Chicago is an Indian word, meaning wild onfon or skunk weed. Chesa- peake is also Indian and Is varlously interpreted as highly salted water, great waters or country on a great river. Chautauqua Is also an Indian ‘word and has had several interpreta- tlons, as a foggy place, a bag tled in the middle (referring to the shape of the lake), a place where a child was washed away, where the fish are tak- en out, place of easy death or, finally, place where one was lost. Des Molnes 1s usually supposed to refer only to the Trapplst monks, and it is also connect: ed with an Indlan word meaning the road. Nlagara is an Indlan word, sig- nifying across the stralt or at the neck. Bhenandoah is Indian and means the sprucy stream or a river flowing along: side of high hills. Massachusetts means near the great hills or the hill shaped like an arrowhead or, again, the blue hills. Mississippl means greal ‘water or gathering in of all the/ wa- ters or an almost endless river spread out.—Leslle’s Weekly. . Playthings of Ancient Children. The most primitive toy is the doll. It dates back to prehistoric times and 18 found In every part of the world. This one would naturally expect to find. A child, seelng its mother nurs: ing other younger children, would imi- tate the example with an improvised doll. Toy weapons, agaln, are older than history. Many of the other toys at present In use date from the earlt- est times of which we have any rec- ord. In the tombs of the anclent Bgyp- tians, along with painted dolls having movable imbs, have been found mar bles, leather covered balls, elastic balls eand marionettes moved by strings. Anclent Greek tombs furnish clay dolls, toy horses and wooden carts and ships. In the Louvre there are mome Greco-Roman dolls of terra cotta with movable joints astened by wires, Greek bables had rattles. Greek boys played with whipping tops. So did the boys in ancient Rome. Why Safety Matches Strike on Glass, There are two reasons why ordinary safety matches can be struck on smooth zllu. The head of the safety match composed of a mixture of sulphide of antimony, chlorate of potassium and powdered glass. A comparatively emall Increase of temperature will cause this to ignite. Now, glass is a bad conductor of heat, and the rapld passage of the substance over it raises the temperature of that substance suffi- clently for that purpose. When the glass 18 rough the friction crumbles away the loosely combined mixture before the temperature rises to the polnt of ignition; hence, given the com- position of the match head, the two ¢ircumstances which answer the ques tlon are the comparative smoothness of the glass and its imperfect conduc- tivity of heat. f Europe, ‘The tallest men of Europe are found in Catalonia, Normandy, Yorkshire and the Ardennes dlstrict of Belglum. Prus- #ia gets her tallest recrults from Sles- ‘wick-Holstein, the original home of the ‘Anglo-Saxons; Austria from the Tyro- lase highlands. In Italy the progress of physical degeneration has extended to the upper Apennines, but the Alba- nian Turks are still an athletie race, and the natives of the Oaucasus are as sinewy and gaunt as In the days of the argonauts, \ R Bteel Corporation Insists on Maintain- Duluth Dock Laborers Vote to Ac- cept Latest Proposal. CONCESSIONS BY BOTH SIDES ing the Open Shop and the Wagea Previously Agreed on but Is Willing to Listen to Grievances. Duluth, Aug, l—Atter discussing for more than two hours the propost- ttons contatned In the final lejter of the officlals of the Duluth, Missabe and Northern railway to theg striking ore dock men the latter Voted to re- turn to work. This ends the dock strike in Duluth, Superior and prob- ably in Two Harbors and it is regard- od as lkely that the officlals of the steol corporation yill immediately re- sume mining on the range, The acceptance by the strikers of the terms of the rallroad officlals is than for the men, but both sides made concessions. The letter to the men, which was addressod to Mayor Cul- lum, was one of extreme mildness in tone, but in it the company stood out for its policy of maintaining an open shop. On the question of an increase in pay the company was equally firm, maintaining that a verbal agreement had been entered into between the Company and the Men on a scale of wages which was tQ re- main in effect until Oct. 31, 1907, should be fulfilled by the employes. Arbitration was not denied, neither was it promised, but it is understood from the letter that the men may bring up any grievance they may have singly or by committee and it will re- celve due consideration by the com- pany. Had the men not voted to return to work it is firmly belleved that the company would have begun operations on the docks in a day or two, as prep- arations had been made to that end. Men to take the strikers’ places were on hand in boarding cars and ample protection 1ad been afforded by the city authorities for those willing to work. The strike on the docks has been in effect about two and a half weeks. REPLY OF STEEL TRUST. Final Answer to Demands of Ore Dock Strikers. Duluth, Aug: 1.—The letter of the steel corporation making the reply of that corporation to the striking ore dockmen was delivered to them at 10 a. m. The letter expresses: First—A readiness to re-employ all old men before accepting any labor- ers not heretofore in the employ of the company. Second—A willingness to take up with any of the employes after they have returned to work individually or collectively any issue which the men deem should be readjusted. Third—It states that so far as the company knows the only points of difference bétween them and the strik- ers are: (A)—Open shop, which the company claims to be already settled, because in a previous communication the strik- ers stated they had no objection to such an understanding. The company therefore sees nothing in this matter to be arbitrated. (B)—Quebdtion of Wages—In this the company holds that the strikers are bound by a verbal agreement which they made and broke and which the company has adhered to. _The company therefore sees no difference for arbitration on this point. Fourth—The company expresses & hope that the strikers will immedi- ately return to woérk, but states that it they refuse their places will be filled and operations on the docks re- sumed immediately. TURNED BACK BY DEPUTIES 8ix Hundred Strikers Plan to Make a Demonstration, Duluth, Aug. 1.