Mr, Dapper is one of that class of men who are scrupulously neat in their personal appearance, but who never fall to leave chaos behind them in the scenc of their preparations. A neigh- bor recently called on Mrs. Dapper gnd remarked: % “One rarely sees a more well kept man than your husband. He always looks as if he had just come out of a bandbox.” “Very true,” returned Mrs. Dapper, “but”—with a sigh—‘“you ought to see the bandbox.”—Pearson’s Weekly. Plain Living.

About an equal number of men were ‘smuggled into Hibbing and Eveleth at the same time, but the company got them out to the mines before the strik- ers’ pickets had a chance to talk with them. ‘The whole question of the iron mine strike i3 now whether the company will be able to secure a sufficient num- ber of men to operate the mines. The strikers say it will be impossible to do so, but the company contends that it will be easily accomplished. Some of the men brought in by the com- pany go to work readily enough, but there are many deserters in the ranks of the nonunion men.

Shumaker, former super- intendent of public buildings and grounds at Harrisburg, who is impli- cated by the reports of the capitol investigation commission, has de- clared that he will make full confes- slon of all he knows in connection with the capitol scandal. He claims that the manipulation of ds was engineered by a high official of the state at Harrisburg to cover up a shortage in the state treasury. Shumaker lives at Johnstown and when he was subpoenaed.to appear before the capitol investigation com- mission to tell what he knew he pleaded iliness and remained secluded in his house. Now he is apparently ready to divulge Iimportant secrets when the trials begin in September. Shumaker’s statement, given out by one of his closest personal and polit- ical friends, is as follows: “I am going on the witness stand to tell everything. I will. not keep back a single secret and when I get through I will show that a man high in official life at Harrisburg ought to go to the penitentiary. “I have committed no wrong. The probers may be after me, but I will go after the man they are protecting. I will not spare him. I am going to tell everything I know. I do not pro- pose to suffer for the sins of a scoun-, drel who knew the colossal graft, but refused to stop it as I urged. I know what the graft was for; that it was to cover a treasury shortage and save the namé of a-former United States sena- tor from Pennsylvania, now dead. I am anxious to go on the stand and the sooner the better for 'me: “I want to get myself right before the people, for, so help me God, I am an innocent man.” ULTIMATUM IS ISSUED. Alabama Rallroads Glven Until Oct. 1 to Comply With Law. Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 28.—Gover- nor Comer, in a statement issued here, sald he would give the railroad com- panies until Oct. 1 to comply with the recently enacted rate law. If they do not comply by that date, he says, he will call a special session of the leg- islature and urge the enactment of even more drastic laws. Governor Comer’s statement was the result of instructions given to the federal grand jury Wedneaday. Judge Thomas C. Jones urged the indictment | of any county or state oficers who in- terferes in any way with the injunoc- tions 1ssued by his court nullitying the cheap rate law recently passed by th legislature. 3 * Judge Jonea’ charge is an answer to the threat of Governor Comer that he would order state officlals to- en- force the law despite the federal in- Junction. Judge Jones calls the situa- tion “abominable, uncalled for and detrimental to the welfare of Ala- bama.” 2 BEATS WIFE, THEN SUICIDES 8t. Paul Man Ends Life by Drinking Carbollc Acid. St. Paul, Aug. 23.—Following & bru- tal attack on his wife, Carl Johnson, aged thirty-five, committed suicide by drinking carbolic acid. : Mrs. Johnson has just return from & hard ‘day’s work and her hus- band, who had been drinking, met her at the door with a demand for money. The money was refused and Johnson, setting on his wife, beat and kicked her until she was black and blue-and almost unconscious. As¢ the woman sank to the floor the husband drew a bottle of acid from his pocket and drank the contents. He ‘was removed to the city hospital, but dled soon after reaching there. Johnson had been working irregu- larly of late at the trade of stone- outting and had been indulging freely in liquor. el - PROTEST IS ‘EFFECTIVE. Proposed Advanoé in Rates Immedi- " ately Rescinded.

