SAILED FOR WILDS

Aeronauts Gave America II’s Course as Direct for Ca- nadian Wilderness. A second relief party will be sent out Monday night by the St. Louis Aero Club, following the réceipt of a message from the missing balloon America II, the first since it left this city a week ago. The delayed dispatch indicates, in the belief of President Albert Bond Lambert, that the lost. balloonists will be found ‘n ths wildernese between Sault Ste. Marie and James Bay. The message, dropped last Tuesday, was signed by Alan R. Hawley, pilot, and Augustus Post, ai@. sf the America II, and was found py a farmer several miles north of Tnompsonville. Mich., which is near the northern extremity of the southern peninsula of the State.’ It was addressed to Lambert and read: “Thompsonville, Mich.—America § II passed over this place Tuesday. Course, due north. HAWLEY AND POST.” Going Toward Wilderness. Other information gathered in Thomp- sonville, in response to telegrams of in- quiry sent broadcast by the St. Louis Club, is to the effect that the America II crossed the narrows between the two Michigans, reaching St. Ignace, on the Upper Peninsula, at dark. The aero- nauts, who were flying low, are report: ed to have talked with persons eight miles north of St. Ignace, who saw the name of the balloon distinctly. At St. Ignace, it is reported, the course of the aerostat had veered to the northeast, a course which would carry it east of Lake Superior, past Sault Ste, Marie and into the wilder- ness north of the Canadian Pacific Rafl- road. r - and ee him “up.

People of Missouri. We Appeal to Intelligent Voters to help our State University and Agricultural College by voting for AMENDMENT NO. 11 (The Last Amendment on the Ballot) at the coming election—and we ask you not only this amendment yourself, but to enlist your friends in this work—agitate the necessity of making our State University independent, so that it can plan and work not alone for the present but for the future as well. The University is now supported by biennial appropria- tions of the Legislature—its income consequently fluctuates. AMENDMENT NO. 11 (The Last Amendment onthe Ballot) will give the University and Agricultural College a fixed revenue by devoting a fund of 3-10 of a mill per dollar of the assessed valuation of Missouri preperty to its support. It will not increase the cost of the University to the State, but will give it a definite sum of money each year to work with—will put it on a par financially with the Universities of other States—will broaden its scope of usefulness to the Vote “YES” Scratch ““NO”’ —and see to it that your friends do likewise.

“Mr. Opp,” the Douglas Z. Doty | dramatization of Alice Hegan Rice’s lit- tle Kentucky village-type novel in which Tim Murphy began a week’s engagement at the Garrick last night, gives the playgoing public perhaps its only reason for cherishing a feeling of resentment against “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch,” dear to one’s memory until this hapless moment. ; ! For surely, if ‘“‘Mrs. Wiggs’’ had nev- er been published and staged and scored its big and well-deserved success, ‘Mr. Opp” vainly would have sought either a printed or acted production, and the amusement-seeking world would have been the gainer to precisely that ex- tent. It’s a great pity that one its thus compelled to regret the dear old mother- ‘ 0m) of the Cabbage Patch, but it can’t be helped. “Mr. Opp” places. upon her too-willing shoulders the heaviest bur- den they have yet had to bear. He is, indeed, the straw that breaks the cam- el’s back. For “Mr. Opp” is a sort of masculine travesty upon “Mrs. Wiggs,”’ artificia! where she was vitally natural, a ‘‘made- to-order” figure where she was of the truest growth in creative art, and, in his exaggerated unselfishness and super- human regard for others, you can plain- ly hear the creaking of those wheels of “sympathy production’ which never once became audible during the finely faithful progress of Mrs. Wiggs’ appeal- ing story. The best thing one can do with ‘Mr. Opp” is to forget him. Then, maybe, one can remember ‘“‘Mrs. Wiggs’’ in the fondly, liking way of old. This is what I shall try to do. Mr. Murphy, in whose deserving be- | half I have long hoped for a good play worthy of his sincere powers in homely character-dra wing, strives bravely to make “Mr. Opp’’ werth while, but the task is a futile one. The role of his playing is a sort of’ faint echo of those helpless, bewildered, poverty-stricken and lovable roles in- which Sol Smith Russell was so effective in his day, yet with a fatal difference. ‘‘Mr. Opp”’ is so limitless in his capacity for self-sacri- fice, so blatantly blind to the evil of the world, so simple-minded in his determi- nation upon making a doormat of him- self for the wiping of other folks’ feet, and yet so spot-lightedly insistent upon claiming an audfience’s regard for the alleged virtues thus born of a mid form of lunacy, that Me becomes woe- fully tiresome.

