PREDICT RUIN OF BUSINESS Paper Manufacturers Oppose Reciprocity Treaty. manner. DENIES TRUST EXISIS| Speaker Before House Ways and Means Committee Asserts That Ad- vance in Prices Since Passage of Payne Tariff Bill Was Not Because _of an Artificial Fixing of Prices. Protests From Other Sources. Washington, "Feb. 7.—American manufacturers of print paper laid be- fore the ways and means committee of the house their objections to the reduction of the duty on Canadian print paper, as proposed by the pend- ing reciprocity agreement between the United States and Canada. The prin- cipal address was made by F. M. Hugo of Watertown, N. Y. Arthur C. Hast- ings of the American Pulp Paper as- sociation of New York and F. J. San- senberger of Wisconsin also spoke. Mr. Hugo argued that it was unfair to select one industry and make it pay the price of good fellowship between the United States and Canada. He said it was proposed to give the Ameri- ean industry nothing n return for the sacrifice asked of it. He concluded by inquiring what had happened since the passage of the Payne-Aldrich tar- iff act that a further reduction of duty now should be proposed. In response to questions from Repre- sentative Boutell of Illinois, Mr. Hugo said that the price of print paper in the United States went up after the passage of the Payne-Aldrich law. Mr. Hugo said the price was abnor- mally low during the tariff agitation preceding the enactment of the Payne- Aldrich act and the increase since its passage had been due to a return to normal prices. Denies Agresment on Prices. Representative Clark of Missouri wanted to know if the increase was not due to “you gentlemen artificially fixing the price.” That Mr. Hugo de- nied. The manufacturer argued that placing print paper on the free list ‘would smash American industry. Rep- resentative Randall of Texas suggest- ed that that was what the manufactur- ers said would happen if the duty was reduced eighteen months ago. Three protests were presented on the opening of the session of the sen: ate against the passage of any bill in ratification of the reciprocity agree- ment with Canada. Ome protest was from the «National Grange and was presented by Senator Gallinger. It complained that favorable action would result in increasing the value of Canadian farm lands and farm products at the expense of those of the United States. Another was from the American So- ciety of Equity, in session at Indian- apolis, and was presented by Senator McCumber of North Dakota. The third, presented by Senator Nelson, came from the Commercial club of Elbow Lake, Minn., and enumerated many articles of American production which it was urged would be injuri- ousy affected. VIOLATES THE CONSTITUTION Mr. Lodge’s Argument Against Popu- lar Election of Senators. ‘Washington, Feb. 7.—Resistance to the uttermost to the attempts to trans- fer from congress to the various state legislatures the control of the time and manner of election of United States senators, as proposed by the Tesolution providing for their election by direct vote of the people, was ad- vised by Senator Lodge of Massachu- setts in a speech in the senate. Mr. Lodge was speaking in opposi- tion to the proposed new amendment to the Constitution as a whole, but he found an especial mark in the portion placing the direct management of the details of senatorial elections in the various state legislatures. Declaring that the proposed change in that respect “strikes at the very foundation of the national govern- ment” Mr. Lodge said that the plan violates the plans of the framers of the Coumstitution. COLOR BLINDNE! The Incident That Opened John Dal- ton’s Eyes to His Affliction. ' John Dalton, the famous English chemist and natural philosopher. with- out whose discovery of the laws of chemical combination chemistry as an exact science could hardly exist, was wholly color blind. His knowledge of the fact came about by a happening of the sort which we call chance.:On his mother’s birthday, when he was a man of twenty-six, he took her a pair of stockings which he had seen-in a shop window, labeled *‘Silk. ‘the newest fashion." “Thee has bought me a pair of grand hose, John,” said the mother, “but what made thee fancy