SING SING CALLED A TORTURE HOUSE Medieval Barbarities Tame by Comparison. MEN CRIPPLED FOR LIFE. Governor's Investigator Asserta That Cells Drip With Moisture and Are Infested With Vermin—Morals the Worst Feature—Graft and Waste Alleged—Colonel Scott Flayed. Albany.—"Stories of torture of prisoners in the middle ages sound like descriptions of luxuries in comparison to the tales that have been told me of the lives that some of the prisoners in Sing Sing live." This indictment of New York state's oldest penal institution is embodied in the report made by George W. Blake of New York, a special commissioner appointed by Governor Suzer to investigate prison affairs. The worst feature—that dealing with the morals of the convicts—Mr. Blake says cannot be discussed in a public document, but should be called to the immediate attention of those competent to deal with the situation. The investigator describes conditions as "frightful." The prison cells, he says, are dark, small, damp, filthy and infested with vermin. In them men contract rheumatism and go out crippled for life. Into none of the cells on the lower tiers has a ray of sunshine entered eighty years. The report opens with a bitter attack on Kennedy and on Colonel Joseph F. Scott, who was removed as superintendent of state prisons by Governor Suzer after he had refused to appoint Charles F. Rattigan warden of Photo by American Press Association. Auburn prison. Colonel Scott was superintendent of prisons after a successful administration, covering more than ten years, of the affairs of the Elmira reformatory. He was considered one of the foremost pennologists in the country. President Taft summoned Colonel Scott to Washington to preside over the international conference on prison reform held there two years ago. Mr. Blake in his report assails Colonel Scott bitterly and falsely that he has done nothing to earn his reputation. Mr. Blake asserts that because of influence exerted by men well known in various walks of life money has been wrong from persons seeking clemency for prisoners, but in some cases the favors bought were "not delivered." The commissioner of the accounting to Mr. Blake, "is run along incompetent if not dishonest lines. There is criminal carelessness if not downright grafting. Sign that this is the case stick out as plenifully as quills on the back of a frightened corpuline." John S. Kennedy, warden of Sing Sing, is charged by Mr. Blake with having violated the law. "He has permitted the creation and continuance of unbusinesslike methods," says the report, "and has caused the state to lose thousands of dollars in a way that points directly to graft. He has made no attempt to protect the inmates from disease and vice nor any effort to produce better conditions in this prison." Mr. Blake says he was told stories, amply corroborated, of such frightful character as to appeal to the most unfeeling person. The cells on the ground floor, he says, drip with moisture, so that the inmates in many cases have become victims of chronic rheumatism. Many pages of the report are devoted to a criticism of the industrial department of the prison. Mr. Blake says that there has been a constant decrease in the profits, which have dropped from 400,000 in the first six months of 1010 to 830,052 in the first six months of 1012. In the course of his investigation of the commissary department of the prison Mr. Blake says that, according to the records, 469 pounds of beef went to Warden Kennedy's table during the month of March. Commenting generally on the conduct of this department of the prison, Mr. Blake says he found enormous waste, while the prisoners, as a rule, were underfed. AGED VETERAN A WOMAN. Soldiers' Home Inmate Posed Fifty Years as a Man. Quincy, Ill.-The sex of Albert D. J. Cashier, civil war veteran, and an inmate of the Soldiers and Sailors' home here, has just been revealed by Colonel J. O. Anderson, superintendent of the home, to be feminine. The woman, whose real name will probably never be known, served three years in the Union army during the civil war. She was mustered out of service in 1805 and a few years later was sold to the government pension roll. She was sent home two years ago, and at that time her sex was known only to Colonel Anderson, who promised not to reveal her secret. A short time ago she was adjudged insane, and as a result she was committed to the state hospital. Revelation of her sex was made two years ago in Livingston county, Ill., where she was employed by ex-Senior I. M. Lish as chauffeur. It is said by the ex-Senator that one day his machine would not run and the chauffeur was tampering with the machine. While she engine started suddenly, and the wheels of the car passed, over her, breaking her right leg. When the chauffeur was taken to a hospital it was discovered that she was a woman. TO TRY FLIGHT TO ENGLAND. Aero Yacht to Start by July 1, Says Boston Official. Savannah, Ga. A-Batson nero yatch will start by July 1 for a flight across the Atlantic ocean, according to the statement made here by a representative of the company. It is the purpose of the Batson interests to fly from Savannah to New York with a letter from Mayor Richard J. Davant to Mayor William J. Gaynor. Then the trip will be extended to Washington, where, with a letter from President Wilson to King George, the start on the transatlantic flight will be obtained. Captain M. A. Batson, U. S. A., rested, is the inventor and designer of the new air craft. His officers express confidence of winning the prize of $50,000 offered by Lord Northtrille through the London Daily Mail for the first transatlantic flight. SCIENTISTS NEARING LIFE'S BORDERLAND Baltimore.