A Cure for Mosquitoes.

When Gen. Thomas L. Watson is
mot engaged in his regular business of
thanking and broking' he occasional
ly puts in good word for Black Rock
up near Bridgeport, Conn, where he
has a summer home. Sometimes his
former partner, George r. Gibson, of
Tuxedo, puts in a word for the "boom-
er," as he did the other day. Of
course Gen. Watson insisted that
there were no mosquitoes at Black
Rock. which prompted Mr. Gibson to
tell this story of a Tuxedo neighbor
who went to Black Rock to spend the
night With a friend who was given to
occasional conyivialities:
The Black Rocker wasn't on hand
to receive the Tuxedo party, but a
made him as much at home as pos
sihle, assuring the visitor that the
missing cottage owner would be back
in the morning. That night the Tux
edoan had an amending battle with tha
n osquitos, and after a sleepless night
rose for an early breakfast irritated
and angry from lack of sleep. At his
solitary meal he asked sullenly Of tho
negro servitor:
81 say, Sam, how does Your master
manage to exist in this mosquito in
tested hole?"
'Well, sah," was the reply. You
see, Marse George he only home night,
when he at home at all. When he

 The press enthusiastically ilails the pro- posed reforms which are based on the manifesto of Ma-h Il, 1903, the newspa- pers reiterating that this is the greatest step for the bettermen of the conditions of the peasantry since the emancipation of the serfs.
 . The ukase is welcomed by the Liberals, although the Eovosti remarks that 1t Is a pity that the peasants themselves are not empowered specifically to send dele gates" The drafting committee proposes the laws shall be guided by the following aims:
 First-To harmonize the existing pea sant legislation with modern require- ments.
 second-To reorsanize the courts in or der to expedite the settlement of vil- lage disputes.
 Third-To define individual rights re. garding communal lands. &
 Fourth-To discover means for stimulat. ing Individual enterprise and the adop- tion of modern farming methods.
 Fifth-To settle disputes between the peasants and neighboring land owners.
 sixth-To instil in the peasant respect for the laws and rights of property.
 The new laws will only be applicable to the provinces of European Russia where reliable statistics and data are available. without which the drafting committee declines to undertake the task

TEMPLE ENDANGERED
FIRE IN HOME OF THE CHICAGO
 MASONS.
Elevator Men Stuck to Their Posts Despite the Great Clouds Of Smoke and All Oocu-
 pants Escaped.

Chicago, Jan. 23.-Fire in the Masonic Temple, to-day caused a panic among inc 4,O00 occupants of the building and damaged the stock and fixtures Of ten ants to the extent of $20,000.
 All occupants of the building escaped without serious injury through the bray cry of the elevator men. who remained at their posts. operating their cars while dense clouds of smoke filled the build ing. ..,. -. . on the fifth floor occupied by Robert Friedlander and Company, manufactur- are of X-rav apparatus. A lighted match careIesslv thrown by an employe into a nile of excelsior lying in corner of the hacking room is believed to have started the fire. There was large num- her of X-ray vacuum tubes stored in the company's rooms and these exploded the moment the heat reached them.
 Robert Friedlander, senior member Of the firm, anticipated the danger from these tubes. and worked until overcome by the smoke dropping them out Of the window.
 The fire spread rapidly from the pack ing room to the other rooms and Tn a few minutes the entire suite was Tn flames and the light shaft Of the pulid- ing was filled with flames.
 The thousands of occupants Of the building with the memory of the lro- quois theater disaster which occurred but one half square away, fresh in thelr minds, were alarmed when clouds of smoke filled every floor and rushed to the elevators. Many women fainted in the scramble to get into the elevators, but none were seriously injured. The large building was emptied within half an hour after the fire Was discovered. Hundreds of men and women groped their way through the smoke and came down the stairs.

THE TRIAL OF MOSLEY
ALLEGED WHrTECAPPER O.
 WASHINGTON COUNTY.
Charge of Arson in the First Degree is Dismissed and in Other Cases He Is Bound
 Over.

