Washington, Dec. 12.-Assis
tant Secretary Allies has disposed
of the case Of Elmer Pettiford,
colored clerk in the treasury
department and a Seventh Day
Adventist, who refused to do work
on Saturday. Although the
chief of the division in which
Pettiford was employed insists
that the work is being delayed by
reason of his absense day each
week, Mr.. Allies had not been dis
posed to dismiss him, and finally
has concluded to transfer him to
the sixth auditors office, where
he will be put to work asserting
money orders. He will be reduc-
ed, however, from $1,000 to 1920
year, that being the maximum
pay allowed by law for that work
lie will get pay only for the time
he is actually employed.

ALARM 10 WAKENVHEDEAE.
They do not Hear 1t, but Stun
ntE EaAcs rs Might.

From the Anacoda Standard J
An alarm clock for deaf mutos
ls the novel invention of Eliza
Cretzel, def mute ia the en-
ploy OF The Washoe smelling plant
who resides at Is Birch street.
How to awake at a certain hour
has long been a problem among
these unfortunate people, and in
hr. Cretzor's invention the solu-
ton has been found. OF course.
the ordinary alarm clock has been
useless. Mr.. Cre'2er, who is an
ingenious fellow, is q water and
flame tender at the Washoe smeI-
ter. His work neces5itates his
r,sing at All early hour in the
morning, and as he has no means
OF awakening he has lost many
days Of work 5y being late. He
accordingly set about inventing
an apparatus by which be could
always be on time.
The dropping of a pillow on
the sleeping person is the awak-
ing agent, aud it is operated SO
that the pillow falls at the desir-
ed time. An ordinary alarm
clock is placed in cigar box,
which tts it closely. 1t is then
nailed to the wall at the head of
the bed. A string connects the
cIapper Of the alarm clock with
an ordinary spring mouse trap
fastened to the top of the cigar
box. BY a system of small pull
leys and screw eyes pillow is
fastened to the end of a string
ana pulled to the ceiling directly
above the bed. An ingenious
arrangement connects the other
end of the string to the mouse
trap. The clock is set, and when
the alarm goes off the string at
tached to the bell clapper springs
the mouse trap and releases the
pillow, which drops on the per-
sons sleeping in the bed beneath.
"1t does not hit me, it hits my
wife," Mr.. Cretzer wrote on piece
of paper, "and 80 | never miss a
day any more"

STEALS A HORSE IN
ORDER TO MARRY
Young Girl Arrested Upon Charge Of

Closely Guarded Lover.

LA CROSSE. Wis, Sept. 27.-Pretty
sixteen-year Christina Peterson,
the daughter of well-to-d do and re-
spected farmer, residing a few miles
south Of here, Is under arrest for the
theft Of horse from a farmer near
Ferryville; and though the girl was
reluctant to confess 1t, her fall from
grace was caused by her love for
wealthy young farmer named Olson,
residing near .Viroqua.
She. left her home and went to Fer
ryville some time ago to work for
friends, for her parents had refused to
allow Olson about. On the other hand,
the father of the young man strenu-
ously objected to the match and for
bade his son to leave the doorstep, or
go where he might see his sweetheart.
The vigilance of the boys father was
such that a meeting was impossible
and 1t was arranged for Miss Peter
son to go to Viroqua, there to be Sc
cretly married. Without money or
means, 1t is alleged, she stole the horse
from neighbor's barn and all night
she rode through a heavy storm toward
her goal. Early in the morning she
reached Purdy, hamlet but a short
distance from Viroqua, there to be ar
rested on what she was to have been
her wedding day. She has been taken
i'll from exposure and may not recover.

BOSTON, Mass, Sept Ex-senator
Lodge spoke at a dinner Of the Repub-
noon. AS he was one of the leading
figures in the Oyster Bay conference,
his remarks are regarded here by Re
publicans as of great significance. He
said:
1--WE cannot make reciprocal ar
rangements with Canada. We can with
q few South American countries. But
when you come to a general system OF
rect .Srocity treaties, you enter upon
an attempt, which I believe, after many
years of careful and practical consid-
Grafton, to be impracticable"
Mr.. Lodge favored a lowering Of du-
ties on hides and wool, but admitted
that Ohio and other great Western
states would strongly oppose any such
plan. He continued:
1.-THE Republican party has always
been ready and stands ready today to
make a revision Of the tariff whenever
the changed conditions or the necessity
of business demand 1t. There is moth
ing sacred about rates and schedules.
What we stand pledged to as a party
now and always Is the principle Of pro-
lection. We do not say that this sched-
ule or that schedule or all the schedules
might not be modified, reduced, raised
or changed to meet conditions and new
occasions.
1--WE stand there now and If there fs
q need Of a revision of the tariff and
the Republican party is convinced of
II by the work Of its committee or by a
commission appointed to investigate, 1t
will make that revision and make it on
protective lines"

TOBACCO WAR
ENDS IN COMBINE
American and British Companies Suo.
ceed In Pooling Their Issues
HarmoniousIy.

LONDON, Sept. 27.-The tobacco war
has been ended by the amalgamation
Of the American and British interests.
An official statement says:
1.-THE business Of Ogdens, Limited,
has been transferred to the Imperial
Tobacco company and the export busi-
nesses of the Imperial, Ogdens and the
American Tobacco company and its al
lies have been amalgamated and joint
company is in course Of formation un-
der the name of the British American
Tobacco company, Limited. The result
is that the Imperial company will be
left in possession of the trade Of the
United Kingdom, while the American
company Is not to be disturbed in the
United States or Cuba and the British
American company will compete for
the trade Of the other parts of the
world. The American company Will
pay for the good will Of Ogdens busi-
ness in ordinary shares ranking With
the similar shares of the original ven
dors between the 51a per cent preferred
shares Of that company and will pay Tor
the tangible assets of Ogdens In cash.
at is believed this combination is the
first attempt to unite any great inter-
national industry and its progress will
be watched with interest everywhere.
1t may mark a new development In the
direction of British and American in
terests joining hands instead Of COM
peting against each other in the sphere
of commerce"

STAGE MANAGER A
WIFE MURDERER
Harry Rose Was Jealous of the Atten'
tions of Samuel Adams, Rich
Real Estate Man.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Harry Rose,
stage manager of the Garrick ,theater,
shot and instantly killed his wife to-
day at their apartments in West
Thirty third street. Immediately aft
erwards he surrendered himself at the
nearest police station, where he handed
the revolver to the sergeant, saying:
IT have just shot my wife,"
Jealousy was the cause of the trag-
edy, Rose according to his statement
to the police, having detected his Wife
in an intrigue and being maddened by
her admission of guilt.
Mrs. Rose was formerly an actress,
and was known on the stage as Belle
Berger. She was a sister of Mrs.
Charles Zimmerman, whose husband
is a partner in the Philadelphia theat-
rical firm of Nixon & Zimmerman.
The man charged by Rose with hav-
ing alienated the affections of his
wife is Samuel Adams, a wealthy real
estate dealer, and a constant attend
ant at first night performances, with
whom Rose was on terms of friendly
intimacy, and whom, he says, he In
troduced to his wife. Adams was
greatly overcome on learning Of Mrs.
Roses tragic death, but denied there
had been any improperly in his rela-
tions whatever. Rose was held with
cut bail by the coroner and committed
to the TOombS.
