"Address as Above"

There is one lawyer in Brooklyn who
will never again make use of Latin
phrases in writing business letters. A
short time ago he had to write letter
to client in a neighboring city regard
ing an important lawsuit that was to
come up before the court in the course
Of a few days. The information he so
licited was highly essential to his case.
In writing this epistle he made use of
q letter head with his printed address
at the top. In closing his letter he sign
ed himself thus, "John Langdon, adj
dress ut SUPRA"
After waiting several days for the
reply. which did not come. he again
wrote his procrastinating client and
asked why he had not sooner answered
his first letter. The next day he re-
ceiyed reply in which the client said
that he had answered the letter and
addressed it to John Langdon, Ut

only for some lucky accident that shah

Such accidents with such results have
been frequent in the history Of the

no insignificant proportion Of its now
acknowledged masterpieces.
The books of the Bible themselves
have experienced the narroweSt es-

in their total loss. The most notable
example is that of Deuteronomy, which
disappeared from the Jewish world for
over a century. The story of its re-
discovery by the high priest Hezekiah
during the reign Of good King josiah
is set forth in the Old Testament.
Shakespeare was practically forgot

Dytrics Decamp.

THE Dytrics" is the manner in which
DR.. and Mrs. DR.. Dytric, headed their
advertisements announcing their ap.
pearar ce in this city as palmists, clair
voyants, etc several weeks ago.
The couple took up their residence at
the Candy house and did quite thriving
business at fret.
This morning Sheriff Struthers is af.
ter them on warrant sworn out by the
proprietors OF The Fashion, charging
Mrs. Dytric with having gotten about
forty dollars worth OF expensive wearing
apparel at that place and having failed
to return same. although she took the
goods out on inspection with a promise
to return them if they did not suit.
Evidently the goods were most pleas
ing to the lady, as they we're not return
ed and on last nights midnight train,
bound east, DR.. and Mrs. Dytric found
passage, their destination, so far as those
in authority we're able to ascertain, be-
ing Pueblo.
For the past few weeks the couple has
not been doing any advertising but it is
presumed that they were practicing the
art of palmistry.
DR.. Dytric is man OF medium size
with quite distinguished appearance
He was very dark complexioned and
wore moustache and heavy goatee.
Mrs. Dytric was petite and very pleas.
ing in her manner. She generally trans
acted all business matters for herself
and the doctor. They had many callers
at their place OF residence and generally
conducted themselves in a very quiet
manner.
Deputy Sheriff Smith sent several tel.
egrams west at first believing that they
had taken the train west, bus he soon
found his mistake and wired for their
arrest to Pueblo and other points along
the line.
wire late this afternoon from Pueblo
gave information that the fleeing pair
had been apprehended at that place and
they will probably be brought back to
this city.

Gentlemen.-I have sustained severe
financial loss at the hands OF yourselves,
your agents or your sympathizers and l
believe that the act OF destroying my

have equal right
For five square miles contiguous to
my property at Monument Springs the
character of the land and it's plant life is
such as to make it unfit for cattle graz
ing. 1t is covered with thick under
growth OF sarvis and oak brush. 1t
is ideal goat browse, but of no use for
grazing.

this territory, and desire to know wheth-
er, il l agree to remain at this point, not
allowing my goats to enter the grass
lands, may be allowed to carry on my
business without further molestation.
l waive the question OF ethics Of the
act OF killing the goats, and this com
munication is designated to acquaint you
with the real situation and to definitely
determine my place as factor in the
development Of the resources of our

BUYING HIGH GRADE CATTLE.
Unprecedented Sales to Americans in
the United Kingdom.

London, Dec. 8.-The last few
months have found in the United
Kingdom an unprecedented number of
American buyers of thoroughbred cat
tie, whose purchases of high class
breeding stock aggregate nfany thou
sands of pounds. A number of the an
imals bought are intended for exhi-
bition at the St. Louis exposition.
The prices paid range from $2,1OO to
over $6,250 per head. Scores of high
priced bulls and cows have been
shipped during the summer and fall
A number of purchases also have been
made of tiny Dexter and Kerry cattle
in Ireland, the breeding of which has
recently become quite the fashion in
England under the patronage of Lady
Lansdowne and other titled fanciers.
The ruling of DR.. Salmon, chief of
the United States bureau of animal in
dustry, allowing the importation of
Jersey and Guernsey cattle into the
United States without the tuberculin
test is expected to greatly stimulate
purchases in those islands. The agri-
cultural departments agents during
the last ten years have inspected over
10000 head of cattle in Jersey and
Guernsey and have not found a single
case of tuberculosis. II

progress has been made by the house

Tho bill that will probably be report

measure prepared by Mr.. Lttlef1eld Of
Maine during the last session of con-

ings of the committee nearly year

preliminary work was so we'll started
last winter. Judge Jenkins Of Wiscon-
sin, who is now chairman of the ju-
dietary committee as the successor of
Mr.. Ray devoted a considerable por-
ton of his time during the last session
to antitrust legislation.
No Need of Caucus.
II notice that the statement has
been made that the bill will be sub
mitted to a Republican caucus. Well
am perfectly willing to have this
done, but there is really no need Of it.
1t will embody the views of the presi-
dent. There will be ample time for de-
bate: the bill will be open to discus
sion, and where is the necessity for
holding a party caucus. So far as 1
know there is not Republican mem

publicity of the doings of large cor
porations will be the leading feature
of the bill. We do not mean to pry
into the private business of any pri-
vate individual, but where gigantic
corporation seeks to control or does
control certain commodities that the
public has to buy, why it is the public's
business to know something about it.
We will also provide for a system of
inspection which will, in my opinion,
result in much good"
It is understood that Colonel Pete
Hepburn of Iowa, chairman of the
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce will undertake to move his
commerce, will undertake to move his
antitrust law, when the judiciary bill
comes before the house for discussion.
Mr.. Hepburn believes the laws now on
the statute books are sufficient, if Wig
orously enforced, to completely rem

OKLAHOMA MAY COME IN.
Roosevelt Opposes Admission of the
Other Territories.

hooSevet imposes AoniSSion OF tne
Other Territories.
Washington, Dec. 9.-The influence
of the president is being felt in the
statehood fight in the senate, although
there has been no public statement
of the presidents attitude.
He has talked with several senators
on the proposition, and told them all
that after long consideration he had
reached the conclusion that Oklahoma
was the only territory at present fitted
for statehood. He added that at the
first he had been inclined to favor the
admission of all three territories, but
that study of conditions in New Mex
leo and Arizona had convinced him
that the time had not yet arrived for
taking the irrevocable step of admit
ting them to statehood. The presi-
dents reasons against admitting New
Mexico are that the population of the
territory is backward, both in learning
the English language and in active
participation in political life. The
courts, he has noted, are conducted
largely in Spanish for the convenience
of the population.
