fund. The object of the society is to put
gratu1ously before the public documents
statutes. plans. photographs, etc. of the
social institutions and organizations
which have for their aim the ameliora-
ton of the material and moral condition
of working people. Like the League for
Social Service, but in a more comprehen-
sive manner on account of its larger
means. the Musee Social keeps in touch
with all the social movements in the diff
ferent parts of the world, sending from
time to time commissions to various
countries to investigate the handling of
certain problems. The material thus
gathered is put at the disposal of the
public and advice by experts is freely
given when it is asked.
The Importance of such museum cam

one is established in this country the
progress of the work will be hampered

question of money. For the Paris exhibit

of which has already been raised. Nat

purpose of the league to get as many as
possible of these with the derstandln2
that after they have been returned from
Paris they can be made "A part OF an ex

dent also that he can get very valuable
exhibits from foreign countries for a
comparatively small sum of money. At
any rate, it is certain that social econ

impetus in this country as a result of the
big Paris show, and all that is needed to
put it on Il solid foundation is some gen
erous man who will give few thousand

MRS. HUGHES STILL FREE.
Third Mfstrial of Il Woman Charged
With Numbering Her Husband.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. 25.-The State
will hardly again make serious effort to
convict Mrs. Matte E. Hughes of the mur
der OF her husband in GreenviIle a little
more than year ago. Saturday evening
after the jury had been locked up for
twenty four hours, third mistrial was an
nounced.
The Jury stood eight for acquittal and
four for conviction for murder 1t is con-
ceded TO be impossible TO get jury to
find a verdict against the woman, and
equally impossible to get twelve men to-
gether without one standing out against
acquittal.
Mrs. Hughes has been out on bail for the
last six months She is young and pretty
and evidently had no doubt as to the re-
suit of the recent trial for she made ar
rangements some time ago TO start in tusi-
ness. 4 case is now pending in the su-
preme court which, if decided in her favor.
would set her at liberty. preventing further
trial. The grounds are that she has al
ready been in jeopardy of her life, and so
cannot be tried again.
The evidence during the last trial was
stronger than heretofore, owing to the ad-
mission of the dying statement of the
murdered man. in which he charged Mrs.
Hughes with shooting him. She gave him.
he said. two minutes to prepare for death
He had pistol in his pocket, but would
rather die than use il. even If in self-de-
fence, and did not attempt to dc so. Mrs.
Hughes, according to the declaration, used
her own pistol, shooting him as he walked
over appealingly and with conciliating
words toward her.

REMEDY FOR SICK FISH.
A Few Drops of Whisky Relieved
Their Stomachmche
(From the Chicago Times Herald)


