McClure's for October is timely in the best sense. It reads vigorously and in- telligently some of the important les sons of the hour In the dramatic sto- rys of Governor LaFoliette and the fierce political war which is rending the state of Wisconsin, Lincoln staffens has found material, not only for a stirring story, but for the presentation of facts and principles of the gravest signifi- canoe. The climax of Ida NJ. TarbeH's s monumental History of the Standard "On Company" is reached in a chapter of Conclusions John La Farge dis cusses five great works of Rubens in this selection of tOne Hundred Master pieces of Painting" under classification of "Triumphs." There are several sto- ries in the fiction of the number which will make a distinct impression and merit comment "A Good Samaritan" lis by Mary R, shipman Andrews and Glass Eyed Bill" by Lloyd Osbourne. The "F'iremen'a Tournament" is de- scribed by Eugene Wood, and Leroy Scott tells a fascinating story of "The Prison Days of Billy MacCheeck."

Stories of Inventors The adven- lures of inventors and engineers. True incidents and personal experiences. By Russell Doubleday. Illustrated. 12mo, Pp. 220. New York: Doubleday. Page & Co. Price SIPS. For sale by the Pease- Lewis Co. This is a book of fascina- ting interest and instructor as well. It brings together the experiences of vari- ous inventors in their more adventurous and spectacular phases, and still the book is not confined wholly to the sub iject of inventors. Beginning with the successes of Marconi and Santos Du- mont, it reviews air-ships, speed ma chimes the telephones and ice-making. The author tells you in crisp and graph ic style how fast train is run, how au- tomobiles work--Whether by steam, gasoline or electricity: about very fast steamboats- the Arrow and certain turbine propelled torpedo boats in the British navy; about life savers and | their apparatus, about the making and Iusing of moving pictures, about bridge building, about submarine boats, about Ilong-distance telephony, about type setting machines, about the manufae- ture of ice. There is much of personal narrative also about the inventors, their lstruggles and achievements, which makes very interesting reading also. MT. Doubleday is well known as the au- thor of that brilliantly descriptive book, "A Gunner Aboard the Yankee, which gave pictures of sea service during the late war with Spain. His Year in a Yawl" is a favorite book with youngs- ters, with it's pictures of seafaring life and lake and river cruising. The auto mobile chapter is one of the most inter esting for many people The chapter describes the three systems employed, steam, gasoline and electricity The widest room for the inventor seems to lie with the latter system. When the perfect storake battery is devised, it is probable that electricity will largely su- persede the other systems, The house building chapter deals with the wonder full achievements in this field of enter prise in far off Africa, Asia and the An- Ides, and the wonderful effects the mar vellous structures produced upon the untutored aborigines of those wild and in some cases half unexplored regions.
 The way MT Holland runs his sub marine torpedo boats and how MT, Lake travels on the bottom of the sea in his submarine wreeking ship will also be found specially attractive. The work is well illustrated.

 The Literary World for September has an excellent article on Clarissa Har- lowe. written from the point of view of a real lover of the book, and therefore interesting of necessity to others in like case. This is the work of M. T.. Wal lace. The Little Pilgrim of the mum Der deals with F. Hopkinson Smith and cites some of his sayings that are worth remembering; for instance. what he says about literary morals, although this is not the expression used. Ethel M. Russell contributes . poem. sThe New Life" and Mir. Bliss Carman con- tributes suggestive discussion of what he calls The Wandering Word" the word which is meaning and yet is un7 fathomable. Certainly this is not enough to give the idea to one who has not read the article but it may be hint to read 1t. The. Editors club deals with the reunion of war veterans at Boston, and at the end there is a plump declaration that they all look alike as far as d certain expression of face and mody goes and are surely Americans, "as distinctly American as the China : man is Chinese" There is the usual excellent collection of short reviews

NEW YORK, June l3.-The grand jury
this morning found an indictment for
murder in the first degree against Mrs.
Nan Patterson, who was present at the
time of the shooting of BoolmaEer Caesar
Young in a hanson cab one week ago
Saturday.
The coroner's inquest into the cause of
the death of Caesar Young was continued
this morning. After hearing the testimony
of DR.. Edwin n. higgins of Hudson Street
hospital who attended Young, and DIR,
Phillips O'Ranlon, the coroner's jury
brought in a verdict simply stating that
Young had died as result of a pistol
wound.
Mrs. Patterson, who was in the coroner's
court when the inquest began, was re-
moved when the coroner was notified of
the finding of the Indictment against her
by the grand jury.
Youngs widow was also present at the
inquest.
Mrs. Patterson, nee Nan Randolph, the
"Florodora" beauty, who has been held in
Jail here without bail since the shooting,
was informed of the iury's verdict by
her counsel. She wept as all hope for i'm

