JUSTICE VOORHEES ORDERS SUMMARY

INVESTIGATIONPerp l ex i ng P rob l em on Road

t o S o l u t i onSPRING LAKE, May 29.— Supreme

Court Justice Willard P. Voorhees, sit­ting in New Brunswick Saturday or­dered a summary investigation into the financial affairs of the boro of Spring Lake, according to a message received here from Charles Hobart, attorney for the appellants. Justice Voorhees appointed Herbert W. Hill, an expert accountant of New York city, and Sherman Dennis, assistant manager of the Monterey hotel, As­bury Park, and formerly the New Jersey state hoard of education ac­countant, to make the investigation and report to him by July 1. The in­vestigation will take in all boro trans­actions from 1906 to 1912 inclusive, including the issues and expenditures of bonds for the erection of the bath­ing pavilions, which cost $56,000, and the new water works, for which the boro *was bonded $70,000.

The order for the investigation is the result of an application made several months ago by Frank S. Hed­den of Philadelphia and about 25 other summer residents of this place. In his application Mr. Hedden alleged misappropriations hy the mayor and council of more than $23,000 and Jus­tice Voorhees advised a verification of his figures.

The appellants engaged Herbert W. Hill to make a report for them. Mr. Hill spent some time going over the books of Collector William W. Trout. When his report was completed he had increased the amount of the al­leged irregularities to more than $37,000.

The boro officials in turn engaged Dennis to make a report in answer te Hill's. Dennis set fprth in his report that it was by improper classification of the vouchers that the mix up in Trout’s hooks was caused. He said that there was only one sot of books from which an accurate report of the status of affairs at Spring Lake could be made and they were the auditor’s books.

In court at New Brunswick an affi­davit was presented in which Collect­or Trout stated that his accounts were absolutely correct and their accuracy had been attested to each year hy Fred F. Shock and Henry Graig, the boro auditors.

Justice Voorhees in ordering the in­vestigation, is said to have made a statement to the effect that the state­ment in Dennis’ report to the effect that there was a set of books other than Trout’s from which Hill should have made his report was in itself sufficient to warrant the investigation.

Dennis, in discussing the matter the other day, stated that he was in favor of having au audit of the boro books made and that be would work for Hill's appointment. Hill came down to Spring Bake after Dennis had made his report to the mayor and council and was closeted in the council chamber with Denpis, fpr a few min­utes. After his vigil it was announced that ho had seen Dennis’ report and had come down to look up a matter contained in it which did not corre­spond with his report.

Devereux Resigns as Secretary of State

Democratic CommitteeWilliam K. Devereux, who was a

candidate for tho postmastersliip at Asbury Park but who failed to land the place, lias forwarded his resigna­tion as secretary of the Democratic state committee to Edward E. Gross­cup, chairman of that body.

The nonT jation of Harrison C. Hur­ley, Mr. Devereux’s rival, for the As­bury Park place, was sent to the sen­ate Thursday afternoon by President Wilson. Mr. Hurley was recommend­ed for the office by Representative Thomas J. Scully, and also has the support of United States Senator W il­liam Hughes.

Mr. Devereux said today that his resignation had been sent to Chair­man Grosscup but he had nothing more to say at this time. One of his close friends quoted him as saying, however, that he had resigned because he was “ tired of being the Democratic lobbygow.”

Mr. Devereux has been secretary of the state committee for 15 years or more. When Elvin W. Crane of New­ark was the Democratic candidate for governor in 1898, against Foster M. Voorhees of Elizabeth, Mr. Devereux was in charge of the publicity work of the Democratic campaign, and he has been at the head of the same de­partment in every campaign since.

Newburg, N. Y., May 30.—One juror saved Burton W. Gibson from being found guilty of the murder of Mrs. Rosa MeBschik Szabo. The jury, which had been deadlocked for almost twen­ty-six hours, reported to Supreme Court Justice Tompkins that they could not agree, and it then developed that they had stood eleven to one for conviction since the first ballot. The juror who held out for Gibson’s acquittal was Charles Reynolds, a farmer, of Wnll- kill.

Judge Tompkins had decided to keep tho jury out indefinitely in the hope of an agreement, hut on the foreman’s re­port that a unanimous vote could not be expected lie accepted the disap­pointing result. This is tlie second dis agreement in Gibson’s caso.

Gibson, who was visibly apprehen­sive when the hour for convening court arrived, gained confidence as the hours went hy and the probability of dis­agreement still prevailed. In view of tho fact that in his first trial at Goshen the jury disagreed, it is hardly likely that he will be tried again.

Justice Tompkins in his charge told the furors they might find a verdict of murder in either tlie first or second do greoor bring in a verdict of mnnslaugb ter.

Mrs. G i bs on Col l apses .As the twelve men filed out of the

court with her husband’s life in their hands Mrs. Gibson gazed at the row with glassy, frightened eyes and then collapsed in her chair. The ordeal was more than she could bear. Restora­tives were got for her, and she took them amid bursts of sobbing that deep­ly moved many of tfce onlookers.

Throughout the trial the devoted wo­man had played her desperate part in her last effort to save the life of tho man who, according to witnesses, had been untrue to her. Her sad and ap­pealing eyes, framed in a beautiful face, had never been off tho fury. The last impression the furors carried with them to their deliberations was of Mrs Gibson in an attitude of mute helpless­ness before them.

Justice Tompkins had seen through the-unhappy woman’s plan and tried to thwart the influence of her presence. In his charge he referred to it, and Mrs. Gibson grew visibly agitated.

Mrs. Gib*on’s loyalty was emphasized during the ordeal of waiting for a ver­dict She spent the night in tlie cell with her husband and remained by his side all day, while crowds surged ex­citedly about the courthouse.

Cloud’s home was in Boston. He was a man of good habits while at the Martin place and Mr. Martin is at a loss to account for his mysterious disappearance. The possibility that he merely quit his job without notify­ing his employer has been advanced.

Marquette, Midi.— Theodore Roose­velt, a picture of ruddy vigor and per­fect health, turned a square head and a square jaw in tlie direction of twelve farmers, teamsters, miners and woods­men in court and gave his character for sobriety as “not a total abstainer,” but never intoxicated in his life. His testimony and that of others who fol­lowed corroborated such a description of abstemiousness.

One of the two ex-Presidents of the United States was placed in the ex­traordinary position of defending his temperateness over a long period of years.

The Colonel’s teeth snapped em­phatically when he leaned toward the jury of farmers and workingmen and told them that never since he became of age has he been under the influence of liquor even in the smallest degree With great particularity he described just the kind of drinks he had taken and the kind that he had avoided. A crowded court room hung upon his words and marvelled at his memory for details.

He said that he had never drunk a cocktail or a highball In his life. He in­sisted that he never drank brandy or whiskey except when chilled after ex­posure or under the advice of phy­sicians, because he didn’t like the taste of either. In Milwaukee ten years ago he took a sip of beer be­cause some one had told him that it was the stuff that made Milwaukee famous; hut he didn't fancy It and promptly washed the taste out of his mouth with a swallow of white wine.

He gave the jury a list of the wines that he has partaken of on occasion— white wines. Madeira, champagne and, very occasionally, a glass of sherry. It was his custom at home, he testi­fied, to drink a glass or two of white wine with Poland water. A t public dinners he sometimes took a glass of champagne, maybe two glasses, but he was sure he never tasted champagne more than once a month.

Mint juleps were a rare pleasure, said the Colonel, hut he couldn't re­member having sipped more than half a dozen a year. The cross-examiner asked him if he drank them all at once. He said laughingly that he took them a long distance apart.

Most of his mint julep experience was in the White House, in whose grounds there was a fine bed of mint.

He laid stress on the fact that on his campaign trips he never drank anything until he went to bed. Then, he said, it was his habit to take a goblet or perhaps two goblets of milk with a teaspoonful of brandy to the goblet. He found that the milk and brandy rested his throat and made him sleep well.

No alcoholic person could have rallied from the shock of a bullet wound as Theodore Roosevelt did in Milwaukee last fall, emphatically as­serted Dr. Alexander Lambert, Col­onel Roosevelt’s family physician, on the witness stand.

Dr. Lambert, who treated Colonel Roosevelt after the Milwaukee shoot­ing and who was his constant attend­ant when he was President, was the first expert witness to hack up Colonel Roosevelt’s own assertion, made earlier in the day, that the former President is “abstemious, hut not a total abstainer” in the use of liquors.

Calgary, Alberta.— Luther McCarty, whose claim to the heavyweight white championship of the world has been generally recognized, was killed by a blow in the ring here hy his ad­versary, Arthui Pelky, in what was scheduled as a ten-round bout.

The fatal blow was delivered in the first round, after one minute and forty-five seconds of fighting. Pelky. with no idea of the fatal result of his blow, waited while McCarty was counted out. Then he hurried from the ring. Later he was arrested by a mounted policeman, and not until then did he know McCarty was dead. Pelky subsequently was released on hail.

McCarty died without regaining con­sciousness. McCarty weighed 200 pounds: Pelky weighed 210.

Shortly after the contest, began McCarty received a sharp jab to the

j jaw which sent his head back quickly. It was stated by the physicians who performed the. autopsy on the body of Luther McCarty that death undoubt­edly had beer caused by the dislo­cated neck and that the heart, was

] found to ho round.Luther McCarty was horn in TJn-

i coin. Neb., March 17, 1892, of Indian- j Irish parents.

Tommy Burns’s prizefight arena, in which Luther McCarty was killed in the fight with Arthur Pelky, was burned to the ground next day.

Simultaneously in Chicago the Chi­cago & Eastern Illinois Railroad Co.. whose stock is controlled hy the Frisco, was thrown into t?e hands of receivers by United States District Judge George M. Carpenter at the in­stance of the Railway Steel Spring Co., one of the creditors of the rail­road.