noetoring sick FISH is perhaps an unusua!
proceeding, but Frank Waidnar, all o2eT-
atcr at the Chicago Avenue police station
tried the experiment last week, with sur
prising results.
Mr.. Wafdner had INDUCED in the luxury
nf half dozen goldfish, which he pur-
chased down town and took home cne night
in one OF the large glass globes in which
people are wont&to set on table in the
parlor window. Mr.. and Mrs. Waidner ad-
mjred the fish very much that evening
and the family cat was hanished from The
house for fear that during the still small
hours it might go a-fshiug and angle ou.
with its sharp claws some CT the new pets.
After feeding the ish few slices CT bread
and quarter Of pound Of chopped meat.
so that they wouldn't get hungry N the
night, Mr.. Waidcer retired to rest.
The first thing he did on arising in the
morning was TO hasten 10 the parlcr TO
see if his fish were ready fer breakfast
But, alas, when he gazed into the large
glass globe he saw that something was the
matter The plague or the measles or the
collie had struck them, and every ore CT
those little goldfish was lying on its back.
feebly waving its yellow fins and writing
in all the agony of genuine stomachache.
Mr.. Waidner is a man of action, and he
saw that heroic measures alone would save
the contents of the big glass globe. His
brain whiZZed and hummed for minute
and then he stood back, Strengthened him.
self up, and called loudly:
Whisky"
Although Mr. Waidner had taken a little
whisky once himself, when he had the
chickenpox he had never given any to a
fish. But. rot having the direction of the
fish doctor. ne determined TO administer
the dose himself The whisky was Dro-
duced from some recess or other about the
house, and then, after urcorktng it and
fortifying himself with taste he barred
his arm, and, plunging into the globe,
brought forth Que of the ga5ping golden
creatures, whose bulging eyes and drawn
upper lip revealed too plainly the frightful
struggle that was going On il its little
insides.
Holding the fish firmly N his left kard
Mr. Waidner poured out a few drops OF
the fiery liquor into its wide open mouth
The fish coughed and sneezed, and Mr..
Waidner then replaced It gently in the
water and stopped to watch developments.
The effect OF the whisky was magical.
Like a flash the fish darted 20 the bottom
of the globe. then back to the top, then
around and around like lightning, never
stopping for ten minutes. MIR. Waidner
smiled and plunged his arm once more
into the water, producing another goldfish
fer the operation. One by one, all the
finny colony were dosed and returned to
their native element, and by the time he
got through there couldn't have been found
throughout the trout streams of the United
States a more active lot of fish. Now Mr.
Waidner's friends have conferred upon him

Michael Edwards, twelve years old, was

The little brothers had been picking ber-

the owner of the property suddenly set a

Matthew leaped over. His skull was frac-

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-In honor of the
American delegates to the third Zionist
Congress, held at Basle, Switzerland last
August a reception was given at Cooper
Union last night by the Federation of
American Zionists. The large hall was
nearly full when DR.. ]. 1. Bluestone,
president of the New York Federation, in
troduced as the first speaker the Rev. Ste
phen S. Wise of the Madison Avenue Syn
agogue. He told of the work done by the
American Jews for the Zionist movement,
whereby all the children of Israel are once
more to gather as a race in Jerusalem and
make that their home. 1t is only in Eng
land and America, he said, that hatred of
Jews is not felt by non-Jews He paid
a tribute to the work of DR.. Gottheil and
Mrs Gottheil in the cause.
Prof. Richard Gottheil, of Columbia Uni
versity, President Of the Order of the
American Zionists, was next introduced,
and told something of what was accom-
plished by the convention at Balse. There
are now LOG, COO members, he said, in the
Zionist movement, and steps are being
taken to obtain a charter and establish
homestead at Jerusalem under the suZer-
ainty of the Sultan of Turkey. There is
hope, he, said, that the next convention
will see this an accomplished fact. Other
speakers were Clarence l. De Sola, DR..
Gustava Gottheil, of Temple Emanuel, and
Assemblyman n. Taylor Phillips.

eign power, and since there is as to Porto
Rico no one to treat with and no foreign
power, clearly this provision will not ap-
ply; otherwise reciprocal arrangements
could be made as to goods and products o.
the island not grown and produced here
and similar goods grown and produced
here and not there and some could be
placed on the free list and others reduced
on approval of Congress.
"It would seem that the relations be-
tween the island and the General Govern
ment would emphasize the need and utili-
ty of such reciprocity and OF some means
through which the President would be au-
thorized to give relief to the island and
some advantage for marketing our surplus
of agricultural products and manufactured
goods, so much needed by the people of
Porto Rico.
"On the general question of trade, the
status as it now exists under the law and
the laws to be enacted by Congress, as to
the right to maintain duties, or the policy
thereof, We do not deem it our duty to
submit opinions or recommendations, as
those questions, while as important as they
are perplexing, belong more properly to
other departments.
I'VE would, however, recommend that as
to duties collected on the island some
there and trade be encouraged with the
United States; and since they produce no
wheat or -four. on corn meal, or butter,
and but little lard or pork, no canned
goods, and practically no machinery for
agricultural or other purposes, and no
manufactured goods, and as their breed of
cattle and horses need much improvement
by importation from our States of young
stock and animals fer breeding purposes,
and as We are endeavoring to educate the
people in our language and customs, they
greatly need our books. literature, and pc
riodicals; and since under the treaty, Span
ish scientific literature and other works
not subversive of public order are to be
admitted free for the next ten years, ii
would seem equal advantage should be en-
joyed by our people. We think the arti-
cles above named and many others should
receive special consideration in the duties
to be eXacted and that the schedules be re-
yised in advance of any general law by

