The senate wa? sion today paving the way toward ition of President Taft's action abrogating the Russian treaty of 2. Many senators were prepared h speeches and it became evident er two hours of the sitting that a e might not be reached until night -nator Rayner inaugurated the de- bate with a speech he had prepared yesterday and which sharply criticised criticised Russia. He was interrupted many time?. Senator Lodge followed in sup port of the resolution of ratification which he reported yesterday from the foreign committee. The senate chamber, both on the floor and in the galleries, was crowded whi that body convened at noon. The treaty was displaced temporarily on the day's calendar by the house uraent deficiency appropriation bill arrying an emergency provision of more than $2,000,000 of funds for the government. The house will approve t! senate resolution as soon as it is received, according to present plans. Lodge Yields to Kayner. After the deficiency bill has been dis posed of, Senator Lodge moved for im mediate consideration of his resolution introducd yesterday ratifying Taft's notification to Russia that this govern ment desires the treaty to end Janu- u -.n y 1. 1913. Mr. Lodge then yielded to i Senator Rayner of Maryland. i A stirring appeal for termination of the Russian treaty of 183 2 with Rus sia because of discrimination against American citizens of Jewish faith in connection with passport privileges was made by Mr. Rayner, a member of the senate committee on foreign relations. He argued that the treaty admits of but one interpretation and that is citizens of the United States shall have the same rights in Russia that Russian citizens have within the United States. He said it had been settled that no American Hebrew can pass the frontier ojRussi- He "e- ;Vrred to proceedings in the French chamber of deputies where the same question has arisen with Russia and Russia was made to yield. After dis cussing the law in detail he said: Xo Oilier Remedy. "There is no other remedy except to terminate the treaty. We must sub mit or give notice to terminate. It would be a cowardly act to surrender. What is the cause of this intoler ance? Have these people committed i-iime Lilt! idw ur 1IIM11LU- tions of Russia? Yes, they have. They have committed the same crime which their forefathers committed and which their posterity will continue to commit to the remotest generations. They have worshipped God according to the traditions of their faith and the dictates of their conscience. "It has been said in extenuation that in the policy the emperor of Russia is pursuing against them that he is influenced by the very best in tentions and his acts are not inspired by any malevolent purpose. This I be lieve. Religious persecutors, as a rule, are influenced by the best intentions and their motives are generally of the highest and purest character. It is the holy zeal by which they are fired that quickens their fanaticism into a deadly activity. "It is nothing but religious persecu tion directed against citizens of the United States. There is no other method of relief. Do we propose to keen treaties and allow other govern ments with whom we have made them to break them at their will?" It is not doubted that before ad journment the Lodge resolution endors ing the president's action will be passed. Resolution Is Toned Down. It avoids the charged fault of the house resolution in that the phraseology is carefully couched and calculated to give no offense to Russia. The Sulzer resolution as it passed the house was regarded by Russia as an affront, on the ground that it charged Russia with violation of its treaty ob ligations. Politics playing a large part in the senate deliberations. Leaders of both parties are striving to reap from the situation as much political advan tage as they can, and the rivalry is jieen. The Democrats are charging that le Republicans are seeking to "steal Democratic thunder" while the Repub licans are maintaining that a Republi can president and senate pulled the Democratic house out of an interna tional mudJle that might have caused serious complications. Both parties, however, are awake to the probable effect the abrogation of the treaty may have on American com merce. While they are battling for political advantage they are together on the campaign to devise some means of protecting the important trade revela tions existing between Russia and the United States. Agreement between the two houses is expected before adjourn ment tonight. Representative Sulzer. author of the house resolutions, has ex pressed his willingness to accept the senate resolution and with this spirit "f concession the matter will be defin itely settled after certain senators have had opportunity to air their views. See Danger of War. Philadelphia, Dec. 19. That the ac tion c-t the United States in abrogating the Russian treaty of 1832 may pre cipitate a war with that country was the assertion ot both united States nator Heyburn of Idaho and Gov ernor Mann of Virginia, in speeches at the annual dinner of the New Jersey iety of Pennsylvania her ator Heyburn said that where the cause was just he stood ready to follow the American passport into any foreign land with "our constitution, our flag and a cannon."

John Bigelow, the venerable diplomat and author, died at his home here today. Mr. Bigelow died in the ninety-fifth year of his age in the old-fashioned house on Gramercy park that had long been his residence. Three days ago he suffered a return of an ailment Incident to advanced age which confined him last June to his summer home in High land Falls. For more than two days he suffered intense pain, but eight or ten hours before death there came a partial paralysis of the senses and for I several hours he lay smiling at those about him but unable to speak. At the bedside were two of his four children Major Bigelow and Miss Grace Bige low and his granddaughter, Miss Char lotte Harding. One of the first to be notified of Mr. Bigelow's death was Andrew Carnegie, whose birthday, November 25, coin cides with that of the aged diplomat. The two were close friends. Arrangements for the funeral have not been completed. Mr. Bigelow had displayed almost to the day of his death amazing vitality and mental keenness. TODAY IN CONGRESS Senate Passes Urgent Deficiency Bill Without General Discussion. Washington, Dec. 19. Senate met at noon; Russian treaty abrogation taken up with expectation of ratification of the president's notification to Russia before adjournment today. Leslie J. Taylor, of Illinois, at the Lorimer hearing contradicted testimo ny of D. D. Brownback, Illinois legis lator about alleged corruption. R. L. Kimbrough of Harrisburg, Pa., advocated the "square deal" as a busi ness principle at anti-trust hearing. House met at r oon.

Sherill Clark and John Schmidt, un der conviction for complicity in the tarring of Miss Mary Chamberlain, the Shady Bend school teacher, weer sen tenced by Judge Grover In the district court today, each being fined $200 and costs. They will stand committed to jail until the fines and costs are paid. Clark and Schmidt furnished bonds for their fines and their costs and after court adjourned they returned to their homes. The men were sentenced after the court had overruled a motion for a new trial, which was argued at length by the opposing attorneys. The mo tion set out that the jury which brought in a verdict of conviction was prejudiced and therefore not qualified to pass on the case. Deny Reported Settlement. These two men were accused to gether with A. N. Simms of being ac complices in the famous tarring case although not actually present when the tarring was done. The jury ac 'Uitted Simms and found Clark and Schmidt guilty. After he had been sentenced Clark denied a rumor that he and the other charged with tarring Miss Chamberlain had arranged a set tlement with her by which she was to receive xjo.uuu. The attorney for Clark and Schmidt made an impressive plea for leniency before the court today. "In view of the fact that these men have all their lives been model Chris tians and have never violated any laws before. I feel that they ought to be shown nil possible consideration," one of the attorneys said. McOtnless Is Not Severe. County Attorney McCanless stated to the court that these men were merely charged with being accessories and in view of that fact their punish ment was not expected to be as se vere as that inflicted upon the men who actually did the tarring. Everett G. Clark, Jay Fitzwater, Watson Scranton and Edward Ricord are each under sentence of one year in jail for participation in the crime. Ricord and Scranton are serving their sentence while the other two men have decided to appeal their cases and are free on their bonds.

The Provident association will place these rabbits in cold storage and hold them until they are all distributed as food to the poor of the city. Several hundred of the baby bunting rabbits from western Kansas will be distribu ted in the Christmas basket to the poor the first of next week.

Nonunion Driver Hit by Brick Causes Wreck. St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 19. Renewed po lice activity in connection with the strike of taxiqab drivers resulted today from attacks on nonunion drivers, which culminated in a collision of a taxicab with a street car early today while the nonunion chauffeur was flee ing from assailants. William Pullum, a secret service man guarding John Tucket, the chauffeur, was the mostly severely injured when the taxicab rashed into a northbound Eighteenth street car near Union sta tion and swung it against a south bound car.

Chicago, Dec. 19. Nearly 1.000 hotel guests were routed in a panic I early today by fire which totally de J stroyed the open board of trade build ing, a five story landmark, at 320 South La Salle street. Within fifteen minutes after the first alarm was sounded at 2:30 o'clock, the flames had the building at their mercy. The roof fell in a few minutes after the arrival of the first fire companies. Three furnace stokers who were in the basement are missing. Alarm was immediately felt for the guests in the Kaiserhof, New "Victoria and Stafford hotels, all of which were near enough to be touched by the flames from the burning structure. The first two hotels face in Clarke street and run to the alley directly across I from where stood the open board. Bell boys and elevator men did I heroic work in the hotels. Every room was visted in the hostelries and guests awakened. The sight of the flames threw women and men alike into panic and there was a hurried scramble for clothing and t valuables. Scores of persons appeared' half clad In the hotel lobbies and many dragged trunks or carried suit cases. Although the window sashes of the Kaiserhof cn the three upper floors at one time were on fire, a steady play of water on the building always kept it out of danger. Xo One Is Hurt. No person was injured in any of the hotels. Drectly across from the open board of trade in La Salle street stands the Chicago board of trade, with which the open board has no connec tion. Marshal Seyferlleh of the Are de partment estimated the total loss at $200,000. His only comment as to the cause was that there would be a rigid investigation, hinting that the fire may j have been of incendiary orgin. Within the building many labor unions had their possessions.

The The Are was one of the most spec tacular seen in downtown Chicago for months. Flames leaped more than 200 feet into the air and Are brands were carrerl for blocks by the wind. In little more than an hour after it started the fire was under control. The guests in the hotels represented nearly every state in the Union and there were a few from Europe. One little guest driven with her parents from the Tsew victoria, May Edgren of Milwaukee, was said by the father, Jesse L. Kdgren, to have been the first white child born at Dawson City. Alaska, while he and his wife were gold hunting there. C0ME0rUESAYS Mayor of Coffeyville "Calls" At torney General's Office. Demands Chance Be Given Him to Defend Reputation. Coffeyville, Kan., Dec. 19. "Go ahead and file your ouster suit and the sooner the better," is the sentiment, con densed, of a letter sent Attorney Gen eral John S. Dawson by Mayor E. C. Rice. In the parlance of the streets, the mayor "sees" the attorney general and goes him several blue chips better on the hypothesis that Mr. Dawson is trying his hand at bluffing. The mayor's letter to the attorney general follows: "My Dear Sir: From time to time during the past two weeks, persistent rumors have been going the rounds In this city that ouster proceedings would be commenced at once by your office against me. At first I paid no atten tion to these rumors, supposing they emanated from the streets, and were without any foundation in fact, but within the past 24 hours our local pa pers have quoted what purported to be interviews with the governor and Mr. Coleman of your office. Among other things it quotes, as coming from Mr. Coleman, is the following: 'Mr. Coleman Is not backward in saying that he has evidence which he thinks would justify such a suit. Two affidavits from this city reached To peka yesterday, that tend to show that the city officials took tribute from law violators." "These are grave charges, and re flect seriously upon my character, not only as an officer, but as a man. These charges are too grave to let them pass nnnoticed. "In the inquiry that has been hefd in this city by your office. I have had no opportunity to defend myself, and as the matter now stands. I would al ways be under a cloud. "Therefore, I would ask that Ouster Proceedings aerainst me be instituted at once, so that I may have my dav in Court and receive such benefits as the Laws of mv country entitle me to. "I do not think you want to place me under a false light, and I have no complaint to make of your office, but I only have one way to clear my name, as matters now stand, and that is by Proceedinges In Ouster. I. there fore, crave that privilege. "Tours respectfully, "E. C. RTCE. Mayor." COURT HOUSE BLOWN UP Reno, Dec. 19. The Lyon county court house at Terlngton, Nev., has bee"i blown up by dynamite. The loss will- be several thousand dollars. The powdr was placed under the concrete walls ot the interior of the building and the en tire second floor, w ..eh was in course of construction, fell through, to the ground. No reason for the explosion has be-m gleaned by the authorities. Six Months' Work Been of Value. Has England Asked to Back Holland Says. Him, New York, Dec. 1. When th an nouncement was first made that Pres ident Taft and his secretary of state, Mr. Knox, had recommended to th Persian government W. Morgan Shut ter as a man competent both by ex perience and by executive capacity to reorganize the financial system of Per sia, the first Impression among finan ciers in this city was that Mr. Shun ter would be expected by Persia chiefly to aid in tempting American capital to make Investment In that nation. It was a common remark that it was going to be a very difficult thing to finance Persia unless the. executive who took that work In hand was actually spon sored by the United States govern ment as England has sponsored work of that kind In Egypt. That would, of course, lead other na tions, especially Russia and Great Britain, to suspect that the United States secretly hoped to Increase Its authority as a world power and 0 gain In Persia something of the Influ ence which it has secured in Cuba. His Reputation Is Madr. It was also said said that If Morgan Shuster were able within the few years to which his contract with Persia Is limited to Institute permanent financial reforms, to collect taxes and to turn every dollar collected Into the national treasury, perfect a sufficient system of customs regulations and internal reve nue as well, then at the expiration of his contract there was no doubt that he would not be permitted to return to Washington or to reopen his law of fice. For many tempting offers would come to him to associate himself with large financial interests in the United States. Whatever may be the fate of Mr. Shuster In Persia it Is now recognized in this city that he has accomplished president had personal me 1 Mr. Shuster's executive and construe tive ability, for Shuster served under Judge Taft at the time Taft was gov ernor general of the Philippine. He Was Not Blindfolded. Mr. Shuster did not accept the Invi tation of Persia to go there and help the new constitutional government Persia to perfect its finances with eyes blindfolded. He was aware before he left Washington that the better he suc ceeded in bringing order out of chaos of Persian finances and the more certain the vista seemed to be that he would be able to place Persia upon a firm fin ancial foundation the more surely he would meet with the opposition of some of the nations that have long been presumed secretly to hope to acquire spheres of Influence or authority In Persia. In other words, it was discovered that Mr. Shuster was a real executive and an able constructive force who would sufficiently btrcngthen the weak spot in Persia namely, her flnances then he would be made the center of attack. If he were willing to go to Persia aa a dummy or figurehead making a super ficial display of authority, but recognis ing that the diplomacy of Russia and Great Britain had long been concentra ted upon Persia and must be carefully subserved by him, then he would be permitted to carry on his work with the cordial approval of Russia and of Great Hritaln. Withtai three months after executive power was gi perfected a at means of whi could be fairly ed, no part of pockets of th ti him Mr. Shuster rong organisation by h the Internal taxes and thoroughly collect tnem remaining In the tax collectors as had so long In Persia. He been the case was Speedily reducing the floating debt and within a year he will. If not Inter fered with, probably wipe that debt out. English Merchants Glad. If the diplomatists of Oreat Hrltain find It expedient to maintain their al liance with Russia as far s PerKia la concerned they will do that In spite of the very great body of merchants ot Great Britain. In the Lancashire dUtrtct, the great cotton and textile manufac tar ing center of the world, the apparent termination to prevent Mr. Shuster frowi earr'lng on the work reorganlslrui Persia's Internal affairs la very atronKlv antagonized. The merchants of ln CBHhlre have gone so far at to make an official statement declaring that they are now thoroughly convinced that the only possible salvation for Persia lies In the assistance which It is now receiving from experienced and competent Americans, like Mr. Shuster and the associates whom he took with him from the United Htatca.

