Jewett's Buffalo yacht TItema, and a small
boat was sent to the disabled sailboat, Bar
Der was rescued, tut Mrs. Tully let go the
capsized yacht, to which she had been
clinging, and slipped down into the water.

minutes before this, having been there with
his partner watching for it. Mrs Tully

est brunette at Niagara.

BY a Vote of Al Yea, 20 20 Nay.
Chief Justice Fuller was confirmed after
two hours and half debate in the senate on
Friday. The yea and nay vote stood Al for
confirmation to 90 against. Z ght republi-
cans voted for confirmation. They were
Messrs. Cameron, Cullom, Davis of Mime
sofa, Farwell, Frye, Hale, Riddleberger and
Spooner. MeSSers. Stewart and Jones of
Nevada and Mitchell of Oregon would prob
ably have voted for confirmation had il not
been for the conclusion they had arrived at
that Mr.. Fuller was not good friend of the
silver interest This charge was the burden
of a speech which Mr.. Stewart made against
the confirmation.
The other speeches against confirmation
were made by Messrs, Edmunds and Evarts
Both took the same line. Both dwelt on the
fact that Mr. Fuller was ademocrat during
the war and quoted from the record of the
Illinois legislature to show that Mr.. Fuller
had sympathized at least with advanced the
ories of state sovereignty and had also
failed at times 10 consider the war a success
In addition both went out of their way to
say that they did not consider Mr.. Fuller a
man of sufficient caliber for the chief Justice
ship.

Both pronounced him in every respect fit for

spoke severely of the effort to trump up

None of the democrats took part in the de.
bate. They took the ground that Mr. Fuller
ought to be confirmed as a matter of course /;
that he ought to receive every vote, and that,
if theT was anV differenca Of oniuion on tho
republican side, it ought to be settled by tie
republicans. Messrs. Farwell Cullom, FRYE,

A Wonderful Tobacco Box.

The greatest tobacco box in the world,
and the strongest as we'll, is the property
of a society known as that of "The Past
0verseers of st. Margaret and st. John,
Westminster" gays the Toronto
Canada Telegram. 1t is simply get
ting together of those who have held
the Office of overseer of the parish for
the purpose of eating an annual dinner,
which they have regularly done for
nearly two hundred pears. Incidentally
they have become also custodians Of the
''Westminister Tobacco Box"
The story goes that in the year 171t
one of the overseers who had been in
the habit of bringing to the tavern din
ners his own private tobacco box and
putting it at the service of his friends,
presumably with better brand than
the common one, in it, presented to the
company q tobacco box for its own use
when be should have got beyond the
need of dinners.
The society accepted the box anq
placed upon it silver rim and plate,
upon which were engraved the name and
the good deeds of the donor. The next
overseer put upon the box another plate
with his name and official achievements
upon it. His successor did the same
and 80 grew up the cnstom that the box
should be delivered to the care of each
overseer, who, upon retiring, should add
to it plate engraved with his name and
some suitable inscription.
Before long the box became quite
overlaid with silver plates, and then it
was fitted into larger box, when it had
been covered with decorations, and this
operation was repeated until now the
original little box has grow into nest
of half dozen or more boxes, the outer
one being a massive, silver covered
hexagonal chest, which was made from
beam that was once in Westminster
Abbey.
Silver plates of all sizes and shapes,
and decorated with all manner of figures,
pictures and Inscriptions, cover all the
boxes. In most cases the notable event
of the year has been recorded by picture
or words upon the plate of the oVeneer
fer that year, and the box has thus be-.
come condensed chronicle of the history
of the past century in England.
At each regular annual dinner the box
is with regular ceremonial handed over
to the new overseer by the senior church
warden, and the overseer is commanded
to take due care of the article, to pro.
duce it at all parochial entertainments to
which he shall be invited or have the
right to attend, and to always keep in it
tobacco enough to furnish at least three
pipes, under penalty of forfeiting six
bottles of claret. Besides this he has to
furnish bond in $1,000 as security for
the care of the box.
One of the peculiar regulations Of the
dinner, introduced in 1925, is that il
must be served at 8 O'Clock by the
striking of certain church clock, or the
landlord forfeits two bottles of wine, and
if he fails to produce his bill promptly
at $50 o'clock he loses another bottle,

ANARCHISTS CRY REVENGE.

Their sscret Circular Now in Bon.
deId Possession.
Inspector Bonfield of Chicago has in his
possession copies of what purports to be
secret newspaper, but which is in reality
secret circular differing but Estle from the
famous revenge" circular with which Au-
gust Spies called the fatal Haymarket
meeting together two years ago last Nav.
The main difference is that the paper,
which is called the Revenge calls for
active steps on the part Of old time anar-
chists to avenge the "blood thirsty murder
Engel and Fischer. The paper Is
being distributed secretly among the
Anarchist groups, and, although it purports
to be printed in a foreign land it is really
issued in Chicago Certain articles are
printed in three languages, and urge that it
IS absolutely necessary that all true Anarch-
lists should take immediate and vigorous stems
to intimidate the opponents of monopoly,
and thus, prevent similar murders"
1t is said to be not improbable that
the discovery of this sheet will lead to the ar
rest of prominent Anarchists not only in
Chicago but all over the country, and that
the police are only waiting until their chain
of evidence shall have been completed.

quired bonds of $4,000 each, and have been
released. Hronek, the arch conspirator, is

complete with the three arrests already made.

convicted. Any further arrests will be for
the purpose of holding witnesses. The iu-
sspector denies the report Of Chebowa's con-
