FACTS AT HAND.
BOWLING REPORT DIsCLosEs
SOME GROSS MISTAKES.
Committee Claiming to Adjudicate
Questions Involved in Examination
of Auditors Office Disregards Facts
In It's Possession and Makes Some
Ridiculous Errors.

Examination of the majority report
of the~public accounts committee on the
auditors office shows it a weak at
tempt to square, that department.,
and full of glaring mistakes, which are
so numerous as to destroy whatever
value it was designed to have as Il
vindicator.' ~. II, =.
In its comment on the Buchanan
trespass case, for instance, the Bowling
nation in the hands Of the committee,
some of which was interesting "new
stuff ,-...". ~...
The public examiner found from the
records that the Buchanan trespass was
estimated at $5,351.03, and settle
ment for actual value was credited to
the state timber board, which had no
authority whatever in the matter. A
later settlement for even $4,000 is
was paid. r. G. Dunn claimed that this
settlement was not final, but it is so
entered, and the suit brought by the
attorney general is not for any balance
due under this agreement, but for treble
the actual value of the timber, about
1914 1000. In the face of these facts
the Bowling report finds as follows:
After conference, with the timber
board, it was agreed to accept $5,351.03 in
settlement. On Jan. H. 1902, $4,000 was
paid on account, and on July Z, 1902, an
other payment Of $4,000 is recorded as
part pawn ent (See auditors report. 1902,
poges rs and 2s.) The remainder, $1.351. O3,
has not been paid and draft is in the at
torney generals hands and suit has been
instituted in accordance. 1t appears from
! copies of letters on file sent by State Au-
dtor Dunn to Mr.. Buchanan that many
| vigorous efforts were made by Mr.. Dunn
| to collect the balance due the state.
The records show plainly that after
collecting the $4,000 Mr.. Dunn consid-
cred the claim settled, and they include
two letters written before the $4,000
had been paid, which showed the kind
of efforts being made. The first letter,
which was in the hands Of the commit
tee, was dated June 81, 1901, and read

SPARTAN VIRTUE.

u ID Fine Thing II 1t Ii Not Adj
vertised Too Much.
A Spartan virtue seems to have the
Inherent quality Of making its possess
or a A caliber bore of the worst sort
Take the man whose supreme IL not
only virtue lies in the fact that he
takes cold water bath every morning
the whole year round. You meet him
in the car, in the street, In the course
Of business anywhere, and no matter
what the topic may be at the start the
count-quite incidental, Of course-Of
how on the frostiest of mornings he
frolics in the ice cold water just as 1t
comes from the hydrant
Then there's the man who walks
down to his Office every morning, rain
or snow, in sunshine and in storm. The
more distant his home from his office
the more he win talk about 1t, and he
will tell you that he has become so ac-
customed to it that the only time he
can get an extra thrill out Of it is when
the streets are deep with snow and the
wind is blowing hurricane.
Heaven may forgive the man who
rises at 5 summer and winter, spring
and fall We never can. The early
riser is not criminal simply because
the law does not designate his Of
Tense as a crime. But it is admitted
that the law has its defects Nothing
can approach the look of superiority
on the face of the early riser. He has
found the only road to health or
wealth. The books he has read before
breakfast would If collected In heap
make the Congressional library look
small
There are some who would place in
the first rank of this group that rug
ged, hardy, vigorous. full blooded gen.
tleman who can't breathe in room
unless all the windows and doors are
open. The lower the pressure of steam
in the radiator, the lower the mercury
in its tube and the wilder the play of
the winds over the roofs and around
the corners the more insistent is he
that you are imperiling your very life
by not occupying an Office wide open to
every wind that blows.
Oh, Spartan virtue is fine thing. but
it would be simply sublime If its mod
ern opponents and inculcators would
just keep still about it-Washington