-Recent investigations in the laboratories of the Johns Hopkins Medical school seem to indicate a state intermediate between life and death, since life in many organisms may be suspended by freezing in liquid air and by other processes and then may be resuscitated. The lowest plant organisms, have enormous powers of resisting death. Bacteria of various diseases are seen in the laboratory frozen in liquid air at a temperature of 360 degrees F. There are instances of frogs, rats, snails and fish being suspended by this freezing process, yet on being "thawed out" after several weeks they revive. These animals are perfectly normal when placed in a refrigerating forilled with liquid air at a certain temperature. After a short time the animals appear lifeless. A month later they are removed and on being massaged show signs of life, often reviving completely. Recently successful efforts were made in the medical school to revive the apparently dead heart of an animal. As explained by Dr. Alexis Carrel, who recently lectured before the student body here, in about five cases out of ten the heart of a chicken took up energy several hours after death. Immediately after death the heart was frozen and preserved. A few hours later it was resuscitated by massage. TELEPHONE BREEDS INSANITY German Alienist Says "Central!" Drives Men to Madness. Berlin.-Remarkable evidence as to the effect of the telephone upon the minds of people using it was given in a trial here. Dr. Strauch, a commissioner in lunacy, said that even philomatic men might have their mental balance upset by exasperation at getting no reply from "central." He mentioned the case of one of his own patients, a well known doctor, who became completely insane through telephone exasperation. Another witness, asserted that he could bring evidence to show that government telephone girls had been permitted by the inspectors to utilize one of the big exchanges for the reception of their fiances. One amusement of the girls of this exchange was to look up all subcribers having the same name, to connect all of them, ring them all up and laugh loudly at the result. Tacoma Birds Night Singera. Tacoma, Wash.-Mrs. Clara Gillespie of 4139 Yakima avenue reports that Tacoma has birds that sing in the night. "We have an orchard of singing birds," said Mrs. Gillespie. "They warble and trill very prettily, although I have never been able to see one." THE APPEAL. NAVY NEEDS MORE CADETS Unless Statute is Renewed Annapolis Will Have but 533 Students in 1917 and Cost of Graduates Will Increase, Says Secretary—To Revise Curriculum For First Year. Annapolis, Md.-Secretary of the Navy Daniels announced that he would seek to have congress extend the provisions of the law of 196; authorizing the appointment of two midshipmen to the Naval academy every four years by each senator, representative and delegate in congress. This law expires this year, and unless it is extended the appointments to the academy will be held within four years the number of midshipmen will be reduced from 1,089 to 533. "The capacity of the Naval academy," said Secretary Daniels, "is sufficient without enlargement to furnish officers for the line and staff of the 1913, by American Press Association. JOSEPHUS DANIELS, SECRETARY OF THE NAVY. navy and marine corps in adequate numbers for many years to come, but if the number of appointments be reduced the relative cost of educating each midshipman will increase, while the existing shortage in the navy will grow rapidly worse. "There is little likelihood of more graduates from the Naval academy than the government will require." Secretary Daniels has approved a recommendation of the academy board of the Naval academy that for subjects in which the only examination comes at the end of the year the term work shall count three-fourths instead of two-thirds, reducing the examination accordingly. Under this arrangement the work done during the term will hereafter count more in determining the scholastic standing than formerly. The effect of the revision of the curriculum on the first year's work has been shown by the decrease in the number of examinations at the drop-off for deficiency in studies at the annual examinations. Last year nearly 17 per cent of the fourth class were recommended to be dropped. This year only 13 per cent failed. In determining the term work the examination now counts only one-sixth in subjects in which monthly examinations are given. The recent entrance examinations also showed an increase over the usual percentage in those who qualified for admission. Out of 135 examined in the last six years, 115 passed against an average of about 61 per cent during the last six years. This increase, it is said, is not due to a difference in examination, but is due to a change in examination dates. In order to limit the amount of expenditures of midshipmen for civilian clothing and haberdashery, as well as to prevent their running in debt, an order has been issued which forbids them from making purchases directly from the stores where limited purchases from firms who send representatives to the academy. Local merchants have no objection to the order, as their payment is certain and facilities for taking orders are freely granted them. DOORWAY IN A RUDDER. Made Necessary For Work on the New Giant Cranium Acutaria Giant Cunarder Aquitania. London. The rudder has just been placed in position on the 50,000 ton Cunarder Aquitania, which will be launched at Clydebank, Glasgow, during the last week in April. The rudder is so large that a doorway was made in the lower part of it to admit workmen and enable them to work on a pin four feet long connecting the rudder with the ship.

