Freemasonry has had a little bout
with the malcontents in France, and it
came out victorious. In the suppression
of the leagues and secret societies by
the government it was pointed out that
the Freemasons were not interfered
with, and this brought cut the over
whelming reason why they were not.
They were not only older than any gov
eminent France ever had, but they
were protected by imperial decree issued
in 1862.

Woman has made the painful discov-
cry that ever since she entered into in
dustrial competition with man he has
ceased to erect statues to her Time
was when she was worshiped for her
beauty, and he named her the goddesses,
the graces and the muses. and delighted
to carve her in marble and fashion her
in bronze. But that worshipful time
has passed. AS woman assumed her
working garb she passed out of the
realm of the plastic arts. There are but
two statues erected to heroic women in
America and none to industrial women
But the country still clings to it's God

BLACK JACK BAND
HAS REORGANIZED
Believed That an Attack on the Over
land Express is Contem-
Mated

AUSTIN, July 20.-The Federal authori-
ties of the Western District of Texas have
received reliable information of the re-
organization of the Black Jack band of
train robbers and it's present rendezvous
is the Chispa Mountains in Preside Coun-
". 1t is expected that an attack on the
Southern Pacific overland express is con-
templated by the robbers The express
company's officials have been notified of
the situation.
This desperate band of robbers has been
operating in West Texas, New Mexico
and Arizona for several years. The pho
tographs of several members of the band
are in the hands of the United States
Marshals of the districts in which the
bold robberies and other Offenses have
been committed, but as they seldom enter
town their recognition and arrest is diff
fcult. over a year ago the band was
driven out of Arizona and they sought
refuge in the mountains of the State of
Chihuahua Mexico. They made "a raid on
a small settlement and were pursued bv
a posse of Mormon colonists and small
force of rurales. The robbers were over
taken and a fight took place, resulting in
the killing of two members of the band.
1t was reported at the time that one of
the men killed was the original Black
Jack, the leader but this statement is
disputed by the authorities, who assert
that he is still alive.

BEARDED WOMAN WITH
A STRANGE DISEASE
Head and Hands Swollen to More
Than Twice Their Normal
Size

NEW YORK, July 20-Swollen to enor-
nous proportions, Mary Fogarty, who is
more than six feet in height and who has
a heavy beard and mustache, was taken
to the Bellevue Hospital this evening suf-
fering from a rare disease, known as
acromegaly. Excitement marked her ar
rival a Bellevue among both patients and
physicians when she was carried into the
reception office. 1t was found that the
patients head was twice as large as that
of an average man. Her nose was three
times its normal size and her hands twice
as large as they should be.
AS she is more than six feet in height
and has a beard and mustache and gray
hair, her appearance was extraordinary
to a degree. The physicians decided that
the disease had reached stage so ad-
Vanced that she can scarcely recover.
News that the peculiar case had been
admitted soon spread throughout the in
stitution. and all hurried to be present.
Few of them had ever seen patient suf-
ferng from acromegaly. The general
opinion was that death from exhaustion
would occur in a short time.

THE TERRIBLE WOUNDS

WOODLAND, July 20-Mrs. Fred Leder-

mania, may recover, Notwithstanding the
twenty or more wounds inflicted Wednes-
day. That is the hopeful report made by
DR.. Voissard this morning. Wednesday
afternoon she was apparently in a state of
hopeless collapse. The physician did not
believe that she had one chance in a hun
bred to recover. She was so weak from
loss of blood her nervous prostration was
so complete. her mutilation was so nor
rible and her CHASTITY wounds SO numerous
and many of them so serious that recov-

and About Gilroy.

GILROY, July 2O-The trial of Charles
Bennett, the San Francisco commission
merchant, who is accused of swindling
several prominent dairymen out of hun
dreds of dollars. was heard before Justice
of the Peace Howard Wiley to-day. The
prosecution was represented by Deputy
District Attorney Jarman of San Jose, as
sisted by e. d Crawford of Gilroy and
the defense by Allen & Allen of San Fran
cisco. Several witnesses were placed on
the stand to show that Bennett had mis-
represented his business by means of bus
mess cards bearing the name of the West
ern Dairymen's Association, at 22S Clay
street, San Francisco. Bennett made a
trip to Gilroy last May and contracted
with MessrS. Eschenburg, Braeme, Carey,
Wilkin and others for the shipment OF
cheese to him at this address at an adj
vance over the market price. The cheese
was shipped, but the money never ma
terialized.
Matthew MeCurrie Of San Francisco
who was employed by Eschenburg and
Braeme to find Bennett, gave testimony.
The case has excited much interest in
this locality.

WILL NOT DISPUTE
THE CLAIM OF JAPAN
The United States Does Not Need
Marcus Island for a Cable
Station.

WASHINGTON, July 20-The au-
thorities have known since May of the
intention Of Japan to take possession Of
Marcus Island. While there is no in
tention of accusing Japan of occupying
the island because she thought the
United States wanted it, it is neverthe-
less a fact that cable instructions to the
commanding officer of the collier Nero,
which is making a survey for the Pa
cific cable, contemplated a route in
which Marcus Island was to enter as a
cable station. These instructions have
since been modified because of the de-
sire that the cable should touch Amer
lean soil. The route which the ship Is
now surveying contemplates the laying
of a cable between Hawaii, Midway
Island and Guam.
Marcus Island, before it's occupation
by Japan, was considered American be-
cause of its occupancy by American cit
liens. II is a rocky, precipitous piece of
land, of little value, without a good
harbor; but this Government has never
considered it American territory. Ac-
cording to an official with whom l
talked tonight it is not proposed to dis
pute Japan's claim to its possession.
