WOES OF MAGAZINE ARTIST
Stories Must Be Illustrated Truthfully and Therein Lies Distress
 of Illustrator.

Now a thousand blessings on the head of the good story-reading public that likes to have it's stories illustratedl But that the stories are illustrated is not enough--they must be illustrated truth fully-and thereby hangs the tale of an artists woe, declares a writer In Pear sons If this tale that am now to un- fold should meet the eye of any of the story writers concerned, beg them to re- member that there is 8 button as big as palette at the end of my foil-and so no harm is intended.
 Iremember with amusement an author who used to be very indignant with me for never making pictures of ships, when ships figured so largely in his stories 1T don't believe you can draw ship, he wrote me one day--and, to tell the honest truth, he hitthe right nail on the head. I cannot draw asship to save my lifei The fact is, that an artist can make more mistakes in drawing ship than in drawing almost anything else and, of course, If one is ignorant, 1t does not do to display that ignorance be- fore critical public. And this ac- counts for the reason why you will hardly ever find more than the nnerest indication of ship in any sketch of mine!

MILLIONS ARE UNCLAIMED.
Great Fund Lies Dormant in England I Awaiting Missing Owners
 Negligence the Cause.

The funds in official custody in Eng land awaiting claimants amount to an enormous sum. During the recent par liamentary session questions were asked as to these unclaimed deposits and several returns on the subject have been made The total balances in the hands of the paymaster general were S273, SIP, ,305 on February 28, 1903. In the chancery division Q large portion of this great fund is dormant, but as a fund is not considered as unclaimed until it has not been adjudicated by the court for 15 years, the proportion due to missing owners cannot be estimated but is an enormous amount. Many per- sons are negligent in collecting govern
 ment securities and dividends, or have died without leaving heirs who have demanded the funds. The balance of government stock and dividends un- claimed for ten years In the hands of the national debt commissioners on March 31, 1904, was $13,s12,006. The government has taken over $5,000, ,000 of this fund for current expenses. Sim liar appropriations of these unclaimed funds were made by the government in 1791 and 1908, and in 1863 Gladstone cancelled not less than 15,000,000 of the unclaimed stock. A large estate, $720,- 900, that of Mrs. Helen Blake, reverted to the crown in 1888 in default oi claimants who were able to prove theil right to the estate.

INDIAN HENS EGG FOR s1oo
Output of Famous Game Chicken Brings Big Sum When Taken
 to England.

Not often does the price of single egg climb to $100, but this is what was offered for each of the eggs of a certain Indian game hen, which was taken to England some time ago. For centuries the Indian game, or Azeel fowls. have been the very apex of the game breed, for the purposes of blood and pedigree have been most carefully preserved for so long that the date of the origin of the race has been lost in the past. It is almost impossible to procure specimens of the purest blood, for they are treasured by the Indian sportsmen at the highest value, and the best fowls are not allowed to go out of their native country As game fowl they are great fighters. Those who have seen them in India for the finest birds never reach colder climates-tell of their prowess and ungovernable tenacity in battle. With them 1t is always victory or death. Tn America, however, the game fowls are seldom raised for fighting purposes, but for show, and as pets and hobbies of poultry fanciers.

SOLDIER A BAD HUSBAND
More Military Men Than Those of !, Any Other Glass Are Divorced.

Divorces in the United States are on the increase, according to figures pub 1ished by the census bureau The latest show that five out of every 1000 men married are living in state of divorce. The census returns disprove the theory that early marriage leads oftenest to divorce. A note of warning is also sounded to women who persist in mar. rying men of the rowing class, who enter on matrimony late in life, and for the guidance of those who ought to know 1t is figured out in cold and passionless statistics of just what classes of em- ployment men are most frequently seer in the divorce courts. Census figures on divorce reveal the relative fickleness oi men according to their following in life This table, based on the number of those divorced out of every 1000 married showed some interesting comparisons.

CHILD LABOR INCREASING.
Recently Published Census Statistics Show That One In Five Is
 Breadwinner.

Census statistics just published show that despite the opposition from vari- ous sources child labor in the United States is increasing. According to these figures every fifth child in the country between the ages of ten and 15 years is a breadwinner. Of these juvenile wage earners every third child is girl. There are 1,750,17S children regularly em- ployed. This is an increase of B Ia per cent in ten years. Alabama has the highest percentage of child labor, ind- ing work for 27.2 per cent. of her chil- dren, while Massachusetts has the low- est, having only five per cent. of her juvenile population at work. Of all the children empolyed 26.1 per cent. are boys and 10.2 per cent. are girls. In all of the southern states the percentage of children employed is high. It is also high in the western states and remark ably low in the east The number of children employed in 1880 was ], ,11S, 1856, or 16.S per cent. of the entire child pop ulation, but in 1900 the percentage was 1892

Pay for Transport Positions.

It has been found by the officers of the army transport service that the practice of making men pay for positions on the transports has been in vogue at San Fran cisco for long time. An investigation is being made and the shipping commis- sioners will prosecute the guilty parties. Some men have paid as high as $1o0 for a place.

AFFAIRS or THE BAPTIST
PUBLICATION SOCIETY
Report of the Investigating Com
mittee Submitted at Anniver-
sary Meeting.