As Missouri has a much larger area than Massachusetts, a better climate and a richer soil, the superior growth in populrtion of the latter State has naturally given rise to a good deal of comment. One point in the record of the two states has, however, been hitherto over- looked: In Missouri tne price of land has ad- vanced steadily, while in Massachusetts there was a time when farm lands were abandoned and could be had for almost any price. The latest Jewish year book states that a large number of Jews of the poorer class have gone into Massachusetts and Connecticut and taken up many of these abandoned farms. As these im- migrants cannot afford to buy farm machinery, they do everything by hand labor. A similar story is told of Italian and of.Polish immigrants. Rural Massachusetts is being filled up with Where the machine working Yan- kee was starving on 40 acres the hand working _fgreigner thrives on 10. Missouri has not had to undergo such an ex- perience. Our farmers have not had to abandon their fields nor to sell them at immigrant prices. So long as free lands can be had in Canada, cheap lands in Texas and Oklahoma and aban- doned farms in New England, Missouri must be content to prosper in wealth and culture and cities rather than in population, but that will come in due time and be of a high oe. 2*e¢¢

Grom cemes v0 ee oe THESE CARELESS DOCTORS. Defining what he classed as ‘‘symptoms of early paranoia” Dr. Walter R. Hewitt said: “One symptom of paranoia is the belief of the 5» patient t that he is being persecuted. ” Just how blindly physicians argue and diagnose is made clear by the pertinence of this statement te the once expressed belief in the “conspiracy of wealth” to ruin “my policies.” -— eee _- “It is evidence of an exaggerated ego,” con- tinued Dr. Hewitt, “that he believes he is the savior of mankind.” That diagnostical remark also has a familiarity which permits instant’ recognition. “In conversation he rambles and is inco- herent.” Here is the suggestion of Osawatomie and Sara- toga. | , “He is not vielent and is in no danger of himself,” continues the diagnosis. re there was Opportunity to suggest that was stramge—éeven outre, Dr. Hewitt con- ing as ded with: Whe gon Cou ‘He is not insane to phe point where he should _inearcerated.” coy Just as a disposition to infer that allusion to : if 7 White House as a place of incarceration was Rieotately new, came the discovery that Dr. _ Hewitt was talking about Pearson, the now fa- mous street preacher. This cleared the atmosphere - go far as the subject of discussion was concerned, but does it not plainly show that the doctors are very careless in their manner of tossing about 9

J. Pierpont Morgan has given $100,000 to the “Episcopalian campaign fund” and also the usual tip to the head waiter. Publicity is so necessary in politics that we May not be far from the time when every in- telligent voter will make it a rule to strike from his ticket the name of every candidate who has

not explained himself past doubt as a representa- ~ tive man, fit for the place he hopes to fill. Such publicity may call for many “legitimate expenses,” as those of printing and mailing cir- ulars, hiring halls and scores of others which " a all admit as allowable when denouncing the use _ of enormous campaign funds. But with this _ granted, Herbert Parsons undertakes to show _ hat at least $120,000 is necessary for a common ra campaign in New York County while at least _ $208,000 is needed for “efficiency.” ‘What efficiency means when it costs at this * rate, he suggests in itemizing expenses for what one item of $18,000 is spent in “publicity,” ‘mentions hall-rent, and several others ordihary When he shows how he he considers “publicity.” expenses in connection with the cost of what he may think most necessary for efficiency. This he calls “red fire.” Red fire does not explain itself as bribery and corruption, but it means nothing if it does not mean the most essential element of humbug. On| &

