ST. LOUIS, Mo, Aug. 22-Mrs.
Cora Black. Of Dexter. Missouri, and
Mrs. Tile, Sullivan, of Manchester and
Vandeventer avenues, we'll known in
St. Louis society and prominent Meth
aodist workers, donned the habiliments
of man to see the shady side Of st.
Louis. They visited every part of the
"red light" district, and apparently en-
joyed themselves.
After brief sojourn in dance hall,
where the Pas ma la" is the chief at
traction, they were treated to a ride in
the police potrol. They were arrested
on Chestnut street early this morning
disguised in male attire.
When they faced Police Judge Side
ner Mrs. Black as spokeswoman said:
1--WE didn't know it was wrong to wear
mems clothes until we were arrested,
We wanted to see. St. Louis by dark
and learn som othing of the lives which
our unfortunate 7omen lead. The
gentleman who accompanied us said
he would protect us from insult. In
Dexter all women wear mems clothes
if they want to go out on lark, and
nothing Isl said to them"
Both womer. were in deep distress
and. after a severe lecture on the i'm
proprietT of their whim, were dis
charged.

THE KING OF BEASTS
BURSTS HIS CHAINS
And Walked Around the Streets OF

SterndtiOn

PATTERSON, N. J.. Aug. 22.-With
a roar and with mouth wide open one
of the lions of the Washburn Circus,
stalled at Lakeview, d suburb of this
city, burst the chains that held it cap
tive and escaped from the grounds
toda y.
The mighty beast roamed through
the streets of .Lakeview, seemingly
ready to devour all who crossed its
path. Children ran to their homes,
mothers locked doors and windows
and then, armed with guns, knives and
revolyers, with Jack Durant at their
head. yentured after the king Of
beasts.
Meanwhile Mr. Washburn, the own
er. sent out his trainers with their
blood hounds to capture the runaway.
The sight of the dogs added to the
general dismay.
The escaped lion leaped for John
Stephenson. mi1kman, who ran
down the Erie railroad tracks into the
station.
Toward noon the animal grew hun
CRY and was seen near the grounds.
Mr.. Washburn caught it by holding
out piece of raw meat, and a net was
then thrown over the lion and it was
taken back to its cage.

MORE CUSTOM HOUSE SCANDAL
importers at New York HdV6 SUSt0mdtiCdIIu
Cheated the Government

NEW YORK, Aug 22.-Eyidence
has been laid before Secretary of the
Treasury Shay which points to the ex-
istence Of a scandal in the imports of
china and pottery, involving losses to
the government exceeding even the
amounts lost through the frauds in
japanese silks.
1t is asserted by experts, who are
not themselves interested in the mat
ter, that a system of differentiation
has been practiced for the last twenty
years which has caused a loss to the
Treasury of from $I,000,000 to $780,
000 a year
While it has been known for several
years that this loss was going on,
persistent efforts to correct it were
nulifed by the inertness or hostility OF
government officials.
Astonishment was expressed today
that the determined attitude of the
Secretary of the Treasury and the new
officials appointed by him had lot
served as a warning to dishonest i'm
pOrters.
1t is said that frauds have been
detected in still another line of i'm
ports and that when an investigation
that is now in progress is finished
disclosures of a starting nature will
be made

Steward Took a Hand.

SEASIDE PARK, N. J., Aug. 22.--
Harry Gleason, the head waiter of the
Berkley Armes, a fashionable hotel,
was shot down last night in the pres
ence of about fifty guests by Bernard
Hertzel, the head steward.
Gleason was in the act of smashing
the proprietress, Mrs, E. Gardner, on
the head with a chair. after swearing
to kill her, when Hertzel fired to save
his mistress. One bullet entered
Gleason's breast and a second struck
his suspender buckle just below the
heart, passing around the ribs and
making a flesh wound.
After the shooting Gleason. who wa:
crazed with drink. started to finish
Hertzel and kept the guests in terror
while he stalked around the hotel
leaving trail of blood behind him
Gleason is about thirty-ive years OF
age and is six feet tall.
His physique oyerawed the guests
and it was not until the arrival of 2
constable from Seaside Park that he
was subdued. The man had annoyed
Mrs. Garner, the proprietress, with bis
attentions.

asked to put an end to the alleged
undervaluations of pottery, but the
facts have been submitted to President
Roosevelt. who is said to be taking
a personal interest in the case. The
complaint was made by men inter
ested in the pottery industry of the
United States, the headquarters of
which are in Trenton New Jersey.
They declare that the wages paid
abroad are less than one-third of those
paid in this country, and that if the
duty provided by law is not collected
here they will be placed at the mercy
of the foreign producers.
When Appraiser Whitehead was
asked whether an investigation was
in progress in regard to the charges
made by the pottery manufacturers he
replied:
Il regard it as my duty to appraise
merchandise and to make my report
to the Collector of the Port I have
absolutely nothing to say in relation
to the natter
1t is asserted by men who are in a
position to know what has been go
ing on in the appraisal of pottery that
the undervaluations have averaged
about one-third for many years. The
Trenton pottery makers say the period
covered by the alleged frauds is not
less than twenty years.

