A FoNDNEss FOR GLOVES.
Young Man On His Way to New York Ar
rested on Charge of Larceny.

A smooth appearing young man, John
w. Murphy by name, and telegrapher
by occupation, was q lodger in the police
station last night. He was on his way to
New York and stopped over to call on
Col A. W. Bradbury, whom he had heard
of through some down east friends. He
found Col. Bradbury at the Tolman
house, introduced himself, and enjoyed a
social chat. Col. Bradbury had occasion
to leave his room for a few minutes and
when he returned his guest was missing
Three pairs of gloves and some letters
that had been left on the dressing table
were missing too.
The case was reported to the police and
accompanied by Officer Frank, Col Brad
bury went down to the New York steam
er ami there found the young man. Muir
ply was searched and in his pockets were
the missing gloves and letters His ex-
cuse for having the gloves was that Col.
Bradbury had given them to him. He
had a ticket to New York and did not
want to be detained, but he importuned
in vain.
He will be given chance to explain

Bond Issue oversubscribed Many

Washington, July 12.-The subscrip-
tons to the new war loan will close at 3
o'clock next Thursday afternoon. Up to
this time both the number of subscrip-
lions received and the aggregate amounts
subscribed for, far exceed all estimates.
Yesterday the number of subscriptions
was about q 600 for the day and the
total subscribed for reached the aggre-
gate of 100000. Those for $500 and
under to date are for about So, ZOO 00C
and it is expected that it will approx
mate SIS, 100000 by 3 o'clock on the 14th
instant. The subscription for sums ex-

600 and it is expected that at the time OF
closing they will have reached $40, O0O,.
900 making the grand total in Guiding the
large blanket bids over billion and a

Offers for large amounts are still com

tons having been received yesterday.
Although the hurry of receiving and
scheduling the offers has prevented the
officials from making any accurate com

subscriptions are far in excess of the
whole loan and therefore Assistant Sec

MEN CAN'T BE REACHE D.

Cleveland, Ohio, July IL. -Repeated at
tempts were made throughout the day
by resouing parties to reach the scene of
the explosion in t1e tunnel, but in every
case they were driven back almost over
come by the suffooating smoke and gas
Fully 1000 people have surrounded the
mouth of the tunnel all day, among
whom are many relatives of the victims
OF the disaster. 1t is now believed that
the spot where the accident occurred can
not be reached for many hours, perhaps
days and there is not one chance in q
thousand that any of the men will be
found alive Assuming that all the men
are dead, twenty lives have been lost
since the tunnel was started.

SONS OF AMERICAN REVOLUTION
To the Editor Of the Press:

To the Editor Of the Press:
Through your generosity wish again
to call attention of the S. A. R. to the
work of Elizabeth Wadswcrth chapter d.
A. r.
Within the past three weeks many let
tiers and newspaper notices have called at
tentlon to this organization and solicited
aid from the kindred society. Some of
the 'Sons'' have responded generously
others doubtless in the rush of business
having overlooked the appeal think it is
now too late to offer contributions.
Although one large box containing
hospital clothing and delicacies has been
forwarded to Chiokamauga, the purse still
remain open and whatever is received
will be used for soldiers aid.
The chapter begun work in this line
May by forwarding to Washington
money to assist in establishing the D. A.
r. hospital corps.
At the June meeting ont of the several
calls for assistance that were received by
way of letter and circulars, the one from
Chickamauga seemed to appeal to the
majority of hearts and the members feel
ing that all calls could not be responded
to chose the one that brought them near
est in touch with the patriotism of the
brave boys from the Pine Tree state. An
appropriation was made from the chapter
and placed at the disposal of the commit
tee who purchased material for work.
And the substantial aid received from
the few members of the S. A. Il. who
have responded to the call to assist has
done much to help the cause along. Be
sides this the committee are pleased to
acknowledge outside help as follows: Soap
from Twitchell Il Champlin; medicine
from Baker Extract Co.. towels from j.
r. Libby Co., Rines Bros, Eastman
Bros. q Bancroft, Owen Il Moore; hand
kerchiefs from A. A. Kendall and W. 81.
Ingraham; hair pillows from Walter
Corey & Co. and many useful articles
and money from individual friends
The writer is authorized by chairman
of the committee to say to the Sons OF
the American Revolution who have not
already contributed, that sums of money
however small will be received with
thanks and may be forwarded to Miss
A. d. Mcdonald, 772 Congress street.

