Mr., WOLF KRAUS RESIGNS
Because His Old Civil Service Com
mission Was Criticised.

Chicago, Feb 12.-Wolf Kraus, president
of the Chicago Civil Service commission,
handed his resignation to Mayor Har-
rison today. The resignation was ac-
cepted. Mr.. Kraus' successor has not yet
been named but probably will be Monday.
Mr.. Kraus in his letter Of resignation Bit
terly denounced the recent report of the
state senate civil service investigating
commission with violating the civil service
law. Mr.. Kraus announced several weeks
ago that he would resign as soon as the
annual report of the commission had been
filed and his action today occasioned no
surprise in pOliticaI circles

COOLIES FOR GERMANY
Expectations Into the Eastern Part
Of the Emnire RenOrted.

Berlin, Feb. 12.-The Importation of
Chinese coolies was also touched upon in
the reichstag this week. 1t was affirmed
and denied that the Importation of coolies
on 40 large scale had been inaugurated by
land owners of east Germany. 1t is learn
ed that several syndicates have already
been formed for their wholesale importa-
ton. One syndicate, composed of land
owners of east Prussia, has contracted for
100 Shan Tung coolies to be delivered at
their estates to compete with German
farm labor, before June 6. Several similar
contracts have been signed.

QUEER THINGS IN PENSIONS
Conscientious PensiOner and BenevO.
lent Commissioners.

Washington, Feb, 12.-Pension Commits
sioner Evans recently received from
pensioner in San Antonio, Texas, an ex-
press order for 1919. 1t was money which
the sender believed he had not properly
received and animated by this feeling had
returned it to the government. Mr. Evans
had an investigation made of the case
and ascertained that the pensioner was
honestly entitled to the money he was
receiving, viz: $12 per month. for deafness,
and directed that the entire amount be
returned to him.

The Greatest Discovery Vet.

1t certainly looks like it, but there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can try
it who has Lame Back and Weak Kid
neys, Malaria or nervous troubles. We
mean he can cure himself right away by
taking Electric Bitters. This medicine
tones up the whole system, acts as a slim
ulant to the Liver and Kidneys, is a blood
purifier and nerve tonic. 1t cures Consti-
patton, Headache, Painting Spells, Sleep
Iessness and Melancholy. 1t is purely
vegetable, a mild laxative, and restores
the system to its natural vigor. Try Elec-
trio Bitters and be convinced that they
are a miracle worker. Every bottle guar

BARON HlCKEYS SUICIDE
His Fatherin-Law says it Was Not
With Intent

St Louis, Mo-, Feb R-J. H. Flagler,
Standard Oil magnate, and father-in-law
of Baron Hardin Hickey, who died at Ell
Paso Wednesday, left here tonight for
San Francisco to join his daughter widow
of the baron.
Discussing the death of his son-in-law,
he said:
"a gentlemen we'll known here, whose
name I cannot divulge, has just returned
from Ell Paso. He assures me that the
general impression there is that Baron
Hickey did not commit suicide. Person
ally, 1 do not believe he meant to take
his life. He was man of highly wrought
nervous organization and for years had
sought relief from insomnia in the use of
sedatives and narcotics. He was a habit
ual usel of choral in various forms. I
believe he took an overdose. It appears
from statements made to me that he took
some Of the drug without effect and later
took another dosse. Neither dose would
have killed him, but the combination was
fatal. He had been troubled with heart
affection for years and could not live in
high attitudes.
His heart weakness smay have aided
the drug in causing his death.
Hickey was a man of cheerful nature
and had all any man could desire-plenty
of money and a happy home. 1 never
heard of any financial reverses which
might have caused dependency"
After the baron's death there was found
among his effects letter addressed to his
wife, in which, it is alleged, occurred this
expression:
81 prefer to be a dead gentleman than
a living BLACKBOARD, like your father.
Good bye"
The reporter asked Mr.. Flagler about
this letter.
have no personal knowledge that the
baron left any such communication" he
said with dignity. 81 was a good friend
to the baron and was ready to go to his
assistance. If he left a letter tending
to show he was depressed that in itself
would be no sign that he took his life.
Among other eccentricities of his genius.
he had tendency to melancholy, which
sometimes made him say strange things"

STORIES TOLD BY
 STUART ROBSON

Stuart Robson, the comedian, is an accomplished talker. He seasons his talk with so many interesting. reminis- cences that he is one of the pleasantest companions on the American stage. Speaking of the improved methods of producing plays, MT. Robson gave credit to Henry Irving as the foremost educator of the public in that direction.
 There is no man for whom I have a higher admiration" said he. ''I re- member some years ago being at the principal hotel in New Orleans. The corridor was crowded with people, when suddenly there entered a man we'll advanced in years, who wore long, old-fashioned cloak. Suddenly every one present ranged along the walls of the passage, and as the old gentleman passed up every hat was doffed and every head bowed. I knew at once that it was that idol of the Southerners, Jeff Davis. Only once since have I seen any parallel to that: It was in London, when I saw tall. thin figure walking along the Strand with a peculiar springy stride. I saw old men raise their hats and draw aside to let him pass, and I felt proud myself, for this reverence was paid to Henry Irving as an actor-and I am an actor, too"
 The recent outpJuring of Grant anecdotes" said MT. Robson, has re- minded me of one which I do not think

has been printed. I was playing some years ago in a well-known managers theater, out of New York The first act was over and we were chatting in the wings with our manager, when one of the boys rushed in on the stage to tell us that General Grant and his fam fly were in one of the boxes. A flush of gratified pride mounted to the man. agerial face, followed by a look of agonized doubt as he evidently reflect ed that perhaps the General had dead headed into the box. Did you send him a box, Robson?' he asked me, and on my replying in the negative, he pull ed out a card from his pocket, and scribbling a line on it, told the boy to take it to the box office, and bring back an answer. The boy rushed off. his head full of the General, and returned in a few minutes with the same card which he handed to MT. Manager. A ghastly look crossed his face as he read it, and without a word handed it to me. The first line read in the rather shaky managerial caligraphy, Did General Grant pay for his box?' while underneath appeared, No, but my son Fred did. U. S. Grant

 But the world is full of change, and another turn of the artists hand car ries us away to femininity and vanity. Consider for a moment another figure which depicts a young person of little refinement immersed in the mysteries of the toilet. The properties here used are: First, a piece of cut cardboard on which coarse wool has been fastened; second, a few hairpins; third, pair of curling tongs, and fourth, another piece of cardboard which casts the shadow Of the mirror of dressing table. The lady's face and somewhat spare neck are formed by the hands of the shad owgraphiSt The pantonime gone through is amazingly effective. The lady is very much in earnest; evidently it is a toilet with a purpose.
 The hair is gradually curled, the hairpins placed in position one by one. so as to support an artificial dab of wool, which represents, as we believe, bun" unknown to confectioners.

The long, graceful neck comes back in sinuous curves that the plu- mage may be preened and pecked, and the stiff little tail waggles in pleasur- able anticipation as the swan dives beneath the surface of the supposed lake. Finally, the bird sails out of the disk by the simple process of the shad- owgraphist inclining himself gradually forward.
