THE GOGGlN DECISION.

CHICAGO, Sept. l.-Scandal was piled up
today in the litigation over the worlds
fair Sunday y-closing question. Judge
Goggin told his side of the story at length.
His remarkable explanation of his unpre-
cedented decision in favor of Sunday-open-
ing of the fair is as follows:
In my opinion it was the judges duty
to decide the case without reference to
what either German, American, Scandi-
navian or Irish newspaper thought of 1t,
but simply as to where right and Justice
lay. / was within my right when kicked
Judge Breutano off the bench with me.
and kicked him off / did. / wanted no
more OF his advice. SO far as the law goes
! was the presiding judge. and my order
WAS the only one which prevailed. |
would, however, have yielded To The advice
and counsel of the judges sitting with me
had the advice been rightly gwen. Judge
Dunno dissented from me, and L expected
his dissent Had Judge Breptano done as
Judge Cunne did the majority opinion OF
the court would have prevailed, and L
would have yielded my own opinion to
that of the other two judges. But Judge
Brentano, after agreeing with me on
propositions of law, shifted his vote be-
cause as he says, the German papers told
him he must. Then did what did, and
took the case into my own hands"

The White Rose. :

Tradition says that at first all roses
were white, and were so in the Garden
of Eden before the fall. Mother Eve,
as she sauntered among the flowers,
spied the white rose and kissed it. The
rose, at the touch of her virgin lips
upon its petals, blushed, and so have
roses done ever since. The rose, now
that the soft fame had been lindled in
it's breast, followed the fortunes of
Eve, and, when she was driven forth,
covered itself with prickles so that no
profane hand might ever touch it or
pluck its sweets. 1t is the white rose
which is the rose of silence, and it was
a white rose that was carved and de-
picted upon the ceilings of banqueting
cham bers in the olden times when con-
fdences were exchanged under the
rose" This, indeed, was the reason
for the Jacobins adopting the white
rose as their badge; and that proba bly,
is also the reason for the mem bers of a
loyal but secret society wearing three
rosettes on their badges even now

SENATOR AND REPORTER.


Tho Way Nebraska Statesman Was In
terviewed by Gothamite Journalist.
Speaking of newspapers and the
men employed by them, Senator Man
derson lately had an experience that is
likely to last him, says the Washing
ton Post. When any question of grave
public concern is on the carpet il is
the habit of some of the New York
papers to round up anywhere from
two dozen to forty reporters who never
before saw Washington in their lives,
dump them into car, and send them
over to do interviewing. The men
themselves are not to blame, because
they do as they are ordered; nor are
they TO be censured for lack of intimate
personal knowledge of senator's and
representatives. as they have been
earning a precarious livelihood by re-
porting police happenings and writing
editorials for their papers On arriving
in Washington they brush the straw
from their hair and make wild rush
for the capitol. One OF them was in
the corridor back of the senate cham
ber when the Nebraska statesman
came along.
Are you Mr.. Manderson?" he asked.
Il am Senator Henderson" was the
somewhat formal response.
What state are you from?"
The senator gorgonized him with
stony western stare. Young man." he
said. docs your paper own a congress

''0h, | suppose SOL suppose SO.

edged toward the door and held it
partly open-'I think that it is a
metal. have no other view 70 ex-

1t was as bad as the historic meet
ing between Senator Sherman and
Representative Niedringhaus of st.
Louis, which occurred some years
ago.
''Ach Gott, senator" he said, II was

TOLLING A DEATH IN MAINE
A Curious Custom Maintained in Remote
Regions of the Pine Tree State.