Judge Sanborn named Beniamin L. Winchell, president of the- Frisco, and Thomas H. West, chairman of the board of dir"ctors of the St. Louis Union Trust Co., as receivers for the Frisco.

New York.— Senator Stephen J. Stilwell. State Senator from the Pronx, was convicted of bribery in the Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court and locked up in the Tombs.

By their verdict the jurors found that as a Senator at Albany Stilwell had asked President Kendall of the New York Bank Note Company for $3500 to engineer a favorable report from the Codes Committee on Ken­dall’s pet Stock Exchange bill. By their verdict they cut short a quarter of a century of law work and his membership in the upper house of the Legislature.

The convi.tion was under a section of the Penal Law relating to the re­ceiving of bribes hy members of the Legislature and entails a maximum punishment of ten years and a fine of $5000.

The jury was out two hours and eight minutes, but only one ballot was taken. An appeal was taken .

Charleston, S. C.— Captain Guy B. G. Hanna, of the Sixteenth company of the United States Coast Artillery and Privates Baxter and Christian were killed, while engaged in night target practice, at 10 o’clock P. M., when the breech block of a 4.7 gun at Fort Moultrie was blown out. Bax­ter and Christian met instant death, and Captain Hanna died soon after the accident on an operating table.

Captain Hanna was born in Iowa in 1879, enlisted as a private in the Spanish war in 1898 and rose to sergeant in 1899, became a second lieutenant in 1901, rose to first lieu­tenant in 1907 and became a captain in 1911. He graduated from the Coast Artillery School in 1912.

Nine men were wounded, and it is believed several will die of injuries.

Fort Moultrie is six miles from Charleston and many physicians from this city were urgently summoned. The fort is ordinarily reached by gov­ernment boat and a short line rail­road, over which trains are operated only twice a day. The physicians went in automobiles.

The gun which exploded had been firing about twenty minutes when the accident occurred.

Fort Moultrie, situated on flatlands at the northern point of the harbor of Charleston, S. C., had its origin in the Revolutionary war when William Moultrie, who eventually became a brigadier general in the Continental Army, made a fierce stand with 1,000 militia against the advance of the British. It is one of the principal fortifications of the Atlantic seaboard. Around it raged the first battle of the civil war, ending with the defeat of Major Robert Anderson, the Union commander of Fort Sumter.

Berlin, Germany.— The wedding of the German Kaiser’s only daughter, Princess Victoria Luise, to Prince Er­nest, son of the Duke of Cumberland, took place here amid scenes of un­rivaled splendor.

As is customary, the religious cere­mony occurred in the chapel of the Berlin Sehloss at 5 P. M. Half an hour before the First Field Artillery of the Guard arrived, its band playing a wedding march, ana took station outside in the Lustgart.en, between the Palace and the Cathedral.

While the guests were arriving (from 3 to 4:39 P. M.) the civil cere­mony took place in the presence only of the Emperor, the Empress and the parents of Prince Ernest of Cumber­land in the Brandenburg Hall of the palace.

In the meantime the guests assem­bled in the chapel. At each side of the altar steps were two niches decor­ated, like the steps themselves, with myrtle and white flowers. There was nowhere any seat or priedieu. A strip of purple carpet led to a magnificent Persian rug on which the bridal pair took their stand. The marble floor of the chapel was also covered with purple tapestry.

In the niche to the right of the altar was placed the diplomatic corps; on the left stood the suites of the various princes and royalty.

In the room called the Chinese Cab­inet, Geheimrath Muller, keeper of the royal jewels, arrived with four men of the Garde du Corps, carrying on a gold brocade cushion the crown— in this case a simple gold circlet show­ing the Princess’s rank as Imperial Highness. The Empress’s court hair- dresses, Adliaco of Vienna, assisted formally by the Berlin ’ court hair­dresser, Hermann Schulz, fastened the crown to the hair.

The Prince wore the uniform of his regiment, the Ziethen Hussars, and the helmet, but no crown.

At 5 o’clock the Court Marshal, af­ter. tapping thrice with his staff of office, announced the approach of the wedding procession. First came the Oberhofmarschall, Count August Eu- lenburg, with his staff, then a long line of chamberlains and equerries in pairs, then three noblemen.

Supper was served for the royal family and their immediate guests in the Hall of Knights.

After dinner followed two quaint ceremonies, the candle dance and the distribution of the garter.

Then the couple themselves, pre­ceded by the pages, retired to their respective chambers. The bride put on her travelling dress and the Keeper of the Jewels took away the crown.

Immediately afterward the Prince and Princess left by special train for Joachimstahl, the station for Huber- tusstock, where they will spend the honeymoon.

(Special Trenton Correspondence.)Trenton.— Some persons interested

officially in the committment of insane persons into the asylums of this State, either because they have failed wholly to comprehend the new act of the Legislature for the commitment of the insane, or because of the inconven­ience to which they may be occasioned because of the safeguards thrown around the citizens of this State, have seriously prepared to attempt the amendment or repeal of the provisions of the commitment act, which is chap­ter 250 of the laws of 1913.

Prior to the passage of this act the rights of the citizen protecting him from being railroaded to an asylum were not properly seclured. Anyone could be committed to an insane asy­lum of this State upon the applica­tion of any interested person, and the certificates of two physicians. They could be detained there for fifteen clays without any arrangement being made for an inquiry as to their sanity after detention therein, and as a mat­ter of practice, copies of the applica­tion papers, being mailed to the Com­mon Pleas judge, were often neglected and no final order of commitment was signed for a.long time thereafter, re­sulting in the detention of such per­sons in the asylums of this State on the application of their relatives and the certificates of physicians em­ployed by these relatives, without in­quiry by any court for a long space of time, and then orders of commitment were often signed by such judges without further investigation than had been made originally by the doctors employed hy the relatives.

Last summer James II. Allgor was admitted to the State Hospital at Trenton upon the application of an official of the borough of Seabright, and the certificates of two physicians practicing in Long Branch. He was admitted to the hospital against his will and against the wishes of his fam­ily. Mr. Allgor was admitted to the asylum, being taken there by a sheriff or deputy sheriff, supposing that un­der the law he was obliged to go. His family sued out a writ of habeas cor­pus for his release. Vice Chancellor Garrison, after argument, and a thor­ough study of the law in force, held it to be unconstitutional. He further stated that such commitment should be made, even though temporary, by a judge of some court of record, and that the rights of the citizen should be so safeguarded that proper inquiry r<= fn his sanitv should he provided for in a procedure in the law.

i ne act passed at the last session of the Legislature was drafted by Francis H. McGee, of the Attorney General’s Department, who conducted the Allgor case for the Attorney Gen­eral, with a view toward curing tha defects in the act, as pointed out by Vice Chancellor Garrison. The act was drawn solely with reference to an endeavor to obtain for the State a law which would be constitutional and throw every safeguard around the liberties of the citizen. It was drawn without reference to'the personal con­venience of the medical director or other officials of any State or county hospital. Neither was it drafted with an idea that it would make an easier method for county solicitors, or any Institution for the insane to provide for the commitment of persons sup­posed to be insane, hut in law pre­sumed to he sane, until found other­wise, after proper legal Inquiry hy a court having jurisdiction over the per­son and the subject matter. In order to cure the evils complained of, neces­sary detailed steps must be taken which will require more work and care than heretofore has been exercised.

It is because of the safeguards thrown around the commitment of citi­zens of this State to insane asylums hy this new act, that criticisms are now being made concerning the law, and the critics, eittfer through ignor­ance or a desire to obtain an easier method of procedure, have misrepre­sented this protection thrown around the person who is likely to he sub­jected to the unfortunate conditions surrounding one mentally deranged. The present act provides that in case the condition of the patient is such that it is not necessary that he he immediately confined in the asylum, even though insane, such commitment shall not take place until after an in­quiry has been made into the individ­ual’s mental condition by the Common

Fleas or Circuit Court Judge upoa at least two days’ notice to the person alleged to be insane, his nearest rela tive or the person with whom he last resided or the attorney of any of them. If, however, a person he insane, and so dangerous to himself and others as to require immediate con­finement, then he may be admitted to a public insane asylum upon the ap­plication of a relative, or if neces­sary, the Mayor or police official of the municipality, upon the physicians’ certificates.

In addition an order must he made by a Judge of any court of record in the municipality, temporarily commil- ing the insane person and directing the time and place and the judge who will hear the matter on the final in­quiry as to the patient’s mental con­dition, thereby insuring him his day in court, and throwing about him the con­stitutional safeguards that are essen­tial to the maintenance of his liber­ties. This inquiry may he adjourned by the judge who is to make the final inquiry, if found necessary. It is pat­ent to everybody that the condition of persons becoming suddenly insane, and in many cases violent, is such that it is absolutely injurious and in many cases practically impossible, under present humane methods and ideas to retain such individuals in their own homes. It requires the doctors to reduce the nervous and abnormal condition as soon as pos­sible. This absolutely ca u not be done in the home or in a police sta tiori.

Copies of this act before its passage were submitted to the present Secre­tary of War, who was a Vice Chan­cellor of this State, and who wrote the opinion which brought about the change. It was also examined'by other persons learned in the law, and was not changed as originally drafted, ex­cept that clerical errors were cor­rected by Senate committee amend­ments.

