From the London Mail.
In a recent case in which a certain
mine manager was sentenced to two
years Imprisonment at Brisbane for
obtaining money by false pretence.
amusing particulars OF the method in
which mining should not be conducted
were given in the following letter.
which was found locked in the pris-
oner's safe, and which was read in
court:
II am pestered with visitors, all
watching progress. and my presence
both at drill and shafts is absolutely

MARRIED. BY PHONOGRAPH.
Unique Ceremony That United n
Couple nt Ottawa, o.
From the BAltImore SUI


Toledo, o., Jan. 26.--aIiss Nellie
Stone, one Of the prettiest and most
popular young ladies' of tttawu. o.,
was married yesterday at Oswego by
phonograph to j. +. Duncan OF that
city.
The regular marriage ceremony was
impossible, owing to the fact that the
home of the relatives with whom Miss
Stone was stopping awaiting the mar
rfage was suddenly placed under strict
quarantine for smallpox The young
lady was In s1ch a nervous condition
over the delay that her physician
thought OF the plan of the 'phonograph
marriage which is held to be per-
fectly legal.
In her room at the Creighton home,
where she was quarantined, Miss
Stone, in the presence of witnesses, re-
peated into the phonograph the words:
II, Nellie Stone, do take this man,
James f. Duncan, to be my lawfully
welded husband, for better or for
worse, till death do us part
The photograph record was then re-
moved, fumlgated and taken to the
Duncan residence, where the groom
and a clergyman performed their part.
of the ceremony. The engagement was
a romantic one. Both are newspaper
writers and they became acquainted
through their articles. Correspondence
and an exchange of photographs
brought about an engagement. and
Duncan has been a frequent visitor at
Ottawa, o., for the last six months.
Last Monday Miss Stone went to
Oswego for the marriage. A friend
stopping with her relatives. the Creigh-
tons. was seized with smallpox OF
virulent form. and, though he was
promptly removed from the house. the
sanitary authorities insisted on a rigid
quarantine. The result on the young
iady's nerves was so serious that the
"phonograph marriage" was decided
on by the doctor, and the contracting
parties gladly assented.

EATING INrHAVANA.
Yankees Club Together.

In Havana 1t is the custom to serve
only bread and coffee for breakfast.
A little colony of Americans that felt
they could not do their work until noon
on this kind of diet dubbed together
and began importing Grape-Nuts
Breakfast Food.
One of them writing about the mat
ter, says: "The modern cooking range
had never been known in Cuba until
the American occupation, and even
now they are scarce, so that a ready
cooked food like Grape Nuts recon-
mends itself to start with; then the
Yankees were accustomed to the food
and felt they could hardly get along
without It. They began buying in FIVE
case lots and one by one the larger
grocery stores began keeping Grape
Nuts in stock. so the business spread
until now great quantities Of Grape
Nuts are used In Cuba, and II is not
only used by the Americans, but the
other Inhabitants as we'll"
This is an illustration of the way
the famous food has pushed itself into
all parts OF the world. Wherever Eng
lish-speaking people go they demand
Grape Nuts. They can be found In
South Africa Egypt. India. China,
Japan, Australia and South America.
Many Americans speak of the home
like feeling II gives them TO see the
numberless busses in the streets OF
London decorated with great blue
signs with the word "Grape-Nu done
IN yellow letters. and all over England
the great purveying shops distribute
Grape Nuts.
English roast beef has largely given
way 10 American roast beef and the
old fashioned English breakfast OF ba-
con and potatoes II now supplemented
with Grape Nuts and cream. The
change Was made for reason. II has
been discovered that almost magical
power rests within the little Ernnules,
and this power N Set free In the body
that makes use OF the famous food.

Japanese Lost 200 Men i'm Blizzard
on Marching Tour.

