-
sidered seriou.s, but the owners desire
to have the boat repaired rather than
take chances of its being made worse
should the weather turn coldej" and the
ice stiffen.
Outside of the open channel main-
tained by the ferry, the Ice on the bay
is quite thick and capable of eusl.ain-
Ing much weight. It Is said to be so
heavy that the wrecking tug Manis-
tique, which arrived in the harbor a
few days ago, was unable to break her
way thrtiugli to the Superior shipyards
to get the new rudder for the steamer
Ireland and the steering apparatu." bad
to be sliipped by railroad to one of the
Duluth docks on the \My front.
The suspension of ferry operations Is
causing much inconvenience to a large
nvnnber of people who live in either one
of the two cities and wiio are employed
in the other. Many of the working-
men who have to go back and forth
every night and morning were last
night planning to walk across the bay
on the ice. , , , „
Th»^ trains between Duluth and Su-
perior were quite heavily patronized to-
day as they were the only convenient
means of transportation oetween the
two cities.
TWO^LAIM BIG
INJURY DAMAGES
Swan River Logging
Company and Northern
Pacific Both Sued.
The complaint has been filed in one
personal Injury suit, in the United
States circuit court, in which ■William
Parker asks $30,000 from the swan river
Logging company, for injuries received
while in their employ in the wood.-?,
near Santiago, Minn. It Is alleged in
the complaint that Parker was ordered
;by the foreman to act in the capacity
of railroad man In .spite of the fact
that he had no previous experience.
It is claimed that while he was at
work coupling the cars the train
; lurched and threw him under the
i wheels. He claims that the train was
not properly equipped and that the
[cars were connected by the old "Lin-
jcoln" coupling pins. Parker's right leg
i was crushed between the cars and un-
der the wheels so that amputation was
necessarj-. The left leg was also badly
mangled.

New York. Dec. 27. — The Iron Age
pays: "Buying for the second half of
19U7 on the part of the consumers of
pig has developed In increasing vol-
ume in the Eastern markets and is be-
coming a feature, too, in the Central
West. In the East, it has been taken
up by nearly all classes of smelters
and appears to be confined largely to
the covering of work already in hand.
"Conspicuou.s among the purchasers
are again the open hearth steel pro-
ducer-s. One tide water plant has
taken an aggregate of 31.000 tons of
basic pig, nearly all for the second
half, at prices ranging from $22 to
$23.25 at furnace. It is understood
that further business is pending. An-

taken about 15.000 tons partly for
summer delivery and partly for tht
second half at even better prices. Lo-
comotive works have purchased an ag-
gregate of about 20.000 tons, also for
the second half, while a Western agri-
cultural implement maker is making
inquiries for a round lot of foreign
foundrj' iron for April shipment.
"That consumers shouhl be willing
to contract for delivery so far ahead,
at prices which would have seemeu
extravagant six months ago, is a sur-
prii-ing proof of confidence in the fu-
ture- and in some branches seems
hardly In harmony wiih the outlook
for values in finished material, which
pow-rful interests are striving to hold
at old levels.
"An event of more than passing in-
t.^re.st is the re-appearance in the
mark^-t of the Bethlehem Steel com-
j»any as a seller of steel rails. Th«-
plant under construction will make
special rails of open hearth steel ex-
«:lu3ively. The company has just sold
22.500 tinis to the Oregon & Wa.shing-
ton road of the Harriman sy.stem for
delivery after the middle of the year.
After a .series of advances the makers
of pipe finally la.st week restored the
level of prices which ruled in April,
1905. This last advance amount>- U
$2 per ton on merchant pipe, $4 per
ton on boiler tubes and a like amount
on country goods.
"The demand for bars continues
heavy from all sources. In .sheet and
tin plate an advance is believed immi-
nent. In the wire trade the questioi.
of being able to accumulate some
stock for spring requirements, is
troubling the mills, in view of the
.steady demand for prompt shipments.
The problem really is whether the
trade has changed and is not so much
subject to a spring rush, as in the
P3.at." ^ ,
Cleveland. Dec. 27.— The Iron Trade
Review says: "The closing of the year,
which has been one of the most won-
derful in prosperity, is marked by great
activity in all furnaces and mills.
The slackening of operations usually
characteristic of the holiday season,
is not noticeable this year, except when
insisted upon by employes, or when
made absolutely necessary for repair-
ing purposes. A few mills are closed,
but the rule is to operate to the full
extent.
"Not a few Eastern and Vlrgmia
furnaces, which were slow in making
their contracts for ore. are becoming
alarmed for fear that they will not be
able to operate continuously during the
coming year, which promises to be an
exceedingly busy one. There is much
inquiry in all parts of the countr>' for
pig iron for future delivery and indi-
eatiftns are that there will l:>e a heavy
buving movement early in the new
year. Eastern furnaces have sold
heavily within a few days and some
now announce, that they have .sold up
to their full capacity through th3
third quarter of 1907. Thf-re have been
further large sales of basic in the east-
ern territorv for the last half of 1907,
bringing the total of the past two
weeks up to fully 100.000 tons. South-
ern pig Iron is still advancing In prices
and premiums could easily be ob-
tained for prompt delivery, but rail-
road conditions continue unfavorable.
"The recent efforts of representa-
tives of the structural mills to add
th<^ir book contracts are shown In con-
siderable increase in business and
specifications on contracts are heavy.
Plate mills are so crowded that few of
them can accept orders for delivery
short of three months. The principal
producer of sheets and tin plate is far
behind on its deliveries. Advances in
quotations on this product are likely
to come at any time. An advance on
both merchant pipe and boiler tubes is
announced."

Highly Pyrotechnical
Career of This Fas-
cinating Young Man.
Washington. Dec. 27. — At last what
society has long considered inevitable
has happened — Mrs. James G. Blaine,
Jr., has entirely rid herself of the son
of the famous Maine statesman, whose
reputation and commanding social and
politcal position long protected the
dashing, '•mashing." "hell-roaring"
"Jimmie."
Mrs. Blaine was, until she married
Blaine in 1901. Miss Martha Hichborn,
the beautful "heliotrope beile" of
Washington.
It was but three years after the big
social functio nwhich meant the mar-
riage of the daughter of Rear Ad-
' miral Philip Hicliborn to JcMfiie G.
' Blaine, Jr., that there occurred an in-
I cident in a fashionable Fifth avenue
I restaurant which sent Mrs. Blaine,
I sorrowing, but haughty, to the home
i of her parents here in Washington and
i left the lively "Jimmie" in solitude ai
i the Marquise apartment house on
I Thirty-Hrst street. New Yorlc City.
I It was at the time and place men-
i tion that "Jimmie," himself having a
■ hilarious time with a party of gay folk
' who hadn't seen a sunrise since they
I could remember, distinguLshed at a
I distant table in the swell restaurant
I his own dear wife, whom he had neg-
lected much ad whom he believed
! waited in lonely state for is sometime
arrival at home.
Somehow t struck the sportive "Jim-
mie" that, while it was. all right for
• him to get out and beguile the time
j between the cork pops with racy re-
partee and affectionate dalliance with
those of the other sex, it was highly
improper for his better half to even
appear on the scene and allow herself
: some mild indulgence in the gaieties
j of life.
} The companion of Mrs. Blaine on
! this occasion, so it was said, was a
warm personal friend of both Blaine
and his wife, but the sense of the im-
! propriety of the mere presence of the
lady so burned in the heart of the
lotharian husband that he was moved
' to go over where the two were sipping
: their wine and belabor Mrs. Blaine's
j escort with his big bare knuckles.
1 It is related that the other man was
I fair haired and that in the gyrations
1 to which Blaine subjected him he cast
; quite an unusual glow in that place
of variegated lights. There was, of
I course, much go.ssip when Mrs. Blaine
I screamed. The management inter-
fered and put an end to the flaggella-
tion of the unfortunate friend of the
I Blaines. It, in fact, "broke up the
meeting." in a sense and the next
1 thing the social world knew was thai
Mrs. Blaine was back with the Hitch-
horns, that Washington society had
' welcomed her back and that the ban
of ostracism had been laid heavily on
James G. Blaine. Jr.
The career of this same Blame has
, been of a mighty sensational, even py-
■ rotechnical sort. He has always been
' known as the conqueror of lovely wo-
men. Though he has never made thr
first step toward statesmanship, he
must have inherited some of the diplo-
I matic talent for which his father was
I famous, for, despite his numerous and
even outrageous lapses, he has regu-
larly managed to fascinate folks and
' regain favor, both with men and wo-
i men. ' w. v.
The first of his escapades, which
involved with it the commis.sion of a
cruel wrong, was in the callow days
when he fell in love with the beauti-
ful young daughter of ex-Congress-
man Palmer and persuaded her that
ho could not live a moment without
her. The two fled to New York and
three weeks later, she found her.self
alone and penniless. Washington
■ society cut Blaine sharply, but he
* didn't soem to mind. He went right
on with his love making and soon
engaged the affections of the charm-
ing Miss Marie Nevins, daughter of
Richard Nevins of Ohio.
Society forgave young Blaine. He
was going to reform and all extended
to him encouraging hands. It was
not long, however, before the world
knew that the young wife had ob-
tained her freedom in the divorce
court apd had al.so secured the cus-
tody of her little boy, James G.
Blaine, III.
Jimmie Blaine once .started to the
Philippines on Gen. Merritt's .staff.
The war office looked askance at
young Blaine's reformation, but
! meanwhile he was traveling on out of
I its reach to Honolulu. There he was
received with open arms.
They prepared dances and dinners
and fetes of all sorts to greet him
and liis companions. Nothing was
too good, and so It happened that
at a certain function in honor of
Capt. Blaine, the prettiest women on
the island were gathered. Native
dishes and native dances were served
in turn.
The native dishes were supplement-
ed with kegs of good wine, which
flowed in a .stream of plenty. The
Hula girls were dancing slouly, sway-
ing their bodies in the very poetry of
motion; the .society women were
watcliing, pljing their fans gently to
and fro in the sultry air. Sudden-
ly, Jimmie Blaine ceased to distin-
guish exactly who was who, and
against the gold lace of his coat a
young woman, struggling to free her-
.>iC'lf, was pressed closely.
She was not a Hula girl, and she
was in his arms. She happened to
be a bride and the wife of Mr. Aona,
and Mr. Aona happened to be present
and highly indignant. He struck
out with such effefct that a few hours
later Capt. Blaine was carried aboard
ship by a squad of soldiors, stiff and
sore as though he had been a human
football. It was such escapades that
caused his recall home.

DEPLETION
OF STOCKS
To the Extent i if Jiat All
Reserves m^ on
Sale.|| -
Orders Still Pouring In,
But Must Wait
Their Turn.
New York, Dec. 27.— One of the most
remarkable features of the manafactur-
ins and mercantile situations is the to-
tal absence of reserve stocks in the
greut majority of the various lines of
goods produced or on sale.
The market is swept bare of reserves,
and the consumers and the distributers
are right up to the m mufaeturers in
their demands for products of the mills,
shops and factories, and the manufac-
turers are right up lo the fmishlng
rooms for the articles tiey m.ake. It is
the case In every one of the metal
trades, steel, iron, coiper, lead, tin,
zinc; no reserves, no surplus in any
party's hands and orders aggregating
iiiillions of dollars on file and unfilled.
It Is the ca.se with all classes of ma-
chinery, with electrici.l works, with
cotton miiis, woolen mills and lumber
mills, and in many instances if orders
ceased today it would require months
of steady work to till those already
booked.
Orders will not cease, however; they
will come in for months in ever-increas-
ing numbers and voluni-.-. The full sw^ll
tide of trade will go through and over
19«7. How much longer It may continue
It would be idle to predict, but there is
no limit in sight at present. Here are
some pertinent truths tistilied to by A.
13. Starr, general superintendent of
freight traffic of the Pennsylvania lines
west of Pitt.sburg during an examina-
tion before Interstate Oomimerce Com-
missioner Prouty of St. itiouis last week.
Mr. Starr said that hv. wwuld favor a
law that would requi:"e railroads to
provide equipment sufi'icient to meet
traffic needs. "That i.s the only way
this question can be solved," he de-
clared. "Naturally the railroads have
always felt that each year m'ight wit-
ness a slackening in our national pros-
perity. Instead, business has increased
and we have been unpiepared to meet
the heavy requirements of the ship-
pers."
Mr. Starr, as above, stated absolute
facts. The great majority. of the rail-
way magnates, guided by old prece-
dents, good under old oonditions, have
semi-annually been looking for a panic
and trade d-epression for tha past
six years. They did not, and do not
now, realize that under existing abnor-
mal conditions the old precedents have
no, significance. They could tell the
status each year of the cotton crop, of
the corn crop, of the vvheat, the oats
and the hay crops, of the steel, the
coal and the iron markets, but they
have had no faith in tlie financial end
holding up, for they have not realized
the magnitude and the paramount im-
portance of that ruler of all business—
the money crop.
Even a gentlem.an like James J. Hill,
close in touch with every branch of
modf>rn busine&s, iiand in glove with
the kings of finance and the captains
of Industry, tried the gift of pessi-
mistic prophecy some three years ago,
and gave out an interview doleful In
the extreme, dealing with dire disas-
ter in the then Immediate future and
giving the country over to the "dernni
tion bowwows." According to Mr. Hill
of that year. Industries were to cease,
labor was to lack employment, manu-
facturers to shut down and woeful
want was to pervade the country. None
of these have come to pass, and tliree
years have elapsed since Mr. Hill told
us all of the trade depression.
All along Mr. Hill's roads there la de-
m.and for better trade facilities and
more adequate service. Mr. Hill is an
able man, no one will gainsay that. Mr.
Hill is a shrewd, keen man and well up
in railro.ading, except in these extraor-
dinary times of greatci demand, when
he expected less; but Mr. Hill has lost
ground largely as a prophet. He got
all bungled up by that interview. He
was clean wrong. He knows it now,
•and the country knows it, but his words
of that time, at the time, had a de-
pressing effect on man}' wlio then had
confidence in his judgment and thought
he .spoke sincerely.
His views were shared by many finan-
ciers and by many railroad managers,
and Mr. Starr has made plain to the
public one great factor in the present
deplorble conditions of railway traffic.
Mr. Starr In this most Important testi-
mony said that there were in operation
at present in the United States l.SuO.OOO
freight cars, and that «,b<Tfit 30,000 of
them must be rebuilt «!\attry year.
'The Pennsylvania l^coftipany has
thousands of cars idle fof want of men
to repair them. It is Impossible for
I us to get enough laboi'. This is prob-
! ably true of the manuf i<;turing plants.
!l understand that the car <-orapanus are
: arranging to increase their output 50
j per cent."
i Business men of the United States
have in Mr. Starr's statemonts, aV)und-
ant cause for congratulations in anti-
cipation of great trade in VUc year.s to
I come. Our greatest raijw;\y system Is
1 admittedly unable to carry the tre-
I mendous freight businoss that is of-
fered, and its managers and dirtctor.-*
are at last aware of the fact that
! their facilities are intdoquate. How
1 much better it would have been for the
I railway companies and for tlie country
! at large if the money spent last year
; on useless bureaus for literature f\nd
■ resultless lobbies against the rate bill
I had been put into locomotives and
freight cars by the railroads of the
United States!
I The profit to the railways would have
been considerable, and the loss to the
shippers of the country- and the mer-
chants and consumers of the country
would liave been much less. The rail-
way situation has l>een changed im-
mensely within two years. The rail-
roads are now truly under government
control, and it has beer, done so speed-
ily and so completely that the man-
agers cannot comprehend it.
They will never get out of govern-
ment control now. It will never be
released, but, on the contrary, will each
year be tightened an«. riveted closer
iind closer. Politicians for the next
decade, the next score of years, will
seek popular approval for measures of
increasing the scope and power of the
government control, ard they will al-
ways get that approval.
All through the country, east, west,
south and north, the citizens are re-
questing that federal power be used to
n(iyust their difTerences and disagree-
ments with railway representatives,
and the federal power is quickly re-
sponsible. Truly it would seem that
railway contributions to the campaign
funds of 18% and 1900 have brought as
ill luck to tlie railroad companies as
the insurance contribu'.ions did to the
life Insurance compar ies. The rail-
ways went into politics In 1896, and they
are still in politics, and will never more
get out, for the politician^ will make
their campaigns in the ^utu^e upon the
railway question. They jumped into
niitlonal politics on a national issue,
and they have now become the national
issue themselves. ' ''
Wise men, these railway managers,
but they will have more wisdom and a
great deal n\ore experience when the
Republican and Democratic parties get
through with them and

ployment to hundreds of thou.sands of
skilled and unskilled laborers. The
question of obtaining laborers is one
that is giving great concern to employ-
ers all over the country. Railroad con-
contractors, manufacturers and farm-
ers are all crying out for help and
finding tiie greatest difficulty in ob-
taining any relief.
In several of the counties of Mary-
land during the past month farmt^rs*
meetings have been held to consider
this, to them, most serious condition
of affairs. The demand for laborers in
the cities at very high rates of pay
has attracted the laborers from the
farms and left the owners in many in-
stances witiiout the help necessary for
their care and cultivation. The aban-
doned farms of New England bid fair
to be duplicated in states like New Jer-
sey, Delaware and Maryland, close to
large cities, which constantly attract
both young and old.
A systematic effort is being made
throughout the Atlantic and gulf states
of the Soutii to obtain help from Euro-
peans who are willing to leave their
homes, and no doubt thousands of them
will become residents of the Southern
states during the ne.xt few years. The
present tendency of the people upon
the farms is, liowever, to go to the
cities or to work at liglit manufactur-
ing in the villages rather than to till
the soil.

STATE BAR
ON MORALITY
Prof. JcnRs Urges En-
forcing Laws to Check
Trade Evils.
Stock Watering Held to
be Even Worse Than
Rebating.
Providence, R. I., Dec. 27. — Dis-
tinguished students of political sci-
ence, historians and educators, repre-
senting many leading universities and
other educational institutions, assem-
bled here last night for the opening
of a series of annual meetings under
the auspices of Brown university,
Including conventions of the American
Historical association, the American
Economic association, the American
Political Science association, the
American Sociological society and the
Bibliographical Society of America.
Last night a joint meeting of
the American Historical and Amer-
ican Economical societies was held
m Sales hall, at which Prof. J. W.
Jenks of Cornell university, president
of the American Economic associa-
tion, delivered the annual address,
on the "Modern Standard of Busi-
ness Honor." He said in part:
"The frequency of great fortunes,
gathered perhaps legally, but in ways j
felt to be unjust, through the 1
power of monopoly, have tended
strongly to obscure the moral vision
of many well meaning men, who
have been thereby led to confound
morality with social righteousness;
and their acts have formed the ex-
cuse for many others to break laws,
which seem to them unjust. The
profit from an unjust, though legal
stock-watering may well prove more
demoralizing in busine.ss circles than
the illegal freight rebate which .saves
from ruin a grain shipper caught at
a disadvantage."
In the way of remedy, Prof. Jenks
submitted that the state should make
the conditions such that human na-
ture would not bo tempted beyond
its strength and make and enforce
laws which should forbid unscrupul-
ous practices like the employment of
child labor or the adulteration of
good.s.
"It may seem a tame and impotent
conclusion," concluded Prof. Jenks,
"that th;^re is no executive panacea
for our business ill.s, and that upon
us as individuals rests the responsi-
bility for our improvement. The
justification for the conclusion is
human nature and the experience of
the ages."
At the meeting of the American
I Historical a.ssociation in Sayles hall,
j today, the general subject of European
I history was considered. Prof. George
j L. Burr of Cornell university present-
I ed a paper on "Protestantism and
j Tolerance," while "The Renaisance of
j the Twelfth Century" was the subject
; of an address by Prof. Dana C.
I Munro of the University of Wiscon-
sin.
Besides a business meeting and the
. appointment of committees, the time
' of the members of the American
Economic association was taken up
by a consideration of "Economy
Theories," in Rockefeller hall audi-
torium. John B. Clark of Columbia
read a paper on "On What Principles
Should a Court of Arbitration Pro-

tainly do not. If he does, then use his kind.