A t all events no criticism that has, yet appeared in print seems to be cor rect in its statement as to what the act provides and all misrepresent the present law. Printed forms which amply explain the workings of the act are now being prepared hy the State hospitals and will be in the hands of all those who need them. Immediately following th e . decision of Vice Chan cellor Garrison last summer, a method of procedure, such as is outlined in this act, was adopted at the State Hos pital here and has been in force since Formerly a temporary commitment could be made to a private institution for the insane, and the new law now provides that no temporary commit ment can be made to a private insane asylum, but that such commitment must be made to a public insane asy­lum until proper inquiry as to the sanity of the person has been held and final order made by the Circil Court or Common Pleas judge direct­ing the confinement in a private in­stitution. This alone is sufficient tc justify the law- and to prevent tamper ing with its provisions, and is prob ably the cause of the animus which seems to exist in the minds of those who are misrepresenting this act te the public.-

With Senator Samuel T. Munson of Sussex county, back from his Eu ropean trip earlier than he had ex­pected to return, and with the publk announcement that he had already made that he will vote with his Demo cratic colleagues in the Senate foi the Chancellor-Sheriff jury reform bill which has been held up for two weeks because there was one vote short ol enough to pass it, it is quite likely that the agony of the special session of the Legislature will pass into his tory. The State will have jury reform after a fashion, if the people accept the terms of the new law at the No vember election, hut nothing bettei than the present system until then tin less Acting Governor Fielder can force through the Legislature with the Chancellor-Sheriff bill his supple mental hill, which is intended to pro vide jury reform through court super vision until the main law becomes op erative or is defeated. No one is sat isfied with the bill except the oppon ents of jury reform, who see in it ar opportunity to defeat the object of the pledge of the party platform of last fall and to prevent any departure from the present Sheriff-controlled gram, and petit juries and the results which they have been instrumental in pro ducing during the last few years in different sections of the State.

Washington.— The so-called patent monopoly, which threatened to pre­vent cut rates by retailers in all pat­ented articles on the market, has been destroyed by decision of the Supreme Court of the United States.

The decision in time will have a widespread effect on the retail mar­ket. Safety razors, watches, medicines and many other products will no longer have to be sold at a fixed price, indorsed and enforced by law, to the consumer by the retailer.

The retailer who buys a “ dollar” watch at, for instance, $9 a dozen, hereafter can lawfully sell the watch for 89 cents instead of a dollar if he chooses.

The court held that owners of pat­ents have not the right by the patent, law to control the price at which re­tailers must sell to consumers. The decision in words applied only to a nerve tonic for which a patent had been issued, hut it will control all patented articles, hundreds of which are being sold under restriction on the retailer not to sell at cut rates.

The court reversed the policy adopted by it in the famous mimeo­graph case, when only seven justices were on the bench, hut allowed that case to stand so far is it goes. Thus was accomplished what has been sought unsuccessfully in Congress ever since the mimeograph case was decided.

More than than fifty cases pend­ing before the Supreme Court were disposed of the same day by the rendition of thirty-five opinions. Every Justice present read one or more opinions. Justice Hughes was not present.

An important decision handed down affects the water users in government reclamation projects and involves hun­dreds of millions of dollars. The courl upheld the tax Imposed by the Secre­tary of the Interior on lands irrigated which a Washington State settler op­posed on the ground that such a.tax is not mentioned in the reclamation act.

The right of the city of Denver to erect a water works plant was upheld by the court.

Other decisions are:— The construc­tion of the Federal employer’s liability act in its relation to interstate com­merce; the control of navigable streams improved hy power com­panies; riparian rights in the “ Blue Oyster Case.”

“ I'll agree with you that he isn't as tall as Walsh, but he weighs 185 stripped, which isn’t being a light man by a good many pounds, and take a l«ok at those shoulders. This boy is only twenty years old. He has a few years to grow.”

Keating’s success is with the spit ball. He has a good fast hall, but re­lies on the salivated delivery.

“ Walsh uses the spitter. That’s all he has,” went on Chance, “that and a fast one, but the spitter nearly all the time.”

“ How do American league pitchers look to you?”

"Some of those I have seen look pretty fair, to say the least. There is W alter Johnson— ”

"Would you call him better than Mathewson?”

“ No, I would not say that Johnson is- a better pitcher than Mathewson. You have to give Matty a lot of credit. He is a wonderful pitcher. He has speed, curves, a good slow hall and a great mind. Johnson has more speed than Matty, but lacks several of the other things.

“I do not believe that Johnson will last as long as Mathewson. A man cannot use as much speed as he does for many seasons. He is developing a curve ball that will be of great ad­vantage to him. He showed a good curve when he pitched against us. He has no slow ball to speak of, but with that curve and speed he will be bet-

ter equipped than in previous years. As he grows older he will pitch more with his brain than his arm and last longer than if he depended on that speed and his curve.

"in picking pitchers I think I would take Mordecal Brown if I had one pitcher to choose of all those in the major leagues. Brown had every­thing a pitcher needed— a great curve, good speed, slow ball and control. He was a wise pitcher, and I do not think I ever saw a better fielding pitcher. Besides that, Brown was always ready to work for you. He would go in any day at any stage of the game and al- way pitch good ball.

“I did not see a left-hander this spring, though, who, if he always pitches the kind of ball he pitched against us, is the greatest southpaw in the country. That's Plank of Phil­adelphia.”

"Do you think him superior to Ruck­er and Marquard?"

“ I think him superior to anyone I ever saw.’

And Chance should know. He bat­ted against the pick of the National league hurlnrs for several years, and managers were always sure that their

It was the small size of his hands which kept Cy Seymour from being a great pitcher. When he first joined the New York Giants, many years ago, he came as a twirler, but he found the greatest difficulty in securing control of the ball, because his hands are so small that he could not get his fingers all the way around the sphere. Cy was finally forced to give up pitching entirely and go to the outfield, where his hitting, rather than his fielding, kept him in the game for a long period of years.

Vincent Campbell, the fast center fielder of the Bostons, last season, has the same handicap as Seymour in re­gard to the size of his hands. Camp­bell’s mitts are far below the average in length and diameter, and the muffed flies which he is guilty of are the re­sult of this physical handicap, to a great extent. He is also not so good a thrower as he would be if his hands were a bit more bulky. Campbell, however, played better bail last season than ever before.

Vincent is a speed marvel, no one excelling him in getting down to first base. But he has two weak points in offensive work. He is a very poor waiter, and so does not get on nearly so often as he would if he was able to force the pitcher to pitch to him.

His great speed makes him a hard man to stop in the bases, but he is not on there so much as he would be if he could develop the habit of waiting to better advantage. Campbell hits 15 points higher than Bob Bescher, but the extra bases on balls secured- by the Redleg were more valuable than the extra hits made by the Boston gar­dener.

Owing to his inability to wait, Camp­bell went to bat more times officially than any other player in the National league last year. He was charged with 624 times at bat, and no other player reached the 600 mark, though 16 of them played in as many or more games than he did. This is a serious weakness in a lead-off man, who should be on base more often by the pass route. Campbell, in spite of his great speed, is not a very clever base runner. While Bescher was stealing 67 bases last year Vincent was copping just 19, both men playing in exactly the same number of games.

A little lemonade stand will help any boy to do a thriving business on every warm day, and even "on days that are not uncomfortably warm an attractively made and clean appear­ing stand will draw enough business to pay a boy for his time.

A stand need not be elaborate to be attractive, and it isn’t much bother to keep its top clean and dry. Such a stand as Is shown in Fig. 1 is easily made. Fig. 2 shows a rear view of it.

enough below the bottom of the box, of course, to bring the tops of the boxes oh the same level (Fig. 2). Where one box is smaller, its bottom will form a convenient shelf upon which to keep the pitcher of lemon­ade; also your stock of sugar and lemons. The larger box will hold the pail of water for rinsing glasses. If the boxes are of equal size, fasten a shelf in one, so the pitcher of lemon­ade can be kept off the ground; in any case the pitcher must; of course, be kept covered with a clean towel or napkin.

MR. VANDERBILT’S 12 CENTSMi l l i o n a i r e T a k e s t h e T r o u b l e t o

C h a n g e a Do l la r t o G e t a S m a l l S u m of Mone y .

Mr. Vanderbilt was notably exact­ing in his personal business relations — of himself as well as of others. At a meeting of a certain railroad’s board of directors of which he was a mem­ber it was found that several were ab­sent. At a full board meeting each director received ten dollars, and it was the rule that if you were absent those present shared the total fee. That is, if but half the members were present each attending member would receive twenty dollars, and so propor­tionately. On the day of the meeting referred to the number of absentees made the division of the fee amount to certain odd dollars and twelve and a half cents. At the close_ of th meeting, as the secretary handed each member his apportioned fee, he accepted the given number of dollars and passed up the twelve and a half cents to avoid the bother of making change. When the secretary came to Mr. Vanderbilt, however, he found him busily counting some small coin from a purse onto the table. “ I can change a dollar for you, and will take the twelve cents,” said Mr. Vanderbilt: then smiled as he added, “ but I can­not manage the half cent.” And the man worth more than a hundred mil­lion dollars had taken the trouble to change a dollar for the sake of twelve cents, which, together with the extra

| dollars, had come to him by the de­fault of others. Had the proposed halfpenny then been in circulation he would probably have “managed the half-cent."

The next day Cornelius Vanderbilt gave half a million dollars to estab­lish a charity work in New York. And it was in a measure due to his con­stantly keeping close tab on the pen­nies in the handling of his large af­fairs that he wa0 able to make such a

j splendid gift in the cause of human­ity.— Richard M. Winans, in Harper's Weekly.

makes a splendid money tray, and if there isn't a worn-out pan in the pan­try a cheap one can be purchased for 10 or 15 c^nts. The size of the cash drawer should be regulated to suit the muffin pan. Make a frame of four pieces of hoard about 4 inches wide (B, Fig. 7), cutting the two side pieces of the right length so the in­side of the drawer will he about 4 inches longer than the pan (Fig. 4). You may not have occasion to put pa­per money away in your drawer, but if a customer has no change he may hand you a dollar bill, so you must have a shelf in front of the pan tray on which to put it. The strips C (Fig. 7) should be nailed to the in­side face of three sides of the drawer, about IV2 inches below the top, to support the rim of the muffin pan, and the board D (Fig. 7) forms a shelf for bills.