A Special Investigation of the Effect of Radium At Bo Maude Radium to Be Made. Cambridge, Mass. - The effect of radium in the treatment of cancer is to be made the subject of a special investigation under the direction of Dr. William Duane at the Harvard medical school. For the present the experiments will be conducted in the Collis P. Huntington building, but as soon as possible a special building is to be constructed adjoining the medical school and devoted entirely to the work of radium investigation. Dr. Duane has studied in the laboratory of Mme. Curie, the discoverer of radium, and has been in touch also with the work of the Radium institute in London. The investigation is to be made under the supervision of the cancer commission of Harvard. Dr. E. E. Tyzzee, director of the commission, says that a group of investigators is being assembled to attack the problem of cancer treatment from various points of view. WILL WED ONLY THE SOUND. Montolair Pastor Will Insist on a Certificate of Good Health. theatre of Jobo Health. Montclair, N. J. - The Rev. Henry E. Jackson, pastor of the Christian Union Congregational church here, has announced he will perform no more marriages without a certificate signed by the physician of the bride to be that attended bridegroom is in perfect health. At the coming annual meeting of Unity church the members will vote on the question as to whether the pastor, Rev. Edgar S. Weir, shall perform the marriage ceremony without having first obtained from each of the contracting parties a medical certificate that they are physically sound. The eugenics movement in Montclair is attracting considerable attention, interest in the subject having been aroused by recent addresses of Dr. Henry Smith Williams, Professor H. E. Jordan of the University of Virginia, Dean Summer of Chicago and Clifford Roe, also of Chicago. SHE BEAT HER WAY ACROSS CONTINENT SHE BEAT HER WAY ACROSS CONTINENT Venice, Cal.-Miss Ethel Johnston, a beautiful young woman from Dayton, arrived here in begrimed and torn boy's costume to join her fance. Miss Johnston and J. L. Perry had been sweethearts in Dayton. The youth moved west a short time ago, the better to prep a home for his sweetheart, and was beginning to see the silver lined cloud when the flood swept down upon Dayton. Miss Johnston was making her home with her aunt in that city and suffered the loss of her only relative as well as her home. She cut her hair short, donned boy's clothing and struck out with but-a few dollars for the coast. She traveled almost the entire distance on freight trains, in empty box cars, on flat cars, brake beams and bumpers, only occasion of the speedy luggage car. Once, when she was discovered riding a brake beam, she was taken into the engine and made to stoke to earn her passage. She reached Venice almost famished, but happy. She did not stop to change her toilet, but as soon as she learned the Perry residence ran all the way there and threw herself into her fance's arms. Perry and his mother have provided the girl with feminine attire, and the couple will go to San Francisco to be married. CLARENCE DARROW "BROKE." Labor Unions Asked to Raise Fund For McNamara's Lawyer. Chicago - Clarence S. Darrow surprised the Chicago Federation of Labor at a meeting here by walking in and taking a seat. He was given a rousing reception and addressed the federation on the child labor question. That Darrow's fortune of $150,000 had been swallowed up in his two trials. A letter was read from President Charles H. Moyer of the Western Federation of Miners calling on all union labor organizations to subscribe to a fund to assist Darrow in his third trial. This move was indicted by the federation, and collections will be made. The trial is set for June 16. Uses Fire to Stop Dog Fight. Bellefortaine, O.

