Telephone 371 CITY OPERA HOUSE Friday, Aug. 6 A Night with Faking MEDIUMS Do Spirits Return Through Mediums Perils of Our Dwelling House The scholars in one of the Fuchow Chinese schools were recently desired to write an essay in English on the subject of “Which Are the Healthier, Chinese or Foreign Dwelling Houses?’ One young man “spook” about the matter with his “friends,” and they sald that the *“Chinc.g building is much better than foreigners.”” This, he adds, was the “senses of their de- bate:" “The foreign building is too heigh and coverless and always built on the top of the hill. In the summer time it recelves the most heat from the sun. The people who living in it is the same as putting In the stove, but in winter it is fully filled by the sharp air which cut the faces of whom living ‘n it. So that the foreigner is compeled to put themselves on fire. The fire would do our bodies harm. As we were prepared our dinner; we put the beef on the fire by and by the beef dry in that case the of course man would dry too.”"—London Telegraph. Walt Whitman’s Pride. Whitman's grandmother was a Quaker, and the bard had been all his life used, Quaker fashion, to sitting in the house with his sombrero on if it sulted him to do so. One day, with a friend, he cntered the gloomy and half empty precincts of Trinity church, New York, and took a back seat in the obscurity and for a moment forgot to remove his hat or was probably just about to do so when an officlous verger stepped up and requested him to take it off. Walt, a man of immense pride, not seelng fit to do so instantaneously or being very slow in his mental proc- esses, was taking the matter into con- sideration for a second when the verger knocked the offending hat off his head. Walt picked up the huge felt and, doubling it together, smote the fellow vigorously twice or thrice with it on the head and slowly left the church, the réd faced sexton fol lowing and threatening him with the law. Mozart’s Skull. “If we were all constituted like Ham- let and could bandle a skull as philo- sophically as he” writes a sentimen- talist in a Hamburg paper, “we could visit the Mozart museum at Salzburg, enjoy the sights it effers and leave there without finding any fault. Un- fortunately, however, we are not so cold, and therefore the protest which I make. Among the Mozart souvenirs ‘which are pointed out to the visitor, in the same line with the ¢ld plano, let- ters, manusecript musie, portraits, ete., s the skull of the great master. It matters little whether the skull is really that of the composer or one used for show purposes. The fact remains that in the Mozart town, in Balzburg. there seems to be no one who can make the city fathers believe that the exhibition demonstrates a lack of rev- erence which shocks many people.” Afloat on Hot Alir. Members of the house of representa- tives are fond of poking fun at the florid style of speech affected by a cer- tain congressman, who invariably con- tributes much “hot air” to any debatn in which he may participate. On one occasion the politiclan in question ventured to alr his views touching a financial act under consid- eration, when he drew the following ribald observation from an opponent: “Our able and adventurous friend has undertaken to present his views upon this question. In this he’ re- minds me of a beautiful swan breast- ing the sea with arched neck and. wings outspread to catch the glint of the sea, moving along in serene and stately splendor, but blissfully uncon- sclous of the unfathomable depths be- low.” He Explained. At a school one day a teacher, hav- Ing asked most of his pupils the dif- ference between an island and a penin- sula without recelving a satlsfactory answer, came to the last boy. “I can explain it, sir,” said the bright youth. “First get two glasses. Fill one with water and the other with milk. Then catech a fly and place it in the glass of water. That fly is an tsland, because it is entirely surround- ed by water. But now- place the fly in the glass of milk, and it will be a peninsula, because 1t is nearly sur- rounded by water.” The boy went to the top of the class, Fulton’s Power of Thought. Robert Fulton possessed to a remark- able degree the power of concentrated thought. He studied French, Itallan and German and acquired a proficien- cy in the three languages. Higher mathematics, physics, chemistry and perspective also demanded his atten- tion as he progressed in scientific re- search.—Century. Not Led. “So she was led to the altar at last?” remarked the girl in blue, “Led!” repeated the bride’s dearest friend. “Led! I fancy you didn’t see her.- She didn’t have to be led. When she started down the aisle you couldn’t have driven her off with a regiment of cavalry!”—London Telegraph. Small Change. “It's three years since I was in this city,” said the stranger as he fin- ished his dinner. “City looks the same.” “I don’t find much change,” remark- ed the waiter as he took up the dime that was left from the dollar bill.— Puck. 5 The Midnight Sun.

