recent anthracite coal strike.
Wadswortn, with a detachment of
his regiment, was guarding the home
OF a non-union miner, when the shoot
ing occurred. Durham was detected
approaching the house and when call
ed upon to halt, apparently paid no
heed to the command. Wadsworth
%thereupon shot and killed Durham.
1t afterwards developed that Durham
was deaf and that it was impossible
for him to hear the command to halt.
Immediately after the shooting the
county authorities tried to arrest the
soldier. The military officials refused
to deliver him to the civil authorities
and the mater was taken to the
Schuykill county court, which ordered
that Wadsworth be turned over to
the county officials.
An appeal was taken to the supreme
court which granted a habeas corpus
and released Wadsworth in $500 bail
pending the determination of the suit.
The supreme court in it's decision to-
day refused to turn Wadsworth over
to the county authorities and makes
him immune from prosecution On the
charge of murder.

BONES OF MAGI FOUND.
Cardinal Ferrari Claims Discover,
of stolen Relies of the Three
Wise Men.

Cardinal Ferrari has brought from
Cologne to Milan a remarkable present
for the Milan church OF st. Eustorgius.
1t is an ancient wooden urn containine
relics of the three magi kings who came
from the east to Bethlehem to attend the
nativity. The cardinal declares the urr
contains portion Of the thigh bone OF
Melchior, piece Of Balthasar's shir
bone and one Of Gaspar's teeth. The
cardinal has placed the relics on exhibit
ton in the archepiscopa chapel Of Milan
and when an appropriate casket is fin
ished the relics will be transferred to
the church of st. Eustorgius. where there
is an empty sepulcher bearing the Latin
inscription "Sepulchrum trium Mayor
um,' from which It is supposed the
bodies of THE three wise men were stolen
seven centuries ago. II is alleged the
bodies were translated from CONSTANT
nople to Milan by Bishop Eustorgius. It
is not explained how the bodies got to
Constantinople. Catholic historians
long ago abandoned authenticity of the
relics. Nevertheless, Milan is delighted
that the sepulcher is to be again filled.

TO BUILD PALACE ON WHEELS
New Company VIII Establish Mag
indecent Hotel service Between
New York and San Francisco,

The Harris Palatial Car company has
been organized under the laws Of the
state of New Jersey with capital OF
81 ,ee8, e99 for the purpose of operating
train of five rolling palaces between
New York and San Francisco, with so
many improvements and conveniences
| that a Fifth Avenue hotel patron viii.
not know he is out of New York If he
| doesn't lok out Of the windows.
This five-car train the company pur-
poses to build will be known as the
| Waldorf-Astoria de luxe train. Its pa
irons will be kept exclusive by the fact
| that the passengers will be booked from
one of the best hotels In each city
through which 1t passes. The train will
have everything from palm gardens to
a laundry, and nothing a patron of a
swell hotel can get by pushing but
ton will be lacking.
| To make ii unique arrangements have
| been made with the railroad lines over
which the train is to pass to have 1t
complete its trip across the continent
| and back in ten days so the train will
leave with its passengers every tenth
day.
The idea is the outgrowth of the de-
| funct Harris Palatial Car company In
Boston, which went under in an ava
lanche of litigation over patents and
ownership of stock in 1889.
"If we find the scheme takes" said
Mr.. Harris, I'VE will put on additional
| trains &c as to have three week leav-
ing New York and San Francisco. We
have capital and men behind the scheme
and 1t is only question of few weeks
before work will be started on the new
cars. A schedule will be issued imme-
| diately on their completion"

AMERICAN COMMERCE.
Changes Which Have Occurred in a
Decade Are Illustrated.
Figures of Imports and Exports 81
1898 and 1908 show Growth of
the Country During the
Period Covered.