HUERTA ACCUSED OF HIGH TREASON H, Barron, Former Madero Agent, Forwards Document to Mexican House of Representatives From New York City Citing Grounds For Articles of Impeachment. New York—Charges of rebellion and treason, of usurpation of functions and violence against prisoners have been preferred against General Victoriano Huerta, provisional president of Mexico, by Heriberto Barron, who was commercial agent at New York for General Francisco Madero, constitutional president of Mexico, who was assassinated on the night of Feb. 22, this year, when on the way, as Huerta's prisoner, from the national palace to a prison on the outskirts of the capital. Senator Barron, formerly a member of the Mexican congress from the GENERAL VICTORIANO HUERTA. state-of Chihuahua, is now a resident of this city. His charges have been forwarded to the City of Mexico, and they will be laid before the house of representatives there. Accompanying the charges is a petition urging that General Huerta be impached and subjected to the penalty for his alleged crimes, which is death under the constitution of Mexico. There are three separate counts in Senor Barron's complaint and petition, and each count is supported by quotations from the Mexican constitution and from the code of military law. General Huerta, it is alleged, was a traitor from the time General Felix Diaz got out of prison, making no effective use whatever of his troops, finally sacrificing them in an impossible attack on the Diaz forces, after which he deprived President Madero of the loyal troops guarding the palace, substituting for them the traitorous soldiers of General Blanquet. Then, says Senator Barron, there were several secret conferences between General Huerta and the American ambassador to the American Law Wilson. One of these conferences it is averred, was on Feb. 17, the very day of the Blanquet and came out in open revolt and ordered the imprisonment and detention in the national palace of President Madero, Vice President Jose M. Pino Sunrez, several members of the cabinet, the governor of the federal district and Congressman Gustavo Madero, a brother of the president. The code of military law is quoted to show that General Huerta was guilty of rebellion and in that he withdrew from the obedience of the government, used his troops in hostility to the government and incited a revolt. The Mexican military code provides the penalty of death for any officer whose unnecessary violence against a prisoner causes the death of the prisoner. On that count Senator Barron calls for the death of Huerta because of the assassination of Madero when in Huerta's city. It is alleged that the statement which General Huerta gave to the press and public regarding the circumstances of Madero's death was deliberately false. In concluding his petition Senator Barron says: "It is shameful for Mexico that even for a few weeks there could have endured a spurious government based upon treason, usurpation and crime. Mexico forms part of the civilized world. Her social, commercial, literary and other relations with the rest of the universe oblige us to maintain before other nations a decorous attitude, because in modern times there is not a nation which can endure while delivering herself to acts of savagery horrifying to the civilized world."