- THE ROOSEVELT MENACE. That Mr. ee ee ee rors oe Indianapolis should have denounced Judge / son of the United States District Court ‘as “e crook and jackass” will astonish nobody who is familiar with Mr. Roosevelt’s attitude toward an independent judiciary. Judge Anderson’s offense was his decision in “that libel case out here.” United States Government to drag the editors of the Indianapolis News to Washington for what had been printed in their newspaper about the sale of the Panama Canal properties to the United States. The Indianapolis News indict- ments in the District of Columbia were found at the same time the New York World indict- ments were found, at the personal demand of Mr. Roosevelt, then President of the United States. Mr. Roosevelt announced — the New York Tribune that— “The President is deeply interested in this case, and those charged with the prosecution realize that they will earn his gratitude if their efforts are successful.” When the Government attempted to take the editors of the Indianapolis News to Washington tc be tried under a statute which Elihu Root de- scribed in the Dana case as “the same arbitrary and odious law against which Erskine fought in the days of George III,” Joseph B. Kellogg, United States Attorney for Indiana, resigned bis office rather than participate in the proceeding on the ground that: “I believe the principle involved is dangerous, striking at the very foundation of our form of Government.” Because Judge Anderson refused to prostitute the judicial power in order to help Mr. Roosevelt gratify a desire for personal and political re- venge, Mr. Roosevelt brands him as “a crook and a jackass.” But-Henry L. Stimson, who was Mr. Roosevelt’s willing tool in the New York proceedings against The World, which Judge Hough likewise dismissed, is nominated for Gov- ernor by Mr. Roosevelt as evidence of Mr. Roose- velt’s “gratitude.” The independent and courageous judge is “a crook and a jackass,” but the servile prosecutor ivy “Our Harry.” Mr. Roosevelt’s slanderous assault upon Judge Anderson is in the same spirit as his recent at- tacks upon the United States Supreme Court. It is in the same spirit as his attacks upon other judges who dared to decide according to law and not according to his personal will. Long,before Mr. Roosevelt left the White House the fact was generally understood that any Federal judge who decided against the Government in a case in which Mr. Roosevelt was interested had forfeited his chance of promotion. The appointing power was held as a club over the head of every Circuit Judge of the District Court. What would be the situation if Mr. Roosevelt ever returned to the White Ilouse, with power to appoint judges, with power to coerce Congress into enacting new laws relating to the inferior Federal courts and with power to coerce Congress into granting him legislation under which he would pack the Supreme Court? Is it possible to conceive of a greater threat to American liberty and republican institutions? /, 7-~ F-

