Affairs  Resented. 


San  Francisco,  Dec.  24.— Resolutions 
denouncing  President  Roosevelt's  mes- 
sage to  congress  on  the  Japanese 
situation  In  San  Francisco,  re-senting 
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 
laborer,  and  declared  that  the  Japan- 
ese  were   more   of  a   menace    than   the

Madrid.  Dec.  24. — The  foreign  min- 
ister, replying  to  a  question  in  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-

missioner James  Passard  and  the

DEAD  ENGINEER 
AT  THE  THROTTLE 

Canadian    Pacific    Ex- 
press Dashed  Forward 
With  Great  Speed. 

Toronto,  Dec.  24.— "With  the  engin- 
eer dead  at  his  post,  and  his  hand  on 
]  the  throttle,  the  Canadian  Pacific 
railroad  Hamilton  express  tore 
tJirough  Parkdale  station,  on  Satur- 
day afternoon.  The  fireman,  alarmed 
at  the  increased  speed,  made  for  the 
engineer's  box,  and  found  the  man 
dead.  He  applied  the  emergency 
brakes,  and  the  train  came  to  a 
standstill.  The  engineer  was  Paul 
Jones.  It  is  supposed  he  was  struck 
by   a  semaphore. 


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 
women.

For  the  Russian  Army  Recommended  by

St.  Petersburg,  Dec.  24.— The  technical 
commission  of  the  general  staff  has  rec- 
ommended the  adoption  of  an  American 
military  web  cartridge  belt  and  haver- 
sack for  the  Russian  army.  This  equip- 
ment, whioh  is  put  on  in  one  piece,  is  far 
lighter  than  the  present  Russian  outfit, 
each  piece  of  which  is  donned  and  doffed 
separately.  The  American  equipment 
also  costs  20  cents  less  per  man.

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."

cific standard  time,  which  indicate  that 
a  severe  earthquake  has  occurred  at

Des  Moinelf,  Iowa,  Dec.  24. — 
The  political  situation  has  be- 
come somewhat  simplified  In 
Iowa  by  reliable  news  to  the 
effect  that  the  friends  of  Secre- 
tary Shaw  will  not  be  asked  to 
make  a  fight  to  .secure  for  him 
the  Iowa  delegation  to  the  Re- 
publican national  convention  of 
1908.  On  his  retirement  he  will 
go  into  business  and  abandon 
politics.  The  announcement  that 
the  secretary  may  enter  the  in- 
surance business  in  New  York  i.s 
readily  believed  here.  He  has 
had  valuable  experience  in  this 
line.

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.

Mr.  Younghusband:     "He  must  have  been  some  multi-nilllionaire." 


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."

The  following  dispatch  sent  out  from 
Fargo   tells  of   Mr.   Shanahan's  senti- 
ments: 

'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. 
"Mr.  Shanahan  Is  convinced  that  the 
agitation  over  both  the  Wisconsin  and 
the  national  inspection  has  resulted  in 
a  great  improvement  in  the  Minnesota 
inspection  and  that  it  is  now.  perhaps, 
better  than  at  any  former  period.

Gidding  Half  Price  Sale 

Commences  Wednesday  morning,  Decem- 
ber 27th,  their  annual  half  price  clearance 
sale  ot  suits  and  novelty  coats.  This  sale 
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 
every  season  since.  It  is  different  from 
the  usual  sales  held,  in  so  much  as  it 
is  inaugurated  early  enough  in  th'i 
season  for  the  women  to  get  practically 
tlie  full  use  of  their  garments.  There  is 
but  little  doubt  that  the  Gidding  store 
will  be  a  mecca  for  the  most  discrimin- 
ating women  buyers  at  the  Head  of  th-i

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.'? 

where    their    failure    to    perform    their 

work    had    resulted    in    large    loss    of

Mr.  Dash  was  33  years  of  age  at  the

and  later  was  connected  with  the  Du- 
luth Electrical  &.  Supply  company.  He 
always  took  an  active  interest  in  out- 
door sports,  being  one  of  the  officers 
of  the  Endion  Tenni.s  club.  He  was 
al?-  Instrumental  in  organizing  many 
hockey  and  iudoor  ba.=  eball  teams,  and 
most  of  his  spare  time  was  devoted  to 
the  promotion  of  ariateur  athletics, 
from  the  participation  in  which  he 
was  barred  by  his  physical  misfortune. 

He  was  a  member  of  a  local  Ma- 
sonic lodge,  and  the  funeral  will  b«j

of  packages,  containing  Christmas 
presents,  received  at  the  White  House

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 

story  of  the  porcupine  Vr'."^,  ^^^^,1  if  to?d 
his  QuiUs.  and  fc-w  would  beli*3\e  ^  'f  t*>l^ 
that  there  are  some  lish  that  .'>o»-ajn  * 
large  portion  of  their  food  by  shooting- 
it.  but  this  last  Is  the  truth.  One  of 
these  is  the  toxote,  a  han  in  the  rivers  of 
Malaysia.  He  is  known  as  the  archer  or 
spitiing-ftsh.  Although  aquatic.  t"«  tox- 
me  has  a  taste  for  winged  insects  Wlien 
It  sees  an  insect  upon  an  overhanging 
branch  it  approaches  a«  "f^r  ^^  iW,^f ' 
Alls  its  mouth  with  water  and  then  clos- 
Ine  its  gills,  raises  its  snout  above  the 
sm-face  fnd  shoots  a  long  thread  of  water 
at  the  insect.  The  toxote  rarely  misses 
Its  aim.  and  the  game  Is  washed  oft  the 
leaf  and  Into  the  river. 

"In  Java  many  people  preserve  the  tox- 
ote in  aquariums,  obtaining  considerable 
amusenient  from  watching  it  shoot  at  the 
flies  that  come  within  range. 
"^  "l,!<;iher  of  the  ■sl»ooting'  fish  is  the 
ohelinous  which  uses  a  Jet  of  salt  ^^aier,

ote."

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. 

"All  is  soon  ready  in  an  orderly 
house;"  and  the  ad.  you  are  looking 
for  is  soon  found  in  The  Herald  wanl 
column. 


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. 

These  Annual  Garment  Clearance  Sales  are  acknowledged 
by  everybody  to  be  the  greatest  bargain  events  held  in  Duluth 
each  season.  Every  woman  that  has  ever  attended  one  will 
be  present.  We  do  the  largest  coat  and  suit  business  in  Du- 
luth, and  you  can  therefor  appreciate  what  it  means  to  clean 
up  a  stock  of  the  magnitude  of  this.  Greater  bargains  and 
more  of  them  than  ever  before.

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.

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-

he  says.  "I  don't  see  no  sense  n  that.

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

none  to  speak  of  at  the  table,  but  Id 
been  studyln'  them  Peters  twins  a  spell 
an'  I  had  my  own  Ideas.  O  course,

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

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.

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

"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-

'His  two  pairs  didn't  'pear  to  be  worth 
no  such  money,  an'  he  was  up  against  the

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.'  " ^^__ 

AN  ILL  WIND. 

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 
Imagine  Daniel,  If  he  was  at  all  of  my 
i  mind,  heaving  a  sigh  of  relief  as  th« 
lions  drew  near  to  devour  blra— heav- 
ing a  sigh  of  relief  and  murmsrlnari 

"  'Well,  If  there's  any  after-dinner 
speaking  to  be  done  on  this  oooajslon, 
at  least  It  won't  be  done  by  m«."

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

folks  in  town  who  could  have  ordered 
cranberries  and  nuts  and  other  keep- 


ables  a  week  ago  left  it  all  until  this

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

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

Horace  B.  Moore,  a  former  mayor  of 
Dulyth,  and  secretary  and  treasurer  of

dead  of  heart  failure,  about  7:30  o'clock

Chester  terrace. 

Mr.  Moore  was  63  years  of  age  at  the 
time  of  his  death,  and  had  apparently 
been  in  good  health.  He  had  been  busy 
most  of  the  day  In  his  ofllce,  straight- 
ening up  the  aflairs  of  the  board  for 
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.

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. 


j  but  should  they  fail  to  be  made  the 
commission  reserves  the  right  to  step 
in   and   adjust   the   differences.

MllwauJcee,  Wis.,  Dec.  24.— One  of  the 
biggest  men  In  Milwaukee  passed  away 
when  Dr.  Aloys  Pfister  breathed  his  last 
at  the  Milwaukee  hospital.  Dr.  Pfister 
was  6  feet  4  inches  and  weighed  400 
pounds,  and  was  well  known  in  profes- 
plonal  circles  in  Milwaukee.  He  was  a 
native  of  Munich,  Germany,  where  his 
family  was  highly  esteemed. 

When  he  first  came  to  America  Dr. 
Pfl.ster  published  a  high-class  illustrated 
German  weekly,  upon  which  he  sunk  a 
fortune.  He  came  to  Milwaukee  about 
five  years  ago.  He  was  37  years  of 
age.

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. 


HOTEL  (K)SS1P. 

"An  old  friend  of  mine,  H.  E.  Barnard, 
chemist  of  the  ludiana  state  board  of 
heailh,  is  a  memb|^  o^the  national  pure 
food  commlaslon.  and  recently  returned 
from  Louisville.  Ky..  where  the  commls- 
^on  went  to  pass  on  whiskey  standards." 
said  W.  E.  Bailey  of  Indianapolis.  Ind..

make  a  ruling  on  whisky, 

"The  commission  found  i-ather  a  curi- 
ous state  of  aifairs  in  JCentucky.  It 
made  the  surprising  discovery  that  about 
;20.000,000  gallons  of  whisky  is  cU^tiUed  In 
this  state  each  year,  and  j»Jx>ut  70,000.000 
gallons  is  shipped  out  eacb.  year.  There 
is  an  apparent  discrepancy  of  about  50,- 
000,000  gallons.  ^.,  , 

"Investigation  showed  that  while  only 
about  20,000,000  gallons  are  distilled  there 
in  the  regular  way.  the  50,000,000  gallons 
consists  of  the  so-called  whisky  that  is 
made  up  of  regularly  di:Jtilled  whisky

give  the  real  whisky  taiite  and  jooK, 
is  mixed  with  the  regulax  vfhiaky  and-tho 
resulting   beverage  is  called  wliisky. 

"The  question  that  confrtinted  the  com- 
mission was  whether  or  not  this  whisky 
is  reaUy  whisky  within  Uie  meaning  or 
the  pure  food  law.  If  so,  the  property 
of  the  rectifiers,  to  the  «;xtent  of  mil- 
lions of  doUars,  will  not  be  disturbed.  It 
not.  the  mixture  will  have  to  be  labeled 
as  neuU-al  spirits,  and  wha  would  delib-

and   ask  for  a   botUe  of    neutral  spln-ta. 

or  a  drink  of  the   same  stuff?"

"Speaking  of  whisky."  said  B.  F. 
George  of  St.  Paul,  who  overheard  the 
above  conversation,  "reminds  me  tnat  i

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.

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.

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 
away  the  trade  previously  held  by  the 
latter  with  the  Japanese. 


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.

Trees  Protected. 

The  appointment  of  a  special  officer 
by  the  park  board  to  watch  the  parks 
and  guard  against  the  cutting  of  Christ 
mas  trees,  has  resulted  in  slopping  all 
depredations  of  this  nature  this  year, 
and  the  park  property  has  not  been 
touched  by  those '  searching  for  their 
Chrlsmas  decorations. 

Postoflice  Hours. 

Evervbody  wiio  has  tlie  necessary  en- 
ergy to  visit  the  postoffice  tomorrow  will

woodsmen  who  used  to  work  together 
in  the  Saginaw  district,  grew  too  hilar- 
ious In  their  celebrations  Saturday 
evening,  and  were  arrested  as  they 
were  shouting  a  Scandinavian  saga 
with  the  full  power  of  their  lungs.

Constable  Lost  His  Key. 

Because  Constable  Oscar  Larson  of 
Fall  Lake  lost  the  key  to  the  hand- 
cuffs which  he  placed  on  Waiter  Ga- 
zella,  to  bring  him  to  the  county  jail  at 
Duluth.  the  jall  officials  had  to  work 
about  four  hours  Saturday  afternoon  to 
file  the  shackles  off  the  prisoner,  a  pro- 
cess tliat  was  a  rather  painful  one  to 
Gazella.  The  latter  was  sent  up  for 
twenty  days  because  he  refused  to 
work  for  a  lumber  firm  after  being  fur- 
nisaed  transportation  to  Fall  Lake.  It 
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

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

(INCORPORATED  BY  THE  STATE  OF  NEW  YORK,  STOCK  COMPANY) 

''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 
Guaranteed  Dividend,  also  under  a  new  and  more  descriptive 
name;  the  Guaranteed  Increased  Endowment;  and  the  Re- 
duced Premium  Life  under  its  new  name.  Life  with  Reduced 
Premium   after   20    Years. 

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,

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

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

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."

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.

"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

republic  is  .a  name  iii|ife*BLnce;  It  has 
been  well  said  of  It,— -tlrat  It  sleeps 
on  the  bed  of  Louis  XIV.  France 
never  understood  the  niaoiiing  of  a  re- 
public, which  is  respecMior  private  and 
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 
of  Republicans,  seatedPin  parliament, 
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 
great  iH)wer  and  all  w^^st  think  and 
act  as  the  state  will 
This  is  certainly  the 
fldels,  who  now  rule  t 
I  am  not  at  all  sure 
some  degree  at  leasts  -tl^  ^rit  of  good 
Catholics,  who  were  they  to  be  to- 
morrow in  the  asceai4iincy  should  be- 
lieve it  their  duty '  ti>  make  every- 
one go  to  mass,  as  the  present  gov- 
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 
provinces  awaken  tomorrow  morning 
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- 
pit the  spirit  of  pa.s3lve .  obedience,  in- 
herited from  old  regimes.-  Admirable  in 
teaciiing  the  catechism,  ^n  aJministering 
the  sacraments— they  haj^e  nbver  learned 
the  virtues  of  public  life,  they  have  never 
quickened  beneath  the  activities  of  the 
battleheld.  Their  example  and  their 
preachings  have  left  their  disciples  in  the 
same  passivity— and  thcje  know  notliing 
of  the  public  defense  of  principles;  saints 
before  the  altar,  they  ar©  cowards  be- 
fore  the   electoral   urn.    . 

"Then,  French  CatholI<is  have  been  un- 
fortunate in  many  of  their  leaders  and 
spokesmen.  These  remain  dreamers  of 
the  past,  partisans  of  buried  political  re- 
gimes. If  the  masses  of  the,  people  have 
Uarned  any  one  thing,  it  is  this— tliat 
France  is  a  republic,  that  they  the  Re- 
publicans. But  the  Mona.rchist3  are  num- 
erous, chietty  the  old  nobility,  the  most 
generous  patrons  of  religion,  and  too 
many  clergy,  who  still  read  their  poli- 
tics in  Bossuet  and  Mas5tilon,  who  judge 
the  republican  form  of  government  by  tha 
Jacobine  republic  ©f  contemporary 
France.  Here  is  the  weakness  ot  tlie 
Catholics  of  France— the  intidel,  tlie  So- 
cialist, who  solicits  votes,  cries  out— the 
republic  is  in  peril;  no  Republican  must 
cast  his  vote  for  a  Monarchist— even  it 
fhat  Monarchist  be  otlierwise  the  beat 
and  purest  of  men;  and  the  masses  vote 
for  the  intidel,  or  the  Socialist,  in  order 
that  the  republic  survivt!,  ^ijustlng  to  the 
republic  to  do  in  the  long  run  what  i.s 
most  serviceable  for  France  and  even  for 
religion  itself.  The  evil,  goes  farther. 
Tliere  Is  an  Infldel  or  a.  Socialist  candi-

moderate  and  conserva  .ive,  who  clings 
to  a  peaceful,  even  religious  France.  But 
he  is  a  Republican;  Moniruhists,  general- 
ly well  known  Catholics,  put  up  a  can- 
didate of  their  own;  thi  king  must  not 
W-i  forgotten;  if  no  kings  live,  scores  of 
them  have  lived,  and  tiilelity  to  them  is 
the  duty  of -the  hour.  What  happens? 
The  Moderate  R«'publican  is  defeated; 
the  intidel  or  Socialist  Is  elected.  This  is 
what  is  witnessed  in  numerous  circum- 
stances on  every  election  day.  No  one 
understood  France  belter  than  Leo  Xlil. 
He  bade  all  Catholics  seek  the  welfare  oi 
the  country  and  of  church  within  the 
ranks  of  loyal  adherentsi  to  the  republic. 
Had  Leo  been  listened  'o,  France  in  all 
probability  would  have  escaped  the  reli- 
gious persecution  of  the  present  day. 
Monarchical  Ideas  and  plottlngs  have 
done  dreadful  injury  to  the  church  in

protest  against  the  recent  action  of  the 
French  government  in  relation  to  the 
Catholic  church  in  France.  Addresses 
were  made  by  local   prijsts. 

The  position  taken  by  the  speakers  was 
that  the  French  goverrime'nt.  in  its  in- 
fidel hatred  of  the  CatUOHc  church  and 
of  all  Christianity,  had  ^Kolated  all  the 
principles  of  free  government  by  denynig 
civil  and  religious  liberty  .to .  the  French 
Catholics,  by  refusing  to  ri&cognize  the 
rights  of  property  in  confiscating  the 
property  of  the  church  and  by  wanton- 
ingly  violating  tha  nation'^  solemn  com-

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

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

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.

Christmas  Exercises 

A  Christmas  song  service  took  the 
place  of  the  regular  services  at  the 
Lester  Park  M.  E.  church  last  evening, 
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 
school  entertainment  takes  place  Mon- 
day evening,  when  Christmas  trees  and 
Santa  Claus  will  be  in  evidence,  and 
when  the  children  will  not  only  receive 
presents,  but  will  have  an  opportunity 
to  bring  gifts  to  be  given  to  the  needy 
poor  of  the  city.

GROWTH  IN 
COMMERCE 

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 
conspired  to  prevent  the  plaintiff  from 
exercising  a  lawful  trade  or  calling.  Be- 
I  cause  of  criticisms  made  of  the  plays 
1  given  at  the  various  theaters,  the  defen-

dants  had  given  instruciitns  that  tlio 
i  critic  should  not  be  admiited,  and  ha  had 
been  forcibly  prevtnted  from  entering 
after  purchasing  a  ticket.  The  supreme 
court  of  New  York  refers  to  the  familiar 
doctrine  that  the  conducting  of  a  the- 
ater is  a  private  enterprise,  and  that,  in 
the  ab.«ence  of  statutory  regulation,  the 
proprietor  has  the  right  to  say  who  shall 
enter.  Under  this  doctrine  the  court 
states  that  the  agreement  to  exclude  the 
critic  was  not  an  unlawful  one,  and  that 
if  liis  pre.sence  was  distasteful  or  injur- 
ious to  their  business,  the  proprietors 
had  the  lawful  right  to  agree  to  exclude 
him.

^ew   Haven       &       Hartord 
.. „„„  v^„..1pany,  78  Northeastern   Re- 
porter, 418,   inukes   a  decision    upon    the 
interesting  *iuefitlion   of   whether  a  per- 
son is  being  carried  as  a  passenger.  In 
this  case  the  person  injured  as  the  re- 
sult of  a  collision  had  obtained  a  ticket 
by    presenting    to    the    agent    a    forged 
cerificate  to  the  effect  that  she  was  un- 
der 18  and  a  pupil   in  a  certain   school, 
the   railroad    havin?   contracted   to   con- 
vey pupils  at  reduced   rates.  The  hold- 
ing   is    to    the    effe:t    that    the   carnage 
I  of   the   person   was   brought   about      by 
fraud  and   that  shi  was  not  a  passen- 
ger. 

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. 

'  LOWEST  RESP'DNSIBLE  BIDDER.— 
That  state  boards  must  obey  the  rather 
common  statutory  injunction  to  award

MEMBERS' 
SALARIES 

Senate  Not   Likely   to 

Make  Increase  Defeated 

in  House. 


May  Resent    Action  in 

Regard  to  Members' 

Clerk  Hire. 


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

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-

IN  CRITICALJCONDITION. 

tver  P.  Peterson  in  Bemidji  Hospital  and 
Likely  to  Die. 

Bemidji,  Minn..  Dec.  24.— Iver  P.  Peter- 
son, who  \\:as  b^o-ight  down  from  Beau,- 
dette  by  Sheriff  Bailey  and  placed  in

much  hope  is  entertained  of  his  recover- 
ing from  the  effects  of  having  eaten  a 
quantity  of  lye  prior  to  being  brought

Peterson  sw.allowed  enough  of  the  lye 
to  burn  his  lips,  mouth  and  throat  to 
burn  and  leave  tJio  skin  raw.  It  is  be- 
lieved that  some  of  the  lye  went  into 
his  stomach,  and  lie  is  in  a  critical  condi- 
tion. He  had  drank  very  heavily  of 
alcohol  for  some  time,  which  also  had

SALES-RIGHT  TO  REGULATE  RE-

the  right  of  a  manufacturer  to  control

found  in  Hartmen  vs.  John  B.  Park  &

whtre  the  United  States  circuit  court

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  ,

CHARITABLE  INSTITUTIONS  -  IN- 
JITRIES  TO  SIORVANTS— The  supreme 
court  of  New  Hampshire  in  Hewett  vs 
Woman's  Hospital  Aid  association,  04 
Atlantic  Reporter,  IStO.  holds  that  a  hos- 
pital conducted  as  a  charity  is  liable 
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  | 
for    the    Second    circuit    in    Folwell    vs   . 
Miller,   145   Federal   Reporter,   495,   holds 
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.

ment that  -the  wheels  of  commerce

{o  have  a  right  of  way  for  the  railroad

pensive to  prepare.

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 
damn  fool  in  congress  named  Sher- 
man secured  the  enactment  of  a  law

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-

\\'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-

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.          

ICE  TRACK  READY. 

Horses  Are  Tried  Out  on  the  West  End 
Coersc. 

The    new    ice    track    In    the    West   end 

was  quite  freely  used  Saturday  by  horse 

owners,   who  took  advantage  of   the  fine 

winter   weather    to    try    out    their   racers 

In   harness. 

The  track  !s  In  first  class  shape,  be- 
ing smooth  and  well  cleajied.  and  ^ouie

morrow  iLftemoon.

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

ON  SOOROAD 

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-

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.

THE  CHICAGO  MARKET. 

With  a 


and 


Vfheat  Started  Oat  Easy 
Dull  Trade. 

Chicago.  Dec.  24.— The  wheat  market 
today  opened  easy  and  with  a  dull 
trade.  Pit  traders  were  moderate  sell- 
ers and  small  holders  also  disposed  of 
considerable  long  wheat.  May  wheat 
opened  unchanged  to  ^c  lower  at  77i/2C 
to  77%c  and  for  a  time  held  within  these 
figures.  Minneapolis,  Duluth  and  Chi- 
cago reported  receipts  of  707  cars 
against  782  cars  last  week  and  a  holi- 
day one  year  ago. 

The  close  was  tirm  with  May  up  %c 
at   77"sc. 

