That is, the practical part of it. A constant stream of water from one or more fire engines will soon extinguish or get under control a very large fire, while a few bucketfuls of water, dashed on here and there, have very little effect. The modern fire depart- ment is practical, and has outgrown the bucket system; and so with modern advertising—plenty of it, used in a practical, common-sense and judicious manner, pays. If you want tocatch a certain kind of fish, you use a certain kind of bait. Notall fish bite at all kinds of bait. Not all people respond to every advertisement. The newspaper is a medium indispensible to the majority of advertisers, becauseof its wide and repeating circulation. As a promoter of trade and profit news- paper advertising is no longer an open question; that is, when done in a practical and intelligent manner, and pays because of its effectiveness and cheapness. It is said that dancing makes girls’ feet large. It is also said ice cream soda makes freckles. And now an eminent medical authority asserts that hanging on the front gate or lying in a hammock pro- duceés rheumatism. A few more opinions of the “laity” and the good girls of our land won’t have any fun at all. Virginia Enterprise: The post- office department is said to be con- sidering the idea of having all letters stamped withthe weather forecasts of the day when received at their des- tination. Such a2 move would prove a popular -one, especially among the farm sections and would not inter- fere with the ‘'private business of citizens, as does the printing of stamped envelopes at 2 loss by the government. BRYAN SAVES HIS GUIDE Also Seoures Twenty-two-Pound Pike While Fishing. Muskegon, Mich., {fune 21.—While angling for bass from a rowboat on Muskegon lake Willlam J. Bryan saved his gulde, John Conners, from an in- voluntary ducking. Bryan was in the city to deliver a lecture in a circus tent and was the guest of a party of leading business men on a fishing trip. Conners lost his balance and was half overboard when Mr. Bryan seized him around the walst and pulled him back into the boat. A twenty-two pound pike, the second largest caught this season, rewarded Bryan’s piscato. ral efforts. GOMPERS SAILS FOR EUROPE Blg Crowd of Friends at Pler to Say Goodbye. New York, June 21.—Samuel Gom- pers, president of the American Fed- eration of Labor, sailed on the steam- er Baltic for Liverpool. Mr. Gompers expects to remaln abroad until Sep- tember, attending several labor con- gresses and studying Industrial con- ditions in Great Britain and on the Continent. More than 1,000 persons, persona friends and officlals of labor organ izatlons, were at the pier to bid Mr Gompers goodbye. He was heartily rheered by the crowd as he boarded the steamer. Mr. Gompers spoke feel ingly of the demonstration. Declines Spain’s Proposal. Havana, June 21.—Secretary of Btate Velez, in reply to Senor Soler, the Spanish minister, has declined to consider Spain’s proposal that Cuba assume a portlon of the Spanish na. tional debt. r A Practical Joke. He was a wag and was passing a large draper’s shop in Manchester. There, drawn up, were three or four vehicles, and among them was a closed brougham with the driver fast asleep on the box. Evidently the mistress ‘was inside the shop, Without a word the wag stole quickly up and, opening the carriage door, carefully slammed it to. In an Instant the coachman straightened himself up and gazed up the street as if he had never scen any- thing more interesting to look at in his Ufe. Then be stole a look over his shoulder and saw the wag standing, bat in hand, apparently conversing with some one inside the carriage. “Thank you, yes. Good morning,” sald the practical joker and bowed Jimself graciously away from the door, turning as he did so to look at the eoachman and say, “Home!"” “Yes, sir! Tch! Get up!” And away went the brougham home. ‘Where that home was, who the mis- tress of the carriage was or what she did or sald when she came out of the shop or what the coachman did or sald ‘when he stopped at the door of “home” and found the carriage empty—all that only the coachman and the lady know. —London Tit-Bits. LEVIES FIFTEEN PER CENT DUTY Senate Cofimifiw Presents Hide Schedule. CLAPP OPPOSES ' CHANGE Asserts Tariff on Product WIll Tend to Perpetuate the Beef Trust and Declares Hls Constituents Are Pa- trlotic Enough to Give Up Any Ad- vantage to Be Gained In Order to Destroy Combine. Washington, June 21.—The finance ‘eommittee’s amendment to the hide paragraph of the tarlff bill saw the Ught in-the senate for the first time, being presented there by—Chairman Aldrich. It levies a tariff of 15 per cent ad valorem on “hides of cattle, raw or uncured, whether dried, salted or pickled,” with a provision for a drawback equal to the duty when ex- ported in the form of leather. The amendment is in the language of the Dingley law and the effect it to take hides from the free list, where the house left them. Senator Clapp, objecting to a duty on hides, asserted that the duty would tend to perpetuate the beef trust. He declared that his constit- uents were patriotic enough to give up any advantage they might reap SENATOR MOSES E. CLAPP. in the possible higher price of hides in order to help destroy a trust. “How about the leather trust?” in- uired Senator Warren. Continuing, o sald before the beef trust came into being hides were so cheap that armers could not market them. Now, he added, hides bring a higher price and shoes are not higher in price. “If we can get two trusts by the ears and knock their heads together I think that is the better way,” sug- gested Mr. Warren, who could see no advantage in placing hides on the free list to injure one trust while the other would thrive by the action. CONSENT TO POSTPONEMENT Advocates of Income Tax Will Wait Until Bill Is Completed. ‘Washiagton, June 21.