WASHINGTON. March l6.-Represen.
tative Linton of Michigan, the leader
Of the A. p. A. sentiment in the house,
received. some days ago, a letter from
Captain Thomas Phelan of Kansas City,
the well known Irish agitator, in which
Captain Phelan challenged him to fight
. duel at Bladensburg. the challenge
being preceded by a long denunciation
of Mr.. Unions course in opposing the
church school appropriations and the
placing of the statue Of Father Mar.
quette in the Capitol. Mr.. Linton paid
no attention to the communication, and
from some other source it found its
way into the newspapers.
Has Many Letters From Cranks.
Mr.. Linton was asked if he had made
any reply to the challenge. He said
Ever since the house defeated the
appropriations for sectarian ins itutions
in the District of Columbia bill, partly
through my efforts, my mail has been
loaded every day with great numbers
of letters from religious fanatics and
cranks, denouncing me violently,
threatening dire vengeance and dcath
in various forms All of these letters l
have thrown in the waste basket
There has been SO many that there was
not time to read them all, and l
have paid no attention to any Of them.
This letter from Phelan, was one
of them, and suppose went into
the wastebasket with others I had
forgotten the letter, nor did l think
who Phelan was until the letter and
sketch of his career was printed In the
papers. Since publicity has been given
to it, may conclude to make some
reply, not SO much to Phelan as to the
fanatical spirit which he represents.
II am not an enemy to the church.
but I am unalterably opposed to gov.
ernment appropriations to assist sec.
tartan work and to any sort of union OF
church and state, and shall continue to
oppose them"

storm of popular anger, which swept
over Italy. when the news Of the defeat

not believed any steps will be taken to
punish them. Negotiations with King

countermanded the instructions sent to
various points for the hurrying forward
of reinforcements to Africa. The new
cabinet is settling down to work and
the financial situation is brighter than
anticipated. Under these circum.
stances Italy breathes freer than for
some time past, and there is q feeling

bringing about this change from blank
despair to great hope in the future.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.
Many People Could Become Rich If
They Only Knew How.


Statistics show that 50 per cent. of all
persons engaged in business in the United
States fall
In other words, only per cent. of all
our business men are fortunate enough
to make competency and keep it.
Do you know what is the cause OF this?
Wise men who have Investigated the
matter tell US that the men who succeed
are men of brains, with strong nerves
and great will power. The men who fail
are the weak, irritable, dyspeptic per-
sons.
Is there any way in which such people
can improve their health? Yes; un-
doubtedly there is. Many people have
fortunately discovered that it is quite
possible and some of them are giving
others the benefit of their experience
Mr. Selden Fish, prominent Chicago
attorney, recently said: Il was com
pletely broken down through too close
application to business when / was per-
suaded to try Duffys Pure Malt Whisky,
Before many weeks had passed / was
completely restored to health. / am con-
vinced that this whisky is natures great
remedy for any wasting disease
Mr. E. G. Avilla, of the Association for
Improving the Condition of the Poor,
Brooklyn, N. Y, says: i used to suffer
terribly from severe headaches and ner-
vous prostration, but | have been COM
pletely restored by the use of Duffy's Pure
Malt Whisky.
1t should be remembered that ordinary.
food and drink cannot supply the great
vital force which people with active
brains and bodies require. This great
stimulating principle, however, is con-
tanned in Duffy's Pure Malt, and that is
why every person who takes it receives
such wonderful benefit. There is nothing
like it for building up the health and Civ
ing weak, weary people new life and
vigor.

MIGRATORY INSTINCT IN GEESE
A Minnesota Farmer Sees His FLOCK
Fly Away From Him.


A farmer named Bidweli, living
eleven miles beyond Minneapolis be-
yond the Minnesota bottoms, tells re-
markable story about some domesti-
Gated Canadian geese that are his prop
erty. Mr. Bidwell is in Minneapolis
with load of poultry, and when the
subject of goose shooting was broached
he had a few very interesting remarks
to make about wild geese.
Two years ago" he said, my wife's
brother, Fred Roach, came up from
Florida to visit me. Among the things
he brought along was a setting of ten
Canadian goose eggs. He wanted to find
out how the birds would do in captivity,
and was little interested in the prob
lem, too. I set the eggs under a big old
tame goose and she Matched out eight of
them. Two got killed one way and an
other before they were very old, but the
other six reached maturity Last spring,
when the flight of geese was going
north I noticed that my gray fellows
seemed a good deal interested in them
One day I saw the lot rise up and cir
Gle several times when a flock of wild
birds was going over, so I clipped all
their wings and made sure of them for
the time being. l meant to clip them
again this autumn, but somehow in the
hurry of the fall work I overlooked it,
Beside, the geese seemed to have got
over all idea of flying away, and l felt
pretty secure Of them.
Just about week ago 1 was fixing
up haystack that had been blown over
when I noticed a big flock of wild geese
coming from the north. They were
away UP in the air and going at ter
rife rate. A flock Of about sixty of my
geese were feeding a short distance
from where I was at work I did not
notice the big flock going south after
giving one glance at them, until, hear
ing their cries close at hand, saw that
they had decoyed to my tame flock and
We're circling about over them. They
had made about two big sweeps, filing
the air with sharp calls, when my do
mesticated Canadians let go an answer
ing cry and rose straight up in the air
Two of the tame geese went with them,
and the others, after a numbering at
tempt at flight, settled down to earth
again. The birds that had been Matched
from wild eggs, with their two tame
companions, after making a couple of
little circles, went straight lOf the
flock, and the entire lot headed south
together. 1 ought to have clipped them
again this fall, but / didn't, and the
birds have gone"
1t will be interesting to see whether
Mr. Bidwell's birds return to the farm
next spring. Bogardus, in his book on
shooting, refers to the easy homestead
ing Of wild geese, and cites instances of
their having gone south in the autumn
only to return with the spring fight to
the home of their youth.-Minneapo polls

ESTEE'S FAILURE.

Reddlng Free Press: Mr.. Estee was
unable or unwilling to advance a plan
as substitute for the measures now
introduced in Congress, none of them
appearing to suit him. And such seems
to be the predicament in which all op-
posers of the funding bill find them
selves; thereby illustrating the truth of
the statement, that it is far more diff
cult to construct than to tear down.
Estee has always been an adept at
lodging Issues. He is a master in box
ing the compass on all these measures
which engage public attention. No man
has tried harder than he to secure the
good will of the people, and none have
failed so signally. His politfcallife and
example should be a warning to brainy
men, to teach them that it is better to
be right than to gain the temporary
applause of the multitude. The
