"JosHED" THE PORTER.
McGovern Expected to Have Fun
But was Beaten.

While on a sleeping car en- route for
Cincinnati, Terry MeGovern and Joe
HUMPHREYS attempted to have some fun
at the expense Of the negro porter.
Who do you think will win the fight
between Ed Donkhorst and Casper
Leon?' asked HUMPHREYS.
"Al dem fights fakes" replied the son
Of Ham
"Fakes!" spoke up McGovern "'
you mea nto say that the McGovern-
Corbett fight Is going to be crooked"
Yes, sab, dat am no different from
the oders. Dis var Terry McGovern got
no business wild Corbett. Didn't Corbett
dun lick him de last time? Why, they
tell me dat McGovern am skeered to
death Of corbett. but McGovern's man
aGer needs de money, an OATS why
dey am gwine to fight. II McGovern
himself had anything to say da would
be no fight"
Then HUMPHREYS asked him II he re-
membered the famous fight between the
Gold Dust twins.
who am dem Gold Dust fellows?
nevah did heah Of dose babies"
"Why. Bob Armstrong and Denver Ed
Martin" replied HUMPHREYS.
WELL OATS pair dat got away from
me-" said the porter. II don't recalls de
scrap How long did they fightY the
porter asked
Sixty -one rounds" said Joe.
"Dey must be two dandies." said the
porter.
YES they were. They fought until
they we're black in the face"
but 10 get back to dis yeah Meow
n-Corbett tight. continued the por-
ter, dat boy McGovern neyah did any
thing but Brighten few second raters
out Of the ring"
'He didn't. hey?" said McGovern.
whats the matter with George Dixon7
He whipped him 10 finish"
well. I'll tell ye bout dat fight" re-
marked the porter. Dixon can whip
McGovern In one round,but Terry won't
fight him"
What's your name?" asked Terry.
why. this yah am Collins c. Cutlln
OF West Virginia"
Terry then stood up. and extending
his hand, said:
MIR. Cutlin. my name is Terry Nc
Govern OF Brooklyn"
The porter was naturally taken aback,
but he declined TO revise his opinions,
and while McGovern assumed an ex-
preston Of amusement. stu he was not
so pleased as he might have been.

The law Is Intended to preserve for
the common good certain animals and
BIRDS that are valuable as food, for
sport or as destroyers Of pests. One o.
the important provisions of the law
makes 1t unlawful for any person to
deliver to any transportation company
wild animals or birds killed In VIOLA
lion Of local laws. This prohibition ap-
plies not only to game killed out If
season, but to that captured In an ille-
stl manner by traps or nets, or for
Illegal purposes, as, in some states, for
sale or shipment. Heavy penalties are
provided for persons who do not mark
packages containing interstate game
shipments plainly, and evaslons hy
false marking or shipping game In
trunks or other such thinos, Is punish
able by special penalties.
Eastern dealers are warned against
ordering or receiving game from west
ern states that may have been killed in
violation Of local laws.
Jnsectlvorous birds. such az robins,
swallows. cedar birds, meadow arks,
fliokers, neghthawks and bullbats, are
generally protected by local laws and
under no circumstances, the law says,
are to be shipped out Of the state.
Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1902-09-06

One Of the most interesting provisions
OF the government statute Is that relat-
ing to birds killed for millinery pur-
poses, which is said to be the presl-
dents own idea. In circular accon-
panylng copies of the new law sent
out by the department Of agriculture
Il Is stated Statutes even more
stringent than those protecting game
birds have recently been enacted by
many states for the preservation nf
birds that are not included in the game
list. Under these statutes birds that
are in demand for millinery purposes
are protected throughout the year, and
sale and possession as well as killing
are prohibited.
II should be remembered that the
principal centers for millinery supplies
are nearly all located In states which
have such laws. and the purchase IL
native song birds as well as OF herons,
pelicans, fulls, terms or sea swallows
grebe or other plume birds should be
avoided. The shipment OF these birds
or any part Of their plumage is pro-
h,bited by the provisions OF the federal
law. Ostrich feathers are not subject
to these restrictions and their use
should he encouraged"

