Akron, O., May 6.—Charles Carlson, aged twenty-four years, of Milwaukee, an aviator at a local aviation field near Akron, was killed when he was crushed beneath the engine of his aeroplane after falling from a height of about 200 feet. Carlson has been employed here about two months and has made some long flights at the park within the past few days. ' Domestic Ethics.

TARIFF DEBATE NEAR THE END IN HOUSE Only a Few More Sections to Be Disposed Of. Washington, May 6—The end of the tariff debate is in sight so far as the house is concerned. With a few odds and ends of the sundries sched- ule left over the house stood ready to dispose of the free list, the com- plex administrative features and the inoeme tax, all that remained of the new tariff law. “All the fights are about over now,” | said Mr. Underwod, the Democratic leader, as he surveyed the situation. The debate has been the most good natured in the recollection of the Democratic leaders. The Republicans have avoided filibustering or demand for record votes. The caucus rule of solid Democratic vote has been rig- ; idly carried out. Only a few minor changes are now to be expected and they will be to clarify language.

Dead Sea Stillness. The Dead sea is a vast lake about nine hours’ ride from Jerusalem. The waters of the lake, save for an almost imperceptible ripple, are quite still and tolerably transparent, but salt and “bit- ter beyond bitterness” and so buoyant that one can float upon them like a cork, and to swim it is only necessary to move the hands. The surrounding scenery is dreary in the extreme and in parts singularly grand. But the still- ness is oppressive and depressing, for there is no sound of animal life or NOBEL PRIZES. Works That Win Them and the Way the Awards Are Made, The Swedish scientist Alfred B. Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, died in 1896, bequeathing his fortune, esti- mated at $9,000,000, to the founding of a fund the interest of which should yearly be distributed to those who had mostly contributed to “the good of hu- manity.” The interest is divided in five equal shares, given away: “One to the person who in the do- main of physics has made the most Important discovery or invention, one to the person who has made the most important chemical discovery or invention, one to the person who has made the most important discovery in the domain of medicine or physiology, one to the person who in literature has provided the most excellent work of an idealistic tendency and one to the person who has worked most or best for the fraternization of nations and the abolition or reduction of standing armies and the calling in and propa- gating of peace congresses.” The prizes for physics and chem- istry are awarded by the Swedish Academy of Science, that for physio- logical or medical work by the Caro- line institute (the faculty of medicine in Stockholm), that for literature by the Swedish Academy in Stockholm, and the peace prize is awarded by a committee of five persons elected by the Norwegian storthing. In accordance with these statutes the awarders of the prizes (the four above named institutions) elect fifteen deputies for two consecutive years, the Academy of Science electing six and the other prize awarders three each. These deputies elect for two consecu- tive years four members of the board of directors of the Nobel institute, which board, exclusively consisting of Swedes, must reside in Stockholm. A fifth member, the president of the board, is nominated by the government. The board of directors has in its care the funds of the institution and hands yearly over to the awarders of the prizes the amount to be given away. The value of each prize is on an aver- age $40.000. The distribution of the prizes takes place every year on Dec. 10, the anniversary of Mr. Nobel's death.—Philadelphia Press. AULD FOOLS’ GAMBOL. The Custom From Which All Fools’ Day Takes Its Name. Most people call April 1 all fools’ day, whereas it should be auld—i. e. old fools’ day. The appellation prob- ably takes its’ origin from the follow- ing superstition: In druidica! times. between 10 and 12 o’clock on the night of April 1, it was customary for all those young women who dared to venture into a sacred grove and to take their stand one bebind the other. At the hooting of an ow! they com- menced slowly running round and round, to the accompaniment of such words as these: Ban-man, ban-man, From berg, bach and ley, Leap high. leap low. Come and run with me. Thereupon, side by side with those of the girls destined to be married within the coming year, the phantom of a ban, or white man, appeared, and if any of the girls were going to die within the year a black man was seen Once while this ceremony was in progress the spirit of a very old, totter- ing white man put in an appearance and exhibited such emphatic attention to the girl he ran with that the other per- formers were much amused. The object of their amusement was subsequently chaffed to such an extent by every one in the tillage that she fled from the neighborhood, marrying before the year was out a strange chieftain old enough to be her grand- father. After this event the ceremony was ironically styled the “auld fools’ gam- bol.”—London Answers. GAYNOR ESCAPES ARREST New York Magistrate Refuses War- rant to Pulitzer. New York May 6.