The mystery of "how the other half
lives" means, in part, the question how
II gets its living. The most out-of-the-
way occupations are found In the larg-
est cities. Placards and signboards,
which are quoted In the New York
Mail and Express. show some of the
queer industries and trades carried on
in New York.
In East 34th street sign In the
window of a house informs the public
that Birds are boarded here by the
day. week or month" A little farther
downtown a sign In a basement win
dow announces. Dogs ears and tails
cut In the latest fashion" A sign in
the same locality reads, II educate
Cross cats and dogs to be gentle and
well-behaved."
Young ladies are invited to come in
and learn the name and calling Of their
future husbands" on West I'D street,
near 9Th avenue. "Round-shOuldered
people made straight" is announced
on East 10th street; and near 10Th
street on 4th avenue Perfect grace is
taught In II lessons" and "satisfac-
ton guaranteed" On the Bowery,
near Houston street, Ladies deficient
In wardrobe are fashionably dressed
on easy monthly instruments"
Sore eyes In poodles effectually

on East Broadway. In Catherine

for the use of professional beggars.
Of course. In Hester street BLACK
eyes are artfully painted over" and
"False noses as good as new and war
ranted to it," are advertised near
Chatham Square, conveying the i'm
preston that assault is not an uncom-
mon crime in some quarters.
On Chatham street the wayfarer Is
told. Dine here, and you will never
dine anywhere else,"-a somewhat
! ambiguous statement,-an on Null
berry street an undertaken makes a

BIBLE WRITTEN IN rs.
Muitip1es of This Figure Recnr Signifi-
cantly In New Testament.


The phenomena of the figure and
its multiples. occurring In the New
Testament, have been touched upon
by Ivan Panin, Russian student OF
has made his home at Grafton. Mass.
This Significance Of the seven" group
will not be lost even upon the super
stitious who are outside the pale Of
scriptural points. and. as Mr.. Panin
has shown them, their relations Of
their groupings to the first eleven
verses Of the New Testament must
suggest that they were scarcely
chance.
For instance. in these first eleven
verses Of Matthew, the vocabulary con-
sists Of forty nine words, or seven sew
ems; of these words there are twenty
eight, or four sevens. which begin with
vOwels. and twenty one, or three sew
ems. which begin with consonants.
This distribution by sevens be-
tween vowel words and cOnsonant
words justly might have been deemed
accidental but for the fact that Of the
forty nine words fortytwO Of them are
nouns-six sevens-and seven are not
nouns" is the comment Of the writer.
"Of the forty-two nouns there are
thirty five proper nouns, or five sevens,
while seven are common nouns. or
the thirty five proper names four sew
ems are male ancestors of Jesus and
seven are not such. Not only then Is
the distribution OF the forty-nine
words of the vocabulary by sevens AZ
between vowel words and cOnsonant
words. but also as between the parts
of speech"
AS further and absolute proof that
these phenomena Of the sevens are not
accidental Mr.. Panin points out that
the forty-nine words Of the vocabulary
show fourteen words that are not used
but once while thirty-five of them. or
FIVE sevens, are used more than once.
His conclusions after an exhaustive ar
rangement OF the "seven" features are
that mot even the choice Of the Ian
guages in which the scriptures were
written was made without marked nu-
merical design at the threshold OF the
subject"

Showing at Portland.
Tacoma, June 20.-Colonel Frank
J. Parker, who was for thirty years
editor and publisher of the Walla Wal
la Statesman, and who is now known
as retired capitalist of the Garden
City, is in Tacoma on campaign in
the interests of Washington represen-
tation at the Lewis and Clark exposi-
ton.
He now proposes that, instead of
having general Northwest building.
the state of Washington shall have a
building all its own at the fair, and
that the Washington exhibit shall
completely lay in the shade everything
that the mother state can produce
His purpose now in travelling over the
state is to get the different commercial
bodies to guarantee sufficient amount
for building to be erected in time to
receive the exhibit at tho st. Louis
fair as soon as the doors of that expo
sition are closed, the guaranty to be
made good by legislative appropria-
ton, in lieu of that vetoed by Govern
or Mcbride. He thinks there will be
no doubt of liberal appropriation,
but is Of the opinion that the time to
act is right now.

