MAGOON PLEASED WITH SITUATION PRAISES INSURGENT LEADERS FOR ASSISTANCE GIVEN IN RESTORING ORDER. Havana, Oct. 17.—Governor Magoon expresses warm appreciation of the assistance given by the leaders of the revolution in the restoratlon of order in Cuba.

No reinforcements of troops will be dispatched from France to Algeria for the present. The measures to be taken wlill be confined to concentration of military forces on the Moroccan fron- tler in order to prevent incursions from the direction of Morocco. DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Ohio Law Providing Pensions for the Blind. Columbus, 0., Oct. 17.—By a de- cision of the supreme court the blind pension law, passed in 1894, is wiped from the statute books. The decision was given in the case of J. T. Davies, auditor of Lucas coun- ty, vs. John L. Boyle. The latter is a blind man coming within the scope of the act. The auditor, helieving that the act was unconstitutional, refused to issue to Boyle a warrant for his quarterly pension of $25. Mandamus proceedings were brought against Davies. The courts of Lucas county held in favor of the blind pensloner, sustalning the act. The supreme court now reverses the judgment of the circuit court. The law provides that “worthy blind residents” should be paid $25 each quarter out of the treas- ury of the county of which they were legal resldents. The court sustains the contention that the act is in con- travention of the state constitution, MORE PAY RECOMMENDED. Announcement of Interest to Postal Employes.

WORK ON THE CANAL. JURY HEARS ARGUMENT Secretary Root Gives Results of His £ Observations, CASE AGAINST STANDARD OIL | Véshington, Oct. 17.— Secretary Root, who speut two days on the isth- COMPANY OF OHIO NEARING mus of Panama on his return from his COMPLETION. 44p to South America, has written a letter to the president giving the re- sults of his observations of the work on the canal. The amount of actual excavation done and being done in and mear Culebra cut, Mr. Root says, both gratified and surprised him. The secretary expresses the opinfon that the time occupied in preparing for contracts for continuing the work has not been excessive, or that, espe- clally in view of the fact that the work has-been vigorously prosecuted In the meanwhile, there is any ground for imputing any delay whatever to the managers of the canal construc- tion. “The greatest. danger in the way of canal construction now seems to me,” he says, “to be lest the really good and able men who are competent to handle it and who can get profitable employment elsewhere should be un- willing to continue in the service un- der indiscriminate misrepresentation and abuse.” IN SPITE OF GOOD RESULTS DEFENSE OFFERS- LITTLE EVIDENCE 8UBMITS VERDICT OF SUPREME COURT IN FORMER CASE IN THAT STATE. Findlay, O., Oct. 17.—Both the state and the defense in the trial of the Standard Oil company of Ohio for al- leged conspiracy agalnst trade rested their case within the first hour of the trial and argument, which took the balance of the day, was begun. It had been the plan of the defense to submit evidence to the jury through- out the day, but this was changed and the only evidence they adduced was a certified copy of the journal of the supreme court of the state showing that a verdict of not guilty had been rendered in the case against the com- paay for contempt in not dissolving the trust. The prosecution opened the day with the testimony of State Ofl In- spector Finley, who said that the Standard Oil company of Ohio paid the inspection fees for the Cleveland refinery and 99 per cent of the inspec- tion fees for the Solar Refining com- pany of Ohio. The latter, he said, re- fined 50 per cent of all the oil refined in the state. & That the Standard had a distribut- ing station in Findlay and that its only competitor in the sale of refined oil here was the National, an ‘inde- pendent company, was brought out by the testimony of Local Oil Inspector Shaffer, who was recalled to the stand by the prosecution, ‘Whén the court adjourned for lunch- eon Prosecutor David had nearly com- pleted his argument of the case to the Jury. OHIO LEGISLATIVE TION COMMITTEE DECLARED WITHOUT POWER, INVESTIGA- Columbus, ‘0., Oct. 17.—The Drake investigating committee created by the legislature last winter is without power in a legal sense, according to a decision of the supreme court. The committee was created to probe the affairs of Hamilton county and Cincin- nati and the committee held meetings in Cincinnati several times and also in this city. The case came to the supreme court through a suit brought by the Rolertson Realty company of Cincinnati against the state auditor to compel him (o issue a warrant on the state treasurer in payment for rooms occupied by the committee while in Cincinaatl. The Drake committee dur- Ing its investigatiors in Cincinnati brought out the personal collection by county treasurers of interest on public funds deposited in banks. Because of the criticism aroused half a dozen for- mer (reasurers paid voluntarily into the county tréasury a total of $214,000, which they estimated they had thus received. .Other matters brought out affected the sale of turnpike roads to the county, in which large commis- slons were paid for disposing of the roads. IN RESTRAINT OF TRADE. Witness’ Opinion of Rules of Chicago Board of Trade. Chicago, Oct. 17.—Richard Gambrill, a board of trade broker, was the first witness of the day in the interstate commerce commission inquiry into the methods of handling grain in the West and Northwest. Mr. Gambrill declared that the rules of the Chicago board of trade are clearly in restraint of trade and are rapidly making the Chicago grain mar- ket, in the words of the witness, “a one-horse proposition.” “A rule is posted on the Chicago board of trade each afternoon,” said Mr. Gambrill, “which prevents me from going into the country and bid- ding for grain. That, to my mind, is detrimental to business and is in re- straint of trade.” Samuel Finney, another broker on the board of trade, testified that ther- is an agreement -between certai hoard of trade men to bid certair prices for grain in the country. He named two firms which, he declared, are a party to this agreement. DEATH FORETOLD |IN DREAM.

