HOW TO GET RICH.
Senator Brice Gives Sound Advice to
Young Men.

Senator Calvin S. Brice of Ohio
talked the other day to a New York
Journal reporter about wealth and how
to acquire it. Senator Brice has ac-
quired riches and he is a self-made
man. Far back in the misty DAYS of
his young manhood he drove a canal
boat mule on the Erie canal. Today
he is many times a millionaire, a
power in politics and prominent in
New York, Newport and Washington
society.
The senator talked with the reporter

ton. Il am glad to talk about getting
rich and the young mans chances of

The New Idaho Senator.

Caldwell Tribune: The Boise
Statesman is suffering another
spasm of virtuous Indignation.
The Statesman's piety. purity and deli
cacy will yet be the death of it. The
last shock to it's moral sensibilities re-
suited from the election of Henry Heit-
field to the United States senate. The
Statesman convulsed with grief sobs:
He is lacking in those qualities of
craftsmanship which are expected in
United States senator" And mourn
fully adds: 1T would have been bet
ter that no one were elected or words
to that effect. As everybody
clearly understands the cause of the
Statesman's dolorous outpourings, it
is safe to say the equanimity of the
state will not be much disturbed there
by.
The Tribune knows nothing about the
Hon. Henry Heitfeld, except what can
be learned from common report. He
has the reputation of being a respect
able citizen, an honest man and a sue
cessful farmer. If he were a dude ar
rayed in collars and cuffs, cigarettes,
cane and mOnocle, he might be more
acceptable to the Statesman. But the
great commonality have not reached
the esthetic altitude requisite to the
Heitfeld's neighbOrs regard him as a
man of sterling character and sound
judgment Those may not be the
qualities expected of United States
senator, but it strikes us that they win
not entirely incapacitate Mr.. Heitfeld.
The Statesman yearns for popular cleo
ton of United States senators as d
sure preventative against the ascend
ancy of men lacking essential quail
ties Were not Hon. Jim Gum and
Hon. Frank Steunenberg submitted to
the 'arbitrament' of the popular ball
lot? Are they in any respect the SUI
periors of Mr.. Heitfeld? The Tribune
believes in giving every man a fair
chance to demonstrate his quality.
Henry Heitfeld will soon have an OPP
portunity in the senate to show the
kind of stuff he is made of. If he is
man of character and judgment, he
will no doubt successfully and salts
factOrily represent a majority of the
people of Idaho. We hope the States
man will try to compose itself. The
world is progressing towards its stand
ard. Recently our minister to Russia
appeared in knee breeches. The next
legislature may elect a dude or a
duodenum. The last word is a typo
graphical error.

How Telegraph Companies Are
Treated in Argentina.

Buenos Ayres, Jan. 31.-The Western &
Brazilian Telegraph company, an Eng
lish concern, which has a monopoly of
the Geographic communication on the
coast of Brazil until 1915, is connected
With the city of Buenos Ayres by the
lines OF the River Plate telegraph COM
pany of Montevideo. In order to harrass
competition in the United States and
Europe, and overcharge of cents gold

applied on kilograms sent by way of
Galveston TO Brazil since in 1892. Repre-
sensations tc the different governments
concerned produced no effect until last
June when this government ordered the
River Plate Telegraph company to stop
collecting the oVercharge in Argentina
territory. Protests and proposals for an
arrangement OF the matter followed all
tending to elude the Jurisdiction of
Argentina. Last October the Argentine
government gave the River Plate Tele-
graph company "a hours notice to COM
ply with its DEGREES: The company re-

reduction of rates in January, the over
charge on messages to Brazil figured with
the new tariffs submitted to the govern
ment for approval according to law. The
government sent a representative TO the
office of the River Plate Telegraph COM
pany to prove that a violation of its de-

Information Meagre.

New York. Jan. 31-A Herald spec.
ial from Philadelphia says:
Commodore Howell, commandant of
the League Island navy yard, had not
received at a late hour tonight any
information regarding the accident to
the cruiser Brooklyn. Admittance TO
the crippled cruiser was refused to all
newspaper men yesterday. She is
moored to one of the ice piers at Mar
Gus Hook and does not appear to be
in a bad way. Commodore Howell
says the vessel is under the control
of her commander and out of his juris-
diction. She was made ready for sea
about two weeks ago, but was detained
in order that a defective steam valve
could be sent to the Cramps yard for
repairs.
It is thought that the floating ice
covered the buoys so that the pilots,
who are perfectly familiar with The
location of the ledge, could not keep
in the channel. Ordinarily the rise OF
the tide is five feet, but as a result of
the gale that has been blowing for
several days, the rise was, only about
four feet, and when the Brooklyn

BROOKLYN INJURED.
Struck a Rocky Ledge-The Damage
Quite Serious.

