The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3- Its correspondents are able and energetic.

Picturesque, indeed, are these men with their long hair braided across the top of the head, so that approaching them from the rear, as they repose for a moment from their labor, it is difficult to tell the men from the women.

It is rather difficult to feel convinced of the truth of this statement, in view of the fact that a similar kind of xylophone gymnastics is daily practised upon all beetlefests of the boarding house variety for the purpose of rendering them juicy to tender. Though the mosquito may seem entirely irrelevant to the foregoing, it rather obviously pops up and into the argument, and in so doing suggests the question as to whether or not this winged auger could penetrate the leatheren envelope of a subject so hammered into the pink of cast iron perfection; and also if an expert with a pair of antifat mallets could not, while discoursing impromptu moonlight fantasies on his anatomy with the same, hit the mosquitoes as they light upon him, and thereby "Spatters"s father was to deliver a stump speech at San Diego in his own behalf as a candidate for governor of California. While practicing the speech, mounted on a hogshead, he fell in and broke his leg. Spatters had been a rapt listener to his father's eloquence and in the evening the little boy appeared before the meeting to deliver the speech from memory. Malevolence. I know the speech and it's a corker. This is it: 'Friends, San Dlegans, behind us lies the past; before us lies the future.' His freckled little right hand stretched to the future while the left pushed back the past. "It has been nobly said that we shall reap as we have sown; in many cases, therefore, we must reap the fruit of poisonous seeds. But each year brings its new sowing; what do we now choose to plant?" The crowd was surging toward the platform in its enthusiasm, but Eary and Bill held it back and motioned to the child to proceed. "We are proud of you, papa," said the man's three handsome daughters. "Ah, you are?" he said, beamingly. "What have I done now?" "You have acquired taste in art," said the handsomest of the trio. "I don't mind telling you now, that there was a time when we despaired of your ever appreciating the classic. Thank goodness, you have improved, under our tuition, until you can pick out the really beautiful every time. Instead of admiring the razzle-dazzle, topsy-turvy designs in architecture and decorations that formerly pleased you, you now choose the simple easy lines of pure art." "Thank you, my dears," said the man. "I am glad you kept hammering away at me so persistently." Once upon a time in Tennessee there lived a man named John Templin. He seldom did any work, not even chores. He was called the laziest man in Bledsoe county. He had no pride, and would rather beg than work. Now there was an exhorter preacher named Fentress who occasionally filled various pulpits, and on one occasion he filled the pulpit where John Templin worshiped, when he was not too lazy to worship. Rev. Fentress opened the Bible and began reading the 36th chapter of Exodus. When he was reading, he looked hard at. Templin, until everybody saw by his demeanor that he was going to say something unusual, and then he read that verse: "And he made a covering for the A wonderful fellow was he whom I sing, so courteous, manly and clever.

Now and then the women come into the villages to beg or barter, or, as the village folk hint, to steal; telling fortunes to those who may harken, as incentive to other business. Seated on one of the crude rock walls that hem in the flats of corn land in the shadows of the Lombardy poplars, these gossypies, men and women, smoking their pipes and chattering in their curious lingo, ever tempt the much-abused camera. For background there will be some old Magyar castle, its turrets peeping through the aisle of trees, and with the sentinel at its gate—a soldier in uniform but a gypsy at heart, for while they pay no taxes in Magyria, they are forced to do military service much as they against it. Less and less each year grow the number of the gossypies, less and less frequent their visits, until it will doubt not be long before, like the Arabs, they will have folded their tents for all time and silently stolen away. cause them to explode and scatter to the misty realm of otherwise. It is rather a difficult question to answer satisfactorily on the fly and without a considerable investment of thought. In fact it may be regarded somewhat in the light of a recondete proposition in view of its importance from both a physical and a hygienic point of view; for when the performer gracefully caroms on himself and the persistent torture of nourishment, fat and destroys a mature organism malaria, thus killing two birds with one stone, or rather two mosquitoes with one hammer. It only remains to add that there is a colossal fortune awaiting the man who can find in the above a suggestion upon which to produce a hammer which shall prove to all lovers of good government an instrument with which the fat can be ruthlessly whacked off a political suture while it flattens the skulls of the human mosquitoes that would convert the body politic into a fountain of unadulterated financial joy—Exchange "The choice is worthy of consideration," the speech flowed on, every word, every gesture as he had heard and seen. "The whole country will hall the day," he cried, and finally, "Arise, San Diegans; I stand here before you to emphasize—to emphasize." He turned cold with fear. He could not remember what came next. He struck the platform savagely with his right foot, struck it over and over, but the pressure did not bring the words. Then he remembered why, "Oh, I didn't hear him," he said, forgetting the patient's warning. "That was where dad fell in hoodshead." Big tears began to streak his cheeks. "Oh, if I could only say the rest I could make you vote for us sure," he burst out, "but won't you do it anyway?

