The man who is said to have done the shoot

and is said to live in the neghborhood- Two
men and a woman who were in the cafe at the

the story the police have Of the fight. and are
the only ones who would say anything of what

II WAS late at night they say when Reilly
and more than a dozen other men entered the

as they entered. Reilly spied Peabody and
drew his weapon. Peabody and the others were

Nr. Chamberlain Outlines the Coz
eJ-nment's Plans

Johannesburg. Jan IA banquet given
here this evening in honor of Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain. High Commissioner Lord Miner
and General Botha were among the four hun
t1red guests. Nj. Chamberlain was received
with tremendous enthusiasm. and delivered a
speech in which he gave for the first time the
details which had been arranged for the financ-
ing OF the new colonies.
The Colonial Secretary described the arrange
rnent as "a unique and unprecedented action
on the part of the imperial government. and one
which was satisfactory TO the representative
associations which met in Johannesburg to-day.
The proposal he said. was. first. that the gov
ernnent undertakes TO submit TO the imperial
Parliament a bill 10 guarantee a loan Of STD
naaG00 on the security Of the assets of the
Transvaal and Of Orangia, which were being
united for this purpose The loan would be
raised as soon as the imperial Parliament shall
give its assent. the money being devoted to
paying the existing debts of the Transvaal
buying the existing railroads. providing for the
construction Of new lines allowing the neces-
sarv expenditure for public works and also
providing for the land settlement This part
Of the plan will place Orangia and the Transvaal
in funds TO carry out the development Of the
country.
The second part of the agreement provides

Mr. Chamberlain said he hoped that his hear

would be happy augury for the uniflcation
of the two colonies. He then referred to the

Just as the Saturday night crowds poured
out Of the theatres last night the downtown
servioe of the Sixth and Ninth aves. elevated
railroads were stopped and for more than an
hour there were no southbound trains running
in the theatre district
The cause of the trouble was the breaking OF

gun 10 slow up for the stop at One-hundred-and-

fious accident Al the point where the axle
1-olso -t tracks are level with the roofs of the
hathouses.
Al -1v-fourth-st over a hundred persons
ha6 gathered. When those who had paid their
fares demanded their money back in vain there
were angry words and several men proposed
1ioleroe but cooler heads caln1ed them. and the
ticket seller began issuing blank checks Each
one of these checks had TO be filled out with
Per and ink and the process was slow ano IL

catch trains.
When the road was finally opened and the
train which had had the accident was renewed

the other trains that had been stalled in its
wake no word was sent ahead by the telegraph
system 50 many were turned away from the
stations when they might have got trains in a
short time.

Getting Acquaanted.

In his Life of Bret Harte" Mr.. T.
Edgar Pemberton recalls a story which
turns on the typical westerner's gift
for humorous understatements. In the
authors early days in California he
spent night in an inn, newly opened.
After he had got comfortably to bed
he was aroused by the noise of scuf-
fling and shouting, punctuated by oc-
casional pistol shots below.
In the morning. on going downstairs,
he found the landlord with a bruised
eye, piece of court plaster extending
from his cheek to his forehead and yet
with a pleasant smile on his face. TAX
ing his cue from this, Harte said,
''Well, landlord, you had rather live
~ time here last night"
''Yes," admitted the landlord, with a
deepening smile 1T was rather live
ly time"
do you often have such lively times
round hereF' continued Harte, embold-
ened by the landlords cheerfulness.
"Well, no." the landlord replied re-
fectively. 'eThe fact is, we've only just
opened yer, and last night was the first
time the boys seemed to be getting
really acquainted"

wave, for he spends his money freely,
and no one questions his means of get

is absolutely untitled for getting on his

has been accustomed to seeing fortunes
won and lost in a few hours, and he
can't see why fortune will not knock
at the same door twice.
II know q man who went broke in a
crash six years ago. He is a good bust
ness man when not imbued with the
fever Of speculation. He could obtain
a good position at $1,000 a year. But
he would have to work and work hard
to earn his salary. So he is looking
for easy money'-to make his million
in year; consequently he has Dor

Of designer of advertisements. With
certain cereal or article of commerce
in mind, the clever girl writes line or

with the suggestion for a picture and
takes it to the advertising manager of

If the idea is a good one she is well
paid for it and is probably asked to

successful planning of advertisements
is something which pays far more than
the higher forms of art.

Health and Wealth Ought to BE
Linked With Happiness.

Health and Wealth Ought to BE
Linked With Happiness.
We are used to feel, to put it crudeiS,
that folks who have health and money
ought to be happy. And so they should.
A sufficient income promotes comfort,
and that contributes to cheerfulness of
spirit, and to have health of course
means to feel Wen, and that is long
step toward feeling good But how far
no we have to look to find persons with
health to squander and more money
than they know how to spend making
strenuous efforts to attain happiness
and merely achieving impaired health?
If you have health and money you can
usually buy pleasure, but enjoyment is
a different article, and even when you
have got enjoyment happiness may
still elude you. Pleasure pals and
sometimes demoralizes; enjoyment cas-
lily yields to WEAKNESS, but you don't
get tired of being happy, and you may
be ever SO tired and be happy still.
Happiness is a state of satisfaction.
One reason why it is so elusive may be
because we human creatures are
complication of body, mind and spirit
and require for our complete satisfac-
ton particularly nice adjustment of
blessings and Of conduct. If we in
sduIge the body too much the other two
partners become nIutinous; If we over
cultivate the mind the body may break
down. and if we bestow all our atten-
zion on mind and body, the spirit, ig
nored, takes a sure vengeance on US for
our neglect 1t is so difficult so to
measure and direct our efforts as to
appease all the demands of our tripli-
cate natures that the simpler way is
to regard happiness as a byproduct,
give over all direct attempts to acquire
q constant supply of it and simply &C
cent however much of it may come
while we go about our business with
such intelligence as we can. We can
usually keep our bodies in fair repair
f we are not too lazy or too self indul-
fent. If we have to earn our hvings