Philadelphia, Jan. 31.-No details of the
damage done to the new United States
cruiser Brooklyn. which struck on
rocky ledge yesterday afternoon while
proceeding down the Delaware river to a
safe anchorage from the ice behind the
government piers at Marcus Hook is
miles below the city, could be learned
today Since the Brooklyn was put into
commission few weeks ago, she has
been lying at the League Island navy
yard. The ice has been running very
heavy in the river since the recent cold
spell, and the Brooklyn was in danger of
damage to her propeller blades in the
place where she was anchored. 1t was
therefore. decided to remove her to
of danger, and where, at the same time,
the opportunity would be taken to fit a
new safety valve on her engines. The
BROOKLYN made an attempt to reach
Cramps yesterday morning but the ice
was too heavy TO risk the ship in, and
she was turned and headed down stream
for Marcus Hook. The Brooklyn, pro-
ceeded under her own steam and had
nearly reached her destination, when,
from some cause known only to the
officers OF the ship and the two pilots in
charge. she swung out of the channel
and struck, bow-on. on rocky FORM
ton on Schooner ledge. The cruiser i'm
mediateiy swung back in the channel
and sought for anchorage behind the ice
piers at Marcus Hook. 1t is reported that
the damage to the ship is so serious that
the water entered the compartments I'M
der the engine and ire rooms. NO con-
firmation of this was obtainable from
any of the officers of the vessel, but the
cruiser appears to be down at the head.
as if she had taken in water. One of the
officers of the ship admitted that the
vessel had struck on the ledge. but be-
yond this would say nothing. No one at
the League Island navy yard here knew
ANYTHING further of the damage done
to the Brooklyn than was published this
morning If the vessel has been seriously
injured she will probably be locked at
League Island and the usual court of
inquiry will be ordered by the secretary
of the navy.
1t is the intention of Secretary Her
bert to order court of inquiry to
investigate the facts concerning the
mishap the vessel suffered. This ac-
ton will not be taken. however, until
full report has been received from
Captain Cook. Secretary Herbert con-
siders this officer as one. of the most
capable in the service, and he is anx-
ious to obtain full details from him as
to how the ship happened to strike
bottom. He regrets the accident <:ry
much on account of his desire to have
the Brooklyn participate in the block
ade in the City of Charleston by the
North Atlantic squadron. 1t is not
expected now, however, that she will
be able to engage. She will be ordered
to return to the League Island navy
yard Just as soon as the ice drive
clears away, and repairs will be made.

of water on the ledge. The cruiser
was drawing about 26 and would have
passed down in safety had she not
struck one of the blocks of granite to
which the buoys are anchored.
John J. Williams of Chester, sub
marine diver, said he saw the Brook
Ign approach the ledge at a good rate
of speed, followed by two tugs. He
did not suspect that she had struck,
as she proceeded down the river as
though nothing unusual had happened.

QUEER MUNICH HOTEL.
Run by Duke Theodore Of Bavaria ON
Plan Peculiarly His Own.

Run by Duke Theodore of Bavaria ON .
Plan Peculiarly His Own.
A thousand years ago Benedictine
monks discovered a small sulphur
spring on a mountain near Munich.
They built q hospital there that was
used by their order until 90 years ago,
when it was bought by King Maxi
milan, of Bavaria, who filed it with
poor sick folk, says the London Mail.
When the king died bis grandson,
Duke Theodore, found that be had not
money enough to keep up his charity.
After long and anxious consultation
with his brothers the honest, kindly
prince erected new buildings and
opened the house every year for three
months as hotel. It was patronized
by many of the royal and noble families
of Europe, though it is free to every
conner who will conduct himself re-
specially and pay for his accommoda-
tions.
Duke Theodore provides the food
from his own farm, which he oversees,
while his brother, Prince Ludwig, acta
as host of the hotel All guests are re-
quested to leave on the last day Of Au-
gust. The house is then filled with
scores of poor teachers, artists and au-
thors, invalid soldiers and poorly paid
clergymen, whom the royal brothers
have formally invited to honor them
with visit. The money made during
the summer is devoted to their enter
tainment. The duke and prince remain
in the house, lavishing kindness and
courtesy upon their guests.
