A live coon was presented to the President at Dennison, where the spe- cial stopped for a few minutes. After the President had greeted the people, a man swung the coon over the railing of the car platform and shouted: “Take him; he will bring you good luck.” When the President laughed and shook his head deprecatingly, the man again shouted: “You must take him. I am a life-long Democrat and I wish | you good luck.” | Attached to the chain around the an- imal's neck was a card bearing this inscription: “Compliments of Tuscarawas Coun- | ty, Ohio.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 25.—All the exhibit wine at the California wine temple at the World's Fair was sold by the Cali- | fornia commission to-day to the Mis- | sourt Athletic Club of St. Louis. Sev- | eral wine dealers tried to buy the stock, but their bids did not equal that of the club, which was $450. This disposition of the wines will be a fine advertisement for this great Cal- ifornia industry. The Missouri Ath- letic Club is as large as the Olympic of San Francisco and the goods of more than thirty dealers will go on the club’s wine list and be sampled by the members, who are among the best men of St. Louis. The club has hung a large banner on the exhibit announc- ing: “These grand prize and gold med- al wines bought by the Missouri Ath- letic Club.” There are ninety-seven cases of the goods in all. There are brandies, cordials and maraschino cherries. The State building has been sold to the Southern Illinois Wrecking Com- pany for $500. The counters, mantels and transparencies and the large iron deor lock, which goes to Mrs. Pardee, have been reserved. The died fruit in charge of the Cal- ifornia commission has been sold to a wholesale firm at an average price of 5 cents. More than one-haif of it is prunes, worth 3 cents in California.

In making Inquiries about affairs in the Philippines, he en- countered some complexities which determined him to remain here until the return to Washington of Secretary Taft, who Is now in Panama. Conflicting claims as to the titles to the buildings on the lands purchased by the United States from the Catholic religious orders now constitute an im- portant question. Monsignor Agius is anxious that the courts in the Philip- Nov. pines be given power to fix these ti-| tles beyond dispute. Regarding this subject Monsignor Agius and Monsig- nor Falconio, the papal delegates at Washington, to-day conferred with Col- onel Edwards, chief of the Bureau of Insular Affairs of the War Depart- ment. The Government survey of several | hactendas owned by the Philippine Sugar Estates Development Company showed them to be short to the value of several hundred thousand dollars. A joint survey has been requested by the Government. These properties were formerly owned by the Domini- | can order. Questions have arisen as to titles to the large haciendas of Bi- nan, Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz de Mal- abon, together with a portion of Lol- omboy.

The men forced an entrance about 3 o'clock, smashing in the door, using a rail- road tie as a battering ram. Mrs. Far- {ley and her granddaughter were in bed together. Three of the men thrust | revolvers in their faces and threaténed | to kill them if they made a noise. Mrs. Farley was then asked where she had her money hidden. She told them $20 was all she had. They found it and $150 in small change, but they | 55— held matches to her bare feet until the | grandchild, in an effort to save her | clared she knew where the money was | hidden. | She hoped to lead the robbers into | the yard, escape from them and arouse | the neighbors.
