other until it finally reached the su- preme court and there it was decided that Brennan was nat q servant or agent of the foundry company when the accident occurred. Then arose the question, in whose employ was he at that time? His name was on the pay rolls of the foundry company and he had always been paid by that con cern, and he had received his full wages for the week in which the acci- dent had happened. But the supreme court, nevertheless, had decided he was not employed by that company at the time of the accident. His name was not on the pay rolls of the bridge company, nor had he been paid by that company. Here was a poser for Attorneys k ledy and O'Neill, coun- sel for Brennan.
 While the lawyers were trying to clear up this point Brennan had to have the lower part of the injured leg removed, and it was about this time also that he had a singular dream, which was the motive power in all this litigation Brennan had not the funds with which to lubricate his case on its passage through the courts, and his lawyers would have long ago aban- doned it but for their clients faith in the virtues of his case. They knew they had the right side of 1t, but the trouble was to show that side to the supreme court, and to do that cost a whole lot of money. They therefore dived into their own pockets to pay for the oil While Brennans lamp of faith in his case kept burning. He dreamed that a deceased relative came to him one evening in the hospital, where he was at this time, and told him to stick to the case no matter how long it would take the courts to see it's virtues. Several points that had not occurred to him before were shown to him, by which it would not be so difficult after all to convince the courts that he had the law and the facts on his side. When he told his lawyers this they received it with all a lawyers incredulity; money, not dreams. was what was needed to win the case; they had enough law and facts to win a dozen cases of the kind So once more the case went thrs1gll the courts. When the defendant lost he appealed, and when the defendant won he appealed also. At length ii WuS Nt0ltllAllltNl llltil pIellldI MdS III the employ of the bridge company when the accident occurred, and then l it was alleged that the bridge com, pany was negligent in not properly in structing it's men how to handle theil crow bars. A master is not liable fol a fellow servants neglect, but he is li able for his own neglect in neglectine to instruct and inform his servants against neglectfulness. Four times AIessrs O'Neill and Kennedy took the case to the supreme court on that point, the defense contending that while that was so there were elements in this particular case that mitigated against the plaintiff, and two or three times the supreme court sided with the defense. But Brennan, strong in the faith in the apparition that came tC him while laid up ill the local hospital urged his counsel on to another battle and on the fifth visit to the supreme court it was decided for him with q judgment for S3.000. Thus the case is disposed of after being seven years ill court.

FOR CENSUS BUREAU.
House Favors a Permanent Estab-

House Favors a Permanent Estab-
 lishment.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The house spent yesterday considering the Hop kins bill to create permanent census bureau. While the general sentiment was in favor of permanent bureau, there was a strong opposition to the bill as drawn on the ground that 1t was not well matured.
 There also was an overwhelming de- mand for a provision to place the pres ent employees of the census bureau under the protection of the civil service law, and the bill was finally recommit- ted, with instructions to report back a bill containing a plan for detailed or ganization of a permanent census bu- reau, to include also a provision to place the present employees under the civil service. The fight to recommit was made under the leadership of MT. Burkett (Neb.), the new member of the appropriations committee.
 A bill was passed unanimously to give Mrs. Mckinley the free mailing privilege during the remainder of her life The house then adjourned until Monday.
 The house committee on commerce has taken up the subject of Pacific cable The main question is whether the cable shall be constructed by the government or by private parties
 The hearing was devoted to an expla- nation by George c. Ward, vice presi- dent of the Commercial Pacific Cable company, of the plans of that organi- zation He stated that contracts had been made for the manufacture and l laying of a cable to Honolulu by Nov. ] next, and the company intended to l extend the cable to Manila within two l years from next November. The manufacture of the cable was l now proceeding, he stated, at the rate ] of 240 miles per month, and this rate would be increased to 630 miles per month He gave the cost of the project as between $10,000,000 and $12,000,- 000
 The cross questioning by Chairman l Hepburn and Messrs. Corliss and Mann l tended to develop the question whether i or not the company, by having an ex- ;. elusive field, would maintain high rates. Mir. Ward gave the expected 1 rate to Manila at $1 and Honolulu 35 | to 50 cents a word.

ODESSA, Sept. 1S.-The Russian
minister of agriculture and state do
mains, NJ. Yermoloff, has announced
that he has now taken effective meas
ures for the suppression of the sys-
tematic poaching operations of Amer
leans and Japanese among the seal
and other animals on the northeastern
coast of Siberia.
Although anxious to comply with
the reiterated representations of Rus
STA, the Washington and Toxic govern
ments have failed to put an end to
this Illicit fishing in Russian waters.
M. Yermoloff now gives formal no.
tice that American and Japanese
poachers captured within the limits of
Russia's maritime jurisdiction on the
Siberian coast will be liable to three
months Imprisonment and their ships
and cargoes to confiscation This order
will be enforced by three fast gunboats.
No discrimination will be made. The
commanders and crews of poaching
vessels will be subjected to the same
punishment. In case of refusal to
surrender or attempt to escape the
commanders of the Russian gunboats
are empowered to fire upon and sink

Business.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE living
models at the National Dressmakers'
convention have gone on a strike, and
one Of the most interesting features Of
the meeting has met the fate of the
pull-back skirt and the long petticoat
and will be seen no more.
Hereafter no more living models will
be used to display the gowns and the
corsets, and the familiar, but less at
tractive dry goods store dummy, will
take the place of the Trilbys who have
posed for the benefit of art and the
crowd, showing the beauties of the
straight front, the kangaroo effect and
just how and how much skirt should
be raised in different localities and in
different kinds Of weather.
Their grievance was that the con-
vention could not be kept an Adamless
Eden. Men would come and the strain
to the models modesty became I'M
bearable.

