THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAIr SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 2, 1907. IN THE RELIGIOUS WORLD. What the Church Folks Are 7 Religious News When Honesty Is the Best Policy. Terse comments on the uniform pray er meeting tonic of the Young Peo ple's Societies for March 3, "Being honest with yourself and God." Luke 12:1-3; Josh. 24:14. BT WILLI Ail T. ELLIS. Sincerity Is life's passport. We must be honest with ourselves before we can be honest with God. A decided character Is a first require ment in him who would help push out ward the borders of God's kingdom. If we are to count for Christ and righteousness in the world, we must first count as men. Ciphers only com plicate the problem of iife. We who are sons of God. princes of the blood royal, should live the strongest, com pletest, and most powerful life. For It is by our strength, by our power, and by our attractiveness, that the gospel of our Father is to be recommended to the world. Strong characters all have strong convictions. They are accustomed to the use of the fchort and mighty "Yes' and "No." And their "Yes" means "yes" and their "no" means "no." They dare to disagree with anybody and with everybody, if their consciences so dic tate. Majorities have no terrors for them. To them it is a small matter whether they are praised or not; but It i great matter whether they are right or not. Better be hated for enmity than de spised for dishonesty. The average person needs an infu sion of strength. He is inclined to weakness. His temptation is to be part of a conglomerate crowd, when he should be an independent. Individual personality. Instead of standing out, In sun-crowned manliness, against ig noble tendencies, he becomes a craven follower of them. It is easier for him to be good-natured and compliant than to be right and peculiar. Yet who ever" would quit himself like a man must be strong; for strength is the su preme seal of manhood. "Thou must be true thyself If thou the truth wouldst teach. Even God despises the lukewarm. The shifty servant of policy who is al ways fearful of offending one side or the other, who wants to keep on the good side of the Lord and at the same time be neighborly with Satan and his followers. Is even more odious in the eyes of God than he is in the eyes of right-thinking men. Only they are re spected who are out-and-out for some thing. He who walks ahead in a straight line makes a plain path for feet that would waver. The times cry for men and women of honesty and steadfastness. Men and women who can be tied to as friends; men and women who are loyal tor all their obligations; men and women of clear-cut convictions and constancy. Such are at once the joy and hope of the race. There is a deal of shaky patriotism In these days. It leans toward self-interest and party expediency. It cares more for local Interests than for na tional welfare. It considers the gov ernment leas as a subject to be prayed for than as an object to be preyed upon. It lacks controlling and definite principle. At bottom its primal im pulses may be right, but in the execu tion of these it is far from being strong and clear-eyed. Our nation needs just now and needs sorely, deci sion of character in her sons and daughters; a. decision of character which will speak plainly and work vigorously for the preservation of those Ideals which are synonymous with the hallowed name, America. Many life failures are in conse quence of lack of honesty. Weakness of will always works woe. The vacillating; are vanquished. m The church seriously needs today Christians who know how "to stand." It is full of wabbling and weak-kneed saints; its call is for disciples who change not, but who in their devotion to Christ and his kingdom are decided and constant. The victory of the church is to come through the divinely given strength of its members, by which it will best demonstrate the truth of the gospel of the strong Son ef God. NEWS AXD NOTES. Rev. John Q. Paton died recently at Melbourne. Australia, after forty-three years of service among the natives of the islands of die New Hebrides. A petition has been signed by ten Protestant Kpiscopal bishops and sent to the management of the Jamestown exposition, protesting against the al leged intention to make It "the great ttubborn dangerous r membranes get not recuperate. Robbed of their power of resistance, they are tunable to throw off germs of bronchitis, pneumonia or consumption. Scott Emtttsion soothes and heals the affected membranes with glycerine, restores the tissues and builds up the blood with cod liver oil, strengthens the nervous system with hypophosphites Scoffer Emu fofon vnH break up and cure the most stubborn cold. g. O ALL DRUGGISTS Thinking About jauad Doing From Everywhere. est military spectacle the world has ever seen." The World's Student Christian Fed eration proposes, at an early date, to send Dean E. I. Bosworth of Oberlin, to Japan for an evangelistic campaign among; Chinese and Japanese students. Mr. Bosworth has rendered excellent service in this country at student gath ering's and will weil represent the pro gressive scholarship of our country. In the reconstruction, of the Dowie church otherwise known as the Christian Catholic church Voliva has announced that he will be known as Elijah IV." The Orthodox Greek church has made a perceptible gain during 1906, in this country. Reports from St. PAturahiiri. tall ett a Hiifinn nf Ihfi authorities to establish a bishopric in Chicago. Both the Northern and Southern Methodist churches record a gain of 3 per cent, in membership during 1906, which is more than the average for all the denominations grouped. The seventieth anniversary of the birth of Dwight L. Moody was ob served at Northfield recently. Dr. W. T. Grenfell of tire Labrador mission mak ing the principal address. Dr. Gren fell paid tribute to the work of Mr, Moody and asserted that although he had seen Mr. Moody but three times in his life, "Whatever I have had that I consider most worth having; in life. I owe to him." Many of the churches of London, as well as other cities in England have devoted the sermons of recent Sun days to discussions of Rev. R. J. Camp bell's departure from orthodoxy, not a few severely attacking his attitude on this question. A New York City Methodist Episco pal church which recently gave the use of its edifice to a congregation of Jews temporarily homeless, has received not only a vote of thanks, but a check for $1,000 for its treasury. SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS. He who speaks honestly and? fear lessly what he knows and what he be lieves will secure the good will and respect, however he may fail to win the assent, of his fellow-men. Hux ley. God, who studies each separate soul, Out of commonplace lives makes his beautiful whole. Susan Coolldge. Good temper, like a sunny day, sheds a brightness over everything. Washington Irving. He needs no other rosary whose thread of life is strung with beads pf love and thought. Persian Proverb.

There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so. Shake' speare. Absence of occupation is not rest; A mind quite vacant is a mind dis tressed. Cowper. We may lose battles while gathering straws. Scotch Proverb. RELIGIOUS THOUGHT. Gems Gleaned from tbe Teachings of AH Denominations. We cannot talk to men effectively about God until we first talk to God about men. Rev. Dr. J. P. Brushing ham, Methodist, Chicago. THE RAREST GRACE. Charity is the rarest of all Christian graces charity In opinion toward those who differ, charity of hand to ward those who suffer. Rev. A. S. Phelps, Baptist, Los Angeles, Cal. MUCH GAINED. One has gained much when he can look at the sky with a feeling of friendliness and at the future with a sense of repose. Rev. Dr. Frank Crane, Congregation&list, Worcester, Mass. GOOD FROM SUFFERING. In passing through suffering there comes a splendid opportunity to know what it is to sympathize with others and what a message of good cheer means to a heavy heart. Rev. W. S. Swanson, United Brethren, New York. RELIGIOUS SECRET OF MANHOOD The secret of the highest manhood i3 the religion of Jesus Christ, nothing more, nothing less. The sturdiest manhood, abounding alike in sympa thies and in heroisms, is impossible without religion. Rev. Austen de Blois, Baptist, Chicago. PLAN FOR LIFE. Too many of us divide our lives into years and think we have to crowd all the work possible into each year, thereby falling far short of the allotted three-score and ten. We should not plan for a year, but for life. I doubt if it pays to bother about new resolu tions every year. While riding on an express train and passing a milestone every minute it would hardly save time cougKs and colds are because the irritated no rest, hence can i SOc AND $1.00. to note each milestone and regard it as a new start. The thing that counts is the entire trip, a man's whole life. Rev. Dr. James H. Ecob, Unitarian, Philadelphia. THE FINAL TEST. The- final test of a state or a city or a community is not its outward appear ance, prosperity or numbers, but the quality and character of its men and women the virtue and intelligence, the ethical and spiritual perfection of Its people Rev. F. L. Phalen, Unitar ian, Worcester, Mass. OLD AGE. To men and women who have used life for the development of character and growth of the soul old age does not betoken impotence and the cessa tion of ail functions, but, on the con trary, ushers in a season of fresh vigor and nourishment.- Rabbi H. G. Ene low, Hebrew, Louisville. GOD AS A PARTNER. We must recognize a guiding hand in the affairs of life. God is the God of life, the general superintendent of life, your senior partner whom you must consult daily in the business of living. With God as a partner there is no failure. Rev. George E. Raith, Presbyterian, Oak Park, Pa. AN INEVITABLE REWARD. Every sincere resolution for- good, every honest effort at righteousness, every kindly word and unselfish deed, brines its inevitable reward, not neces sarily in dollfars and cents, or in place and promotion and .favoritism, but in its reaction upon the character or me one who put its forth. tev jh. b. Bradley, Episcopalian, Atlanta, Ga. TO ACHIEVE PROGRESS. Progress is the unvarying pro gramme of the universe and of all life, and all progress Is achieved by having and carrying out some purpose. To have no high purpose and to be seek ing nothing higher or better is to havn reversed the true processes of life and to have begun the sure journey to the grave.- Rev. C. C. Pierce, Baptist, Los Angeles, CaL A WARNING. Our greatest trouble lies not In the Ignorance of the humble immigrant, but in the moral myopia of the smart set who will not see far ahead or deep enough. We are suffering from the bad citizenship of our "good" men, from the small caliber of our "big" men. It is this hateful demoralization of our spiritual treasures that bids us pause. The gratitude of the American soul demands purity in the personal, piety in the domestic, patriotism In the national relations, but paganism in no sphere and at no time. America must stand sponsor to the sanity, sanctity and serviceableness of the ever grow ing soul in dignity, chastity and beau ty. From this prophetic message no true American need flee, nor in its de livery fall asleep while the storm is brewing on the deep and the worm is gnawing at the roots. America can afford to make haste slowly. Rabbi Abram Simon, Washington. THE JOY OF LIVING. When anxieties come, "cast thy bur den upon the Lord." When perplexi ties arise, "commit thyself unto the Lord." When soul storms toss you. seek ye the Lord." When you are weary of life's trials, "rest In the Lord and wait patiently for him." "This do ye and live." This is-living. When we do otherwise, we merely ex ist. To live thus In close contact, with God, to live with him, by him -arid by means of him, this. I say, is living. Then life vibrates with happiness, and we feel the joy of living. Tasks become tests, and drudgery becomes nobility. This Joy of Jiving is also ours In the degree that we undertand that living is giving. TO give others business, to brighten up some corner of the little world we live in, this adds to the joy of life. We can always give more gen erously than we do those little things which cost nothing, but which are of priceless value -a word of encourage ment, a word of praise In due season, a gentle tone, a sympathetic look, a nod of approval. These things mean the Joy of life. To give them gives Joy "This do ye and live." "-Rabbi H. Pe reira Mendes, New York. CHURCH NOTICES.

In the order of their number, the directory of the Fourth district should be printed this week, but as the presi dent has not yet reported in full, we skip that for the. present, and go on to me irtn district clubs. The re port of the Fourth district will be given later. Mrs. L. H. Wishard, vice-president of the federation, has been very, ill with grip for some weeks. She was called home from the board meeting in Topeka on account of the illness of her daughter, and was taken very ill herself upon her arrival home. Her many friends will be glad to. learn that sne is convalescing. Mrs. Sara T. S. Lelghton, of East Boston, chairman press committee of the local biennial board, has already laid out plans for sending out litera ture concerning the Boston, biennial. In a letter Just received sha says: "We shall send out bulletins as of ten as seems advisable, making pub lic whatever information will interest and enthuse the club women through out the country. The bulletins will be mailed directly to all clubs in Kansas which are directly affiliated with the General. Federation. These clubs will also be reached by announcements which we -shall make from time to time through the Federation Bureau under General Federation News. Sev eral copies of each bulletin will be mailed to you as state president, and we ask you to disseminate the infor mation therein contained in whatever way seems -to 'you best, to the local press and to the clubs of Kansas, which do not hold membership in the Gen eral Federation." So, while the echoes of the great St. Paul meetings are still ringing in our ears, we hear the whir of the machin ery which is to plan for uS another, still greater, meeting, the Tenth Bi ennial. The Kindergarten bill which passed the house last Tuesday, completes our legislative work for this year. We were modest ln'our scope, and did not try to do too many things. The Pure Food bill, the Aplington Art Gallery bill, and the Kindergarten bill these three were the sum of our efforts, and all were successful. Whatever credit attaches to work in this. line, reverts back to the club women, for they real ly did this Work,-although but few of them were called upon personally for assistance. It was not done by the ex board and legislative committee work alone, but by the power behind them of our thousands of loyal 'club women, who made these achievement possible. Senator Porter and Mr. .F. B. Wheeler, both of Pittsburg, looked af ter our kindergarten bill In senate and house, and have won the gratitude of the federation by their work;for us in this instance.