Our prohibitionist friends should find a better argument against saloon regulation than the re- port of a grafid jury in 1883. At that time there was practically. no saloon regulation, but the town was wide open—about what it would be under prohibition. WELLMAN’S WAR TALE. It is surprising that so mild-mannered, be- spectacled a gentleman as Walter Wellman should have announced his intention of joining the ranks of the inventors who hope, for a profit, to make war so horrible that the nations will refuse to engage in it. Precisely how horrible does Mr. Wellman sup- pose war will have to be to deter men from be- ginning it? Was not the siege of Port Arthur, with its barbed wire entanglements, hand gren- ades, ground mines, machine guns, and all-night battles horrible enough? On July 27, 1904, the Japanese lost 7000 men in an attack on Wolf Hill. On the 9th, 300 Japanese were blown into the air by a ground mine. Next day 300 were drowned when a gunboat_was sunk. Nov. 30, in attacking 203-Meter Hill, the Japanese lost 4000 men in a single hour. And on Dec, 7 they lost 3000 men in trying to recapture the same hill. Everyone with a memory recalls the “re stories of that slaughter pen. Fourteen million men lost their lives by war in the nineteenth century alone, and most of the battles fought were accompanied by as much horror as ought to have deterred the human race from fresh slaughter. It is improbable that any of Mr. Wellman’s in- ventive power, no matter how productive of new methods of inflicting pain, will have the least effect of putting a stop to wars. What is quite certain is that every new device of the kind does the dread work for which is was intended. Does Mr. Wellman seriously wish to take the responsibility thus involved? = -™ rer As an alternative to the stand-pat speeches he ie not. making we suggest that Gov. Hadley dis- cuss “Vaccination and Its Inutility.” “Is Mars In- habited?” “Why Did the Merchants Bridge?’ “Should We Invite the Immigration of ex-Kings?” “Is Kansas or Is It Not?” and “Up Against It— with Humorous Variations.” We hate to see a good man embarrassed. Lak i i The Topeka (Kan.) Capital describes a “keg party” in which 20 persons participated and were found in various stages of intoxication.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, In view of the fact that the Post-Dispatch has always taken a firm stand in favor of a non- partisan judiciary, and in view of the approach- ing election at which a number of judges are to be elected, I wish to call the attention of your readers to a subject which I deem of vital im- portance to the commonwealth. Under our system of government the judge is the ultimate arbiter of all questions, whether shey affect private rights only or public interests. When submitted to him for judgment it becomes his sworn duty to pass upon them without bias or prejudice, and according to his best under- standing of the applicatory law. In the selection of anyone for a judicia] position, therefore, two considerations become paramount. The judge should be a man sufficiently learned to know what the law is, and he should be able to apply it, fearlessly and without any bias or prejudice, whether the question is one which affects private rights only, or one in which all the people are interested. The judge is not the judge of a party, but the judge of the people, and whenever he becomes a partisan he; ceases to be a judge in the true sense of the term, because he then lacks the ability to judge without prejudice, in cases where party interests are concerned. It ig to be regretted that our election machin- ery is such that the names of nominees. for judges, in common with all nominees, must ap- pear on the ballots of some party to make them eligible at all, and as the average voter knows little of the qualifications of the judicial candi- dates oh either ticket, the election of judges is determined mainly by preponderance of the party vote, of one or the other of the political parties. Earnest efforts have been made from time to time to remedy this evil, but the party spirit has always run too high to make this effort suc- cessful. The mere fact, however, that the name of a judicial candidate stands upon a party ticket should not induce the most stalwart party man to vote for him if he can find on any other ticket the name of a nominee better qualified for the position, whose name he can substitute, As the judge should tn no sense be a party man, there cannot in the very nature of things, be any party obligation to vote for a judicial nominee, simply because his name stands on one or the other of the party tickets. Should the day ever come, and I trust it never will, when the people will have lost faith in the integrity and nonpartisan character of our judi-

