CUSTOM IS WIDESPREAD Suggests a Mass Meeting of All Candi- dates and Adoption of a Resolution to Go Before the Grand Jury and Tell Everything—Admits Paying $8,- 000 for a Job Worth $100 a Month. Danville, 111, Jan. 23.—City Attorney Frank Jones, who managed the cam- paign of Sheriff John M. Shepard, made a complete confession of the part he took in vote buying both in the primary and general election and he announces he is willing to go before the grand jury and tell all he knows. The confession was made after a con- lerence with his friends, who told him that under the circumstances it was the best thing he could do. Jones, who made his confession to several newspaper men and in the presence of friends, said that he had bought a large number of votes for Shepard and had kept a memorandum of the names of the men he bought and the amount paid each. Only a few days ago he had destroyed it, he said. However, he said that he be- lieved he could remember a number of them and he was willing to go be- fore the grand jury and tell them. Suggests General Confession. Jones also suggested that there be a mass meeting of all successful and de- feated candidates and ward captains and that a resolution be adopted to go before the grand jury and tell every- thing. Jones says there is no doubt in his mind that hundreds of names of men who have sold their votes are known to various candidates and poli- ticians and that they should be made to tell them. The confession has created a sensa- tion and it is expected that numerous others will follow from men who hope to receive an immunity bath from the state. Jones has long been prominent in politics and has been city attorney nearly two years. He admits that he used money in his own election, but does not remember the amount. He told one newspaper man that it would rTun almost to $8,000. His office pays $100 per month and is for two years. ITS PROVISIONS RADICAL Corrupt Practices Act to Regulate Illi- nois Elections. Springfield, Ill, Jan. 23.—Rich and poor candidates for public office will be put on the same plane of oppor- tunity should the mew corrupt prac- tices bill which State Semator W. Clyde Jones will introduce in the state legislature Tuesday become a law. Many radical provisions limiting campaign expenses are included, one being that money may be expended only by the candidate himself, or by his duly authorized campaign commit- tee, friends and “special interests” be- ing forbidden to spend 1 cent. The bill will also make it a felony for a candidate for the United States senate to give, loan or promise to loan money to any person to use influence to secure votes in the state legisla- ture. OCEAN RATE WAR FEARED Germans Alarmed Over Action of Ca- nadian Pacific. Berlin, Jan. 23.—News dispatches from Hamburg represent shipping cir- cles there as alarmed over the pros- pect of differences between the Cana- dian Pacific and other English lines affecting adversely the transatlantic shipping pool and perhaps resulting in a rate war. The Canadian Pacific's cancellation of all agreements concerning the Liv- erpool-Canada traffic would affect all lines, as a reduction In the passenger rates to Canada would divert traffic from the ports of the United States. TO USE TEXAS FOR TARGET Battleship Which Fought at Santiago Is in Scrap Heap Class Washington, Jan. 23.—The cruiser Baltimore has been ordered placed in commission by the navy department and within a week will leave the New York navyyard for Charleston to re- place the battleship Texas as station ship. The Texas will be sent to the Norfolk navyyard and converted into a target for heavy ordnance practice. Orders have been issued transfer- ring the officers and crew of the Texas to the Baltimore. Students Welcome New President. Minneapolis, Jan. 23.—A rousing and hearty reception was accorded Dr. George Edgar Vincent, president 'elect of the university, when, in the chapel, crowded as it has not been before since the time when the students were addressed by William J. Bryan in the spring of 1907, the new president spoke to the students in eulogy of Dr. Northrop, outlining his own general plans and policies. Raising Chickens, The suburban man was all sym- pathy. “What's the trouble, my dear?’ he asked as he came home and found his wife in tears. “P-trouble enough,” sobbed his young wife. “You k-know that five d-déllar incubator the man sold me? Well, it exploded today and blew all the chick- ens through the roof.” “Oh, well, cheer up, Martha. The man said it would raise chickens, and you see it did.”