The Tailor and the College Humorist. Ferennial victims of the humorous paper at Yale are the familiar campus characters, Jim Donnelly, the police- man; Pop - Warner, the “teeming ex- pressman,” so called because he deliv- ers his goods in an automobile, and Rosenberg Sons, the suit pressers, about whom, in a Pegasian flight of distress at the time of the junior prom., the Record uttered these wing- ed words: ©Oh, Rosenberg, dear Rosenberg, Thy sons we'll ne'er forget. That sult of clothes, God only knows, I'm waiting for them yet. T'll miss that train. I'll go insane And rip and tear and cuss. Just out of reach There goes that peach I've missed my chance to fuss. ‘With this same suit presser as hero, the story is told on a popular pro- fessor that In leading chapel one morn- ing he stopped short, leaned over and whispered excitedly to the choir, “What's the name of that song, ‘Press On, Christian Soldler, Press On?” “Rosenberg!” came from a dozen men at once. “We'll sing three stanzas of Rosenberg!” said the leader, with ec- cleslastical assurance.—E.

Mr. Peet, a very diffident man, was unable to prevent himself being intro- duced one evening to a fascinating young lady, who, misunderstanding his name, constantly addressed him as Mr. Peters, much to the gentleman’s dis- tress. Finally summoning up the cour- age, he earnestly remonstrated: “Oh, don’t call me Peters. Call me Peet!” “Ah, but 1 don’t know you well enough, Mr. Peters,” sald the young lady, blushing, as she withdrew be- hind her fan.—London Telegraph. The Onion In Cooking. The greatest of French cooks, being asked to give the secret of his success, answered: “The very foundation of all good cooking Is butter and onion! 1 use them in all my sauces and gravies, They have the effect of making a cus- tomer come back for more.

Washington, Jan. 31.—Senator Al- drich, chairman of the senate commit- tee on finance, has favorably reported his bill providing for an emergency increase in the national bank circula- tion. The report was authorized at a meeting of the committee at which a’ the Republican members present voted for a resolution authorizing the re- porting of the bill and all the Demo- crats voted for the Bailey substitute. Senator Hansbrough, who favors a central bank scherme, was not present. and his vote was unrecorded. The only Democrats in attendance were Senators Teller, Bailey and Daniel. Senator Taliaferro, who is absent in Florida, was recorded as for the Bailey substitute. Senator Money also was absent and his vote was unrecorded. Mr. Aldrich said he would call the bill up for consideration on Monday, Feb. 10. Mr. Aldrich said he made this an- nouncement as to time so that sen- ators might have ample opportunity to prepare for the discussion of the bill. He said that the committee had under consideration some amendments to the bill relating to railroad bonds and probably would suggest them at a later cay. He explained that the bill was the bill of the majority of the committee and that members of the minority might have a substitute to offer later. He also added that his correspendence with the interstate commerce commission upon the sub- ject of railroad securities would be presented as a document. Mr. Bailey said that if the finance committee proposed to submit a writ- ten report on the banking bill he wished to reserve thé right on behalf of the minority of the committee to do the same hereafter. Mr. Aldrich replied that it had not been customary to submit written re- ports in such cases, but he expected to explain the measure on behalf of the committee. In that case Mr. Bailey said it would not be necessary to reserve the right of any report. CAUSE INTENSE SUFFERING Nearly Zero Weather and High Wind Hit New York. New York, Jan. 31.—The icy blasts which swept down cn the city sent the mercury tumbling to the lowest point of the present season and brought intense suffering to thousands and even death came to some. Pat- rick Allen, who for forty years had been a horse car driver, succumbed to cold and exposure just as he was about to finish his night’s work and tumbled from the platform of his car into the street. He was taken to the hospital in a dying condition. John J. Harrington, a news dealer, was found lying in a roadway in the Bronx so badly frozen that he died soon after being taken to a hospital. A man who said he was Ginter Empel, twen- ty-elght years old, was found lying in- sensible in Union square. He had slipped on the icy pavement and sus- tained a fracture of the hip and had heen lying helpless a long time before he was found. He is in a hospital in a critical condition. Sixteen-year-old Charles Jackson also is in a serious condition at a hospital as a result of exposure. In about twelve hours the tempera- ture dropped from 30 degrees above zero to 4 degrees above. A high wind came with the cold wave. TWO HUNDRED HOMELESS Village of Twin Lakes, Minn., Wiped Out by Fire. Albert Lea, Minn., Jan. 31.—Secur- ing an uncontrollable start fire de- stroyed Twin Lakes, a village situ- ated on the Minneapolis and St. Louis railroad nine miles southwest of here. Not a structure was left standing and almost the entire population, number- ing over 200, are homeless as a result. The village has no fire fighting ap- paratus and was able to offer little resistance to the flames, which, in but a short while, had destroyed all the houses and stores located on the main- street. The majority of structures were frame buildings and only fur- nished food for the fire demon. Yarmouth Divorce Case. London, Jan. 31.—Sir Birrel Barnes, president of the divorce court, has fixed the hearing of the suit brought by the Countess of Yarmouth, who was Alice Thaw of Pittsburg, against her husband for the annulment of her marriage for next Wednesday after- noon. The attorney for the Countess of Yarmouth, in making the applica- tion, said the case would be short. Two Burglars 8hot, One Fatally. Chicago, Jan. 31.—Two burglars were shot, one of them fatally, by Christopher Paulsen, a baker in the shop of J. J. Larsen. Both men were captured. One of them, Thomas Fraw- ley, was shot in the head and the other, John Armour, was shot in the #bdomen and in the face. Armour caanot live. HENEY ATTACKS FULTON.