COUNTESS PoTocKA.
The Woman Who Sang to Chopin a.
He Sank to Death

The Woman Who Sang to CAopin as
He Sank to Death.
AS the great Chopin lay dying his
soul was ushered out by the song Of
the beautiful Countess Delphine Po-
tocka, who had been his dearest conf
dante and friend. The romance Of their
friendship, one Of the sweetest id his
tory, is related by Gustav Kobbe in the
Delineator. The last tragic scene in the
life of the composer has often been de-
scribed and has been painted by Bar
rios, but it Is so touching that one may
well read another version of it. Mr..
Kobbe writes:
Then came what is perhaps the
most touching scene that has been
handed down to us from the lives Of
the great composers When Delphine
entered what was soon to be the death
chamber Chopin,s sister Louise and a
few of his most intimate friends were
gathered there She took her place by
Louise. When the dying man opened
his eyes and saw her standing at the
foot of his bed, tall, slight, draped in
white, resembling a beautiful angel,
and mingling her tears with those of
Louise his lips moved, and those near
est him, bending over to catch his
words. heard him ask that she would
sing.
Mastering her emotion by a strong
effort of the will, she sang in a voice of
bell-like purity the canticle to the Vir-
gin attributed to Stradella-sang it so
devoutly, so thereally, that the dying
man. artist and lover of the beautiful
to the very last whispered in ecstasy:
How exquisite! Again, againp
"Once more she sang, this time a
psalm by Marcello. 1t was the haunted
hour of twilight. The dying day draped
the scene in its mysterious shadows.
Those at the bedside had sunk noise
lessly ON their knees Over the mourn
full accompaniment of sobs fioated the
voice of Delphine like a melody from
heaven"

..PedigreeY Of .Fox.y

II any Londoner crawling up to bust
ness by train or tram through the fog
turned his idle mind to wondering why
it was called "fog" he would probably
decide that it could not have been call
ed anything else. Fog" is its obvious
name. Yet there is much speculation
among philologists on this point DR..
Murray's dictionary suggests an inter
esting pedigree. AS far back as the
fourteenth century "fog" meant after
grass, the rank grass that sprang up
after hay harvest or grew in the win
ter, while in the north 1t meant moss.
Then "foggy" came to mean Doggy.
Next it was used to mean bloated or
puffy of the flesh of men or animals,
and finally, as applied to ale or air, it
meant thick, and our modern fog was
derived back from this "foggy." Skeat,
however, goes straight to the Danish
'fog," as in "snee fog" a snowstorm,
from 'fyge." to drift. The worst of
London fogs is that they do not drift
fast enough.-London Chronicle.

THE NAME AMERICA.

When 1t Was First Proposed For the
Newly Found Continent.
The name of America for the newly
discovered continent was first proposed
in the little volume put forth at st. Die,
In the Vosges, in the year 1907 by
Waldzeemuller, better known by the
Hellenized form of his name, Hyla-
comylus. Three or four editions of this
treatise were published at st. Die be-
fore 1907, and few years afterward
an edition without date was printed at
Lyons by Jean de la Place. All these
editions are of extreme rarity, and
probably that printed at Lyons is the
rarest of all, though the library of the
British museum possesses two copies
OF it. 1t has never been suggested that
any maps were engraved to accompa-
ny either Of the editions, but it has al
ways been supposed that the earliest
map with the word America" marked
on the new found world was the 'aTy-
pus Orbis," engraved on wood for the
"Enarrationes Joannis Camertis in G.
Julii Solini Polyistora," printed at vi

How the Professionals Base Them

Never do panhandlers make the mis-
take of appealing to the reason. The
emotions of the crowd only are at

human story in the pose. What, for in
stance, could be more compelling Of
sympathy than the spectacle of the
bent old graybeard patiently and de-
spairingly as it seemed grinding a
wheezy old organ which he had tied
into broken down baby carriage? The
suggestiveness of that perambulator,
coupled with the walls of that organ,
more forlorn than mortal child ever ut
tered, was worth dollars a day to the
old fellow. 1t was reprehensible art
of course, but art nevertheless. And
the artist grew rich, for when in
vestigated by the police he was found
to be the owner Of many houses in Ho-
boken.
Again, could there be anything more
likely to excite compassion than the
crust throwing trick? 1t was invent

whose French disciple, Lemaire, prac-
ticed it subsequently. have seen a
crust thrower operating in Sixth ave
nue.. He was a semi-well dressed man,
who walked swiftly down through the
crowds of shoppers. Suddenly he ut
tered hoarse cry and darted out into
the roadway, where, bouncing upon a
crust of bread which he had thrown
there previously, he began gnawing it
ravenously. He did not wait for sym

