NEWSPAPER IN CLOUDLAND.
Unique Little Sheet Got Out on Top of
Pixies Peak.

Unique among the newspaper offices
Of the United States, and probably the
highest in the world, is that printed on
Pixies peak. The paper was ansexperi-
ment last season, but this year is a full
fledged success, and is being published
twice a day o among the trees that
are very scanty up at timber line. The
publisher is T. B. Wilson.
For several years Wilson has been
publishing newspapers in the noun
tains. When he started the Pixies
Peak News it was with some misgiv-
ings. He located his Office on the very
peak, but the storms are * fequent that
he found it better to move down a lit
tie. However, he is yet 10000 feet
above the sea level, and with his wife
and daughter spends a very pleasant
summer. They all work at the paper.
When the train on the cog road comes
putting its way UP from Manitou the
passengers are induced to give their
names. Then while they go to the top
the paper is printed, and in it are the
names Of all who have been to the peak
that day. OF course, there is a large
sale among them, as they desire the
paper for souvenirs of the visit.
The editors wife is able to set type
and print the paper as we'll as her hus-
band. One day when he was away she
got out the paper, and, o having had
time to sell the edition before the
train started for the foot of the noun
tain, she paid her way to the bottom
and sold papers on the train. Arriving
there she did not have money enough t.
pay her way back and started for the
top on foot-a walk of ten miles up hill
by the road. The manager of the road
saw her.
"Where ae You going?" he asked.
81 am going to walk home
why don't you rider"
The papers did o sell very we'll
today, and l have not got money
enough. | had to get out the paper
uAoApS, vi L "oulh v nave olh
Come in here" and he led the way
to the superintedent's office.
When she came out it was with a
pass good for the season on any train,
and thereafter she was able to increase
her sales by riding longer tips on the
road with the passengers.
Not much news is in this mountain
top paper, for there is little happening
on Pixies peak. With the coming Of
the early storms Of winter the paper
Is suspended, for the visitors are not
there to buy the copies. The press and
type are moved to the warm valleys Of
the town below. and there continue In
service as an aid to the local paper I'M
til there is a resumption of the summer
The n annoyance OF the printer is
the relic hunter. When the newspaper
mans back is turned there is a rush of
laughing girls for the type cases to
gather type for souvenirs Of the trip.
He has several times been compelled
to buy new type to replace that taken
in this way. Standing out in the open
air, the temptation to take a bit OF the
metal is very strong. One day he pub
lished a notice saying:
"Iph there are seen a phew mistakes
in this paper and we phail to spell all
names right. do not blame us, phor It
Is the best we al do. Some phlighty
girls phrom Boston philched all our
ephs."-Boston Transcript.

AMERICAN DEMANDS.
SPANISH COMMISSIONERS FIND IT
NECESSARY TO CONSULT
THEIR GOVERNMENT.
The Spaniards Will Resist Any Pro-
posal to Cede the Philippine ISL
ands to the United States, Even t.
the Verge Of Renewed Hostilities-
Dons Are Stupefied.

