Cunningham, the regular meeting of the Brotherhood of David was held. A short business session was|’ held, and much important business was transacted. Then Miss. Carrie Hayden led the boys in a number cf games, after which a lunch was served. Twenty-eight of the fifty members were present, and several new members were initiated. The Nine Tailor Saw. The tailor—he was a cutter at a big salary—sighed as he looked about his |- luxurious apartment. “She refused me,” he said. “Why? Because she didn’t love me? No. Be- cause of that old saw about its tak- ing nine tailors to make a man. And that saw is a mistake. It is.a cor- ruption of ‘nine tellers mark a man.’ It doesn’t signify that tailors are ef- feminate. It simply shows that man- kind is liable to error. The toll of a bell in the olden time was called a teller, and in the olden time the church bells tolled nine times for every man’s funeral; hence the saying ‘nine tellers mark & man’ In our stupidity we have corrupted that into ‘nine tailors make a man’ or ‘it takes nine tailors to make a man.’” The cutter sighed. “This rank error,” he said, “dooms me to bachelorhood.”—New Orleans Times-Democrat. Suicidal Flying Fish. The Indiar ocean is singularly de- void of fish and bird life, but one night dozens of flying fish flew on board s vessel there. They were attracted by the lantern on the foremast, against ‘which they dashed and fell stunned to the deck. In appearance they are very like a sand mullet. The wings resem- ble an extended dorsal fin and open and shut like a lady’s fan. Not only are they edible; they are a dish for an epicure.—Sydney (N. S. W.) Freeman’s Journal. He Enjoyed the Rest of the Game. “Now, that is what is known as a safe hit,” volunteered the escort, “and entitles the runner to take his place on the second base.” “Yes,” responded the damsel, “and if that duffer had the base running abil- ity of an ice wagon he'd have stretch- ed that bingle into a three bagger.”— Louisville Courier-Journal. The Duchess’ Philosophy. The old Duchess of Cleveland fnvit- ed a relative to her husband’s funeral and told him to bring his gun, add- | ing, “We are old, we must die, but the pheasants miust be shot.”—Sir Al- gernon West's Reminiscences. o No Resemblance. “Woman and cats,” said the youth- ful boarder, “are alike.” “Wrong, young man,” said the cheer- ful idiot. “A woman can't run up a telegraph pole, and a cat can’t run ID a millinery bill” F11908 W“““""’“} A 8ly Dog. The late Dr. James Freeman Clarke used to tell this story of his dog: “At one time my dog was fond of golng to the rallway statlon to see the people, and I always ordered him to go home, fearing he would be hurt ky the cars. He easily understood that if he went there it was contrary to my wishes. So whenever he was near the station if he saw me coming he would look the other way and pretend not to know me. If he met me anywhere else he always bounded to meet me with great delight. But at the station it was quite different. He would pay no attention to my whistle or my call. He even pretended to be another dog and would look me right in the face without apparently ‘recognizing me. - | He gave me the cut direct in the most impertinent manner, the reason evi- dently being that he knew he was dolng what was wrong and did not 1ike to be found out. Possibly he may have relled a little on my nearsighted- ness in his maneuver.” The Care of Goldfish. The Secret of success In caring for goldfish is to keep the water they are in fresh and sweet. Thelr globe should be emptled and its water renewed as often as every second day. Lift each fish out gently in a glassful of water, empty the globe, wash it out, then put in fresh water and put the fish back agaln. Clear, sweet rainwater should be used, and its temperature should be raised to 75 or 80 degrees by warming a part of it. Sparkling well water Is too cold for the fish to thrive in and too pure, for the animalculae of rain water form an important part of the foud of these fish. They need no other sustenance than a very few bread crumbs sprinkled in their water dafly, for overfeeding will kill them very quickly.—Housekeeper. Professor Blackie's Opinion. A correspondent sends an' anecdote concerning the attempt of a serious minded lady ‘to lure Professor Blackie into giving his opinion of Sankey's hymns at a time when they had an enormous vogue. The lady was giving the professor lunch, and he tried to fob her off by praising a Stilton cheese on the table. Some time after the lady sent him a copy of Sankey and a plece of the cheese, hoping thus to draw him. She succeeded to the extent of these four lines of verse: Thrice blessed is she that hath done what she could ‘To make a lean man fat and a bad man good— For lho body, cheese; for. the soul, San- For both, thankee. —Glasgow Herald. The Broken Bottle Symbol: The breaking of a bottle over the bow of a vessel at launching seems to be taken by many people as having a convivial, a sort of here’s-looking-at- you significance, but nothing of the kind s meant; neither has it any asso- clation with Christian baptism, for the name of a man-of-war is given months before the launching. The real thing typified is sacrifice. Building a town or setting a ship afloat was a sol- emn matter away back in the dim past, and such an act was not to be under- taken without devoting a life to pro- pitiate the gods. Our refined and hu- mane civilization no longer dares to offer up a prisoner or a slave on such occasions, and therefore a bottle is broken to symbolize the taking of a man’s life.