"Turkeys are quite scarce on the market," said Albert Green of the firm of William Green, Son, "and the consequence Is that the prices are two cents a pound higher than at Thanksgiving time.' This means that the Christmas birds will be bought at from 24 to 27 cents a pound. But cheer up! Those who can not afford a turkey at this price will find that there are geese on the market in laree numbers sellinc at 15 cents a poand. or if they prefer ducks they can buy them at reasonable prices. There is an abundance in almost everything In the vegetable line that one could think of: iruit is to De naa In variety and in fact there are cer tain kinds that no one would possibly think of some Imported tropical fruits of peculiar asoect. Vegetables are of the hot house sort, and come higher in price than is the case in the spring and summer months. Celery is specially plentiful, and is of much better quality than usual. Then there is also to be had fancy head lettuce from California. Btrlng beans. cucumbers. carrots, cauliflower, spinach, tomatoes, green onions, radishes, etc. Buy You a Mameys. There is an interesting fruit on the market imported from tropical realms. It is brown in color and in shape looks as though it might be used as a projectile for some crude gun of African construction. It is called mameys. There are plantains, also, from Af rica, said to be the forbidden fruit of Biblical 'fame. These plantains, in the "dark continent" are dried and ground into meal by the natives. The Jesuit fathers who preside over mission sta tions make from the fruit a delicious wine which they serve to visitors who wish to see the results of the benign influence of the missionaries upon the native people under their care. Yon Can Pay $1 for Grapes. Just ordinary grapes are selling at 20 cents a pound, but there is an im ported English hot house variety that is bringing $1 a pound. Then there are a number of other varieties of fruits in the stores that are a little out of the ordinary. Including prickly pears, kumquots. and California limes. The quality of the bananas on the market Is a decided- improvement over that at Thanksgiving time, and the prices are reasonable. A supply of Arizona oranges has arrived for the Christmas trade. Peas are high, and the supply is lim ited. In fact it Is rumored by those who are in a position to know, that by next spring it will be almost impossi ble to buy a ease of them. Prices on tomatoes have risen slightly on account of scarcity. Corn is not particularly expensive right now, but it is the gen eral opinion among grocerymen that urices will be higher after New Year's. There is a plentiful supply of low grades of string beans and the prices are reasonable. There is much demand for dried fruits this season. Dates and figs are in more than usual demand. The supply of im ported raisins is light and the prices in clined to be high. HOW MUCH PER FLEA? I'nele Joe Wants Figures on Bubonic Plague War. Washington, Dec. '19.

Colonel Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, deliv ered an address in support of the general arbitration treaties with Eng land and France. Colonel Watterson predicted that the recognition of the "people of arbi tration by the United States. England and France would mark the beginning of a world movement toward peace. "For the United States to fail of its opportunity now," said Colonel Wat terson, "would bring severe reproach upon us. In my opinion It will not fail." Colonel Watterson said that every where he had spoken on the subject he had found an appreciative under standing: of the importance of the arbitration treaties now before the senate.

He pictured the course of the alleged combination which Is ac cused of controlling the meat packing industry In violation of the federal law and characterized It as "the most comiplete and systematic engine for the suppression of competition known to the industrial world." In detail he presented figures re garding the actual cost of a steer from the time it entered the stock yards un til, in the shape of prepared product it was placed on the table of the ulti mate consumer. TAKES UP TREATY (Continued from Page One.) mitted to enter this country and be naturalized for the purpose of making use of a passport abroad. Governor Mann expressed his belief that the signs of the times point to a struggle with Russia in the near fu ture and he stirred the audience by announcing that if such conditions ever came to pass he himself would be willing and ready to go out at the head of a regiment of Virginia sol diers. "Whether it be President Taft or some other pre:: 'dent, perhaps a son of New Jersey," the governor said, "his call will' be responded to by Virginia and I can say every state in the south. If necessary, I will go i the front and will also send my son." Taft Dished the Democrats. London. Dec. 19. Little comment is made by this evening's news on the no tiflcation of the abrogation of the Russo-American treaty communicated to the Russian government by the American ambassador at St. Petersburg on December 17. Such as appears, how ever, expresses the opinion that the only outcome of the denunciation of the old treaty will be the negotiation of a new treaty on modern lines. "President Taft has advanced his prestige by the address with which he has dished the Democrats whose ideas of carrying on foreign affairs are very similar to those of our own patri ots, James Keir-Hardie and John Dil lon," is the opinion of the Pall Mall Gazette. Due to the United States. Washington, Dec. 19. To the United States belongs the credit of bringing about a concert of action in China by the six great powers of the world. The Washington government initiated the movement which now has tajn definite form at Shanghai, Wnat is regarded here as the most unusuai and most satisfactory feature of the situation is the fact that, con trary to past experiences, the six pow ers now practically are united in their aims and desires regarding China. The United States has been the agent in bringing the powers into a common agreement based on a recognition of the necessity of preserving the integ rity and autonomy of China. Whether this is accomplished under a republic or an imperial form of government Is not regarded as material. Although it has not yet become nec essary for the representatives of the powers to intervene directly, the fact that they stand ready to use their good offices if desired has had its effect. Washington believes that success will attend the meeting of the peace com missioners at Shanghai. The American plan found its inception in an identi cal note addressed several weeks ago by the state department to the various powers concerned. This note Invited an expression of opinion from the recipients as to the best method for the protection of for eign interests In China during the rev olutionary disturbance with a decided implication that joint action, which would releve any individual power of the temptation to seize opportunities for its own advantage would be wise and prudent. The suggestion met with a happy reception. Formal Notification. St. Petersburg, Dec. 19. The American ambassador, Curtis Guild, jr., acting un der Instructions from the president of the United States, has notified the Russian foreign minister, M. Saxonoff. that the treaty of 1832 between the United States and Russia would be abrogated on Jan uary 1, 1913. In accordance with provision made by article XIII. It is pom ted out in official circles that Russia has no cause to be dissatisfied with this turn of affairs. President Taft's action in view of the previously contemplated procedure being likely to Increase his popularity. The notification. It was added, was given with full right and the act made no mention of motives underlying the abro gation of the treaty, which leaves full latitude for conducting new negotiations with the controversial factor eliminated. This feature of the situation has at tracted attention and seems to be fully appreciated. The Russian government finds not the slightest grounds to object to the abrogation in such, shape as is actually assumed in Ambassador Guild' note, which Is dated December 17. In a note dated December 18. the Rus sian foreign minister acknowledged re ceipt of the notification and says that Russia takes notice thereof. The Novoe Vremya says: "President Taft has Judiciously chosen the best way out to put an end to the scandalous Jewish agitation, which is dangerous to both countries. At the same time the incident bears witness that the Jewish bankers have become the. real lords of America." SNOW IS COMING Garden City Covered With Coat Eighteen Inches Deep. Topeka Will Get Storm Before Wednesday Morning. Snow whicn is now falling in west ern and central Kansas is expected to reach Topeka between, now and tomor row morning. Just how heavy the fall will be here is something the local weather bureau employees will not guess at. Snow now covers western and central Kansas to a dapth of from 9 to 18 inches and in the Texas panhan dle the depth is now said to be from 4 to ,5 inches. "The forecast is snow," said S. D. Flora, observer at the local office of the weather bureau. The clouds today are snow clouds if there ever were any. The disturbance in New Mexico or the panhandle is bringing the storm here. There was a trace of snow In our Wal lace county report last night. We have no way of telling how much snow will fall here.'' Garden City Gets 18 Inches. Garden City, Kan., Dec'. 19.

SHUSTER KNEW IT (Continued from Page One.) say that it is a fact that the British gov ernment has acquiesced in every move ment made by Russia in Persia, incon ceivable as that may seem when it Is borne in mind that Russia's activity In Persia Is absolutely detrimental to British Interests. The merchants of Lan cashire call upon the government to take instant and decisive steps to prevent Rus sia's further aggression In Persia and especially to prevent Russia from at tempting to secure the peremptory dis missal by Persia of Mr. Shuster and his associates. It is the voice of Lancashire which de- clares that if Mr. Shuster is allowed to carry out the work intrusted to mm by Persia unhampered by Russian intrigue and domination then, within a short period of time, there will have come a great measure of Improvement In the In ternational affairs of Persia. In this city the statement made by the Lancashire merchants is regarded ty financiers as an unexpected and most gratifying tribute to the work Mr. Shuster has already done and to the abil ity which he has so far displayed. Justi fying, as it does, the belief that If he Is allowed to continue unhampered in his work he can establish in Persia a finan cial system which will be a guarantee or her absolute independence since, if Persia is strong financially, there will not be the shadow of a diplomatic excuse for Rus sia or for Great Britain to offer any in terference in her internal affairs. HOLLAND. WOOL RATE TOO HIGH President Taft Will Recommend a Revision Downward. Washington, Dec. 19. After a meet ing of the cabinet today at which Pres ident Taft's message on schedule K wool and woolens finally was revised, it was reported that the president had de cided to recommend a revision down ward. It was said the president would not recommend any specific rates of duty but would indicate that the pres ent rates should be materially lowered. The message probably will go to con gress tomorrow. OFF FOR NEW YORK President Taft Is Expected Back on Thursday. Washington, Dec. 19. President Taft, accompanied by Attorney Gen eral Wickersham, Secretary Hilles and Major Butt, left at 12:30 p. m. for New York. The president will spend tonight and tomorrow keeping en gagements in Kw York and -Brooklyn and Is expected back Thursday. PEACE IN SIGHT (Continued from Page One.) between Wu Ting Fang and Tang Shao Yi opened with, surprising smoothness and thre was a -Complete absence of any strain which might have seriously impeded the diplomatic progress of the eongress. It is unmis takably evident, however, that the continuation of the Manchu rule even as concerns the Imperial throne at Pe king, is considered unlikely by either side. In this connection much signi ficance is atta ched to the statement of Tang Shan Yi that he does not repre sent the throne, but rather the pre mier. Coupled with Wu Ting Fang's early Insistence on the establishment of a republic this is taken to mean that Yuen Shi Kai is prepared to concede the ending of the dynasty. Even though the present dynasty is ousted, the premier hopes to retain the im perial form of government possibly the present emperor designated as the first ruler of a new Chinese dynasty and with Yuan Shi Kal as regent. Empire or Republic. The personality of Yuan Shi Kal dominates the convention. The great fight among the delegates will be as to whether the form of government Is to be imperial or republic, if an em pire Yuan will be regent: if a republic Yuan will be the first president. The revolutionary delegates believe that they will be victorious In their demands for a republic. EVen the staunchest of the imperial delegates admit that Manchu rule is doomed. The meeting has brought from the north many bureaucratic Chinese who after 24 hours in Shanghai express un bounded astonishment at conditions south of the Yang Tse. Chinese and foreigners coming from the north alike admit that within the past 60 days an astounding political change has come over the south. Tang Shao Yl's delegates are evident ly deeply impressed with the widespread demand for a republic but they still hope that the combined authority of Tang Shao Yi and Yuan Shi Kal will prevail. The action of the powers undoubtedly will have considerable weight in press ing to a satisfactory outcome the nego tiations. Much comment has been aroused by the prominence of persons of British nationality, both officials and others, in connection with the confer ence and the journey from Peking to the south of Tang Shao Yi. Both at Shanghai and at Hankow the British consuls, acting presumably under in structions from higher quarters met the boat on which Tang Shao Yi was traveling down the Yang Tse. Under British Influence. Notwithstanding that Tang Shao YI landed at the French settlement, the British consul here took a leading part in his reception and persuaded him to take up his residence in his private house. The British authorities also pro vided a guard for the house in which Tang Shao Yi is residing, and are as suming the responsibility for all the arrangements made for him during his str.y. Tang Shao Yi's host sees all visi tors calling at the house and acts as a censor on all communications sent to or issued by Tang Shao Yi. The leaders of the revolutionary party express much chagrin at Tang Shao Yi's refusal to accept the hospitality which had been provided for him on neutral ground. The date of the next session of the peace conference is quite uncertain. Dr. Wu Ting Fang's associates assert that tflie revolutionary leader will decline to attend any further meeting of the con ference until Yuan Shi Kai has with drawn all the imperial government forces behind the points they occupied at the time the armistice was first an nounced. A most significant move has been taken by Yuan Shi Kai. who has authorized Wu Ting Fang to use the premier's name in his telegrams, that he may be able to utilize tne teiegrapn wires which are now in imperial hands, while Yuan Shi Kai will use Dr. Wu Ting Fang's name in order to obtain communication over the wires in re publican hinds. HIGHEST IN TEN YEARS. Prices of Butter and Eggs "limbing in New York. New York, Dec. 19. Butter and eggs are selling in New York at the highest price registered for more than ten years. Dealers and warehouse men point to the prices as a justifica tion of the cold storage system, con tending that the threatened legislation affecting cold storage Is one of the principal causes for the high prices. Eggs are selling wholesale at 44 to 56 cents a dozen and butter at 38 to 40 cents per pound. Reta1.il prices of egs range from 48 to 75 cents and butter is sold at from 40 to 50. Re ports received from producing sections point to still higher prices within the next month. BOTH FIGHTERS READY. Middleweights Stop Training for Wednesday ?MghCs Bout. San Francisco, Dec. 19. "Chicago Knockout" Brown and Fritz Holland, middleweights, have completed train ing for their bout tomorrow night be fore the Wheelman's club of Oakland. Both men made the weight and are in good condition. The bout is scheduled to go ten rounds. The Chicago boxer is a slight favor ite in the betting. Chicago, Dec. 19. WHEAT In view of big shrinkage exhibited by the govern ment's final figures on the wheat yield of the United States in 1911 as compared with previous estimates the market ad vanced today in a decided manner. The strength shown was increased owing to continued unfavorable weather in the Argentine, where the harvest outlook was described as becoming serious. In addi tion the reecipts at cities northwest of Chicago fell oft to a greater degree even than has recently been the case and there was also an important drop in the Euro pean visible supply total. Opening quotations here were V&e oft to He up. May started at 9!c to 9c, varying from He lower to a like amount higher, and then rose to $1.00. A canard that Buenos Ayres had suf fered a big break led to a sahrp reaction. There was also an increase In the world's stock. The close was weak at 99Sf9"jc for May, a loss of c net- COKX With rain or snow predicted for tomorrow throughout most of the corn belt, the market for that grain deevloped a firmer feeling. The advance In wheat had likewise a bullish effect. May opened a shade to &c higher at 64c to 65c, touching 64c and later ascended to 66c. Subsequently the market fell back when wheat turned easy. The close was steady, thought at 64c tor May, a decline of 4f Vic net. OATS Selling on the part of some of the larger longs kept oats relatively weak. The upward tendency of other grain, however, acted as a check against over enthusiasm by bears. May started c to c down at 48c to 48c and steadied arouna 4S?se. PROVISION'S Offerings of provisions were quite limited and there was active purchasing for a prominent packing com pany. Accordingly the market took the upgrade. Initial sales were unchanged to lfli2c higher with May $15.90 to $15.95 for pork, $9.359.37 to $9.37 for lard and $8.52 for ribs. RYE No. 2, 92&93c. BARLEY 80c4$1.25. TIMOTHY-$li.5o&15.00.