The  corn  market  opened  easier  on 
selling  by  cash  houses.  Trading  in  the 
aggregate  was  very  light.  May  opened 
%c  lower  at  43i8C  and  sold  at  4314c.  Local 
receipts  were  614  cars  with  1  of  contract 
grade. 

The  close  was  steady  with  May  un- 
cbajiged   at   4314C. 

The  oats  market  was  quiet  and  easy. 
May  oats  opened  l^c  higher  at  3514c  to 
86%c  and  sold  at  3a%c.  Local  receipts 
were  233  cars. 

The  provisions  market  was  fairly  ac- 
tive and  prices  were  firm.  A  decline  of 
Be  to  lOc  In  the  price  of  live  hogs  offset 
a  fair  selling  movement  by  local  trad- 
ers. Mav  pork  opened  '^Waoc  higlier  at

CJopper    Gossip. 

Walker  Bros,  to  Paine,  Webber  &  Co.: 
The  market  was  weak  and  unsettled. 
Liquidation  and  a  good  many  stop  loss 
orders  were  reached.  The  increase  in 
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.

DECUNES 
II^CKS 

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%.

—Barrett  &  Zimmerman's  report:  Mar-

are  holding  back  until  after  the  holi- 
days. One  of  the  finest  car  lot  of  horses 
ever  bought  on  this  market  was  ship- 
ped to  Bemidji  today.  Logging  horses

Corn— It  is  the  big  run  of  corn  that  is 
Inevitable  that  will  knock  in  the  end

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

isn't  everybody    tiiat   can   keep    his  nerve 
steady    enough    to   play   according    to   his 
figures    when    he    has    tliem    in    his   head.

Logan  &  Bryan  to  Paine.  Webber  &

which  was  entirehy  professional.  As 
the  day  wore  on  the  market  fell  into 
the  same  spell  of  liquidation  which  has 
been  in  evid?:ice  for  the  past  week  and 
stop  orders  were  caught  and  the  gen- 
eral list  sagg'  d.  There  was  no  news

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 
oa  record.  Preparations  for  January 
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 
Increase  In  earning  power  in  every  dl- 
rection,  without  having  an  abiding

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.

continual  misplay.    The  small  limit  game  ;

"The  ideal  way  to  play  poker  would  be  | 

to    consider    the    chips    merely    as    chips, 

i  without    regard    to    their    money    value.

"After  fixing  in  the  mind  the  first  pro- 
position in  poker,  which  is  that  no  bet 
should  ever  be  made  at  odds  which  are 
disproportionate  to  the  chance  of  win- 
ning, the  student  is  ready  for  the  next 
problem,  which  is  the  calculation  of  his 
chance  of  holding  the  best  cards. 

"Here  he  is   up  against  the  most  com- 
plicated figuring,  and  the  most  he  can  ex-

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- 
j  ly.   Leaving  the  stop  bell  on   he  steps 
'  down   himself   from   his   car  and   gets 
'  back  of  the  wabbly  drunken  man  and 
takes  him   ijy  the  shoulders  and,   half 
supporting,    half    guiding    him,    walks 
him  firmly,  but  still  gently  across  the 
street  and   up  to  the  sidewalk  and  to 
safety     by     the     side     of     the     sub- 
'  way    station    sidewalk  entrance  shel- 
ter,     around      tne      end      of      which 
'  tne     drunken     man   gropes  his     way 
to    the   side,   there      to      lean    pafe,    at 
least  for  the  moment,  and  safe  so  far 
as    the    conluctors   actual   and   moral 
'•  responsibility   is  concerned,   while   the 
1  conductor   skips   back  to   his  car  and 
vanks  the  bell. 

I  Now  there  was  an  act  that  at  first 
thought  one  might  without  que<?tlon 
set  down  as  one  of  limited  selfish  kind- 
ness but  as  a  matter  of  fact  the  trol- 
ley conductor  is  human  like  the  rest  of 
us.  and  in  his  kindness  toward  this 
drunken  man  he  may  have  been  actu- 
at»»d  also  bv  benevolent  Impulses,  as, 
indeed,  noi"«4mprobably  he  v.-as.  Tna 
in  that  case  it  would  be  neces.sary  to 
make  a  new  classification  for  it.  and 
call  this  act  limited-selflsh-benevolent 
variety.

CLOSE    QUESTIONING. 

In     recalling    Incidents    connected    with 

Virginia  politics  some  years  ago  a  prom- 

jlnent    Virginian    recently       related    to    a 

(Washington  man  an  account  of  an  Invest- 

ligation    of    election    frauds    in    the    lower 

!«ectIon  of  the  state,  says  the  Washington 

'star.     In  the  course  of  the  proceedmgs  It 

'developed  that  the  ballots  in  an  important 

had    not    been 


people  are  not  playing  draw  poker 
though  they  think  they  are,  and 
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  four    out    of    every    five    players    lose    a 

I  whole    lot    of    money    that    they    have   no 

'  license    to    lose.      The    only    reason    they 

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,   * 

"Now   this   Is  all  wrong.     I   admit   that 
professional  gamblers,  nearly  all  of  them, 
will  cheat  when  they  can't    win  otherwise.

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.

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

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.

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.

in  Europe.     Obictor  was  unmarried.

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

fendants discharged,  on  the  ground 
that  the  state  had  not  made  out  a 
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-

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

Havana,  Dec.  24. — A  dispatch  from 


Guines,  this  province,  today  announced 
that  a  patrol  of  rural  guards  has  had

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

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."

MYSTERY  OF  DE  RAYLAN'S 
LIFE  AS  WOMAN  HUSBAND 


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- 
ciras  eaty  was  to  the  fore;  but 
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- 
cans and  Democrats  will  support 
It  when  it  gets  into  the  senate. 
Morgan  is  the  ranking  Democrat  on 
the  committee,  and  it  i.s  believed  will 
hold    the    Democrats    in    line. 

President  Roosevelt,  however,  has 
not  waited  for  an  indorsement  from 
congress,  but  has  indicated  to  the 
British    government    that    the    admin-

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. 

SISTERS  FIGHT 
DUEL  FOR  LOVE 

Fatal  Outcome  of  Tangled 
Cuban  Romance— Auth- 
orities Investigating. 

JIavanii.  D«:-<'.  i"..— Tiit  rtport  of  a  duel 
betwten  two  listers  has  Just  reached  here. 
Marin  and  Cai;meii,  Hidalf|u«-z  lived  on  a 
farm  near  Las  Lajas.     Not  far  away  on 

another  plantation  workt-d  a  handsome 
chap  named  Juanilie,  with  whom  both 
wern  in  love.  Juanilie  seems  to  have  di- 
vided  his.  atlt-ntions. 

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. 

8«'ajeh  revealed  the  h<jdy  of  Maria  on 
the  adjoining  estate  of  Maguayara.  Car- 
inen  has  not  yet  been  anested,  but  the 
courts    are    investigating    the    case. 

The  sisters  previously  had  been  de- 
voted to  eacii  other.  One  report  from  Las 
Lajas  has  it  that  they  did  not  shoot  at 
eaeh  otl'.er,  but  <lrew  lots  to  see  which 
should  have  Juanilie,  who  since  has  dis- 
appeared.

NEGROES  IN  MISSISSIPPI 
THREATEN  WHITE  PEOPLE 
AND  TROOPS  CALLED  OUT 


Chicago,  Dec.  25.— The  three-day  won- 
der growing  out  of  the  discovery  that 
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 
tills   country   and   Russia. 

Mrs.  Eijgenie  Bruchulis<  3112  .South 
Halsted  street,  De  Raylans  first  "wife," 
and  Mrs.  Anne  De  Itaylan,  592  Califor- 
nia avenue,  both  unbosomed  them- 
selves in  explaining  the  "mystery." 

There  was  no  great  secret  dating 
back  to  an  "jiffair"  with  a  nobleman 
in  Russia.  The  wonun,  De  Raylan,  was 
of  the  common  class  and  of  the  soutn- 


Phlladelphla,  Dec.  25.— Just  as  he 
presented  a  Christmas  gift  to  his  wife, 
Thomas  Cardin  of  this  city  dropped 
dead  of  heart  disease. 

There  had  been  the  usual  Christmas 
gaiety  at  the  Cardin  home.  Mr.  Car- 
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-  | 
gent  nature  were  f.ttended  to,  and  in 
consequence  the  army  of  government 
tmployes  and  officials  were  free  to 
give  thimselves  over  to  the  enjoy- 
ment of  the  day. 

As  has  been  the  custom  In  the  past, 
simplicitv  everywhere  surrounded  the 
events  at  the  White  House.  The 
president  w  as  an  early  riser  and 
tran.sacted  considerable  bu.«iness.  j 

I      The  presents  were  many  and  beau-  ^ 
I  tilul       Early      in      the      morning,      the  , 
i  entire      family,      inriuding     Represen- 
tative   and     Mrs.     l.ongworth,    assem-  , 
bkd  .  upstairs     and     the     gifts     were 
passed   around.      A   large   tree   was   on  , 
exhibition.      Tonight   at    8    o'clock,    the 
family    will    eat    their    Christmas    din- 

Vice  President  and  Mr.s.  Fairbanks 
spent  the  dav  quietly  in  their  home, 
as  did  the  various  cabinet  members 
and   their   families.

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 
bv  the  laws  of  the  stale,  and  that  State's 
Attorney  Healy  and  Sheriff  Strassheim, 
as  county  offirials,  are  the  proper  persona 
to  enforce   the  state  law?. 


t   FORM  OF  ORDINARY  RED  DEER  t 
AND  EYES  LIKE  THOSE  OF  WOLF  | 

Sault  Ste.  Marie,  Mich.,  Dec.  4 
25. — The  head  of  an  animal  ♦ 
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." 


OFFERED  TOj)R.  MAYO. 

Governor  Johnson  Would  Appoint  Him 
Regent  of  University. 

St.  Paul,  Dec.  26. —  (Special  to 
The  Herald.) — Governor  Johnson  an- 
nounced today  that  be  had  tenderc;d 
the  position  of  regent  of  the  state 
university  to  Dr.  William  J.  Mayo 
of  Rochester.  Dr.  Mayo  has  not 
yet  stated  whether  he  will  accept 
the  position.  The  terms  of  three  of 
the  regents  expire  with  the  first  of

Meridian,  Miss.,  Dec.  25.— Early  today 
It  was  reported  that  a  body  of  negroea 
had  fortihed  themselves  two  miles  from 
Wahalak  and  announced  they  will  resist 
any  effort  to  dislodge  them.  They 
threaten  to  burn  the  little  town  and 
the  white  people  are  alarmed.  The 
whites  all  around  the  country  have 
armed  themselves  and  one  party  of 
lifiy  armed  persons  have  arived  there 
from  Columbus,  Miss.  Two  negroes, 
Tom  and  Jim  Simpson,  are  reported 
to  have  been  killed  by  white  pwjple 
yesterday  afttrnoon  beiorer  the  arrival 
of  the  troops,  under  the  command  of 
Col.    Samuel    McCants. 

At  3:30  this  morning  firing  was 
heard  in  the  center  of  the  town,  but 
after  a  few  scattering  shots,  quiet  was 
restored  and  no  explanation  nas  been 
forthcoming.  Iceland  Sparkman,  a 
white  man,  was  wounded  by  the  acci- 
dental discharge  of  a  pistol  about  the 
time  of  the  other  shooting.  C<>1.  Mc- 
Cants announces  that  he  will  place  a 
gatling  gun  in  position  and  use  It  if 
necessary. 

A  special  message  to  the  Morning 
Dispatch  at  an  early  hour  today  says: 
"One  company  of  infantry  and  a  bat- 
tery of  artillery  are  in  charge.  Two 
negroes  have  been  killed  by  citizens. 
Troops  are  now  guarding  the  town. 
A  body  of  negroes,  said  to  be  armed, 
are  fortified  about  two  miles  fro* 
the  town." 

Wahalak   is   about    twenty-five   miles 
south    of    Meridian    on    the    Mobile    & 
Ohio    railroad    and    was    the    scene    on 
Sunday  of  a  dt-suerate  fierht  on  a  train

men   ajid   the  serious   wounding  of   an- 
'sions  last  night.     Hear  Admiral  Nebog-    other.    It    Is    reporled    that    the    town

of  th*-  Battleship  Nicolas  I.,  were  sen- 
tenced to  death,  but  In  view  of  extenu- 
ating circumstances  and  the  long  and 
otherwise  blameless  careers  of  tluse  ot- 
licers,  the  court  will  petition  the  emper

The  sentences  passed  upon  Rear  Ad-  Cooper  fired  on  his  assailant,  seriously- 
wounding  him  and  killing  an  unknown 
negro.  When  Wahalak  was  reached, 
.Spencer,  though  badly  wounded,  left 
the  train,  and  when  Constable  OBrien 
!  of  that  place  attempted  to  effect  Wa 
capture,  the  negro  shot  and  killed  the 
officer.  Spencer  then  escaped  to  the 
woods  with  a  well  organized  posse  In 
pursuit.  At  last  reports  the  negro  had 
succeeded   In  evading  his  pursuers. 


The  trouble  originated  while  the 
train  wa.-<  between  Wahalak  and 
.Scooba.  In  a  fight  between  two  ne- 
groes. Conductor  Cooper,  who  was  in 
charge  of  the  train,  attempted  to  sep- 
arate the  cambatante.  and  he  was  at- 
,1.,,,!  tacked  by  a  negro     known  as  .'Spencer.

that  Raisuli,  the  bandit  leader  who  has 
been  in  control  of  territory  In  the  neigh- 
borhood of  Tangier,  is  actively  engaged 
in  arniinK  bands  of  men,  and  there  is 
nuifh  anxiety  here  as  to  whether  he  will 
fight  the  sultans  forces  or  not.  The 
governmental  troops  under  the  command 
of  Sid  Mohammed  Gabbas,  minister  of 
war,  are  in  camp  near  here.  They  num- 
ber over  1',(h;»0  men  and  are  better  equipped 
than  are  the  sultans  soldiers.  The  min- 
ister of  war  has  left  a  garrison  of  2,(XX) 
men  at  Kasr  El  Kebir,  about  half  way 
between  here  and  Fez,  another  garrison 
of  1,0(10  men  at  Ain  Delia,  while  a  third 
garrison  of  l,Ot<0  men  is  awaiting  instruc-

Washburn,  Wis..  Dec.  25.— Plans  are 
being  perfected  by  the  Civic  league  for  a 
campaign  against  law-breafting.  Since 
the  organization  of  the  league  a  cam- 
paign has  been  waged  against  gam- 
bling, and  the  result  has  been  that  all 
resorts  in  the  city  have  been  closed.

will  be  for  the  closing  of  all  saloons  on

taken  an  active  interest  in  the  league 
since  its  organization.  He  Is  not  at  all 
alarmed  over  the  letter,  but  says  the  com-

REQUEST  FOR 
EXTRADITION 

Of  Henry  Krebs  Refused 

by  the  Governor  of 

Michigan. 

St  Paul  Dec.  25.— (Special  to  The 
Herald.)— Deputy  Sheriff  Picha,  who 
left  Dec.  19  for  Detroit,  Mich.,  with  a 
request  from  Governor  Johnson  for 
the  extradition  of  Honry  Krebs,  alias 
Benedict  Block,  wanted  on  a  charge  of 
grand  larceny,  has  returned  without 
his  man.  The  governor  of  Michigan  re- 
fused to  honor  the  request  for  the  ex- 
tradition, without  giving  an  adequate 
explanation  of  his  action. 

The  charge  against  Krebs  was  filed 
by  Christ  Keller,  a  Dakota  farmer, 
who  claims  that  by  means  of  false  and 
fraduknt  representations.  Krebs  in- 
duced him  to  purchase  an  Interest  in 
the  American  Wine  &  Liquor  com- 
pany. 350  East  Seventh  street.  The 
consideration,  it  was  claimed,  was  a 
deed  to  Keller's  farm  in  North  Dakota, 
valued  at  $4,010.  Keller  claims  that, 
after  obtaining  the  deed.  Krebs  sold 
the  farm  and  left  without  leaving  his 
address.

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,

"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

"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."

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." 


SUFFERS  FROM 
LOI\[G;  EXPOSURE 

fH  — T 

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.

From  the  Bluffton,  Ind.,  Banner: 
"Wh"n  tired  out,  go  home.  When  you

to  show  others  that  you  have  re- 
formed, go  home  and  let  y«.-ur  family 
get  acquainted  with  the  fact.  When 
you  want  to  show  yourself  at  your 
be.st  go  home  and  do  the  act  there. 
When  J'ou  feel  like  being  extra  liberal 
go  home  and  practice"  on  your  wife 
and  children  first.  When  you  want  to 
shine  with  extra  brilliancy  go  home 
and  light  up  the  whole  household."

Youn^  Hnnish  Woman  Charges  Assault 
and  Slander. 

Rose  Helkkila,  a  young  Finnish  woman, 
has  started  a  suit  against  Sam  &  Lee, 
proprietors  of  a  ChlneKe  restaurant  in 
Superior,  to  recover  $1,500  damages  for 
alleged  slander  and  assault. 

Miss  Helkkila  claims  tliat  she  has  been  I 
employed  at  the  restaurant  for  about  two  | 
months,  and  thiH  a  few  lays  ago  Charles 
Sam    accused    her    of    .stealing    a    purse 
containing  $45  aj)d  struck,  her  In  the  chest

Pepper,  the  well  known  distiller  and 
h.'jrseman,  of  Lexington,  Ky.,  died  at  the

MORNING  HEADACHE 

A  Universal  Remedy  for  a 
Common  Malady. 

The  most  distressing  form  of  head- 
ache Is  the  kind  that  comes  shortly 
after  arising.  Women  especially  are 
liable  to  suffer  from  attacks  which 
sometimes  last  an  entire  day,  if  the 
proper  remedy  is  not  at  hand.  Many 
will  be  glad  to  know  that  Beecham's 
Pills  quickly  cure  the  worst  forms 
of  these  headaches,  which  are  usual- 
ly an  indication  of  some  stomach 
or  liver  disorder.  Headache,  bilious- 
ness, sallow  skin,  constipation  and 
all  digestive  derangements  disappear 
after  a  few  doses  of  Beecham's  Pills.

The  indictment  alleges  that  15,000

THE  TICKING  OF  THE  CLOCK. 

New  York  Sun:  "Not  all  people," 
said  the  jeweler,  "like  the  ticking 
of  a  clock;  it  is  a  pleasant  sound  to 
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-

Mme.     SutterfSif     Ccmpietes 
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.

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,

of  the 


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

To  cheerfully  refund  the  purchase  money  on  any  article  re- 
turned immediately  and  in  good  condition. 

To  avoid  advertizing  so-called  "Sales"'  in  which  original 
prices  are  inflated  and  alleged  reductions  are  fictitious. 

To  be  sure  that  a  thing  is  so  when  we  say  it  is  so.

Pretend    1  O  IJo:  We  don't  pretend  to  give  everything  in  the  store  away  for 

half  price. 

We  don't  aspire  to  be  the  lowest  priced  store  in  the  town ; 
good  merchandise  demands  a  fair  price. 

And  we  don't  pretend  that  it  doesn't  thrill  us  with  pride  to

story  of  a  well-known  gentleman  of 
San  Francisco,  who,  charging  through 
nil  the  smoke  and  flames  and  Utter  on 
the  first  day  of  terror,  came  upon  a 
fashionable  lady  of  his  acquaintance 
trudging  along  the  middle  of  the  street 
in  her  bedroonv  slippers  with  a  window

stopped  his  automobile  to  offer  her  hia

that  the  auto  was  all  he  had  saved  out 
of  the  wreck  and  even  that  had  been

"I.  too,  have  lost  all,"  she  sighed.

It's  the  character  di-splayed  In  the 
way  a  woman  holds  her  skirt  that 
makes  the  act  of  interest  from  a 
physiological  as  well  as  from  an  artis- 
tic point.  And  It  more  members  of 
the  fair  sex  realized  the  unmistakable 
Index  to  "character"  shown  in  the 
graceful  folds  or  tight  unnatural  lines 
Into  which  they  gather  their  garments,

To  carry  skirts— at  least  the  modem 
ones  that  are  fashionable  now— grace- 
fully or  evenly  comfortably,  is  an  art 
that  must  be  practiced,  and  every  wo- 
man should  study  the  best  at  the  same 
time  the  most  bfcoming  way  to  lift 
a  circular,  gored  or  short  walking 
length    skirt. 

A    style    of   holding   a    skirt    that    Is 

suited  to  one  woman  will  often  make

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.

Although  termed  a  "common"  gull, 
this  species  is  not  more  common  than

Their  flight  is  heavy,  yet  capable  of

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

shown  is  an  excellent  one,  the  loose 
waist,  confined  at  the  belt  with  a 
wide  girdle,  concealing  angularities. 
The  skirt   is   quite  simple. 

Elaboration  of  accordlan  pleating 
may  be  done  by  adding  ruches  and 
shirrlngs,  and  these  terwi  to  make  the 
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 


Rome,  Dec. 
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

SENATOR  LA  FOLLETTE. 

His  Lectures  Always  Live  and  Full  of 
Timely  Interest. 

Many  men  in  public  life  take  to  the  lec- 
ture platform  ffor  oocasional  periods  and 
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  , 
time.  He  takes  up  any  of  the  problems  ■ 
with    which    the    nation    is    confronted 
and   speaks  cut  in   no  uncertain   tones.  ' 
It   matters   not   to   him   whom   he  hits;  i 
they    may    be    residents    of    the    same  , 
town    in    which    he    is    speaking;    they  i 
may  be  seated  on  the  same  platform,

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 
the  same  time  the 
would  not  willingly

wisdom,   giving  at 
sense  of  one  who 
throw    that    which 
or  pour  out  pearls 
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." 


IVIAGIC  WORKER  TRIES 

To  Charm  Law  Machinery  in  Suit  Over 
Auto  Accident. 

Vienna.  Dec.  25. — Witchcraft  still 
flourishes  in  Austria  and  finds  people 
ignorant  and  credulous  enough  to  pay 
money  for  its   "charms"   and   ".spells." 

A  working  woman  named  Marie 
Neblly  has  just  been  sent  to  jail   for 

two    months    for    a    svjries    of    frauds 

'J 
on  poor  people,   whom  she  made   be- 
lieve    that    she     had     magic     pow-ers. 
She   was  in   league   with   Stephen   Sto- 
fanovlcs,    a    Hungarian    shepherd,    92 

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- 

Igether     $21     for     the     benefit    of     her 

j  alleged  powers.  When  Hauck  was 
arrested  for  running  over  a  child. 
Nebily      undertook      to      bewitch      the 

[court  that  tried  him  and  to  cripple 
all    tho    witnesses. 

Instead  of  being  bewitched  tha 
court  sent  Hauck  to  jail.  Previously 
Xobily  had  sold  Mr.s.  Hauck  a  pow- 
der she  said  would  prevent  her 
husband  from  boing  extravagant,  if  it 
were    placed    in    his   soup.