WASHINGTON D. c., Aug. 22.--
There probably will be another vacancy

In anticipation Of Justice Shiras' re-
tirement the Senator'S from Pennsyl-

1t is we'll known that the President

and who has become one of the Presi-
dents closest personal friends, besides
being the one lawyer in the admins
tration in whom the President places
absolute reliance as an adviser in legal
matters. When the time comes it is
believed a tender of the appointment
will be made to Mr.. Knox, and the lat

severed even the nominal connection
he had with the firm of lawyers in
Pittsburg of which he was the head for
so many years, and he is trying to dis

indicated a purpose to make Washing

SHORT OOURTSHIP
The Girl Evidently Suffered From
R6mOrse or Sorrow and Sought
the Everlasting Peace OF
Death

WINCHESTER, Va. Aug. 22.-Re-
becca Albin, a pretty girl, II years old,
daughter of ex-Judge NJ D. Albin, at
$3.50 o'clock last night was found LYING
on the sidewalk on North Washington
street. a fashionable thoroughfare
here. She said she had taken strych-
nine. When informed that she had
only few minutes to live she begged
the physicians to save her, crying:
"Oh, why did do it! But I am so
tired-so tired of 1ife!' She was car
ried to residence near by, and expired
shortly in COMMISSIONS
Just as she died J. R. Pinnell, a
Philadelphia book agent, rushed in and
begged to see her. His request was
refused, and later he was arrested. At
the coroner's inquest today he stat I'D
chat he met Miss Albin last Tuesday
and since then had been attentive to
her. They went driving and walking
together, and she seemed deeply at
tached to him.
The two went walking in Mount He
bron cemetery yesterday afternoon.
and he left her at 4 o'clock A few
moments later Miss Albin walked into
drug store and bought a bottle IF
strychnine. The last time she was
seen at home was at o'clock Where
and how she spent the evening is not
known.
Pinnell denies being with her. He
says that he made an appointment
with her to go drying, but that she
broke the engagement. 1t is known
that she walked the streets in search Of
him and then took the poison. The
bottle, with half it's contents gone, was
found three blocks from where Miss
Albin fell It is contended that 1t
must have been impossible for her to
walk the distance.
The coroner's jury returned verdict
of suicide and exonerated Pinnell.

POISON IN VERY SMALb DOSES

Give th6 P6Opl6

WASHINGTON. D. c., Aug. 22-
What will practically amount to re-
opening of the whole oleomargarine
question soon will be submitted to
Internal Revenue Commissioner
Yerkes. That officer already has de-
cided that the use of palm oil as an
ingredient of oleomargarine is unlaw-
full, because, if used as submitted to
him in samples it would be deleterious
to health, while if used in small guam
titles it's effect would be solely to give
color of natural butter to the product
Instead of taking this decision 10
the courts, the oleomargarine interests
have decided to place before the Com
missioners the further question
whether palm oil can be used at Ail
in oleomargarine if the oil is pure
and not used to obtain the color of
The Tucson citizen., 1902-08-22

butter 1t will be used in the same
proportion that cotton-seed oil is now
used. 1t is to be refined and puri-
fed, so that no objection can be raised
on the ground of taste or color.
If the Commissioner decides in their
favor, it practically will win for the
oleomargarine men the point for
which they have been contending, as
the palm oil will naturally have the
effect of coIoring the oleomargarine
yellow, so that it will look like butter,
1t was to prevent this that the Ole
omargarine law was prepared at the
last session of Congress. If the Com
missioner decides against the plan and
rules that the palm oil is used only for
the purpose Of coloring the product
tnen the case will be taken to the
courts.

FAHRENHEIT THERMOMETER.
Origin of a Scientific Instrument in
Every Day Use.
CNew Orleans Times-Democrat.)

CNew Orleans Times-Democrat.)
Sir Samuel Wilks, writing to Knowl-
edge, gives the history of the origin of
Fahrenheits thermometer, which is
generally used in this country 1t was
really invented by Sir Isaac Newton,
and the starting point of his scale was
the heat of the human body. New
toms paper is to be found in the Phil
osophicaI Transactions" for the year
I7OI. He describes his instrument as a
glass tube filled with linseed oil, and to
il he attached a scale to measure the
degree of heat of the liquid into which
he plunged it, His lowest point was
that of freezing, as his highest was
that of boiling water. He chose Tor
the starting point on his scale the heat
of the human body, and this he called
nv the round number II, the duodecimal
system being then in use-tnat IS ne
divided the space between the freezing
noint and the temperature of the body
intn twelve parts. He further stated
tha+ the boiling point would be about

aJacks, is an Ancient Game.

What little girl is there who has not
played jacks? In practically every civ
ilized country the children play jacks.
They may have different rules as to
what makes a miss or a game, but they
pick up the jacks in the same way,
with the same quick movement.
The game is so old that M one knows
just when it was invented. At any
rate, it is known that the little chill
dren in Egypt played jacks, although
they called them something quite diff
ferent. The jacks they used were little
pieces of bone. The bones were
little knuckle bones, very smooth, and
with several corners, so that they could
be picked up quickly. In some of the
tombs of the Egyptians these little
bones have been found lying beside the
mummies of little children, so that it is
supposed that the jacks, or whatever
they called them, which these children
played with so long ago, were buried
with them.
It is thought that jumping the rope is
as old pastime as jacks. Little girls
have been swinging ropes for other
little girls to jump through for two or
three thousand years at least, and pos
Sibly much longer.

Advice to the Lecturer.

A jovial looking man on Jersey City
to Pittsburg train drank frequently and
deeply from quart bottle, which he cour-
teously offered before each swig to his
fellow passengers, one of whom. an as
cetic looking man, refused the bottle with
scorn and eventually delivered a lecture
on temperance, ending with:
You take awful chances in clouding
your brain with alcohol. When you
again come into possession of your nor
NAL senses, you may be in the gutter, you
may be in prison, you may be in eternal
punishment
After the berths had been made up for
the night, the jovial one staggered down
the aisle, pulled aside the flap of that
occupied by the lecturer, and asked:
Where yoush goin', OF fel'r?"
'Pittsburg''-this severely.
"Yoush didn't tip p-p-porter."