The simplest method of arranging cleats for the cash drawer to slide on is by placing the boxes on which the top is supported just a trifle further apart than the width of the drawer, and then nailing strips to the inner faces of the boxes, at the proper dis­tance below the under side of the top (Fig. 1). It is not necessary to fasten a bottom to the drawer, and you will see by the section drawing (Fig. 5) that by omitting thisyou-have the bottom of the front piece to catch hold of in opening the drawer. If you wish to, you can arrange a bell and striker in such a position that the bell will ring each time the drawer Is opened.

To save the necessity of opening the drawer when change is not re­quired, especially when business is rushing, a couple of openings in the top of the counter top. directly over the penny and nickel compartments of the drawer, will be convenient for dropping coins through (Fig. 2).

The opening between the box sup­ports of the lemonade stand should be concealed at the front by tacking a strip of cheesecloth or muslin, equal in width to the height of the stand, across the front and around the ends (Fig. 1).

Prepare a cloth or board sign with lettering printed upon it with paint or washing blueing (Fig. 1), and support it upon uprights fastened to the ends of the stand. If you sell your lemon­ade in glasses of different sizes, say at 1 cent and 2 cents & glass, you might indicate the sizes of the glasses upon the sign as suggested in Fig. 1.

ting in the midst of the large family circle at the luncheon table. Oppo­site him was his young lady cousin, who mingled with her affection for him an earnest desire to set his in­fant feet in the paths of knowledge. Just now, in her intense way, she was trying to teach him how to di­vide an orange into quarters.

Again and again she led up to the point that she wished him to think out, and, as often, he failed to follow.

As she leaned forward, wholly ab­sorbed in her desire to make the idea clear to him, she asked once more, “ But how would you get a quarter of an orange?”

The boy, blissfully unconscious, re­plied with a beaming look, “ I would say please.”— Youth's Companion.

“Fine!” declared Thomas.“Why, that’s lovely," said his de­

lighted and mystified mother. “What does your teacher say about it?”

“ She says,” replied Thomas cheer­fully, “ 'No, Thomas, if you don’t feel like singing you needn’t to.’ ”

IN THE DAYS OF SASSAFRASF a t h e r Co ul d Be Re l i ed O n t o S e e

T h a t O u r Blood W a s T h i n n e d P r o p e r l y .

A man In Joplin, Mo., says that he has lived to be ninety-two years old by drinking sassafras tea.

We have lived In Missouri ourself, and, worse than that, we have tasted sassafras tea. We don’t envy the Jop­lin gentleman In the least. Our fa­ther always liked sassafras tea— that is, he always liked for us to take it. He said it thinned the blood in the spring. Then he would catch us, hold both of our hands, and proceed to thin our blood. He would pour the tea down our throat and hold our nose till we had to breathe and swallow it. We would yell at the top of our voice and tell him we would rather have blood like molasses than take any more of that tea, but he would only reach for another cup and our nose. Mother would stand there sad, but cheering us by telling us how much better we would feel after our blood got thin, and how all growing boys needed it, and how Susan took it with­out a word.

If you would listen to father you would think our blood was as thick as sausage and that we’d never see May flowers unless he held our nose twice a day. Father was good at that. He didn’t know anything about jiu- jitsu or half-nelsons, but when he reached for us to have our blood thinned we couldn't lift an eyebrow until the last bit of sassafras was drained.

It took a surprising amount of sassa­fras to thin a person’s blood. It seemed enough to us to raise Clear creek before father would say : “Well, son, the tea seems to be doing its work. You can stop now and take it only every other day.”— Homer Cray, in Judge.

T h a t E x t r a Rib.I have just made an interesting dis­

covery. Two correspondents of the Watchman have claimed that a man has one less rib than a woman, and that the Bible story of the creation of Eve is confirmed by that fact. To test the matter fpr myself I went up to the American Museum of Natural History to count the number of ribs in a man and in »a woman; Un­fortunately they had no skeleton of a woman; but I counted the ribs in the skeletons of men they have, and found that both had twelve ribs on each side.

Now comes the interesting discov­ery. In extending my investigations I found that a gorilla and a chim­panzee have 13 ribs on each side, and, funny enough, an orang-outang has 13 ribs on the right side and only 12 011 the left side! Now, if any of the readers of the Watchman can find a skeleton of a human female it will be interesting to know how many ribs a woman has on each side. If it would prove that she has 13 ribs on the right side and only 12 on the left, or 13 ribs on each side, would it prove the Bible theory, or the Dar­winian theory of evolution?— New York Letter In the Watchman.

Ball a s a Gi r l ’s Ga me .Of all the games, ball seems to be

peculiarly a girl’s game throughout the ages. The Roman girls used to strike balls with the palm ot the hand to k e e j them bouncing, or would fling them against the wall to drive them back on the return, or would pass the ball from hand to hand in the ring or in a row. The ball of olden times was much like the one now in use. It was soft or hard, as occasion demanded; it was plain, with painted or em­broidered cloth; it was a hollow large balloon, or a small light sphere. T h e German poets make frequent allusion to ball as a girl’s game. It was de­scribed as a first sport of summer. One writer observes, “When I saw the girls on the street playing bail then came to our ears the song of birds.” The game was a favorite one with youths and maids, who would contend for the ball, that the one who gained it might throw it to the one loved best.

COULDN’T BE TOO CAREFUL

W h e r e R e a c h C o u n t e d .Two anglers were comparing notes

after the day’s sport, and they soon began recounting past triumphs. “I once caught a trout so long,’’ said the tall one, measuring off the length of one arm. “ That’s nothing. I once caught a pike so long,” replied tho short one, stretching out both arms. “Over in Canada 1 once caught a sal­mon so long,” went on the tali one, and he, too, stretched out both arms. “ Oh, it’s no use arguing with you,” said the short one, turning away in disgust. “You know you’ve got long­er arms than I have.’

“ Your habits are good?”The prominent millionaire looked

keenly at the young man who had ap­plied for the hand of his daughter.

“ Yes, sir,” came the firm reply. “ I rarely play bridge after midnight, never gamble in Wall street, and make a point of staying home at least one night a week.”

“ Have you a good disposition?” “ Fine. 1 can live with my sister for

lours at a time.”“ You are in good health?” “Excellent.""You love my daughter?” “ Passionately."“ What are your assets?”The young man handed him a pa­

per on which appeared a list of h i a properties. The prominent millionaire looked it over carefully.

“ You are prepared to corroborate this?”

“ Certainly, sir.”The prominent millionaire reached

forward and shook hands cordially.“ My dear hoy," he said, “ I am per­

fectly satisfied and only hope you wi l l pardon me for being so particular. But you see, I want to be quite sure that when you have married my little girl, after her divorce, you will be able to support her in the same style in which she is now living with her present hus­band.”— Life.

L a s t Civi l W a r V e t e r a n .

I was informed by the United States pension office that the last soldier of the Civil war will die in 1955. That is the estimate made by those who make a study of vital statistics. If the last veteran survives until that date he will have lived 90 years aft­er the surrender of Lee.

Kronk, who died a couple of years ago in New York state, was the last soldier of the war of 1812, and he lived considerably more than 90 years after peace had been signed. Bake- man, the last soldier of the Revolu­tion, lived for 86 years after the peace of 1783.

Here is hoping that some man who wore the blue or gray may fool the pension office and round out a full century after Appomattox!— Philadel­phia Ledger.

Pro f i t i n g by S u p e r s t i t i o n .After having sat on many juries the

observant man is of the opinion that the whole human race is still strongly tarred with the brush of superstition.

“I am confirmed in that belief by the amount of damages invariably voted to plaintiffs, whose injuries smack of superstitious origin," he said. “ If a load of bricks should fall from a fifth story window on to thu head of a man who happened to be walking under a ladder he would get twice as much damages as if the lad­der were not there. The element of bad luck that attaches to a ladder would insensibly influence every juror, and the sum awarded would re­flect their prejudices and sympathies.”

B r e a t h i n g T h r o u g h t h e E ar s .“The way to avoid tuberculosis and

lung disease is by breathing through the ears,” says Dr. John E. Davis, of Virginia university. “ Man breathed through his ears before he learned to use his nose. In early days when man was a fish he had gills and inhaled and exhaled through them. Part of these breathing organs still remain, and if cultivated can be put to good use.”

He says that if a child is taught to breathe through his ears after proper practice he will be’ able to open or shut his ears just as a fish works hi3 gills.

“I see; you’re finding out the lone­someness of solitude because she kept her word, eh?”

"Not by a jugfui. I wish she had.”

C o r re c t ."H ey!” yelled the guest. “You ad­

“ LIKE MAGIC”N e w F oo d M a k e s W o n d e r f u l C h a n g e s .

When a man has suffered from dys­pepsia so many years that he can’t re­member when he had a natural appe­tite, and then hits on a way out o£ trouble he may be excused far saying “it acts like magic.”

When it is a simple, wholesome food instead of any one of a large num­ber of so cal^J remedies in the form of drugs, he is more than ever likely to feel as though a sort of miracle has been performed.

A Chicago man, in the delight of re­stored digestion, puts it in this way:

“Like magic, fittingly describes the manner in which Grape-Nuts relieved me of poor digestion, coated tongue and loss of appetite, of many years standing.

“ I tried about every medicine that was recommended to me, without re­lief. Then I tried Grape-Nuts on the suggestion of a friend. By the time I had finished the fourth package, my stomach was all right, and for the past two months I have been eating with a relish anything set before me. That is something i had been unable to do previously for years.

“I am stronger than ever and I con­sider the effects of Grape-Nuts on a weak stomach as something really wonderful. It builds up the entire body as well as the brain and nerves.” Name given by the Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

“ Yes Sir! Studebaker wagons are made to back up a reputation.**

“1 know, because wagons of every make come into my shop for repairs, and I have a chance to see how few' are Studebakers.”