"A Curious Custom Maintained In Ecmote
Regions of the Pine Tree State.
The traveller through some of the
more remote rural regions of Maine
occasionally hears what most men OF
three score and ten remember as a IA
miliar sound in their young days-the
tolling Of church bell on the death
of denizen of the neighborhood, the
strokes numbering the years of the
PERSONS life. There is something pc
culiarly solemn about the use OF the
bell, SO long neglected in the more
populous communities, and to writer
for the Lewiston Journal no funeral
service ever brought the fact of death
home with the same pathos as listen
ing to the unexpected sound of the
death-bell," startling the community
into hush, broken for n few minutes
only by the low, whispered query:
''Why, who can that be?" Then. as
the tolling went on, the count was
kept carefully to solve the mystery.
The tolling began usually very soon
after the breath had left the body,
and before the news had spread

aged person the count would require
considerable time, while all would sit
very still and listen for the strokes. A
very dramatic scene connected with
this old custom of tolling the age OF
the dead is told by Miss Mulock in her
novel, "a Brave Lady" 1t is where
the shallow rector has used other
money than his own, and is on the
point of exposure, and his wife sees
no way to avert the disgrace about to
settle on her husband and children,
when the solemn sound of the death
bell peals over. the little village
Breathlessly the count is kept and the
bell goes on tolling until there is only
one person in the community whose
age will compare with its stroke-tbe
wealthy old dean who has told the rec
tors wife he has made her his heir. A
dear friend lost, a fortune gained-the
means brought to hand to make good
her husbands wrong-doing is
what the death-beH tells her. Hearing
the old familiar sound pealin9solemn-
ly over Maine hamlet the other day
brought this scene to mind most viv-
idly.

Humsuoo,Ne OUR INVENTORS.
A Bogus Partisan Academy Selliug Them
Gilt Medals 1t Ton Dollars Apiece.

| A Bogus Paris,an Academy Selllug Them
Gilt Medals ut Ten Dollars Apiece.
A swindling scheme which clever
Partisan has applied successfully to
many American inventors has just
been exposed by the authorities of the
Franklin institute, says the Philadel-
phia Record. From the Office of an
alleged Partisan Inventors academy"
in Paris, France, its president" E.
Boettcher, sent circulars broadcast
among the inventors of the United
States, informing them that they had
been elected members of honor of the
academy, and that with this distinc-
ton went a ''frst-class diploma" and
great gold medal" This valuable
title" naively announces the circular,
will be no expense to you. but if you
are desirous to receive the medal and
diploma you would have to send us e
post-money order Of ten dollars to
cover the admission taxes, freight,
etc, and we shall send both well
packed and free Of charge to your ad-
dress"
The circular which lured the credu-
lous inventors to invest their ten dol
lars each is got up with all the usual
academic recommendations. The pres
ident of honor is E. de A. des Masures,
alleged to have been mayor and
knight of the Legion of Honor.
Boettcher is the president director,
and there is q long list of directors
with imposing titles.
How these men, many of whom are
of good standing, came to allow their
names to be used as directors is mex
plicable. The attention of the insti-
tute was first drawn to this widespread
swindling scheme by inquiries as to
the standing of the Partisan Invent
ors' academy" and so numerous did
these become that DR.. Wahl determined
to make a crucial examination Of the
matter. He did SO and, as a result, he
felt justified in issuing this open letter
to American inventors:
American inventors are hereby in
formed that M. Boettcher and his
academy are frauds. There is the best
official ;elthority for the statement
that NJ. Boettcher is engaged in the
preparation of a swindle; that his
academy has no existence save on
paper; that his diplomas and medals
have absolutely no value. and that his
only visible means of support are the
fees derived from credulous American
inventors"
The information which led to the is
sue of this letter was obtained from
Consul Voisson, who wrote to the de-
partrnent of agriculture and public
works of Paris In behalf of the insti-
tute and procured Boettcher's record.
His academy" was shown to be pure
myth.
Boettcher's method in sending out
his circulars is supposed to have been
to consult the recently recorded inyen-
tions in the patent Office Official Ga
zette" and spread his circulars broad
cast among the inventors. Many had
their vanity tickled and became easy
victims. The medal was always sent
when the ten dollars was forwarded
and is neat and pretty in design and
skillfully gilded.