The contrast between the extent and
volume Of our commerce in 1903 and
that Of 1898 is illustrated by some fis-
ures Just presented by the department
of commerce and labor, through Its
bureau of statistics. These figures show
the imports from and exports to each
Of the grand divisions Of the world in
1898 and in 1908 and thus show at a
glance the growth during the period
so covered. They show that imports
have grown from sS66 1000. 900 to 81 .025.-
1000, an increase OF $l59. 000, 900. and
that exports have grown from sS47.-
100000 to s1,420, 100000 an increase OF
1913 100000. They show that $4,000.
600 Of the increase In imports comes
from Europe. s55. 600. 900 from Asia and
about 100000 each from North Amer
lea. South America and Africa. The
figures for Oceania show an apparent
falling off of about $5000.00o but this
is due to the fact that the merchandise
brought from Hawaii is no longer
classed as imports. Hawaii being now
territory of the United States. II
this were included in the figures Of i'm
ports in 1908, 1t would show growth OF
imports from Oceania Of about $40, 000.-
900.
On the export side the showing Is
equally interesting. or the s573 900 ,0oo
of increase, 1857 100000 was to Europe
s94,0OO,00O to North America. SAL
100000 to Asia, $33,O00,OO0 to Africa
$26, 100000 to Oceania and $4,000, 900 to
South America. In case the shipments
to Hawaii were included. the increase
to Oceania would be about $4,000, 900
In case those to Porto Rico were includ-
ed, the increase to North America would
be over slOO,0O0,000.
Even more interesting is a little tn
BILE which shows the gain in exports to
each Of the principal countries of the
world. This table includes only ten
countries, yet to these were sent 81,
159,0O000O worth OF the total exports
Of 1908, leaving only $26l ,000.0 900 sent
to all the other countries. The ter
countries, stating them In the order OF
magnitude Of the exports to them, are
the United Kingdom, Germany, France
Netherlands, Belgium, Canada. Mexico
China, Japan and Australia. To Ger.
many the exports show a growth Of
$l10,000,0OO from 1893 to 1908; to the
United Kingdom. $1O3OoO, 900; to Can
ada, ST 1000; to Netherlands, $40.
0O0,0O0 France, $31 900, 900; Mexico

China, $15,OOO,OO0. and to all other coun-
tries, $112,OOO,000

EDELWEISS GROWING SCARCE.
Wholesale Destruction Threatens
Extinction of This Pretty
Alpine Flower.

Attention has again been called to
the wholesale destruction of edelweiss
by an advertisement in the Davoser
Zeitung asking for 125 pounds of the
flowers. The advertiser is a Zurich
dealer.
The trade in this pretty Alpine
flower has within the last few years
developed into quite large industry
in Switzerland. 1t is extensively used
for funeral wreaths, and some time ago
a large wreath was made here COM
posed entirely of edelweiss. the value
of the flowers being over f3. 1t may
be added that fairly extensive allied
industry is the manufacture Of edel-
weiss.
The disappearance Of some Of the
rarer Alpine flowers Is continually
being reported in the Alps. and edel-
weiss in particular is altogether ex-
tinct in some places where 1t was
abundant not many years ago.

BECKHAM'S MAJORITY 3o,4oS.
Democratic Victory In Kentucky Most
Sweeping In Fifteen Years.

Louisville, Ky, Nov 7-Returhs,
which are complete save for a few
scattered precincts in remote parts of
the State, give Governor Beckham,
Democrat, for Governor, a majority
of30,40S over Morris B. Belknap, his
Republican opponent, in Tuesdays
balloting.
The missing precincts are in both
Republican and Democratic strong
holds, yet the assertion seems war
ranted that the Governors final and
official majority will not be less than
5000.
This is the largest majority given
to Democratic gubernatorial can
didate in fifteen years.
Returns of the mountainous coun-
ties comprising the Eleventh District
give Btlknop majority of 1888,
with two or three precincts yet to be
heard from. This indicates a falling
off in the Republican vote, as this
district usually returns about 20, 900
majority for that party.
The Socialist and Socialist Labor
parties had full tickets in the field,
but their vote was small.
The Republicans are preparing
charges OF fraud alleged to have been
perpetrated in Louisville, which they
probably will present to the Grand
Jury in a few days.
