NEW CHIMES IN THE CALENDAR
Mans Lawlsss Ingenuity Is Giving the
 Courts Added Troubie.

Under the laws of the land as they exist at present the theft of la1p Is larceny; it may be Roman lamp or Greek lamp, an oil lamp or an electric lamp. Whether it constitutes grand larceny or petit larceny will in certain states of the union depend not upon it's age or newness, but upon it's mar ket value. On the other hand there are great number of modern crimes which could not nave been committed n ancient days because the instru- ments for their perpetration did not exist. They are the outcome of mod ern civilization and they require new legislation, The tapping of tele. graph wire is a modern form of high. way robbery. In the old days the method was to waylay the courier on the roaG and to rob him of his purse or of his message The formula of the modern highwayman is not Stand and deliver" but simply Deliver" Aae he may get a message from the light ming courier which may be worth more to him than a Well-fi1led purse. But there is nothing to be gained by indis- criminate tapping. It is some special message or information that the thief is looking for, possibly for it's effect on the stock market or on other busi- ness ventures, but the use of cipher codes renders the tapping of telegraph wires of little avail even in time of war, unless the code as well as the message has been stolen. For the tap- ping of power or light lines the mod ern highwayman comes in out of ahs rain. He can do his business better indoors by attacking the electric me- ter, confusing it, calculations and thus getting more current thap he pays for, Such at least seems to Re the impiica- ton of recent statutes.

The flowers, which are pure white iii color, have rich fra grance. Each berry contains two seeds. CT beans, and as these are gathered Eefore fully ripened. they are dried in the sun. It is common sight to See coffee drying on blrlaps, or mats, ID !he city streets. The average Puerto Rican has little or no use for a coffee mill.

DEATH LIST INCREASES.
Now Thought That One Hunareo
Perished in West Virginia.

Williamson, w. Va, June 27.-lhere
is no longer any doubt but that the
list of dead, the result of the recent
floods. will exceed one hundred.
Parties reached here this evening
from the upper end of the hooded
district, bringing the first authen-
tic information received from the
scene of disaster. The party just
arrived consists of Judge Doollttle
of Huntington, Judge Flourney OF
Charleston and Elias Hatfield, sher-
lift of Mingo county.
These gentlemen left Vivian Sum

city has been a peri1ous one.
Judge Doolittle said to the Assoc
ciated correspondent tonight that
words could not describe the scene
OF devastation between Vivian ana
Davy. 1t was a tidal wave from
cloudburst and swept everything be-
fore it. In the track OF its course
everything is gone including coke
ovens and pillars of stone. At N1vl-
an the water came roaring down
the mountain sides in monster waves
and people who attempted to flee to
the hills for safety were washed back

rent of the Elkhorn.
The section visited by the flood
was thickly settled, but as the popu-
lation consists chiefly of 1ciners who
were at work at the time, the ma
jority of the dead are women and
children, and thrilling stories of res
cue are told. At one point mother
climbed a huge pillar of a railway
trestle, holding to her breast her
only child. Her home was washed
away, but the mother and child were
saved. Fift> en- people are said to
have been drowned at Eckman. At
keystone the loss of life was great.
Probably thirty presons persisted
there. Mothers and babes were
swept away by the raging cellrr2nt;
strong men battled for their lives,
but without avail in many instances.

HULL WANTS A GRANT.
CONGRESSMAN Thinks Con gress Should
Omen Up the Philippines.

Manila, June 26.--In a recent con-
versation with the Associated Press
correspondent Congressman Hull OF
Iowa, said:
''The business development of the
Philippines was set back a year by
congress refusal to permit granting
franchises. The new congress must,
of course, at it's coming session, legis-
late for the islands, and if we are 60
ing to insist that no franchises be
granted for the protection OF large
business enterprises, we virtually say
that we are opposed, or, at least, in
different, to the development of the
philippines.
Mr.. Hull, in common with all the
more intelligent Americans who some
to the Philippines in these days, be-
lieves the business future of the is
lands, and of Manila in particular, is
bright with promise. ...
Mr.. Hull and his associates in lum-
boring enterprises have recently had
practical demonstration of the fact
the Philippine lumber will sell in the
American market. . ...
An agent of the Pullman company,
who has Just been negotiating here
for Philippine woods, named a price
at which his company would take all
the Philippine seaport. This offer,
which was declined, tended to in
crease the assurance generally felt
here that the beautiful finishing
woods of the Philippines are hence
forth to be much in demand.
