The vanity of human intelligence
seeks various outlets. One man seeks
to devise a perfect government and
another is in search of perpetual mo-
ton. Neither has succeeded as yet,
and both are still hopeful in spite Of
the strictly practical people who shake
their heads and declare It can't be
done.

Frenehman,s MechAnlcal pues

A mechanical duck that does every
thing except lay eggs has been invent
ed by a Frenchman. The bird goes
waddling in search of food and picks
up seeds. These pass into its stomach
through a series of triturations, and
accomplish process Of digestion. It
is said to be impossible to distinguish
this duck from a living one. It
splashes about in the water, flaps its
wings and quacks most realistically.

ARE PRONISSORY NOTES.
Pawn Tickets Come Under That
Heading, According to Inter.
nal Revenue Ruling.

Pawn tickets are collateral proms-
sorry notes. That is the decision just
reached by the government and the an
nouncement will cost the money lenders
of Pittsburg $4,SOO. says the Plttsburg
Commercial Gazette. Every ticket is
sued by them during the two years and
Il half. since July l, 1898. will have to
be decked with a two-cent war revenue
stamp. and the brokers are now busy
with their books in an effort to learn
exactly the amount due the govern
ment.
The announcement that they were in
debted to the government came to the
pawnbrokers very unexpectedly, and
while they are submitting to the ruling
without protest. they still feel that
something very like snap judgment is
being taken on them. When the war
revenue bill was first drafted pawn
tickets were slated for 25-cent tax. In
the east. where loans as low as ten
ceiitS are maui, tHls DIoNiSiOH WAS
fought bitterly, with the result that
pawn tickets were exempted. Since
then the tickets have been unstamped
Now the new ruling has been made
and the tickets are officially declared
20 he collateral promisory notes. AS
such they are liable to a two cent tax
An inspector of the internal revenue
department has just completed his
rounds of the Pittsburg brokers and has
served notice on them that the back tax
is due. He also went over the books.
Collector James S. Fruit was at first in
clined to exact the statutory fine of $40
for each unstamped ticket. A protest
against the injustice OF this was in
strumental in securing a change of base
on his part and the brokers will pay
only the tax,
There are ten brokers in Pttsburg ard
it was estimated conservatiVely last
night that their total contribution to
the national eXchequer would be but
little short of $4,000. When the pay
ments made by the thousands of
brokers throughout the United States
are added to this amount, it can plainly
be seen that the government will go far
under the new ruling, toward making
up the reduction in the revenue now
pending before congress.

GOVERNMENT WILL NOT Interfere
With the Celebrated Zionist,
Says Elder Moot, His Faith
fuI Disciple.

There has been considerable discuss
sion of late over the probability Of the
United States interfering with the re-
turn Of Dowic, the celebrated Chicago
Zionist who has been in the foreign
country seeking whom he might con-
vert to the new belief In connection
with this it has been charged that Dow
lie in early years committed a grievance
which cost him his liberty, and these
two matters have brought him into
prominence aside from his strange re-
ligious tendencies. One of Mr.. Dowies
elders, Mr.. Moot. of Salem, has offered
for publication an explanation which
will be read with interest at least by
those who are members of the faith in
and around this city.
In part Elder Moot says: REV. Dowie,
who was brought up a staid Congrega-
tionalist, was always Jealous of God.
When a minister in that church he had
bestowed upon him the highest place in
the church. He resigned that position
and worked as an interdenomnational
evangelist. While in that capacity he
persisted in street preaching. This be-
came offensive to a certain class of city
officials who passed an ordinance pro-
hibiting such. He refused to obey the
ordinance and suffered the consequences
until the premier annulled the ordinance
in his case and gave him his liberty.
'It is astonishing what capital his
enemies are trying to make out of that
affair. Persons from MANY countries
attended his mission at Zurich, Switz-
erland, this month and though of only
few days duration, ~ were baptized

at was heralded again that the lace
workers from England were to be sent
back and that the lace industries could

Though the immigration bureau at
Philadelphia decided they should be de-
ported at two hearings yet, when the
matter was presented before Secretary
Gage, Mr.. Powderly and others al

Judge the law in their case, they, the

prophecies of the reporters were found
false. ,.....,

Wants A Divorce
Petition 10 Be Filed By Walter Eastoa
Convicted Murderer.
He IS NOW IN Ohio PENETENTIARl
Serving a Life Sentence...Wan,s
Custody of Three Children
May Get a Pardon.