When his daughter had left the room the man took off his glasses and rubbed them thoughtfully. "Well, what do you think of that?" he said. "I have become artistic, have it? And why? Because my eyesight is so poor. That is the only reason. Those fantastic, curlycue figures that used to please my taste no longer appeal to me because they hurt my eyes. I am driven to classic lines in self-defense. Most people of my age heard an art dealer say that half the people he thought they had developed the art temperament with years, had only ruined their eyes and needed glasses.

VICTIMS OF SNAKES AND TIGERS More than 22,000 human beings were killed by snakes and tigers and wolves, but principally by snakes, in India last year. In the United States last year there is no record that any person was killed by a wild animal—plenty were killed by domestic animals, which is beside the point—and neither is there any record of a person dying as a result of the bite of a serpent. This comparison is set down merely because it was submitted to the writer by men deeply versed in animal and serpent lore who sought to demonstrate thereby just how much more interesting (according to their point of view) was India than the United States. "In India," said these men, "you will find conditions, particularly as regards animal life, that approximate the aboriginal. Cobras squeeze through the touched sides of houses and kill people their bedrooms, or wriggle up drain pipes and strike their death blows while the victim is washing his hands, just as they always have done, while tigers leap in villages and carry away the brightest animals most toothsome with the same impunity as in ages gone. So you see it is an intensely attractive country for us." The annual death rate from snake bites in India is from 13,000 to 20,000. This represents a greater mortality than results from the epidemics of some deadly diseases there. The British government, duly aroused to the fact, now offers a bounty for the head of every cobra, in fact, of any deadly poisonous snake, of which there are forty species on the Indian continent. A dead tiger naturally has an intrinsic value of its own, and as a result there are no incentive offered to stimulate offense, holding toward their annihilation, even from considerations of self-preservation. At the last compilation tigers averaged an annual killing of 180 adults, while the man-eaters and the wolves between them made away with any number of children. There are tigers—and tigers. In fact there are three different sorts of tigers INDLA INDIAN COBRA CHARMER as regards habits. First there is the game-killer, a powerful, husky beast, as cunning as a fox, as lithic as a steel rod, and with teeth and claws that rip and cut like buzzzaws. Then there is the cottle-killer. He is a beast who has grown a trifle lazy. In the course of his experience he has found that a kollock may be killed with a great deal of skill, that it does other sort of game, and he has also discovered that the flesh is just as good if not better. He begins with a calf, and finding that easy to kill, he works up through the various stages until he learns that the largest bullock or ox that walks is very easy prey. A tiger who becomes a "cattle-lifter" has started on the downward path. He does not know this, of course, but he has, nevertheless—he is on the sure road to the man-eating trade, and that in the end means degeneracy and certain casts. The top is easy. The "cattle-lifter"; provaling about the herder, suddenly casts eyes upon the herder, a little brown man, who does not impress the tiger with a sense of respect. This froglike being seems much easier than a bullock to the tiger, and, moreover, the herder is of such a size as to warrant his being carried away to the lair before eating. This is exactly the way a tiger about to become a man-eater reasons, according to W.T. Hornaday, curator of the Bronx Zoo, to much of this information. Tiger, all males, said Mr. Hornaday, reason just the same as human beings—the mental workings do not differ in kind, only in degree. Well, reasoning this, the tiger makes his spring, and finds the herder about the easiest thing that he has ever tackled. Knocking the herder down with one blow of his paw, he seizes him in his jaws, sinking his teeth into the chest on a level with the armpit. Then he trots away with him, as a fox would trot away with a chicken. Mr. Horaday is a large man himself, with a good hefty chest, but he says that a tiger would crunch his jaws upon his Defective Page chest and walk away with him for a mile or two as easy as not. "Once," said Mr. Hornaday, "a gang of men were building a railway through the jungle along the Malay Peninsula. They worked inside a stockade seven feet high to protect them from tigers. While they were digging away at broad midday a great tiger suddenly leaped the stockade, grabbed a man, and before a move could be made, leaped over the stockade again and made off with his prey. I know that this glory is true," continued Mr. Hornaday, "for I got it while I was in India hunting tigers, from a scientist whose word is absurd. This will give you an idea of the strength and agility of the man-eater." Once a man-eater, always a man-eater. A man-eating虎 is almost invariably an old tiger whose teeth and claws are blunted and who feels his pristine age departing. Even cattle-killing tigers him, and as has been, he tells his husbands