Why the Suitor Chose the Ssoutest.
An amusing method Of securing the
marriage Of his five daughters has
been adopted by wealthy tradesman
in Berlin. As suitors were not appar.
emily inclined to seek the hands and
affections Of the daughters, the father
advertised that he would pay to the
accepted suitor of each daughter q

ately after the wedding ceremony. A
young lawyer was the first who sub
mitted himself for the fathers ap-
proval, and. having produced satisfac.
tory evidence as to his respectability.
he was presented to the daughters. He
visited them for a week. and then
chose the stoutest Of the five, to whom
he was yesterday married. When the
ceremony was over the lady was

TO LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES.
Plan Of Philadelphia Physicians as
Cure for Consumption,

Plan Of Philadelphia Physicians as a
Cure for Consumption.
A new idea for the treatment of tu-
berculosis has been adopted in Philadel-
phia where patients suffering from the
disease are to live in glass houses. The
institution will be known as the Phila-
delphia hospital, which comprises six
payilions, each to accommodate 1S pa
tients. There is no more metal about
the pavilions than is actually required
for frame work, and surrounding each
pavilion is six-foot porch enclosed with
glass. The inside glass is ribbed suffi-
ciently to make it Opaque and is set in
frames reaching 30 feet above the floor
and arranged to open automatically like
doors. The glass of the porches is clear
and transparent. The buildings nay be
occupied during both summer and win
ter. The heating apparatus in the base
ment includes blower which forces
the warm air through metal conduits into
the apartment where the patient is re-
ceiving treatment. The floor in each
pavilion is of cement and in the rear of
each is glazed brick structure, contain
ing the kitchen, bath and toilet rooms.
The cost of constructing the glass houses
was S114,00O.

quire the cooperation Of the police, as
the people on the isthmus had no idea of
sanitary principles, he said, to make the
territory healthful. He estimated the
cost at S2,O00,OO0. The completion of
the canal, he said, could be accomplished
in eight or nine years.
Answering Mr.. Hepburn, Prof. Burr
said that where men are careless in their
habits on the isthmus the mortality is
high. He had not heard, he said, that
thousand men lost their lives for every
mile so far as work has been done, nor
had he ever heard Of graveyard con-
tanning 5000 graves of laborers, or of the
fact that Of 800 Chinese 500 died in three
months.
Prof. Burr was subjected to many
questions, bearing mostly on the amount
of excavation by the two French COM
panies, and said they had excavated
about 100000 yards, two-thirds of
which was useful, leaving 1,OOO, ,OOO, 900
cubic yards still to be excayated.
The Hocking sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1871-1906, 1904-03-24

were in support of that contention.
Whether free and unrestrained competi-
ton was wise. he said, was an economic
question with which the court need not
concern itself; the question was that Of
statutory law.
The suit was instituted by the United
States against the Northern Securities
Company aud the three railroad COM
pnnies-the Northern Pacific, the Great
Northern and the Burlington-and their
leading stockholders for the purpose of
dissolving the merger of the two roads,
which the United States declared had
been created by the formation of hold
ing company. This consolidation was al
legged to be in violation of the Sherman
antitrust law. 1t was claimed on be-
half of the government that the consoli-
dation was in effect pool created to
promote the interests not of one system
ut the expense of the other, but Of both
ut the expense of the public. The rail-
roads claimed that the transfer of the
stock of the two companies to the securi-s
ties company was in the nature Of ssh
and perfectly legitimate.

The Light Brigade.

That the charge of the Light Brigade
seemed to Onlookers piece Of mag
nificent folly is evident from all remin-
iscences of that day. First came the
attack of the Heavy Brigade upon
three thousand Russian cavalry. Then,
later in the day. the attempt to re-
capture seven guns taken from the
Turks by the Russians in their first ad-
vance upon the redoubts led to the
charge of the Light Brigade.

was but one thought. What foolsv
we said. We never dreamed they would
charge"
Ivan Ivanovitch, Russian survivor
of the day, says in his "Recollections::"
I'VE were so sorry for them. They
were fine soldiers, and had such fine
horses. But the chargAit was the
maddest thing ever done. We could
not understand it. l had been in the
charge by the Heavy Brigade in the
morning, and was wounded. We had
all unsaddled and were tired. Sudden
ly there was a cry, The English are
comingv
'.Our colonel was angry, and ordered
the men to give no quarter.
81 was lying down with my wound
when I saw them coming.
We thought they were drunk. from the
way they held their lances Instead
of carrying them under their armpits
they waved them in the air. OF course,
they were easier to guard against like

Those men were mad, and never
seemed to think of the tremendous
numbers against them, nor of the fear
full slaughter that had taken place in
their ranks during that desperate ride.
Then they neared us, and dashed in
among us, shouting. cheering and
cursing. l never saw anything like it
They were irresistible, and our men
were quite demOralized."

: For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me-, March 21st.-
Mrs. A. L. Smith, of this place, says
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith
emphasizes her Recommendation by the
following experience:
MY daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it Is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last a week and
would then pass of. In a month she
would have the spells again. At these
times she would eat very little and was
very yellow, even the whites Of her
eyes would be yellow.
'1The doctors gave us no encourage
ment; they all said they could not help
her. After taking one box of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad
spell. OF course, we continued the
treatment until she had used in all
about a dozen boxes, and we still give
them to her professionally, when she IS
hot feeling well. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are certainly the best medicine for
growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice Of
Mrs. Smith, for by so doing they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and ensure a healthy, happy
future for them.

