President Roosevelt In Yellowstone
\ Fastnesses. NJ
Cinnabar, Mont, April 10. - Presi.
dent Roosevelt is in the Businesses Of
Yellowstone Park, and for the next
sixteen days he expects to enjoy COM
5plete rest and cessation from public
duties. He will be in almost daily
communication with Secretary Loeb
at Cinnabar, but nothing except Of
the utmost Importance will be referred
to him. In company with John Bur
roughs the naturalist, who accompa-
MED him from Washington, he will
closely study the nature of the vari-
GUS animals that inhabit the park.
The president has looked forward to
this outing for some time, and he was
In a particularly happy frame of mind
when he led the cavalcade into the
park. Every trail leading into the re.
serve Is closely guarded and no one
will be allowed to disturb the presi-
dents solitude. His headquarters will
be at the home Of Maj. Pitcher, the
superintendent of the park. A number
of camps have been established in diff
ferent localities and these will be
occupied by the president from time
to time.

POKER GAME FOR CHARITY.
Philadelphia Men Have Unique Form
of Amusement.

There are five men of wealth and
prominence closely identified with a
certain uptown church who go once a
week to play poker. All are men well
along in years and all have renowned
the follies of youth, yet they have
never lost their love for the great
American game Of draw. They realize
that it would be incompatible with
their position as pillars of the church
to gamble, and yet they play a 25-cent
limit game for real money.
There is just this difference. The
winners turn over to the treasurer all
the money they have won from the
losers, and every six months this fund
is expended on some deserving charity
In that way, while the player who is
ahead of the game doesn't profit. yet
he isn't losing anything, and the loser
has the satisfaction of knowing that
his money is going to good cause.
The element of chance is not elimin
ated; each man plays his best, there
are four hours of excitement, and the
players do not feel that they are beat
ing the devil about the bush.-Phila-
delphia Record.

st. Paul Gives Warm Welcome to the
Hero Of Santiago.
st. Paul, April 10-Admiral Schley's
last day in St. Paul was most pleas
ant from every point of view. The
trip to Hamline university in the fore
noon, the admirals address to the
students and their typical manner of
showing their appreciation, the college
yells afterward, and then the trip back
to the Aberdeen formed about as
pleasant way of spending the fore
noon as could have been devised.
The parade in the afternoon was
much like that arranged for President
Roosevelt last Saturday; it was not
so much parade as guard of honor,
and it was composed of just such ma
terial as the admiral would have Sc.
lected.
The admiral and his party visited
the state capitol in the afternoon,
where they met the Minnesota legis-
lature and afterward held an informal
reception in the governors chambers.
After that the visitors called at the
home of Former Gov. Alexander Ram
sey to pay their respects to the ven
cradle executive.

SOLD PROMOTIONS.
OPERATIONS Of Ring in Postoffice De.
partment Laid Bare.

OPvratlohS OF KING IN PoStomce De.
partment Laid Bare.
Washington, April II. - Startling
revelations have resulted from the in
vestigations which have been going on
for some time in Case No. s in the
postoffice departments catalogue of
scandals. Detailed charges have been
filed at the department alleging the ex-
istence of a powerful promotion syn
dictate, whose operations have includ-
ed the postal service of the entire
country, and whose methods and influ-
ence have rendered practically null
and void the merit system which is
pominally in effect.
The charges allege that the promo.
ton syndicate was operated from
Washington by officers of the salary
and allowance division.
The New York postoffice is said to
have been the largest field of opera
lions of the syndicate, but its power
and influence have been exerted in
postoff1ces, large and small, all over
the country. So far as New York is
concerned, the
"Promotion Price"
is said to have been $25 to $50 down
and certain percentage each month
of the amount of the promotion re-
ceived by the clerk.
The charges filed are in great de-
tail and designate superintendent of
division in the New York postofice as
the agent in that city of the Washing
ton ring who operated the promotion
syndicate. 1t is alleged that a careful
investigation of the 1,776 promotions
made in the New York office alone on
March 20, as result of the annual re-
adjustment of salaries by the salary
and allowance division will disclose
the fact that these advances as rule
were not made on merit, but as the re-
suit of the operations of the syndicate.
The Washington ring is said to
have agents in various other post
offices where the system of paid pro-
motion has been in operation. The
money so obtained, it is alleged, was
pooled and pocketed by the officers
conducting the syndicate after the
agents commissions had been de-
Quoted.

They Demand Halliday Sessions Dur

Madison, Wis, April 10. - Led by
the son of the superintendent Of
schools and scions of some of the best
families in Madison, 300 high school
students went on a strike yesterday
for single or halliday sessions. They
congregated in mobs about the high
school building and made such a dis
turbance that a detail of police was
called to suppress them. About two
thirds of the $50 students in the school
are out, and the strikers are making
vigorous efforts to gain accessions to
their ranks. AS the strike is approved
by the parents Of number of the
students, and secretly encouraged, it
is said, by some of the teachers, it is
probable that considerable difficulty
will be experienced in settling it.