CONSPIRED TO SEIZE
THE NONE GOLD FIELDS

strange coincidence Mckenzie and Noyes ar.
rived at Nome on the same steamer. That sum.
mcr and, as II has been held, before the court
was properly organized Noyes appointed Mcken.
zc receiver OF most of the richest claims at
Nome Ills only ground for this was the appli.
cation Of some Of those jumpers who claimed
the ground stakcd out by the Swcdcs and who
had sold out to McKcnzics company Some OF
these claims were producing $4,000 worth OF
gold In twcny.four hours.
"Thc Wild Goose and Pioneer Mining coinpa.
nics had bought the Swcdcs' claims and at once
applied for II dissolution of the rcccivcrship.
Their petition was disrcgarded. They did, how.
ever, compel Mckenzie to give n bond, but Judge
Noyes only demanded Of hun one Of 5000 Then
he refused 10 allow an appeal in the face OF the
statute authorizing IL and commanded McKcn.
2e not only to take possession of the claims and
operate them, but also to take possession OF all
personal property found on them,
Messengers were secretly dispatched hy the
companies TO San Francisco, where the United
States circuit court was sitting and on the aif-
dayits submitted this court granted a stay, stop.
ping all proceedings at Nome until the appeal
had been heard before IL. These writs command.
ed Mckenzie and Noycs to restore the property
they had taken. Meanwhile the state OF things
at Nome can hardly he described. Nohing was
done and people lived in terror OF Mckenzie,
who was called the King Of Receivers. The
writs arrived on September l2, 1900, in terrible
Storm Mckenzie and Noyes put their heads
together and then Noyes decided that the circuit
court was without jurisdiction in The matter
and refused to obey the writs. II was lrrmored
that Mckenzie was going to Withdraw the gold
he had collected from the bank vaults, and men
stationed themselves about the barl; with guns.
Mckenzie did appear, but at the sight OF the
guns he lost his nerve and let the geld be.
mckenzie thought evidently that by disobny.
ing the order communication with the outside
world would soon be shut off and then things
could be to suit himself. However, Mr..
Knight a San Francisco lawyer, prepared pa
pers for contempt and secretly dispatched these
to San Francisco. The court upon receiving them
sent marshals to arrest Mckenzie and bring hin,
to San Francisco for trial. Mckenzie and his
gang tried TO keep Knight from going down to
San Francisco for the trial. and Moves issued a
warrant for his arrest This Knight lodged by
escaping in a steam launch night, and a
vessel which picked him up took him to San
Francisco in time to testify against Mckenzie
Following this strong efforts were made to
save Noyes. Frost was sent IN as special
agent of the department OF Justice and reported
in his favor, but later last spring the circuit
court ordered Noyes Woods and Frost to show
cause why they should not be punished for con.
tempt. Noyes went to Washington and de-
Tended in the senate. While Mckenzie was in
control through Noyes' writs thousands OF dol,
lars worth OF gold was collected by him.

MATURE scarce ever strikes without warning.
~ In far as disease is concerned il gives
1 ' clear signs of what Is impending day,
weeks, months, and even years before the
attack. Ii people looked for these signs and
took warning from them they would escape much
serious illness and live many years longer than
they do. IL is indeed remarkable how careless
we in this respect A man who will anN-
iously scan the sky for signs OF coming rain
lest his top hat may get spoiled will never
dream Of examining his eyes, nose or finger nails
for signs OF coming illness. The sneeze, for in
stance, is very significant. 1t is always sign
that something is iniurnS the air passages. any
where from the nose down to the lungs, Should
it be only of snuff or pepper, of course the
sneeze Is OF no consequence. But often il is an
indication of congestion. There is Inflammation
somewhere, with tco much blood and the OBJ
ject OF the sneo2e is TO give relief by getting
rid of some OF the huld, This sneeae is warn
ing that every prudent person should attend to.
II is at least the fOrerunner Of cold. But it
may indicate an approaching attack OF bron-
chitis or pneumonia. When there is much snecz'
ing, accompanied by something like small
shower OF rain, the victim will do well TO take

