IN THE HOuSF.

Washington, March 23.-There is a bare possibility that the fight over the question of Cuban reciprocity will be transferred to the floor of the house during the coming week. The proba- bilities, however are that the re- eiprocity resolution introduced by MT. Payne, the floor leader of the majority, after the action of the republican cau- GUS last week will not be called up un- til the following week, though upon this point no definite decision has been reached as yet by the leaders The present programme Is to take up the army bill after the disposal of the Moss Rhea contested election case on Tuesday Several days will be con sumed in general debate on this bill as the democrats are inclined to use it as text for speeches in opposition to the policy of the administration in the Philippines. It is a foregone conclusion that MT. Rhea will be unseated when the vote on his contested election case is taken on Tuesday

QUEEN ALExANDRA's YOUTH.

QUEEN ALEX AN DRA'S 4OUI6.
 It is creditable to Queen Alexandra of England that she has not forgotten the governess under whose care her youth full mind was trained in lines of useful ness. It Is announced that she has in vited Miss Knudson to the coronation
 ceremonies next June. Certain circum-
 stances at the court made Prince Chris tian Frederick elect to bring up his family in a semi-private manner, and
 he lived in the big old-fashioned man
 sion which still stands in the principal
 street of Copenhagen. Here homely,
 simple Hfe was led, and the children
 who were destined to be kings, em- presses and queens slept in modest bed-
 rooms. the windows of which looked out upon the old coachyard.
 But it was the castle at Bernstorff which was really home ine those days. There in the quiet country they threw off all ceremonial restraint, and lived among the peasantry the unassuming lives of a landowners family. Every Sunday the father and mother and their boys and girls walked to the par ish church with their humber neigh bors; and all the week the children romped in the woods and meadows Many stories are told of their esca- pades. Once the two little maidens, Alexandra and Dagma, coaxed carter to let them ride in his wagon back to Bernstorff and their nurse was properly mortified on their arrival by their crum-
 One afternoon there was a tea party in the woods at Bernstorff, and the three sisters had few little girl friends with them After their tea they swung on the low boughs of the great trees and fell to taking. as children do. of what they wanted in life. Each little maid had her say. The Princess Dag ma wished to be very grand and great and have all obey her. The present Duchess of Cumberland would ask her fairy if she gave her a wish that she might be wondrously beautiful. When it came to Queen Alexandra's turn she said Well should like to be very good and have everybody love me very much."-Chicago Chronicle.

SAFE TRUSTS LOCK EXPERT

knows More About Locks and Vaults Than All Bank Robbers Combined | IF there is any man in the world that could transform himself into an efficient burglar, it is the expert on comblnations up in the office of the "safe trust" This man knows more about locks and vaults than all the bank robbers In the country. He can open safe in Boston by telephone in five minutes, ordinarily. If bank in Philadelphia loses it's combination. there is tumultuous ringing of 'phona bells in the trusts office, and the bow at the switchboard shouts wildly for the expert.
 Well, what is it?" the opener of vaults shouts into the mouthpiece his tone showing that he is accustomed to such calls. "This is the - - bank. The presidents gone home, and the cashiers sick. I'm Mr---. Give me the figures, please" The opener satisfies himself that the right man is on the other end. Then he looks up the records, if he does not happen to re- member the figures wanted. It is only matter of a few minutes before he is back at the phone, and in as many more minutes the vault in Philadelphia,
 
 is opened
 It happened the other day that a, Boston trust company was in trouble about it's combination. The safe con- cern was called up. and the lock expert was summoned to the receiver The usual request followed, but by some chance the openers good memory had forsaken him, and he had no record of the particular lock in question The Boston officials swore loudly over the wire. It was no use, though and finally they had to give it up
 Not long ago after the wire had been vacated there was another ring, and the opener found himself again in cons 'versation with the same people. This time it was a request that he come to Boston at once, hiring special trains if necessary. T can't come" he answered There's too much to dd here in office hours. I'll take the regular train Sunday"
 Argument was of no avail, and the Boston bankers had to wait. The com bination was lost on Wednesday, and for the next four days they had to bor- row all the cash they needed from other companies. The inconvenences they endured by reason of inaccessible papers may be imagined.
 This did not worry the expert, how- ever, for he knew that nobody else could fill his place as well as he, and so there was no danger of his being He had been with the safe concern for a great many years, and his imperturbability was not to be up- set by trust company's temporary He left the office at the usual time every day. had his dinner at home, and slept just as easily dur ing those four days as though there was no such things as bank safes. In speaking of the occurrence, he said:
 why didn't I go?" The idea! Do you know there are six or eight banks that lose their figures every day? It was better to leave one of them in a lurch for four days than to have them all in trouble for one day.'-New York Times.