Paris, Oct. 3.-Major General Mer-
rift, who commanded the American
troops at Manila, arrived here ebay
from Marseilles.
The American commissioners held a
session this morning at their own Of
fees, preparatory to the second meet
ing with the Spanish commissioners,
which began at the commissions
rooms in the foreign office Immediate
iy after their assembling at 3 o'clock
this afternoon.
Today's session lasted until 4 clock,
at which hour the commissioners ad-
tourned to meet at 2 O'Clock next Fri
day afternoon, such interval being
desirable and necessary to allow sep
arate consideration by each commits
sion Of matters requiring such course
before the Joint commission. The in
terval will thus be filed with work by
each commission, the ultimate results
being so facilitated.
The secretary OF the Spanish COM
mission will arrive tonight and the In
tervaa will also be employed by the
secretaries Jointly in maturing plans
for the work and procedure.
The Spanish and American commits
sioners will be received tomorrow by
President Faure. The hour fixed for
the reception OF the Americans is 4:45
In the afternoon. IT,
General Merritt will accompany the
Americans to this function, which will
be held at the palace de Elysee.
The opinion Is now held that the
work Of the commission may be fin
tshed within a month from the present
time.
While it Is the general impression
that today's meeting was again de-
voted to preliminaries. and that the ad-
5ournment to Friday was taken only
to enable the secretaries to draw up a
schedule OF work, the representative
OF the Associated Press saarns that the
session was highly important and that
the Americans have made'a demand of
such character that the Spaniards find
1t necessary to ask for an adjournment
IN order to enable them to consult with
the government at Madrid.
1t is believed that the question con
Germs the Philippines and it is known
that the Americans are highly pleased
at having 30 Soon reached what they
consider a very important phase Of the
negotiations, and consider the two ses-
sions thus far held as very satisfactory
to America. The fact that a member
OF the commission expressed the belief
that work would be completed within a
month indicates a happy frame of
mind.
In the Spanish camp great hopes are
built ON what they believe General
Merritt will ed vise, namely, that the
Philippines r incapable Of self-gov-
eminent and that the whole situation
does not warrant America in taking
the responsibility for the entire Philip
pines. The Spaniards are quite ready
to give whatever America asks in the
way OF coaling stations, but will resist
more, to the verge Of a renewal of hos
TITLES.

QUAY, IS ARRESTED

HIM WITH CONSPIRACY
TO OBTAIN MONEY.
Hearing of the Warrant, He Comes
From Atlantic City to Surrender

Senator Penrose Describes the
Brutal Move of the Opposition.

Fuilauelpnla "a, Oct. a
were issued today for the arrest Of
United States Senator Matthew Stanley
Quay, his son, Richard R. Quay, ex-
State Treasurer Benjamin Haywood
and Charles Fl. Mckee, of Pittsburg,
law partner Of Lieutenant Governor
Lyon.
They are accused Of conspiracy with
John s. Hopkins. formerly cashier Of
the Peoples bank. to use the public
moneys for their own use. Hopkins
killed himself Last March shortly after
the banks failure. senator Quay and
son came up from Atlantic City as soon
as they heard of their intended arrest.
They promptly surrendered themselves
and Magistrate Jermon held them In
5000 bail each for a hearing at noon
next Thursday. David H. Lane, the
republican leader, became their bonds
man and this afternoon they returned
to the sea shore 'oy the advice OF their
attorney. They declined to discuss the
case. They will come back to the city
Wednesday so as to be in full time for
the hearing. Haywood IL in Montana
and Mckee is in New York.
United States Senator Penrose, who
was with his colleague this afternoon,
spoke freely after the latter's departure
fer Atlantic City.
Il presume Senator Quay will not
make any statement at this juncture,"
said he, regarding this dastardly
attack Of his malevolent enemies,
though he doubtless will at the proper
time. There is. however, no reason why
l, his colleague and personal friend.
should be silent. Attempted assassin
alton OF character has been almost the
sole weapon OF attack employed by
Senator Quay's opponents for yeArs.
and the methods pursued have been
augmented an viciousness and vtndic-
tiveness ais their futility has been de-
monstrated.

ONE OF CUBA'S MANY
~ PROBLEMS. ~
Must Organize Police Force Havana Asks
Superintendent MeCulagh to Aid Him M
-copysht


"As soon as we are in possession of
Cuba and have pacified the island 1t
viii be necessary 10 give aid and di-
rection to its people to form govern
,nent for themselves" said President
Mckinley in his latest message TO con
gress.
That one sentence hints at many mo-
mentous problems. The aid and di-
rection" 1t will be necessary to give the
Cubans will, eventually, cover every
thing from the formation of proper
legislative and executive government
for the island and its provinces in the
sanitation Of the cities aud villages.
There must be complete regeneration.
The reforms cannot be halfway.
The upbuilding of Santiago has be-
gun under a very capable man. Ha-
vana comes next. This great city must
be supplied with laws and compelled
tc respect those laws. To this end,
Gen. Francis Vinton Greene, who Is in
military charge of Havana, has
asked John McCullagh, superintendent
of elections for the Metropolitan dis
trict of New York, and former chief OF
police Of New York city, to come TO
Havana and advise him as to the or
! ganization OF an efficient police force