The action of ths West Side Forestry club which voted not to go In with ths federation, ths Commercial club and the Pipe Organ association on a week'a entertainment at ths Auditorium was not actuated, the members assert by opposition to the club houn idea nor to the entertainment itself but reached its decision on account of the amount of outside work ths club already has on hand and which will prevent the members taking on any extra respon sibilities this spring. The Forestry club women are still working for Wil low Park, ths new park In Potwin. which has been established through their influence and efforts and this will keep them busy all spring.

fi THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAIr 'SARD AY EVENING, MARCH 2,1907. A Human Dynamo V

S dentists Claim Magnetfc-TO as the Source and Secret of Health. Vital 'Magnetism or Human Electri city and Its Marvelous Power Over the Ills "f the Flesh as Dally Proven By. CHAS. A. DWINELL The Boy Phenomenon At 222 E. 6th St., Topeka, Kansas. Electricity, which is still in its in fancy, is every day being developed in some new direction, and every day demonstrating the supremacy of its position as the most powerful and re markable of nature's offerings to science. Never since the immortal Franklin harnessed the greatest of the mysterious forces that go to make up the elements, has the wide spread ing power of electricity been so clear ly demonstrated as in the many phen omenal cures that have attended the application of vital magnetism to the sick and suffering of Topeka and vi cinity the past year. Vital Magnetism is human electri city. Every human being in the Hush of health and spirits is in that con dition only because the system is rep lete with vital magnetism, because the store of human electricity put there by the Great Power, that gives health to humanity and sunshine to flowers, has kept that store of mag netism intact. "When you see a man or woman with pallid complexion, with that halt ing step which denotes loss of strength and nerve power, with eyes that droop which fail to 'show interest In the great panorama of nature: when you see a man or woman in that condition, living from day to day, no hope, no ambition, despondent and miserable, no appreciation of this glorious world, you may know that they are suffering from a lack of life giving and health-producing vital magnetism, or In other words, human electricity. Medicine will not supply the vital magnetism that they lack; will not fill the system or replenish the nerves again with human electricity, but it can obtained. The one man who, as Franklin har nessed the electricity of the air, has found the means to control and trans mit human electricity, is Chas. A. Dwinell. the Boy Phenomenon, who, since his power was first discovered at 10 years of age, has devoted his life to the scientific study of vital magnetism In its application to the cure of the ills of the flesh, and in the 15 years he has been publicly demonstrating his pow er he has accomplished more remark able cures than any other man, means or method known to the civilized world. This wonderful method dispels dis ease as If by magic. It seems to make no difference whether the disease is chronic or acute, whether Is a disease peculiar to women, known as female troubles, or if it Is that destroying af fliction coming from excesses; or the long list of nervous troubles, these and nearly all other diseases give way to this grand discovery. There Is no sensation more agree able to one who has suffered for years than that experienced while taking a magnetic treatment. A soft, gentle current quietly steals through the body, permeating every nerve and muscle, revitalizing. healing and strengthening the whole system, sweeping away with its soothing in fluence all disease and infirmities of years standing. This is your opportunity to be cur ed, no matter what your condition, how long you have been sick or how many others you have tried; no mat ter what your doubts may be, if your case Is curable at all, there is hope, and if incurable, the case will not be taken, except the patient desires to take treatment with the full know ledge that his disease Is incurable; and in such event, everything possible will be done to afford the afflicted person relief. And if, after satisfying yourself that Vital Magnetism Is all that it claims to be, and that magnetism is the treat ment you want, you may obtain free consultation by calling at the office, any day except Sunday from 10 a. m. to 5 p. m. 222 E.

An out of town wedding of uncom mon interest, news of which comes as a surprise to the many friends of the brido, a popular Topeka girl, was that of Miss Hazel Wolff, daughter of Mr. and M:s. Charles Wolff, and Mr. Frank Andrews of Rossvllle, which took place at the winter home of the bride's par ents in Los (Angeles, February 25. Miss Wolff had been in California with her mother for two months and Mr. Andrews joined them there just before the wedding. Although their engage ment was an open secret among all their friends, their wedding at this time was entirely unexpected and even the bride's bi other, Mr. Charles Wolff, who was in Topeka at the time, did not know of it until after it was over. The Rev. Frank D. Talmage, of the First Piesbyterian church of Los An geles, performed the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Andrews will spend two months traveling In California and will be at home In Topeka. The Andrews family Is one of the best known in Rossvllle and they have many friends in Topeka. Mr. Andrews has been as sociated for a number of years with his father In the cattle business at Rossville.

Among those who gave box parties were Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Robinson, the rest of their party being Miss Metta Robinson, Mrs. P. G. Noel. Mr. and Mrs. Albert T. Rel.i, and Mr. Williams of Chicago.

Dennison, Lieutenant Colo nel Charles S. Huffman of Columbus. Captain Charles Lander of Lindsborg, Captain Thomas A. Mayhew of Wel lington and Captain A. B. Conley. Two women were talking over a party line telephone this morning when another woman on the line "but ted in." There was the usual confu sion and the two women who had the line first expressed themselves in the usual way about people trying to at tract central when they knew there was already some one on the line and about central ringing In or giving the second number when she knew or ought to know the line was busy. "This line," said one of the women, "Is thn meanest In town, anyway. Some of the other subscribers take down the receiver every time I talk and 1 Know ihev must be listening." "I beg your pardon!" retorted a third and unexpected voice, snarpiy, "I don't believe It." and the subscriber with the "rubber" ear hung up her receiver with a smart click.

Miss Anna Furry, one of the pret tlest little girls In town, is five years old today and her mother. Mrs. J. B Furry, gave her a birthday party this afternoon, asking some of her neigh borhood and Bethany kindergarten friends. The supper table was decor ated in pink and there was a Perfectly Grand birthday cake with five lighted pink candles. At the Phipps home about all that is left from the wreck of the family for tunes to remind the visitor of bygone splendor is a grand piano, very old, tin-panny as to tone, the keyboard yel low with age and stubborn as to ac tion, the handsomely carved rosewood case scratched and marred from much moving from house to house and apartment to apartment, always down the scale as the family fortune de teriorated. But although impossible as an instrument the piano is still a beautiful piece of furniture in spite of long and hard usage and gives a cer tain dignity to the Phipps drawing room. The Phipps children were brought up on the piano and anecdotes of the money and social prestige their parents once enjoyed and which they but dimly remember and the two are indissolubly linked In their minds. The piano is the household god, invariably treated with a respect which amounts to reverence by Mrs. Phipps and all the girls except Sallle Phipps. Same Is the one practical member of this big, improvident, helpless family of girls and Sallle Is so intensely practical that she doesn't care a rap about the family traditions. Last Christmas when the question of turkey or chick en or plain roast beef for the Christ mas dinner came up In the family councils, Sallle wanted roast beef be cause she said they couldn't afford tur key. The rest of the family wanted turkey and the other girls were almost in tears at Sallie's disgusting practi cality. "Well." said Sallie finally, I d like to have a turkey, too. but I don t see how we're to manage it. ssne ruminated a while and her wandering eye fell upon the piano. "I'll tell you! i i r. k if Hlv "nerhans we can trade the jiano for one. Do you suppose we couia nna huj uuu, enough to trade a turkey for a piano? An interesting event of the next i, n which mav safely be en- i i i .it n t jmtpTi oen- joyea wiuluul ances and sacrifices will be an exhibit of some of the recent paintings ui George M. Stone at his studio in the i-, s j htMinor wpdnesdav and Thursday. .The exhibit will include many new portraits, as wen as v. ctct, r-o natures never before shown in public. Mr. Stone's work is so well known and so generally appre ciated in Topeka as to need no word of recommendation. Local art stu dents and critics recognize in him a painter of more than ordinary talent and one whom a small provincial town like Topeka may well be proud to claim as a citizen. Mr. Stone has been hard at work for tne past iwo m mnnv oortralts and other commissions, some of them done out of town during an eastern viil a number of weeks last summer and the fruit of his labors will be shown on this occasion. It will be the first public exhibit which he has made for five vears. a fact which gives it additional interest. a Tvncirn mother has ten pic- hi., nniv son in her room, and one or more in every other room in the house.

One of the village belles was a school teacher who "pedagogued" in a country district and there met a swain of whom she made use to drive her to and from school and perform like services. To her "town" friends she rather made sport of her farmer suitor who lacked some of the finished graces of the clerk In the racket store, the acknowledged social leader in town. The country boy, she told her girl friends, was "awful quiet and slow." He couldn't cut up as killing as the town boys but she owned to finding him "quite nice," now she knew him better. One of the girls whe liked country life and was some what discouraged at the matrimonial prospects in town was inclined to re gard the country swain favorably and made minute inquiries as to Just "how bad" he might be. Did he wear ter rible clothes? "Why, not so bad; no." "Does he use awful grammar?" "No; about like all the boys here." "Are his nails dirty?" "Not when he's dressed up." "Well, how bad is he? would you be afehamed of him In town? Tell me: would you walk into Empire Hall with him?"

Judge Tliacher Refuses Demand of Southerner for Satisfaction. r Documents In the congressional li brary at Washington show that when the establishment of the mint was un der discussion in Washington's time there were some amusing debates In congress concerning the devices the coins should bear. There is one ac count of a squabble over the designs for the silver dollar. It appears that a member of the house from a southern state bitterly opposed the choice of the eagle on ac count of its being the "king of birds," and hence neither suitable nor proper to represent a nation whose institu tions and Interests were wholly Inimi cal to monarchical forms of govern ment. Judge Tbacher, in reply, had play fully suggested that perhaps a goose might suit the gentleman, as It was rather a humble and republican Dird and would also be serviceable In other respects, as the goslings would an swer to place upon the dimes. This reply created considerable mer riment, and the irate southerner, con sidering the humorous rejoinder an Insult, sent a challenge to Judgi Thacher, who proudly declined It. The bearer, rather astonished, asked: "Will you be branded as a coward?" "Certainly, If he pleases," replied Thacher. "I always was one, and ha knew it, or he would never have risked a challenge." The affair caused much mirth, but was finally adjusted, cordial relations being restored, the irritable southern er concluding that there was nothing to be gained in fighting one who fired nothing but jokes. Chicago Chronicle. The Telephone In Religion. The telephone has found its way into religion. It has come to be one of the chief aids of the religious cam paigners. During a recent big revival In Kan sas City some of the leaders conceived the Idea of utilizing the telephone to reach those not reachable In person. The Bell company installed special telephones in the workers' headquar ters so the calling could be done from there. The meditations of a house wife or business man were often In terrupted by the telephone bell and a few seconds later this would come over the wire: "Hello." "We wish to Invite you 11, LUC C7 1 V tl 11U Ui-lllft l.ljiliumu J the churches cf Kansas City." And the telephone invitation' brought them out, too. The most distinguished churchman In the world is one of the most con-' stant and enthusiastic telephone users Pope Plus X. When as Cardinal Sartos he left Venice to become Pope Leo's successor, he bade his friends goodby. He has never returned there, of course, and never again will step foot In the city so long as the pope remains a prisoner in the Vatican. Shortly before he became high pontiff a telephone had been installed In the Vatican and since then his friends and former parishioners have heard hi? voice many times over the wire. Last Easter he bestowed the apostolic blessing on his old parishioners by means of the telephone. One enterprising pastor In a Mis souri town got up a telephone service for his entire congregation on a stormy Sunday evening when the roads were not passable. It worked very well until he came to the announce ment "Brother Blank will now pass th collection box." Then there was a suppressed giggle all along the line. The reverend gentleman afterwards maintained that the telephone was a fine thing in disagreeable weather but mighty hard on the pastor's salary.

