A smile lurked at the corners of Mrs. Lombard’s mouth as she listened to the plaint of the school friend whom she had not seen for more than ten years. “I'm afrald, dear,” she sald, “you'll have to recomstruct some of your plans. You see, I married a for- getful man too." “Why, you told me not ten minutes ago that your husband had never yet forgotten your birthday or your wed- ding anniversary,” cried her friend, “and you told me youd been married npearly eleven years! That's ever slnce the year after father took us all abroad.” “Yes,” sald-Mrs. Lombard demurely, *“I have. That's a long time, isn't it? But, you see, one thing was in my fa- vor—I was born on the Fourth of July. Mr. Lombard couldn’t very well forget the national holiday. And as soon as I'd found out how forgetful he was I deciied to be married on an- other holiday. “I suppose as you were abroad you didn’t realize that the date of my wed- ding was unusual—people aren’t often married on the 22d of February, I think. But, you see, by a little ju- diclous planning I've been saved the necessity of reminding him about our anniversary.”—Youth’s Companion. Sweetly Thoughtful. The De Jones back lawn was a lawn in name only. It was really an arid desert—bald, so to speak—and In dry weather it was always as dusty as a motor track. To the astonishment of Mrs. De Smythe, who lived next door, she one day saw her devoted husband turning the garden hose upon the De Jones’ “lawn.” “Well, I never!” she exclaimed. “I'm sure I wouldn’t trouble to lay the dust n the De Jones’ back yard, John, es- pecially as they are such a hateful lot of gossips. Small thanks you'll get for your trouble anyway.” Hubby turned to his better half with a smile which told of mixed pleasure and vindictiveness. “That’s all right, my dear. Thelr @arling little Fido was washed snow white this morning. Now he’s out there rolling ‘about like a barrel and rubbing the mud well into his fleecy ecoat. Trust your husband, my sweet, for real. unadulterated thoughtful- mess!”—London. Scraps. Women and “Sport.” ‘When a big shoot takes place in the coverts near one of our country houses the occasion 18 made a sort of soclety gathering. The ladles of the house party grace it with their presence, and other ladles of the neighborhood are glad to be allowed the honor of such company. Thus a large and fashion- able party assembles, and while each beat I8 in progress the girls and _wom- en try to look on unmoved while a wounded hare kicks and squeals upon the ground for minutes which seem In- terminable to the sensitive onlooker unt] the beat Is over and the dogs are loosed to finish off the cripples. And, though the hare’s piteous shrieking makes its case seem the worst, the mere tumbling over and over of a wounded bird is a shocking sight to see as the time passes and no one goes forward to release it of its life.—Lon- don Mall. A Criterion. “What is a synonym ?” asked a teach- or. “Please, sir,” sald the lad, “it's a word you can use In place of another if you don’t know how to =pell the oth- er one.—School Board Jeurnal. Used Up. Digby—How long did it take you to Jearn to run a motor car? Skorcher— Oh, five or six. Digby—Five or six what—weeks? _Skorcher —- No; motor ears—Catholic Standard and Times. FOUR FIRES AT SAME TIME Property Worth $200,000 Destroyed at Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Feb. 7.—Four fires in this city, all burning at the same time, caused demage estimated at $200,000. The first fire staried on the freight steamship Arctic of the Merchant and Marine Transportation company and caused §5,000 (damage to the steamer. Before the flames on the steamer were extinguished some of the fire companies were summoned to the drug store of Jacobs Bros., which was dam- aged about $76,000. The Macey Furni- ture company, adjoining, was damaged about $10,000. The third fire occurred at American and Locust streets, where a large three-story building occupied by pub- lshing firms was completely burned out. the loss amounting to $100,000. ‘While firemen were battling with the flames at the other three places a fourth five started in a dwelling occu- pled by Frank Bauer. Three other dwellingy were damaged and in al’ twenty persons were driven from their homes and forced to seek shelter from a snow storm elsewhere.’ THAW TO STAY IN ASYLUM No Move for His Release to Be Made at Present. New York, Feb. 7.