STOCKHOLDERS ARE WILLING Agree to Chicago Great Western Re- organization Plans. New York, Aug. 4—The plan of re- organization of ‘the Chicago Great Western Railway company has been declared operative, This announce- ment was made by J. P. Morgan & Co., who stated that there had been deposited more than 97 per cent of the debenture stock and a large ma- Jority of other classes of stock, mak- ing 75 per cent of the total stock is- sues deposited under the plan. Addition to Ranks of Strikers. Pittsburg, Aug. 4¢—The strike situ- tlon at McKees Rocks assumed more serlous proportions when 165 of the men sent here by the Hudson River company to complete a number of cars for use in the new Manhattan subway Joined the strikers. About Eggs. N In a her’s egg only one-fifth of the substance i nutritlous, one-ninth part is refuse, and the remainder, the great- er portion, Is water. ‘White shelled eggs are not quite as good as yellow ones, for they contain a trifle more water und a little less fat. But your purveyor knows this and fre- quently colors his wiite eggs with cof- fee. Judged by the amount of nutriment, a goose’s egg Is the most valuable. Next In order are ducks’, guinea fowls’, hens’, turkeys’ and plovers’. Eggs con- tain a large quantity of sulphur, which is purifying to the blood and good for the complexion. To get the best egg you must feed your fowl on grain, and to cook it in the most digestible way you must not boil the water. Heat the water to 180 degrees and leave the egg in it for ten minutes. You will then digest every morsel. But if you boll it for three minutes no less than one-twelfth of it will fall to be digested. Thus if you eat two eggs boiled for three minutes every day you waste five dozen in a year.—London Mail. The Leopard and the Pan. One day a worthy Kulu housewife came out from her cooking and, stand- ing on the ledge of rock at her door, emptied a pan of bofling water into the rank herbage growing below. It fell, splash, on the back of a sleeping leop- ard, who jumped perpendicularly into the air as high as the roof of the hut. ‘What might have happened next? ‘Who can say? But the astonished wo- man dropped the pan with a clang up- on the rock, and the leopard took one leap downhill. The pan followed, and the leopard’s downward leaps became longer and swifter as the pan bounded after it from rock to rock. ‘When last seen the leopard had just achieved a leap of about 350 feet to the very bottom of the ravine, thou- sands of feet below, and the pan had whirled about 500 feet over it on the oppostte side. The leopard would have eaten the old woman with pleasure, but a pan which first scalded half the hbide off him and then bounded clanging in his wake from the top of the Hima- layas to the plains below was some- thing which™ he could not face.—Lon- don Chronicle. A Mexican Tradition. “Boys, what’s the matter? Fever? Dle, then; die, then.,” That's the song the doves sing down In old Mexico when a native has penumonia, and almost invariably he lies down, refuses to swallow the medicine prescribed by the physician, resigns himself to his fate and in a few weeks he dies. The dove, however, sings the song in Span- ish. It is a tradtiion among the Mex- fcans that once the fever accompany- ing an attack of pneumonia selzes them it is necessarily fatal, and be- cauge of this all medicine and all phy- siclans are refused and the Mexican usuglly dies. The dove brings the story of death in its weird cooing, ac- cording to the belief of the natives, and many who have been seized with the fever who otherwise might have recovered have succumbed owing to thelr belief In the tradition. That 18 the reason, it is said, why penumonia is fatal to so many Mexicans.—New York Herald, The Only Explanation. Old Mrs. Smith was a chronic com- plainer and was constantly sending for the farmily physician and giving him a Ust of her fancied ailments. He al ‘ways listened quite patiently, but was getting a little tired of hearing the same things over and over. One day when the old lady consid- ered herself In an unusually bad way she sent for the doctor and, after go- Ing over the usual list, ended by say- Ing: “Really, doctor, 1 do not know whast in the world is wrong with me. I can nelther lay nor set.” The doctor looked at her a moment, then said in a solemn tone, “Madam, you must be a rooster.”—Kansas City Independent. Wanted Something Quicker. Some few years ago I issued a pol- ley on the life of a man who was far from being a model husband. I called for the premium every week and rare- Iy got it without a grumble from the wife. The last time I called she said: “I ain’t going to pay you any more. There’s Mrs. Smith only had her old man in M.’s society three months, and he’s dead, and she’s got the money. I'm golng to put my old man In that, 50 you needn’t call again.—Liverpool Mercury. Flattered Him. “I feel sure Miss Smith is in love with you,” said a lady to her brother. “Do you? It sounds too good to be true.” “Well, I heard her say yesterday that plainness in a man is not really a fault, but a sign of character.” Seedless Fruits. Science so far has failed to furnish any explanation of the mystery of seedless fruits. They are not the out- come of the work of man. Man per- petuates them. He does no more. The seedless orange was found in a state of seedlessness.—Vegetarian. Comforting. Condemued Man (to his lawyer)—It's a long sentence, sir, to be sent to pris- on for life.

