In the tip that is voluntary there is
an unacceptable fattery, So, at least,
one hears from gentlemen who now

that used to be done as means of
earning a living-tooling coach, for
example, On one little tour from the
Waldorf or the Holland, it does not
matter which, the gentleman on the
box was considered SO jovial and SO
excellent whip that the passengers,
all strangers from Western cities, gave
him tips amounting to $45. He tells
this to his friends in pride; it was the
real thing, he felt, in the way of
compliment, implying that he drove
well enough to be mistaken for pro-
fessional. Another amateur who has
received many tips in a similar way
preserves them as one would blue rib

The following article taken from the
Indianapolis Journal on the subject of
Admiral Bradford's opinion on the
Porto Rico Naval Station seems to ex-
plain the fact that this opinion was not
the result of careful investigation, or
direct orders to inspect the harbor. It
bears out the Boletin's cable of last
week however, in which it was stated
that the Admiral had spoken against
San Juan harbor:
Admiral Bradford, chief of the equip

RIVAL cHocrAw GOVERNORS.
At Tuskahoma the Partisans OF T. w. Hun
ter and Green McCurtain Are Con-
tending for supremacy.

Tuskahoma, I. T., Oct. 12.-Since
Monday there has been a struggle
between two factions in the Choctaw
nation at the tribal council in Tuska-
homa. The legislature was to have
met Monday and the new governor
sworn in. The unofficial returns
from the recent tribal elections
showed a majority for Green McCur-
tain for governor, although the leg
islature was about equally divided be-
tween McCurtain and his rival for
the governorship, T. w. Hunter. Gov.
Dukes, the present incumbent, is
bitter anti-McCurtain man. Before
the legislature was to convene he
took charge of the capitol and with
his light horsemen has since con-
trolled the building. The Hunter men
organized themselves and proceed
ed to declare Hunter governor. The
McCurtain followers did likewise and
seated their man. The dual govern
ments have now existed two days but
no trouble has ensued.

Secretary Cortelyou says: The oper-
ators have agreed to the appoint
ment of a commission to be appointed
by the president of the United States
to whom shall be referred all ques-
tons at issue between the companies
and their own employees, whether
they belong to a union or not, and
the decision of the commission shall
be accepted by the operators. The
operators also make a part of their
proposition that the miners shall re-
turn to work as soon as the commits
sion is constituted and cease all in
reference with non-union men. The
commission is to name a date when
it's findings shall be effective and
to govern conditions of employment
between the companies and their own
employees for at least three years.
The proposition of the coal oper-
ators was result of the visit of
Secretary Root to New York and his
conference with Mr.. Morgan on Sat

Philadelphia, Oct. 11.-Gen. Thomas
J. Stewart, the new commander-in-
chief of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, was born near Belfast, Ire

war. He has been connected with
the national guard of Pennsylvania

eral of the state by Gov. Hastings,
his commission in that position being
renewed by Gov. Stone in January,

Washington, Oct. 14.-By author
ity of Mr.. j. p. Morgan, who, with
his partner, Robert Bacon, and Sec
rotary Root were in conference with
President Roosevelt at the temporary
white house last night for an hour
and a half, a statement was given
out by Secretary Cortelyou in which
the presidents of the coal-carrying
railroads and mine operators propose
a commission of five persons to adj
just the differences and settle the
coal strike in the anthracite coal
fields of Pennsylvania. The PROPOSE
ton is believed by the administration
to be satisfactory to the miners, as
it covers the proposition made by
President Mitchell, of the United
Mine Workers union, with additional
conditions which it is believed the
miners will accept.

DIRIGIBLE BALLOON FELL.
De Bradsky. the Aeronaut, aud Companion
Killed Near Paris After Taking an
Exciting Voyage.

Paris, Oct. 14.-De Bradsky, the aero
naut, and companion, were killed by
falling from a dirigible balloon Mon
day. The balloon started from the
aero station at Vaugiriard, a suburb
of this city, al. 7:55 a. m, on trial
trip. After preliminary maneuvering
with a rope attached De Bradsky re-
leased the balloon and proceeded
southwark at height of 300 or 400
feet. The propellers of the machine
appeared to work well. The rudder,
however, was not quite successful.
The accident occurred about $50
when the balloon was above Stains,
near ST. Denis, the ropes attaching
the car to the balloon broke from
some unknown cause and the car,
with its occupants, De Bradsky and
NORM, were dashed to the ground
and the aeronauts met instantaneous
death. The balloon itself disappeared
in the clouds.

BANDITS MAKE RICH HAUL.
4 Burlington Train Was .Heid Up" Near
Lincoln, Neb, by Three Experts In
the Bus ness.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 13.-Three
masked men held up Burlington train
No. Al, the Pacific coast express,
four miles out of Lincoln, shortly
before two o'clock Saturday morning.
They used explosives on the express
car, shattering it badly and after
wrecking the safe rifled it of its con-
tents, securing an amount thought
to be $4,000.
Train Al reaches Lincoln at 1855
a. m, and leaves for the northwest
ten minutes later. 1t was a few min
ites late this morning and was in
charge of Conductor C. A. Lyman and
Engineer A. L. Clayburg. On the
city and the town of Woodlawn, the
engineer saw red light waved across
the track and brought the train to
standstill. Two men sprang quickly
into the cab, covering Clayburg and
his fireman with revolvers. They lost
no time in giving their orders and
were just as promptly obeyed. The
express car was cut from the balance
of the train and run ahead a short