a man, and then coeroward he has rather easy time of it until he is killed, as he always is, sooner or later. As time goes on he degenerates terribly, according to animal men. He grows lean, his blood turns bad, and he is so mangy that his pet is worthless from a commercial point of view. But the killing of a man-eater is no easy task, for the reason that he never kills (wice in the same village). Instinct has taught him that after he has made a killing in a village it is much more conducive to his health and longevity to move on to another village. And he does. The average range of a man-eater is twenty miles, and as all of his range lies in the jungle, it is no easy matter to hunt him out. Yet he always is hunted out in time. For the advent of a man-killer in a village is a wonderfully exciting event, and every village who has a gun is in arms, while those who have not constitute themselves into a corps of beaters, rushing through the jungle, shouting and ringing bells and frightening the beast out of cover. AN COBRA CHARME Mr. Hornaday said also that tigers do not eat or kill men just for the love of the killing. They have no more animosity against man than they have against any other animal, and when they do kill a man they do so only because they are hungry. He said, though, that they are liable to kill a man against their morrow's meal, even though they have just eat, all of which argues that you must not stop to ask a tiger whether he has dined or not, should you meet him in the jungle. The deaths resulting from man-eating tigers as compared to those resulting from snakes as like, comparing the mortality from measles and from pneumonia. Polsonous snakes literally swarm in India; they are almost as bad as mosquitoes in Staten Island. Cobras live in dooryards, in cellars, in gardens and sometimes you will and a score in a field. Natives walking about in their bare legs are killed day after day, year in and year out. Perhaps the mortality would not be so great were the natives not fatalists, but they are, and, in many cases, they argue that if their days are numbered they die whatever they do, and if their days are not numbered, then their lives will surely be saved in the present instance, and all efforts looking to that end will be wasted. And so, being bitted, the majority of them do not bother at it for four or five hours, when perhaps the pain will drive them to a village house. Of course, it is then too late. Perhaps it was too late in the beginning, but the British government has lately adopted an antitoxin which is said sometimes to result beneficially when a cobra victim is treated in time. The poison of a cobra attacks the nerves, the American viper attacks the blood, and there is little to choose, albeit R. W. Ditmars, the snake curator at Bronx Park, told the writer that despite the fact that the cobra is popularly believed to be the most polson- ous serpent in the world, he would rather be bitten by that species than by a rattler. In any event, he said, the proper thing to do, being bitten, is to cut the wound out with a penknife, and then tie a tourniquet above the wound and run for a doctor. Despite its reputation, the cobra has a rival snake in India that takes almost as many lives as the hooded reptile. This is Russel's viper, the most venomously, viciously marked snake in the world, whose habits and the deadness suggested by the skin make the snake in India which also swells the mortality tables, the sea viper. This snake, as the name suggests, lives in the salt water, and makes a great speciality of nipping the legs of bathers. As a rule, the bathers never live very long after reaching shore. While talking to Mr. Dittmars the writer saw a fierce battle between four hooded cobras. They struck at and bit one another repeatedly, but they did not seem to mind, and in fact there was no reason why they should. They are immune from the poison of their own species. Mr. Dittmars gave as the reason for the deaths of deaths from poison snakes in the waters, which of course abounds with them, that they live in out of the way place where man does not usually go, and that as a rule American snakes are retiring and will flee, provided they are not stepped upon or forced into a corner—New York Times. One Thing That Troubled him Rev. W. L. Hood of Bristol, R. L. counsel on discussion that centently with the statement that his two children, both under ten years, had never sinned. A Bristol churchman, in commenting on Mr. Hood's claim, said the other day with a humorous smile: "Those two children must have conscientious ear as the conscience of an old colored man down one of our back streets." "The old man—Romulus by name— took sick one day and in a little while it looked as if his end was near. The minister was sent for and came promptly—a stout man, done up in one of these religious waistcoats without any buttons down the front or any opening at the neck. "The minister said to Uncle Romu-lus: "Is your mind at ease, brother? "Yes, sah," answered the old man. "Are you sure there's nothing troubling you?" the minister, went on. "Are there is speak up. Don't be afraid. I am here to help and comfort you." "Dey is one fing, jes' one, sah, said Romulus 'o' dart plexes me." "What is 'his' life brother?" the minister murmured. "Ah kahn' fo' de l'ife o' me, make out, sah,' said the old man, how yoj gits yo'e' inter dart dere vest." Historic Tree Near Baltimore.