MINNESOTA DAY AT SEATTLE FAIR Unveiling Bust of Hill the Principal Feature, JOHNSON MAKES ADDRESS State Executive Declares it Is Time the West Threw Off the Shackles of the East and Claimed for Itself the Position in the Halls of Gon- gress to Which it Rightfully Entitled, Seattle, Aug. 4.—Minnesota cele- brated her day at thke Alaska-Yukon- Pacific exposition Wy unveiling a bronze bust of her most distinguished citizen, James' J. Hill, the railroad builder. John A. Johnson, governor of Min- nesota, came to.Seattle to deliver the principal address and unloose the cord that bound about the monument the flags of Japan, Great Britian and the United States. The crowd present at the ceremo- nies seemed to confirm a saying that Minnesota has contributed more peo- ple to the new state of Washington than has been done by any other state. In addition the number of Min- nesotans present as visitors to the new state was unprecedentedly large. Be- sldes Governor Johnson and his staff and Mayor James T. Haynes of Min- neapolis the visitors included several hundred residents of the Twin Cities, ‘who made the long journey to be pres- ent at Minnesota’s day of glory at ths fair. The exercises were held in the world’s fair auditorium. Judge Thom- as Burke of this city presided and Bishop E. J. O’'Dea offered a prayer. Addresses were delivered by Colonel Alden J. Blethen and former United States Senator John L. Wilson. Governor Johnson’s Address. Governor Johnson was then intro- duced. He said in part: ‘“The time has come for the West to throw off the shackles of the East. I would preach no sectional divisions and no sectional strifes, but Minnesota and Washington and the states between them, with these to the south of us, should arise in their might and claim for themselves that fair share of influence in the halls of congress and in the administration of national affairs to which are entitled by every law of common sense, as well as of political economy. “We, as an integral part of the American people, should cast our in- fluence and our votes not only to ad- vance the’ material interests of our own particular section, but we should be broad enough and big enough to labor for the common good of our -common country. “We have in the states west of the Mississipp! the undoubted balance of power, no matter under what name the national administration at Wash- ington exists. In the years that have passed our population and our mate- rial wealth have not enjoyed that rep- resentation to which they are entitled, and, furthermore, our leaders have been content to follow in no small measure the leadership of men who represent relatively small constituen- cles and smaller commonwealths.” The speaker declared that the call of the West, among other things, is the call for emancipation from the dominion of the trusts and political machine. He denounced what “he called “fifty years of national folly in the enactment of navigation laws and high protective tariffs,” and declared that the “great army of Western-yeo- men demand no fostering hand of gov- ernment and ask only for that justice and freedom to which they are en- titled by natural right under the guar- anty of our constitution and our flag.” Harriman Greatly Improved. New York, Aug. 4—Private cable advices were received here that B. H. Harriman's health is greatly fim- proved, his condition being better than in several years. It was learned that, barring a change in plans, Mr. Harriman will reach here about 8ept. 10. KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS MEET Annual Convention of Order Opens at Mobile, Ala. .

MOYER CHOSEN EIGHTH TIME Again Head of Western Federation of Miners. Denver, Aug. 4—Charles H. Moyer was unanimously lected president of the Western Federation of Miners.

TURBULENT SGENE IN _ PORTUGUESE GORTES Violence Follows Vote on Re- ligious Suppression, ¥ Lisbon, Aug. 4—Free thinkers from all political parties in Portugal, repre- sented by a liberal committee, pre- *sented to the cortes a petition for the suppression of the religious orders of Portugal and for the abrogation of the existing laws against freedom of con- sclence. The committee was accompanied to the house of parliament by an im- mense crowd and some wild scenes ensued. Senhor Camacho moved the consideration of the subject and when the motion was voted down the gal- leries broke out in protestations. There was considerable violence on the floor of the house. The deputies engaged in a struggle in which desks and chairs were overturned and twice the chamber had to be cleared. Theo tumult was continued in the streets, but without serfous results. WILL VOTE TO QUIT WORK Expected Outcome of Referendum of Chicago Street Car Men. Chicago, Aug. 4—All furloughs in the police,department have been can- celled and every man ordered back to duty following the action of the em- ployes of the Chicago street railways in deciding to hold a referendum vote Thursday on a -proposition to call a general strike. Such action would affect all the sur- face lines in the city and suburbs and would practically tie up street car traffic. From the expressions of the em- ployes at thelr mass meetings at which the referendum was decided upon it appears to be certain they will vote to strike. This was indi- cated in the bitter addresses of all the speakers and by the unanimous rejéction of the offer of the Chicago City Railway company to arbitrate ‘wage differences or to sign new agree- ments with the men under existing conditions. SALE OF LIQUOR STOPPED Labor Situation Becoming Serious in Sweden.
