TEA ROOT CARVINGS,
Fantastic Wooden Objects That Are
Fashioned In the Orient.

The fantastic wooden objects which
come from the far east and are known
as tea root carvings have long been the
basis of a prosperous industry in the
populous city of Fuchau. Strictly
speaking, the name is misnomer.
Some of the carvings are made from
old tea roots and tea trunks. but the
vast ma iority. nine-tenths at least, are
made from the roots and trunks of
hardwood trees.
The carvings are almost invariably
made in two parts, pedestal and one
or more human figures fitted to the lat
ter by pegs and holes. The former is
made from a root and the latter from a
trunk. The roots are selected with con-

BACON AND SHAKESPEARE,
The Two Men Separately and the
Two In One Being.

Two In One Being.
Aristotle was an extraordinary man.
Plato was an extraordinary man. That
nary should have been living at the
same time in the same place was a
very extraordinary thing. But would
1t diminish the wonder to suppose the
two to be one? So say Of Bacon and
Shakespeare. That human being pos
sessed Of the faculties necessary to
make a Shakespeare should exist is
extraordinary. That human being
possessed of the necessary faculties to
make Bacon should exist is extraOr-
binary. That two such human beings
should have been living in London at
the same time was more extraordinary
still. But that one man should have
existed possessing the faculties and
opportunities necessary to make both
would have been the most extraordi-
nary thing Of all.
Great writer's, especially being con-
temporary, have many features in CON-
mon. but If they are really great writ
ers they write naturally. and nature is
always individual. doubt whether
there are five lines together to be found
in Bacon which could be mistaken for
Shakespeare or five lines in Shake
speare which could be mistaken for
Bacon by one who was familiar with
their several styles and practiced in
such observations. james Spedding's

NORTH DAKOTA
IN ROONEY'S BEHALF
Appeal Taken to the U. S. Supreme
Court to Save Murderer
from the Gallows.
Case Became Famous by Reason Of
a Late Change in the Place
Of Execution.
Special to The Journal.


Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 4.-When the legisla.
ture last winter changed the law for the execu-
tfon OF criminals, providing that they should be
hanged at the state penitentiary after six
months Imprisonment, instead Of being hanged
in the counties where their crimes were commit
ted, it gave chance for life to John Rooney,
now under sentence OF death pronounced by Judge
Pollock Of Cass county. The record in the case
to-day forwarded to the clerk of the United
Sta ties supreme court at Washington, and super
sedeas has been issued, which respites Rooney
until the supreme court of the United States
shall pass on his case and say whether or not
he shall hang Rooney was sentenced to be
executed in October, but the cannot be
heard by that time, it will probably be several
months yet before he is executed, If he is hanged
at all
Rooney was COL icted under the old law provid-
ing for the. punishment of murder. Before his
conviction however, the legislature passed law
repeating the old and providing that all murder
ers should be hanged at the state penitentiary by
the warden, after an imprisonment of not less
than six months. When the law was passed AMI
before the official copies were promulgated, Judge
Pollock sentenced Roney to be hanged, but failed
to set the date far enough from the time Of SEN
tence to comply with the latter provision Of the
law. When 1t was discovered that error had
bene made Rooney was taken back to Fargo and
resentenced to be hanged in October.
stambaugh's Appeal
In the meantime, however, Rooney's Attorney,
W. 8. Stambaugh, filed an appeal to the supreme
the ground that the new law was ex post
facto and that an attempt was being made to
punish the defendant under a law not in exist
ence at the time of the commission Of his crime;
and that; the six months of imprisonment having
been added by the law it imposed a greater
penalty than the law in force at the time OF
the commission of the crime. For these reasons
Rooney's attorney sought to have the sentence
set aside. -
: The supreme court. in an opinion written by
Judge Cochrane, affirmed the sentence of the
lower court and said that the sentence Of
| death must stand. Attorney Stambaugh has per-
fected an appeal to the supreme court Of the
United States, based upon the same points upon
which be appealed to the state supreme court.
| 1t is asserted that the upper court has inter-
fered in one or two cases from other states where
an ex post facto law was attacked. The supreme
court of this state says the new law Is not ex
post facto, and that the provision for six months
Imprisonment Is a mitigation of the severity Of
the sentence rather than an increase Of it. :;
| The will probably be argued before the
United States supreme court by Attorney General
Erich for the state by W. s. stambaugh of Fargo

COAL IS POURING in.
Superior Looms Up as Receiving
Port as Never Before in
Its History.
Almost Two Million Tons Have
Been Unloaded-Big Gain
Over Last Year.
Special to The journal.

Special to The journal.
Superior, Wis. Sept. 4.-This will be rec
at Superior. If this city has not been the
greatest coal-receiving port in years gone by,
there is now probably no port on the lakes that
can approach it. The receipts this year are
something enormous, and entirely out OF the
ordinary even for year when the conditions are
good.
A comparison of the receipts for this year
and year ago show an immense gain. The re-
ceipts are 1,967 1874 tons, of which anthracite
makes up 329.564 tons. Last year the receipts
at this time were LOOP, 166 tons, showing a gain
Of 905. 42S tons.
The anthracite receipts are five times as
great as last year, and 100000 more tons OF
btuminous have come this year than last year.
In iron the figures show 2,6s4,736 tons
this year against 2,311,7es tons last year, gain
of 372,943 TONS --,. s. r....
With conditions good Superior, with its three
docks, should be able to ship the greatest
amount of any port on the Great Lakes. This
has not been the case this year owing to the
fact that the steel trust is able to control the
boats, while the lower lake ports have been
congested with ore. But If the boats could
have been secured here it would have been an
easy proposition to ship 100000 tons this
year.
The city schools are still without superin-
tendent in the manual training department. ow-

tired without having his resignation accepted,
but the board has found no way to hold him.

MICHIGAN
SIMPLY FOR AN OPINION
No Doubt About the HuronIc's Violation
of the NavIqatlon Laws.


MARQUETTE. MICH-Judge George P. VANITY
of Grand Rapids, who is holding federal court for
the western district of Michigan here this week.
has taken under adv1sement the case of the Unit
ed States the steamer Huronic, owned by the
Northwestern Steamship company, charged with
violation of the navigation laws. --
The Huronic took nine passengers aboard at
Duluth and sold them tickets thro to the Amer
lean 500, thing illegal for boat of foreign
registry, the Huronic being Canadian owned.
The offense committed in August of last
year. 1t was investigated and In due season
Collector Cad Smith of this district assessed
fine of $500 for each passenger, making a
total of $1.S0O. ~.
The owners of the boat it appears, were
willing to pay the amount, but the department
desired opinion in the case, and it is for
this purpose that it submitted before Judge
VANITY. The owners of the Huronic made no
appearance and only the United States side
of the proceedings presented.
something of stir has been caused in ma
rtne circles by the receipt of official order
at the local customs house providing that here
after the masters and chief mates of all sailing
craft of over 700 gross tons must have licenses,
secured after an examination as to their quail
tcations. In order to retain their positions, the
new arrangement being practically the same as
that Affecting the chief officers of steam craft.
A second order received from Secretary Cor
telyou provides for equally important lnnova-
t1on According to this all sailing vessels Of 100
gross tons or over must be inspected, and If not
found seaworthy will he denied the certificate
now required before they can ply the lakes.