—No immediate move will be made to secure the re- lease of Harry K. Thaw from the in- sane asylum at Matteawan, according to an interview credited to A. Russell Peabody, Thaw’s personal counsel. It has been practically decided that there is no way under the law by which Thaw can be confined in a pri- vate sanitarium instead of the Mattea- wan institution and his lawyers and family are said to have agreed that it would he unwise to ask for his release now. Martin W. Littleton, who con- ducted Thaw’s defense in court, has left for a six weeks’ vacation in Flor- ida and it is possible that no move will be made in the case before his return. It is said that the physicians at the asylum will not recommend Thaw’s release until they have had from sixty to ninety days in which to observe him. MACLEAN TO BE SET FREE British Government Will Pay $100,000 for His Release. Tangier, Feb. 7.—Caid Sir Harry MacLean, who has been in the hands of Bandit Raisuli for the past seven months, is now within four hours ride of Tangier and probably soon will be released. The British government has finally succeeded in bringing their ne- gotiations with Raisuli to a close and in return for the release of Caid Mac- Lean will pay $100,000 to Raisuli and guarantee him protaction and im- munity. Mother Kills Two Children. Haverhill, Mass., Feb. 7.—Mrs. Eliza- beth Stevens killed her little daughter and son, cutting their throats with a razor, When arrested Mrs. Stevems, it is said, declared she thought it was for the best that the children should dle Mrs. Stevens is believed to be insane. Dodging Thirteen, “When I lived in New. York,” writes a former New Yorker from Berlin, “there was a house near Central park which should hawe borne the number 13, but because of the superstition of the occupant permission was secured to place the number 1la or 15a over the door. I spoke of the circumstance a few days ago and learned that the thirteen superstition was more clearly marked here. In the instance men- tioned by me an Individual was con- cerned. Here it was the most impor- tant corporation in Wiesbaden. There is no No. 13 bathroom In any of the bathhouses, no No. 13 room in any -ho- tel and no No. 13 place at any table d’hote. AtLangenschwalbach the baths, under government control, also have bath cells No. 12a where they should be numbered 13."—New York Tribune. A Worthy Antagonist. “Did you visit any of the old caves when you were up in Scotland?’ Jor- kins was asked by a friend. “Yes,” replied Jorkins reminiscently, “and, by gum, we had to forcibly pull Marla out of one cave.” “Good gracious! She was fascinated by its beauty, I suppose.” “No, it wasn’t beauty. You see, there is a wonderful echo in the cave, and Maria couldn’t bear to think of the echo having the last word.”—Liverpool Mercury. His Eminence. A French cardinal, being small of stature and hunchbacked at that, al- ways gave the keenest repartee when addressed with “highness” and “emi- nence.” “My highness is five feet two Inches, and the emlnence I carry on my back.” Seemed Incomprehensible. Mrs. Somer—What delicately con- structed things these big steamships are! Mr. Somer — Why do you say that? Mrs. Somer—Just think of the breaking of a screw disabling the whole ship.—Philadelphia North Amer- lean. Poor Jones! Missfonary—Can you give me any Information about Deacon Jones, who labored among your people three years ago? Cannibal—Well, the last I heard about him he had gone into consump- tion.—Judge. A Spanish proverb declares that “a papelitos (a paper cigar), a glass of clear water and a kiss from a pretty girl will sustain a man for a whole day.” Well Occupied In Either Case. It is beautiful to see a young girl start out with the avowed intention of devoting her life to teaching school, and yet few people blame her seriously when she quits to get married.—Tomb- stone Epitaph A Hypocrite. Teacher (after explaining the charac- ter of the Pharisee}—And now what do Wwe mean by a “hypocrite?” Pupil— Please, miss, a man wot says he is wot he isn’t, but he ain't--Puuch. ~ ATTITUDE IS LIBERAL New Regime in Pertugal Winning Confidence of the People, POLITICAL PRISONERS FREED Decrees lssued Nul ifying the -Dicta- torial Repressive Measures Inau- gurated During the Administration of Former Premier Franco. Lisbon, Feb. 7.—A very good im- pression has been created among the people Ly the decrees issued by the new government nullifying the dicta- torial repressive measures that still were in force from the Franco regime and the confidence of the press and the public in the new ministry is growing. This attitude of the government was well exemplified in the release from prisen of three deputies, all prominent Republicans, who were incarcerated the latter part of January charged with plotting against the state. Nothing can be learned in this city regarding the exact where- abouts of ex-Premier Franco. Some say-that he has fled the country and gone to Madrid, but in other quarters it is alleged that he is still in hiding in Lisbon and that if he does get free of the country he