Woman's Attempted Suicide I xi vex to Her Side. Brings Chicago, Dec. 19. Mrs. Emma Rob inson, who attempted suicide at Hotel La Salle on Saturday, and Frank Cockrell, whom she was telephoning when she shot herself, are expected to marry. The couple spent most of yesterday In her private room at the North Chi cago hospital. His presence and his cheering words, the attending physi cians say, have helped surgery start her on the road to recovery. The bul let was removed during the day. In a week or ten days, It is reported, she will be able to leave the hospital, un less blood poisoning or some other un- 1 expected complication sets in. Friends say that as soon as she is discharged from the hospital the wedding will take place. Persons of apparent wealth visited the patient during the day, and all of fered whatever assistance they could. Cockrell was In the room most of the time. To some of the callers it seemed that the unfortunate circumstance sim ply grew out of a petty quarrel. PAID $60,000 TO QUIT. Edna Goodrich Effects a Settlement With Xat Goodwin.

New York Stock Market. Wall St., New York, Dec. 19. STOCKS Bear traders resumed today their attack on the stock market which they carried on successfully yesterday. They were carried on for a tie by the unfavorable effect produced by the Wabash receiver ship and by profit taking in Lehigh Val ley. Declines in most cases, however, were small and after the first hour the list rallied. The Gould issues did not share in the improvement to any great extent with the exception of the Wabash bonds which were bought on the an nouncement that the January interest on the 4's would be paid. All trace of the heaviness in the general market vanished during the course of the second hour. Prices rose steadily until the representative issues were generally ruling above yesterday's closing. Union Pacific rose and Reading Bonds were Irregular. Extensive realizing in Lehigh Valley and liquidations in the various Gould stocks caused the general market to ive way still further. Declines reached a point in Anaconda, American Smelting preferred, Lehigh Valley and Denver and Rio Grande 1 in the preferred, 1 In Wabash and 1 in the preferred. There was a partial recovery before 11 o'clock. Recessions of small fractions occurred In most of the active stocks when trading began today. There was pressure against ine waoaan spluiiliki xo u. icbuii ui ap- polntment ol receiver lor the road but this action had been largely discounted and the losses were not severe. Wabash preferred fell to 15, the lowest price of the year; the common stock lost and the 4 per cent bonds a point. The only issue to show marked atrength was Canadian Pacific which rose nearly a point. Selected stocks moved upward in a striking manner but the general specula tion was listless and changes were insignificant- International Harvester sold at 110, a rise of 3.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL DECEMBER 19, 1911 WHITE OPENS UP. KmpoHa KdUor Fires BroarisMo at Senator Curtis.

Of course now that the people have a majority in the senate Curtis on the next ballots, as Mulvane says, will vote against T-orlmer. But deathbed repent ances fool no one. Curtis has made his 1-orimer record. He had his chance to stand with Kansas. He chose to line up with Smout and Bailey and Guggenheim, and the corporations that bought Lori nier's seat. It is entirely proper that Mr. Mulvane, as the next friend of Senator Curtis, si'ould open the senator's campaign for re-election by a formal discussion of the Senator I.orimer vote. Perhaps during the campaign the Kansas senator may have help from both Senators Bailey and f luecntieim. who sustained him in that vote and who. looking- at tilings big and large have decided not to run for the senate again.

Golden, Col.. Dec. 19. Within three days it is generally believed Mrs.fc Angelina CJarramone charged with the murder ot Mrs. Maria Laguardia whose body is be lieved to be the remains of the woman, found in a gulch near here last August, after it had been washed from beneath the earth by a heavy rain, will know whether she will return to the prison at Canon City to complete her term of ser vice for forgery, or will go there to pay the penalty for a worse crime, murder. With a complete jury panel selected yes terday the taking of evidence began to day.

Yet. according to Mr. Mulvane. the next friend of Senator Curtis, the reason why Curtis v:. ,t with Bailey of Texas, Guggenheim an Smoot. the Mormon, to prote 't this crime from punishment, was that the evi dence did not show tha Lorimer knew about the crime. But the evidence did show that whenever those great corpora tions that raised the corruption fund that eJei ted Lorimer needed Lorimer's vote he vot I with them to pile tariff taxes upon tht American people. That record was before Senator Curtis. Bui lie was blind to it and why? Why dlti he not see that it made no difference rwhi ther Lorimer knew or knew not who was bribed to vote for him, if he knew fi, who paid the money and obeyed t eir beck and call? Well, here is the reason look at the Congressional Record. Tiiat shows that upon nearly every great Important record vote where Lorimer obeyed his call, voting with him are Bailey, a Democrat; Smoot, the Mormon: Guggenheim, of the smelter trust and Curtis of Kansas. That is why Curtis did t see tne truth The railroads elected ng." cried Curtis In 190ft. and in 1907 he s elected and voted with the railroad- owned senators when he got to vi ashing ton. Look at the record. Where will you find such a record as his except the record of Lorimer himself or of Smoot or Baiiey or Guggenheim? Of the forty two senators who, on March 1 last voted for Lorimer with Curtis and Smoot anJ Guggenheim and Bailey, ten are gone, and five will not stand for re-election. The people of other states know what that Lorimer vote means. They know that If a man can vote to sustain the oc cupant of a seat corruptly bought, even though the occupant may not have given thie bribe himself, there is nothing to prevent the great corporations of this country from buying and owning the whole senate, and then having senators Chicago. Dec. 19. President Charles Comiskey, of the Chicago American League club at a dinner partj given in his honer here. 1 hrew considerable light on the resolution adopted at the Amer ican League meeting in New York rel ative to cutting off official intercourse t with the National League except as necessary to keep the peace agreement. Comiskey gave President Ban John son a clean bill of health so far as the proposal of the resolution was concern ed. "Mr. Johnson had nothing to do with that resolution," he said, "and there lore could not have proposed it to di vert attention from the ticket scandal as some of his critics have said. I was one of the men behind the resolu tion. "We do not criticise Johnson ourselves and will not stand for criticism from outsiders. He is a clean sportsman.

San Francisco, Dec. 19.- San Fran cisco board of supervisors has gone on record as opposed to riotous ob servance of the advent of a new year by adopting a resolution for the "sup pression of excesses." Supervisor Murdock. author of the resolution, is quoted as having said at the supervisors' session: When society women dance on cate tables and young girls are carried out intoxicated, I think it is time for this board to do what it can to stop it." The resolution adopted follows: "Resolved.

Boxing enthusiasts here, it become known today, are plan ning to give the police a game of hide and go seek on New Year's day. Mike Sheridan, known as the Jockey fighter and Chuck Larson, a sparring partner of Packey MoFarland, have been matched for ten rounds. It is planned to hold the match "somewhere outside the loop."

So far as I am concerned, no authoritative announce ment of my candidacy for that position has ever been made, but if no other Democrat is seeking the nomination I should be willing to make the race. In any event, there will be no contest be tween Mr. Waggener and myself for the place. The newspaper talk about great rivalry and ill feeling between Mr. Waggener and myself is silly and absolutely without the slightest foun dation. Mr. Waggener and I were as sociated as partners for 24 years, dur ing which time there was never an unpleasant or impatient word passed between us. and I left the service of the Missouri Pacific of my own accord and with the kindliest feeling of friendship for everyone connected with the company. Since that time T have had several offers to return to the railroad service, which have not been accepted. Indeed, within the past two weeks I have received an offer to again enter the railroad service in a much better position than I ever held. I am under no obligations to' the railroads, nor do T entertain the slightest feeling of hostility toward any of them or anyone connected with them, and any attempt to create strife between Mr. Wagsrener and mj'self for any pur pose, will result In failure."

Orr were to be rival candidates for the Democratic nomination for state senator from this district, and were about to engage" in mortal combat for that position, and Mr. Orr said: "It was evidently inspired or ritten by a Republican who is very anxious to become the candidate of his party for that position and who seems to be impressed with the idea that to succeed he must start a row between Mr. Wag gener and myself. If Mr. Waggener is or will be a candidate for state senator from this district he has never so inti mated to me. nor, so far as I know, to any other person, and I have no Chicago, Dec. 19. President August Herrmann, of the National baseball commission has prevented, for the time being, publication of evidence regard ing the world's series ticket scalping scandal which Ban B. Johnson, head of the American League claims to have in his possession. The controversy be tween Johnson and President J. T. Brush, of the New York National club, waxed so warm that Johnson threat ened to give the "facts" with names and other evidence regarding the beha vior of the New York club officers to the public today. A telegram from Herrmann to the American League magnate last night changed the program of the latter. The coup of the head of the National com mission has had the effect of putting a complete stop to the turmoil for the present as far at least as Johnson is concerned. It is expected the next to be heard of the dispute will be when it is ta ken up by the commission at its Janu ary meeting. At last this was the only announcement that Johnson would make last night after he had made known the substance of the telegram from Herrmann. THE OTHERS ARE DEAD The officers and executive commit tee of the State Editorial association have decided that the next meeting shall be held at Lawrence April 9 and 10 of next year. An effort will be made to secure Col. Henry Watterson and J. A. Mitchell, editor of Life, for the speakers. A full attendance of the officers and committee was pres ent at the meeting in Topeka. W.

Henderson of Missouri, father of the Thirteenth amendment to the cbnstitution of the 1'nited States, was the principal speaker here at a celebration of the forty-eighth an niversary of the emancipation procla mation. Mr. Henderson said he was the only living member of the senate which passed the Thirteenth amend ment resolution and he related to the audience the history of its passage. Emporia, Kan., Dec. 19. A strange step on the stair aroused Mrs. T. J. Turner about midnight and caused her to go to the door of the bedroom, whero she found herself face to face with .i negro. Her cry of alarm aroused Mr. Turner, who went into battle in light marching order and double-quick time. He grabbed that unwelcome intruder With grips that sought the back of the neck and the seat of the trousers, and slammed him downstairs in approved lumber camp style. Inspired by his first success, the wrathy householder took a new set of holds on the colored visitor and helped him out of the door and off the porch with a. line buck through center. When the visitor tried to get on the porch again. Turner as sailed him with a wrench and a slam that laid him helpless on the ground. As he lay In the yard, face down ward, and hesitating to move lest the angry Turner take another series of falls out of him. the negro walled, "I want to die a Free and Accepted Ma son." To which Turner replied, "Well, you'll die all right. If you make a move." He kept him until the police arrived. 1 "THE GIRL AND THE HALF-BACK' nT' nV'n A great Rah Rah picture that will bring you to your feet In wild excitement.

