Experts Say ALI of Generation Have the
Same characteristics.
Experts in handwriting say that all
the people of a single generation write
alike, and it is we'll known that most
French handwriting has strong family
likeness to the eyes Of others than
Frenchmen. Nearly all Cinnamon Of
the washhouse class look alike to SUPER
fetal observers, and persons unaccus-
toned to colored persons find difficulty
in distinguishing one from another.
1t needs, however, comparison of
two or three family photograph albums
OF 20 or 80 years ago to convince men
and women of today that there are strik-
ing superficial likenesses running
through Americans Of given genera
tion. All these old albums show curious
resemblances, chiefly perhaps Of dress
and face, but sufficiently striking for
one family album at first glance to be
taken for another. AS page after page

succession of men, women and children

The Richest Nation.

An investigation Of a table Of the
comparative wealth per capita of nations
will show where Great Britain gets all
the money she invests in the United
States and elsewhere It shows in plain
figures that England is the creditor ma
ton Of the world, although she has a
great national debt. This also shows why
Englishmen of the present generation
are almost unanimous in insisting on
the single gold standard.
Excluding Alaska, the amount Of
wealth per head Of the United States is
e1,039. Nevada is little state that
some people are trying to blot out of ex-
istence. yet Nevada is the richest state
in the Union per capita, the average
wealth to each individual being So, 941.
The whole extreme western division of
our country is very rich, the average to
each person being So, $50. The poorest
state in the Union is South Carolina,
with an average Of only $S48.
, Great Britain, including even Ireland,
averages Of wealth to each Individual

aires move over there and take their
money with them, the average will be
Increased. The poorest country in
Europe is Russia, with only $S71. 81 to
each person. The next poorest is Italy,

customer named Lander, always il

would take my oath there was not an
other man alive marked just like him.
At the end of that voyage Lander killed
his wife and cut his own throat. He
severed the windpipe, but he recovered.
The wound in his throat healed, but
left hole, which he had to cover with
his hand when he spoke. He breathed
through silver tube. He was tried and
convicted, and happeningsto be in port
was present at the hanging and saw
the body buried.
''In 1890 was on the gold coast Of
Africa. Ashore one day came across a
man bossing a gang Of negro laborers.
His form seemed strangely familiar, and
I started with surprise when saw him
place his hand over his throat when
giving some orders. Going closer, I saw
the scar, the wen, the lobeless ear, the
hole in the throat, the silver tube and
every feature and characteristic Of a
man I saw hanged and buried got
into conversation with him. He said
his name was DAIMLER. He was unable
to tell how he came by the wound in
his throat, ear and face. He said he
must have had long illness. He re-
membered being in a hospital, he said,
but it was like a dream, and he had no
recollection Of his life before that.
''He said he remem bered, while still
ill, taking a long voyage-he didn't
know where from-until he had landed

looked like one he had seen in a dream,
but he knew he had never seen me be-

try to. 1 am only telling the facts. I
don't know whether DAIMLER was Lander
come to life again Or a reincarnation of
him. Maybe Lander's neck was not
broken and some scientific chap had
been experimenting Oh him with bat
terry. All I know is that no two men
could possibly be marked in exactly the
same way. If it was Lander, he was
greatly benefited by the change, as on
inquiry I found that he bore splendid
reputation as quiet, law abiding, peace.

Of the calf Of my right leg. The pain

sea.

on my ability to hold on to the cord.