Special Correspondence THE APPEAL Washington, Dec. 6. — The Fifty-ninth Congress opened Monday, promptly at noon, Vice President Fairbanks called the Senate to order. At 12:20 the Senate adjourned as a mark of respect to the late Senator Platt of Connecticut. Exactly at noon Major General McDowell, clerk of the House, called the Senate to order. At the conclusion of the roll call in the house Clerk McDowell announced 264 members present, a quorum. Speaker Cannon was placed in nomination for speaker by Mr. Hepburn of Iowa, and the first aplause of the session followed. Mr. Hepburn of Mississippi was nominated in behalf of the minority by Mr. Henry of Texas, provoking democratic aplause. Neither made nominating speeches and the roll call for election of speaker at once proceeded. Mr. Cannon was re-elected. The first bill filed for introduction into the Fifty-ninth Congress was a measure of the Maupin representation Howard M. Sapp of Louisiana providing for the establishment of government postal savings banks, places of deposit to be established in every money-order office in the country. The President has appointed Franklin Lane of San Francisco to be a member of the Inter-State Commission, vice former Governor Fifer of Illinois resigned. Bernard R. Green, who has been engaged on the construction of public buildings in Washington for a quarter of a century, who built the congressional library, has prepared a plan and location for a central station, to be located on the south side of Pennsylvania avenue, east of the new municipal building, to furnish heat, light and power to the White House, the executive departments and all other government buildings, except those on Capitol Hill. It is said that the President intends to appoint Third Assistant Secretary of State Herbert H. D. Peirce to the post of Minister to the new independent Kingdom of Norway. Col.

Harris, of Dinwiddie County, Virginia, United States internal revenue deputy collector, at a salary of $1,400 per annum, with an office in Richmond, and one of the most prominent acquitted today upon trial in the mayor's court, charged with the larceny of two bales of cotton, one of the value of $52 and the other of the value of $42.18, the property of Arrington & Creevy, the city attorney charged with the value of $42.18, J. C. Robinson, a commission merchant here, that being the sum for which one of the bales of cotton was sold, the money for which was collected by William Daly, an Afro-American who was acquitted of the charges alleges he gave the money to Harris. Considerable testimony was presented, and the court was engaged in the examination for nearly five hours. Harris, on being called to the witness stand, indignantly denied the charges that had been preferred against him, and nothing about the alleged stolen cotton or the larceny of any money. The first intimation he had of the matter, he said, was a telephone message while at his office in Richmond from Chief of Police Ragland, of Petersburg, where he received message he came to Petersburg and went to the police station and saw Chief Ragland, and he was subsequently released on ball. Harris was represented by Bernard Mann. The interest in the case was received by Commissioner Richard H. Mann. The mayor, after fully considering the charges against Harris, discharged him from custody. An index to the business of the session was the industry of members in introducing bills. As many as 100 public bills had been placed in the Senate, and as many as 100 clock Monday, these measures of legislation affecting the general government. The California delegation in the Senate and House held a meeting Tuesday and agreed on a bill for the exclusion from the United States of Japan, Korea and Koreans. The bill will be introduced in the House by Representative McKinley, a newly elected member of the Senate, and an assistant United States district attorney in San Francisco, charged with $2.40 PER YEAR.

During the last year more than 8,000 Japanese came to this country from the Hawaiian islands. Members of the delegation say the rapid influx of Japanese is regarded as a menace to American labor. The following bills have been prepared by Illinois members for introduction in the house: Snapp, for the posting postal savings banks in all money-order post offices.

The caucus of the republican senators which was held immediately after the adjournment of the senate today had its work already defined. Its most important function was to authorize the appointment of a steering committee and following the usual custom the present members are to be re-elected. The committees now count as Senator Hillench, Chairman Hale, Aldrich, Cullom, Lodge, Perkins, Clark of Wyoming, Gikus, Sponer, Kean, and Beveridge. Representative Charles S. Wharton, who was a prominent figure at the opening of the fifty-ninth congress, is 27 years old. He formerly was an employee in the county building in Chicago into congress, the landside which buried Congressman Poster and his political ambitions. The youthful congressman's first appearance on the floor of the house created a furor of laughter, but it was good-natured laughter and established an entente cordiale between the parties. Mr. Wharton arose from his seat unknown, asked a question, and was down famous. Today all Washington and a good part of the country are talking about him. The reports sent from Guanajuato, Mexico, that Daniel M. Jackson of Chicago recently appointed U. S. Consular Agent at that place, had received a hot reception when he arrived with his post is lies out of whole cloth. As a matter of fact Jackson did not go to Mexico but came to Washington this week to take up his case with the State Department. According to the annual report of Hon. John W. Yerkes, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, of the sixty-six U.S. consular posts in the territories of the United States subject to internal revenue laws, the fifth district of Illinois reported the largest collections, $34,691,666.

Henceforth the members of the Supreme Court of the United States have made part of the assurance of the prayers of Bishop Turner and must shamble along the road to the Celestial City as best they can, without that valuable assistance. This we must regard as a calamity or cataysm or something of the kind, for as the prayers of the righteous man, no non-official station, availeth it, if a false inference that those of a bishop guildeth "mucher," say 50 per cent. Now it is a demonstrated fact that the Bishop's influence has in some instances been a noticeable factor in political results for Hon. Hoxx Smith, the former governor of Cleveland's cabinet, availed himself of Bishop Turner's endorsement and repaid the service by appointing the Bishop's sons to positions of profit and trust. This political move was followed by the Bishop's strong "holl" is on the spiritual, which makes the outlook for the Supreme Court still more gloomy. Bishop Turner is a man of peculiar temperament, without a particle of flunkiness in his nature, fearless and brave.