FULL LEASED WIRE REPORT OF THE ASSOCIATED PREM. The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news .vr ganizatlon for th exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The news Is received In The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. Men muse have been scarce in the Maine woods this fall. Only 12 were killed by the deer hunters. Those spots found by the amateur weather prophets on the goose bones they looked at this fall must have been un spots. Nor would it be at all surprising if the new accusation of the Turks is true that the Italians are using dum duin bullets. Mr. Shuster's job in Persia must be a most remunerative one. He is still holding onto it, and doesn't give any indications that he intends to quit. President Taft's cause in Ohio is mire to be helped on its way consid erably when Senator Bristow gets there to make speeches against it. Loo.. ..ut lor another and permanent increase in the price of sugar. The sugar trust is contemplating the es tablishment of a pension system for its employees. Frank Jay Gould's latest wife Is to get a $500,000 pearl necklace this year for a Christmas present. Next year she'll probably find a full and free di vorce in her stocking. That vigorous world-wide campaign which the Carnegie peace fund com mission projioses to wage immediate 'y and with an expenditure of J500.000 would seem to be sorely needed just now. Is there never to be an end to the increase in the cost of living? Seal skins are higher this year than ever before. And life without seal-skins and diamonds is as nothing to some people. A Christmas difficulty that is ex plained in an admirable manner by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: It isn't the purchasing that Is hard work. It is the trying to find a lot of 50-cent gifts that look as though they had cost ?5. Another poet convict has been par doned. This time it has happened in Missouri. What's the use of sending poets to prison, anyhow? And besides, that is inadequate punishment at most for many of the would-be variety. Only thirty-six per cent of the school chHdren of Boston are re ported to be physically normal. In all likelihood, the experts who have ar rived at this conclusion do not con sider a child physically normal un less he or she happens to be physically perfect. Most of the guns fired by Colonel Roosevelt are of the double-barreled variety. And so in his discussion of the McXamara confession he is par ticular to point out that capitalists and laboring men are on an equal footing when they defend the crimes of their clas?. Pete Sharp must be an old-fashioned Mormon in disguise. It now de velops that he has three wives- living. This is only an additional reason why Peter should be arrested and prose cuted for bigamy. Such would have been done long ago to a man less clever in passing out stories and ex cuses as to how he happened to have a surplusage of better-halves. So much plumage is being plucked from the dove of universal peace these days that it will soon be a featherless bird, than which there Is nothing more distressing to look at. Not only are Russia and the L'nited States making faces at each other, but prominent member of Canada's parliament says England and Germany will be at each other's throats ingide of six years. The Twentieth century of such glorious prospects is likely to be so stained with blood that it will be no more than a big blot on the history of the ages. Gifford Pinchot's insistence that the country is turning rapidly to LaFoI lette as the next Republican candidate Is an opinion, it must be remembered, that comes from the same mind which insisted that Bailinger and Taft r.ad turned Controller Bay, Alaska, over to the absolute control of the "interests." An investigation of this Controller Buv affair by Mr. Fisher, the secretary of the interior, punctured completely the claims of Pinchot and his friends among the over-zealous conservation 1st. CHAPTER LI. Which is largely a quotation from a bright and brilliant man who lived a hun dred years ago. Almost daily one hears the apt quo tation, "Imitation is the sincerest flat tery," yet few people know the author Of this famous epigram. In a previous chapter of these "Reminiscences of a Newspaper Man in Topeka" this quo tation was made, and something was said of the wonderful man who was the author of the phrase. Day after day the use of this same quotation Is suggested by the imita tions which so often follow a success ful project. Substitutes are dally of fered for the original; these substi tutes are often declared to be "just as good," yet in few instances is the sub stitute as good as the original. The State Journal started numerous features recently and its rivals are scurrying about to see what they can do along the same lines; in some cases with laughable results. This is true in the case of "daffydils!" This paper started "daffydils" in Topeka five or six weeks ago and has been running them daily ever since. A few days ago another daily paper in xopeno. thought it must run daffydils. This is one of the results that is laughable. Other results are merely amusing. Marion Harland is the greatest au thority on household affairs in the United States. The Chicago Tribune pays her a very larse um j for her daily work. The Topeka State Journal, through nn arrangement wltn the Tribune, obtains the same service. a page every Saturday and about two columns the other five days of the week. There are imitators, many of them, but there is only one Marion Harland and she writes for the State Journal and the Chicago Tribune, and answers all Inquiries made by the readers of these papers. So it might be said of Mutt and Jeff and many other features that this pa per has secured and is publishing daily. McCutcheon, for instance, the great cartoonist, draws for the State Journal as his only Kansas newspaper; and McCutcheon, our readers know, is simply great. The author of the expression used several times in this paper, "Imitation is the sincerest flattery," was an En glish preacher, the Rev. Caleb Charles Colton, and he wrote scores of epi grams and bits of well worded phil osophy equal and superior to the one extract Bartlett gives, which is the one above quoted. Chapter XLVII will give something more about this man Colton. part of which was printed some time ago in a previous chapter, but which will bear repetition. In this chapter by far the greater part of the quotations which will appear in this department on Thursday w ill be more quotations along the lines of those given below: From "Lacon," by Rev. C. C. Colton: "The great examples of Bacon, of Mil ton, of Newton, of Locke, and of oth ers, happen to be directly against the popular Inference, that a certain wild ncss of eccentricity and thoughtless ness of conduct, are the necessary ac companiments of talent, and the sure indications of genius. Because some have united these extravagances with great demonstrations of talent, as a Rousseau, a Chatterton, a Savage, a Burns, or a Byron, others, finding it less difficult to be eccentric than to be brilliant, have therefore adopted the one, in the hope that the world would give them credit lor the other. "But the greatest genius is never so great as when it is chastised and sub dued bv the highest reason; it is from such a combination, like that of Bucephalus, reined in by Alexander, that the most powerful efforts have been produced. "And be it remembered, that minds of the very highest order, who have given an unrestrained course to their caprice or to their passions, would have been so much higher by subduing them: and that so far from presuming that the world would give them credit for talent on the score of their aberrations and their extrava gances, all mat tney aarea nope or expect has been, that the world would pardon and overlook those extrava gances, onaccount of the various and manifold proofs they were constantly exhibiting of superior acquirement and inspiration. We might also add, that the good effects of talent are uni versal, the evil of its blemishes con lined. "The light and heat of the sun benefits all, and are by all enjoyed, the spots on his surface are dis coverable only to the few. But the lower order of aspirers to fame and talent have pursued a very different course; instead of exhibiting talent in the hope that the world would forgive their eccentricities, they have ex hibited only their eccentricities in the hope that the world would give them credit for talent. "Avarice begets more vice than Priam did children, and, like Priam, survives them all. It starves its keep er to surf.it those who wish him dead; and makes him submit to more morti fications to lose heaven, than the mar tyr undergoes to gain it. "Avarice is a passion full of para dox, a madness full of method; for although the miser Is the most mercenary of all beings, yet he serves the worst master more faith fully than some Christians do the best, and will take nothing for it. He falls down and worships the god of this world, but will have neither its pomps. ts vanities, nor its pleasures for his trouble. He begins to accumulate treasure as a means to happiness, and t i jjj yjr ..uul..iUU uu .....u auuiiuii, he continues to accumulate it as an end. He lives poor to die rich, and is the mere jailer of his house and the turnkey of his wealth. Impoverished by his gold, he slaves harder to im prison it in his chest than his brother slave to liberate it from the mine. "The avarice of the miser may be termed the grand sepulchre of all his other passions, as they successively de cay. But. unlike other tombs. It is en larged by repletion and strengthened by age. This latter paradox, so pe culiar to this passion, must be ascribed to that love of power so inseparable from the human mind. "There are three kinds of power wealth, strength, and talent; but as old age always weakens, often destroys the two latter, the aged are induced to cling with the greater avid ity to the former. And the attach ment of the aged to wealth must be a growing and a progressive attachment, since such are not slow in discovering that those same ruthless years which detract so sensibly from the strength of their bodies, and of their minds. serve only to augment and to consoli date the strength of their purse. "We should Justly ridicule a general who. just before an action, should suddenly disarm his men, and putting into the hands of all of them a Bible, should order them, thus equipped, to march against the enemy. Here we plainly see the folly of calling in the Bible to support the sword; but is it not as great a folly to call in the sword to support the Bible? Our Saviour divided force from reason, and let no man presume to join what God hath put asunder. When we combat error with any other w eapon than argument, we err more than those whom we attack. None are so fond of secrets as those who do not mean to keep them; such persons covet secrets as a spenatnriit covets money, for the purpose of cir culaiioi:. "There are minds so habituated to Intrigue and mystery in themselves, and so prone to expect it from others, that they will never accept of a plain reason for a plain fact, if it is possible to devise causes for it that are ob scure, far-fetched, and usually not worth the carriage.

The conse quence is that they wno take tnis mode of arriving at truth are some times before her and sometimes be hind her, but very seldom with her. "Thus the great statesman who re lates the conspiracy against Doria, pauses to deliberate upon, and minute lv to scrutinize into divers and sundry errors committed, and opportunities neglected, whereby he would wish to account for the total failure of that spirited enterprise. But the plain fact was, that the scheme had been so well planned and digested, that it was vic torious in every point of its operation, both on the sea and on the shore, in the harbor of Genoa no less than in the city, until that most unlucky ac cident befell the Count de Fiesque, who was the very life and soul of the conspiracy. In stepping from one gal ley to another, the plank on which he stood upset, and he fell into the sea. His armour happened to be very heavy the night to be very dark the water to be very deep and the bot tom to be veryxmuddy.

Re ply was the same. Seeing a fine pat ent clothes hanger he asked the cloth ing dealer if he could not throw that in.

A poor digestion is a heap more worry to anybody than a bad conscience. If men could understand why a woman acts the way she does she wouldn't do it. A girl isn't afraid when she takes a nap In a train of talking In her sleep, but of snoring. As soon as a man gets up a little bit In the world he despises those who are where he came from. A man nearly always thinks his good appetite is because his advice to his wife about running the house Is so valuable. RY THE WAY BY HARVEY PARSONS.

Threats are being made to send Bee Adams, jointist, to the penitentiary because he so far forgot himself as to sell booze a second time.

SAYS VNCLE GAV It's a mighty bad habit to talk about your own virtues, and a worse one to talk about your own faults. I have known at least half a dozen men who would have been great if they had not fancied that all tho world had its eyes on their own particular shortcom ings. They were constantly reminding others of failings that had either es caped attention or had been forgotten. They never attempted anything with out first apologizing lor some misstep of the past and, as a consequence, no body ever trusted them. All six of them failed at last and failed because they didn't give their neighbors a chance to believe in them. Remember your own faults to cure them, but don't forget that your mis takes are not very important to the man next door. This is an average world of average people, and all slip and fall down sooner or later. It's so common a thing to see a man in the mud of disaster that we don't think anything of it, and it's a mighty mean man who will remember an error of judgment against you. And mean men don't count for much in the long run. The world lias troubles ot its own. and it isn't going to go into ancient history Vhen you try to make good if you don't remind it of the closed chapter by attempting an explanation. Explanations never explain, anyway; they only damn. When you trip over one of your faults, cure it and conceal it. Nobody cares and nobody is going to recall the failure if you don't plead guilty. Put a brave face on the matter and go ahead as if you had a clean record. The dead past is dead and there is no reason why you should voluntarily put yourself in the position of the murder ers of old who were forced to carry the bodies of their victims chained to their backs. Keep your faults in mind, but let your neighbors forget them. (Copy right, 1911, by W. E. Williams.) GLOBE SIGHTS BY THE ATCHISON GLOBE.

