Must “Fighting Bob” Hoist White Flag in Life's Fight. Washington—The report that Admiral Bob Evans is about to re- tire from the navy because of ill health has sent a throb of sympathy | and regret through the country. ! Scores of telegrams andeven cable-' grams have been received at the wy department asking as to the ruth of the report, and expressing high regard for “Fighting Bob.” | Robley Dunlingson was the name! given bim at his birth, Aug. 18, 1846, over 60 yearsago. But he is “Fighting Bob” to the American | people. He tea born fighter. At6 he was! handling agun. At 13 he was on, bis way across the western plains to acquire a residence at Salt Lake ny: He had been promised an ap Augustus Busch Indicted. Muskogee, I. T., March 4 —Augus- tus Busch, son of the millionaire brewer of St. Lonis and president of the New State Brewing company of Oklahoma City, Ok., has been indict- ed by a federal grand jury in Tulea charged with introducing into the Indian territory intoxicating liquors in the form of iow grade beers. He has been arrested and has gieven bond. The New State Brewing com. pany manufactured a product known as “Mistletoe,” which has been sold in the territory, but which has been declared {ntoxicating. The indict ment was secured by W. E Johneon, @ special officer representing the De partment of the Interfor fn Indian Terrisory. New Oil Well in the Territory, Still a Socialist. M. Viviani, the new French minister of labor, appointed by M. Clemenceau, has declared in a newspaper inter- | view that in accepting office he re pudiated nothing of his political past. “I am a socialist,” he said, “and I mean to remain faithful to my ideas and to my socialist friends. Like Millerand in the Waldeck-Rousseau ministry, and like Briand in the Sar- rien cabinet, I preserve my freedom of action and of propaganda. As min- ister of labor I shall endeavor to se cure reforms which I defended as dep- uty at the tribune of the chamber. I want to make the ministry of labor a workingman’s ministry.” M. Viviani then proceeded to speak of the nature of the work immediately cut out for the new minister. He hopes, he said, with the aid of the minister of finance, to create an organization for the set tlement of the long-standing question of old-age pensions “that can imme- diately set to work.” Another mat ,/ pointment to Annapolis ifhebecame, Tulsa, 1 T, March 4.—Surprise tn] tet Which will claim his immedinte at a resident of the Utah City. oll circles was occasioned by the an-| t8tion is arbitration in labor disputes, On the way the emigranttrain Was nouncement that a 500 barrel off | °S Well #s the liberty of trate union attacked by Indians, “Bob” was! well had come in on Birdereek in the} 1° ' Said not to be blind to the faci warned to stay under cover when|Cherokee nation, fourteen miles “opi reattarag-tadbnrte a and that, in view of the influences the fight began.

It is to be estab- lished in the premises just vacated by the department of public worship, a highly significant arrangement Two Fisheries Questions. Two important fisheries questions affecting America are under consider- ation. One is the problem of stop- ping pelagic sealing, that is, the shoot- ing of the migrating seals at sea, and the indiscriminate destruction of fe- males. If the Canadians agree to stop the practice, it is probable that Japan will come into the agreement, says the Youth's Companion. The other problem concerns the use of purse seines by Americans on the New- foundland herring-grounds, and is be- ing discussed by representatives of the British, American and Newfound- land governments. Great Britain ad- mits the justice of the colonial po- sition that the use of purse seines threatens destruction of the fisheries, but may under pressure of the Amer- ican interests conclude an agreement over the heads of the colonial com- missioners. Caterpillar Fever. “Caterpillar fever is contracted by rural districts,” says the many in ¢ the London en an epidemic characterized by inter itching of th times of the face, with ves when they occur above the eyes, ob- palms and some- les which, struct vision Prophylaxis requires that the caterpillars be left severely alone. The ‘pa ur worm,’ for — in- stance, the hairy caterpillar of the gold-tail moth, one of the commonest and most beautiful objects in the country at midsummer, passes from hand to hand. It leaves a few of its loosely attached hairs upon the palm; and an urticaria results, in the opin- ion of English rural physicians.” The thieves who looted the Hartje house in Pittsburg when it was closet while the divorce suit was on trial must be very much disgusted with themselves when they discovered how much they might have obtained for their loot. A Stradivarius violin that cost Hartje $700 was sold to a man on the street for $1.50. A statuette of Romeo and Juliet valued at $5,000 was sold for $8. A $2,000 oil painting was sold for $2 because the frame was somewhat damaged. Rugs worth $1,000 each sold at from $6 to $8. But burglars are seldom art connois- seurs, and often, not knowing the true value of their booty, sell it for a mere fraction of its value. That is the rift in the loot. When it is considered that scien- tists who study the hair have discov- ered five or six different causes for its falling out, with subsequent baldness, it doesn’t seem worth while trying to keep it on the skull. Any one of these “six causes” is quite sufficient to reduce an affluent topknot to a billiard ball surface; therefore a real benefaction for mankind would be the enforcement of a mighty fashion ren- dering its loss the most admirable thing in life. No genius has ever thought of this alternative, and It is suspected our ultra-civilized notions | ©] would revolt at first, but by degrees the world would adopt the idea and finally end by cultivating it con amore. Chinese pirates have looted a Brit- ish ship, but times: have changed in the-far east, and Great Britain will not demand a whole province by way of compensation.