—United Service Gazette. HITCHCOCK MAY LEAVE GABINET Said fo Be Slated for First Sen- ator From Arizona, Washington, Feb. 26.—There fs good reason to believe that Postmas- ter General Hitchcock will make room in the cabinet for some one more ful- ly in accord with the views of Presi- dent Taft. The recent clash over pat- ronage between the insurgents and the regulars, which caused the presi- dent considerable embatrassment, was laid to Mr. Hitchcock and he did not deny raising the storm.. The presi- dent then gave Mr. Hitchcock to un- derstand that the White House must be consulted on all matters relating to patronage in the postoffice depart- ment. - The talk is that the postmaster gen- eral will quit-the cabinet just as soon as the new postoffice appropriation bill is signed. He will go to Arizona and there are rumors of an already well formed plan for Mr. Hitchcock to be one of the first two United States senators from the new state. It is said that Mr. Hitchcock, with Royal A. Smith, James T. Williams, Sidney Bleber and several other men prominent in Republicanism, -has gained control of the Daily Citizen, a newspaper in Tucson, and that at an early date five new daily Republican papers, committed to Hitchcock, will be put into the field in Arizona. ATTACK ON NONUNION MEN Strikebreakers at Steel Works Are Roughly Handled. South Bethlehem, Pa., Feb. 26— Strikers and their sympathizers re- sorted to disorderly methods to pre- vent men from going to work at the Bethlehem steel works where a part of the working force has been out for three weeks. The strike sympathizers gathiered near the gates of the plant and many of the workmen who at- tempted to pass were roughly handled. So far as can be learned no one was seriously injured. Find Child Burned to Death. Marshalltown, Ia., Feb. 26.—Lucile Harrison, aged five years, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Homer Harrison, {iv- ing five miles from here, was burned to death while stuffing paper in a kitchen stove. Her parents were ab- sent from the house at the time. Re- mmmg they found the child dead on ‘the figor. S heart” BRAND WHITLOCK, Toledo's Mayor Declares for Syffrage for Women. INDIFFERENT ONES TO BLAME Mayor Whitlock of Toledo Argues for Woman Suffrage. New York, Feb. 26.—“Those who re- sort to the home and woman’s sphere arguments against woman suffrage are the very ones who stay least in the home, who know least about the home,” said Brand Whitlock, mayor of Toledo, O., at a meeting of the Equal Franchise society. “Their idea of it is that home is a wigwam with modern conveniences and woman is a well dressed squaw. The sodden in- difference of women themselves to this cause is one of the greatest dif- ficulties we have to overcome. The indifferent ones are those who live out of check books and who have no conception of what life is.” NUMBER OF PERSONS SUSTAIN INJURIES Wall Crashes Into Glassroom - at Minnesota “U.” Minneapolis, Feb. 26.—Professor James E. Moore was painfully hurt, six students were slightly injured and most of the thirty-six members of the Junior class in medicine at the state university bruised and cut when a por- tion of the wall left standing by the fire in Millard hall last Christmas eve weakened in the strong wind and crashed through the temporary roof over the third floor of the right wing into the classroom. The injured men were pinned be- neath a mass of wreckage when the crash came without warning. With the air filled with powdered plaster and flying brick and splinters a panic resulted and the men struggled and fought for a chance to get out of the room. When once clear of the build- ing and convinced that the rest of the building was not going to collapse they rushed back and franticaly dug out their imprisoned classmates. Mr. Moore was, taken from the de- bris unconscious, with several painful cuts on the head, and whisked to the university hospital in his own auto- mobile. Since the fire on Christmas eve, which practically gutted Millard hall, the universjty has been cramped for space. In order to accommodate the medical students a temporary roof of inch-thick boards and tar paper was built over the third floor of the right wing and the room fitted up as a lec- ture room. A portion of the unsup- ported wall six feet high, fifteen feet long and eight inches thick, towering above this temporary roof, became loosened by the strong wind, weak- ened, swayed and, after a drop of fifty feet, crashed through the tem- porary roof, which offered -little more resistance than so much paper, and dropped on the heads of the men in the classroom. 