Verbatim Questions and An- SWerS--TeStimOny in the Di- vOrCe Suit of David Nation
 Against Carrie Nation

Al was a widower.
 Q.-DiG either of you have any chil' dren?
 A.-Yes. I had three girls and one boy, while she had one girl.
 Q-How old are you. MT. Nationi
 Al am seventy-tnree. The defend- ant, my wife, is fifty-four.
 Q.-Was Mrs. Nation Irofess )r of re- Eglon N hen you married her?
 A.-Yes, she belonged to the Christian church, and so did l.
 Q.-State when the first serious trouble occurred.
 A.-WeI1, was pres ching at thc First Christian church in Medicine Lodge. When I was preaching she would get up in the midst of my sermons and speak out, saying: "Its not so," and she would quote passages of Scripture.
 Q.-What further trouble?
 Al spoke to her and told her to keep quiet She did and then organized 3 Sunday school class which met in the court house. It was composed of chill dren from all over town. They would march over town and sing. Things be- came so objectionable in the Lodge that had to quit my charge.
 Q.-What next did she do to affect you?
 An 1892 she left me and went to Texas and was there about a month
 Q.-What was your condition at that time?
 Al was the sickest I ever was in my life. I could not take care of myself.
 Q.-Mrs. Nation left you when you were sickest?
 Al begged her not to go but she would go away.
 Q.-During all these years from 1895 till now, how has the defendant treated you?
 A-When she was at home it was continual jaw, jaw, jaw. She had a dis position to boss me in everything. She took some of the furniture and traded 1t for young horse that was badly crip- pied, She doctored 1t up and traded it foraanother horse, which she claimed as her own. l fed and cared for the animal. however, and the furniture she traded for it was mine, too. Then another time I had $500 in the bank, and she checked 1t out and bought property here She signed the checks David Nation, by Car rie Nation. I was in the territory when she did all this. Q-What' else has she done? A.-Well it would be hard to say all that she has done. She has called me a hypocrite, and-oh couldn't say what all. Sne would call me these names in the presence of visitors and say she had to make the living Now, MT. Nation" interrupted Judge Gillett, "I might not call bad what you would call bad, so tell me just what she said you were.''
 "She called me a hell-hound.' replied MT. Nation, "and hypocrite, a pauper and a villain-that last being the com mon name she had for me"

How Safe Blowers. Operate;

shrewdest professional burglars in this country are former akers of safes, who know every combination and trick of the trade, are skilled in the use of the most modern tools, and have thorough knowl- edge of the weak point of every safe on the market And for many years safe breaking was carried on with great suc- cess. The time lock and the combination lock put a stop to a good deal of this activity, and then an arrangement was made whereby, even if the hinges were sawed off, the door still remained locked.
 It almost seemed as if the burglars had finally been foiled at every point, when nitro-glycerine male its appear ance.
 Burglars were quick to see that this powerful liquid, which is still the active principle of gun-cotton and dynamite, put nearly all the safes on the market at their mercy. But 1t requires the highest mechanical skill and a great deal of ex- perience and knowledge to use nitro- glycerine upon a safe successfully.
 Very few people are aware, however, how simple are the implements needed by the modern burglar in opening a safe with nitro-glycerine and just how he proceeds to business. His outfit consists of a few pounds of putty, sufficient quantity of nitro-glycerine, hammer and perhaps a couple of thin wedges. With these and fuse and matches, he Is ready to me

gotiate' the so-called burglar-p proof safe, and the degree of his success depends al- most wholly upon himself.
 A very short time is needed in which to '-blow the safe. The first thing done is to make careful inspection of the upper door jamb of the safe. No matter how tight-itting and carefully adjusted the door of a safe may be. it is claimed that it is impossible to make 1t so that a wedge hardly any thicker than razor edge will not find entrance. A few taps with hammer drive in the thin end of the wedge, making an opening which may not be any bigger than a thin sheet of paper The wedge is driven in further. thicker wedge is inserted. and this Is followed, perhaps. by a still thicker one, each wedge only receiving a few dull blows. until finally the opening between the door and the wall of the safe is per- haps a. sixteenth of an inch wide. Leav- ing the last wedge in place, the burglar now turns to his lump of putty and goes to work on the bottom of the safe door.
 The minute crack here where the door and the safe meet is carefully puttied up along its whole length and the line of putty is continued up for about foot on each end along the sides of the door. The burglar with his putty next made a. .'cup" at the top of the door, directly facing the opening made by the wedge. when the cup is finished he fills it up with nitro- glycerine. This slowly per- colates in through the thin opening made by the wedge, and as soon as the cup has emptied itself it is filled again. Now, what happens?
 The nitro-glycerine does not simply dis appear in the safe among the books and drawers. 1t slides down the top of the