Laurence Fledler, noted as one of the most ad- vanced women in France in matters relating to social life among the work- ing classes, is fn America on a tour of inspection in the interest of the French government. Mme. Fiedler has carofully studied trade school. for women, nurse schools, settlement work and tenement reform work since she has been in America and now in- tends to devote considerable time to the work being done toward stampi out tuberculosis. To make these studies she will visit manufacturing plants, textile works and mines i. various parts of the country. AN her observations will be reported to the various departments of the French Mme. Fiedler is partic- unlarly interested in trade schools for women which she has seen. “New York trade schools for women have the right idea,” she said, “the idea ‘we have never grasped in France. The girls have an opportunity to reach a higher standard, attain higher ideals and the chance for creative work. You teach the girls to apply the scl- ence they absorb in school.” SUPREME COURT THE ISSUE Minnesota’s Attorney General on the Presidential Campaign. Minneapolis, Jan. 31.—That the ap- pointments to the United States su- preme court are the real bone of con- tention in the presidential campaign was the argument of Attorney General E. T. Young in a speech before the Fourth Ward Republican club. Or- ganized predatory wealth, he charged, is seeking the nomination of presiden- tial candidates who will appoint judges sympathetic to the idea of the cen- tralization of power in the federal government. There are four judges on the bench now who on account of age and infirmity will probably retire during the next presidential term. It is important, he asserted, that men be nominated for the presidency who will not appoint judges favorable to the idea of the centralization of govern- ment. KILLED HER STEPFATHER Jury Acquits Fifteen-Year-Old Mich- « igan Girl. Cadillac, Mich., Jan. 31.—In the cir- cuit court here it took a jury just ten minutes to find a verdict of acquittal in favor of a fifteen-year-old girl charged with manslaughter. Pearl Harper was charged with killing her stepfather, Melvin Thompson. She had been under $4,000 bail since she surrendered herself to the authorities soon after the death of Thompson. The latter, it was brought out by the glrl's defense, had come home intoxi- cated in the night and had threatened to kill both the girl and her mother, the girl hreaking his skull with a stove poker when he attempted to carry out his threat.

MORSE Is Capitalized at $120,000,000 and Its Promoter Planned to Control Prac- tioaily the Entire American Atlantic Coastwise Business. New York, Jan. 31.—Application has been made in Maine and in this city for the appointment of a receiver for the Consolidated Steamship company. A representative of the bondholders’ protective comnmittee said that the suits have been brought by creditors Who are not unfriendly to the com- pany and that it is believed a receiver- ship will best protect the security holders and other interests concerned. It is also arnounced that the proceed- ings do not affect the Clyde, Mallory, New York and Porto Rico or New York and Cuba lines, the resources of which are considered to be ample. The lines aftected principally are the Met- ropolitan and Eastern Steamship com- panies. The proceedings will come up be- fore the United States circuit court in Maine on Feb. 4, when application for the appointment of a receiver will be deoided. The Consolidated Steamship lines, organized under the laws of Maine, was formed by Charles W. Morse to carry out his plans looking to the con- J:( CHARLES W. MORSE. trol of practically the entire Amer- Ican Atlantic coastwise business. The aggregate capitalization of the com- pany consists of §60,000,000 collateral truat 4 per cent bonds and an equal amount ‘in stock, making the grand total $120,000,000. g Up to within a comparatively few months the ambition of Morse ap- peared to be in a fair way toward realization. One after another half a dozen of the big companies which op- erated steamships along the Atlantic coast and from New York to Cuba and Porto Rico had come under his direct command. With the financial orash of October, which carried down several financial institutions in which Morse was heavily interested, support DON'T EXPERIMENT, You Will Make No Mistake if You Follow This Bemidji Citizen’s Advice.

STATE OF SIEGE POSSIBLE Political Situation in Argentine Seri- ously Strained. Buenos Ayres, Jan. 31.—The polit- feal situation arising {rom the strained relations Lelween President Alcorta and congresz, due to the senate and house of deputies refusing to deal with the matters for which they were espe- cially summoned and to their omit- ting to sanciion the annual budget, a course which was followed by an ex- ecutive decree closing the congress, remajns practically unchanged.

I owned a common shepherd dog which was a very intelligent ani- mal anrl was of great assistance to me in the newspaper business, run- ning across the street with papers in his mouth to customers. He attracted much attention, and he got me many new customers, for everybody liked him, he was such a business dog. I was sick one day and not. able to sell my papers. My dog came in my room where I lay in bed. He fumbled around in my pants pockets and took the keys to my news stand and ran ! out of the house, and the first thing I knew he had the newspaper stand opened up and doing business. He was very clever in making change, changing five and ten dollar bills without a single mistake, work- ing the cash register with his paws, and everything ran smoothly until a man came up and passed him a lead quarter. My dog got mad and lost his temper entirely, and I was forced to Interfere. With much trouble I man- aged to pull them apart. If this dog had not had such a quick temper I would have started him In business for himself. This dog is still living.—Boston Post.