Wages," and among those who had
been asked to take part in the dis-
cussion were F. W. Taussig of Har-
vard; Otto M. Eldlitzz, chariman of
the board of governors of the Build-
ing Trades' Employers' association;
L. B. Schran, chairman of the labor
committee of the United States Brew-
ers' association; A. F. Weber, New
York bureau of labor statistics; Ralph
M. Easley. chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the National Civic
Federation; Samuel B. Donnelly, sec-
retary of the conciliation committee
of the National Civic Federation, and
others.
In Manning hall, International Law
was considered by the American Po-
litical Science association. Rear Ad-
miral Charles A. Sperry had prepared
an address on "A Revision of the
Geneva Convention." "The Third
Pan-American Conference" was the
subject of a paper by Prof. Paul S.
Pcinsch of the University of Wis-
consin.
At the gathering of the American
Sociological society a number of
.speakers took part In a discussion of
a paper by C. A. Elhvood, on "How
Should Sociology Be Taught as a
College and University Subject."
Among the speakers were Robert C.
Chapin of Beloit college and J. Ebert
Cutter, University of Michigan.
Librarians and book lovers flocked
to the John Carter Brown library,
where the American Bibliographical
society held meetings. Following an
address by President William Cool-
idge Lane, librarian of Harvard uni-
versity, and the presentation of re-
ports, a paper was read by Dr. Reu-
ben Goldthwaites, secretary of the
Wisconsin Historical society on "The
Bibliographical Work of Historical
Societies."
TWO BROTHERS STRUCK
BY TRAIPU9.^E KILLED.
St. Paul, Dec. 27.— While returning
home after selling a load of hay,
Joseph Indkage, a farmer 26 years old,
was killed by being run Into by a
Northern Pacific freight train eight
miles from here, at 9 o'clock last eve-
ning, and Nicholas Indkage, a brother,
who was riding in another wagon di-
rectly follov/ing, was seriously Injured.
The brothers live on a farm about
thirteen miles out of the city. Both
had their heads wrapped up, and it
is thought that they did not hear or
see the train.
JIJDGE SCORED
FOR HIS ACTS
Chetlain of Chicago
Found Guilty by Bar
Association.
Chicago, Dec. 27.— The judiciary com-
mittee of the Chicago Bar association,
which has been investigating charges
against Superior (^ourt Judge Arthur
JH. Chetlain of intei-est in various finan-
, cial transactions which came under the
{jurisdiction of hifi court, has found
j the jurist "guilty of conduct unbecom-
ling a judge and that he has, by his
i rather reckless actions, seriously im-
paired his usefulness as a Judge." No
further action in the matter will bo
, taken by the bar association, as no
recommendations were made to that
body by the judiciary committee. The
■ investigation was made by request of
Judge Chetlain.
CHRISTMAS EXERCISES.
Sunday School Classes of Lester Park
Church Entertain.
The annual Christmas entertain-
ment of the Jjestcr Park M. E. Sun-
day school took place last evening,
and was by far the most successful
it has ever given. This was due in
great measure to ihe orchestra, which
was larger than heretofore, and con-
sisted of three violins, a flute, while
Miss Potter played the organ. They
gave several selections;, which were
highly appreciated. The choir also,
under the leaders^hip of Mrs. Geer,
wife of the p^sior of the church,
sang several anthems in a very fin-
ished manner. Of course there was
the usual Chislnias tree, and the
church was beautifully decorated.
The entertainmtnit continued over
two hours. Each of the Sunday
school classes gave short exercises,
and recitations were given by the
following little tots: Victor Oman,
Donald Myron, Aichie McFadyen and
Agnes Bradley. MiBS Isadora Dodge
gave a reading, "The Christ Child,"
and Miss Marie J. McDowell gave,
with fine effect, "Flying Jim's Last
Leap."
But the crowning feature of the
entertainment was the appearance of
Santa Claus, who delighted the little
ones with large packages of candy.
The poor children of the city were
not forgotten, and when the children
got through with their donations, the
platform looked like a thriving gro-
cery establishment. There were all
kinds of canned goods, flour, potatoes
and apples. These will be distribut-
ed today to the various charities in
the city.
STRIKERS TAKE FIREMAN.
Masked Louisiana Men Make One At-
tempt to Stop a Train.
New Orleans, Dec. 27.— A Southern
Pacific fireman was taken from the en-
gine by a body of masked men at
Opellousas, La., according to a report
! received here by E. B. Cushing, gen^
! eral superintendent. Except for this
] incident, he said that the fireman's
strike had caused no serious trouble on
this end of the Southern Pacific's At-
lantic system. Two guards are car-
ried on every engine, and all passen-
ger anl local freights have been moved
on time. The road expects today to
remove the embargo on through freight
which has been maintained since the
strike began.
GOES TO TRAINING SCHOOL
Sparta Girl Will be Committed on Her
Own Request.
Sparta, Minn., Dec. 27.— Behind the tak-
ini; of Edith Nevela to the state train-
ing school there is a story of more than
usual Interest. The girl is 15 years ot
."icv. and goes to the state institution
Rheumatism Cured in 24 Hours.
T. J. Blackmore, of Haller & Black-
more, Pittsburgh, Pa., says: "A short
time since I procured a bottle of Mystic
Cure. It got me out of the house In 24
hours. I took to my bed with Rheuma-
tism nine months ago and the Mystic
Cure is the only medicine that diu mo
any good. I had five of the best physi-
cians in the city, but I received very
little relief from them. I know the
Mystic Cure to be what it is represent-
ed and take pleasure in recommending
it to other poor sufferers." Sold by all
drusxists.
through her own choice and not for any
evert act.
She is the daughter of John Nevela, a
r'innish miner, who brought his youns?
son and daughter to America after the
mother of the children had been sen-
tenced to a long term in prison tor tak-
ing the life of another one of her chil-
dren. Some time ago the boy was sent
to the training school, since which time
he has been writing to his sister. He
pa'nted the glories of life in the institu-
tion in such glowing colors that the girl
determined to go there also.
H. C. Wlthrow. county humane agent,
came up from Duluth to investigate the
rase and securing the consent of the
father to make the girl a ward of the
state, took her to Duluth to arrange for
ccmmitment. It was found tliat of late
the lather has neglected the girl.
The girl herself was more than pleased
to go, declaring her firm belief in tha
statement of her brother that the Institu-
tion is u better home than the children
have ever had.
How Diphtheria is Contracted.
One often hears the expression, "My
child caught a severe cold which de-
veloped into diphtheria," when the
truth was that the cold had simply left
the little one particularly susceptible
to the wandering diphtheria germ.
When Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
Is given it quickly cures the cold and
lessens the danger of diphtheria or '
any other germ disease being contract-
ed. For sale by all druggists.

ing, stay through the agricultural so-
ciety meeting and attend the Breeders'
association meetings. Reduced ratea

The sessions of the State Agricultural
society will be held in the auditorium
in the Minneapolis courthouse.
MEXICAN LABOR LEADER'S
DEATH TO BEjNVESTIGATED.
City of Mexico, Mex., Dec. 27.— Tho
union labor element of Mexico
is aroused over the sudden and mys-
terious death of Jovlto .Sllva, leader
of the great strike movement now
affecting the cotton and woolen mills
of this part of Mexico, which oc-
curred a few days ago at Puebla.
The authorities have ordered an In-
vestigation made of Silva's death for
the purpose of clearing up the mys-
tery. The activity of Silva in manag-
ing the strike of the employes of a
large number of cotton and woolen
mills is said to have Incurred for him
the bitter enmity of some of the cot-
ton mill owners. It is claimed by
strikers that their leader was pois-
oned. Silva was known all over
Mexico as a labor agitator. He Is
said to have done more toward ob-
taining valuable concessions on be-
half of the factory employes of tha
country from their employers thau
any other man. It Is largely through
his influence that the 10,000 employee
of cotton and woolen mills recently
walked out.

Association.
Minneapolis, Dec. 27. — (Special to
The Herald.) — President Rankin of the
Btate Educational association deliv-
ered his annual address today before
a large audience in Plymouth church,
Bpoaking on teachers and teaching in
this state. He said that one-half the
teachers had had no special prepara-
tion fur their work and that it had
been found that 1.200 of them could
not pass an examination in arithmetic.
There were, however, he added,
xnany qualifications more important
V hich could not be tested by examina-
tions. The real failures were want in
powtirr, in leadership, in earnestness of
purpose, in maturity of character. The
key to teaching should be held by the
special training schools and all teach-
ers should be graduates of these
schools, while good teachers shoula
be retained. The schools must take
the home into account and thej' must
vork together. Rural teachers and
city teachers needed different training.
Thtf normal school should train teach-
ers for the cities and villages. A good
beginning for the training of rural
teachers was found at the state agri-
cultural school, and there ought to be
established county branches at the ex-
ptfii^ie entirely of the state for train-
ing teachers for rural purposes. The
city schools should not be permitted to
do normal work.
If the state did not recognize the
teachers under contract with th*
boards until the teachers secure a
formal release. Compulsory education
and the Minnesota law on the point
were discussed by J. D. Blair of Wi-
nona, and J. M. Malmin of Blue Earth.
The law was characterized as weak in
many ways. At the same time it was
admitted that in rural communities
an elastic law was necessary as boys
v.ere needed on the farms during har-
vest.
The officers for the coming year were
elected as follows: President, W. H.
Skenrrp, Cloquet: vice president. B. D,
Blair, Winona: secretary', W. F. Fritzl.
Sleepy Eye; treasurer. A. D. Doane,
St. Cloud; delegate to national con-
vention, J. H. Sharp, Moorhead.

so uncertain that he felt that it would
be but fair to relieve the railroad
of the expense of maintaing him and
an office in Duluth, when he has an«
other attractive position open to him.

ENGINEER KREY
GOING TO ALASKA
Leaving Wisconsin Cen-
tral for Big Proposi-
tion There.
John Krey, division engineer at Du-
luth for the Wisconsin Central railway,
and who had expected to be in charge
of the construction of the tunnel which
the road will build to get its entrance
to Its depot in Duluth, tias resigned
and will leave next week for Copper
River. Alaska. He is going with the
Copper River Northwestern Railway
company, which owns coal and copper
fields in that country in the Copper
river district, and is to develop them. 1
Mr. Krey will be in charge of con-
struction, and has a most interesting ]
engrineering work before him. There is i
a breakwater to build, a work that
will not be new to him for he has \
been engaged in that line with the I
United States government, being for
some time stationed at Marquette, I
Micii. There will also be docks to 1
build, and a railroad line to the coal j
fields and another to the copper mines, j
Mr. Krey was very anxious to be I
engaged in the tunnel work here, for j
It will be a most interesting piece of \
work from an engineering standpoint, I,

Lafayette Blissv. superintendent of

dellvere<i an address on •"Music." He
said, in part:
• The work of the public school, and
particularly the music of the public
school, is doing much to make this
corner of the world a better place in
■which to live. The singing of our na-
tional airs and folksongs is doing
more to cultivate patriotism and
make good Americans out of the
l.'"iO<).'»j foreign strangers coming to'
our shores annually, than any other
one agency.
• I have in the schools over which I
have the honor to preside nineteen
different nationalities represented
Bm»ng the children, but they all
Sp-'-ak good English, sing our national
songs with enthusiasm and feeling,
and are the most loyal Americans.
In one school every child is a Finn,
and the teacher a Swede» but very
musical. The schoolhouse, a pic-
turesque log structure. Is located in
the midst of a pine forest, far from
any center of civilization, ten miles
out of Virginia. It would do your
heart good to hear these children sing
'My Country- "Tis of Thee,' 'The Red.
White and Blue,' Tennyson's "Sweet
and Low,' and at least twelve other
worthy songs, all the words of which
th^y have committed to memory.
When I listen to those children sing.
although the words are pronounced
with a foreign flavor. I do not fear
for the future destiny of the 'home
of the brave and the land of the
free.' I am sure It will be perfectly
safe In their hands, and others reared
as thev are being brought up. In
my schools we have always main-
tain->d a large chorus of 200 or more
voices glee clubs for the boys, and
^rls separately, and s..me years an
orch-'^tra and band. They have a
repertoire of thirty or more songs,
music and words committed to mem-
ory "and do their work in four-part
harmony in quite an impressive man-
ner.
'From my observation as an
amateur in music. I am firmly of
the conviction that any .«chool can
learn to sine, that music is useful
In disciplining a .school, that it is
one of the most practical of sub-
ject.-; since the mental discipline re-
quired in learning the science gives
It high pedagogical value, that It
aids in making good readers and
good speakers. Mu-sic is one of the
best promoters of health. The rea-
son that the Germans are so free
from consumption comes from the
fact <->f their singing so much that
it give.'' them sound lungs.
"Children should be taught music
Just as they are taught English:
thr->u5h the eyes and brain first
rath^^r than through the mouth. We
teach them to read and write Eng-
lish before we teach them elocution.
In music we start out with elocu-
tion, that Is singing, and keep It up
to the exclusion of teaching how to
read and write. Young children
should sing much, but they should
a'so be taught to read and write
their music. That done they may
ffo en as far as they can; some,
the majority I may saj-. to be fair
singers, but intelligent listeners:
other.s. far fewer, to be good singers
or performers; and a few I
to !>►• composers.

.St. Paul, Dec. 27.— (.Special to The
Herald.)— State Treasurer Block, In
his annual report, made public today,
would have the tinriber tracts of tha
state policed during the logging sea-
son against trespass and thieves, and
instead of a land commissiorrer. he
would hive a board fully equipped
for the care and saJe of the state's
lands and mineral holdings.
Mr. Block would immediately con-
A-ert some of the state's holdings in
outside bonds, bearing interest into
cash, and reinvest them at home at
a better rate of Interest. Further,
he would install a ne^^ system of rec-
ords for the recording ol the state's
loans and the accounts incident there-
to, and he would iiicrease the salary
of his successor.

catch his eye immediately.
"He seemed indifferent, and turned
his head away. She squeezed herself
into the seat next to him, and he be-
came absorbed In looking out of the
window.
•She went to all sorts or trouble to
attract his attention, that girl. I saw
her myself. Finally she angled her
chatelaine loudly and looked at him
alluringly from beneath her long lashed
eyes.
"Then he turned and gazed at her
questionlngly. She smiled, a bright,
unaba.shed smile, and the whole car
looked at her.
"Something in that smile warned
him, and — "here the conductor paused
impressively — 'he reached out two
pink, chubby little hands to grasp her
dangling chatelaine.
"Well, sir. she kissed one of those
chubby little hands and pinched his
little apple red cheeks and then asked
the woman who held him a question.
Guess it was his mother, and she asked
how old he was."

OSTRICH FEATHERS.
Ostrich feathers will be the most
popular form of hat decoration this
winter, says the London Express.
"There Is no more becoming trim-
ming than a fine ostrich feather," said
a Bond street milliner yesterday. "It
is equally at home on a large picture
hat. a smart French model or a tiny
fur toque.
"Some ladles grumble because a
feather soon goes out of curl, but If
shaken for a couple of minutes before
a flre It curls again as well as on the
day it was new.
"A good plan when wearing a long
plume on a fur toque is to fasten the
feather in with a Jewelled buckle. It
can then be removed if the weather be
very wet, and a bunch of quills sub-
stituted.
"Ombre feather are the most artis-
tic. Mole shading to blue, brown
through all the tints of flame, orange
to palest lemon, and old rose to pale
pink and cream are the favorite shades.

pearance owing to Queen AlexandralJj i

Carefully noting the spot he got
away unobserved and returned next
day, when he unearthed a box. which
on being broken open he found to con-
tain bars of gold and quantities of
Kruger sovereigns minted on one side

produced three discs of gold which ap-
peared to have been struck on i»ne side

His object in calling on the doctor
was to borrow £50 In order to procure
a wagon and oxen to remove the

not bring away the portable coin and
thus make himself independent of out-

was ingenuous. He feared to bring

THE CHICAGO MARKET.
Wheat Opens Quiet and Steady on Fair
Commission Hous2 Demand.
Chicago, Dec. 27.— The wheat market to-
day opened quiet and steady on a fair de-
mand from commission houses. Offer-
ings were light and there was nothing in
the news cf the day capable of affecting
the early market. May wheat opened a
shade lower at 7T"ic, sold at 71540 and
advanced again to ll%c. Minneapolis, Du-
luth and Chicago reported receipts of 638
cars agaln.«t 2S5 cars last week and tilO
cars a yf-ar ago.
The <«rn market was «iuiet and firm
at the opening. The weather in the
Northwest was unfavorable for the rrop
movement and local receipts were some-
what below e.xpectations. May corn

Logan & Bryan. Chicago.— Wheat: The
trade was considerably influenced by the
fact that .some of the elevator people
who were depressing the December yes-
terday were buying the cash month to-
day. Late cable says strike may inter-
fere with shipments of Argentine wheat.
Can hardly expect any fresh activity or
bull market to .start right in holiday dull-
nes.« but the buyers of wheat on the
breaks this week likely to be In line lor
bull market early in January.
Corn— There is a continuation of some
of the same bull influences which have
sustained tlie mark.t for weeks past. We
regard these influences as temporary and
believe they will all vaKi.«h in the face
of good buying round movement next
month and that prices will be forced
lower. Get a good swell to sell on if
possible. , , ^^
Oats— Some local holders were fright-
ened into selling out tJiOvisions at the
opening today because of the bearish tac-
tics of the packers late yesterday. On
the break the packers had brokers taking
the product back. Investors and shorts
were buyers.
Provisions— Northwest houses bought
oats here today. Sample market
acts firm. Looks as if a rattling good
trading market might develop in oats

the Rochester Herald. "Did you ever
see this tree that has been mentioned,
by the roadside?" an advocate in-
quired.
•'Yes, sir, I saw It very plainly."
"It was conspicuous, then?"
The witness seemed puzzled by the
new word. He repeated his former
assertion.
"What's the difference," sneered the
lawyer, "between plain and conspicu-
ous?"
But he was hoist with his own
petard. The witness Innocently
answered :
"I can see you plainly, sir, among
the other lawyers, though you are not
a bit conspicuous."
In another witness a blow directed
against the character of a witness
forcibly recoiled.
"You were in the company of these
people?" he was asked.
"Of two friends, sir."
"Friends; two thieves, I suppose you
mean."
"That may be true," was the dry
retort; "they were both lawyers.'
The blow that destroys the effect of
an adverse examination is occasionally
more the result of accident than of
conscious effort. In a trial not long

Logan & Bryan to Paine, Webber & Co.:
Our market responded to London's ad-
vance and there was strength and cheer-
fulness at the opening today than for
.some time. Buying orders were put on
the market early. The Hill stocks showed
strength, probably due to the fact that
larger and weak accounts which have
been hanging over the market were taken
care of Wednesday after the close. There
does not seem to be much fear as to the
future of the money market. We see
nothing better than a scalping affair for
the present, but beli-n'e after the first
of the year the market will do better all
around.
Gay & .Sturgis: The News Bureau to-

The late Sir Walter BuUer tells the
amusing story that he was once ad-
dressing a large meeting of natives on
a matter of considerable political im-
portance and had been urging his
views with *11 the earnestness
the subject demanded, when,
lene whose formula is C. H.
No other gas wiiich has been produced
on a commercial scale is capable of giv-
ing, volume for volume, so great yield of
light as acetylene. Calcium carbide will
yield, with the addition of water, five
feet of acteylene to each pound of car-
bide, the acetylene having aproxlmately
ten times the illuminating value of ordin-
ary city ga.«.
Weight for weight the ultimate illum-
inating power of a pound of calcium car-
bide is considerably in excess of the Il-
luminating power of oil. candles, or other
means. Because of tno faculty with
which it can be tran.sported, and the sim-
plicity and safety with which It can now
be utilized by means of lnod»-rn apparatus
for generation an extraordinary field i8
opened. , , ,^
Calcium carbide is now packed in 100
pound sheet steel drums, hermetically
.sealed and is thus transported with safe-
ty and without danger of deterioration,
and at low cott. to the most distant coun-
tries.
LANDSLIP ON RAILWAY.
As the result of continued rainstorms,
the Trans-Baikal railway has been
washed awav and damaged at several
points, while the railway running around
the southern end of 1-ake Baikal has suf.
fered very much from great landslips be-
tween the stations of Baikal and Slyud-
yanka, says the Sciartiflc American.
Two trains have been overwhelmed tjy
these landslips; two soldiers were killed,
several of them were injurea. and many
of the cars were wrecked.
THREATENED QUAIL PEST.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Galliver hav«
returned to the city from a mountain
trip taken into the hills of the northern

Mr. Galliver says that should the
quail .season be delayed for many
weeks more, it is his opinion the birds
would be able to take this country.
They are as plentiful as grasshoppers
in Phoenix in the summer time at
present, and as every day passes they
are rapidly multiplying.

ACETYLENE GAS.
The advance in the use of acetylene
since Its discovery fourteen years ago lias
been remarkable.
Important works for the production of
calc4um carbide are now to be found in
al parts of the world, notably Norway,
Sweden, France. Italy, Germany, Spain ;
and Hungary; at Niagara Fail.s and Sault i
Ste. Marie in the United States, and at !
several points in Canada. There is no j
civilized country where acetylene Is not i
in use, says In.^urance Engineering. In '■
warm and tropi-iial countries especially :
the rapiditr of advance is taxing the I
productive capacity of the world. ]
Calcium carbide is in appearance much i
uike anthracite coal. It is aproxlmately I
a ohemlcal combination consisting of two- i
thirds calcium and one-third carbon. In
you have any angry feeling or not
against Dantes. 1 hate him!' And can
one conceive of a closer parallel than
that between the .scene in which Gen.
Morcerf (the former Fernand). is un-
' ma.sked in the Chamber of Peers and
' the actual occurrence in the French
I senate, when Gen. Mercler was called
I a scoundrel by Senator Delped? We

star Lake. Minn.; Dec. 27. — John
Mjellele lost a luxuriant beard, of
which he was proud, in a peculiar ac-
cident w hile choppl ng wood.
He was splitting cut cord wood, and
his ax became fastened. He tried to
wrench it out, but, being unable to
do so. stooped down to get a better
leverage. He finally worked the ax
out of the split In the log. but as it
flew out, the pieces of the wood closed
on his beard, holding him a prisoner.
He tried gently to draw the l>eard
from the crack, bv.t each movement
served only to increase the pain, caused
by the tenseness of the hair.
He could not stand erect, nor yet
sit down without causing himself the
most ex^tuieite pain, the .oniy position
in which be could ease up the beard
being In kneeling dcwn beside the log.
Mjellele knelt by the log for several
hours, hoping some one would come
along and release him, but finally,
hearing the dinner horn, he decided to
sacrifice the beatd. and. taking out his
jackkiiife, severed it as neatly as pos-
sible, close to the chin.

Lisbon, Dec. 27. — ;A Christmas lot-
tery prize of $200,0 }6 was won by the
inmates of the workhouse at Evora.
All the paupers, numbering 1,000, sub-
scribed each a few coppers to buj' a
ticket in the drawirig. When they re-
ceived the prize they held a great fare-
well banquet, at which all drank
champagne. The svorkhouse is now
empty.
MARRIED IN PLATOONS.
Great Rush of Poor to the Altar In
London.
London. Dec. 27.^^ — Christmas was a
popular day for marxiages among Lon-
don's poor, owing ajjparently to the
temporaiy and comparative wealth
drawn from the benefits of clubs and
Christmas boxes. Couples went in
such numbers to some churches that
they had to be married in platoons to
avoid interfering with tJie regular ser-
vices.
The Commercial club wishes it to
be plainly understood that the meet-
ing to be held at the club rooms
this evening, when a discussion of
the proposed harbor improvements
will come up, is an open one, which
w ill be of the utmost importance to :
Duluth. The largest possible attend- ;
ance is desired, so that a liberal ex- j
presslon of the views of the people i
regarding the matter may be had. j
Congressman J. Adam Bede will
be in attendance, and his work in j
congress in connection with the har- '
bor improvements will be iti line
with the instructions and suggestions
ho receives at the meeting this even-
ing. Congressman Bede is as anx-
ious as any one that there should be ^
a good attendance, for he wishes to ;
know what the prevailing sentiment j
on the subject is, so that he may
act in accordance with the wishes of ;
the majority of the people. j
There are several plana for the im- I
provement of the Duluth-Superior ,
harbor before the congressional com- i
mittee on rivers and harbors, and :
the meeting tonight will probably ;
have a good deal to do with the
selection of one of these plans. One
plan under consideration. Is the
building of a breakwater at about
Fourteenth avenue east, running out
from the shore 6,300 feet. Another ;
plan calls for the con.struction of
two breakwaters, one running out
from the mainland into the lake at
a slant, so that its outer end would
be 600 feet from the outer end of ■
a similar breakwater extending out
from Minnesota point. This open-
ing for the passage of vessels would ;
be about 2,000 feet from the lake j
end of the canal.
The big vessel interests are advo-
cating a third canal, about two miles
down the Point, but the sentiment of
the general public In both Duluth and
Superior seems to be strongly against
this la.^t plan, and have already put
up a vigorous fight against It.
Aside from the canal improvements,
many shippers are interested in tha
enlargement of the harbor basin.

