ON ADVICE OF COUNSEL Federation of Labor Abandons “We Don’t Patronize” List. New York, Dec. 29.—Notwithstand- ing the unanimous protest against the jall sentences imposed on Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison the Central Federated union here has received from Mr. Gompers & letter in which he notified the un- lons that he had discontinued, on the advice of counsel, the “we don’t pat- ronize” list in the future issues of the Federationist, the labor organ. Upon hearing this the Central Fed- erated union also decided, upon the advice of the chairman, to suspend its unfair list for a while. This was agreed upon at the same gathering where a resolution protesting against Judge Wright’s decision was adopted. COAL AND OTHER MINERALS Yellowstone Park Rich Deposits. Helena, Mont., Dec. 29.—Cleveland Hilson, manager of the Montana Coke and Coal comoany of Eldridge, says a large deposit of coal lies under the Yellowstone park. Speaking of the deposits he says: “Some day, probably within the next twenty or forty years, these de- posits will, I believe, be thrown open to development and operation. I have traced outcrops of coal several thou- sand feet in the park. There is no question but that millions of dollars’ worth of coal and other minerals are locked up in this national reserve and I look to see them opened one day.” NOT EMBITTERED BY 2 ADVERSE CRITICISM Rockefeller Has No Harsh Feel- ing Against a Living Soul. - in Natural New York, Dec. 20.—"If a combina- tion to do business is effective in sav- ing waste and in getting better results why is not combination far more im- portant in philanthropic work?” In this question is set forth the text of an article by John D. Rockefeller, head of the Standard Oil interests, published in the current issue of World’s Work. The general subject of Mr. Rockefeller’s article is “The Value of the Co-Operative Principle in ~ He goes on to describe in some de- tail the work of the General Educa- tion Board, which he said has made or is making a careful study of the loca- tion, aims, work, resources; adminis- tration and educational value, present and prospective, of the institutions of higher learning in the United States. The board, he says, makes its contri- bution, averaging something like $2,- 000,000 a year, on the most careful comparative study of needs and.op- portunities throughout the country. Jts records are open to all. Many benefactors of education are availing themselves of these disinterested in- quiries and it is hoped that more will do so.” In the course of his article Mr. Rockefeller says of himself: “Criticism that is deliberate, sober and fair is always valuable and it should be welcomed by all who desire progress. I have had at least my full share of adverse criticism, but I can truly say that it has not embittered we, nor left me with any harsh feel- ing against a living soul. Nor do I wish to be critical of those whose con- sclentious judgment, frankly ex- pressed, differs from my own. No mafter how noisy the pessimists may be we know that the world is getting better steadily and rapidly and that it is a good thing to remember in our moments of depression or humilia: tions.” MINISTER ENDS. HIS LIFE Buchanan (N. D.) Pastor Found Dead in His Room. Fargo, N. D., Dec. 29.—Falling to ar- rive at church, where a congregation had assembled for worship, a search- ing party was formed to locate Rev. Robert C. Dougherty, pastor of the Congregational church at Buchanan, N. D., a small town near Jamestown, and on visiting his apartments over the Buchanan State bank the minister of the gospel was found in a pool of his own blood. That he had commit- ted suicide was established beyond doubt, a razor with which he had ac- complished the deed being gripped in his hand, while a rambling note half explained the deed. ROBBERS GET MUCH LOOT Secure $30,000 in Jewelry and $5,000 in Cash. New York, Dec. 29.—The robbery of $30,000 worth of jewelry and $5,000 in cash from a safe in the jewelry store of Oscar E.