Not that THE APPEAL favors lynching in general; on the contrary it regards it with extreme objection; but when a threat the trouble to construct an elaborate defense of the infernal custom and to promulgate it over the civilized world, it certainly seems meet and proper for him to be made a sharer of its goodness when a proper occasion arises. Robert A. Quoted "Berlin many, many." If the facts are correctly stated in the newspapers, such an occasion certainly arose in Jeff's case. It is said that he, surreptitiously, obtained possession of a letter written by Congress, and that he used it as political capital in a speech. Thereupon, Mr. Dinsmore called upon Jeff at his hotel and demanded the letter, and was told by Jeff that it was at his office in Little Rock. Dinsmore was sent to the office, and ensured, during the progress of which Dinsmore struck Jeff with his fist and Jeff broke his goldheaded cane over Dinsmore's head. Jeff then attempted to pummel Dinsmore with the butt, and Jeff broke his pistol and smashed Jeff on the gob. Jeff squallled for help and finally fled from the battle field. It was not a real genuine lynching, but a very good imitation and defensible upon the very same grounds so admirably stated in Jeff's famous defense of lynching. AMERICANS GET THE SCRAPS In a recent address, the Chinese Minister, Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, referred to the American policy to China as follows: "There are active competitors already in the field, and Americans have to take their chances with the rest. In this competition the people of Europe have resorted to all available resources to take their interests. They receive all Chinese students who come to enter their schools and universities; they encourage Chinese merchants who come to visit their countries; they treat Chinese travelers with friendly consideration. But it has seemed good to the United States to adopt a different policy, with the result that all Chinese of the desirable class have for years past endearedly to the American shores as much as possible. "The consequence is that every Chinese who has been to Europe becomes on his return to China an ardent admirer of European methods and European institutions, while every Chinese who has been to the United States has told the tale to tell on his return of American inhospitality. I mention this merely as a matter of fact not in criticism of the governmental policy of the United States, but just to show how Europe wins an advance agent, where America turns away a possible customer, the simple fact is that the U.S. industry is predisuade of the U.S. American is directly opposed to the principles and policy of every civilized nation upon the face of the earth. It is equally opposed to Christianity and political economy. It compels our Nation, while more liberal and sensible people are guests at the banquet, to creep under the table and fasten upon the scraps. IMMIGRATION TO THE SOUTH. Office Third Vice President L. & N. Railroad, Louisville, KV-Col. J. M. H. HON. LESLIE M. SHAW, Secretary of the United States Treasury Robert Gates, Industrial and Immigration Agent for Tennessee—Dear Sir: Quoted below is translation of a special telegram sent from New York to the "Beringer Tagbellatt." of Berlin, Germany, and published by that newspaper. "New York, December 2, 1905," (Private Cablegram).—The emigration broke the record last year with 1,027,421 persons. Austria-Hungary has the largest number, then follows Italy, Russia, Great Britain, and Scandinavia. The Morgen Journal' warns the Germans to emigrate to the Southern States, as they are forced to work by revolvers and are treated worse than slaves." Perhaps it has never occurred to the Southern brethren that the lies they send out of the perils of white women in the South are under from Afro-American ravishers have something to do with restricting immigration to the South. From Dixon's "Clansman" is taking advantage of escaping people away from the South. Will the Southern brethren never learn? Prof. N. C. Dougherty former superintendent of the public schools of Peoria, Ill., and president of the First National Bank of that city is now busily engaged in sorting "green stock" of broom corn in the Joliet pententery. Prof. N. C. Dougherty made as big a bing out of a being school official as the famous New York boodlers made out of being officers of an insurance corporation; his stealing approximating a half million of dollars. Dougherty was rated for many years as one of the great educators of the country and was once president of the school board. He seems that among his various crooked methods was that of carrying on the payroll rols, of teachers who never had any existence and putting the salaries the fictious pedagogues were supposed to receive into his own pockets. His associates were dummy dancers. He also one Dougherty got his work in and the city was $500,000 out. It is considered the bounden duty of every true American to cackle over our republican government and to laud it as the best in existence. It is true government in form, but an outrageous misuse of them is such in reality. They are the worst of despotisms. The following news from Louisville, Ky., proves this assertion: Louisville, Ky. Dec. 2—Forty suits contending the recent election, city and county official in Louisville and Jefferson County were filed in the Circuit Court to-day. The principal suit is of Joseph T. O'Neill, the fusion candidate for mayor, vs. Paul C. Barth. Democrat, who has just been charged of conspiracy, illegal registration, force, and intimidation are made. If these charges are true, no worse condition of things exists in Russia or Turkey, if really as bad. The Kenny Rockiesacks, like their brethren in