A PERFUME THAT SMELLS.

The Awful OdOr That Comes From
Pure Altar of Roses.
The perfumer took from his desk
small flask of copper.
''In TASKS like this altar Of roses
comes to u.s." he said. altar of roses
Is worth from $40 to SIS an ounce, ac-
cording to the market. This flask Is
empty now, but In 1t little odor still

The visitor smiled delightedly. He
had never smelt pure altar Of roses be-
fore. Now he unscrewed the stopper
and, closing his eyes, with an ecstatic
look he applied his nostrils to the flask
But only for an instant Then he
threw back his head, twisting his
features into a grimace Of disgust, and
he exclaimed:
Garbage! Bone yards! Glue fac
torfesp'
The perfumer laughed.
"All essential oils smell like that" he
said. "Yet no good perfume can be
made without them"
He took from shelf cut glass jar
filed with thick, yellowish oil that
looked like petroleum partly refined.
I'm this jar" he said, there are forty
ounces Of pure altar Of roses worth
over $500. You know how the altar
smells alone Now watch me make a
rich perfume by adding things to it."
He pnt few drops of the altar into
vial. He filed the vial with spirits
of musk, another of orris, then one Of
neroli, one of rose, of violet, Of orange,
of vanilla, and, finally, the oil of cloves
and bergamot.

"Well, without its foundation of the
malodorous and costly altar of roses 1t
wouldn't smell any better than plate
of soup."-New York Herald.

ner that made him so generally

states that Mrs. Newsom and the
children are well and like himself
are happy in their foreign home.

READY TO GRAB NORWAY
Danger in the Dissolution of the Scan
danavian Union

LONDON, April 24.-Sven Hedin
the Swedish explorer, in long letter
to the TIMES on the controversy be-
tween Sweden and Norway, contends
that in the event of the dissolution of
the union, Sweden could not afford to
be Indifferent to Norways fate. Rus
sia probably would seize the strip OF
Norwegian territory extending from
Lngen ford on the west to Jakobs
river on the east for the sake of the
warm water ports Norway has had on
this deeply indented coast.
The powers, Mr.. Hedin says, would
then want concessions at other point
on the Norwegian coast. Mr.. Hedin
argues that the extinction of Russia's
hopes in the Pacific ocean makes such
danger very real.
It is plainly for the interests of Swe-
den and Norway, he says, and in the
interest of all powers desiring to pre-
serve the palance of sea power, that
the consular dispute should be settled
on absolutely equal terms.

HEAD OF THE FIRST NATIONAL
OF MILWAUKEE WENT
WRONG.
His SpecuIations Were Very Heav,
and Threatened the Safety of the
Institution.

MILWAUKEE, April 24.-Frank G.
Bigelow, president of the First Ma
tionaI bank of Milwaukee, one of the
biggest financial institutions in the
west. and ex-president of the National
Bankers association, was removed
this morning by the directors as pres
ident. The directors took immediate
steps to protect depositors by signing
a personal guarantee of $1,600,O0O.
This with the surplus of undivided
profits which the bank carries over
and above the capital of $1,120,000,
makes the position of the bank secure,
it is said.
Speculations, it is reported, Bigelow
told the directors this morning, caused
the trouble. Attorney Charles Quarles
announced to the directors that the
whole affair was discovered Saturday
night. William Bigelow, brother OF
the president, is vice president and
one of the signers of the guarantee.

SAW STRIKING TRANSFERS
BEN HOLT RETURNS FROM FLY.
ING TRIP TO CHICAGO AND
CLEVELAND.
PIatoons Of Police Required to Pre-
serve Order-Department Stores
Make Counter Move.

