Won by a Cuff Button.

''Do you see that peculiar looking stud
that man is wearing on his shirt 'front.'"
said hotel clerk the other day, point
ing to a gentleman standing near by,
and on whose expansive bosom was
fastened gold button with bird in
black enamel upon it.
''That man is St. Louis drummer,
and he has been wearing that stud for
twenty years to my knowledge" added
the clerk. 1T was twenty years ago
that he married a relative of Patrick
Egan, of Nebraska. Previous to that
time a certain young business man Of
Chicago was also counting her, and
among the presents he once gave her was
pair of cuff buttons, of which that stud
was one. The rival saw these buttons
one day On the young lady's cuffs, and
in jest purloined one of them and placed
it in his shirt front. When leaving the
house afterWard he encountered the
Chicago sutton, who spied the jewel. An
explanation was demanded of the young
lady and an angry scene followed, and
the Chicago man left in huff.
When the St. Louis drummer called
the next time he proposed and was ac-
cepted. After their marriage his wife
told him that had the Chicago lover pro-
posed first, which he undoubtedly would
have done but for the cuff button episode,
she would have accepted him. Ever
since that time the happy husband has
been wearing that button, and money
could not buy it of him."-San francisco

DANGER ON TIE ELEVAToR.

People Who Should BE Careful How
They Use the Rapid Lifts.
The general use of rapid travelling ele-
vators is having an effect upon the peo-
pie who use them that is causing good
deal of speculation as to whether 1t Is
safe for person having a weak heart to
ride up and down on them habitually.
Some persons believe that the rapid mo-
ton and sudden stops are liable to pro-
duce heart disease. Doctors are not posi-
tive on the subject, but their opinions
seem to lend color to the theory that
person with a weak heart should not
ride frequently on such elevators.
This is certainly a very interesting
question" said DR.. Thomas J. Mays,
who makes diseases of the heart a
specially. 81 have heard people COM
planning of a sinking feeling in these
rapid transit elevators, but whether the
movement Of the elevator has any effect
on the heart or not am not prepared to
say. When persons heart Is diseased
in any way the slightest change of en-
vironment will affect it, of course. The
movement of the elevator causes a
may not cause an aggravation Of the
heart trouble. Doubtless it quickens
the movement of the heart, but without
investigation of the subject it would
seem to me that the movement of a
rapid transit elevator would only affect
those persons whose hearts are affected.
However, am not prepared to give an
opinion without study of the question. !"
DR.. Frank Woodbury., another physi-
clan who gives heart troubles special
attention, also said he had not studied
the question, but he was rather inclined
J to think the movement of rapid transit
| elevator would affect a person; "but, "
said he, Il think it would have more
effect on the nerves than on the heart. /
came down in one of those elevators
this morning with lady, and she com
| planned of a sinking feeling, as if she
was going to faint Not having given
the matter any serious consideration, I
am not prepared to give an opinion, but
should think nervous people would
| very probably be affected by the sudden
and swift upward or downward motion
| Of an elevator"
DR.. John B. Shoemaker was another
physician who declined to express an
| opinion. 81 have heard the matter dis
cussed," said he, "but have not given
it personal attention. The motion Of a
rapid elevator undoubtedly has tenn
porary effect on some people, but whether
it affects the heart permanently or not
l cannot say"
| Another physician said that many
| persons nerves and hearts are affected
by the excessive use of tobacco, and the
rapid motion of the elevator will always
| affect them. The heart is always af-
fected by the constant use of tobacco,
and its movement easily quickened by
excitement of any kind. This is espe-
cially the case with persons of nervous
temperament, and those persons always
have sinking feeling when rapid transit
elevator suddenly starts or stops.
Whether these rapid transit elevators
have permanent effect upon the heart
or nerves, he would not venture an
opinion. Record.

Training a Dog to Dig for Truffies.

1t has been found that dogs could be
trained to hunt truffies, and so great is
the demand in France for the truff1e that
many of the canine species are now, in
certain districts, possessed of this esti-
mable talent. The training through
which they pass in order to acquire a
scent is a decidedly agreeable one. To
begin with, finely cut or sliced truffles
are mixed daily with their food, until at
length they develop liking for the
flavor.
Afterward their owners conceal in
some portion of field where truf1es are
supposed to exist little tin dish of fi,et
aux truffes, covering the same with a
few handfuls of earth. The dog is then
brought out and urged to hunt for the
dish. goaded by an empty stomach.
When he at length finds it he is caressed
by his master, and thus in the space OF
q few weeks he will readily learn to
hunt for the vegetable itself.-Washing.