the American conspiracy at the muzzle of the revolver; and, if really as bad, the Circuit Court took an active part. Under the conditions the only remedy is to shoot. Former Ambassador Choate defines a political boss as "a creature without curse or conscience, who fills his capacious maw with graft; who feeds his followers upon political garbage, gathered from the official flieshots and hails." Mr. Choate must have had Gorman of Maryland in his mind's eye. [Illustration of a man in a suit with a tie and a mustache.] --- GOSSIP FROM GOTHAM Sketches and Anecdotes Gathered In by Our Special Correspondent Those who had any idea that J. Pierpont Morgan was preparing for a with-drawal from large hairs because he happened to spend so much time abroad this summer were undeceived when observed during the week that he arrived at his office every morning at II. O'Clock, and rarely in the office 4 in the office. transmuting canvases into coin at the rate of 75,000 a year. Newspaper articles average from $20 to $60 a week though some of them find $100 or more in their envelopes every seven days. One cartoonist enjoys an income of $75,000 a year and two or three other pocket from $12,000 to $20,000 a year. Architects vary as much as artists and physicians in the matter of incomes. New York has several architects whose annual incomes are fortunes in themselves, reaching occasionally such figures as $125,000, $150,000 and $200,000. But they are as rare as snowflakes. drawal from large chairs because he happened to spend so much time abroad this summer were under戴ed when they observed damage the week that he arrived at his office every morning at 11 o'clock, and rarely left it before 4 in the afternoon. Mr. Morgan is a very vigorous man. He walks with a sure, swift step, opens his carriage door with a sharp twist of his powerful wrist and closes it with a bang. When he leaves his office in Broad street he goes directly to his Madison avenue home. Here he spends his evenings with a few favorite friends. He is rarely seen at the clubs. Hair and Hats. There is a respectable and perfectly normal physician living here named Dr. J. Conger Bryan, who says that the human race is destined to baldness unless the practice of wearing stiff felt hats is abandoned. He himself wears a straw hat all the year around, to provide a luxurious mat of thatch to prove the straw hat is a hair grower. Dr. Bryan believes his remedy for baldness should be the year around. When the mercury drops down around the zero mark Dr. Bryan promises to make Fifth avenue and Broadway sit up and take notice of him this winter. Even now he attracts attention from the derby-hatted populace as 'he strolls along the streets. Tailor-Made Kings Vanish. One reason why so little is heard of swell dressers these days is that there are too many of them. New York, instead of having a "King of Dudes," as in the old days, now has a "king-ing." There are 500 men in New York who dress as well to-day as E. Berry Wail 11. Reginald Ronalds, Sito Ona family of them. New York, instead of having a "King of Dudes," as in the old days, now has a "kingdom" of dudes. There are 50,000 men in New York who dress as well to-day as E. Berry Wall, Reginald Ronalds, Sito Onatvia, Fred Gebkard, Harry Lehr and the dozen others whose names have from time to time been identified with what he ultra in clothes. No longer does he have many hundreds of trousers give a man any distinction over his fellows. The paying of $15,000 a year for clothes has become too common for that. Joining the Horned Unicorn. That old prejudice against women who adopt the stage for a livelihood seems to be rapidly disappearing despite the fact that whenever a millionaire marries an ex-chorus girl there is heap big talk about it in the papers. The niece of ex-President McKinley and the niece of President Roosevelt are on the stage. The daughters of three governors are engaged to play in New York this season, and there are any number of society girls with rich papas who have not "accepted," but begged for places on stage. There are many papas who stand to win a million when their papas die and who each receive a peacrean check for a hundred every week while they are performing for forty a week in the famous old music hall at Broadway and Twenty-ninth street. Josef Hoffmann, who has just married Mrs. George Eustis, made her acquaintance when, at the close of his season, he went for a stay at Hempstead. where he met the women on the Island set, and his engagement followed. He is not the first foreign pianist to marry a quaintance when, at the close of his season, he went for a stay at Hempstead. There he met the woman of the Long Island set and his engagement followed. He is not the first foreign pianist to marry New York woman of position. The late Franz Rummel met and married here Miss Morse, a daughter of the inventor of the telegraph. Richard Hoffman, who came here from England to tour with Jenny Lind, married a daughter of the Lamson family, and only last winter Ernest Schilling was married to Miss Draper. No other musicians have broken into families of wealth and position so readily as the pianists. Artists and Their Pay. While New York is hiding hundreds of artists who have make only a living or less every year it is also the setting for other brilliant successes who are Jack's All Along the Line. At a church fair held in Jersey City last week the entertainment committee devised a prize contest to determine which family of girls in the congregation had the largest representation of marriages (originally only, duplicates not being counted) where the husband bore the same Christian name. The winners in this unique competition were five sisters, who wedded Johns, all of whom, with their