Yokohama, Jan. S1.-Details of the
loss of about 200 Japanese soldiers, who
were frozen to death, have been re-
ceived here.
1t seems that a command of 210 men,
practicing winter marching, was
caught in a blizzard on the northern
end of the Island of Hondo and lost
their road.
The snow in the mourftain passes was
20 feet deep. In their efforts to warm
themselves the detachment burned
their haversacks and rifle butts, but
many of them were frozen to death.
The Il survivors then scattered and
in small parties endeavored to reach
the villages. Only one corporal, how
ever, succeeded in escaping from the
mountains, and he was picked up by
a relief party. 1t is feared that the
others perisheds ra~.

ican-
Charleston, S. c., Jan. 23.-Pat
Sheedy, the New York gambler, who
has been attending the Interstate Ex-
position, in this city, was waited on
to-day by a serious committee of citi-
zens of Columbia and invited to go to
that city and deliver an address on
prohibition before the state Legislature
now in session. The committee was
headed by a deacon and was COM
posed of church members.
The Columbia reformers heard that
Gov. A. ]. Montague, of Virginia, was
here. They hurried down to invite him
to speak to the Legislature in the in
terest of prohibition. When the minis
terial-looking delegation entered the
Charleston Hotel. distinguished look
ing man of 220 pounds was pointed out
to them.
Governor" said the spokesman, 1--WE
are from Columbia, and represent the
religious element of the city. We want
you to come up and speak on prohi-
bition before the Legislature"
The distinguished looking man
blushed, looked surprised and STAN
mered. He was Pat Sheedy, who the
night before had dropped $4,000 in a
quiet little game, according to his own
statement to the North American cor
respondent to-day.
But how do you know I am a tenn
perance MANI" asked Sheedy.
"Oh, we know all about you," was
the confident reply. You're all right

When the committee got together on
the sidewalk outside of the hotel some
one asked them if they knew who they
had been talking to.
ITO Gov. Montague of Virginia." said
the chairman proudly.
That's Pat Sheedy, the gambler"
said their questioner.

FIRST TALKS OF TARIFF BILL.

Taft TaIISed 10 Investigating Conn
mittee.
washington, Jan. 31.-An extended
sreech upon the pending Philippine
tariff bill was delivered in the Senate
to-day by Mr.. Morgan Of Alabama.
While he discussed in a general way
the pending measure, he devoted his
attention particularly to an amendment
10 it. which he offered last week. He
maintained that the enactment of the
hill as it stands now would not be a
Constitutional remedy for the situation
which the measure is designed to re-
lieve. but with the adoption of his
amendment the bill would stand the
closest scrutiny of the courts. The Ala
hama senator did not discuss the politi-
cal phases of the Philippine question,
devoting his entire speech to a consid-
Grafton of the legal and constitutional
questions raised by the presentation or
the tariff measure.
When the Philippine tariff bill was
taken I'D Mr.. Morgan argued that Con-
gress had no constitutional authority
70 levy a discriminating tariff, either
unon imports or exports between the
United Statse and the Philippines.
~ believe in the doctrine of free
trade in all parts of the United States,
whether covered by the constitution, the
flags or BOTH" he said.
Mr.. Morgan contended that an export
duty is plainly forbidden, even though,
in the case of the Philippines, the duty
was levied there.
Speaking of the claims which had
been made that there was no lawful
government in the Philippines, Mr..
Morgan, with great earnestness, said
there is a government there, and he
was glad to say, very good govern
ment. suitable to the character of those
people and the circumstances in which
we found them.
Mr. Morgan, in referring to the work
of the Philippine Commission, their
personality and ability, paid tribute to
the late PRESIDENT Mckinney, VINO, ne
said, was the happiest man in the
world in making selections of men for
responsible positions.
At one point, Mr.. Tillrnan asked:
"Did you say we are in the Philip
pines with the consent of those peo-
cle?"
Mr. Morgan replied that he did not
propose to be interrupted just for the
amusement of the Senator from South
Carolina.
Mr. Morgan urged the establishment
of an executive department for the
control of the Philippines. e
After an executive session the Senate
adjourned until Monday.