THEIR DEMANDS REFUSED

Continued from First Page) l to have gone into effect tomorrow morning according to their note to the mill agents, but on account of the delay | in the reply the various unions repre-
 sented In the central body have not had an opportunity to express their views
 on the new aspect to the situation, so it 1 has been decided to postpone final ac l tion until the meeting Wednesday even- ing.
 | In the meantime special meetings of the unions will be held and vote will l le taken on the question of a strike. There are ten unions represented in the 1 council, aegregating forty-six delega tes. An informal vote was taken to-day, and ir Is said that three-foruths of the number present voted in favor of strik- ing, and the others reserved their de-
 c1sion for Wednesday night. The first
 union in the council to issue call for a special session tC act upon the strike question was the cotton sninners, one of the strongest textile unions in the state. The meeting will be held to- morrow night.
 The sentiment of this union as un- officially expressed by the members seems to be favorable to a repudiation Of the communication from the mill agents
 At a meeting of the trades and labor councils to-day the action of the textile council was approved.
 New Bedford, Mass, March 2s--At an executive committee meeting of the Ma T city today the principal business trans acted was to vote to authorize the Loom Fixers' union of Lowel to use its own discretion in the matter of strik- ing, the demand for an increase of wages in that city having been refused by the manufacturers.
 Lewiston, Me, March 23-At meet ing of the Mule Spinners' union this af- ternoon it was voted to demand an ad- vance in wages of 10 per cent, to go into effect March 31. thus giving the mill owners a week in which to consider the proposition. Monday evening a gen eral meeting including all union work CTS in the mills will be held and the present situation discussed. It is un- derstood that unless the demands of the mule primers are complied with a gen eral strike may follow. The local mill agents have but little to say on the matter and plead ignorance to the on foot among the textile workers They say that the wages in Fall River have nothing to do with those paid here. The following mills are involved: The Bates, Hill, Conti- mental, AndroscoggiH, Avon, Barker, employing thousands Of hands.

peculiar incident to deal with. A will was brought to be photographed, be- cause it stated something about carry- ing out secrets instructions. There was none. The lawyer was puzzled and VeXed. Then photography came into play, for the photographer discovered the will to be wrapped in blank paper that, when heated showed writing in so- called sympathetic ink. The paper was photographed and immediately became blank again. It was an amazed lawyer Who received the photograph of those secret instructions. Photographing i'm cases of personal accidents has also be- come quite feature of late years. This Is largely used in damage suits. Pa- tients are pictured in all sorts of places and in all conditions of injury. Evi- dence of that sort is used to moneyed purpose by clever lawyers
 Perhaps one of the quickest piecrs of work accomplished in this class of pho4 tography was when the pages of tho Alabama treaty brought to the pho- tographer by man who simply bpr- rowed it few moments were photos graphed. And while the camera wns working the telegraph wire was held open by sending Scriptural verses that the treaty might be sent to newspaper office for immediate publication.
 Another rush order was when thN first picture of the Marlborough baby arrived from Europe. It was known on what steamer 1t would be. That pic4 ture was copied late at night and ap4 peared in print few hours later.-New York Sun.

true. but wireless they certainly were.
 Poybius, the Greek historian, de-
 scribes telegraph system employed for
 military purposes, 300 B. C., in which
 torches were placed on high walls in
 prearranged positions, to correspond to
 letters of the Greek alphabet, and by a
 suitable manipulation of the torches messages were thus transmitted to a distance. The Gauls, too, were wont to
 transmit important intelligence to a instance by cruder but simpler meth od. A messenger was sent to the top of hill, where he shouted his message, apparently to the wings. Soon, from afar, a remote voice answered him, and this voice repeated the message to an- other listener further on, and thus, from one to another, the message sped, and 1t is recorded that in three days a Gauls to arms travelled in this way from Auvergne to the forests of Amor iea in one direction, and to the banks of the Rhine in another
 Later on came another wireless tele- graph system-the semaphore tele- graph-and this was in operation all over Europe prior to, and for some time after, the introduction of the electric telegraph. This semaphore telegraph employed arms on posts, akin to those seen to- day along every railway in the world, and certain position of the arms, like the torches in the Polybius system, corresponded to certain letters of the alphabet, and by varying the po- sition of the arms as required, experts were able to transmit messages from one station to the other at the rate of two or three words per minute. The towers on the top of which the sena- phores were erected were often fifty to sixty feet high, and were placed on eminences about six or eight miles apart In Russia alone there was string of these towers from the Prus- sian frontier to St. Petersburg, dis tance of twelve hundred miles or more. -Cassier's Magazine.