‘clury, our institutions will have received a blow from which they are not likely to recovef. It was my good fortune to hold a number of judicial positions in this State. It was my aim to secure that the appointees of the courts, over which I had the honor to preside, should be se- lected with the sole view of'‘their fitness for the position and regardless of their party affilia- tions, and I tried to impress the importance of a nonpartisan judiciary on my hearers on every occasion where the opportunity presented itself. That this course on my part, while giving of- fense to the professional politicians, met with the approbation of the sensible, and independent veters is best shown by the fact that in almost every instance when a candidate I led the ticket and sometimes phenomenally so. The bar in St. Louis has in recent years taken some active part in the selection of judicial can- didates. It was instrumental in some instances to defeat objectionable candidates at the polls, although poweriess to prevent their nomination. It has also made it a rule by vote of the Bar Association to approve or disapprove of candi- dates seeking nomination. While this is a move- ment in the right direction, it does not go far enough. I think the Bar Association as a body srould select the strongest men on both tickets and make up its own judicial ticket, even after nomination, and recommend the persons s0 se- fected to the suffrage of the voters, regardless of their party affiliations. This course has been adopted in several large cities in other states and has been found to work satisfactorily, In view of the fact that the all-absorbing ques- tion of prohibition is apt to overshadow other questions at the approaching election, I deem it my duty to call the attention of voters: to the fact that the selection of a proper judiciary, is also a question of very great importance, and that they should give attention to it, and make their selections carefully, on the best information they can obtain. I have no doubt that every member of the bar will deem it his duty to advise not only his clients but every voter seeking infor- metion from them on this all-important subject. St. Louis, Oct. 22. R. E. ROMBAUER. Not for the People. To the B&itor of the Post-Dispatch: It has been proven that Mr. Francis is not for the people but for Francis. This is no one man’s country. Men will come and men will go, but the Government at Washington will live. I am a lifelong Democrat from away back, I a)- ways vote the Democratic ticket. I never bolted the Democratic ticket, but always voted it straight, and having no use for a bojter, is my reason for not supporting David R. Francis. Yours truly. CLAUDE FREEMAN. (An Andrew Jackson Democrat.) ee a Fares on McKinley System. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I think the officials of the McKinley System have a right to charge 15 cents to Granite City on limited cars, for this reason: If they charge 6 cents there will be a crowd of silly people gathered at the Twelfth street station eager to cross the bridge on those particular cars, es- pecially on Saturdays and Sundays, thus taking up all the available seats and space and not leaving any for Springfield and Peoria passen- gers. The McKinley people have for a Jong ann fought the Terminal monopoly in gaining‘an en- trance to our city. They have put into com- mission a large number of fine steel cars to run between St. Louis and Granite City;- and they only charge 5 cents. But still the people are not satisfied. They want Pullman parlor observation ears. Even some of our illustrious councilmen are not satisfied; they want to ride in Pullmans, too, and all for & cents. G, W. MANLEY.

RENUNCIATION THE GREAT FACT. From the New York Herald. It is hard for those brought up on an. older generation of novelists to become accustomed to the materialism of much‘of our recent fiction. The modern writer can describe the con- tents of the garbage can, the dull life on 4 prairie farm or the unhappinesr of .a neglected child, but he is in-, capable of producing a scene like the death of Col. Newcombe or an incident like Henry Esmond’s renunciation of his name and position for the sake of his beloved mistress and her children He has not even a comprehension of the spirit which pervades the inter view in which Savonarola persuades Romola to accept instead of shir the burden laid upon her. The materialist novel writer main- tains that gratified desire is the one end of life, and that anything ig al- lowable to attain it, instead of recog: nizing—as do all religions and the best literature and the drama—that renun- ciation is the great fact in life,

IT Is, ; From today’s Republic. The slogan “‘No Poor Man Need Ap- ply’’ will be worked for all it is worth by the remaining Reed supporters from now until election. But what boots it? The senatorial contest in Missouri is over, so far as the Democratic nomina- tion is concerned.

RICH MAN, POOR MAN. From a Francis Advertisement in the Monroe County Appeal, You say that you are against Francis because he has too much money? How about Batley of Texas, who when elect- ed to the Senate was a bankrupt; has he always been true to his trust? He was a poor man when elected to the United States Senate. Which will be the freest from the domination of persons, partnerships and corporations, the man who runs for of- fice and elected on his own money or the man who must necessarily be fur- nished money with which tc make his campaign? Are you not as safe in voting for the man who has money as to vote for a man who has none, but eager to get it? COMMITTEE.