The country will now stand and Bin th doxologry. The ship subsidy .graft waa beaten In congress. Judging from its actions on the antl pass bill, th Kansas senate Is almost as changeable as the Kansas weather. "A governor who Hughes to the line." remarks Roy Tapley, "appears to be something altogether novel In New York." Incidentally. Is anything being done to abate the robberies perpetrated by express companies In the guise of ex press charges "This much," comments J. L. Brls tow. "can be said for the Nof tzger two cent fare bill: It does not increase the present three-cent rate." Much of the Interest in the Thaw case has died out since Evelyn Thaw completed her evidence. People do not care for the testimony of mere ex perts. Senator Bailey has hurried to Wash ington, taking his bright, new vindi cation with him. It isn't every sena tor who can show such a vindication as that. The Kansas City Star wasted some good space in noting that It wasn't a Kansas senator who Inserted the Mur cu mnil-weierhins Idea in the post;- office bill. Senator Aldrich Is arranging to .nTi4 the summer In Europe. The knowing ones Regard- this as a sure sign that there willjbe'ilo extra session of congress. Nebraska has a flat two-cent pas senger fare. Kansans who wish to ride for two cents can go to Nebraska and do it, If their own legislature fail3 to provide a way. Things are gradually coming the people's way. Pretty soon there will be an actual revision of the tariff, and the great protected trusts will have to lower their prices. If a government highway Is to be built from Fort Leavenworth to Fort Riley, it will be a. wonder If Kansas City does not Insist that It must go through that place. Mr. Holman, the husband of the mother of Evelyn Thaw, has issued a statement In defense of Mrs. Holman. But Mr. Holman evidently has had no great experience as a press agent. The Panama canal Is now to be dug ty Major Goethals, of the United States army. If the major desires due credit for the work from the public, he should supply a diagram to go with his name. "Fortunately," says the Kansas City Star, "It is not within the power of the Kansas senate to repeal the Ten Com mandments." But do all of the mem bers of the senate obey all of the Ten Commandments It Is said that Governor Hoch Is con sidering the name of Thomas W. Morgan, editor of the Ottawa Repub lic, for the Democratic membership of the Hutchinson reformatory board. Well, that's a pretty good name to con elder. In some senatorial districts it is the practice to pass the senatorship on from county to county, allowing no county to have it more than a single term at a time. Perhaps that is why some senators appear to be so careless of the wishes of their constituents. The Interstate Commerce commis sion is evidently of some account. Mr. Harriman said he "would take over the Santa Fe tomorrow," if the Inter state Commerce commission would let him. If the commission restrains Mr. Harriman from cornering all the rail roads In the country It Is worth the price of admission. Senator Simons and Senator Young were both the recipients of bouquets the other day. The former's was made up of roses, while the-latter's was in written form approving his legislative course and signed by 400 of his con stituents. The Simons bouquet is a mighty nice kind to receive, but the other Is the kind that really counts. Tou won't guess very far wrong if you guess that this paragraph is from a, Kansas City railroad organ: "From the unanimity with which the Re publicans of congress turned down Vlc- tor Murdock's proposal to reduce the expenses of the railway mail service 18.000,000, there must have been some thing; radically wrong with Victor's project" A SATURDAY SERMON". Enter not into the path of the wicked, anii en nnt in th. wv .if vt 1 men. For thev eat the bread of wicked ness, and drink the wine of violence. Proverbs 4:14, 17. Why will not men and women learn the lesson of sin and its consequences? Becauw they think if they stop to think about It at all that perhaps they will be exceptions to the rule and will escape punishment. Sin is always allurin at the start and weak human ity Is lured by the tempter Into the wrong path. At length the meshes of appetite or passion or bad habits are so tightly woven about them that it is difficult to break away, and In the hope that there will be no punishment the sinner put off reformation. But punishment for sin and wrong doing Is absolutely certain. It may not always swiftly follow the wrong, but when it does come It has a cumulative force. i Down in the Shawnee county jail a man and a woman lie awaiting a hear ing on a charge of murder. The mur dered man was himself a man of vio lence. Victim and assailant were trav elers in the broad path of destruction together. It was the old story of wrong-doing a sinful woman with two Jealous lovers. Today one of tht lovers Is dead slain by an assassin's bullet while the other and his inamo rata are behind prison bars. Of course no one intends to go the downward path until he commits some great wrong. He. always expects to cheat punishment. He will turn back he thinks, before his reward -comes. But the devil drajrrs his victims down until they are powerless to resist him. The wajes of sin is death. Stanford White never dreamed of punishment striking him as It did. He trusted in his wealth and his "smart ness" to ward off disaster. But his sins brought summary and unlooked- ed for unishment upon him. He ate the bread of wickedness and he drank the wine of violence. APPLU'SE FOR THE SENATE. This paper always delights in giving credit where credit is due. Therefore it takes special pleasure in congratu lating the state senate in finally adopt ing the Getty anti-pass bill Instead of the alleged anti-pass measure intro duced under the name of Senator Bor er, but supported by the champions of "the interests." After playing hide-and-seek on the pass question a considerable portion of yesterday, the senate did the sensible thing. The Getty bill is not as string ent as the Stone bill that passed the house, but It will do an immense amount of good. The Porter bill. while it would have shut out public officials from the benefits of passes, would not have shut off the profes sional politicians who use passes to aid them in manipulating politics, nor would it have kept the railroads from giving these little courtesies to" friends of officials. Such a law would do lit tle good compared with what the Getty bill Will. .-t.v.i;. ?r, i. Besides, no one really ought to ride free except those who are clearly en titled to do so because of some legiti mate relation with the railroads. If other people are hauled free, the pub lic has to pay for their transportation. THE GRAFT STAYS. And so, after all, the country is not to be saved five million dollars a year by Victor Murdock's fight for honesty in weighing the malls. Mr. Murdock's proposition has had so many ins and outs that It has been hard to keep track of It. The scheme by which the government has been overpaying the railroads for transporting mails was so palpably wrong that there could be no defense of it, and therefore the country naturally supposed that when Mr. Mur dock discovered it and made a fuss about the graft, it would be speedily and unanimously eliminated. But not so. The railroads interested did not propose to give up five million dollars without a struggle, so their lobbyists in Washington got busy, and started to fight the elimination of the graft. First the railroads were on top and then the plucky Kansas congressman.. At last accounts the railroads were ahead In the house. But over in the United States senate a man named La Follette had been watching proceedings, and when oppor tunity offered he slipped the Murdock idea Into a bill over there in the shape of an amendment. The railroad sen ators in congress have learned that it isn't safe to touch things that the Wis consin senator leaves lying around loose, because such things are apt to be loaded. Knowing of the agitation that Congressman Murdock had stirred up throughout the country, they were particularly careful hot to touch that mail-weighing amendment. But the conference committee still had to be reckoned with. Two cor poration senators were appointed on that committee, and they quietly slip ped the La Follette amendment out. Then the committee reported to the senate while La Follette was absent, the report was adopted, and the mail weighing graft was once more safe. The graft must go eventually, how ever. The Murdock provision will be introduced again In the next session, and the country will not stand for the perpetuation of the fraud. Victor Murdock is a congressman to be proud of. Kansas needs more like him. The State Journal has an idea that E. H. Madison Is going to be an other of the same stripe. With that sort of men in the lower house, and with senators like La Follette in the upper, congress would be run by the people and not by "the interests."'' A Missouri editor springs this prob lem: "An alderman pays a reporter t5 to write him a speech favoring the erection of a new school house, but af ter delivering twelve cents' worth of the speech he is told that there is no i question before the house and asked to I sit down. In doing so, he breaks' a' pair, of suspenders worth thirty-five cents. How much is the great man out of pocket, and how would the school house have been built if the whole o his speech had been delivered?" That depends somewhat on' whether ther is a cold-storage plant accessible in which he can store the balance of the speech for future use. Soon be time, now, for the office boy's grandmother to have a funeral every few days. 4V We knew It would come: The worry about the peach crop has commenced.

Here Is a tree story by the McPher son Freeman and a bis one. too Ralph McPhall purchased dynamite today to blow up a large Cottonwood tree about ten feet in diameter.

Nerlv pnvbody can fool We, the People. A careful search for sympathy Is a pretty sure way not to get it. Here is something as true as gospel: Half you hear about people is untrue. About the only advance medical sci ence has made lately is to call a cold the grip. If you had my wife, a drunkard said to Chief Sullivan today, "you a drink, too." Our idea cf a self-possessed man is one who can have a good time on the witness stand. Undertakers are nice men, and use ful, but no one ever sincerely wishes them prosperity. There is a lot of nonsense in the newspapers; and we suppose we fur nish our. share of it. Nothing makes a man so happy as to collect a bad debt or secure an in crease of his pension. Some clerks change positions as of ten as a young thing changes the way of doing her hair. The average man has little trouble recognizing classical art, by the way he can't appreciate it. What has become of the Old-fashioned wise man, who attributed almost everything to the sun's spots? Some people have imagined they heard Opportunity knocking and have opened the door only to let in trouble. If you are fond of children, and they like you, the busier their mother is the more she' enjoys having you around. After the children are grown, the average man has no one who shows any great degree of affection for him until the -grandchildren come. When a woman makes a strong stand for equal suffrage, It usually means she already has a man In her possession, or considers the last chance gone for getting one. When a friend tells you something mean that has been said about you it means one of two things. Your friend has it In for you or in for the person he claims said the mean thing. There is always a sense of secret satisfaction among his schoolmates when the boy who led his class at school, fails to make good when school days are over, and a sterner competition begins.

I JOURNAL ENTRIES j KANSAS COMMENT A JUST JUDGE. Reporters who read to learn have always been great admirers of Judge John W. Wofford, of the Kansas City criminal court who died yesterday. His curtain lectures to those brought brought before him, couched in home ly language, were the acme of human wisdom, and were always meat for newspaper men. He possessed a won derful fund of common sense, and While harEh at times in pronouncing sentence, his words were more often softened by a kind heart. One of his theories was that penitentiaries do not, as a rule, reform men, and he drew sharp distinctions between the criminal Intent of the weak, and the hopelessly hardened. His feelings Just naturally- revolted at the impris onment of children. He found thou sands starting on the down grade to Whom he offered opportunity to turn back towards a better life. Instead of sending them to Jail he gave them a parole, and required them to report to him at- regular Intervals. In many Instances he made honest men and women of them. 'Judge Wofford had a theory that -a man or a woman, who at the age of 25, deliberately commits crime, is ttast hope of reform. Judge Wofford never took much stock in the hereditary theory; he doubted if a criminal nature was born, except ing In the .rarest cases. He held that some men are weaker than others, and more easily- led away from the path of virtue, and he-' always dealt gently with them.i-One day a sorry specimen of humanity was before him. Jail, penitentiary or parole- meant tne same to him, and it .was with difficulty that he could be j induced to take any in terest in the. proceedings.- With much questioning the couit elicited the in- formation that he hadn't a relative on earth more -closely related to him than his wife's mother. His wife was dead. Judge Wofford sat back and looking at the ceiling, said: "Poor, unfqrtu nate, penniless, miserable, God-forsaken halfwitted wretch. No money, no "brains, no sense, no home, no moth er, no father, no kin nothing on God's esrth except a mother-in-law. You are entitled to.; mercy.

Papa D'Estes was a retired dictator, not yet entered into that permanent rest which the cemetery affords to most' Spanish American patriots at or before the end of their official careers. His best en ergies were now engrossed in cremat ing malodorous ctgarros, and in Irri gating certain arid tracts of his Inter for with aguardlnete. Mamma D'Estes does not count In this story, save as the. parent of seven sons and one daughter enumerated below. There were Brother Alfonso, who was destined for the presidency; and Brother Juan, for the generalship of the army; and Brother Leon, for the archbishopric; and so on through the list to little Brother Cristofero, who was to fill some older brother's place, should any one elect a foreign minis tership instead of service at home. But the flower and darling of the house hold was Sister Esmerelda; she was to wed the highest official in the re public outside her own family, unless indeed some foreign potentate should seek her hand. Two gaJlants wooed the rose of the D'Estes, both the Chilombian aristoc racy, and both. of the stuff from which dictators and presidents are made Senor Caballero and Senor Lochinvar. Of those two Esmerelda appeared to favor the latter, to his rival's great dis comfiture. The situation Irked Caballero's soul. True, he might pistol or knife his en emy, returning some pleasant night from serenading his inamorata. But he knew that suspicion would at once be directed toward him, and his chances of .winning Esmerelda forever destroyed. He might challenge his foe to a-duel; but Lochinvar was a better shot than he. Decidedly, things could not be worse. What was the remedy? Like a homing pigeon he turned to the refuge of his race a revolution. Caballero sat himself down to think. a thing he did only on special occa sions. The lines of revolutionary cleavage must be such that he and Papa D'Estes should find themselves on one side, and Lochinvar on the other. The smoke of his clsrarro furn ished inspiration. Only two kinds of tobacco are smoked in Chilombla Bogota and La Paz. Cabailero and Papa D'Estes were of the cremators of Bogota, while Lochinvar clave to those who calcined La Paz. There was 60 per cent, duty on Bogota, only 40 on La Pa& Here was revolutionary timber with a ven geance. Caballero quietly kindled the flame. Soon the populace were boiling like a superheated chocolate pot, The hot blood of the descendants of the Incas must be let. Then came the explosion. There were bells, bullets, bayonets, brick bats and bluff ad libitum. By day they slew one another at the barricades. By nlgnt they fraternized In the cafes over brimming flagons of aguardiente A delicate mutual courtesy prevented any smoking. The adherents of Bogota won. Loch Invar fled to the mountains to remain in retirement until the next revolu tion. In a fever of patriotic excite ment the duty on Bogota was abol ished, and the importation of La Paz utterly forbidden. Behold at last a Just and stable government! There would never be any more revolutions. Every body was puffing Bogota. La Paz was synonymous with high treason. But they still irrigated with aguardiente; notning could prevent that. Caballero's comet was at Its zenith The dictatorship lay within his grasp. He called Papa D'Estes into consulta tion, and formally requested the hand of Senorita Esmerelda; he promised his future brothers-in-law the highest positions in the Chilombian state. His daughter the wife of the dicta tor! His sons leading members of the government! Papa D'Estes's feelings overcame him. The seven young bloods of his house raked their sombreros a trifle lower than ever. But Esmerelda remained tearfully true to her absent lover, and despite parental urging steadfastly repelled the advances of Caballero. Meanwhile Lochinvar was wasting no time. He pawned an ancestral gold mine, and purchased a hundred thou sand La Paz cigarros and ten thousand flasks, of aguardiente. These were brought over tne passes on llamas. and cached in a convenient cave. A month passed, and still Esmerelda held out against Caballareo. Popu- law enthusiasm for the new govern ment had bearun to cool. One day a messenger brought a note to Papa D'Estes; he read It frowning. but returned a reply. That nlgnt a long, black coffer was smuggled into the rear of his mansion. A score of similar boxes had been secretly con veyed to the abodes of other promi nent families. At midnight in a double-barred and bolted chamber the black coffer was nlaced on trestles. Papa D Estes stood at its head, and little Brother Cristo fero at its foot, while the six other brethren were ranged three on either side. The box was opened. It was filled to the brim with cigarros or La Paz; among them nestled a goodly number of peculiarly-shaped bottles. At last a date was set for the wed ding of Caballero and the unwilling Esmerelda. But. as the dictator's ar dor increased, that of Papa D'Estes and the seven brothers perceptioiy cooled For six weeks not a rou oi La Paz had been smoked openly In Chilombla. But now the people began to tire of Bogota. The dally journals voiced vague hints of tyranny. Steal thy whiffs,- elusive scents of La Paz permeated the Chilombian atmos phere. The wedding day arrived. Cabal lero and his best man set out for the cathedral. As they turned a corner, the perfume of an Invisible clgarro drifted to the dictator's nostrils. He paled, and became silent. It was La Paz! The tide was turning. The revo lutionary pendulum naa oegun ius counter-swing. But he determined at any rate to make sure of Esmerelda. He waited at the church for half an hour. Then came a messenger post haste from the D'Estes household to-say that the wed ding must be indefinitely postposed. Esmerelda had fled that morning to the mountains with Lochinvar. Caballero was furious. He urged immediate pursuit; Papa D'Estes and his sons procrastinated. They spoke naciallir of LOChlnvar s wen-nuuv.ii rXwK FlnaHy th! dictator started on the trail for the lovers; the father and the brethren followed, but without enthusiasm. In the middle of the afternoon they came in sight of Lochinvar and Esmer elda hastening along a narrow road cut In the rocky wall of a deep canyon. Just ahead a swinging bridge of ropes and wooden crosspieces spanned the river sullenly murmuring three thou stand feet below. On the other side of the gorge the road ran north to Bogota and south to La Paz. Once across, if the fugitives could destroy the bridge, they would be safe.. Caballero shouted triumphantly, and spurred his horse forward. Lochin var hastened across the span with Es merelda. Ere they reached the middle the dictator had dismounted and set foot upon the swaying structure. Lochinvar looked back, and took In the situation. He drew his machete. One quick slash, and the left cable sprang asunder; the bridge hung quiv ering. Heedless of the cry of horror behind, he dropped his knife, gathered the fainting Esmerelda in his arms, and staggered across to safety. The dictator was so far advanced that it was as safe for him to keep on as to return. Just as the last strands parted he gained the solid rock not fifty feet behind the fugitives, who were hurrying toward La Paz. With a cry of triumph he started in pursuit. A. shout from the other side made him halt. He looked across the gorge. There stood the D'Estes family in line, eight Mausers swung carelessly in their left hands, eight monitory right fore fingers pointing toward Bogota. The dictator was on the wrong side of the river. For a hundred miles either way there was no other bridge. It would be days before he could get back to the capital of Chilombla. Meanwhile the new revolution would have made his presence unnecessary. Caballero took a step toward La Paz. Seven Mausers went up to seven right shoulders, all but little brother Cristofero's, who was left-handed; his went up to his left. Eight forefingers touched eight triggers. Caballero stopped; he was too good a mark against the rock. He faced about and maledlcted the entire male branch of the house of D'Estes, living and dead, born and unborn. Papa D'Estes smiled grimly, lowered his Mauser, and lit a La Paz clgarro; ditto, Brother Alfonso; ditto all the others. It was as good as a comic opera. After Caballero grew weary of curs ing he turned his steps toward Bogota. The D'Estes family camped in the road that night to make sure he would not try to repass in the darkness. Then they returned to Chilombla and engineered the revolution that put them in control of the state and ful filled the parents' most ambitious dreams for their seven sons. When Lochinvar and his bride came back after their honeymoon, they were received with open arms. Every body in town was smoking La Paz; and they were still drinking aguardiente.