—A decision was handed down by Magistrate Kerno- chan denying the application made by counsel for Ralph Pulitzer for a war- rant for the arrest of Mayor Gaynor on a charge of criminal libel. The al- leged libel was committed by the mayor in a speech in Brooklyn Feb. 14 last. Further Vig: for Dissolution. Washington, May 6—The supreme court has extended the time in which the Union Pacific railroad must dis- pose of its 46 per cent in the South- ern Pacific stock from May 12 to July 1, thus only partially complying with the request of Union Pacific at- torneys for an indefinite extension of time. Perishable Freight Ruling. Washington, May 6.—The interstate commerce commission held that where perishable freight moves regularly and in sufficient volume to justify in- stallation of special equipment in the cars—such as stoves and linings—to prevent shipments from freezing, the special service should be furnished by carriers. 6 STRENUGUS LOVEMAKING. Duke Wiliam Tamed Matilda, and She Get Square on Brihtric. A modern lover who resorted te brute force to win bis lady would soom find himself in the street, if uot in the police station. But fashions in pro- posals have changed in a thousand years, and when William the Conqueror set out to make Matilda, daughter of the Count of Flanders, the happiest of maidens he adopted measures that were forcible, to say the least. The New York Sun tells the story of his tempestuous wooing: The suitor Matilda had she did not want, and the man she wished to woe her she could not get. The man she did not want happened to be Williant, duke of Normandy, and he decided to | go to Bruges and conquer Matilda. ‘There were uo national roads througe France in t&ose days, and William doubtless bad a hard trip. Perhaps Matilda noticed the mud on his clothes when she came out of cburch and found him waiting for her. At any rate, William descended from his horse, and taking Matilda firmly: by the back of the neck, rolled her over and over in the mire of Bruges. planting well directed blows upon her royal face and body with his other hand. Life was elemental a thousand years ago. This strenuous lovemaking somehow appealed to Matilda. Perhaps it was what she would have liked to do te Brihtric. the gentleman she could not get, who was only the English am- bassador at her father’s court and not at all a proper person to be snubbing a princess. So Matilda sent word te her father that, “sick in health and } dolorous in body,” she had firmly re- solved to marry no man but Duke William. Later, after William had conquered England, he offered his queen the estates of any English nobleman she might name. Matilda did not have te think twice. She not only chose Brik- | tric’s estates, but she put him in prisom and kept him there all the rest of his life—an excellent argument for the wise custom of restricting woman's choice to one year in four. DESOLATE MONGOLIA. A Bleak Country, the Very Spirit of Which Is Restlessness. Beyond the forests of Siberia lies the. barren center of the Asiatic continent, —that inhospitable, desolate land of nakedness, the baunt of roaming nom- | ads, a region of bitter winds and hos-) tile climate. In the very heart of the greatest continent, in that part of the earth’s surface which is farthest re~ moved from the sea, lies the lone, bleak land of Mongolia. In all its immense area there are but | few towns where men live settled lives, and it possesses but a scanty popula- ; tion, while because by its very position it is cut off from the softening influence j of the sea it presents a dreary aspect |of windy wastes, endless steppes and’ } barren mountains. q Wild and wide is Mongolia, stretch- ing as it does for 2,000 miles in the savage splendor of limitless expanse. Man cannot rest in such a country nor live a sedentary life. It has been the birthplace of the -greatest migrations the world bas ever seen. Restless movement, in fact, is the very spirit of Mongolia. What history this land could tell only its deserts could speak and its mountains bear witness! Here rode | Genghis. the Mongol Alexander, the most ruthless and inhuman destroyer the world has experienced. On these wide plateaus wandered those Mongot herdsmen who fed their flocks and moved their camps with complete con- tent and splendid isolation until at last the wanderlust came over them ané they burst out from their fastness te overrun the world. —Wide World Mag azine. The Oath Gesture. The act of uplifting the hand during the taking of an oath is so ancient that it would be futile to even attempt te say when it started. Homer mentions it as common among the Greeks of hie time, and it is also found in the earliest Biblical time. For instance, Abraham, the father of the Jewish people. says “I have lifted up my hand to Jehovah,” showing that even at that remote pe viod the practice was existent. It was from the Jews, of course, that the prac- tice found its way into Christendom, where it has ever since held its place in judicial trials —New York American. Good Advice. “My son,” said the old hunter, “you are starting out to earn your living ag a guide. Remember that some people will want to see bear, while others will want to see bear tracks.” “Yes, dad.” “If they're satisfied with tracks don't try to show ’em bear.”—Louisville Cou- rier-Journal.
