CAUS THE HE6B0ES GUILTY 1 aEn. fcYER'3 REPORT TOUCHES ON BROWNSVILLE APFAtll. NO OCCASION FOR WORRY A right to run down the rest of the world does not go with the purchase of an automobile. Mark Twain can sell his jokes for 30 cents a word, but what does he do when he wants a nickel? Paris is thinking of building "get off the earth" subways for pedestrians. This is the automobile age. The new ten-dollar bills appear to be the most popular yellow-backed literature ever put on the market. A St. Louis man has just married because he was dared to. Some men will risk anything rather than take a dare. Admiral ljuin. who says that Japan wants to live at peace with the world, evidently desires to be a good ljuin. A Chicago lawyer boasts that he has lived for 61 days on nothing but water. When is he going to come ashore? Is Prof. Osier listening? A Boon- ville (Ind.) man is still an active working news "boy" though he is 85 jrears old. A Chicago man claims he was robbed of $100,000 on a train in Switzerland. They have dining car a la carte serv­ ice there, too? The foundation stone of the temple of peace at The Hague has been laid, which is more than can be said for the foundation stone of peace. The world s history can be read in the stars, according to Sir David Gill, though it is not believed they mention the names of all the presidents. Mark Twain says he understands English humor. The trouble about Twain, says the Omaha Bee, is that you never can tell when he is joking. "Occasional separations are good for married people." says a woman writer. We judge that is a popular view, on looking at the divorce courts. Japan may be experimenting with war balloons, too, but when Japan doe's things like that she doesn't send invitations to the newspaper re­ porters. A Toledo physician has been sued for $10,000 worth of kisses. As the lady is 45 years old, he must have or­ dered a wholesale lot for distribution among his friends. Egyptologists now have a poor opinion of Rameses II., but as he has been dead for some thousands ot years it is not believed that it will bother him much. That London pickpocket who was arrested in Chicago made a mistake in coming so far west, says the Chicago Daily News. He should have re­ gained in New York, where the peo­ ple would have loved to have their pockets picked by a crook from dear old London. Of course, the charge that kissing It dangerous is true. Everything i? dangerous that ever gave a human be­ ing one moment of happiness upon this poor old earth. Happiness itself la only another name for sin. If you don't believe it, just study a few of the old theologians. An Indianapolis girl tried to com­ mit suicide because her relatives would not "leave her alone," while another young miss out in Colorado took the same course because her relatives did leave her alone. It is hard to satisfy the diverse cravings of the human heart. A rich old man who recently mar­ ried a fair young woman has had a river abolished because it interfered with what she considered the beauty of the landscape. The age of chival­ ry is not dead. Neither Charles II. nor Louis XIV. could have acted more splendidly in the circumstances. "In Kansas," says an exchange, "the stern arm of the law has stepped in and decreed that bakers shall no longer knead dough with their feet." It is high time, therefore, for the stern foot of the law to seize the cabbage raisers in its sinewy grasp and utter the im­ perious demand that they shall no longer pack their sauerkraut in bar­ rels by the process of tramping it with their bare hoofs. An actress who has recently been divorced says she couldn't live with her husband because he seldom kissed her, although he was kind and thought­ ful in other respects. Slje should have been patient. Perbfips his apparent neglect was merely a sanitary precau­ tion. If the price of milk is raised to the consumer we hope the controllers of the original supply will have the grace to hand the long-suffering cow from time to time a few more of the deli­ cacies of the season.