He was captain of waiters at the Follies Bergere restaurant, New York city, then he came to Boston and got a job a month ago in the Copley-Plaza hotel in the Back Bay. He waited on Miss Redding at the latter hotel, and it was a case of love at first sight. The dr. Redding, it is said. often told his neighbors he would rather be wedded to a workingmen than idle society youths, he gave a gasp, its reported, when told of Miss Newy's quick match. He barely got here in time to attend the wedding, but he gave the pair a check and a blessing, Jack Redding, the bride's brother, was best man. Lamassee will manage a restaurant in an amusement park partly owned by his father-in-law at Oil City, Pa. BLIND MAN'S MEMORY FEAT. RecaHs Friend's Voice After Twenty-two years. Vancouver, Wash. - The ability of Fred Lester, recently strenuous blind, to recognize by his voice a man whom he had not heard speak for twenty-two years was demonstrated here. Having lived in the city for so many years, Mr. Lester goes about by use of a cane. His eyes look normal. The standing at Fifth and Main street between G. W. Holder, who had come to Vancouver for a short visit after being away twenty-two years. He asked Mr. Lester if the car went past a certain point, and when Mr. Lester had answered the question he added. "And. Mr. Holder, I am pleased to greet you." It was not until then that Mr. Holder recognized his friend of long ago. DUFFY BRIBERY CASE WILL COME UP NEXT Former Inspector Sweeney to Face Graft Charges. New York—District Attorney Whitman now plans to put Sergeant Peter J. Duffy on trial next. Duffy, who is alleged to have collected graft for Sweeney when he was in command of the Sixth police inspection district, is under indictment for bribery, a felony carrying a maximum penalty of fifteen years. It is the district attorney's intention to move for Duffy's trial immediately. The district attorney, after Duffy's trial, expects to put Sweeney on trial for grafting and after him the other three convict inspectors. The grand jury is soon to take up the question of graft collected in the Tenderloin by an inspector who formerly ruled there, much after the manner that Sweeney, Hussey, Murtha and Thompson ruled in Harlem. This indictment polished the police打击 at violations of the law on the part of disorderly houses, gambling houses and saloons, but he shared in the profit of all "snide" gambling games where everything was fixed for the victim to be deceased. This inspector is also said to have shared in the huge sums of money that wire tapper swindlers obtained from out of town men, and in his investigation of this inspector District Attorney Whitman has come across official documents of a highly respected whose chief sources of illegitimate revenue are the wire tappers and the fortune tellers who are permitted to evade the law. WANTS A "SANEISH" WIFE. Lonely Man Also Says She Must Be Fairly Young. Los Angeles.—"Wanted, a wife. Candidates must furnish proof that they are of sansehne origin and must be less than twenty-five years of age."

The letter was turned over to the marriage license bureau, where all candidates may apply. PRISONER'S LEG BY EXPRESS. Detective Takes Unusual Precautions to Prevent Charge's Escape. Chicago. — When Sergeant George Wilson of the Chicago detective bureau started from Portland, Ore., with George Hampton, alias T. E. York, wanted here on a charge of forgery, in his custody he took what he believed to be adequate measures to prevent his prisoner's escape. Wilson removed Hampton's wooden leg before boarding the train and shipped it to Chicago by express.

Secretary Redfield Confers With Senator Simmons of Finance Committee. Wool Rates Likely to Become Effective Nov. 1—Other Sections of Measure to Become Law Jan. 1, 1914. Washington.—The fixing of specific dates when certain features of the Underwood tariff bill shall become operative is being urged with such persistence as to presage success. It is desired to have the schedule comprising wool and manufacture articles thereof go into effect Nov. 1, leaving other sections of the measure to become a law Jan. 1, 1914. The general impression prevails that President Wilson favors this extension of time. The chief reason for such belief arises from the fact that Secretary Redfield of the commerce department recently held a long conference with Senator Simmons, chairman of the finance committee, on the proposition. Although Mr. Redfield is largely interested in manufacturing enterprises, it believed as possible that he would adhere to importance of such significance and importance without the consent and approval of his chief. The argument used by Secretary Redfield was that those engaged in many lines of industry demand a fixed date when the tariff bill should go into operation. They desire to adjust their business affairs in advance and be pre- by Pach Bros. SECRETARY WILLIAM C. REDFIELD. pared for the change. This is especially true of those manufacturing wool products. Great masses of petitions have been coming in from those conducting woolen business in all parts of the country praying that Schedule K be made effective Nov. 1. They urge an immediate announcement by congress of such intention. They explain that this is absolutely essential in order that contracts may be made on that basis and raw materials purchased with that understanding. Of almost equal importance was the suggestion brought to Senator Simmons by Secretary Redfield that the levy on incomes be laid only on those accruing after July 1, 1913, and not beginning with Jan. 1 of this year. This would defer the gathering of an income tax for six months. The plea is advanced that an attempt to tax incomes after Jan. 1, 1913, might be regarded as retroactive legislation and be pronounced unconstitutional by the supreme court. Wintred T. Denison, assistant attorney general, and James F. Curtis, assistant secretary of the treasury, in charge of customs, are the authors of an amendment of farreaching importance. It had been previously laid by Chairman Underwood of the ways and means committee. It has the endorsement of the attorney general and the secretary of the treasury. There is a possibility that it may be approved by the finance committee and presented in the senate before debate begins. Under the proposed amendment the secretary of the treasury would be given authority to proclaim the durable value of any merchandise as finally decided by the appraisers in case of no appeal to be the durable value. But whenever in the judgment of the secretary of the treasury, an official schedule of durable values he may from time to time proclaim such values, publish them to take effect in no case less than fifteen days after publication, and "in the absence of such announcement proclamation shall take effect at the close of such fifteenth day, and such proclamation shall continue in effect until revoked or modified by the secretary upon sixty days later." Such proclamation values by the secretary would be used in lieu of foreign market values, thereby steading the customs case as derived from an ad valorem system. AVE YOU READ THE ARPEA?