BACK TO THE FARM. From the Kansas City Post. Back to the farm! One Kansas City boy has heard the call and answered the summons. Russell Glaze, 15 years old, who lived alone with his father among the busy hives of men, has gone back to the free air and the open sky. Russel] isn’t going to lose anything that cannot be compensated for by not being reared in a city and he will avoid a raft of things that it were well for a growing boy to miss, The more boys brought up in the country the higher will be our average of good citizenship. The farm is the recrult- ing ground of the nation’s strength perhaps of its physical and moral salvation. __ Nearly Identical Cases. the Ohio State Journal. "The California man who was bumped

SOCRATES ON THE PANAMA CANAL. SOCRATES: Ah, gentlemen! Be seated. GLAUCON: Thanks, Socrates. What is there now? SOCRATES: Well, there is always something, if one can but see it. I don’t suppose you noticed the grand preparations they are making in Japan for the opening of the Panama Canal? GLAUCON: Why, no. SOCRATES: Ah! POLEMARCHUS:. You don’t say, Socrates! THRASYMACHUS: I call that the best indication of friendship yet. SOCRATES: Yes, -indeed. Japan has just appropriated $40,000,000 for that purpose. POLEMARCHUS: Extremely liberal! GLAUCON: A fair, I suppose. SOCRATES: Not at all. Japan is going to celebrate the opening of the Canal by making her navy about three times as big as it is now. THRASYMACHUS: O shaw! I read about that, but I didn’t sup- pose it had anything to do with the Panama Canal. SOCRATES: In other words, Thrasymachus, you didn’t put two and two together. ' THRASYMACHUS: MI suppose not. SOCRATES: You didn’t put two and two together and get about four new battleships for us at the .next session of Congress, so to speak. THRASYMACHUS: Alas, no! I’m not good at that sort of thing, as you are, Socrates. SOCRATES: But you see it now, don’t you? THRASYMACHUS: Yes. POLEMARCHUS: We all see it now. SOCRATES: Good!

How Fate Solved for Father the Task of Satisfying His Politically Divergent Children. — ERNARD G. RICHARDS tells in the Jewish Voice tife -perplex- itieg of Chayim, a resident of the Ghetto, concerning. the ex- ercise of the right of suffrage. Chayim says: “My son Schlomke, a boy of 15, was stanchly in favor of the Repub- lican candidate. My second son, Jakie, who is now nearly bar mitz- vah (age of confirmation, 13), was most strongly devoted to the Demo- cratic candidate, and my youngest boy, my baby, Bennely, who is a very wild fellow, was in favor of the So- cialists. So much for the boys. But tT also have three girls, who are oléer than the boys, and they also take part in politics. My eldest Gaughter, Betsie, who is a_ teacher, told me the best thing was to vote for a Mr. Randall. I ask her: “Who is Mr. Randall? No one seems to have heard of him,’ and she explains that Mr. Randall is a candidate of the Prohibition party, which- wishes to close up all the saloons. Not a. bad thing thought I to myself. If my Gentile customers will stop drinking they will pay me more regularly for the goods which they buy of me; but how ts it possible to vote for a man ef whom no gne has heard? My sec- ond daughter, Flossie, works at wom- en's hats. and she wanted me to vote for a certain Mr. Jackson. ‘Who ts re?’ I ask her, and she tells me that he is a Socialist; and the reel So- cialist, not Hike Mr. Chase, for whom Bennely i® advocating so vehemently. And my third daughter, Jennie, who is half a simpleton and somewhat of an anarchist, urges me not to vote at all. She tries to explain to me that the election is a capitalistic swindle, by which to hoodwink the poor peo- pie and make them think that they make up the Government, while as a matter of fact the Government ig- nores them entirely. But there is no use in talking with such a simple- ton.” On the day of election Chayim is entirely confused, and as he goes to the polls; he hopes that God will “at the last moment” so inspire him that he will vote in a manner that will satisfy “everybody.” When he en- tered the voting poll.and gave his name, the attendants in charge looked up in surprise and then told him that ncording to the records a man bearing his mame has arready voted. “I ask alata re - —,

