Author of "Frenzied Finance Tells Pub
lie Where He is At.
A New York dispatch of a few days
ago says: Suit has been brought by
Paul Fuller of this city against
Thomas W. Lawson of Boston for
S350,000. 1t was reported that Mr..
Lawson's recent writings had caused
the bringing of the suit.
Thomas w. Lawson in a statement
made at Boston says:
"In regard to the suits and rumors
of suits, civil and criminal, brought
and to be brought against me by
standard OIL, the insurance COM
panies, and individuals, because of
my story, 'Frennzied Finance, can
simply say:
"Bring them along one and all and
[ will be found on hand prepared to
give battle to finish, giving no mercy
and asking for none.
Il have been telling few raw truths
and in this age of dollars no man will
be allowed to distribute truths about
financial rascality without paying
the price. =
my truths are big ones and I
suppose the price will be equally big,
but the American people may rest easy
that whatever the price I'll pay it and
not ask any sympathy for doing So,
and they can rest easy about another
fact: I'll make those who have been
plundering the people during the past
ten years pay price to which mine
will appear like tight shoe compared
with the inQuisitorial racks of the
dark ages.
''Let the American people make no
mistake: II 'clock is being struck at
the while-you-wait factory where
multi-millionaires have been turned
out from the raw material, and unless
[ miss my guess, it will take more
court trials than there are in America
to drown the ominous sound of that
high noon bell.''

A PERSIAN TRAGEDY.
Sublime Courage by Which Princess
SalOme Escaped Her Master

Sublime Courage by Which Princess
SnlOme Escaped Her Master.
James Baker, a we'll known traveller
and writer, tells a curious story OF a
war 100 years ago. The Persian shah
was besieging Tihis. and the husband
Of the Princess Salome had been slain
in the SIEGE When the Persians en-
tered and sacked the town Salome
tried to save her young son, but he was
torn from her arms and hacked in
pieces before her eyes. Her own life
was spared and she was borne to the
camp outside the walls of Tifis to the
shah. He sold her to Djafar Bek, who
shut her up in castle-a part of which
still remains-near where now is the
lovely tropical botanical garden Of
Tifis. Charmed by her beauty, he ask
ed her to become his wife. She re-
fused and begged her purchaser to
slay her. The Persian gave her night
to reconsider the matter and. on the
next day he lay reclining on a. great
cushion under a tree on that hot, sun
ny hillside and awaited her answer.
Presently she appeared before him,
yelled in long, pure white robe, calm
and stately, her face deathly pale. She
advanced, her armed jailers following
her. The Persian waved his followers
aside and asked the princess, ''You con-
sent to be my wife," EYES," was the
solemn answer. II consent to love
you, for after the death of my husband
and son it is my destiny; there is no
other fate for me-
I'm Georgia." said the princess,
"there are certain families that possess
strange powers and dark secrets. My
mother fOretOld should be the wife Of
a Djafar, and from my mother I, too,
receive these powers to read the fu-
ture." The Persian was impressed by
her manner and her presence She saw
her power. 'Give me your hand" she
said. LET me read there if I shall
have long years of happiness with
you" He held forth his hand. She
held it until it slightly trembled in her
fingers. Then she burst forth with a
cry Of horror, "Oh, my master, know
est thou that death awaits thee, per-
chance this very night?" Dpjafar Bek
trembled now. 'Thou wilt die by the
hand Of man thou hast this day Of

what! You can do this?' exclaimed
Djafar incredulously. ''Most certainly.
Give me your dagger" He drew it and
handed it to her. She held it up and,
looking up to the blue heavens above,
murmured a prayer; then, handing it
back to him said: snow it is useless

A Wasted Apple Crop.

A gentleman who has recently spent
several weeks in the rural districts
of New York confirms in a letter to
the Pioneer Press all that has been
printed as to the abundance of the ap-
pie crop in that State. Apples of the
choicest varieties, Greetings, Seek
no-furthers, Baldwins, Russets, Pip
pins, etc., have been produced in al
most unprecedented quantities. Yet
from a gross mismanagement of the
country's resources in labor and
transportation, the greater part of the
crop has gone to waste. In the first
place: it seems that-between cooper
age trusts and coopers' unions, the
former controlling the market and the
latter limiting output and refusing to
allow non-union men to work-the
supply of barrels was totally made
quate. Then, as if this were not
enough. the shippers and the rail-
roads seem to have combined to de-
press prices and keep up transporta-
ton rates; with the result that only
fifteen cents a bushel could be had
for prime winter apples and eight
cents for good fall stock. Local can
neries have been able to use but a
small part of the crop. So the hogs
and cattle have absorbed most of the
fruit-where it has not been absolutely
thrown away-which might with better
management have afforded delight
full addition to thousands of tables on
which it is only occasionally seen.
What a margin there has been is
shown by the fact that St. Paul people
are to-day paying $40 per barrel for
just such fruit as is now rotting on
the ground in New York. Similar
conditions have prevailed in New
England.-Pioneer Press.

AS TO THE PURE FOOD LAW

state had no jurisdiction, and that suits
growing out OF the adulteration should
