It is expected that the number of demits will bo greatly iccreased in the near future. Orlala of the Balloon. The word balloon means “a large ball.” To Montgolfier of Annonay, France, the invention of the balloon is credited. It is said that he was led to turn his attention to balloon making from the following incident: A French laundress, wishing to dry a petticoat quickly, placed it on & basket work frame over a stove. To prevent the hheat from escaping by the opening at the top of the petticoat she drew the belt strings closely together and tled them. Gradually the garment dried and became lighter, and as the stove continued to give out heat and rarefy the air concentrated under the basket work frame the petticoat began to move and finally rose in the air. This #o astonished the laundress that she ran to her neighbors and asked them to come and witness the strange sight. Montgolfier was among those that came in. The petticoat suspended in midair suggested greater things to him, and he returned home with “gomething to think about” He at once began studying works on differ- ent kinds of atmosphere, and the In- vention of the balloon was the result.

Northern Capital Blamed for Condi- tions in South. New York, Dec. 4—That there are thousands of child slaves, mostly little girls, working In the textile mills of the South and that Northern capital Is to blame for this condition, was the declaration of Mrs. Frederick Na- than of the Consumers' league, who addressed an audience of about 1,500 persons at Lhe first winter session of the “people’s forum” in the New Rochelle theater. “The fapital of the country is liter- ally devouring little children,” said Mrs. Nathan. “When one of the negro slaves ot the South died he had to be teplaced, but these child slaves work where, the dust chokes them and gives them ‘tuberculosis and nobody cares. Many of them die, but there are al- ways others. “At a time when these little chil- dren should be nestling in their beds they are aroused by the shrill sound of the factory whistle and compelled to go to work that lasts, sometimes, far into the night. Others are em- ployed all night and when morning comes they may be found lying around the factory on benches because they are too worn out to go home for break- fast.” TRIAL PROGRESSES SLOWLY DEFENSE REPEATEDLY ECTS TO TESTIMONY IN SHEA CASE AT CHICAGO. Chicago, Dec. 4.—Albert Young, theé former president of the Teamsters’ union and the present head of the United Teamsters of America, was again called to the stand when the trial of Cornelius P. Shea, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, was resumed. The attorneys for the defense en- tered vehement protests to nearly every answer given by Young to the questions of Assistant State’s Attor- ney Miller and the trial progressed slowly. The state at the opening of the session sought to prove in a gen- eral way through Young conversations sald to have taken place between Shea and pickets placed by the Teamsters’ union. The attorneys for the defense insisted that the witness should con- fine himself to specific instances and the state declared that a genmeral ex- amination was legal and proper. Judge Ball ruled that the witness must des- ignate the time and place of all con- versations and if possible make olear the identity of all persons taking part in the conversations. Young was asked if he had done picket duty himself and replied: “Yes, Idid.” “Do you remember an occurrence that took place during the strike near the Washington street tunnel?” “I do.” “Who was there at the time?” “Jerry McCarthy, business agent of 1 the Truck Drivers’ union, and myself.” “What happened there?” “I saw a man hit a driver employed by Franklin MacVeagh & Co. and knock him down. When the man got up I hit him myself.” The witness declared that the pick- ets stationed around the stores where strikes had been declared made fre- quent reports to President Shea and that he personally heard many ot them. SAID TO BE AGAINST JAPS, Report on San Francisco Incident. San Francisco, Dec. 4—The Call says: School Director D. H. Oliver states that Secretary Metcalf, before his de- parture for Washington, told school directors that he belleved they were clearly within their rights in estab- lishing a separate school for Japanese pupils. This would tend to correct the impression that Secretary Metcalf had decided to favor the Japanese in his report to the president. The sec- retary’s report, it may be assumed, will conform to his assurances to the school board. Attorneys versed in International law believe that the treaty between Japan and America in no way covers the crisis at issue and the best that the United States can do for the island empire is to institute a test case in the federal courts, which has already been done. That the matter will be taken to the supreme court for final decision is now quite evident and if it Is decided there that the Japanese are not Mongolians, a contention raised to divert the enforcement of the law re- quiring that race to be taught in sep- arate schools, it is now quite certain & new law will be passed by the leg- islature next session to keep the Japa- nese out of schools In which Caucas- ians are taught. Metcalf's Larger Than First Dreadnought. Portsmouth, Eng., Dec. 4 —The keel plates of another Dreadnought were laid here by Admiral Sir Archibald Douglas, the commander-in-chief at Portsmouth, during the day. The new battleship will be larger and more powerful than the first Dreadnought and as much of the preliminary work has already been dome it is expected that her construction will progress rapidly. Mayor Schmitz In Court. San Franclsco, Dec. 4,— Mayor Schmitz and Abraham Ruef appeared in court during the day to answer charges of extortion contained in the indictments recently returned against them. Their arraignment was con: tinued until Thursday. LIFE INSURANCE CONTRIBUTIONS President Determined That Money Shall Be Refunded. Washington, Dec. 4.