TURTLES THAT NEVER DRINK

90 w
a Family Fron, the Mojave Desert
Which Does Without Water.
Out In Los Angeles, Cal, is a fam
ily' Of turtles which may be called
"teetotalers" in every sense Of the
word, says the Philadelphia Record,
for not only do they abstain from
drinking liquor of any kind, but not
one of them has ever touched q drop
of water since he became member
of the family.
The youngest member has been one
Of the wards of the chamber Of COM
merce for the last six years, while
Jumbo, the largest; has had his home
in one of the rooms of the Commerce
building for twelve years. During that
time they have never been near wat
er. They are Of kind, however, that
can got along very we'll without water,
for they come from the Mojave desert
in southern California, where they live
and thrive principally upon sagebrush
and dry moss. They eat once day
in the morning. The bill of fare is
very simple, consisting of only two
delicacies-lettuce and grapes. These
are placed in pile in one of the
rooms of the Chamber of Commerce
building and if the breakfast room is
open they are always to be found in it
when the attendant brings the food.
The moisture in the lettuce and grapes
is sufficient for them and to-day they
are as lively as when first caught.
Between November and March they
are packed away in box, where they
hibernate until the opening of spring.
When released from the box they
seem to be fatter than ever, although
they eat nothing during that period.
The Chamber of Commerce turtles"
as they are called, have quite repu-
tation, as they have travelled very ex-
tensively in the country. They visited
the Pan-American exposition and will
accompany the chamber of commerce
display to st. Louis.

The men killed and injured were on
the second gun deck at mess. Three
pieces Of the; explode led gun, each
weighing over a ton. passed downward
through the spar deck, falling upon
the men at mess, instantly killing
three Of them. All Of the men were
horribly mutilated.
The heavy missiles. after passing
through the gun deck, continued on to
the third deck, where they came in
contact with the armored deck, the
heavy steel bringing them to a stop,
thus saving the engineers and fremen
who were at work below. Although
the upper decks
Were Covered With Men
no one there was seriously injured,
The explosion occurred just as the
mess call had been sounded. Firing
was to have ceased after the shot, for
the dinner hour. The range had been
set and the Iowa was steaming along
at speed of IL knots an hour, when
Lieut.. Reid, in charge OF the forward
twelve-inch turret, gave orders to load
and fire. The time fuse was cut for
the range, the piece charged, breech
closed and the word given to fire.
Following the report of the gun there
was smothered noise as the shell
exploded midway in the gun and pieces
Of the bursted gun and shell were
scattered broadcast. Three great
holes were torn through the deck.
Those who were below came on the
deck. some of them bloody and mu-
tilated, while lying on the floor,
crushed almost beyond recognition,
were the three unfortunate men.
Some claim the explosion was
caused by defective shell, and others
think that the frequent firing of the
pieces at Culeba during the winter,
added to the work done here during
the past ten days so strained the
piece that the force of the charge
bursted the gun.

BOOKS OF THE BIBLE.
Rhymes That Will Aid One in Re-
Numbering Their Order.

HSHDSGiJbS IuSu OIOSTs
Churchgoing people sooner or later
learn the names of the books of the
Bible, but even they, as we'll as the
literary persons looking for historical
facts, find it difficult to repeat them
in order unless some threads of inter.
est hold them together. Here is a
set of rhymes which may be used
with success:
OLD TESTAMENT.
The great Jehovah speaks to us
In Genesis and Exodus:
Leviticus and Numbers see,
Followed by Deuteronomy;
Joshua and Judges rule the land:
Ruth CLEANS the sheaf with trembling
hand;
Samuel and numerous Kings appear.
Whose, Chronicles we wondering hear;
Ezra and Nehemiah now
Esther, the beauteous maiden, show;
Job speaks in signs,
David in psalms,
And Proverbs teach to scatter aims;
Ecclesiastes then comes on
And the sweet Song of Solomon;
Isaiah. jeremiah, then
With lamentations takes his pen;
Ezekiel, Daniel Hosea's Tyres
Swell Joel, Amos, Obed1ahS;
Jonah, Micah, Nahum come
And lofty Habakkuk finds room;
Zephaniah, Haggai calls:
Rapt Zachariah builds his walls,
Concludes the ancient testament.
NEW TESTAMENT.
This is the way the gospels run:
Matthew. Mark, Luke and John:
Then comes the Acts, inviting you
The apostolic church to view;
The Romans and Corinthians are
To cities sent. renowned afar:
Galatians and Ephesians then.
Write by the same inspired pen:
Philippians and Colossians stand;
With Thessalonians near at hand;
Timouuy leads to Titus on,
This brings us down to Philemon:
me Hebrews then we gladly find,
And that of James comes close behind;
20 Peter then our thoughts we give;
With loving John we wish to live;
Pous Jude will pierce the SOUL
And Revelation close the whole.