OCEAN LINES IN RATE WAR Fight Affects Cabin, 8teerage and 7 Frelght Traffio, Berlin, Aug. 28.—A rate war involv- Ing cabin passages has broken out be: tween the Cunard and the German lines in the North Atlantic service. The Cunard line having offered a min- Imum' first cabin’ passage from Ham- burg to New York for $187.50, fhalud- Ing a free ticket to Liverpool and ex- penses there, the: Hamburg-American line announces a reduction © rate $180 to 50 and $180 to $117.50. This was bronght about after prolonged negotiations on the part of the German lines with the Cunard line for the purpose of reach- ing an agreement to maintain common rates. The German lines are becoming in- volved in rate wars in various direc- tions, The Hamburg-American line's new connection between New York and Baltic ports s a blow at the Euro- pean lines, which have answered with a further reduction of the steerage rate to New York. The German lines found it fmpossible to continue ‘to draw Russian emigrants by the rafl route from the Russian frontier to Hamburg and Bremen because they preferred embarking at home ports, Rige and Libau. This necessitated bidding for emigrants at Baltic ports. The view prevalls at Hamburg and Bremen that the Russian lines will prove unable to keep up the fight for any length of time and will offer to compromise before many months have elapsed. Demoralization also prevails in the freight business to Brazil and other parts of South America caused by a cut from $8.756 to $3.75 per ton by the English shipping firm of Lam- port & Holt. The German lines have been hit hard by the big reduction made. by the Lamport & Holt line. They say a single cargo of coffee must now be carried $26,000 cheaper. STRIKE SEEMS PROBABLE Great Northern and Northern Pacific Operators Dissatisfied. St. Paul, Aug. 23.—The telegraphic situation on the Great Northern and Northern Pacific roads is daily be- coming more strained. As far as the other lines are concerned there is lit- tle danger of trouble. One of the op- erators on the Northern Pacific said regarding the possibilities of a walk- out: “I would not be greatly surprised if a strike were called within the next few days. The Order of Rallway Tel- egraphers of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern roads has been mak- ing demands for a raise in pay for the last two months. It has been almost impossible to get our grievances be- fore the general managers and our com- mittees are realizing that they must act.” The telegraphers maintain their de- mands have not been made in sympa- thy with the strike of the Western TUnion and Postal operators, although the situation has been brought to a head by the action of their colleagues. RAISES INTEREST ON BONDS New York Agrees to Pay Four and a Half Per Cent. New York, Aug. 23.—Owing to the present stringency in the money mar- ket the city of New York has been obliged to raise the rate of interest on bonds it now has for sale from 4 to 43 per cent. In addition the mayor issued an order to the heads of all olty departments requesting them to limit the expenditures of their respec- tive departments to the lowest possi- ble point consistent with efficient ad- ministration. The action increasing the rate of interest was taken at a meeting of the sinking fund commis- sion. The bonds affected are those known as corporate stock of the city of New York and the assessment bonds. This is the first time in twenty years that the oity has been compelled to pay more than 4 per cent. LABOR LEADERS AT NORFOLK Inspect Federation’s Exhibit at James- town Tercentennial. Norfolk, Va., Aug. 28.—The execu- tive council of the American Federa- tion of Labor, headed by President Gompers, arrived here during the day. The.council after completing hall, ho- tel and printing arrangements for the federation conventifon proceeded to the Jamestown exposition grounds and inspected the exhibit of the feder- atlon, which occupies over 4,000 square feet in the Boclal Bconomy building.

Four to Dle on One Scaffold. Lancaster, Pa., Aug. 23.—The death warrant for the hanging of four Ital- fans here on Oct. 8 is the first warrant for four persons to be executed In Pennsylvania in many years. There have been numerous double hangings and-one or two triple executions have been known in recent years, but the issuance of a warrant for four to be hanged on a single scaffold Is without precedent in the memory of men serv- ing in state offices. Many Russian Papers Suspend. -8t.. Petersburg, Aug, 23.—The re- strictive measures and frequent heavy fines imposed on Russian newspapers during the lest two months have had a rulnous result on the provineial press. Fully a’third of the newspapers the provinges have stopped publica- n and the officlal news ageney has lost half of its subsorll ‘The Poisonous Black Sea. The Black sea, which In some parts has a depth of more than 6,500 feet, is poisoned’ by sulphureted hydrogen wherever the water is deeper than 1,200 feet. This accounts for the curl- ous faet that there 1s no organic life below. that depth, excepting perhaps some bacteria of very low order, im- pregnated with sulphur. The causes for this phenomenon are explained by the quick outflow of the fresh wa- ter through the Bosporus, while salt ‘water coming from the Mediterranean enters through a deeper current into the depths of the Black sea. The wa- ters on the surface are, therefore, con- trolled ‘absolutely by horizontal cur- rents of considerable force, and vertl- | cal currents which might carry the noxious gases from the bottom to the surface and fresh oxygen from the surface to the bottom are hardly ‘moticeable.
