HYDE GIVEN THE Sentence Passed on Californian Con- victed of Land Frauds. Washington, Dec. 9.—Frederick A. Hyde of San Francisco, recently con- victed of conspiracy to defraud the United States of large tracts of land in Oregon and Washington, was sen- tenced in the District criminal court to pay a fine of $10,000 and to serve two years in the penitentiary at Moundsville, W. Va., the maximum penalty under the law. Joost H. Schneider of Tucson, Ariz, an em- ploye of Hyde and convicted with him, was fined $1,000 and sentenced to one year and two months in the penitentiary. Both noted appeals to the District court of appeals. Hyde was released on $20,000 bail and Schneider on $10,000. The prosecution of Hyde and Schnei- der, together with John A. Bemson | and Henry P. Dimond, who were ac- quitted, following the investization of alleged whelesale irregularities in public land deals in the West, cost the government $100,000 and the trial occupied three months.

Savannah, Ga, Dec. 10—P., 7. O’Connor, former national president of the Ancient Order of Hibernians and former national president of the Catholic Knights of America, is dead here. While on a fishing trip Mr. O’Connor was bitten on the hand by an insect and became very ill last Wednesday. Pneumonia later set in, causing his death. He was a prom- inent lawyer here. LIVED BEYOND HIS MEANS Statement Regarding Suicide of Vice Consul Ekstromer. St. Louis, Dec. 10.—A multiplicity of statements concerning the motives which have led to the suicide of Charles A. Ekstromer, late Swedish vice consul and manager of the local branch of the West Disinfectant com- pany, caused a positive declaration of conditions to be made by Harold K. Koppelman, general manager of the company’s branch. “My statement is true beyond ques- tion,” said Mr. Koppelman. “I am not yet prepared to give out the exact amount of the shortage in the ac- counts of the late manager, but it will be found between $5,000 and $10,000. “We paid Mr. Ekstromer a salary more nearly approvimating $5,000 a year than $2,500. He lived beyond his means, as I now learn. The money must have been taken since last De- cember.” Train Runs Down Hand Car. Deadwood, S. D, Dec. 10.—One man was fatally injured and several oth- ers seriousiy hurt by the collision of jan ore train on the Burlington narrow gauge line going east over the hill {from Lead.

Headaches WHY USE HEADACHE POWDERS AND OPIATES If a Pair of Glasses, Ground to Fit Your Eyes, Is What You Need Why suffer with poor eyesight, watering of the eyes, blurring in reading, if we can absolutely prevent it There Comes a Time when letters blur, when lines run together and reading becomes difficult, especially in the evening. This blurring is caused by the eye not being able to focus at the nor- mal reading distande, 14 inches. and this fact leads many to believe that glasses are unnecessary; but this is just the time the first pair of glasses are needed. By having your eyes fitted with the proper glasses diseases, cataract, blindness may be prevented. Why do some school children with good sight require glasses? Mainly to rest the eye. The eye does not obtain its growth until the child is about the age of 12. The growing ey= is taxed beyond its strength; the proper glasses rest and preserve The vision at a greater Drs. Larson & Larson make a specialty of examining the eyes, diagnosing defects, prescribing and fitting glasses. Consulting Hours fg-om_ 8_ a. m.to 8 p. m.