CLEVELAND, O., May 2O.-At the Bap-
fist anniversaries the work of the Amer
lean Baptist Publication Society was pre-
scented to-day in its Bible, missionary and
general publishing phases by the Rev. A. G..
Lawson, d. D., of Newark; the Rev. ]. G.
Partridge, d. D., of Pittsburg, and the Rev.
G. d. Case, of Brooklyn.
The interest centered in the report of an
investigating committee appointed at Buff
falo at the last annual meeting to inquire
into the conditions of the society and it's
field. The report says the committee be-
lieves the affairs of the society are con-
Quoted with absolute integrity and most
carefully. Its business conditions since it's
Philadelphia building was burned, in 1896,
show no profit in its publishing and selling
of books and other publications. In recent
years there has been an average loss of
5000 to $1,000 year. From 1897 to 1903 this
amounted TO about $4,000, due to sharp
competition and small margin of profit,
bearing entire expense of missionary de-
partment for rent, salaries, ETC., to about
$4,000 year, interest on loans necessary
TO furnish working capital and loss in main
tanning stores. AS a remedy there must
be a more loyal support of the society by
the denomination, it was declared, and
patronage of its Sunday-school publica-
tons. The committee suggested no change
in methods, but hoped a working capital
might be provided.

Condition of Roads and Weather
Not to Be Considered-Mile-
age to Be Basis.
SERVICE TO BE EXTENDED

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, May pa new scale Of
salaries for rural carriers. 10 take effect
July l, is now being prepared under the
direction of the postmaster general. The
maximum is fixed by law at 500 a year.
This figure will be paid carriers serving
on routes of twenty miles or more in
length. The officials are finding it difficult
to hit upon a scheme affecting carriers
on routes less than twenty miles in length.
Various plans have been suggested. but
nothing definite has yet been decided upon.
The only element that will be considered
in all probability is mileage. 1t has been
found impracticable to take into considera-
ton the condition of the roads and the
weather in various sections Of the coun-
try. The indications are that on routes
of sixteen miles and less than twenty $500
will be paid the carriers; routes twelve
miles and less than sixteen. s42o, and on
routes less than twelve miles $500 will
be the salary paid
Arrangements also are being perfected for
the extension Of rural free delivery during
the coming fiscal year. On July q there
Will be available for the maintenance and
additional routes about $4,000, 600. About
100000 of this large appropriation will be
taken up by the Increased salaries pro-
vided by Congress. In accordance with a
provision in the postal appropriation BILL
the number of rural free delivery divisions
must be reduced from eight TO six. This
will necessitale the retirement OF two Of
the inspectors in charge of divisions or
their reduction in rank and salary. There
is a possibility that two Wisconsin men
may be affected by this change in the
service. One of them is Jud Walker of
Boscobel. stationed az Chicago, and the
other former State Senator w. f. Conger
in charge of the headquarters at Nashville
There is possibility that Sam r. Rath-
bone, formerly stationed at Indianapolis
now in charge of tie headquarters at Oma-
ha, may be affected by this change in the
service.
In addition TO the designation of six d.
vision inspectors. the postmaster general
rural free delivery machinery by appoint
agents New regulations governing the
service will be promulgated on July /. One
of its principal provisions will be in rela-
ton to the agency privileges now enjoyed
by carriers. Under the law carriers are
prohibited from acting agents solicit
ors- They are permitted, however, TO do
errands for the patrons on the routes.
Ernest A Meredith was to-day appointed
postmaster at Tanner, Greene county, vice
William NJ. Ceilings, dead.
c. E. Edwards has been appointed regu-
lar carrier and Jacob Cox substitute in the
rural free delivery service at Hartford City.

BITTER WORDS OFjM|NERS
FOR GOVERNOR PEABODY
Western Federation Issues a Rad
ical Statement Prior to Its
Convention.

DENVER, May 20-A statement has been
issued by the executive board of the West
ern Federation of Miners relative TO their
views on the strike situation in Colorado
and the Imprisonment in a military bull
pen" of Charles FL. Meyer, president of the
federation. The issues involved will be pre-
sented TO the convention of the federation,
to be held at Denver next week. In con-
nection with its reference to the 'infamy
and barbarism of military rele in Colorado"
the statement says:
For sixty days the president of our or
ganzation has languished in the confines
of bull pen held under the plea of mill
tary necessity When did it become law
full for a corporation mortgaged Governor
to clothe himself in the cloak of military
necessity and with the dictum of an un-
restrained and licensed .rigand kidnap
and imprison an Americau citizen who is
guiltless of crime, but whose sturdy and
unfiinching manhood refuses to give quarter
to the implacable foes, who have decreed
that the Western Federation of Miners shall
be exterminated from the boundaries of
Colorado2
''If the life of Charles. Meyer shall be
sacrificed TO appease the wrath OF corpor-
ate and commercial hate. then there will
be forced upon the peaceful. law-abiding
and liberty-loving membership of our or
ganization the ancient words in the old
Mosaic law An eye for an eye, and a

BARRETT GOES ON STAND
AGAIN IN OWN BEHALF
TestiheS as to the Nature of His
Business After Leaving Post
office Department.

WASHINGTON. May 20.-At the opening
of the Tyner-Barrett conspiracy case to-
day A. S. Worthington. counsel for the de-
Tense, called to the stand w. II. West. A.
L. Rudolph and Irwin Lincoln, prominent
Washington business men, who testified as
TO their long acquaintance with Mr.. Bar
rett and as TO his excellent reputation.
Mr.. Barrett then took the stand and re-
sumed testimony on direct examination.
Mr.. Worthington drew from Mr. Barrett
testimony TO the nature of his business
before the Postoffice Department, and il
was developed that more than half of this
was obtained from practice which had not
been before General Tyner or the office of
the assistant attorney general. Mr.. Bar
rett testified at great length in regard to
his employment by various companies, ex-
planning the terms Of contract ard other
matters connected with his service with
the companies and practice before the de-
partment.
Major Conrad then took Mr.. Barrett for
cross-examination. The prosecution ascer-
tanned that Mr.. Barrett had no trial ex-
perience when he formed a partnership
with MIR. Nelms.
