BROWNING,S VOICE.
Record Placed ON Phorograph CylIn.
der Carefully Preserves in,
British Musemm. g

The news that Andrew Carnegie has
provided funds for, the collection of
photographic records of American IN
dams voices has recalled the fact that
the words and tones of Browning hav
been preserved. In the British muse
UNI, carefully treasured, is a. cylinder
into which b. spoke some time before
his death.
Some ten or a dozen years ago there
was gathering of notab1es at the
Chelsea residence of the late Rev. Haw-
els, to hear the instrument give back
the voice of the dead poet.
It was quite an affecting little cere-
mony, and when the great singers
words had been heard and reheard the
cylinder was carefully packed up and
sent to the nations storehouse of
treasures.
Plan to Honor Reecher's Memory.
In connection with the plan to re-
move Henry Ward, Beecher's body to
Plymouth church. in Brooklyn. and
erect memorial building adjoining
the church, it has been suggested that
the entire half block to the west Of
the church be purchased RACED Of its
buildings,sand converted into a,breath-
ing place for the poor along the water
front, und er the name of Beecher Park.
It is thought that the property could
be secured for about 100000, and the
idea is receiving serious con sid Grafton.

RECIPROCITY URGED.
Recommendations Made by the NatioaAl
Board Of Trade to Congress-Rs-
ports of Committees,

Washington, Jan. 16.-The thirty
third annual convention Of the Ma
tional Board Of Trade came to an
end yesterday. The president re-
ceived q number of the delegates in
the forenoon. The question Of reci-
procity was probably the most i'm
portant topic introduced yesterday.
It was brought TO the attention Of
the board by the report of the COM
mittee on reciprocity, through Act
ing Chairman Nathan French, of the
Illinois Manufacturing association.
The report favors better trade rela-
tions with other nations, through
such adjustments and concessions as
may be deemed mutually advantage
GUS. It urges legislation on the pres
emit national congress regarding re-
ciprocal trade relations along the
lines laid down by the late President
Mckinley in his last address at Buff
falo and President Roosevelt in his
recent message, to congress, includ-
ing the ratification Of the treaty
with France and the other treaties
negotiated under the administration
Of President Mckinley now pending
in the senate; and further urges the
negotiation Of treaties on the same
line with Germany and other coun-
tries. The Cuban reciprocity treaty
is Endorsed and the administration
and congress Is urged to establish
more favorable relations with Can
ada as, the report says, man for
man, the Canadian people are the
best foreign customers that the
United States possess. The report
was adopted.
Mr.. Lane said experience had shown
that adversely usually follows pros
perity, and he said he looked forward
to Q very great panic, the greatest
ever known, because of the expansion
we have had" He considered reci-
proGty Of unreasonable benefit to
the country at large.
The report Of the committee on
immigration laws, submitted by g.
Waldo Smith, Of New York, was
adopted. tt urged on congress the
Of prompt and favorable
action to prohibit undesirable immi-
grafton by means Of such educational
tests as might seem best adapted to
that end and also favored more
stringent naturalization law.
A. T. Anderson, for the committee
On postal affairs, submitted a report,
urging ON congress the prompt adop-
lion of a universal one-cent domes-
lie letter postage. The report was

ST LOUIS DOODLE CASE.


st. Louis, Jan. 16.-The case of
Charles F. Kelly, former speaker of
the house of delegates, charged with
perjury in connection with the Su-
burban railway franchise deal, was
called for trial yesterday in Judge
Ryan's court. A venire of so special
jurors from which to select 10 to
serve In the case has been summoned
by the sheriff. Kelly fed from the
city the day the Indictment was
found against him by the grand jury
and remained in Europe several
weeks. He returned after the death
Of his child and was arrested in
Philadelphia. A motion was made by
attorneys for the defense to quash
the Indictment and this was argued
at length but overruled. A motion
was then made to quash the special
venire. The objection upon which
was based the motion to quash the
venire was that the 90 veniremen were
all eognisant of Kelly's fight. The
motion was sustained and new ven
ire ordered. The court then i'd
journed until this morning.

ST. Louis, Jan. H.--After two days
q Jury was finally secured yesterday
afternoon for the trial of Charles n
Kelly, former speaker Of the house
Of delegates, on the charge Of brib-
cry. KelIy's attorneys made q mo
ton for o change of venue from 81,
Louis, but the motion was overruled
and the trial ordered to proceed.
The taking Of testimony was begun
late yesterday afternoon. In the
testimony Of Maurice Hory, deputy
circuit clerk, the defense raised an
objection that the record was not
admissible as evidence. as II had not
been signed by the presiding judge,
Seldom p. Spencer.
Judge Ryan announced that he
would rule on the objection later ON.
II the court sustains the objection
1t will be telling point for the de-
Tense, as II will invalidate the action
of the December, 1902, grand jury
and render void every Indictment re-
turned by that body.
Circuit Attorney Folk declares that
the omission Of the signature Of the
presiding judges name to the record
does not invalidate the record. He
declares the supreme court has SO
decided on several occasions. t

JOIN THE CROWD.

The new Northwest is increasing
from immigration, by 200, people
yearly. This region offers field for
farmers, stock raisers, miners, lum-
bermen, millers, fruit growers, and all
classes Of labor. The Cody-Wyoming
extension into the Big Horn Region
offers splendid opening for the live
stock and wool business and for farm
ing by irrigation.
The Industrial expansion that is
now the basis Of wealth in the East,
will be repealed in the Northwest.