HELD T0 BE ADULTERATED Product Whitened With Nitrogen Per- oxide Cannot Legally Be Sold in Territories or Transported in Inter- state Commerce—Recommends the Suspension of Prosecutions for Six Months. ‘Washington, Dec. 10.—Secretary Wilson of the department of agricul- ture has announced his decision in the bleached flour controversy, hold- ing that flour bleached with nitrogen peroxide is an adulterated product un- der the law and that it cannot le- gally be sold in the District of Colum- bia or in the territories or be trans- ported in interstate commerce. Ow- ing to the immense quantity of bleacked flour now on hand the secre- tary will recommend no prosecutions of manufacturers or sellers for a period of six months from this date. CASTRO AT SPANISH PORT Will Remain on Steamer Until He Reaches France. Bantander, Spain, Dec. 10.—The French steamer Guadeloupe, with President Castro of Venezuela on board, came in here. It was learned soon after her arrival that President Castro will continiie on board the steamer to Bordeaux and that from Bordeaux he will travel overland to Berlin. President Castro has come to Eu- rope with the intention of settling all Venezuela’s international quarrels. The general health of the president is good. The mystery of the president’s trip to Europe was dispelled very soon after the Guadeloupe dropped anchor. The reports that Castro is critically ill, that he was deserting Venezuela forever, etc., were speedily pro- nounced absurd and it was declared that he came to Europe with the dou- ble purpose of being examined by European specialists and t{o settle Venezuela’s outstanding differences with foreign powers. As President Castro is his own minister of foreign affairs he is confident of being able to conduct the negotiations to {his end to a successful conclusion and he believes that he will return to Ca- racas in February with Venezuela at peace with the world. UNSPARING OF CASTELLANE Counsel for Princess de Sagan Bitter in Denurtiation. Paris, Dec. 10.—French society filled the courtroom in the palace of jus- tice to hear M. Julemier, speaking in the name of the Princess de Sagan, oppose the suit entered by Count Boni de Castellane, in which he petitions that the custody of his three children be given to his mother, the Marquise de Castellane. When Princess de Sa- gan, formerly Miss Anna Gould, se- cured a divorce from the Count de Castellane custody of her children was awarded to her. If M. Bonnett, speaking for -the count, did not spare Prince de Sagan a fortnight ago M. Julemier was no less denunciatory and bitter in his characterization on this occasion of the count. Castellane’s sole motive in entering this suit, he charged, was hatred of Sagan; the very thought of the prince occupying a place in the affections of his former wife and liv- ing in the superb mansion on the Ave- nue Malakoff goaded De Castellane to fury. The count, said M. Julemier, did everything possible to hinder the marriage of his former wife to De Sagan and, having failed in this, he was now seeking by every means in his power to bring discredit upon the D¢ Sagan household. CHURCH COUNCIL ADIOURNS Leaders Well Satisfied With the Prog- ress Made. Philadelphia, Dec. 9.—After a most successful meeting, during which many subjects of vital importance to the church were discussed and a long step forward was made in the move- ment to bring all Protestant denom- inations together! for united effort in spreading the gospel, the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America adjourned to 1912. The at- tendance has been gratifying to the leaders in the movement, every one of the thirty-three denominations identified with the federal council sending delegates to its sessions. The two subjects on the programme for the closing session were *Family Life,” which came before the council in the form of a paper prepared by Bishop Doane of Albany, and “Inter- national Relations,” in a report pre- pared by Henry Wade Rogers, dean of the law department of Yale unmiver- sity. MAY SEIZE CASTRO’S SHIPS Intimated Holland . Will Take More Drastic Steps. The Hague, Dec. 10.—The Nether- lands government apparently has not yet decided upon an exact course of procedure against Venezuela, but it is intimated here that the patrol of the Venezuelan coast by three Dutch war- ships, which began last week, may develop into more active measures in the event of any Venezuelan warship attempting to make an exit from port. Should any of President Castro’s ships find themselves on the high seas within range of the guns of the Dutch vessels there is a strong probability that they will- be arrested and taken into a Dutch ‘port. The international law on this subject is now being care- | fully cons! ffiad by Holland. MANY GOVERNORS PRESENT Conservation Commissidn Meets With State Executives. - Washington, Dec. 10.