A Scotch Celebration

In Scotland there is curious super
stidon to the effect that good or bad
fortune is brought to the house by the
character of the first caller on New
Years day. In the eighteenth cen.
tury this was supposed to take effect
after IL o'clock, and so devoted lovers
would station themselves outside OF
the doors OF the houses where their
sweethearts dwelt so that they could
enter at once upon the striking of the
hour. From midnight till morning
the streets Of Edinburgh were crowded
with young men, all making merry in
one way or another. Indeed, 1t is the
most important celebration of the
year to the Scotch.

king, queen, prince. princess, cardi-
nal, courtiers, ambassadors, ladies in
waiting-in all their gorgeous raj
ment. playing like children with the
toys.
Some were on their hands and
knees; others running around after
a mechanical rabbit. The cardinal
and the dowager queen were con-
vulsed over the antics of two wooden
monkeys having prize fight.
Where was the dignity and the art
now! Forgotten in the happiness of a
moment Of return to that nature
which makes the whole world kin to a
little child.

cealing a long box. Others of the
royal family were seen along the dark
passage carrying parcels to the prop
erty-room, from which they emerged
with smiling, eager faces.
As the curtain fen upon the final
tableau of the play, with the entire
court assembled, there was not the
rusual rush for the dressing rooms.
Everyone remained on the stage, and
the princess, taking the tiny prince by
the hand, explained that she had re-
ceived letter from Santa Claus to
say that he would visit the theater
that day.
Hardly was the explanation made
when on came Santa Claus, imperson-
ated by the property man, drawing in
a most wondrous Christmas tree, load
ed with gifts and candles and fairy
things.
The poor little actor for whom all
this Joy had been prepared by his
grown comrades was too stunned to
ton to Santa Claus and his assurance
to the little boy that all the tree was
his, the realization came slowly and
he gave faint little squeals of Joy az
the undreamed of toys were shown to
him.
oh, the wonderful wagons that went
half way across the stage when they
were wound up, and the funny ami
mails that jumped about all by them
selves.
The child's delight grew and caught
the whole company. What a sight It
would have been for the audience
leaving the theater could they have
seen on the other side of the curtain.
There was the entire court of Caron

DISCIPLINE TOO SEVERE
NINE DEsERTIoNs FROM PREsI.
DENTS YACHT.
Men Complain That the Executive
Officer Of the Ship, Lieutenant
Phelps, is overbearing-The
Commander Liked.

Oyster Bay, N. Y. July 31.-Serious
trouble has developed in the Maytiower,
the Presidents official yacht. During
the past few days nine assertions have
occurred among the crew. member
of the crew said today that not less than
seventy men on board the ship were
awaiting favorable opportunity, after
pay day, to take French leave" Of the
vessel.
Primarily the trouble seems to revolve
around the executive officer of the ship
Lieutenant w. W. Phelps, who, the men
assert, is overbearing and tyrrannlcal.
Ordinary privileges 1t is alleged. have
been curtailed seriously; the men are on
watch eight hours and of four and when
on watch are kept hustling all the time;
smoking is practically prohibited on
board ship and shore leave is difficult to
obtain.
The men are proud to be aboard the
Presidents official vessel but they declare
they cannot endure the racking discipline
forced upon them, not, they say, by
Lieutenant Commander Albert Gleaves in
command, but by Lieutenant Phelps.

Dougherty made a full report to Presi-
dent Mitchell by telephone. This afternoon
the miners advisory board of this vicinity
which includes the officers Of the several
local unions in this region held a secret
meeting at which plans were devised to
prevent any intended breaks in the ranks
Of the strikers. One of the things de-
cided upon was to hold frequent meet
ings of the strikers and have them adj
dressed by the various district leaders
There was a large mass meeting of
foreigners held here this afternoon in
which Lithuanians, Hungarians and
Poles took part. Half a dozen speeches
were made. General indignation was ex-
pressed by all of the speakers against
the bringing of the troops to Shenandoah.
The four policemen who were shot and
the strikers who were also hit by bull
lets last night will recover. Most OF the
wounded strikers claim they were merely
onlookers. Several of the wounded
strikers called at the miners hospital to-
day to have slight injuries dressed and
after the doctors got through with them
they were arrested and taken to the

CONFIRMED BY YOAKUM
ADMITS PURCHASE OF CHICAGO
AND EASTERN ILLINOIS.
Nothing Official Bearing on the
Meaning of the Purchase Has
Become Public-Lines
Touch at No Point.