Said Japan Is willing to Accept Pow
err Well Disposed Toward Russia

Said Japan Is willing To Accept Pow
err Well Disposed Toward Russia
st. Petersburg, June 21.-An inter
view with Baron Suyematsu, published
in Paris and suggesting that Japan is
willing to accept the mediation Of a
power equally well disposed to Russia
and Japan. while regarded as tenta-
tive utterance, attracts much atten-
ton, coming from the Marquis Ito.
It is generally interpreted as mean
ing that Japan is shrinking before the
prospect of a long war. But officials
do not show the slightest disposition.
however, to relax their position, the
sentiment being that having been
forced into the war and driven to make
heavy sacricfies, to stop just now when
Russia is prepared to accomplish some
thing is quite impossible.
Diplomatic circles are keenly inter
ested, but the opinion is unanimously
expressed that it will be impossible for
Russia to consent to end the war with
her military prestige impaired. Be-
sides it is pointed out that Baron Suye-
matsu admits that Japan has not re-
duced her demands.
The French embassies are hardly
disposed to believe that Baron Suye-
matsu spoke by authority, and the
American embassy is disinclined to
discuss the matter and to suggest that
if mediator is wanted, the United
States fulflls the condition prescribed
by the baron.

DAY TO INVESTIGATE.
To Look Into Alaska Charges in
Place of Attorney Young.

Washington, June 20.-James 5.
Young. the United States district attor-
ney at Pittsburg, came over 10 Wash.
ington two or three days ago to exam
inc the papers on file in regard to the
Alaska judiciary scandals and to re,
ceive final instructions for the special
investigation which he wasr ecently
appointed to make, decided after look
ing the papers over, that the time re-
ouired for investigation would be
greater than he could spare.
Attorney General Knox accepted Dir.
Young's view of the matter and imme-
diately appointed Assistant to the At
torney General William A. Day to
make the Alaskan investigation.
Judge Day will leave here on June
26 for Seattle, and will sail from there
as soon as possible for Wrangel, Ketch-
kan, Juneau, Sitka and Skagway, IN
Southeastern Alaska, and thence to the
other points in the territory where tes-
timony is to be taken. He will be gone
at least three months.

Rent Radium by the Hour

When one reads OF the considerable
use that is being made incidentally OF
radiuln 1t seems hardly credible that
SO much can have been made Of 90
little. The amount procurable In Lon
don to-day is considerably less than a
grain. Consequently. as only limited
number of medical men can have an
opportunity of utilizing this weird
chemical, 1t is suggested that chem
lists should follow the example OF one
of Il cir number, who has obtained a
small tube containing five MILL
grammes of radium bromide, and hires
IL out or 1880 an hour This is surely
the strangest development of modern
pharmacy.

CENSURE ROOSEVELT.
Book binders Protest Against His
Open Shop Idea.

Book binders Protest Against His
Open Shop Idea.
st. Paul, June 2O.-The Interna.
tional Brotherhood of Book binders has
adopted resolutions censuring Presi.
dent Roosevelt for his action in the
Miller case, in connection with the
public printing Office in Washington.
The resolutions say:
Your committee feels that the In
ternational Brotherhood of Book bind
ers, now in convention, should take
this, the first opportunity, to add their
protest against the pronouncement of
President Roosevelt, declaring the open
shop to be in the public interest
"We submit that the open shop,
menacing as it is in the light of exper-
fence, weakening and ultimate de-
moralization of the reforming influ-
ence of organized labor, is not in the
interest of public welfare.
"We therefore submit that the sense
of this convention is that the declara-
ton of the open shop by President
Roosevelt was not in the interests of
the people of the UnitedS tates"
W. K. Tatum, of Chicago, was elect
ed president of the organization.

the Rhodes appointee to Oxford for the
state of Washington. OF the students
that took the qualifying examinations
for the scholarship, Mr.. Johanson and
Mr.. l.. r. Railsbaek passed. In choos-
ing the successful candidate. however,
little trouble was met, as Mr.. Rails
back is only freshman and sophomore
standing is necessary to secure seiec-
ton.

MONGOLS MAY REVOLT.
Apostles of the God Airol Stirring
I'm Natives.

