GOT A CHECK FOR $1,000
Ex-Lieut. Gov. Lee Of Missouri Ex-
plains How Havemeyer Paid
Him That Sum.

jefferson City, Mo-, Nov. 5.-Ex-
Lieutenant Governor Lee resumed the
stand to-day in the trial Of State SEN
ator Frank Farris, charged with bood-
ling and told Of receiving a $1,000
check from Havemeyer, the sugar
.magnate, in 1902.
did you ask Kelley (the baking
powder lobbyist) to see Havemeyer
and ask him to contribute to your cam
paign fund.-" was asked Of Mr.. Lee.
IT think did," he answered.
Wasn't the $1,000 from the sugar
trust a contribution to your campaign
fund ?"
"It was not"
Mr.. Lee, in answer to a question,
said: 1.-The session Of congress prior
to July, 1902, considered legislation re-
garding the duty on raw sugar. I was
running a grocers' paper. I was en-
deavoring to get Advertising for my
paper. I wrote letters to congressman
and others getting their opinions on
the reduction of 2 cents a pound of
the duty on raw sugar. I had their
letters printed in pamphlet form and
distributed them. The $1,000 check
from Mr.. Havemeyer was in payment

BOUNDARY NOT
YET SETTLED
Alaskan Award Leaves a. Strip of
40 Miles in Dispute, Tho Land
Is Worthless.

+ Washington, Nov. 5.-An important
fact in connection with the recent de-
liberations Of the Alaskan boundary
tribunal appeared to-day, when 1t be-,
came known that a stretch Of terri
tory 40 miles in length is still in dis
pute, and is likely to remain so for
some time. The significance Of the
matter was not appreciated by the
government until within the last two
or three days, owing to an error in
the transmission of the summary of
the tribunals award as cabled from
London. A close reading Of this sum-
mary made it appear that the mem
bers of the tribunal were unable to
determine, on account of lack of data,
the exact course the boundary should
take along the short distance between
Kate's Needle and Devils Thumb,
mountain peaks belonging to the main
range between British Columbia and
Alaska. It now appears that the ter
ritory still unawarded stretches north
and south over the 40 miles between
Kate's Needle and Devils Thumb. AS
the territory In question is a region
of the widest character, and covered
by perpetual ice and snow, neither
this government nor Canada cares
much about this strip, but there is a
possibility that future, developments
will make it q cause for renewal Of
the question of sovereignty over the
whole region.

IS
NEATLY TRAPPED
He Planned to Rob Wealthy Cloth
ing Manufacturer but His Con-
federate Told All.
Man Was Employed in a Private De-
tective Agency, but Police
Caught Him.

New York. Nov. 5.-An alleged plot
which might have resulted in the
death of Samuel Lewis. q clothing
manufacturer in Mercer street. has
been disclosed by the information
which reached District Attorney Jer-
ONE few days ago. Edward Devau,
an employe of a private detective
agency, is under arrest on charges OF
attempting to commit grand larceny,
assault and robbery. Miss Ella Eagan,
a handsome young stenographer, also
is in the hands of the police. She is
being held in the house of detention
as a witness. charged with having
knowledge of the plot.
Several days ago Walter Nelson
called upon the district attorney, and
declared he had information of plot
to rob Mr.. Lewis. Nelson said he was
employed by private detective con-
Germ and that Devau, a clerk in the
office, had tried. to hire him to assault
Lewis. Agents of the district attor-
ney took the matter In charge. Nell
son was instructed to accept the
proposition. He managed SO well
that one of the county detectives was
taken into the scheme.
1t appears, according to Nelson,
| that Miss Eagan, Devau's sweetheart.
was employed by Lewis. She told
Devau that the manufacturer fire.

late In the evening and then walked
down from the top floor, thru dark
stairway, with. large sums Of money.
| 1t was planned to strike him down
| with a piece of lead pipe. Nelson
says he was instructed to hit hard and
| If he had done SO with the weapon
Devau furnished, Lewis certainly
| would have been killed. The scheme
was put into operation. Nelson and
the county detective, who was posing
as an expert criminal, entered the
Mercer street building, while Devau
remained outside on the watch. Other
police agents were secreted in a build
ing opposite and when Devau had
taken his post he was arrested. He
refused to discuss the affair.

schemes were talked Of, including the
holding up OF a Standard Oil company

Horace Greeley's Broken Heart.
Literary Digest.)

Senator Depew introduced an account
of the disastrous close of Horace Greeley
life into his eulogy of the late Representa-
tive Amos Cummings, of New York, in the
Senate recently. He said:
Il have seen many a 1eathbed in my
life; 1 have seen life go out under condi-
tons that were sad or sweet, hopeful Or
despairing. l never but once saw a man
die of broken heart, and never do 1
wish to see such Il tragedy again.

in his Presidential campaign. just before
its close. We spoke from the same plat
form. and both of us knew that he was to
be beaten. We went back to his home,
and he was jeered upon the train and at
the depot when he arrived. We went into
his study, which was Uttered with those
famous caricatures Of Mast, representing
him as the embodiment of all that was
evil or vile in expression or practice in
life. Mr.. Greeley glanced them over for
u moment, and then said:
My life is failure. never have sought
to accumulate a fortune. l never have
cared for fame, but did want to leave a
monument of what had done for my fell

No Strength in stimulants.

The idea that alcohol or any other stim-
ulant can ever impart strength must be
abandoned, says writer in The Hospital.
4 stimnlant has certain effect ON the
circulation, and this may enable the per-
son who takes it to exert more strength
temporarily: but the energy that he uses
comes not from the stimulant, but from
his own blood and tissue. A similar mis-
take is made in the administration of a
stimulant to relieve feeling Of depression
or sinking. An injurious reaction always
follows. Alcohol is harmful also in
diseases Of the kidneys or of the liver, but
it seems to be good for diseases of the
lungs, and its effect on appetite and d.
gestion may be good when properly en-
ployed. When, ''stimulants" put one to
sleep and quiet agitation, they are doing
good; when, on the contrary, they raise
the pulse-rate. and cause excitement and
wakefulness, they are doing harm--Suc-
cess.