W.A.LKINQ WITH A MAP.
■ New York Sun: "The bicycle, and
later the automobile, gave a great im-
pulse to the sale of road maps, but."
«aid a man who takes his outings afoot,
"useful as good maps are to those who
by such means traverse the country. 1
maps are as they have always been, no
less useful and desirable for the pedes-
trian.
"I wouldn't dream of walking any-
where without a map. The map is not i
only a giiidf . but it is a companion and I
friend that tells y-ou about the country !
as you go along. It tells you not only j
precisely where you are at whatever mo- j
ment you consult It. and the distances
here and there, but Mith the countrj' out- i
lined before you and its features marked j
there on the paper you can find a far '
greater satisfaction In the walk than!
would l>e possible without the aid of i
this pocket c<">mpanion. !
'•.\slde from the help the map gives '
you in giiling wiiere you want to go, '
halt where you will where some Inviting :
prospect alti-acts and open up the map. \
"Only be .sure that you hold it correctly |
adjusted to the points of the .compass. '
and then the map will tell you what arm ,
of the sea or what bay or lake it is '
whose waters you see far away to the !
east, or what village it is whose church !
spire you see rising to the north; It will ^
tell you the name of the brook you have
just crossed, and of the brook you'll be
coming to a mile further along on tlie
read.
"With a map. in short, e%'ery feature of
the country near and far, is revealed to
you. You know not only where you |
stand at the moment, but with intelli- I
gence the country round about as far as 1
the eye can reach. A region new to you. |
it is all the more Interesting because of I
Its novelty, but the enjoyment you find j
in it is vastly broadened and helghtcntd i
by the Illuminating knowledge you gain j
of it from the map. I
"Invaluable as a guide, the map Is I
scarcely less to be esteemed In its capac- ]
ity of companion and friend for, telling !
you of what you see. It makes you. in ;
a way. most pleasantly acquainted where J
otherwise you might be simply a passing i
stranger. , , I

style, with minarets on either side,
and the dome in the middle sur-
mounted by the royal crown in gold.
The whole thing is inlaid with blue
and white enamels, and when in use
it is slowly rolled down to the sea.
The queen Mother and al.so the young
queen often use the royal box. but
it is so placed that they can bathe
in perfect privacy, though the "box"
is not enclosed.

SPANISH POLITENESS.
London Tribune: It has been said
that the French are the most polite
people in the world, writes our lady
corresponde-Tit in San Sebastian, but I
do not think any one who really
knows them will agree. However,
they have some charming little ways,
and - when they are rude It Is be-
cause they are, deep down, thorough-
ly selfish. My personal opinion Is
that the Spaniard is about the most
delightfully polite person one can pos-
sibly encounter.
If you a.'sk your way in the street,
of some ordinary woman, she will
almost certainly go out of her way
to accompany you down the street
and to carefully put you on the right
road. They are very cheerful and
gay,- but they are never vulgar — as
we understand the word in Eng-
land. Even the men in the streets
who stand and frankly stare at a
pretty girl do it in a light hearted,
pleasant way which does not give of-
fense. As to the manners of Span-
ish men belonging to the best soci-
ety, they are almost perfect.
Watch a Spaniard of distinction
address his mother or any elderly
lady and you will .see a manner
which is tender and cares.«;ln< and
at the same time exquisitely protec-
tive.

TALKATIVE M-\NS REVENGE. I
It was probably that feeling of goo<l I
comradeship which comes to nearly all
travelers which caused a man on one of
the sightseeing automobiles to put ques-
tions, point out details and air his views
generally the other day to a woman who
sat beside him, says the Philadelphia
Record. The woman was middle aged
and otherwise Ineligible for a flirtation, j
but she didn't like the man's volubilHy. 1
nevertheless, and showed her ability to
put a stop to It.
"Sir," she said, after a few attempts
on the part of the man, "you annoy me.
I don't know anything aoout Philadt-1- i
phia and have no llnformation to give. If i
you will kindly mind your own busi- i
ness I shall be grateful." Needless to .
sav that Uie talkative sightseer retired
a fireman, In , ^.fthm himself and made no further re-
' -"'- ^' mark during the trip. At its conclusion
the woman wanted to read a slip which
she took out of her pocketbook, but when
•»he reached for her es'eglasses she found
nothing but the chain on which they had
been fastened to her bosom.
She finally, after a useless search. ,
brought herself to ask the man who had j

SHEEP ROUTED POLICE.
One ninety pound sheep, fresh from
the hillsides of lower Virginia, upset
the equilibrium of the Southern police
station this morning, says the Balti-
more News. The sheep pulled a 200
pound police sergeant about as though
he had been a featherweight, charged
into a.nd dispersed a squad of district
sergeants and disturbed the judicial
dignity of Magistrate Lreake.
Sergeant Clark found the sheep seek-
ing pasture peacefully among the rank
luxuriance of grass on Howard street,
and, securing a four foot rope, he made
a quick hitch about Its neck and started
on the way to the station house.
"By the Rock of Cashel," vowed the
sergeant today, "I'd rather bring in a
pair of crazy men than another .sheep.
We upset more men, women and chil-
dren than I could count." It was just
at this point that the segeant dropped
the rope and the sheep charged into
a squad, consisting of one police lieu-
tenant, six sergeants and Magistrate
Leake, with the disastrous results re-
corded above. Sergeant Moreheiser
promptly named the sheep Billy the
Kid, said he is at present browsing
in the back yard of the station, where
his owner can claim him.

SPANISH SEASIDE RESORT.
At San Sebastian there is no such
thing as sensational bathing, says
the London Chronicle. Tights and
lace trimmed blouses — in the water —
are here unknown. Spanish women
of high degree are finished coquettes,
but they do not go in at all for
copying the ways of fashionable
beauties. .
The bathing dresses worn here are
very similar to those worn at the
seaside places on the English coasts;
very pretty and suitable, but in no
respect sensational. Dark blue serge
trimmed vrlth white braid or crlin-
son serge. In the mornings the
sands are crowded with bathers and
their friends, but no one dreams of
taking out opera glasses, as at Trou-
vllle. The whole atmosphere is dif-
ferent, in fact.
The royal bathing box — drawn up
on rollers on the sands under the
palace gardens — is exceedingly pic-
turesque; It is hullt in the Moorish
VALID EXCUSES.
A queer combination of excuses was
presented to a Judge In the United
States circuit court the other day by two
talesmen who desired to escape service
on a Jury in a civil case, says the Boston
Record. After the panel had been drawn
the Court asked If any of the jurj'men
desired to be excused. Two jurymen
stepped out of tlie box and went up to
the bench.
'•Your Honor." said the first. "I want
to be excused, because I ajn to be mar-
ried tonight."
"Certainly you may be excused," the
Judge answered with a smile.
"And is your excuse such a strong
one?* he asked the second man.
"Your Honor. I want to go to the
funeral of my mother-in-law." waa the
reply. ^ ,
He waa excused also.

BY AHORNEY GENERAL
AS GRAIN MONOPOLIES
Legislature Asked to Curb
Duluth and Minne*
apolis Chambers.
Corporations Held to Vio-
late Anti-Trust Law
of State.
Penalties for Issues of
Watered Stock Are
Called for.
Bt. Paul, Dec. 28.-(Speclal to The Her-
ald.)—Attorney General Young, in hlg
annual report made public today, advo-
cates the passage of a law by the next
legislature :o curb the power of the
Duluth and MlnneapoUs chambers of
commerce, which he says exert a monopo-
listic control over the grain trade of the
state. He also recommends an amend- \
m^nt to the laws relaUng to public service ,
cortorations to provide yienalties for issu-
ing riciitious or watered slock; also a pro-
vision ensuring a more prompt collection
of taxes due the state.
The rejMjrt also recommends that the
state timber board be g:ven more dis-
cretion In dealing with many existing
evils. The liUieritance tax, he says, should
be amended by giving the counties in
which the decedent resided an interest
in the collections. He asks for an ap-
propriation of $2:>,000 for additional office
help.
On the subject of the Duluth and Min-
neapolis chambers he says: "it is very
apiarent from the number of complaints
itc'-ived by this department recently, with
reference to the existence of combliiations
and associations within the state which
Wire formed for the purpose of restrain-
ing trade, destroying business competi-
tion and securing a monopolistic control
of the markets, that the legislature
should give very careful consideration to
the revision and elaboration of our pres-
ent anti-trust laws so as to give the prose-
cuting officers of the state better oppor-
tunity to reach existing evils and success-
fully prosecute the class of cases referred
to.
"In this connection, I desire to call at
tention to sections 3112 and 3113 ot the
revised laws, relating to boards of
trade and chambers of commerce. Un-
der the provlifiuns of the piesent law
(Which is simi»ly a continuation of the
old statutes on the subject) the grain
trade of the state has. in my opinion,
fallen into the hands of two close mo-
nopolies—one situated in Minneapolis
and the other at Duluth. These institu-
tions have the absolute control of the
grain market of the state and they
assume to have, under the law. the
power to exclude from membership In
their organizations any one considered
undesirable and the person, so ex-
cluded, is absolutely barred from em-
barking in tin grain trade by reason of
Its concentration within the organiz-
ations referred to. Tiiey also assume
to have the power to prescribe commis-
sions or ratts of profit at which they
and their associates shall do business
and to prohibit any member from doing
business at a less rate than taan pre-
scribed.

CRIME MYSTERY
STIRS BOSTON
Las Animas, Colo., Dec. 28. — On its
second attempt last night, the mob of
farmers, bent on avenging the foul
murder of Henry Lavenmeyer on
Christmas day, succeeded in getting
into the jail here and at once lynched
Henry Leberg, the white tramp who
beat Lavenmeyer's head to a pulp
with a hammer, cut his throat and
boasted that he had drunk his victim's
blood.
About forty men entered the jail
shortly before 9 o'clock and easily
overpowered the sheriff," undersheriff
and two other oflicers and locked them
securely in a room of the building.
Then the vigilantes went to the cell
occupied by Leberg. struck the
shackles from his limbs and took him
from the jail.
A larger body of men and boys were
waiting outside the walls and, when
the prisoner and his captors appeared
they formed a procession, marched a
short distance from the jail and
hanged Leberg to a telegraph pole.
The self confessed murderer made no
resistance and made no statement.
The members offered no violence and
no shots were fired during the entire
affair.
Before the mob reached the Jail
Leberg heard them coming. He arose
from his cot, dressed himself <ooliy
and awaited the coming of the aven-
gers of Lavenmeyer's death. The
leader of the mob made no effort to
disguise himself and It is declared
that the leaders are known to the jail
officials. Leberg killed Lavenmeyer
for arresting him because he had set
fire to a haystack when refused lodg-
ing>^.

Philadelphia, Dec. 28.— President
Alexander J. Cassatt, of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, died suddenly this af-
ternoon. The announcement of his
death was made from his office shortly
before 2 o'clock, in the following bul-
letin:
"Mr. A. J. Cassatt, president of the
Pennslyvania railroad, died suddenly
of heart disease at 1 p. m., today.
The symptoms were those known to
the profession as the Stokes-Adams
syncope, and as Is often the case under
these circumstances, death was In-
stantaneous."
Mr. Cassatt w^as born in Pittsburg,
Dec. 8, 1839, and was educated at
Heidelberg university and Rensselaer
Polytechnic institute. He located a
railway in Georgia in 1859-61, and
entered the Pennsylvania railroad's

made assistant engineer of the Phila-
delphia & Trenton railroad in 1863, and

Japanese Liner Wrecked

Goes Down.
London. Dec. 28.— Nine persons have
been found frozen to death on roads in
England alone during the past twenty-
four hours. The list doubtless will be
much lengthened when communica-
tion with localities now snowbound is
registered.
Forty to fifty women had narrow
escapes from death today, owing to
the collapse of the snow laden roof of
a Covent Garden warehouse, but most
of thern were rescued from the wreck-
age with only slight injuries. There
was no loss of life.
All the membtrs of the crew of the
Japanese liner Awa Maru from Ant-
werp for Middlesborough, which ran on
the rocks off Red Car last night, were
safely taken off by the life boats.
A telegram from Holy Head says an
unknown vessel has foundered off

rockets were sent up last night, and
a life boat pnt out. and searched for
hours but found no sign of the vessel
in distress.

young woman about 24 years old, wa.9
found on the grounds of the Massachu-
setts General hosiptal this morning, at-
tended by evidence that it had been
dragged from an adjacent house. After
a brief investigation, tne police de-
clared the case to be one of murder,
ihough it did not appear just how the
young woman had met her death.
Tracing the marks on the ground
over which the body of the girl had
been dragged, the detectives found that
they had led to a lodging house on
Blossom street, managed by Mrs. Susie
Brown. Later. Mrs. Brown and three
women occupants of the house were
taken into custody on suspicion pend-
ing a further investigation. Each
stated that she was unable to identiy
the dead girl.

AGED MONARCti
MAY SUCCUMB
Condition of King Oscar
of Sweden Said to be
Serious.
Stockolm, Dec. 28.— The bulletins is-
sued in regard to the condition of King
Oscar are so ambiguous that the public
has little idea of his actual condition.
The prevailing view in well Informed
Quarters Is that his recovery is doubt-
ful, owing to his age and the depres-
sion incident to the separation of Nor-
way and Sweden.
A gradual decline of the king's pow-
ers appears to be going on, although
the palace officials maintain secrecy,
preventing outsiders from making an
exact estimate of his condition.
The bulletin Issued this morning from
the king's physicians is somewhat full-
er, and practically confirms the suppo-
sition that the king's condition has not
been satisfactory. It is admitted that
his majesty.'s nights have been restless.
It reads: ^
"The king, whose sleep was less sat-
isfactory during the two previous days
and who therefore was somewhat
fatigued, again slept sufficiently last
night. His temperature last evening
was fiS.l and this morning it was 99.6.
The condition of his heart and lungs
is unchanged."
DREDGES FOR CAi^AL WORK.
Commission Calls for Bids For Two Ma-

Washington, Dee. 28.— Revised speci-

canal commission for two* pipe line
dredges;, to be used at La Boca and
Cristobal, ask for proposals for dred-
ges delivered, ready for work in Pan-
ama, one on the Pacific and the other
on the Atlantic side. Proposals are
also asked on the machinery knocked
down in Panama. These dredges are
required for harbor work, as well as
for dredging at the ends of the canal.
The commission now has two dipper
dredges at work in Panama, and a
third dredge of this description Is
now building. The cost of these
dredges varied from $100,000 to J102,-
W)0, and It is expected that the cost
of the proposed pipe line dredges will
be about the same.

St. Paul, Dec. 28.— (Special to Th»

Minnesota Shippers' association, and
James Manahan, its attorney,, that he
had decided to take no action on the
charges filed by them against the

is understood that it will be fortli-
coming in a few days. Mr. Ricketts
will have full charge of the property,
and all improvements and operations
will be under his direction.
Mr. Ricketts is a very big man in the
copper world. One of the Phelps-Dodge
crowd's best men, he did more to
make a first class property of Old
Dominion, which was on the decline
when he took hold of the work there,
than any other man. He is considered
one of the best engineers in the copper
mining business today, and the general
i opinion seems to be that the prime
movers of Greene-Canaea have acted
very wisely in securing him.
Mr. Ricketts has been consulting en-
gineer for the Cananea Central and
is very familiar with conditions in the
Mexican camp. He takes hold of his
new work at once and will be present
at the conference of those interested
in Greene-Cananea, which will be held
In Cananea some time next week.
That conference is to be a very im-
portant one. J. D. Ryan of Butte, Col.
Greene of Cananea and T. F. Cole of
Duluth will arrive in a few days. The
plans for the development and im-
provement of the Greene-Canaea prop-
erties will then be outlined and de-
cided upon.

INJURY CASE IS
TRANSFERRED
Oscar Blonfelt Suit to
Come Before Fed-
eral Court.
The personal injury case of William
Blomfclt, administrator of the estate
of Oscar Blomfelt, against the Ma-
honing Ore & Steel company, has
been transferred from the St. Louis
district court " to the United States
circuit court, and will probably come
up at the February term. The Ma-
honing company petitioned for the
change, upon the claim that it was
not a citizen of Minnesota, but of
Pennsylvania.
The suit was brought by Blomfelt
to recover the sum of $2,000 for the
death of Oscar Blomfelt, while the
latter was in the employ of the min-
ing company at the Mahoning mine,
near Hibbing. On Aug. 12, 1905. the
latter was working as a brakeman on
a tram car, and received injuries from
which he afterwards died.
It is claimed in the complaint that
the accident was due to the unsafe
and unsuitable apparatus used by
the mining company, and that they
are, therefore, responsible for Blom-
felt*s death.
The company maintains that its
engines and cars were all In the best
of condition at the time, and that
Blomfel's death was due to his own
carelessness.
THE PRESIDENT
GIVES ADVICE
To Young People Regard-
ing a Practical Busi-
ness Training.
"In my observation, extending over
the work of thousands of government
employes, I find that the young person
who enters upon public life without
having first secured a thorough prac-
tical business training, finds his pro-
gress enormously hampered at every
The truthfulness of this re-
mark, by President Roosevelt is
evidenced every day, not only in the
work of thousands of governmente m-
ployes, but also in the work of thou-
sands of the employes of firms of this
city and the Northwest. What rea-
sonable excuses have young people for
not following the president's advice,
to get this essential preparation for
business, when our city Business Uni-
versity affords such opportunities to
get it In so short a time and at so
slight an expense? The employers are
eager to have their employes get this
training and thus enhance the value of
their services.
The demand for such skilled labor
never was as great as It is today. The
diary record of our Business University
foV the year shows the demand for of-
fice assastants to have been almost
double its supply. Those who are em-
ployed during the day can. If they will,
take advantage of the Evening School
facilities. Young people will make nj
mistake by taking the president's ad-
vice.

TWOTOWNS
Plats Have Been Filed
at Duluth Land
Office.
Two new towns will be thrown open
to entry at the Duluth land office some
time in February, and the officials ex-
pect a big rush of claim seekers to
get a portion of the land. The towns
are located about thirty miles north of
Hibbing, and are only a few miles
from Bear River. They are township
63 north of range 21 and township 63
north of range 22.
The plats for the new towns were
filed at the land office today, but the
officials have not yet decided upon the
date for the opening, but It will be held
some time In February'. At the last
opening a couple of months ago, the
largest crowd which ever lined up at
the land office entry assembled, but it
Is not expected that so large a number
will try to get in on the February
opening.
The towns, which are to be opened,
are said to contain some very good
agricultural land and are partially tim-
bered. It is only a few miles north
that the famous Little Fork country
Is being settled up, and this land Is
claimed to be of the same order as
that of the Little Fork country. The
claims of a large number of settlers
or squatter.s are marked on the plat,
and this insures many contests after
tl^ opening.
The state will receive about 11.964
acres of the two towns in the shape of
swamp lands, besides the school lands.

PENNILESS
IN OLD AGE
Veteran Lake Captain Is
Arrested on Vagrancy
Charge.
Has Been Sleeping in
Halls and Eating Free
Lunches.
Not many lake vesselmen can be
aware of the condition that Alex Mc-
Farland, one of the old time vessel
captains, is in, or they would promptly
come to his aid.
Capt. McFarland was arraigned in
the municipal court before Judge Cut-
ting this morning, on a charge of i
vagrancy. He was arrested more out
of kindness than because he was a
dangerous or obnoxious person. For
weeks he has been wandering the
streets homeless, and living from free
lunch counters and on the charity of
the chance passerby, according to the
claim of the police. At times he has
been found by the police, asleep, stand-
ing up in the halls of buildings and
hotels. If he laid down on the floor,
the proprietors would throw him out,
and he fell Into the habit of leaning
against the wall in some warm corner,
and falling asleep.
His sanity is questioned by the po-
lice and the municipal court authori-
ties, and he will probably be taken be-
fore the probate judge.
When arraigned this morning, he en-
tered a plea of guilty, and Judge Cut-
ting gave him a sentence of ten days
without labor. In the meanwhile his
case will be investigated and some ef-
fort made to properly care for him.
When questioned by the court he
said he had quite a little property at
the mouth of St. Mary's river.
"How much is It worth?" asked the
Judge.
"Several hundred dollars?"
"Oh, ye-s."
"Several thousands, maybe?"
"Yes."
"Perhapp a million?"
"I hope so." said the prisoner.
Capt. McFarland is one of the old
timers in the lake marine service. He
ha.s sailed the lakes as a master for
something like twenty years. During
that time he has been employed by
eeveral of the large ve.ssel lines.
He has no family, and the only
known relative Is a brother who is liv-
ing on a claim in Cook county.

teens. . were sentenced to one year |

STRlmT
TOO NARROW
Double Car Track Would
Block Twenty- Fourth
Avenue East
Claiming that a 22-foot rctadway is
too narrow to accommodate two
street car tracks, some of the prop-
erty owners on Twenty-fourth avenue
east are protesting that the roadway
should either be made wider, or that
the street railway company should
lay but a single track between Su-
perior and First streets.
Above First street the roadway will
be wider, but for the one block be-
tween Superior and First streets,
where the rock work will be very ex-
pensive, the roadway will be but
twenty-two feet in width between the
curbs.
Contractor McDonnell has the con-
tract for the work of grading and
paving the street, and he is plan-
ning to begin excavating some of the
rock immediately after the first of
the year. It is planned to have the
rock excavated by the time the wea-
ther permits paving operations to be-
gin in the spring, and as soon as the
street is g:-aded the street car com-
pany will begin laying its tracks.
With a double track on a 22-foot
roadway, there would only be about
three and a half feet of space left on
each side of the tracks, and this
would iiot be sufficient for a carriage
to pass. If a carriage were left
standing on either side of the street,
a car could not pass on the track on
that side of the street.
A single car track down the center
ot the street would remedy the condi-
tions, and would probably be ample
to accommodate the traffic, as the
schedule could be arranged so that
the cars would not meet in that one
block. A single track would leave
sufficient room on either side for a
carriage or an automobile to pass.

ROADS WILL
NOTPROFIT
Ciaim Pass Abolishment
Will Bring Small
Money Gains.
A great deal of talk has been going the
rounds to the effect that with the aboli-
tion of passes, the revenue of the rail-
roads will be greatly augmented, but it
has been shewn by statistics prepared by
the railroad companies that the recip-
ients of free transportation, outside of th.e
classes favored by the n€w law, represent
considerobly less thiin 1 per cent of the
passengers carried. The 1 per cent will
not cut much figure in the increase of the
I'venue of the companies.
That the roads w^ill receive some money
from those wlio have been traveling
'•d«ndhead" goes without saying, but as
a general propfisition those who travel on
passes do not travel at all without them.
Contrary to the common experience, it
Is claimed that in the anti-pass case what
will be the traveler's loss will not be the
railroads gain.
There has been a policy among the
roads for some time to tighten up In the
matter of free transportation. In the
main, free transportation has been ex-
tended to certain classes as a form of
courtesy, and the privilege has been so
much abused that the railroads have
been forced to hold the practice within
bounds. When tlie new law went into
effect Oct. 2!<, the roads immediately put
on more restrictions in the issuance of
transportation, a.s required by the law.
The law practically placed everybody on
the same footing, forbidding the roads to
exercise any discrimination.
The anti-pass clause, it was provided,
.<hould not become effective until Jan. 1,
19t7. but the railroads btgan to operate it
to a certain extent from the day the law
w< nt Into efftct. They could not do so
in the matter of passes entirely, particu-
larly regarding annual passes. The legis-
lators were aware of that fact, as de-
monstrattd in making the clause not ef-
ficiive until the first of ihe year. By
complying as fur as possible v.ith the law
in its entirety, however, the roads have
br-en shaping things in such a way that
it. will not be a hard matter for them to
accommodate themstlves to the conditions
of the anti-pass provision.
There are a number of pass users who
are not required to give up their passes
before Jan. 1. These, it is clamed, will
not be renewed. Railroad employes, their
families, clerg>'men and people engaged
in charitable work are allowed free trans-
portation under the new act, but they
have been granted special favors before,
so there will be no maleria.1 reduction in
the list.

