MESSAGE on THE CURRENCY
President Decides TO send One to Congress
at Once--W arshirs Ordered to Tan

the NOors.

WASHINGTON, July THE senate
met today with definite agreement
made last night shah the final vote on
the tariff bill would be taken before the
days session closed. II appeared to
have little effect in stimulating public
interest, as there was not that rush to
the galleries marking the advent of an
important event. The chaplain's open
ing prayer gave thanks for the sinking
of transient ana local issues, and be-
sought 'that the tariff bill may disap-
point the fears Of it's opponents and ex-
cuse the hopes OF it's advocates in it's ef-
feet upon public prosperity and activ-
ity."
At the request of Mr.. Pettigrew the
official papers relating to Japan's adop-
ton of the gold standard were ordered
printed as q senate document.
TIL tariff bill passed the senate by a
vote OF ~ to 70.

THE SHREW MOUSE.
Some Queer Superstitions About q Harm
less Little Animal.


The shrew, or shrew mouse, as it is
commonly called, is found in nearly all
parts Of the world. 1t is distinguished
by an elongated, pointed muzzle, small
eyes, plantigrade, six toed feet and
glands that secrete musky fluid. AL
together it closely resembles a mouse,
but it is really not related to the mouse
family.
When at home, it is either under a
pile of rubbish or in hole which it
has burrowed in the earth. 1t is noctur-
nal in its habits, but perfectly harm
less. yet at one time it was much dis
liked and prosecuted because it was
thought to be dangerous, mischievous
animal Among the Italians the notion
was prevalent that the bite of shrew
was extremely poisonous. The French
and the English believed that if shrew
ran over an animals foot the animal
felt great pain and eventually became
paralyzed. Hence If horse, COW or a
goat became little stiff in it's limbs
the foolish people at once declared it
"shrew struck, and the poor shrews
had to suffer in consequence.
OF course the "shrew struck" animal
had to have something to cure it, so an
ash tree was selected and deep hole
was bored into its trunk Then shrew
was captured, put alive into the hole,
the hole was securely plugged and the
innocent little animal was left to die of
starvation.
The ignorant believed that, after such
an act, the ash tree had power to cure
"shrew struck" animals, and whenever
an animal became inactive or little
numb in its limbs its owner hurried to
the "shrew ASH" cut aIswitch from it
and switched the "shrew struck" beast.
The smarting caused by the switching
naturally made the helpless animal
move about as much as it possibly could,
and in short time it was pronounced
cured. -Phiiadelphi Times.
CHICAGO, July THE police now
have theory that the mysterious
shooting of Bicyclist Nelson while in
the company of Mrs. Staples in Wash
ington Park last week was case of
mistaken identity, that the shots were
fired by a highwayman and that rob-
berry was the motive. Incidentally they
are searching for Prof. @. E. Copeland,
formerly principal of the high school at
Delaware, Ohio, who the police think
was the intvpded victim Of the robbers.
