The continued talk of sending the
"Baltic feet" to the east must be found
ed on an official belief that the late
Phineas T. Barnum was mistaken in the
nationality when he declared that the
American people enjoyed being hum
bugged. They must be Russians who
most enjoy the sensation Of being de-
ceived for the profit of others and un-
deceived at their own expense. But for
an appreciation Of the colossal follies of
which Russia is capable, the sending OF
the "Baltic fleet" to the cast would be
declared impossible. The claim is now
made that this phantom armada con-
sists OF FIVE battleships, five cruisers and
ten small vessels. A short time ago
there was said to be sixty of these ves-
sells. The loss of forty of them by the
simple process of cleaning the slate is
small matter.

ATHENA, SEPTEMBER 8, 1904

Eugene V. Debs, rated to be hair
Drained and radical, has expressed the
belief that in the outrages committed by
negroes IN the south that section Of the
country is reaping the reward of the
lust of white men in other years, and he
is correct. The outrages are not COM
mitted by full blood negroes. There is
not more tractable race in the world
than the negro of pure African blood.
The opinion expressed by Debs is not
new, and should therefore not be con-
sidered startling. There is not parti-
colored skin in the south that is not an
accusation against the honor OF some
white man. There is every reason to
believe that the chivalry is related by
blood to the most contemplate and the
most dangerous of the so-called negro
population. 1t is probable that the
blood Of the same ancestors, diverted to
sewers, flows in the veins Of the lyncher
and the lynched, that it gives life to
both the assaulted and the assailant.

Bucks Hot
Blast Heaters

We have just recevid our large Fall stock of these
heaters and have them on the floor. We
could use whole page of this newspaper in which to
tell you of the many good qualities of this heater Brief
ly will say that the Buck Hot Blast represents posi-
lively the very name of perfection It is the heater we
would sell you rather than any other on account OF its
admitted superiority over all Others and account of
the friend making qualities
Here the heater that has entirely passed the expert
mental stage; heater that will burn any kind of fuel
with equal facility heater that will burn most satistac
toy the cheapest kind of soft coal or aack and reduce
it to ne white ASH heater that will do the same work
for eight hours that the average stove will do in two or
three hours.
The principle is entirely dfferentth fire keeping
qualities much superor-to any other heater made
that you cannot really afford to any other. Every
bit of gas is burned well as the coal ITSELF and as soft
coal is principally gas you readily see this immense
advantage
You get steady, even heat all night long by using
soft coal the if you used hard coal It will
hold fire "a hours easy will actually save the cost
of the heater in three seasons and is the best
and cheapest heater you buy. Come and see
them whether you wish to buy not.

bat Not Rsducsd--carrlss an ApprO-
prIation Of S47s 900.

Washington, April 9.--The house OF
representatives, without roIIcall, or
even so much as rising vote, yester-
day afternoon parsed the Lewis and
Clark exposition bill carrying an ag-
gregate appropriation Of e475, 900.
The bill was passed 38 minutes after
special rule providing for its consid-
Grafton was laid before the house,
thereby breaking the record Of the class
of legislation that always leads to pro-
tracted discussion.
The bill passed in the same form as
reported by Tawney's committee on
March 28. In addition to appropriate
ing $475 900, it authorizes the coin
ing Of 250,000 souvenir gold dollars,
which virtually amounts to total ap-
preparation Of s725, 600. In reality,
congress is aiding Portland far more
than appears from these figures.
Chairman Tawney, speaking on this
point, said:
"The SAFE, 900 allotted for govern
ment buildings and exhibits is equiva
lent, under other circumstances, to an
appropriation of between 5000, 900 and
500, 900 for the Portland exposition,
because the government exhibit has al
ready been assembled at st. Louis, and
will only require transportation TO
Portland, thereby saving that city the
cost Of assembling new government
exhibit"
The passage of the bill removes the
last doubt as to the fate of the Lewis
and Clark appropriation. The bill
that is finally agreed upon and signed
by the president will carry at least the
amount contained in the bill passed by
the house, and may possibly be in
creased. There can be no decrease.
ANY change must be in the nature of a
compromise between the senate and
the house bills.

CHAPTER XXI.

Sedge Hill was more desolate after
Mary Holland had departed. Though
Miss Holland knew It not, she had been
the ruling agent Of that house, for good
or evil, for longer period than that from
which the opening Of our story dates. A
forlorn little woman, set forever under
suspicion by an adverse fate beyond her
power to resist, she was still to be missed
when she had passed from the homo into
which Simon Culwick's charity had in
stalled her.
The news reached Thomas Eastbell
when Wills had brought him his lunch
Into the picture gallery after he had rung
for It, not before. It was strange what
a small amount of respect he had gained
from the servants during his stay, and
with what distrust he was regarded
In response to one or two questions, the
news was eliclted from the man servant
that Miss Holland had left Sedge Hill for
good.
''And good job, too" said Thomas
Eastbell frankly and lnelegantly; what
did the old gal want with her about the
place? It's full enough now Of people

CROWS LEARN TO FISH.