Bijsk, Government Of Tomsk, Rus
sia, June 20.-The agitation among
the Mongols inhabiting the Altai re-
gion is increasing over the appearance
of the god Airol, who they believe will
deliver them from the foreign yoke
and create an independent kingdom
The Mongols are gathering in thou
sands in answer to the summons of the
men who are proclaiming themselves
the apostles of the god Airol. These
men are inspiring awe among the igno-
rant nomads by means of an alleged
miracle, carried out with the aid of
electrical and pyrotechnic devices.
These so-called apostles preach the
incarnation of the god Airol and pre-
tend to carry from him messages to the
people saying that he has not been
happy since he left them two hundred
years ago, coincident with the Russian
occupation of the country. They warn
the Mongols to abstain from wearing
white or red clothing, these being the
Russian national colors. and to wear
only blue and yellow, the national
colors of Japan; urge them to worship
the sun and moon, which are the gods
OF Japan, and especially the god Bur
han, who is the only true god of the
gods. They also warn the inhabitants
to discard all agricultural implements
and to keep their arms hidden in the
mountains and elsewhere.
Many rich men of the Kalmuck tribe
have taken up the propaganda, one OF
whom has sacrificed $4,000 and an
other $3.50 in honor of this god.
The seriousness of the situation lies
III the fact that the tribes in which
the revolt is fostered inhabit both sides
of the transsiberia railroad and num-
Der many thousands of potential fanat-
les, and that should any serious upris-
ing occur it might interfere materially
with railroad communication.

Dawson, Y. T., June 20-The North

Transportation and Trading companies
have announced that they will quit the

SLOCUM DISASTER
EQUIPMENT OF VESSEL SAID TO
HAVE BEEN POOR.
cheap Fire Hose. Which Burst
when Attempt Was Made to
Use It--.Total Of Bodies Recov-
cred From River and Wrecked
Roat Reaches 845.

New York, June 22.-Evidence of a
startling nature, which doubtless will
have an important bearing on the ulti-
mate result of the coroner's inquiry
into the General Slocum disaster, was
forthcoming at the inquest during the
day.
Perhaps the most unexpected Incl
dent was the continued refusal to an
aver questions of Henry Lundberg, a
United States steamboat inspector,
who was supposed to have inspected
che life preservers and the hull of the
Inflated steamer. His refusal was
based on the ground that an answer
might incriminate himself, and he act
I'd ON the advice of his counsel.
The coroner committed Lundberg to
the house of correction, but later &C.
cepted $500 bail for his appearance in
the morning.
Second Pilot Weaver. of the Slocum
testified that he had purchased fire
hose for the boat, and Mr.. Garvan in.
sroduced evidence to show that the
price paid was 40 cents a foot, less &c
Der cent, or 16 cents per foot net.
Don't you know that you can't buy
good fire hose for less than 81 or $3.50
a foot?'
II don't know anything about the
price Of hose" said Weaver.
Weaver also declared that there had
been no fire drill on the Slocum this
year.
Find 112 Bodies.
BY the use of dynamite and heavy
guns fired by men from the Second
battery, scores of bodies were brought
up from the bottom around the shores
of North Brother island during the
day. From sunrise to sunset 112 bod
les were brought in, bringing the total
recovered to date to the appalling total
of S45. OF these 700 have been iden-
titled and the missing are approximat-
ed at something more than 800. Many
of the bodies last found will never be
identified because of changes that have
taken place during the week they have
been under water.

IN FIGHTING TRIM
BOTH RUSSIAN FLEETS ARE NOW
READY FOR SEA.
Said i'm St. Petersburg That IL Jap
anese Navy Is Recommendations
of the Most Important Battles
of Ironclads in Naval History
Will Occur.

st. Petersburg, June 2o.-The au
thorities are decidedly elated over the
simultaneous receipt of dispatches
from Rear Admiral Wittsoeft, who
commands the Russian fleet at Port
Arthur, and from Vladivostok, indi.
eating that the fleets in both places
are in fighting trim. Somewhat nat
urally, the authorities decline to dis
close the means of transmission of Ad-
miral Wittsoeft's dispatch. but the
fact that the admiral report is brought
up to June IA indicates that it hardly
came by runner through the Japan
csc lines. The codnition of the squad
ron makes it apparent that the vessels
are ready to go to sea, and If they meet
the Japanese fleet the result will prob
ably be battle Of ironclads that will
take a place in history overshadowing
the meeting of the Chicese and Japan
ese fleets on the Yalu.
The Vladivostok message shows that
the commander there is looking for
ward to serious operations, probably in
the way of reprisals for the destruc-
ton wrought by the Russian cruiser
squadron. There is no indicati IN, how
ever, so far as can be learned, that the
japanese squadron has appeared in the
neighborhood.
The st. Petersburg authorities have
received no advices of an official ma
ture bearing on the reported mutila,
ton of the wounded at Vafangow, and
they are not disposed to discuss the
matter until it shall have been formal
ly called to their attention.