Superintendent McCullagh does not
20 to do the active work of organizing
4 police force In Havana. He goes to
give Gen. Greene, on whom the bur-
den of organization Will rest, the bene-
1t of his experience. 1t is quite as
necessary TO police Havana as it is to
maintain military occupancy of the
sland until such time as the Cubans
san govern themselves, And with this
necessity comes an opportunity for or
yanizing a police force along proper
lines and with proper ideals. There are
no politicians-the bane of every police
force in this country-to be consulted.
There are no questions of party or per-
.onal eXpediency to be met. Simply,
The proposition is one of gaining the
best possible results with the material
at hand.
Many difficulties will present them
selves. Laws must be made before
they can be enforced. Precedents will
not apply. The conditions are unique.
II will be hard to suppress gambling,
for instance, in community where
every man and nearly every woman is
a gambler, where lottery tickets have
been sold openly on the street corners
with the sanction and encouragement
of and for the benefit of the govern
Inent. It will be hard to suppress bull
| llghtlng and cock fighting where the
native considers the right 10 fight bulls
and the right to fight cocks coeXistent
with the right to breathe. Vice that
! has been winked at for years will
struggle desperately to retain its pres
tige. There will be dissatisfaction, and
maybe mutterings of rebellion. But II
the method is wise, the desired end will
be attained.
A police force to govern Havana
properly must be formed on military
or at least, semimilitary lines. There
must be n man in supreme control. He
must be commander in chief, the
arDiter, the director in all things. The
organization must work through him
and he must work through the organ
zation. An esprit du corps must be
established and fostered that shall
make the organization a vital force
through its very belief in itself and its
oyalty TO its leader. Men must know
hat merit shall be the sole test fer
prefcrment. They must be held secure
II their positions. They must be edu-
lated to deal with conditions foreign
10 those presented to any police force
IN this country and to do their duty
without fear or favor.
The policing of Havana is a complex
problem. but it is reasonable, TO sup
pose that if the men who are chosen
10 mnintain law and order are given a

Prisoner nt johannesburg TeIIa
Queer story of Sham Death
and Funeral.

The johannesburg correspondent of
the London Mail telegraphs: ~ re-
mPrkable story was told the other day
during the hearing OF n charge Of fraud
against Charles Gum. A statement
was put in by the prisoner in which he
declared that he was the brother Of the
late duke Of Hamilton, and left Eng
land after fighting duel. For private
reasons his death was formally an.
nounced and q sham funeral took place.
Gunn asserts that Robinson, OF Nother-
wellhaugh, filled coffin which was
sent TO Hamilton palace and placed in
the mausoleum, and says that If the
cciiin is opened and examined his
statement can be verified"
The late duke OF Hamilton died May
10, 1905. leaving no son, and was sue
oeeded by his l;insman. Alfred Douglas
Hamilton. The late dukes only
brother was Charles George Archibald.
IL Is recorded in liurke's l'eerage chat

died childIess in May, 1856. IL Charles
can prove that he is alive he may get

John.on a. nm Inventor.

It may not be generally known, but
1t is fact that John S. johnson is prob
ably the inventor of the detachable
tire. AS long ago as 1890 he made
detachable tire and fastened the outer
covering to the rim by means of little
hooks placed about an inch or two
apart. This was when he was working
in repair shop in Grand Rapids, Mich,
and before he came out rs world-beat-
er in the record-chasing game. He did
not think to have the tire of his make
patented, else he might have had for
tune, for the detachable tire has
brought riches many times over to
those who brought it out.