Everv man has a right to keep his opinion to hlmseir. Small talk Is the generator or many big troubles. The more a man knows at ZO the less he Is apt to know at 60. Wise is he who knows just what to say and when not to say It. And the man who does no harm In the world does but little good. No. Alonzo. musicians do not go to a toy store for their playthings.

QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. A favor Is something we get for noth ing. A man seldom offers good advice whs offers bad cigars. A girl's heart generally begins to ache at about the same time her teeth do. A man and his wife are one simply be cause hs wife generally assimilates him. As a general rule the less a man knows about poetry the mora money h makes Don't always believe the woman who brags about how happy she Is with her husband. Where a will is concerned a dollar in the hand is worth two In the hands of the family lawyer. The girl who marries a man to re form him is often merely spoiling a good husband for some other girl. A boy saves up for the dessert at dinner almost as eagerly as a girl saves up for the proposal in a love story. The woman who spends more time in the butcher shop than at the milliner's Is pretty sure to have a happy husband. Blobbs "There are all sorts of sunor. stitions.

I should not advise any boy to be come an actor. A stage career gener ally should not be begun before a youth has attained his majority, or un til he has reached the age when -he should enter upon the practice of any serious art or profession. Considered merely as a means of livelihood ex cept where young men possess un doubted talent or the spark of genius the stage should be avoided. The man of small capacities for dramatic work can better bend his energies to almost any other occupation with greater expectation of substantial re turns. It is only the young man who un mistakably Veveals the possession of those qualities that make for success on. the stage who should for an instant seriously consider it. And such a man, to obtain eventual recognition, must serve an ardiious apprenticeship, con front constant difficulties and disap pointments, possess personal an4 artis tic ideals of a high order, and be pre pared to maintain them despite every insidious Inducement to destroy or cast them away. And even then, it is more likely than riot that at the close of his career, however brilliant his achieve ments may have been in the eyes of the world he will ask himself the ques tion, "Was it worth while?" Harrison Grey Fiske. PEOPLE AND PLAYS. The tour of Maude Fealy in 'The Il lusions of Beatrice" has been extended to May 11. She will not appear in New York this season, but expects to have a new play for metropolitan pro duction next fall. All blondes are not light-headed, says the joke monger, while the fish monger asserts that all bru-nettes are not all ln-seine. The Shuberts, who take no delight in Mr. Arnold Daly's verbal vegetables, have instituted a suit for $10,000 dam ages as an offset to an astounding re mark of Mr. Daly in which he declares that the Shuberts are possessed of "the equilibrity of a rat, the magnanimity of a cat, and the general make-up of a bat." De Wolf Hopper lets fall this pearl of wisdom: "Laughter at a friend's well-meant moss-covered Jokes is kindness, not deceit." It is rather curious that in the Shu bert fold there should be two stars by the name of Ross Thomas V., the star of "The Other Girl," and Charles W. Ross of "The Social Whirl." And both are hits. Mme. Kalich's acting aa highly re garded in blase Kansas City, says the Chicago Post. The Star says editorial ly that "it was a significant tribute to her phenomenal power to see persons moved by the torrent of her passions rise unconsciously to their feet, and to behold, after the dynamic climax which closes the play, scores of wo men leave the place, clinging for sup port to the chairs." Harrison Grey Fiske has signed con tracts with Percy Mackaye for a new play which is Intended for the use of Bertha Kalich. The work is a poetic tragedv, differing in form. however, from Mackaye's "Jeanne d'Arc." Mack ave has gone to his country place in Xew Hampshire to devote himself to the task. A new play of Avery Hopwood, author of "Clothes," will open at the Shubert theater in Columbus. O., on February 27. "The Powers That Be" is the title, and it is described as a play of love and politics. David Proc tor hesds the cast, which includes Ed win Holt, Anna Sutherland, Emmett C. King, Vera Stowe and others. The piece Is under the direction of E. F. Bostwick and is to be staged by J. C. Huffman. Marie Tempest will soon be seen In London In Clyde Fitch's "The Truth." Lanvdon Mitchell, author of "The New York Idea" and "Becky Sharp." has begun work on a new play which Harrison Grev Fiske will produce next season. It will not be what is called a "star" play, but will have a quartette of characters of nearly equal Import ance. The approaching engagement of Er mete Novell!, the famous Italian actor, under Shubert management. has brought forth one interesting fact. The editor of one of the important Italian newspapers in New York states that there now reside on Manhattan Island a greater number of the sons of the Peninsula than in anv city of Italy save Naples. In New York alone there are published three dally Italian news papers and four weeklies. Signor No vell! Is ppw playing- In Mexico with his company and will be seen for tb first time in America on Monday, March 4, at the Majestic theater in Boston. He will appear in New York a fortnight later at the Lyric theater. Miss Clara Bloodgood has signed a contract whereby she is to be of the theatrical forces of the Messrs. Shu bert for the next three years, appear ing next September as the star in one of their New York theaters. The ac tress will shortly sail for London and Paris to confer with Messrs. Victorian Sardou and Cosmo Gordon Lenoox in reference to two plays on which the Messrs. Shubert hold options. Before the production of a new play In Janu ary Miss Bloodgood will appear in Mr. Fitch's "The Truth" and "The Girl With the Green Eyes," pending the production of a new play by that author for the star. Miss Vera Michelena was engaged yesterday for one of the Important roles in the forthcoming production of a new musical play by De Koven and Stange, entitled "The Snow Man." Richard Golden has declined the name of Dean of Musical Comedy, yet it is difficult to understand how he is to escape it. Henry Clay Barnabee Is generally given that honor, yet Golden sang in opera bouffe years before Bar nabee gave up the shoe business for the footlights. Walker Whiteside has signed a con tract to appear under the manage ment of the Lieblers for a term of years, beginning next season. He has been presenting Shakespearean plays in the southern cities for several sea sons, but will emerge in modern drama dext October under the new auspices. Mrs. Patrick Campbell is soon to ap pear in London as Hedda Gabler. Mrs. Edna Wallace Hopper has left Lew Fields' "About Town" company, owing to a poor part, and has been en gaged by Thomas W. Ryley for a lead ing role in "The White Chrysanthe mum," which will have its premiere in Philadelphia March 25. Yvette Guilbert has made her debut in a serious and songless part at the Theater Royal du Pare, in Brussels. She scored a great success. The play is by Edmond Guirand and Jean de Hinx, and is called "L'Eau Trouble." Mme. Guilbert plays the part of a great actress with a stormy past. Late in her life a son who does not know her. and who is a young dramatist, takes her a play. She produces it and wins fame and money for the author. He falls in love with her, not knowing that she 13 his mother. She tells him that she admires him as an author, but does not love him as a man, and the young man commits suicide. Lulu Glaser's has abandoned "The j Aero Club," and will begin rehearsals this week of a new play by George M. Cohan. "The Small Town Gal." The play will have a chorus. Fritz Will lams is in the cast. The expected tour of Arnold Daly under Charles Dillingham's manage-, ment is now said to have been aban- aonea. Cohan and Harris have arranged with Channing Pollock to write a play for them suggested by Reginald Wright KaufTman's novel. "Miss Fran ces Baird, Detective." The piece will be given a trial production by the Hunter-Bradford players next summer in Hartford and will begin its regular season in September. When Maxine Elliott completes her bookings for this year, she will have covered approximately 25,000 miles, one of the longest tours on record for any star. Augustus .Thomas Is reported to be writing a play of western life for Law rence D'Orsay. W "The Silver Box" is the name of Ethel Barrymore's next season's play. Florence Roberts will present d'An nunzlo's "Giaconda" at special mati nee performances in New York this spring In connection with Guerrera's "Maria Rosa." Miss Roberts first played It in San, Francisco four years ago. All the rights of the late Elmer S. Dundy in "Brewster's Millions" and other dramatic productions owned by Messrs. Thompson Dundy have been purchased by Mr. Frederic Thompson and will be under his sole direction. Madge Crichtor. has been engaged by the Shuberts for the support of Ed die Foy in "The Orchid." Miss Critch ton is at present in England, but she is to be in this country in time to be present at the premiere of the play at Northampon, Mass., early next month. The Shuberts have completed nego tiations during the past week whereby they come into control of James L. Kernan's new Maryland theater in Bal timore. The Maryland has been con ducted as a vaudeville house in the Keith circuit. A New York mathematician esti mates that it took the supreme court of New York just ten minutes by the watch to divorce Ethel Levy from George Cohan last Monday. Charles Frohman has secured the English rights to a play in which Sarah Bernhardt has scored a big suc cess, entitled "Les Bouffons." The play will be done into English for the use of Maude Adams when she gets through with "Peter Pan.': 'At the close of the New York en gagement "The Road to Yesterday" is to be sent to London, where it Is to be presented at the Waldorf, with Minnie Dupree continuing in the lead ing role. Otis Skinner possesses one of the largest and rarest collections of old "Prompt Books" of standard plays. The books were owned by the late Lawrence Barrett and were bequeath ed to Skinner. Edward Knoblauch, who dramatized "The Shulamite" for Lena Ashwell, re turned to London a few weeks ago and has since completed the scenario of a drama designed for Bertha Kalich. Mav Irwin has turned her thoughts TWO HOSPITALS Two more cases of Bright's Disease that recovered after the treatment in hospitals had failed and life was despaired of. One is John H. Gyselaar, the well known merchant of Eureka, Cal. He was In the Lane hospital in San Francisco for three months. Was so swollen with drop sy that he had to be tapped every ten days. He was steadily sinking when his family took him home and put him on Fulton's Renal Compound for Plight Disease. The- tappings ceas?d and he be gan to mend and is now perfectly wM. Everybody in Eureka knows of his mirac ulous escflre. Another case is that of Mr. T. J. Mulloy of 2316 Bryant St., San Francisco. A few months aaro he was in the U. S. Marine hospital In that city, and was so low witn Bright's Disease that his sister. Mrs. French, was advised by the physician In charge that a fatal end was inevitable and close at hr.nd. She took hlin home and put him on the same treatment that raved Gyselanr. He recovered and five months later returned to his employment.

The boat will be named the Irwlna and will be put Into commission for the bene fit of Miss Irwin's friends who visit her at her Thousand Islands home. Macklyn Arbuckle, after appearing for four seasons in "The County Chair man," will terminate his tour In about a week, and will shortly play an im portant part In a new production. Later he will resume his starring tour in a new play now being written for him. A horrible rumor Is current that "Mam'selle Sallie" will be revived and sent up against the public under the alias of "The Rlzht Girl." John Sla vin and Mabel Hlte will be the top liners, If the story is true.- Maurice Maeterlinck has purchased the Abbey of St. Wandrille, in Nor mandy, which dates back to the sev enth century, for a summer home. It is now only a ruin, but Mr. Maeterlinck will have it restored to a habitable state. Mrs. Cohan's divorce plaint was heard this week in New York. The witness who "told on" Mr. Cohan was Mr. George Silver, to whom Mr. Cohan made a present of $2,000 in a Chicago cafe not long ago. George Bernard Shaw, It Is reported, is at work on a play that has George Washington as the central theme. Ar nold Daly will appear in the piece as Washington next season. Mme.

The. sudden death of Georgia Wells, who was playing the part, gave Miss Goodwin her opportun ity, and so ably did she acquit herself that she was permanently engaged for the role. Many prominent theatrical managers are preparing to raise a testimonial fund for Mrs. McKee Rankin, for many years a well-known actress, and who is now very ill at Mont Klsco from Bright's disease.