He hung there for several minutes, thirty feet from the ground, but his strength gave out before a ladder could reach him and he fell with the two little ones. McKay’s back and both legs were broken. Edith and John were comparatively uninjured. Mrs. McKay jumped from the window and received a broken arm. ACCUSED MAN ON STAND Attempt to Prove Alibi in Night Rider Cases. YUnion City, Tenn., Dec. 29.—When the state rested its case in the trial of eight night riders charged with the murder of Captain Rankin the de- fense began its attempts to prove an alibi for the men on trial by the in- troduction of Bud Morris, one of the accused men, as the first witness to take the stand for the defense. Mor- ris, as stated by Fehringer, was the captain of the Samburg branch of the “night riders” and had been identified on other raids by several witnesses. Morris stated that he had never been a member and knew nothing whatever of the “night riders.” Too Scarce to Throw Away. “They pipe water now through the burning Australian desert that lies be- tween the coast and the Kilgoorlie gold fields, a distdhee of about 250 miles, but in my day in that forsaken coun- try water was the scarcest commodity known,” sald a San Francisco mining engineer. “It was often hard to get enough water for drinking purposes, and the man who was reckless enough of his money to buy a bucketful for a bath was the talk of the community. I once indulged in this luxury, and wafter I had finished I noticed that the water was carefully collected again by the vender. ““What are yot going to do with it? I asked the man. ‘Sell it to some other fellow for half price; he answered, ‘and after that I'll sell it several more times, for, you see, it's too scarce, mis- ter, to throw away after only one or two men have washed In it’” Greeley's Writing, During the early part of the nine- teenth century the bad writing of great men became almost a byword. In fact, poor writing was considered by some people as almost a sign of genius. Horace Greeley was such a poor writ- times obliged to guess at his meaning. It is related that a reporter on the New York Tribune who received a -letter from Greeley discharging him present- ed it as a letter of recommendation to the editor of another paper. er that his correspondents were some-'| PACKING HOUSE PROBE BECINS Taken Ub by Federal Grand Jury at Chicago. MANY WITNESSES CALLED Investigation Will Be Thorough.and Is Expected to Continue for at Least Three Weeks—District = Attorney Sims, in Charge of the Matter, De- clines to Say What Course the In- quiry Will Take. Chicago, Dec. 29.—The federal grand jury has begun the hearing of evidence in the investigation of the packing house industry. Various em- ployes of the packing houses, who had been served with subpoenaes, were on.hand ready to testify. District Attorney Sims, who was engaged the greater part of last week in arranging preliminaries, declined to say before going into the juryroom fust what course the inquiry would take, whether it would be confined to the railroads and alleged rebating, or whether it was directed chiefly to as- certain what, if any, combination ex- isted in regard to the packing indus- try. At any rate it was intimated that the government intended to make its probing thorough. Harry C. Dowling, a department manager of the packing firm of Mor- ris & Co., appeared in connection with the alleged rebate investigation. Tes- timony in other cases occupied much of the time of the grand jury. Dis- trict Attorney Sims would not specify the number of subpoenaes issued in the rebaté investigation, although he said that many had been served in other cities. He said that none of the witnesses sought had attempted to evade service. The investigation will continue for at least three weeks. RESULT IS STILL IN DOUBT of Ohio Senatorial Fight Assumes Activity. Columbus, O., Det. 29.—Many mem- bers ef the Ohio legislature have ar- rived and the fight for the successor of Senator Foraker assumed an activ- ity that presages a week of strenuous exertions by the several candidates and their friends. There are all sorts of unconfirmed rumors, but the real situation, according to unbiased ob- servers, is that the senatorship is up in the air as much as last week, with both the acknowledged leading candi- dates, Congressman Burton of Cleve- land and Editor Charles P. Taft, brother of the president-elect, unable to secure epough votes to land the prize. The Burton following is claim- ing thirty-five votes on joint ballot. The Taft men will give no figures, but some of them admit that the elec- tion depends upon about sixteen un- pledged votes of members of the le; lature who have thus far refused to state their position as to a candidate. ALLEGED BY STOCKHOLDER Funds of Plantation Company Wrong- fully Diverted. Chicago, Dec. 29.—Charges that J. R. Marklay, E. D. Graves, D. W. Graves, John B. Welcome and Lee Mantell diverted large sums from the Mexican Plantation association to themselves.are made in a petition for a receiver for the association filed in the circuit court here by Joseph San- ders. Sanders alleges that the affairs of the association have been domi- nated by Marklay et al. and that an effort is being made to discharge the trustee of the property and transfer it to the Mexican Plantation company, incorporated, a new organization in which he, as holder of two certificates in the original association, has no in- terest. A large number of school teachers throughout the country are said to have been among the original stockholders in the association.

