Odors That Permeate FooGstugs.

/ A fish dealer in one OF the most styl-
ish parts Of New York was deeply hurt
and badly worried one day by the COM
plant Of one Of his big. customers that
a fine salmon which he had sent to the
house for q big dinner had proved to
be entirely uneatable when served ow-
ing to most penetrating taste Of creo-
sote that pervaded it. The fish dealer
realized, although the charge was not
made directly, that he was more than
suspected of having sold a stale fish
that had been washed or. brushed with
an antiseptic preparation to hide it's
condition. He knew that the salmon
had been perfectly fresh when Fhe sold
1t. and for days he puzzled in vain over
the problem. But suddenly he remem.
{bered that on the day the fish was sent
out a tank wagon full of creosote had
stopped before his place and shat his
cart, into which the fish was being
placed, was directly alongside of the
powerful stuff. That appearssto have
been enough to permeate the delicate
flesh of the fish. New York Press. &

SITUATION IN PHILIPPINES,
Secretary Root Says No Additional
Troops Are Needed.

Washington Oct 30.-A considera-
BILE part of the cabinet meeting was
devoted to consideration of the mill
taIy situation in the Philippines. Tho
meeting was attended by all the mem
bers and all participated in the dis
cussion. The subject was brought to
the attention of the president and cab
met by Secretary Root: Conditions
In the island of Samar have led the
war department to consider the pro-
priety of stopping for the time being
the reductions in the Philippine army
through the discharge of enlisted men
whose terms are expiring However,
after hearing Secretary Roots report
and discussing the situation thorough
ly the cabinet decided that there was
no present occasion to suspend the re-
duction in the forces in the Philip
pines. The original policy. therefore,
will prevail and it will not be neces-
sary. it is understood, to send to the
Philippines at once the half dozen reg
1ments selected for the service last
week. Secretary Root said that the
sporadic outbreaks at isolated points
in the islands would be dealt with
properly as they arose and additional
troops to meet these small emergen-
cles scarcely would be needed.

czoLGosz' BRAIN NORMAL,
Result of the Autopsy Held on the
a. =. Remains. ~, -.

Auburn, N. Y, Oct. 30-Almost the
entire attention of the physicians as
signed to hold the autopsy was direct
ed towards discovering, if possible,
whether the assassin was in any way
mentally irresponsible. The autopsy
was conducted by DR.. Carlos F. Nc
Donald, E. A. Spitzka, and Prison Phy-
sician Germ. The top of the head
was sawed off through the thickest
part of the skull, which was found to
be of normal thickness, and it was the
unanimous agreement of the micro
scopal examination that the brain was
normal. or slightly above normal. This
demonstrated to. the satisfaction of
the physicians that in no way was
Czolgosz' mental condition, except as
it might have been perverted. respon-
sible for the crime.
After the autopsy the body was
placed in a black stained pine coffin,
every portion Of the anatomy being re-
placed under the supervision of DR..
Germ and Warden Mead. Shortly
after wards it was taken to the prison
cemetery and an extraordinary pre-
caution taken to completely destroy
1t by pouring large quantity of acid
over it as it was lowered into the
grave. 1t is the belief of the Dhrrj'
clans that the body will be entirely
disintegrated within - hours. Dur
ing that time, and as long as is deem
ed necessary, a guard will be kept
over the unmarked grave.

Strange Lapse of Memory.

Cases Of forgetfulness on matters Of
interest are on record. While DR..
Priestley was preparing his work en-
titled Harmony Of the Gospels he
had taken great pains to inform him
self on subject which had been under
discussion relative to the Jewish Pass
over. He wrote out the result Of his
researches and laid the paper away.
His attention and time being taken
with something else. some little time
elapsed before the subject occurred to
his mind again. Then the same time
and pains were given to the subject
that had been given to it before, and
the results were again put on paper
and laid aside. So completely had he
forgotten that he had copied the same
paragraphs and reflections before that
1t was only when he had found the
papers on which he had transcribed
them that it was recalled to his reccI-
lection. This same author had fre-
Quently read his own published writ
ings and did not recognize them. /

AN OVERWORkED PHRASE.
The Expression .Ee Took His Life I'm
His HundE..,

His HANDS," g
"The expression he took his life in
his hands always struck me as being
very FOOLISH" said a bright young gen
tlelna2, "and I have often wondered
why SO many persons persist in using
it when they want to speak of extraor-
binary dangers. Now. extraordinary
danger is one thing and the simple,
commonplace thing Of taking ones own
life in ones hands is an entirely differ
ent thing.
II work in a big building. There are
steam engine and a ma ammoth boilei
in the basement. Whenever enter
that building, if they are running the
engine in the basement, l take my life
IN my hands. l get on the elevator on
the fifth floor; take my life in my
hands. l go out of town; the car
may tumble over trestle somewhere.

fall on me. 1 make my way across the
thoroughfare; who knows but what
a street car Or vehicle of some sort

street, may not a brick or loosened
cornice come crashing down upon me?
There are q row and shot or two on
the corner; may not a stray bullet wing
me? And SO on.
"Pessimism? No. Logic That's all.
It just shows the difference between
taking ones own life in ones hand
and the matter of confronting extraor-
dinary danger. These risks are ordi-
aary. plain, old, everyday risks. The
fireman who dashes into a burning
building to rescue a child, the fellow
who grabs the bride of a runaway
horse, the hero who will plunge into
the river to save some person who is
about to drown-these are the persons
who confront what / would call ex-
traordinary dangers, and the worn
platitude Of saying of one of these he
took his life in his hands would not
tit the case because there would be in
the act an element Of heroism which
would place it much above the COM
monplace. Orleans Times-Dem-

HOYT'S JOKE ON M'kEE,
How the Playwright Had a Bit of
Fun With His Manager.