ANNA EVA FAY.
Miss Fay continues to draw crowds at
the Lyceum and mystifies all by her
marvelous powers. She will close her
engagement tomorrow night. The-Toledo
Blade, during a recent engagement In
Toledo, said of her: "Fact.s have come
to light which have attracted no little
attention on the part of those who have
witnessed her performances. None care
to venture any attempt to explain her
wonderful mystic powers, but all are
puzzled and are willing to admit that
many of her wonderful feats cannot be
put down with the charge of trickery.
Rabbits, 20 cent;i each.
Hog brains, 15 cents a lb.
Fillet of beef, 30 cents a lb.

any shape will give just one result^
goo.
A fillet of beef larded with bowknots
of gHstening white stuff and ornament-
ed with bunches of greenery is nice,
as is also a nice crown roast of lamb
which is the most interesting combina-
tion that the butcher makes. Delicate
head lettuce with bits of green onion
for a relish dressed with a properly
concocted mixture of oil and vinegar
is one of the luxuries of the season.
Mushrooms are to be had.
and collusion, nor be parsed aside as un-
worthy of attention.
•One ot the most astounding of her
feats has Just been made public through
the fulflllment of a prediction made by
her concerning the loss of lives of three
Toledo men in the wreck of the tug
Cliristian in the Detroit river, a month
ago. One of these was young Frank
Bremmer. the fireman, whose parents live
on Chicago street. Their deep grief over
the loss of a promising son was made
all the more poignant because his body
was not found. It was feared tiiat his
mother would loose her mind under the
calamity, and her sad case excited the
sympathy of the people of North Toledo
through the long weeks of searchmg and
waiting.
The neighbors suggested that the par-
ents consult Miss Fay. The parents had
no faith, but eventually consented to
yield to their urgent appeals. Miss * ay
told -young Bremmor's mother that nis
body would shortly float ashore on the
Canadian Bide of the river some twelve
miles below the wreck and six miles be-
low Amherstberg. giving a detailed de-
scription of the spot and its surroundings.
On Thursday afternoon la.st the par-
ents received word that the body was
found by the watchers in the exact spot
described by Miss Fay. It was brought
to Toledo on Friday afternoon at i- orest
cemetery.
THE BALTIMORE BEAUTIES.

traction, will hold the boards at the

"THE FAST MAIL."
"The New Fast Mail," Lincoln J. Car-
ter's original railroad comedy drama, will
be seen at the Lyceum next Tuesday af-
ternoon and evening. The beautiful scene
of Niagara Falls, the railroad train rac-
ing at full speed across the stage; the
long slowly-moving freight train of forty
box cars, the steamboat explosion on the
Mississippi are as familiar to theater-
goers as modern melodrama is itself.
"The Fast Mail" belongs to the old
school, and is not of the modern hastily
constructed play built around sconic
effects. A very efficient cast Is said to
be with the attraction this season.

AN INCREASE
IN THE SALARIES
Of Judges of the Fif-
teenth District is
Proposed.
Bemldjl. Minn., Dec'. 28.— (Special to Th«
Herald.)— One of the Important matters
to come up before the coming session of
the legislature, and which will affect
the Fifteenth judicial district, will be a
bill affecting the salartes of the district
judges.
The experience of the past few years
shows an increasing work for the two
judges. The district comprise.s the coun-
ties of Aitkin, Crow Wing. Casa, Hub-
bard, Itasca. Beltrami, Clearwater and
Hoochlchlng. an area of 18,900 square
miles, which Is over one-fifth the entire
area of the state and a little less than
one-fourth. The trip to International
Falls and return requires a necessary
travel of 1040 miles, and it takes four
davs to make tliis trip.
The entire district is comprised of the
newer counties of a large area and the
holding of the terms of court are a long
and tedious affair, and as eac*i county
has two terms there are at least sixteen
general terms and a number of speclaJ
and adjourned terms.
The idea is to raise the ealarles of the
Judges to the same amount as Is paid to
the judges in Ramsey, Hennepin and St.
Louis counties, who receive an addition-
al $1,500 each from the county treasury.
The proportionate share of each county
In the Fifteenth district for the two
counties would amount to only $31. 2o per
month.
CLEVELAND MAY FISH IN

making arrangements to send a liberal
supply of bass. pike, perch and sal-
mon to stock the lake, which is tn©

RACE FIRES
ARE^NNED
Negro Soldier Accused of
Wanton Insult of Doc-
tor's Wife.
Deadly Affrays Between
Whites and Blacks
in the South.
El Reno, Okla, Dec. 28.— Race feel-
ing is intense and threats of lynching
are heard on every hand as a result
of an attack yesterday afternoon, on
Mrs. T. Clifford, wife of a physiciati,
by a negro soldier of the Twenty-fifth
United States infantry.
Mrs. Clifford and her sister, Mrs. S.
N. Clark, were trj'ing to pass the sol-
dier, when he viciously seized Mrs.
Clifford around the waist and threw
her into a street, exclaiming that the
sidewalk belonged to him. Mrs. Clark
Bcreamed for help and the assailant
fled^ escaping before assistance ar-
rived.
News of the attack spread rapidly,
and the entire police department re-
inforced by several hundred men and
boys searched the town and country
The negro was in uniform and must
return to the post or become a de-
serter. Word was sent to Fort Reno,
and all absentees noted.
Both Mrs. Clifford and her sister are
positive thoy can identify the man,
and will go to Fort Reno and attempt
to pick him out from the soldiers who
were out of the post when the at-
tack occurred.
Meridian, Miss.. Dec. 28.— All the
troops sent to Scooba, the scene of the
recent race troubles, returned yester-
dey afternoon in charge of Governor
Vardaman, who went there to take
personal command of the situation.
Returning military officials comment
unfavorably on the reports that have
been sent out broadcast regarding the
situation in Scooba. The condition
there Is reported quiet and apprehen-
sion of further trouble is passed. The
governor has offered a reward for the
capture of the white murderers of an
Inoffensive negro.
Pensacola. Fla., Dec. 28.— At Del-
wood, a small town In the interior,
Christmas night, four negro brothers,
named Bell, entered the store of J. W.
Nichols, and, being intoxicated, were
ejected by Nichols, Later, Nichols, ac-
companied by a Mr. Dykes, started
home. They were fired on by the ne-
groes and both slightly wounded. They
returned the fire, wounding all four,
two probably fatally.
Selma, Ala., Dec. 28.— Near Nicholas-
vllle, yesterday, Alexander Jones, a
young negro, wounded another negro
during a crap game. Jones barricaded
himself in his house. Lee Hope and
Zeke Hope, white, tried to arrest
Jones, when the negro opened fire,
wounding both.
A crowd of white men gathered and
efforts were made to drive the young
negro from his house. Bob Jones,
father of Alexander, tried to carry am-
munition to his son but was shot
dead. Several negroes joined the be-
selging party and one negro, for a
reward of $5. crept up to the house
and set fire to It. Alexander Jones
never left the house and was burned
to death.
There was not the slightest rupture
between the races, whites and blacks
joining in the attempt to capture the
negro.
Leavenworth. Kas., Dec. 28. — An at-
tempt was made early yesterday to
wreck a trolley car near Fort Leaven-
worth but the obstruction on the track
was removed in time. A report that it
was the work of negroe soldiers, who
had trouble with a street car crew on
Monday night is being investigated.
NEW COUNTY
TO BE FOUGHT
Governor's Mahnomen
Proclamation Will be
Taken to Court.
St. Paul, Dec. 28. — Governor John-
son will issue a proclamation declar-
ing the creation of Mahnomen county
out of the eastern part of Norman
county and authorizing the couty com-
missioners elected at the recent elec-
tion to proceed with the formation of
the county government. The object-
ors to the creation of the county will
take the matter into tne courts.
This matter was before the gover-
nor yesterday in the form of a hear-
ing on the objections file dagainst the
Issuance of the proclamation. At its
conclusion, the governor said that he
did not see that there was any other
course open to him under the statutes
than to issue the proclamation.
A petition for the creation of Mah-
nomen county was presented some
time ago and the governor issued a
proclamation submitting the question
of the division to the voters of Nor
man county at the election last month.
The question of the division was car-
ried. The objectors state that the pe-
tition upon which the petition is based
•was defective and that it misrepre-
sented the valuation of the property.
DAVID FORGAN'S MOVE

Forgans retirement from the First Na-
tional bank came as a complete surprise.
That a new bank was to be formed with
the younger Foigan at its head was not
known to many of the men fr.miliar with

*^A Guilty Conscience
Needs no Accusing
Once upon a time a store warned its
patronage not to pay any attention to
anybody who charged it with ques-
tionable methods or exaggerated
statements. For shame! What a
policy!
We've no fear of such charges!
Twenty years of honest open, straight-
forward merchandizing in Duluth
has put this store upon a plane in
the respect and confidence of Du-
luth's people where methods and
statements are unquestionable. People
know!
They know the Glass Block guar-
antees every announcement.
They know the Glass Block is the
only store that gives their money back
(when asked) without question.
They know that not a price ticket
has ever been tampered with.
They know oiir "ads" are truthful,
and our sales "on the square."
They know that when we say "half
price" it means exactly half of the al-
ready lowest-in-town price — large buy-
ing makes it possible.
They know that "less than half"
means something under the exact half
of the reg*ilar original price.
NOTE! — See our clearance offer of
Suits and coats at half and less
than half. Read it carefully.
It s a pretty custom — grov^ing into popular favor — this giving a remembrance at the opening of the year,
to be a reminder from day, to day of your wishes for a "Happy New Year."
Then, too, there's so often a friend or acquaintance forgotten or passed by in the hurry of Christmas gfiving:— recalled too
late for Xmas, but in plenty of time for New Years— and, really, it's most as good.
And, perchance, someone "remembered" you at Xmas in a pleasant and unsuspected manner and you'd like to reciprocate.
"New Years," and a little New Year remembrance furnish the opportunity in the most convenient way.
In short, New Year gifts are proper— delightful. And the choosing is made easy in the rearrangement of the holiday lines
of dainty, useful and beautiful things that make splendid gifts.

by the First National bank.
"My n*w bank will be run consevra-
tively," he stated, "but, of course, I
shall be on the lookout for all the busi-
ness I can get. I do not doubt that I
will carry with me some little part of the

which he was to have on reaching
the age of 21 years. Later, she had
obtained a divorce from Pullman.
The motlier was released, but the boy
was held in the custody of the so-
ciety for further investigation.
Last night those said to be familiar
with the woman's history^ stated that
under the name of Lillian Mason,
daughter of Dr. Samuel A. Mason, a
physician of this city, she was, about
ten years ago, a stenographer In the
employ of the National Red Cross
society, and accompanied Miss Clara
Barton', head of that organization, to
• Armenia and to Cuba. George H.
Pullman, said to be a nephew of the
palace car man, was secretary of the
society at that time, and Lillian
Mason alleged that he married her
in 1896. Subsequently, however, he
successfully opposed this claim in the
courts. Meantime the woman was
dismissed from the Rod Cross serv-
ice, and was sent back to this coun-
' try from Cuba by Gen. Fitzhugh Lee.

appeared on the books of the New York
Life Insurance company, this transac-
tion was 1 complete sale of the se-

Trust company, however, recorded it
as a loan. Later, the shares were sold
by the New York Security & Trust
company with a profit to the life in-
surance company of $155,000.
This alleged false statement of salo

rules of the Prussian government that

corporation stocks in its as.sets, but
may include bonds in such assets.

The grand jury's investigation of the
I affairs of the New York Life Insurance
I company which resulted in the indict-
I ments returned today, was a direct
outgrowth of the investigation of the
insurance companies by a legislative
committee a year ago. So voluminous
was the testimony taken by the legis-
lative committee that District Attorney
Jerome was occupied for months ex-
amining it.
George W. Perkins, a former vice
president of the company, and a mem-
ber of one of the most inlluential finan-
cial firms in the world, was arrested
on the technical charge of larceny,
but that the proceeding was merely
a te.st case, was shown when it was
permitted to go through to the highest
j court in the state without any opposl-
I tion from the accused.
I The pressure upon District Attor-
j ney Jerome to proceed against high
offlcials increased rather than dimin-
ished as time went on. During the
spring months the public demand for
action was reinforced by Justice
, O'Sullivan of the court of general
I sessions who, in a sensational charge
j to a grand jury, directed them to
j investigate insurance matters, with
the assistance of the district attorney,
if he chose to give them assistance,
or without it if he did not. The
question was considered to some ex-
tent by tliat jury, but no definite
conclusion was reached, and the work
they had begun was left unfinished
when they were dismissed. On the
request of the district attorney, a
special grand jury was next drawn,
for the sole purpose of taking up the
Insurance cases. The real activity,
however, began only a few weeks ago,
after the conviction of George W.
Burnham, Jr.

San Francisco. Cal., Dec. 28.— The

PETERSON GIVES
HIS TESTIMONY
Tells His Side of the
Charles Gasper Estate
Story.
Charles A. Peterson, from the allow-
ance of whose claim against the Gasper
estate of W. H. Joerns, the adminis-
trator, has appealed, is having his
inning with testimony. The adminis-
trator asserted that Mr. Peterson s
claim of $190 on an alleged promissory
note executed by Charles Gasper, was
not a valid one, and that the probate
court should not have allowed it. It
was sought by testimony of witnesses
who knew more or less about Gasper s
business that Mr. Peterson owed him.
Mr Peterson is seeking by the testi-
mony of his witnesses to show that
the probate court proceedings were en-
tirely regular, that the note was a
valid one and that he did not owe
Gasper anything when the latter died.
L C. Harris, one of the attorneys
for John Millen, completed the argu-
ment today before Judge Dibell In the
accounting case of John McAlpme
against Mr. Millen. About two days
were consumed in the arguments.

New York, Dec. 2?. — Referee War-
ren Leslie completed his report of
the affairs of the Empire Life In-
Burance company, an assessment con-
cern yestfrday, but, pending filing
with the supreme court, refused to
discuss the affairs of the bankrupt
company further than to say: "The

Columbia Clothing Co.
Washington, Dec. 28.— Commissioner
Leupp of the Indian office will ask
congress to legalize the practice of
the department in permitting white
children to enter Indian schools, on
the same basis as Indian children are
permitted to enter white schools. It
is a policy of the Indian office to
break up the Indian reservation wher-
ever passible, allot the lands owned
by the Indians, and put the wards
ot the government on self-supporting
footings.
To do this effectively, old barriers
are being broken down, and the In-
dians in many sections of the coun-
try are attending the district schools,
the Indian bureau paying to the
county or state treasury the cost per
capita of tne Indian's education as
assessed against the white child,
which amounts to about $2 per quar-
ter.
In many localities of the West and
Northwest, Indian schools are the
only schools in widely separated
areas.
It has been Commissioner Leupp's
policy to permit white children to
enjoy the privileges of education
granted to Indian children, on the
theory that there was no law against
such a policy, and he Is now prepar-
ing an amendment to the Indian ap-
propriation bill, pending before the
senate committee on Indian affairs,
affirming the position he has taken.
NO BIG MEETING
AT THE LYCEUM
Men Will be Addressed
Sunday at Y. M. C. A.
Auditorium.
There will be no big men's meeting
under the auspices of the Toung
Men's Christian association, at the
Lyceum theater, next Sunday after-
noon, although a meeting will be held
at the auditorium in the Y. M. C. A.
building. This meeting is for men,
and will be addressed by Rev. R. S.
Reed of St. John's Episcopal church,
who will talk on the subject, "The
Sinking of the Balance Sheet."
The association officials are plan-
ning to resume the big meetings at
the Lyceum shortly after the holi-
days, although no speaker has yet
been engaged for the first one or two
Sundays. Secretary Lippold has sev-
eral good platform men whom he is
working to secure for these dates,
and the first meeting of the New
Year at the Lyceum will probably be
held on the second Sunday.
In the meantime meetings for men
v.ill be beld every Sunday at the
Y. M. C. A. auditorium, and will be
addressed by some of the local min-
isters upon subjects interesting and
helpful to the male citizens of Du-
luth.

NORSEMEN FEAST
AND CELEBRATE
Annual Banquet of Nor-
dun and Nora Lodges
Great Success.'
The members of the Nordun and
the Nora lodges, Sons and Daughters
of Norway, held their annual ban-
quet last evening at Kalamazoo hall,
and the affair was one of the most
successful ever given by the Nor-
wegian citizens of Duluth.
The ,4ecorations at the hall were
magnificent, consisting of American
and Norwegian flags and red, white
and blue bunting draped from the
ceilings and walls. The chandeliers
were decorated with crepe paper, and
the globes were covered with hand-
some Japanese laiTterns.
The ladies of Nora lodge had pre-
pared the feast, which was of many
courses, and very appetizing. Attrac-
tive bills of fare, naming dishes
which were peculiarly Norwegian,
were unique souvenirs of the occa-
sion.
An address of welcome by the
toastmaster, H. B. Knudsen, was at
the head of the program, and he in-
cluded in his remarks that the orders
which were giving the banquet con-
tained only those Norwegians who
were proud of being of Norwegian
birth or ancestry.
Several selections were rendered by
Westgaard's orchestra, which were
much appreciated, and John Olson
fcang a bass solo, which was very
pleasing.
The members called for an address
by B. B. Haugen of Minneapolis, who
IS visiting in Duluth, and he re-
sponded with a few words.
"Norsemen in America" was the
subject of Andrew Heimly's toast. In
his talk he stated that, while one
may be born in America, yet If he Is
a Norwegian in descent, he should be
proud of the fact that he is really
a Norseman, and should show the
same old dominating spirit of his
forefathers.
Rev. H. K. Madsen's toast on
"Christmas In Norway" was received
with great applause. Mr. Madson,

BEDE THINKS
PLAN IS BEST
Favors L M. Wlllcuts'
Plan for Separate Post-
office Building.
In conferring with L. M. Wlllcuts,
custodian of the federal building.
Congressman Bede Intimated yester-
day that he was well pleased with
the plan of Mr. Willcuts and other
department chiefs for a separate
postofflce buildirg. The plans for
remodeling the building were dis-
cussed by Mr. Willcuts and Mr. Bede
and the opinions of tne various offi-
cials in the building were considered
by the congressman.
The plan adopted by Custodian
Willcuts and the department chiefs
at their meeting Wednesday was
that the present plans drawn for the
remodeling of the building by Super-
vising Architect Taylor of the treas-
ury department, be abandoned and
that only a small addition for the use
of the postoffice be built at this time
and the remainder of the appropria-
tion of $125,000 go toward the pur-
chase of land for a separate postofflce
building.
This plan was considered the best
by Mr. Bede and he will use his in-
fluence with tho officials at Wash-
ington after hi;3 return, after the
holidays are over.
JAP SPIESJN HAVANA.
But War Department 1$ Not Worried
Over Cuban Reports.
Washington. D':c. 28.— The adminis-
tration Is not concerned over the rc-
' ports from Havana that five Japanese
'have been takini? measurements and
i photos of the fortifications of Havan.x.
jThe fact is, the government expects
this sort of thing. It Is well known that
foreign countries have measurements
land plans of all the fortifications both
here and in the outlying possessions,
just as the United States has plans of
the fortifications of other countries.
That is what general staffs are for.
So far as Japan's alleged desire to
go to war with the United States is
concerned, there is not a clear mind In
the administration, that does not
scout the idea. Japan cannot go to war
with arjybody. She is in debt $l,000,iX»0-
000 with no place to borrow more.

participating, of whom twenty-six
were traveling salesmen for the

Justin Zuger, assistant buyer for
the firm, carried out the role of
toastmaster in an acceptable manner.
Toasts were responded to by a num-
ber of the guests, and good fellc^w-
ship reigned supreme.
Andrew Qowan, president of the

it being the first time that he has
been out since his recent illness.
J. Burke, vice president and manager,
was also present. Owing to illness,

surer of the company, was not able
to attend the banquet.
The annual banquet is always held

DIES SUDDENLY
IN NEW YORK
Henry S. Wilson, Former
Duluth Lumberman,
Is No More.
Word has been received in DulutU
of the sudden death of Henry S.
Wilson, formerly a well known Du-
luth lumberman, a resident of the
city for many years, until about five
years ago. The sad event occurred
In New York, and no particulars have
been received. He was about 59 y^-ars
of age, and his health has been gen-
erally good, so that his friends are
at a loss to account for the cause.
Mr. Wilson has been living at Pal-
atka, Fla., since his removal from
Duluth, and no word of ill health
had reached here. He was here a
few months ago, and he had no com-
plaint to make then of his health.
Mr. Wilson was quite heavily in-
terested in real estate in Duluth, Su-
perior and Ashland. Real estate in-
vestments were always attractive to
him, and he placed considerable
money in them.
When Mr. Wilson first came to Du-
luth he was associated with Duncan,
Brewer & Gamble. Later he went
into the lumber shipping business,
and was always associated with the
lumber business during his residence
here.
Like many other lumbermen he
came from Saginaw, Mich. His
funeral was held in that city this af-
ternoon.
arrest me?" demanded the man.
"Don't you see I am an ofHcer?"
The policeman refused to allow
himself to be bluffed and whistled for
another policeman to help him.
The man thereupon dealt the po-
liceman a blow on the face with his
fist, and several passers-by were ob-
liged to lend assistance before he was
overpowered and dragged to the polica
station. Here he again declared that
he was an officer, and threatened tho
ofllclals with all sorts of pains and
penalties for Insulting the imperial
uniform.
Finally the policeman tore the uni-
form from his back, revealing under-
neath the coarse and dirty attire of
a gasworker. He then confessed that
he was a laborer, named Ewing, who
had made a wager in a tavern that
he could do what "Capt. Koeptnick"
did. He wept bitterly over his dis-
astrous failure.

