"To the city" replied the doctor
promptly, where he will not live con-

Jim Hill Now Has Clear Sailing in
Oriental Traffic.
New York, Oct. 19.-J. d. Farrell of
Seattle, assistant to President Hill of
the Great Northern, who spent several
months in Asia arranging future trade
for Mr.. Hills big ships, was in New
York this week. He says a declara-
ton of peace in the rate war between
the Pacific Mail & Oriental Steamship
company, with a complete restoration
Of rates, clears the atmosphere for
development of oriental trade in the
future. Mr.. Hills Asiatic service be-
gins next spring, the second freighter
being launched in December. He says
the deal with the Grand Trunk rail
road, whereby the latter will send all
its Pacific freight via the Northern
Securities lines and Great Northern
steamships to Asia is farreaching.
1t is considered here that this is a
declaration of war against the Ca
madam Pacific to draw traffic from the
latter's oriental vessels, and will add
much tonnage to the Hill ships in both
directions. The Grand Trunk has had
an agreement with the Burlington for
interchange of traffic at Chicago for
some time. Mr.. Farrell says the Great
Northern ocean line will do nothing
to demoralize rates again. There is
talk here Of a secret pool which will
have an understanding with the Ca.
madam Pacific, if possible, for an
equitable division of tonnage. It is
not illegal to form an ocean combina-
ton.
Federal Officers Mistake.
San Francisco, Oct. 19.-Through a
blunder of federal law officer two
men under sentence of Imprisonment
were released by the court of appeals.
The prisoners are Charles Mackey and
]. Archie Mcleod. They were con.
victed of having, on July &c, 1902, fired
with a revolver and shotgun upon c.
7. Stranahan, superintendent of the
Nez Perez reservation in Idaho while
Stranahan was making a search for
spirituOus liquors which had been un.
lawfully introduced into the reserva.
ton. The prisoners were prosecuted
under section of can act to further
prevent smuggling and for other pur
poses"
Judge Gilbert, in rendering the opin
ion of the court of appeals, said:
ut is as clear as words can make
It that the act refers only to offenses
committed against officers of the Gus
rom. their deputies and persons as
sisting them in the execution OF thei1
duties, and that it has no application
to an act done in resistance of an In
dian agent in making searches or seiz
ures upon an Indian reservation"

THE GIRLS CONVERTED HIN.
Bad Boy Given an Effective Lesson
in Manners.

Two little girls were innocently
and happily walking home from
school when a bad boy began to
call them names. He had no pro-
vocation, only he was naturally
pugnacious, and wanted to pick
row with some one. The two little
girls offered splendid opportunity,
for they were such unassuming,
good-appearing little girls. So he
hurled various vile epithets at
them. There was a hurried consulta-
ton, and the two girls smiled at
the bad boy. He stopped calling
names and stared at them.
"Come over here they called
sweetly. They were such nice little
girls that there was no reason why
he should not obey; besides, he
was curious. He came over. With a
rush they pounced upon him, threw
him down and sat on him, and
commanded him to say the Lords
Prayer. Suffering with rage, the
bad boy repeated the supplication,
I land then he was allowed TO go.
The little girls talked excitedly.
Well" one of them said, 81
guess he won't talk that way any
more; we've converted him, and
that's what that man said last Sun
day we ought to do."-New York

the medium OF the wireless system
word came ashore to the station mere
at 6:45 last night that the American
line steamship st. Louis, for whose
safety there has been some anxiety,
was within twenty-four hours san Oh
Sandy Hook. Just what the trouble is
on board the liner could not be ascer'
tanned because OF the inability Of those
on the South Shoals lightship, forty
miles southeast of here, TO read her
signals, but the conclusion reached
was that either her steam power was
low because OF leaky boilers, or she
had broken one of her twin shafts and
was coming into port under one pro-
pelier. At 6 40 the men on the light
ship caught sight OF the st. Louis
miles away. Having seen her pass
and repass many times they were able
to identify her as the craft long over.
due at New York, and the wireless
operator on the ship Immediately tel
egraphed the glad tidings to the sta
ton here and a message was sent at
once to the Office OF the American
line in New York. The lightship men
sent word to the station here that the
st. Louis was proceeding on her
course for New York at very slow
speed, and unless she could increase
It they judged from the rate she was
travelling that she could not reach
Sandy Hook until this evening.
