PASSED FORGED NOTES.
Arrest Of Woman May lead to the Cap.
ture Of a Gang.

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. I7.-Annie
Rogers, alias Maud Williams, aged 26,
is in the custody of the police here,
and General superintendent Taylor,
of the Pinkerton agency of Chicago,
who is in Nashville, believes her ar
rest will lead to the apprehension of
the gang which, July 3, held up a
Great Northern express train near
Wagner, Mont, securing over $40, 900
in bank notes. The woman came
under suspicion by her actions at the
Fourth National bank Monday after
noon, when she presented large roll
Of new bills of small denomination
asking for large bills in.return. Not
ing the bills closely, the teller be-
came suspicious and while she was
engaged in conversation, the police
were notified. When arrested the
woman refused to make any explana-
tion of where the $3.50 in her posses
sion came from. The bills were on
the Helena bank, and though signed
the serial numbers coincide with
those given in the Pinkerton circular
advertisement Of the robbery. A
warrant was sworn out against the
woma charging her with attempting
to pass forged bank notes. She de-
clines to tell Of herself further than
to assert that she was born in Texas
and that she arrived here Sunday
night, from where she will not say.

"the brothers of Habib Ullah Khan
left Cabul secretly with their par

Toulon, Oct. 17.-When count de
la Vaulx landed here today he said
that the weather was bad yesterday.
A hard east wind blew the balloon
toward the coast of Spain, and a
heavy rain also fell. The passengers
in the balloon eventually sighted the
st. Laurent light, near Port Vendres,
and fearing that the balloon would be
blown ashore, they decided to aban-
don the voyage, and therefore sig
nailed to the cruiser Du Chayla,
which was escorting the balloon, ask
ing to be taken on board, which was
done with only slight damage to the
balloon and no injury to the passen-
gers or scientific instruments. The

The petrihed forests of Arizona
we're recently examined anew under
the direction of the general land
Office. The silicified logs lie in the
greatest abundance within an area Of
eight square miles in Apache county.
In some places they lie more thickly
than they could have stood while
living as trees, and it is thought that
they must have been carried there by
swift current OF water in the mes
ozotic age.

Business Affairs.

Dun In his review of last week says:
Though there are some draw backs,
notably the labor troubles in the iron
and steel industry, business is of well
sustained volume, to which fact pay
ments through the country's clearing
houses, railroad earnings and the
strength of prices of staple and partly
manufactured merchandise offer ample
testimony. Bank clearings at New
\ ork for the week increase 1913 per cent
over the same week of last year, and 80
per cent over 1899; while at leading
cities outside New York the gain is % 6
per cent over 1900 and 25.l per cent over
1899. Railroad earnings increase for
August thus far lid per cent over 1900
and 22.6 per cent over 1890. Except in
certain branches of the textile markets,
sellers of merehandisehave an advantage
over buyers, and distribution is as large
as stocks will permit.
The Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Plate Workers succeeded
in enlisting the sympathy of other work
men, with the result that the output of
merchant bar and wire rods is curtaied
to the extent of about forty thousand
tons monthly. Beyond this detection,
wage earners in allied branches of the
steel industry have refused to break
their contracts. Prosperity during the
past year placed the strikers in position
TO rest awhile, but the numbers now
seeking reinstatement indicate that funds
are beginning to run low. Many idle
mills resumed during the past week, and
even in the tin plate region there is a
moderate output. Plates have begun to
arrive from abroad, and prices in the
London market sharply advanced Hoop
and sheet mills increase production daily
and there is no loss In the rail division,
but some anxiety is felt regarding sup
plies OF cotton ties AS the picking season
has begun in many states. Decreased
consumption tends to weaken pig iron,
and tin is similarly affected.

The SChley Case,

The Schley-Sampson controversy is no
credit to the U. S. Navy. The glory of
the achievement of our fleet before San.
tiago is dimmed by the captious proceed
ings of naval officials since and by the
partizan of the two chief actors in the
controversy. Nor will the court of in-
quiry help the matter, materially. u. S.
Senator Depew has recently returned
from Europe and in an interview discuss
ed this affair from an English standpoint,
saying:
"a great deal of interest is taken in
the Schley-Sampson controversy. The
fact that Schley's daughter is married to
Mr.. Stuart Worthley, an Englshman, is
the reason that those in England are in
terested in the controversy, and it is ow-
ing to Admiral Schley's English counec-
tons that there is a favorable feeling for
him over there. The controversy itself
is not doing us any good; it is arous-
ing contempt and derision towards the
American navy and the less said about it
the better

Wholesale Murder.