and after commanding Messenger
William Lupton to open it and get
ting no response, fired two or three
shots into the car. The door was
then opened. A heavy charge of dy-
Mantle on the safe literally tore it
to pieces. Fourteen packages said
to contain $4,000 each were taken, to-
gether with other valuables. The
two men who were in the car polite
ly babe the trainmen good morning,
jumped from the car and disappeared
in the darkness. The passengers
were not molested nor were the
trainmen asked for their belongings.
Two Suspects Under Arrest.
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 13.-Two of the
alleged bandits who "he1d up Bur
lington train near here Saturday
morning and got $4,000 in booty are
under arrest. J. H. Murray was ar
rested at Louisville, Neb. He was in
Lincoln Friday night and returned
Saturday to his home, accompanied
by a man who resembles the man
who pointed a revolver at the engi-
neer during the robbery. Murray
himself partly answers to the de-
scription given by the trainmen.

Church congress, following so closely

anti-ritualist crusader, and all the
bitter feelings which that somewhat
tragic event accentuated, could scarce
ly have been expected to be peace
conference and to the normal dis
agreements which exist between the
high and low sections OF the church
an unexpected bone of discord has
been added. This consists in an out
spoken criticism of the Bibles infalli
bility. The discussion consisted Of an
eloquent plea from well-known per
sons for rational teaching OF the BIZ
bic to children, so that when they
grow up they will not discard the
inner meaning of oriental imagery a.
they did the tales of Santa Claus
DR.. Wordsworth, bishop of Sails
bury, and Rev. Alexander Kirkpat
rick Regius, professor of Hebrew a.
Cambridge, boldly declared they mus
not regard all parts of the Bible as
being equally infallible- Rev. Edgar
Gibson, chaplain in ordinary to the
king, compared the Bible to Shakes,
peare's mythical character of Mac
beth, around which Shakespeare
built a great human document" Sc
other writer's, he asserted, took w
certain tabled incidents and built
around them the great truths which
made religion what it is. The clergy
was wrong in going to teaching the
Bible in the old way. The church had
nothing to fear but had much to
gain from the new criticism.

SAYS IT WILL COME.
John II. Stahl Predicts Employ
ment Of Girls as Farm Hands.
The Up-to-Date Agriculturist DEM nds APP
piication and Dexterity ana Most Farm
Work Ii as Easy as Operating
Typewriter.

Macon, Ga, Oct. 11.-John NJ. Stahl,
of Chicago, at the Farmers National
congress, Friday, spoke of "the
labor problem from the farmers
standpoint" He said in part. Zone Of
the most annoying, difficult and vital
problems of farming is to get a suf-
ficient supply of good labor. Farm
ers could hardly pay higher wages.
But to a very small degree is ques-
ton Of more wages. The loneliness
of farm life that has been so pow
erful in taking farmer boys from the
farm and in keeping city laborers
from it is fast passing away before
rural free delivery, the farm tele-
phone and the country trolley line.
If by the education and proper ap-
probation of our calling the intro
duction of business methods, we put
farming on the same plane as other
business enterprises, we can COM
nand for 1t our rightful share of
the faithful, intelligent labor that
now goes to railroading, manufac-
turing and merchandising. This will
come to pass all the sooner, be-
cause the future will see many wo-
men farmers. It is already fashion
able for girls to be strong. and mus
cular and athletic and sunburned. In
teamwork SO much machinery is used
nowadays that the greater part of
teamwork on the up-to-date farm
requires intelligence and dexterity
and application rather than muscular
strength. Very much of farm work
is no more firing on the muscles
than operating a typewriter; it is
much less wearing on the nervous
system, and it is certainly much more
hea1thful. Woman has taken mans
place to large extent in the school
room, the store, the Office, even the
pulpit and the courts; why not on
the farm? The past harvest quite a
number of women worked in the
fields and liked it. There are now
some very successful women farm
ers. The farmer may much indeed
prefer seeing hishaughter helping him
in the field, operating the mower or
the harvester or hayrake or corn
planter than tempting fate amid the
artificial, unwholesome and danger
Gus conditions of the city.

A CONFLICT AVERTED
Federal Troops Prevent Clash Be-
tween Choctaw Factions.
Agent Schoenfield's Firm Stand-Green
McCurtain Sworn In Principal
Chief, Having $50 Ma

Washington, Oct. IA serious
conflict between partisans of rival
candidates for the governorship of
the Choctaw Indian nation, in the
Indian territory, has been averted
by the presence of federal troops,
according to dispatches received at
the interior department. Gov. Dukes,
the outgoing governor, who is said
to be a partisan of Hunter, one of
the candidates, took charge of the
capitol building, assisted by armed
horsemen, and, according to Indian
Agent Schoenfeld, arbitrarily per-
mitted persons to enter and sit as
members of the Choctaw council upon
commissions issued by himself and
refused to admit members having GER
tificates from the regularly consti-
tuted authorities. Agent Schoenfeld
appealed to Washington for troops.
On their arrival the Choctaw council
was permitted to enter the building
and reSuI-e it's sessions. The Off
cial dispa tches received yesterday
show that the votes of the council
for the Office of principal chief fgov-
emory was counted Sunday. Green
McCurtain had majority of $50 and
was duly sworn in. Agent Schoenfeld
wires that the presence of the troops
prevented a clash between contend
ing factions and that he now antici
pates no further trouble. All the
armed men in the Choctaw capitol
or capitol grounds have been dis
armed or removed by the TROOPS
