SOCI4LIST CELEBRATIONS.
Serentieth anniversary of Liebknecht's
Birth Observed.

Serentieth AnniUersdry of Liebknecltts
Birth Obserred.
BERLIN, GERMANY, March 29.-The
seventieth birthday of Herr William Lieb-
knecht, the Socialist leader, was celebrated
to-day with unusual ceremony, the cele-
5ration being participated in by all of the
Socialist deputies in the Reichstag, the So
cialist members of the Berlin municipality
and the officials of the Socialist party
A grand banquet was held, at which $50
covers were laid, and the chair in which
Herr Liebknecht sat was garlanded with
roses. The Socialist group in the Reich
stag presented their venerable leader with
a bronze yotive medal inscribed, s'To their
senior, Wilhelm Liebknecht, on his seven
tieth birthday, from the Socialist Demo-
Gratis in the German Reichstag." Herr
Singer toasted Herr Liebknecht as "a SOL
dier in the struggle for the liberation of
humanity" and compared their dignified
celebration of his natal day with the war
jubilee and drunkenness of the German
bourgeoisie.
The Vorwaerts urges the Socia lists and
the working people generally to celebrate
May day prudently and calmly, and only
to cease work on that day where it is pos
sible to do so without a danger of collision
with the authorities and the employers.
The tone of the article is vast advance in
moderation as compared with the old cry
of universal strike demonstration.

DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES
Oliver Pike Killed Because He
Knew of Murders in
an Asylum.
Similar Fate of His Companion-They
Were Clubbed to Death Three
Years Ago.

CHICAGO, ILL, March 29.-According
to the story of William Doriot, who ar
rived in Chicago to-day, Oliver Pike, the
young man who was found in trunk il
Austin Thursday night, WAS beaten in the
head three years ago by men who thought
he knew of murders said to have been
committed in an asylum at Steilacoom, a
village but a few miles distant from Sc
attic.
He came west from Fulton, O., at the So
lieitation of schoolboy companion, Sha-
die, who was then superintendent of the
asylum at Steilacoom. Pike worked at the
asylum for many year, when of sudden
he packed his gripsack and went to work
for laundry.
During this time the young man, who
was an eyewitness to many outrages at
the institution, wrote letters to his mother,
who lives at Fulton, Ohio, in which he told
in detail the unnatural scenes he had be-
held at the asylum.
1t is more than three years ago that
young Pike ceased to write letters to
Ohio. When his silence elected inquiries
from the old homestead his school COM
panion wrote to the missing boys mother
lUdI he ledIcu tudb OllfCi hdu UcCH hiiACos
because OF his knowledge of the crimes at
the asylum.
Young Pike died in February, 1893. In
March of the same year his companion
vanished mysteriously. he, too. knew of
the gruesome work at the asylum.
When a description of the dead man
found in the trunk by the two Germans at
Austin was printed in the Cincinnati
papers, Doriot, who is quite old and who
had marveled at the silence of his nephew,
was convinced that the cadaver was that
of Oliver Pike.

ROBERT kNEEBS' RELEASE.

Due to the Fact That SMb0rdinate
Judge Suppressed Evidence.
BERLIN, GERMANY, March 29.-The
action OF the high court at Leipsic in
quashlng the conviction Of Robert Kneebs,
the American horseman who was recently
tried on the charge of ringing the mare
Bethel under the name of Nellie Kneebs
on the German trotting course, was due to
the fact that the court found that fifty-one
witnesses, chiefly Americans, had rendered
their testimony to the defense and had not
been heard by the lower court. The high
court, therefore, quashed the Judgment
against Kneebs and ordered a new trial,
pending which time Kneebs win remain
in prison.

With two days of March left, the Govern
ment receipts for the month have only
reached $4,000, 900. They are not likely
to exceed $26, 100000 for the entire month.
The low receipts have been very disap-
pointing to Treasury officials, who have
been trying to persuade themselves that
business, which is reflected in Government
receipts, was materially improving. The
deficit for the year to date is SIS, 900 900.
In April heavy interest payments come
due. and at the present ratio of receipts
the deficit at the end of the fiscal year may
approximate $1,000, coo. Secretary Car

A Kodak F1end Wins In n Contest
for His Photograph.
A good many stories have been told
Of Thomas 3. Reed since his advent
into public life. The big Maine man
has met and vanquished, a good many
political foes in. his day, but not long
ago the ex-speaker ran across an OPP
ponent whom he could not down, al
though he fought harder than ever be-
fore to overcome his antagonist. Dur
ing a recent visit to Boston a Boston
Globe artist was sent out to make a
snap shot of the big ex-speaker on the
street. After a long wait outside the
Republican state committee headquar-
tiers, McKinley's presidential rival
came down the street with ponderous
step and elboWed his way through the
crowd of local politicians who occu-s
pied q large portion of the sidewalk
in front of the city hall. There the
kodak fiend espied him, and, adjusting
his kodak, clicked" into it picture

artist to himself as he ran ahead of
Mr.. Reed, .swaying down the narrow
street. This time Mr.. Reed got his eye
on the man with the kodak, and was
bound he would not let him get pic
ture of him: AS soon as he saw the
artist pointing at him he threw up his
arms. On one he carried a light over
coat and in the other hand an UNI

ed and shouted; Here, what are you

dak man, as he snapped his instrument
and skipped off. -..s<%fs
Mr. Reed has never seen that pic
ture, says a writer in Donahoe's, but
if he ever does he will have to laugh
in spite of himself He is twisted all
out of shape, with his arms, coat and

Ola m o and Dirt,

She was not an especially hand

hands, long, slender and very white.
Like most women who think they
have good hands, she wore no gloves.
But she wore rings. l counted no less
than five on one hand, and there were,
at least, two more on the other. There
were two or three great marquise
rings, an unusually heavy wedding
ring, and altogether some what more
than a dozen varieties Of gems, with
diamonds especially conspicuous.
Those hands might have been daz-
zling. but whenever she held them up

that "when. shown a telegram from

Mr. Oliver said that, so far as he, was
concerned, there was not a single
word of truth in the statement; that
the relation between his interests and
the Duluth, Mesaba & Northern peo-
pie were not strained; that he had no
disposition, no desire to encourage or
assist in the building Of another line
Of railroad, and that he thought that
the lines Of railroad now in the coun-
try should be encouraged by paying
them a fair rate Of freight, SO that
they could provide additional facili-
ties for moving the heavy tonnage
now pressing on the lines. Mr.. Oliver
stated that his treatment by the Rock

and he had no reason to anticipate
any change in their policy" $

AS for the Hudson bay enyirons, there

There is, first2Of ALL upon the north

Churchill river and the west coast Of

square miles, much larger than Great
Britain and Ireland, and somewhat
larger than Sweden It has not been
explored since Hearne's three journeys
in 1892. His maps are not even
roughly approximate, according to his.
own account. The second area lies be-
tween the Severn and Attawapishka1
rivers and the coast Of Hudson BAY.
It comprises $4,000 square miles,
larger area than that Of Nova Scotia.
The third is the area to the south and
east Of James bay, embracing $4,000
square miles, where the Bell expedi-
ton has just finished a superficial sur
vey. This region may be compared in
size to Portugal. It is the nearest Of
these unexplored regions to large cen
tiers of population. The fourth area
comprises almost the entire interior
Of the Labrador peninsula, or north
east territory, and contains 299,0OO
square miles, or more than twice the
area Of Great Britain and Ireland,
with Newfoundland thrown in. Prof
Hind, Mr.. A. p. Low and Mr.. r. e.