St. Paul, Dec. 29.—Geraghty & Co., Endicott building, one of the oldest commission brokerage firms of St. Paul, has suspended business.

Chicago, Dec. 29.—Walter Scott, otherwise known as “Death Valley Scotty” and “Scotty the Spender,” en- tered the United States recruiting office here and declared his intention of enlisting in the marine service. Scott came into prominence a few years ago when he arrived in Chicago on a special train with the announced intention of ridding himself of part of an unlimited fortune supposedly lo- cated in Death valley. His $10 tips to bellboys, wine suppers and other ef- forts to establish a reputation as the champion spender of the world occu- pied columns in the newspapers for a time. The source of his income was a matter of much speculation and has, it is said, never been cleared up. “I have set the pace long enough,” sald Scott, “and the life doesn’t agree with me.

Look out of a car window and observe how rapidly the . telegraph poles flit by. Bach one is seen and involuntarily fol- lowed by the eye until it is opposite, when the eye shifts to the one follow- ing. This is true of near buildings. Objects farther away seem to move glower, and those very far off seem to be almost stationary until the whole landscape appears to be revolving round a common center. The un- conscious effort to take- in everything produces a rapid lateral oscillation of the eyeballs, as - one can observe by watching the «,2s of his fellow passengers. The cye strain is enor- mous and is the chief factor in pro- ducing car sickness. This can be proved by asking a patient- who is subject to car sickness to look steadily at a mirror which is moved rapidly to and fro or tilted backward and forward. He will immediately com- plain of nausea and vertigo. The treatment consists of advising the patient to avoid looking out of the car windows and in giving him a grain of citrated caffeine shortly before he takes the cars and repeating it every hour as long as there is any tendency to be sick. The author has been en- abled by this procedure to relieve many sufferers from car sickness.— New York Medical Journal. The Ship’s Bell Clock. In its most ordinary form the ship’s bell clock is a stout, well made clock, a good timekeeper, contained in a round nickel plated case six or seven inches in diameter which is mounted on a board that can be hung on or screwed to a wall or bulkhead. The face of the clock, the dial, is of finish- ed steel, and its pointers are of blued steel, so that with its nickeled case the whole clock has a metallic, solid, serviceable look, Attached to a projection of the board upon which the clock is placed, out- side the clock and immediately below it, 1s the clock’s gong, with the ham- mers—there are two of them—brought down into it on arms extending through an opening in the clock’s case and striking on the gong’s inner side. It is a sturdy gong two or three inches in diameter, and it sounds with a strong, clear, resolute note when the hammer strikes it. On this clock’s face you can-tell the time in the usual way, but the hours are struck as they are at sea on a ship’s bell.—New York Sun. Fresh. There was no doubt about it. He ‘was very angry when he entered the village grocery store and demanded to see the proprietor. “You sold my wife some eggs yester- day, Mr. Peavey,” he said when the grocer appeared. “Waal, yes,” said Mr. Peavey genial- 1y, “believe 1 did.” “And you told her that they were fresh eggs,” continued the visitor. “Waal, yes; it seems to.me I did,” sald Mr. Peavey. “But, see here, Peavey, you had no business to say they were fresh eggs.” “Why not? I bought 'em for fresh —from Si Wiley too.” “I don’t believe it. Si Wiley’s an bonest man.” “Waal, 81 said it, all right. He come in here with his basket full of ’em and put em down on the counter and trad. ed ’em off for a box of sody biscuits.” “When was this?” “Oh, I dunno. ’Bout six weeks ago, I guess.”—Baltimore .American. How He Knew. A ragman who was gathering up wornout clothing in the country pur- chased a pair of discarded trousers at a farmhouse and remarked to the man of the house as he paid for the stuff he had bought: “I see, sir, that you are about to lose your land on a mortgage.” “Guess you are right,” said the dis- couraged looking farmer, “but will you tell me how the Sam Hill you found that out?’ “Easy enough,” said the cheerful ragman as he settled back on the seat of his peddling wagon. “I notice that these old pants are completely played out, so far as the part of 'em you sat down on is concerned, but they show mighty little wear anywhere else.”— Exchange. Just His Luck. “William, Freddie informs me that his teacher has decided to advance him from the sixth to the seventh grade owing to his fine deportment and his praiseworthy attention to his studles.” “Pshaw! That’s just my luck!” “Why, what makes you say that?’ “I had it all figured out that I was going to be about $10 ahead at the end of this month. Now it will be neces. sary to buy a new set of schoolbooks.” —Chicago Record-Herald. It was an awfully old joke, but the American thought it might cause his English friend to generate a smile. “Just before I sailed for Liverpool,” said the American, “I dreamed that I was dead, and the heat woke me up.” “So?” rejoined. the Englishman seri- ously. “The weather must be beastly hot in America.”—Chicago News.