Pall Mall Gazette. THE EVENING STORY Three Straight Games. (By Michael J. Porter.) If the man selling a patent churn or washing machine had appeared in the village of Hillsdale he might pos sibly have made a sale, but it would only have been after a week and after he had listened to the gossip of the village and taken a seeming interest. The stranger would have learned that Nancy Friars, the old maid, had almost taken a dose of paris green because she had to go home alone from prayer meeting; that Mr George Scott and wife were thinking of separating because she liked cod fish and he didn't; that Tom Hen derson, the carpenter, had been dis appointed in love, and that it hud made a wreck of him, that old Mrs. Travers was using a wrinkle remov er and many, many other things. The biggest and best thing would have been saved till the last, and he would have been expected to exclaim that it was fierce. Philetus Narmore was a feature in Hillsdale He was forty-five years old and a widower; he owned the wooden- ware factory and sung bass in church on Sunday; he was In charge of the fireworks on Fourth of July, and he had been known to give $3 to the heathen of Africa all at once; he bad brought about the arrest of a horse thief, and he had speculated in Wall street and made $2S. The stranger would have been told this astounding news as an appetizer, and then the real corn beef and cabbage would have been set before him. There were three widows in Hills dale when Mr. Narmore became a wid ower. It was four weeks after thei death of his wife before he smiled in public. Two hours later the gossips were betting two to one that he would marry one of the widows within six months. He didn't, however. He didn't within a year. He didn't at all. It was said that any one of the three widows would give her old shoes to catch the widower. This was prob ably exaggerated. Had he proposed to Mrs. Everett the proposal would have been received with downcast eyes and taken under advisement. There would have been no rushing into his arms. In a month or so he would have got his answer. It would have been a timid yes or no. The chances were even that he would have been turned down. Mrr Narmore called on each of the widows. Why not? The gossips said he was courting, but thev were mis taken. He called to talk about the weather, potato bugs, church affairs, fly screens and things of that sort. He always sat with his hat in his hands, and he always rose up exactly with the clock striking nine. Each of the three widows received private and confidential advice as to how to "catch" the widower Narmore. They should invite him to dinner: they should simper; they should look at him coyly and archly; they should sigh and talk of their loneliness; they should boast of their economy and how much work they could get through with in a day. Even old maids who had never had a beau and never would have one sat down and looked as wise as Solomon and said: "Ah, if you only understood how to handle a man as well as I do you'd bring Mr. Narmore to his knees within a week!" Perhaps the three widows didn't want to marry again. Perhaps, but for the arrival of a fourth widow in the village, they would not have re sorted to rats and puffs and powder and told white lies about their ages. The fourth widow was a Mrs. Harper She was no yo inger or more attractive than the other three. She was seem ingly handicapped by trailing at the end of the string. Within a week Mrs. Harper had heard all the gossip. Within a fort night she had been introduced to Mr. Narmore. Within a month she had sent for her father to pay her a visit. He was sixty-five years old and had to come all the way from Illinois, but he came. The widower Narmore had a fad. It was known to every one in Hills dale, and yet those three widows, each one of whom might possibly have an swered yes to a proposal, hadn't the acumen to take advantage of It. Mr. Narmore was a checker fiend. He didn't care for horse races, dog fights, pugilism or baseball, but seat him In front of a checker board and he was there for all night if necessary to beat the other player. He was the cham pion of Hillsdale county. In fact, he claimed the championship of the state. "Father," said the widow Harper, when her parent arrived, "aren't you accounted one of the best checker players in Pekin?" "In Pekin! Why, Mary, I was cham pion of all Illinoy years ago; in Pekin! Lord love you, but I've beaten every thing in Illinoy, Iowa. Michigan. Wis consin, Kansas, Colorado and Texas! Five years ago I issued a defl to the whole United States and nobody dared play me. Whry do you ask?" "There's a man right In this vil-l lage who thinks he s some pumpkins at the game!" "I'll beat him with my eyes shut!" "He's won over everybody around here." "Ill beat him in my sleep." "But I don't want you to." "Why?" "Because I want to beat him myself. I want to beat him at checkers and then marry him." "Shoo! I never heard the like. I thought women married for love." "It's sometimes just as well to love after marriage. When I was a girl at home I played a pretty good game of checkers, didn't I?" "Um-m-m-m. Yes, I remember." "But not good enough?" "Not good enough to beat a county champion." "Now listen. You are not to let on here in Hillsdale that you ever played a game. You are to devote six hours a day to Instructing me. You have got to teach me all the tricks In the business." "And then what?" "I'll play against this man and beat him and marry him!" "I don't see how beating a man at checkers is going "You never mind that. Teach me to beat him and I'll take care of the rest." Work was begun the next day, and it was thirty days and one more for good measure when the father said: "That's enough, Mary. I can't teach you another darned trick. Say, you'll down that widower like a hill falling on him, but maybe he won't propose after all." "Then maybe you've got a mush room for a daughter!" The game of checkers that was brought about between widow and widower will be remembered in Hills dale until long after the children of that day are married off. It was brought about through badinage on the part of the widow a little badi nage and a little boasting. The nov elty of playing checkers with a wom an rather appealed to Mr. Narmore. The struggle came off in the town hall, where the hundreds of spectators could see. On that day, an hour be fore the game began, the widow Dakin the widow Stevens and the widow Everett fainted away and had to have the doctor. They realized that they were out of the running. There were predictions that the struggle, which was to be for the best three games out of five, would last a week. A whole day was the most con servative prediction, and many specta tors brought noon luncheon. But things went like a cyclone after a rab bit. In two hours it was begt:n and ended. The widow Harper won three straight games, and the widower Nar more never had a chance. There were cheers and shouts and yells, and the victor was draped in Old Glory. "Daughter, what was Narmore say ing to you after the game?" asked the father after the two had reached home. "Why. he was asking me to be his wife. "By thunder!" "But doesn't a man want a w ife that be can brag of and that everybody else will brag of? Thanks. daddy. You can go back home now if you are lonesome for mother!"

Apropos of this, I know a man who is a rat exterminator bv trade and apparently quite prosperous, but ac cording to all traditions, I suppose this would not appeal to the feminine mind. A woman in Boston takes Inventories of houses that are rented furnished, and afterwards checks up the belongings. A letter friend tells me that many young housewives, or rather house-wives-to-be, have expressed the wish to her that they had some woman who would go on a shopping expedition with thom and show them how to furnish their new homes economically and tastefully. It seems to me that to people who cannot afford an Interior decorator and yet feel their own inability to buy wisely and with good taste, the services of such a helper would be really Invaluable, and would more than pay back whatever percentage of the total expenditure she charged. When you read the Item "frogs legs" on the bill of fare, do you ever wonder where the frogs for that delicacy come from? I always had a strange notion that they must come from France, but they don't.

The Provident Association will proba bly distribute a few toys among the younger children who are under the observation of the officers and teachers of the institution but will not make any special effort along this line. This work will be left to some of the lodges or secret organizations which are making spetial plans along this line. Among these organizations is the Elks. The officers of the Provident Associ ation will provide three Christmas trees for as many classes of small chil dren. The sewing class for girls be tween the ages of 6 and 12 years which numbers about 60. will be given a Christmas tree and small presents will be distributed among these girls. The advanced sewing class for girls will also be given a tree and will hold ap propriate exercises. These children will also be remembered with presents class ceipts may be issued to a small army of taxpayers who have responded by mail. Several weeks ago the county board issued an order to the effect that no receipts covering rebates would be al lowed after December 20. This has caused an unusually heavy rush this yeear at the treasurer's office and at the present time the office is swamp ed with work. The former order was rescinded by the board when it was found that it would be entirely out of the question to handle the great stacks of mail remittances in the time prescirbed in the first order.

Both these matters will be ar ranged, and from a business stand point, as the team would be willing to pay rent. Other cities offer to fur nish a park free for a number of years. This offer does not hold good in definitely, as it will have to be closed soon in order to have time to build the park in time for the opening of the season if it is accepted. Once the present franchise is settled in a i Ity there will be no more openings in the Western league. "I think that the business men of Wichita should cinch a etas?

No other organization had Washington, Dec. 19. Secretary Knox has written to Senator Charles Curtis, of Kansas, a letter giving information compiled by the government, which, in fa. ..pinion of Mr. Knox, would justify legislation to provide a graduated means of meeting various discrimina tions by foreign countries against American commerce. The senator has framed a bill, calcu lated to meet the situation as it arises. "The problem." Secretary Knox said, "is to provide for the removal, so far as practicable, of such features in for eign practice as may be found ad verse to our export trade development and of serious import to those Ameri can enterprises directly affected. 'In the opinion of the department this problem may be solved through the medium of an amendment to section two of the act" of August 5, 1909. whereby may be afforded a sufficient degree of elasticity in the imposition of tariff rates suited to the offenses intended for correction." Secretary Knox cited some of the more important instances to which the at tention of the state department has been called, "but which properly may not be considered as falling under the classification of "undue discrimina tions." "There have been developed in recent years." he wrote, "numerous instances of tariff and administrative discrimi nation against products of the United States." Many of these, and indeed I the most important as they tnen ex- isted, were removed or equauzeu u compensation in tariff rates granted by other countries through the negotia tions following the enactment of the tariff law of August 5, 1909. Some instances of discrimination could not be removed by negotiation and because of their minor character when considered in the relation ot a com merce thus involved to the entire com merce of vhe United States with the particular offending countries. they were permitted to remain. Since the conclusion of these negotiations other instances have developed in the way of discrimination practices, both with re spect to capital investments of Ameri can citizens in foreign countries and in regard to measures in the adminis tration of foreign tariffs adverse to the commercial interests of the United States." Senator Curtis' bill was framed as an amendment to the pure food law and drug law, with the intent of giv ing to the president discretionary pow ers to meet discriminations.

A banquet will be given for the boys' lacs There are 75 boys in this class. but each Of them will be allowed to invite one or two of his friends and it is likely that a total of 200 will be accommodated on this occasion. The officers of the Provident Associa tion have been asked to assist more people thi-s year than ever before. Of course the records of the association continue to increase but mostly through natural causes. The records of former years are maintained and the association continues to receive new names from time to time. This in crease would naturally result even though there would be no business depressions. In addition to the entertainment that is being arranged for the children, ar rangements are being made for the distribution of baskets filled with eat ables for the Christmas dinner. Some of these will be distributed by the of ficers of the institution but more of them will be distributed by the towns people who are members of organiza tions of various kinds or of churches and different societies. They Want Clothing. More applications for clothing have been received than on former occa sions. Arrangements have been made for the distribution of 90 pair of shoes which have been purchased, caps, mit tens and other articles of this charac ter.

"The Methodist Episcopal church needs to fear today the influence of Unitarism, maginfied, advertised and clothed with respecta bility under the administration of Mr. Taft, our president." said Bishop J! P Berr yof Buffalo, X. Y.. before the weekly meeting of the Methodist Episcopal ministers today. The bishop said the Methodist church was at a standstill and asserted that subtle at tacks made on the divinity of Christ aril the influence of Tnitarianism were the principal factors which men acer tha church. THEY MEET FISHER meeting this desire as anv heavi.-r- than-air machine ever built. Dr. E. E. Sonnonstine, who has been in Atchison two weeks, is a man who has had the opportunity to study fly i; machines. Being a moving picture maker, has brought him in touch with many aviators. In fact, he has ex amined about every kind of aeroplane. He says the Jacobs machine is un doubtedly the most practical ever in vented. When H. AY. Jacobs conceived the two-engine idea and the plan of plac ing one propeller behind the other, having them rotate in opposite direc tions, he added speed and strength to his machine; when he decided that steel tubes would answer the purpose of braces and in constructing other parts of the machine better than bam boo and small twisted win s, he hit upon a plan of increased safety for the passengers and added to the dura bility of the multiplane, and with the invention of the twelve plane plan, in sets of four superposed planes each. Mr. Jacobs devised something that will mark an epoch in the flying machine world. Another interesting feature of the construction of the Jacobs flying ma chine is the steering gear, designed by Frank Jacobs. The machine may n steered in four different directions without taking the hands from the steering wheel. That the multiplane is almost cer tain to be a success, was proved by the action of the glider, which was tested last week. The test given the miniature multiplane was as severe as could be. Had it not landed in the top of a tree. Frank Jacobs and W. .T. Leighty are certain that it would have been undamaged In alighting. The wonderful part of the Jacobs invention is the fact that the multiplane Is so constructed that should it capsize or uie operator lose control of it from any one of a dozen reasons, it would immediately right itself and glide to the earth slower than a parachute The Wright brothers have been worK ing on a machine expected to give similar results as the Jacobs aero plane, but so far, they haven't had a great deal of success. Mr. Jacobs has spent about Six. 000 on his machine. Besides money, he nas spent much time on it. It is the general belief that after the multiplane is perfected. Mr. Jacobs will leave the Santa Fe and do nothing but look after the manufacture of his inventions. Tf such weather as has been ex perienced in the last two weeks pre vails until the middle of January the multiplane undoubtedly will be "given its iirst actual test then. It is plann. d to fly the machine near East Atchi- son. There are many level fields in j that vicinity. Only real wet weather! and heavy snows will make the desire to test the machine there impossible. ui course, unless conditions are the best, no effort will be made to fly the multiplane here.

The state- n; -tit of Prof. Erasmus Haworth, state geologist of Kansas, to the public utili ties commission in his report of the pas fields of Kansas and Oklahoma, that with the present method of gas consumption, Kansas City could not hope to be supplied with the natural product more than two or three win ters, was corroborated by D. W. Ohearn, director of the geological sur vey of Oklahoma, before a Joint ses sion of the city council here. His talk on the Oklahoma gas fields followed a two-hour explanation by Professor Haworth of his report. "I wish I could hold out more hope for the people of Kansas City," he said. "To be popular with you, I know it would only be necessary to extond this time several years. But I don't think it can be much longer than Professor Haworth has estimated." .Mr. Ohearn was requested by the ty council to be present and speak ith Professor Haworth, as In printed atements he had taken exception to the findings and conclusions of the Kansas professor. The printed interviews were exag gerated." he told the members of the city council last night. "Above all, however, the report of Professor Ha worth has been misunderstood by a great number of persons."

CLARKE QUITS GAME. Bets Nineteen Suits of Clothes He Win Manage From Bench. Chicago, Dec. 19. Fred Clarke, manager of the Pittsburg National league team, was in Chicago long enough yesterday to wager nineteen suits of clothes that he will not par ticipate in a single baseball game as a player next season. Clarke declares that this means he will not step to the plate even as a "pinch" batter. He called on President Murphy of the Chicago cluh and related to him the fact that he had bet 18 suits. The West side magnate suggested that Clarke would lose all of these clothes, whereupon Murphy was the nineteenth "victim." Clarke, who was on his way to Win fieid, Kan., also talked with Manager Hank O'Day of the Cincinnati club. Both denied that they had discussed lineup of players in their respective clubs.

"The kids surely read the State Jour nal funny sheet every day," said a Santa Fu conductor this afternoon. "The other day a little boy got on the train at Scranton and after he was seated noticed a man in front of him with a curly mustache. 'Say,' said the boy, 'you look just like the Hair breadth Harry pictures.' A Topeka woman who loves to dance sends her little 5-year-old girl out to a moving picture show in the evening and she sneaks off to a dance hall. Last night the little girl ran the streets scantily dressed "huntin' fur mamma." The law attends to such eases as this. The big iron safe in the office of the city treasurer is open. Miss Ro bertta -tale, the assistant in charge, was able to open it after three days of tedious trying. City Treasurer Wright is out of town and forgot to leave the combination behind him.

The Topeka housewives who so anxiously subscribed to a magazine a few months ago and paid the subscrip tion price In advance have abouttglven up hope that tne magazine win reatu them. The agent was a sallow faced youth who said he was trying to earn a college education. He earned enough in Topeka to keep him in school the rest of his life. The gas meter readings of tomorrow and the next day are going to be the poorest in the history of winter months. The warm spring weather has given the gas meter a long needed rest. When the approaches are graded i the Fillmore street bridge will be opened to the public.

"We expect to provide dinners for about 100 persons for Christmas," said Secretary Guy T. Justls of the Provi dent association today. "There seems to be a mistaken idea relative to the distribution of food. Some people have got the idea that we sell food as we do clothes in cases where people can af ford to pay something. This is not the case. There has been no food sold since I have been connected with the association." OFF TO FAR NORTH George Bonip to Study Fish, I Eskimos and Things. New York, Dec. 19.