—A staff correspond- ent of the Herald, wiring from Hib- bing, Minn., says: Herded like sheep by ten arrfied dep- uties in charge of Deputy Sheriff Ma- gle 600 striking miners who started out to sweep the entire Chisholm dis- trict and Intintidate the men who were working there were driven back along the county road to the hall from which they started and there, after being treated to a flerce tongue lash- ing by the ohief of police, were dis- persed. The strikers assembled at Chisholm and started out along the county road, planning to make such a demonstra- tion of their strength that the men working at the different locations in the Chisholm district would be in- duced to quit work. Deputy Sherift Magle was informed of the impending trouble, however, and he had a num- ber of deputies stationed at the loca- tlons armed with high power rifies. He also met the men with ten armed deputies, who completely blocked the road. The 600 strikers stopped on meeting this obstruction and attempt- ed to argue, but the deputies simply ordered them back. The men were_| driven into the hall from which they started and here Chief of Police Mad- den raked the men over with a broad- slde of the warmest language and told them that if there was any more “monkey business” there would be “bloodshed.” JEROME TAKEs CHARGE, Personally Investigating Plots of Ar- menlan Blackmallers.

St. Paul, Aug. 1.—The state and federal laws prohibiting the employ- ment of trainmen for more than six- teen consecutive hours are due to con- flict. The federal law, which was passed by congress last winter, gives the rallroads one year in which to comply and the roads accordingly have chosen to Ignore the state law and wait until the federal statute becomes operative. Attorney General Young has re- celved several complaints of violations of the state law and has given notice of prosecutions. One road, in reply, states that railways are not compelled to obey the state law, holding that the state has no power to regulate the matter. CURRY MEETS ROOSEVELT Next Governor of New Mexico at Sag: amore Hill, Oyster Bay, L. I, Aug. 1.—Governor George Curry, who arrived in the United States ten days ago from his post as governor of the Philippine province of Samar to assume the du- ties of his new position as governor of the territory of New Mexico, con- sulted with President Roosevelt for two hours. The governor arrived in Oyster Bay with Federal Judge B. S. Rodey of Porto Rico, formerly dele- gate in congress from New Mexico. Governor Curry said he was not fa- miliar enough with the problems he would have to face in his new posi- tion to discuss them. Judge Rodey, who called on Secretary.Loeb during the conference at Sagamore Hill, re- marked that in his opinion the situa- tion in New Mexico was.the worst from the standpoint of discord, in- trigue and crookedness that could be found in ‘any of the dependencies or territories of the United States “and the president could not have found a better man than Curry to straighten out the tangle,” he added. On leaving Sagar_ -~ Hill Governor Curry said he had @9 over the New Mexico situation in a general way with the president. He will spend one day in Washington and then pro- ceed to Santa Fe. ABOLITION OF CONTRABAND British Proposition Adopted by Peace Conference. The Hague, Aug. 1.—The British proposition for the abolition of contra- band was adopted in committee by 25 votes to 5. The representatives of the United States, Germany, France, Rus- sla and Montenegro expressed them- selves as opposed to the measure and Japan, Spain, Panama, Greece and Roumania abstained from voting. There were also ten absentees. In explanation of the American vote in opposition Joseph H. Choate de- clared it was the plan of the United States to limit in every way possible the list of objects that shall be con- sldered contraband of war, but to go further than this now would be a vio- latlon of a long established custom. The change, Mr. Choate continued, will create many uncertainties regard- Ing the rights and duties of neutrals and belligerents, prove more injurious to the commerce of the world than the exlisting custom and contribute nothing to the interests of peace. The British proposal on contraband. together with the proposals submitted by the United States and Germany on the same subject, have been sent to committee for examination. The Amer- fcan proposal divides contraband into two classes, absolute and conditional. OVERSTEPPED 'ITS POWERS Foraker’s View of Action of Ohlo Re- publican Committee. Cincinnati, Aug. 1.—When Senator Foraker learned of the action of the| Republican state committee endorsing Secretary Taft's candidacy for pres- ident he gave out the following state- ment: “I cannot add anything to what I sald in my open letter. I wrote that letter foreseeing the result and feel- ing that it was my duty to give notice beforehand that I would not be bound by any such unauthorized action. The committee had no more right to speak on that subject for the Republicans of Ohio than any other twenty-one Re- publicans of the state might have had and the action of the committee will not affect my course in any way. The next state convention will have au- thority to speak and by the action of that convention it will be the duty of every good Republican to abide.” Operations Ordered Suspended. Tangier, Morocco, Aug. 1.—At the request of the British minister here, Gerard A. Lowther, made upon the re- celpt of a letter from Cald Sir Harry MacLean stating that Raisuli, who holds him prisoner, threatens to put him to death unless the troops of the government are withdrawn from the Elkmas territory, Mohammed Gabbas, the minister of war, has ordered the have masked their operations under et gt Sl L suspension of all operations against Ralsull, BOTH DIED FOR LOVE Coroner’s Opinion of Double Trag- edy at Colorado Springs.