It was impossible for anyone who at- tended the tenth biennial of the General Federation, at Cincinnati this year not to be deeply impressed with two facts: One of these was the directness, the business-like methods and the willing- ness to work displayed by the major part of the women assembled, the other, and the more important, was the really extraordinary democracy of the move- ment. This democracy was the disting- uishing characteristic of that great gathering of women from every state and almost every social environment comprised in the Union; it was a weld- ing of women into woman, and it is difficult to overestimate the meaning of such a development. An Increasing recognition of the power of the federation to get things done is one of the signs of the times. Men ‘with a plan for constructive or pre- ventive legislation like to get the wom- an’s clubs behind them. It was the New Jersey federation that saved the Palisades. It was the effort of the General federation that passed the pure food bill. A part of the influence of the fed- eration lies, doubtlessly, fn its immense power of publicity.

When Henry Bailey lectured on art at the last biennial, he voiced a plea for the mountain-laure] as the national flower, adducing a nu- merous array of excellent reasons for its selection, and assuring the women that their support was the one needed factor. The insistence on the civic work of the federation may seem excessive, but it is only necessary to glance over the programmes of the various clubs and state federations to see how strong is the trend in that direction. The clubs that, to quote Mrs. Decker, have come to believe In “Doing rather than Dante, and Being rather than Brown- ing’’ find in civic labor a field close at that cries to be tilled.

These departments have at their head, women of proved efficiency, who are assisted by capable and carefully chosen co-wofkers. In addition, there exists the immensely important bureau of information, loca- ted at Portsmouth, to which every club may appeal for continuous or co-related programs, outlines for study, answers to perplexing questions, books and lIiter- ature of various kinds, and where, above all, it may keep in touch with other clubs in the federation.

It will not only astonish us, but will also make us realize how much we have to be thankful fer. In the first place, there was no Thanksgiving day in 1819, except in New England. It was only a little over forty years ago that the people all over the United States began to celebrate the day. Before that if one did not live in Boston or very close to it he probably would never have eaten a Thanksgiving dinner. But even those who lived in New England did not have anything like the variety of good things for dinner that we have today. .They had turkey and pumpkin pie and onions and cranberry sauce and potatoes; but they did not have to- matoes or corn or peas or string beans or beets or asparagus or any of the other canned vegetables that we are accustomed to eating during the win- ter months. There were no canned goods of any kind. There were no tin cans. Neither were there any cars to pring fresh fruits and vegetables—like strawberries and tomatoes and lettuce— from the South and from-California. In fact, there were then no such places in the United States as Fiorida and Texas and California. They were all of them waste places or foreign lands. They belonged to England ‘and Spain and nee and Mexico. ’ ccanaiek bananas, pineapples, gra fruit, olives, Malaga grapes and o tropical fruits which are so familiar all of us, were never seen In the markets of 1810. Boys and girls of that day only heard about them from travelers or read of ‘them in books. Dinners were cooked in fireplaces. There were no ranges. There were no gas stoves, no oil stoves, no coal stoves, no cook stoves of any kind. Housewives **» had no baking powder, no yeast cakegs’ no self-raising flour, no granulated sugar, no flavoring extracts, no ground spices, no cocoa, no potted meats, no catsup, no prepared breakfast foods, no soda crackers, no macaroni. All the coffee had to be roasted and ground at home. Housekeepers thén had very few of the conveniences that they have to- day. They had no running water in the house or stationary washtubs or clothes wringers or washing machines or wire ury. Steam heating ing were undreamed kitchen ranges and There were no no plumbing,

stamps. The person | received letter paid for it in cash . to the distance it had come, And thera. were no envelopes and no letter a As there were no ratiroads, news traveled only as fast as a horse coul@" run or a ship could sail. There were no wires to carry messages, for : was no telegraph and there was telephone. Consequently the few news- .

