CHICAGO Imports Her Wallets.

Employment agencies in Chicago
say they have but little call for Wallets.
There are a good many men in Chica'
90 who have such luxuries as Wallets
but according to the managers OF the
employment agencies these Wallets are
all imported either from abroad or
down east.
The nativeborn Chicago valet, or
even one supplied by Chicago agen'
cy, would be regarded as an imita
ton article. The good valet, like the
good accent, is only acquired abroad
The valet most in demand is the
English one, and masters like it best
if they can pick him for themselves
in his native heath. Part Of the JOY
of having valet is saying: Faith
full fellow. that. Picked him up my
self in England. Used to be valet for
Lord Tuppenny. Very glad, though
Of a chance to go with me. You
couldn't tempt him away."-Chicago

NOT INSANE.
The Curious Case Related of Henry
WicKs,

Medico-legal authorities have lately
been much interested in the case OF
one Henry Wicks, Wisconsin farmer,
who lived near La Crosse. In 1882,
while in a drunken frenzy, he tried
to kill himself and was sent to an
asylum as a suicidal maniac. A year
later his wife secured a divorce and
married again. Last week jury OF
physicians reported to the court that
Wicks was quite sane, and one OF the
physicians went so far as to say that
he doubted that Wicks had ever been
insane. But this same jury found that
Wicks had become so embittered
against his wife and children that he
threatened to kill them once he was
at liberty. He has no decisions con-
corning the contemplated act. He
knows that it would be a crime, and
appreciates the consequences. He is
willing to assume the responsibility
for the death of those who, he is
convinced, have done him such a great
wrong. On this account, the physi-
clans, although declaring him quite
Fundamentally and morally RESPONSE
BILE for his acts-refuse to recommend
his release. They hold that to do so
would be to open the door to murder
and the court agrees with them. So
it stands that Wicks, sane after twen-
ty-one years of confinement as mad
man, must spend the rest of his life
in an asylum, unless some way can be
found to ward against all possibility OF
his doing murder.

UNHAPPY JAMAlCANS
Thousands arc Homeless and Starv-
 ing to Death

Kingston, Jamaica. a.-There are heart rending scenes all over this island. At Port Antonio thousands of home less and starving people have sought shelter in the old prison, and the few other buildings which survived the hurricane. The railroad sheds and waiting rooms are filled with women and children. The merchants are feeding the hungry to the best of their ability, but the majority are subsist- ing on the unripe bananas knocked down by the storm. The bananas are boiled in oil cans made from the debris of destroyed buildings This is their sole food supply and it will be exhausted in nine or ten days.
 Similar conditions prevail at the seaports. In the interior the distress is equally acute. Scarcely peasants home is standing. Even the planters dwellings, which are built of stone, have been unroofed with few excep- tions.
 The homes and the belongings of the peasants have been blown away, and they are contriving rude shelters from fallen trees, palm boughs and banana leaves. Owing to the contin- ued unsettled weather with occasional torrential rains these shelters afford little protection.
 Unless immediate shipments of food stuffs comes from America, death by starvation is inevitable for many.
 The bulk of the Blue Mountain coffee has been ruined, and the pi- mento groves, which had stood for centuries, have been obliterated. It is now thought the loss on the island will reach S1, 900, 900.

CRASHES THROUGH BRIDGE
MANY PASSENGERS WERE SEVERE
 LY INJURED
Most of the Persons Hurt Were Riding in the Tourist Sleeper, Which Was Turned on Its Side in Ravne- Miraculous Escapes.

Buena Vista, Colo.-At 10 80 Friday night the Rio Grande passenger train No. l., which left Denver at 9:30 a. m., went through bridge near Nathrop, eight miles west of here, causing the injury of fourteen pas sengers, the most seriously hurt being :: Mrs. Hopkins, Albion, Ohio, bad cut in the left eye and internal injuries; Mrs. Lather, Pittsburg, face badly cut, slight internal injuries; Mrs. G.. Knapp, Milwaukee, sprained knee, badly lacerated leg; Mrs. Kapp, Mil waukee, right leg broken; Fred Brig fer, San Francicso, badly bruised about head and face. Several others were slightly injured.
 The wreck occurred on bridge weakened by the flood, which was almost a cloudburst. The first'engine of the double header passed the bridge and the second got over excepting the tender. The baggage car went through and was smashed to kindling. The baggageman jumped and was not in' jured. The smoker and chair car were turned partly over. The passengers injured were mostly in the tourist sleeper that was turned on it's side ir the ravine. The dining car and two sleepers remained on the track, and the diner was converted into a hos pital car.
 A wrecking train with number oi physicians was hurried from Buens Vista at 80 o'clock and it was mol until 315 that the injured were brought here. That many were moi killed outright was marvellous.

