SHAKER CONVERT KILLS HI1FSELF


Worcester, Mass, May 2.-Edward e.
Nickerson of Springfield committed sui
eide at the Shirley Shaker settlementy
last Wednesday, but cutting his throat
with razor. Nickerson was born on
Cape Cod about sixty years. ago. He
was well known as a writer and singer
of religious songs. AS Captain Nicker-
son of the Salvation Army he stirred
entire communities few years ago
with song and exhortation. He was the
author and publisher of songs of the
Salvation Army type and had set many
well known religious songs to stirring
music. His suicide is supposed to have
been due to an unbalanced mind. On
the door of his room in the building
known as the Office of The Shakers he
had pinned note which said:
Dear Elder John:
l am going to sleep and may not hear
the bell ring for dinner. Please call me.
Edward.
The Shakers entered the room and
found him dead.

SAMOAN ISLAND DIFFICULTY
NO RESTRAINT IMPOSED UPON
ADMIRAL KAUTZ.
On the Contrary He Has Been Advised
That the President Supports Him in
All That He Has Done-SimpIy Ad-
vised to Avoid Unnecessary Bloodshod
and Slaughter.

Washington, May 2.-It was denied
officially here this afternoon, in view
of press advices from Samoa, that any
undue restraint has been imposed upon
Admiral Kautz which should encourage
the insurgents in Samoa. On the con-
trary, Admiral Kautz has been advised
that the president supports him in all
that he has done; that he is entirely
satisfied with his conduct, and the only
injunction laid upon the admiral has
been to avoid unnecessary slaughter and
bloodshed. This injunction is not I'M
derstood to restrain the officer from
such military and naval operations as
in his opinion are necessary to protect
fully the interests Of the United States,
British and German residents in Samoa
SO far no advices have come to either
the state or navy departments UP to the
date of these last press dispatches,
hence it is assumed that no events OF
very great Importance have occurred
warranting the sending of cablegram
by either Admiral Kautz or United
States Consul Osborne.

The Northern Fur Companies.

Latterly all the employees of the
Hudson Bay company were caught
young; only lads born in the solitudes
of the highlands could habituate them
selves to the life of loneliness; only
constitutions Of iron. hardened under
hereditary conditions, could endure 30
tremendous strain.
1t may be assumed that the first ad-
venturers consisted chiefly of English
men, although the Scottish invasion of
England had set in with the accession
of King James. But it is certain that
afterward, both with the Hudson Bay
company and its great Canadian rival,
the names OF factors, traders and prom
inent partisans, with scarcely an ex-
ception, were Scottish.
The story Of trade and discovery in
the northwest reads like a muster roll
of the clans. and mainly of the northern
clans Of the second order. There are
MacTavishes, MacGillivrays, MoKays,
McLellans, McDougalls, with Frasers
and Stuarts and the French Frobishers

quantity of milk are widely divergent
Mr. Newman wants the cream, not the
water. His system is now being. quite
generally adopted.
The total output of butter from the
Newman creameries is between Z, 600,
600 and 8, 900, 900 pounds year. That
is whole lot Of butter when you come
to think of it. 1t would be enough to
butter q state like Connecticut all over,
and you could spread it ON rather thick
at that.
Mr.. Newman is SO years old now, and
Is in very comfortable financial circum-
stances. He hasn't been making butter
all these years for fun. But he started
in life very humbly. He was born in
England end was one of family Of
eight sons So at IA he was apprenticed
to draper, or, as we should say, to a
dry goods merchant. The first year he
received nothing but his "keep." The
second year his salary was not large
enough to bother him, and the prospects
for ever making enough to live on were
discouraging.
30 after learning the business he took
the advice Of his aunt, Mrs Robert
Pinkerton, and came to America. He
arrived in Chicago one Saturday in 90
tober, 1859. On Monday morning he
went TO work for Potter Palmer as clerk
at $3 per week. But his training had
been good, and'he soon advanced In o
short time he was one Of Mr.. Palmer's s
best paid statesmen
But he wanted business of his own.
When the Crosby Dpera House was to
be opened, he made application for the
management of all the miscellaneous
details in front of tho footlighta There
were 1900 applications for the place,
30 Mr.. Crosby abruptly told the young
man. He replied that he was willing to
be the thirteen hundred and first The
letters he presented from the men he
knew made his number the lucky one.
He hired the doorkeepers, ran the ush-
ers and programmes and came to own
1875 pairs OF opera glasses, which he
rented--the first real Business of his
own.
In 1865 he went to Elgin to visit the
Pinkerton boys and bought country
store, which he conducted until a short
time ago. In the meantime he gradual
ly drifted into the butter making bust
ness. He began with dozen cows and
a shabby little dairy, in which the
churn was operated by water wheel.
Today you can hardly throw stone in
the vicinity Of Elgin without hitting a
Newman creamery. That is why he is
the butter king of America.

John Newman, who was recently
elected president of the board of trade Of
Elgin, Ills, is the American butter
king. In all the world he is probably
the largest producer of that bovine gold
which gilds the staff Of life Every day

may, great crowds have filed the New

excited concerning him.
Larney Lawrence Dennis is the boy

ther is an oCtoroOn and his mother Ci
mixed Indian and negro blood. Two
years ago he attracted attention in A.

African Methodist churches. Since then
he has been travelling about through
| several states. In most instances his

mat, for It was understood when he was
sent to Vienna in 1897 that he accepted
the post after some hesitation. The fact
is that Mr.. Towers business interests
were so large that he did not think he
could afford to let them run themselves
for so long a time. Probably he has
found that his interests do not suffer
from his absence as greatly as he ex-
pected.
Mr.. Tower was born in Philadelphia
in 1913 and was graduated from Har-
ward university in 1872. He spent four
years in study and travel in Europe
and while in Spain in 1873 received his
first insight into the workings of diplo-
matte machinery, serving for six months
as attache to the American legation un-
der General Slckles.
On his return to Philadelphia Mr..
Tower studied law and was admitted TO
the bar in 1878. He removed to Duluth
four years later and became president
of the Duluth and Iron Range railroad
and managing director Of the Minneso-
ia Iron company. He returned east in
1887 and year later married in oak
land Cal, Miss Helen Smith, daughter
of c.. Frank Smith. He has FIVE chill
dren-tbree sons and two daughters.
Mr. Tower possesses a fortune esti-
mated at S1O,OOO,OCO, the. bulk Of which
was inherited from his father, who was
a large coal operator In the anthracite
coal regions Of Pennsylvania. He is a
close student of historical subjects end
has published several historical works
the best known being The Marquis dc
Lafayette III the American Revolution
which won him the degree of LII. d
from Lafayette college. He Is a trustee
of the University OF Pennsylvania, vice
president of the Historical Society OF
Pennsylvania and a member Of the

Mrs. Elizabeth o. Hitler of Chicago

ing dish cookery. 1t has long been the
fad among both men and women of So
ciety to know how to prepare a dainty
and appetizing bit over the blue alcohol
blaze, but few and far between are the
amateur cooks who can cook anything
that IL really worth eating. Stringy
Welsh rarebits and soggy omelets by
the ton have been evolved in vain ef-
forts to prepare after theateT lunches.
Mrs. Hitler proposes TO save the di-
gestions of the Chicago people. She is
eminently qualified for the task, for she

school. She herself has established in
Chicago a school OF domestic science
where she trains walters and waiting