The Pope is Not a Rich Man

Just how rich the Pope is seems to be one of the many things no one is able to find out, says the New York Press Ever since the Pope lost his temporal power in 1870 the financial affairs of the Holy See have been the subject of a large and ungratified curiosity. Many outsiders have grappled with the proposition, but none of them successfully. The Pope per- sonally Is not rich at all, but his official income and expenditures are large. There are no estimates discussed in council at the Vatican, and no annual statements of the condition of the papal treasury are made. The Pope Is his own treasury de- partment, and money matters are settled by him with his accountants under a triple seal of secrecy.
 The financial affairs of the Pope being one of those things not particularly the business of outsiders, many outsiders have taken an. absorbing interest Tn them' and the volu ateer experts have been able to account for a papel expenditure or $1, ,0OO a year, They also can account for an income of $1,000,0OO year. The puzzle is to find the missing half mil lion dollars. This. work as they will  It comes from somewhere-but where? When Rome became the capital of Italy the new government did not interfere with the benehces of the secular clergy, and though friars and monasteries were suppressed, their inmates were provided for by special government fund. Since then other congregations have cropped up under foreign auspices to such an extent that the religious orders of Rome, includ- ing the wealthy Jesuits, are said to own property to the extent of $6O,000000. So the lower clergy of Italy, far from being drain on the papal treasury. help ma terially to it's replenishm ent The majori- ty of the cardinals are archbishops and draw their revenues from their seas. Only about twenty-five live In Rome as associates with the Pope in the govern ment of the church and draw salaries from the papal exchequer. These "Curia Cardinals" each receive salary of s5OOO a year. which cannot be considered large for such an exalted office and considering tho state which they are expected to maintain.

During the past few days there has been a good deal of quiet talk among the safe men of New York about the extraordinary occurrences in the office of a manufacturing concern of Lynn, says the New York Times.
 The firm owned burglar-proof safe. Burglars had nearly succeeded in their breaking into 1t when they were fright aned away, and had to leave their task unfinished. When the office force came in the morning and discovered what had happaned they did not know what to do with the unexploded nitro-glycerine lharge which the burglars had left in the ,sfe door. The fact that the explosive .roes off in temperatures under 40 and over 90 degrees led the firm to place thermometers about the office and to mad all the doors so as to prevent sud- den jar.
 Then a safe expert was called in. He cautiously looked over the ground, and refused to touch the safe on account or the tro-glycerine in it. Such a thing ss this had never occurred before in the history of the safe business in America for usually when a burglar tackles vnfe he either quits before inserting the explosive or else blows off the door, and @ finishes the job.
 It. is . known fact that some of the

ereignty over his lost Italian States and maintains at foreign courts nuncios and legates whose duties in countries where the State church is the Catholic Church are not confined entirely to ecclesiasti- cal affairs. These ambassadors of the Holy See are of course paid out of the excheQuer of the Vatican. Then the Pope has a numerous household of prelates and chamberlains. a small army or ser wants and miniature army of guards which parades on State occasions and furnishes guards for the great palaces of the Vatican and Lateran. The cham berlains and the officers of the guard receive only nominal salaries, but the common soldiers, the court prelates and the great staff of subordinates employees cost ready money and 1t is stated that the entire cost of the Pope's diplomatic service and of his court amounts to the sum named-s1, 50o00o.
 It is fairly easy to get at the papal expenditures, but when 1t comes to the question of papal income we are In the dark at once and have to grope around, finding. pieces of information here and there and trying to arrive at a reason able whole by putting them together
 When Plus K was deprived of his temporal sovereignty the ltalian govern ment voted him an annual subsidy or ss45, GOO. But the Pope indignantly re- fused to accept money from those who had seized the patrimony of Peter" and neither he nor his successor ever have touched lire of the subsidy. the arrears of which now amount to about s19. 900. 900. At the time Pope Plus TX. re- fused this subsidy he was known to have investments in the foreign funds amount ing to s5,0O0.O0O This amount has been increased since and is now believed to yield an annual income of not less than s25O, ,0OO The revival of Peters pence yielded in the first years of the papal seclusion a large amount, but Aew Is be- lieved to yield only about saoo.0oo year. Jubilees, beatifcations of saints. pilgrim ages and other religious gatherings in Rome, at all of which offerings are made to the Holy See yield in ordinary years some s2O,O0O. The great papal jubilee is known to have brought in round numbers $500, 900 to the papal coffers, but that was an extraordinary occasion; usually the annual revenue from religious gatherings, etc. is only, one-fourth of that.
 Another source of revenue is in the