wives, were present when the award was made. It happened that the only brother of the quintet of Mrs. Johns is also John, and that his son is likewise "Johnny." It further transpired that the father of the successful candidates was named John, and the paternal grandfathers for many generations were christened similarly. The Feather Bed. The old fashioned feather bed, such as is still encountered in the rural districts, had about gone out of fashion even before its insanitary features were pointed out. Now it is said by transmuting canvases into coin at the rate of $75,000 a year. Newspaper artists average from $20 to $60 a week, some of them find $100 or more in their envelopes every seven days. One cartoonist enjoys an income of $75,000 a year and two or three others pocket from $12,000 to $20,000 a year. Architects vary as much as artists and physicians in the matter of incomes. New York has several architects whose annual incomes are fortunes in themselves, reaching occasionally such heavenly figures as $125,000, $150,000 and $200,000. They are as rare as snowflakes in July. Consider paying the average draughtsman and exporter signer in the large offices, together with the revenues derived by country architects, the general average is about $1,500 a year. While the mining and civil engineers go the architect about $500 a year better, they are often idle from the nature of their work. On Graft de Luxe Old Bill Brockway, the distinguished counterfeiter, is much displeased that an imputation has been cast upon his honesty by the police of this city. Mr. Brockway has made many excelent banknotes of $10, $20 and $50 bills, and during his 35 years of activity he has cashed something like $300,000 worth of these splendid engravings. He figures that they cost him about 9 per cent of the sale price. Why says Bill, "there are made many excellent imitations of $10, $20 and $50 bills, and during his 35 years of activity he has cashed something like $300,000 worth of these splendid engravings. He figures that they cost him about 9 per cent cost price. "Why," says Bill, "there are a lot of grafters here working under the law who do not give half that value for their product. Take the de luxe editions, for example. The publishers of these books never put in over 10 per cent on the dollar, and yet a lot of suckers are still buying them at a 90 per cent advantage on the cost price." If I had my life to live over said" (Bill is 80) "would go into the de luxe editions and quit this vulgar counterfeiting business." As to men's Hats There will be no great departure in the style of men's hats this fall. The the style of men's derby will be all but universal, and so little change can be observed that one might al- most take out his last year's hat and wear it without being caught. The brim will be thin and finely curled, the binding will be a bit narrower and of the best texture, and the band but universal, and so change can be observed that one might almost take out his last year's hat and wear it without being caught. The brim will be thin and, finely curled, the binding will be a bit narrower and the best texture, and the band will not be deep. In the general architecture that he will suggest nattness. Soft hats of all the dark colors will be worn to some extent, but those ridiculous, diffusive, girly-boy titles with the variegated ribbon and bike track crowns are getting the goyby from dealers who lay claim to taste. Preferred to Sleep. The business office of a big Park row newspaper recently received a package containing a pocketbook. There was $1,100 in it and it had been advertised for. The anonymous sender explained that he had held on to his prize for ten days and then concluded the money would not do him any good, since he had spent five sleepless nights over it. Electric Anti-Fat Treatment A prominent society woman has unconsciously hit upon the best remedy for the treatment of obesity. Instead of following any one system she follows the best features of them all. She takes long walks, many coff and hot baths, massage, etc., and she spends six hours a night. She keeps her mind active by reading and talking, and thus for the treatment of obesity. Instead of following any one system she follows the best features of them all. She takes long walks, many long walks, many baths, massage, etc., and sleeps an hour a night. She keeps her mind active by reading and talking and thus fights off the disposition to just lie around and grow fat. She eats fish and vegetables rather, than meats, pastries and other fat producers, and has so far trained the muscles of her back, legs and arms that she can reach the floor with her finger tips without bending her knees. This is the only certain and infallible sign that the abdomen is not too large. dealers to be coming in again, and, curiously enough, it comes with a claim to attention which appears to be backed up by the medical profession. A Chicago doctor says that for people who wake up with little aches and pains from sleeping in strained positions a pillow at the back or whatever it will relieve the strain is a good thing, but an old fashioned feather bed which can be molded to the form in any way will better. "Besides" adds this doctor, the feather bed produces warmth with lighter than anything else, and it's the kind of warmth which is not dissipated by drafts of cool air whenever the cover is lifted." He Knew the Rum Was Good. There was once a character in Charlestown, N. H., named Elisha Fling. On one occasion, as he was descending a hill to his home with a jug of New England rum, his gait was unsteady, the gug slipped from him and pulled down the hill, the contents gurgling, and he said: "Goo-goo good; I know yer good, but I can't get yer."

