WOMAN AND A TELEGRAM.
A Missfve That Caused Unpleasant Re

it is a telegram. There is something about
the mere sight of the black-lettered yellow
envelope that fairly makes woman's

nothing serious has happened. What made
me think of all this was the small adven-
ture Of Washington young woman who
has been visiting in Wilkesbarre. She
lives, when she Is at home, on vermont ay-
enue. and in Wilkesbarre she has been
staying with cousins. The first evening Of
her visit she went to the theater with her
two girl cousins. The play was morbid,
lugubrious sort of thing, and she was al
most in tears anyway when the second act
was over. The orchestra had just begun to
play when the manager of the theater APP
peared before the curtain and motiOned the
leader to silence. His face was very grave.
and he held a telegram in his hand.

AS said before. architecture owes moth
ing TO these new buildings. They are
money making ventures defeating their
own purpose by their multiplication. Their
exigencies are hostile to our art, the at
mosphere in which they grow tends TO de-
stroy it. So you find them slabs or boxes
in shape. with ornamented front, perhaps,
and bare walls-as they do not know what
is coming beside them.
The great new feature in them Is the
steel structure. giving great strength with
great economy of space.
AS to new materials other than steel,
these greas buildings have given US moth
ing though they may have stimulated de-
mand to such a degree as TO be response

The Play.

When the arc-lights on avenue and square
Shed their white glamor, and the gas-jets glow
Adown the street, far-reaching row on row,
And one scarce knows IL in the upper air
Is cloud star-shne or the moonlight fair,
Forth to the play the merry pleasurers go
To see the mines enact, in mimic show,
Life with its passionate JOY and dull despair.
And yet you need not pass the playhouse doors
To gaze comedy; behold it where
Yon urchin capers with absurd grimacel
And If you mark the human flood that pours
It's pillows by you, you are aware
You will meet grisly tragedy face to face!

Colonel Bryan was asked for his
views on the plan of Professor Had
ley last night just as he was leaving
his hotel to take dinner with a party
Of personal and political friends. He
Said: 'The idea is a good one and
should be encouraged. A man who
tries to rob the public by means of a
trust or by wrecking a bank or a rail
road should be no more countenanced
by society than q plain highwayman.
The thing needed is to awaken and
educate the public mind and con-
science on such matters.
"When the people understand the
harm that there really is in trusts
they will be ready to apply remedy.
There are things which were permit
ted in society twenty-five years ago
which are not tolerated at all today.
The change has been wrought through
education. A similar change will take
place when the people learn the true
moral status of the trust question.
II am glad, indeed. that college men,
who are leaders in education, are tax
ing I'D the matter for discussion. Il
is step in the right direction. and
have no doubt that their researches
will result in greatly helping to solve
the problem. But so far as ostracism
is concerned I do not believe that as
a remedy for the trust evil it is likely
to become noticeably effective very
soon"

BLOODY PISTOL FIGHT
THREE MEN ARE SHOT TO DEATH
Four Others Wounded, One of Whom Will
Die-Feud That Is Now
at an End.

Frankfort, Ky, Jan. IA shocking
tragedy in which the lives Of three
prominent men were sacrificed and
that of a fourth hangs by a slender
thread, while two others miraculously
escaped with painful injuries. occurred
here at / O'Clock yesterday. The prin-
cipals in the tragedy were ex-Represen-
tative David G. COlson, Of Middlesboro,
and Lieutenant Ethelbert Scott, of
Somerset. Scott was shot six times by
Colson and almost instantly killed.
Luther w. Demarree, assistant post
master at Shelbyville, an innocent by
stander, was shot three times, and
died instantly. Charles Julian, another
by-Stander, was shot and died a half
hour later, and Captain B. B. Golden,
of Barboursville, commonwealth at
torney of. the Twenty-seventh judicial
district, was shot in the back and is
not expected to survive.
Colonel COlsOn himself was shot
twice in the arm. Harry McEwing, of
Louisville, was shot in the foot, and W.
O. Ridpatch, of Chicago, sustained a
broken leg by the lifeless form Of
Scott falling against him as it rolled
down the stairway. The killing occur
red in the lobby Of the Capitol hotel,
the principal hostelry of the state
capital, the room being we'll filled at
the time with politicians and others
who are here attending the contests
for state offices before the legislature.
Colonel Colson and a party Of
friends, among whom was Demarree
were sitting in the lobby engaged in
conversation as Scott and Captain
Golden came up the stairs from the
bar room. When they had advanced
about half way across the room, walk
ing in the direction Of Colson, the lat
ter, it is said, half rising from his
chair, fired at Scott, who instantly re-
turned the fire. The shooting then be-
came general and by-standers are at
variance as to the number engaged in
it.
The fight was the result of a feud
that began in the army in 1898, when
Colson was colonel of a Kentucky regi-
ment and Scott a lieutenant in the
same regiment. This feud then cul-
minated in a shooting affray in which
Colson was shot in the groin. They
had been looking for each other for
some time Yesterday they found
each other Colson is in jail and is
charged with all the homicides. He

Three Children Drowned in Sudden Rise
of the POtIatch River.


Kendrick, Ida, Jan. 15-As a result
of sudden flood in the Pot
latch river three lives are
known to have been lost. and fears are
expressed for others. Twenty houses
here have been swept away, stores arc
flooded, railroad tracks and bridges
have been swept away, and many peo-
pie have fed to adjacent hills. Street
Commissioner Hamblin and family
tried to escape from the flooded dis
trict in buggy. The vehicle was over
turned and three children were
drowned.
Hamblin was brought to the bank
after a daring rescue by John Long,

dead from exposure and anguish. The
flood carried away half the warehouse
of the Kendrick company, in which
was stored $4,000 bushels of wheat AT
midnight the flood began to recede
slowly, but the telephone operator who
sent this message was standing waist
deep in the cold water.
Juliaette, Ida, Jan. 15.-Railroad
men say that for miles along the Pot
latch there is no vestige of track, ties
or roadbed. Some believe the Northern
Pacific will not be able to run trains
over this branch before March.
