BRUTES GIVEN TO DRINK.
Many Animals Become intoxicated on
Natures Beverages.

Although it has often been said.
when speaking of drunkenness, that
even the beasts of the field do not get
i drunk, it is nevertheless fact that a
great many animals do get intoxicated.
Take the elephant for instance. He
is particularly fond of the fruit of the
Unganu tree, and although he appears
to have some idea that it is not good
for him he will go on eating when he
has once begun until he is wildly ex-
cited and so intoxicated that he will
stagger from side to side. Every now
and then he will pull himself up, shake
his huge head and tear madIy through
the forest trumpeting at the top of his
voice and terrifying every living
creature.
1t is said that he will even dare and
defy his most dreaded enemy. the
tiger, when in this condition. but we
have no means Of verifying this. It is
well known, however, that an ele.
plant is in a most dangerous condi.
ton when suffering from the effects of
eating this beautiful fruit, and all
who can take care to keep out of his
way as much as possible.
The sloth bear is another animal
given to this failing. The natives OF
India are in the habit of hanging little
vessels on the palm trees for the pur-
pose Of catching the juice This Juice
is so attractive to the sloth bear that,
although such a poor climber. he will
scramble up and go on drinking the
juice until he is 50 drunk that he can
only slip helplessly to the ground and
lie there in a drunken stupor until the |
effects have passed of.
But the sloth bear Is not the only
animal who is so partial to this Juice

President Roosevelt is a man of

he has committed most grievous err
ror in forcing to the front an issue
which must be deplored by all the con-

in it's wake lamentable results and

LABOR UNION DELEGATE FOUND
GUILTY OF ExToRTIoN.
GLARES DEFIANCE AT JURY
Twelve Men Take Only Twelve Min,
utes to Render Ierdict-Extorted
$500 from Tiffany-Second New
York Conviction for the Union
Labor HoId-up Man.

New York, Oct. S1.-For the second
time within two months Sam ]. Parks,
walking delegate of the housesmiths
and bridgemen's union, was convicted
of extortion yesterday afternoon. 1t
took the jury II minutes during which
time they took two ballots, to agree on
the guilt of Parks in extorting $500
from Tiffany Studios, firm of con-
tractors, under threat of keeping them
from continuing work on buildings last
January. IL was shown at the trial
that Parks had obtained $500 from tn.
Tiffany firm as an Initiation" fee last
January, when the housesmiths ano
bridgemen were on a strike on three
of the Tiffany contracts in this city.
Parks claimed that this money was a
fine levied by his union.
Later facts developed that Parks had
been disloyal to the union inasmuch as
he permitted the Tiffany firm to EN-,
ploy nonunion men after having re.
ceived the $500. This accusation was
not denied by the defendant during the
trial, but his attorneys, contended that
Parks had given the money to the
treasurer of his organization and the
entire transaction was a business deal
which, instead of being a crime, af-
forded considerable business advan-
tages to the firm which paid the money.
In his charge Judge Newberger said
that it made no difference what dispo,
sitioh Parks made of the money after
he had obtained it from a representa-.
tive of the Tiffany firm, if, in the belief
OF the jurymen he had obtained it un-
der threat, direct or implied, as that
fact would constitute extortion, the
crime charged against the prisoner.
When the jury was polled and the
verdict rendered, Parks glared at the
jurymen with the same look of defiance
which he maintained during this, as
well as his previous trial. He was re-
manded for sentence. Parks is now
awaiting the decision of the higher
courts on writ of error, having been
sentenced after his first trial to term
OF not less than two and hall nor
more than three and half years in
Sing Sing prison. The charge on which
his former conviction was secured
was also extortion