St. Stephens, Jan. 2s.-(special.)-The preliminary hearing before Judge J.. Brawles of Turner Moseley. a white man, charged with arson and assault to mur- der, ended yesterday.
 The trial began Thursday and during it's progress much excitement prevailed in St, Stephens and in fact throughout northeast Washington, in which locality the deeds were alleged to have been com mitted.
 The burning of houses In this county dates back more than two years, when the saw and grist mill of J. B. Bosworth was destroyed by fire about the hour of midnight About eighteen months later MT. Bosworth's turpentine still together with a large quantity of spirits of tur- pentine and rosin, was set ablaSe and con- stunned.
 There were nothing after this to disturb the peace and quietude of the community up to January g. That night between the hours of 10 and o'clock, the Powell Field Colored Church was burned. as was an old and abandoned church building which stood nearby.
 A short distance from these churches lived Joe Atchison. white. a respected and worthy farmer. the firebugs paid their respects to this gentleman by burning down his barn. containing about 13O bush
  quantity of seed cotton. The next visit was to the home of Dan Grimes, a negro mail rider. Two or more volleys were fired into the building. caus- ing a panic among the inmates, none of them, however. being injured. At the preliminary hearing, which be- gan Thursday and ended yesterday, the evidence introduced by the State, was al- together circumstantial, although very closely linked.
 Witness Dan Grimes, colored. whose house was fired into, produced in court a piece of paper on which was written threat, made to Willis Sete, also cOl- ored, warning him to leave the county or death would be the penalty. The paper was signed "The Dalton Gang" The writing on the note was compared with the handwriting of the defendant and was positively identified to by one wit ness.. Another witness partially testi- fled to the identity of tracks found in the vicinity of the burned barn as correspond ing with tracks made by shoes worn by the defendant as testified to by Joe l Atchison, who sustained the loss of a , barn.
 A negro, spergeon Curtis. testified that the defendant Turner Mosly. offered him one dollar to burn the barn a week pre- yious to the time it was destroyed. The defendant did not use any of his | witnesses. endeavoring to show by argu- ment that no case had been made out by the State.
 The verdict of the court was the dis
 nlissal of arson in the hyS9 degree, in

Out of Crew of Ten Only Two Were
 Saved.

New York. Jan. 23-Eight lives were lost in the wreck of the four-masted schooner Augustus Hunt off West Hampton. Long Island. today. Two others, who were on board. were saved. Through the dense fog the cries of the doomed crew appealed for help, and the life savers tried repeat edly to reach the wreck. but without suc- cess. The heavy seas flung back the life boat while the thick fog yelled the schooner from sight and prevented the use of any lines to reach the wreck.
 The schooner went ashore soon after midnight and during the early morning hours the cries of the crew attracted at tention. Soon after daylight, the wreck began to go to pieces fragments that reached shore giving the name of the ves- sel.
 Within a few hours the schooner had broken up completely. and of her crew of ten. only two survived. These were the second mate and one sailor who reached the shore on a piece of wreckage. The schooner was in command of Captain Conary and was bound from Norfolk to Boston with a cargo of coal.
 The vessel and its cargo were valued at S35 900.

 in the Islands.

With him were Mrs. Taft, their two children, Fred Car penter, his secretary, and John Wolfiey, Attorney General of the Philippines, who Is travelling with the governors party on his way home on leave of absence.
 The Governor was met by number of representative army and navy men and civil officials on the tug Golden Gate, to which the party was transferred after the Korea had reached quarantine station. The tug carried its passengers to the Oak land mole, where Governor Taft boarded the Eastern overland train for Washing ton. On arriving at the Capital he will at once assume his duties as Secretary of War. ,,.-
 MT. Taft talked at length to a repre- sentative of the Associated Press regard ing conditions in the Philippines and briefly on the Japanese-Russian contro- versy. No significance of political na- ture, he said, need be attached to the haste with which he Is travelling. Secre- tary Root had been retained one month longer than he had expected and was anxious to turn affairs oyer To be settled so he could take up the practice of law ius New York;. which he had arTapged to do on February l.. Beside he had re- ception dated for the goth inst, at which he. proposed to introdqfe MT. Taft and make nm at hothe othciaiiy in his new department. . tf
 In rAsard to the trouble between Japan and Russia, and the general situation that prevailed when he left the, Orient, ex-Goy- ernor, Taft said that affairs looked quite warlike.. He had hopes, however, that the crisis might yet be bridged over, and peace preserved The Mikado was a man of force and tact. Governor Taft said that the reception given himself and wife by the Mikado was flattering in the ex- trerne The Imperial Secretary of State lost no opportunity to express his warm sympathy for the United States and the friendly relations he hoped would ever prevail between the two nations.
 Governor Taft said that conditions in the Philippines were better than ever be- fore and he doubted if greater tranquil ity ever prevailed, even under Spanish administration.
 "We are looking forward" he said. "to a period of great activity in railroad building throughout the archipelago. Eng fish and Belgian capitalists have so far controlled the fled, but the people in the islands are anxious for the introduction of American capital which so far has not been forthcoming.
