MORGAN'S PRESTIGE IS
 NOW SOMEWHAT DIMMED

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 It must be admitted that the prestige of the great and only Morgan Is getting somewhat dimmed. His sensational ap- pearance as the creator ana promoter of vast industrial combinations was made in an suspicious season. It occurred at time of extraordinary prosperity, when the country having made wonderfully rapid recovery from the prostration pro- duced by four years of democratic as- tendency. was feeling the full impulse to- wards progress and energetic activity which followed the speedy and triumphant conclusion of the war with Spain The American people had suddenly become conscious of their strength, and with en- thusiastic confidence they were pressing forward to other and different eonqnests. It was then that Mr. Morgan came to the front as the incarnation of the new spirit and the embodiment of the new methods
 He was quick to take advantage of that tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the full, leads on to fortune, and much of the success for which he received the praise was due to the operation of forces beyond his or any mans control, but which he. more than any other. had known how to measure and to utilize He launched his fortunes upon the crest of the wave, and as it moved still onward and upward an observant and admirlng public credited him with greater power than he possessed and either overlooked or underrated the immense importance of the favorable combination of exceptional circumstances from which ha had Lnnwn so well how to profit As there Is noth-

THE WORLDS BIGGEST TREE.
Nlnety-eight Feet Ten Inches Around
 and 300 Feet High.

 From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 One evening five or six weeks ago Richard D. Williams of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads, George Lee of the Rock Island railroad company, Charles F. Daly of the Lake Shore, and Max Bowman of the Erie were dining together in a downtown cafe and spleiRg the meal with a series of railroad yarns. Daly told a fish story that was whopper and that stumped his two companions for a while. Then Bowman came back with a bear story that would have done credit to Munchausen.
 Well, I'm not telling any bear or fish stories, said Williams a minutes later, but I can tell you fellows few things about big trees 1 know you don't believe all you hear about the giant redwoods, even if you have seen them. Do you know that the Grizzly Giant redwood con- tains enough lumber to build box that would encase the Masonic temples"
 Daly, Lee and Bowman laughed.
 Williams turned red and added, "wel that's right"
 Why, man, 1t would take a dozen of those big trees to furnish enough lum- Der for that purpose" said Daily.
 "A dozen?" exclaimed Williams No sir; nor half the number One will do 1t. Why. the Grizzly Giant is more than eighty feet in circumference and three hundfe ed feet high"
 The three doubtless laughed again.

GOSSIP FROM NEW YORK Jerome's Effo-t Dscredit Tammsny Hall and to
 Give Living Picture Exhibits of Fusion Strenuousness
BY JOHN MARTHoL.

New York. July 4.-(Speclal.) )-Indi vid- uals interested in the struggles for polit- ical spells or preferment are now busy in the political fields haymaking District Attorney Jerome with two unexpired years of his term from January next before him holds the chief rake In the hayheld. Elected on the fusion ticket as an inde- pendent democrat his personal interests would be best served by the downfall of Tammany and the ascendency of the democracy of Greater New York Prior to the election of Mayor Low, Mir. Jerome filled the public eye with vision of him- self as justice who personally conducted raids against gambling houses and pool rooms. He became rieture sque fgure in the columns of the daily press; and when during the campaign he took to the stump he became one of the strongest advocates for fusion. Since his election MT. Jerome has kept well to the front. At first Police Commissioner Partridge Jagged in the pace. but later he was sue eeeded by Greene, who is as strenuous as Jerome himself
 Under MT. Jerome the office of the dis trict attorney has become an effective po- litical weapon. It can with the assist ance of the commissioner of police or without produce effects so weird, so pie turesque and dazzling that the general public is startled and amazed. It is evil dent that 1t is the intention of those ar- ranging these pictures to prove not only the vigilance of the present administra- ton. but to demonstrate the importance of containing the administration in office. Two things are aimed at-a demonstra- tion of the vigilance of the present ad- ministraton and the worthlessness of Tammany. The former is accomplished by raids, the latter by attacking Charles Murphy, late dock commissioner, and at present boss of Tammany Hall.
 Tn the attempt to prove the value of the present administration, a condition is presented which sounds more suitable to

ing that succeeds like success, each fresh achievement prepared the way for some other, until the community began to think that to his intelligent audacity to his genius for organization and to the colos- sal resources which he commanded, or seemed to command, nothing was m- possible.
 It was a natural estimate. but hardly a discriminating one It failed to take due account of the extent to which MT. Nor gan in his vast undertakings had been helped by the conditions under which he worked. Moreover, it took altogether too much for granted IL assumed success where there was only experiment. It hailed victories which had not yet been won. and congratulated as a victor the leader of a struggle which was still pro- ceeding. Ascriblng too much to MT. Mor- gan's abilities, it expected more from him than was just or fair or reasonable and when the reaction came. as 1t was bound to come, it's violence was proportioned to the minimizing confidence by which It had been preceded Thus. while the name of Morgan is still one to conjure with. while his presence or absence In New York is still factor of the financial sltu- ation, the old Idea that he dominated the course of affairs at hls pleasure and yielded a power superior to the laws of trade has been pretty well dissipated.
 MT. Morgan is great man of business. but he cannot make something out of nothing and he cannot create values by shuffling the cards. Things will settle themselves after while and the tribute that belongs to the representative trust maker will be duly paid.
 In the meantime the public Is bain1 furnished with some object lessons in hu- man limitations which have brought the Morgan prestige under a cloud

STOLE CATTLE BY THOUSANDS.
A cowboys' Secret Organization That
 Controls South Dakota County.