New York. July s1.-President Yoakum.
of the st. Louis and San Francisco Rail-
road. has confirmed to his intimate
friends. says The Herald. the purchase
by his line of the Chicago and Eastern
Illinois.
ever. has been said as to the reason for
the acquisition of the property. The two
roads do not connect at any point and
according to practical railroad men sew
eral hundred miles of construction work
will have to be carried out before the big
Southwestern system will be able to reap
the advantages which the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois road can supply in the
way Of an entrance into Chicago.
When President Yoakum was seen at
the Waldorf he refused to discuss the
terms Of the purchase and would neither
confirm nor deny a report that the Illi-
nois Central had practically concluded
arrangements for the acquisition or the
lease Of this system. 81 am not ready to
talk yet" he said.
When question as to the reason of the
acquisition of the Chicago and Eastern
Illinois when his road is several hum
dred miles away from any point of con-
nection. he laughed and said: Strange
things happen. don't they?'
In well-informed banking circles the
intimation was quietly given, concludes
The Herald, that the Illinois Central eth
err will become the owner of the Frisco
as a result of the present deal or will
lease that property as counter move
against the aggressions of other interests
in the South.

London, July 31.-L.ord Rosebery presid-
ed at largely attended dinner of the LIB
eral League tonight, at which Herbert
H. Asquith. Sir Edward Grey, Sir Henry
II. Fowler, Richard B. Haldane and 9TH
err prominent Liberals were present
Lord Rosebery, in the course of a
lengthy speech, dilated upon the recent
bye election for member of the House
of Commons to represent North Leeds,
which resulted in the election of Roland
Barran, Liberal. Mr.. Barran sat at Lord
Rosebery's right.
The speaker characterized the North
Leeds verdict as having greater signifi-
canoe than any single election since the
late Mr.. Gladstone was first returned
from Midlothian. and as almost a vital
blow to the prestige of the government
Yet Lord Rosebery warned his hearers
that fifty such elsetions as that of North
Leeds might not turn out the party now
in power. 1t showed, however, that the
nation was beginning to look dispassion-
ately at the government record in domes-
tic legislation, and to Judge with cooler
temper than 1t could durin gthe South
African war.
The Liberal Party had suffered a long
period of sterility, said the speaker; it
had gone through the valley of the shad-
ow of death from want of concentration,
and 1t had been allowing itself to become
disassociated from the imperial aspira-
tons of the nation The party had suf-
fered, continued the speaker, by It's UNI
fortunate attitude in regard to the Irish
question, and until imperialist Liberal
principles prevailed within 1t there would
be necessity for the continued existence
Of the Liberal Leag1e.

In Porto Rico, the Governor reviewing
at some length the important features of
his administration. He became almost
enthusiastic over the prospects of the
island and its people. He told the Presi-
dent that the Porto Ricans, having
already improved their condition by the
alliance of the island with the United
States, were anxious to establish yet
closer relations, particularly in CONNER
cial matters. The trade of the island, he
thought, would bear careful cultivation
by American manufacturers and business
men, the result of which would be adj
vantageous to the people both Of the
United States an its island possession.

his interest in Porto Rico and expressed
great confidence in it's future as a most
desirable acquisition to this country.

James MadderilL who has charge of the

have learned that the southern earth
quakes were practically localized. This

T. l. Heaton of the University of Calls

cases a slight. displacement sometimes
produces fearful shock. The theory has
been advanced that removal of great
quantities of oil from the earth in SOUTH
