TO BUILD GARDEN OF EDEN.
A Wealthy Resident of the Nutmeg
State to Carry Out Cherished
Dream.

Evans Weed has fine farm in New
field, Conn. He is a bachelor. Mr..
Weed has always thought well of the
garden of Eden. Having reached ma
ture years, with wealth and leisure on
his hands, he-has announced his inten-
ton of carrying out the cherished
dream of his life. The Weed farm is to
be transformed to counterpart of the
fascinating place told of in Holy Writ.
He will make artificial lakes that will
appear to be genuine. Every known
flower will bloom and shed fragrance,
and bees will get their honey from
them. Abundant verdure will afford
generous shade, and thousands of birds
will sing in the leafy trees. Mr.. Weed
intends to have all the beasts of the
field that are not too wild. There is to
be an Eve also.
Mr. Weeds first move in this respect
will be to petition the legislature to
change his name to Adam. Then he
will advertise for an Eve. He says the
only provision he will insist upon as to
his prospective helpmeet is that she
shall be a good woman, and, of course,
not too old for him. Her name must be
Eve by baptism. No legislature-made
Eve will answer

MAY EXTEND IT'S POWER.
Pressure Brought to Bear on Con-
Eress to Legislate for Interstate :.
Commerce Commission, n

So much pressure has been brought
to bear upon the senate for legislation
giving the interstate commerce com
mission additional powers it has been
decided by the senate committee to
take up the Cullom bill and pass it in its
present shape, if possible. (
The bill in its present shape seems to
be entirely satisfactory to the business
men of the country, and, judging from
the number of petitions for its enact
ment, and changes would be unsatis-
factory. The railroad companies, how
ever, are not at all pleased with the bill
and will oppose it unless it is amended
so as to permit of pooling tosa limited
extent at least. %.s..-
Senator Cullom said he was deter
mined to push the measure, and he
hopes to have it adopted in it's present
shape. It is well known, however, the
railroads have enormous strength in
the senate, and it is certain they will
not permit the bill to go through unless
it is amended to suit them. - 81

GET NO REAL TEA.
Chinese Minister Says Americana Do
Not Know What the Real
Article Is Like,

The members of the tea trade of New
York gave complimentary dinner to
the members Of the United States board
of tea experts in the Waldorf the other
night. WI Ting Fang, the Chinese min
lister, was guest, and in a speech said,
in part:
Il assure you that appreciate much
the warm welcome that you have given
me tonight. I consider this not only
a compliment to myself, but I believe
it is further evidence of friendship and
good will on your part toward my coun-
try.
II am not On expert on tea, but / re-
member from statistics that imports
from China into this country are not as
large as they should be. Is it because
OF the inferior quality of the tea? You
never see any tea, or if you do, it is SO
adulterated that you don't know it is
tea. If you Americans acquired the
habit of using tea as we Chinese do you
would have a good tea, and it is only re-
spectacle that you should impose a tax
upon it, 2

PRIESTS BOOK TO WIN fame
Father Hare, OF south sDalkota,.C om
pletes Work ON avaluable Il
Volume. =

Father Robert w. HARE, q member
of the South Dakota state board Of
regents, on which he has served for
many years as secretary, has just
completed a book which is likely to
attract considerable attention in
learned circles and make the author
famous. -
"Father HARE is man Of scholarly
attachments" said Doane Robinson,
the well-known South Dakota poet,
who was permitted to examine the
manuscript, which is now ready for
the publisher, land his great philo-
logical work must take rank as one
of the greatest literary achievements
of the century. It is difficult to find
a word which defines the character Of
the work, but in a sentence it devel-
ops each of the nearly 700 Aryan root
words forward through the Sanscrit,
Greek, Latin and Germanic languages
to English. AS the product of single
pen it is only equaled by the work
of Noah Webster in the production
of his dictionary. In some instances
more than 1900 English words are
brought up from one Aryan root"

WOES OF A TURK.
Minister at Washington Has Trouble.
Hiding His Wife &.