There has been a terrible howl all over the country about the high cost of living and the low wages paid and very many people claim to be unable to make both ends meet, no matter what salary they receive. But it has just been discovered that a night watchman in Chicago who received a salary of $12 per week has for the past seven years lived a dual life and maintained two families with seven children. And there is no telling how long the thing would have gone on had not one of the women in the case become suspicious when she ran across an envelope in her husband's pocket on which was a memorandum reading, "stockings for the kids." So wife No. 1 sued for a divorce and was successful in severing the matrimonial bonds that bound her to her resourceful but unfaithful spouse. We are not the least bit desirous of following the example of the aforesaid night watchman, but we would like to know how he stretched $12 per out so 'as to provide for ten people? Many of the leading members of the G. O. P. are awaking out of their lethargy and are endeavoring to arouse the other members to a sense of their duty to themselves and the party, and they will soon be heard from as of yore. The G. O. P. is all right, though a few men in the ranks proved to be renegades. However, it is confidently expected that there will be a great getting together in the near future. The first daily newspaper in the world, the Daily Courant, was established and edited by a woman, Elizabeth Mallet, in London, England, March, 1703. Women have always been great disgammators of news since the days of Mother Eve who told Adam how the apple tasted. One bank in New York has made over $80,000,000 profits since it started business in 1863 with a capital of $500,000. This just shows how money can make money, if properly handled. Candidate Holds Youngster While Mother Casts Deciding Vote. Glenwood Springs, Colo.—I'll hold the baby while you go and vote," said Mayor James Zimmerman of Carbondale to a woman voter of that city. Five minutes before the polls closed Mayor Zimmerman, who was seeking re-election, learned that two of the first voters of the town had not voted. Musical to the home of one of the women, he obtained his mission, and she hurried to the polls and cast her vote for him. Mr. Zimmerman then hurried to the residence of the other delinquent and found her rocking her baby. "Here," he said; "I'll hold the baby and you go and vote. I need every vote I can get." The mother put the baby in his arms, tied on her bonnet and at a double quick to the polling place. The mayor was asked what she whistled and made faces to amuse the baby, and when the votes were counted he found he had been elected by a majority of one vote. A GOOD INVESTMENT. Californian Lost One Wheel and Got Three Back. Palo Alto, Cal.—There is at least one man in Palo Alto who has profited by the philosophical way in which he looks upon the dark side of life. This unusual person is Van Dyke Works, whose bicycle was carried off by a thief. Works called upon his erring brother to return the missing wheel by posting the following words of wisdom in a conspicuous place: "If the cyclist who borrowed my bicycle and failed to return same had only waited until May he would have spared the owner considerable inconvenience. If he will be so good as to leave his bike down at 503 Embarach road one of dark nights he will have the reward of a clear conscience and the owner's blessing. During the next week the watchdog will be kept indoors." Works awakened in the morning to find three bicycles on his front lawn. He is advertising for the owners of the other two recovered wheels. ALBANIANS MAKE MONTPENSIER KING Paris—A dispatch from Brindisi received here says that the Duke of Montpensier was proclaimed king of Albania by the provisional government of that country. The country which has now set up a government of its own was at the beginning of the Bulgarian war a vikety of long armed war started, but no long armed war harassed on one side by the Bulgarians, on another by the Greeks and on another by the Servians, it appealed to the great powers for protection and proclaimed a provisional government. Keanil Bey became president of the new government provisionally until the Albanians should have compiled with the decrees of the ambassadors of the great powers resulting from the peace conference in London, which decree should not be