6 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAjgATURDAY EVENING,1 LIAECH 2, 1907. SMITH JOXES. (By M. Quad.) When Jonas K. Smith arrived at a certain boys' school in England at the age of eleven years he found William B. Jones there as one of the pupils. There was friendship between the two lads at once. They were at the school for three years, and then both attend ed a higher one. At the age of twenty they were taken from school and put In the same counting room, and they boarded at the same place. Two years later Smith went into the drapers business and Jones was sent to South America to represent a firm. They had been the same as brothers for eleven years. They had never had a auarrel lasting beyond a day. There were not two men in all England with a. stronger friendship. Three years after Jones had depart ed for South America things so changed with his firm that he re turned. Smith knew that he was com ing and was the first to greet him. Neither had married during the inter val. The draper had prospered, but desired to enlist more capital and en large his business. Jones had money and became a partner. So great was their faith in each other that no pa pers were drawn beyond those making It a legal partnership. They trusted to each other in everything else. The partnership continued for five years and the firm made money. This made at least sixteen years that they had teen daily together as boys and men, and one would have said that each thoroughly understood the other. One day, in view of further improvements, they had a balance sheet drawn. This showed the exact share of each and the profits made. There was a differ ence of just a halfpenny in favor of Smith. The matter was first men tioned in a joking way and -in the greatest good nature, but later on It became a bone of contention. Here were two lifelong friends who had handled thousands of pounds between them disputing about a halfpenny. Each declared that he was actuated by- principle, and so hot did the dispute rage that a dissolution of the copart nership was agreed upon. Mutual friends sought to heal the breach, but each partner stood firm. They did more than that. They began to hate each other and nurse a spirit of re venue. It is hardly to be credited that a dissolution took place, but it did. Jones went out of the firm and estab lished an opposition trade. In two years he bankrupted both concerns. People for thirty miles around were furnished with free, railroad tickets to come and buy, even at half price, and they were furnished free meals at the stores. At one time any one who bought 2 worth of goods was pre sented with a cow or horse. Sets of harness, wheelbarrows, agricultural Implements, clocks, hair mattresses and scores of other things were given away daily. Jones began it to run Sm mith out of business. Smith took it P to beat Jones at his own game. uring this strife both boarded at the During tame house, sat at the same table and occupied adjoining rooms. They saw each other three or four times a day, but did not speak. When bankruptcy came it made a clean sweep. Both men went out into the world without a dollar. Smith took a situation in a warehouse and Jones secured one with a real estate agent. Smith secured board far away from the other place, but inside of two davs Jones was a boarder at the same place. Then they spoke for the first time In two years, and their words were overheard by the landlady, as testified to afterward. As they met in the upper hall Jones said: "Smith. I have just a word to say to you." "And I have the same to say to you, Jones," was the reply. "I shall km you some day for your meanness about that halfpenny." "That's my intention toward you." "Good morning. Smith." "Good morning, Jones." That was all. They sat at the same table and Blept within a few feet of each other for five months and never passed another word. They ignored each other's very existence. The other boarders in the house came to under stand the situation and fell Into it, though of course it was a subject of general remark. On a dozen different occasions mutual friends Interceded, but each time they were rebuffed. That poor little halfpenny stood in the way and could not be put aside. At the end of five months a relative of Smith died and he decided to buy a house in a suburb of London and have a widowed sister act as housekeeper. This proiect was talked over at the table before all. All had some advice to offer or comments to make all ex cept Jones. It was a most curious thing that Jones should be in the employ of the real estate man who had erected the houses in the suburb referred to, and that it was a part of his duties to show would-be purchasers through the houses. Such was the case, however, and one afternoon, when Smith alight ed from the underground at the suburb he found Jones ready for him. It must have been a surprise to him, and yet he was equal to the occasion. He ask ed to be shown a certain house, and Jcnes led the way into it. People on the street heard and saw this. That evening neither man returned to his boarding house. They did not return next day. Then the police were spoken to and a search instituted. Smith had eaid that he w-as going to look at a house. Jones had said that he was go ing to show a house to a prospective customer. -hey found the house into which the two men had gone and had not been seen to reappear with its outer door un locked. In a room upstairs they found Smith and Jones, dead. What happen ed was told by a tramp who was in hiding In the house because he had committed a theft and feared the po lice were after him. He was asleep in an upstairs room and was awakened by the sounds of the men's voices in dis pute. He heard one say: "Smith. Providence has sent you here to your death. I am going to kill you!" "Jones, I have been waiting for Just such an opportunity to take your life I" replied the other. There was little or nothing more said before they closed with each other. The struggles lasted about five minutes. It was heard, but not seen, by the tramp. It ended by Smith being dashed against the sill of a window with such force as to fracture his skull. It was the opin ion of the doctors that he -.may have lived on for an hour. Jones started to gro downstairs, but sat down on the top step and fell back and died. He had a weak heart, and had over-exerted him self. The tramp had to climb over him to get downstairs. That was the end of one of the strangest feuds ever started from any cause, and one has but to read the par ticulars to wonder if any human being ever comes to really understand an other.

Last year Mr. Franklin read in a newspaper an account of a hen that had been trained to sing like a robin, except that it used only the four notes of a bugle. Neighbors doubted the ac curacy of the account but Mr. Frank lin accepted it as true and offered to bet that he could teach an owl to talk. He had already split the tongue of a crow and trained it to say several words. No one took the wager. but Mr. Franklin caught a barn owl and start ed in giving it lessons. He met with no success so he put the bird in a cage adjoining that occupied by the crow, split its tongue and began all over again. He figured that by starting with words beginning with the letter "O" he would have the best success, so he selected "owl. ouch, ox, on and or." Thus he has two nouns, an ex clamation, preposition and a conjunc tion. The long double "o" in the na tural hoot of the owl suggested words of this character and the choice seem ed admirable for the wise old bird got its own name, "Toot" on its tongue within three months. The crow helping amazingly. In one way and another it had picked up phrases embodying lurid adjectives and epithets, and when the owl in sisted on shouting in the middle of the night when the crow wanted to sleep. "Nig," as he was called, objected in no gentle terms. He told the owl Just what he thought of him, and in order to get back at his enemy the nocturnal disturber repeated what had been said to him, only he said it louder. In the daytime, when it is natural for owls to shut their eyes and snooze, "Nig" evened up matters by shouting irritating questions in his neighbor's ear and harassing him until he beat his wings with rage and screeched out all the words he knew at the top of his powerful lungs. His vocabulary seemed to enlarge as this anger grew, until both he and the crow were able to "sass" each other in the most ap. proved fashion. The owl speaks fluently now, but it isn't every one who can understand all he says. His master and "Nig" have no difficulty in interpreting his remarks. Limestone (Maine) Cor New York World. Publicity Might Help Some. In his suggestion that the names of parties responsible for railway acci dents be made as public as possible Vice President Kruttschnitt of the Southern Pacific hits upon a scheme which would accomplish much more than it Is intended to. Within a few years half our population would be famous, while the other half would have become hypochondriacs as a result of being reminded in every newspaper and every railway station of life's brevity. One could scarcely travel five miles by rail without encountering a granite shaft inscribed after this fash ion: "At this spot, on June 11, 1903, Hank Smith forgot to flag the south bound freight, thereby derailing the train and killing one brakeman and seven tramps.

It lias Com at Last to Christian Science Managers. Son of Mrs. Eddy Snes for an Accounting. POWERFUL BACKING. Men of Wealth and Ability Be hind the Action. rialutiffls Being Made Use of by the Others. New Tork. .March 2. Public spirited citizens, powerful and wealthy, accord ing to the World today, are behind a suit instituted in the courts of New Hampshire by her son, George W. Glover, and other relatives to secure an accounting of the financial affairs of Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Eddy, head of the Christian Science church. The .'movement was a systematic one and was seriously begun on November 22, last, when a man. who Is not named, went to Lead. S. D., where George W. Glo.'er, Mrs. Eddy's only son, lived, to see if he could enlist the son to fight in the mother's behalf. The missioncr had with him two letters signed by ex Senator William E. Chandler, who had become interested In the movement and had consented to act as counsel. One letter was addressed to Glover. It stated that the ex-senator had con sented to act as legal counsel concern ing certain questions which had arisen in connection with Mrs. Eddy: that it was important for public and private reasons that these questions should be investigated and urged that the son should aid in their solution and settle ment. The other letter addressed to the mis sioner, stated what the questions were that had arisen and advised that Mrs. Eddy's son and other relatives should be impressed with their duty. If these failed to act. the ex-senator is quoted as writing. "It should be done by such right minded citizens as are in sympa thy with the commendable movement." The missioner, it is stated, was con vinced that he had before him a hard task because Glover was known to be extremely loyal to his mother and iie had been represented as living in afflu ence in his South Dakota home. Part of this only was true, it is sta ted. He was found to be intensely loyal to his mother, but he was found to be poor and had no rich or influen tial friend. When the case was laid before him, with Mr. Chandler's letter, he consent 1 ed to act, but made one provision.- il lustrating, it is said, his firm intent to be both wise and just. The plan be proposed was that of at once seeing his mother and investigating her men tal state before he finally committed himself to a move. Glover and his daughter Mary, ac cording to the story, saw Mrs. Eddy on January 2. last and whatever doubts Glover may have had as to his duty were remove it is stated, by the ap pearance and words of his mother. The World also published a long statement signed by Glover and his daughter in which the visit to Mrs. Eddy is described. George Washington Glover, is Mrs. Eddy's only child. In December, 1843, when Mrs. Eddy was 22 years of age, Phe married George Washington Glov er, who had been a companion of her oldest brother, Samuel Baker. After their marriage air. and Mrs. Glover went to Wilmington. S. C. where Mr. Glover could obtain high wages as a brick layer. Six months af terwards he died of yellow fever and Mrs. Glover returned to her father's home at Tilton. X. H.. where four months later the son was born. It has been stated that Mrs. Eddy pave up this son when he was a baby, hut Mrs. Eddy has denied this. Trie family which cared for him, she said, told him that she was dead. She nevl er saw him until he was 34 years old. Allegations of the Bill. Concord, N. H., March 2. A bill in equity has been filed to secure an ac counting of the financial affairs of Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Eddv, head of the Christian Science church, hv m Eddy's son. George W. Glover of Deadwood, S. D., and his daughter. Miss? Mary Baker Glover, and George W. Baker of Bangor, Me., nephew and "next friend" of Mrs. Eddy. The bill is directed against Alfred Farlow and other trustees of the Christian Science church in Boston, and Calvin A. Frye. Mrs. Eddy's sec retary; Lewis O. Strang, her assistant secretary, and Herman S. Herring, fir?t reader of the church in Concord. Besides demanding an accounting of nil transactions regarding Mrs. Eddy's affairs, the bill asks for restitution, in case any wrongdoing appears; for an injunction during litigation against in terference with her property and busi ness, and for a receiver. In a statement issued by former United States Senator William E. Chandler, special counsel in the ac tion, it is declared Mr. Glover is actu ated by no spirit of disrespect to his mother, but believes that the proceed ing is In her real interest. Mr. Glover says that the action is rot directed against the religion of the Christian Scientists. The statement further declares that Mr. Glover had long thought his mother was growing too feeble in body and mind to attend to important business matters, but that for' a long time he was unable to con firm this suspicion because those about her seemed unwilling to allow even her nearest relatives to have an inter view long enough to reveal her actual condition. Early-in January, it is said. Mr. Glo ver, during a visit to Concord, was en abled to have a short talk with his mother and after due consideration he decided on the present action as an im perative duty too Ions neglected. Specifically the bill alleges that the nominal plaintiff. Mr. Eddy, who sue "by her next friend." has for a long time been incompetent to do usinei-a or understand tiar.sactions conducted in her name in connection wi h her property. The next allegation Is. that the defendants have possessed them Felves of her personal property and have carried on her business. It is also alleged that having done this, knowing of her infirmity, they have become trustees for nearly all of the property which has come into her possession, and are bound to give ac count thereof and of all the transac tions in her name. It Is declared that there is reason to fear that the defendants wrong fully converted some of her property to their own use. and that there are transactions of which an account should be given. John W. Kelly, of Portsmouth, and the firm of Martin Howe, of Concord, appear as counsel in the case for the plaintiff, with former Chandler, act plaintifT, with former Senator Chand ler, acting as special counsel. In Spirit of Kindness. Deadwood, S. D., March 2. When shown the dispatch regarding the suit filed in Concord, N. H., George C. Glover, son of Mrs. Eddy said: "This suit was brought in a spirit of the greatest kindness and respect to mother, and is not a reflection upon either her or the Christian Science re ligion. When I visited mother at Con cord in January I soon found that her mental condition was so far impaired that she could not attend to financial affairs or give any intelligent direc tion to any business of hers which might be of importance. All her busi ness is necessarily conducted by per sons surrounding her at Concord and in charge of a secretary at Boston. "I felt it my duty as her son to take action for her protection and that her property." LEADETtS ARE SURPRISED. Important Feature of Glover Suit Is Petition for a Receiver. Concord, N. H., March 2. Develop ments regarding the bill in equity filed yesterday to secure an accounting of the financial affairs of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, head of the Christian Science organization, are awaited with great interest today. Christian Scientist lead ers are apparently surprised. All the defendants, viz.: Calvin A. Frye, Irving C. Tomlinson, Herman S. Herring and Lewis C. Strang of this city; Alfred Farlow, Ira O. Knapp, William B. John son and Joseph Armstrong of Boston: Edward A. Kimball of Chicago and Stephen A. Chase of Falls River, Mass., are directors or trustees in the Christian Science church. The petition in detail affirms that Mrs. Eddy is incapacitated through infirmi ties incident to old age to "manage her affairs and protect her property with prudence and discretion against undue influence, control or fraud of others, or to take charge of and manage the present legal proceedings." and that Mrs. Eddy lives "under the charge and in the custody of defendants Frye and Strang and that very few persons are allowed to see her except for a few minutes." Mr. Glover further claims that in the last 25 years his letters to his mother have never had a direct reply from her and from other matters re lating to his attempts at correspond ence. Mr. Glover states in the petition he "believes that Mrs. Eddy is sur rounded by designing persons who are using her and her condition for their own selfish ends. The petition then sets forth the "ex tensive and valuable" real and person al property of Mrs. Eddy and alleges that the defendants ana omers man age the same according to their own will and pleasure." In-dealing with the revenue accruing to Mrs. Eddv from her writings, jour nals, and from the Massachusetts Metaphysical college for teacning the pathology cf spiritual power or scl of metaphysical .healing, the plaintiff sets forth that- probably: sev eral million aouars was neiieu w mc leader of the cult. The petition alleges "that there Is abundant reason to believe that the defendants and their associates have wrongfully converted to their own pri vate uses, cr otherwise, misappro priated or unlawfully diverted large sums of money and large amounts of property of the said Mary Baker G. Eddv. These plaintiffs claim that the defendants should now be adjudged to have been trustees thereof and should be compelled to give an account there of and make restitution thereof." In closing the plaintiffs pray that the defendants "be enjoined during the pendency of the present suit in equity, not to interfere with or undertake to manage or control any of the business or property of Mrs. Eddy or to do any act whatever in her name or behalf under any pretext or under any power of attorney and that a receiver or re n.ivm he anoointed to take possession of all the property of the said Mh. Mary B. G. Eddy, now in tne nanas or under -the control of the defendants, and to manage all her business affairs: and to make such ultimate di&positlon of all her estate as this court may hereafter decide to be wise and Drud ent."