—The national conservation commission has begun a conference with the governors of the different states, with the probable re- sult that some concrete plan will be mapped out for the conservation of the nation’s natural resources. More than thirty states were repre- sented by their chief executives. Much of the time at the first session was de- voted to reports on water, forest, land and mineral resources, these being in the form of an inventory of resources, a work in which the commission has been vigorously engaged since the ‘White House conferénce last May. NEW REVOLUTION - BEGINS IN HAYTI Outbreak in Several Northern Towns of Republic. Cape Haytien, Hayti, Dec. 10.— There has been a revolutionary out- break in several of the northern towns of the republic and it is feared that the movement will spread. The principal towns affected are Port de Paix, Hinche and Jean Babel. Other points of minor- importance also, re- port outbreaks. General Robillard has left Plaisance for Gonaives for the purpose of suppressing the disorders. Tt isas et impossible to give the movement any definite object or aim or to determine in whose favor it is being organized. General Belliard, who was minister of war under President Hippolyte, has been made president of the committee sent out from Port au Prince to en- deavor to persuade the people of Cape Haytien peacefully to accept the new regime of General Simon. General Belliard is very unpopular here and his selection for this duty may bring about serious trouble. General Cincinnatus Leconte, who is credited with aspirations to the presidency, was to have left here for Port au Prince. At the last moment, however, he decided not to go and is still here. This General Leconte is not to be confused with the Leconte who was minister of the interior un- der Nord Alexis and who was errone- ously reported to have been killed at Jeremie at the beginning of the Simon revolution. SUE TO RECOVER ON NOTES Echo of Failure of Fidelity Funding Company. Pittsburg, Dec. 16.—While the au- therities of several Eastern cities are searching for J. P. Kieran, president of the Fidelity Funding company of New York, now in the hands of a re- celver, definite developments as to Kieran’s alleged operations are occur- ring in this city. Four suits were brought in the United States district court by Western banks against the makers of notes discounted by Kie- ran. The amounts, including protest fees, will reach $60,000. The defendants are the Ioly Fam- ily orphan asylum of Emsworth, Pa.; Rev. Jlan Apol Rydkaizowski of Brad- dock, Pa., and the Society of the Holy Family of Newcastle, Pa. The notes, it is alleged, were made in the spring and summer of this year. In each case the note was made to the Fidelity Funding com- pany and endorsed to the plaintiff by P. J. Kieran. THOUSANDS KNEEL IN DUST Body of Late Chinese Emperor Car- ried to Cemetery. Peking, Dec. 10.—The body of Kwang Hsu, the late emperor of China, was carried with much ceremony from the hall in the Forbidden City, where it has reposed for the last week, to the Coal Hill mortuary. It will here con- tinue to lie in state pending the loca- tion and- construction of the imperial sepulchre. The funeral cortege, bril- liant, barbaric and weird in the eyes of Western observers, was led by Prince Chun, the regent, for a short distance from its starting place and as it passed through the streets of the Imperial City thousands of mourn- ers knelt in the dust until the coffin was no longer to be seen. " Starting Early. ‘Wangles was married recently, and there was a regular hall of rice, con- fettl and old shoes for good luck as he got into the cab. Moreover, on turn- ing round he was struck above the eye by a friendly shoe with rather a heavy heel. As the cab immediately drove away no notice was taken of the accident, and, despite the large handkerchief tled by his sobbing bride over his in- Jured optie, the blood still lowed down ‘Wangles’ face. ‘When they arrived at their destina- tion the mewly created Bepedict went out to a doctor to get the bleeding stopped. “How did you come by this, my man?” “Well, you see, doctor—aw—I got married this morning, and”— com- mwenced - Wangles, when the doctor ‘broke in: - “What! Has she started already?'— London Answers. - Circumstantial Evidence. “You say you met the defendant on a street car and that he had been drinking and gambling,” said the at- torney for the defense during the cross examination. “Yes,” replied the witness. “Did you see him take a drink?” “No.” “Did you see him gambling?” “No.” “Then how do you know,” demanded the attorney, “that the defendant had been drinking and gambling?” “Well,” explained the witness, “he gave the conductor a blue chip for his car fare and told him to keep the change.”