Time Is Growing short.


Washington, March 24.-The question
of Chinese indemnities has given wav
Tor the moment to the more pressing issue
over the consummation of the Russia
China agreement relating to Manchuria
The latter subject has reached a decisive
stage, as only three days remain in which
China can confirm Or reject the agreement.
Up to the present time, neither the state
department nor the Chinese minister has
received any report that China has reject
ed the treaty.
There naturally is much anxiety In off
cial and diplomatic circles as to the out
come, the active part taken by the various
powers and the threatening attitude of
Japan giving unusual Importance to the
conclusions to be reached within the next
few days. The Chinese minister today had
a conference with Secretary Hay, the Man
churian question being the chief question
OF discussion. The minister brought no
definite information, however, as TO what
has been done on the agreement
So far as the United States is concerned.
1t seems likely that the last word has been
spoken, and there is not expected to be
any decisive move or protest beyond what
already has been given At the same time
1t is appreciated that the United States
has large commercial interests in Man
churia which can not but be affected if

Prosecutor Frank T. Lloyd, in Cam
den, Thursday, gave expression to his
disapproval of the manner in which many
parents are soliciting him to send their
children to the reform school Several
parents were in his Office at the time and
he told them that while he did not desire
that the children should take for granted
they have a free rein, yet due parental
correction should be given and he will
not send any child to the reform school
until conclusive proof is given that it is
incorrigible.
j. Wesley. the twenty three year-old
son of Dawson Herbert, of Englishtown,

to epileptic fits, went to the open well
near the house to get drink. He sat
down on the well curb, and it is supposed
there had fit. He fell backward into
the well, his head striking the bricks in
his descent, and he was drowned in five

Cave nwellera In pieppe.

People who only know the gayer side
of Dieppe would be surprised to hear
Of the existence of the cave jewellers
there One is apt to connect such peo-
pie with the knawed bones and flint
implements of prehistoric times. But
here they are at Dieppe within a stones
throw of the casino, and they may be
seen any day about the town selling
the sheilf1sh from the rocks outside
their habitAtions. They have certain
marked characteristics, one being pc
culiar complexion Of their own that
can be traced largely to disinclina-
ton on the part of the cave dweller to
avail himself of the water that washes
30 close to his door. Their language
also is peculiar, but whether it really
belongs to the stone age no one seems
to have discovered. They have to hold
a license from the municipality, though,
which savors of no age but the present.

Keith,s Continuous variety.

Among the specialists to take part in this
weeks entertainment at Keith's are to be
no less than ~ comedians, auguring per-
haps the funniest performance of the year
While comedy has been paramount
throughout the summer season, show
headed by Mcintyre and Heath will no
doubt convulse the most hardened frequen-
ter of vaudeville. For quarter of GER
fury, barking back to the days when
vaudeville was called variety, Mcintyre
and Heath have maintained their place as
the champion fun team. Few of the leg
itimate stars have equaled them in pop
ularity; few other teams have lasted so
long in this branch of theatrical amuse-
ment So there will again be 40 minutes
Of show in which laughter will be con-
tinuous and above every fifth minute the
house will be convulsed by the interpre-
tation of 1.-The Man from Montana"
Others whose acts are said to be highly
amusing include LIE Mar and Gabriel, who
recently scored a hit here; Swift and
Huber, music and comedy; the Yankee
Comedy -Four, said to be the ablest quar-
tette of singing comedians; Barr and Evans,
| George T.. AuStln, MARSH anu odI lelld,
and West and Williams. The Malatzoff
troupe of European dancers, which will
make its local debut tomorrow afternoon,
is said to present one of the most novel
acts of its kind on any stage. The Three
Livingstons will be seen in an acrobatic
act that is declared to be startling; the
three beautiful Bastedo Sisters, than
whom the vaudeville stage possesses few
more attractive young women, will pre-
sent their songs and dances, and the
biograph will show Emperor William
leaving Berlin armory; Boulter's Lock.

Chocolate

In South America the retail price for
the better grades of chocolate averages
about 81 a pound, while in Italy,
France England and in the United
States the better grades sell at much
lower price. In America the ordinary
chocolate of trade sells for about one
third of the price that is charged for 1t
where 1t is produced. The cause Of
this, the producers say. is that the
original product is adulterated greatly
before reaching its final market, a
cheaper article than the cocoa bean
constituting the large proportion Of 90
per cent of the chocolates of commerce.
The cocoa bean from which chocolate
is manufactured is produced in its fin
est form in Venezuela, though various
other parts Of Central and South Amer
lea grow and export large quantities.
Two crops Of the bean are gathered
each year, and the manufacture con-
sists simply In grinding up the beans
into meal and then adding sugar and
arrowroot, with the necessary favor,
usually vanilla or cinnamon. The mass
is moistened until 1t is in semifuid
state, after which it is run into molds
of the proper shape

On Friday there ended at Pittsfeld,
Mass, criminal trial that will go down
as one of the most noted on the court
records. Some time since a young girl
was murdered at her own home. The au-
thorities were told that the deed was COM
mitted by burglars, but there was chief
of police in the town who appeared to be
impressed with the idea he must make a
record, even though it be at the expense
of the reputation of some one, so he went
to work on the suspicion that there had
been family quarrel, and on this pre-
sumption brother of the dead girl was
arrested, charged with the horrible crime
of numbering his sister. At the trial the
efforts of the states attorney to sustain
the charges of the accuser were ludicrous
and at times painful, and when the testi-
monY was all in, the judge ordered the
jury to render verdict of acquittal,
which they did without leaving the box.
Fortunately very few persons sin the
neighborhood of this occurrence believed
the accused guilty, but even that does
not remove the stain that has been in
fiicted not only upon an innocent man but
upon an entire family. In addition to
this, the centreing of all efforts to prove
this man guilty has withdrawn search
from the real criminal and he has escaped
without much prospect of ever being ap-
pretended. This is only specimen of
the results of amateur detective work
Professionals in that line make mistakes
sometimes, but they are more likely to be
correct than the men who merely stumble
into the business and when they get hold
of a theory are unable to see. any other
clue, and.are too pigheaded to listen to
the advancement of any other idea.
