THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
NEEDED AT BUTLER
Probably 100000 VIII he Required
Before the Typhoid Epidemic
Subsidies.

BUTLER, Pa, Dec. 3-Ten dollars will
be needed where there is 81 on hand now.
This was decided at the meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee tonight which was at
tended by nearly all of the members and
forty interested listeners, physicians of the
State Board of Health and of the cities OF
Philadelphia and Pittsburg. After thor
oughly investigating and basing their cal
culations on the number of new cases which
are reported per day it is estimated that
the epidemic will cost before it subsidies
100000. The relief committee has $4,000 on
hand and $4,000 more in sight. These funds
will be exhausted within two weeks.
The relief committee has been in active
existence four days. During that time 1t
has given orders for food and medicine
amounting to $1,000. employed about 100
nurses at from 81 to 50 per day and has sent
doctors to a large number of families.
The total number of typhoid fever cases
reported to the State and health officers up
to this evening is 1,169 There are many
unreported cases. Twenty-six new cases
came in to-day and two deaths resulted, one
of them being Father Daniel Walsh, pastor
of St. Paurs Catholic Church. The doctors
say they have not as many new cases now
as there were several days ago, but the cpl
demic continues TO grow undoubtedly.

LOCAL MINE OPERATORS
KNOW NOTHING OF REPORT
Island Coal COMPANY and w. +. Hay
ward Do Not Give Credence to
Stories of Decrease.

When asked If there was any truth in the
reports that at the coming convention OF
United Mine Workers, which will be held
in Indianapolis next month, the mine oper-
ators of the Middle West districts would
notify the miners that they would have to
accept 20 per cent. decrease in wages, Off
GERS of the Island Coal Company said that
they could not verify any such reports be-
cause the first they had heard of it was
when it appeared in the papers. II such a
movement is to be made by the operators
nothing of it has been heard about the
Island coal mines in the southern part of
the State.
w. E. Hayward of this city, who owns
large mining interests in Illinois, was asked
last night if there was talk about his mines
that the operators anticipated making such
q decrease in the wages of their men. He
said he had heard nothing to that effect
and all that he knew about IT is what he
has seen in the papers. 1t is believed That
the story has no foundation and was prob
ably started by some mine operator in Chi
cago, who thought he would better his posi-
tion by making such statement.

BRITISH CRUISER LOST
III. VI. s. FLORA WENT ASHORE IN A
FOG NEAR VANCOUVER.
weather Calm, but She Probably Will
BE Total Wreck-Navigating
officer Made :. Mistake.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Dec. 3-H. NJ. S.
Flora went on the rocks in a dense fog
early to-day near Village Point, Denman
island. the place where the collier Will
lamette went ashore several years ago.
The stern is submerged, but the bow is
high out of the water. The weather is
calm.
The Flora was going at a high rate of
speed when she struck, her bow being
driven on the shelf of rocks with a crash
which shook seamen from their feet and
shivered the big cruiser from end to end
The sea rushed in quickly through the open
sci was below water.
The officers were driven from their quar-
tiers and only able to save the few things
they could carry in their hands. Much dam
age has been done at the bow and the
vessel. which is worth a million and quar-
ter dollars, is believed to be a total wreck.
1t is believed the wreck was due to the
navigating officer mistaking a red spar
buoy for a beacon on the opposite side OF
the channel, four miles south. He turned to
port, thinking he was avoiding this. in
stead of going to starboard, as he should
have done.
II. NJ. S. Egeria left Esquimault tonight.
H, Nj. S. Grafton will not be able to leave
for the wreck until tomorrow, as she is
undergoing repairs in the dry dock. The

1850 tons displacement. She was launched

MONEY RAISED FOR NEW
TECHNICAL INSTITUTE.


The committee of forty-three appointed at
the last meeting of the Winona Assembly
met in Pittsburg last night to consider
ways and means for the proposed trade and
technical school to be established in this
city, which is to be conducted in harmony
with the Winona Agricultural and Tech
nical School.
The committee decided that the name of
the new school shall be National Trade and
Technical Institute and that it should have
for its objects the teaching of boys trades
without taking the higher technical educa-
ton, and also provide thorough training
in the principles and teachings of the Eng
lish Bible In conjunction with the teaching
the branches of learning that apply par
ticularly to the trades selected by the pu-
pills.
1t was decided to recommend that guar
antee fund of 100000 be raised by subscrip-
ton, and goodly sum was pledged by
those present.

