.'As a further reason for requesting this
honorable court to advance this cause upon
the docket the appellant alleges that 1t Is
in the nature of test case upon which
will probably be determined the question
as to whether citizens Of Porto Rico and
certain others of our insular possessions
are aliens within the purview of the Con-
stitution and laws of the United States:

Students Hiss Rockefeller's Name.

A special dispatch to the New York Her
aid from Chicago, ILL.,, Wednesday says:
The name Of John D. Rockefeller, the man
who has given millions to the University
of Chicago was publicly Missed by the stu
dents of that institution today. Faculty
and friends Of the school were dumfounded
at the demonstration. and they are wonder
ing If the explanation offered later really
explains.
There is being held at the university a
mock national convention for the nomina-
ton of a republican for the presidency.
In the course of the proceedings a speaker
took occasion to mention the name Of John
d. Rockefeller, whereupon wave Of Kisses
seethed up to the platform from one quar-
ter of the hall.
Instantly profound quiet settled upon
the audience. Startled looks came from
the professors visitors held their breath
In expectancy and the young men who did
the kissing wore troubled expressions.
Presently the work Of the convention was
resumed. At the recess the hissers tried to
explain that they represented mock DEM
ocracy and that they were giving touch
of realism to the proceedings. They were
showing, they said. the democrats feelings
toward Mr.. Rockefeller. on account OF the
recent messages received by senator's in
Washington demanding that antitrust leg
islation be abandoned.

VALUE OF IRRIGATION.
It Will Cause Phenomenal Develop
ment of Western Lands,

Mr. A. b. Sheldon of Sherman, NJ Y,
who has Travelled extensively throughout
the United States and who halls from the
county of ChautauQua, said to a Star re-
porter today: when the irrigation system
has been fully applied to the west the de-
velopment Of those seemingly arid lands
will be phenomenal
About 10000 acres Of land in the south
ern part Of California are supplied with
water from the Colorado river In this
section the richest soils abound, being al
luvial deposits brought down in ages past
by the waters Of the Colorado 1t is said
river carries commercial fertilizers worth
about 81. Nowhere on the Pacific coast
have such abundant crops Of barley and
sorghum been grown as on this land.
don't believe that a better soil or climate
could be made to order for the propaga-
ton of stock, truck farming and fruit
Alfalfa, the western hay, can be cut from
six to eight times year. yielding from
one to two tons per acre to each cutting
The raising of cantaloupes for the east
ern market is also growing into a great
industry. Under the influences of this
climate cantaloupes ripen earlier than in
any other portion OF the United States,
thus virtually securing the market for the
growers Of this section. Railroads in op-
Grafton and those in course Of construction
tap this section, connecting it with all the
prominent cities Of the Pacific coast and
the east
"Of course, there are 5lenty of diver
sions in this out OF the way place; fine
fishing good hunting and pleasant boat ex-
cursions: the canals and rivers are always
alive with carp and other good varieties
of fish and there are plenty of wild ducks
and an abundance of quail.
.It IL easy to see the ultimate prospects
OF country like this. The whole west in
a few short years will bloom like a gar
den. The United States government is ex-
pending money freely in order to help the
work started by private organizations.
Pretty nearly one-third of all the arid
lands are under irrigation

THE MIDWAY ISLANDS.
Executive Order Turns Them Over to
Navy Department.

The President by executive order has
turned Midway Islands over to the Navy
Department. This was done at the in
stance Of the Pacific Cable Company, which
has asked for the protection Of it's proper
ties on the islands. It appears that rowing
Japanese sailors are in the habit Of putting
into the islands for the plumage of sea
fowl and for guano, and It may be difficult
to show the companys title to be sufficient.
So it is probable that the navy will estab-
lish a small station on the islands, and
American warships will make practice OF
touching there more frequently than they
have In the past.
The islands are two in number-Sand Is
land, having 633 acres, and Eastern Island,
245 acres. There is harbor affording about
eighteen feet Of water The islands are
deemed essential to the operation Of the
Pacific cable which will touch there on it's
western route from Hawaii.

that practically all the clerkships and
minor appointments in the bureaus of his

Young Widows shouldn't Wear Crepe

A special dispatch to the New York Her
aid from Chicago, ILL.,. Wednesday says:
Young widows should not wear crepe IL
they have regard for the happiness of the
future" said Nine Hunt, in a lecture to-
day at the convention Of the National Mil
liners Association.
NOW 1 don't want any Of you to be Of
Tended. and you won't have reason to be if
you take my words in the spirit in which
they are intended, but / want to make a
point Of this: If you are a young widow
do not wear heavy crepe mourning veil
or mourning ruche; neither, IL you are a
milliner, must You advise young widow
to wear them.
"All her sadness does not obliterate the
fact that the heart of the widow is still
young and that there is a future. The
heavy crepe veil and widows ruche Is too
much OF an advertisement"

Enlargement Of Budget.

These changes are all in the direction Of
the enlargement of the pension budget The
proposal, long urged by commissioners Of
pensions and others, to deprive from the
benefits Of a widows pension the women
who now marry the veterans has no stand
ing Congress will not pass any act tend
ing to lessen the pension roll. The feeling
is much the same as that in the Senate
toward the tariff reductions through recl-
procity or otherwise. Cases have occurred
where a young adventures would marry a
veteran, obviously at deaths door, for the
purpose of having a pension the rest Of her
life The principle that the widow to share
the benefits of pension must have been a
partner Of the soldier during the period of
middle life at least was recognized in the
act of 1890; it's widows benefits are avail
able only to those who were married to
soldiers at the time Of the passage Of the
act. But under the general law the widow
Of two hours has the same claim as the
widow Of forty years; each must show that
the death came from causes of service
origin, but this can be sustained in a very
large number of cases.
The next great change in these laws will
be the establishment Of a service pension
system for the veterans of the civil war
The act of 1890 comes so near to that in
practical application that the roll would
not be greatly enlarged by the change I'M
less the 50 a month of service pension were
to be given in addition to existing disability
pensions.

Senator Hatten insists that he has suf1-
cient assurances from both north and south
of cooperation in the conference to make
1t a success, and he desires to go on with
it. He says presidential boom for Senator
Spooner never occurred to him. 1t Is feared

Little Sensation.

In 1902 a married woman visited In
Reynoldsville and during that visit a
little Irritation was indulged in with a
young man at this place. Several let
ters were exchanged after the woman
returned home. The husband got an
inkling OF the affair and not lo1g since
he came to Reynoldsville and introduced
himself to the young man under an as
sumed name, won the confidence of the
fellow, succeeded in pumping" him on
the very matter the married man was
intensely interested in, and after get
ting the Information desired made him
self known to the young man, who was
speechless for few minutes after he
learned to whom he had told his story.
The married man returned home with
one OF his wifes letters in his possession
and forgiveness In his heart for her and
the man she had hirted with. 1t is safe
to assert that the young man was SO
badly frightened over the affair that he
will not soon again make confidant OF a
perfect stranger, especially about flirt-
ing with another mans wife.

they would not leave and then the girls