Taught by GulIs, They Have Now Be
come Experts.
'See those crows flying low over the
water out thereT' said a Santa Fe
railroad conductor the other day, as
his train was speeding along near the
Desplaines river. below Joliet They
are the smartest birds you ever saw.
I've been watching them for a year.
and all others will have to take a
lower perch when they are around.
Maybe you think those crows are
just flying about for the fun Of It.
Fact is, they are very busy. They're
fishing, and they have the petrels,
gulls, and hawks beat at their own
game. Never heard Of crows that
fish? We can't stop and watch 'em,
but IL we could you'd see am right.
"It's a new industry, so to speak,
with them. Two years ago a crow
didn't know a thing about the pisca-
torial art. But when the drainage
canal was opened the gulls followed 1t
from Lake Michigan, and they have
taught the crows how to catch nice
sinner. Now the river along here Is
almost black with crows, as you can
see for yourself.
when the gulls first appeared here
abouts and few over the water look
ing for fish the crows sat on the trees
and waited until the lake fowl had
made a catch. Then the crow would
swoop down from the tree and chase
the gull until it dropped the fish.
Very often the gull would get away,
and the crow would have to fly back
hungry. They are wiser now, and not
only do their own fishing, but they
have driven most of the gulls away.
"T've seen crows by the dozen sitting
In these low trees watching the gulls
skim slowly down the river. Every
time a gull would dip into the water
the crows would strike after 1t and
rob 1t Of the prey.
"When the gulls left the valley the
crows began fishing for themselves
The only trouble with them was they
couldn't fly slow enough, and they
didn't seem to want to take to the
water when they saw a fish, They
have got bravely over that now. They
sit on floating boards or ice and keel
an eye on the water, and viii catcl
two fish while gull is catching one.
"Some people say that bird learns
only by instinct to do thing like this
but this is a case where the crows
have been taught by other birds, They
are the champion fishers of the Des
PLANES valley, and wouldn't be sur
prised If they would teach all thu
other crows until they win becom,
known as water fowl. TIN be prett!
hard to teach 'em to swim but they'v,
got the fighting art down to q I'm,
point."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

San Francisco, April 9.--Mrs. Cor
della Botkin, accused of killing Mrs.

sending her poisoned candy through
the mails. was tonight convicted Of
murder in the first degree, with the
penalty fixed at life imprisonment.
The jury was charged late this af-
ternoon, and at 4:3C o'clock retired to
deliberate. Later they were taken out
for dinner and upon returning asked to
have some testimony read to them.
At 1I:l5 o'clock the the jury reported
that an agreement had been reached.
The ominousness of the announce
ment was apparent In the attitude Of
the defendant, who buried her face in
her hands and remained in that po-
sition until the foreman of the jury
had finished speaking. The court in
quired if a verdict had been arrived
at, and the foreman handed him a slip
of paper upon which was written:
''We, the jury, find the defendant,
Cordelia Botkin, guilty of murder in
the first degree, and fix the punishment
at imprisonment for life. !"
Mrs. Botkin looked up az the court
was thanking the jurors for their close
attention to the case, and presented a
woe-stricken countenance to her coun-
sell, who spoke some comforting words
to her.

OFFICE SECRETS OUT.
StsnOgrapher Gives Alleged Methods Of
Land Buyers.

San Francisco, April 9.--Sensational
testimony was given today in the hear
ing before United States Commissioner
Heacoek in the Hyde and DimoDd land
conspiracy case. Mrs. Belle A. Curtis.
who was stenographer for Hyde from
October, 1897, to November, 1899, was
the chief witness, and her evidence
went TO show that affidavits were man
ufactuTed by Wholesale In the Office;
also that Hyde and John A.. Benson
we're partners in the alleged conspiracy
to defraud the government. She de-
clared Hyde and Benson employed
"dummies'' to make out applications
for school lands, and that the colored
janitor was frequnetly instructed to
bring IN his friends 10 apply for school
lands for their own use, and were then
piloted to q neighboring notary to
make afidayits. She said that assign
ments Of these claims to Hyde and Ben
son were often made at the same time.
She said the plan Of Hyde and Ben
son was To have these school lands in
Oregon and California transferred to
forest reserves, with the assistance of
corrupt govern ment officials. When
the lands we're so transferred, the as
signees Of the school land scrip had the
privilege Of exchanging their holdings
for more valuable lands outside Of the
reservation.
Thomas McCusker, freight agent Of
the Southern Pacific, at Portland, Or,
testified that he had secured many ap-
plications of school lands in Oregon for
John H Schneider, who was Hyde's
agent. Mr.. .McCusker said he received
pay for his services, but he did not
know that he was engaged in an illegal
business.
Miss Marian Doyle, who succeeded
Miss Curtis as Hyde's stenographer,
will testify at the next hearing.