—Chicago News. THE HESSIANS. — They Were Good Scldiers, and Some Became Good Americans. There is a popular belief among some people that the Hessian mercenaries brought here by the British govern- ment to fight the Americans remained here after the war was over and that their descendants constitute a consid- erable eclement of the Pennsylvania Germans of today. Comparatively few remained, here after the war, because the British-government was under con- tract to return such as escaped the casualties of the war after it was over. The few that remained made good citi- zens, as they made the very best sol- diers against the Americans, and whenever it was practical to do so they were put in the most responsible places by the British commanders. The imatense hatred at one time against the so called Hessian soldiers, some of which still lingers with the present generation, Is very unjust, be- cause they did not volunteer to fight agalnst the Americans, but they were forced into the British service by the impecunious German princes who sold them to the British like so many slaves. The Hessian soldiers would sometimes take a notion to desert, and they invariably found refuge among some of the German colonists. A con- siderable number of them were left behind from time to time on marches, on account of sickness or wounds. These always found a ready welcome among German settlers; few of them ever found the way back to their na- tive land.—“Pennsylvania Germans,” by Willlam Beidelman. LIBERTY BELL. Its Connection With the Declaration of Independence. The famous Liberty bell was cast in London in 1752, brought to America and subsequently recast in Philadel- phia. It bears the inscription, “Pro- claim Liberty Throughout the World and to All the inhabitants Thereof.” It was cracked while being tolled after the death of Chief Justice John Marshall in 1835. It is kept on exhibition in In- dependence hall, Philadelphia. It has bad a fictitious importance owing to the popular belief that its ringing pro- claimed the adoption of the Declara- tion of Independence on July 4, 1776. Concerning this belief, however, Fried- enwald in his “Declaration of Inde- pendence” (1904) says: “There is no shadow of authority even for associating the ringing of the bell with the announcement of the agreement upon independence. The mythical legend of the blue eyed boy waiting outside the door to give the signal to the man in the bell tower is the product of the fertile imagination of one of Philadelphia’s early ro- mancers, George Lippard, who first gave currency to it in his appropriate- 1y called ‘Legends of the Revolution.” This book was published in 1847."— New York American. His Experfence. “Jasper,” said Mrs. Grigson, who was looking over the morning paper, “here’s a story of a woman who was robbed on a street car in broad day- light, and yet the thief got away un- suspected.” Mr. Grigson said that he had seen the item, but that it was either a typo- graphical error or else the story was pure invention. “Why do you say that?” asked his wife. “Look at the item again. It says her purse contained $100 in currency, does it not?” “Yes,” “It says there was also a receipted bill for a five dollar hat, does it not?” “Yes.” “Well, no woman with $100 in cash in her possession would buy a five dol- lar hat.”—Youth’s Companion. His Critic. “The greatest compliment that I ever received,” says Opie Read, “was a crit- fcism. Several years ago I went to Arkansas and visited the scene where one of my storfes is lald. The landlord of the little hotel said to me: “‘Here comes a little old fellow to whom I loaned a copy of your book. He can’t read, but his wife reads to him. Let's see what he says about the book. “<«“Hello, Jason, did your wife read that book to you?” “¢“Mawnin’, sah. read it to me.” “ ¢ “well, what do you think of it?" “¢“Huh? That ain’t no book at all. I done lived hear fo’ fo'ty yeahs an’ I done hearn folks talk that a-way all th’ time.” ’ "—Cincinnati Inquirer. Yes, she done Love and the Laundry. “The only thing I find to say against you is that your washing bill is far too extravagant. Last week you had six blouses in the wash. Why, Jane, my own daughter never sends more than two.” “Ah, that may be, mum,” replied Jane, “but I 'ave to! Your daughter’s sweetheart is a bank clerk, while my young man is a chimney sweep. It makes a difference, mum.”—London Tit-Bits. Cleaned Them Out. First Girl-Was your bazaar ¢ great success? Second Girl—I should think ‘o. All the gentlemen had to walk jome.