partitioned among the Beys, that it should be ruled over by a prince of some royal house of Europe and supervised by the powers. The Duke of Montpensier was approached several weeks ago on the subject of becoming Albania's new ruler, but as the prince is wealthy and already socially prominent, being related to the royal families of Bulgaria, Spain and Italy, he was not especially attracted by the idea of becoming king. Duke Montpensier, the new Albania ruler, is twentythree years old, only brother and heir of the Duke of Oleans, chief of the Royalist party in France. In spite of the fact that his exile prevents him from serving in the French navy, the people of France are attached to him because of his exploration services in the hinterland of Tonking and French Cochin China and for the bravery he showed in the Moroccan campaign when he served under the banner of Spain. His most popular title of Duke of Montpensier comes from his mother, who was a Spanish infant, the daughter of the Duke of Montpensier. His father, the Duke of Montpensier, fortune, was the Comte de Paris. His sister married the Duke of Aosta, cousin of King Victor Emmanuel of Italy. NOTES FROM THE NEWS. Senator Smoot has a bill appropriating $500,000 annually to experiment in home economics, which, if passed, he says, will rob the garbage can of millions every year by teaching housewives how to utilize food. A new trial was granted in an ejection case in Philadelphia when it was found that one of the jurors was a deaf mute. He had sat through the trial, and his affection became known only when he was called to give his verdict. The ten-year-old daughter of Harry Kramer of California, Pa., had a toy bank across the top of which was the motto, "In God we trust." A burglar looted the house, but left the bank after writing below the motto, "So did I—once." There was $50 in dimes in it. Man's Preference. A woman lecturing on eugenics in Cleveland said: "It is a good thing for the human race that beauty counts for more than intellect when it comes to love. Intellect too often means nerves, insomnia, hypochondria. "Yes; it is a good thing for the human race that, as an old maid from Vassar put it rather bitterly: "Ment prefer a well formed girl to a well informed one."—New York Tribune THE OUTLET One Found Near Ogden Shows Old Indian Hieroglyphics. Ogden, Utah—With what appear to be prehistoric hieroglyphics carved on its walls, a mammoth cave rivaling the famous cave of Kentucky was discovered in this vicinity by Thomas Whitaker, a rancher, who will later lead a party of University of Utah professors on a tour of investigation. The cave is located in the mountains near Promontory point, eighteen miles from Ogden, and has probably never been visited by white men, as the surrounding country is a bleak desert. The front chamber of the series is 75 by 150 yards, 41 feet high, and the walls are picture collections of Indians crudely drawn. There is an Indian legend current in the locality to the effect that a great battle was fought years ago between two tribes near the point, the vanquished having perished in a mammoth cave. $3,000,000 FOR A FAMILY.

Kansas City, Mo—Last year Miss Ruth书walter of Kansas City, Kan, and Arthur Hummell of Indianapolis were students together at Oberlin college. They knew each other pretty well. Hummell went to Kobe, Japan, to teach. Then these cabelgrams were exchanged: "Oh, bookwalter, Kansas City, Kan. Will you?" "Hummel, Kobe, Japan. Yes." "Bookwalter, Kansas City, Kan. Hilarious." Now they are going to know each other much better. TRAPPER KILLS A PURE WHITE MOOSE Indian Tale That Animal Was Possessed by Spirit. Seattle, Wash.—The skin and head of a magnificent pure white moose arrived here from Cordova, Alaska. The albino moose was killed on Kenai peninsula by Ezra Higgins, a trapper and hunter. The Thlinket Indians cherished 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 lovingly 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 ```markdown ``` for the maiden. When in the woods a beautiful snow white snow moss sprout out of a thicket and dashed away. Year after year the Indians have worshipped the albino mongoose, and from time to time the animal has been seen. Now the albino mongoose has been killed the Indians, and many hunters think, there are several in that section. The mounted skin will be placed in the university museum. GYMNASIUM FOR HENS.