The last nail was driven into the coffin which inclosed Murdock's plan of determin ing the daily weight of the mail when the senate accepted the conference re port on the postofflce appropriation bill yesterday. Senator LaFollette was temporarily indisposed and could not attend the session. Even if he had been present it would have been impossible to have accomplished results and it was agreed that the contest should be abandoned for this session. It will be renewed at the next ses sion tf the congress. Bis Surplus for February. Washington, March 2.

If the state shouid appropriate the whole $2,000 in a lump it could buy the governor a very fai; touring car, and could cut out most cf the expense maintenance.

SHIP SUBSIDY AT LAST, Ilouse Finally Passes the Bill by a Narrow Margin. "Washington. March 2. It has been years since the house was the scene of so royal a battle between the two great parties as was witnessed there over the ship subsidy bill. The bill was passed, but not until after it had been once defeated, and this fact in itself shows how close the alignment was. When the first vote' disclosed a majority against the measure, the Democrats and their Republican allies made the house ring with cheers. There were several roll calls before the final favorable result was secured. The vote on the Littauer substitute was defeated on the first vote ayes isn. nays 161. The Democrats could not retain their lead, however, for on a vote to lay on the table a motion to reconsider, the opponents of the ship subsidy were defeated 156 to 159, and the vote to reconsider the first vote was adopted. 164 to 154. Immediately after the first -ballot desertions began and on the final vote to pass the bill as amended the work done by the Republican leaders dur ing the heat of the battle was made manifest. The bill was passed, 155 to 149. The following Republicans voted with the Democrats in opposition: Burton, O.; campoen. Kan.; unap man. 111.; Cooper. Wis.; Darragh, Mich.; Davidson, Wis.; Davis, Minn.; Fordnev. Mich.; Foster. Vt.; Fulker- son. Mo.: Gilhams, Ind.: Graff,. 111.; Gronna. X. D.; Hamilton, Mich.; Hin shaw. Neb.; Holliday, Ind.; Jenkins, Wis.: Kinkaid. Neb.; Kopf, 111.; C. G. Landis. Ind.; Fred Ladls, Ind.; Law rence, Mass.; Lowden. 111.; Mann, III.; Marshall. N. D. Miller, Kan.: Moueer, O.; Murdock. Kan.; Nelson, Wis.; Per kins, N. Y.; Stafford. Wis.; Steenerson, Minn.; Stevens, Minn.; Volstead, Minn.; Webber. O.: Weems, O.; Wil son. 111.; Woodyard. W. Va. Fifty-two Republicans voted with the Democrats on the first roll call. On the vote of Mr. Williams to lay the motion to reconsider on the table, fifty Republicans voted with the Demo- crats. On the vote to adopt the sub stitute there were forty-three Repub lican "insurgents," and on its final passage, there were forty-one. Only four steamship lines are to be subsidized under the measure in the form finally agreed upon, and all of these are to sail for South American ports. One of the lines will be from the Atlantic coast to Brazil; a second from the Atlantic coast to Argentina, the third between the Gulf of Mexico and Brazil. The fourth line will be from the Pacific coast to Panama, Peru and Chile. The annual subsidy -'for each of these lines is tobe $300,000 for a monthly mail service', or. $600,000 for a fortnightly service excepting the Argentine line, which is to have $400. 000 for a monthly .service, or $800,000 for a fortnightly service. No American cities are named as ports" from which any of the lines are to start and the bill is so worded that the line in the Pacific to South America can touch at any number of ports in'ithe United States. The same is true of -the Atlantic lines. The. bill provides that. Vessels profiting by the subsidy, must have a speed of not less than 1ft knots. It has been repeatedly stated on the floor of the house that no ships now engaged in the South American -trade can make any such speed. DRAGGED FROM OPERA. Senators Arrested and Called Before Bar of Senate. The only feature of the night ses sion of the senate, was a faked up call of the senate on senate bill 422.

Nays Ben son, Carver, Dolley, Fulton, Griffin, Hodges, Lower, ..Martin of Woodson, Miller, Qulncy, Stewart," Stillings, Waggener, Wilkerson, Young. This made a tie and Senator Noftz ger moved a call of the senate. It was well known that most "of the ab sentees were attending the grand op era. The sergeant at arms was deco rated with his large, Ted badge and ordered to bring in the victims. "While he was engaged in rounding up, the senate, under locked doors, gave way to humor. Senator' Smith read an original poem which he credited to James Troutman, Senator Stillings was called upon to explain the work ings of his mulct tax law, and Senator Carver to explain his game law. Mr. Neff. representative of the Alaska Yukon Exposition company, .was call ed upon to explain his proposition and then fined a barrel of apples for ad dressing the senate as .'gentlemen." The first senatorial victim to" be brought in was Senator Hayden, clad In glad garments, spike tail coat and so forth. The sergeant at arms reported that Senator Hayden was the only victim he could .deliver, becasja number of other senators" whom he found at the opera house, refused to come without a warrant. f; f-'"-. "Send .'a? warrant." called 'Haycten, who warited company' Jri his predica ment. "I move that '"-("the secretary draw up the usual warrant for the ap prehension and arrest of the culprits," said Senator Waggener. The motion carried and the secretary got busy. A bunch of senators had Just start ed to sing "Suwanee river," when the sergeant at arms came- In with Senator Porter of Crawford and Senato Brewer. They were voted, leaving the vote still a tie. Then "Suwanee river" was resumed where it left off. At 11:20 the embargo was raised. The chair announced that he was sat isfied that the other absentees could not be called, so they all changed their vote to "aye," arid bill 4 22 was passed. This is the "Indeterminate sentence" bill, relating te paroled con victs. A motion to adjourn until 10 o'clock this morning was carried, and then the three delinquents were called be fore the bar of the senate and asked for excuses.

FINDS HISJONGUE Harrlnian Can Talk How That Inrestigation Is Orer. Discusses the Work of the terstate Commission. In- HE WANTS FAIR PLAY. Sajslt Is More Important Than the Square I)eal.- Sajs Administration Slight Be in Better Business. Washington-. March 2. E. H. Harri man, who is in Washington for a few days accompanied by his family, in dis cussing the recent investigation by the Interstate commerce commission in New York today said: "There was not a single new point brought out in the inquiry. It was sim ply a rehash of matter that was given wide publicity seven years ago. This continual reform agitation simply shows the animosity that exists today against men and corporations that have made a success. The interstate commerce com mission could produce far better results if the members would try to co-operate with the business interests of the coun try instead of antagonizing them. "In view of the unfair methods of the administration, as carried out by the interstate commerce commission, there is no incentive for a man to be successful, but I am sure that in the end the American spirit of old of 'fair play' will prevail. That is more to the purpose than a 'square deal.' We may have a 'square deal," but unfair play. There seems to be a tendency among all unsuccessful people to assail those who are successful. All the so called charges made at the recent hearing in New York are fully covered In the ap plication in October, 1900, for listing the Chicago Alton railway securities in the new stock exchange, and every point brought out by the interstate commerce commissioners, the other day was given publicity at that time. This circular to which I refer men tioned the fact that $31,988,000 In three per cent bonds were sold to the stockholders at 65, and that the amount. $22,444,177.66. that had for merly been charged to Income, were properly charged to construction." He then went into details concerning the Alton deal. TALK IT TO DEATH. Plan of. Democrats to. Defeat Ship Subsidy Bill. Wasninjhon) Mari; 2.

The. understanding was the re sult of a conference oh the floor of the senate between leaders of the mi nority and Representative John Sharp William and Representative Swager Shirley,- leaders of the minority in the house,- who were i opposed to the pis sage of the measure- by-,the house yes terday. Senator Carmack is one of the disposed to take an active part in a movement to prevent the senate from accepting the hous amendments. When the senate convened today, he moved about among his colleagues locking for support In a stand he proposed to take against the measure.. Evidently he re ceived great -encouragement for he announced a little later: "The senate will not concur in the amendments if I can get one or two men to-help me, and I think I hive them now." He was asked if he intended to speik at length against the measure. He re plied that if it became necessary he was inclined to take up a little of the senate's time. Ths? statement was ac companied with a confident smile tint indicated that he had little doubt of the result. J H. CRIDER RESIGNS. Grand Master of the A. O. IT. W. Lodge x' Quits the Place. Lawrence.

The contract for the wrecking of buildings on the sit had been let .and 'Work begun. Actual work 6fY' construction on the ii'sw building was -6 tart as soon as the preliminary -work -was finished.

These, with the recent, ad vance in salaries his company has made, make it imperative to retrench in expenditures. EXD.OF-AN AHMY ROMANCE.

Senate Again lUrersts Itself on Pass Question. Stringent Bill bj Wyandotte Senator Is Adopted. BETTS STOOD ALONE. Shawnee Senator Only Oppon ent of Measure at Close. Fitzpat rick's Bri II ian t 1'arlU mentary Battle in Opposition. After having reversed itself five times in two days, the Kansas stat senate on Friday afternoon passed th Getty antipass law by a vote of 39 to 1, and reached the end of one of th most remarkable and spectacular struggles ever witnessed in the Kan sas legislature. Senator Betts, sena tor from Shawnee, was the only mar in the entire railroad crowd, who hail the nerve to stand by his guns, and vote against the antipass bill to th bitter end. The struggle 'was a battle betweerv the foremost parliamentary and politi cal generals of the state. Senatora Fred Dumont Smith and James F. Getty led the forces of the antlpasn crowd. Smith, resourceful and 'well posted, selected the. points of attack: and devised methods of defense, whil Getty, a natural v born floor-fighter. waved his oratorical sword and shout ed for enemies of the -free pass to fol low him into the conflict. For the other crowd, the recognize! leader was Senator Fitzpatrick.- Twic when It seemed that the free pasa was doomed, it was Fitzpatrick who rallied the forces, and -spurred them on to another tussle. But as sometimes happens in great campaigns, there wa Jealousy -between the generals. It ii said that something of this sort start ed the break in the Fitzpatrick army. After the battle seemed -to be over, and nothing left for the Fitzpatrick; crowd to do but gather up the spoils, there arose a difference of opinion be tween Senators Fitzpatrick and Noftz- ger. Fitzpatrick refused to yield to) Noftzger on a little parliamentary point: Noftzger .was dissatisfied, and on the ballot which followed, h switched his vote to the Getty crowd, and marched In the triumphant army of the antipass supporters as they re- occupled the field from which they had b-5en driven, and crushed the Fitzpat- trick battalions under the final vote of 39 to 1. It was a hard Jolt for the nervy and persistent little fighter from Chau tauqua county when, on the roll call where the test vote came, he saw his friends deserting him. Caldwell was the first to go; then Fulton and Gil bert voted against him. Hayden ant Huffman, upon whom he had counted, went over to the enemy, and finally Noftzger himself deserted his old lead er, and joined forces with the "square dealers." And through it all, Fitzpatrick, lean ing back in hi swivel chair, -smiled, and smoked a big cigar, and only th tense muscles of his tight clenched fist showed the kind of emotions which were raging within him. A Two Days' Fight. The fight in the senate on the anti- pass bill opened up Thursday morning. Up until noon of Thursday, everything indicated that the friends of the anti pass law would win a decisive and un expectedly easy victory. The senata railroad committee bill, which was practically the same as the Stone bill in the house, was apparently sure to pass. Fitzpatrick, the leader of the oppo sition, ralllled his forces during th; noon hour. When the senate met at 2 o'clock, he was back on his feet, anl his supporters were ready to stand by him. He had his barricade built, and he stopped the further progress of tha anti-pass fighters. He had further consideration of the whole proposition put over for 20 hours. He also had thi railroad committee instructed to draft an entirely new antipass bill, on plans and specifications furnished by himself. Friday morning Fitzpatrick was ready for the fighUV.-He had a subs' i tute ready for thw railroad committea bill, and Senator Porter introduced i'. Certain changftK had- been made In tha railroad' coimmrttpaSrblll by Its friends, and these changes were embodied in a new" bill presented by Senator Getty. Throughout the morning the fight raged between the Porter and Getty bills, and the result was that by a vote of-18 -t 17. the Porter bill was knocked out, and the Getty bill sub stituted. Was Parliamentary Skirmish. Fitzpatrick was beaten again, but he recognized that it was only by one vote, and that five senators were ab sent. He commenced to play for a re consideration. Clever parliamentarian that he was. he hunted for a flaw in the proceedings upon which, to base -a point of .order, and finally found what he wanted. At the afternoon session, he induced his supporters to overrule the chairman, and sustain his point of order, wiping out all the proceedings of the morning. The senators were about talked out. They were ready to vote. They quickly substituted tha Porter .bill for the Getty, bill, and re ported the Porter bill for passage, Fitzpatrick was on top, and'apparent lv there was no possibility, of dislodg ing him from his position. It seemed that the antipass crowd 'was' irretriev ably and finally beaten. Square Dealers Gave It Up. The square deal crowd gave up tha fight, and many of them took no part In the discussion which foMowed tha amendments to the Porter bill. The friends of the Porter bl'l w-ere allowed to make, any amendments they pleased. Senator Waggener made one amendment- providing that any public officer accepting a, free pass should upon eonvletlon forfeit his office. S ator Getty moved that all after the enacting claue be stricken out and the followingvsubstltuted: "From and after this date It is law ful for -any railroad to give free trans portation to any person or persona that they may be able to use, either la politics or business." This amendment was received with a burst of laughter and applause from the crowded balconies and lobbies. The crowd was with the "square deal ers." Senator Quincy of Salina also had an amendment to offer. It was as follows: (Continued on Page 14.J i