Berlin, Dec. 28.— The unmllitary gait

street the other evening, attracted the
notice of several persons, who called
the attention of a policeman to his
appearance.

defied the powers.
Lagana, who is a Sicilian, heads a pow-

THE HARBOR PROBLEM.
Who shall decide when doctors disagree.
And soundeat casuists doubt, like >;^^jy,ij ^^^
The harbor situation was not cleared up very much by
last night's meetmg of the public affairs committee of the
Commercial club upon the matter of harbor protection.
There were many men of many minds, and since no
agreement seemed possible at last night's meeting, a
special committee of five members was appointed to in-
vestigate the matter and see if it is not possible to get all
Head of the Lakes interests together on some one propo-
sition that all can fight for.
The movement has traveled afar since it was launch-
ed by Capt. McDougall and the Commercial club some
months ago, following the great storm of November.
1905 Then, it being apparent that the Duluth canal
was not always safely negotiable in a storm, and that
it let in seas so vast as to make the harbor unsafe and to
damage property within the harbor, it was thought that
a breakwater extending out from the north shore would
not only protect the harbor entrance, but would make
the harbor interior calm and safe.
So under a resolution that Congressman Bede got
through a board of army engineers visited us, heard all
we had to say, heard all the shipping interests had to say,
and went back to Washington to think over the break-
water plan and also the central canal plan, advanced by
the vessel interests. The result of their deliberations
was a report in favor of an arrowhead breakwater of?
the Superior entrance. This rather absurd conclusion
does not meet any point sought by the Duluth inter-
ests, nor does it please the vessel interests, who want a
central canal because it is handiest to various largely
used docks.
Last night the discussion revolved about the Duluth
breakwater plan and the central canal plan. The latter
proposal is to put a 1,000-foot canal through the point
about three miles down, and to build inside the entrance,
to catch the seas— and to catch the vessels, too, a suspic-
ious layman might imagine— a large V-shaped break-
water. The old entrances, both of them, are to be closed
up under this plan, leaving only sewer entrances and
exits for the water to pass through, sewers which the
first northeaster might fill with sand.
It is a very important proposition, and the committee
must be pretty certain about the effect of the plan
they advocate. It was admitted bf^ the friends of the
central canal plan that no such arrangement as they
propose exists anywhere, to their knowledge, so what its
effect would be is more or less problematical. It must
not be forgotten in this connection that the army engi-
neers who heard all the arguments for the central canal,
both at Duluth and Detroit, in their report condemned
it more certainly than they did the Duluth breakwater
idea.
At the same time is is pretty evident that in order to
get anything Duluth interests must get together. Judging
from the attitude of the vessel interests, they are like
the fellow that said he didn't care what color his house
was painted so it was red; in other words, they don't care
what plan is decided upon so long as it is the central
canal plan. If this is proved to be feasible and safe, Du-
luth may have to accede to it, whether it believes it to be
•omething vastly worse than present conditions or not.
THE THIRD TERM LEAGUE.
We. the members of the Roosevelt Third-Term
National League, having at heart the great social
and political problems now confronting the people,
and in order that the rights of the masses be pro-
tected and that national harmony be preserved,
deem it imperative that Theodore Roosevelt be re-
elected to the presidency in 1908.
Thus the preamble to the platform of the "Roosevelt
Third-Term National league," which has just been start-
ed with offices in Chicago, and which promises to exert
a strong nonpartisan influence in behalf of the third
term plan.
This is a unique experiment in politics, and it is not
altogether without its doubtful features. The platform
reads well, and most of the people, doubtless, will agree
with its main points. But there is the president himself
to reckon with, and his emphatic and repeated declara-
tions that he will not under any circumstances accept
another nomination.
As to this, the league platform denies that he has
a voice in the matter. -Conceding that he does not wish
another term, the league intimates that he has no right
to refuse it if the people demand it, and the league fig-
ures that the people will demand it. ''
Too, in spite of the affection and confidence in which
Roosevelt is unquestionably held by the people, there
will be a natural suspicion of the third term idea, as
tending too much to one-man power, to a confession that
Roosevelt is the only man capable of running the coun-
try, and perhaps to a final suggestion that the fiction of
a republic be done away with, and that he be made em-
peror or dictator or president for life. This is absurd,
of course, but there are people that will take that tim-
orous view of it.
The league platform announces that we have "come
upon days fermenting with distrust and requiring firm
control." This is true enough, and it is also true that
President Roosevelt is exercising a firm control, and that
the mass of the people have confidence in him.
The league sees in him the only refuge between the
Scylla of corporate oppression and the Charybdis of
demagogy. It proposes to see that he is made president
again in 1908, and its movement is declared to be from
the people solely, and in no sense a partisan propa-
ganda.
The officers are not particularly well known. The
president is Edward A. Horner and the secretary is E.
C. Hayek. Its progress will be watched closely. It is
proposed to enlist members all over the country, and to
make it a national body of force and effectiveness. It is
so new a scheme that nobody can tell how it is going to
work until it is tried, so the experiment will be of vast
interest

IMMIGRATION.
If anybody fancies that President Roosevelt has ex-
hausted his magazine of messages to congress, he is mis-
taken. There are more coming, and one of them is very
important indeed. It will deal with the question of im-
migration. "^
With the constantly growing stream of immigration
mounting well over the million-mark annually; with the
quality of the immigration deteriorating every day; with
cities full of congested supplies of labor, tending by idle-
ness and the pauperism of the cheap labor this supply
produces to crime and debauchery; with a large and
growing doubt in the minds of thinking men whether
we can ever assimilate this great mass of immigrants of
varying races and instincts utterly foreign to the Ameri-
can spirit; with these shadows looming ever more largely
upon the social horizon, it is high time that congress
considered, seriously and prayerfully, the question of
regulating this flood.
Those who think immigration valuable base their
Ideas upon the quality of the immigration of twenty
years ago, when a large percentage came from Great
.Britain, Canada, the Scandinavian peninsula and Ger-
many, where we got some of our best strains of human-
ity, not only in recent years but even in colonial days.
These peoples were in thorough harmony with our insti-
tutions and our ideals, and many of them came here
for that very reason.
Today, however, only a very small percentage of our
immigration is from these sources. It is true that we get
good, wholesome citizens from all of the other countries
that are now sending the bulk of the immigration; but
it is also true that a very large percentage of it can
never become American in this generation, and even for
many generations will remain distinct, unharmonious,
even hostile strains. Certain nationalities congregate
by themselves, usually in large cities, and retain their
own languages, customs and habits. They provide cheap
labor, but they lower the standard of living upon which
the American workingman has been bred, and unless
they can be assimilated and turned into American citi-
zens they must inevitably lower the standard of the
American public spirit.
While many, mostly capitalists who see profits in
cheap labor, welcome this horde with open arms, others,
who value American ideals, view it with increasing hor-
ror and alarm.
The bars are not close enough together; admission is
too easy; the existing regulations are impotent to pro-
duce reasonable discrimination. Free admission should
THE ID£AL BALLOT.
It seems a little odd to Minnesota people, whose bal-
lot law is pretty well advanced, to note that in a number
of states, including some of the greatest, they are still
struggling to get rid of the incubus of the party circle
and the party emblem.
In these states the voter can cast a straight party
vote by a single mark in the circle under the party em-
blem, and as this is much the easier way to do one's duty
as a voter, a large proportion of the electors avail them-
selves of it. Others may, if they wish, mark each can-
didate separately, and this they must do if they split their
ticket, even to the extent of voting for but one candi-
date of the other party.
In Minnesota there is no party circle, and the voter
must mark each candidate of his choice. This is a step
in advance, though it is not yet the ideal ballot. The
best ballot is that of Massachusetts, where the candidates
go upon the ballot in alphabetical order, instead of in
party order. In Minnesota the party that led in the
vote at the last general election leads in the order on
the ballot. If the Republican party led, its candidates
will come first for each office. If the Democratic party
was second, its candidates come second on the ballot.
In Massachusetts, however, there is no such distinc-
tion. Candidate Brown will come ahead of Candidate
Jones, no matter what his party affiliation may be, sim-
ply because B comes before J in the alphabet.
This forces the voters to express their individual
choice of each candidate for each office. Ardent par-
tisans to the contrary notwithstanding, that is a better
ballot than the one which tends to promote party voting.
It is more in harmony with the spirit of free govern-
ment, and any other method is to be defended only upon
the theory that party bosses are better fitted to select th^
public officers than are the voters themselves.
The best ballot is the one that compels the voter to
make his choice between the opposing candidates, not
because of their partisanship but because of their fitness.
There is little choice, for the majority of the voters,
where the party circle is permitted. The choice under
the party circle system is left very largely with the
party bosses, and the public can be pretty generally de-
pended upon to follow the dictates of the bosses. We
have had plenty of evidences of what government by
the bosses amounts to, and most of us are anxious to
try a government by the people for a change. The way
to get it is to enlarge facilities for individual choice, and
to discourage undiscriminating partisanship and govern-
ment by the bosses.
The New York ballot, for instance, is so complicated
that most voters flee from its perplexities by putting a
single mark under the party emblem. The Minnesota
ballot is much better, because it requires that each can-
didate be marked, but it is still an encouragement to
strictly partisan voting because the parties regulate the
order upon the ballot. The ideal ballot is one where the
voter is compelled to look at the candidates first, and
their party name second. That is the Massachusetts
ballot
original thirteen made the general gov-
ernment. The Northern idea is chiefly
due to the foreign population."

A Mark Twain Story.
Told to a Senate Committee: I feel the
same sort of charity to everybody that
was manifested by a gen leman who ar-
rived at home at 2 o'clock in the morn-
ing from the club and was feeling so
perfectly satisfied with life, so happy and
so comfortable, and there was his house
weaving, weaving, weaving, weaving
around. He watched his chance, and by
and by. when the steps got in his neigh-
borhood, he made a Jump and climbed
up and got on the portico.
And the house went on weaving and
w^eaving, but he watched the door, and
when it came around his way he plunged
through it. He got to tlae stairs and
was so unsteady that he could hardly
make his way, b^t at last he got to the
top step. But only the toe hitched on
the step, and he rolled down and fetched
up on the bottom step, with his aim
around tlie newel post, and he said:
"God pity the p<x>r sail:)r3 out to sea
on a night like this."
What Was tlie Matter With Him?
Harper's Weekly: A Riclimond man
has in his employ a colored man of ad-
vanced age who, by reason of his thrifty
habits, had accumulated enough money
to defray the cost of his son's tuition at
a negro college in Alabama.
When the darky's boy returned to
Richmond after the completion of his
course, he proceeded, m ich to his par-
ent's didgust, to air his opinions on vari-
ous subjects In a more or less diffuse and
florid style of speech.
One day the old man took him aside
and addressed him as fo lows:
"Richard Thomp»oti Jenkins, I'se been
listenin' to yo' sel>eral days, an' It's my
opinyun dat yo' talk, an talk, an' talk.

Story of a Princess.
Kansas City Journal: .^ good story is
told of little Princess Mary of Wales. It
was said tha.t one of her aunts, wishing

A Check to Inflation.
Philadelphia Ledger: A very important
ruling is that of the attorney general of
Minnesota, Invalidating the proposed ad-
ciition of 160,000,000 to the capital stock of
the Great Northern railway. Ihis Min-
pesota corporation Is already capitalized
at $150,000,000 in shares with l)onds out-
standing to the amount of $215,000,000. ine
proposed issue of stock would make the
total capitalization of the system 54^.000.-
LOO on 6.000 miles of road, or above JTO.OO')
per mile for the main line and branches,
s .mc of which, it is said, could not have
co.sl more than $2,000 per mile.
•I'he dividends upon this excess of capi-
talization, the attorney general says, are
"an unwarranted tax" on the patrons ot
the road. Railroad regulation and rate
regulation would be a force if a domestic
company be permitted to increase its capi-
tal stock at will, to an unlimited extent,
e.specially "for the purpose of buying
stock of subsidiary companies composed
of the same stockholders."
The Minnesota law requires that any
Increase of stock must be authorized.
u:.on application and hearing, by the
state railroad commi-ssion. As application
has not been made, the attorney general
has thus a prior rea.son tor declaring the
issue Invalid, but the reasons he gives
why the lncroa.se should not be authorizea
are of general application. Tiie Great
Northern is a typical example of a .sys-
tem" built up in the manner described In
v'hich most of the states have hitlierto
been acquiescent. As we see in our street
railways at home, the vast Inflation of
capital produced in lliis way has Imposed
buVde.,3 upon tran.sportation that have
become InsufTerable, and that call at
^ast for limitation. If Minnesota has
retained sufrtclent power to put a re-
straint upon Mr. Hill's further expan.sion.
the effect must be of the utmost signifi-
cance. ^__
Chivalry and the "Unwritten Law."
New York World: If the facts were
correctly slated In the dispatches there
has apparently been a miscarriage of
Mississippi justice in the conviction of
Mrs Angle Birdsong of manslaughter.
lA' killing Dr. Butler for casting re-
flections on her character Mrs. Bird-
song showed a nice observance of the
accepted traditions. Dr. Butler had
been her physician and Intimate friend.
His relations with her were under a
double seal of confidence. ^If^he chose
to utter boasts involving the fair name
of his patient It was with a full appre-
ciation of the consequences.
The evidence was entirely requisite
to satisfy the ends of justice. There
was even some superfluous testimony
regarding emotional insanity. But what
had that to do with the verdict? The
defense was fortified by tlie best pre-
cedents. So sanguine indeed of her ac-
quittal were Mrs. Bird.song's attorneys
that they were prepared to submit their
case without argument.
Naturally the verdict has excited as-
tonishment. A woman and a Southern-
er and a senator's niece at that, con-
fronted with a Jail term of possibly
five years for avenging her honor in
the conventional way! Is Southern chiv-
alry declining and Is the weaker sex
denied man's refuge In the "unwritten
law" or is that law losing its validity?
If Mrs Birdsong's husband had done
the shooting, would he have been con-
victed? The Hazlehurst jury has Im-
paled Itself on the horns of an awk-
ward dilemma.
Tlie Frugal Japanese.
Boston Globe: A Japanese college pro-
fessor, who had spent four years at
Yale and two In Berlin acquiring his
foreign education, lives with his wife
at Kyoto, a city. In a rented house,
having a little garden, at a total cost
of 4CB yen a year, or about $m This
is divided as follows: Rent. $120; house
tax $5; servant's wages. $15; fuel. $13;
lient $5; clothes, $35. and food. $.50. His
salary is $400. and he Is applying $100
a year to the debt he Incurred to ob-
tain his education. A people who can
conquer domestic problems as do the
Japanese find no terrors In the econ-
omic burden of a war debt.
Too Realistic.
Kansas City Star: Winston ChurchHl,
the novelist, described at a dinner in
New York the difference between real-
ism and romanticism In Action: "To
make by meaning clearer." Mr. Churchill
ended "I will take the case of a young
man and a girl— sweethearts. The young

smiled faintly as she answered. "Ou,

New York World: J. J. Hill has fin-
ally laid the responsibility for the

the railroads were not so busy?

Cardinals and Nationality.
Newark Advertl.ser: At the present
time the College of Cardinals at Rome
has fifty-six members, of whom thirty-
five, almost two-thirds, are Italians. And
yet Italy constitutes only one-sixtli of
the whole Catholic world. The complete
college consists of seventy cardinals, and
proportionately Italy should have only
eleven. There are in the United States,
as per Catholic reports, about 14.000,000

Woman's WUes.
Ladles' Home Journal: As a married
couple were walking down one of the
main thoroughfares of a city the hus-
band noted the attention which other
women obtained from passers-by and
remarked to his better half:
"Folks never look at you. I wish I
had married some one better looking."
The woman tartly replied: "It's your
fault. Do you think a man will stare
at me when you're walking with me?
You step behind and see whether men
don't look at me."
The hu.sband hung back about a dozen
yards, and for the length of th6 street
was surprised to see every man his wife
passed stare hard at her and even turn
around and look after her.
"Sure, lassie!" he exclaimed as he re-
joined her. "I was wrong and take it
back. I'll never say aught about your
looks again." , , . ^

BUTTER AND
EGGS^FIRM
Storage Stocks May
Loosen Up After First
of Year.
Midwinter Dullness Will
Envelope Market After
This Week.
Butter and egg^s show no tendency
to come down from their lofty posi-
tion. The market may be a trifle
weaker, but there has been no change
In prices during the last few days,
and creamery prints are still selling
at 34 cents, with fresh eg^s at 33,
After the first of the year the
prices of storage butter and egga
are likely to take a tumble. The cald
storage houses are well filled, and
they have not yt?t been drawn upon
very heavily. The prices have been
boosted in sympathy with the price
of fresh butter and e^g^ but after
the first of the year holders of stor-
age stock generally become nervous.
A mild winter such as last year's,
means a big loss to them, and there
Is the prospect of carrying over the
big stock after the fresh supplies be-
gin lo come in in the spring. An
effort is always made, therefore, to
reduce the coid storage stocks as soon
after the first of January as possible,
so that there is likely to be a break
In the market at that time.
The prices now a.^ked are about as
high as the market has ever been
In Duluth, and any further raises
would result in a dropping off in the
demand, as the prices are now about
as high as the ordinary householder
can afford to pay.
• • •
The mild winter dullness has not
yet settled down on the market, but
It is due next week. All that Is hold-
ing It back is the New Year's trade,
which will keep the market active for
another day or two, but aftt^r next
Monday the dealers alon^ Michigan
street will have little to keep them
busy.
"With nothing but the staple fruits
and vegetables in the market, there
la nothing to stimulate It. and during
the months of January and February
It Is always very quiet along the
street.
The dealers all report a very good
Christmas trade, with a gx)d de-
mand for all kinds of fruits, nuts.
Seen vegetables and poultry. In
ct, the conditions were never bet-
ter, and the commission men can
contemplate the prospect of two
months' dullness with tranquility.
• • •
The apple market keeps steady
with the prices firm. The tendency
of the market is upward, and the
prices are likely to be boosted after
the first of the year. The demand
lis good, and the stocks are being
I steadily drawn upon. There is slill
I an ample supply on hand at the
) Head of the Lakes, but there Is no
danger of a surplus, and the dealers
i can afford to hold for their price.
The supply of oranges is rather
' li^ht at the present time and the
market Is firm. Florida oranges are
supplying a large part of the de-
mand, as the shipments from Califor-
nia are small.
The cranberry- market is a little
weaker since the Thanksgiving and
Christmas demand has ceased, and
the price has fallen off a trifle.
Bananas are plentiful, and some
Cuban pineapples are on the mar-
ket, selling at $4.50 a crate.
• • •
No change takes place in the po-
tato market. The price remains
quite firm at from 45 to 48 cents a
bushel, which is the figure that has
been quoted for weeks past. A cold
snap might bring higher prices, but
there does not seem to be any pros-
pect of a potato famine this winter,
such as has been experienced in
some former years.
The prices of the other staple
vegetables remain unchanged. The
market Is dull and the list remains
about the same from week to week.
There is a fairly good demand for
certain kinds of hothouse green stuff,
but the roots, such as beets, car-
rots, turnips, and rutabagas are
dull.
• * •
The poultry market is rather
quiet since the Christmas rush, al-
I though the New Year's demand la
Icau.sing it to show some little ac-
j tivity. The .stocks were fairly well
j cleaned up by the Christmas trade,
jand not much will be carried over
after the fir.st of the year. "Whatever
I is left will be placed in cold storage
and used to supply the market dur-
ling the winter months. The re-
jcelpts of poultry during the months
of January anti February are very
i light, as the farmers who have car-
iried their poultry over the holidays
• Intend to winter it for the eggs and
I breeding In the spring.
I The prices remain the same as
itho.se which were quoted for the
Christm£uq trade. Turkej's are selling
at 19 cents, and spring chickens at
12 cents.
• • •
The dem.and for fresh meat is
brisk at the present time. The
consumption of meat is always heav-
jier during the winter months, and
I the branch packing houses all report
Jan active market. The prices remain
about the same as la.st week, with
lard a couple of points higher.

Topeka, Kan., Dec, 28. — W. J.
Bryan practically admitted In an In-
terview here yesterday that he would
be a candidate for the presidential
nomination before the next Demo-
cratic national convention.
"While I have not yet announced that
I would be a cadldate," said Mr.
Bryan. "I have not stated that I would
not be a candidate and do not Intend
to. Such a high honor as the presi-
dential nomination Is something that
no American citizen should decline."
Mr. Bryan declared that he had
never stated that President Roosevelt
had "stolen the thunder of the Dem-
ocratic party," although he said the
president was now advocating many
things favored by that party.
Mr. Bryan said there was no foun-
dation for the story that had been
printed that he would, if nominated,
favor the selection of Senator William
J. Stone as chairman of the Demo-
cratic national committee. "I have
never told anyone anything about the
organization of the natioal commit-
tee." he said. "I do not want to see on
the committee men who are not good,
clean men, who want a government
for the people and not for the trusts.
I do not care to see men on the com-
mittee IHie Roger Sullivan of Illi-
nois."
In speaking of the railroad legisla-
tion enacted by congress at Its last
session, Mr. Br>'an stated that he did
not believe the legislation was what It
should be, but he thought the presi-
dent took what he could get. He
said the giving of railroad ^passes was
one of the most corrupting Influences
exercised in this country.

