The rivers flowed with milk and wine, and honey dropped from the boughs of the oaks. This is what is called the Golden Age" After this came the declining Silver Age" Then the savage Bronze Age" and next the murderous Iron Age" followed by the flood of Deucalion.
 In Milton's hymn on the nativity of Christ he holds us entranced for awhile with the music of the angels and the spheres, and then arrests our fixed atten- tion by saying For if such holy song enwrap our fancy long. time will run back and fetch the age of gold"

ASH FOR ACTION

GReSS.
PROMPT Rtlltf FOR fIllPlNOS
necessity FOR PASSAGE OF
TARIFF REDUCTION BILL
URGENT.
GOV. IAf' MAKfS $ eng PLEA
PRESIDENT URGES ACTION AS
A MEASURE OF HU.
MAINLY.

Washington, March 2. - President
Roosevelt yesterday sent a message to
congress urging action on the bill pro-
viding for tariff reduction. The presi.
dent says:
81 have just received a cable from
Gov. TAFT which runs as follows:
Necessity for the passage of the
house tariff bill is most urgent. The
conditions of the productive industry
and business is considerably worse
than in. November, the date of the last
report, and is growing worse each
month. There is some revival in
sugar and tobacco prices, due to ex-
pectation OF a tariff law. The inter-
ests Of Filipinos in sugar and tobacco
are extensive and the failure of the
bill will be blow in the face of those
interests. A number of tobacco fac
tories will have TO close and many
sugar plantations will be put up for
rass. Customs receipts have fallen off
this month one.third, showing the de-
crease OF the purchasing power of the
islands. General business is stagnant.
All political parties. including labor
unions, are most strenuous in the pc
tition for the tariff bill. The effect of
its failure very discouraging.
The president reviews the condi-
tons on the islands, which he says
give grounds for grave fears of
famine, and urges that the matter re-
ceive the immediate attention of con-
gress, and that the relief prayed for be
granted. The president says:
81 ask action in the tariff matter,
not merely from the standpoint of
wise governmental policy, but as
measure of humanity IN response to
an appeal to which this great people
should not close its ears.
I'VE have assumed responsibilities
toward the Philippine islands which
we are in honor bound to fulfill. A
permanent basis Of future prosperity
can be assured II the economic Tela-
tons of the islands with the United
States are put upon a satisfactory
basis"

LET REVIEWING HIS

Rome, March 3.-Dr. Lapponi, the
pope's physician, made yesterday
morning a last effort to induce his
holiness to renounce his reception Of
the cardinals. He demonstrated with
him, saying: Your holiness, my duty
is to point out that your health would
greatly benefit by your resting to-day"
The pope replied, "My dear doctor, be-
fore your valuable advice comes my
duty, which | shall perform until the
end"
The audience was held in the pore's
private library, and Leo Kill spoke
continuously for half an hour with the
forty-two cardinals present. No ad.
dress was delivered and the most i'm.
portant words were when the pontiE
referred with emphasis to his ad.

was led to speak thereof in reminding
the cardinals that the room in which

seemed to have acquired strength

TEARS IN HIS EYES.
Alfred Knapp for the First Time Ex'
presses Some Remorse.


Hamilton, Ohio, March 3. - Alfred
Knapp was yesterday visited by Her
man Littleman of Cincinnati, father OF
little Emma Littleman, the victim OF
Knapp's first murder in Cincinnati.
Littleman was unable TO identity
Knapp as any man who he had ever
seen or known. The most Significant
feature of the interview was the TACT
that for the first time Knapp eX'
pressed some remorse and showed
signs of breaking down before the en-
ragged father. Littleman stood out
side the cell, and after he had looked
at Knapp, said:
81 have never seen the man before.
do not care to look at him any
more"
Knapp said: 81 am just as sorry as
can be that little Emma is dead. She
had hair and eyes like yours"
Knapp Sheds Tears.
AS Iittleman turned away tears
stood in Knapps eyes. This was his
first demonstration in that way.
In the few months Knapp lived in
Hamilton he showed vicious tenden-
cies. w. B. Carr, who employed
Knapp, says Knapp one day while at
work on the third floor OF the mill saw
a nice young woman, accompanied by
lady, passing in the street. He had
a large chisel in his hand, which he
hurled at the couple, although he
knew them not. Later he attempted
to kill an unknown passing woman by
hurling a large chunk of iron out Of
the window.
Cincinnati, March 3.-Since it has
been determined to arraign Alfred A.
Knapp at Hamilton to-day, call a spe-
cial jury there and have a trial as
soon as possible for the murder of
Hannah Goddard, wife No. 8, the eff
forts of the city and county officials
here have not been relaxed in securing
evidence regarding the murders of
Emma Littleman, Mary Eckhart and
Jennie Connors, wife No. 2, the three
crimes which Knapp confessed to
committing in Cincinnati.
The Knapp family all agree in their
statements as to Alfred being insane,
but they differ in other matters. His
father says Alfred will be better off
dead than alive, but his mother wor-
ries over such an ending. His broth.
eT, Cyrus, and his sister, Mrs. Wenzel,
are doing all they can for defense,
and have created much sympathy in
the neighborhood for the aged parents
and the Knapp home was thronged
yesterday with visitors and filed with
lowers.

BATTERED BY THE STORM.
Many Vessels Suffer Damage From
Violent Gale.

NIOlenI SdIcs
London, March 8. - The gale was
renewed in the British Isles Saturday
night and continued yesterday, but
with less violence. Vessels are still
taking refuge in the ports, arriving
battered by the storm. Others have
gone ashore. A quantity of wreckage
has been seen off the coast of North
cumberland and the indications point
to the wreck of the British ship Cam
brian Prince, Capt. Owens, Coquimbo,
for Middlesborough, which called at
Queenstown Feb. IL.
Later news from the South of Ire
land shows that the gale was exceed
lngly fierce. Many storm-bCaten YES
sells have taken shelter in Cork har-
Dor. The British steamer Pharsalia
went through a terrible experience.
She left Boston Jan. 80 for Leith, call
ing at st. John, N. B. The hurricane
struck her Feb. "a, and the heavy
seas flooded her hold, damaged her
cargo, smashed the bridge and almost
all the deck fittings, stove in the boats
and swept the pinnacle overheard.
The captains ribs were broken and
several of the crew were injured. The
Pharsalia was obliged to put into
Queenstown. The British steamer
Cebrania, Capt. Evans, London ard
The Tyne Feb. 13, for Boston, also put
back to Queenstown, after being sew
enteen days at sea. She only got 700
miles west of Ireland, and experienced
repeated hurricanes. The decks were
swept of everything movable and the
boats damaged. The captain thought
the steamer would never weather the
storm.