If Jack Pal rner. the English Hieavy weight, does all he threatens to io to jacK u iinen, if he succeeds in getting on a match with the Fhiladelphian, then the latter la eoinar to lose som e of his reputation. Palmer has only been on American soil about 72 hours), but he is so run of buslness-fighting that he is al ready getting nervous over the failure of Jack O'Brien or some other good heavy weight to send cards and com pliments to the Hotel Metropole. Palmer and his manager-trainer, Jlmmle Lowes, are typical Britons. In deed, if thev weren't dyed-in-the-wool subjects of King Edward, they wouldn't be fighters. We must not give Palmer every ray of limelight, because he wouldn't be fighting for a livelihood if it hadn't been for Jimmy Lowes. The latter was a grand old bruiser in the early days when they fought with bare knuckles at Newcaatle-on-the-Tyne. In those times If you couldn't change a fighter's physiognomy you didxi't count. At any rate, that the way Lowes viewed the situation, in those day. So much for Lowes. Palmer was discovered by Lowes in the coal mines at New Castle. The lat ter place is a town where the chief form of amusement is fighting, and the miners must have some of these "rough-house" affairs at least once a week. Lowes is the man who conduct ed the club, which since its advent in the boxing game has seen many mem orable battles. This same Palmer who is here now with a chip on his shoulder worked in the mines. When a lad of 16 he had his first ring experience in a bare knuckle fight. He gave every evidence of developing into a champion, and Lowes took him in hand and put him in condition to win the English cham pionship, which he lost recently on a foul. Palmer is 28 years of age now and, although not as handsome as our pu gilists, he looks like a fellow who wants fight and lots of It, too. In condition he weighs 170 pounds and in length and breadth compares favorably with Jack O'Brien. His legs are not bulky, but he is well proportioned and de veloped above the waist. In looks he is almost boyish, but might be put down as a fellow who would prove a Tartar, If spurred on to action. In a rich cockney dialect Palmer ex plained that he came here to fight and win money and glory. "But I want to get Into the ring with Jack O'Brien. If I cant get him, why, any good heavyweight, barring none, will do me. But O'Brien is the one I am anxious to take on first. "I have seen O'Brien fight and have boxed with him in training, but really I can't see where he has anything on me. I really believe I can whip O'Brien. When O'Brien was on the other side the last time he promised to make a match. When I appeared Eat More of the most nutritious of flour foods Uneoda Biscuit the only perfect soda cracker.

But he can't have any excuse now. He's the man I am after." Mention "Gunner" Moir's name to Palmer and he clinches his fists as if ready for action. "Why, that fellow is not even a sec ond rater and the poorest excuse for a champion that ever wore a glove. He was given a decision over me. the ref eree ruling that I committed a foul. I fought fair, as I always do, but I guess a few people that night needed the money. You know they were bet ting 2 to 1 on me. "Some one has been telling us that 'Gunner' Moir Is coming here soon. I hope he does. I'll give him a fight and will promise to give the receipts to charity. But Moir doesn't want any of my game. We offered him $1,000 if he would get into the ring with me, but he backed down." ATLANTIC LEAGUE DISBAXDS. "Red" Donr.hue Will Have Xo Place to Play Bsseball. New York, March 2. The Athletic Baseball league, which has been ex ploited on paper for several weeks, has '-'gone up in smoke." When this or ganization was first broached it was ig nored by the National association and the promoters threatened to run as an "outlaw" circuit. Al Lawson, who had planned to put a club in Wilmington, in opposition to the Tristate club in that city, has just sold his lease on the Wilmington ball grounds for $3,000 to the Tristaters, while John Henney, one of the promoters of the proposed At lantic league club in Trenton, has thrown up the sponge. This means that there will be no At lantic league. Pitcher "Red" Dona hue of the Detroits, who recently sign ed to play with the defunct Wilming ton club, therefore, has been placed in an awkward position. OFF THE GIANTS FOR GOOD. Brush Won't Take Back Donlln, Bow erman and Mullen. New York, March 2. The report that Donlin, Bowerman and Mullen had left the Giants was practically con firmed by John T. Brush, president of the New York teanfl at the Victoria hotel. "All the members who will" play on the team this year" left on. the Chi cago special," Mr. Brush said. None of the three men joined the team In Chicago. This remark of President Brush, therefore, was accepted as in dicating that the three men had left the Giants. President Brush also, said that the contracts which had been mailed to all the players were final, and that no changes would be made. The men have practically quit their lobs and Brush will not take them back. Choynskl is Boxing Director. Chicago, March 2. Joe Chovnski is the New Illinois Athletic club boxing director.

Defeated the Kansas City Basket Ball live by a Score of SI to 22. In a fast and exciting game of basket ball at the skating rank last night the Topeka high school five won from the Manual Training high school team from Kansas City by the score of 31 to 22. For a high school game the playing was very fast. The local team was a good deal lighter than the Kansas City boys but what they lacked in weight they made up for in speed and team work. There was a noticeable lack of knowledge as to the exact lo cation of the goals by the Kansas City goal thrower. The local team was the first to score and they maintained the lead through out the entire game. The game start ed with fierce playing by both sides and this was kept up throughout the first half. The playing in the first half was pretty even and the half ended with a score of 15 to 11 in favor of Topeka. In the second half the playing was more loose and the players seemed very much fatigued. This half from a spectacular standpoint was not as in teresting as the first half. For a time both teams played a ragged game but towards the end the local boys got to gether and increased their lead over the Missouri boys. Ringenberger was Topeka's star, while High did the best work for the visitors. The teams lined up as follows: Kansas City. Position. Topeka. Bartley Forward ..Ringenberger High Forward.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATUBD AY EVENING, MARCH 2, 1907. II "v. RAILROAD NEWS, Pennslranfa Pension Fund Is liaised to $600,000 Year. Big System Makes Increase Annual Appropriation. in FOK AGED EMPLOYES. Thirty -Sto Per Cent Additional Will He Spent. Other Late News of Interest to Railway Men. Philadelphia. March 2 Having grant ed a 10 per cent Increase in wages to Its active employes the Pennsylvania railroad has just gone a step further and raised the annual appropriation of its pension fund for retired employes by 35 per cent from J300.000 to J600, C00 a year. This announcement Is con tained in the annual report just com pleted by the pension department of the railroad. According to this report nearly half a million dollars in pension allowances was paid by the Pennsylvania railroad to its retired employes In 1906. Tha exact amount, $467,614.47, is the largest urn yet paid in any one year, and exceeds that of 1905 by nearly $45,000. There are now 1,940 men on the pen sion rolls of the company. In Janu ary. 1906, there were 1,810. During tha year 200 men died, three-fourths of whom were over 70 years of age. This decrease was offset by the retirement of 331 men. Of this number 201 wers in the 70 year class and 129 between the ages of 65 and 69. Besides containing the announce ment of the 35 per cent increase in the annual appropriation, the amount dis tributed in 1906 and the number of men now on the pension rolls, the re port sets forth a complete statement of the operations of the pension de partment of the Pennsylvania railroad Fince the pension system was organ ised In 1900. At that time there were only 1,130 men on the retired list, who received 1260,433.36 a little more than half the amount distributed last year. Since 1900 the pension department has distributed a total of $2.4!3.S70.So, which gives an average for the sevt-n years of t356.26S.69. The number of employes retired and pensioned up to the present time is 3,031. In addition 1.000 men have died. The average age of employes at the time of retirement was 71 years and 3 months, with an average length of service of 34 years and 2 months. Although the Pennsylvania railroatf was not the first to inaugurate the pension system, its pension department has been so thoroughly well organized that it has come to be recognized by other railroads as the mod"l of sueii systems. Everything is done accord ing to a well-defined plan and no one is ever overlooked. The company's rurpose is to provide for old and faithful employes upon their becoming mentally or physically unfit aftr 00 years of activity. Employment in the company's service is generally accept ed as of a permanent nature, and viewing the matter in this light it.e company makes provision so that these who have: given the best years of their life to its interest, can look for ward to be taken care of in their old age. CHARGED WITH mSCKIMIXATION Lumbermen of Northwest Are Keep ing Their Eyes on Northern Pacific Bellingham. Wash., March 2. Fol lowing the refusal of President Elliott of the Northern Pacific to raise the embargo on forest products, pursuant to a resolution passed last night, the Northwest Shingle Manufacturers as sociation issued a signed statement to day, declares for "a square deal on cars" and claiming that Northwest Washington was being discriminated against, while lumber shipments were accepted from points on upper Puget Bound. In this statement a plan Is outlined for checking every car coming into this part of the state, where unloaded, where loaded and what disposition is made of it. In this manner, the state ment continues, it Is expected that proof of discrimination will be secured, when the matter will be laid before the Interstate Commerce commission. RAILROADS ENTER AGREEMENT. All Systems Entering Chicago Sign Traffic Contracts for New Tunnel. Chicago. 111.", March 2. Contracts with all the 26 railroads entering Chi cago have been signed between the roads and the Chicago Subway com pany, by which the Illinois Tunnel company will proceed to make final ar rangements for handling traffic for the different lines. Securing all these con tracts has been a tedious matter, and It will require something like 60 days to complete working connections. Af ter that the company will be in posi tion to begin demonstrating its earn ing power. In the meantime It Is expected 50 or 0 connections will be made with downtown buildings. This part of the work Is being handled by the president of the tunnel company.

Now, however, or at least by May 1, the -earning power of the tunnel company must be reck oned from returns and not prospects. The company is opening six general stations within a mile of the center of the business district. These stations are designed to accommodate small shippers. The railroads will defray the cost of an agency which will route business over any road desired. The tunnel company will of course distri bute the freight. The stations will thus save the time now lost In reaching the freight houses in the distribution of the goods. EGG SHIPPERS XEED CARS. Kansas and Oklahoma Hens Lay More Eggs Than Can Be Marketed. Kansas City, Mo., March 2. The hens of Kansas and Oklahoma produce 12 million eggs a month for the ship pers to handle, besides the eggs con sumed in the homes of the state and territory. This means the shippers send out more than one hundred cars of eggs a month, and the Oklahoma and Kansas Egg Shippers' association held a meeting at the Midland hotel yesterday afternoon to take some steps to obtain better car service. The members of association say the car shortage in Kansas and Oklahoma is now so distressing that large quan tities of eggs will spoil before they can be marketed if some relief is not given. Representatives of the Union Pa cific, Missouri Pacific, Atchison, To- peka Santa Fe and the St. Louis San Francisco railroads attended the meeting and It was made plain that little relief is in sight for the egg ship pers. However, it was agreed that every effort will be made to send "re turn cases" into Kansas and Oklahoma at once. Not only does a car shortage exist, but a shortage of egg cases as well. The shippers send out eggs packed I In cases that are supposed to be re turned to them. The railroads are slow in accepting "return cases" for shipment and that works a hardship on the egg shippers. It was agreed to send telegrams to the railroads, nam ing the localities where cases and cars are worst needed and depend on the tender mercies of the railroads for re lief. "If the railroads refuse to ship us the boxes or to furnish us cars we're simply helpless." John Stewart of Con cordia. Kan., president of the associa tion, said. "We wiil join in an appeal for relief and we must have it. The egg season is on early In Kansas and Oklahoma. March will probably be our largest month this year. The rail roads now promise to furnish us cars where they are most needed. And they're needed in every city and town." ENGINE BOILER 'WENT DRY. This O-nsed the Denth of a Rock Island Engineer and Brakentnn. Shawnee. Ok., March 2. Two men were killed and two were slightly in jured as the result of the explosion of a Rock island freight engine near i-arisooro yesterday. Trie engineer, Mr. Sehmit. and a brakeman named Cock, weie instantly killed. William Barnes, fireman, was blown Into the wood adjoining the right1 of way. but escaped with slight bruises and burns. C. J. Craddock, a railroad man of Camp Hill, Ala., who was riding on the engine was slightly burned and bruised. He was picked up 50 feet from the locomotive. A dry boiler was the cause of the accident. An effort was being made to run slowly to the water tank. When the conductor reached the engine after the accident he called to the various enginemen and received responses from the fireman, who was complete ly hidden in the underbrush. The ex plosion occurred about 4:30 o'clock this morning. SIR. BCSCH PASSES THROUGH. Millionaire Brewer Returns to St. Louis Over S. F. From Pasadena.

Mr. Busch has been spending the winter In Cali fornia in the hopes of benefiting his health and his hores panned out to a certain extent. He will remain in St. Louis for some time but expects to re turn to Califor:na next fall. Rock Island Makes Good Showing. The Rock Island statement of earn ings for January makes relatively i much better exhibit than did the Atchison. The net revenue Increase was a little more than one-third the gross. The Frisco system did not do so well. It is possible that Rock Island ex penditures are reflected in the net. but there is no reason why Atchison should have made a uoorer exhibit on this account. Here is a condensed statement of the earnings of the Rock Island Frisco lines for January: Gross. $4,859,762; increase, $682, 08S; net, $1,333,189; increase, $221. 416.