Ben c. Holt, manager of the Walla
Walla branch Of the Holt Manufac-
turing company returned this morning
from a flying business trip to Chicago
and Cleveland Chicago is at present
the scene of much rioting and disorder
as result of the teamsters' union be-
ing on a strike," Mr.. Holt said this
morning. THE trouble originally
started between several of the big de-
partment stores and their teamsters
but it has gradually branched out un-
til several other Industrial concerns
are involved.
Whole platoons of police are posted
around the Montgomery Ward COM
pany's stores to curtail rioting among
the teamsters who attempt to prevent
the moving of goods and freight from
the company's store to the depots.
Every wagon going out is guarded. by
a bunch of policemen. Several of
these big stores will soon be rid of
the union, however, as they have
started to construct subways from
their places of business to the various
depots. These subways are in fact
huge tunnels built under the streets
and large enough to accommodate
electric freight cars which will be
used to conduct freight to and from
the depots. The work has cost mint
of money but the firms believe it is
good investment as it will do away
with the employment of thousands of
teamsters and consequent strike and
loss of business. The Montgomery
Ward subway will be in operation
soon after the first of May"
Mr.. Holt said he was impressed with
the marked popularity of President
Roosevelt in the middle west. The
democrats of Chicago are arranging
to give him a big banquet upon his
arrival in the Windy City next week.
There will undoubtedly be strong
pressure brought to bear on the pres
ident to secure his consent to become
a candidate again in 1908. In a po-
liticaI way about the only thing one
hears in the east is the progressive
ness of Roosevelt and the prosperity
of the country under his administra-
tion."

measure repeating the Flagler divorce
law has been passed by the Florida
senate. 1t probably will pass the
house, and it's endorsement by Cover
nor Broward is certain, as it was an
issue in his campaign.
The law which made insanity a
ground for divorce, was passed by the
Florida legislature in 1901 for the sole
benefit of Henry M. Flagler who de-
sired to free himself from his wife and
marry Miss Mary Lily Kenan of Will
mington, Del. 1t was put through
without publicity or discussion, the
F1agler decree was granted, and ten
days later the other marriage was cell
ebrated.
Senator Bailey declared that Flagler
spent over 100000 to secure it's pas

NO DRASTIC LEGISLATION
Railroad Rate Regulation Bill to Be or
Moderate Lines.

CHICAGO, April 24.-Walter Well
man in a Washington special to the
Record Herald says:
After the secret session of the SEN
ate committee on interstate commerce,
the opinion was expressed by MEM
bers tnat by the time congress meets
in the fall a bill of some sort would
be ready to be reported by the COM
mittee. but that it would not be dras-
tic bill and would probably be disap-
pointing to the western people, who
have wanted congress to enact real
and effective measure of railway re-
form.
Members of the committee and out
sasers who have been carefully follow
ing the course of the agitation do not
hesitate to say that the demand for
more radical action has to large ex-
tent abated and that the present out
look is for exceedingly moderate legis-
lation, if any,
No one cares to predict what form
this legislation will take, but there is
a strong feeling that it will no go near
ly SO far as the bill which passed the
house last winter by well nigh unan-
imous vote.
1t is expected some of the railroad
men will be present and present their
arguments against the proposed leg
islation.
The plan of the committee is to hear
H the railway side of the case first and
H afterwards those for more drastic ac-
4 ton. Although members of the COM
! mittee have little idea of how long
! their hearings are to continue, the
general expectation is that they VIII
run on five or six weeks.
During May a large number OF rail-
way men are to be in Washington from
| all over the world to attend the inter-
snational railway congress, and it is de-
sired to secure the testimony of
Il number of foreign railroad men of
distinction as to the methods pursued
! in their countries and on other lines.

CAUGHT REDHANDED AT
w. e. c. r. DEPOT.
Son of Respectable Parents-Escaped
Prosecution by Promising to
Leave the City.

A "Peeping Tom was caught red
handed in the ladies' toilet at the w.
& c. r. depot yesterday by Officer
Sanderson, but owing to his family
connections the young fellow escaped
prosecution by promising that he
would leave Walla Waila this after
noon. The young man, who is 16
years of age, is the son of respectable
parents residing in Oak street.
During the past two weeks COM
plants have been made to the w. &
c. r. officials that man was con-
Quoting himself indiscreetly near the
Main street depot, but despite the
fact that keen watch was kept for
the fellow the officers were unable to
lay hands on him. Similar complaints
were filed again Saturday and yester-
day Officer Sanderson secreted nim-
self in the vicinity and kept a close
watch. His vigilance was rewarded
along in the afternoon. The young
man was observed sneaking into a
room next to the toilet and few
minutes afterward he was placed un-
der arrest and taken to the city Jail.
The young man owned up to the
"Peeping Tom charge and wept pro-
fusely during the interview with Chief
Brown. His parents intercedei and
promised to send him from the city If
the charges were not pressed and as
this was satisfactory to General Man.
ager McCabe the boy was released this
morning. He promised to leave on