longs for ice. Without it she is in
mortal misery, a half-crazed creature,
and only when the cool fragments of
the frozen liquid are slipped down hUr
throat is she satisfied. If she is denied
ice her actions and symptoms are SIM
liar to one addicted to the use Of
morphine and she will do anything TO
secure ice. Otherwise she is, so far
as can be discovered, a perfectly nor
NAL and healthy young woman.
Beginning with small bits Of ice,
which she held in her mouth till
melted, the young woman has gradu-
ally increased the quantity consumed
each day until now she requires the
startling amount of from fifteen to
twenty pounds. This great mass of
frozen liquid is her present daily allow
ance and but barely satisfies her. She
thinks she could devour more, but
since she has been compelled to pay
for the ice she has tried to cut down
the quantity consumed.
When the employer of the girl dis
covered the cause of the increase in
his ice bill he naturally was much
astonished, but not desiring to keep up
a human ice chest he informed the
girl that she must pay for her own ice
or quit eating it. She promptly agreed
to pay for it, saying that she would
rather die than do without it.
So far as she knows there have as
yet developed no other ill effects than
the swelling of the face, hands and
feet. These are pulled and fiabby, a
condition which possibly is due to the
ammonia in the manufactured ice
which she consumes. This swelling
continues all the while she uses the
ice, but when she abandons the habit
for day it disappears. She suffers
no pain, and so long as she has as
much ice as she wants seems to be
perfectly happy.

Ohio Girl Devours as Much of the

perienced an inordinate craving for
something cold and nothing seemed to
satisfy this desire but ice, and that
but temporarily. AS time passed she
found that it required more of the
frozen stuff to satisfy her, and as she
went about her work she kept a vessel
of cracked ice within her reach. Now
she cannot do without it. She is an
ice fiend. As the. Hindoo longs for

CAPABLE AND POPULAR PASTOR.
Fills Rhode Island Pulpit to the Sat
isfaction of Everybody.

There are more women preachers in
the Unitarian church than in all others
combined. That denomination is not
only liberal in it's theology, but is like
wise far in the lead in according to the
fair sex the measure of equality that
has been the dream of reformers for
centuries. A number of Unitarian pull
pits in New England are filed by wo-
men who perform all the duties of the
parish to the satisfaction of both the
men and the women of the church.
One of the most noted of these wo-
men divines is Rev. Anna Garlin
Spencer of Providence, r. l. She is
native of Attlebore, Mass, but her
ancestors on her mothers side came to
America S early as the year 1888.
Mrs. Spencer received her education in
New England and taught in Provi-
dence two years before she was 20
years of age, and she began speaking
in public or religious, educational and
philanthropic topics when she was but
10 years of age, and she filled the pull
pits of the Free Religious society of
Providence and the Parker Memorial
of Boston.
She was bred to the Trinitarian Con-
gregational form of worship and be-
lief and was member of the church
at the age of II years. Her ideas and
convictions underwent radical
change bewteen the ages of IL and "a
years and she finally forsook the faith

of the National Free Religious asso-
citation. IN 1878 she married a Uni
tartan minister Rev. William H.
Spencer, and she became associated
with him in the work of the ministry
in Haverhill and later in Troy, N. Y.
Fourteen years ago James Eddy of
Providence died, leaving a beqGast
for religious and moral purposes" to
be administered at the Bell Street Uni
tartan chapel, and Mrs Spencer was
asked to take charge of the work to
be done under the conditions of this
bequest. She was ordained as a min
lister twelve years ago and since that
time she has served the chapel as it's
minister
That Mrs. Spencer is a many-sided
woman is evidenced by the fact that
she has been an officer in the New
England Woman Suffrage association,
a member of the Rhode Island W. G.
T. u, member of the executive COM
mittee of the Unitarian Church Tenn
perance society and president of the
local Council of Women of Rhode Is
land. She was one of the speakers
at the worlds parliament of religions
and was one of the founders of the
Liberal Congress of Religions.
In addition to her work on the plat
form, Mrs. Spencer has been a fire.
quent contributor to many of the
most important publications of the
day, and, with the single exception of
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, she is the only
woman speaker in the list of thirty
speakers to take part in the Emerson
centennial under the direction of the
Free Religious Association of America.

TO GET THE RIGHT LIGHT.
Building Erected for the Purpose of
Experimenting with Shadows.

