F|FTY-SEVEN VARIETIES
QUOTED ON WIND MARKET
Weather Man Tries to Compile
Whole Years Almanac in
a Single Day.

The weather man made desperate effort
TO satisfy the many and various demands
for weather in one day yesterday and the
opinion of the public is that he well sue
ceeded. In the forenoon he started out
with clear sky and a pleasant atmos-
phere, which was more than the most
chronic kicker could ask. This was closely
followed by showers. which gradually grew
into lightning and thunderstorms. Before
O'Clock a brisk breeze had started up,
and by fires were being started in the
furnace, and discarded winter overcoats
were brought into service. AT o'clock,
however the temperature again began TO
rise until il comfortable for persons
clad in summer clothes. Spring weather is
promised again for to-day, and the gar
dener can resume his work.
During yesterdays severe electrical storm
lightning struck a large tree at the south
west corner of New York and Alabama
streets, not more than six feet from the
small brick Spiritualist Church. The tree
was not felled, but line of the bark was
stripped from top TO bottom of the trunk,
and large pieces of wood were hurled by
the force of the shock to a distance of more
than hundred feet. No one was injured.

QUAYS GRIP ON LIFE

Virtual Recluse in His Atlantic
City Cottage, He Feels the
Decline of His Powers.
OBEYS MEDICAL. ORDERS

ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., April 25.-
United States Senator NJ. S. Quay. defiant
and stoical of singing caricature, cartoon
ing and political attack, Is as sensitive as
a child over the paragraphs which appear
in print concerning his health. Almost a
prisoner in a luxurious cottage on Pacific
avenue. allowed on the Boardwalk only
when the temperature is mild and pleasant
and when the sun is shining, he spends his
time reading and in silent communion with
himself. either in his room or in big
rocker on the piazza of his residence.
The senator is enduring the orders of
his doctor bravely, but the fighting spirit
which has always been his sustaining
power in warding off the sapping of his
wonderful vitality in the past is not with
him in the present struggle The doctors
cannot shake him from believing that he
is about to relinQuish the reins of political
power he has held nearly all his life.
The senator is surrounded. not exactly
with guards, but with relatives and domes-
tics who decline to permit any one to talk
to him. and they are constantly reiterating
the report that the senator is improved"
The name of the physician who is attend
ing him is suppressed in order that there
may be no leak to cause the political auto
crat of Pennsylvania any alarm or irrita-
ton. His exact physical condition is not
known. 1t is certain, however, that ne has
not reached the critical stage which has
gained currency, for he frequently exer-
cises on the Boardwalk, rides in roller
chairs and has been out driving. There is
no indication of the collapse which has
been reported as imminent. and 1t is these
statements which vex the senator. 1t is
certain that he sees no one on any pre-
tense except FOR social calls. and they are
purely because of the companionship they
afford.
So far as the senator's personal appear
ance goes. those who have seen him say
that. save for the loss of weight, he appears
10 them the same as when he was known
to be In good health. He was always ST.
lent, and he Is the same now, while he Is

Two years ago IL became apparent that
the schools were employing about all the
teachers there were i'm Indian Territory.
Last year there scarcity. and in order
TO fill the vacancies the superintendent had
to take most any teacher he could get,

SUPREME COURT RULES
AGAINST c. /. MOVER
President of Western Federation
of Miners VIII Be Held in
Military Prison.
STATES PEACE INVOLVED

DENVER, April 25.-The State Supreme
Court to-day denied the motion for the
lease of Charles II. Meyer, president of the
Western Federation of Miners, on bail
pending decision on the habeas corpus
proceedings in his behalf. The hearing on
the merits of the case was set for May 8.
Meantime Meyer will be held as prisoner
in the military bull pen at Telluride.
The opinion on the question of admitting
Meyer to bail was delivereds by Justice
Steele, in part as follows:
I'm the case at the BAR the respondent,
General Bell declares that he detans the
petitioner of military necessity, and that
he has been commanded by the Governor
not to surrender the petitioner either on
writ of habeaS corpus or otherwise.
''If the liberty of the petitioner alone were
involved should probably resolve the
doubt in his favor. admit him to BAH and
determine the question of jurisdiction aft
erwards, but the head of the executive de-
partment of the State has stated in his re-
turn to the writ that in his solemn judg
ment, peace and tranquility cannot be
speedily restored to the county of San Mig
uel unless the petitioner remains in the GUS
tody of the military authorities. Therefore,
the matter involved affects not only the
liberty of the petitioner. but the peace of
the people of San Miguel and incidentally
the tranquility of the people Of the entire
State.
ITO admit the petitioner to bail before
we have determined the main question
would, 1t seems to me, be invading the legit-
innate province of the executive depart
ment. and that we are restrained from do
ing by the fundamental law.
The Supreme Court also granted the ap-
plication of Adjutant General Bell and Cap
tain Bulkeley Weles for writ OF super
sedeas to stay the execution OF the judg-
Ouray, declaring Bell and Welles I'm con-
tempt of court and filming them each $500
for failing to produce the person of Meyer

MONKEYS AT A DINNER PARTY

Youths Companion.-Monkey are
frequent visitors to the houses in
Simla They come in troops, seam
per about over the tall trees, swing
ing themselves from branch to branch
and leaping about after the manner
of their kind. The tree-tops about many
of the bungalows are on level with
the balconies. They thus afford ex-
cellent cover for the monkeys, should
it please them to enter and help them
selves to food or anything else An
amusing story is told of Lady Barker's
first dinner-party at Simula.
DESTROYS of having a pretty table
Lady Barker had herself expended
much care in decorating it. She had
just received from Europe certain
dainty china figures and ornamental
dishes. and had arranged a tempting
show of sweetmeats, flowers and
fruit.
When dressing time came Lady
Barker charged her servants to be on
the watch and take care of everything;
but something of interest occurred out
side, and every servant left the room,
quite forgetting to close an open win
dow. Before this window was a big
tree on which sat several monkeys,
which had watched the preparations
for dinner with much interest
A half-hour later the hostess APP
peared, ready to receive her guests
Just to be sure that everything was
right, she gave glance into the dim
ingrcom. There she beheld a busy
company of monkeys hard at work.
grinning and jabbering, their cheeks
and arms crammed with expensive
sweetmeats, while the table presented
a scene of frightful devastation
broken glass and china, fair linen soil
ed, everything tossed about in hopeless
confusion.
From this wreck she had to turn
aside and welcome her guests with as
much ease of manner as possible and
dinner had to be deferred until order
could be restored. There were no
decorations on TIE table that day, but
when the circumstances became
known that dinner-party was one of
the most noted that Simla ever had.

i Any greater extension of individual

IL seems TO US that every proper and
reasonable assertion OF the power of

society from excessive encroachment

safeguards against socialism by taking
the argument out of its mouth: by
affording a far greater security to So

certain that such unrestricted develop

might be peaceful revolution, which
transferred the power of government
itself to the few who had gained the

the possession of wealth. Among a

would more likely be a violent revolu-

state socialism, ending as usual in en-

The best protection against social
ism is a strong, just and intelligent
government, able to repress at the
same time the tyranny of the many
and the oppression of the few. Gov
eminent performs the same high and
vital function of safeguarding the
mass of society when it checks a de-
velopment of individual power and
wealth menacing to the general as
when it puts down riotous mob. bent
on destroying property or life. 1t
must be confessed that these are big
words to apply to the Northern Securi-
ties decision. That dealt only with a
device for perpetuating the accom-
plishment to socialism, it is proper to
point out that the fundamental prin
ciple back of it is the strongest pro-
lection against socialism that govern,
men can afford.