MAXAGERS MAKE OVERTURES. They Have Offered to Settle Difference With Trainmen by Arbitration. Chicago, March 2. Arbitration was offered by the railroad managers to day as a means to avert a strike in the event of an unfavorable vote by the trainmen ana conductors on the pro position offered by the railroads. Whether this offer, shall ultimately be accepted by the employes involved none or the officers of the organiza tions would venture any opinion. Through an understanding reached when the negotiations opened the men on one system can not accept a settle ment until the questions involved are disposed of satisfactorily to the men on the forty-two systems which took part in the conferences. The general managers held a meet ing at the Union League club today to discuss the situation. I. G. Rawn of the Illinois Central railroad, who acted as chairman of the managers commit tee through the negotiations, said that tne managers felt they had offered concessions which would really prove to be oppressive to a number of the roads. He said that he understood when the negotiations were broken off that it was for the purpose of submit ting the offer of the roads to the rank and file of the men to learn their sentiments. This is admitted bv the officers of the labor organizations, but the ballot provides that a rejection of the proposition of the railroads means a strike unless the managers agree to tne moained demands for 12 per cent increase in wasr&s and a nine-hour day. What the exact Increase offered by the managers amounts to Mr. Rawn said was a ouestion that must be com puted by the different roads, as the same conditions do not apply on all systems. In a general way. he said, the managers aimed to give con ductors in passenger service $10 a month advance, baggagemen $6 a month and brakemen and flagmen $5, with overtime to be allowed on the baris of fifteen miles an hour at the rate of 35 cents an hour for con ductors and ?0 cents an hour for other trainmen. The Increase offered men in the freight service was a flat In crease of 10 per cent. ENLARGE ROCK ISLAND SHOPS. Big Addition Planned for Company Plnnt at Armourdale. Kansas City, Mo., March 2. "We have made plans to build larger shops here than originally planned for Kan sas City," said H. U. Mudge, vice president of the Rock Island, at the Union depot this morning. "We find our business growing so rapidly that we no sooner have what may be con sidered adequate facilities completed before we have to enlarge again. It Is not the present purpose of the Rock Island system, however, to move its shops from Horton, Kan., to Kansas City." The Rock Island has more than 50 cars of material in the Armourdale yards for the new shops to he erecte'i there. The shops will be used for con struction as well as for repair work and will give employment to500 men. The work of building the new shops will be pushed during the spring to have them In full operation for the fall rush of grain. ORIENT ROAD ELECTS NEAL.

WILL FIGHT TWO CENT FARE. Western Railway Systems Agree on a Plan of Campaign. Chicago. March 2. The western railroads have determined to fight in the courts all state laws making two cents a mile the maximum passenger Attorneys of several of the largest roads held a conference here today with a view to having all roads pursue the same policy as to litigation over the two-cent-a-mile rate. The nlan now generally favored Is to ask the courts to restrain the enforce ment of the law on the ground that a rate of two cents a mile would cause the railroads a heavy loss and in many cases would reouire them to run trains at less than the actual operating ex penses, regardless of the fixed charges, taxes and other obligations of the rail roads, of which they assert the passen ger traffic should assume a share. PAYS A DEBT OF 50 YEARS. Wamego Sfan Returns Borrowed Money With Interest. Columbus. Ind., March 2. Dr. W. E. Weisner, aged 80. received a draft todav from w. J. Hicks, at Wamego, Kan., in payment of $19 and interest at 6 per cent., which the doctor had loaned Hicks in Tennessee 50 years ago. Hicks was In hard luck finan cially at the time he obtained the money, but now he is a wealthy Kan sas ranchman. He had not seen or heard of his benefactor since he nego tiated the loan until a few days ago when he chanced to see Weisner's ad dress at this place in a medical direc tory. He promptly sent him a draft for the half-century debt with interest from the time the loan was made. Saved Her Son's Life. The happiest mother in the little town of Ava, Mo.. Is Mrs. S. Ruppe.

Case Was Adjourned Friday Afternoon Until Monday. New York, March 2. Every day of the Thaw trial apparently takes Mr. Jerome so much nearer to the foun dation he is trying to lay for a re quest for a commission in lunacy as the first step in an attempt to send the slayer of Stanford White to the asylum for the criminally insane at Matteawan. When court convenes on Monday the examination of Dr. B. D. Evans, the defense's principal expert will be concluded and other medical men will be called for Cross-examination in a continuation of .Mr. Jerome's attempt to show Thaw's insanity is of such a nature as to be incurable or at least of such a character as makes it unlikely that he has yet recovered from the mental derangement which caused him to commit homicide. Mr. Jeiome is firmly convinced that Thaw's mental condition is the result of para noia and not of melancholia as the defense has tried to show. In other words he believes that Thaw's mental malady Is of a character which pre cludes the possibility that he could have been insane on the night he shot Stanford White, and sane today. Dr. Evans has admitted that he be lieves Thaw was insane in the fall of 1903, and that he was again insane when he married April 4, 1905, and was suffering from "biain storm" on June 25, 19C6. the r.ight of the homicide. What his condition was between these dates he has no means of knowing. While the expert has been firm In his classification of the disease as melan cholia as the result of insanity of the adolescent or developmental stage he has been forced to admit that at times there were present the symptoms of paranoia. It is probable that the pros ecution's experts will testify that many of the symptoms which lr. if-vans nas strueeled to show were simply those of melancholia are really the signs of naranoia. The district attorney s cross-exami nation of Dr. Evans has been masterly and struggle as hard as the expert might, he could not keep from making some damaging admissions, aitnougn it has taken. Mr. Jerome more tnan two days fit constant questioning to draw them out. The district attor ney's final effort will be made on Mon day when he will draw together the oose ends or nis somewnat erratic questioning and will endeavor to make Dr. Evans admit that he believes that Harry Thaw is crazy today. It was determined last night at a conference of defendant's counsel. held at the home of Delphin M. Del mas, to endeavor by a! legal means to combat the supposed attempt by the district attorney to apply for. a. lunacy commission. The lawyers were unani mous In the opinion that Harry K. Thaw's fate should be decided by the jury and when their conclusion was reported to the wife and mother of the defendant they acquiesced in the de cision to fight the case to the end. One of the lawyers for the defense, in speaking of the conference and its decision, said that any attempt to send Thaw to the mad house where he would have to remain until the indict ment is disposed of, would be fought to the end. FRIDAY AFTERNOON. Jerome Continues His Effort to Pin Down Dr. Evans. New York. March 2. Dr. Evans re sumed the stand in the Thaw trial af ter recess Friday afternoon and Dis trict Attorney Jerome continued to question him regarding the so-called mental explosions he testified he be lieved Thaw had suffered from. Dr. Evans declared various out breaks did not suggest paranoia in that they all differ. In writing the will Thaw seemed to fear for his life; at other times he indicated simple melan cholia, and at last there was the ex plosive outbreak on the Madison Square roof garden. These variances, the expert asserted, were indicative of Insanity of the adolescent period but there was no defined form of paranoia. Mr. Jerome here read from Dr. Evans" direct testimony in the course of which he said that Thaw's will and codicil show a paranoiac form of de velopmental or adolescent insanity." The prosecutor asked If this testi mony was correct. "It Is." replied the witness, "the will and codicil suggested the paranoiac form but the outbreaks and exhibi tions have shown other forms, indicat lng that it was not paranoia from which the defendant was suffering. District Attorney Jerome continued his endeavor to have Dr. Evans classi fy the general form of Thaw's Insan ity as between paranoia and adoles cent Insanity. "I believe as a general proposition that he was mentally unsound," said Dr. Evans, "and that is as far as I care to go." "When did he exhibit paranoia symptoms?" "At the time of writing the will." "Did he have anything like that when he killed Stanford White?" "I can not say positively." "What are you positive about?" "I am positive as to mental derange ment." "Doctor, what Is your opinion as to the mental condition of the defend ant which led him to arm himself?" "That he believed thugs had been set upon him and that he had been advised to do so by a Pittsburg de tective." "From your observation and from the facts in the hypothetical question, Is it your opinion that in 1906. this defendant had intelligence enough to know that h-e was carrying a revol ver?" aked District Attorney Jerome of Dr. Evni. "Some of the time, yes." "Do you think that up to June 25, 1906. he was possessed of sufficient in telligence to know that if this revol ver was discharged into a human be ing. It was ant to cause death?" "He must have done so. or he would not have carried It to protect him self. "Is there anything In the evidence which shows that he did not have this intelligence to know?" "It might have been intelligence or it might have been delusion. An insane man can fire a revolver as well as. a sane one." y Dr. Evans declared that Thaw be came so wrought up at the mention of Stanford White's name, he probably at ?uch times did not understand the full force and bearing the firing of a load ed revolver might have." "When he put that pistol in his pocket," said Mr. Jerome, "do you be lieve he knew it to be a proper in strument for defending himself from danger?" "He probably did." "Doctor, what is the characteristic system of a brain storm calmness or excitement?" "A brain storm began Dr. Evans. "Hold on, interrupted Mr. Jerome, "I don't want to know all about the brain storm generally. I simply want to know if brain storms are character ized by calmness or excitement." Mr. Del mas said he thought the wit ness should be allowed to answer in his own way. "All I want to know," said Mr. Je rome, "Is whether a person suffering from a brain storm, who commits an act of homicide, goes about the deed in a calm, cool and deliberate man ner." "He would not be calm and deliber ate in the internal operations of his mind," said Dr. Evans. "Outwardly he might be either calm or excited. You might not tell from the manner of approach whether there was a storm raging in his mind. Take for instance, the principal character in Hugo s Les Miserables "Hold on, doctor." Interrupted Mr. Jerome, "we've kept 'the suicide club' out of the record and we'd better keep 'Les Miserables' out, too." Dr. Evans, in response ta Mr. Jerome's- wuestioniner. said he recalled one case of homicide committed dur ing a brain storm, the patient being at his institution. "In fifteen years you have seen but one such case?" "If you want me to look up the rec ords, I can find many. I remember one case we have of a woman who killed her children, another who cut a child's head off." "During a brain storm?" "I believe so." "As I understood It, you say Thaw killed White while suffering from a brain storm?" "You may call it a brain storm or whatever you like, or a case of mental excitement. A long argument took place over brain storms, between the prosecutor and Dr. Evans. He did not know how many cases he had known and refused to guess. The witness would, if desired, bring the district attorney a transcript of some of these cases, but not all of them, nor would he allow the district attorney to send to the asylum and verify the transcripts from the original records they are not public records, he said. It is customary, doctor, for a per son committing homicide while suf fering from a brain storm to be cool and collected?" "I don't know that there is any cus tom." After reading that part of the hypo thetical question describing the shoot ing. Mr. Jerome asked: "Is there anything that shows a brain storm?" "Yes, the manner in which he did It." "What thought did Thaw have in mind when he turned and said to his wife after killing White, 'I have prob ably saved your life'?" "I can nof say." Mr. Delmas objected to Mr. Jerome repeating questions, and Mr. Jerome said: "But, your honor, we are Just get ting down to it now." "We have been a long time at it," said Justice Fitzgerald. "You don't think It is my fault, sir; you have heard the answers," replied Mr. Jerome. "I didn't say whose fault It was; I said we had been a long time about it," said the Justice. 1 Mr. Jerome asked the witness if he knew of the famous cases of a person killing an enemy In a brain storm. The witness cited the case of General Dan iel E. Sickles, who, he said, killed the defamer of his wife. He also cited the McFarland-Richardson and the Hanson murder cases. "Is it not a fact that in the McFar land cases and the Sickles case that the defense was emotional insanity?" Mr. Delmas' objection was sustain ed. "Have you ever known any person who killed in a brain storm to re cover?" "Yes." "Is paranoia curable?" "Some forms of it, yes." "Is the percentage small?" "Yes." "In testifying in the case of the state against Grant, didn't you say that paranoia Is, as a rule, chronic?" As I looked at It at that time ten years ago yes. And that paranoia cases rarely get well?" Yes." And that it yields only slightly to treatment? "Yes." "And that some authorities go as low as 3 per cent on recoveries?" "Yes." Mr. Jerome asked Dr. Evans If he agreed with a certain medical author ity who said he had never seen a re covery In 1.000 cases of paranoia. Justice Fitzgerald said that state ments In books were not evidence. Mr. Jerome asked Dr.. Evans if he had read a paper by Dr. Allan Mc Lane Hamilton. "Yes." "He is an expert in mental diseases. Is he not?" "I do not think I should be called upon to pass on a practicing physi cian." Mr. Delmas objected and Mr. Je rome argued the point, saying that in the Preusser case an expert witness was allowed to give his opinion of Drs. Hamilton, McDonald and Mason. The district attorney locked up the record In this case and started to read, what the expert in the Preusser case thought of the physicians who are to be called for the state in the Thaw case. Justice Fitzgerald asked to have the matter gone over again. Dr. Evans said he knew of Dr. Hamilton. "Do you consider him a man of standing and reputation and an ex pert In mental diseases?" "I refuse to answer," said Dr. Evans with positiveness. "Now, I will rule," said the court "And you will instruct the witness to answer the question?" suggested Mr. Jerome. "I will not," said the judge. "Are there any authorities in medi cine?" asked Jerome of the witness. "There are not in the sense you mean." Justice Fitzgerald here said he would like to go over the entire record of the Preusser case before finally rul ing as to whether one expert can give an opinion about another. He said he would not make a final ruling until the district attorney had read. Mr. Jerome said as this point would end his cross-examination, he would ask for an adjournment and that he would submit to the court the record covering his point and also a memo randum of authorities. Adjournment was taken until 10:30 o'clock Monday morning. ft rp V I IN 1 HE Two Crops per Year I Texas Gulf Corn Eight Feet Tall J Coast Country Two corn crops are raised each year in this wonderful land and the richest, biggest, finest ears of corn you ever saw.