That’s the opinion of thousands of blacksm iths who know the qua lity o f Studebaker wagons.

The owners never regretted that they bought Studebakers.

Tested materials, accurate workmanship insure a wagon unequaled fo r durab ility , and this careful selec­tion of wood, iron, steel, paint and varnish has beep a fixed ru le w ith the Studebaker Company for sixty years. That is w hy a Studebaker wagon runs easiest and lasts longest. It is bu ilt on honor.

W hether you live in town or pountry, there is a Studebaker veh ic le to f ill your requirements fo r business o r pleasure — and harness o f every descrip tion made as carefu lly as are Studebaker vehicles.

Installment 13

What he had proposed was done, and his very opponents served upon the committee charged with its accom­plishment. It was not going more than other colonies had done; It was only saying more; it was only deal­ing more fearlessly and frankly with fortune.

Even slow, conservative men like John Dickinson of Pennsylvania, shielded themselves behind cnlyan“if.” "The first act of violence on the part of administration in America." they knew, “or the attempt to reinforce General Gage this winter or next year, will put the whole continent in arms, from Nova Scotia to Georgia.

R e g u l a r s M e e t t h e Mi l i t i a .What they feared very speedily

came to pass.'Twas hardly four weeks from the

day Mr. Henry proclaimed a state of war in the convention at Richmond before the king's regulars were set upon at Lexington and Concord and driven back in rout to their quarters by the swarming militia men of Mass­achusetts.

On the 19th of April they had set out across a peaceful country to seize the military stores placed at Concord. Before the day was out they had been fairly thrown back into Boston, close upon three hundred of their com­rades gone to a last reckoning; and the next morning disclosed a rapidly growing provincial army drawn in threatened siege about them.

L or d D u n m o r e Foi l ed .In the darkness of that very night

(April 20), at the command oi Dun- more, a force of marines was land­ed from an armed sloop that lay in James river, in Virginia, to seize the gunpowder stored at Williams­burg.

The Virginians in their turn sprang to arms, and Dunmore was forced, ere he could rid himself of the busi­ness, to pay for the powder taken— pay Captain Fatrick Henry, at the head of a body of militia under arms.

E t h a n Al len H o l d s T w o F or t s .On the 10th of May the second Con­

tinental congress met at Philadelphia, with business to transact vastly differ­ent from that to which the first "con­gress of committees" had addressed it­self— not protests and resolves, but quick and efficient action.

The very day it met, a body of dar­ing provincials under Ethan Allen had walked into the open gates of Ticon- deroga and taken possession of the stout fortress “in the name of the Great Jehovah and the Continental congress,’’ and two days later a sim­ilar exploit secured Crown Point to the insurgents.

T h e C o u n t r y Un i t ed .Active war had begun; an army was

set down before Boston— a rude army that had grown to be sixteen thousand strong within the first week of its rally; the country was united in a gen­eral resistance, and looked to the con­gress to give it organization and guid­ance.

Colonel Washington had ccme to the congress in his provincial uniform, and found himself a great deal sought after in its committees.

Not only the drawing of state papers which would once more lustily their

cause and their resor. to arms in the eyes of the word, but the actual mus­tering and equipment of an army, quick fortification, the gathering of munitions and supplies, the raising of money and the organization of a com­missariat, the restraint of the In­dians upon the frontier, was the business in hand, and Washington’s advice was invaluable when such mat­ters were afoot.

W a s h i n g t o n P r o m p t t o Act .He showed no hesitation as to what

should be done.His own mind had long ago been

made up; and the sessions of the con­gress were not ended before Virginia was committed beyond all possibility of .drawing back.

The 1st of June saw her last house of burgesses convene; for by the 8th of the month Dunmore was a fugi­tive— had seen the anger of a Wil­liamsburg mob blaze hot against him, and had taken refuge in a man-of-war lying up the river.

The province was ready for revolu­tion, and Washington was ready to go with it.

It meant more than Washington thought that he had come to Phila­delphia habited like a soldier.

It had not been his purpose to draw all eyes upon him; it was merely his instinctive expression of his own per­sonal feeling with regard to the crisis that had come. But it was in its way a fulfilment of prophecy.

When the first Virginian convention chose delegates to attend the con­gress of 1774, "some of the tickets on the ballot assigned reasons for the choice expressed in them. Randolph should preside in congress; Lee and Henry should display the different kinds of eloquence for which they were renowned; Washington should command the army, if an army should be raised; Bland should open the treasures of ancient colonial learning; Harrison should utter plain truths; and Pendleton should be the penman for business."

S el f P o i s e o f t h e Vi rg i n i an * .No wonder the gentlemen from Vir­

ginia, coming with such confidence to the congress, made the instant im­pression they did for mastery and self-poise!

“There are some fine fellows come from Virginia,” Joseph Reed had re­ported,’ “but they are very high. We understand they are the capital men of the colony."

Washington alone awaited his cue. Now he was to get it, without expect­ing it.

A S t r u g g l i n g A r m y .The irregular army swarming be­

fore Boston was without standing or government. It had run hastily to­gether out of four colonies, was sub­ject to no common authority; hardly know what allegiance it bore; might fall to pieces unless it were adequate­ly commanded.

The congress in Philadelphia was called upon to recognize and adopt it, give It leave and authority to act for all the colonies, give it a commander, and summon the whole country to re­cruit it.

A L e a d e r O u t s i d e N e w E n g l a n d .There was an obvious political ne­

cessity that the thing should be done, and done promptly. Masaschusetts did not wish to stand alone; New Eng­land wanted the active assistance of the other colonies; something must be attempted to secure common action.

The first thing to do was to choose an acceptable and efficient leader, and to choose him outside New England.

To John Adams the choice seemed simple enough. There was no soldier in America, outside New England— nor inside either- -to be compared, wheth­er in experience or distinction, with Washington, the gallant, straightfor­ward, earnest Virginian he had learn­ed so to esteem and trust there In Philadelphia.

J o h n A d a m s N a m e s W a s h i n g t o n .He accordingly moved that congress

“adopt the army at Cambridge,” and declared that he had “but one gentle­man in mind" for its command— “a gentleman from Virginia, who was among us,” he said, “and very well known to all of us; a gentleman whose skill and experience as an offi­cer, whose independent fortune, great talents, and excellent universal char­acter, would command the approba­tion of all America, and unite the cor­dial exertions of all the colonies bet­ter than any other person in the union."

■Washington, taken unawares, rose and slipped in confusion from the room.

W a s h i n g t o n t h e U n a n i m o u s Choice .Some of his own friends doubted

the expediency of putting a Virginian at the head of a New England army, but the more clear-sighted among the New Englanders did not, and the se­lection was made, after a litle hesita­tion, unanimously.

Washington accepted his commis­sion with that mixture of modesty and pride that made men love and honor him. “You may believe me, my dear Patsy,” were his simple words to his wife, "when I assure you in the most solemn manner, that, so far from seek­ing this appointment, I have used ev­ery endeavor in my power to avoid it, not only from my unwillingness to part with you and the family, but from a consciousness of its being a trust too great for my capacity. .But as it has been a kind of destiny that has thrown me upon this service, I shall hope that my undertaking it

Leagues of Vast Forests* -

M uch T i m b e r L a n d in N o r t h a n d S o u t h A m e r i c a , C e n t r a l A f r i c a

a n d S i be r ia .

There is an immense and contin- f l o u s tract of forest lying north of the St. Lawrence river, in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario, extending northward to Hudson Bay and Lab­rador, a region measuring about 1,700 miles in length from east to west and a thousand miles in width north and south

By some it is held that a much larger continuous area of timber lands exists in the state of Washington and northward through British Columbia and Alaska. But this contention is limited to North America, for, it has been pointed out, there lies a forest in the valley of the Amazon embrac­ing much of northern Brazil, eastern Peru. Bolivia. Ecuador, Colombia and Guiana, a region at least 2.100 miles in length by 1.300 in breadth

Vhen. tco 'here must be considei-

ed the forest area of central Africa. In the valley of the Congo, Including the headwaters of the Nile to the northeast and those of the Zambesi on the south. According to reliable estimates, Central Africa contains a forest region not less than 3,000 miles In length from north to south, and of vast although not fully known width from east to west.

The question which continent pos­sesses the greatest forest, says Har­per’s Weekly, has been placed in an­other light by an expiorer who is competent to speak of still another great forest region of the globe. This authority has painted a vivid picture of the vast pine, larch and cedar for­ests of Siberia.

Siberia from the plain of the Obi river on the west to the valley of the Indighirka on the east, embracing the great plains or river valleys of the Yenesei. Olenek. Lena and Yana rivers, is one great timber belt, aver­aging more than 1.000 miles in

is designed to answer some good pur­pose. . . . It was utterly out of my power to refuse this appointment, without exposing my character to such censures as would have reflected dishonor-upon myself and given pain to my friends."

W a s h i n g t o n A c c e p t s W i t h Mo de s t y .He spoke in the same tone to the

congress. “I beg i t may be remem­bered,” he said, "by every gentleman in this room, that I this day declare with the utmost sincerity I do not think myself equal to the command I am honored with."

His commission was signed on the 19th of June; on the 21st he was on the road to the north— the road he had traveled twenty years ago to con­sult with Governor Shirley in Boston upon questions of rank, and to fall into Mary Philipse’s snare by the way; the road he had ridden after the races, but three years ago, to put Jacky Custis at college in New York.

J o h n A d a m s De l igh t ed .“There is something charming to

me in the conduct of Washington." exclaimed John Adams; and it was wholesome for the whole country that such a man should be put at the head of affairs. Many ignoble things were being done in the name of liberty, and an ugly tyranny had been brought to every man’s door— “the tyranny ot his next-door neighbor.”