There  is  no  reason  why  Christmas 
day  should  be  dull  or  uneventful  for 
those  who  are  lovers  of  outdoor  or 
Indoor  sports.  The  program  for  today 
is  lonfe  and  varied,  and  includes  almost 
every  form  of  winter  amusement. 

First  of  all,  the  snow  is  just  right 
for  snowshoeing.  There  is  plenty  of 
it,  and  the  number  of  attarctive  snow- 
shoe  trips  that  can  be  planned  for 
this  afternoon  or  this  evening,  is  un- 
limited. 

'  The  conditions  for  skiing  are  also 
just  about  perfect.  For  those  that 
like  the  excitement  of  the  jumping,

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.

it  had  been  printed.  Two  weeks  ago

Grotch  says  his  defeat  at  New  Orleans 
was  entirely  accidental,  that  he  made  a 
dive  for  Beell,  but  missed  his  mark 
and  hit  his  head  with  such  force  against 
the  hard  floor  that  he  did  not  really 
come  to  until  the  next  day.  "Barring  ac- 
cidents, I  can  tiirow  Beell  forty-nine 
times  out  of  fifty."  This  is  the  way  ho 
compares  himstdf  to  Beell,  though  he  was 
much    praise    for    tlie    little    man. 

Gotch  hopes  to  some  day  meet  Qeorga 
Hackenschmidt  for  the  world's  cham- 
pionship. The  prospect  is  not  entirely 
dark,  for  muoh  influence  is  being  brought 
to  bear   upon   the    Russian   lion. 

Gotch  is  in  good  condition,  though  ho 
is  being  troubled  some  with  water  on  the 
knee.  It  gives  him  no  pain  and  as  yet 
has  not  shown  serious  results,  but  It

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- 
ory limb.  Instead  they  are  going  to  be 
Ho""urges  '  allowed    to   hang   themselves    from    fly- 


between  the  best  of  the  local  horses  |  trie  system  and  the  lax  requirements 
on  the  new  ice  track  at  the  foot  of  i  of  the  universities  are  in  a  large  part 
Twenty-first   avenue    west.  I  responsible,  it  is  believed. 

Botli    roller    rinks    will    be    open    and  I      Mr.    Mosely   says   that    It    was   never 

furnish    music    for   the   skaters,    after-  j  his     idea     that     detailed   comparisons 

noon  and  evening.  should    be   instituted    to^lhe   detriment 

In  addition   to  the  sports   mentioned  |  of  either  the  English  or  the  American 

on    the    above    list,    there    is    coasting,  |  systems.       But    in    a    large    way    he 

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. 
Says  this  writer:  "Articles  of  ordinary 
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.'"

MANY  CASES 
AREFILED 

Five  Personal  Injury  Ac- 
tions Are  Noted  for 
Trial  Soon. 

Injured    Persons    Ask 

Damages  Ranging  From 

$3,150  to  $5,353. 


Several  personal  Injury  cases  were  filed 
with  the  clerk  of  the  district  court  yes- 
terday, with  notices  of  trial  for  the  Janu- 
ary term  of  court. 

The  largest  amount  of  damages  sued 
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 
sprains  and  bruises,  and  asks  |5,353.30 
damages. 

Johnson  is  represented  by  Andrew  Nel- 
son. 

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 
Ills  Injuries  are  permanent,  that  one  of 
his  legs  is  shorter  than  the  other,  and  he 
Is  compelled  to  get  around  with  the  use 
of  a   cane. 

Lind  is  represented  by  Andrew  Nelson. 

Emil  Johnson,  a  farm  hand,  lias  sued 
A.  C.  Jones,  the  local  coal  man,  for  $5,140 
for  Injuries  received  while  employed  on 
Mr.  Jones'  farm  near  Holyoke,  Minn. 

Johnson  claims  that  last  August  he 
Went  with  the  foreman,  a  man  named 
Nelson,  to  the  Holyoke  station,  to  un- 
load a  hay  press  from  a  flat  car.  H* 
alleges  that  Nelson  did  not  know  his 
business,  and  when  directing  the  un- 
loading process  he  used  planking  defec- 
tive and  inadequate  to  sustain  the  weight 
of  the  press.  It  is  alleged  that  the  ma- 
chinery broke  the  plank  and  fell  on 
Johnson's    leg    and    foot,    crushing    them

A    COYOTE    ROUNDUP. 

Hill  City  Republican:  We  have  been  re- 
quested to  suggest  to  the  country  people 
a  coyote  roundup.  These  animals  are  be- 
coming so  numerous  that  many  farm«irs 
are  complaining  of  their  depredations  in 
their  poultry   flocks. 

One  coyotte  in  a  year's  time  will  de- 
stroy many  dollars  worth  of  property 
and  the'  bounty  should  be  kept  up  suf- 
ficiently higli  to  justify  men  taking  tho 
time  to  kill  them  in  the  spring.  We 
presume  the  best  way  to  handle  a  round- 
up would  be  fur  several  to  get  together 
and  select  a  leader  and  appoint  a  place 
of  meeting  uj>on  a  certain  da.v  and  then 
take  in  as  much  territory  as  the  num- 
ber   of    participants    would    justify.

ing  iiiekory  rings  and  go  througii  the 
motions  of  swimming  in  midair. 

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.

as  a  hatch  tender,  that  the  cable  slipped 
off  a  drum  in  the  top-rigging  of  the  dock 
where  he  was  turning  a  geaiing  with  his 
left  hand,  and  he  attemptt  d  to  put  the

alleged  that  while  he  was  so  employed 
the  machinery  was  started  through  th« 
carelessness  or  negligence  of  the  engineer, 
that  the  cable  suddenly  became  taut,  th« 
crank  of  the  gearing  flew  back  and  struck 
his  left  arm  with  sufficient  force  to  break

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. 
Its  httle  blue  eyee  gazed  wonderingly  at

Its    surroundlng.s,    the      lids      occasionally

counter  to  make  Inquiries  concerning 
tickets  from  Duluth  to  Marquette.  Mich. 
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- 
ing, everybody  smiling  and  happy,  with 
oui.<n.'s  under  their  arms  that  denoted  a 
merry  Christmas  for  friends  and  rel- 
atives. A  feeling  of  good  fellowship  and 
gpou  cheer  were  in  tlie  air,  and  the  pco- 
P'^  f"  the  .street  seemed  to  feel  it. 

All  this  found  no  reflection  in  the  tired

ine  little  mite  of  humanity  and  its  father, 
and  entered  Into  conversation  with  him. 
He  was  willing  ehoui?h  to  talk,  and  the 
railroad  man  formed  a  liking  for  him  at 
^nce.  The  individual  on  the  bench  was  a 
gin,  he  said  and  then  went  on  to  tell 
how  old  she  wa.s,  and  other  little  things 
th"t  might  be  and  were  of  Interest  to  a 
fellow    father. 

•'Going  horfio  for  Clirlstma-sW  Mr.  Per- 
rin    nnally   asked. 

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 
two  days  and  two  nights,  without  stop, 
and  the  kid.  used  to  her  mother's  care, 
got  pretty  tired.  My  wife  died  three  days 
ago,  and  we  are  tukng  the  corpse  back 
to  the  old  home  in  Marquette,  where  her 
father  and  mother  are  waiting  for  us." 

Then  he  picked  up  his  tickets,  the 
change  and  the  sleeping  child,  and  strode 
Into  the  lobby  of  the  Spalding.

"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 
higher  up  in  letting  a  freight  In  on  the 
main  line  when  it  should  be  on  a  siding. 
Some  bad  accidents  also  result'  from  pas- 
senger trains  runnin,?  Into  freight  cars 
which  are  supposed  t4)  be  on  sidings,  and 
in  yards  where  there  ie  a  lot  of  switch- 
ing done. 

"I  do  not  suppose  that  railroads  will 
ever  become  absolutely  accident  proof, 
but  causing  the  pas.stnger  trains  and  the 
freight  trains  to  use  entirely  different 
•tracks  would  cut  down  the  number  01 
accidents  about  90  per  cent.  I  think  this 
will  be  done  in  time,  but  It  Is  sure  to  be 
a  good  many  yewrs  before  the  improve- 
ment is  Inauguarated  all  over  the  coun- 
try, although  in  somr-  parts  of  the  East 
the  system  is  already  in  vogue.  The 
scheme  is  a  good  one  for  the  railroads, 
for  It  saves  them  both  time  and  money. , 
where  there  Is  business  enough,  and  at 
the  rate  the  country  is  developing  there 
will  be  business  enough  from  coast  to 
coast  in   a   few  de'cac;es. 

"There  arc  times  wlien  I  almost  believe 
It  would  be  the  proper  thing  for  the 
government  to  force  the  roads  to  have 
separate  tracks  for  their  passenger 
trains.  Human  life  should  be  .saved  at 
any  cost.  If  there  Avere  a  law  making 
it  compulsory  for  a  road  to  pay,  say 
$30,00  for  every  person  killed  in  an  acci- 
dent which  could  have  been  prevented 
had  the  proper  precautions  been  taken, 
you  would  notice  a  great  falling  off  in 
the  number  of  smash ups. 

"The  railroad  officials  in  this  country 
know  that  their  trains  are  operated  In  a 
dangerous  manner,  dangerous  because 
of  the  fact  that  the  safety  of  the  passen- 
gers and  trainmen  depend  upon  so  many 
little  things,  and  yet  the  American  gain- 
bllng  spirit  impels  them  to  allow  affairs 
to  run  along  in  the  j^ame  old  way  they 
trusting  to  luck  that  it  will  be  some  oth- 
er road  and  not  their  own  that  klUa 
the  next  batch  of  people.  It  is  a  game 
of  chance  all  the  way  through,  and  the 
only   wonder  Is    that    there   are   not   more 

disastrous  wrecks."

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."

Shed   a    tear   for   Mr.    Croesus, 

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.

Xavlgatlon  On  the  Great  I.rfikes. 

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 
week  were  published  the  list  of  the  sea-  1  steadfast  effort  hundreds  of  black  and 
son's  fatalities  and  now  appears  the  hstL-.Qjored  men  are  making  today  to  live 
of  the  lost  and  damaged  vessels.  In  the  blamelessly  honorably  and  patiently, 
number  of  casualties  Lake  Erie  retains  netting  for  themselves  what  scraps  of  1 
its    bad    eminence,    and.    as   is   usual   and ,  "gflnement.    learning    and    beauty    they 


the  community.  Stronger  things  have 
been  said  more  strongly,  and  without  ex- 
citing anybody,  but  not  by  theorists  with 
power  of  administration  In  possession, 
and  power  of  legislation  in  prospect,  or 
at  least  power  of  influencing  legislation. 
It  must  be  because  they  think  something 
may  come  of  the  agitation  that  .so  many 
with  qualilii"  ti.iiis  t:trl\able  from  un- 
counted millions  are  seeking  the  publio 
ear  In  rivalry  with  our  chief  magistrate. 


Too    Polite. 

Pittsburg  Press:  A  husband  was  be-

by   his   wife   for  <ruelty. 

"I  understand,  sir."  said  the  judge, 
addressing  the  husband,  "that  one  of 
the  Indignities  you  h.-ive  showered  upon 
your  wife  Is  that  you  have  not  spoken 
to  her  for  three  years.     Is  that  so." 

"It  Is,  your  honor."  quickly  answered 
the    husband. 

"Well,  sir,"  thundered  the  judge,  "why 
didn't  you  speak  to  her,  may  I  ask?" 

"Simply,"  replied  the  husband,  "be- 
c.iusc  I  didn't  want  to  Interrupt  her."

natural,  the  old  vessels  are  the  heaviest 
sufferers.  These  annual  lake  clearances 
have  one  satisfactory  result,  the  question

THE  DULUTH  EVENING  HERALD:     TUESDAY.    DECEMBER    25,    1906. 


GRUB  IS  THE 
VER\^BEST 

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."

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:

"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 
bv  the  treasurer  "on  the  nail,"  and  then 
the  jovial  chef  fhe  is;  now  in  the  prime 
of  life)  charters  a  liansom  and  robs 
home  to  his  comfort  ible  apartments,  a 
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 
of  the  Thames,  protected  by  special 
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.

TO  OUST  JUNG  PETER. 

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. 


A  Holiday  Rate. 

The    Duluth,    Missabe    &    Northern

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.

St.  Paul  Die. 

Bt.  Paul,  Dec.  25.— Edward  H.  Judson. 
aped  64,  a  prominent  pioneer  of  St.  Paul, 
died  last  night  at  the  City  hospital  fol- 
lowing an  operation  for  intestinal  trouble. 
Hi.i  death  was  folowed  by  that  of  Dr. 
Emanuel  L.  He.ss,  aged  61  years,  who 
was  for  eleven  year?  rat'bi  of  Mount 
Zlon  temple.  Early  this  morning  Thomas 
Cochran,  aged  t;3  years,  another  pioneer 
resident  and  prominent  business  man, 
died  quite  suddenly  after  a  brief  illness. 

The  fourth  death  among  the  pioneer 
residents  was  reported  from  St.  Luke's 
hospital  today  when  the  end  came  to  Dr. 
Li.  W.  Babcock,  aged  66  years.  Dr.  Bab-

committee  of  the  South  Dakota  Travel- 
ing Men's  association  was  held  here 
Sunday  night  and  received  the  report  of 
the  Western  Passenger  Agents'  associa- 
tion in  response  to  a  request  of  a  2- 
cent  flat  rate.  The  association  agreed 
to  make  the  rate  $50  for  a  $2,000-mile 
book  and  a  refund  of  $9.50.  The  execu- 
tive committee  declined  to  accept  the 
offer  and  arrangements  were  made  at 
the  meeting  to  take  the  matter  before 
the  state  legislature  for  the  passage 
of  a  law  for  a  2-cent  flat  rate. 


Yankton«-The  city  was  excited  over  a 
report  that  Frank  Benker,  who  had 
been  Injured  in  a  fight  with  Charlie 
Taylor,  had  died  of  his  injuries  at  his 
home  in  Aten,  acrja^s  the  river.  Taylor 
was  promptly  arrested  and  placed  under 
$1,000  bonds.  Later  it  developed  that 
Benker  was  not  much  Injured  and 
would  bo  back  in  a  day  or  two,  and 
Taylor  was  released. 


Word  has  reached  here  from  Oregon 
of  the  death  of  tlie  venerable  Father 
D.  B.  Nichols,  for  year.s  a  prominent

in   this  county. 

Armour— John  G.  Liebschwager,  living 
northwest  of  Armour  some  miles,  was 
sentenced  about  two  years  ago  to  a 
term  in  the  penitentiary  for  incest.  In 
the  meantime  his  wife  secured  a  di- 
vorce. FViishing  the  term  in  the  peni- 
tentiary, Lieb.schwager  hastened  home, 
and  he  and  his  former  wife  at  once 
drove  to  Armour,  where  a  license  to 
wed  was  procured  and  the  two  were 
again  united. 

Canton— Tony  Kraaynebrink,  a  Hol- 
lander, aged  26,  is  dead  from  injuries 
received  in  a  runaway  accident.  Kraa- 
ynebrink wivs  hauling  corn  from  the 
field  to  the  crib,  when  his  team  started 
to  run.  He  ran  after  them  and  jump- 
ed upon  the  end  of  the  wagon  in  an 
effort  to  secure  the  lines.  He  fell  on 
the  endboard  in  such  a  way  as  to  crush 
his  stomach.  Only  three  months  ago, 
his  sweetheart  came  from  Holland  and 
was  married  to  the  young  man,  who 
came  on  ahead  to  make  a  home  for 
her.

Police  Court  Prisoners 

Christmas  Present. 

Judge  Windom  handed  out  Christmas 
presents  of  suspended  sentences  to  the 
municipal  court  prisoners  this  morning. 

Ten  drunks  were  in  line  for  sentence, 
and  all  entered  pleas  of  guilty.  The  court 
imposed  uniform  sentences  of  $1  and 
costs,  and  then  just  as  they  were  about 
to  leave  the  court  room  he  suspended  all 
of  their  fines,  and  allowed  the  prisoners 
their  freedom  for  the  holiday.

several  of  his  teeth. 


A   Home   Made   Happy   by   Cliamber- 
lain's   Cough    Kemedy. 

About  two  months  ago  our  baby 
girl  had  measles  which  settled  on  her 
lungs  and  at  last  resulted  l:i  a  severe 
attack  of  bronchitis.  We  had  two 
doctors  but  no  relief  was  obtained. 
Everybody  thought  she  would  die.  I 
went  to  eight  different  stores  to  find  a 
certain  remedy  which  had  been  recom- 
mended to  me  and  failed  to  get  it, 
when  one  of  the  storekeepers  insisted 
that  I  try  Chamberlain's  Cough  Rem- 
edy. I  did  so  and  our  baby  is  alive 
and  well  today. — GEORGE  W.

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 
for  the  hire  of  vessels  which  they  havo 
commandeered   for   their  expeditions.

THE  DAKOTAS 

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."

been  reported  as  being  the  real  child

as  Mrs  Anna  De  Raylan  has  stated,

The  idea  of  posing  as  a  man  grew 
gradually  with  the  De  Raylan  girl. 
Trouble  with  ner  parents  over  a  revo-

at  this  it  seems  almost  impossible

Lincoln.  Neb.,  Dec.  25.— Graduate  Man- 
ager F2ager  has  added  another  "big  nine" 
football  game  to  Nebraska's  schedule  for 
the  season  of  1907.  He  has  announced 
the  final  cxjncluslon  of  negotiations  with 
the  University  of  Wisconsin  tor  a  grame

The    addition    of    the    Wisconsin    game 

to    Nebraska's    schedule      completes      the 

corn    buskers'    away-from-home   bookings,

hard  game  on  a  foreign  gridiron.  Ihe 
only  possible  exception  la  a  contest  with 
Cieighton  university  in  Omaha.  The  lat- 
ter school,  however,  Is  of  secondary  rank 
in  football  and,  at  the  best,  can  only 
hcpe  to  furnish  the  comhuskers  with 
some   lively   practice.     In    case   Creighton 


offers  satisfactory  financial  inducements, 
the  Omaha  Catholics  may  be  given  the 
opportunity  to  entertain  the  state  insti- 
tuuon,  but  it  is  quite  certain,  however, 
that  Manager  Eager  will  go  no  further. 
The  efforts  of  the  Nebraska  manager 
will  now  be  directed  toward  hooking  his 
games  for  Nebraska  field.  He  is  now 
diligently  endeavoring  to  induce  a  "big 
nine"  school  to  send  its  football  team  to 
Lincoln,  and  the  negotiations  to  date 
point    to    a  successful   termination   of    his 


old  "sweetheart."

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.

New  York,  Dec.  26. — New 
York  celebrated  the  mo.st  boun- 
teous Christmas  It  has  had  in 
many  years.  It  Is  seldom  that 
New  York  does  not  turn  out  its 
myriads  of  thousands  on  a  holi- 
day to  tax  the  tran.sportation 
_  lines,  but  yesterday  it  seemed 
©  that  the  city  stayed' at  home  for 
&  its  dinners  and  other  Christmas 
pleasures.  To  those  who  had 
not  homes  and  a  dinner,  a  feast 
was  provided  by  the  many  char- 
itable societies  and  no  one  had 
excuse  for  going  hungry.  Thirty- 
seven  thousand  of  the  city's  poor 
shared  in  the  distribution  of 
Christmas  dinners  by  the  Salva- 
tion Army,  Timothy  D.  Sullivan 
and  the  Bowery  Mission.

I  SCARCITY  OF  LABOR  BOTHERS 
I         THE  RAILROADS  IN  MEXICO. 

Mexico  City,  Dec.  26. — The 
scarcity  of  labor  is  bothering  the 
railroads  as  well  as  other  enter- 
prises Just  at  present.  It  is  re-

trict, adjacent  to  Torreon,  labor 
Is  so  scarce  that  as  high  as  $4  a 
day  is  offered  to  cotton  pickers, 
^  and  that  even  at  that  price  it  Is 
^  difficult  to  secure  all  the  labor 
%  necessary  to  pick  the  crops.  The 
^  crops  in  that  district  are  report- 
©  ed  to  be  made  and  unusually 
•S  heavy,  but  the  lack  of  labor  pre- 
M  vents  the  work  of  securing  the

Claims  Aggregate  $113,' 
486 — January  Calen- 
dar Will  be  Lengthy. 


The  January  term  of  the  district 
court  bids  fair  to  be  a  record  breaker 
in  the  way  of  personal  injury  cases 
for  trial.  Besides  the  large  number  of 
cases  previously  noted  for  trial  next 
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,

ages for  the  benefit  of  a  father  and 
mother   of    the   decedent    in    Finland.

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

in  the  St.  Clair  mine  at  Chisholm,

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. 


FRENCH  SENATE  CERTAIN 
TO  PASS  NEW  CHURCH  ACT. 


Paris,  Dec.  26.— Against  the  solid  op- 
position of  the  Right,  the  senate,  by 
183  to  80  votes,  today  referred  the  sup- 
plementary church  and  state  separation 
bill  to  the  committee  on  the  separation 
of  church  and  state.  The  vote  is  con- 
sidered to  have  been  a  test  and  as 
insuring  the  passage  of  the  measure  by 
a  big  majority.

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 
and  Mrs.  Prescott  of  Bovey  were  pres- 
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.

RAISE  IN  WAGES  COMES

notified  that  they  will  receive  an 
increase  of  10  per  cent  with  the  be- 
ginning of  the  New  Year.  It  comes 
as  a  surprise  to  the  men.  as  the 
Blast  Workers'  union  asked  the  em- 
ployers for  an  increase  in  wages  a 
few  months  ago,  but  it  wa^  refused 
at  that   time.

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

The  'S.  R.  O.'  £i»?n  was  taken  down 
from  the  shelf  In  ite  Lyceum  box  office 
and  dusted  off  last   evening,  when   Du- 

luth's  own  Adelaide  Thurston  canio 
home  for  Christmafi. 

The  management  went  just  as  far  as 
safety  would  permit,  in  the  line  of 
placing  ciiairs  arotnd  the  front  of  the 
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 
Sylvester,  Miss  Thvrsion's  leading  man. 
Is  the  unfortunate  possessor  of  a  melo- 
dramatic voice  antl  manner,  wliich  he 
finds  trouble  in  forgetting.  Leo  Hard- 
man  deseres  very  favorable  mention  for 
his  character  work  in  the  role  of  Ben 
Cooke,  the  old  sailor,  and  Jessie 
Church  proves  a  very  good  assistant  to 
him  in  tiie  dual   "comedy  relief..' 


The  GARMENT  CLEARANCE 
A  HUGE  SUCCESS! 

Hundreds  of  women  here  today  and  nearly  every  one  went  away  a

clean-up  stocks  we  do  it  right,  and  as  thoroly  as  we  know  how,  giving  the

to  The  Herald.)— The  Oliver  Iron  Min-

be  able  to  boast  of  a  newspaper. 
Rowe  McCamus,  publisher  of  the 
Brookston  Herald,  was  in  this  village 
some  ten  days  ago,  and  after  tho- 
roughly canvassing  the  field,  decided 
to  establish  an  up-to-dato  newspaper 
and  Job  printing  plant.  The  paper 
is  to  be  named  the  Coleraine  Record, 
and  the  citizens  are  very  enthusias- 
tic over  the  possibility  of  Mr.  Mc- 
Camus locating  here.  He  is  regarded 
as  a  newspaper  man  of  ability,  and 
will  no  doubt  do  well  in  this  field, 
which   is  large  and  sure   to  grow.