Recent advices are to the effect that
twelve Armenian villages have been
raided by horde of the sultan's soldiery
known as Kurds. and that where these
villages stood are now only new heaps
of smoking ruins. The males OF the
population have been massaered and the
young women of the community carried
away as loot. The Sultan of Turkey is
a disgrace to European government that
has no moral right to exist in the
twentieth century. He usurped his
brothers throne and thus far during his
reign has visited massacre upon his
Christian dependencies, each in turn and
has done little but infliet injury upon his
country. He nearly annihilated the Ar
menian population few years ago and
now appears to have begun a new series
of atrocities upon this unfortunate
people.
The Sultan is represented to live in
abiect terror, afraid of the least noise,
fearful of enemies and distrustful OF
subjects, requiring that food prepared
for him shall first be partaken of by a
dog or a cat in order to prove that il
contains no poison. He is an inhuman
monster who has forfeited all right to
exercise the prerogatives of ruler and
the powers ought to suppress him.

Compulsory Arbitration.

The theory OF compulsory arbitration
Is receiving much attention various
places. The province Of Nova Scotia
has law known as ''the miners arbitrs
ton act," among the provisions Of which
are the following:
The employer, on receiving notice that
an arbitration has been granted, may
withhold the wages of the employed or
division 10 whom arbitration has been
granted, for the II days preceding the
appointment OF the last of such arbitrs-
tors, and shall pay into some chartered
bank in this province 10 the credit of the
commissioner sum of money equal To
double the amount of such wages.
|. II the board decides against the eU-
ployer, ne shall be bound thereby, and If
he does not submit at once to the award
the sum paid into the chartered bank to
the credit of the commissioner shall be
forfeited by the employer, and shall after
first deductiug the costs of the arbtra-
ton, be paid to the agent of the employ
ed or division for the use and benefit of
the employed or division in proportion to
their respective rates OF wages.
II the board decides against the EN-
ployed or against the division, and the
employed, or any division to whom ar
bitration has been granted, does not at
once submit to the award, the amount OF
wages of the employed or division paid
into the chartered bank shall be forfeited
By the employed or by the division, and
shall be paid to the agent of the employ
er for his use and benefit by the commits.
sioner after first deducting the cost of
the arbitration.
In reviewing this law, the Boston
Transcript makes the following suggest
tions:
A compulsory arbitration law need
not go to the extreme of actually requir-
ing person to give or to take work
under the conditions prescribed by the
board. The plans could not be made
practically effective by compelling the
two parties to every dispute to submit
their differences to arbitration and then
comply with the decision of the court, if
they desired to continue in the relation
of employer and employed. That is, the
| law could provide that, if business were
to be carried on at all, ii should be con
Quoted according to the ruling Of the
board, but could leave the employer free
to close his establishment and the labor
er free to leave his job, If either were not
willing to accept the decision. This III
direct compulsion would not force any
man to give employment or take employ
ment against his will At the same time
it appears to be sufficient to secure gen
eral enforcement of the decisions of a
board of arbitration.

The strike had lasted month and col

The Sins of Nutrition.

To overload the stomach with food is
not less unhealthy than to delnge il with
beverages; the more nutritious the food,
the more hazardous are the consequences
when excess is hibtua. OF all the sins
OF nutrition, the immoderate use of meat
is certainly the most grievous Il gives
to the body in form that is favorable for
easy assimilation the abumen that is
absolutely necessary to life, and hence the
earliest effect OF its excessive use must be
to surcharge the body with nutrients.
The chief point here is the critical exam
ination of what is called hunger Many
persons believe that any and every sensa-
ton of hunger must be satisfied immedi,
ately, but this is great mistake An
equally great. if not worse, mistake is the
opinion that one must eat until a sense OF