ROBBERS VICTIM BURIED.

terry Still UnsOlVed.

CUMBERLAND, Md, Sept. 25.-The
funeral of Absalom Kesler. who died from
wounds inflicted by robbers, took pace
yesterday afternoon from the home of his
son John, near Paw Paw, w. Va. The in
terment was in the family burying ground,
at KesleT's Curve. Although the neigh
boring country is very thinly settled as
many as 600 persons attended the funeral.
The services were conducted by Rev. AL
exander Billaski.
While several persons are under suspi-
cion, no arrests have been made as yet.
Doman, the husband of Kesler's niece has
not been located having failed to turn up
at any of his usual stopping places. Some
think he may have, perished in the fire, as
it was said he was atsthe house that night.
Charred bones have been found which
some think are those of a man.
Albert Gross, the MANNED survivor of
the tragedy, in his rambling confession,
has implicated lone or two persons by
name. One of the persons he named at
tended the funeral yesterday, and the gen.
eral opinion is that the boy was mis- aiken
r duplicating him, The physicians think
that in weeks time Gross condition will
have improved sufficiently to permit his
RlFlQS d more luClu dCCOuht vi tuc u
edy Much, if not all, depends upon what
recollection he has of the affair. Kes-
ler's bank books show that he had drawn
all his money out of the bank in Cumber-
land, which, with what he had not depos-
tied, amounted to $4,000. All this money
is missing. Deputy United States Marshal
Paulding, of Martinsburg, w. Va, is as
sisting the authorities in the case.
Kesler was in Cumberland only a few
weeks ago. He desired to buy the farm of
former Congressman William M. McKaig.
which lies few miles below Paw law
and adjoins the KesIer place. General Nc
Kaig and Mr.. Kesler met in the First Ma
tional Bank, where Kesler deposited. and
talked the matter over. General McKaig,
speaking of the matter yesterday, said
that Kesler then had $500 on him and a re-
volver. Il told him. said General Nc
Kaig, "that someone would murder him
some day if he did not stop carrying so
much money around with him. Kesler
owned considerable property below Faw
Paw. Kesler's age was eighty-s.x years"

CUMBERLAND, Md, Sept, 25.-The new
bell for st. Patrick's Church was blessed
yesterday on the church portico by Bishop
Curtis. The various Catholic societies
turned out in full regalia and the COM
bined choirs of SITS. Peter and Pauls and
St Patrick's churches, under the direction
of Joseph p. Weisel, rendered music Rev.
Thomas Gallagher was master of ceremo-
MES, assisted by Revs. Z. \. Williams, of
Mount Savage; S. J. Clark, Of Frostburg;
Father Wade, of Baltimore; and Fathers
Wunder, Peter, Benedict and Aloysius, of
Cumberland, the last three of the Capu-
chin Order. The bsll was garlanded with
flowers. and after the ceremony was rung
loundly.
Bishop Curtis delivered an address on
the meaning of the ceremony. He said ::
Let the factory bell sound, what does it
tell you? Only that it is making money
When this bell speaks you may know that
God speaks by it. When it calls TO mar
riage il does not say it is making a con-
tract which the courts may dissolve in a
week or in a month.
The bell, the largest in the city, has the
following inscriptions:
In honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed
Virgin Mary, and st. Patrick"
On the opposite side is the following:
The old bell of 764 pounds, which has
been used since 1645, is recast in this one.