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- 
erentzen  of  Copenhagen,  and  Peter 
and  Henry  Loerentzen  of  Nest  Bend. 
She  bequeaths  considerable  jewelry  to 
her  sister.  Edwarine  Neilsen.  The  will 
indicates  that  the  unfortunate  woman 
had  passed  through  the  San  Francisco 
disaster  and  that  the  ordeal  had  affect- 
ed her   mind.

Of  Closing  of  a  Church  Under  the  French

Paris,  Dec.  2t>.— The  first  Instance  of 
the  closing  of  a  church  under  the 
separation  law  has  occurred  at  Azay 
Surlndre,  where  the  mayor  In  writing 

ordered  fhe  cure  to  leave  both  the 
presbytery  and  the  church  edifice 
which,  he  declared,  the  communal 
authorities  would  take  over  In  pur- 
suance of  the  law.  The  cure  oonse^ 
quontly  quitted  the  edifice  which  was

of  the  mayor's  action  is  arousing  con- 
siderable  controversy.

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 
street,    Jersey    City.

Well,  Christmas  has  come  and  gone 
and  Santa  Claus  has  retired  to  his 
frozen  fastness  in  the  Far  North  to 
await  the  coming  of  another  twenty- 
fifth   day  of  December. 

The  day  was  certainly  a  dandy  in 
Duluth.  The  sun  was  shining  from 
early  morning  until  late  in  the 
afternoon  and  the  weather  was  just 
cold  enough  to  make  it  exhllerating 
to  be  out  of  doors,  and  most  every- 
body was  out  doors  part  of  the 
day. 

The  services  held  In  the  churches 
in  the  morning  were  well  attended 
and  the  theaters  and  other  places 
of  amusement  attracted  large  crowds 
In    the    afternoon    and    evening. 

Everyone  was  wearing  the  smile 
that  won't  come  off.  Merchants  en- 
joyed  their   Christmas   with   the   fond

were  happy  because 

—and  because  it  was 


recollection  of  a 
trade  and  others 
times  were  good- 
Christmas. 

Many  strangers  were  In  the  city, 
from  the  range  towns  and  other 
nearby  places  and  most  of  them 
spent  a  joyous  d^y  with  friends  or 
relatives. 

The  city  lock-up  was  devoid  of 
prisoners,  ten  drunks  who  were  cor- 
raled  the  night  before  having  been 
released  with  very  slight  fines.  The 
inmates  of  the  county  jail  and  other 
places  for  the  unfortunate,  as  well 
as  the  hospitals,  were  not  allowed  to 
forget  that  it  was  Christmas,  how- 
ever. 

Special  dinners  and  all  of  that  sort 
of  thing  were  the  rule.  At  the  jail, 
roast  duck  with  sweet  potato  stufflng, 
baked  apples,  cranberry  sauce  and 
other  delicacies  were  the  features  of 
an  elaborate  menu,  while  at  the 
county  poor  farm,  sixty-five  paupers 
.sat  down  to  a  bountiful  holiday 
repast. 

At  the  hospitals,  all  those  who 
were  permitted  to  do  so  by  physi- 
cians, partook  of  roast  turkey  and 
the  substantial  meal  that  should  be 
Invariably  served  with  that  foul,  and 
the  patients  were  cheered  as  much 
as  possible.  Special  chapel  service 
was  lield  at  St.  Mary's  in  tho  morn- 
ing. At  St.  Luke's,  a  Christmas 
tree  was  held  for  the  nur-ses,  who 
exchanged  gifts  and  had  a  good 
time. 

At^the  Children's  home,  the  young- 
sters who  are  cared  for  there  were 
given  a  big  turkey  dinner  and  given 
full  permission  to  eat  as  much  as 
they  liked.  They  did.  Monday  af- 
ternoon, they  enjoyed  a  Christmas 
tree  and  gave  a  program  of  appro- 
priate exercises.  llev.  Mr.  Read, 
assi-stant  rector  of  St.  Paul's  church, 
spoke  to  them.  Tomorrow  afternoon, 
the  matron  is  to  give  the  little  folks 
a  sleigh  ride. 

At  St.  James'  Catholic  orphanage, 
the  children  sat  down  to  a  big 
feast  ye.sterday  noon  and  the  Yule- 
tide  observance  included,  of  course, 
a  Christmas  tree. 

Two  hundred  baskets,  containing 
appropriate  food  for  families,  were 
distributed  among  the  poor  by  the 
Salvation  Army,  under  the  direction 
of   Staff   Captain   Watt.

ye.sterday,  it  was  because  they  did 
not  make   their  wants  known.

ing Kentucky  Miners 
and  Guards.

here  with  deputies  and  late  yesterday

NEGRO  BOY  IS 
KILLED  BY  AUTO 

Run  Down  by   Joseph 

Lcltcr's    60-Horsc 

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 
I  listening  to  the  facts  of  the  ca.se, 
I  expressed     himself    as    being    willing 


to    admit    Raymond    to

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.

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

were  denied. 

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« 
and  Grace,  went  abroad,  where  Alice 
met  and  soon  afterward  married  Sam- 
uel Sloan  Chauncey,  a  well-known 
millionaire  of  Brooklyn. 

Mr.  Chauncey  died  a  few  years  ago. 
leaving  his  wife  a  hand-some  fortune.

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."

Building  operations  for  the  year  1906 
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- 
ing in  the  old  year,  there  are  not  likely 
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.

This  is  the  season  of  the  "half-price"  clean-up  sales — so  volubly  flaunted  as  "original"'  by  some  stores. 
We  offered  three  weeks  ago  ALL  our  tailored  suits  at  half-price,  when  others  were  giving  you  choice 
of  a  "hundred  or  so,"  or  a  "majority" — or  other  indefinite  quantities. Now  we  go  'way  below  half,  while 
others  are  crying  "Exactly  Half"  and  trying  to  make  it  appear  an  interesting  offer.

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.

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

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.

Christmas  Is  over  with,  and  the  local 
hotel  managers  are  rather  glad  of  It. 
Christmas  week  is  a  time  of  small  busi- 
ness and  small  profit,  with  the  worry  of 
a  special  "feed"'^  for  the  big  day.  Busi- 
ness will  not  go  back  to  normal  until 
after  the  first  of  the  year  but  Christmas 
day  itself  is  about  the  dullest  of  the  year. 
The  dinners  served  In  the  Dulth  hotels 
were  feasts  fit  for  the  gods,  and  the 
menu  cards  furnished  by  the  McKay,  St. 
Louis,  Lenox  and  Spaldiag  hotels  wei-e 
works  of  art.  The  McKay  surpassed  any 
of  its  previous  efforts  in  this  line,  and 
all  four  had  especially  beautiful  cards.

Youth's  Companion:  A  group  of  forty 
representative  men  of  Chicago  met  re- 
cently at  a  dinner  to  discuss  plans  for 
the  betterment  of  their  city.  There  was 
not  one  of  them— business  or  profes- 
sional man— who  had  not  won  the  re- 
gard of  his  townsmen  by  his  unofficial 
sei-vice.  With  them  were  a  number  of 
men  from  the  East. 

"What  a  wonderful  thing  It  is  for  a 
city,"  said  one  of  the  Eastern  men  to 
a  friend,  "to  have  forty  men  of  such 
caliber  and  power  devoted  to  Its  serv-

North  Branch  Review:  A  distinguished

several  thousand  years  ago. 

Ortonvllle  Herald-Star:  Apparently  the

Many  an  overfed  individual  realizes  this  morning  that 
good  digestion  does  not  wait  upon  too  much  appetite. 

«      *      * 

It  was  as  near  a  perfect  Christmas,  taking  it  all 
around  and  considering  weather  and  general  prosperity 

and  all,  as  anybody  ever  saw. 

m       *       * 

One  of  the  after-incidents  of  the  festive  Christmas 
season  is  the  spectacle  of  pater  familias  gloomily  view- 
ing a  much  depleted  pocketbook  and  wondering  where 
he  is  going  to  fill  it  again  in  time  to  meet  the  monthly 
bills  on  the  firstk 


They  Would  Not  lie  Missed. 

St.  Louis  Globe-Demoorat:  A  sugges- 
tion in  the  president's  I'anama  message 
of  the  lack  of  amusements  on  the  isth- 
mus should  not  be  unheeded  by  the 
amusement  managers.  The  theatrical 
trust  has  a  number  of  attractions  on 
the  road  this  season  which  would  not 
be  sorely  missed  anyivhere  in  tho 
United  States  If  they  should  be  sent 
down  to  fill  this  long-felt  want. 

"Tropic  Switzerland." 

St  Louis  Globe-Democrat:  After  cross- 
ing Porto  Rico  twice  the  president  calls 
it  "a  tropic  Switzerland"  a  name  likely 
to  stick  and  be  worth  much  to  the  is- 
land.   ^^^^^

hov/  much  finer  a  thing  If  one  could  go 
into  the  street  and  call  in  forty  young 
men  and  find  them  as  active,  as  pur- 
poseful, as  determined  to  help  their 
community    on   the    road   of   progress.' 

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 
their  time  to  thinking,  not  of  personal, 
but  of  community  affairs.  They  did 
what  it  should  be  the  duty  of  every 
man  to  do— devoted  a  part  of  every  day 
consciously  and  directly  to  logical 
planning  for  the  benefit  of  their  fel- 
lows. 

Such  practical  suggestions  as  occur- 
red to  them  they  passed  on  to  others, 
and  thus  their  conversation  became, 
not  a  mere  interchange  of  pleasantry 
and  repartee,  init  a  mutually  beneficial 
Interchange  of  Ideas  on  Important  af- 
fairs, which  left  richer  all  who  joined 
In  it. 

Every  village  and  city  needs  such 
help  from  every  citizen.  There  are 
great  public  services  to  be  accompllsh- 
e-i  through  private  organization  and 
personal  effort. 

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. 

\iTien  Women  Wear  'Em. 

New  York  Herald:  An  advocate  of 
dress  reform  says  that  If  women  wore 
trousers  husbands  would  be  relieved  of 
big  dressmaking  bills.  And,  of  course, 
the  early  riser  in  our  happy  homes 
would  wear  the  best  clothing.

St.  Paul  and  elsewhere,  and  after  sev- 
eral weeks  of  a  rough  and  tumble 
scramble,  decided  that  a  man  of  the  name 
of  Johnosn  should  be  speaker  of  the 
legislature.  Whether  tho  legislature  will 
be  inclined  to  take  that  view  of  the  mat- 
ter remains'  to  be  seen. 

Northfleld  News:  Scientists  have  dis- 
covered that  Mars  is  inhabited;  that  tho 
residents  of  that  planet  have  factories, 
canals,  steamships  and  almost  every- 
thing a  well-regrulated  country  should 
have.  Let  the  scientists  look  again  and 
tell  us  If  the  railroads  and  trusts  own

Hibblng  Tribune:  Drainage  is  a  vital 
need  to  Northern  Minnesota,  to  the  whole 
state.  St.  Louis  county  is  glad  to  help 
It  on.  Its  biggest  city  has  been  a  power- 
ful Influence  In  the  drainage  agitation  of 
the  past  few  months.  Its  newspapers  have 
never  failed  to  explain  and  emphasize  its 
Importance.  Its  particularly  able  delega- 
tion of  nine  members  in  the  state  legis- 
lature is  a  unit  for  a  systematic  and 
comprehensive  drainage  policy.  If  any 
other  county  In  Minnesota  Is  doing  more 
to  help  It  on,  it  is  doing  It  strictly  sub 
rosa.

Just  Like  Duluth. 

They  took  a  little  gravel 

And  they  took  a  little  tar 
With     various  ingredients 

Imported  from  afar. 
They  hammered  it  and  rolled  It 

And  when   they  went   away 
They  said  they  had  a  pavement 

That  would  last  for  many  a  day. 

But  they  came  with  picks  and  smote  tl 

To  lay  a  water  main; 
And  then  they  called  the  workmen 

To   put   it   back   again. 
To  run  a  railway  cable  , 

They  took  it  up  some  more; 
And  then  they  put  It  back  again 

Just  where  it  was  before.  ^ 

They  took  It  up  for  conduits 

to  run  the  telephone; 
And  then  they  put  it  back  again 

As  hard  as  any  stone. 
They  took  It  up  for  wires 

To  feed  the  'lectrlc  light. 
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^„^„„

Some  women  look  as  if  they  had  put  on

It's  sometimes  as  difficult  to  be  right

Some  folks  are  so  fond  of  the  charity 
that  begins  at  home  that  they  keep  it 
there.

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:

1  the  scene  of  the  accident  until  nearly  10 
!  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 
19.6  per  cen';  coarB's  grain,  26.6  per  cent, 
Mid  flax,  2«.8  i>er  cent.  The»e  reductions 
K^partlcular  wUl  be  of  benolit  to  the

LIMITED  ]N_A  WRECK. 

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-

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.

said  today  that  he  had  not  yet  re-

street  car  riot  at  Leavenworth,  Kas,, 
Monday  night,  in  which  members  of 
the  Ninth  cavalry  figured.  '"That  ap- 
pears to  be  a  matter  for  the  police," 
wa«  all   the  comment  he  would  make.

The  12  o'clock  lid  Is  e-vldently  meant 
to  be  kept  on,  and  attempts  to  tilt 
It  are  being  summarily  handled  by  the 
police  department. 

The  Lake  avenue  district  i»  the  one 
that  promises  the  most  trouble,  and 
the  saloonkeepers  Ir  that  locality  are 
chafing  under  the  ne^  regulations. 
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 
open  after  hours.  Judge  Wlndom  Im-. 
poaed  a  flna  of  $30  and  costs  in  each 
case. 

This  makes  a  total  of  three  arrests, 
and  $90  collected  Ih  fines,  slnoo  the 
new  order  went  Into  effect  sevaral 
weeks  ago,  and  It  is  evidently  the 
policy  of  the  administration  to  enforoe

LAWLESS  BANDS

American  Troops  in  San- 
ta Clara  Province  Are 
Reinforced 

"Washington.  Dec.  26. — Secretary  Taft 
has    received    advices    from    Governor 
Magoon  at  Havana  stating  that  a  mor» 
!  or  less  unsettled  state  of  affairs  exists 
I  in  certain  parts  of  Cuba  and  that  in 
Santa    Clara    province,    some    lawless 
i  bands  are     operating     and      pillaging. 
Therefore   at    the   governor's   Instance, 
Gen.    Bell    has   ordered    a   considerable 
re-enforcement  of  the  garrison  of  Am- 
erican troops  In  that  province. 

For  the  first  time  since  the  second 
occupation  of  the  island  by  the  Am- 
ericans, it  has  become  necessary  for 
the  troops  to  undertake  themselves  the 
suppression  of  these  disorders  instead 
of  leaving  this  task  to  the  native 
Cuban  rulers,  which  in  some  quarters 
Is  regarded  as  an  Indication  of  the 
i  Inability  of  the  Cuban  civil  authoritlee 
'  permanently  to  maintain  i>eace  In  the 
Island.

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 
George  Washington  and  the  cherry 
tree  incident.

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. 
Cuyahoga  county  really  paid  her 
auditor  last  year  for  his  .services 
more  than  Ohio  gave  to  all  her 
state  officials,  elective  and  ap- 
pointive.

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.

She  Learned  in  a  Dream  Hoars  Before 
He  Was  KiHed. 

Columbus,  Ind.,  Dec.  26.— Last 
Thursday  night  Mrs.  Lou  Gllck  of  this 
city,  dreamed  that  her  brother.  Dr. 
Elijah  T.  Fogel,  had  been  run  down 
by  a  street  car  at  Elwood.  Ind.,  and 
fatally  injured.  The  next  day  she  left 
to  spend  the  holidays,  but  the  dream 
preyed  upon  her  mincl  to  such  an  ex- 
tent that  .she  stopped  at  Elwood  to  as- 
certain if  all  was  well  with  her 
brother.  She  found  that  he  had  been 
run  down  by  a  streei:  car  30  minutes 
before  her  arrival  anci  fatally  Injured. 
Dr.  Fogel,  who  was  also  a  Methodist 
preacher,  was  a  graduate  of  the  Ec- 
lectic School  of  Medicine  of  Cincinnati.

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.

they    were    surely    mistaken,    that   the  I     Named  Defendant: 


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. 

Then,  with  all  possible  haste,  Mr. 
Weightly  hurried  to  the  barn  for  a 
rope,  came  quickly  back  with  it,  and 
with  his  heart  full  of  gratitude  that

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

New  York.  Dec.  26. -With  the  big 
race  over  and  the  track  turned  into 
kindling  wood  the  New  York  public 
still  has  difficulty  in  getting  the  six- 
day  contest  out  of  Its  system.  It  was 
thoroughly  thrashed  out  in  every  re- 
sort along  Broadway  this  week. 

To   sum    the    whole   thing   up    this 
certain: 

There  will  be  a  six-day  race  next 
year 


The  edioT  of  the

deatiy        thinks 
hockey    is    in    need    of 
debrulalization.   Hockey 
as  she  Is  played  ia  the 
Copper   country   is   cer- 
tainly no  game  for  chil- 
dren.      If    the    referees 
give      the      professional 
players  any  rope  at  all  in  tlie  matter 
of    cross    checking    and    slashing,    ine 
games  become  little  better  than   mas- 
sacres and  they  make  a  football  con- 
test look  like  a  game  of  parlor  tennis. 
Here  is  what  the  editor  in  question 
has  to   say   of  the   recent   incident   at 
Houghton  when  the  Soo  team  left  the 
ice: 

"The  Soo  hockey  team  left  the  ice 
in  the  Copper  country  game  of  a  few 
evenings  ago  because  the  referee  in- 
sisted that  a  certain  player  of  their 
team  should  leave  the  ice  for  trip- 
ping. That  was  a  very  slight  reason 
for  sending  a  man  out  of  the  game.

The  police 
t  a  tors. 

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.

GIGANTIC  OIL  TRUST. 

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

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-

scribed for  by  a  French  syndicate, 
and  the  second,  pusttively  identified 
this  synidcate  as  the  Rothschilds. 
The  Slt-arna  Romana  has  its  head-

sports. 

I  The  new  hill  of  the  Duluth  Ski  club 
was  crowded  ail  afternoon  and  eve- 
!  ning.  Skiing  and  snowshoe  parties 
\  were  numerous,  and  it  was  almost  im- 
j  possible  to  secure  a  horse  and  cutter 
I  at  any  of  the  liveries  during  the  day. 
I  The  largest  crowd  that  ever  witness- 
I  ed  a  racing  matinee  on  the  ice,  as- 
sembled at  the  new  track  at  the  foot 
of  Twenty-first  avenue  west.  About 
twenty  pacers  and  trotters  were  on 
hand,  and  several  interesting  brushes 
took  place,  although  no  regular  pro- 
gram was  pulled  off. 

Among  the  well  known  pacers  that 
appeared  upon  the  course  were-:  Alice. 
Buelah  rimith.  Lady  Lochinvar,  Prince, 
Meter,  Jr.,  Kid,  John  R.,  Benny  Seatuf 
and  C.  R.  Rust's  green  pacer.  Among 
the  trotters  were  Maud  P..  Kittle  Birch-: 
wood,    Mabel    C,    and    Pearl    W. 


the  spectators  started  for  the  doors. 
There  was  a  general  scurrying  for 
shelter,  and  an  overturning  of 
chairs.  Sergeant  Kenna,  however, 
stopped  the  panic  by  announcing 
that  no  arrests  werij  to  be  made, 
but  that  the  fight  had  to  stop. 
Patrolman  Cater  wasi  left  to  guard 
the  room  and  see  that  no  attempt 
was  made  to  pull  off  the  mill  in 
spite  of  the  officers'  '  ordens,  and 
dancing  served  as  the  amusement  for 
the  remainder  of  the  evening,  in 
place  of  tlie  anticipated   fight. 

The  fight  is  said  to  have  been 
planned  by  some  of  :he  members  of 
the  Douglas  Athletic  chib,  a  colored 
sporting-  organization.  Fully  a  dozen 
boys  ranging  from  11  to  15  years 
were  admitted  to  the  room,  the 
tickets  being  sold  to  them  for  25 
cents.

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 
seem  a  menace  to  the  health  of 
human  beings  to  subject  them  to  such 
tests,  congress  would  like  to  know  by 
whose  direction  such   tests  are  made. 

Robert  Vance  Freeman  died  in  this 
city  several  months  ago  of  tubercu- 
losis, which  was  brought  on,  his 
mother  saysL,  by  his  having  been  a 
member  of  the  "poison  squad,"  to 
whom  Dr.  Wiley  fed  boracic  acid  in 
food  or  In  capsules.  Mrs.  Lathan 
claims  that  young  Freeman  was  un-

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- 
chemist and  his  children  were  taken 
from  the  rulna  teribiy  shattered. 


or  Dr.  Wiley  should  pay  damages  for 
the  death  of  her  son. 

It  Is  the  opinion  of  several  members 
of  congress  that  it  is  bad  practice  to 
allow  the  liver  of  the  citizens  of  the 
United  States  to  be  imperiled  in  any 
degree  by  any  experiments  with  pois- 
oned food. 

Young  Freeman's  health  began  to 
fall  soon  after  he  underwent  the 
test,  according  to  his  mother.  When 
he  agreed  to  eat  at  the  poison  squad 
table  he  was  an  employe  of  the  de- 
partment of  agriculture.  Mrs.  La-

Medjo  had  gone  to  his  death  follow- 
ing a  ni;,'ht  spent  pleasantly  with  a 
brother.  Winding  one  end  of  the  rope 
around  the  trunk  of  a  tree  he  threw 
the  other  end  over  a  low  lin>b  and  made 
a  noose  for  his  neck.  Bending  forward 
he    slowly    .strangled    to    death. 

Medjo  was  about  37  ye<ars  old  and

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. 


BURNEDJO  DEATH. 

Drunken  Negro  Drives  Oat  Family  and 
Sets  Fire  to  House. 

Fort  Foniey,  Texas,  Dec.  26.— Monday 
night  Jake  Malone,  a  negro  living  on 
the  farm  of  J.  L.  Groves,  about  tlireo 
miles  south  of  town,  went  home  drunk, 
ard  took  a  razor  and  ran  his  wife  and 
children  off  the  place.  He  then  went 
in  the  house,  locked  the  door  and  set 
fife  to  the  building.  When  the  firo 
was  discovered,  and  the  neighbors  ar- 
rived, it  was  too  late  to  rescue  him, 
and   he   was   burned    to   death.

county  for  1906  which  will  soon  be  in  the 
hands  of  County  Treasurer  W.  A.  Hol- 
gate,  for  collection,  will  contain  several 
things  of  interest  to  the  personal  property 
taxpayers  of  the  city  ot  Duluth,  not  only 
on  account  of  the  large  number  of  per- 
sons added  to  the  list  since  1905,  but  be- 
cause of  the  increased  valuations  made 
in  many  instances,  both  of  individuals 
and  firms.  These  Increases  were  made 
by  the  assesor,  the  city  board  of  review, 
the  county  board  of  equalization  and,  in 
some  instances  by  the  state  board  of 
equalization.

raise  was  made  in  valuations. 