The Pasts Used by Minstrel Parforme ers When “Blacking Up.” The popular impression as to the ap- plication of burnt cork by minstrel performers and actors in general is that it is rubbed on the face and hands of the player from a cork whose end is charred in a convenient gas jet. This impression is, however, incorrect. The others is the product of the theatrical “paint factorles,” just as is any other cosmetic or pigment employed by the profession. One house makes it in the following manner: The corks are placed In three tin vessels, resembling wash boilers. with holes punched in their sides and bottom. _ corks, and they they are “fired.” When the corks haye been- properly charred they are placed In muslin sacks, which are kneaded in barrels of water. This operation forces the powdered charcoal through the sacks into the water. ‘When all the charred corks have been worked through the sacks into the water in this way the water is drained through a close canvas sack, and what remains in that sack is ready for the performers. The stuff is put up in cans, from which, when the minstrel is ready to “black up.” he takes a little of the black paste in his hands and applies it to his face, neck and sometimes his hands.—New York Herald. A CURIOUS BIRD. The Crested Hoactzin When Hatched Has Four Legs. The crested hoactzin of British Gui- ana is the only survivor of a certain race of birds most of which are now known only as fossils. The hoactzin inhabits the most secluded forests of South America, and its survival be- yond its congeners is doubtless owing to its retiring habits and to the fact that it feeds on wild arum leaves, which give its flesh a most offensive flavor, rendering it unfit for food. The chief peculiarity of the hoactzin consists in the fact that when it is hatched it possesses four well develop- edlegs. The young birds leave the nest and climb about like monkeys over the adjoining 1imbs and look more like tree toads than birds, The modification of the fore limbs begins at once after hatching, when the claws of the digits fall off and the whole clawlike hand begins to flatten and become wing shaped. Feathers soon appear, and before full growth is reached not'a vestige remains of the original character. The adult birds not only have no claws upon their wings, but their thumbs even are so poorly developed that one would hardly suspect that in the nestlings we have the nearest ap- proach to a quadruped found among existing birds.—London Tit-Bits. Tung Po and Teamaking. There is but one way of making tea, for— Unless the water bolling be To pour on water spoils the tea. The teapot itself should be heated very hot befére the tea is placed in it and the bofling water poured on. It should be scalding hot water or the leaves will float to the top. No lesg authority than Tung Po, the Chinese poet, is quoted for a recipe for teamaking. He says: “Whenever tea is to be infused take water from a running stream and boil it over a live- ly fire. It is an old custom to use run- ning water, boiled over a lively fire. That from springs in the hills is said to be best and river water the next, while well water is the worst. A lively fire is a clear, bright charcoal fire. When making an infusion do not boil the water too hastily. At first it begins to sparkle like crabs’ eyes, then somewhat like fish’s eyes, and lastly it boils up like pearls innumerable springing and waving about. This is the way to boil water.” @ “Touch Not the Queen.” Under this title a Paris journal pro- fesses to give an account of the tragic death of the queen of Siam, who was as greatly loved as her consort. Some years ago her majesty was boating with ladies of the court in a lake in the gardens of the palace at Bangkok. The boat overturned, and the queen could not swim. She was surrounded by nu- merous personages who could bave saved her life, but no one has the right to extend the hand upon the gqueen. The king alone ¢ould have héld her up and prevented her from sinking, and he was nowhere at hand. Respectful- ly the court allowed the queen to drown.

Prior to this public service there were brief private services at the Morton residence. Boy of Three Kills Sister. Dee Moines, Jan. 23.—Little Clara Corbin, aged six years, died almost in- stantly at her home here when her three-year-old brother blew the top of her head off with a shotgun which the father had left standing by the kitchen door upon returning from a rabbit bunt. THE ELECTROSCOPE. Instrument by Which the Presence of Electricity Is Detected. The electroscope is an instrument for the detection of electricity. It depends for its action on the principle that bodies charged with like electricity re- pel, while those charged with unlike electricity attract each other. The ordi- nary pith ball suspended on a slilk thread is the simplest form of the in- strument. The most common type of electro- scope is that devised by Bennett In 1787 and known as the gold leaf elec- troscope. It consists of two strips of gold leaf or thin aluminium foil sus- pended from the lower extremity of a conductor within a glass bottle or jar. The upper end of the conductor ter- minates in a ball or a plate in case the instrument is to be used as a condens- Ing electroscope. If a body charged with positive electricity i8 brought near the knob of the electroscope the nega- tive electricity will be attracted to the knob and the positive repelled to the leaves, which diverge. If now the fin- ger is touched to the knob the positive electricity is drawn off and the leaves collapse, while the negative electricity is held bound. Removing the charged body, the leaves will diverge again, charged with negative electricity. In this case the instrument can be used to determine the-nature of a charge of a body brought near it, as with a posl- tive charge the leaves will collapse and with a negative charge spread farther apart.—Bxchange. A STUDY IN FIGURES. Calculations Necessary to Produce the . Nautical Almanac. It may safely be said that no one outside the publishing office has read the entire Nautical Almanac from be- ginning to end, but each figure of the amined twice and read three times. The total number of figures exceeds a million; but, great as that number is, it is trifiing compared with the num- ber of figures employed in the calcula- tions, as the almanac figures repre- for instance, requires for its calcu- lation more than a million and a half of figures, and similarly with other branches of the work, such as the sun, the planets, etc. Contrary to the general opinion, practically every fig- ure in the book is fresh from year to year. The tables from which nearly all the | work is calculated have been original- ly constructed from the labors of the astronomical observer and to a large extent from the observations of the sun, moon and planets made at the‘ Royal observatory, Greenwich. Tele- scopes and other astronomical appli- ances are conspicuously absent, as the work of the staff is purely mathemati- cal and mnot observational.—London Telegraph.