1t might be said that in naming Col.
CASTOR to head the ticket precedent
was shattered, inasmuch as he was
nominated and then given a platform
of his own -dictation. Not unlike the
famous conventions of 1896 and 1900,
the fight was over the national issues
on the platform. The test Of strength
was between Col. CASTOR on the one
hand and George Fred Williams, orce
the stalwart leader of the Silver DEM
ocrats, on the other. In this battle Mr..
Williams was utterly routed, with the
predicted result that he is Shorn OF all

The convention opened with trouble
brewing. 1t came soon after Mr.. Cas-

from the floor was one Of bitter words,
during which delegates, objecting to
Mr.. Williams sarcastic references to
the last five planks in the platform,
which he said were placed there at
Mr. Gaston's solicitation, Kissed and
cried him down. Throughout the tu-
multi the speaker exultantly surveyed
the throng and when order was re-
stored concluded his speech, to be
Kissed again as he sat down. The
minority report was utterly defeated.
Another incident before closing was
the rejection Of the report Of the COM
mittee on the rest of the state ticket
and the acceptance of sub-list brought
in by minority Of the committee. The
reason given was that the majority
gave too many offices to men In the
Eastern part of the state. Immediate
ly thereafter Mr.. Hamlin, taking the
platform, asked that Mr.. Gaston's nom-
nation be made unanimous, which
was done amid cheers and the conyen-

WINSIDE, Neb.. Sept. 17.-David
Leary, a Winside liveryman, started
out alone this afternoon to try to To-
cate suspect who had been seen
about four miles from here. Leary
came upon two men driving some cat
tie and thought one of them was Me

Leary went to a nearby farm house
and procured shotgun, and the as
sistance of Perry Borum, who had a
rifle. The two men went across a field
to intercept the herd and soon came
upon Niegenf1nd. They called upon
him to throw up his hands. His reply
was to draw revolver and to shoot
point blank at Leary, at the same time
springing behind his companion, using
him as a shield. Niegenfind fired his
remaining five shots without effect.
Then Leary and Borum poured fusil-
lade of shots into him until he fell He
was>brought to Winside and doctors be-
lieve he will live, although he is I'M

force one of their children to observe
the obligations of humanity in the
case of the Jews The appeal takes
the form of state paper, remarkable
in several respects which has been
dispatched in Identical form to every
ambassador and minister of the United
States residing in one of the countries
Of Europe, which were parties to the
famous treaty at Berlin Of 1878,
namely, Great Britain, France, Ger
many, Russia, Italy, Austria and Tur-
key, marking the termination of the
Turko Russian war and the creation
by the direct act of the powers of the
independent Balkan states.
Because the powers are thus re-
sponsible for the existence of Rou-
mania, the culprit in this case, the
secretary of state has directed the note
to them in the hope that that they will
bring this government to sense Of its
duties toward civilization at large as
we'll as to cause it to amel1orate the
frightful condition of the Roumanian
Jews. In measure, this action by the
department of state may be traced to
the many petitions of the Jewish soci-
cites and humanitarians generally, as
we'll as to the warnings of publicists re-
speeding the growing dangers of the
immigration of degenerates. Among
the contents of the document is this:
1.-THE United States welcomes now,
as it has welcomed from the founda-
ton of It's government, the voluntary
immigration of all aliens coming hither
under conditions fitting them to be-
come merged in the body polite of this
land. Our laws provide the means for
them to become incorporated indistin-
guishably in the mass Of citizens and
prescribe their absolute equality with
the native born, guaranteeing to them
equal civil rights at home and equal
protection abroad. The voluntary
character of their coming is essential,
hence we shut out all immigration as
sisted or constrained by foreign agen-
cies. The purpose of our generous
treatment of the alien immigrant is to
benefit us and him alike-not to af-
ford to another state field upon
which to cast its own Objectionable
elements.
"The condition Of large class of
the inhabitants of Roumania has for
many years been a source Of grave
concern to the United States. I refer
to the Roumania Jews, numbering
some 100000. Long ago, while the
Danubian principalities labored under
oppressive conditions which only war
and general action Of the European
powers suficed to end. the persecution
of the indigenous Jews under Turkish
rule called forth in 1872 the strongest
remonstrance of the United States"

this crater contained water, but it is
now filed with sand and has a funnel
shaped cavity in the center. Cum
mings and Adams saw flames rising
from three distinct places in the crater.
They had a narrow escape. The heat
on the mountain was intolerable.