such a bright color? Why. I can never show myself at meeting in them.” John was much disconcerted, but he told her that he considered the stock- ings to be of a very proper go to meeting color, as they were a dark bluish drab. “Why, they're as red as a cherry, John,” was her astonished reply. Neither he nor his brother Jonathan could see anything but drab in the stockings, and they rested in the belief that the good wife’s eyes were out of order until she, having consulted vari- ous neighbors, returned with the ver- dict, “Varra fine stuff, but uncommon scarlety.” The consequence was that John Dal- ton became the first to direct the at- tention of the scientific world to the subject of color blindness. THE DRINK CALLED COFFEE. Here Is the Way They Made It In the Seventeenth Century. There are in existence in Great itain a few coples of an ancient cookbook, published in 1662, that gives what is perhaps the first English rec- ipe for coffee. The recipe reads: “To make the drink that is now much used, called coffee. “The coffee berries are to be bought at any Druggist, about seven shillings the pound. Take what quantity you please, and over a charcoal fire, in an old frying pan, keep them always stir- ring until they be quite black, and when you ecrack one with your teeth that it is black within as it is without, yet if yon exceed, then do you waste the Oyl, and if less, then will it not de- liver its Oyl, and if you should con- tinue fire till it be white it will then make no coffee, but only give you its salt. Beat aad force through a lawp sieve. “Take clear water and boil one-third of it away, and it is fit for use. Take one quart of this prepared water, put in it one ounce of your prepared cof- fee and boil it gently one hour, and it 1s fit for your use; drink one-quarter of a pint as hot as you can sip it. It @oth abate the fury and sharpness of the Acrimony, which is the gender of the Diseases called Cronical.” Beat the Bank’s System. ‘The boy entered the Clevelund bank and laid a bhalf dollar with his bank book on the receiving teller's window. “We don't receive deposits of less than a dollar,” sald the teller. The boy ylelded reluctantly to the system and drew back. But be did not leave the bank. He crossed the corridor and sealed himself on a settee. The teller noticed him sitting there and also no ticed the reflective lovk on his face. The boy waited for some time, think- ing 1t over. Finally he arose and went to the paying teller’s window. A mo- ment later he coufronted the receiving teller. “I want to deposit this dollar and a half” he said. The teller grinned. The boy had just drawn a dollar from bis little balance and was using it as an entering wedge for the rejected half dollar. And so the sys- tem was beaten by the boy, and a con- siderable accession of bookkeeping la- bor was the price of defeat.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. History Made Palatable. Joseph Salvador, the French histo- clan, and Jules Sandeau, a novelist, made their meeting at a public recep- tion the occasion for a dispute as to the respective places which they occu- pied In the world of letters. “The reading of history is like a pill —1t needs the sugar coating to make it palatable,” argued the novelist. “Ah, but it i3 the ingredient which cures, not the coating,” remarked the historian. “Then let us divide honors,” said Sandeau, “for if it were not for my sugar coating your historical facts would dry on the shelves.” Tolstoy’s Intensity, Everything in Tolstoy’s character, says a Russian writer, attains titanic proportions. “As a drinker he absorbed fantastic quantities of liquor. As a gambler he terrified his partners by the boldness of his play. As a soldier he advanced gayly to bastion four, the bastion of death at Sévastopol, and there he made dying men laugh at his witty sayings. He surpassed every one by his prodigious activity in sport as well as in literature.” Agriculture. No other human occupation opens so wide a field for the profitable and agreeable combination of labor with cultivated thought as agriculture. Ere long the most valuable of all arts will be the art of deriving a comfortable subsistence from the smallest area of land.—Abrabam Lincoln.