At the coroner’s inquest during the day letters written by Coey to Miss Matthews were read to the jury. The letters Indicate that Coey was deeply in love with Miss Matthews. In nearly every letter Coey encour- aged Miss Matthéws to be “a good littlé girl” and to come back to him with her health restored. Numerous clippings from Chicago papers about races in which Coey had participated, a yacht he had purchased and other news items were enclosed in the let- ters. ADDS TO THE MYSTERY. Friend of Young Woman Suicide Ends His Life. Colorado Springs, Colo., Aug. 1.— Amos R. Rumbaugh of Washington, D. C, a cle friend of Miss Laura Matthews, the young woman who com- mitted suicide near Broadmoor Sun- day night, added horror and mystery to the gruesome case by shooting him- self through the head in the same manner adopted by Miss Matthews. He died a few hours later. That the act of Rumbaugh was the direct result of the death of Miss Matthews is not doubted. He was to have appeared as a witness at the coroner’s inquest to tell what he knew of his friend’s tragic end. Rum- haugh claimed to be but a chance ac- quaintance of the girl, but it de- veloped that he knew her in Chicago and also knew C. A. Coey, the wealthy Chicagoan, and Dr. H. A, Thomas of the “101 Ranch.” He was frequently a member of partiss at which Miss Matthews and the other men referred to were members, - Rumbaugh was the one who sent the telegram to Coey demanding that he “do the right thing by the girl,” and 1t was with him that Miss Mat- thews left the letter in which was en- closed another letter to Coey.

I Judge Robbins Denies Prejudice but Vacates Bench. Georgetown, Ky, Aug. 1.—Specla Judge J. E. Robbins, in a written de clsion which e read in open court, vacated the bench in the Caleb Pow ers case, His decision followed the filing of an affidavit by Powers alleg: Ing that Judge Robbins was' prejudiced and could not give him a fair trial The decision was’unexpected by the prosecution and was a great surprise to the:defense. Judge Robbins_took -Tower, under arrest here for com- up each allegation of Powers and de nled specifically that they were true, but sald that it was too late to mar his record as Judge by sitting in a case when he was accused of unfair. ness. He sald that the statement to the effectthat he had sald after the last trial that they were all guilty anu should be hanged was utterly false, He said that his political affilfations would not influence him against the defendant, but ‘that he was a Demo- crat and had been a Democratic office holder.

Expert's Opinion of Cause of Death of Mrs. Pet Magilli. Clinton, I, Aug. 1.—The report of the medical experts who made an an’ alysis of the contents of the stomach of Mrs. Pet Magill, the first wife of Fred Magill, has been received here and State’s Attorney Miller announced that the report is to the effect that Mrs. Magill died from chloroform pof- soning. A trece of arsenic was also found. The belief is growing here that Mrs. Magill did commit suicide. Lot H. Herrick, special assistant state’s attorney ‘preparing evidence for the special grand jury, said: “The chemists’ report does mnot ‘weaken our case. We contend that a sulcide compact existed between Fred Magill and his wife, Mrs. Pet Magill. The law makes it a murder if one per- son agrees with another to commit sulclde and deliberately deceives the other person. If one person to the compact fails to carry out the agree- ment it is manslaughter. If deliberate deceit is shown it is murder. That will be our case.” : i _VICTORY FOR MRS. EDDY. New Hampshire Magistrate Suspends Taking of Depositigns. Concord, N. H., Aug. l—After a hearing lasting all day, Magistrate Ed- mund 8. Cook, before whom the depo- sitions were to have been taken in con- nection with the suit to secure an ac- counting of the property” of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, the Christian Scientist leader, Magistrate Cook de- clded to suspend the taking of these depositions in order that an appeal for advice on the technical questions in- volved might be taken to Judge Cham- berlin of the superior court or to the masters appointed by him.
