TO BE PRINCE OF WALES.
Expected the Duke of York Will Re
ceive Title Shortly.

: NEW YORK, Nov. 1-Commenting upon
the arrangements in connection with the
arrival of the Duke and Duchess of Corn
wall and York, the London correspondent
of the Tribune says:
The arrival of the Ophir and the de-
parture of the king and queen for Ports
mouth was the opening scenes Of an inn
perial function designed as stately
tribute of respect to the colonies. Royal
ty has rendered important services to the
empire in creating enthusiasm for the
crown and in emphasizing the unity of
interest wherever the flag floats. The
loyalty of the colonies demonstrated in
Australia, South Africa and Canada by
their unexampled reception and have i'm
posed an obligation on the mother coun-
try to welcome him on his return with
unique honors. The king and queen will
lead the way and meet the Ophir and the
channel fleet with five battleships, and
eight cruisers will guard the anchorage of
their ship and the royal yacht at Ports
mouth and provide, by Nominations, a
splendid spectacle The army and the
London holiday crowds will unite in the
welcome Saturday. But to the colonies
will be accorded the distinction of en-
phasizing the imperial nature of the
function Their official representatives,
headed by J. G.. Colger, as Lord Strath-
conas deputy for Canada, will be at Vic
congratulation and welcome and receive
reply. They will be introduced by Mr.
Chamberlain to the Duke and Duchess of
Cornwall. The colonies will place, in
this way, their final seal upon the i'm
perial mission, and the king will not de-
lay many days the investiture upon his
son of the title prince of Wales.

School, Militia and Voting Age.
WASHINGTON, sNoyS ]. = The census
report on school, militia and voting ages.
for all states and territories shows the
following summary for the country as
whole: Persons of school age, five to
twenty years, 26,110,7S 1885, of whom "a, S97, $50
are native born, %, 1921 are white, and
13,0S6160 are males; males of militia age,
l6,3603 1868, of whom 13132,2S0 are native
born, and Ia, 495, 500 are white; and males
of voting age, q, 329, S19. of whom 1922, 2S5
are native born, and 1906 43 are white.
Of the total number of males twenty
enc years of age and over, 2,326, 255 are
illiterate. Of the 16,227.2S5 native born
males, twenty-one years of age and
over, 1,706,293 are illiterate, and of the
S, ,534 foreign born ,002 are illiterate.
Native white males of voting age who
are of foreign parentage show relative
increase in their proportion since 1890,
while the colored males of voting age
have increased throughout the northern
and western sections, with a few excep-
tons, like California, where there has
been large decrease in Chinese popula-
ton. In many Southern states espe-
cially Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina and Louisiana, the colored ele-
ment of voting age shows a decreased
proportion. Foreign white males of vot.
ing age show an increased proportion in
all New England except Vermont There
has been relative decrease in all of the
remaining states and territories except
New Jersey. A little over % per cent of
the entire alien population of the country
is illiterate. This is notably so in Louis-
ana, where they constitute nearly one
half of the aliens. The statistics show
that the average number of persons to
each potential voter range from 81 to 3.5
IN the North Atlantic states; ga to 36
in the North Central states; 4 to IA per-
sons to each potential voter in the South
Central states; from 3.3 to At in the
South Atlantic states; from "a to Al in
the Western states, and Ii to 1.9 in

where you Ghe agents. think it advis-
able to follow the wishes of the parents,
that is left entirely to your own good
Judgment
The abrogation Of the ruling already
has caused numerous inquiries of the in
terror department. The bureau of Cath
olic missions has been fighting for the
abrogation ever since the ruling was
made, and last July called attention of
the department to its non-action; and to
the. fact that Secretary Hitchcock. when
on the Pacific coast trip of the president
and cabinet last summer, had telegraph
ed Assistant Secretary Ryan to give
Archbishop Ireland assurances that the
ruling would be rescinded and that Mr.
Ryan wired the archbishop accordingly.
Commissioner of Indian Affairs Jones
has strenuously opposed the abrogation
but finally, after a full discussion with
Secretary Hitchcock, agreed to abrogate
it tentatively, with the distinct under
standing that it could be re-established
if found to be in the Indians best in
terests and if the action was in accord
ance with the wishes and directions of
the secretary.

PICKETT IS IN ICTED
WE'LL KNOWN NJ. AEo<T TOWN
MUST STAND TRIAL FOR
40 MURDER
CHARGED WITH KILLING WEE
Was Supposedly Burned to Death
but Evidence Is Said to show
She WAS StrangIed
First.