2 FIFTY THOUSAND_' STOLEN Thieves Chloroform Chickens Before Carrying Them Away. Kansas City, Feb. 26.—Aroused by the activity of a gang of chicken thieves that is said to have chloro- formed and stolen 50,000 chickens in Wyandotte county, Kan., since last Christmas, the Wyandotte: County Horticultural society has offered a $500 reward for the arrest and convic- tion of the perpetrators of the crimes. It is said that the thieves soak rags in the drug, apply the rags to the nos- trils of the chickens, put them to sleep and remove them from the roosts ‘without even so much as a squawk. Immense Railroad Shops Planned. Elkhart, Ind., Feb. 26.—Announce- ment is made by Master Mechanic Foster of the Lake Shore and Michi- gan Southern railroad that that road is to begin shortly the construction of a $3,000,000 locomotive and car shops here. The shops, according to the announcement, will be the largest in the West, having sixty-five acres and will employ over 3,000 men. Wisconsin Educator Dead. Ripon, Wis., Feb. 26.—Rev. Edward H. Merrell, professor emeritus and former president of Ripon college, is dead at his home here. He has been connected with Ripon college since it was incorporated half a century ago and was elected to the presidency in 1876. . Royal Flush Causés Death. , Carbondale, Pa., Feb. 26.—A royal flush, which Frank Constantino drew in a poker game, made him so ex- cited that soon after going to bed he died suddenly from what the physi- clans describe as “over-exertion of the TAFT RAILROAD BILL REPORTED Reaches Semate With Ap- proval of Committee. YOTE WAS SIX T0 FOUR Senators Clapp of Minnesota and Cum- mins of lowa Join the Only Two Democrats Present in Opposition to - the Measure—Absence of Other Mi- nority Members Alone Prevenhd an Adverse Report. ‘Washington, Feb. 26.—The adminis- tration railroad bill to create a court of commerce and amend the inter- state commerce laws was favorably reported by the senate committee on interstate commerce by the narrow margin of 6 to 4. Senator Moses E. Clapp of Minneso- ta and Senator A.B. Cummins of Iowa, both Republicans, voted against a fa- vorable report. The majority report will recommend the passage of the bill practically as it was revised recently by Attorney Generel Wickersham, 'The minority also will make a re- port. There were three absentees when the committee met. They were Tillman of South Carolina, Foster of Louisiana and Taylor of Tennessee. ‘With these three Democrats absent the outcome was a foregone conclu- sion, resulting as follows: - For the administration bill: Sena- tors Elkins, West Virginia; Cullom, Illinois; Aldrich, Rhode Island; Kean, New Jersey; Crane, Massachusetts, and Nixon, Nevada. Against: Senators ' Clapp; Minneso- ta; Cummins, Iowa; Newlands, Neva- da, and Hughes, Colorado. No contest was made against re- porting the measure, so far as the presentation of amendments was con- cerned. The majority of the commit- teemen had made it plain, following. the statement made by the attorney general, that they would support the bill in the form desired by the admin- Istration. The minority, therefore, contented itself with obtaining the adoption of a motion that any mem- ber might have the right to present his dissenting view thh the majority report. COLONY IN NORTH DAKOTA Dutch Syndicate Proposes to Buy Land for Countrymen. New York, Feb. 26.—Two represen- tatives: of an Amsterdam” syndicate, which proposes to buy a large tract of land in the West for colonization pur- poses, have reached New York from Holland. They will leave early next week for North Dakota, where they are to make extensive inspections of farming lands which have been of- fered them. s > The idea of the syndicate is' partly philanthropic. They will purchase the land and pay the traveling expenses of the Dutch farmer immigrants, allot- ing to them farms of equal size. The colonists, however, will be expected to repay the syndicate after a period of years. IS RECOMMENDED BY NAGEL Fund of $100,000 to Battle With “White Slavery.” ‘Washington, Feb. 26.—“The expen- diture of $100,000 a year in stamping | out the white slave trafic would be money well spent,” said Secretary Na- gel in submitting to the house & rec- ommendation that the total estimat. for regulating fmmigration be in: creased to $2,560,000 from $2,400,000. Mr. Nagel says the enforcement of the “white slave” traffic. bill, now. in conference between the two houses and expected to become a law i a few days, will cost $100,000 and that the work will have to be prosecuted differently from the ordinary immi- gration law enforcement.

New York, Feb. 26.—England is be- ginning to send shoes to this country.