Hat Spent Three Weeks at Sanitarium "Unknown to Public--Received One Visit from the President. New York.--Secretary of State Elihu Root, who has already spent three weeks at the farm-sani­ tarium of William C. Muldoon, ex- champion wrestler, near White Plains, taking Mr. Muldoon's course of ath­ letic treatment for a severe attack of nervous exhaustion, expects to com­ plete liis cure in two weeks more. He is now, well on the road to complete recovery and all reason for appre­ hension about his health seems to have di|appeared. On the quiet farm among the West Chester hills, so secluded that the sec­ retary of state was enabled to paSs three weeks there and be visited by the president of the United States be­ fore his whereabouts were discover­ ed by the public, Mr. Root has fleshed up. put on a healthy coat of tan, lost the drawn, worried look of the early summer, and will go back to Washing­ ton, as Mr. Muldoon phrases it, "the strongest member of the Cabinet, not even barring Taft." During the first two weeks of his stay he gained a pound a day, acquir­ ing therewith such a stock of energy that he was able Friday to ride 18 miles, walk three miles and in addi­ tion to the usual course of exercise with the big medicine ball, box 15 vigorous minutes with Muldoon. When visited Friday on the veranda of the Muldoon residence, his face showed good color, his eyes were clear and his hand steady. He looked a trifle tired but otherwise well. Mr. Root asked to be excused from talk­ ing about his health, but his appear­ ance was a sufficient contradiction of the exaggerated reports of a complete breakdown. His physician visited him but left without making any ar­ rangements for his return. According to Mr. Muldoon, Secretary Root, when he arrived, was suffering from nervous exhaustion, the result of overwork and strain. COSTLY BLAZES IN PITTSBURG. Two Fires Cause Damage estimated at $250,000. Pittsburg, Pa.--Two fires Thursday caused by the explosion of gasoline in clothes pressing establishments caused damage estimated at $250,000 and for a time threatened the entire east end section of this city. The first fire broke out shortly be­ fore noon in the Club Pressing & Cleaning company's place at 6339 Penn avenue. The three story briok building was destroyed and 14 em­ ployes were rescued from the windows by firemen. The second fire was more serious and before it was controlled seven buildings were wiped out. The blaze started in the Enterprise Pressing company's shop at 5975 Center avenue about two o'clock and spread with great rapidity east and west A number of automobile garages in the neighborhood had quantities of gasoline on hand and barrels and tanks of the fuel were removed from the vicinity. A hundred or more auto­ mobiles were run out of the garages and for a time lined either curb of a block, several blocks from the burn­ ing district. The flames made a great roar and leaped into the air 50 feet above the burning buildingjp. -Between the burn­ ing block and the handsome East Lib­ erty market house only a narrow lot intervened and grave fears were en­ tertained lest the market should catch. This building escaped, how­ ever, but for the scorching of the east side and the shattering of the win­ dows. Shortly after four o'clock the fire was declared to be under control Four firemen were hurt during the fighting of the fire. Swedish Prince at Newport. Newport, R. I.--The Swedish armored cruiser Fylgia, with Prince Wilhelm of Sweden on board, arrived here Thursday from Jamestown, Va. The prince was entertained at dinner by Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, and later at­ tended a dance given by Mrs. Edward J. Berwind. Salutes were exchanged between the cruiser and Fort Adamsl and the Reina Mercedes, flagship of Rear Admiral John Merrill, command­ ing the second naval district, as the cruiser entered the harbor. lMffTISwIt rICmOVCQ rrOrTi r Orl as Result--Commander U Better Pay and Canteen. Washington. -- That Brig. Gen. Albert L. Myer, commanding tbe department of Texas, thinks the col­ ored troops "shot up" Brownsville, Tex., last August is shown by his an­ nual report. After calling the affray "a lamentable occurrence which is still shrouded in mystery to a great extent," he says: "However, it seems to have been established that on the night in ques­ tion a few enlisted men of the first battalion, Twenty-fifth infantry, then garrisoning Fort Brown, did go armed into Brownsville and do some promis­ cuous firing resulting iu the death of one civilian, one horse and the wound­ ing of one policeman. It has been im­ possible to identify the individuals who actually did the firing. Undoubt­ edly there was at the time mutually bad blood between a part of the gar­ rison of Fort Brown and some of the citizens of Brownsville and this fact must, to some extent, account for the occurrence." As a result of the occurrence, Fort Brown has been deprived of a garri­ son and the reservation has been tem­ porarily transferred to. the depart­ ment of agriculture. In line with other department com­ manders, Gen. M3*er takes the ground that the pay of enlisted men should be increased, particularly of non-commis­ sioned officers. He favors legislation increasing the infantry by at least ten regiments of full peace strength, and he declares that the continuing absence of so many officers renders more apparent and evident the neces­ sity for some legislation giving two of­ ficers at least to a company or troop at all times. Gen. Myer renews the recommenda­ tion of most of his predecessors rela­ tive to the removal of- the canteen restrictions on the sale of malt liquors. He says there has been about 8 per cent/decrease in the number ol trials by court martial, and the num­ ber of trials for desertion far ex­ ceeds that of any other crime or charge.