MR.. GUERRY AT WAYCROSS.
Says Railroads Do Not Pay Their
Share of the Taxes-Wants Pro-
hibitiOn in Chatham as Well as
Ware.

Ware.
Guerry addressed Waycross people at
the Court House tonight. He was in
troduced by Editor John w. Greer Of
the Waycross Journal, and spoke two
hours, making a good impression. Mr..
Guerry said he wanted in Georgia hon
est politics, honest taxation, honest ex-
penditures of public money and honest
prohibition. He denied fighting corpor-
ations, but favored them and insisted
that they should bear an equal share
of taxation with citizens. Railroad
only pay taxes on about one-fourth the
real value of their property. He quoted
from Poore's Manual of Railroads and
from the Controller Generals records,
showing the railroad pay about $2.63 per
81 900, while the home owner pays from
SIS to $780, Mr.. Guerry went for the
Atlanta depot bill and the legislators
who voted for it with gloves off, and
told of the advocates of the bill get
ting the opponents of it "tanked" to the
voting point the day the vote was
taken.
He condemned in strong terms lob
DylSm IN connection Will IeS tioii'
When he reached the prohibition
part of his speech, Mr.. Query warmed
up. He said the only difference be-
tween himself and his opponents was
that he favored local option where 1t
cannot be carried, and they favored
it where it can be carried. We need
honest prohibition in Georgia, the same
for Chatham as for Ware, and for Blop
as for Thomas. He said if he had to
choose between dispensary and bar
room. he wouldn't choose. The trou-
HE is not that prohibition does not
prohibit. but prohibitionists do not
prohibit. Mr.. Guerry will speak again
tomorrow morning and return to Ma
con Tomorrow night.

TRUSTS AND THEIR REMEDY.


The Republican leaders at Washing
ton are Just now doing a great many
things and saying n great many things
in regard TO remedy for the trusts.
President Roosevelt suggests pub
licity' as remedy. Senator Mason
yesterday introduced a res luton for
constitutional amendment - a rem
edy." other Republican lea 'ers are
suggesting other remedies"
All such talk is made largely for the
purpose OF deceiving and misleading
the people.
What evidence is there at this time
that we need any remedy
What has been done TO demonstrate
the assumption that the law we al.
ready have is not efficient and ade-
quate for all requirements?
Nothing.
II President Roosevelt and other re-
publican leaders are in earnest about
the matter. why do not they give the
present law fair and honest trial and
demonstrate either it's efficacy or inefii.
cacy7
Until they do this; until they make
an earnest effort TO enforce the pres.
ent law, they must necessarily stand
before the people self-convlcted Of in.
sincerity and hypocrisy.
The present law may need a few
minor amendments in the way OF So
Gritty and comprehensiveness, TO ft ex.
panding conditions, but it is all right
In the main.
A trust is but an individual in the
aggregate. II is a creature of the law
and is amenable to the law. the same
as an individual.
Fundamentally, law is but a rule of
conduct defining that which is right
and prohibiting that which is wrong.
II an individual violate law, he is
punished by the same power which
lays down that law.
Why not apply this simple yet com.
prehensive rule to the trusts?
II this be unconstitutional. then our
entire legal. judicial and constitution.
al fabric must necessarily fall.
The chief difficulty with the present
trust situation lies. not so much with
the law itself, as It does with the en-
forcing power Of the law.
As a matter Of fact. the Republican
leaders do not want to remedy" the
trusts. They are bound by pledges,
association and self-interest to pro.
tect the trusts. 1t is for this purpose
that they are kept in power
The Republican leaders who are not
trust magnates themselves are elected
by the trusts for the reason of pledges
made TO the trusts.
The trusts control the policies and
dictate the course Of the Republican
party.
All thls talk OF the Republican lead.
ers about remedying the trusts is
made for the purpose of deceiving and
misleading the people.
The people can hope for no relic.
from the trusts through the Republi.
can party.
Their only hope lies in the Demo.
cratic party; the party Of the people;
the party which stands for the enforce
ment Of law.