Probably  the  most  interesting  thing 
about  the  list  for  iy06  was  not  so  much 
the  increase  in  the  number  of  personal 
property  taxpayers  as  the  increases  in 
valuation  for  those  who  were  already 
paying  taxes.

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

some  hospital  or  other  Institution, 
where  I  can  be  treated  for  this  mor-

(icongressman  Bcdc  Will 

Ask  Lighthouse  for

Needs  of  Local 

Harbor.

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.

Watch  them  come — watch  them 
try  to  tell  ''you  how  to  be  care-

Watch  them  tell  you  that

'"Simon  Pure"  article! 

We've  been  through  it  before 
and  know  what  to  expect ! 

Our  sales  and  our  values  here 
stood  the  test — the  people  know! 

When  Giddings  advertise  a  sale 
you  can  absolutely  depend  upon  it 
being  bona  fide. 

But  we  needn't  tell  you  that 
you  know — you've  helped  Gid-

helped  you  get  the  very  best 
Garments  and  the  very  best  val-

We  have  the  confidence  of  the

Washington,  Dec.  26.— Interstate 
Cominerce  Commissioner  Lane,  who 
has  direct  charge  of  ameliorating 
conditions  In  the  Xorthwest,  where 
both  coal  and  car  famlne.«<  have  pre-

of  letier.s  from  dealers  and  residents 
In  North  Dakota,  Minnesota,  Wyom- 
ing and  Idaho. 

Some  of  the  writers  say  that,  in 
many  instances,  freight  trains  have 
not  pa.««sed  railroad  stations  for  a 
month  or  six  weeks,  and  that  hun- 
dreds of  thousands  of  dollars  have 
been  lost  to  the  farmers  and  elevator 
men,  particularly  in  North  Dakota, 
becau.«e  of  their  failure  to  obtain  cars 
to  move  their  wheat   and  flax. 

A  Iftt'T  from  Chf-yenne,  N.  D.,  states 
that,  Nov.  26,  a  car  was  billed  from  that 
point,  and  iliat,  Dec.  17.  the  car  was  still 
on  tiie  sidetrack  and  a  freight  train  had 
not  passt^  up  or  down  for  weeks.

G.  A.  Tomllnson  of  this  city,  one  of 
the  largest  vessel  owners  on  the  lakes,

construction  of  a  floating  dry  dock  at 
Duiuth  and  has  taken  an  option  on 
property  on  the  bay  front  in  Duiuth 
with  that  idea  in  view. 

The  dock,  it  is  reported,  will  be  large 
enough  for  the  accommodation  of  two 
of   the   largest    sized    steamers    at    one

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

!  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.

Laurel  Run.  on  the  mountain  near  here, 
have    been    frightened    bv    some    strange 
animal  during   the  last  few  days,   which 
they   say    has    appeared    from    the   brush 
along  the  mountain  road  between  the  two 
places.     Opinions  as  to  what  It  Is  differ. 
Some   say   It   is   an   enormous    ape   and 
others  that  it  Is  a  bear  which  has  wan- 
dered down  from  the  Bear  Creek  district, 
where    they    are    plentiful.      Those    who 
I  have   seen   it   have   not   waited   to   make 
j  any  investigation,  but  have  fled  as  fast 
1  as  they  could.

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

firef erred  ran  to  3%,  in  Northern  Pacific

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.

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  ]

be   a  profit   in  such   transactions.   Noth- . 
ing  would  seem  clearer  that  New    York  [ 
is    the    coming    monfy    center    of      the  1 
world    than    the    fact    that    the    fear    of

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 
veilance  or  the  consent

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?"

motorman  I  siiould  like  to  toll  of  a  simple 
way  in  which  the  life  of  the  motorinan 
who  was  killed  by  the  iTilrd  rail  Tuesday 
could  probably  have  been  saved  If  the 
conductor  or  guard.'  had  taken  a  newspa- 
e  I  per  (which  is  an  easy  article  to  get)  and 
,  I  used  it  as  a  glove  or  mitten  they  could 
have  dragged  the  man  from  under  the 
car  as  soon  as  they  reached  him.  whch 
would  have  saved  some  little  time  in  wait- 
ing for  a  rope.  I  have  sometimes  in  run- 
ning surface  cars  torn  down  overhead 
wires  and  by  using  a  newspaper  (or  any 
paper)  and  folding  three  or  four  thicks 
nesses  picked  110  the  live  wire  and  fasten- 
ed it  around  a  pole  or  a  fence.  In  ajn 
convinced  that  paper  can  be  used  safely 
in  such  emergencies,  and  may  in  future 
be  the  means  of  saving  life. 


has 
A. 


matter 
been  fully  considered  by  Mr.  R. 
Stone  of  this  office  and  myself,  and  as 
it  is  now  apparent  that  the  president 
directors  and  other  officers  of  the  Great 
Northern  intend  to  proceed  with  tlieir 
proposed  $60,000,0CK)  stock  issue  without 
first  making  application  to  and  procur- 
ing the  consent  of  the  state,  through 
the  railroad  and  warehouse  commis- 
sion, it  is  my  duty  to  take  step.<»  to  test 
the  law  on  this  subject,  and,  if  pos- 
sible, prevent  the  proposed  enormous 
increase  until  the  law  has  been  com- 
plied with.  The  action  is  a  very  sim- 
ple one  for  an  injunction  to  prevent 
proposed  action  until  the  company  has 
made  written  application  to  the  rail- 
road and  warehouse  commission  and 
shown  the  necessity  for  the  increa.se  in

Canton.— Tony  Kraayncbrink,  a  young 
Hollander,  aged  twenty-five  years,  is 
dead  from  injuries  received  In  a  runaway 
accident.  Kraayncbrink  wah  hauling  corn 
from  the  field  to  the  crib  when  his  -team 
suddenly  started  to  run  away.  The  man 
ran  after  them  and  jumped  upon  the  end 
of  the  wagon  in  an  endeavor  to  secure 
the  lines.  He  fell  on  the  end  board  In 
such  a  way  as  to  crush  his  stomach.

came  from  Holland  and  was  married  to 
the  young  man,  who  had  come  on  ahead 
to  make  a  home  for  her. 

Sioux  Falls.— Senator  A.  B.  Klttredgo. 
who  has  returned  to  his  home  in  this

erence to  his  bill  for  the  Investigation 
of  the  lumber  trust  which  will  attract 
wide  attention,  not  only  in  South  Dakota 
but  throughout  the  country.  "I  am  in 
fa\-or."  said  the  senator,  "of  the  removal 
of  the  tariff  on  lumber,  and  If  I  ever  get 
a  chance  to  vote  on  this  question  I  will 
vote  for  the  free  admission  of  lumber. 
If  it  were  within  my  power  to  introduce 
a  bill  putting  lumber  on  the  free  list  I 
would  do  so  at  once,  but  all  such  meas- 
ures must  originate  in  the  house  and  it 
is  not  within  my  power  to  introduce  such 
a  bill."

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. 

MANY  WITNJSTCONTESTS. 

West  Duluth  Has  a  Holiday  Festival  of 
Curling  Games. 

The  special  Chri.stnias  contests  ar-

There  were  several  minor  contests 
played  but  the  spe?ial  attraction  was 
the  big  contest  b?tveen  the  rinks, 
picked  for  President  Hewett  and  Vice 
President  McDonald. 

The  games  were  well  played;  each 
man  did  his  best  throughout.  McDon- 
ald's rinks  defeated  that  of  President 
Hewett  by  a  score  of  75  to  51.  The

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.

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

jumping   from   the   window   of  a   hos-

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 
HIS  DISTRICT 

New    Ambassador    to 
Leave  Most  Intellect- 
ual Constituency. 

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

BUSINESS  PART  BURNED. 

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.

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.

TO  GIVE  EACH  COUNTY 
LEGISLATOR  OF  ITS  OWN 
IS  APPORTIONMENT  PUN 


Many  Divisions  of  State 
Now  Have  No  Rep- 
resentative.

ing Up  Places. 

City  and  Country  Dis-

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.

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

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

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,

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

In  most  parts  of  the  state  is  the  cur-

The  three  Northern  roads,  it  is  said,

turned  lown  all  request's.  Those  liv-

agreements  in  order  to  sret  transporta-

giving  transportation  without  any  re-

the  Hiwaiian  planters  to  diversify 
their  labor,  as  far  as  may  be  possible 
from  all  quarters  of  the  world.  A  sec- 
ond shipload  of  Portuguese  will  arrive 
at  Honolulu  in  a  short  time  and  it 
is  probable  that  these  immigrants  will 
make  the  Islands  their  permanent

be  operated  on  the  islands  if  it  were 
possible  to  obtain  the  necessary  labor-

used  by  its  distinguished  owner,  tho 
sword  of  John  Paul  Jones  now  rest* 
in  the  library  of  the  navy  depart- 
ment, whore  it  ha.s  been  placed  by 
Commander    Reginald    Nicholson. 

It  is  believed  that  the  weapon  or- 
iginally was  presented  to  Jones  by 
tlie    North     Carolina    family    of    that 

name  at  the  time  he  changed  his 
own  name,  in  complement  to  theim. 
It  was  given  by  Jones  to  Theodosia 
Burr,  daughter  of  Aaron  ,Burr.  Mls3 
Burr,  after  marrying  Josepli  Alston, 
a  wealthy  and  talented  young  planter 
of  South  Carolina^  who  in  after  years 
became  governor  of  the  state,  pre- 
sented it  to  Judge  Matthew  Davis  of 
Charleston,  who  gave  It  to  Rev.  Dr. 
Ducachet  of  Philadelphia.  The  latter 
made  a  gift  of  it  to  Commodre  .Sum- 
inerville  Nicholson,  and  the  commo- 
dore gave  it  to  its  present  owner. 
Commander    Nicholson. 

The  sword  is  thirty  Inches  long*. 
beautiful  in  design,  very  strong  and 
highly     tempered.  The     hilt     is     of 

v.hlte  brais,  with  the  portion  known 
technically  as  the  basket  broken 
away.  The  tang  is  wide  and  strongr, 
and  tlie  gfip  plfce  of  the  handle  is  of 
wood,  covered  rrlth  twisted  coppet 
wire.

The  Giddin^  Sale 

Continues  to  hold  public  interest  as  was 
shown  by  crowds  of  buyers  assembled 
there  today  and  which  exceeds  that  of 
Wednesday,  the  opening  day— the  values 
are  the  most  pretentious  ever  offered  by 
this  house  of  high  standards— and  can- 
not help  but  Impress  shoppers  with  the 
fact  that  the  values  are  not  only  excep- 
tional, but  that  the  sale  one  that  should 
command  the  attention  of  every  well 
dressed  woman  at  the  Head  of  the  J^akes 
—the  annex,  too.  is  doing  an  unusually 
heavy  business  because  of  the  unusual 
offerings  in  big  and  little  girls'  coats  at 
half  and  dresses  at  important  reductions— 
for  tomorrow  they  have  announced  addi- 
tional values  in  high  class  fur  sets  and 
coats. 


WOMEN  DOG  THIEVES. 

Dog  thieves  have  been  very  busy  re- 
cently in  the  neighborhood  of  Oxford 
street.  Regent  street  and  Piccadilly, 
says  the  London  Daily  Mail. 

The  police  believe  that  there  is  an  ex- 
pert and  highly  organized  gang  at 
work.  The  ordinary  dog  thief  with  his 
sack  for  small  dogs  and  a  stout  piece 
of  rope  for  the  larger  ones  is  always  at 
About    50    per    cent    of    the    actions )  work;     but    recent     losses     point    to    a 


noted   for    trial    the    coming   term   are 
personal  injury  cases.     In  the  divorce 
cases   twenty-one      people      have   peti- 
tioned the  court  for  a  legal  separation. 
Judging   from    the   answers   that   have 
;  been  tiled  there  are  likely  to  be  some 
;  contests  on  in  the  divorce  cases. 
I      During  January  and  February,  next 
year,  jurors  will  hear  the  testimony  in 
sixty-nine  cases.      Besides  the  twenty- 
one  divorce  suits  the  judges  will  hear 
the  evidence  in  eighteen  civil  actions 
Four   of  the   divorce   cases   were   con- 
tinued from  the  November  term.

more  daring  method  of  appropriation. 
It  is  believed  that  many  of  the  thefts 
of  smaller  dogs  are  committed  by 
women.  They  hang  about  on  the  out- 
skirts of  crowds  of  ladles  looking  into 
the  shop  windows,  and  the  small  ter- 
rier Is  snapped  up  and  either  concealed 
under  the  cloak  or  tiie  thief  hails  a 
passing  hansom.  As  the  female  thieves 
are  invariably  well  dressed,  the  fact 
that  they  have  a  more  or  less  protest- 
ing snitill  dog  imder  their  arm  occa- 
sions  no  comment. 

Of  the  larger  types,  collies  and  pood- 
les are  the  most  sought  after  by  the 
dog  thieves  because  they  seem  to  be 
more  easily  handled  by  strangers  and 
because  they  always  command  a  good 
market  on  the  continent,  especially  in 
France.  The  smaller  dogs  have  vari- 
ous   fates.      They    may    be    "faked"    to

AS  THEYSAY  IN'   BOSTON. 

People  who  go  to  Boston  may  not 
care  much  about  the  simplified  spelling, 
but  if  some  kind  soul  would  simplify 
the  prontmciatlon  of  the  P^nglish  lan- 
guage as  she  is  spoke  around  Boston 
It  would  save  the  si^^ranger  many 
blushes,  says  the  New   York  Sun. 

If.  for  instance,  you  happen  to  be  the 
stranger  and  by  way  of  showing  an 
Interest  in  local  politics  yon  remark 
that  vou  are  glad  that  Guild  defeated 
Moraii  you  are  courting,  danger.  How 
does  anvbody  pronounce  "Guild?"  Like 
•gUd."  of  course.  But  put  a  capital 
at  its  head,  go  to  Boston  and  at  once 
you  must  say  "Gulled." 

As  for  Moran,  It  is  admitted  that 
Borne  Bostonians  do  say— as  who  else 
would  not?— "Mo-ran,"  with  the  accent 
on  the  last  syllable,  as  for  instance  In 
also  ran.  But  there  are  others  who 
five  it  a  pronunciation  which  is  a  cross 
_>etween  "Mo-ran"  and  "Morran."  and 
■Which  really  sounds  more  like  "Mur- 
rain"   than    anything   else. 

If  you  want  to  appear  to  be  a  native 
beaneater— of  course  you  may  not; 
there's  no  accounting  for  tastes— you 
"Win  not  talk  of  Dorchester  but  of 
potcheater;  not  of  Roxbury  and  Sud- 
bury, but  of  Roxb'ry  and  Sudbry. 

If  you  think  of  sending  your  son  to 
Oroton  you  will  know  enough  to  call 
It  "Grotton.  Y'ou  will  go,  not  to 
Quincy  Market,  but  to  "Quinzy  Mar- 
ket," the  same  being  in  the  lower  por- 
tion of.  not  Faneuil  hall,  but  "Fan- 
Hul    hall."    or    evf-n    "Funnel    hall." 

In  Quinzy  Market  you  may  be  lucky 
•noi-.gh  to  find  some  apples  labelled 
Blue  Poarmains.     But  If  you  would  ap 


to   be  called      for      Mr.      Joerns,   after

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."

TEACHERS  MEET 
IN  WISCONSIN 

President  Sims  Advocates 

Medical  Supervision 

of  Sctioois. 

Milwaukee,  Dec.  27. — Over  1,000 
school  teachers  gathered  at  the  David- 
son theater  today  for  the  fifty-fourth 
annual  meeting  of  the  Wisconsin 
Teachers'  association.  President  John 
T.  Sims  of  Stf  vens  Point  delivered  hJs 
annual  address  at  the  opening  session. 
The  process  of  education,  he  said, 
mu.st  result  in  the  harmonious  devel- 
opment of  bodv.  mind  and  soul.  Of 
paramount  importance  is  a  healthy 
body.  He  said  the  injury  of  health  to 
children  might  arise  from  variou.s 
causes,  such  as  bad  ventilation  and 
plumbing  of  buildings  insufficient 
heating  and  lighting,  improperly  ad- 
justed desks,  etc.  He  J.dded:  "I  sub- 
mit to  the  candid  judgment  of  this 
convention  and  to  the  people  whether 
the  time  Is  not  ripe  to  provide  by  stat- 
ute for  a  system  of  medical  inspectloi. 
of  our  schools,  and  within  proper 
limits  of  our  homes  which  should 
guarantee  security  against  the  need- 
less    sacrifices     of     health     and     life 


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.". 

"This  being  the  Chvistmaa  season  ha.s 
nothing  to  do  with  the  heavy  travel  of 
woodsmen,  ■  said  W.  .S.  Chadwlck,  ticket

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.

St.  Paul,  Dec.  27. — (Special  to  The 
Herald.) — "If  we  must  have  war  with 
the  twine  tru.st  give  ug  an  open  field 
and  a  fair  light." 

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- 
ers be  modified  and  that  the  prison 
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- 
ibility of  manufacturing  farm  ma- 
chinery in  the  state  prison  In  order  to 
meet  the  so-called  farm  machinery 
trust. 

The  product  of  the  twine  manuf.ac- 
tory  of  the  prison  this  year  approxi- 
mated 13,000,000  pounds  and  the 
board  plans  to  increase  the  output 
next  year  by  from  four  to  six  million 
pounds.

Escanaba— Another  proposition,  submit- 
ted to  the  Escanaba  <  ity,  for  furnishing 
a  gas  and  electric  light  service  has  been 
tabled  by  the  unanimtus  vote  of  the  al- 
dermen. O.  L.  Huie  of  Marinette  was 
the  proposer  of  the  new  proposition  who 
received  a  severe  jolt  at  the  hands  of 
the  council  and  who  narrowly  escaped 
having  his  communlcition  hurled  back 
without  receiving  consideration.  Under 
the  terms  of  the  proposition,  Mr.  Huie 
agrees  to  construct  and  maintain  a 
modern  fuel  and  electrc  plant,  to  pay  the 
city  175,000 'for  the  municipal  lighting 
plant  and  to  establish  a  lower  schedule  of 
rates  for  public  and  private  lighting  for 
both  electricity  and  jras  than  the  city 
now  enjoys.  He  wanted  a  franchise  for  a 
term  of  thirty  years  and  a  contract  with 
the  city  for  ten  years. 


Houghton— Alexander  Konola,  who  shot 
Ida  Holm  on  Shelden  street,  Houghton, 
Saturday,  inflicting  a  wound  from  which 
she  died  Bunday  evening,  was  arraigned 
in  Justice  Brand's  court  today  for  the 
preliminary  hearing.  A  commission  will 
examine  into  the  mental  condition  of  the 
man,  so  that  If  he  is  adjudged  insane,  he 
may  be  given  proper  treatment  for  his 
malady  immediatefj'.  Before  pa.sslng  away 
Sunday  night.  Miss  Holm,  the  victim  of 
the  tragedy,  made  a  statement  to  the 
effect  that  she  did  not  know  the  man  who 
did  the  shooting,  nor  had  she.  in  her  be- 
lief, ever  seen  the  man  before.  She  said 
the  bullet  was  evidently  meant  for  John- 
son, her  escort,  for  it  was  upon  him 
Konola's  gaze  was  fixi^d  as  he  advanced 
with  the  revolver  In  his  hand. 

Richard  Feare,  63  years  old,  for  many

the  lockage  down  of  the  Andrew  J.  Smith, 
a  tug  owned  by  one  of  the  local  lumber- 
men, through  the  Canadian  canal.  The 
season   was  a  banner  one.    and   exceeded 

the  expectations  of  the  most  sanguine 
vessel  men.  Fifty  millions  tons  ot  freight 
was  the  goal,  and  the  totals  made  out 
Saturday  showed  61,751,080  Ions,  an  in- 
crease of  nearly  7,500,0(K)  tons  over  the 
previous   season. 

The  total  for  the  month  of  December, 
1905,  was  1.270,207  tons,  which  was  ex- 
ceeded in  this  season's  report  of  1,558,245 
tons.  A  diversity  of  opinion  existed  be- 
tween the  marine  men  here  as  to  the 
total  for  December.  The  blockade,  and  the 
early  forming  of  ice,  which  retarded  navi-

to  explain  their  position  on  the  Jap- 
anese question  to  the  authorities  in  the 
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

they  gave  chase,  one  of  the  men  driv- 
ing and  the  other  watching  for  a 
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. 

The  supreme  court  in  an  opinion  by 
Justice  Carson  denied  a  new  trial  to 
Bert  Allen  of  Lyman  county,  convicted 
of  embezzlement.  This  means  that  Al- 
len  will   have   to   serve   his   sentence.

OON 


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.

A  bit  of  delicately  browned  bacon  Is 
about  the  only  soit  of  meat  that  one 
can  tolerate  the  thought  of  after  a 
Christmas  goose  in  the  immediate  past 
and  a  New  Year's  turkey  looming 
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 
days.

THE  REBELLION

"Now,  you  keep  your  eyes  on  things, 
pa.  You'd  better  not  go  off  the  place 
all  day.  You  might  weed  out  my  flower 
garden  this  afternoon,  and  you  might 
give  the  cellar  a  cleaning-up.  It  needs 
It  the  worst  way."

The  holiday  Assembly  ball  will  take 

f>iace  tomorrow  evening  at  the  Spald- 
ng,  and  one  of  the  most  brilliant 
functions  of  the  winter  is  anticipated. 
The  music  will  be  furnished  by  La 
Drossc's  orchestra,  and  plans  have 
been  completed  for  a  most  delight- 
ful function. 


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 
My  cow  is  nilred  In  that 


<  ^^^nd  there  are  good  and  substantial  reasons  why  it  is  a  success.  From  years  of  past  experi- 
ence the  people  have  learned  that  Freimuth's  do  not  make  any  extravagant  statements  in  iheir  ad- 
vertisements, but  know  that  whatever  statements  are  made  are  bona  fide  and  borne  out  by  facts. 
People  of  ordinary  business  understanding  do  discriminate  between  the  possible  and  the  improbable 
— in  good  business  conduct. 

We  invite  your  close  comparison  either  of  price  or  quality,  and  will  abide  by  your  decision. 
During  this  Great  Clearing  Sale  we  offer —

note  of  defiance  In  hia  voice  as  he  made 
reply:  "Just  because  I'm  done  mllkin' 
your  cows,  Hugh.  I  don't  calc'Iate  on 
milkln'  but  one  cow  hereafter,  an'  that 
one  will  be  Thyrza'a  cow,  or  our  cow.  If 
Thyrza  won't  think,  it  top  persoomin'  in 
mc." 

"What  do  you  mean?"  said  Lyddy. 
sharply. 

