A surpri.ed ohioan.

An American who has been travelling
in Japan says the japanese have a word
of salutation which sounds like Ohio.
When he was In Yokohama, fellow
countryman was seeing the sights from
a rickshaw The Japanese are very po-
lite, and when even the American met
them they gave him the usual word of
greeting. At first he wasn't quite GER
tain, but as party after party bowed
profoundly and said Ohio he became
convinced that they were uttering the
name of his own state, and he was q
badly puzzled occidental. Finally, on
passing a group of dozen or more,
who were more than usually courteous
and who vociferated the word Of wei
come, he couldn't repress his astonish-
ment any further. Yes" he said, II
am from Ohio and from Jefferson coun-
ty. but how did you fellows get ON to
the fact?"

WILL HAVE OLYMPIC GAMES.
Sports Intended for Chicago VIII BE
Held In ST. Louis During
Worlds Fair.

Worlds Fair.
St Louis, Feb 12-"Everything set
tied; you have Olympic games" is
the wording of cablegram received
yesterday from Michael La Grave,
Worlds Fair commissioner at Paris,
France, by the Louisiana Purchase
exposition officials.
The meaning OF the cablegram Is
that the Olympic games, which were
originally intended to be held in Chi
cago in 1904, will be held in st. Louis
during the Worlds Fair, the interna-
tional committee having SO decided.
A special committee was appointed
by President Francis some time ago
to take up the question of securing
the OLYMPIC games for St Louis dur
ing the Worlds Fair. A number OF
meetings was held with the Chicago
gentlemen In charge of the games. In
furtherance of the project the Ath.
letic union, OF st. Louis, sent a spe.
cial committee to New York to con.
fer with the main body OF the ANA
teur Athletic union in relation to Sc
curing the American athletic events
in 1904 for St. Louis. Through the
aid of A. G. Spaulding, Of Chicago
and others prominently identified with
the matter, decision was made favor
able to st. Louis, though dependent
upon the ultimate decision Of the In
ternational committee in the Olympic
games, to which the whole question
was finally deferred.

MISS OLGA VERNE.
To Appear as Marguerite In Porter J.
Whites Faust.

There la something about Olga
Verne's personality that asserts 1T
self in every play that she is put in.
Somehow, she seems to carry an at
mosphere around with her that fresh
ems and sweetens the theatre and the
audience like draft Of pure air from
hills where daisies blow.
It's charm stronger than her tai
emit. It's mysterious, elusive fra
GRANGE that one doesn't find often in
the theatre.
But If you watch an audience com
ing out after a matinee OF Faust there
is a certain serenity OF soul expressed
on the most frivolous face In the
group. The brightness Of eye and
color OF cheek and naughty whish OF
skirt that you will observe after a
Faust matinee may be missing, but
voices have grown sweeter, ways more
gentle, words kinder.

SAFES FOR THE HOME.