PORTLAND, Ore. July l6.-JudSe Bel
linger today ordered a decree of foreclos-
ure in the case of the American Loan and
Trust company against the Oregon Short
Line & Utah Northern Railway company
Judge Bellinger, in ordering the fore
closure of the consolidated mortgage
gave brief oral decision. He paid little
attention to the question of jurisdiction
raised by the defense. He said that the
road was now in the~kands of the Union
Pacific receivers, who were appointed by
the court and were officers of the court
The road was controlled by the court.
and the suits concerning it had to be de-
cided here. He said that the consolidated
mortgage, amounting 10 $40, 600 600, was
not disputed by the Short Line attorneys.
They had not denied that IL was valid
nor that the interest due on the bonds
issued under it had not been paid In
the Trust company, they had not set
up any claim against the legality of the
mortgage.
Then he went on to say that in the ar
guments which the Short Line attorneys
made against foreclosure, no objections
to the PLAINTIFF s right to collect had been
made. The objections were purely tech
meal. They concerned merely the form
of procedure in the courts. The answer
had said that the mortgage was not fully
described in the bill. but it was not de-
true copy, and it was therefore to be in
ferred that it was a correct copy.
The decision means that the Oregon
Short Line & Utah Northern, or such por-
ton of il as lies within this circuit, must
be sold at public auction to satisfy the
consolidated mortgage The foreclosure
is upon the failure of the company to pay
its interest. Before any action can be
taken, the case must be heard and de-
cided by two other United States judges
-Sanborn, of st. Paul, and Merritt, of Salt
Lake.
Part OF the company's property is in
Wyoming, which is in Judge Sanborn's
circuit, and in Utah, which is in Judge
Merritt's district. 1t is presumed that
Judges Sanborn and Merritt will concur
in the opinion and make DEGREES to cover
the entire property of the company
There may be much delay about it, be-
cause these judges may permit the Short
Line attorneys to Wfth1raw their answer
to the bill of complaint and file another,
as they tried to do here. Should this be
permitted by the other judges, it will
mean further delay. 1t is understood that
the road will be bought in at the fore
closure sale by the American Loan and
Trust company, subject to the first mort
gage bonds. held by the Farmers Loan
and Trust company, and thus secure con-
troll of the road, as it was desired to do
by the appointment of separate receivers.

DEATH OF A. N. TowNE.
Second Vice-President of the S. p.
Passes Away.


Passes Away.
SAN FRANCISCO, July ia. N.
Towne, second vice-president and gen
eral manager of the Southern Pacific
company, died this morning.
The fortune of Mr.. Towne is estima-
ted at 100000 The bulk of property
consists of $4,000 acres of ranch land in
the San Joaquin valley.
General superintendent Fillmore said
this afternoon that the death of Mr..
Towne would cause no immediate
changes in the railroad offices. He had
heard nothing from either of the Hunt
ingtons. The exact whereabouts of c.
p. Huntington is not known, as he is
travelling in Germany and it is not ex-
pected that he will be heard from for
some time. H. E. Huntington is on his
way east from Council Bluffs, and may
not yet have received the dispa tch
that was sent him.
1t is said that H. z. Huntington, who
has had the position of assistant to
to the president Of the Southern Pa
cific, will succeed to the second vice
presidency.
William G. Curtis, engineer of the
maintenance of way department of
the company, and chief assistant to Mr..
Towne as general manager, will prob
ably succeed him, temporarily, at least,
in the last mentioned capacity.

Wholesale Murderer.

PHILADELPHIA, July 16.-The finding
OF the bodies of Alice and Nellie PitzeI
in Toronto strengthens the belief that H.
Il. Holmes. alias Herman Mudgett, is
the murderer Of six persons. Two are
young women of Chicago, named Will
liams, whom he induced to go to Fort
Worth, Texas, and whom he robbed Of
SS0GN. The women were never seen af-
terS that. The two Pitzel children
deaths are placed to his account There
is a third child, a boy, yet to be ac-
counted for VINO it is believed he killed.
The great mystery of all is what be-
came of Pitzel, the man whose life was
insured. It is believed he was also a
victim of Holmes. Holmes refuses to
talk with a reporter. He knows that the
children's bodies have been found.
p. eSident Fourse said: Everything
points to the fact that Holmes plotted 10
destroy the entire Pitzel family. We
found a house in Detroit where Holmes
and the boy Howard had been together
and there were traces Of huge fire
built in the furnace, from which we in
fer he burned the boys corpse. The be-
lief is also that ne attempted to destroy
Mrs. Pitel in Burlington, VT. by having
her handle a can Of nitro glycerine that
he left in the house she occupied. Should
1t be proven that Holmes murdered the
children il will be strong circumstantial
evidence that he killed their father. He
will undoubtedly be tried here for the
latter crime.