FORD WHITE. JISTRICT ATTORNEY SO INTIMATES HINTS THAW WAS GIVEN REVOL. VER AND URGED TO COM- MIT CRIME. New York, Oct. 17.—That another person may be indicted with Harry K. Thaw for the murder of Stanford White was intimated by District At- torney Jerome during the day. Mr. Jerome indicated that such an indict- ment might be found during an argu- ment before Recorder Goff as to the right of the district attorney to issue further grand jury subpoenaes in the case. The attorneys for Harry Thaw have sought to prevent the examination of witnesses in the case by the district attorney through the use of grand jury subpoenaes in John Doe proceedings, alleging that such examination was fllegal after Thaw had been indicted. ‘When the matter came up before Recorder Goff Mr. Jerome said: “There is no fiction in this case. I am not sure that there is not another that-could be coupled with Harry K. Thaw for an indictment for murder in the first degree. It does not appear where Thaw got the revolver with which he killed White. It does not appear that words were not spoken that urged him on. It does not ap- pear that the grand jury is not in- vestigating for the purpose of finding a superceding indictment against oth- ers.” No decision was made by the re- corder. KELLEY'S CASE DISMISSED. Young Roosevelt's Roommate Freed of Assault Charge. Boston, Oct. 17.—The case against Shaun Kelley, the Harvard student charged with assaulting a policeman, has been dismissed in the municipal court. The case grew out of the at tempt of the officers to arrest a party of Harvard men who were skylarking on Boston common, Theodore Roose- velt, Jr., and Shaun Kelley, his room mate, being in the party. One of the patrolmen was injured in the encoun- ter with the students. In dismissing the case Judge Went- worth commented at some length upon it, saying that the efforts of the police to put a stop to the disturbance were commendable, but that with reason Kelley was under the belief that his arrest was illegal and under the cir- cumstances the resistance which he offered was not of undue violence.

At first the party who used the room did not relish their cempany, but for cer- tain reasons he did not molest them. He paid no attention to the little buz- zers, and they came and went at their own sweet will. After a time he began to study them and sgon came to the conclusion that they were gradually becoming acquainted with him, his ways and his dark room. One day a stranger was seated on the window sill. The first wasp eatering the room paid no attention to him, but made for the old crack in the wall. Then out came a big fat fellow who darted through the open window like a bullet. Within five minutes half a dozen wasps came Wwith a rush at the stranger and two of them located him.

Raters, Sailabouts and Larks, ‘What is a rater, a sailabout, a lark, is a question commonly heard among those not familiar with yachts and technical racing terms. A rater is thirty-eight feet long and carries the double sails—sloop rig and jib. The half rater is thirty-two feet long, car- rles the same style sails as the rater and usually gets a five minute handi- cap in rater races. The sailabout car- rles a single large sail and is built on graceful lines, with rounded sides and ends, while the lark has square sides and ends and carries the single sail. Few larks are built now. Most of the Yachts recently built have the double centerboard. The centerboard pre- vents drifting sidewise, and the single board is often entirely out of water during heavy winds; hence the use of the double board. The White Headed Boy. - The phrase “his mother's white head- ed boy” is as old as the hills in Ire- land. It appears in many of the Irish Tairy stories of the last century.

Gerald Griffin in one of his best short stories years ago | used the phrase as one he had bor rowed from an old Celtic book. Minneapolis Wheat.