"I  mean,  Lyddy,  th£.t  Thyrza  an'  me 
have  kind  o'  stolen  a  iiMirch  on  you,  an' 
went  an'  got  married,  as  we'd  a  perfect 
right  to,  both  bein'  o'  lawful  age  an' 
sound  mind.  Any  objections?" 

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 
chores  to  do  by  yourself  when  you  git 
home." 

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." 


you  all  day. 

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

an  his  wife  never  seem  to  think  o'  that. 
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 
new  things  Hugh's  children  are  wearin', 
an'  that  they  didn't  hav  the  grace  to 
thank    me    for.    an'    some    o'    the    money

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 
Ware  way  to  live  a  couple  o'  years,  an' 
met  the  girl  I  married  there,  that  I 
would  o*  asked  you  to  marry  me.  It 
wa'n't  no  disrespect  to  my  wife  to  think 
It.  I  had  a  good,  true  wife,  an'  you  had 
a  good,  true  husband.  They  are  both 
gone  now,  an'  we  are  left  a  lonely  man 
and'  woman.  For  I  am  lonely,  an'  so 
are  you.  I  haven't  no  real  home  with 
my  son.  An'  I  want  a  home  o'  my  own

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.

That   Dame   Fashion   will  never  out- 
grow   her    fondness    for    velvet    gowns 


Is  illustrated  year  after  year,  for 
every  succes.ilve  wmter  season  brings 
forth  Its  modes  for  rec«iptioa,  and 
often  evening  wear,  in  rich  and  hand- 
some qualities  of  velvet.  For  the  af- 
ternoon there  are  all  the  rich  shades, 
black  being  of  all  the  most  popular, 
but  for  the  dinner,  ball  or  opera 
gowns,  bright  shades  of  pink,  red. 
deep  turquoise  blue  and  fascinating 
shades  of  green  are  to  bo  noticed  this 
year. 
For   the  sake   of   Investment   alone  a 


pire  models,  the  collar  is  unusually 
high,  and  the  skirt  must  he  longer 
than  the  average,  with  a  decided 
train,  for  all  possible  height  must  be 
given  to  counteract  the  short  walated 
effect. 

Both  embroidery  and  braiding  are 
made  use  of  to  trim  this  season's 
velvet  gowns.  In  black  the  embroid- 
ery is  all  In  black  silk,  with  per- 
haps a  touch  of  silver  or  gold,  but 
the  light  effect  is  brought  by  con- 
trasting colors  in  the  embroidery  or 
by  light  and  dark  shades  of  the  one 
color.  Even  If  the  dress  Itself  Is 
trimmed    only    with    lace    the    jacket 


black    velvet    calling    costume    Is    well    ^lay   have   any   amount   of  embroidery

to  coat  every  piece.  Toss  lightly,  then

years  in  later  life. 

"Mo  an'  Ruth  never  missed  a  county 
fair  in  all  the  forty  an'  so  more  happy 
years  God  let  her  stay  with  me.  I  some- 
times wish  that  he  had  let  me  gone  on 
with  her  on  that  journey  from  which  no 
one  ever  comes  back.  Ruth  alius  enjoyed 
the  fair.  An'  she  took  the  blue  ribbon 
for  bread  an'  'lection  cake  three  years 
hand-runnin'  at  the  fair.  An'  her  'Star 
o'  Bethlehem'  quilt  carried  off  the  first 
prize.  It  was  at  the  fair  I  first  met 
Ruth.  She  was  a  pioter  that  day.  I  mind 
as  how  She  looked  in  a  blue  mozambique 
dress  with  a  white  hat  an'  blue  lustcring 
ribbons.  I  remember  that  I  told  her, 
when  I  proposed  to  her,  that  It  was  that 
hat  an'  the  blue  bow  under  her  chin  that 
helped  to  land  me.     I  remember—" 

He  put  his  arm  across  his  eyes  for  a 
moment.  When  he  took  It  away  there 
were  wet  spot  on  the  sleeve  of  his  faded 
old  "hickory"  .shirt  and  his  lips  were 
quivering.  He  wiped  his  ej'es  on  the  back 
of  his  toil-worn  hand  before  saying  to 
himself:  "I  hope  Ruth  don't  know  Just 
how  it  fares  with  me  now.    I  don't  b'lleve 


happy  yoti  an'  me  could  be  real  happy  together' 
Don't  you,  now.  Thyrza?  You  don't 
know  how  lonesome  an'  unhappy  I  am. 
an'  I— I  Thyrza,  I  feel  toward  you  to- 
day just  as  I  felt  that  day  when  I  asked 
you  to  go  to  the  big  meetin'  over  in  Hills-

S'posln'  we  be  comp'ny  for  each  other  the

Thyrza?" 

Three  hours  later  Jason  and  Thyrza  ap- 
peared at  the  home  of  the  old  minister 
in  the  little  village  of  Zoar,  and  when 
Ihfv  went  away  it  was  as  "bride  and 
bridegroom,   pilgrims  of   life   together." 

The  newly  wedded  pair  were  standing 
at  the  gate  of  Thyrza's  home  when  Hugh 
and  his  family  came  driving  by  on  their 
homeward  way.  There  was  a  severe  look 
on  Hugh's  face  and  a  sharp  note  In  his 
voice  when  ha  said:  "What  does  this 
mean,  father?  Why  aren't  you  home 
milking  the  cows?"

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.

Entertains  and  Astonishes  Women  at 
the  iiiatinee. 

At  the  Lyceum  theater  yesterday  after- 
noon Anna  Eva  Fay  gave  a  matinee 
for  women  only  and  a  great  time  they 
had.  Questions  were  propounded  upon  , 
almost  every  known  subject,  some  caus-  ^ 
ing  a  ripple  of  laughter  at  Miss  Fay's  . 
witty  replies,  while  others  of  a  more 
serious  nature  caused  the  audience  to  | 
wonder  at  this  strange  little  woman's  j 
knowledge  of  their  private  family  af-  j 
fairs,  but  all  marveleld  and  wondered  ; 
at  what  they  saw  and  heard.  Saturday 
Miss  Fay  gives  her  last  matinee  and 
tonight,  Friday  and  Saturday  night 
closes  Miss  Fay's  engagement  in  Du- 
luth. ,  I 

In  speaking  of  hei-   marvelous  power,  1 
Miss  Fay  says:     "I  have  cultivated  the 
sixth     sense,     and     my     mental     flights 
are  perfectly  normal  to  my  understand-  | 
ing,    but   1   cannot   define    this   sense    to  j 
you      I  believe  if  I  were  to  try  to  put 
It    into     language,    1    would     speak     a  1 
strange   jargon,    and   give   you    the   Im-  1 
pression   that   I   am   a   charlatan,   but   I 
have  found  men  a*iU  women  who  com- 
mune with  me  In  a  language  perfectly  ! 
Intelligible,   but   not    In   words   familiar  1 
with    our    tongue.      I    meet    those    who  | 
seem    to    annihilate    me.     It    is    as    if    I  1 
were  an  astral  essense,  that  fioatcd  just  } 
above,  and  beyond  their  thought  plane.  , 
I  surround  myself  with  a  wall,  and  look 
over  it  at  some  of  the  intellectual  mon-  I 
trocitles    that    touch    the    edge    of    my 
thought  wave,  but  I  do  It  with  an  un- 
derstanding   that    is    full    of    sympathy, 
and    would    help    them    if    it    were    pos- 
sible.   They  are  not  ready  yet,  but  they 
are    all    strug.tcling    for    the    mouth    of 
the   cavern,  where   the  light   will   shine 
upon  them." 

THE  BALTIMO^RE  BEAUTIES. 
The  Baltimore  BctiUties  are  entertain- 
ing a  largo  number  of  ladies  at  th.eir 
matinee  at  the  Metropolitan  this  after- 
noon. The  company  will  give  another 
matinee  Saturday,  as  it  does  not  conclude 
its  engagement  until  Saturday  evening. 
This  weeks  audiences  have  been  much 
pleased  with  the  ent.rtainment  offered  by 
the  Baltimore  persons.  The  songs  are 
tuneful  and  are  veiy  well  sung.  Mar- 
garet King  has  a  ^ood  voice  and  it  is 
heard  to  advantage  in  several  numbers, 
including  a  catchy  Italian  character  song, 
"Maricuia,  She  Taka  Steamboat."  Frank- 
Ivn  Batie  has  the  b<!St  piale  voice  in  the 
company,  and  he  hat;  several  pretty  num- 
bers.

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.

STOCK  DEALS 

Are    Charged     Against 
Three  Men  by  Resid- 
ents of  Bemidji. 

Bemidji,  Minn.,  Dec.  27. — (Special 
to  The  Herald.) — J.  R.  Moore, 
Franklin  Anderson  and  H.  W.  Cherry, 
who  have  been  selling  stock  in  vari- 
ous enterprises  throughout  this  part 
of  the  state,  and  which  .sales  are 
claimed  to  have  been  made  by  var- 
ious fraudulent  misrepresentations, 
have  come  to  grief,  thanks  to  the 
activity  of  some  Bemidji  people, 
who  it  is  claimed  were  victimized, 
aided  by  the  prompt  and  efficient  | 
actions  of  Countj  Attorney  E.  E.  Mc- 
Donald   and    Sheriff    Thomas    Bailey.

wards married  and  Is  now  the  head 
of  a  large  family,  and  resides  on 
2723  Helm  street.  His  former  wife  in 
Norway  also  married  again,  and  still 
lives  in  Norway. 

Last  summer  Alvin's  father  sent  for 
him  and  he  arrived  here,  but  was 
found  to  be  attlicted  with  a  serious 
case  of  tuberculosis.  On  this  account 
Inspector  Dean  made  preparations  for 
the  deportation  of  the  sick  boy,  and 
finally   sent   him   back    to    Norway. 

According  to  the  uncle,  Alfred 
Christopherson,  he  was  willing  to  care 
for  the  boy,  and  offered  to  do  so,  but 
Mr.  Dean  would  not  permit  it.  Great 
dissatisfaction  is  expressed  by  the 
uncle  over  the  action  of  the  Inspector, 
and  he  is  not  convinced  that  there 
was  any  authority  to  deport  the  boy 
where  th?re  ara  relatives  to  care  for

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.

"To  the  tenderfoot?  thd  surprising  feat- 
ure about  California  Is  that  so  little  of 
the  'area  of  the  state  Is  under  cultiva- 
tion,' said  P.  B.  Clemans  of  Toledo.  O., 
at  the  St.  Liouis.  "J  was  under  the  im- 
pression that  practicany  all  the  land, 
with  the  exception  of  the  desert  wasiej 
we  all  have  heard  ai>out,  was  under  cul- 
tivation, but  a  visit  to  the  coast  last 
year  showed  me  where  i  svas  -mistaken. 

"From  a  mountain  erev^atlon  one  can 
sui^ey  the  orange  grSA'es  that  niake 
California  famous  the  w>rld  over.  The 
time  will  come,  of  course,  in  these  mir- 
acle-working days,  when  even  the  waste 
places  will  bloom,  and  with  Uncle  Sam 
the  Irrigator,  and  tiUttifei-  Burbanks  the 
wonder  worker  at'  wt>rk,  even  Death 
Valley  may  be  made  productive. 

"The  rapid  development  of  California, 
and  the  growth  of  population  is  quite 
remarkable,  and  perhaps  Is  most  strik- 
ingly shown  around  Ltoa  Angeles.  Thirty 
years  ago  the  site  of  Pasadena,  near  Los 
Angeles,  was  a  sheep  pasiture.  An  asso- 
ciation bought  it  up  at  J5  an  acre,  de- 
veloped water  and  founded  a.  colony. 
This  was  tht  beginning  of  one  of  the 
roost  famous  cities  in  the  entire  coun- 
try, a  city  of  wealth  and  marvelously 
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,

Shake-up  in  Metaphors. 

London  Tid-Bits:  A  minister  said  to  his 
congregation:  "Brethren,  the  muddy  pool 
of  politics  was  the  rock  on  which  I 
split." 

An  orator  Is  credited  with  a  peroration 
In  which  he  spoke  of  "all  ranks,  from 
the  king  sitting  on  his  throne  to  the 
cottager   sitting  on   his    cottage!" 

"My  client  acted  boldly."  said  the  coun- 
sellor. "He  saw  the  storm  brewing  in 
the  distance,  but  he  w^as  not  dismayed. 
He  took  the  bull  by  the  horns,  and  had 
him  indicted  for  perjury." 

A  Hindu  journalist,  commenting  on  a 
political  disturbance,  said:  "We  cannot 
from  a  distance  realize  the  Intensity  of 
the  crisis,  but  It  Is  a  certain  thing  that 
many  crowned  heads  are  trembling  in 
their  shoes." 

An  old  negro  woman,  whose  needs  were 
supplied  by  friends,  never  failed  to  ex- 
press her  gratitude  in  original  language: 
"You  is  powerful  good  to  a  pore  ole 
'oman  like  me,  wid  one  foot  in  de  grabe 
an'  do  Oder  a-cryin'  out.  'Lawd.  how 
long,   how  long?'  "

His  Platform. 

Harper's  Magazine:  A  prominent  Chl- 
go  politician,  when  a  candidate  for  an 
important  municipal  office,  related  the 
following  story  to  illustrate  why  ho 
should  be  elected  Instead  of  one  of  his 
opponents: 

"Once  I  told  three  negroes  that  I'd  give 
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 
kase  de  Publicans  sot  we  niggers  free.' 

"  'Very  good  Pete,"  said  I,  'Now.  Bill. 
let  m©  hear  from  you.' 

"  'Well,  I'se  a  'Publican  kase  dey  done 
gib  us  a  pertectlve  tariff.' 

"  'Fine!'  I  exclaimed.  'Now  Sam,  what 
have  you  to  say?'  ,  .     ^     . 

"  'Boss,'  said  Sam,  scratching  his  head 
and  shifting  from  one  foot  to  the  other— 
'boss,  I'se  a  'Publican  kase  I  wants  dat 
turkey.' 

"And  he  got  It." 

Is  Life  Worth  Living? 

Is  life  worth  living?    Yes,  so  long 

As  spring  revives  the  year. 
And  halls  us  with  the  cuckoo's  song 

To  show  that  she  Is  here; 
Bo  long  as  May  of  April  takes. 

In  smiles  and  tears,    farewell. 
And  windHowers  dapple  all  the  brakes. 

And  primroses  the  dell; 
While  children  in  the  woodlands  yet 

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. 

Life  is  worth  living  still. 

-ALFRED  AUSTIN.

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. 

Knot  Gnecessarj'. 

I^lfe:  By  all  means  let  us  cling  to  the 
old  spelling.  If  the  present  style  of  spell- 
ing was  good  enough  for  our  parents 
why  not  good  enough  for  us? 

Take  "gnat,"  for  instance.  Instead  of 
dropping  the  g  why  not.  If  It  Is  a  good 
thing,    use  It  more   freely? 

Why  not  raise  your  ghat  to  a  gcat  If 
she  is  gfat? 

And  k— what  harm  In  a  little  more  of  a 
sensible  custom?  If  you  have  the  knowl- 
edge why  make  a  knolse?  Knobody  Is 
knaughty.  A  knife  Is  knever  knlce  un- 
less knecep.sary.  And  why  should  not  a 
knave  knail  knapkins  to  knarcotlcs?  And 
are  knapkins  better  than  gnapklns? 

Kno;  decidedly  knotl 


Whisper  Itl 

If    you've    got    a    little    matter    that    you 

want  tlie  folks  to  know 
And    you    think    that   advertising   Is    pe^' 

haps  a  little  slow. 
Not    to    say    that    it's    uncertain    or    con- 
fined to  some  extent 
To  the  limits  of  a  circle,  which,  of  course, 

Is  evident — 
If  you  want  it  universal— over  all  the  city 

spread. 
Never  put  it  in  the  papers.    I've  a  better 

scheme  inst<^ad.

possible  delay.

Whose  statues  were  perfectly  hideous, 
He  made  Aphrodite

And  thus  shocked  tho  ultra-fastldlous.

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.

decorated,  and  the  large  treo  in  the

gifts.

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 
Prettner's  saloon  last  Sunday,  will  hQ 
tried  in  municipal  court  Friday  after- 
noon. Both  participants  were  badly 
battered  up.  as  pool  balls,  billiard  cues 
and  mop  handles  were  the  weapcHis 
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.

Business  men  report  almost  universal- 
ly that  their  Chrlstrias  business  has 
been  larger  than  ever  before,  and  that 
their  customers  hava  been  satisfied 
with  nothing  but  the  best.  The  post- 
office  officials  report  that  the  volume 
of  outgoing  mail,  particularly  of  regist- 
ered mall,  has  been  considerably  larger 
than  that  of  last  year,  while  the 
amount  of  Incoming  mail  has  not  In* 
creased  perceptibly. 

The  search  by  those  in  charge  of  the 
public  schools,  ministers,  and  charit- 
able organizations  for  needy  families 
.upon  whom  Christmas  baskets  might 
be  bestowed,  has  re^'ealed  that  there 
are  almost  no  people  In  the  city  who 
are  really  in  want  for  the  necessaries 
of  life.  In  short,  tho  citizens  of  this 
city  are  remarkably  happy  and  pi-os-

been  an   unusually  merry  one.

Brainerd,  Minn.,  Dec.  27.— Some  person 
last  night  knocked  at  the  door  of  C.  K.

Hansen  with  a  bundle,  saying  "Here  Is 
a  Christmas  present  :;or  you."  and  at 
once  left.  When  she  turned  back  Into

With  him  In  the  bundle  was  a  change 
of  clothing  and  a  bottle  of  milk.  The

new  home  and  Mrs.  Hansen  claims  that 
nothing  would  Induce  her  to  part  with

to  The  Herald.)— Gus  \Vang,  who  was 
struck  by  an  engine  of  a  passenger  train

dition. His  legs  and  arms  were  all 
broken,  and  it  was  necessary  to  ampu- 
tate one  of  his  legs.  Apparently  the 
man,  while  Intoxicated,  laid  down  on 
the  track  and  fell  asleep.  Owing  to  the 
darkness,  the  engineer  could  not  see 
him  until  it  was  too  late.  He  was 
picked  up  and  brought  to  Cass  Lake 
to  the  hospital.  The  unfortunate  man 
was  an  employe  of  the  Swan  River 
Logging   company.

THE  ART  OF  BREWING 
was  brought  to  America  by 
tbe  first  settlers  of  the  Col- 
onies, and  tbe  industry  was  gen- 
trally  fostered  by  Colonial  legisla- 
tion. One  of  tbe  many  examples 
of  tbis  is  tbe  act  of  1789,  passed 
by  tbe  legislature  of  Massacbusefts: 
"Wbereas  tbe  wbolesome  qualities 
of  malt  liquors  greatly  recommend 
tbera  for  general  use,  as  an  im- 
portant means  of  preservmg  tbe 
bealtb  of  tbe  citizens  of  tbis  com- 
raonwealtb,  and  to  prevent  tbe  per- 
nicious effect  of  spintous  liquors; 
Therefore  be  it  enacted,  tbat  all 
Brewbouses  sball  be  exempt  from 
taxes  and  duties  of  all  kinds  for  a 
period  of  five  years  after  tbe  pass- 
age of  tbis  act.

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 
keep    him    busy    in    his    own    country; 
that  George  W.   Eldridge  of  Monroe  \a 
'discredited  and  that  the  remains  of  the 
old     Piatt     wing    of    the    organization 
will   fiock  to  the  Odell  standard  at  the 
psycholofrical  moment. 

Mr.  Odf'H's  friends  say  that  Presi- 
dent Parsons  of  the  New  York  county 
committee  cannot  withstand  him  in 
the  end.  The  struggle  to  control  the 
Republican  organization  in  1908  and 
to  name  the  seventy-six  delegates  to 
the  Republican  national  convention 
has  already  begun,  with  President 
Roosevelt.  Governor  Hughes.  Mr. 
Woodruff  and  Mr.  Parsons  on  one  side 
and  Mr.  Odell.  Louis  F.  Payn.  ex-Gitv- 
ernor  Frank  S.  Black  and  others  for 
opponents. 

Republicans  tresh  from  Washington 
pnd  consultations  with  President 
Roosevelt.  Mr.  Piatt  and  Mr.  Depew, 
Bald  positively  that  Mr.  Piatt  and  Mr! 
Depew  will  not  resign  from  the  United 
States  senate  and  that  they  have  been 
adv!.«»ed  not  to  resign  by  intimate  po- 
litical friends  of  President   Roosevelt.

■  "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."

Indoor  baseball  players  at  the  Head

ments by  the  morning  paper  that  the 
j  Big    Duluth    team    is    so    superior    to 
all    the   others    that   It   has    killed    the 


game. 

I     "They  haven't  shown  that  great  su- 

;  periority   yet,"    said   a   member   of   one 

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.

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

STEEL  DOORS 
SAVE  WRETCH 

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.

started   In    the   United     States     court,

Buying  for  Second  Half 

of    Year    Grows 

Heavier. 


Bettilehem   Steel   Com< 

pany  Making  Steel 

Rails  Again. 


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- 
other works  in  New  York  State  has 
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

Pine=Tar=Honey 

The  new  and  the  true,  is  nature's  most  natural  remedy,  improved 
by  science  to  a  pleasant,  permanent  positive  cure  for  coughs,  colds 
and  all  inflamed  surfaces  of  the  Lungs  and  Bronchial  Tubes. 
The  sore,  weary,  cough-worn  Lungs  are  exhilirated  ;  the  microbe- 
bearip.f  mucus  is  cut  out:  the  cause  of  that  tickling  is  removed, 
and  the  inflamed  membranes  are  healed  and  soothed  so  that 
there  is  no  inclination  to  cough. 

Over  4,000,000   Bottles    Sold  During  1904, 

{ON  AN  ABSOLUTE  OUARANTEE.) 

The  strongest  evidence  of  the  meritg  of  a  proprietary  medicine 
is  the  opinion  of  the  consumer.      Here  is  the  record: 

Over  Two  Million  Bottles  Sold  in  190a. 
Over  Three  Million  Bottles  Sold  in  1903. 
Over  Four  Million  Bottles  Sold  In  1904  • 

This  evidences  the  opinion  of  the  consumer  regarding  the  merits 
of  Dr.  Bell's  Pine-Tar-Honey,   best  cough  medicine  on  the  market. 


I  AM  89  YEARS  OLD,  and  never  used  any  rem- 
edy equal  to  Dr.  Bell's  Pine-Tar-Honey.  It  gives 
quick  and  permanent  relief  in  grip  as  well  as 
coughs  and  colds.     It  makes  weak  lungs  strong.

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. 

Philadelphia,  Baltimore  and  Washing- 
ton have  today  thousands  of  their 
population  ^vllo  ten  j-ears  or  five  years 
ago  were  upon  the  farms  of  the  adjoin- 
ing  country.