HOPE FOR OAKLAND
Her Water Front Is Not
Lost.
CHICAGO WON BACK HER OWN,
And the Issues Involved Were Nearly
the Same as in the Suit
Brought by Davie.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE Chicago
Stake 'front.' decision by the United States
Supreme Court is the subject of some dis.
cussion amohg Californians here, for the
reason that the issues involved are almost
identical with those in the Oakland water
front case. THE CALL CORES pondent has
talked with some of the California Repre-
sentatiyes In Congress who are lawyers
and who are familiar with the controversy
now being waged at Oakland.
The Illinois Central utilized the bottom of
nayigable lake at Chicago for its wharves
ana piers, while at Oakland the property
Involved seems to be op tide land, but this
difference is not regarded as essential. In
the decision rendered by Justice Field the
principle set forth is that a State Legisla-
ture should not have the authority to grant
important concessions of this character to
corporations, thereby affecting largely the
advantages that should be enjoyed BY the
whole pc ople.
1t is believed that If the Oakland water
front cases are carried to the United States
Supreme Court the decision would be the
same as In the Chicago lake-front case.
although the two cases are not exactly
similar.

SHIPS ON THE LAKES.
England Has No War Vessels Sta
toned There.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Z. - The President
to-day, in answer to resolution, trans
mitted TO the Senate the report of the Secre-
tary OF State on the agreement between the
United States and Great Britain concerning
armsments on the Great Lakes. The reso-
luton called for an opinion whether the
agreement of 1917 was now held to be in
force.
The Secretary Of State says the CORE
spondence exchanged in 1864 shows it is so
regarded. 1t does not appear, he says, that
any British or Canadian vessel is now or
has been for many years stationed on tie
lakes.
The report further says however. that it
has been learned by the Treasury Depart
ment that two vessels lately constructed for
the Canadian Government at Owen Sound
and styled revenue cutters" are In reality
Capable of adaptation to naval purposes.
Additional weight is lent to this suspicion
by the precautions taken to guard these
vessels from public inspection.
In closing. Secretary Foster says that 1t
seems most desirable now. in view of the
long lapse of time and the vast changes that
have been wrought, that the old arrange
ment. now grown obsolete In practice and
surviving In letter only as q declared
guarantee of international peace, should be
modified to fit the new order Of things aud
with such adaptation to the exigencies of
the future as prudence may forecast.

STRIKING ON PRINCIPLE.
Railway TeIegraphers Will Go Out
for Their Order.

CHICAGO. Dec. 7.-To-morrow morning.
at 10 o'clock, SIS telegraph-operators on
the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific, and
200 more on the Burlington, Cedar Rapids
and Northern Railroad will strike. The
trouble comes from the refusal OF the off.
cials OF the Rock Island to confer with the
committee OF the Order of Railway Teleg
raphers. which has been trying to discuss
scale of wages and certain changes in
working hours with the officials. There is
no great difference on these points, put the
committee was appointed by the Railway
Telegraphers and not by the employees OF
the Rock Island road, and on this account
the officers refused to meet it. although the
majority of the committee is employed by
the Rock Island. The officials declared
they would treat with their own men, but
would not recognize the right of the Rail-
way Telegraphers TO Interfere.
The refusal to recognize the order pre-
cipitated the strike. At meeting of the
committee, presided over by Chief Ramsey,
the matter was discussed at length and the
sentiment was strong in favor OF strike.
Therefore. at the end of the session, the
order was issued for strike as above stated.

PARkHURSTS DEFENSE.
ByrEes Cannot Excuse His Own Neg
Iect by Accusing Others

New YORK, Dec. REV DIR. Parkhurst
Issued reply 10 Superintendent Byrnes'
allegations tonight He says that for the
sake OF argument he will. for the time,
plead guilty to all the charges made by
Byrnes. Then he asks il bis guilt justifies
the Superintendent of Police In violating
the law by allowing gambling-houses and
houses of ill-repute to run. DR.. Parkhurst
then admits that he had an obscene picture
in his pocket at one of the trials last spring.
with which he intended to illustrate to the
court and jury the disgusting revels he saw
in certain houses. but upon considering the
matter he decided not to produce it. Where
he got the picture he does not say.
AS to shadowing of city officials he says !:
THAT was done and well DONE 1t was
done in the exercise OF distinct right
which l have, not as president of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Crime simply,
but in my right as a citizen. We have gone
quite too long without watching our officials.
and that is part of the difficulty we are
laboring under to-day"
Touching the divorce case, he said it bad
nothing to do with his onslaught on crime.
BE continues by reproaching the depart
ment Of police for not taking hold of the
work commenced by the society of which ne
Is president.