BcTh 3 Hotel Grafters. The proprietor of one of the largest L hotels in New York, speaking of the uses made by nonpaying customers of his house, said to a rural guest a few days ago: “Wehave a Jarge number of patrons from whom we never collect a cent, although we have no such thing as a free list. They come here in the morning, pick up a castoff pa- ber, which they read, keeping an eye open for another, which they grab as soon as it is dropped. After reading awhile they stand at the ticker, often glving long lectures to their fellows on financial conditions and stock possi- bilities. The overcoat becomes burden- some, and it is' taken to the check room, where its owner knows it will bé perfectly safe. Then, if they can tear themselves from the ticker, let- ters are written on our stationery. They do not use our telephones be- cause we charge an extra 5 cents for the call, but they carry home matches, toothpicks, blank cards and blotters and use up the soap in our lavatories. They also take generous nibbles of the cheese and crackers in the cafe. The strangest part of all is this—that the majority of this class are well to do and highly respectable, and on that account we do not shut them out.”— New York Tribune. The Sleeping Sickness. The terrible sleeping sickness. of tropical Africa is discussed at length in an article in .Popular Mechanies. The disease, which long baffled scien- tists, is spread by the tsetse fiy, a bloodsucking, day flying insect. On the |- approach of either man or animal at a river crossing in the densest forest the victim is soon scented out by the fly, if there is one in the vicinity, and then, either silently or with a. peevish buzz, it makes straight for the most accessible spot and gives its stab. The usual course of the disease is from four to eight months. At the- outset there are headache, a feverish conditon, lassitude and a correspond- ing disinclination to work. The facial aspect changes,and a previously happy and intelligent looking negro becomes instead dull, heavy and apathetic. Later, tremor in the tongue develops, speech is uncertain, and mumbling, walk shuffling and progressive weak- ness, drowsiness and oblivion to his surroundings afflict the sufferer. The last stage is marked by extreme ema- clation and a coma deepening into death. Cause of Fatty Heart. The great danger from obesity les in the liability of the fat to invade the cellular elements of the body, especial- ly the muscles. This produces fatty degeneration of the muscular tissues, which greatly weakens and impairs their functional activity. When the fat Invades the tissues of the heart muscles the disease known as “fatty degeneration of the heart” results, and the patient Is in serious danger. When- ever a slight additional strain upon the circulation results from undue exer- cise, excitement or other cause the muscles interfere with the heart’s ac- tion, and it is liable to cease beating. Anaemia and hysteria often are accom- paniments of obesity. Because of the increased weight and difficulty of moving about such patients are pre- vented from taking an ordinary amount of exercise. Often, too, there are a lassitude and a positive dislike for muscular exertion of any kind.— ‘What to Eat. From Medicine to the Drama. The earlier part of Victorien Sar- dou’s career was beset with many trials and difficulties. Hls parents wished him to take up a medical ca- reer, and he began his studies with some zeal. The love of the drama, however, was far greater than the love of the pill box, and In the inter- val of the other work Sardou was busy upon a play. Life was a strug- gle for him, for he had little money, though he managed to get journalistic work to supplement his more slender Income. His first play was a fallure, and Sardou rushed from the theater vowing never to enter one again. He fell serfously ill, was nursed back to health by Mlle. de Brecourt, an ac- tress who lived on a floor below, and from that time his fortune was made. A Friend In Need.