will make his way to Switzerland. It is evident that he is in fear of his life. A Republican newspaper of Lisbon says that France has transferred his entire fortune to French or Swiss banks and that his ultimate destina- tion is Switzerland, where he pur- poses to live with his family. This paper points out that the decrees is- sued by Franco banishing agitators from Portugal have been voided and that Franco himself is the only man who hus really been forced to flee the country. It is reported in court circles that Queen Amelie and King Manuel are considering a visit to Spain or Eng- land when the home situation im- proves sufficiently. There are very few emblems of mourning to be seen and the fact that neither the officers nor the soldiers of the local garrisons wear crepe on their arms Jjs commented upon by the for- elgners in Lisbon. WOULD FARM KING'S PARK Band of Unemployed Marching to Windsor Castle. London, Feb. 7.—A little band of unemployed men who have marched all the way from Manchester have reached London. Their destination is Windsor, where they propose te take possession of a portion of the great reyal park. It is their purpose to build cottages and farm the lands which surround the castle of the king. The demonstrants hope to obtain their desires peacefully and on arriving be- fore the castle they propose to send in & petition to King Edward asking him to give an example to the landowners of the country by granting them the use of fifty acres of the park for ex- perimental purposes. FIVE FIREMEN INJURED. Blaze at Racine, Wis., Causes a Loss of $120,000. Racine, Wis., Feb. 7.—Five firemen Injured and a loss of $120,000 was the result of a fire that broke out in the clubrooms of the Racine club in the Alshuler block. The injured men were [taken to the hospital and will recover. The fire was caused by a defective electric wire in an elevator and rap- idly spread to the clubrooms. * Eight men were on the ladders on the south wall of the structure when it fell, five sustaining: severe injuries. The Dan & Sol Clothing company, the Harbridge Grocery company, the Racine club and the Zahn Dry Goods company suffered the bulk of the loss. THREE PERSONS DROWNED Ice Gorge Floods Lower Section of Dillonvale, O. Dillonvale, O., Feb. 7.—Heavy rain caused the ice in Short creek to gorge and at the Dillonvale Athletic park a bank of ice thirty feet high formed. This changed the course of the stream and water and ice covered the lower portion of the town to a depth of fif- teen feet. Tifty families escaped from their homes by horses and boats and it was but a few minutes until the first floors were submerged. Two Polish boys and one girl were drowned. Tells of Attempted Blackmail. Chicago, Feb. 7. — Mrs. Minnie Hirsch, a niece of Mrs. Dora McDon- ald, was again a witness in the trial of Mrs. McDonald. She testified that Webster S. Guerin, for whose murder Mrs. McDonald is on trial, had at- tempted to blackmail her aunt and she said she heard Guerin ask the for- giveness of Mrs. McDonald for his part in the attempt to extort money from her. Approves Confederate Monument. Washington, Feb. 7.—In expressing regret at being unable to attend a lecture on “Castles in the Air,” to be delivered here by Senator Taylor of Tennessee for the benefit of the monu- ment to be erected to the Confederate dead at Arlington, President Roose- velt heartily endorsed the movement for the monument. REVIVAL OF CONFIDENCE. Reports Indicate Increasing Industrial o Actlvity. New York, Feb. 7.—Increasing in- dustrial activity is indicated by re- ports from some of the big manufac- turing supply companies covering the month of -January. An official of one of the big manufacturing concerns-said that the January volume of business was larger by considerable than that for De¢ember, while a prominent man- ported orders three fmes farger January than in December. Frem these facts industrial experts argue a revival of confidence already estab- lished, particularly as orders for power machinery indicate needed enlarge- ment or extension in productive de- partments. HOTEL MEN ARE UPHELD. Have Right to Bar Women Unless Ac- companied by Men. New York, Feb. 7.—That hotel men of New York have the right to refuse food and entertainment to women after 6 o'clock at night when unac- companied by a man was the verdict of a jury in a test case brought by Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch, a well known suffragist, against the Hoffman House corporation in the Twelfth dis- trict court, Judge Fred Spiegelberg presiding. Mrs. Blatch brought suit for $500 against the hotel because on July 12 last service was refused to her be- cause the hour was past 6 and she ‘was unaccompanied by a man. MATTER WILL BE DROPPED Shonts ““Smuggling” Case Carried to the White House. New York, Feb. 7.