Court against the fourteen railrams entering the salmon Depot at the Depot on April 1904. Miss Senter had been visiting friends in the city and was at the depot about to leave for her home in Chicago. She went to the ticket office and asked a man, Jack Rose, if there was a bureau of information. He answered that she had been peated the question three times when she deliberately walked to the ticket window and hurled a bottle of ink at her which struck the window grating smashing into a thousand pieces and bespattering her face and clothing terribly. She was depot and the next they heard from her, she had sued for $5,000. She was not allowed to leave the city having been placed under $500 bond to appear and was compelled to remain in Memphis for two years. The case was dismissed and the dict was rendered in her favor, but not for the amount sued, for though she is very well satisfied with the cash she received considering the locality in which the case was tried.

PAUL Irvington MIDL & SYE FOOD HUNTER TELL 3 OF DEATH OF QUEEN OF JUNGLE. Driven by Beaters Toward Spot Where Hunters Were Concealed Tigress Is Easily Disposed Of Without Risk. Hugh S. Gladstone tells how he shot an Indian tiger: "We walked for about a mile, along an ill-defined track through thickish jungle. Arrived at a spot where the jungle is rather clearer, we were shown our machans, or seats, tied up at a safe height in the trees. In this case, charpools, or native beds, on which we sat cross-legged, or wicker stools, had been securely lashed by all four corners in trees about thirty feet high and about fifty yards one from the other. I had drawn the lucky number—one. Long bamboo ladders, had been brought and with the help of these we climbed up into our machans. Mine was tied about twenty feet from the ground, where, with the slightest breeze and my additional weight, it swayed most alarmingly. The heat, beating down through the bare branches of the trees, was terrific. The first excitement was caused by a mob of monkeys, which came from behind, leaping and bounding over trees and through bushes at the most astonishing speed. All around one could hear doves and pigeons cooing; otherwise the jungle seemed peacefully tranquil. "All of a sudden we heard, about half a mile in front of us, the signal shot fired for the beat to begin. Instantly there was an uproar. Every beater shouted, and many of them had gongs, antiquated firearms (some of them seven feet long) or large rattles. These they beat, fired or whirled with a will, which made the jungle a perfect pandemonium. Excitement ran high and every ear was strained to catch the first snapping of a twig or to hear the footfall of the tiger or the crackling leaves. One of the coolies, flanking in a tree on my right, suddenly caught my eye. He was clapping his hands gently and throwing pieces of stick into the undergrowth below him. As he pointed I could hear a rustling and almost directly after came a double roar. The noise in the distance grew closer and louder and in a few seconds there emerged on to the path we had come down a tigress. "For a moment she stood about 100 yards off, looking back toward the east, lashing her tail, and then proceeded to walk down the path toward me, quite slowly and very quietly. She was hid from me by a thick lot of jungle, but turning to my right she left the path to go between me and the nullah. When she was broadside to me between two thick bushes I fired with my .450. So far as I could see she did not flinch and I snapped at her again as she passed behind the second bush. I thought she staggered as I last caught sight of her, and a few seconds later I felt sure I heard a tell-tale gurgling in her throat. "Then the beaters came on, and we all climbed down from our manchs and examined the ground where I had fired. Not a trace of blood could be found and I began to fear I had missed badly. We formed a little party and went very cautiously into the jungle, coolies being sent up repeatedly into trees to spy. Suddenly one of these called out that he saw the digress lying dead and we all ran forward to find her, shot through the lungs." Tackled the Wrong Party. During the National Civic Federation's convention in New York Samuel Gompers, apropos of a mistake, said: "It might have ben embarrassing—as embarrassing as the position of a young man of Toledo whom I heard about the other day. "He had been calling now and then on a young Toledo lady, and one night as he sat in the parlor waiting for her to come down her mother entered the room instead and asked him in a grave, stern way what his intentions were. "He turned very red and was about to stammer some incoherent reply when suddenly the young lady called down from the head of the stairs: Clost ter fiels of cotton I hear de engine scream, En I looks cross de fleecy furrer ez folks looks in a dream. De carwheels drowns de music er de ol' plantation song, En I sez, ez dey rush en rattles: "De worl is gwine along!" Dar's something what sorter gits me—what pears ter be sayin' plain: "You in de way, ol' man, ter-day—make room fer de scream in train!" Hit's flyin' on ter de city, by medders en flowerin vines— De city what throws its shadder on de cabin in de plines! 'Pears lak' de worl done let' me—feeble en ol' en gray; I only pears ter be livin' in a country fur away. I knows de path ter de ol' home whar de flowers love ter grow. But somehow de light aroun' it ain't de light er de long ago. —Atlanta Constitution. Saw Motor Plunge in River. Saw Motor Plunge in River.