Boston, Nov. 1.-The building erect
ed at a cost Of $4,000 on the site of
the proposed Boston Museum of Fine
Arts, for the purpose of experimenting
with different systems of lighting, will
be ready for duty in a few days.
This remarkable building, which is
the only one of its kind In the world
has high apertures eighteen feet in
length on all sides In these apertures
windows are to be placed. A triangu-
larshaped skylight surmounts the
roof. The floor is in two sections.
Either one may be raised or lowered
as the different light experiments de-
mand. Shutters at all the windows
will regulate the diffusion of light In
the skylight different kinds Of glass
will regulate the diffusion of light
In the skylight different kinds of glass
will be introduced at different times to
regulate the number and strength of
the rays.
The building Is so constructed that
it can be turned so that the rays of
light will strike the objects in the
house from different directions. The
experiments are to determine under
which conditions, both as to shape
and location, the galleries may be the
most scientifically constructed for the
best light effects.

miles east of this city, and, breaking
down the steel bridge, the engine and

of the creek. Thirty or more trainmen
and passengers were injured and that
none were killed outright is regarded
as almost miraculous.
The train was running 80 miles an
hour At the west end bridge across
the Apishapo creek, between Manga
nola and Fowler, the rails spread, de-
railing the engine. The extraordinary
strain put Oh the bridge caused the
structure to collaps. and the engine.

down to the bed of the creek. Forum
ately little water was running in the
creek at the time One Pullman
stopped with the forward end project
ing over the embankment The bank
ers' car was the only one not derailed.
The cars were not badly broken up.
and all the injured were taken out be-
fore the relief trains arrived None
were fatally injured and very few
seriously hurt.
Investigation showed that spikes
had been pulled from three rails The
motive of the wreckers is a mystery ),
as no robbery was attempted. The
bridge was inspected last week and

TEACHERS WERE RETAINED
Same Corps as Served Last
Year viii Teach

The directors of the Winnemucca
school district met last evening to con-
slider the applications for the posi-
tions of teachers in the school for the
coming year. There were no new
teachers chosen, the board being salts
fed that no more satisfactory instruc-
tors could be secured than the able
and efficient corps who now have the
destinies of the young in this city SO
we'll in. hand The personnel of the
corps for next year is: Miss Laura
Smith, assistant principal; Miss lisa
Wright, Miss Mamie Wolf, Miss Clara
McGonagle. The department of music
will again be in Mrs. A. E. Lothrop's s
care.
The choice of principal was left for
a later date, in order to give the board
time to look into the qualifications OF
every applicant and make the best
choice. This matter will probably not
De decided for month.
The report of the clerk showed that
the funds in the keeping of the board
nave been wisely administered. There
is now about $4,000 in the treasury, a
sum fully as large as was on hand o
year ago, yet in this time the expen-
ditures absolutely necessary have been
increased. An extra teacher, the as
sistant principal, has been employed
at salary of SIS month. The as
sembly room of the school building
nas been partitioned off, new black
boards have been put in and old ones
repaired, the roof of the building has
Deen tarred, and numerour other nee
essary expenditures made, all of which
nave added to the efficiency of the
school or the value of the property.
In addition to the sum now on
aand and in the treasury, the county
apportionment made today will give
the district s1,670.32, and the appor.
,ionment to come from the state will

OF Walter Dunn of Tonopah by one
smith on the afternoon of July 4th.
While the rock drilling contest was
.aking place Smith was sharpening
Irills and the drill broke in the rock.
Dunn said that if the drills had been
sharpened right he would have won
lis bet on the contest.
This brought on a fight in which
Dunn was successful. They met later
IN the day and Dunn once more
thrashed Smith. Still later they met
and Smith used knife on Dunn with
40tal results.
A deputy sheriff, who tried to stop
the row, was stabbed by Smith. The
knife struck rib and the officer was
not seriously injured.
Smith was spirited away to Bel
mont to prevent lynching.