—The treasury de- partment, it is learned, will take no further action following the raid by customs inspectors on the home of Theodore P. Shonts for alleged unde- clared gowns imported from Europe by Mrs. Shonts and her daughter, Miss Theodora Shonts, who is to marry the Duc de Chaulnes on Feb. 15. The seareh of the Shonts home re- sulted from information placed before Colonel Edward S. Fowler, the col- lector of the port. Many elaborate SHONTS. gowns and other finery were inspected by the customs men and their investi- gation formed the basis of a report submitted to the collector. Colonel Fowler in return made a report to George B. Cortelyou, secretary of the treasury. . Mr. Shonts is said to have given his version of the affair to Pres- ident Roosevelt and is said to have satisfied both the president and,Secre- tary Cortelyou that no cause exists for the confiscation of the gowns on the charge of smuggling. It was said on high authority that the case will be dropped. DENIED BY THE COURT. Application to Examine Books of Schwarzchild & Sulzberger. New York, Feb. 7.—The application for either a peremptory or alternative writ of mandamus to compel the Schwarzchild. & Sulzberger company and its officers to permit Moses H. Joseph and other minority stockhold- ers to examine the books, papers and other vecords of the corporation- was denied by Justice Greenbaum in the wupreme court, with costs. The ap- plication was based upon allegations of waste and diversions of tbe cor- porate funds by Ferdinand Sulzberger, the president. Continuous Round of Pleasure. Punta Arenas, Feb. 7.—The social gaiety in connection with the presence here of the American fleet of battle- ships under Rear Admiral Evans con- tinues unabated. Dinners and dancing, excursions and receptions follow one another in quick succession, the Amer- icans trying to repay the hospitality of their Chilean hosts and the Chil- ‘eans striving constantly to put their visitors further in their debt. Stoessel Verdict Postponed. . Petersburg, Feb. 7.—The hand~ ing down of the verdict in the case of Lieutenant General Stoessel, who has been on trial here for having surren- dered the Port Arthur fortress, has been postponed until Feb. 10 on ac- gount of the illness << the president of the court.

London, Feb. 7.—The general meet- iIng of the representatives of the trans- atlantic steamship companies here de- cided upon the broad lines of a mutual wgreement.

Baron Takahira Discusses Japanese- American Relations. London, Feb. 7—“I know of no truer friends of Japan than the Americans and our excellent relations and knowl- edge of one another will insure an amicahle outcome at an early date of the negotiations still in progress.” Such is the message that Baron Ko- goro Takahira sends to America on the eve of his depariure to assume the ambassadorship of Japan at Washing- ton. The baron will sail for New York from Liverpool Saturday on the steamer Etruria. He said: “Although certaén newspapers have spoken in a pessimistic vein regarding our relations I have never attached the slightest importance to these utter- ances and with my knowledge of America’s attitude during the Russo- Japanese war and of her relations to us in our earlier and more modern times I havé never dreamed of the pos- sibility of war beiween the United States and Japan. Such a thing is un- thinkable ju this period of the world’s nistory. I have not a particle of doubt regarding America’s sympathy toward us and T fully believe that a satisfac- tory solution of any questions be- tween the two countries will be reached at an early date without much difficulty.” Will Oppose Candidates Antagonistic to Labor Movement Indianapolis, Feb. 7.—John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers, when asked in regard to rumors to the effect that there had been inaugurated 2 movement to endorse the candidacy of certain aspirants for the presidency of the United States and for other political offices stated that so far as he knew there was no foundation for these rumors. He said, however, that the members of the Miners’ union, to- gether with all trades unionists affili- ated with the American Federation of Labor, were interesied actively in the election to all legislative, judicial and administrative offices of men who were known to be sympathelic to the rea- sonable demonds of the wage earners of the country. “It fcllows, therefore,” said Mr. Mitchell, “that they would oppose the candidacy of aspirants for political honors who are known to be unsympathetic or antagonistic to the labor movement.” EXCLUSION OF ORIENTALS Pacific Coast League Sends Memorial to Congress.