HUNTING FOR EVIL.

The cynical saying that Every
man has his price" bears on it's
face the stamp of falsehood. The
meaning that the orr ginating pes
simist had in view was that any
and all persons would sell their
honor for a specific remuneration.
None of us will care to believe
such ''sour'' philosophy, when we
consider the real depth of infamy
it casts upon the entire human
race. The fact that there is a
smoldering fire Of truth in the
groundwork of the phrase, the
smoke from which envelopes so
many, should not be taken as suffi-
cient cause to fling such a loath-
some aspersion on the whole
human family. It is this yellow"
philosophy that is responsible for
the large number of malcontents
in the world. Flying to such rank,
prejudicial slush as a relief for our
own badness of heart is indicative
of the depth Of real meanness to
which one is liable to descend.
We should not fail to recall to
mind that the word "man' as used
in it's generic sense by writer's in
cludes all of the human family
women and men. It is positively
not the belief of any man that his
own mother. wife or sister "have
their price" Yet the believers in
the balderdash about every man
has his price" must do SO to be
consistent, else hold their peace
evermore and stick to tangible
facts.
Hunting for the evil to which
humanity is heir is like looking
for other trouble, inasmuch as one
never has to travel very far to find
it. The fact that it is usually so
easily located superinduces the

however.

STATES evidence, as given by a
co-defendant, received a we'll de-
served rebuke from the jury in a
case of grand larceny recently tried
in Minneapolis. One Of two women
indicted on the same charge pleaded
guilty and, testified against her
companion who it appeared from
circumstances was the less guilty
Of the two. It only took the jury
a short time to see that the witness
was testifying to improbabilities as
we'll as facts in the hope Of casting
the brunt of the guilt upon her
companion and escaping with a
light sentence. The jury was out
only few moments and brought
in verdict of not guilty. In a
very few cases there are offenders
who are sincere in the desire to
make a full confession regardless
Of the results to themselves or
others; but, in the general run of
such cases, as prosecuting attorneys
know, it is generally the worst
offender who turns states evidence
and whose only motive is to tighten
his own penalty. The person who
is impelled by sense of justice in
confessing crime is deserving Of
mercy in thus honestly admitting
wrongdoing. But, as in the case
related above, where the motive
was purely selfish one, the in
formers testimony should be taken
with fair allowance of salt.

should be easy of solution to any
OF us who have been in the habit
of lying awake nights devising
ways and means to ''get even" with
others. Take your own faults and
foibles, your own vicious appetites
and unrestrained passions, and get
even with them; they are our most
unrelenting enemies, and if we can
"snub" them as earnestly as we
sometimes try to snub our fellow
men the victory will be one that
any man may justly be proud of.

The polished orators who 60

est spouters of anarchy. Take
away religion and you rob the

Danish home life and you have no
more social system than exists

notion that it must prevail every
where, and to this reason may be
ascribed the 'eloquence'' of pessi-
mistic blatants who "strain at a
gnat and swallow a camel" Their
theory may be likened to ordering
a convalescing invalid to remain
in the dank atmosphere away from
the sunshine that would hasten the
arrival Of health.
If we put in as much time and
earnest effort in seeking out the
good points Of our fellowmen as
we usually do in airing their faults
the result would be a positive gain
instead Of the merely temporary
negative comfort we now receive
from whining about the badness
Of everyone else."
Keep on the sunny side of life's
highway-trouble and evil will
make their appearance without in
vitation. It will be found that it
will take all your spare energy to
ward off your own tribulations to
say nothing of increasing these by
hunting for evil in others.