PUBLIC RECORDS LOST Documents in Many of the Offices a Complete Loss—Prison Convicts Work Heroically, the Water Supply Proves Inadequate—Proper- ty Damage Will Approximate $500, 000, With No Insurance. Jefferson City, Mo., Feb. 7.—The Missouri capitol building has been destroyed by fire. Many of the records of the governor’s and other state of- ficers are a complete loss. The prop- erty loss will approximate $500,000, with no insurance. Lightning, which struck the cupola of the dome, spread the flames to the roof of the house of representatives on the north side of the structure and in less than half an hour it was ap- parent that the entire building was doomed. Because of the inadequacy of the water pressure the fire could not be reached and no aid could be rendered for some time by ‘the local fire com- panies. Governor Hadley personally directed the fight against the flames, which, because of the age of the building, rapidly gained great headway. The penitentiary fire department was im- mediately called to the scene and the convicts worked heroically, scaling walls ‘and taking dangerous chances for their lives. The local military company was called out and formed a cordon aroun the building, driving spectators fro dangerous positions and removing records from the different state de- partments. The records of the house of repre- sentatives were destroyed, while those of the senate were saved. In the state treasurer’s office more than $20,- 000 is in the time vault, supposedly fireproof, and may be saved when the debris is cleared away. The historic capitol was erected in 1838 at a cost of $350,000 and in 1887 remodeled at a cost of $25,000. but MISSING GIRL IS LOCATED Dorothy Arnold Is Said to Be Patient in Sanitarium. New York, Feb. 7.—“Dorothy Arnold has been found. She is a patient in a private sanitarium, but for reasons of their own the Arnold family do not wish to make her whereabouts known. “Her physical condition is such that she cannot be moved at present, but when she is better she will come home. That is all I can tell you now, but rest assured that no further ef- forts are being made to locate her by either the police or her family.” A man who has‘been identified with the Arnold case almost since the day she disappeared made this statement, but only on condition that his jdentity be not disclosed. His close relations with the Arnold family are such that his information cannot be doubted, for it s practically as authoritative as it Dorothy Arnold’s father or brother had made fit. SAID LORIMER MAY RESIGN Urged by Senate Leaders to Take This Course. New York, Feb. 7.—The New York Sun publishes the. following under a Washington date: “That Senator William Lorimer is likely to resign his seat in the senate and save his friends in that body the embarrassment of having to vote for him in the face of the damaging tes- timony presented in the record of his case, is generally reported on high authority. “The senator from Illinois is being urged by some of the older serate leaders who are personally friendly to him to take this course. They have pointed out to him that unless he does resign his seat is certain to be declared vacant. They have told Mr. Lorimer that he can save some of his friends in the senate from the embarrassment they would feel to be compelled to vote to oust him and re- lieve other colleagues from the popu- lar criticism that would be showered upon them if they voted to retain him in his seat.” JUDGE AND JURY THREATENED Are Trying Case Against Alleged Ohio Lynchers. Wooster, 0., Feb. 7.—Judge W. E. Weygandt, who presided over ;the trials of the men accused of complic- ity in the lynching of Carl Ethering- ton, “dry” detective at Newark, stated that in the past week he had received letters threatening him and the jury with death. Judge Weygandt, whose home'is in this town, said that the owner of the hotel where the jury lodged had also received a letter warning him not to receive the jurymen or his hotel would be blown up. Epidemic of Grip in College. Madison, Wis., Feb. 7.—Six hundred cases of grip have been reported to Dr. J. S. Evans, medical adviser for the University of Wisconsin, since Jan. 3. The afflicted students haye missed a total of 12,000 class hours. The reason for the wide spread of the disease is assigned by Dr. Evans to general laxity of care and to class- room conditions. The epidemic is now)| on the wane, he says. ‘ Health. Health is the second blessing that We mortals are capable of, a blessing that money cannot buy.—Walton.