The Turkish minister at Washington
Ali Ferrouh Bey, who has been such an
object of interest since he returned to
this country accompanied by q beau
tiful young wife, his sister and q Turk
duenna, will shortly remove his house
hold to a remote suburb, pro- baby Chevy
Chase. s.sss
The minister has been forced to this
step by the curiosity Of the Washing
ton people. Since his arrival public
interest has conferred around his home
to such an extent that he has not been
able to take the ladies, even closely
yelled, either to walk or ride. The win
dows of their apartments are kept
closed and covered, SO intense is his
fear that some camera fiend might get
an opportunity to obtain picture Of
the ladies or the interior of the harem.
This, he has explained, would mean
his instant recall and degradation,
since he promised the sultan that his
household would be maintained under
the exact conditions at the American
capital as if he were living under the
shadow of St. Sophia.
This close confinement has resulted
in making all the ladies i'll, and it is
now absolutely necessary to remove
them to residence surrounded by am
pie grounds and in an isolated loca-
ton. The minister has inspected sew
eral villas outside the city, but as he
wishes to erect a. high wall around the
grounds the owners object to this part
of the contract.
Washington society is somewhat du-
bious about the treatment to be &C.
corded Nine. Ferrouh. She has not sent
cards in return for those LETT by the
other ladies of the diplomatic corps
and of the wives of the state depart
ment officials. The minister at first in
vited several friends to visit his wife
and sister, but since the Arabic news
papers have criticised this procedure
he is inclined to keep the ladies in abso-
lutte seclusion. He hopes, however,
when he is moved to the country, to give
few select Eat homes" The Turkish
ladies do not speak English, but they
have lately engaged governess to
coach them for the coming entertain
ments

Sultan Has TrOuh1es

One of the favorite daughters of the
sultan of Turkey has eloped with a
poet. The sultan is reported to Be
greatly depressed, but, says the Chi
cago Times-Herald, it is not explained
whether his feeling of sadness is due to
the loss of his daughter or to fear
that$he will have to support the .shappy
pair" when they return.

AUCOUTRIER GIVES 1T UP
BICYCLE RIDERS CONSIDERABLY BE
HIND LAST YEARS RECORD.
Some Lively sprfntinE During the
Forenoon Between Elkes
and McEachern.

NEW YORK. December 12.-The third
day of thc sfx-day bicycle race at Madison
Square Garden opened with eight teams
still in the contest Aucoutrier gave UP al
Z o'clock this morning. saying he was COM
pletely exhausted. his partner Muller was
heart-brOken. and said he would never for
give Aucoutrer for the disgrace he had
brought upon him.
As the scores stood at O'Clock there
were only seven laps or trifie less than
three-ouarters of mile between the lead
ers. Eikes-McFarland, and Pierce Nc ach-
ern, and the tailers-enders Kaser and Ry-
ser.
The riders were some three ami a haf
miles behind last years record with the
commencement of the forenoon, and 1t is
likely that the pace today and tomorrow
will fall considerably behind that of the
first two days. The remarkable way in
which the three leading teams have MAIN
tsined a practical equality from the start,
except for the loss of lap by Smar-
GCCgoultz, would seem to indicate that
there will be close finish culmina ting in
a tremendous dash Saturday night.
Danger From Rear Guard.
The clever way in which Kaser and Ryser
made up lap last night and the brilliant
wfirl around the boards by which Aaron
son, unaided. ran away with an extra lap
before the whole field. something which
none of the three leading teams has yet
been able to do with one another, shows
that the men in the latter half of the COL
umn are by no means to be considered out
of the race
All the men now in the race claim to be
In good condition and able to fight through
to the finish. Mcfarland is a little stiff
from his fall yesterday, but Elkes. who
had been commented on by some as too
slight to last through six days contest
Is said to be as strong and fit as he was
at the start.
The only squirt of the early forenoon oc-
Cured about 9 o'clock. when McEachern
came on to relieve Pierce. McEachern ap-
parently did not like his wheel and let
Pierce go on again until he could make a
change
Relying on the fact that Pierce had Just
tired himself by sprint to put his partner
at the head of the bunch before leaving
him, Elkes settled himself in his saddle to
make tear around the course. McEach-
ern was back again on the instant and he
and Pierce took couple of whirls around
lap in and lap out, until it looked as II
Elkes would pay the penalty for his own
suggestion. He made hill of his back and
hung on within a foot of the front until
Mcfarland was put in the breach. Then
the squirt ended every other one be-
tween the leaders had ended, by all settling
back to an easier gait.
The Score at r.. NJ
The score at 9 pm. was as follows:
Elkes and MacFarland. 1.2136; Pierce and
McEachern, 1,2136; Simar and Gougotz,
1.213.5; Turville and Gimm. 12l33: Waller

A report upon the Ibero-American Con-
gress recently inaugurated at Madrid has
been received at the State Department from
United States Consul General Lay at Bar
celona. The aim Of the Spanish delegates
is to open the South American markets to
Spain's products, he says, and to that end
the following proposals are discussed: The
establishment of free ports in Spain; the
formation of an international bank: the ad-
visibility Of suppressing the favored ma
ton clause in all treaties to be made in
volving any special advantages that may
be mutually conceded by Spain and the
Spanish republics: an international copy
right among all Spanish-speaking countries;
state-regulated emigration agencies; in
creased facilities to commercial travellers,
and improvements In the postal service be-
tween Spain and Central and South Amerf-
ca. The laying of cable between Spain
and South America Is also to be advocated,
and the question of establishing uniform
currency Is to be considered.