The clumsy safe which formerly held
! the precious stones and documents OF
the weakly has practically been abol-
fshed In the homes of those who can
afford to keep abreast OF the times In
such matters, and In its place nave
been introduced curiously wrought
places Of concealment which the pro-
fessional burglar would have great
difficulty In finding. A little secrecy
has been found to be worth more than
a foot of chilled steel. The old fash
toned home or Office safe is q direct In
vitation to burglar. He knows that
the diamonds, jewelry and spare cash
and valuable documents are kept there.
Otherwise, why have safe in the
does not at some time have conaidera-
BILE valuables in his home which he
must intrust to his private safe.
The most ingenious method OF mod
ern safe builders Is to construct q re-
ceptacle for valuables in the walls,
floor or ceilings of the house. The
work Is as ingenious as 1t is effective.
An expert examines the different parts
of room selected for the purpose and
finally hits upon place where conceal
ment can be made the most effective.
A square of couple Of feet or more is
taken out of the plaster, and chilled
steel safe is made to fit In the hole thus
made The inside OF the safe Is lined
with plush for holding diamonds and
precious jewels, and there are compart-
ments for bills and valuable docu-
ments When fitted in its niche In the
wall, ceiling or floor, the most ingen-
ious part of the contrivance is then
made by an expert. The opening Of the
safe door Is made SO carefully that 1t
appears as IL the side of the wall moves
outward as II by magic. The spring
which controls the mechanism is often
concealed in the picture molding or
cornice some distance from the safe
itself.
To make 1t doubly sure 80 that no
one would accidentally touch the spring
and reveal the hidden safe, with its
treasures, there is usually second
spring. The first one consists chiefly
in removing a small piece of the mold
ing or wooden base of the rim, and this
dlscloses nothing but bare surface of
wood. A little examination will show,
: however, that this wooden surface is
divided into little square lines. One OF
these squares holds the second hidden
spring. BY pressing it in a certain way
ut will spring open the door of the safe
located probably half a dozen feet
away. Consequently If workmen q
servants should accidentally knock OF
the piece OF molding or wooden base
which reveals the second spring the
secret would still be intact.-Philadel
phia Ledger.

Methods Of the conspirators Made
Public by Confession Of One
of the Men.


New York, Feb. IAN exposure II
the methods OF the conspirators in the
recently discovered italian hfe insur-
ance frauds was made yesterday By
the confession Of one OF the men con
eerned. 1t appears that the frauds
have been in operation for 10 years.
during which time the insurance com
panies have been defrauded OF huE.
dreds of thousands of dollars. In one
instance a company paid out $4,000
on one fraudulent risk. The head Of
the conspiracy, Mr. Krotel says, was
Bartolomeo 0rino, who was recently
arrested and released under $4,000
bail Cirino is said to have disap-
peared and his bond win be ordered
forfeited.
The usual plan OF operations was
to make an application for Insurance
in the name OF some person In prac-
tically dying condition, a healthy sub.
stitute being presented for medical
examination. In cases where the orig
inal risk" fingered too long to sat
isfy the conspirators substitute body
was used on which to collect tbs
amount of the policy. These bodies
were said to have been furnished by
Joseph Tripan, an Italian undertaken,
who Is now awaiting trial In the
Tombs. In some Instances false death
certificates were presented, said to
have been signed by Cirfno or by two
italian doctors, who are now under
heavy bail.
So well organized was the scheme
that there was a regularly appointed
board Of directors. that used to meet
every week to discuss the payments Of
premiums falling due and pass on the
matter of the substitution OF bogus
bodies in the case of risks" that did
not die until the payment OF premiums
became too heavy.

The ROOrbRch.

Over fifty years ago writer OF mon
umental but plausible lies in Thurlow
Weeds Albany Evening Journal signed
his letters Baron Roorbach." There
was no such baron. There was no man
named "Roorbach." But the absolute
falsity of the writer's statements was
such that ''roorbach" became syno-
nym for any kind Of lie, especially for
the kind against personal character
suddenly issued against a man for his
injury when he could not meet 1t In
time to avert the harm. The lie Of poll
tics, the lie started for political pur-
poses, is the "roorbach" most in use the
week before election.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Chicago Papers Credited with statemeDtI
That Are Pure Romance.

Springfield. Ills, March 3. The
members of the Illinois and Michigan
canal commission will appear before
the committees on waterways and
drainage and canals and rivers today
I'm relation to legislation introduced
concerning tic Illinois and Michigan
canal. In relation to the publication
of criticisms regarding thecanal which
have appeared in a number of papers,
President Snively, of the board, said
last night:
Not one word of criticism which
has appeared in the Chicago papers
in relation to the affairs of the canal
is based upon fact" Snively declined
to make any further statement last
night. but said that the commission
would be prepared with facts and fig
ures for presentation to the legislature
tomorrow which would effectually dis
prove their allegations of the canals
enemies.