CASTRO WILL HAVE REVENGE
ISLANDERS GAVE AID TO VENE-
 ZUELA REBELS
If the Venezuela Presidents Plan Succeeds It Will Be a Severe Blow to the Dutch and English Merchants on the Islands.

New York-President Castro of Venezuela, it is reported in this city, is formulating plans to take away the trade of the islands of Curacoa and Trinidad, because of the aid given by them to the recent insurrection against the Venezuelan government. The British and Dutch islands live in great degree on their trade with Ven ezuela, being ports of reshipment for American and European merchandise.
 This trade, it is understood, Presi- dent Castro wilt endeavor to divert to Venezuelan ports. The reshipment of goods from here is done because of lack of facilities to reach some of the small Venezuelan ports direct. This volume of trade requires the use Of many warehouses, lighters and trucks, and makes Trinidad and Curacao calling ports for many steamers which otherwise would not stop there. The decree which is soon expected from President Castro will have the effect of placing a check on the wholesale smuggling that is now notoriously carried on between the islands and the small ports of Venezuela.
 In his administration President Guzman Blanco issued decree plac- ing an additional duty of 30 per cent on all goods rcshipped at Curacao or Trinidad. These West Indian islands always have been the headquarters of Venezuelan and Colombia exiles and rebels. While the recently sup pressed instruction was being waged against the Castro regime, filibuster- ing expeditions of men and arms are said to have been permitted to depart without word of protest.

Good News for Farmers

San Francisco-According to the re- port of the state board of trade just filed the California grain crop, now almost completely harvested, will ag- gregate materially less than an aver age, and while on the whole the hay crop is short the amount realized to the growers by reason of the better prices will be greater than an average. Though falling short O. the big crop of 1902. the fruit output will compare favorably with other years, and be- cause of it's excellent quality will command larger prices. Grape, hop and beet crops promise we'll.

RELIEF EXPEDITION SENT OUT
Powerful Whaler Going to Find the
 Discovery

London-Aloft and below a big squad of workmen are employed in fitting out the Terra Nova, which is the most powerful whaler afioat, and is now preparing at Dundee to start for her important mission of relieving the Discovery in the Antarctic re- gions. The expedition is noteworthy in many respects. The government, at price approaching 20, GOO pounds, has purchased the Terra Nova, from Messrs. c. T. Bowring X Co.,, Linn ited, Liverpool, on the understanding that the firm have the option of re- purchasing when the vessel has full filled her mission.
 The Terra Nova, which was launched in 1885, is 187 feet in length, has 31 feet of beam, in depth of hold meas nres 19 feet, and is of 450 net and 744 gross tonnage, with engine of 12O horsepower. Built of oak and forti- fled with greenhart and iron bark, the shipls side through the framing has a mean thickness of 23 inches. Captain Harry Mckay, who has been appointed to the command, is an Arctic navi- gator of skill, courage and resource. In her whaler days he commanded the Terra Nova, and as captain of the Aurora, launched from the same yard, he holds a record in whale catching.
 He it was that discovered the traces of the ill-fated expedition organized by Bjorling and Kalstennius, and, fol his exertions in seeking to elucidate the mystery which surrounds the death of these explorers on the far. away Carey Islands, official recogni tion was made by the Swedish nation.

Panama-The last news from Bogota is not favorable to the ratification of the canal treaty.

The friends of the canal hope that former President Caro, one of the leaders of the oppo- sition to the government and an oppo- nent to the treaty may again drag the question into politics, in the belief that such a move would eventually compel .the senate, when the vote is reported, to divide on the lines of support or opposition to the Egovern- ment.