From  the  Bluffton,  Ind.,  Banner: 
"Wh"n  tired  out,  go  home.  When  you 
want  fun,  go  home.  When  you  want 
to  show  others  that  you  have  re- 
formed, go  home  and  let  your  family 
get  acquainted  with  the  fact.  When 
you  want  to  show  yourself  at  your 
be.st  go  home  and  do  the  act  there. 
When  you  feel  like  being  extra  liberal 
go  home  rnd  practice  on  your  wife 
and  children  first.  When  you  want  to 
shine  with  extra  brilliancy  go  home 
and  light  up  the  whole  household."

COUNTY  COMMISSIONERS 

Turned  Santa  and  Put  Present  in  Con- 
victed Official's  StccKing. 

Akron,  Ohio,  Dec.  27. — Ex-Coun- 
cilman Jeremiah  Amundson  received 
a     most     acceptable     Christmas     gift 

from  the  county  commissioners.  A 
ftne  of  $500  imposed  on  Amundson 
a  year  ago  for  soliciting  a  bribe  while 
a  member  of  the  city  council  was  re- 
mitted   by    the    commissioners. 

Amundson  lost  his  seat  in  the  coun- 
cil and  is  debarred  from  holding 
public  office  in  Ohio  again. 

He  Is  a  poor  man,  with  a  large 
family,  and  the  commissioners  con- 
sidered that  he  had  been  made  to 
suffer    enough. 

Amundson  offered  his  vote  for  a 
money  consideration  on  a  street  im- 
provement. He  had  planned  to  be  the 
Rcpublcian  candidate  for  mayor  of 
the    city.

TITLE  IS  SECRET, 

But  tlie  British  Ambassador  Has  Written 
a  New  Novel. 

Washington,  Dec.  27.— Sir  Henry 
Mcrtimer  Durand,  the  British  am- 
bassador, has  written  a  new  nov- 
el. Its  title  and  general  character 
are  known  as  yet  only  to  a  few  per- 
sonal friends  of  the  ambassador,  but 
it  will  soon  he  published.  The  am- 
bassador already  has  a  novel  of  Eng- 
lish life,  "Marion  Preveryn,"  to  his 
credit  as  an  author.  It  is  his  purpose 
following  his  retirement  from  public 
life,  to  devote  his  time  to  literary 
pursuits,  which  he  enjoys,  and  for 
which  long  service  as  a  soldier,  a 
jurist  and  a  diplomat,  has  provided

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-

litical Science  association.  Rear  Ad- 
miral Charles  A.  Sperry  had  prepared 
an  address  on  "A  Revision  of  the

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

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

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

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-

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.

FAULTS  IN 
TEACHERS 

President   Rankin   Sets 
Fortli  Defects  and  Sug- 
gests Remedies. 

W.  H.  Skemp  of  Cloquet 

New  President  of 

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.

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

Lafayette    Blissv.    superintendent      of 

the    city    schools    of    Virginia.    Minn.. 

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. 


on  at  Thlrth-fifth  street,  I  saw  her 
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." 


"is  my  great  money  maker.  All  sum- 
mer long  people  tried  to  hit  this  ball 
— it  was  bigger  and  nearer  than  any 
other  target — and  everybody  failed. 
Thousands  of  bullets  were  fired  at  the 
ball,  thousands  of  nickels  were  spent 
on  it;  yet  here  it  is,  still  untouched, 
my  best   breadwinner. 

"All  wise  shooting  gallery  men  have 
a  glass  ball  like  this.  It  makes  such 
a  tempting  target,  yet  it  is  never  hit. 
It    Is    never   hit   because   the   air   that

The  degree  of  gullibility  that  even 
intelligent  and  educated  men  can  at- 
tain when  excited  by  treasure  mania 
was  amusingly  Illustrated  by  a  well 
known  Instance.  A  young  Boer  froiu

You  might  fire  100  shots  at  it,  but,

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. 

"A  pretty  fashion   has   made  its   ap- 
pearance owing  to  Queen  AlexandralJj  i 
Iplea  for  the  birds  of  paradise.     It  is  an 
'imitation  of  ostrich  and  quill  feathers

noiterlng  cautiously  he  saw  a  party  of 
men  removing  boxes  from  a  wagon 
and  burying  them. 

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 
only.  In  confirmation  of  the  story  he 
produced  three  discs  of  gold  which  ap- 
peared to  have  been  struck  on  i»ne  side 
with  an  Imperfect  die. 

His  object  in  calling  on  the  doctor 
was  to  borrow  £50  In  order  to  procure 
a  wagon  and  oxen  to  remove  the 
treasure.  He  was  asked  why  he  did 
not  bring  away  the  portable  coin  and 
thus  make  himself  independent  of  out- 
side financial  aid.  His  explanation 
was  ingenuous.  He  feared  to  bring 
more,  lest  he  might  be  found  with 
them  upon  himl 

It  Is  estimated  that  more  than 
£10,000  has  been  expended  by  the 
various  search  parties  that  have  un- 
dertaken the  search  for  the  Kruger 
millions.

No  firm  or  corporation,  Mr.  Block 
says,  would  for  an  InStaiU  allow  its 
business  to  be  run  as  the  state's  tim- 
ber interests  are  now  conducted,  and 
this  prompts  him  to  recommend  better 
supervision  in  the  shape  of  police  pro- 
tection. As  things  stand  now,  corn* 
promise  payments  are  made  after  the 
timber  is  stolen,  whereas,  if  men  were 
patrollmg  the  tracts  during  the  cutting 
season,  thefts  wouJcl  be  promptly  de- 
tected and  the  perscn*  responsible  ap- 
prehended immediately.  Frequently 
di-scoveries  of  trespasses  are  not  made 
until  years  after  tlepredations  have 
been    committed. 

Similarly    involved    are    the    state's

for  its  reform  schools.  A  resolution  re-

New  York,  Dec.  27.— Prices  of  stocks  to- 
day  rose  buoyantly  on  a  moderate  vol- 
ume of  opening  dealings,  the  trans-coi»-

London  sent  wide  advsjices  in  the  quo-

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 
opened    %e    to    %(0*/4C    higher   at    i3>^<fi^c

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 
ago,  a  very  simple  witness  was  in  the 
box,  and  after  going  through  his  or- 
deal was  ready  to  retire.  One  ques- 
tion   remained.

Stork  Gossip. 
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-

was  begun  last  October,  and  to  date 
the  product  has  been  about  135  tons 
of  mineral.  The  rock  is  yielding  twen- 
ty-seven pounds  of  mineral  per  ton, 
of  which  four  pounds  are  mass  and 
barrel  copper.  The  management  is 
making  every  effort  po.ssible  to  in-

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 
part  of  the  county,  says  the  Arizona 
Republican. 

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 


all  recall  the  sequel  to  the  scene  in  the 
novel.  Gen.  Morcerf  left  the  chamber 
and  blew  out  his  brains.        ^

Mr.  Channing,  who  has  a  wide 
circle  of  friends  In  Duluth.  left  this 
part  of  the  country  a  few  years  ago 
to  become  general  manager  of  the 
Utah  Consolidated  property.  It  was 
while  engaged  in  his  duties  in  Utah 
that  he  received  the  new  appoint- 
ment. The  vacancy  In  Uath  will  be 
filled  by  Joseph  R.  Risque,  who  has 
been  chief  miiiingi  captain  of  the  Cal- 
umet &  Hecla  company  of  Calumet. 

The  Cerro  Do  Paacor  mine  is  one 
of  the  oldest,  largest  and  richest  In 
the  Western  hemisphere.  It  has  been 
a  famous  silver  carap  since  1630,  and 
since  operations  were  begun  there 
430,000,000  ounces  of  silver  have  been 
taken  from  the  property.  The  mine 
is  also  rich  in  copjjer,  and  it  Is  ex- 
pected that  It  will  ;>ecome  one  of  the 
largest  copper-prodi,:cing  properties  in 
the  world.  Six  thousand  men  are  em- 
ployed by  the  cono^rn.  The  mine  is 
located  14,300  feet  above  sea  level,  on

Woojcliopper  Finally  Had  to  Sacrifice 
Luxuriant  Crop  of  Whiskers. 

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

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.

Workhouse  inmates  (izt  Lottery  Fortune 
—Celebrate  With  Champagne. 

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

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

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

you    will    kindly    mind    your    own    busi-  i 
ness    I    shall    be    grateful."     Needless    to  .

a    fireman,     In  ,  ^.fthm    himself  and   made   no   further  re-

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.

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. 
■'They  also  assume  to  prescribe      the

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>^.

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."

made  assistant  engineer  of  the  Phila-

Mr.  Cassatt's  successor.

Indicted  today  by  the  grand  Jury*

The   indictments  are  based   on   what 

are     known     as     the     Prussian     bond 

transactions.    In    which    it    is    alleged

Japanese  Liner  Wrecked 

and  Unknown  Vessel 

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 
Rhoscojyn  Point,  Wales.  Distress 
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. 


Corpse  of  Young  Woman 

Found  on  Grounds 

of  Hospital. 

Boston.  Dec.  28.— The  corpse  of  a 
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.

Vienna,  Dec.  28.— Archduke  Leopold 
'of  Austria,  wh'o  abandoned  his  title 
I  and  became  Herr  Woelfling  in  order  to 
!  marry  an  actress.  Intends,  it  Is  re- 
!  ported  on  high  authority,  to  secure  a 
i  divorce  on  account  of  his  wife's  ec- 
i  centriclty. 

j     For    some    time    Leopold's    wife    was 

''  a    vegetarian.       Then      she      joined      a 

'  colony  of  "nature  people,"  who  live   In 

I  caves,   subsist   on  uncooked  vegetables, 

'  go    practically    without      clothes,      and

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- 
chines at  Isthmus. 

Washington,  Dee.  28.— Revised  speci- 
fications, prepared  by  the  Isthmian 
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.

'men,   are   charged   with    "revolutionary 
activity  and  Illegal  election  agitation.'* 
Further  arrests  and  searches  are  pro- 
ceeding vigorously. 

'     This    is    a    result    of    the    recent    at- 
tempt   on    the    life    of    Vice    Admiral 
Doubasoff,      ex-governor     general       of 
Moscow  and  the  assassination  of  Count

Guided  by  Attorney 
•   General. 


St.  Paul,  Dec.  28.— (Special  to  Th» 
Herald) — Governor  Johnson  today  no- 
tified C.  F.  Hubbard,  president  of  the 
Minnesota  Shippers'  association,  and 
James  Manahan,  its  attorney,,  that  he 
had  decided  to  take  no  action  on  the 
charges  filed  by  them  against  the 
state  t>oard  of  railroad  and  ware» 
house   commmlssioners. 

The  governor  states  that,  on  con- 
sultation with  the  attorney  generai. 
he  has  arrived  at  the  conclusion  that 
the  attorney  general  is  the  legal  ad- 
viser of  the  commission,  which  wai» 
within  its  rights  in  refusing  Mr.  Man- 
ahan permission  to  take  part  in  con- 
ducting examinations  at  the  recent 
rate   hearing. 

Mr.  Manahan's  charges  were  that 
the  commission  had  purposely  favored 
the  railroads  at  the  hearings,  and 
that  its  members  were  in  other  re- 
spects guilty  of  neglect  of  the  state'* 
interests.  He  also  charged  malfea- 
aance.

property  in  Mexico.  The  officials  an- 
nouncement has  not  been  made,  but  it 
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.

WILLOPEN 
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.

St.  Paul.  Dec.  28.— (Special  to  The

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.

West     Depere,     disappeared     over       a

yet   been    found.     Mrs.    Haessler   fears  j 
he  has  committed  suicide.  j 

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.

Hise,  of  the  University  of  Wisconsin, 
while  skating  on  Lake  Mondoa,  Christ- 
mas day,  broke  through  the  ice  at  a 
point  where  the  water  is  forty  feet 
deep,  and  for  some  time  remained  in 
the  water  until  help  came.  He  was 
pulled  from  his  perilous  position  by  a 
student,  named  Tercy  Nicholson,  of 
Baltimore.

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.

neither  did,  nor  could  itL  any  way

where  a  conference   of   the   high  officials 
of  the  new  copper  company  is  to  be  held 
next   week.  „   >^„ 

He  was  in  a  great  rush  when  seen  by 
a  representative  of  The  Herald  tnis 
morning.  The  train  waa  laie  in  getting 
m  and  Mr.  Ryan  was  late  for  his  meet- 
ing, so  he  talked  very  briefly  and  hur- 
rie^ily.     What  he  said  was  caught  on  the 

"is  Cananea  destined  to  become  one  of 
the  greatest  copper  camps  in  the  coun- 
try? Well.  I  should  say  so.  It  will  take 
some  time,  of  cour.-^e.  before  the  produc- 
tion can  be  made  as  great  as  some  ot 
the  longer  eslablislied  camps  but  m  a 
comparatively  short  time  more  copper 
will  be  mined  at  Cananea  than  in  many 
regions  where  the  mines  have  been  oper- 
at.=>d  for  a  long  time. 

••Yes.  everything  in  the  Butte  camp  is 
going  on  nicely  and  I  was  pleased  witb 
what  I  saw  In  the  Micli.gan  copper  coun- 
try on  this  trip,  although  I  was  so  bus'V 
that  I  didn't  get  around  as  much  as  1 
would   have   liked   to.  ^   ,   , 

••The  price  of  copper  metal  la  certainly 
good  just  now.  I  hardly  look  for  a  de- 
pression,    the    demand    Is    too    great    all 

*'Mr!'"Ryan  declined  to  say  anything 
about  tlia  immediate  affairs  of  ttie 
Greene-Cananea  company  or  the  probable

which  is  such  a  domincmt  power  In  the

He  wouldn't  say  anything  more,  he

not  sent  in.  in  time  for  the  Christmas

jhave   the    dolls   are   requested    to    send 

them    to    the   public    library    tomorrow

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.

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.

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.

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 

SURPRISES  8ANKtRS. 

Chicago,  Dec.  28.— Bankers  generally 
throughout  the  city  said  that  David  R. 
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 
the  "inside  workings"  of  La  Salle  street 
was  shown  by  their  expressions  when 
told   of   the   fact. 

Although  Mr.  Forgan  asserted  that  he 
did  not  inund  to  draw  upon  the  present 
force   of   his   brother's   bank   for  his   new

*^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.

officials,  he  admitted  that  he  expected  to 
gain  part  of  the  patronage  enjoyed  now 
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 
business  now  larried  on  by  the  old  bank, 
through  personal  friendship,  but  tliat  will

er and  njysolf, 

"I  have  refused  to  take  any  active  steps 
toward  organizing  tlie  new  bank  until 
after  completely  severing  my  connection 
with  the  old." 

"Will  your  brother  be  interested,  finan- 
cially,  in   your  new   bank?'    was  asked. 

"Not  as  an  officer  or  director,"  was 
the  answer,  "but  he  may  be  a  stock- 
holder." 

BOY  HEIR  INlnSERY

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.

passage  money.

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.

I  partment  to  some  other  department. 
}     The  arguments  Schmitz  advances  in 
}  affidavits  attached   to  this   motion  are 
1  that   he   wants  a   "speedy    trial"    com- 
Ipleteiy  separate  and  apart  from  Ruef. 
i  The     affidavits     state   "that   by  reason

19th  and  result  thereof,  and  of  the  re- 
I  cent    heavy    rains,    the    said    city    and 
I  county    is    In    a    most    deplorable    con- 
I  dition,   and  affiant  should   therefore  be 
j  permitted  to  have   an   immediate  trial, 
I  so  that  he  may,  as  mayor,  devote  him- 
'self   to  alleviating  said   conditions  and

office," 

The  Japanese  oontroversy  and  other

OFFERS  WIFE 
FOR  SECURITY 

Novel  Plan  Proposed  by 

Omaha  Man  to  Secure 

Loan. 

Omaha.  Neb.,  Dec.  28.— James  Bean,  m 
railroad  man,  startled  the  office  of  the 
Omaha  Loan  and  Mortgage  company  yes- 
terday by  offering  to  leave  his  wife  with 
the  company  for  three  days  as  security 
for  a  loan  he  was  trying  to  negotiate. 
Mrs.  Bean  accompanied  her  husband  to 
the  offices  of  the  company  and  express- 
ed her  willingness   to   be  turned  over  aa 

security  for  the  loan.  "I've  just  (X)nie 
in  oft  the  road,  and  I'm  dead  broke," 
said  Bean.  "I  have  got  to  have  some 
money  at  once.  I  could  give  you  a  mort- 
gage on  household  goods  If  I  had  any 
here,  but  I  haven't.  I  have  no  property 
of  any  kind  to  offer  as  security  for  the 
loan  I  want  you  to  make  me.  but  if  you 
will  accept  my  wife  here  for  a  few  day«, 
she  will  be  willing  to  be  turned  over  to 
the  company  and  held  till  the  money  la 
paid  back." 

Officers  of  the  company  declined  Beau's 
unique  proposition.

this.  Miss  Person  attempted  to  wrench 
her  hand  free,  but  In  doing  so  caught 
her  other  hand  between  the  rollers

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.

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.

Company    Employes 

Have  Social  Time. 

The  second  annual  banquet  of  the 
Gowan  -  Peyton  -  Twohy  company, 
wholesale  grocers,  was  held  at  the 
Spalding  last  evening.  It  was  a  very 
enjoyable  event,  about  sixty  persons 
participating,  of  whom  twenty-six 
were  traveling  salesmen  for  the 
house. 

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

company,  was  among  those  present, 
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, 
W.  R.  Peyton,  secretary  and  trea- 
surer of  the  company,  was  not  able 
to   attend   the   banquet. 

The  annual  banquet  is  always  held 
during  the  holiday  season,  when  all

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.

violence.  He  has  once  been  expelled  for

banished  to  a  convict  eetllement,  but. 
returning,  he  resumed  his  despotic  rule 
over  the  university  and  with  the  dreade^S

defied   the  powers. 

Lagana,  who  is  a  Sicilian,  heads  a  pow- 
erful group  of  anarchist  students,  who 
raise  disorders  in  the  lecture  room  on 
every  possible  occasion.

in  mortal  fear  of  the  bully,  except  Ros-

HOTEL  GOSSIP. 


THE  WEATHER.. 


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 


The  people  of  tftie  North  and  the  peo- 
ple of  the  Souttr  hUlve  different  Ideas

George  of  Richmond!/Va.,  at  the  Spald- 
ing. "Constitutionally  Hpeaklng.  the

ises. Could  we  in  the  South,  like  you 
people  ,up  here,  believe  the  United  States 
an  empire  or  a  natlo^.  after  the  accept- 
ed European  defliutioh  of  that  word.  I 
could  agree  with  President  Roosevelt, 
Secretary  Root  a^d  the  Northern  news- 
papers in  t'heir  declaration  that  the  wel- 
fare of  the  people  must  not  suffer  be- 
cause some  state  government  would  not 
do  its  duty,  and  numerous  other  nonsen- 
sical experssions. 

"What  people?  The  constitution  recog- 
nizes chiefly  the  pe.>ple  cf  a  sovereign 
stale.  It  is  foolish  to  suppose  they  would 
legislate  to  hurt  themselves.  States  do 
not  commit  suicide.  The  North  in  the 
last  century  was  filled  up  by  Europeans 
who  had  lived  under  a  nation,  and  they 
brought  here  their  ideas  cf  government, 
and  these  are  the  accepted  ideas  at  pres- 
ent. The  European  thought  he  was  com- 
ing to  a  country  reaching  from  the  At- 
lantic to  the  Pacific,  the  tlreat  Lakes  to 
the  Gulf  of  Mexico,  all  acknowledging 
Washington  as  the  one  government,  the 
stale  authorities  being  created  merely 
to  assist  Washington  to  carry  out  its 
laws,  and  thus  help  it  in  government. 
And    today   that   is  the  prevalent   idea.

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

due   to   the   foreign   population."

A  New  York  speaker  pathetically  tells  of  the  time 
when  Rockefeller  was  too  poor  to  buy  oysters.  And  now 
he  can  buy  all  there  is,  but  his  digestion  is  so  poor  that 

he  couldn't  eat  half  of  them.

The  attitude  of  Massachusetts  on  the  race  problem 
suggests  a  happy  solution  of  the  matter:  colonize  the 
negroes  in  that  state,  where  they  are  assured  the  best 
treatment  and  the  fullest  sympathy.

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. 
Yo'  doan'  reach  Into  de  titummick  of  yo' 
subjeck;  but  yo'  Jes'  argafy.  an'  argufy. 
Yo'  doan'  locate,  Richard  Thompson 
Jenkins,  yo'  doan'  locate!"

Woman  at  Hei  Best. 

The  Bvstander:  A  woman's  character 
and  powers  are  finest  r.bout  forty.  A 
woman  has  gained  everything  at  forty 
and  lost  nothing;  she  is  fit  the  full  vigor 
of  her  intellectual  powers,  she  has  ac- 
nu'red  experience  and  judgment,  and  is 
not  far  enough  away  from  youth  to 
have  become  unsympathetic  even  to  its 
wildest   vagaries. 

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 
to  test  her  knowledge  when  she  was  be- 
ginning to  talk  fluently,  pointed  to  her 
f^et  and  asked  what  s:ie  called  them. 
"Ve'n  I  has  shoes  on  vey  Is  feet."  was 
the  answer.  "Ven  vey  la  bare  vey  la 
Trilbies." 


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 
man  a  romanticist,  said  passionately  to 
his  girl:  'Darling.  It  shall  be  my  life's 
one  purpose  to  surround  you  with  every 
comfort  and  to  anticipate  and  gratify 
your  every  wish.'  The  girl,  a  realist, 
smiled  faintly  as  she  answered.  "Ou, 
Jack,  how  good  of  you.  ajid  all  on  $9  a

Fixing  the  Blame. 

New  York  World:  J.  J.  Hill  has  fin- 
ally laid  the  responsibility  for  the 
Western  coal  "famine"  upon  the  dealer. 
Why  not  go  further  and  blame  it  on 
the  consumer,  who  ought  to  have 
bought  his  coal  two  years  ago.  when 
the  railroads  were  not  so  busy?

The     moon     of     Galilee     comes     forth

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?

yards,  and  for  the  length  of  th6  street 
was  surprised  to  see  every  man  his  wife

around  and  look  after  her.

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

jier    during    the    winter    months,    and 

I  the   branch   packing   houses  all   report

Denounces   Giving 

of  Passes. 


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.

Chicago,    Dec.    28.— W.    J.    Atkinson, 

proprietor     of     the     defunct     Lincoln

!  conference    between    Attorney    Ringer, 

j  acting    for    the    receiver,    and    United 

!  States  Marshal  Hoy.     It   was  reported 

:  by    the   marshal    and.  the  attorney    to 

'  Judge    Landis    that   Atkinson    had   not

in   adjusting   the   affairs   of   the   bank. 

and     the    marshal     declared     that     his 

office    could    not    spare    a    deputy      to 

remain   with  Atkinson   night  and   day. 


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

After   Dinner,  Last   N'iKht.   Out 

of  the  Very   ^ame  Box,  Too, 


It   iMD't  the  Ci^ai' — It'a  the  Stomach. 

Every  smoker  has  experienced  this 
peculiar  condition  of  the  stomach  and 
fiver,  the  result  usually  of  Imperfect 
digestion  of  food.  And  the  blame  la 
usually  put  on  the  cigar  and  not  where 
it   belongs. 


