health and spirits when she left them
to go to her brothers home half
block away. About o'clock in the

From the New YORK Press.

Although nearly all of J. Pierpont
Morgan's art treasures are in his Lon
don house, the contents of his Madison
avenue home are sufficiently valuable
to cause the employment of a watch
man, who never leaves the dining and
drawing rooms unguarded. Mr.. Nor
CAMS most precious antiques are in
the Metropolitan Museum of Art but
the great mahogany sideboard bears
the gold service given to him by Will
liam H. Vanderbilt when he (Morgan)
sold large blocks of New York Central
stock in Europe. This gold service is
said to have cost $50, 000 and in way
is identified closely with the success
of Mr.. Morgan. After the Central sale
he forged to the front as the worlds
greatest financier. The service is a re-
production of the one in the British
royal family. 1t consists of tureen, veg
etable dishes and platters. The Nor
gans are not fond of display, and sell
dom use the gold plates. However,
when Mrs. Morgan entertains. the bot
tom of the tureen is used to hold flow
ers in the center of the table The
table service in ordinary use in the
Morgan home is simple. The dishes are
plain white and gold, although of ex-
cellent quality.

Adrian, Ga, May 13.-This commu-
nifty lost a valued citizen in the death
of DR.. ]. D. Tyson, who died at his
home here Sunday. He had been in
very bad health for several months,
and spent the last two months in the
hospital in Augusta, returning about
a week before his death. DR.. Tyson
was, until his health failed, one of the
leading physicians of this section. He
was prominent in politics and one of
the oldest Masons in this section. His
remains were inferred about one mile
from Adrian on the spot which the doc

COOKS AND WATERS,
BUTCHERS AND BAKERS

Quit Work In Denver and Restau-
rants Are Closed.
Denver, Col, May 1S.-Two hun
bred cooks, 900 walters, 500 butchers
and $50 bakers were called out on
strike to-day by the Pure Food Coun-
Gil. Nearly all the restaurants in the
city are closed.
The butchers walk-out included
those employed at the stock yards and
many of the meat markets. The union
bakers were called out from not only
the houses deemed unfair, but also
from those against which labor has nc
grievance. The cause of the trouble
is the refusal of the various bakeries
and groceries to make contracts with
the unions.
Including the transfers who have
been on strike for several days, the
number of strikers to-day is estimated
at 1900, most of them being butchers
meat handlers, bakers, cooks and
walters.
After a conference with the fire and
police board the General Executive
Committee of organized labor agreed
that there shall be no picketing.

the strike and promising that Parlia-

SHIPS ORDERED AWAY.

Vienna, May 13.-The Austro-Hun-
garian squadron has been ordered to
leave Salonica. The turret ship Wing,
however, will remain there.
The chief danger in the Balkans is
now thought to lie in the turbulence
of the Turkish population, whose fury
against the Christians threatens to
start conhagration. The attitude of
the Turkish government is viewed
with much distrust by diplomats here.
1t is feared that Turkey will permit
the massacre Of Christians, thereby
enabling the Moslems to expend their
wrath.
Immediate developments are waited
with the greatest anxiety.

RAILWAY CONDUCTORS
Will Probably Increase Reserve
Fund and Salaries.

Will Probably Increase Reserve
Fund and Salaries.
Pittsburg, May 13.-The greater part
of the business session of the railway
conductors convention to-day was de-
voted to the consideration of several
changes in the insurance laws, the most
important of which was the proposition
TO increase the reserve fund. For
years this fund has been limited to
$500. 900. At present there is outstand-
ing $50. 000 900 worth of insurance, and
the present sinking fund is considered
entirely too small for such an amount.
A proposition was put forth to-day
to increase the salaries of the officers.
The salary of the chief conductor will
probably be raised from $1,000 per year,
as at present, to $4,000 year, with
proportionate advances for the other
officers.
The. delegates voted almost unani-
mously to-day in favor of continuing
the headquarters of the o. r. c. at
Cedar Rapids. Iowa.

FIGHTING THE BOYCOTT.
Kansas City Employers Form an
Association.

Association.
Kansas City, Mo-, May 13.-The 5000
employers of labor in this city have
banded together to fight the members
of the labor unions, who use the boy
colt to gain their ends, and have form
ed the Employers Association. The
association to-day decided to deliver
goods to those places where non-union
goods are disseminated against. This
action has resulted from a brewing
company, employing union men, refus-
ing to deliver beer to hotel bar, until
the union was recognized. A member
of the association retaliated by refusing
to deliver to the saloons handling this
particular brewery's beer, with the re-
suit that the delivery of beer to the
offending hotel was Immediately re-
sumed.
Several persistent boycotts have been
laid against restaurants and various
branches of trade in Kansas City within
the past year because of the refusal
of employers to recognize unions.

HERMIT is MISSING.
HousebOat Man swept Away by the
ChnttahOOchee.

ChuttahOOchee.
Columbus, Ca, May 1S.-Paul Lavou-
ski. a Hungarian aged about 40 years,
a queer character who has been living
in a houseboat at the Columbus wharf
for the past few months, is missing to-
day. and as his houseboat is also gone,
it is thought that they were swept
away by the high river last night. The
Chattahoochee rose very rapidly, and
II is probable that the hermit" as he
is popularity known, was caught by the
current and carried off.
He lived alone in his queer boat and
led a solitary, mysterious life. One the
ory is that he cast his boat adrift on
purpose, intending to float to the Gulf
but ii is doubtful If his craft lived IN
such a river Lavouski built his boat
in North Georgia, and was several
months floating down to Columbus, his
boat grounding several times.

Schweickardt gave Circuit Attorney
Folk several new leads in legislative

THE IRRIGATION QUESTION.

Roosevelt's years of ranch life in
the west have given him a much bet
ter knowledge OF conditions and of re-
quirements than any OF his p~rcdeces-
sors in the presidential chair have pos
sessed. He understands the impor-
lance Of irrigation, and has been a
constant supporter Of a policy that
will ensure great development along
this line. Perhaps the president does
not know. perhaps he does. that Of all
the states and territories OF the arid
region. New Mexico has been most
abundantly endowed by nature from
an irrigation standpoint. Southern
California has been transformed into
a garden, and not a shrub will grow
there without irrigation. Yet the to-
tai product Of California streams for
a year would not equal in volume the
waters that 60 to waste in New Mex
leo every spring. Intelligent conser-
walton and an economical irrigation
system has solved the problem in Cal
ifornia. Colorado. Arizona and Wyo-
ming ire SURPRISING lis In the irriga-
ton OF our lands.
With the notable exception OF the
Pecos valley, our agricultural deyel-
opment is still confined to narrow rib
bons along the edges Of tbs streams.
The waters Of the Rio Grande. Pecos,
Canadian, to say nothing of scores of
mountain streams Of lesser magni
tHde, properly conserved and applied,
might irrigate a continent. As 1t Is,
millions of dollars are as ruthlessly
wasted as would be the products Of
New Mexico gold mines If the shining
metal were cast into the sea.
II a little of the energy spent by
New Mexicans in securing capital to
develop mines that fury r rrw re-
pay disiderds somn T~.Y9y az. -v

Irrigation projects, the territory would

The injury to the good name of the