PRETTY FLORODORA GIRL MUST
ANSWER To CHARGE Of MURDER

AS to Young's having motive for suicide,
Nan says he had been melancholy anG
was very despondent while in the cab.
AS to her having motive TO kill him, the
Patterson woman is not of the kind whose
affections are 50 extreme that she would
have killed Young rather than part with
him.
Against Mans" story of Young's sui
eide are many facts. The bullet entered
just above the heart and lodged in the
spinal column. Young was not left handed
and to have shot himself with his right
hand he must have held the revolver IN
such a position that it would have been
next to impossible to have pulled the
trigger
1t is believed that he was sitting close
to the woman, and that would have made
it very difficult for him to have used his
left hand. Had he fired from his pocket
the bullet must have taken an entirely
different course.
Young never was known to have carried
revolver. No apparent motive exists
for suicide. He had arranged to sail, had
bought a straw hat shortly before the

JAPS lead RUSSIANS

NEWCHWANG, june l3.--It Is report
ed here that the Russians have suffered
severe defeat as the result Of an ambush
at Punblientien, to the rear of Port Ar
thur
The Japanese attacked the Russians, and
then drew the latter on by fegned re-
treat. In this way the Russians were
trapped and are said to have lost 800 men
killed and wounded.
The Russians then fell back on Kaichow

these forces that, on Saturday, at Moleng
pass, encountered the Russians, who were
forced to withdraw, leaving an officer
and six soldiers dead. The japanese lost

cent appearing franchise has assumed n
new aspect Public sentiment Is forping
strongly against the granting OF the frapA
chise in its present form.
II was thought that the committee on
privileges, franchises apa dorpcratIopR
would have met today or Tomorrow to aob
on the franchise, so that II could have been
brought before the council Wednesday
night. As Chairman Lamborn is confined
to the house with serious attack d
throat trouble, it is not likely that the
committee will be able to get together
before the council meeting.
Councilman Lamborn states that he was
incorrectly quoted in the published pro-
ceediags Of the last council meetinga
Il did not tell the reporters that the
franchise was renewal Of the present

say was that the new franchise was prac.
tically the same as the old one, meaning
the power franchise that was vetoed last
year.

Bob Taylor, the murderer Of w. w.
Barnes. was sentenced by Judge Smell this
morning to life imprisonment at hard labor
in the penitentiary at Walla Walla.
When asked if the prisoner or his at
torneys had anything to say why sem
tence should not be passed, Taylor replied:
81 don't think l ought to be sentenced
for murder in the second degree. ought
to have straight acquittal. ! didn't
kill the man, nohow. He wasn't dead
when left for Puyallup. Barnes came up
here to kill me. He tried to kill me IN
Oregon. ! ought to be let go"
After listening to all that he had TO
say, Judge Smell said that the sentence
would be life imprisonment. Taylor took
the sentence in the same disinterested
manner that he has exhibited ever since
his capture.
IN passing sentence, Judge Smell com

use of the Masonic order west of Kansas
City.
The Washington grand lodge officers
were in attendance. At l o'clock they as
sembled in the Mason block, on A street,
from where they were escorted to the
new temple by the local Masonic orders.
The dedicatory service was conducted
according to the Masonic ritual and was
very elaborate. An excellent literary and
musical program was also given.
After the ceremony was concluded a
reception was given and the guests were
afforded an opportunity to see the mag
nifcent new temple.
At 8 O'Clock tonight a reception will
be rendered the grand lodge officers, at
which Governor Mcbride and his staff are
expected to be present. After the recep-
tion grand ball will conclude the fes-

mediate freedom was thus dashed away, as
she had fully expected favorable action
by the grand jury.
Since the sensational shooting of Caesar
Young on Broadway ten days ago and the
arrest of Mrs Patterson which followed,
the case has been the absorbing topic OF
conversation in every city where the prin-
cipals in the tragedy are known.
There are elements of mystery in the
case that promise to make it one of the
most singularly puzzling in the police an
nails of New York city, and the attorneys
on both sides are preparing for hard legal
| fight.
Nam Patterson. the "Florodora" girl,
| was in the cab with Young when the
bullet was fired which killed him. She
was with him not at her own desire, but
at his request that he might see her again
before he sailed for Europe with his wife.
"Nan" knew that he was about to sever
relations with her. Had she contemplated
murder. is it likely that she would have
waited for him to summon her? She was
asleep when the message arrived, and
probably, if she had not been thus dis
turbed, would still have been asleep after
Young had started oceanwards.
If she didn't form resolution to kit
Young before starting to meet him she
would not likely have carried a revolver
She declares she did not have revolver
and, so far as diligent inquiry has gone, nc
one has been found who knows of any
time when Nan did possess a revolver.
There was no deliberation in "Nan's'
movements after she received Young
message She dressed hurriedly ant
hastened to the place of meeting,
The revolver was found in Young
pocket 1t is claimed that someone witt
him must have placed it there. That does
not follow. Young did not die instantly
but bled to death He could have placed
the revolver in the pocket himself

of the excellent deleusc made by Taylor

Taylor will probably be taken to Wala

Murder in the second degree was the
verdict brought in Saturday night at 10
O'Clock in the case Of the state against

and during most OF the time six Of them

Judge Smell and Colonel j. j. Anderson,