—Senator Bal- loy, speaking for himself and most f the Democratic and Republican in- come tax advocates, announced at the opening of the senate session that he would consent to postpone the dis poral of the income tax question until after the tariff schedules are dis: posed of. After debate had proceeded for halt an hour an order postponing the sub- Ject was suggested by Mr. Bailey and agreed to. The formal presentation of the matter was made by Mr. Al drich and it took the form of a unani mous consent to defer the entire in- come tax and corporation tax ques- tions until the schedules are out of the way. At that time Mr. Bailey’s amendment for an ircome tax and the committee’s substitute will be taken up and kept before the senate until disposed of. Senator Borah suggested to Mr. Al- drich that the finance committee should not delay in bringing in its plan for a corporation tax, as consid- erable time would be required to dis- pose of it. “I may as well say now as any time,” replied the Rhode Island sen- ator, “that the committee has request- ed the attorney general to prepare an amendment and under the direction of the president he will do so, giving us, no doubt, a provision largely re- flecting the views of the administra- tlon. As soon as it is considered by the eommittes it will be reported to the menate.” Mr. Bailey suggested the irregular- ity of the proceeding. “I understand,” he said, “that bills to ralse revenue originate in the house of representa- tives and not in the White House.” Czar 8ends Gift to Engineer. Helsingfors, June 21.—Emperor Nicholas has sent $100 to Coyne, the engineer of the British steamer Wood- burn, who was slightly wounded when that vessel was fired on Wednesday night in Pitkipas bay by a Russian torpedo boat for approaching too close to the rendezvous of Emperor Nich- olas and Bmperor William. SENATE ADDS A _PROVISO Mecte Canada’s Plan to Prohibit Ex- portation of Logs. ‘Washington, June 21.—This coun- try will be prepared to meet the move made by Canada looking to the prohi- bitlon of the exportation of her logs into the United States if the amend- ment suggested by the committee on finance to the wood pulp paragraph of the tariff bill shall be agreed to.. As #oon as the senate had for the time disposed of the income tax question, Senator Aldrich presented the com- miee’s amendment on pulp. The house bill provides a graduated scale of duty for the varlous kinds of pulp ‘when imported from countries mak- ing an export charge, but admits free of duty mechanically ground pulp coming from a country in which no such charge is made. The senate sub-: stitute accepts the house provision, but adds a proviso intended to be a .response to the recently announced decision of Canada not to permit the further exportation of logs from that country, the evident intention being to compel the manufacture of such logs in the rogion of their origin. KING PRESENTS THE COLORS Brilliant Scene Occurs at Windsor Castle. London, June 21.—Great Britaln’s territorial forces, reorganized out of the crowd of untrained and unrelated units which in the form of militia and volunteers have been for generations the country’s only army for home de- fense, passed out of their embryonic stage when King Edward, at Windsor castle, presented their colors to the representative battalions of this civil- fan army. ‘The ceremony was a brilliant one. Three sides of the castle lawn, on which so many historic scenes have been witnessed, were occupied by troops clad in every varlety of uni- form worn by the different units com- prising the 300,000 men who consti- tute this new force. On the fourth side of the lawn was the saluting base, where, in the presence of King Edward and Queen Alexandra, a large gathering of members of the royal family, peers and commoners and dele- gates to the imperial press confer- ence, the colors were first consecrated and then handed over to the various color parties by the king. DIRECT STEAmSHIP LINE TO NORWAY Capital Furished by Norwe- glans and Americans. New York, June 21.—The announce- ment that the proposed direct line of mail and passenger steamers between this port and Bergen, Norway, would be established by Norway alone was made by Consul General Christopher Ravn of this port. It had originally been the inten- tlon to have Sweden and Denmark share in the financing and manage- ment of the line, but this plan has been abandoned. Under the new project only Nor- wegian and Norweglan-American cap- ital will be used. The sum to be raised is $10,000,000, of which half hag already been subscribed in Norway. The Norweglan government has pledged a subsidy of $500,000 and the prospects for a profitable operation of the line are sald to be excellent. The proposed line will make possi- ble travel between New York and Norway in less than nine days, in- stead of eleven at present consumed. DRIVEN FROM VILLAGE BY MOB Experience of Bishop Bonacum and Two Priests. Ulysses, Neb., June 21.—Right Rev. Bishop Bonacum of the Catholic dio- cese of Lincoln, Father O’Brien of Seward and Father Kline of Brainerd were driven from this village by an angry mob of between 200 and 230 people. The bishop and his priests had come to Ulysses to formally take possession of the church here over which Father Murphy has held charge. Sympathizers of Father Murphy, both Catholics and non-Catholies, join- ed the mob and would have done vio- lence to the bishop and party had it not been for the efforts of Father Murphy, who counseled the mob to do no violence and who requested that the visitors be let alone.