How the Playwright Had a Bit of
Fun With His Manager.
On one occasion Manager Mckee
was watching a performance from a
box. where he was seated with some
friends.
During the first act an usher came
to him with the information that
gentleman was waiting at the door to
see him on most important business.
'"Tell him can't come out-rm very
busy" was the answer.
The usher returned in q moment to
say that the man insisted on seeing
Mr.. Mckee, who again sent out word
that it was impossible to see him.
The man outside then sent in the
message that he was an author and
had play that he wished Mckee to
read Immediately.
This incensed the manager, who said
to the usher:
"Tell that fool out there that this is
no time to bring a play to be read.
Get him out of the place-I won't see
him. won't read his play"
A few minutes later the usher came
back and Informed Mckee that the
man utterly refused to go without see
ing him, and that he must be granted
an interview, also that he was quite
sure that the manager would not only
read his play, but he would also pro-
duce it, and added that he would bet
$1,000 that Hoyt s. Mckee would be
only too glad to get the play.
at that Mckee became furiously
angry, and, excusing himself to his
party, left the box with the intention
of personally inviting the persistent
author to ,begone. -
"Wheres that idiot who insists on
seeing meT'. he asked Of the treasurer
at the boz office. Then the treasurer
pointed to a man standing in the shad-
ow" with roll of manuscript under
his arm.
It was Hoyt, with his newly finished
play, which he handed to Mckee, who
said to those present:
"It's on me-what'll you have boys%'

SITUATION GROWS WORSE
British Get Very Little Comfort from
South African News.

London, Jan. 1.-THE situation in
South Africa grows worse rather
than better. Lord Kitchener's dis
patches are more laconic than those
of Lord Roberts, and little else of
Importance is allowed to come
through. The Times, in an editorial
today, finds comfort in the thought
that 1.-THE process of attrition is doing
it's work and must shortly lead to the
inevitable result" In other quarters,
however, there is less satisfaction
with the position of affairs, which
has practically necessitated the for
tification of Cape Town. No steps
have been taken to comply with Lord
Kitchener's demands for reinforce
ments. Lord Coleridge, in letter
excusing his non-attendance at a po-
litical meeting, says: II loathe and de-
test this war and the policy which has
brought it about, the mode in which
it is conducted, and the undignitied
excitement over the defeat of a hand
full of peasants, defending their coun-
try, at the hands of ten times their
number of trained soldiers, backed
by the wealth of England" This
mornings dispatches report that a
small party of Beers carried off cat
tie close to the east fort at Pretoria.
Nine hundred Beers, under Comman-
dant Kritzinger, are fifteen miles
from Richmond, in the direction of
Murraysburg. Rumors are spreading

Roers, supposed to be trekking west

More Serious.
London, Jan. 12.-It is understood
chat Lord Kitchener now holds Sc
curely all the railroad lines in South
Africa, having recovered the Delagoa
Bay line, which had been cut January
z. According to the Pretoria corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail, Lord
kitchener is now organizing force
OF 10000 irregular horse, which will
occupy some weeks. When this force
Is ready he will resume offensive
operations. Meanwhile the invasion
of Cape Colony looks more threaten
ing. The news that Commandment
Hertzog has two guns is rather
startling, as it was formerly asserted
that the invaders had no guns. The
defenses of Cape Town, including two
AZ naval guns, are now completed,
and the recruiting of volunteers is
active throughout the colony. Ac--
cording to dispatches to the Daily
Express, the admiral of the Cape
fleet is prepared, in an emergency.

INVASION is A MYSTERY
Great Britain Cannot Understand
Boer rloYements.

London, Jan. 14-History fails to
furnish a parallel to the Boer invas-
ion of Cape Colony. A whole month
has elapsed since the republicans
crossed the Orange river, and still
Great Britain knows next to moth
ing of their numbers, whereabouts or
doings, and still less of the objects
of the inroad. The only thing known
with tolerable certainty is that they
are progressing southwark, over
some sparsely inhabited tracts, where
they escape observation. Other large
bodies are traversing the very heart
of the colony. The only logical ex-
PLANTATION seems to be the largely ac-
cepted idea that the invasion forms
part of great organized scheme of
that Napoleon of the war, General
De Wet to strike terror in the Brit
ish colony, which, unquestionably, is
nearly denuded of troops, and trust
to the chapter of accidents to achieve
such success as will enable the Beers
to almost dictate the terms of peace.
The hating policy of the invaders,
however, seems to threaten to defeat
their aims and has enabled the hast
lily enrolled levies to volunteers to &C.
cupy vital strategic points. While
there are some signs that the gather
ing of troops in the rear OF the
hurghers is beginning to press them
southwark into the arms of the Brit
ish moving from the seaboard, in
stead of attempting to drive them
back again across the Orange river,
where they might be enabled to re-
Join General De Wet. In the mean
while disquieting hints are arriving
of the alarming rapidity with which
the British army is wasting away.
The long lists of dead, wounded and
diseased bear out these stories, while
there are abundant signs that the
troops at the front are becoming
stale and discontinued, the general
expression at home is becoming more
acute and the public is becoming
skeptical of the competency of the
government to get the country out of
the wretched tangle.