THRILLING
STORY_TOLD
Of Eartliquake in Chile
in Letters to Dublin
Doctor.
Irish Parliamentary Mem-
bers Demand Tobacco
Restriction Removal.
Dublin, Dec. 28.— It Ja a far cry from
Santiago and Valparaiso to Dublin, and
It is a long time slr,ce the Chilian earth-
quake, and yet what are perhaps the
best-written letters In connection with
that Incident are those which have been
received by a well-known Dublin doctor
from his son. signed "Jack." and dated
at "Internado Natl anal, Santiago. Chill,
August 31." The letters are certainly
worthy of a fax wider circulation than
ilias been given them. Among other
things, the son of the doctor writes:
"Here we are, ll/in« In easy luxury,
the guests of the government, lodged,
fed, clothed and soDplied with everything
we could require, from a toothbrush to a
portmanteau, by the personal order of
the president. The story of the catas-
trophe is a frightful one.
"The evening belore the earthquake,
when we were playing football in the
Potnero, we were :jurprised by a triple
rainbow of extraordinary brilliance, so
bright that the glow of Its colors tinted
the atmosphere all around. It was the
talk o* the evening, and the old Spanish
major domo said It predicted bad weath-
er. Next day rain fell at a high tem-
perature, and no one thought any mora
of tihe matter. We had dinner as usual
at half past 6, and when the boj's went
to study I went to my room to read. I
spent my time looking through the
Graphic about the king of Spain's wed-
ding, and saw some photos of the San
Franclso disaster in the same number.
'At ten minutes to 8 I felt a strong
'trembler,' but, thinking It was only our
ordinarily little blood-curdlers. I did not
at first take any rotice. With increas-
ing rapidity the trembling Increased, and
when I felt the whole house swaying I
jumped up and opened my door, but, as
I did, there was a frightful torremento—
earthquake— the house bounding out of
its foundations. jerJdng. *rrestllng. strain-
ing in the hands of some awful super-
natural power, the walls ripping open,
gaping idiotically, and then falling with
a sickening crash. I clung to my door,
the safest place in such a danger. The
house seemed to have gone mad, and
danced in its homicidal frenzy. Wash-
stands, chairs, bookcases, lighting lamps
were flung about the room like confetti.
The rumbling continued, but the smash-
ing and crashing, tlie crying, talking and
shouting of orders rose loudly. I rushed
into my room, tripping over my book-
case, picked up my lamp and blew it
out. The next room was empty; Griffith
had flown; his lamu was blazing on the
floor. I ran to the stalrcaise and shout-
ed for some ore to come; tliat the bouse
was on fire.
"I saw two panlo-strlcken little boys
at the foot of tlie jjtairs standing like a
stag before the foot of the pack. I
pushed them Into the garden door and
found Toro, a boy of about 18 (a nep-
hew of Balmaceda. the great president
of Chili), and two boys of about the
•ame age. Nietos, of the great Uioto
family, the great millionaires of Valpal-
ralso. We rushed upstairs, and, gather-
ing bed clothes of all sorts, tackled the
flames. It was a horrible ftght; the bed
had got the flames; the smoke was
frightful, and any moment our retreat
might be cut off by the collapsing of
the walls— as it v.as they gaped and
grinned, and sometimes threw bricks and
mortar at us and generally behaved like
a half-witted boy at a burning house. At
last we gave a cheer; we had won; the
enemy's fire had c<^i.';ed and great clouds
of smoke alone arose. I asked for the
light one was holding; a moment I poked
about on the floor I was looking for
mother's photograpli; I could not find It.
Nleto picked up my big top coat and
begged me to come. We must go out
and put out all the lamps In the house.
What a terrific journey. Sometimes It
was necessary to ,?o back and up and
down the stairs ajiither way because of
the fallen walls. At last we were able

one thought of De Quiney's 'Essay on

—that is, miles of walnut trees, and In
the distance the Andes; and to the west
was our residence; and behind It the

some said his house had caught fire; and
whfn we went to see we found It was
ours, and the fiames had got beyond con-

out of the window. The second earth-
quake came then, and as the walls con-
tinued to crash, we abandoned the house

The statement of the Catholic Herald
to the effect that an agreement between
the Irish party with reference to the
Catholic schools had been virtually ar-
rived at is denied in circles where the
denial comes with the weight of authority.
The government and the representatives
of the Irish party often come close to
agreeing upon the general principles con-
nected with the Catholic schools, but al-
wa3's and ever failure to agree comes
whenever details are taken up for serious
consideration.
Notwithstanding the exceptionally heavy
emigration this year, an increase would
appear to have taken place in the popu-
lation of Ireland during the September
quarter. The excess of births over deaths
was 9.6&S and the emigrants numbered
8,459, so that the increase wsis about 1,200.
It is a small balance to build hopes upon,
but some there are who argue that it is
a sign that the bottom has been reached
In the depletion of Ireland's population,
and that a time is near at hand when the
figures will show an increase in the popu-
lation not only for a single quarter, but
for an entire year.
Every member of parliament for Ire-
land of every shade of politics is de-
manding the repeal of the law prohibit-
ing tobacco growing in Ireland. The
names of ninety-nine Irish members
are attached to the memorial which
William Redmond has presented to
the prime minister on the subject. Four
nationalist members have not append-
ed their names because of absence from
the country, but there is not the faint-
est doubt that they, too. are stronglly
in favor of the prayer of the memorial.
Never before has there even been such
unanimity among the Irish members,
and in this respect, too. optimists are
arguing that a new day is dawning
for Ireland when all of the members
can act as a unit even upon fiscal and
industrial questions. Owing to the per-
sonal bitterness and differences of opin-
ion growing out of home rule problems
a quarter of a century ago this would
have been Impos.slble. William Red-
mond has summarized the situation so
far as the tobacco growing is concern-
ed. He claims that the Irish are mere-
ly asking for a privilege which was
theirs until deprived by a statute as
late as the reign of George III. The
growing of tobacco at that time was a
prosperous and progressive Industry in
Ireland. Success had been achieved;
further development was assured. But
a demand arose In England for Its .sup-
pression, and it was suppressed without
the slightest consideration of the Injury
inflicted on Ireland. The prohibition
was preceded by the usual committee
of inquiry, but this did not help In the
economic disasters which followed. In-
deed, Irish economists have plainly
pointed out that it was owing to the
taking away of a dlver.sification of In-
terests tii-at the country suffered so se-
verely later because of the blight of
the potato famine. Had there been a
diversification of Industries, though
the blight might have destroyed the
potato crop, and though Ireland might
have suffered severely, had there been
other things like tobacco growing to
fall back upon the destitution would
not have been so terrible.

FLIGHT OF
NIGHTHAWK
Travels From Patagonia
to Alaska and Back
Again.
Covers Twenty Thousand
Miles in His Annual
Migration.
Kansas City, Dec 28.— The greatest of
bird travelers is passing through this
part of the country on his way from
Alaska to Patagonia, says the Star. This
is a distance of 10,000 miles and the night
iiawk or "bill-bat" travels it twice a
year to get away from the cold of win-
ter.
When winter begins in Patagonia, South
America, he flies away upon his long
journey of 10,000 miles to the Arctic cir-
cle. When winter begins there he re-
turns again to the extreme southern-
most land In South America. Thus he
travels 20,000 miles each year in search
of a climate that suits him, something
that few human travelers ever do.
Nature has so constructed the wings
of this bird that it is capable of long
periods of flight. It soars through spate
without any apparent motion of its wings
and moves with the swiftness of a speed-
ing arrow.
The plover and nlpe family, which are
known as shore birds, have an extensive
flight. They pass through here in the
early spring on their way North. These
birds will generally stop only for a few
days, feeding around the shores of our
ponds and lakes; then they are off for
other feeding grounds. They keep mov-
ing northward until they reach their
summer homes in the barren wastes of
the Arctic circle. There upon the gravel-
ly beach they nest and rear their young.
As soon as the young birds are ready to
fly the voyage southward begins, the old
birds leading the way. These birds per-
form extensive migrations.
They returne to us on the southward
Journey In September and October, pass-
ing mostly with rapid flight and princi-
pally at night, and feeding during the
day.
In some instances, with favorable
winds, these birds have been known to
speed through the air at the rate of 100
lo IWt miles an hour. They go as far
south as the pampasses of Uruguay and
Paraguay, and the great marshes of
South Africa.
The barn swallow, which is with us
all summer, goes to the Southland. It
is Interesting to watch this bird pre-
paring for its fall migration. For sev-
eral days, possibly a week, before the
swallows depart southward, they will
collect in great numbers upon the roof
of some bam or on the fences, and set
up a great twittering and chirping, as
If they were discussing plans for the pur-
posed Southern trip.
Finally, as if a resolution had been
unanimously adopted, the birds arise
amid a great chattering, and sail
straight for the South. As the feathered
host moves along, they gather recruits
from various points along the route
and when they reach the southern coast
of the United States they disappear,
to be gone five months. But where
they go has puzzled the greatest bird
observers. Did they drop into the
water and hibernate in the mud, as warf
believed of old, their obliteration could
not be more complete. In the last week
in March a joyful twittering overhead
announces their return to the gulf
coast on their way North.
The Baltimore oriole, that brilliantly
colored little warbler, whose sweet
notes can be heard with us during the
summer, has Ug winter home In the
southern part of Mexico. Th«^re Is a
tradition about the naming of this gor-
geous bird which runs this waj : When
George Calvert, the first Lord Balti-
more, visited Virginia, which then In-
cluded Maryland— in 163. he wrote to
his friends In England that nothing
In the Chesapeake country so delighted
and cheered him as the color and song
of the oriole. Afterward the orange
and black— the colors of this bird— be-
came the heraldic colors of the noble-
men, who were landed proprietors in
Maryland, and the name of Esffland's
great peer was attached to the bird.
The rey-eyed vlreo, a little green
warbler that arrives In this section in
the first part of May and remains a
short while and then goes northward
as far as British Columbia, passes
throTigh this section on Its journey to
its winter quarters In the central and
northern parts of SouTh America. In its
spring migrr.itions this little bird pre-
sents a problem that has been unsolved
by field investigators.
When on Its northward journey it
appears on the southern coast of thia
country In the early spring and travels
about twenty miles a day for six weeks
until It reaches the northern part of
Nebraska, when just about this time,
and before they have been seen in any
of the intervening country, red-eyed
vireos are noted in Southern British
Columbia, 1,000 miles to the northwest.
Is the presence of this bird in British
Columbia in so short a time to be ex-
plained by the theory that it suddenly
prows tired of its slow pace and sud-
denly flies 1.000 miles in a single night.
Such a problem as this is what vexes
and fascinates the ornithologist.
The season of migration is full of
perils for myriads of winged travelers,
especially for those that cross large
bodies of water. Some of the shore
birds, such as the plover and curlew,
which take long ocean voyages, can
rest for some time on the waves tl
overtaken by storms, but the land birdd
are not so fortunate; If their feathers
once become water soaked they are al-
most certain to perish In the waters of
the ocean. Observers say that such
accidents are not Infrequent.
A few years ago some observers on
the deck of a vessel near the Louisiana
coast of the Gulf of Mexico saw large
numbers of birds, mostly warblers fly-
ing northward on their spring migra-
tion. The little feathered voyagers
j had nearly reached the shore when a
j storm from the north struck them and
I they were blown out to sea. Being
(unable to contend with the elements,
they fell into the gulf and were
drowned by hundreds.

chief cashier and buokkeeptr a widow i
named Mme. Ducloux, who had an
only child. Beatrice, a girl of 10 years.
Verdouelle took a fatherly fancy to
Mme. Ducloux's daughter, and had
her trained in a commercial Institute,
with a view to making her assistant ■
bookkeeper to the firm.
Beatrice grew into a beautiful !
young woman of about 20. She as- |
gists her mother in the cashier s
office But one day, about six months
ago Mme. Ducloux died suddenly In
the' office from heart disease. Bea-
trice thought that Verdouelle would
give her the pc-st of chief cashier,
and had a secret hope of marrying
Jean Dtplet, a young traveler in the
same firm, tvho loves her and is
loved.
But Verdouelle. now an elderly |
bachelor, has gone on taking such an I
Interest in Beatrice that his fancy
has ripened Into strong aiTection for
the beautiful young woman. He de-
termined to adopt her as his daugh-
ter. She was overjoyed at such good
fortune, for Verdouelle Is wealthy.
Verdouelle withdrew her from the
office, placed her at the head of his
private house, and began to take
■teps for legally adopting her.
One day Verdouelle heard from a
friend a story which greatly upset

In jealous rage Verdouelle rushed up

that she loved Deplet, but Verdouelle
was obdurate, whereupon Beatrice
left her adopted father's house, he
vainly applying to the police to stop
her. The police were powerless to
interfere, as the adoption formalities
were not completed. Beatrice went
straight to her lover.
Beatrice found employment at $5 a

the Duluth houses is to be found at
the Kelley-How-Thomson company's
building, on lower Fiftli avenue west.
The firm, which carries on a whole-
sale hardware business! with the re-
tail stores in the town;} and cities all
over the Northwest, and pretty well
out toward the coast,, has called in
all its traveling salesmen^^to receive
special Instruction along various lines
of goods that the house carries, and
which it wishes to get into the retail
stores. The traveling men are ex-
pected to drop all thought of at-
tempting to get business with their
customers in their respective terri-
tories at this time, .ind to devote
their whole attention to the business
of getting thoroughly posted concern-
ing the goods they are to put out the
coming year.
Specialists from the manufacturing
plants are sent here to give the sales-
men lectures concerning the quality
and good points of the materials they
are to sell, and the s:.lesmen are in-
vited to ask all the questions they
may desire with a view of getting
thoroughly posted on f^very point. If
the goods have not mtt with a ready
sale In the past, the salesmen are
asked to state the nature of the
complaint, and then the specialist
Ects about explaining fway the draw-
backs, showing the salesmen where
they can strengthen their argument
with the complaining merchant, and
perhaps induce him to give the ma-
terials another trial.
For this chool for Its salesmen
the Kelley-How-Thomson company
has provided a lecti.:re room in its
building, and regular hours are- be-
ing observed by the traveling men, as
though they were back in their school
days. So thorough is the plan of
work that the countrj' customer who
comes in and asks to see the travel-
ing salesman that makes his terri-
tory Is requested to ''vait until after
school hours, the salesman being very
busy, and can hardly be seen until
the intermission.
It is said that the jobbing concerns
have adopted the school of instruc-
tion idea pretty generally, for the
reason that thtnr experience in the
past year or two has demonstrated
that thcdr traveling salesmen, when
they go out from the house loaded
with Information concerning the goods
they are to sell, have been able to
make larger sales and secure better
satisfied customers thm in the olden
days when sales were made of goods
of which the traveling men knew
little and because of which ho had
ditticulty on his next trip squaring
him«olf or his house, with some dis-
satisfied retailer. Oftentimes the
salesmen were unable to make sales
of really meritorious goods, because
they did not them.selves understand
all the good points, and were not
able to present them in a convincing
way to the merchant.
Instances are known where the
wholesale houses, during the school
of instruction period, have even
turned down good-sized orders from
their customers, because the latter,
if they came to the city to do the
buying would require the time of
the salesman to take them over the
house and provide sorae means of en-
tertainment during the customer's
stay in the city.

The Columbias are expected to give

will have to meet after New Year's will
be the Morks of the West end. Efforts
have been made for some little time to
get a game with the Morks, but no date
has been set as yet.
Owing to the fact that they are plan-
ning a trip to the Copper country during
January, the Northerns are especially
anxious to win from all the local teams
and leave Duluth with a clean record of
victories.

Houghton, Mich., Dec. 28.— The Portage
Lake team was given a terrific drubbing
by Calumet here last evening, being out-

the game.
The Calumet forwards played rings
around the home players in the first half,
while the Lakes appeared unable to
penetrate the strong Calumet defense.
One minute after the commencement of |
the first half Scott scored No. 1 on a !
pass from Morrison. Twelve minutes i
later Calumet again scored and then
Bellefeuille registered on a pass from
Morrison. Half a minute later there was
another by Morrison, and the minute the
puck was put In play Scott again regis-

With eight minutes yet to play In the
first half, Decorie scored No. 6. The
Lakes showed great improvement in the
second half and save Nicliolson plenty of

to be thrown out, la the one which saye
that in tlie absence of any player from

subject of no little trouble, as the

VERDICT OF TRESPASSER.
Jefferson City, Mo., Dec. 28.— Judge
Lamm in the supreme court, handed
down an opinion, denying the right of
a person trespassing (»n railroad prop-
erty to bring suit for damages.
George Frye brought an action
against the' St. Louisi Iron Mountain

cover $20,000 for injuries sustained by
being struck by one of the company's
trains in 1903. He was walking on

Chicago, Dec. 2S. — Western league
baseball club owners, the majority
of whom reached Chicago last night,
are holding their annual meeting hero
today. The election of officers and
routine business^ according to the
magnates, are tlie only matters sched-
uled for consideration, but it is pos-
sible the question of increasing the
size of the organization will be taken
up.
the tackle position; limiting the oper
atlon of the five-yard zone on each
side of center so that a forward pass
may legally cross and score; allowing
one more down inside the twenty-five-
yard line; extending the playing time
to thirty-five minutes.
These proposed amendments were
thoroughly discui'sed, the fourth one
attracting the most attention,, but the
committee did not decide on any
changes.
The new committee will be elected
at a .conference of all the colleges in
the intercolegiate association.
The general sentiment, however,
appears to be that the rules should be
allowed to stand one more year. The
coaches and players have hardly had
time to master their intricacies, and
another season Is needed for a thor-
ough test. They have undoubtedly op-
ened up the play and decreased the
roughness of the game.

In four more days the Gans-Her-

of the past.
Gans is about a 3 to 1 favorite in
the fight. If the negro has been train-

business, he should prove a rather
easy winner. He has Herman beaten

work on his new building In this city.
Martin Is worth more than $25O',C0O
and Is president of telephone com-
panies capitalized at double that
amount, but he likes to see a little" of
his own handiwork about his buildings
and has plastered the arches in a
number of them.
When the new building was to be
plastered here Mr. Martin had a hard
time to find help and finally gave It
up. He doiined u white suit and, with
a trowel In hand and mortar board

Budapest, Dec. 28. — Emperor Fran»^
Josef had an unusual adventure the
other day while walking In the gar-

o'clock" in the morning. His majesty
was accosted by two men, who pre-
tended to be veterans of the cam-
paign of 1848. One of them asked for
the emperor's pencil, with which he
wrote an order for $250. The emperor
then signed It and sent a servant to
fetch the money.
The "veterans" grew nervous, how-
ever, and suddenly bolted out of th«.
gardens. The emperor, who was
greatly upset by the Incident, called an
aide de camp, who secured the arrest
of the two men shortly afterward.
They proved to be well known rogues,
aged, respectively, 32 and 47 years.
They wore false beards to enable them
to disguise themselves and to mak«-

Clean Up Business for
the Yeaf.'i
Assistant County Attorney
Renders Opinion on
Salary Question.
The board of county commissioners
began its last meeting of the year
shortly after 2 o'clock this afternoon.
I The board expects to clean up all the
business that has remained unfinished
'during the year, prelitninary to the
annual meeting next mcmth, when the
two new commissioners will take their
seats and the board will reorganize.
It was expected that tlie special com-
mittee appointed by the board to take
steps toward the purchase of the Mi-
chaud property on West Second street,
! as additional ground for the courthouse
jsite, would make a report this after-
noon. Mr. Michaud. it is understood,
has agreed to take the same amount
per front foot as was allowed by the
appraisers for adjoinin;? Inside prop-
erty on that street and that he is per-
fectly willing to make a transfer to
the county if an agreement can be
reached regarding the value to be
placed on a frame house at the rear
of the lots.
It was also expected that Assistant
County Attorney Crosby would ren-
]der an opinion on the rcounty offtcers'
I salary question, the gia: of which will
be that in the matter of salaries of
i the auditor, treasurer and probate
i judge the present state laws are rather
indefinite, and that some new legisla-
I tion is very much neecled this winter
'to straighten out the salary tangle.
!The auditor and treasurer are draw-
! ing the salaries in the same amount
I as before the revised code was adopted.
I The probate judge, who claims that his
salary has been raise<t by the last
I legislature, is still being paid on the
j old basis, although he receives the
' same under protest.
i It Is claimed that the salaries for St.
Louis county ofl^clals could have been
I fixed by the legislature when the new
[code was adopted, but those who
drafted the bill and presiented it to the
St. Louis county delegation were told
that the matter had be^n attended to,
so they dropped it.
Preliminary to the county board's
session, the county board of audit,
comprised of the auditor, clerk of the
district court, chairman of the county
board and the county attorney, held
its annual meeting to audit the treas-
urer's books and designate the banks
in which the county funds shall be de-
posited the coming year.
Nearly all the banks of the county,
outside of private banking institutions,
receive certain sums of the county's
money on deposit, to be paid out as it
is needed. The county requires surety
bonds of all such banks, the amount of
the bond to fully cover any amount
that may be placed on deposit.

Dr. A. AVallace of Philadelphia, the renowned throat and lane; upe-

case of long troable not too far advanced If the patient will assist by

BURGLARY
IN DAYLIGHT
Robber Strips New York
Dining Room of
Silverware.
Points a Revolver at a
Servant, Who Imme-
diately Faints.
New York, Dec. 28.— An armed burglar
■tripped the residence of Henry Clay iier-
Un of 31 West Fifty-first street ol ail the
■llverware kept in the dining room and
escaped after holding a revolver at the j him home
head of a maid, who collapsed on the
llC'or.
Mr.
Jones Envelope company, at Beekman
and \ViUiam etrttls, and m rattd a mil-
lionaire. His £on-in-law, Thomas F.
6haw, a wealthy wholesale dry goods
merchant at 7- L.touard street, lives with
him.
Mrs. Bhaw and her daughter, Elsie, a
noted hgure in society thfs season, lett
the house about « o'clock for a social
visit. Mrs. Berlin and htr little grandson,
a boy of 7 years, were in the house in a
room on the second floor.
Mrs. Aheurn, one of seven servants, six
of whom were on the basement tloor,
started upstairs at exacily 4 o clock, car-
rying a tray on which w<i.s a light lunch
for Mrs. Berlin and the boy.
As she stepped on to the main floor she
stood face to lace with a man in a big
overcoat, v.ho pcinted a revolver m her
face. She drtpped the tray, the china
making a crash.
"Come, girl, march with me!" he com-
manded.
He took the girl by one arm and
walked her into tne mum drawing room.
"Don't move," he said. "Don't make
•ny outcry. If you do I'll blow your
brains out:"
When he pressed the cold steel against
her forehead the girl dropped, uncon-
scious.
Then the burglar darted out of the
front door and disappeared.
It was some few minutes before the
servant girl revived. The little boy had
slipped downstairs and saw the broken
china and the overturned tray. He
screamed and Mary Ahearn, commg to,
became hysterical
to send out for a service. 1 can't im-
agine what would have happened had the
burglar gone up to mother's room. She
was alone with my little boy, and there
are silverware and Jewelry up there worth
many thousands of dollars.
"My husband came home and found the
door knob gone and the lock tampered
with about 11 o'clock Monday night. Al-
though we had the door repaired, we have
been uneasy since."
It is thought the burglar entered the
house when a delivery of some goods was
made at the basement door, and hid un-
til the family had left the main floor.
Mary Ahearn, pretty and 20 years of
age, gave the police a description of the
burglars.
"He was about 20 years old," she said,
"and about 5 feef S inchies in height. He
had dark hair, his face was smooth and
he wore a long coat." , , , ..w
There has been many l)urgiaries in the
precinct within the last Ave or six weeks.