DEVELOPMENTS IN CASE Miss Elsie Sigel, the Victim, Said to Have Been on Intimate Terms With One - of the Celestials Wanted. 8overal Thousand Letters From American Women Found in Room ef One of the Orientals. New York, June 21.—Messages have been sent by the police to Colon and Panama to hold up the party of Chi nese who left this city a week ago en route to Vancouver, B. C., in the hope of arresting Leong Lee Lim, alias William H. Leon, who occupled the room in Eighth avenue in which was found the trunk eontaining the body of Miss Elsle Sigel, missionary among the local Chinese, and grand- daughter of the famous general, Franz Sigel. The police discovered that Leong Lee Lim started for Vancouver, via Panama, a week ago, the day on which he was last seen at his room over the Eighth avenue chop suey restaurant. In the party for Van- couver 18 said to be also Li Chung, who occupied the room adjoining that which rovealed the gruesome tragedy and in which wes found some of the murdered girl’s clothing. Orders were issued to arrest him also. From the condition of the bedy and other facts it is belleved the crime was commit- ted at least a week before the body was found. From Mrs. Margaret Todd, a mis- slonary. who first introduced Miss Sigel into the work of converting the residents of Chinatown to Christian- ity, the police learned that while the young woman taught Leong Iee Lim the creed of Christ he at the same time learned ta love her. Only Twenty Years of Age. Miss Sigel had been engaged in mis. sfonary work among the Chinese of this city for a few years, having be- come interested therein by the ac- tivity of her mother in behalf of the Christianization of the Orientals. The young woman was about twenty years old. Mrs. Florence Todd, one of the mis- slonary workers in the Chinese sec- tion, whe identifled Miss Sigel’s body, told the police that the girl and Leon had been thrown much together for a few years and that Leon was greatly enamoured of the girl; that he was intensely jealous of her and disliked her to receive the attentions of other men. This had caused Miss Sigel to fear Leon, Mrs. Todd said. That Leon had. other correspondents than Miss Sigel was discovered when between 1,500 and 2,000 letters, main- ly from various women in New York and other cities, were found in his room. Among the number were some signed “Elsle,” which were described by the police as love letters. The contents of most of them was not re- vealed by the police, but in one of them “Hlisie” reproached Leon for causing trouble between her father and herself. “Just think of the sac- rifice I have made for you,” she wrote in one letter. A notebook belonging to Leon, con- taining the names and addresses of hundreds of women and girls, was found in Leon’s room. SIX MAY DIE AS RESULT Lightming Strikes .

New York, June 21.—Ferty-five per- sons who have died recegtly form the basis of a most rematrkable report on bringing the dead back to life, ac- cording to the Medical Record. Of the forty-five cases treated under the new theory of manipulating the heart by the hand seventeen patients were resuscitated, nine with complete re- covery. The remaining eight died after a short time, Forty of the cases treated are said to have been due to the anaesthetic administered. The re- port says that in each instance im- mediately after death ensued, nor not more than five minutes afterward, the chest was opened and the heart was given a direct application of manual massage. “After the chest cavity has been opened the hand is forced in and the heart is grasped and pushed toward the anterior thoracic walls,” accord- ing to the Medical Record, “and the ventricles are squeezed rythmically at about the normal rate of heartbeats. Sometimes fully fifteen minutes elapse before any response is obtained. Dur- ing all this time assistants should be busy with artificial respiration, saline and adrenalin infusions, tongue trac- tion, intubation or trachaeotomy, and elevation of plevis and legs.” NO TRACE OF POISON FOUND Young Married Couple Apparently Died Natural Death. Williamsport, Pa., June 21.—The mysterious death of Mr. and Mrs. Al- bert 8. Munroe, bride and groom of a week, has been explained by Cor- oner Hardt following an autopsy. No traces of polson were found; instead the conclusion was reached that the young woman had a fatal attack of heart paralysis and dropped dead at her husband’s feet. The husband was overcome, the coromer declares, and also suffered a heart attack, falling forward with his face in the bed cloth- ing and smothered to death. The bodies were found in their apartments. Mr. and Mrs. Monroe were married June 10 and had just returned from their wedding trin, Caught Alive.