LETTER TO MR.. E. B. PORTER,
indianapolis, Ind.

Dear Sir: You know good paint when
you see il. Devoe Ready Paint is the paint
that costs half as much as lead and oil
because IL wears twice as long.
But ii looks no better, when first put on.
You must wait a little. TO see the differ
ence
The first summer takes off the gloss OF
lead anc oil; the second summer IL chalks:
the third, it wants repainting. 1t probably
spots in a month or six weeks: the gloss
goes off in spots or in sections.
Devoe Ready Paint even holds it's gloss
longer than lead and oil wears. The loss
of gloss marks the beginning of wear. but ii
keeps out water ten years, under favorable
conditions.
Painters think three years is enough. II
is for lead and OIL
Yours truly,
f. w. DEVOE & co.
p. S.-Devoe Ready Paint is sold by Lilly
& Stalnaker.

Things I'D Like to See.

Other folks may climb the Alps,
Sail the Caribbean sea,
Flirt with the ladies in Japan.
But it's none of that for me:
Other folks may view the sights
From the Rockies. or may go
Where the icy jewels CLEAN
In a creamy field of snow;
Here's list of sights for me-
Here is what I'd like to see:
First, I'd like TO see two girls
Who do not discuss a he
And a trust that's waterless
Is a thing I'd like to see;
And I'd like TO see a cook
Who has never burned the meat,
And a lady's number six
Fitted on the size Of feet;
And a politician who
Never NEVER told lie.
And some substance stuck inside
OF a quick-lunch counter pie;
Or I'd like to see a cat
That has never yowled at night.
And a large-sized fat would be
Quite an interesting sight:
/ would like TO see a maid
Who'll admit that she is old,
Or a man who doesn't know
Any sure cure for your cold;
/ would like to see a man
Who has never set you wild
Of he has a boy) with tales
OF the brightness OF the child;
Then I'd like to look upon
A drug clerk WHO hasn't got
Something just as good-or much
Better than II, like as not;
A conductor who does not
Pack the car until IL groans.
And a gas clerk who explains
In apologize tones;
Or I'd like TO see a ship
Sailing through the air on wings,
And I'D like TO see the man
Who has ever seen these things.
Other folks may climb the Alps,
But there's none OF that for me-
The aforesaid are the sights
] am hankering to see.

FORTUNE SMILED TWICE.
Tale of the ''Three Johns" Who Left
Leeds, England.
New York Commercial.

New York Commercial.
Back in the fifties there lived in the
smoky town of Leeds, England, three skill
full young machinists, three Johns-John
North, John Holroyd and John Buckley.
They had played together, worked together,
and later on, when they went to Belfast,
they nearly died together. OF the three
young men one subsequently became IA
nous as Colonel North. the nitrate
king" the man who became wealthy in
South America and returned to hobnob with
princes, dukes and commercial magnates.
Another one of the three, John Buckley,
is now living in Rochester, N. Y, being
president of the Machine Tool Company.
He is known as the man who might have
gone to South America with North and
shared with him in his schemes for money
making. John Buckley has no vain regrets,
although he firmly believes that there is "a
tide in the affairs of men which, taken at
the opportunity to go to South America
with North was that tide or not he refuses
TO say, but he strongly suspects that it
was
When the three young men were living
in Leeds, North's mother informed Buck
ley that she had secured work for her son
in South Africa, and could do likewise for
Buckley If he would go with North Buck
ley. however, preferred to come to the
United States, and the young men parted
How North came by his wealth-namely
nitrate springs-all the world knows 1t
knows also the lavish splendor i'm which he
spent the closing years of his life. He
high in the commercial world, and devel-
oped strong taste for such luxuries as
champagne breakfasts, champagne suppers,
and champagne everything.
1t was while North was living in royal
style at Woodhouse Moor, Leeds, that
Buckley next met him, while he himself
was paying a visit to his native town.
Immediately North heard from Jack Hol-
royd (who up to then had not left Leeds)
that John Buckley was in town, he sent
round his private carriage and had him
TO dinner that very night in quite a dis
tinguished company. several of whom
sported titles. North was the same bluff,
hearty character as in the old days, but
in appearance he had begun to show evil
dences of high living. He made proposals
to Buckley to go to Brazil along with their
mutual friend Holroyd, and made an ap-
pointment to meet several days later to
complete negotiations; but through the op-
position Of Canon Buckley, Mr.. Buckley s
brother, VINO scarcely relished North's mode
of living, this appointment was not kept,
except by Holroyd, who richly benefited
by Ii.
Now, 1t would appear that Fortune has
knocked at Mr.. Buckley's door on two
distinct occasions, both in connection with
his old friend North.