—Before he re- tires from office President Roosevelt intends to have refunded to the policy- holders of the “big three” insurance companies the money contributed to the Republican national committee in 1904 by the Equitable Life, the Mutual Life and the New York Life. The ag- gregate of the contributions, made out of the “yellow dog” funds of the com- panies, was $148,000. The fact that he was elected with | the help of money taken illegally from the policyholders of the three com- panies has nettled the president sorely for many months. He feels that it has placed a taint upon his administration as well as upon his public career and- he meaus to have the stain wiped out. Chairman Cortelyou and Treasurer Bliss of the committee have been con- sulted by the president in regard to the matter, but they absolutely refuse to agree to his proposal to return the money. However, it is known that the president is as determined as ever that the money shall be restored to the three companies. How he will work out the problem and accomplish his purpose is a matter which, it is understood, has so far resisted his best efforts. WILL FOUND ANOTHER ZION OVERSEER VOLIVA DECIDES TO ABANDON PRESENT CITY TO ITS CREDITORS. Chicago, Dec. 4.—The Chronicle ways: Zion City is to be abandoned. The “restoration host,” which was built up by John Alexander Dowie after years of strenuous effort, will shortly be left to its creditors by Wilbur Glenn Vo- liva, who, like a new Moses, will lead his people forth from the discredited gates to found another Zion. Announcement of the approaching hegira was made by Overseer Voliva before an audience of more than 1,000 persons in the Zion church at Six- teenth street and Michigan avenue. It was marked by his assumption of “divine authority.” At the same time he outlined his plans for a new city, to be conducted along socialistic lines, with himself as supreme spirit- ual and temporal head. Coupled with the announcement of his plans were vehement denunciations of unworthy members of the church, whom, he de- clared, were responsible for its fall. Autocratic socialism is to- be the government of the new community. No more debts, no more house rent, no more holding of land or property by individuals, but a sublime condition of brotherly love and primitive Chris- tianity is to prevail. At the same time Voliva is to be supreme. As to the location of the new Zion Voliva was silent, contenting himself with the declaration that he would have several announcements to make within two weeks. In preparation, however, of the crusade which he pro- poses to start in Chicago he stated that to a certain extent headquarters would be located in the “great devil's kingdom,” as he termed this ecity. HEARS REPORTS OF OFFICERS. Citizens' Industrial Association in Ses- sion at Chicago, Chicago, Dec. 4—The convention of the Cltizens’ Industrial association of America opened here during the day and is scheduled to last through two days. t Mayor Dunne delivered an address of welcome to the delegates and an address was delivered by William Collison, general secretary of the Na- tional Free Labor association of Great Britain. The greater part of the day was consumed in listening to the re- | ports of officers. President Post, in his report, char- acterized the American Federation of Labor as “the greatest trust in the world” He declared the industrial association was formed to defend communities and citizens from “the destructive acts of both capital and labor.” He said: “In the late elec- tion, where the labor trust was avow- edly arrayed against the common peo- ple in an effort to retire congress- men who voted contrary to the dic- tates of the trust, the discovery was made that the great mass of citizens are not members of the labor trust, or of any other trust.” ESTIMATED APPROPRIATIONS. Secretary of the Treasury Sends Fig- ures to Congress. ‘Washington, Dec. 4.—The secretary of the treasury has transmitted to congress the book of estimates of ap- propriations required for government service for the fiscal year ending June 39, 1908, as follows: Legislative establishment, $5,618,- 175; executive establishment, $32,671, judicial establishment, $980,120; loreign intercourse, $3,254,007; mili- tary establishment, $79,950,102; naval establishment, $115,444,950; Indian af- fairs, $7,970,168; public works, $95, 865,640; miscellaneous, $59,244,088; permanent annual appropriation, $149, §86,320; total, $689,028,453. Consul Miller Denies Report. ‘Washington, Dec. 4—Emphatic de- nial has been made by H. D. Miller, American consul general ‘at Yokoha- ma, of the reports emanating from San Francisco that he had predicted a war between the United States and Jepan, % = x TUBES BECAME MIXED. Filipino Prisoners Inoculated With Plague Germs. Manila, Dec, 4—An investigation made at Biiibid, where ten prisoners who had been inoculated with cholera serum recently 'died, has disclosed traces of plague germs in the dead bodies. No formal report on the result of the investigation has been made and the government has reached no decision in the matter. It is asserted that tubes containing plague germs and others filled with cholera serum, which are so much alike that it is al- most Impossible to distinguish them apart, were mixed in the laboratory by a visltor who examined the plague germs and by mistake placed them in a rack with the serum tubes. This is sald to have occurred during the tem- porary absence of Dr. R. P. Strong of the bureau of science, who has been conducting- experiments and inocula- tion of persons with cholera serum to test its efficacy. The natives generally are in ignor- ance of the situation, but the native newspapers are indignant and bitter. It is not believed that criminal charges will be preferred, -but it is possible that Dr. Strong may resign. WILL QUIT AMERICA FOREVER. Harry Thaw to Reside in Paris -if Acquitted.