There were men by the score In the colonies who had no taste or sympa­thy for the rebellion they now saw afoot— common men who knew little or nothing of the mother-country, as well as gentlemen of culture who loved her traditions and revered her crown; farmers and village lawyers, as well as merchants gt the ports who saw their living gone and ruin staring them in the face.

R u l e of t h e Ma jo r i ty .But the local committees and the

“Sons of Liberty” everywhere saw to

it that such men should know and dread and fearfully submit to the views of the majority. Government was suspended, there was nowhere so much as a justice of the peace acting under the authority of the crown.

There might have beeu universal li­cense had the rabble not seen their leaders so noble, so bent upon high and honorable purposes. It wras an object-lesson in the character of the revolution to see Washington ride through the oolonies to take charge of an insurgent army. And no man or woman, or child even, was likely to miss the lesson.

That noble figure drew all eyes to it; that mein as if the man were a prince; that sincere and open counte­nance, which every man could see was lighted by a good conscience; that cordial ease in salute, as of a man who felt himself brother to his friends.

S h o w s H i m s e l f t o t h e Peop l e .There was something about Wash­

ington that quickened the pulses of a crowd at the same time that it awed them, that drew cheers which were a sort of voice of worship. Chil­dren desired sight of him, and men felt lifted after he had passed. It was good to have such a man ride all the open way from Philadelphia to Cam­bridge in sight of the people to as­sume command of the people’s army.

It gave character to the thoughts of all who saw him.

Matters had not stood still before Boston to await a commander sent by congress.

While Washington waited for his commission and made ready for his journey there had been fighting done which was to simplify his task.

General William Howe had reached Boston with reinforcements on the 25th of May, and quite ten thousand troops held the city, while a strong fleet of men-of-war lay watchfully in the harbor.

T h e B r i t i s h H e s i t a t e .There was no hurry, it seemed,

about attacking the sixteen thousand raw provincials, whose long lines were drawn loosely about the town from Charlestown Neck to Jamaica Plain. But commanding hills looked across the water on either hand— in Charles­town on the north and in Dorchester on the southeast— and It would be well, Howe saw, to secure them, lest they should be occupied by the insur­gents.

On the morning of the 17th of June.

breadth from north to south, beingfully 1,700 miles wide in the Yenesei district, and having a length fromeast to west of not less than 3,000miles.

Unlike equatorial forests, the trees of the Siberian taigas are mainly con­ifers, comprising pines of several varieties, firs and larches. In the Yenesei, Lena and Olenek regions there are thousands of square miles where no human being has ever been. The long-stemmed conifers rise to a height of 150 feet or more and they stand so close together that walking among them is extremely difficult.

The dense lofty tops exclude the j pale arctic sunshine, and the straight I pale trunks, all looking exactly alike,I so bewilder the eye in the obscurity I that all sense of direction is soon lost.| Even the most experienced trappers

of sable dare not venture in the dense taigas without taking the precaution of “blazing" the trees constantly with

: hatchets as they walk forward. If , lost there the hunter rarely finds his 1 way out, but perishes miserably from starvation or cold The natives avoid the taigas and have a name for them

however, while leisurely preparation* were a-making in Boston to occupy the hills of Charlestown, it was dis­covered that the provincials had been beforehand in the project. There they were in the clear sun, working dili­gently at redoubts of their own upon the height.

A t a F e a r f u l Cos t .Three thousand men were put

across the water to drive them oft. Though they mustered only seventeen hundred behind their unfinished works, there were several assault* and the loss of a thousand men wa» the cost of dislodging them.

They withheld their fire till the red­coats were within-fifty— nay, th ir ty - yards of them, and then poured out a deadly, blazing fire which no man could face and live. They were oust­ed only when they failed of powder and despaired of reinforcements.

Veteran officers who had led the as­sault declared the regulars of France were not more formidable than these militia-men, whom they had despised as raw peasants.

There was no desire to buy another American position at that price; and Washington had time enough for the complimentary receptions and ad­dresses and the elaborate parade of escort and review that delayed his journey to headquarters.

He reached Cambridge on the 2d of July, and bore himself with so straightforward and engaging a cour­tesy In taking command that the offi­cers he superseded could not but like him: Jealousy was disarmed.

N o t Idea l So l d i er s .But he found neither the prepay

ations nor the spirit of the army to his liking. His soldierly sense of or­der was shocked by the lose discigv line, and his Instinct of command by the free and easy insolence of that ir­regular levy; and his authority grew stern as he labored to bring the mot­ley host to order and effective organi­zation.

“The people of this government have obtained a character,” his confi­dential letters declared, “ which they by no means deserved— their officers, generally speaking, are the most in­different kind of people I ever saw. I dare say the men would fight very well (if properly officered), although they are an exceedingly dirty and nasty people. . . . It is among the most difficult tasks I ever undertook in my life to induce these people to believe that there is, or can be, danger till the bayonet is pushed at their breasts. Not that it proceeds from any uncom­mon prowess, but rather from an un­accountable kind of stupidity in the lower class of these people, which, be­lieve me, prevails but too generally among the officers of the Massachu­setts part of the army, who are near­ly of the same kidney with the pri­vates.”

I m p r o v e on A c q u a i n t a n c e .He had seen like demoralization and

slackness in the old days at Winches­ter, on the wild frontier, but he had expected to find a better spirit and discipline in the New England levies.

His first disgust, however, soon wore off. He was not slow .to see how shrewd and sturdy these uncouth, in­tractable ploughboys and farmers could prove themselves upon occa­sion.

M a t e r i a l f o r a Good A r m y .“I have a sincere pleasure in ob­

serving,” he wrote to congress, “that there are materials for a good army, a great number of able-bodied men, active, zealous in the cause, and of unquestionable courage.”

There was time enough and to spare in which to learn his army’s quality. “ Our lines of defence are now com­pleted,” h| sould tell Lund Washing­ton on the 20th of August, “as near so at least as can be— we now wish them to come out as soon as they please; but they discover no inclination to quit their own works of defense; and as it is almost impossible for us to get at them, we do nothing but watch each other’s motions all day at the distance of about a mile.”

A n I m m e n s e C o r r e s p o n d e n c e .He could even turn away from

military affairs to advise that “ spin­ning should go forward with all pos­sible despatch" on the estate at home, and to say, “I much approve of your sowing wheat in clean ground, al­though you should be late in doing it.”

Once more he settled to the old fa­miliar work, this time upon a great scale, of carrying a difficult enterprise forward by correspondence. Letters to the Continental Congress at Phila- dephia, letters to the provincial con­gresses of the New England colonies, letters to subordinate (sometimes in- sbordinate) officers at distant posts, letters to intimate friends and in­fluential men everywhere, setting forth the needs and situation of the army, advising measures of organiza­tion, supply, and defense, pointing out means that might be used and mis­takes that must be avoided, command­ing, dissuading, guiding, forecasting, poured steadily forth from those busy headquarters, where the comamnder- in-chief was always to be found, in­tent, deeply employed, calmly impera­tive, never tiring, never hesitating, never storming, a leader and master of men and affairs.

What shall I give for a wedding gift? And what for a gift to the sweet girl graduate?

These are the questions upppermost In the minds of most every one these days. Christmas and birthday pres­ents are easier to select, as we are apt to know the individual preferences of our near and dear friends, but in ma­king a gift that is to mark two of the most eventful occasions in life one is often at a loss.

In days gone by teaspoons seemed to be the accepted offering to a bride; once a young woman received seven dozen. Afterward in confidence she said, “Of course, I suppose it’s true that one never can have too many spoons, but how many other things I would have liked!” It just happened that she could not change any of the spoons, as all were marked, and all from friends who sent personal notes, saying ‘they were just sure she would be delighted with teaspoons.”

A woman of discretion and judg­ment who has given wedding presents Lo several generations says that if the young people are going to house­keeping she gives a door knocker, for even if the home is an apartment its quite the thing to have a knocker on the door; otherwise she gives candlesticks of brass, Sheffield or sil­ver. Silver sugar tongs are a charm­ing gift not apt to be duplicated or glass and silver dishes for sliced lemon with a two-pronged lemon fork, an odd-shaped tea caddy, in Sheffield, are good, as are all bits of Sheffield, either old or modern.

There are lovely sugar baskets and individual salts and almond dishes in pierced silver, and several girls are making collections of al sorts of little odd-shaped boxes in silver, brass and Sheffield. If we know the special fad or hobby of our friends it is always well to add to the collection as the opportunity presents itself.

There is no great difference be­tween graduation presents and those given for weddings, but for the former we may find very delightful books, with pages for class history, class photographs and all the doings of commencement week. Such books are also obtainable for the bride, but one should make sure that there are no duplicates.

To go back to silver, there are all | sorts of tea strainers, cups in silver holders, jelly jars, cheese jars with 3ilver scoops, silver flower holders and handkerchief chains, such as our grandmothers carried.

In china, who would not like bouil­lon cups, compotes or salad plates, all of which may be odd pieces? Then there are wonderfuly clever bowls and Jugs in inexpensive pottery for holding flowers; the shallow ones may be equipped with Japanese or glass flow­er holders. Instead of the omnipres­ent cut-glass bowl, of which brides usually have dozens, select one good piece of rock crystal or a bit of opalescent glass; sherbet cups and tumblers look well In the latter and one does not tire of them. Nearly every one has something of which they make a specialty. For instance, an industrious maiden aunt sees that all the girls in her famil- are sup­plied with knitted wash clothes and bath towels, and a goodly showing they make, all tied with ribbon. A box of fine toilet soap accompanies the handiwork, all done up in tissue paper, banded with white satin rib­bon. A grandmother gives each grandchild a silk quilt on the wedding day aud an adoring aunt furnishes all her nieces with exquisite bags.

Then, who would not like four colonial glass candle sticks or a set of coasters with lemonade or iced tea glasses? Of trays there is no end in shapes, prices and materials. Any girl w'ould like a set of clipping scissors and magazine opener. They come in brass, bronze and silver and a case of three or five scissors is an always welcome gift, as are jewel boxes and work boxes in leather.