Bdward Harrigan once said that the most trying moment in his theatrical career occurred in New Orleans soon after the civil war. He had gone south with his company and, yielding some- ‘what to popular request, put on “The Blue and the Gray.” The play had been a success up morth, but down south, with the air still full of the bit- terness of the war, It was a dangerous experiment. Tony Hart was to repre- sent the Confederate gray, so he hunt- ed up a uniform of the Louisiana Ti- gers, and when he came marching on, young, stalwart, handsome, the typical soldier boy in the beloved uniform, the house, men and women, cheered and shouted - and cried for all their heroes embodied in this boy. Harrigan, stand- ing in the wings in his northern blue, ‘waiting to go on, had just one thought —*“They’ll kill me!” Then he stepped out, the embodiment of the enemy, and a cold, dead silence fell upon the house. Not a hand ‘moved for him. The audience was tense with emotion, and -there was' only an instant to act 1f the play was to be saved. Harrigan, big, kindly, good looking, came swiftly down to the front and stepped over the footlight gutter, leaning down to them. “For the love of heaven, won't you give the Yankee a hand?’ he ex- claimed. At once the house was caught and all the pentup feeling turned the right way. There was a yell of ap- plause. RULE OF THE ROAD. Decided Abroad by the Sword and Here by the Gun. Several travelers were seated in the hotel lobby discussing the difference in customs of the various courtries they had visited. *What struck me as most peciliar abroad,” said one, “is the custom of keeping to the left instead of the right, as we do here, Why is the rule reversed?” “I think I can explain that,” said a reserved looking man in the corner. “In medieval and later periods abroad men were in the custom of wearing swords. The sword was worn, as it is now, on the left side. Consequently in drawing their weapon it was done with the right hand, and to get quick- Iy upon guard a man had to have his right side to his opponent; hence the custom of keeping to the left. “In America when every man carried his life in his hand on account of sav- age Indians all men carried guns. The easiest and most natural way to carry a gun, either afoot or mounted, is over the left arm with the muzzle pointed outward, and it takes but a very slight movement to throw the butt against the right shoulder. . For that reason the early settlers kept to the right of the road so their weapon could in- stantly be brought to bear on any mark that was necessary.”—Philadel- phia Times. Romance of a Shadow. It is hard to believe that a shadow is probably the origin of all astronom- ical, geometrical and geographical sci- ence. The first man who fixed his staff perpendicularly in the ground and measured its' shadow was the ear- liest computer of time, and .the Arab of today who plants his spear in the sand and marks where the shadow falls is his direct descendant. Tt is from the shadow of a gnomon that the early Egyptians told the length of the year. It lis from the shadow of a gno- mon that the inhabitants of upper Egypt still measure the hours of work for a water wheel. In this case the forked uprights and points north and south.

CHEERED BY MULTITUDE, —_— v N Drive From Bubkingham Palace to Westminster Viewed by Hundreds of Thousands of People—Reads His Address From the Throne in Clear, | Ringing Tones, in Marked Contrast to His Late Father. London, Feb. 7.—King George open- ed the first parliament of his reign in full state. Accompanied by Queen Mary the king drove from Buckingham palace to Westminster in the famous eight- horse glass paneled state coach and was cheered by hundreds of thou- sands along the line. As it was the first time the new and as yet un- crowned king had performed this function the occasion was made a gala affair. Arriving at the main entrance to parliament their majesties were re- ceived by state officials and escorted to the robing room, where they donned the scarlet and ermine. A brilliant procession was then formed to the house of lords, where, in contrast to the somber colors out- side, there was a phantasy of colors, embroideries and jewels. The Duke of Norfolk, as earl mar- -s!.]al of England, headed the proces- sion. First Address to Parliament. A fanfare from the trumpeters brought the brilliant assemblage of peers and peeresses to their feet as the king and queen entered and took their throne seats on the dais. The gentleman usher of the black robe was then commissioned to “summon the faithful commons.”, Headed by Speaker Lowther and Premier Asquith the commons appeared and took up their position at the bar of the house. Lord chancellor, Lord Loreburn, kneeling on the steps of the throne, handed to the king the parchment roll on which was inscribed, “The Tirst Speech of George the Fifth to His Parliament.” In clear ringing tones, in marked contrast to the in- distincet speech of his late father, George read his address. At the conclusion of the speech the assemblage, led by the marshal, shouted: “God save the king!” while their majesties. took their departure. The returnito the palace was marked With another enthusiastic demonstra- tion. ? ‘Speech Brief and Colorless. -~ The king’s speech from the throme was brief and colorless. It opened with a fillal reference to the death of King Edward. The only references to foreign affairs were a mention of the fact that negotiations had been open- ed-with Japan for a new commercial treaty and an aliusion to the friction in Persia over 'the disturbance of British trade routes. Casual expres- sion of interest in the approaching imperial conference was made. Only two proposed legislative meas- ures were mentioned specifically. “Proposals,” said the king, “will be submitted without delay for settling the relations between the two houses of parliament with the object of se- curing an effective, working consti- tution.” Legislation would also be had, his majesty sald, to provide insurance against sickness and unemployment.