THE COST OF MEDICINE 8 We are living today in an age of wonderful works, and while many things considered commonplace today were considered marvelous a decade ago, we are constantly having new wonders brought before us. We have only in recent years ceased to marvel at the possibilities of the local and long distance telephones, and now that someone has per fected a wireless system, we will soon come to look upon the present system as crude and obsolete. Probably more money Is spent each year in investigating human diseases and their treatment than any other branch of science, but we have not as yet reached the point where we can avoid entirely either diseaso or It baneful effects, but medical scientists have today a positive cure for many diseases a short time ago considered absolutely incurable. The Contract Doctors, who are located at 114 West 8th street, are considered among the foremost of the medical specialists and are daily performing feats that a short time age would have been believed utterly Impossible. They treat you under a positive guarantee, backed by abundant capital and 12 years of successful practice.

United States Commissioner Caase, who Is conducting the government's investiga ton into the recent fires and explosions at Fort Riley, has received a telegram from the Rev. Charles M. Brewer of Olustee, Okla.. saying the former army chaplain was willing to come to Junc tion City at once if wanted by the government authorities. The commis sioner has not replied to the message. About Fort Riley today the belief was general that for the present, at least, the government had dropped the case.

When you are counting up the men who have distinguished themselves in Kansas (ion't forget "Uncle Ben" Cox. Down in Meade county they may tell you that Ben Cox drove the first railroad spike in that county; bought trie first pair of boots there; holds the first tax receipts issued in the county's history; helped start the first bank and other things like that. But "Uncle Ben" Cox Is especially famous because he sunk the first arte sian well in Kansas. There has been a good deal of noise made about that artesian gusher in Morton county, and the artesian wells being sunk elsewhere in western Kan sas. But Meade county has had an artesian well a real gusher ever since 1887. And next year Meade county will celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the discovery of the artesian water in the since famous Artesian valley of that county. When the Gusher Was Struck. When Iola struck gas and Neodesha struck oil there was some excitement. But it was nothing to that Friday aft ernoon on August 5, 1887, when an artesian gusher was struck on the farm of Ben Cox. near Fowler. Mr. Cox dug a well about 2 2 feet deep, and found plenty of water, but he couldn't drink it, his horses would j not and he swore his hogs wouldn't! wallow In the puddles.

About $100 was subscribed to make the trial, under the terms that Cox, on whose land the well was drilled was to pay for the well if it turned out good, but if a failure the entire company stood the loss. Dr. Kaiser, who had had some ex perience with well drilling in the east, was engaged. Work began August, 1887. A few days later Cox said to Kaiser: "I will give you $200 for plenty of good water, or I will give you $500 for artesian water." Kaiser said artesian water was out of the question. About 4 o'clock of that afternoon the drill rods passed through a little stratum of hard forma tion and then dropped about a foot. The well was then down about 126 feet. Kaiser said there was plenty of wa ter and asked what he should do. Went Down Deeper. "I started to go 150 feet," said Mr. Cox, "and we will go on." And the work proceeded. The next morning after working an hour or so, the drill rods were removed, but be fore they could get them out the wa ter was running out from the casing. Of course it was muddy and came slowly, taking three minutes to run a bucket full. The well was then 142 feet deep.

The "markers" on both passenger and freight trains now days are nearly use less on account of the perfection of air brakes and the automatic appliances on modern equipment. The green flag "markers" originally were for the purpose of keeping the engineer in touch with the rear end of his train. In the old days of link and pin and hand brakes it was a common occurrence for a train to break In two. With no signal from the rear the en gineer would run for miles before he would detect the accident. Operating officials grew tired of the expense of hauling a train In sections. They were confronted dally with the problem. This resulted In a rule that on the rear of all trains should be a flag. The engineers uuiy wa ned out In such a manner that he to keep his eye on that flag. Every few minutes he had orders co bark down the line of swaying box cars or passenger coaches and see if the red flag was fluttering from the Then came the green flag. It served t- same purpose.

The unusual performance of the new Lehigh Valley passenger locomotive "F-6," in taking a heavy train all the way from Buf falo to Jersey City on a single run, has brought inquiries from nearly all the Important railroads. In the last few days they have either made requests tor descriptions or sent their repre sentatives to Inspect this latest devel opment In motive power. b There are five of the new Atlantic type locomotives. While the ordinary run of a passen ger engine is only about 150 miles, the company Is now running two of these through between Buffalo and Easton, a distance of 370 miles. The run from Buffalo to Jersey Clty could be made regularly, eastbound. without ending the journey short of fuel: bnt westbound because of the heavier grades and heavier traffic, the margin of supply upon reaching Buf falo would be too small. Hence the run of 440 miles Is not attempted day in and day out. On test, however, the through trip with a single locomotive was made both eastbound and west bound. The performance of the new Atlan tics is due partly to design and con struction, particularly of the fire box, and partly to the skill attained by firemen in saving coal. For some time the company has been carrying on an active cuniiirtigu oi euucauon in iuei K-onomy with the help of a chief fuel Inspector and several subordinates and the fruits of it are now being reaped. On this 370 mile run the consump tion of coal is 65 pounds per mile.

Receivers will. take charge of the Wabash railroad as soon as they appear before Judge Elmer B. Adams in the United States circuit court and qualify by giving $300,000 bond each. These bonds must be given in ten days. Henry Miller, vice president and general manager of the road, in a statement today says the receivership in no way will affect the operation of the road, which has 16,000 employees. Frederick A. Delano of Chicago, president of the road; Edward B. Pryor of St. Louis, vice president, and W. K. Bixbv of St. Louis are the re ceivers, appointed late yesterday by .Tudire Adams on the application of the Westinghouse Air Brake company of Pittsburg, which filed a claim or jiv 000 and alleged the road was insolvent and unable to meet unpaid vouchers of $1,800,000 and had bonded obliga tions, due January 1, 1912, which would be defaulted. Mr. Bixby is president of the La clede Gas company of St. Louis and chairman of the board of directors of the American Car and Foundry com pany, besides being director of the St. T.nnia Ran Francisco railroad. Mr. Prvor had experience in a receivership capacity when the road was involved in similar trouble in 1885. Delano has been president of the system since 1905, when Joseph Ramsey, jr., was retired following a disagreement with the Goulds. Secrecy surrounded the filing of the receivership petition. The suit was not filed until nearly 6 p. m. yesteraay. The closing hour of the court is 5 o'clock. The local attorneys who filed the petition would not talk of it and the government officials in the fed eral building, aside from the judge and Clerk James R. Gray, did not know any action had been taken. Law rence Greer of New York, member of the law firm of Pierce Greer, and R. H. Nielson. representing Cravath, Henderson De Gersdorff, attorneys for the Westinghouse company, were in court when the petition was filed. Greer's partner is Winslow Pierce, who recently succeeded Ed ward T. Jeffrey as chairman of the Wabash board and who is chairman of the readjustment committee recently named by the Wabash directors. The United States circuit court, in which the receivers were named, will be abol ished January 1, but Judge Adams is expected to continue to have charge of the road. The Wabash's extensive general offices hero occupy several floors of the Title Guaranty building, adjoining the Missouri Pacific build ing, where are the general offices of the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain system, the center of the Gould prop erties. A third Gould railroad, the St. Louis Southwestern (Cotton Belt), ra diates from St. Louis. These three roads have attracted attention in the financial world recently. First, the Missouri Pacific reorganization result ed in the bringing of B. F. Bush here from the Western Maryland as presi dent of the Missouri Pacific, a presi dent who as George Gould, his prede cessor, said would "sleep and eat on the job." Then Frank J. Gould lost in a contest with his brother, Edwin, for a greater voice in the affairs of the Cotton Belt. With the Wabash, the Goulds almost have a transcontinental system, as the Missouri Pacific meets the Denver Rio Grande at Pueblo and the latter joins the Western Pacific at Salt Lake City. The company s last annual report for the fiscal year ending June 30 showed a deficit of $403,000 under the requirements necessary to pay the company's total in terest charges, but arrangements were made by the directors at that time to provide the money for the July 1 pay ment. Since that date the monthly earn ings reported by the company have shown a steady falling off and it seemed inevitable, in Wall street opinion, that steps would have to be taken to rehabili tate the company, unless its earnings improved. The management has been hampered in the operation of the road, according to statements of its representatives because tlie funds forthcoming were not adequate to the maintenance of the road's prop erty and equipment. The company s total bonded debt amounts to more than $114,000,000, and is one of the heaviest per mile of any rail road m the country. Besides being burdened by these heavy fixed charges. the company, a few years ago, became involved with heavy obligation in con nection with the purchase of the Wheel ing Lake Erie railroad and the build ing of the Wabash-Pittsburg terminal. George Gould and the Gould estate are credited with control of the Wabash sys tem. Recently the banking firm or Kuhn, Loeb Co. was appointed the company's fiscal agent, somewhat to the surprise of Wall street. No public statement was forthcoming from Mr. Gould in connec tion with the entrance of the Equitable Trust company interests into the direc torate, but it was assumed in Wall street that Mr. Gould acquiesced to this ar- rangement. The Wabash refunding 4 per cent bonds nave recently Deen selling Deiow 50. on account of the rumors that a receiver ship was imminent. President Delano, together with Messrs. Goelet and Kreich, has been making an inspection trip over t-e Wabash system during the last sev- eral days and had not returned to New York so far as could be learned. Mr. Delano had engaged rooms at an uptown hotel but had not claimed them at a late hour. The Wabash system is one of the pioneer railroad properties built up and developed by Jay Gould and began its present corporate existence as the Wa- f bash Railroad company in 1SS9. It now operates a total trackage of 2,514 miles, one of the longest railroad systems In the country. The main lines extend from To- ledo and Detroit to St. Louis, Chicago, I Kansas City, Omaha and Des Moines, with trackage from Detroit to Buffalo, over the Grand Trunk. The company also has a controlling interest in the Wabash-Pittsburg Terminal railway and the Wheeling Lake Erie railroad. Its outstanding capital stock amounts in round numbers to $92,000,000. of which $53,000,000 is common and $39,000,000 pro- The Prudential Bank. Checkiug and saving accounts.

Got Thirty-Five Thousand Dol lars for Trotter. Was the Owner of Many Other Trotting Sires. Word was received this afternoon of the death at noon In St. Francis hos pital. Chicago, of Robert I. Lee, age 67, who isiperhaps the oldest horse man in Kansas. Mr. Lee underwent an op eration several years ago from whicb he never fully recovered. He Is sur vived by a wife, two daughters and a son. Mr. Lee owned among other proper ties a 200 acre farm west of Topeka. and real estate in Kansas City valued at $75,000. He is well known by all the old settlers in Topeka. He made a trip to Europe in the hope of benefiting his health but did not improve. He was Buffering from liver trouble. Owned Robert McGregor. Mr. Lee first became famous in the horse world as the owner of Robert McGregor, who is acknowledged to have been the greatest trotting sire ever produced. Mr- Lee bought Robert McGregor.a oolt, in New Tork, paying $1,000 for him, which wfj then consid ered a big price for a horse. He after ward sold him for $35,000, and he was resold to George Ketcham of Toledo, Ohio, for $75,000. He sired Cresceus, who was also owned by Ketcham, and is the fastest trotting stallion in the United States. Mr. Lee's farm, "Prairie Dell," five miles west of Topeka, on the Tenth avenue road, is one of the show places of Shawnee county. It is on this farm that the old Baptist Indian mission erectedw in 1836 still stands. The building has been used by Mr. Lee as a horse bam. Mr. Lee has for many Tears been a familiar figure in Kansas. He was an excellent jldge of a horse and attended all the fairs in the .7est. He has owned many famous stallions.

CLERKS ARE HERE. County Officers "Swop" Stories With State Officials. Stowell of Nemaha Has a Visit With Dave Leahy. County clerks and assessors from all over the state met with the state tax commission today to discubs tax values for the coming year and methods ot taxation. The visitors called on all the state officers and talked good times and politics and crops all day until the time of meeting set for 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Among the notable characters pres ent of the visiting tax officers was John Stowell of Seneca, Nemaha county. Stowell settled in Nemaha in 1870 and has resided there continuously during the 41 intervening years. He does not look to be over 41 years old, but ad mits 61. He was born in London, Eng. He called on Goov. Stubbs this morn ing and when he met Dave Leahy, the governor's private secretary, Greek met Greek. Stowell has Irish blood in his system himself and he carries his 60 odd years as lightly as Dave ever dared to carry his 50 milestones. He Is Proud of Both. Stowell is county clerk of Nemaha; he is a Democrat and a great admirer of Governor Stubbs. His London Dirtn and Kansas raising blend perfectly. He is as proud of his state as he is of Marlborough House, and keeps in as close touch with the state house affairs as he does with the English parliament. His London accent is about the same as Dave's KUlarney burr. Their con versation was worth two prices of ad mission to any show since Booth and Barrett's day.

Washington, Dec. 19. Revolution in Mexico, whether identified with the ambitions of General Bernardo Reyes or not, seems to be making some head way. State department advices today not only reported a belief that General Reyes himself was operating in north ern Mexico, but described scattered ac tivity in the border states of Neuvo, Leon and Chihuahua, while in Ta maulipas, the state opposite south Texas, the Mexican government is en deavoring to ward off a general strike of the laboring class.

The suit of Mrs. tlrace Guggenheim, first wife of the New York man. to set aside the decree of dl-vta-ce entered in her favor in 1901, was placed to Jay on the calendar of Judge ,ndes for January 34. The case has frequently been before the courts of Illinois and New Tork stale since the first Mrs. Guggenheim, after her former husband had married again, discovered that she was not a legal resi dent of Illinois when she obtained the di vorce from her husband. The suit to set aside the decree was to have been heard by Judge Petit but ne transferred it to Judge Windes. It was unofficially reported that Judge Petit declined to hear the case because of what was termed an effort to influence the court.