HEIRESS CHOOSES TO
BE A BACHELOR MAID
New York, Dec. 28.— Miss Alice Lew-
isohn, daughter of the late Leonard
Lewisohn and heiress to $2,000,000, is
the latest of New York's rich young
women to Join the bachelor maid class.
Miss Lewisohn has rented the house
at No. 46 West Fifty-second street,
and It is understood she is to be make
it her home.
The young woman has shown an In-
dependence that is characteristic of
her family, and her present move to set
up an establishment of her own is no
surprise to those who are acquainted
with her.
It was Miss Lewisohn who became
1 part backer of the recent production of
Browning's "Pippa Passes" at the Ma-
jestic theater. This did not become
known at the time. Under the name
of Leonara Leigh she appeared in the
cast, playing the role of Phene. She
was recognized by many of her so-
ciety friends in front of the house, and
then the story became public.
Miss Lewisohn hastened to deny the
report that she had any intention of
following the stage. She explained that
she had appeared in amateur theatri-
cals several times and welcomed the
excittment, and the servants telephoning j opportunity offered by Mrs. Le Moyne
to the liolict of the East Fifty-flrst street ■ to play Phene, as she always had been

New York, Dec. 28.— The will of War-
ren C. Rose, contractor and veteran of
the Civil war, which was filed for pro-
bate in this city the other day, dis-
closed a family feud that began nine-
teen years ago with the marriage of his
only daughter, Esther C. Rose, and
outlasted even his death.
The will cuts off the daughter, leaves
$5 a week to the widow, and the bulk
of the estate, which is estimated at
$100,000, to Mrs. Arabella Victoria
Amelia Harvey Willard of 17 Van Dusen
street, Tompkinsville, S. I.
Mrs. Willard, who has been twice
married, is GO. She Is an old friend of
the Rose family, and the one reason
of Mr. Rose's act in making her the
beneficiary of his estate is that she sup-
ported him In his opposition to his
daughter's marriage. His wife stood
by tne daughter, who is now the happy
wife of George Forshaw.
In only one thing did this eccentric
man show a sign of relenting. He add-
ed a clause to his will in which he
permits his wife to be buried In his
family plot, "if she so desires."
The fortune, perhaps, is much greater
than $100,000, for Rose took no one Into
his confidence, and he was known as a
man of wealth even twenty years ago.
Only a few days ago his lawyer, Sum-
ner C. Parry of 13 William street, Is
said to have discovered trunks of Rose's
in a storage warehouse In this city
filled with stocks, bonds and other se-
curities.
Few men were better known within
the precincts of old Greenwich village
in the old days than Warren C. Rose.
The family lived in an old mansion in
West Eleventh street. It was just nine-
teen years ago tliat George Forshaw,
a poor young man, wooed Esther Rose.
Mr. Rose looked on the young man
as an impertinent upstart and forb.ade
his daughter to receive him. But she
loved Forshaw and told her father so.
Then the storm broke. The mother
took sides with the daughter, and when
For.shaw was forbidden to enter the
house Mrs Rose and her daughter
went to live with Mrs. Rose's sister,
Mrs. Robert Courtney, wife of the then
deputy comptroller of Brooklyn.
Mr. Rose closed the West Eleventh
street mansion, and took a furnished
room at Thirteenth sti^et and Seventh
avenue. There he lived up to the time
of his removal last September to Bello-
vu hospital, where he died on Oct. 31,
after an operation, without one of his
blood near him.
Young Forshaw, who Is the son of an
English naval officer, joined the Second
battery, New York artillery, and served
in it for seven years. Two years after
the break in 1889, Miss Rose was mar-
ried to him in a home of their own
providing, at No. 25 Ashland place.
They had saved their pennies, as she
declared last night, and furnished their
home.
Forshaw has built up a trucking busi-
ness so lucrative that he now, has a
luxurious home at No. 363 Lafayette ave-
nue, Brooklyn. The Forshaws have three
daughters, the eldest of whom Is now
attending the Girls' High school in Brook-
lyn. Mrs. Rose, white-haired, but con-
tented and happy and firm in her opinion
that .she did right in standing by her
daughter. Is also a member of this house-
hold.
Not once in all the years did old Mr.
Rose try to visit the Forshaws. There
is no evidence that he ever tried to see
hi'j wife, and It is known he never saw
one of his granddaughters. Once or twice
he wrote to his wife, but the letters are
said not to have been answered
easel, and *'it Cnlght he has attended
to his heavj clrrespondence. He looks
back over tlefcast and tells us history
that is full l)f%itei est.
"England is not Und to young paint-
ers," he says. In his wouthful days
the country aAs lull of foreigners.
"Think," h^ s<'(V's (hut with bitterness),
"of the mile* of rubbish that Dore
left "behiniij Am, when Millals was
painting some of his most beautiful
work, and MetBsonier was turning out
—well! (And he shrugged Jiis shoul-
ders). At ^ali) events, he could not
paint a woman.
"Think of the early days," he will
say with a^ smile, "when Millais and
I were chastised by the Times, and
Rossettl (I tatlfeht him to paint) gave
up exhibiting for two years. Millais,
with a wife and children to support,
was compelled to give away to the dic-
tates of men who buy."
None knew better than Holman Hunt |
how difficult it is to appeal to the
imagination of the great public. In
1854. when he exhibited "The Light of j
the World" at tho Royal academy,
many of the critics did not even notice
the work.
Ruskin wrote to the Times, saying
he spent a whole day in front of the
picture, and that scarcely anyone
stopped to look ait that wonderful
presentment of Christ. The few who
did, looked at it with a contemptuous
expression, and pointed out the absur-
dity of the Savior with a lantern In
His hand. Ruskir, then unfolded the
meaning of the picture, and "The
Light of the World" Immediately be-
came "the picture of the year."
The difficulty then was to move the
crowd forward that thronged to gaze
at that which had been interpreted for
them. Imagination Is one of the very
rarest gifts, and among nations It Is
rarest In the Anglo-Saxon race.
HE LIVED LIFE
OF DECADE AGO
Forgot Parents Were
Dead and Tliattle
Was Married.
St. Louis, Dec. 28.— A blow which
fractured the skui: set the memory of
Philip S. Bradley back ten years. All
that had happened in the last decade
was blotted from his consciousness. He
lived In the old sc<;nes, enjoyed the old
surroundings and :ook his former cus-
tomary route to the old home from
which he moved in 1896.
For twenty hours Bradley was the
Philip Bradley of ten years ago, and
he remained so until his wife broke the
strange spell at the City hospital.
Slowly memory leaped the gap that
separated it from the present and
when the threads were partially un-
tangled, Bradley said:
"I know that I live at No, 3040 Eas-
ton avenue and that I have been em-
played by a livery company at No.
2952 Easton avenue. Monday night I
received my week's pay, $14. I had a
few drinks with isome of the men at
the stable. I don't know why I did It,
but about 11 o'clock I put on my
hat and overcoat and left my job.
"I don't remember what happened
after that until about Tuesday morn-
ing, when I awoke in a lodging house
near Ninth street and Franklin ave-
nue. My head was bleeding, but I
don't remember having a fight or be-
ing hurt.
"I left the lodging house. Now, I
am 40 years old, but when I got on
the street I was 30. I was young and
active and was a solicitor for a down-
ton firm, the job I had had ten years
ago.
"My old habits all came back. Every
night on my way home I used to stop
at "Father" Kennedy's saloon, at
Twelfth and Chentnut streets. I lived
then at 1217 St. Ange avenue.
"I walked about the streets a while,
and then I went up to K^inedy's place,
now that It had changed
I remember
"FarhW'%ard%hrnss^''ire"ought not to some but I didn't notice that at the
have said." Mrs. Forshaw explained last i time,
night. "He told me that he would cut
me off without a penny if I married
The terrified servants and Mrs. Berlin
responded, and Mary told about the bur-
glar. Two of the men servants ran into
the street to see if the burglar was in
sight.
Boys in the street close by, answering
the servants' questions, said they had
seen a man run out of Mr. Berlin's house
with some silver in his hands and his
pockets bulging, toward Fifth avenue.
There were many persons passing and
Fifth avenue had its usual afternoon
crowd.
Mrs. Shaw and M.ss Elsie returned
home to hnd the house in a tumult of

George. He said George never could take
care of me. Mrs. Willard, who was Mrs.
Harvey, agreed with him.
"Mrs. Willard had been a friend of our
family as long as I can remember. My
father had the highest regard for her
opinion. It was her stand in regard to the
marriage, I suppose, that actuated father
in the will. I could contest that will, bOT
I do not know that I shall."
Rose in his will gave these directions
for his Interment:
"I desire to be burled with the utmost
simplicity, without sermon or remarks,
beside the remains of my son in my plot
in Woodlawn cemetery, and I hereby di-
rect that a monument of Quincy granite,
similar in design to the annexed sketch,
be erected in the center of said plot, and
that four corner stones with the initial
'R ' carved on the top of each, be placed
on each corner of said plot, and that tho
name of my son, Martin W. Rose, his
age and the date of his decease, to-
gether with my own name, age, and date
of decease in similar style, be carved
upon the central stone. The cost of said
mounment, together with the corner
stone, shall not exceed the sum of $v500.
"It is my desire that my daughter,
Esther C, shall have no portion of my
estate," the will says. Mr. Rose leaves
to his widow a photograph of their deart
son.
FAMOUS ARTIST
IS GOING BLIND
England's Great Painter
Will Never Again Stand
at Easel.
London, Dec. 28.— Nothing is more
pathetic than the darkness into which
men are shut by the loss of sight, but
there is something tragic in the fact
when the eyes that are dimmed have
been the instruments to give the world
imperishable beauty.
There is an old man in London today
who has seen visions and dreamed
dreams, but the twilight is gathering
round the soul of the great artist, and
he will paint no more. He can read
dimly, if he holds a big glass to his
eyes; he can trace the outline of
familiar faces, but others lie around
him in th« shadow, and the hand that
could give the world the thoughts of
angels will never paint again. The
tired eyes of Holman Hunt see no
more-, and the gentle old man bows his
head and says it is the will of God.
Some time ago, he says, he received
the news that his sight was failing
him; he underwent an operation, but
to no purpose — the optic nerve is
atrophied. "I may be old fashioned,"
he says, as he folds his hands patiently,
"but I have thought for many years
that, although we may not understand,
the great Master fashions our lives as
seems to Him best."
Painting has been, he tells u.s, the joy
of his life, his greatest pleasure, his
most welcome recreation. There Is
no doubt the mischief arises from over-
work. All day he stood at his
"As I had dore ten years ago, I
took a Tower Grove car for my St.
Ange home. I was single. My father
and mother and three sisters were
waiting at home for me. I left the
car at the old phtce. Thirteenth street
and Park avenue, and walked up to the
house. It was vacant and there were
"For Rent" signs on the window.
"Even then I did not remember my
father and mother and brother and
sisters had all died and that I had
been married. I was living ten years in
the past. It struck me that we had
moved from St. Ange avenue to No.
816 South Seventh street. It seemed to
me foolish that 1 had not thought of
this sooner.
"I took a Choteau avenue car and
went down to the Seventh street house.
Everything was changed. While I was
trying to figure it out a policeman
came up. He saw that I was hurt and
he brought me here.
"All night I was thinking about how
my father and mothers and brothers
and sisters woulc' miss me at the old
home. I never thought of my wife un-
til she came here. Then it all came
back to me."
Kennedv. to whose saloon Bradley
thought he went, has been dead three
years and the place is in other hands.
How the man received his injuries
is a mystery wliich the police have
not solved. He was not robbed. When
he left the stalle, he says, he had
$15.50, and when he was searched at
the hospital $14 was found in his
pocket. There was a long gash on the
top of his head. His face is lacerated
and there are marks of many kicks on
his body.

Rocks, Hot and Sulphur-

Bering Sea.
Washington, Dec. 28.— It will be news
to many that the United States possesses
a real, live volcano, which Is still in
the prime of its activity, performing
marvels that put Vesuvius co-mpletely
In the shade. Still more surprising may
be the Information that this volcano Is
buried under the sea.
During the catastrophe at San Fran-
cisco last spring, this volcano, far up
north In the Bering sea, was busy with
the creation of a new island
saw the birth of this Islet
pened very quietly 40
nearest Inhabited land.
The new Island was first seen on Mav
28 last, a steaming, smoking mass of rock
and lava, more than a mile in circum-
ference, which rose to a height of 300
feet. Apparently it had no central cra-
ter, but steam clouds rose from numer-
ous small rifts and apertures about
which the rocks were yellow with sul-
phur deposits.
This was the second island presented to
Uncle Sam within the last 25 years by
the Aleutian volcano, and an elder mem-
ber of the Bogoslof group, which was
bom under Russian rule, has just cele-
brated its 110th birthday anniversary
this year. Before this island appeared a
solitary rock marked the site of the
volcano.
Capt. Cook, when in the Bering sea
on his voyage in quest of the Northwest
passage, descried a sail one day on
these lonely waters. To his astonish-
ment, as he drew nearer, the sail proved
to be a bold rock which rose defiantly
from the midst of the sea. Soundings
around the rock showed that it was the
peak of a lofty submarlnt? mountain. The
peak so resembled a sail that It was
forthwith christened Sali or Ship rock.
This was the first member of the Bogos-
lof family of which we have any record.
Recently it succumbed to the ravages of
thp weather and crumbled away.
On the seventh of May, 1796. one Krl-
ukof, agent of the old Jlussiaji^ American
company, " - - - -^ —
the northern coast of the Island of Um-
nak. The sea was obscured by the thick
weather, but on the following morning
as the storm cleared a column of smoke
was seen rising from the water near the
horizon.
Toward evening a black mass appeared
beneath the smoke. As night set in the
smoke changed to fire, which at times
flared so brightly as to light up the
entire island of Umnak. The terrified
spectators were already beside them-
selves with fear when the very earth
beneath them swayed in a violent earth-
quake and a thunderous roax echoed
and re-echoed among the cliffs
them
above
the Quaker City Flour Mills company,
In this city, was damaged by fire
today to thfe extent of about $80,000.

For ten years the young Bogoslof contin-

name of Fire Island.
While the blrih of Fire Island was not
attended with the violent effects which
marked the rise of Castle Island, yet
there was one circumstance, at the time
unnoticed, which. In view of recent
events, is now giving geologists much
thought. About the time of the upheaval
there was a severe earthquake in the sea
off Calicornia.
No one thought of connecting these two
incidents occurring as they did more
than 2,006 miles apart; but the repetition
of these coincident events last spring is,
at least, remarkable, if It does not
point to some Intimate relation between
the Bogoslof volcano and the California
fault.

WOMAN'S FRIENDS TAR AND
FEATHER HER TRADUCER.
Johannesburg, Dec. 23. — A young
electrician, living on the Rand, was
recently waylaid, dragged to a quiet
spot, tarred and feathered by the
friends of a lady of whom it was al-
leged he had spoken slightingly. His
own friends were highly indignant, and
called for an explanation from one of
his assailants, a man named Suther-
land. The latter's reply was to draw
a revobit*r and fire at his questioners,
two of whom he slightly wounded. He
has now betm committed to trial on
the charge of the shooting.
The entire affair is now before the
courts, but the evidence as to the
tarring and the feathering has not yet
been taken. It is believed that it will
be of a very sensational nature, but it
is doubtful whether it will be made
public. In fact, strenuous efforts are
being made on all sides to hush up the
entire affair.

SON OF ALAMO
HERO IS DEAD
Father Last Messenger
to Leave Building
After Seizure.
Fort Worth, Tex., Dec. 28.— There
died at Pleasonton. Tex., a few days
ago, a man by the plain name of John
Smith, and thi^se who read the simple
announcement of his passing, doubt-
less paid no more attention to It than
merely to remark that another mem-
ber of the great Smith family had
been called to his reward. And yet
the death of this John Smith recalls
one of the most brilliant pages In the
history of Texa»— Uie fall of the Alamo.
John M. Smith's father— John W.
Smith was the last messenger that left
the Alamo after it was beselged by
the Mexicans. There are wrongful ac-
counts In history to the effect that
Smith #nd his command returned and
gained entrance into the Alamo before
the fall occurred, but such was not
really the case. The real facts are that
Smith and the thirty men he had been
able to gather as re-enforcements
reached the Salade, six miles east of
San Antonio, the day following the
fall of the Alamo and bloody massa-
cre of Its gallant defenders. It had
been arranged with the doomed pa- '
trlots that this succor should wait
there for a signal gun. which was
never fired, owing to the fact that the \
hand that was to fire it was cold in
death. Ascertaining that all the de-
fenders of the Alamo were dead. Smith
and his little command Joined the other ;
Texas forces In the field. I
The wife of John W. Smith was a
Spanish woman, and he felt no appre-
hension for her safety after Sar> An-
tonio was in the hands of the victori-
ous Mexicans, but he was fearful of |
the fate of his son John M.. on account I
of his American blood. Notwlthstand-
Ing the peril of the undertaking, he
entered San Antonio after the fall of
the Alamo and securing the boy. car- i
ried him to Goliad, and his life was 1
preserved. j
John M. Smith was bom in the city
of San Antonio in May. 1833. and was
a printer by trade, helping to establish •
the Western Texan, the first English
newspaper published in the city. He ,
served through the war as a member
of Terry's rangers, and returning to
San Antonio after the close of hostili- I
ties, aided in establishing the Ledger,!
the first newspaper published there
after the war. Later he was elected
treasurer of the city of San Antonio, j
but was ousted by E. J. Da\i3, Re- I
publican governor, who served during •
the "reconstruction." '
Jonh M. Smith was the possessor of a
wonderful memory, and fond of relat-
ing many of the stirring incidents that
followed the fall of Alamo. He re-
membered distinctly his father's visits
to his mother, when It was necessary,
on account of the vigilance of the
Mexican s<jldier3. to come in at night
and hide his horse in the kitchen. In
order that his presence in the city
might not be known. His father was
playing with the children on one of
tiheae visits and, upon looking up.
discovered the faces of Mexican sol-
diers pressed against the window
pane.s. He hurriedly put one of the
children out of his arms, rushed into
the kitchen, mounted his steed and
was soon flying to safety, making good
his escape. John W. Smith was the
first mayor ever elected to office in the
city of San Antonio.
The story of the Alamo has been
written so often and so well that It
Is familiar to the people of all civilized
nations, and the deeds of its valiant
defenders will ever serve to Inspire
men to defeds of valor. John W. Smith
left the Alamo building on his famous
rescue mission by tunneling under the
walls to the old water ditch. The re-
mains of his handiwork are still in
existence and pointed out with pride
by the citizens of San Antonio.
BAILIFF WAS
STRICKEN DOWN
Dramatic Death Follows
Child's Threat of Di-
vine Vengeance.
Warsaw, Dec. 28.— In a small country
town not far from Warsaw a death
has just occurred under dramatic and
sensational circumstances which has
made a profound Impression on the
peasantry throughout Che country.
They are convinced that It was the re-
sult of a miracle, and that a young
grirl was the agent through whom di-
vine vengeance was wrought.
It appears that the local squire, like
many of his kind, fell upon evil days
and was obliged to borrow a sum of
money on mortgage. But owing to
agrarian riots,' strikes, cattle disease,
bad crops and a host of minor mis-
fortunes, he was unable to pay even
the interest on the money for some
time. The mortgagee, a woman, by
the way, determined to evict her debtor
from his estate, and charged a bailiff
to perform that unpleasant duty.
When the bailiff arrived at the man-
or. he was met by the syuire, wTio
beseeched him. with tears In his eyes,
to give a few days' grace, as his 10-
year-old daughter was just recovering
from a bad attack of scarlet fever,
and it would mean death If she was
turned out Into the fields In the raw
fall weather. But the bailiff refused,
saying that he was acting under his
client's orders, who had told him not
to delay a single day, no matter what
excuses were made.
"But this is not an excuse," pro-
tested the distracted father. "If my
prayers can not move you, perhaps
the sight of my .suffering child will."
Still protesting that he could do
nothing to postpone the eviction, the
bailiff followed the squire into the
sickroom. When the child saw him
and learned why he had come, she
raised her pale, thin face from the
pillow, and looking at him with wild
eyes, said In a trembling voice:
"You have ruined my father and
mother, and now you're going to turn
me out of my home to die! God will
mostly surely punish you for such
wickedness!"
No sooner had she uttered these
words that the bailiff turned pale,
staggered and fell fa4se forward on
the ground. When picked up he was
found to be dead.
The Incident has created the great-
est sensation, not only In the district,
but throughout the country. The peas-
ants and the workingmen solemnly ex-
plain it by the words, "To cud" ("It's
a miracle"). It is wltlh the greatest
difficulty that the frightened farm ser-
vants could be persuaded to carry the
dead bailiff out of the room. At first
none of them would touch the body,
declaring that the man had died under
God's curse. They look upon the
squire's child, however, with peculiar
veneration, as one by whom God has
chosen to work a miracle.

OUR Intestines are lined Inside
with millions of suckers, that
draw the Nutrition from food as
it passes them. But, if the food
passes too slowly, it decays before it gets |
through. Then the little suckers draw Poison
from it instead of Nutrition. This Poison
makes a Gas that injures your system more

The usual remedy for this delayed pass- '

Another remedy is to take a strong

Child labor In the coal fields was a fea-

"We have in Pennsylvania a mining

"The^perators took a prominent part
in aiding the passaije of that law and
have not in any Wi|y connived at Its
being broken. From my knowledge
of the people of our mUiing community
I am positive that t:hi& have not per-
mitted their sons who are under legal
age to work in minws to any such ex-
tent as has been ptated, or to any
appreciable extent.
"The cupidity of "'.he parents and of
the operators has been grossly exag-
gerated. We have in Pennsylvania

by truan oflicet- li every district,

abuses of child labor, of which the
Child Labor committee complains.
"Mr. Lovejoy, secretary of the Na-

that 12,800 boys under 14 years of age
were at work In the tntnes and break-

that only 8,124 Jboys between 14 and
16 years old are at work in and about
the breakers. Of these, the report says,
all but 760 are over the employment
age. The ages of 760 were In doubt,
and the uncertainly regarding their

TEXAS ROAD OWNED BY
MEXICAN GOVERNMENT.
Austin, Tex,, Dec. 28.— It Is something
unusual for a government to own a
railroad In a foreign country. Accord-
ing to the official ar.nouncement of the
recent railroad transaction of the Mex-
ican government, the Texas-Mexican
railroad, which ruas from Laredo,
Tex., to Corpus Cl.ristl. Tex., a dis-
tance of 160 miles, becomes a part of
the "government merger system" of
that country. It has» been operated as
a part of the National railroad sys-
tem of Mexico ever since its construc-
tion many years ago. It Is stated, how-
ever, that at the time the Mexican
government acquired a controlling In-
terest in the Mexico properties of the
National Railroad company, the Texas-
Mexican line was not embraced In the
deal. It was retalnijd by the original
owners of the National. It has now
gone Into the government system on
the same basis as the other lines, which
are situated in Mexico. Whether this
acqulrment of a controlling interest in
the Texas-Mexican railroad by the
Mexican government is only a tempor-
ary expedient or is to be a permanent
Investment is not known here. A
short time ago the public announce-
ment was made by a high official of
the National railroad that the Interests
behind the property are very desirous
of building up a deep-water port at
Corpus Christi. the gulf terminus of
the Texas-Mexican.
CAPITOL DOOR STAND

Washington, Dec. 28.— Jack Snarley,
the big policeman, who, every day for
the past nine months, has stood at
the right of the main entrance to the
White House, has been moved. The
handsome fellow ha.3 been retained on
the White House squad, but now
stands at no one post Inside the
grounds for more than an hour. It is
a simple case of "nerves."
Nearly every man on the force has

Ho had to work but ten hours and was
not obliged to move ten feet from the
right of the entrance to the White
House. He had all of his evenings to
himself, and saw rtiore prominent
folks in a month than any other man
in Washington, excepting only the
president of the United States, in ten
times the period. At first it was keen-
ly enjoyable. Then It began to worry
Snarley.
If he could have gone half way
down to the fountiiln In the middle
of the president's front yard, it would
have been all right, but the change of
scene or lengthening of his beat was
forbidden him. One of the handsomest,
tallest, most muscular men on the
force, he had nothing p3 do but pose
as the guardian at '.he front door. He
could not even open -carriage doors or
swing the doors of the White House
for visitors. There were ushers and
footmen for that djty. He stood the
monotony of it as long as possible and
then asked that he either be trans-
ferred or his resignation accepted. He
was transferred and aaojther big police-
man has been assigrred" *to the place.
Inquiry develops th» fact that nearly
every man of fine physique on the force
has had the asssigninent, .Snarley has
stood it longer than any of his prede-
cessors. Six months is usually the limit
in the summer seasoii and half the
time In the winter.