Walter Easton. whom many will re-
call as having killed Thomas McGraw.
a comrade at Dayton soldiers home and
was sent to the penitentiary after hav-
ing been convicted of murder in the sec
ond degree. has engaged counsel to
prosecute an action for divorce against
his wife. Easton. in addition to asking
for a separation wants the court to
grant him the custody of his three chill
dren, aged respectively 10, and 4 years.
He insists that he has the means of
caring for them in spite of the fact that
he is himself an inmate of the Ohio
penitentiary
A peculiar situation arises i'm this
known to the criminal annals of the
state. After Easton had killed McGraw,
his wife, whom he now seeks separa-
ton from. is aid to have come to his
rescue and testified under oath that she
had been the paramour of the man her
husband had killed.
Easton was married in this city in
1886. and shortly after went to Van
Vert. where they lived for long time.
Friends have recently been at work in
an effort to secure a pardon for Eas-
ton, and It looks now like the effort Will
be crowned with success.

Epidemic raging.
Smallpox Sweeus AShtabuIs, Bristol
and Other Towns.
PANIC IN infected DISTRICTS.
State Board of Health Has
Taken Charge..-Quaran-
tines are Maintained.

A despatch from Asht abula says that
that town is in fever of apprehension
and excitement. caused by the out
break of smallpox.
Within the past few days Is cases
have been reported.
The disease not being confined to any
particular locality. but is scattered
throughout the city. being reported in
the wealther residence sections as well
as in the tenement districts.
At Bristol. in Trumbull county, the
disease has bafled the efforts made TO
suppress it and has become apidemic.
Such alarming state of affairs exists at
Bristol that the state board of health
has been appealed to, to assist in COM
batting the disease. An exodus of
frightened people has begun from Bris-
to. every train leaving the city carry
ing away a number of people who hope
to escape the disease, in some cases en-.
tire families leaving their homes in
fear of the dread disease, bat only
those who have not been exposed to the
disease are allowed to leave town.
What makes the conditions more
alarming is the fact that there was a
case developed in the postofflce at
Bristol and all the mail sent out being
probably contaminated and not having
been fumlgated, might probably carry
the disease, to which cause the cases
at Ashtabula are attributed.
The state board of health has row
taken charge of the infected districts
and everything possible is being done
to control and clean out the disease,
but such has been the rapid spread
despite che efforts that the people have
almost become panic stricken.

WILL USE FORCE
Mrs. Smith Wants Some Of Her

Children MUST SUPPORT PARENTS
According to an Old Ohio Law---
Massi:Ion Woman Has
"Bad Spells"

Mrs. Joseph Smith, OF Massillon

responsive love in the heart of her heir
ess daughter, Mrs. Clarence Smith, Of
inverness, whom she has not seen
since her children were taken to the
Farmount home at Alliance, fourteen
years ago, is rot entirely without hope
Mrs Smith has heard of the Ohio law
which says that children capable of so
doing must support their aged or inca
pacit ated parents whether they want
to or not
"Of course" said Mrs. Smith today.
Il would much rather have the daugh-
ter give with free Will. She has
plenty, and we have little. 1t would be
no more than right of her to invite me
to visit her. l suppose there'll be a
claim that she is not bound to anything
for me even If there is a law saying
children shall support their parents on
account of her having had a new set cf
parents. But they can't get around the
fact that | brought her up till she was
seven years old. and that the love and
care | gave her, what there was of it.,
was the best. OF course | could't go
down and visit her after what she said
in the paper"
Mrs. Joseph Smith has discovered
that she is really stronger than she
supposed 1t was her firm conviction,
when the first inkling of her daughters
refusal to do something for her came,
that if this proved to be the real truth
she would not survive the day. She
said she was subject TO spasms, and
that she feared the shock would bring
on fatal attack. Nevertheless,
though the worst has been realized,
Mrs. Smiths health has continued to
be good.