EDDY CASE ENDS SUDDENLY. "Next Friends" File Motion to Die- miss Their Plea. Concord, N. H.--A sudden, though not wholly unexpected, ^tiding of the masters' hearing in> connection with the suit in equity brought by relatives of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, leader of the Christian Science faith, came in the superior courtroom here Wednes­ day. Former Senator William E. Chand­ ler, senior counsel for the relatives, or "next friends," announced to the board of masters that they had filed a motion with the superior court to dismiss their action. The suit was brought on the ground that Mrs. Eddy, being incompetent, on account of age and infirmities, to manage her own affairs, was the vic­ tim of persons associated with her in Christian Science work, who were named as defendants in the equity suit. The masters were appointed by the superior court to determine the question of Mrs. Eddy's competency, and hearings before them have been in progress for several days. The reason for the petition for dis­ missal, as made known at the bear­ ing Wednesday by Mr. Chandler, was the belief that success along the lines desired could not be obtained, and the unprofitableness of any immedi­ ate result of a decision in favor of the next friends in the exact issue as now framed, compared with the bur­ dens and disadvantages to be endured both before and after such a decision. t T h e czar has f i v e fine yachts, which ?• '• Is more than the number of effective modern battleships bis country pos- j&V.fcesses.

The stolen money was found lying in an open lot across which Posicki had fled. Jackson, Miss. -- Gov. Vardaman was asked Thursday to call out troops to protect the telegraph offices at Holly Springs, Grenada and Greenwood. The appeal was made by Supt. Terhune of the Western Union company, who said tfle operators had been driven from the office in the two towns first named and that the mana­ ger at Greenwood had been threatened and abused by the citizens of that place. The governor replied that Supt. Terhune should appeal to the courts, and if they ate unable to enforce the law, he will adopt special measures for protection. President Small's Challenge. Chicago. -- Officials of the West­ ern Union and Postal Telegraph com­ panies were called upon Thursday to prove to the public their oft-repeat­ ed claims that they are handling all their business satisfactorily. President Small of the Telegraph­ ers' union said tho companies were not telling the truth, and he challeng­ ed them to throw open their operat­ ing-rooms for inspection by an impar­ tial committee of business men, that the public might know the real facts about existing conditions. Mr. Small says such a committee will find the operating-rooms filled with managers of branch offices, com­ pany officials and dummies, with here and there a "real operator," and that only such business as makes the best showing of results--the tickers ana the work of the great business houses --Is being cared for, while the pub­ lic at large is not getting service. When President Small's suggestion was conveyed to the company officials the statement was made that investi­ gation must be made from outside the operating-rqoms, and the decision must rest with the business community at large, which, they assert, is regaining confidence and turning in more and more business. MORE MONEY IN LOW FARES.. Effect of the-Two-Cent Law in Minne­ sota Shown. St. Paul, Minn.--Though the injunc­ tion suits now In the federal court in which the state has been made a de­ fendant are principally directed at .the commodity rate law, the two-cent passenger law is also involved and, in anticipation of trouble, Attorney General Young and his assistants have just compiled figures covering the passenger law that are startling. The figures are the roads' own com­ pilations, furnished at the request of the railway and warehouse commis­ sion, and show that the two-cent pas­ senger law, instead of being confisca­ tory, 1s directly the reverse. The fig­ ures furnished the commission are the passenger revenues for the months of May and June, and compared with an average two months' business for the previous year, show a marked in­ crease for all roads with the excep­ tion of three, the Soo, Minneapolis & St. Louis and the Great Western.- DIE m AUTO CRASH BOSTON BROKER AND CHAUF­ FEUR INSTANTLY KILLKD.

He was literally chased out of the assembly hall by infu­ riated members, after the gavel had been snatched from his shaking hands. Several of Miller's friends shielded him from from the fists of the irate members, but a score were hurt in the melee, and when it was all over, "Charlie" Allen was chosen speaker pro tem. and the Mueller law was passed.

Saunderstown, R. I.--Waldo Merv rill, of 915 Beacon street^ Boston, a State street broker, and Eric Land* strom, of Mattapan, Wash., a chauf­ feur, were killed Sunday by the over­ turning of an automobile which crash­ ed into a stone wall at a sharp curve in the road leading to Narragansett pier.

The party of six persons left New­ port Sunday afternoon in Mr. Milli- ken's big touring car for Narragansett pier, Mr. Merrill riding with the chauf­ feur. The latter, according to Mr. Miliiken, has been over the road be­ fore and was familiar with it, and was usually a careful driver. Just before reaching a corner known as the South Ferry, five miles from the pier, where the road takes a sharp turn, Land- strom apparently attempted to slow down, but there was some trouble with the brakes, and the car swung around so rapidly that it overturned. The mo­ mentum was sufficient to carry it in this fashion across the road against a stone wall. Merrill and Landstrom being caught beneath the car, were in­ stantly killed.