Reuben c. Pickett, a well known man
about town, has been indicted on the
charge Of murder in the first degree and
is now held at the county Jail to await
trial.
Pickett is charged with having muir
dered his wife on the early morning of
Sept. %, 1900, at their fiat, S18 Eighth
avenue south. At the time Mrs. Pickett
was supposed to have gone into the bath
room and while there the lamp exploded
setting fire to her clothing, and before
she could be reached was so badly burned
and suffocated that she died.
1t is rumored that Pickett choked his
wife to death and to avoid suspicion set
fire to her clothing to cover up his crime.
He then ran to the nearest fire box and
turned in an alarm When the fremen
arrived on the scene they found the bath
room door locked and the key missing.
Suspicion rested upon him at the TIME,
but not enough evidence could be pro-
duced to warrant an Indictment Later
developments have brought out further
facts and it is claimed that the state
has a pretty strong case against Lsn.
Mr.. Pickett has since been married to
Helen E. Slater.

THE WISDOM OF THE sERpENr.

Whenever the dog days roll around
always think of snake story | heard
In Arkansas some years ago., said a man
Who lives in this city now, land while
Will not youch for the accuracy of the
tale, it has become a part of the his
tory of the county in which it was said
to have happened Lee is the name OF
the county, and the story developed about
the time the county came into existence,
about the time it was carved out of secs
lions of st. Francis and Phillips coun-
ties Crowley's Ridge, a chain of hills
which break off at the foot of the Ozarks
and slope down windingly through Ar
kansas until they touch the Mississippi
river at Old Town, some distance below
Helena, runs through these counties
This chain of hills passes through the
center of Lee county following the line
of the st. Francis river. On top of this
ridge, at very high point, midway be-
tween Helena, in ST. Francis county, and
Mariana, the county seat of Lee coun-
ty, there is a very large pond, and 1t
never went dry but once in it's history.
But during very dry spell in 1880 the
water in this pond disappeared. Farmers
for miles around had watered their stock
there when other places failed. 1t was
nearer to some of them than the river.
When it went dry they We're forced to
go to the river.
''The pond was erfact : coca for the
snakes in the hills. and in the summer
. evenings it would become a seething
mass of snakes; dry land moccasns,
copper bellies, adders and rattlers would
gather around the pond, swim across it,
wallow in it, dive in it and cool them
selves off. When the water gave out
they were in a dilemma What / have
said l vouch for, but now cometh the
point of this yarn. 1t was in the dog
days when the water gave out. The
snakes were shedding, end their casteff
coverings could be found scattered all
through the hills. They hit upon a
plan.
Down in a deep hollow on one side Of
the ridge they found concealed spring.
No living man knew it was there. They
wanted to get water from this spring to
fill the pond, which had gone dry. They
constructed a hose, which ran from the
spring to the pond at the top of the hill
in this wise: They stretched out In an
unbroken line from the spring to the
pond. and the hindmost snake let his
tail drop over into the spring; then they
swallowed each others tails and began
to crawl slowly through the chain of
sheddings to the top of the hill, and the
water followed them up the hill through
the improvised hose and trickled out into
the pond, and so there you are. It's not
my story. I'm only telling it, that's ALL

Identity of Man Drowned in Mill

Race-BOdy Not Found.
The man who jumped off the stone arch
bridge Thursday afternoon into the tail
race CT the canal back of the Galaxy
mill was William A Steward, who resided
with his parents at 3400 Blaisdell avenue
The young man was bookkeeper for
Jones, Mcintyre & Co, and no cause for
the suicide is known. His books are all
in good shape, and his parents are at a
loss to know why he should have taken
his life.
Mr. Steward was at his work as usual
in the morning and shortly before noon
he started for the bank to make a de-
post for his firm. He must have gone
directly from the bank to the river, as
the bank book was found in one of the
mail boxes near the place of the suicide.
The book was taken up by the postman
and yesterday morning returned to Jones
& Mcintyre His fedora hat was also
found on the bank of the river which
furnished a clue for Identification.
The body has ont yet been recovered
although search has been continuous
since the drowning. His parents are al
most broken hearted.
Young Steward has many friends in the
city, and all speak of him in the highest
terms, as having been a steady boy with
the best of habits. The firm for which
he worked have nothing but good to say
of him.

MEGAARDEN,s LITTLE GAME.
Puts in a Bill of ever $500, where
So Would Have Sufficed.

Sheriff Megaarden is nothing if not
thrifty. Some time ago he was given a
tax warrant to levy on the property of
the Northwestern National bank. He re-
turned the warrant reporting that, he
could find nothing upon which to levy,
although the bank is one of the strong
est in the city and it's stockholders men
of wealth.
Next he received a citation running to
the stockholders of the bank. To have
served one copy on some official of the
bank would have been sufficient. In
stead of this he served the citation on all
the stockholders and then sent in bill
to the county of $3e5.30, when all he
should have demanded was 81.
The county will endeavor to collect the
oyercharge, and. it is assumed that the
stockholders will apply for the over
charges.