Gifts of hand work are best of all and made from rare bits of brocade and embroidered, picked up during frequent trips abroad. Speaking of bags, one can never have too many

and they are an acceptable gift to either bride or graduate; those of white hand embroidered or of Irish crochet are fitting accessories to the popular all-white costume. A set o} six hand made towels, a pair of pil­low cases or a bedroom set in art em- brodiery are all good and stationery of all sizes, while the die is a gift longed for by many a girl.

When it comes to personal gifts, the list is too long to be given in a limited space, but I heard an eighteen- year-old girl say “she just hoped everybody would give her things that she could not afford herself.” Silk stockings, for instance, was there ever a maid wdth too many?

A good idea is for the family or a group of intimate friends to combine and each give a piece of either tur­quoise or coral, so the girl will have a complete set. This makes the ex­pense evenly divided, and it is better than each giving a separate article. Desk sets may be given In this way, for it is more harmonious to have all pieces match In form and coloring. Fans and hair ornaments must not be forgotten, and how about a real lace handkerchief for either bride or gradu­ate?

W e d d i n g Me nus .So many requests have reached my

desk for suggestions for wedding re­freshments that I slip these in. though it is contrary to our rules to use our valuable space for menus. I hope these will assist the many June brides:

C r y s t a l a n d C o v e r e d B u t t o n s .Crystal and covered buttons seem

to be in the lead. The colored crystal ones are used on many of the tailored suits, even those in heavy, dark ma­terials. But they fflso ornament tha sheerest of blouses and lingerio frocks. As for the covered buttons, they are of all kinds; some so tiny that when set in a close row they look, at a little distance, like an Ir­regular cord or braid; others fiat and larger than a silver quarter. Buttons of several different sizes but of the same material and shape are used on the same dress. On white waists or dresses, trimmed wdth color, crystal buttons wdth a rim of the same color are sewed on wdth silk to match.

N e w B r a c e l e t s .If your forearm is white and round­

ed, it deserves the decoration of a bracelet. Depending upon the size of your income or of your earnings, you may have a pretty and dainty brace­let of filigree silver, of silver link3 and crystals or in silver bands joined by tiny chains in coral. Just a wee bit more expensive are the beautifully- engraved bangles in sterling silver and gold and a trifle beyond the in­come of the w’eil-to-do wage earner (who is thrifty) are the snake brace­lets in gold, set with amethysts.

T u l l e S c a r f s .Pretty little scarfs are made of two

long or short lengths of tulle, knotted at the ends or ornamented with tas­sels. They supply a little w'armth and a touch of color may be given to the costume by them, as the two lengths used together may combine a color with either white or black.

J e t B e a d s W o r n .Black jet beads are being worn

around the neck and as coiffure deco­rations. When w’orn in the hair they are attached to a band of black tulle, broadly encircling the head, and orna­mented sideways, or backways, with a b>. w of tulle.

The making of the useful table bookcase of which we give a sketch is extremely simple, and may be un­dertaken by the amateur carpenter without fear of failure.

It can be carried out to suit re­quirements, and is composed of four pieces of wood, which can be dove­tailed together or fastened together with screws.

Well-planed w.ood about half or hree quarters of an inch in thickness hould be used for the upper part, and or the base a piece of wood of at east an inch in thickness will be re- uired, and it should be rounded at :o corners and bevelled at the edges.At either t , io small brass handles

] are fastened on with screws, by which the case and contents may be lifted

I and moved when occasion requires. | Suitable handles, with brass screws

to fit, may be obtained at any iron- ! monger’s at a trifling cost. When

complete, the case can be stained a | nice dark fereen and afterwards var­

nished.A case of this kind will be found

extremely useful upon a writing table, for the • few books of reference that are always necessary to have at hand, and in a bedroom also, placed, per­haps, upon the chest of drawers, it will be very handy for balding just a few of the favorite boijks that one likes to have at hand.

A man with small feet hideth them not. and she whose hands are well formed delighteth to play chess. _

Why doth the virgin rejoice? Why readeth she her love letters to her sisters? Behold, there is a compliment therein, and It shall no t be concealed.

Enthusiastic is women's praise of a passable damsel; yea, they lift up tbeir voice continually, saying, Lo, she hath fine eyes. But when she who dazzleth men’s sight approacheth, be­hold thier tongues are hushed, they whisper ’one to another in their con­fusion, confessing her comeliness.

As a man with his first automobile, so is an old wife with a young hus­band; she is fond, yet fearful.

The shop damsel extolleth her wares, saying, Lo, I myself wear this kind. And the customer smileth bit­terly, and turneth away.

To a clever woman, a man without audacity is a weariness to the spirit; and as for the timid one who, qbeyeth her, lo, she sendeth him upon errands. — Gelett Burgess in American Maga­zine.

The doors of a certain new house had shrunk horribly, as is the way of the modern door made of unsea­soned wood and left to shrink i) use. The builder would not send t! joiner to replace them. So the householder tried the ironclad meth­od and wrote:

"Dear Sir: The mice can run un­der most of our doors, but our cat cannot follow them. W ill you please send a man at once to make room un­der the doors for the cat, and much oblige?”

Next day the joiner came.— Man­chester Guardian.

Mr. Winkle is a wharfinger, sir, at the canal, sir.” And Mr. Pickwick found in "a quiet, sub­stantial looking street stood an old red brick house with three steps be­fore it, bearing, in fat Roman capitals, the words, "Mr. Winkle.’ ”— Pall Mall Gazette.

Scientific hammering of the spinal column, technically known as spondy- lotherpy, is one of the latest treat­ments to be adopted by members of the Philadelphia medical profession.

WASHING A H ILL AWAY

The strange sight of a hill being washed away by means of hydraulic jets is to be seen only a mile from the center of Calgary, Alberta. Each night a powerful hydraulic plant is at work, washing away a thousand cubic yards of “dirt.” The object of this strange proceeding Is twofold, consisting of the terracing of the hill and the filling up of the old river channel. The wa­ter is turned on at 8 p. m. each day, and the wearing away of the hill pro­ceeds steadily for ten hours. The work can only be done at night, as the city declined to grant permission for the use of the necessary water in the daytime, in case the drain on the sup­ply during the busy part of the 24 hours should prove too great. The wa­ter, under high pressure, is discharged against the sides of the hill through a hydraulic “ giant,” such as is used in placer mining. It is estimated that 90 days will be required to complete the task, which involves the displace­ment of 110,000 cubic yards of "dirt." O' °ined in the first place from a six- inch main, the water is forced though the nozzle at a pressure of 200 pounds by the use of a two-stage centrifugal pump driven by a 100 horsepower eleclric motor.

FORTUNE OUT OF REVENGE

The romance of a fortune that was made out of revenge is recalled in New York by the death of Mr. E. S. Welles, the inventor of a world-famous rat poison. When Mr. Welles and the man with whom he then worked were living in poverty, and had only a sin­gle loaf of bread between them and starvation, this last morsel of food was eat,en hy rats. Welles swore ven­geance, and set about discovering a means to rid the world of rats. After numerous experiments he began the manufacture of “Rough on Rats” in an old barn in Jersey City, and in four years he rose to affluence.

SW ALLOW 'S LONG FLIGHT

A flight of 6.000 miles was complet­ed by a swallow, which arrived in Natal recently. The bird, which had been ringed and marked In England prior to its winter migration, made the long journey from Cheadle (Staf­fordshire), to Roodeyand Farm, Natal, where it nested.

NEST OF THE STICKLEBACK

K ILLS W HITE MOOSE

A pure white moose was killed in the northwest on Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, by a trapper, Ezra Higgins, some days ago. The skin and head arrived at Seattle, Wash., the other day, on the steamship Northland from Cordova, Alaska. The fate of the white moose was closely guarded in Alaska, and the story not made public until after the Northland left Cordova. The Thlinket Indians cherish an old tradition that this, or a similar white moose, was the spirit of an Indian maiden, the daughter of a beloved chief. One winter day the girl left the village for a visit to another and became bewildered in a blizzard and was never seen again. After the great storm had passed over, searching par­ties went into the ravines of Kenai Peninsula to search for the maiden When in the woods a beautiful snow- white moose sprang out of a thicket and dashed away. Year after year the Indians have worshiped the albino moose and from time to time the ani­mal has been seen. Now that an albino moose has been killed the In­dians will miss it unless, as many hunters think, there are several in that section.

GAVE HORSE A REAL FUNERAL

The first real funeral of a common every-day driving horse that Philadel­phia has ever seen was held in that city last week. Bowed with grief over the death of her best horse, Mrs. E. F. Krewson, a well-known philan­thropist and lover of animals, gave a decent burial to the horse that had been her companion for sixteen years.

Orders were given for a regular cof­fin, and carpenters made one of pine and lined it with burlap. It was placed upon a dray for a hearse and taken to the Blackwood farm for bu­rial.

Mrs. Krewson followed in a funeral carriage and the animal was interred in the pasture.

BUTTERFLIES AS M IM ICS

Writing on the subject of insect mim­icry, a Hindu correspondent of Nature says: The general Immunity of butter­flies and day-flying moths from attack by insectivorous birds is as strikingly evident here ae it is in Eugland or America, and seems a serious ditticulty In the way of accepting the Batesian theory of mimicry. Not only do the birds of this district pay no attention j to the common butterfles, but the lat- j ter seem to despise the . former. In contrast with , this immunity I have j found that nocturnal moths, if forced to take long flights during the day­time, are very liable to attack, and in j these circumstances stand a very poor chance indeed of reaching a haven of refuge. It would seem, then, that un­familiar lepidoptera the much more liable to attack than the common every-day kinds. May it not be that the real danger to a species occurs during migrations, and that mimetic resemblances may afford a real protec­tion during such flights? In entering a new district a mimetic species would be immune from attack if the birds were familiar with the model, even If the latter were not unpalatable, while, on the other hand, unpalatable species migrating would be liable to attack if unfamiliar to the local birds.