The winter cold itself is grave warning
When it recurs two or three times every winter,
it Is sure TO be followed, in the end, by chronic
bronchitis. Once this comes on it is practically
incurable. Men are started on their lives much
as a shell from camnon-with certain fixed
quantity Of energy Ii disease or accident does
not carry them of, they will die some time Of
what we call old age-in other words, when the
energy with which they started is spent. Some
have energy enough 10 carry them over the full
century; others have only sufficient 10 keep them
going for ninety eighty, seventy, SiNay or fewer
years. Now carly badness is sure sign with
some exceptions that the energy is likely to fall
sOuner than in the average man. but all kinds
OF badness have not this Significance. Sometimes
the loss OF hair arises from scalp disease, caused
probably by microbes. The warning badness is
that kind which commences about the temples
and on the eruwn OF the head, and gradually
eats lis way over the scalp, until only circular
fringe of hair Is left. Blue nails, or blue hands,
betoken weak or obsiructed circulation They
are warning against overeXertion OF any kind.
The obstruction may occur from disorder OF
several organs in the body, But most commonly
the blueness indicates that the heart is not up

sibilty," he continues, "injure really
worthy and sound corporation. IT
would protect the public against un-
worthy and failing corporations. AS
matters now stand, the secretary oi
state knows nothing about a corpora
ton after II leaves his office with a
charter from the state. He cannot
even tell how many Of the 10000 or
more corporations chartered by the
state during the last fifty years are
now dead, nor how many are still liv-
ing. The state creates the thing,
authorizes 1t to do business, sends 1t
out in the cold, and knows nothing
about It forever. 1t is high time that
a change should be made"

value. Many persons use this vile word
without realizing that when shouted
at another in derision or insult it con-
stitutes breach of the peace. No one
has any more right to call offensive
names at Il fellow citizen than to hit
that citizen with a billy or brick. The
fact that the word "scab" has come
into general vogue to designate the

ment as a means of attack. In law,

~ HERE Is much timely COM
mon sense in statement
Il recently made by Andrew
Carnegie of the reasons
which prompt him to give so much OF
his money for libraries.
II believe" said he, "in philanthropy
based upon this eternal truth-that
that only is helpful which helps people
to help themselves. All other forms
of philanthropy are barren of results,
false, deceptive, degenerating. Give
your money in such form that people
| using it, as step, may rise to greater
things. Assisting other people to eX-
ert themselves is the only genuine
philanthropy. Hospitals. nurseries,
asylums, all are eminently matters for
the attention of municipality. To
give such institutions to cities would
be an influence tending to make cities
forsake their proper functions and dis
regard their duties.
"ro care for the health and physical
condition of it's citizens is the first
duty of organized government. That
against assault, lights at night to in
sure safety parks for recreation, a
street cleaning department to free us
from the contagion of microbe-teem-
ing refuse and dirt, and public hos
pitfalls where the sick and injured who
are without money can be cared for
without charge. Next to public order
and health as the prime duty of a
municipality comes public education.
In that field lie the ineXhaustible op-
portunities for philanthropists. Schools
are established, but observation and
statistics prove that only the young
can attend school, and their period Of
self-improvement is short. Here,
thought. was my chance. And so I
concluded to give my money in the
form of libraries. and this l will con-
tinue to do to the day of my death.
NO one can get any good out Of a
public library without working. Thus
is my idea of philanthropy fulfilled, for
let me reiterate that none are worthy
of help who won't work to secure it.
When my last day shall come I will be
glad if l shall be able to know that
| have aided others in life's bitter
struggle or spurred into greater ac-
tivites the currents of the worlds
thought"
Scrantonians do not need any argu-
ments to convince them of the useful
ness of public libraries. Their expert
ence with the Albright institution has
taught every watchful observer that of
all the forms of public education, the
reading encouraged by free public
library reaches and touches a larger
number than any other agency except
the public school. In n way, the pub
lie library is more useful than the
public school: for while it acts as
powerful supplement to the work of
the school, it carries it's influence
among many persons who have never
had opportunity to secure public in
structon. Andrew Carnegie has un-
questionably found Il signally useful
way in which to distribute his notable
contributions to the bettcrment of
mankind.