PHOTOGRAPHIC STUNTS.
Business Use of the Reproductive Art

Business Use of the Reproductive Art
 Crime.
 Business photography has become a branch of the art by itself. It helps in the punishment of crime and it is used in the business world to detect forgeries and do other work of a similar nature
 One little studio where it is carried on may be shabby, but it holds many secrets. And very frequently the tele- phone bell tinkles and the secrets are carried to court at doubleouick time, for business photography Is nasty, If it Is anything. In many cases letter, handbook billhead, or business ledger, is brought to be photographed, even while the witness is testifying on the stand. The work accomplished back to court it is hurried, and the witness is untruthful is proved so by the photo- graphs Once the books of a firm failed to show the consignment of certain goods Inspection of the books was re- fused, so the firm suing managed to get possession of the stockbook sufficiently long to have it's pages photographed, when the camera proved that the dis puted goods were not only received but sold.
 The Molineux trial was an instance in which photography did much to infiu- enee the jurors. The Fayerweather will case is another one in which photog- raphy will help to settle @ dispute for money. Enlargement of a signature clearly shows that the first half of the name is not like the latter half-the very point of law. The dying hand that wrote the trembling first half never the latter portion it is de- clared and photography is expected to be a most important factor in the set clement of that will case.

 ed under it's roof. Tradition says that it was in front of the Stone Fort that
 an Indian chief was done to death at the hands of his infuriated tribe, The
 unfortunate brave had sinned against
 the sacred laws of his race, and was
 condemned to die. He was placed ln a
 circle, where he stood like monument

 Indian custom, the death dance was
 gone through; then the most, honored

 the victim, bleeding from hundred
 wounds, was rescued by the Mexican officers.
 A little to the west of the Stone Fort stands what is known as the Red House. named in honor perhaps of Lafltte's quarters on Galveston Island, as there is nothing in it's own history to suggest its name.

LIVING A DOUBLE LIFE
SUBJECT OF ADDRESS ATT IT. c. 4
 MEETING YESTERDAY.
Delivered by Rev. Andrew B. Chalmers,
 ID. D.-SoIos by George Avis--Service

Attended by Large Audience.
 The usual meeting for men was held at the Grand Opera House yesterday afternoon with fair sized audience
 The service opened with a song ser vice led by the orchestra. George Avis rendered two bass solos, Judge Me, Oh God" and Jehovah Guide Us"
 Rev Andrew Burns Chalmers, D. D., pastor of the Grand Avenue Congrega- tional church, gave the address, speak Ing on the subject Living a Double Life" passing his remarks on Romans vii1921, for the good that l would I do not; but the evil which I would not, that do. I find then law, that when I would do good evil is present with me. "The writer of this epistle,' said pr. Chalmers, seems to recognize a dual nature in man. That there is a bad man in us we know and that there is a possible good man in us we also realize There are some men who live almost exclusively in their lower selves but all men live somewhat in their higher selves There is carnal mind and there is a spiritual mind. Do some here say that they are the victims Ol eHNlIOIHIeIll UT ueT6ully. l Say lHdl every mans will is triumphant over heredity. There is but one instance re- corded where God calls man fool and that was because the man was living in his lower life. Salvation is simply living the higher life when you might live the lower life. To be lost is to live the lower life when you might live the higher life. He that saveth his life shall lose it and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find when out eating grass with the oxen, when he looked up and realized that there was a God In heaven. than when he sat in all his power and wealth in Babylon. It was when he was humbled that he began to be a man It may be that Napoleon was a better man on that lonely island than when he stood the victorious general. Horace Tracy Pitkin, one of Yale's noblest sons, might have lived what the world would have called successful life, but in- stead he went to China and was mas sacred during the late trouble Did he count his life failure? Listen just be- fore his death he said to his wife "Pre- pare Horace (his young child) so that when he is twenty-five years of age he may come and preach the gospel to the | millions in China He lived the higher life. He might have lived the lower, such a life cannot die"