By Associated Press. NHW YORK. Oct. %4.—The crew of the liner Minnewaska, in from London to- ship on her last eastward passage. The Minnewaska carried part of a menagerie on her lower deck forward. Among the animals was a fine Bengal tiger. Mem- bers of the crow noticed that the tiger was in a bad temper. Frequently he huried himself against the bars with a violence that made the sailors uneasy. All went well, however, until the Sat- ly after 6 o’clock in the morning, it was discovered that the tiger bad escaped from his cage. The crew, who was washing down decks, hastened to pointa of safety for- ward and aloft. Passengers awakened by roaring from the lower decks, bar- ricaded themselves in their berths. The animal keepers’ staff was hurriedly as- sembied and armed with guns, revolvers and tron bars to recapture the beast before he did any damage. After searching the dimly lighted low- Indian cow. A great gash was in the cow’s neck and the tiger was lapping the blood from the wound Blank cartridges were fired in the tiger’s face and it was driven back into {ts cage, but before the keepers could fasten the doors, the tiger dashed out again, hurling the men in all directions. After much maneuvering by the keepers, who fired many blank cartridges the ‘annals of the ESCAPE PRISON FOR KILLING FRIEND Illinois Man Who Shot a Neighbor for Burglar Wants Change of Venue. 4PREJUDICE ALLEGED : ant Homer Shépherd Seeks Jury of Strangers in Trial for Death of Ralph Foster. BLOOMINGTON, Til., Oct. %.—Fight- i. Ucaperately to escape the peniten- ‘ary on a charge of manslaughter, and miso to avoid payment of a judgment of $7750, Homer Shepherd, the Loving- ton Banker, has asked for @ change of venue alleging prejudice in his home c inty of hk... .rle. Defeated in two trials in the civil prosecution, he does NO. wa. to face another jury of his neighbors in an action for manslaughter. Ever since the night, a year ago, when fhe shot and killed his best friend, Ralph Foster, a young merchant of Lovington, who was his next-door neighbor, he has been remorsefiil, but the. widow of his friend has been remorseless, and ) will not permit any felaxation in the efforts to collect the judgment or save the slayer of her husband from the punishment which she and his frierids think is deserved. The pressure to secure a withdrawal of the prosecution and to persuade the widow to condone the offense has been powerful, but she has withstood it, and her friends are supporting her in her position. The killing of young Foster was one of the most remarkable tragedies in the Central [llinois courts, and extraordinary interest has been dis-

As is usual in such cases, the community has taken. sides, but it is generally befieved that the friends of the dead, naturally enough, are in an overwhelming majority, and this fact has led Shepherd to argue for a change of venue when the criminal action is calied. Had a Fear of Burgliars. Burgiars had been reported as prowl- ing about the town and Shepherd, who had a mortal antipathy toward these marauders, had a habit of remaining up until a late hour to guard against en- trance. On the fatal night, he saw a man cut through his yard and stop for @ moment near a tree, as if to survey the premises. Jumping to the conclué sion that the intruder was a burglar, Shepherd shot from the second-story window of his home. The man fell and investigation developed that the vic- tim was Foster, who lived next. door, and who had taken a short route through Shepherd’s yard to reach his own home, Shepherd's only defense was that he thought Foster was acting suspiciously and believed that he was a burglar with designs upon the mansion of the bank- er, and probably would shortly seek to force an entrance. Jury Raises Judgment. In the first trialyof the suit for dam- ages filed by the widow, the. jury brought in a verdict of $7500 in her favor. A second trial was granted on a technicality and the jury raised the judgment to $7750. The keynote of the defense was the right of habitation. The contention of the defense was that Shepherd was watching Foster, and, not knowing who he was, became justified in shooting him to prevent a burgilarious entrance. The prosecution contended that there was nothing in the proved actions of Foster cause suspicion that a felony was about to be committed. It was also brought out that Shep-