By those who do not know it is too often assumed that fishes are stupid and devoid of all parental instinct. This is by no means the case. The stickleback, for instance, build a nest which, in the case of the sea-stickle- back, is made of a mass of pendant sea weeds held together in a pear- shaped form by a silk-like thread. The eggs are laid in the .center of this and the male parent will guard them for weeks, repairing any harm done to the nest. The ten-spined stickle­

back does not make its nest in the mud, but attaches it, at a height, to water plants. The male makes a rounded bundle of fine weeds and at­taches this to the plant. Then he burrows into the bundle, and having got Inside it, turns about until the nest has taken the form of a muff. The catfish has been known to make a nest in an old stovepipe and in an old sack. With those fishes which show an Interest in their offspring it is the male which takes the chief part, build­ing the nest, guarding the eggs, pro­tecting and bringing up the young.

GRAFT FROM DYING MAN

Grafting flesh from a dying man to the body of a living person has been successfully carried out in a Michi­gan hospital. Three months ago Ja­cob Kulem, an employe of the Kala­mazoo Paper company, was caught in a paper making machine and the flesh from his right shoulder torn away. Afterwards a victim of a railroad ac­cident was brought in a dying condi­tion to the hospital, and 360 square inches of flesh was taken from his legs and grafted to the shoulder of Kulem, says the San Francisco Call. He is now out of the hospital and en­tirely restored to his usual health.

STRIPPED BY LIGHTNING

Lightning played a curious prank. Pierre Deese, a Creole farmer, living on the place of Sidney Arceneaux, six miles north of Rayne, La., was return­ing from town driving a wagon loaded with cotton seed, when he was struck by a bolt of lightning.

The lightning tore his hat. clothing and shoes to shreds, melting the eye­lets out of his shoes and tearing the soles off. His trousers were torn ae though slashc I with a knife again and again. His t ‘.*> horses were both in­stantly killed. Yet, beyond severe burns and the Ahock, he was not seri- atisly in jiw e dA A d will recover.

City-breii in the world’s greatest metropolis and untrained as to things agricultural, were-J. C. Hill and his; three boys when they settled on home- j steads at Lloydminster, in the Prov­ince of Saskatchewan (western Can­ada), eight years ago. Today they are the recpgnized champion oat grow­ers of the North American continent, having won twice in succession the silver challenge cup, valued at $1,500 at the Fifth National Corn exposition Columbia, S. C. The Plate, officially known as the Colorado Oat trophy, is emblematic of the grand champion­ship prize for the best bushel of oats exhibited by individual farmers or ex­periment farms these expositions.

The Hill entry won this year in the face of the keenest competition, hun­dreds of exhibits being sent by expe­rienced farmers frorr. all parts of the United States and Canada. The oats were grown on land which was wild prairie less thar four years ago.

When Mr. Hill and his three sons, who probably never saw a wider acre­age than the hills of Hampstead Heath, or the parks of London, came to Saskatchewan eight years ago, they had little more capital than was re­quired for homestead entry fees. They filed on four homesteads, in the Lloyd­minster district, which straddles the boundary of Alberta and Saskatche- i wan. They went to work with a will, ripping the rich brown sod with break- ; ing plows and put in a crop, which yielded fair returns.

They labored early and late and de­nied themselves paltry pleasures, glad ' to stand the gaff for a while in rising to their possibilities. They talked with successful farmers and studied crops ! and conditions and profited by both. 1 The new life on the farm was strange but they never lost heart, handicapped as they were by lack of experience and capital.

The farm house, modern in every respect, compares favorably with any residence in the city. The Hills have substantial bank accounts and their credit is gilt-edge from Edmonton to ! Winnipeg and beyond.

“ There is nothing secret about our methods nor is our plan copyrighted, j We first made a thorough study of ! climatic conditions, soil and seed,” | said Mr. Hill. “ We tended our crops j carefully and gradually added live stock, realizing from the beginning ! that mixed farming would pay larger and more certain returns than straight grain growing. AVe have demonstrated that fact to our satisfaction and the result is that many of the farmers in the district are following our exam- ; pie.”

The land that the Hills work is of the same class as may be found any­where in Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta.— Advertisement.

T h e E f f e c t s o f O p i a t e s .U IAT INFANTS are peculiarly susceptible to opium aud its various

preparations, all of which are narcotic, is well known. Even in the1 smallest doses, if continued, these opiates cause changes in the func­

tions and growth of the cells which are likely to become permanent, causing imbecility, mental perversion, a craving for alcohol or narcotics in later life. Nervous diseases, such as intractable nervous dyspepsia and lack of staying powers are a result of dosing with opiates or narcotics to keep children quiet In their infancy. The rule among physicians is that children should never receive opiates in the smallest doses for more than a day at a time, and only then if unavoidable.

The administration of Anodynes, Drops, Cordials, Soothing Syrups and other narcotics to children by any but a physician _ cannot be too strongly decried, and the druggist should not be a party to it. Children who are ill need the attention of a physician, and it is nothing less than a crime to dose them w illfully with narcotics.

man gels shot up and lias a wedding in his family and goes into a libel suit all in one yeai That bullet in Milwau­kee eosl me about and the wed­ding cost me about the same, and 1 don’t know how much I'm going tu have to pay out for this suit.”

Five witnesses, including a relative, a former member of the rough riders regiment, a former locomotive fireman, a newspaper man and a former judge, testified They were Philip Roosevelt, a young son of the c-olonel’s cousin; Charles Willis Thompson, a newspaper man; Andrew A. Abele, a former loea- motive fireman; Edwin Emerson. Cu­ban rough rider campaigner, and A. Z. Blair, a former common pleas judge of Ohio, who disfranchised many men in Adams county for illegal voting The substance of the testimony was:

That during Ids campaign in Culm with the rough riders CoHmel Roose­velt drank only black coffee or water and never any liquor of any kind

That during his political campaigns tlie colonel drank champagne only oc­casionally and never to excess.

That while Colonel Roosevelt kept a large and varied supply of wines sit his home he never indulged in them Im­moderately. .

P i n c h o t T a k e s S t an d . Explaining that he had observed

Theodore Roosevelt closely for years because lie Was Interested in the rea­sons for his unusual “efficiency." G if ford Pinchot. chief forester in the Roosevelt administration, corroborated testimony as to the temperate habits of tbe plaintiff.

After identifying himself Mr. Pinchot explained that he had known Mr Roosevelt a long time.

“ Have you observed Mr. Roosevelt keenly?” inquired Mr. Pound

"Yes, I have. My reasons for observ­ing him was a deep interest in tlie sub ject of efficiency. If I saw a man who was caimhle of unusual work, who was very efficient, 1 wanted to observe why —to learn why he was efficient. I ob served what he ate, what he drank, how much he slept—everything which might account for unusual efficiency So I studied Mr. Roosevelt”

“ Now, from that observation please tell the jury whether lie drank spirit­uous or malt liquors-”

“ Occasionally a glass of wine.” “ Could the plaintiff in this case have

drunk to excess—have been a heavy drinker—without you knowing it?"

“ No. he could not”“ You have seen drinking men; you

know when a man is drunk?”Mr. Pinchot returned a reply, “ I do,”

before Mr. Andrews could offer objec­tion. The matter was cleared up, how ever, hy Mr. Andrews stating that the defense would admit that the witness was competent to tell a drunken man when lie saw one.

“ On public occasions what were the habits of the plaint iff as to tbe use of liquor?” continued Mr. Pound.

“ Always temperate." ’“ You .have dined at-Oyster Bay?” “ Many times.”“ When there were other guests and

when you were tlie only one?”“ Both.”“ Was there wine when there were

guests?"“ Yes; sometimes white wine or may­

be sherry. I think I have never seen champagne on the table there.”

Witness said that he had seen Mr Roosevelt drjnk one mint julep, charn pagne a few times apd ljght wine a few times.

"Did you ever see him drink between men Is?” asked the attorney tor the plaintiff.

“Only thpt ope jglpp an_d pepijpps once or twicp light wipe-”

SENATE DECIDES ON TARIFF LOBBY VOTE

Adopts Resolution After Four Hours’ Debate.

Washington. May 30.—The senate voted unanimously to direct an Inves­tigation into tlie charge made hy tlie president lh a tii lobby is in Washing­ton seeking to influence sentiment,on the tariff bill The resolution, intro duced by Senator Cummins of Iowa, was passed after more than four hours of hot debate, but after it bad been amended in such a way that Senator Rout and others declared that it was emasculated.

The resolution has given the Demo­cratic leaders a great deal of trouble. They would gladly have avoided the investigation not because they feared tlie disclosure, but because they realize that it is likely to take up a lot of time of the senate that might be devoted to expediting the tariff bill, but President Wilson showed no disposition to stand out against tlie investigation. Ou tho contrary, he sent word to his party leaders that he would welcome investi­gation and stood ready to place at their disposal information to back up his charges. The president avowed him­self willing to supply names as well as information When these names are disclosed it is likely a number of Dem­ocrats will be In the list, some of them former politicians.

Senator Simmons, chairman of the finance committee, let it be known that the Democrats would advocate the in­vestigation. but would insist on amend ments to the resolution These amend­ments were made before the resolution was put on its final passage. Senator Kern, leader of the majority, proposed the principal amendment, which after being modified by Senator Reed of Missouri and Senator Eippitt of Rhode Island was finally adopted by a vote of 38 to 28, tlie Democrats voting solidly for it and the Republicans against it. The amended resolution was then passed without a division by a unani­mous vote.

As amended the resolution authorizes an investigation hy the judiciary com­mittee of tlie senate instead of by a select committee.