Why is this not a good Christmas present A GRACEFTL BREAK FAST CAP OF LACE. New York, Dec. 12. Less coquettish than the lace frilled mob cap but quite as charming in its stately, graceful lines is this attractive head-dress of heavy ecru crochet lace which is draped back under knots of ribbon teel blue if its wearer has blue eyes rose pink if her eyes are brown or black. The crown of the cap is made of ecru dotted net and draws up at the lower edge on a narrow velvet so that the early morning coiffure may be quite hidden except for the waves of hair which are pulled out under the oaj edge in front for the sake of becomingness. Judge Dana held today that Kath erine Tassell must stand trial for con tempt in violation of a liquor injunc tion and that she was represented by counsel at the time the journal entry was made. Mrs. Tassell hung fervent ly to her charges contained in a mo tion to quash, but evidence introduced showed that the woman had knowl edge of the fact that she was to be made a party to the injunction. On the witness stand the woman re cited the terms of an alleged agree ment with County Attorney Simon, in which, she declared, the prosecutor had promised to withdraw both the criminal and civil actions against her self and Abe Hamrell if she paid $200. She produced receipts showing that she had paid into court $265, which in cluded $100 fine for John Tassell, $75 as attorney's fees for Simon and the remainder as court costs. Simon himself took the witness stand and denied that he ever prom ised to dismiss the injunction pro ceedings against Mrs. Tassell. He said he consented to a compromise where by John Tassell was to plead guilty to one count in the criminal case and agreed to quash the counts against Hamrell and Tassell's wife. The coun ty attorney said he insisted on a county wide injunction against the three de fendants in the civil case, but finally compromised this matter by taking in junctions against the three people, pro hibiting them from operating in the building at 220 Kansas avenue. From the witness stand A. J. Bollinger said he believed that he represented all of the defendants at the time he agreed to the journal entry and while there were no express conditions surround ing his employment, did not under stand that he was to appear only for John Tassell. What Mrs. Tassell Thought. "I wont to the county attorney's of fice with Mr. Bollinger the morning of March 18," Mrs. Tassell said in the course of her testimony, "and an agreement was made with Mr. Simon that he was to quash all charges against me on the payment of $200. Mr. Simon said to me, 'How much money can you bring in?" and I re plied. 'How much do you want?' Mr. .Simon then reached out his hand and said, 'I thought you would come up here with your hand full of money.' Then I told him I had no money and didn't make much, but if he would let me go I would bring in all I could make. "Mr. Simon told Mr. Bollinger to fix it up and we agreed on $200. I supposed there was no injunction against me until July 31, when I was arrested. That day Mr. Simon came to me and said, 'I suppose you know what you are arrested for.' I told him I did not and told him I wanted to speak to him. There I told him that he had agreed to quash the case against me when I paid the S20n. Mr. Simon then walked out and told Joe Ross to take me to jail. At the jail Simon came to me and shook his finger under my face and said, 'I don't want you to say you gave me $200 to quash that injunction.' That was the story Mrs. Tassell told in the course of her direct and cross examination.' It was admitted on the part of the state that no witnesses were examined the day judgment was taken and that the matter was strictly informal. Bollinger's Story. "There was a question of attorney's fees in the injunction case," said A. J. Bollinger in the course of his examina tion, "and Mr. Simon asked Mrs. Tas sell how much she could pay. When asked how much he wanted, Mr. Si mon said $100. Mrs. Tassell said that was too much and it was then agreed that the criminal case against Mrs. Tassell and Hamrell should be dis missed, that John Tassell should plead to one count and that the injunction should be taken against the three de fendants. At the jail, Mrs. Tassell asked me the penalty if she violated the injunction and I told her. Mon day morning I appeared and entered the pleas as we had agreed while in Mr. Simon's office." On March 20, the evidence show ed, Mrs. Tassell gave Bollinger $2 00. of which amount he paid $165 into court, took a receipt, returned Mrs. Tassell $10 and kept $25 as his own fees. Later Mrs. Tassell made two $50 payments, which covered Tassell's $100 fine. A few weeks after the case was disposed of, Tassell died. Mr. Simon's Version. "Because of a supreme court decis ion," said Simon, in his testimonv on behalf of the state, "I agreed to make 1 the injunction to cover only the build- ing in which Tassells were at the time located. I doubted if a county wide injunction would hold, but I at all times insisted that the injunction should be against the three defendants. As for the attorney's fee. I had asked for $100, but Mr. Bollinger came to me and said Mrs. Tassell could not pay that amount and I consented to the pay ment of $50 in the injunction case. The journal entry in the case was drawn by Mr. Bollinger, was redrafted by me and later Mr. Bollinger agreed to the changes I had made." No tdeoee was introduced showing that the county attorney had collected fees in the case in excess of those paid in other similar cases and which are permitted by law. This fact. Judge Dana held did not warrant the court sustaining the pleadings in the case and the motion was overruled. In her mo tion Mrs. Tassell did not claim that the $200 which she paid went to Simon personally, but that by the compro mise, the court costs and fine were pakl and Mr. Simon was enabled to collect an ordinarily good fee fn the case. As the Court Sees It. "This appears to the court to be merely a question of fact as to what was the agreement in the county at torney's office between Mr. Simon, Mrs. Tassell and Mr. Bolinger, acting as attorney for Mrs. Tassell," said Judge Dana, "There is a conflict in the testimony. It seems to me that the position taken by the county at torney is borne out by the testimony. Mr. Bolinger testified very frankly in the case and I believe he is telling the Doll Specials Basement Toy Store, 69c 17-inch Kid Body Bisque head, sleeping dolls, with light or dark hair.

Mrs. Tassell testified that the landlord knew well that there was no injunction against the building. There could be no injunction against the building without notice to him. I think from her testimony and what she told Mr. Bolinger when they left the court house shows she understood the character of the injunction and its limits. There has been some imputa tion as to the fact that Mr. Simon was to receive some money for the quash ing of the complaint. There is noth ing to that and it falls to the ground. The fees which Mr. Simon received were received in a legal manner and are the same fees as are allowed by law in similar cases. The original journal entry might have been more fully drawn. The cases were disposed of in regular, ordinary and usual way; that is. by agreement and compromise, or what amounts to a plea of guilty made by the defendant in open court." BURNS IS PAID $50,000 First Reward for the Capture of the McXamaras. Los Angeles, Dec. 19. The grand jury held a short session this morning and recessed until later in the day without hearing any of the San Fran cisco witnesses under subpoena. The recess was taken, it was said, in order to allow Special Prosecutor Oscar Lawlor to question w-itnesses before they appeared before the inquisitors. A county warrant for $50,000 was drawn today in favor of Wm. J. Burns. This is the first of the rewards to be paid for the capture and conviction of the McNamara brothers. As far as the county is concerned, according to District Attorney Fredericks, no other rewards will be paid. Iron Workers Give Up. Indianapolis, Dec. 19. The long contest, for possession of correspond ence and books of the Iron Workers' association ended today when counsel for John J.

The evidence was seized in a raid on the association office on April 2 2 last when McNamara was arrested, and had since been in litigation. It is understood before the documents are returned to the Iron Workers they will make a long jour ney through federal and perhaps coun ty grand jury jurisdiction in various parts of the country. wantsthYfacts LOCAL MENTION.

A resolution passed by the house tiday calls on the secretary of war for full information relative to the proposed abandonment of certain army posts throughout the country and the redistribution of the standing army.

Earlier in the day Major General Wood told the house committee on mil itary affairs that whenever a change or abanuonment of an army site was proposed, some representative protest ed because it meant the loss of two or three hundred votes of people de pendent commercially on the post.

The7 itched dreadfully. It Just seemed as though I could tear the skin all off. I would scratch them and the skin would peel off. and the flesh would be all red and crack open and bleed. It worried me rery much, as I had never had anything the matter with my skin. I was so afraid I would save to give up my employment. "I consulted my doctor, and he said he iidn't think it would amount to anything. But It kept getting worse. One day I saw a piece in one of the papers about a lady who had the same trouble with her hands. She had used Cuticura Soap and Ointment and was cured. I decided to try them, and my hands were all healed before I had used one cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment. I am truly thankful for the good results from the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, for thanks to them I was cured, and did not have to lose a day from work. I have had no return of the skin trouV.e."

London, Dec. 19. Dr. M. S. Levy of San Francisco is the most recent suf ferer in an encounter with the Russian barriers against the admission of Jews. The rabbi is now in London on a world tour which is to last several months, and he has found that he can not get his passports endorsed in order that he" may travel in Russia in the same way as American citizens not of the Jewish faith. "The Russian ambassador told Wil liam Philips, secretary of the Ameri can embassy in London, who present ed mv nassuorts to him to be vised, that he regretted that he was unable to endorse the passport of a Jew." said Dr. Levy. "The ambassador add ed that he advised me to telegraph to the Russian minister of the interior, setting forth my case and to prepay the reply. I do not think I want to set foot in that detestable, tyrannical country, and certainly I shall not waste a cent in prepaying replies from Rus sian officials. "I thought it would he interesting to test the rights of American citizens in Russia, particularly as I have a letter from the state department commend ing me to American officials abroad land written at the request of Congress man Julian Jvann or rrancisco. SHOT BY HIS WIFE The Husband Wan Sitiinjc at With Party of Friends. Table Fort Worth. Tex.. Dec. 19. Shot by his wife as he sat at supper in a grill room with a party or friends last night. Homer V. Trout, cattleman, well known in Texas, died today. Mrs. Trout entered the dining room and, catching sight of her husband, glided up to his table unnoticed. Her ex clamation: "Now, I've got you," at tracted the supper party's attention. Mrs. Julie Saylars, one of the Trout guests, leaped to her feet and con fronted the angered wife. Mrs. Trout evaded her. drew a revolver from her muff and shot her husband. The bul let pierced his forehead. Mrs. Trout sank to the floor as her husband fell, crying: "Oh, I've killed my poor little boy; I never meant to do It." At the police station she hysterically reiterated her statement, which leads the notice to believ the woman might have intended the bullet for another. Opera and Field Glasses.

MOVE A FRIENDLY ONE Westhighouse People Kxplain tlie Wa bash Receivership. Pittsburg. Pa., Dec. 19. The appoint ment of a receiver for the Wabash road at St. Louis is of particular interest to Pittsburg and the surrounding coun try because the Wabash has stock ownership of the Wabash-Pittsbura- Terminal railroad, the West Side Belt railroad and the Wheeline- Lake Krie. railroad. These companies have been ...nrnaH ThflQQ i i in tne nanus of receivers for some time, and an effort at reorganization is being made by the committee of first mortgage bondho:ders. under the lead ership of James C. Chaplin, president of the Colonial Trust company of Pitts burg. Mr. Chaplain departed for Chicago last night, when he learned of the r. ceivership, and it is said an important conrerence is Deing held there today. An official of the Wabash-Pittsburg company, who would not allow the use of his name, said the only interest the Wabash now had in the important and expensive properties in and around Pittsburg was under litigation and the stock ownership had been practically wiped out. W. D. Uptegraff. of the Westlnghousc interests in Pittsburg, said the actios of tlie Westinghouse Air Rrake com pany in applying for a receiver for the Wabash railroad was In accordance with plans of interests friendly to thr Wabash.

Washington, Dec. 19. President Taft and Attorney General Wickersham made it plain today that for the pres ent no further action would be taken by the government in the case of C. W. Morse. Wickersham, following a meet ing of the cabinet, said that Morse was not in a critical condition and would remain in the army hospital at Fort MePherson, near Atlanta, where lie was removed from the Atlanta prison several weeks ago. High Tastes a Problem. "There is a general complaint at this time regarding the increase of taxes," said O. C. Black of the Fox-Cook Agency, as their firm gave a large check in payment of taxes for non resident property owners, "but this sort of tiling will last but a few years. Topeka has been growing rapidly and our city fathers were compelled to make many needed improvements. However, one can escape this city tax by owning a suburban tract just out aide the city limits. We have an es pecially attractive nine acres, well im proved, adjoining the city, for sale or trade, price $4,000. it will earn one a living besides giving them the privi leges of city life."

Tax League Worries Ahout Cost of Big Wall. Ike Gilherg Spreads Sunny So cialism. Without a response from Edwin L. O'Neil, who was present at the Mon day night meeting of the Tax league, Oscar Swayze rapped the county board for their action in the present county audit and demanded to know why local accountants were not given a chance at the work and asked the necessity of the high priets which are called for in the present contracts. As he walked on the record of the court house crowd, Swayze looked squarely at O'Neil, but the commissioner did not respond. No attempt was made by Swayze to question the good results of a straight forward, open and aboveboard audit, but he questioned the methods used in the work as it is now conducted. He was anxious to know if local men would not have handled the work for less money, if there was reason for the long delays in reports: and again, why the occasion for lobbies for all county officials except the district judges. In. a list of 40 reasons why the league was a gpod thing, Swayze pointed to the unfair assessments, to generous, high handed methods of the legislatures, to the indiscretion of public officials in spending the people's money." Probably 50 people were at the meet ing, which was held in the first divi sion district court room. The high taxes, the alleged unjust assessments and large appropriations for public work, rankled in the minds of those at the meeting. Few Topeka ministers ever conducted an experience meeting at which their flock talked more di rect from the heart than did the hand full of taxpayers at the Monday niaht meeting. They wanted relief and were not particular as to whose scalp was moved in finding where the money goes. A half dozen women at the meeting were just as serious as the score of gray-haired veterans who grumbled and grorned under the bur den of a public debt. Gilherg Has a Say. Ike Gilberg tried to relive the minds of people in the crowd and he offered a collection of glittering Socialistic views. Gilberg was willing to shove the entire tax burden on the shoulders of the corporations. Just at the pres ent time, he urged, the man with the little house and lot and a dozen chick ens pays the bTg' taxes and the or ganization with the heavy financial backing sidesteps its share of the ob ligations. But Gilberg was not the only exhibit at the meeting. Samuel G. Zimmer man, county clerk, was brought for ward as exhibit B and he told about the tax levies in the dike district. Zim merman made a desperate effort to explain how tho county engineer es timated the work at $127,000, how the contractors bid on a unit basis: was for $110,000; and how when the work was completed, It was necessary to pay $1 10,000 for the work and raise a $13,000 deficiency levy. Everyone seemed anxious to ask a few strange questions about the job and finally the county clerk explained that he was not responsible for the manner in which the contract was let and someone would have to talk to the county board about the trouble. As chairman of a committee to in vestigate special attorneys fees in city and state.i cases, D. C. Tillotson ex plained that the work was not com pleted. Ho said that at this time no special attorneys were in the employ of the county in district court cases, but that the final report in the matter could not be made until a later meet ing. To Study Valuations. W. H. Kemper, as president of the club, urged the early appointment of special investigating committees, the necessity of taking a hand in the ap pointment of assessors and the neces sity of tax reforms. Among other things the league will demand the ap pointment of a building contractor on the new assessors board and will study valuations as are returned by the workers in the various townships. Miss Maude May Kline, a member of the Good Government club, attend ed the meeting and read a paper in which she explained the method of figuring tax receipts without causing undue trouble in the individual mind.