King Edward Consults
Lord Esher Regarding
His Duties.
Staff of Royal Servants
at Buckingham Palace
Reduced.
London, Dec. 28. King Edward never
does anything in connection with the
royal ijalaces or any semi-political mat-
ters without first consulting Lord Esher,
who, it is said (facetiously), "runs Eng-
land."
The literary attainments of Lord Esh-
er's family are distinctive. Lord Esher
himself Is well known as an historical
esaylst. His book on Queen Victoria's
prime ministers Is to be reckoned
among the best writings dealing with
nineteenth century politics. Latterly,
however, much of Lord Esher's masterful
English has appeared between the blue
covers of government reports, notably
that on th South African war and the war
department committee.
Lady Esher has published a musical
birthday book as well as a book of poems,
many of the latter deserving and receiv-
ing more than the cut-and-dried notices
of the classic critics. The West Gazette
publishes frequently work from Lady
Eshers' pen— a pen that writes of the
poetical and beautiful side of life.
The eldest son, Oliver Brett, is the
author of a volume of blank verse, "The
Reckoning," while Maurice Brett has
compiled a little brochure on "The Max-
ims of War," which, while having a mili-
tary atmosphere, contains much philoso-
phy applicable to daily life. The writings
of Lord Esher's daughters, although not
yet having attained the dignity of volume
form, have appeared in several magazines,
and it is not too much to say that there is
every possibility of the talents of the
gifted parents being reproduced In their
children.
Lady Esher Is anxious to set on foot
a movement to revolutionize the British
ballroom. She thinks a girl ought to be
taken as Introduced to all who visit balls
in high society by the niere fact of their
being fellow-guests. This would lead to
gi'catest ease between eligible young men
and highborn girls.
Gen. Sir John French, the Idol of South
African hero-worshipers, has just had an
amusing experience. When he was in
France for the autumn maneuvering he
was promised the Grand Cordon of the
Legion of Honor.
A few days ago the resplendent insignia
arrived at tlxe French embassy in Lon-
don. The military attaclie at the em-
bassy was given the task of formally con-
ferring it upon the great British cavalry
leader. He was In a hurry to discharge
his ceremonial function.
He prepared a great speech. He got
his rolling phrases by heart. All was
ready. He drove to the war office. Gen.
French was not there. He ought to have
waited until Gen. French could receive It
at the headquarters of his corps at Alder-
shot. But the attache's desire to de-
liver the Grand Cordon overpowered his
patience.
He found that Sir John was at his flat
In the West end of London. He jumped
Into a cab with the Grand Cordon in a
f)arcel, rang the bell, was ushered Into a
Ittlo room and there met Gen. French.
Here he bowed low, bestowed the Grand
Cordon with much ceremony— to the cav-
alry leader's great amusement— and de-
livered a long and high-flown oration to
Gen. French, a small table and a couple
of chairs.
Further reductions are to be made in
the staff of royal servants at Bucking-
ham Palace and Windsor, the plea being
economy. Lord Althorp, the Lord Cham-
berlain, is understood to have carefully
gone through the salary list with sev-
eral subordinate officials of the house-
hold, and to have marked a number of
old servants for dismissal.
The rigid economy exercised In the
royal household in recent years has been
even more marked since the recent
changes In the personnel of the kind's
suite. Even the kitchewi appropriation
has been further reduced to the great
dissatisfaction of the royal chefs, who
are expected to make a creditable show-
ing from their reduced allowances as
heretofore.
In the language of & member of the
court, who is familiar with the present
cheeseparing policy, "the establishment
of an ordinary peer — even those of limit-
ed means— Is run on more generous
lines."
Several of the servants who are to be
dropped from the salary list at the end
of the year will be given email pensions,
but some of those at Windsor are unpi-o-
vlded for and there Is talk of appealing
to the king for compensation in some
form.
The kitchens of the Brltl.sh aristocracy
are perturbed. Their incomes are being
reduced. The butlers and cooks of many
a British household have long robbed
their masters and mistresses during a
lifetime of "long and honorable service"
by forcing the tradesmen to give them
what is politely called "discount" or
"commission."
The practice discovered by Mr. White-
law Reid. soon after he took up resi-
dence at Dorchester House. Park Lane,
i was as follows: The wine merchant,
the butcher, the provision merchant, the
coal company, the tailoring Arm supply-
ing the liveries for coachmen, footmen
and others, the poulterer and even the
baker would be forced to give the cook
or butler a "commission." an occasional
5-pound note or a few shillings on every
sovereign spent.
Thus many a West end butcher gives
the cook an occasional sovereign and
gets It back by adding several sover-
eign's worth of meat to the bill. As
sure as he stops paying "commission"
i the cook complains that his meat la
stringy or tough, or too fat. or what not,
and he loses the wealthy customer.
Whltelaw Reid found that the Lon-

BROUGHT BACK LIFE
FOR TWENTY HOURS.
London, Dec. 28.— Dr. Green, surgeon of
the British hospital for children, describes
in the Lancet a remarkable case of res-
toration of the heart action by means of
massage, after apparent death. The pa-
tient, a boy of 9, suffered from a com-
plaint which necessitated an operation.
Chloroform was administered and the
operation commenced. There was diffi-
cult breathing, and finally the respira-
tions ceased and no heart sounds were
audible. Hot towels were applied and
injections of strychnine used, but with-
out success. Finally, twenty-five min-
utes after the heart had stopped. Dr.
Green decided to apply direct compres-
sion to the organ. An opening was made
suffici€>nt to admit the right hand. The
heart was found to be quite immobile and
flacid. The doctor began rhythmical
1 compression with the right hand, press-
ing the hearts lower surface, and the
I left hand outside. The rate of compres-
sion was about seventy a minute. For
two minutes this was done, without ap-
preciable effect. Then the doctor grasped
the apex of the heart In his right hand
and continued intermittent compressions.
Soon a slight fluttering of the heart was
noticed, the pupils of the eyes contract-
ed, and within a few seconds the heart
began to beat forcibly with more than
normal vigor.
Meanwhile artiflolal respiration had
been continued all the time, and within a
short period after the restoration of the
pulse spontaneous breathing asserted it-
self gradually becoming regular. In ten
minutes the heart and lungs performed
their functions in a normal manner,
though the patient had not recovered
consciousness, and sensibility never re-
turned. The patient developed spasms
early the next morning and began sink-
ing. He died twenty hours after the
heart beats and respiration had been re-
established.
FUGITIVES FOUND
Men Who Escaped From Reformatory to
Be Brought BacK.
Helena, Mont., Dec. 28.— State Agent
J. Z. Bamcard and Officer Whitley of
Minnesota have presented requisitions
I to Governor Toole for Frank Donahue
i and Herbert Baldwin, and they have
' been honored. The men were convicted
' of grand larceny in the second degree,
I the former in Hennepin and the latter
I in Clay county, and both were given
i Indeterminate sentences in tho Mlnne-
Jaota reformatory, from which they es-
caped In 1905. They came to Mon-
tana and changed their names, and in
{November, 1905, were convicted of in-
jury to a public Jail. Their time ex-
pires tomorrow, when they will be met
by the Minnesota officers and returned
to that state.
The open meeting held at the Com-
mercial club last evening for the pur-
pose of considering proposed harbor
improvement plans, and giving Con-
gressman J. Adam Bede an idea of
what Duluth wants in this respect, fail-
ed to unite on a pla:i, although every
one agreed that some further protec-
tion for shipping aud harbor interests
is necessary.
Chairman Hugo was authorized to ap-
point a committee of five to investigate
each of the several different improve-
ment ideas, with a view to determining
which is the most leasible and most
satisfactory to all concerned, and then
make a report to the public affairs com-
mittee at another open meeting which
will be called as scon as these men
are ready to report, which will be
within a few days. At this second
meeting more defini:e action will be
taken, and some recommendation will
be made to congress regarding the mat-
ter, Mr. Hugo named George Spencer,
L C. Harris, lexander McDougall, A.
B Wolvin and J. A. Ferguson.
Congressman Bede and others who i
profess to be poste<l on affairs at |
Washington have" positive angjurance
that if the harbor- and shipping inter-
ests of Duluth and Superior could agree
on some plan of Improvement that ap-
pears reasonable on its face, the nece_s-
sary provision for carrying out the
plan will be made. by congress at once.
If, on the other hand, there is a dis-
agreement among the vessel and har-
bor interests at tire rime the matter is
taken up by congress, Mr. Bede said
there might be confiiderable delay m
getting the needs of Duluth supplied
in this respect.
Most of the speakers appeared to
strongly favor a breakwater for the
Duluth canal, saying they could not see
why a breakwater a" this canal would
not be just as feasible as one at the
Superior entry, which the board of
United States engineers that visited
Duluth in the interests of the harbor
last summer recommended be built.
Capt. Wolvin explained that the object
was to use the protected Superior entry
during time of storm only, making
the Superior end of the bay a harbor
of refuge when northeasters are rag-
ing, and leaving the Duluth canal a
purely business Institution. He said it
would be necessiiry for storm-chased
vessels to use the biwer canal only a
few days in the year.
Capt. Wolvin brought up the central
canal Idea again, and explained that
present idea is for the construc-
tion of a breakwater inside the canal,
in the harbor, to protect the remainder
of the harbor from the force of the
waves. It appears that this is the first
Duluth had heard oi' the inside break-
water scheme, and wh*n Capt. Wolvin
admitted that such e. project had never
before been trie^lranywhere, to the best
of his knowledge, ac.d that it would be
an experiment, Capt. Alexander Mc-
Dougall expreseed serioue doubt as to
the feasibility of the scheme, and said
that In such a serious matter It would
not pay to experiment.
Last night's affairs was probably the
most largely attended public affairs
committee meeting held this year,
showing that Duluth is alive to the im-
portance of the suttject under discus-
sion. Chairman Hugo opened the meet-
ing by briefly telling of the report made
to congress by the board of govern-
ment engineers on proposed improve-
ments for the local harbor. The re-
port is rather against the idea of a
breakwater for the Duluth canal, but
favors the construct on of abreakwater
central
committee which represented Duluth at
the hearing granted by the government 1
engineers in Detroit on the same propo- |
sition, was called upon to make a report '
of what traspired there. L. C. Harris, ,
brother member of Capt. McDougall on i
■the committee, was also present. Capt.
McDougall said that the idea of the en-
gineers at the meeting seemed to be for ,
a better storm entrance at the Superior j
canal, with a canal safer for both vessel <
and harbor interests at Duluth later on. |
The vessel interests of the Great Lakes 1
were represented at Detroit by six of tiie ;
leaders, including H. Coulby and officers
of the Lake Carriers' association. The |
sentiment, influenced strongly by Mr. i
Coulby, Capt. McDougall thought, wa^i i
largely to the effect that a breakwater at j
the Duluth canal would be a serious ob-
struction, as is claimed to have been J
the case with the breakwaters at Lake ]
Erie ports.
Capt. McDougall explained to the De- ;
troit meeting tliat the proposed break-
water at Duluth was an entirely differ- j
ent proposition from the others along
the lake, and that it would be a protec-
tion rather than a menace, but the big \
vcsselmen could not see It that way, and
did all they could to influence the board
of engineers against the proposition.
These men said it would be as easy to
find a harbor entrance six miles from
the point as nearer the north shore, al-
though numerous navigators have told
Capt. McDougall that the north shore is
of great assistance in locating the entry.
He said that practically all the vessel
men at the Detroit meeting had never
seen a northeast storm at Duluth, and
were unacquainted witn facts as they
actually exist, and therefore are not in
a position to express themselves intelli-
gently on the subject. -
"Some day we will get a breakwater
here, even if they keep opposing it a
while longer," the captain concluded.
Congressman Bede .lext explained,
briefly, the main points of the engineers'
report, which recommends a breakwater
of the arrow head type at the Superior
entry. He told of the different break-
water plans that have been suggested
for the Duluth entry, one providing for
a 6,300 foot wall running out into the
lake from Fourteenth avenue east: art-
other for an arrow head breakwater,
with a wall running from both the point
and the mainland, until the outer ends
come within 600 feet of meeting in the
Capt. McDougall said the estimated
cost of the breakwater for Duluth as
given in the report was larger than he
thought necessary, and that the break-
water described was longer by 1,300 feet
than he deemed necessary, or had been
suggested, but said that, notwithstanding
the high estimate, even if it were as
high as $5,000,000, it would not be enough
to scare away the appropriation, in view
of the importance of the Duluth harbor.
Chairman Hugo here expressed views,
agreeing entirely with those of all the
other speakers during the evening, that
both the harbor and shipping interests
should be given equal consideration in
the improvement plans, for one is as im-
portant as the other. He said Duluth
does not want to do anything that will m
the least inlure the shipping interests,
but at the same time she must see hat
whatever improvement is made is of the
sort that will protect tbe harbor inter-
ests He said that while more than a
year had elapsed since last fall, the ele-
vator companies had not yet completed
their work of repair on property dam-
aged by the waves during the storm.
L C Harris explained that the im-
provement could only be brought about
through definite action on the part of
•congress, and that the rivers and harbors
committee practically controls this ac-
tion He wanted to know what the atti-
tude of members of this committee is,
so that Duluth might act the more intel-
ligently in trying to get the needed im-
provements, and the more easily over-
come the objections of members to the
plans affecting Duluth, provided they
Congressman Bede stated that Uiere
li.id been but one meeting of the rivers
and harbors committee since the report
was made, and that so much other busi-
ness came up for consideration at that
time that the Duluth proposition was
little discussed. He had talked with
Congressman Theodore Burton of .Cleve-
land, however, and fourfU him opposed
to a breakwater for th« Duluth canal.
Burton is chairman of the committee
and Mr. Bede said, exerts a wonderful
influence on congress when .it come s ^ to

CUTICURA REMEDIES
m
•*I vrish to infoi-m you that your
wonderful Cuticura has put a stop to
twelve years of misery I pase-d with
my son. As an in-
fant I noticed on
his body a red epot
and treated some
witli differentrem-
ediesfor about five
years, but when
the spot began to
get larger I put
\ him under the care
of doctors. Under
thefa- treatment th(; disease spread to
four different parti; of his body. The
longer tJtie doctors ti-catcd him the worse
it grew. During the day it would get
rough and form like scales. At night it
would be cracked, inflamed, and badly
swollen, with terrille burning and itch-
ing. When I think of his siiflTering, it
nearly breaks my lieart. His screams
could be heard do^vn stairs. The suf-
fering of my son me de me full of misery.
I had no ambition to work, to eat, nor
could I sleep.
" One doctor told me that my son's
eczema was incurable and gave it up
for a bad job. One eviening I saw an
article in the paper about the wonderful
Cuticura and decided to give it a trial.
" I tcU you that Cuticura Ointment
is worth its weight in gold; and when I
had used tlie first box of Ointment there
was a great improvement, and by the
time I had used the second set of Cuti-
cura Soap, Ointmert, and Resolvent my
child was cured. He is now twelve
years old, and his ekin is as fine and
emooth as silk, (signed) Michael St*m-

Tht' board, he said, has confessed the fad
that a breakwater is necessary. He could
not see anything the arguments of the
vesselmen standing out against a break-
water at Duluth except that the men so
arguing do not want any kind of a break-
water at all. He explained that Duluth
was not committed to any pai-tlcular kind
of a breakwater, but would take anything
that would answer the purposePwhether
it extended out from Fourteenth avenue
east or was of the arrow head variety.
He characterized the central canal as be-
j ing impossibly absurd, saying that a
1 000-foot opening in the center of the
Point would sweep Rice's and Connor s
Points out of existence, and make
! entire harbor this side of West

Wisconsin Superintendent
Finds Very Much to
Criticise.
Milwaukee. Dec. 28.— State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction Charles
P. Gary, in an address before the Wis-
consin Teachers" association conven-
tion today, lamented the lack of pro-
gress during the past half a century
in country schools; declared that the
teachers were untrained, buildings di-
lapidated, and county superintendents
afraid to do their duty; arraigned the
normals for imitating the colleges;
condemned snobbish university pro-
fessors; suggested that universities
were mediaeval in their ideas of a
proper course of study; and condemned
the ambition of faculties to build up
extensive postgraduate schools.
Bishop Auguslin F. Schlnner of .Su-
perior spoke on "Function of Sectarian
Schools and Colleges," defending the
parochial schools and colleges. Among
other things he said that the practices
of the church, the decrees of her coun-
cils, the writings of the pope's Incul-
cated this principle that education
must be based upon religion.

Attorney General Young
Seeks Temporary In-
junction in Suit
St. Paul, Dec. 28.— (Special to The
Herald.)— Judge Orr of the district
court, at the instance of Attorney
I General Young, has signed an order
I directing the Great Northern Railway
company to show cause why a tem-
iporary injunction should not be
[granted pending the final adjudication
of the proceeding to restrain the pro-
I posed Issue of $60,000,000 of Great
I Northern stock Jan. 4. The order is
I returnable and will be argued Jan. 3.
The case can hardly be tried on its
merits before February.
NEGRO CONVICTS ESCAPE
ON A MISSOURI TRAIN.
St. Louis, Dec. 28.— Three negro
convicts, employed at the prison
power house, just outside the peniten-
tiary walls at Jefferson City, escaped
last night and rode to within sixty
miloa of St. Louis this morning on
the "blind" baggage end of a Mis-
souri Pacific pa.ssenger train. The
passengers were panic stricken when
It became kjiown that three convicts,
in prison garb, were on the train.
The negrroes were driven from the
train at each station by Conductor
Wheeler and the train crew but. as
soon as the train started, they would
climb aboard again.
New York, Dec 28.— "As a re-
sult of the vast concentration of
wealth," said Henry Laurens. Call of
Washington in a vigorous address
before the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, yester-
day, "industrial society is practically
divided into the two classes — the
enormously rich and the miserably
j poor. The conditions come from a
I monopoly of land and mineral re-
sources, of money, of transportation
land other public utilities as also ot
I indu-stry, and to la\s must we look
for their correction. The corporation
should be made co-operative, instead
I of aa now, the instrjument of private
! greed. The ownership of public util-
iities should be in th*; public, as also
the control and distribution of money.
The corporation principle and func-
tion should be exttpded to mines,
as also to lands in cities and else-
where required for .Joint use and
occupancy. i [
"Moreover, in th*i » taking charge
of these properties Ijfy. condemnation
proceedings some restitution should
be made to the public of tliese enor-
mous and iniquitous, accumulations
of which It has been 'cfespoiled. In
this complex situation manifestly the
most just, as well as the most feasi-
ble solution would be to fix some
maximum limit, as the amount
which any man can b« said to have
acquired honestlj', or which he could
liave r-cquired under just condi-
tions, all above such reverting to the
public from the holiJing in the cor-
poration. It would conform our in-
.stitutions to the present social co-
operative nature of industrial society
and inaugurate in the most practical
manner the one solution of our pres-
ent social and indu.jtrial problems."
Mr. Call attacked the right of
John D. Rockefeller :o his fortune on
tlie ground that it wis not the result
of natural causes, but had been
created through the activity of cor-
porations, which the speaker termed
"vicious."
During a subsequent discussion of
thfl "Evolution of Property," Louis G.
McPherson, assistant to the late
Samuel Spencer, pi-esident of the
Southern railway, dei^lared that Mr.
Rockefeller had had his financial
struggles and had cone much good,
which was generally lost sight of in
the criticism which cjime with success.
He told of Mr. Rocki^feller's early at-
tempt to secure $25,0')0 with which to
construct a pipe line for oil. One man
who refused aid met the financier when
the pipe line had be<?n laid. To him
Mr. Rockefeller said: "I built that pipe
line to make oil cheaper and I suc-
ceeded. I cut the cost more than half.
And yet they find fault."
Mr. McPherson then told of a din-
ner party several yjars ago at the
Rockefeller home when Mrs. Rocke-
feller explained the absence of oysters,
by saying, "we like them, but are too
poor to have them." This was to il-
lustrate Mr. McPherson's point that
a man might be worth 1100,000,000, and
still be short of read:.- cash If he kept
his factories In operation.
C. M. Woodward of St. Louis, the
retiring president, wbo spoke on "The
Science of Education/' said: "I see
nowhere in either aiicient or modern
times a people whose yonth have been
trained as our Am^rlcfens should be
trained. Neither Greece nor Rome with
their pinnacles or ciiltuie resting on
the barbarous founadtlon of human
slavery nor the blooded aristocracies
of modern times, can teach us how to
educate, train and adorn an American
citizen. We must not expect all our
students to rule, nor yet all to be
ruled; to direct, nor yet to he directed;
to employ, nor to be employed. They
must be capable of all these things.
No narrow, selfish airi, no prejudice or
caste, no false claim of hlgb culture
St Paul Nan and Wife and Stepdaughter
Made Seriously III.
St. Paul,, Dec. 28.— (Special to The
Herald.)— George Stewart, hia wife
and his stepdaughter, Mamie, were
poisoned Christmas day by eating
partly decayed turkey, bought at a
grocery. Stewart, who ate most
heartily, became sick first, and sought
a doctor vainly for hours. Meantime
the women also became sick. When
a physician arrived Stewart was in a
rather serious conditioii, but the
niothet" and daughter were out of
danger.
TRY SOLDIERS AT ONCE.
Long Delayed Pittsburg Killing Case to
be Pressed Now.
Pittsburg. Dec. 28.— The war depart-
ment has Instructed the United States
district attorney here that the long
delayed case of Lieut Ralph H. Drury
and Private John Dowd of the Ninth
United States infantry, under indict-
ment for the killing of William H.
Crowley, a citizen of Pittsburg, must
be tried without delay. The United
States supreme court has already de-
cided that the men be turned over
to the civil authorities. Since then
they have tried to have a date set
for their trial, without success.
According to the military authorl-
itieSi, Crowley was detected in the
theft of copper roofing belonging to
the government, and was shot while
trying to escape.

several others of a point or more each,
buying was renewed and the list moved 1
up smartly. Readirg showed the most
activity and strength, large purchases
being made in the neighborhood of 137.
Other stocks retrieved their losses wholly

keen sympathy with the movement of the
Hill group. St. Paul preferred and Dele-

THE CHICAGO MARKET.
Wheat Opens Quiet and Steajy on Small
Northwestern Receipts.
Chicago, Iwc. 18.— Tt.v wluat market to-
day opened quiet and steady because of
firm cables and small receipts in the
Northwest. The principal buying was by
take hold
spots.
Corn— May closed same as yesterday
after less than % cent upturn on buying
1.19% , enough and bull news enough to put a
1.19% 1 cent on the price were it not for the
enormous supplies, which are known to
exist and which will move when we get
a few weeks of good winter weather.
Cash market up a little. Enlarged re-
ceipts will bring lower prices.
Oats— Although elevator people and
Northwest houses were buyers, the mar-
ket weakened before the close with
wheat. Just at this time oats are likely
to follow any move in corn.

family had just thirty-two fence posts
with which to keep them warm until his
return. He had burned everything on his
farm that would produce he.at, and these
were the last of a fence that had sur-
rounded a forty-acre pasture.

The Market-Man
talks
At last I've found something
that catches the two extremes of
customers — those who never count
the cost and those who must make
every penny count, and that's Seal-
shipt oysters.
The rich man buys them be-
cause they are the most delicate
and palatable oysters he can buy at
any price.
On the other hand, the poor
man buys them because they arc
so economical. You see, they are
solid meats, and in buying them he
gets full value for his money. And
both classes find them the most
nutritious and appetizing oysters
ever put on "the market.
As for the pure-food cranks,
they almost live on Sealship oys-
ters. That idea of sealing the oys-
ters in an. enameled case, so that
no ice or water ever touches them,
appeals to everyone. Look at the
crowd around the Sealshipt coun-
ter! Doesn't that prove it? For sale