—Lippincott's Magazine. The Shillalah. The shillalalr owes Its name to the fact that the fiuest specimens thereof used to be grown in the pleasant groves of trees that formerly flourish- ed in the barony of Shillalagh, in County Wicklow. must be a root sprung sapling, for one taken from the branches of a full grown tree would lack the necessary toughness, Being trimmed and “prought to hand,” the young stick undergoes preparatory discipline by being placed in the chimney to season, thus becoming early acclimatized to the hot work in store for 1t. This part of the curriculum finished, it is rub- bed until completely saturated with ofl, after which it is securely wrapped in a stout sheet of brown paper and burled in a convenient hotbed. At this stage of its development it is an object of unceasing watchfulness on the part of its proprietor, who to fore- stall any detrimental warp in the ob- Ject of his care visits it daily, correct- ing any youthful tendency to depart from a straight line and ultimately se- curing as straight a bit of timber as heart could desire.—New York Trib- une. Hot Scotch. The young wife dipped the ladle into the porridge and smiled inquiringly at the overnight guest. “Will you have some hot Scotch, Mr. Dash?” she asked. Dash laughed. “Hot Scotch? Where is it?” said he. “Why, here, of course,” said the young wife in a perplexed tone. “Didn’t you know that oatmeal is called hot Scotch?’ “Er—I"— Dash stammered, and then the young husband caught his eye, and be was silent. “I didn’t know it myself till last year,” she explained. “I heard George inviting his cousin over the telephone to meet him at the office and have a hot Scotch. I didn’t know what hot Scotch was till you told me, did I, George?” George, very red, answered huskily: “No, my dear.” Laughing at her own ignorance, the lady proceeded to serve the thick, pale hot Scotch.—New Orleans Times-Dem- ocrat. Vicissitudes of a Picture. The vicissitudes of Leonardo da Vinci’s picture, “Last Supper,” re- minds a correspondent of the strange experiences of Holbein’s “Field of the Cloth of Gold,” which may be seen any day at Hampton Court palace. After the downfall of Charles 1., Crom- well-in order to raise funds proposed the sale of certain pictures, this among the number. The bargain was already made, but when the would be pur- chaser came to inspect Holbein’s mas- terpiece he discoyered that the head of Henry VIIL bad been cut from the canvas. He naturally withdrew his offer, and the picture was preserved to the nation. On the restoration a nobleman confessed to having com- mitted the theft for love of art and his country, and he returned the missing head, which now occupies its original position in the canvas. - The circle made by the knife is still plainly visi- ble.—London Chronicle. Cold Storage Rats. The attendant came out of the cold storage room with an awed look. “Rats are wonderful,” he said. “We thought modern plumbing would abol- ish them, but they live in the clean light and dryness of the best modern plumbing more comfortably than they did in the damp and filth and darkness of the past. We thought the modern ship would abolish them, but the Lu- sitania has as many rats as had the Columbus caravels. And here”— He made an awed gesture. “And here I find rats in our cold storage rooms at temperatures that freeze the breath and cause it to fall in the form of snow. To and fro they prowl. Thelr coats are thick and warm like fur, and, with frost on their whiskers, they feed heartily on meat and game frozen to rocklike hardness.” —Exchange. Fire Terms In Japan. Fires In Japan are go common that this destructive agency has established itself as a national institution, and a whole vocabulary has grown up to ex- press every shade of meaning in mat- ters fiery. The Japanese language has special terms for an incendiary fire, an accidental fire, fires starting from one’s own house, a fire caught from next door, a fire which one shares with oth- ers, a fire which is burning to an end, the flame of a fire, anything—for in- stance, a brazier, from which a fire may arise; the side from which to at- tack a fire in order to extinguish it; a visit of condolence after a fire. More Wheat to Come. A Chinese doctor, as a punishment for causing his patient’s death, had to pay ten loads of wheat. While carry- ing the grain he was met by a man who asked him to come and treat a sick member of his family. “All right,” sald the doctor, “I will be there short- 1y, but in the meantime you may be getting your barn cleaned out.”—Scrap Book.