ried away his album, books, photographs and a feather bed which was an heir loom in the family. He said that he begged of her to let the feather bed remain, as it was the only kind he could sleep well upon. She paid no heed to his pleadings. Q.-Where has Mrs. Nation been during | the last few months? Al do not know. except what read | in the rress. Q.-And when did you quit following her around?
 A.-Since about April 1.
 Q.-Have you kept track of her since then?
 A.-Only through the papers. have noticed great deal in the papers about her. I saw a picture of her in a bathing suit, ano it made me cry.
 Mrs. Nations record as a saloon smash CT was then brought out intending to show the court and make a part of the proceedings the number of times she had been In jail-fve-and that she was notorious law-breaker. Q.-Mr. Nation, will you describe to the court how the actions of your wife have l affect ed you2
 A-well, I felt awful. could only go into my room and pray God to let me die before I was subjected to any more humiliation. I ever tried to end my own life. but I had not the courage. as 1t Is called | crime ln the B1Dl3, ana WlSh 10 die religious man.
 Mrs Nations attorney, C. W Ellis, then cross examined MT. Nation as fol lows:
 Q.-Is your grief based upon your hu- initiation and the notoriety, or upon the love for your wife? l. A.-Both.
 Q.-Do you still love her?
 A.-Not as I used to.
 Q.-What mal lriage settlement did you make upon Mrs. Nation when you were married?
 A-On that day, without consulting her. I drew up an ante-1 rptial contract giv- Ing her property worth $24O0. I then traded 1t for a farm, sold the farm and gave her the money. She put it in the bank in my name and have always re- garded it as mine-at least until she drew 1t out and spent it. x Q-Isn't 1t a fact, MT. Nation, that whenever your wife wanted money you were always out of cash?
 A.--No it Is not true.
 els it not true that when you went to Texas you and her had but 8 and a barrel of foul, and that through her industry she built up a business worth $100O0? Have you not bragged about this to your friends?
 The attorneys for MT. Nation objected to this question, but Mir. Nation insisted that he accredited his wife with no such thrift for money-getting. Q.-Did you ever give your wife an un- kind word?
 A-Yes, I have, but not frequently. Q.-Hasn't Mrs Nation always been a good wife to you?
 A.-At times, yes; at other times, no.
 Q.-Did she not always get up and build the fires?
 A.-No, she has not. I always did so when I was not sick in bed.
 MT. Nation then denied repeated ques- ton intended to show that his wife had cared for the stock, set out fruit trees worked in the garden and contributed partially to his support. He said he paid $1S0 for her to study osteopathy. but never had any of it returned to him. The money she earned was given to the poor.
 Q.-Did you clip articles about your wife from the newspapers? A-Yes; sent all the good ones to her

CORNER IN HEMLocK.
Lumber Kings Working on Deal That
 May Cost $2o,ooo, 900.

 Altoona (Penn) correspondence Phiiadel-
 phia Record.
 Interests closely identified with those of John A Dubois, the Pennsylvania Ium- Der king. are back of a project having for its aim the cornering of the hemlock market Twenty millions of dollars are said to be at the disposal of the com bination. and persons familiar with the situation say that sum win be required to bring about the elimination of the plan.
 MT. Dubois has sent representatives to half a dozen states, and their work has been performed so quietly that it's nature and intent were not revealed until the corner had been practically effected. It is said the price win go to $40 per 1000 feet The transaction Is considered the most daring in the history of lumber business in Pennsylvania
 The deal had not progressed far until F. H. Goodyear & Co. of Buffalo, N. r., and several other lumber princes" were glad to become identified with it. They were let in and then the lines were sharply drawn.
 Options have been secured where possi- ble, when necessary purchases outright have been made. The Pittsburg, will transport. South Fork and northern fields were attacked simultaneously and they are described to be tight as a drum. To- day. in the Pittsburg district 1.2o0. 0O0O0c feet of hemlock is cornered; in Williams port 160, 00,000: in South Fork. 65,0O00o0. and in Vintondale, 20.000.O00. This repre- sents the output of year from districts tributary to these centers.