Dr. Swift promptly presented himself, whereupon Miss Clarke said, "I have heard and read so much of the wonderful work and of the remarkable operations that have been achieved at this institute that have brought my own personal case here." "And what may your affliction be?" asked the physician. "Well, in the first place, I want a new character"— "A new"—the doctor. "And an entirely new brain." supplemented Miss Clarke.

Redwood Falls, Minn.-While husking corn on a farm near this city Frantz Schnitz, who recently came from Germany, sustained injuries from a runaway team which caused a blood clot on the brain, which is affecting his mind in a manner that ends to baffle him. When brought here for treatment he asked to be permitted to play on a violin, an instrument which he says he never tried to play before. He does not play by note or written music, because he cannot read it, but produces good music notwithstanding. One curious result of the study of the mural paintings and engravings on the walls of caverns in the Pyrenees occupied in ancient times by men is the evidence which it has afforded that bows and arrows were already in use at that very early period. In a grotto at Ninax bisons, horses, deer and wild goats are represented and arrows are shown sticking into many of the animals. Some of the arrow heads thus placed are colored red.-Harroer's Weekly.

A woman to be really pretty must have luxuriant hair regardless of her complexion, and if you wish this try, MME L. A. PORTER'S HAIR CREAM. It will keep the hair clean and soft, prevent or remove dandruff, invigorate the roots and produce a healthy condition which is necessary to promote a healthy growth of hair. Try it and I am sure you will like it. Read the following testimonial which is only one of many: To whom it may concern. I take great pleasure in recommending Mme. L. A. Porter's Hair Cream. I began to use it one year ago, my hair was very dry, like bristles, hard and stubborn. It was a brownish red having been turned that color by fever. After using Mme. Porter's Cream my hair soon became soft and silky, my scalp free from dandruff. It will straighten your hair without using a hot iron and as an agent for Mme. Porter's Hair Cream I am greatly encouraged over the success I am having selling it. My patrons are all well pleased and highly recommend it, as it will do just what is claimed for it if used according to directions. I sincerely trust that this will induce others to try this cream for it is certainly fine. (Mrs.) John H. Matthews, 720 5th Ave E., Duluth, Minn. Price, 25 and 50 cents per jar. Mme L. A. Porter The thanks of the people who were present at St. James A. M. E. church last Tuesday evening is certainly due to the ladies of Queen of Sheba Chapter No. 70 O. E. S. for furnishing them the rare musical treat which they enjoyed. The recital was given by the world-famed Byron's Troubadours of eight highly skilled artists, who have made music and fame on two continents, performing on twenty different instruments and vocalizing in the English, French, German, Spanish Italian and Hawaiian languages. The company consists of Charles Byron, mgr; piano; Fred Byron, saxophone; Clarence Byron, clarinet; Herbert Byron, cornet; Ben. Byron, harp; T. J. Wood, violin; Leon L. Dogs, tenor; Creighton Thompson, baritone. Every number on the long and varied program was a musical gem and elicited rapturous and unstinted applause which was fully deserved. No more enjoyable musical treat has ever been given to the people here. The house thoroughly filled and every present enjoyed the occasion hugely. The concert was the 223d which they have given during their present tour. They left Wednesday for Chicago. While here they were guests of Mr. and Mrs. March Salters on Rondo street. The funeral of Mrs. John N. Jenkins who died on Friday of last week, aged 69 years, was held at St. James A. M. E. church, of which she was a member on last Monday afternoon.

We clip the following from one of our exchanges to warn our delinquent subscribers what a hot time they will have if they fail to pay their newspaper bills. The same fate awaits our slow-paying advertisers: "An editor who died of starvation was being escorted to Heaven by an angel sent for that purpose. " May I just glance in at the other place before we ascend to eternal happiness?" So they went below and skimming around, taking in the sights. It so happened that the angel lost track of the editor and went around Hades hunting him. He found him sitting by an enormous furnace, fanning himself and gazing with rapture upon a crowd of lost souls in the fire. Over the furnace was a sign bearing the words, "Delinquent subscribers," editor, "I'm not going. This is heaven 'Come,' said the angel, 'we must be going now.' 'You go on,' said the enough for me," Mr. S. P. Clark has moved his barber shop from one door west to one door east of the Little St. Paul restaurant on Eighth street. He has as his assistant Mr. A.
