THE DOCTRINE OF PANCAKES
As It is Expounded at the Temple of
 MT. Chalmers.

Mir. l.. H. Chalmers is a very diligent pancakes, a most singular one. When Mir. Chalmers is not engaged in strengthening out legal intrcacies he is ruminating on pancakes. His life is divided between the practice of law and his religion, whose simple creed is pancakes. He is a unitarian if the pam cake is sufficiently broad and thick. If of slightly smaller dimensions he is dualist. and if the pancakes are sill smaller he is devout and set believer in the trinity. His godhead is deter mined entirely by the size of the pan cakes. If he had to live at hotel he would have as many gods as the Athenians.
 This story has to do wholly with the religious side of Mir. Chalmers life. The legal side has been alluded to only for the purpose of Identification, for beyond the innermost circle of his friends his peculiar religious belief. his sublime faith in pancakes, is unknown.
 Not long ago Mir. Chalmers employed a cook after submitting her to long cataehetical examination on the origin and rise of the pancake. She disclosed a remarkable familiarity with the sub 5ect and was duly ordained as the prtestess of pancakes in the Chalmers temple The rites were celebrated thrice daily and MT. Chalmers came forth after each one stronger and began to preach the doctrine of pancakes to his friends, among whom the willingest listener was Mir. c. J. Hall.
 Not long ago an aunt and two cousins of Mir. Chalmers came here from Ohio to pass the rest of the winer. Mir. Chalmers at once sought to convert them to the beautiful doctrine of pan cakes. He dwelt upon the learning and piety of his cook and her extra ordinary eloquence on the theme of pancakes. He implored them to visit his house and attend divine services. It was true that they were held regu- larly only three times a day, but special services would be arranged at any hour of the day or night for the conversion of barbarians who in blind belief still clung to the fatal errors of hot biscuit, salt rising, yeast, potato rising or unleavened bread.
 Mr. Chalmers relatives were im- pressed by his earnestness and yester- day morning at late hour repaired to

HABITS OF YOUNG PEOPLE
Result of Research by Fourth Ave
 nue Tax Payer.

A taxpayer on North Fourth avenue has lately become convinced that there is no other animal whose habits afford such a fruitful field for study as those of young people do. He wonders now why they should not constitute a spec ial department of natural history. He has just found out a simple pecularity after weeks of hard and painful study
 Why. he thinks, should learned men try so hard to find out all about insects and reptiles and animals of prehistoric

daughter hanging on his arm, he saw some distance ahead his neighbours daughter with a young man on each arm. They stopped in front of the small frame house. One young man leaned against one gate post and one against the other. The girl stood in the gateway, laughing and chatting with both, and altogether 1t made a pretty picture. The taxpayer walked on thoughtful. For the first time he was struck by the poverty of his own luxurious home. He had no fence, no gate, no gate posts. Here was the se- cret of his daughter i-i.ure as Il social favorite.
 He went to bed struggling with the fence question. Without a fence his daughter would almost certainly die an old maid. but a fence would mar the effect of the well-kept and graded lawn. Before morning he reached a compromise. The next day he selected a place where he would want q gate if he had a fence. He had two post holes dug and filled with the most or lumber yard.
 Those posts matured and bore fruit early and abundantly. That evening when the taxpayer went home to din- ner he found each bearing a young man, his daughter standing between them, wearing an air of great con tentment and a bewitching gown.
 The vertebrae of a young man in the first stage of ovemaking is weak and he must have something to lean upon. There is nothing better than gate post.

PLEADS FOR STATEHOOD.
ArfzOna's Prosperity Described in
Gov. Murphy's Report.

Governor N. o. Murphy of Arizona, in
his annual report to the Secretary Of the
Interior, makes an earnest appeal for leg
islation that will enable his territory to be
admitted to statehood. He says that never
before were the people of the territory SO
generally aroused on the subject. Arizona
has been very prosperous during the past
fiscal year, rains having made agriculture
horticulture and grazing especially profit
able, while mining, manufacturing and every
material industry have progressed IN a Ie-
markable degree. The wealth of the territory
is rapidly growing, and the assessed valua-
tion of property has increased nearly So
600 600 since the last annual report. The
population has also increased at the rate
of 1O4 per cent, and it is upon these state
ments that Governor Murphy thinks that
Arizona should be recognized a state.
The governor advocates the sale and set
tlement of the large Indian reservati ons
within the territory, with the possible ex-
ception of the Navajo reservation in north
eastern Arizona, and the government cCn-
struction of reservoirs for water storage
for irrigation in suitable localities with
canals leading to lands allotted the Indians
The governor says the latter action, in
which Indian labor could be largely util-
lied, would help to make farmers of the
Indians, and that further maintenance of
the tribal relations as now conducted and
the retention of reservation agencies
around which the Indians cluster and live
in idIeness on government rations most
seriously retard the civilization of the
Indians.
A number of localities in the territory
are dissatisfied with the census returns,
and the governor alleges that the greatest
injustice was done to Phoenix. the capital,
in fixing it's population at 5,544 only Its
registration for the city election last May,
he claims, indicated a population this year
of at least 10000. He attributed the dis
crepancy in figures to enumeration In the
summer. when the people were at summer
md 70 ora1o Of
ators. He says from the school census ard
other reliable sources the population of the
territory is now at least 135, 600 against the
census returns Of 122,212. Within the last
decade 545 miles of canal have been con-
structed at cost of 81 sos 469 and trri-
gated land has increased 119.575 acres