among the railroads concerning the pur-
chase of the bridge. Last spring PROPOSE

saving station reports that the Swedish ship
Dharwar, with cargo of mating from
Hong-Kong for New York, is ashore few
miles from Ocean City, Md. The main top
mast has been carried away. 1t is feared
the vessel will be total wreck, as heavy
sea is running, and the wind is blowing
thirty-six miles an hour. The North Beach
life-Savers were unable to launch the life-
boat to go to the rescue of the crew. Five
members of the crew came ashore in one

Credit to Married women.

Marquise De Fontenoy, in Washington
Times.
The British House of Lords has Just con-
firmed a judgment of the Court of Appeal
denying the right of a wife to run UP a bill
in her husbands name, or to pledge his
credit without his explicit authority Lord
and Lady Westmoreland, the latter a IA
nous beatty, sister of the Duchess of Suther-
land, of the Countess of Warwick, and of
Lord Roslyn, are far from rich. The EARL
total income amounts, all told, to SIP 500 a
year, the countess having an allowance of
s., 900 year more of her own.
Lord Westmoreland made definite legal
arrangement with his wife according to
which $4,000 was to be set aside for the
household expenses, he keeping $500 a year
for himself, while she retained her own al
lowance of $1,000. While he was absent in
South Africa with his militia regiment
fighting the Beers the countess ran up some
heavy bills OF household expenses over and
above the sum agreed upon, and as the
earl on his return refused TO pay these,
the tradespeople sued him for the money.
They won in the lower courts, but have lost
in the higher courts, and in future mer-
chants will be more careful about giving
credit to married women in England.

EXPLANATIONS S.M.DYER
HE TELLS HOW OPTIONS on ARMY
POST LAND WE'RE SECURED.
On the Other Hand the Owners of
the Tracts Say Delay Caused Them
so Lose a Years Crops.

Sidney NJ. Dyer, of Dyer & Rassmann,
who secured the option for the ground for
the proposed army site northeast OF the
city, when seen yesterday said the present
delay in the proceedings looking TO the
closing OF the deal is not due to careless
ness in securing the contract or the terms
under which il was made The trouble
arose from the delay of the government,
which did not offer to make the payments
for the land as specified in the Roberts
contract until the option had expired on
Aug. IA, 1902, Mr.. Dyer said. his firm drew
up contract with the property holders of
the tract for the sale of their land at GER
tain price. The option extended until Jan.
J. At the time the contract was drawn 1t
was within the limits of the appropriation,
and was satisfactory to both parties. How
ever. Jan. arrived, and the government
had made no movement to close the deal
by paying the price agreed upon. On Jan.
q the option was renewed and extended
until Feb. 2, and on Feb. IL property
owners were notified that the gov eminent
had accepted the propositions, and they
were asked to send in their abstracts Of
title to the land.
. In the case of John Roberts Mr.. Dyer
said that when the contract was renewed
the papers were Endorsed by Mrs. Roberts,
owner, for the sale of the 260 acres for
$2O, 400. However. when the property owners
were notified to send in the abstracts Mr..
Roberts did not comply. He was notified
three times, and when seen refused the
price stipulated in the contract Mr.. Dyer
says, although he was at first anxious TO
sell and freely signed the contract
FARMS LIE IDLE.
The owners of property to be used for
the army post believe they have not been
treated fairly. At the time the options were
secured most OF them were anxious TO sell.
1t was in the fall of the year, and they be-
lieved the deal would be closed within a
few weeks. consequently they did not think
it worth while to do their fall planting
However, the matter dragged on until
spring, and. thinking the contract would
be closed very soon, they did not cultivate
their ground for summer crops. Thus. they
say, they have been held up for over a
year. their farms lying practically idle,
while they have lost their years income.
Mr.. Roberts says that his side OF the af
fair has never been sought and 1t is not
generally known what the property holders
the closing of the deal Mr.. Roberts said
he believed IL would come out all right and
that the army post would be brought here
but he refused to make statement at
present in regard TO his position in the DEAL
He said that strained relations did not ex-
list between himself and the government Of
ficials.