ADMIT MANY MURDERS.
Members of Chicago Car Barn Can
Tell of Their Crimes

uC"DcTS OI SuICaSO AaT barn 1au&
Tell of Their Crimes.
The Chicago car barn bandits, con-
yicted and sentenced TO death, are now
confessing crimes that have long mysti
fed the authorities. Peter Niedemeyer,
the brains of the gang, admits killing
twenty-three men, one for every year
of his life. Gustav Marx remembers
numbering eight persons. Marx declared
in a confession that he was one of the
three men who held up the Chicago and
Northwestern express train at Tower
W, near DeKalb, four years ago. The
crime, which has passed into history as
one Of the most desperate ever commit
ted in or about Chicago, has never been
accounted for.
Marx says both his confederates in the
crime are dead and refuses to give their
names. One of them, he declares, died
with his boots on" The railway author
tiles admitted loss of 100000 by the
robbery. Marx says the robbers secured
only $1,000, the rest of the money hav-
ing been destroyed by the explosion of
dynamite used to crack the safe.
81 used dynamite for the first time in
the tower robbery and made bungle
of it," Marx said. 1--WE tied and gagged
the tower man and then tagged the train.
One Of my pals had got the dynamite in
California. 1 placed big lot of it on
top Of the safe, and when it went off it
not only wrecked the safe but most of
the money inside. With a swag of SS,-
600 we came back to Chicago, although
the police were under the impression we
headed for Omaha.
Besides John B. johnson, killed at
the car barns; Detective Quinn, killed at
the time of my arrest, and Otto Bauder,
whom Roeski is generally supposed to
have killed. have killed five other men,"
If Peter Niedemeyer's story is to be
he has killed man for every |
year of his life.
81 have killed twenty-three men and |
seventeen" he declared. "In-
nocent men are serving time for my |
crimes in more than one penitentiary.
Rewards amounting to SIG, 800 are out
standing for me in different States. l
will confess these crimes il the police
will give me a written promise to give
part of the reward to my old mother"

A WOMAN nelR-nuNrtR.
.~~~~~O


American women, whose successful
Invasion Of Great Britain is a general.
ly accepted fact, have pushed their
conQuests farther. They have gone
even into the Chanda jungle. where, in
the person of Mrs. Donnet, the wife Of
an English army officer on service in
India, the American woman recently
shot the biggest tiger ever killed in
that country Of big game. The beast
measured ten feet eight inches in
length, had a perfect coat, and teeth
two inches long. 1t took sixteen men
to carry him to camp. yet he fell at the
first shot Of slender young woman,
whose account Of her exploit is GER
tainly thrilling enough to be quoted
from the Chicago Record Herald.
I am a sort Of a ''big-bug" in camp
now, she writes In home letter. The
natives bow down and kiss the hem
Of my dress, for am the first lady
who has ever shot in these great jun
giles. All, an a lucky beggar! Sc
just listen while I tell you about It.
We heard that tiger had killed
lot Of deer in a piece Of bamboo jungle
about six miles of, so Timmins (her
husband and got about forty beaters
together and took up our positions near
an open space, while the beaters, driv-
ing six buffalo in front Of them, went
into the jungle with horns and drums
and made hideous notes. After about
half an hour, when the beat was near
ly up to my tree, I saw what first
took for deer gliding through the
high grass and bamboo, when sudden
ly huge tiger was revealed to my as
tonished eyes. He was going full bat
so saw that 1t must be then or never,
and although it was very blind shot.
/ let blaze at the vanishing stripes as
they flashed through the bamboo.
A roar and a rush told me the beast
was hit, but could see nothing, as the
jungle was so dense. When the shikar
came up told him where I had fired,
and then got down, and with loaded
rifles we approached the spot. About
ten yards from where fred lay the
great monster-dead!
The shikar and all but Rugged in
our excitement, and when the beaters
came up our hhrrahs brought Timmins
tumbling down out Of his tree, and his
joy and pride quite touched me.
I had already shot three bears, two
panthers and tiger, besides all sorts {,
Of deer and other smaller beasts; but
when I saw that great striped body,
oh, so beautifully yellow and black!
lying there slain by my own hands. 1t
was the proudest and happiest moment
Of my life, and shall never forget my
feeling of exultation.

Chinese Exclusion.

The existing treaty of immigration
between China and the United States
expires December s, 1904, if six
months notice before that date is
given by eiSler country. 1t is reason
ably certain that China has, or will
give, the necessary formal notice, for
as construed by our government the
Chinese are entirely dissatisfied with
the treaty.
The Roosevelt administration seems
entirely ObliviOus to the Importance of
immediate attention to this important
matter, for if the treaty expires and no
other takes its place, either our entire
trade with China will be jeopardized
or the doors will have to be open to
unlimited Chinese immigration. 1t will
will be impossible to demand of China
the open door for our goods and those
of our people who wish to go to that
country and deny the Chinese similar
favors.
The Roosevelt administration doubt
less does not wish the Chinese ques-
ton to be brought to the attention of
the country before the national elec-