From the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
 The Circle" a secret organization of cattle and horse rustlers who have footed Lyman, Pratt and Presbo counties of 100000 cattle and killed forty men in twen- ty years, has been exposed in confessions of members of the society just arrested by Detective c. H. Wi1Iie
 In the days when South Dakota was young, Jack Sully. a tall red mus tached man. came to the Dakotas. He built his hut on a high hill and gathered twenty-five confederates about him. Of ficers always found the place deserted and berry piclzers were warned away by bullets at their feet. Two Nelson boys, Olaf and Charles, came few years later and settled on opposit sides of the range country.
 About these small beginnings the Circle society was built. and now its members number nearly 1000. The members were sworn to loyalty in blood drawn from their own arms. They were pledged to stop prosecution even at the cost of life. John Bathine, county attorney, the only man who has dared to prosecute them, woke up one night with his house burn ing over his head. He has been shot at repeatedly. Last fall "Jack'' Suly was
  kill Pete" Waugh, a dissatisfied victim He escaped however aided by his power full allies. Sully has killed seven men, in cluding his father. One of the few mur- ders for which the gang was successful- ly. held responsible was that of Mat Matson, homesteader, whose only of. fense was to settle opposite Phelps is land, in the line of the cattle drive.
 The Circle is known to have included many supposedly respectable ranchmen, who were always lined up with the rust lers in political fights. So widespread was the influence of the Circle that for years, until last fall, they controlled rearly all the country offices. Olaf Nell son, one of the leaders, was elected by his gang Their power and desperate meth ods terrorized opposition, and 1t was not until Wilkie, hired by the State Stock mems association, disguised as a ruster, was admitted to the secrets, that the gang was brought to bay The plan was to steal a bunch of cattle or horse and drive to the place of the nearest mem bers where the brands were worked over and the stock was passed on from mem- Der to member. If caught they would re- fer the officer to Indians, who would re- fer the officers to others, till the trail was lost If hard pushed the stolen stock would be sent over the line of the Rose bud reservation and taken in charge by Indians
 There were many confederates among the Sioux. led by Joe Blackbird. If mem- bers of the gang were really threatened with prosecution they would flee to the Bad lands to the west, where pursuit was impossible. Of late years they have han dIed as much as 100000 head of cattle and 100o0 horses. Even now 1t will take a desperate fight to overcome the polit- ical influence of the gang and send its members to prison.

blood, and to attempt cure by exter- nal treatment is an endless, hopeless task. Some simple wash or ointment is often beneficial when the skin is much unframed or itches but you cant depend upon local remedies for perma- nent relief, for the blood is continually throwing off impurities which irritate and clog the glands and pores of the skin, and as long as the blood re- mains unhealthy, just so long will the eruptions last. To cffectually and per manently cure skin troubles the blood must be purified and the system thoroughly cleansed and built up, and S. s. S., the well known blood purifier and tonic, is acknowledged superior to all other remedies for this purpose. It is the only guaranteed strictly vegeta- ble blood remedy.

The Pennsylvania railroad tunnel under the Hudson Is magnificent. but the money to dig the thing out Is not yet in sight, except on paper Under present condi- tions 1t is vain to appeal to Wall street. The fact is Wall street does not subscribe to anything it's own money. When 1t goes into anything 1t is with other peo- ple's money on which 1t charges promo ters fees and commissions. That is it's business. Popular credulity is its only stock in trade. but it is hard to make peo- pie understand 1t until they get on the wrong side of the game, as they do soon- CT or later The only way to win in Wall street is to buy at the right time for keeps and hold on to what you buy

Numerous references to my uni.
que occupation lead me to infer that
IL might be well to place on record a
short history of my work with the
public press.
In my early experience as a Chris.
tlan Scientist, I noted that Christian
Science was being somewhat dis
cussed in the periodicals of our coun-
try. Much that was written per-
tanning to the subject was produced
by those who were ill-1nformed and
gave a WRONG impression of its teach
ing. The effect of this was to belit-
lie the Science, to hide its real mis-
sion and distort its meaning into a
ridiculous, senseleless and unscien-
tifc philosophy.
Having been greatly benefited

moral, mental and physical uplift-

should receive the same benefits

were watching and waiting for the
unlveraI panacea which this Science
affords, and it seemed to me almost
criminal that it should be so stated
publicly as to delay it's universal |
acceptance. |
L was confident that most of these !
criticisms were honestly made and
were not, as a rule, prompted by a
vicious determination to misrepre-
SEM it, but were due to misappre-
tensions.