Seeks Language of Flowers. I should be glad If some of the Cornerites would send in the Language of the Flowers.' I should also like to know if there Is a book or collection of floral sentiments, euch as Pansles for Thoughts.' This seemed to me to be the place for acquiring the desired knowledge. Mrs. H. M." There are dozens of books of the class you indicate. Flora's Dictionary." published early in the nineteenth century, was the guide of our sentimental foremothers. There Is no standard upon the language of flowers, no two agreeing upon the meaning of any one flower, unless Indeed it be upon pansles. That is a per version of the French pensees, thoughts. Still I ahall print the names of any floral 'eik'Ons sent in response to your query. In Search of Cook Book. I should be pleased to have yon put my query In your column ss soon as yon can make room for it with regard to the 'Buckeye Cook Book." where published: if still Issued, by whom, jirl where I can obtain a copy. I know it is an old book, as It has been used for years by an old lady I know. I am anxious to get a copy, as it contains so much other valuable Informa tion aside from the recipes. The covers are torn off her book, else I Shouldn't bother you with this query. I have thought, suggested by the name, that perhaps it was published some where in Ohio. Nblojb T." I had a copy of the book years ago, and agree with you in thinking that It emanated from Ohio. I fancy, too. that the recipes were mostly those popular in that state. Referred! Son? Book Sought.

I am a Fhiladelphian. but am staying for a while hi Battle Creek with my sister. In speaking of the things at home, we should like to know about the old creek. A. B W." The old creek has a history. Will some deni sen of the historic regions rhrough which It flows reply to our Philadelphia visitor? Suggestion as to Song. I inclose clipping from the Corner Do you know thrs song? The words are Met me in the vale of Graer or peace.' I am not sure which. Who Is the writer? J. McK." I think the song referred to is Meet Ma in the Vale of Dreams." a very pretty song. too. by Johann' C Schmid. It may bo purchased in any popular music store. V. C." If the querist who wishes to get the song had heard it sung and never read the words the mistake is natural. Th average vocalist might as well warble In Arabic as in English, so far as auditors are concerned. Manuscripts of Cicero. Could you kindly inform me where the man uscripts of Cicero are preserved?

B. T." L The history of the lost MS?, of Cicero and the discovery of fragments of orations, etc., most of which are palimpsets. may be read In the Encyclopedia Brltannica and will well repay the perusal.

Then touch with ammonia to re store the color extracted by the acid. College Professor's Mistake. Kindly give me the correct meaning of the word cute.' A professor in a college has said it means bowlegs and instructed his young woman pupils not to use such a word. I am a reader of the Corner, and I feel sure that you w ill be able to answer the question. 1. B." The professor was more nice than wle. If the testimony of the beet English authors and lexi cographers be admitted. Ooldsmith speaks of "cuter.rss." Hawthorne and Mr- Stowe talk of the cute Yankee," and our standard diction aries define the word as colloquial acute, clever, sharp, smart There Is not a bint of any such significance as the college pandit at taches to It. Lady of Malt, Story. Was King George V. married previous t his marriage to Princess Mary? If so. to whora and where? Mrs K. D. K."

The marriage would not have been valid had it taken place. Ths royal marriage act. making it unlawful for a member of the royal family to marry without the consent of the reigning sovereign settles that point Would Find Booklet.

Use a very clear material, fine ball cotton and make two pieces. The lower one may be left plain, though most embroideries make duplicate designs so that cushion can be reversed when soiled on the top. The satin stitch Is used throughout, but a few eyelets will impart delicacy to the pattern. Make the form of heavy muslin and fill it with white wool, sawdust, dried coffee grounds or white sand. This makes a heavy cushion, and it cannot be easily toppled over. Cover the form with any desired shade of satin, and lace the covers on with satin ribbon of the same color. A color scheme can be used to make the flowers and leaves. If this is done, then the forms should be left white. A buttercup yellow or canary with green leaves, pink flowers with green, pale lavender and green, are all good colors to use in decorat ing toilet accessories, but good taste is emphasized in all white, even to the ribbons for lacing the covers.

After washing lace curtains lay a blanket on the floor in some empty room; spread the curtains on the blanket, stretching them carefully, and they will keep their place with out any fastening until dried. Xo polish should ever be used for lacquered articles. If once applied the metal polish will spoil the surface of the lacquer. Lacquered goods should be rubbed up with a leather, and, if dirty, washed with a little warm water and soap. When house cleaning if varnish or paint stains get on the hands do not try to wash off the stains before rub bing kerosene over the hands. This will cut the paint or varnish and there will be no difficulty at all in cleaning the hands. It is also a good method for cleaning out old paint brushes. Clean Your Own Furs. You can mane your furs look like new and save what a furrier would charge if you follow these instruc tions: Buy about five pounds of bran; put the bran into a large pan and heat until hot in the oven; take one piece of fur at a time and put in pan and wash and thoroughly rub the bran into the fur; take out into the air and shake well and beat with the narrow side of a stick where fur is worn and matted, then hang on a line for an hour or longer and your furs will look as soft and glossy as when new. If the lining is soiled, clean by dipping a clean cloth in naptha and rubbing until dry, but use naptha only away from any fire. r Put Potato in Lard. To keep yeur lard nice and white and prevent it from becoming strong use a few Irish potatoes. When the lard is nearly done drop in a potato about the size of an egg to each gal lon of lard.

IN speaking of a recent suicide, a thoughtful observer, who had known the unfortunate man, re marked impressively: "I believe lon liness was at the bottom of it. I be lieve loneliness is at the root of a very large part of the unhappiness in this world. I believe this because conversely there is no doubt that con genial companionship is the source of a very large part probably most of the happiness in this world." This view seems right and reason able. One source of our respect for the pioneer is that he is willing to go off into the wilderness, away from friends and companions. Everybody knows how "queer" and crabbed most of those become who live by them selves. The soul turned inward con stantly shut away from the calls of human sympathy long unresponsive to the moods and tenses of its fellows become warped, unnatural often ripe for "treason, stratagems and spoils." Those who have worked much among the young men who are con stantly pouring into our city from all over our land have been painfully im pressed with their loneliness. Think of the thousands of such young men, living in hall bedrooms, or in lodg ing house dormitories, with no place in which to spend an evening, and no one to speak to except their chance acquaintances. There are Christian associations and boys' and men's clubs, but tim idity, or distaste, or other reasons, keep many from resorting to them. Some ci these young men have con fided to their friends that their lone liness amounts to actual torture. It literally "drives them to drink" and to all sorts of vice. Some of Daudet's novels picture the ways in which some of the poor and friend less young men and women of Paris walk, because of their loneliness. There are many such in our own land. Even if there is a society at hand for the strange boy or girl or older immigrant it may be so unconge nial as to be almost worse than none. It is the lonliness which death brings about which graves the deep est marks upon our faces and our souls. To lose the loving companion wife, husband, mother, father, sis ter, brother to whom your every word and thought was interesting, who wanted to know every detail of your busy day. and told you hers or his ah! this is the lonliness which strips off all the glamour from life. FASHION BOM BY MRS. KINGSLEY. LONG velvet wraps are very much in evidence. Indeed, the vogue for velvet is very strong in walking suits, in one-piece frocks for wear under the long coat; and the velvet "hood" or bonnet is ubiquitous. Let me describe a real long black velvet wrap. It was quite straight in line, with deep cuffs and collar of plaid liberty satin. The whole was lined with plaid, and buttons in plaid enamel, that one cannot doubt was made for the wrap, were used. Another coat has revers and cuffs of brght blue and black corded silk. Some loose, draped wraps have dull embroidery reflecting oriental designs and colors. Broad bands of cerise mouseline de sole are being shown on collars for separate wrap. Bright rose satin veiled with gray chiffon and trimmed with cream lace made a charming evening gown. With it was shown a broad band of pink silk embroidered in coral and steel beads and edged with a frill of lace. This is almost a cap for the head, but just a trifle different from the mobcap of the summer. Velvet quills embroidered in sou tache are used as trimming for white felt hats. Bright-blue silk in the form of a co-carde is the favorite trimming on colored felt hats. Silk cord and silk fringe form the trimming for a mushroom hat of black velvet with a high puffer crown. With this hat comes a "post bag" of black velvet edged with fringe on a white cord. This is a very new note. The bow to match the hat is the favorite idea. Large white satin hats with velvet trimming in dark colors are very chic. Dark-blue serge dresses are show ing revers and cuffs of white satin. White pearl buttons are also used. Fashion is emphasizing long sleeves on afternoon gowns. These are reminiscent of the old-time leg-o'-mutton, but there is a modish and graceful difference. Many of the frocks for indoor functions of this house show collarless bodices. Many quills show edging of fringe or fur. The woolen flowers of em broidery are much used on velvet hats. The small high hat with no frame to crush the hair is in great vogue. These "hoods" are of felt, camel's hair cloth in bright blue, pink and scarlet, and are combined with black velvet that forms the crown. In many cases this latter is puffed in high, unusual shape, projectine out at the side and back. ROOMS HOW to ventilate the sleeping rooms of a house economically where steam or furnace heat is used is a problem. In many homes where the necessity of fresh air in bedrooms is insisted upon the result is a cold dining room at breakfast that one meal at which a warm room is most to be desired. But to the house dweller who ha3 control of his heating plant, the prob lem may be simplified by a little judgment as to ways and means. Thousands of these, however, are not awake to the advantages of plenty of fresh air in bedrooms and until they have sacrificed the warm air of the sleeping room to the cold air of out of doors they are not open to the solution of the ventilating problem. To convince himself of the advan tages of a bedroom filled with cold, fresh air of the outside the intelli gent person needs only a night or two of the experience to prove the fact. If he has been sleeping in a room at a temperature of fifty to sixty degrees and will open his windows wide to an outside atmosphere of ten degrees above zero, the sound sleep that follows should satisfy him the next morning. But if in all the lower part of the house he shall find intolerable chil! as the result of it, he may nurse a second thought on ventilation. It is the purpose of this article to make that second thought unnecessary. It will be accepted that the house holder has a comfortable bedroom at the hour of retiring. Let him shut off the heat in preparation for going to bed. Let him close the door of the bedroom leading to the hail. When ready for bed let him raise a window to a height admitting plenty of air without creating a draft. In all the downstairs portion of the house the heat should be left on as it has been all day. He should have knowledge enough of his fur nace to know in just what condition to leave the fire to insure reasonable temperature in the morning. His bedroom doors will not be so close fitting as to keep the cold, heavy air from outside filtering down below in reasonable quantity. Only in the oc- j cupied bedrooms of the house does the heat need shutting off and the i windows be open. In those houses which have a "spare" bedroom the discomfort of j dressing next morning in a cold room may be overcome by making this spare apartment a dressing room, j The hall leading to it will be warm. Only a foot on a cold floor for an in- S stant will be the penalty of ventil-atim Dry Shampoo.

The hair will last much longer in both color and quality if it is brush ed regularly and shampooed at stated intervals. A good tonic should al ways be kept on hand, no matter how well the hair seems to be.

So spoke a man In the audience dur ing the furniture juggling act of Gre goire and Elmina, European furniture jugglers at the Novelty this week. But Gregoire juggled the heavy lounge. He carried it balanced on his forehead, riown the aisle to the stage and up and down a ladder, still balancing the sofa on his broad brow. Elmina, a dainty woman with an Annette Keller manisk figure also does some clever juggling with ordinary furniture. She is worth going miles to see. The cou ple open the show, more because thuy do a dumb act than any other reason. They came from France originally and traveled in Europe with the Barnum liailey circus. Their act went great. Christopher Ponte, Italian street musicians, sing and one of them grinds out music on an accordion. One of their songs tells how when a brave man is wanted, the singer is not the one to respond. Alf Camm, with hLs dummy and Theira do some clever work In ventrilloquism and get good applause. Mary Davis, character impersonator, does a unique turn os an old maid gossip. Her work is true to the char acter she impersonates, is extremely laughable without the least suggestion of vulgarity as she relates things that a certain wife and certain husband ought to know. She also sings. She D.i,ar4l .imncf A T vrnuun. The Gee Gays are also unique. On a miniature stage a man and a wom an's head appear above two miniature bodies which are made to dance while the manipulators sing and put on a brief vaudeville. It is unlike anything seen here before. Crystal. William Wadsworth, a former To peka man, appears as a newspaper editor In a picture play, "John Brown's Heir," at the Crystal. John Brown, a prospector, strikes it rich. At th same time another man is suf fering from an incurable disease and ran not live. He wishes the paper to Hate that he desires his relatives to communicate with him. The paper des so, but by mistake the paper heads the article about the unfortu nate old man with the fact that John Brown has struck it rich and goes on to tell about a dying man who wishes to communicate with his relatives. Things are straightened out and give much comedy with a love story run ring through.