Such    men    are    usually     high     livers, 

hard    workers    mentally,    living     under 

high    pressure    anc    high    draught,    and 

;  it  doesn't  take  a  great  deal  to  disorder 

]  the  stomac  h  or  render  the  liver  torpid. 

I     They  should  make  it  a  practice  to  use 

I  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, golden  seal,  etc.  There  is  no 
secret  In  their  pieparation.  They  are 
absolutely  pure  aird  therefore  all  the 
world  uses   them. 

No  matter  how  ilsordered  the  stom- 
ach may  be,  it  will  right  Itself  if  given 
the  chance.  Stuart's  Dyspepsia  Tablets 
digest  food  when?  the  stomach  can't, 
give  the  abu.sed  stomach  and  Intestines 
a  rest,  and  offer  renewed  strength  to 
the   worn   out  glands   and   muscles.

"Eastward  Don  Emlllo  Claro  s  beautiful 
residencft  burned  like  a  beacon  fire  In 
the  night.  Southward  the  town  lay,  and 
one  thought  of  De  Quiney's  'Essay  on 
Roast  Pig.'  Northward  was  open  country 
—that  is,  miles  of  walnut  trees,  and  In 
the  distance  the  Andes;  and  to  the  west 
was  our  residence;  and  behind  It  the 
rfsidence  of  Don  Adolph  Eastman,  and 
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- 
trol, and  that  we  had  lost  everything  we 
had  In  the  world.  I  went  Into  one  wing 
with  Mr.  Hamilton  and  we  threw  bedding 
out  of  the  window.  The  second  earth- 
quake came  then,  and  as  the  walls  con- 
tinued to  crash,  we  abandoned  the  house 
and  so  many  things  we  loved  to  the 
flames.  We  had  no  time  for  regrets. 
Lecky  and  I  were  sent  into  the  town  to 
telephone  to  Valparaiso  and  Santiago 
that  all  the  boys  were  .safe.  But  what  a 
sight  met  us.  Limache  was  a  thing  of 
the  past;  not  a  house  was  standing,  and 
what  remained  of  the  people  were  gath- 
ered In  the  ruins  of  the  station,  horror- 
stricken  and  in  despair,  for  the  average 
Chilian  knows  little  of  God.  To  teleplione 
was  of  course  impossible,  so  we  returned. 
We  met  our  Chilian  music  master,  a 
widower  with  a  lot  of  children,  running 
along  the  road,  hatless— not  knowing 
where  he  was— he  had  lost  everything. 
We  found  Surgeon  Majorazo,  the  medical 
attendant  of  the  college,  poking  in  the 
ruins,  trying  to  find  where  our  cook  was 
buried." 

The  letter  teems  with  human  Interest 
Incidents,  and  It  Is  doubtful  whether  a 
trained  correspondent  of  metropolitan  pa- 
pers could  have  seen  more  of  the  in- 
teresting thing.=!  in  connection  with  the 
Chilian  earthquake  than  this  son  of  a 
Dublin  physician,  who  had  been  in  at- 
tendance at  one  of  the  colleges  there. 

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.

Austrian  Trying  to  Cover 

31.000  Miles  in  Seven 

Years. 

Morrlsvllle.  Pa.  Deo.  2s.— Anton  Hae- 
laln  is  walkmg  around  the  world.  He 
must  travel  in  every  country  and  cover 
31,000  miles  before  S*;ptember,  1308,  push- 
ing a  cart  with  his  wife  and  daughter 
in  it,   the  whole  weighing  480  pounds. 

He  arrived  here  the  other  day,  after 
traveling  27,4flO  miles,  and  with  a  year 
and  ten  months  to  travel. 

Haslain  left  Vienna,  Sept.  12,  1900,  on 
a  wager.  He  is  known  ae  the  champion 
walker  of  the  world,  having  wone  a 
number  of  walking  matches  in  Europe. 
Several  medals  were  present t-d  to  him  In 
England.  One  is  for  walking  62  miles 
In  11  hours,  pushing  his  heavy  cart  be- 
fore  him. 

In  the  early  part  of  1900  Haslaln  made 
a  wager  with  the  Vienna  Athletio  club 
that  he  oould  walk  the  globe  in  seven 
years,  walking  at  least  81,000  miles.  With 
his  wife,  3-year-old  daughter  and  pet 
dog,  and  without  a  cent,  he  started  on 
his  journey.  He  is  41  years  of  age,  and 
his   wife   is  34.     He  speaks   22   languages. 

By  selling  souvenir  postals  of  himself 
and  photographs,  which  he  takes  along 
the   road,   he  arns  his  living. 

Haslaln  must  mall  a  postcard  to  the

LOSES  REASON 

Loves  Girl,  Is  Rejected 

and  Tries  to  Slay 

Lover. 

Paris.  Dec.  28.-A  strange  tragedy 
In  real  life  has  occurred  here.  M. 
Verdouelle  is  the  managing  proprietor 
of  Important  metallurgical  works  In 
Plais.ince    quarter    of    Paris.      He 


the 

Is  a  bachelor,  and  had  engaged  as 
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 
blm.  It  appears  that  Beatrice  has 
been    In    the    habit    of    visiting      her 


mother's  tomb  several  times  a  week, 
and  afterwards  to  meet  a  young  man 
there  in  the  midst  of  the  cemetery 
graves  Verdouelle,  who  was  really 
Infatuated^  resolved  to  watch.  He 
saw  Beatrice  kneel  by  the  tomb  and 
afterwards  meet  a  man  who  Is  none 
other  than  Jean  Deplet,  his  traveler. 
In  jealous  rage  Verdouelle  rushed  up 
and  dragged  away  the  weeping  girl, 
afterwards  discharging  Deplet  from 
his  employment.  Beatrice  confessed 
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 
week    as    a    bookkeeper,    but    Deplet, 
owing    to    Verdouelle's    replies    to    all 
,  inquiries    about    his    character,    is    un- 
able  to   find   employment.     The   lovers 
!  share    their    slender    means    until    they 
I  can    afford    to    marry.      Beatrice    was  i 
I  expecting    to   become   a   mother.     This 
meant     loss     of     employment     to     her. 


AMERICAN  TO 
WED  PRINCESS 

California  Historian  Has 

Romance  in  Realm 

of  the  Czar. 


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  Northerns  to  a  low  score. 

The    Columbias    are    expected    to    give 
the    Northerns    a    hard    game    on    New

The  only  team  wliich  the  Northerns 
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.

Portage  Lakes  Lose  One

Houghton,  Mich.,  Dec.  28.— The  Portage 
Lake  team  was  given  a  terrific  drubbing 
by  Calumet  here  last  evening,  being  out- 
played and  outclassed  at  every  stage   of 

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- 
tered. 

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 
work.  Two  minutes  before  the  whistle 
sounded  BeHefeullle  made  the  final  score. 
The  game  was  very  rough  at  times,  a 
number  of  penalties  being  inflicted  by 
Referee  Tom  Melville.

Another  rule  which  has  caused  three 
other  games  in  the  A.  H.  Smith  event 
to  be  thrown  out,  la  the  one  which  saye 
that  in  tlie  absence  of  any  player  from 
a  rink,  the  substitute  shall  not  be 
a  higher  class  man  than  the  regular 
member.  In  the  past  this  has  bctn  the 
subject  of  no  little  trouble,  as  the 
players  In  some  rinks  were  repeatedly 
absent,  and  their  places  wolild  be  filled 
with  some  A  class  man  whose  pres- 
ence was  worth  more  than  the  addi- 
tional point  which  had  to  be  made. 

The  games  committee  Intends  to  en- 
force these  rules  this  year,  and  by  tak- 
ing an  early  and  firm  stand  In  the 
matter  will  probably  save  itself  pUnty

Chicago,  Dec.  2S. — Western  league

are  holding  their  annual  meeting  hero

magnates,  are  tlie  only  matters  sched-

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-

roughness  of  the  game.

the  stranger  to  watch  his  dress-suit  case 

until  he  returned. 

"Sure,"  said  the  obliging  young  man, 
•TU  watch  it."  ..,..,, 

When  the  cattleman  returned  to  the 
depot  an  hour  later,  no  grip  and  no  boy 
were  to  be  seen.  He  reported  tlie  matter 
to  Depot  Policeman  Clark,  but  fell  so 
cheap  over  his  experience  that  he  refused 
to  give   his   name. 

"1  have  found  out  that  I  am  a  sucker, 
he  said,  "and  that  the  boy  is  a  thief,  and 
the  If'sson  is  worth  something.     The  next 
time  1  leave  a  grip,   I  will  see  that  1  do 
not  take  any  chances." 

The  number  of  ptople  who  leave  grips 
around  in  this  manner  Is  astonishing,  ac- 
cording to  Officer  Clark,  who  has  been 
on  the  depot  squad  for  years. 

"Almost  every  train  that  goes  out 
somebody  comes  to  me  and  says  that 
Bome  stranger  has  asked  them  to  watch 
hl-<  grip,  but  that  they  have  to  leave  on 
the  next  train  and  can  not  wait.  1  then 
put  them  In  the  cloakroom  and  when  the 
owner  returns  he  raises  a  storm  about 
having  his  grips  stolen.  In  spite  of  this 
carelessness.  It  Is  a  rare  thing  for  a 
grip  to  be  stolen,  although  everybody 
that  leaves  his  property  around  In  this 
way  ought  to  have  It  stolen  once  or  twice 
to  teach  them  a  lesson."

EMPEROR  FRANZ  JOSEF 
IS  DECEIVED^BY  ROGUES. 

Budapest,  Dec.  28. — Emperor  Fran»^ 
Josef  had  an  unusual  adventure  the 
other  day  while  walking  In  the  gar- 
dens of  the  Hofburg  as  early  as  6 
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«- 
I  them  look  like  veterans.

INJElSlON 

County  Comitii!^ioners 
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.

i  A  VALUABLE  HOME  RECIPE 

Will  Break  up  a  Cold  in  Twenty-Four  Hours  or  Cure 
Any  Cough  That  is  Curable. 


:: 


Mix  one-half  onnoe  of  concentrated  Oil  of  Pine,  with  two  onncem  of 
glycerine  and  a  half  pint  of  good  ^vhinkey.  Shake  thoroughly  and  u«e  In 
tablespoon  doses  every  four  hours. 

Dr.  A.  AVallace  of  Philadelphia,  the  renowned  throat  and  lane;  upe- 
elalist,  who  established  a  camp  for  consumptives  In  the  pine  woods  of 
Maine,  and  whose  remarkable  cares  there  attracted  international  atten- 
tion, declares  that  the  above  formula  Is  one  of  the  very  best  remedies 
obtainable  for  an  acute  cold  and  that  it  will  strenRthen  the  lungH,  re- 
lieve coushs  and  heal  the  bronchial  tubes.  Also,  that  it  will  cure  any 
case  of  long  troable  not  too  far  advanced  If  the  patient  will  assist  by 
plenty  of  outdoor  exercise.  Inhaling  deep,  long  breaths  every  few  min- 
utes. 

The  Ingredients  are  procurable  of  any  good  prescription  druggist  and 
easily  mixed  at  home  and  it  should  take  its  place  as  one  of  the  most 
valued  remedies  In  the  family  medicine   chest. 

Inquiry  at  one  of  the  leading  druggists  elicited  the  information  that 
concentrated  Oil  of  Pine  Is  put  up  for  dispensing  only  in  half-ouuce  vials 
securely  sealed  in  round  wooden  ca.<«es  iuteuded  to  protect  it  from  heat 
and  light.  Only  the  cheaper  extracts  are  sold  in  bulk,  but  owing  to  iheir 
impurities  and  the  quantity  that  would  be  necessary  to  be  efltectlve  they 
only  produce  nausea  and  arc  useless  as  a  medicine. 

Concentrated  Oil  of  Pine  has  also  proven  a  perfect  nentrallilng  agent 
for  aric  acid,  relieving  most  obstinate  cases  of  rheumatism  and  kidney 
trouble.  For  this  purpose  the  treatment  i«  very  simple)  a  few  drops  on

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. 
There  are  many  fashinonable  homes  in 
this  section.

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

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.

VOLCANOES

Eruptions  Throw  Up  Is- 
lands   V^here    the 
Ocean  Rolled. 

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-

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

On  the  layer  of  ashes  which  overpprc 
the  rocks  a  thin  crust  had  formed  which 
was  not  very  strong,  and  as  a  conse-

Kne^-ifeep  in  ashes,  raising  clouds  of

For  ten  years  the  young  Bogoslof  contin- 
ued to  roar  and  belch  forth  clouds  of  sul- 
phurous steam,  earning  for  itself  the 
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

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 

than  the  food  should  have  nourished  it.         i 

The  usual  remedy  for  this  delayed  pass- ' 

age  (called  Constipation)  is  to  take  a  big  I 

dose  of  Castor  Oil.

It  does  not  help  the  Cause  of  delay  a 
trifle.  It  does  slacken  the  Bowel-Muscles, 
and  weakens  them  for  their  next  task. 

Another  remedy  is  to  take  a  strong 
"Physic,"  like  Salts.  Calomel,  Jalap,  Phos- 
phate of  Sodium,  Aperient  Water,  or  any  of 
these  mixed. 

What  does  the  "Physic"  do? 

It  merely  flushes-out  the    Bowels  with 
a  waste  of  Digestive  Juice,  set  flowing  into 
the  Intestines  through  the  tiny  suckers.

They  do  not  waste  any  precious  fluid  of

They  do  not  relax  the  Intestines  by  greas-

They  simply  stimulate  the  Bowel-

Child  labor  In  the  coal  fields  was  a  fea- 
ture of  the  discuslon. 

"We  have  in  Pennsylvania  a  mining 
law  prohibiting  the  employment  of 
boys  under  16  years  of  age  In  the  mines 
and  of  boys  ynder  14*outslde  the  mines. 

"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 
a  compulsory  educt.tion  law  enforced 
by  truan  oflicet-  li  every  district, 
and  this  law  is  lt?elf  a  bar  to  the 
abuses  of  child  labor,  of  which  the 
Child  Labor  committee  complains. 

"Mr.  Lovejoy,  secretary  of  the  Na- 
tional Child  Labor  committee,  claimed 
that  12,800  boys  under  14  years  of  age 
were  at  work  In  the  tntnes  and  break- 
ers. The  official  report  of  the  Penn-

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 
ages  arose  from  the  fact  that  75  per 
cent  of  them  weru  born  In  foreign

nished to  the  employing  operators

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 
WORE  POLjCEMAN  OUT. 

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 
envied  Snarley,  just  AH  he  envied  the 
man  who  left  the  billet  before  him. 
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-

found  a  large  stock  of  strawberry  jam 
made  by  her  head  gardener's  wife  had 
disajppeared.  She  had  dismissed  several 
English  servants  for  robbing  her.  Sho 
had  engaged  a  French  chef  and  several 
other  foreign  servants. 

The  French  chef  began  work  by  throw- 
big  away  all  the  home-made  strawberry 
Jam  so  that  he  might  give  a  big  order 
to  a  shop  and  get  his  "commission."  The 
Prevention  of  Corruption  bill,  which  was 
passed  this  season,  comes  into  force  in 
the  new  year,  and  will  make  It  a  crimi- 
nal offense  to  give  or  take  secret  com- 
missions. The  number  of  butlers,  stew- 
ards, farm  managers  and  others  who 
take  hotels  with  the  "savings"  filched 
from  the  pockets  of  British  peers  is  like- 
ly  to    decrease.

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

Twelve  Years  of  Misery— Doctor

SPEEDILY  CURED  BY 
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

He  pointed  out  that  while  a  breakwater  this  end  of  the  harbor  being  de.id.  -»  Ice 
was  recommended  by  the  board  for  the  would  go  out  in  the  spring  in  plenty  of 
Superior  entry,  no  reason  why  a  break-  time  for  the  opening  of  navigation,  he 
water  would  not  be  equally  feasible  for  |  maintained.  There  was  not  room  to  build 
the  Duluth  canal.  If  necessary  there  it  is  |  the  inner  breakwater  by  the  Duluth  en- 
twenty  times  as  necessary  at  Duluth,  for  I  trance  he  said  in  response  to  an  inijuiry 
twenty  vessels  pass  through  this  canal  I  made  by  George  Spencer, 
to  one  passing  through  the  other.  He  Capt.  Wolvin  admitted  that  the  Inner 
thought  it  wa.s  a  question  of  dollars  and  Uircakwater  idea  would  be  an  experi- 
cents  with  the  engineers,  and  that  the  !  j^j.^^  tried  here  for  the  liist  time  and 
improvement  at  the  Superior  entry  was ,  Q^pt  McDougall  declared  that,  in  view 
recommended  because  the  government  ^f  ^jjjg  f^(-x,  \x  would  be  foolish  to  con- 
work   there   has   not   been   completed   yet.  |  struct   it    for   experiments   In   a   matter 


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 
unfit  for  dock   or  other  harbor  improve 


of  such  very  great  importance  would  be 
a    very    poor    plan. 

George  H.  ("rosby  said  that  In  a  con- 
versation with  Congressman  Eurton  a 
short  time  ago  he  was  told  that  no  Im- 
provements at  Duluth  other  than  the 
deepening  of  the  outer  end  of  the  canal 
would  be  recommended  at  this  session 
of  congress.  Nothing  other  than  the 
Immediate  necessities  will  be  consid- 
ered, said  Mr.  Crosby. 

Capt    Wolvin   asserted  that   in  a  con- 
versation    with      Congressman     Burton 
,  he  was  informed  differently—

distributed  good  things  to  eat  to  the 
children.  Bert  Martin  enacted  the  role 
of  Santa  Claus  and  his  charax:terization 
was  admirable.  Pri>ir  to  the  grand  rlis- 
tributlon,  the  members  of  the  Sunday 
school  gave  an  r^propriate  program  of 
music  and  recitatimis.

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-

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.

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.

New  York,  Dec.  2S.— First  prices  of 
stocks  today  showed  small  and  mixed 
changes  from  last  nght  except  in  a  few 
of  the  most  active  speculative  favorites. 
Reading  advanced  %  and  Great  Northern 
preferred  opened  at  a  gain  of  1^,  but 
immediately  fell  back  to  below  last  night. 
Northern  Pacific  ran  off  1%  and  Canadian 
Pacific   IV4. 

The    market    fell   away   quite    generally 
from    the    opening   figures    in    sympathy 
w;th  the  realizing  in  St.  Paul,  Union  Pa-  ! 
ciflc    and    the    Hill    stocks.      After    reces-  I 
sions  had  been  made  in  these  stocks  and  j 
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 
or  in  part,  but  the  entire  market  showed 
keen  sympathy  with  the  movement  of  the 
Hill  group.     St.  Paul  preferred  and  Dele- 
ware    &    Hudson    hardened,    1%.      Prices 
were   below      the   best   In  all   cases   at  11 
o'clock,    the   realizing   of   Reading   wiping 
out   most  of  its  rise 

The  movement  of  the  call  loan  rato 
ihowed  the  effect  of  the  preparations  for 
the  yearly  setllemerts  and,  with  its  rise 
to  18  per  cent,  .«tocks  receded  to  below 
last  night's  level,  '.rhe  loss  in  Northern 
Pacific  reached  3%;  Canadian  Pacific,  St. 
Louis  &  Ban  Franci:?co  first  preferred  1% 
each;  Reading  second  preierred  IVz  a-nd 
St.  Paul  and  Great  Northern  Ore  certi- 
ficates 1   each.     Bonds  were  heavy. 

Comparatively  little  business  was  trans- 
acted betv.'een  12  and  1  o'clock  and  mo.~t 
of  it  was  at  conce:?sions  from  previous 
transactions.     St.  Paul  yielded  1%. 

A  vigorous  demand  for  Reading  re- 
leased the  market  for  its  apathy  and 
there  was  a  general  rise.  Reading  toucn- 
ed  137%.  a  gain  of  1%  and  the  early  losses 
in    other    stocks    were    pretty    well    made 

The  market  closed  dull  and  fairly 
Btcadv.  Pennsylvania's  fractional  de- 
cline on  the  news  of  the  death  of  Presi- 
dent Cassatt  did  not  more  than  halt  tae 
hardening  tendency.  Atchison  rose  1% 
over  last  night.  There  was  some  hesi- 
tation in  the  late  dealings,  but  de- 
clines met  resistance.  Minneapolis.  St. 
Paul  &  Soo  fell  214  and  W^ibash,  pre- 
ferred, 1%.  American  Ice  dropped  7.

I  The       market       showed       considerable 

I  strength   all   through   the   session,   not- 

I  withstanding  firmness  in  money.  Osce-

realized  after  the  turn  of  the  year,  we

There    are    no    signs   of    it    easing    up,

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.

Farmers  Had  to  Burn 

Fences  and  Buildings 

for  Fuel. 

NORTH  DAKOTA. 
Minot— The  shifts  to  which  some  men 
have  been  put  on  account  of  the  scarcity 
of  coal  was  shown  by  the  arrival  here 
of  H.  M.  Smith  and  J.  E.  Shaver,  farm- 
ers who  reside  nine  miles  east  of  Glen- 
burn  Each  had  driven  a  four-horse  team 
nearly  fifty  miles  in  the  hope  of  securing 
enough   coal   to   keep  their  families   from 

Smith  said  that  when  he  left  home  his 
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  men  tried  to  obtain  coal  at  Deering, 

but    there    was    Just    one    carload    in    the 

town,  and  that  arrived  the  morning  they 

got   there.     The   car  was  surrounded     by 

citizens    begging    for    coal,    and    the    two

"I  have  a  case  pending,  which  will 
reach  the  supreme  court  at  Its  next 
teim.  Involving  the  validity  of  the  rules 
of  the  Duluth  board  of  trade,  but  this 
case  cannot  be  determ.ned  before  the

of  the  legislature  to  remedy  this  evil  is 
far  more  ample   than  that  of  the  courts.

validity,  in  every  respect  of  our  present

it  would  require  but  little  amendment. 
I  think,  however,  that  the  timber  board 
should  be  piven  a  little  more  discretion 
In  the  performance  of  their  duties,  and 
that  if  they  had  a  wider  range  of  au-

sealing  of  the  state's  timber  ^'Id  upO" 
permits.     The  present  law  is  antiquated. 

The   attorney   general   recommends  that 

the  «tate  seal*  of  timber  and  his  deputies 

,  should  be  put  on  a  salary  basis  to  avoid 

i  favoritism    to    the    parties    who    pay    tho 

i  largest  fees.

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

NO  BALL,  SAYS^  DAVIDSON. 

Madison,  Wis.,  Dec.  28. — Governor 
Davidson  desires  that  no  inaugural 
ball  be  held  this  year,  and  unless  he 
is  urged  to  have  such  a  function 
there  will  -be  none.  He  would  much 
rather  hold  a  big  reception  in  the 
state  capitol.  The  Inaugural  ball  costs 
the  state  about   $2,000. 

John  O.  Kemp,  state  treasurer,  is 
Interested  in  the  Shiller  Cafe  com-

Madison  already  has  eighty-eight  sa-