ran after him and crowded one another

THE CITY OF cRocoDILEs.
An Ancient Site Said to Have Been
Built by Pharaoh

An Ancient Site Said to Have Been
Built by Pharaoh.
The crocodile, one Of the most sacred
animals Of the east, has given its name
to several ancient sites. OF the various
''cities of crocodiles," the names of
which have been handed down to us by
Herodotus, Pliny and Strabo, perhaps
the most striking was the "CFocodilopo-
lis" Of the ancient Egyptian province Of
Fayum, which, according to tradition,
was built by that pharaoh who made
the lives of the children of Israel bit
ter with hard service
This province lies within an almost
complete circle of hills-a little oasis
In the midst of the desert, where roses
and grapes mingle with figs and olives
and luxuriant palm trees grow almost
into forests.
It's capital is Medinet, and a little to
the north of the city are a number of
irregularly shaped mounds. Beneath
these are the ruins of the pharaoh
built "Crocodilopolis," the city of
Crocodiles," later called Arsinoe, and
the shrine of the sacred crocodile Of the
neighboring Lake Moeris, which was
then 450 miles in circumference.
This lake held the sacred crocodiles,
and as each died in turn it was buried
in one Of the 1900 underground sepul-
cheers of the world famed Labyrinth"
at hand, side by side with the embalm-
ed bodies Of successive pharaohs.-

HUGE STATUE OF BUDDHA.
The Mammoth Reclining Figure at
Rangun, Burma.

The Mammoth Reclining Figure at
Rangun, Burma.
To the eastern traveller the statue of
Buddha is familiar sight. From
Colombo, in Ceylon, to Kobe, In Japan,
he is everywhere greeted by the same
calm, impressive and mysterious face
of the eastern preceptor of perfection.
But in no city in the orient do the
form and face of Buddha constitute
so frequent or so essential a part Of the
ctty's decoration as in Rangun, Bur
ma. starting place Of Mr.. Kipnng's
famous Road to Mandalay," the
stronghold of Buddhists. Notable
even among the countless statues of
Rangun Is the mammoth Buddha, rep
resenting the strange teacher not
standing or sitting crosslegged, as In
the majority of statues, but reclining
on a huge raised couch, his mighty
form stretched out for 200 feet, while
his shoulders rival the width of that
wonder Of the ancient world, the Colos-
sus Of Rhodes, their titanic breadth
reaching fifty feet
But one among the wonders of Ran
gun, this mighty figure rests near the
famous Shoay Dagon, the center of the
Burmese Buddhist world, crowned by
the golden pagoda, which rises 300 feet
above it, its walls covered with pure
gold, the gift of a prince who contrib
uted his weight in gold to the pagoda.
In the Shoay Dagon there are countless
al chr 80
relics of Gautama, the last Buddha.
AL, equally with the huge reclining
Butldha, form a part of the religious
rites of the Buddhists, for the es-
sence of Buddhism consists in the
struggle to become like Buddha, to at
tain his perfection by obedience to his
precepts. To do this 1t is necessary al
ways to have Buddha in mind, and it
is for this reason that every city in the
Buddhist world is literally crowded
with his images. Buddha himself is
not deified. Potentially every Bud
dhist may attain his perfection, but
only by the eternal imitation of his
practice.
But while statues such as Rangun's
huge colossus are important in Bud
dhist worship, of even more Importance
are the relics of Buddha
1t was about the Shoay Dagon that
the Burmese made their last fierce fight
when the British came to Rangun A
Venetian traveller of 800 years ago Wis
iting the Shoay Dagon has left de-
scription Of this famous temple, con-
ceding its claim to rivalry with his
own Venice, that would serve as a con-
temporaneous description, and today,
as in untold centuries past, the Bur
mese still bring their offerings of flow
ers and fruit, candles and paper flags,
to lay before the huge reclining Bud
dha, whose hands would afford COM
Portable standing room for four Of the
worshipers and whose gigantic face
wears the strange, inscrutable express
sion Of calm which is the outward
mark Of spiritual Buddhism. - New

There is only one mistake that can
be made in making coffee, and that is
to cook it too much. When subjected
to momentary boiling and then re-
moved from the fire it is a drink for
the gods, but If it is kept at high de-
gree of heat for thirty minutes it's
character is entirely changed, and it
becomes almost poisonous. OF the peo-
pie who overlook coffee in this way
some do it through ignorance, but the
greater part of them through greed in
order to make it go further and pro-
duce larger profit. What we need is
a law making it a capital offense to
boil coffee more than three minutes