That Government Held ResDonsibI,
for Miss StOne,s Safety

That Government Held Removable
for Miss stones Safety.
A dispatch from Sofia, Bulgaria, yester-
day, says: Information has been received
here from DoubnitZa that the band Of
brigands holding captive Miss Ellen NJ
Stone, the American missionary, called
about fortnight ago at the village of
Smetchevo and subsequently proceeded to
the monastery of Rilo, but the movements
of the troops compelled the brigands to flee
toward the frontier, where they are now in
hiding.
1t Is also asserted that the brigands have
recently been treating Miss Stone with
more severity in order to exercise pressure
and to compel more ready acceptance of
their conditions.
Consul General Dickinson is inf1exible.
He insists that the surrender Of Miss Stone
must precede or be simultaneous with the
payment Of the ransom. His attitude is
justified by the known determination of
some members of the band, particularly the
captain, Yanne Sandansky, to kill Miss
Stone and her companions as soon as the
ransom Is received owing to the fact that
the captives have now ACQUIRED information
concerning the secret committees. Compe-
tent persons, however, express the opinion
that the cupidity of the brigands will over
come their fear Of revelations. and all such
dppIOVS Tie uccldfdtlOu Oh MT. DICKINSON.
Yesterday Mr.. Dickinson made energetic
representations to the Bulgarian govern
ment against the movements Of the Bull
garian troops, reproaching the officials with
the fact that, notwithstanding their SOL
emn promises to give him all assistance in
their power, their action was embarrassing
the negotiations, retardfng a settlement
and placing in jeopardy the lie of Miss
Stone. He made definite declaration that
the Bulgarian government would be held
responsible for the death of Miss Stone and
of all the consequences of her death, should
1t be proved that the attitude of the Bull
garian government forced the brigands to
kill their captiyes.

TO BE HEARD DECEMBER 2
Argument I'm the Habeas Corpus Pro-
ccedings of the Gaynors.

The brief of the Department of Justice in
the habeas corpus proceeding of Benjamin
ID. Greene, John F. Gaynor, William It.
Gaynor and Edward II. Gaynor, accused of
conspiracy with Capt Oberlin NJ. Carter to
defraud the government, has been fled in
the United States Supreme Court, in which
tribunal the case is pending. The defend
ants Instituted the proceeding with the
hope Of avoiding being sent TO Georgia for
trial. They raised many points on which
it was alleged that the federal court Of
New York had erred. All these are dis
cussed at unusual length by the govern
ment brief, ''on account" the brief says,
'of their bearing upon the future progress
of this case, as well as the great public
Importance attached to the settlement OF
questions Of practice which by erroneous
application have very nearly subyerted
public justice in this case"
After the TECHNICAL discussion Of the
points at issue the brief concludes as fol-
lows:
THE defendants do not lose any substan-
tial right by a refusal of the court, by ha-
beas corpus, TO interfere before trial. The
same august tribunal, the Supreme Court
of the United States, Will be the final arbi-
ter on all questions, whether they go UP
from New York or Georgia The same public
policy which encourages freedom of inter-
course and interchange Of traffic and close
commercial relations between the states.
and gives the citizens of one state equal
rights In carrying on business and con-
tracts i'm another state. demands that perpe-
traitors Of frauds committed In state who
flee for refuge to other states should be
brought TO quick trial. In the case at bar
four of the governments witnesses have
died since the court-martial trial. Nearly
two years have already been consumed by
the defense In lighting removal by techni-
cal objections.
'The Supreme Court has said thai Con-
gress never intended by these acts to inter-
fere with the ordinary proceedings in the
courts in advance of final judgment, and
we submit that ii is the duty Of the courts
to so construe the law"
The brief is signed by Marion Erwin, as
special assistant of the Attorney General.
and Solicitor General John K Richards.
The United States Supreme Court today
advanced the case. on the docket and an
nounced that it would be heard on the I'd
of December next.
