"Stop-we drop on here" sings out
Jack Travers. as he thrusts his head
from a carriage that has just passed
the magnificent Scott monument
facing Princes street In the beautiful
city Of Edinburgh.
The Caledonian Jehu draws up to
the curb, and his two passengers
alight. Jack seems to be young
man; there is nothing at all extraor-
binary about his appearance as seen
on this moonlit night. only that his
quick actions would mark him as a
fellow of considerable energy.
His companion. on the contrary,
promises to attract an abundance Of
attention In the streets OF Edinburgh.

queue. and insists on dressing, to
some extent, at least, in his national
garb.

rolls away from the spot. here we

street. You see, we have loads OF

that witching hour when church
dead Let us then saunter along
Princes street in the direction of Cal
ton Hill; and when we come to the
north bridge over the railroad, we
cross to High street. from which we
can easily reach our destination, the
historic Canongate."
II All Sin hears he makes no reply,
being accustomed to such soliloquies
on the part of the remarkable gentle
man with whose strange fortunes he
has for several years been united.
In adversely as well as prosperity
this simple follower of Confucius had
proven as faithful as the needle to the
Pole. He knows more OF Jacks life
than any other person on. earth, but
secrets remain inviolate in his heath
en- breast.
He walks beside Jack, trifle to the
rear. as though he would not presume.
All Sin knows his place, and in his
eyes this tall young man is god
whom he worships In secret.
Sauntering slowly on, Jack casts an
occasional glance aloft, and presently
finds that they are exactly under the

The funnel trick is very clever and
you can easily perform 1t If you will
have two thin tunnels soldered to-
gether one inside the other SO that
they appear as one funnel on top. Be-
fore you are to perform the trick
pour some water into the bottom end
between the two tunnels and let 1t re-
main in that upside down position un-
til you are ready.

cross pieces. 1t will be well to place
the first layer, beginning at the third
row of cross pieces from the bottom,
and finishing one side in this way be-
fore covering the side higher.
The second layer should be accom-
panied at the fourth cross piece, pass
ing the end inside the third and out

the first layer and so on until the
walls are covered with a thick mat

Being under water, choking will en-
sue. and the rescuer will gain COM
plete control.
Should the rescuer be clutched
round the body and arms, or round the
body only-a rather improbable posi-
ton, but one which may occur-he
should lean well over the drowning
person, take a breath, and either
withdraw both arms in an upward d.
rection in front of his body, or act in
accordance with the instructions for
releasing oneself If held round the
neck.
In either case the rescuer should place
the one hand on the drowning mans
shoulder and the palm OF the other
hand against his chin, at the same
time bringing the knee up against
the lower part of his chest. and then,
by means Of a strong and sudden push.
stretch the arms and leg straight out.
and throw the whole weight of the
body backward.
This action will break the clutch and
leave the rescuer free.
Many a gallant person has lost his
life through lack of knowledge of
these simple and effective methods of
releasing oneself from the drowning;
yet with little study and frequent
practice in the water even a moderate
swimmer can go out fearlessly to aid
others.

and putting your finger over the tube
turn the funnel over and pour the
water from the glass into it. Instant
ly drink off this fresh water. turn the
funnel upside down to show your aud

Every one will be amazed at this
trick, but you must refuse to repeat

Then take a lightweight stick. or a

pot.
A third trick is to construct bridge

place the three knives SO that the

blade of No. 8 on No. 1, with the han

Below Is shown. how to tell the col
or on the face of cards from looking
at the backs. This is one of the sim
plest of tricks, but IL neatly done will
appear very marvellous to the unin-
itiated. Take from the pack about
twenty cards, including reds and
blacks, that is. hearts. diamonds.
spades and clubs; privately separate
the blacks and reds into two parcels.
Bend the black-faced cards slightly
convex. so that if put on the table
faces down the ends will appear a
little turned up. Similarly bend the
red-faced cards slightly concave, so
that If laid faces down, the middle of
the cards will be raised somewhat
from the level of the table. When
you have done this. throw the cards
carclessly on the table, faces down;
ask one of the company to shuttle
them in any way, and then, by OBJ
serving whether a card is concave or
convex-that is bent up or down at
the ends-you can name its color to
be black or red.

CLEVELAND DECl INES


PORTLAND. Me-. Nov. s, 1905. The
letter which former President Grover
Cleveland wrote to the Thomas B. Reed
Memorial Association in response to a
request that his name be included in the
list of directors of the association was
with his consent made public yesterday.
1t is as follows
Your recent letter asking me TO be-
come a director of the Thomas B. Reed
Memorial Association is at hand | had
great admiration for Mr.. Reed and gr,s
respect for his ability / think it is en-
inently proper that his high character
and public service should be fttingly
memortalized.
ut seems to me, however, that this
should be undertaken by those who
were nearer to him in every way tnan
can claim to have been. Another rea-
son stronger than this for hesitation is
found in my reluctance to be identified
with project to which I cannot give
the least attention. ! am not at all
satisfied to be nominally director ia
such moyemen without performing any
useful duty; and this would be my exact
predicament, if l should accept such a
place in the directorate Of your associa-
fion.
Il do not want to be suspected of an
graciousness or lack Of interest, but if
may be allowed to modestly contribute
instead of appearing as director shall
feel much more comfortable
The letter was accompanied by gen
erous contribution.

Faganites Seek 10 Blind the
Voters By a Trick Worthy
of Their Record.
FALSE LETTERS MAILED
DOCUMENT SIGNED BY FIcTI-
TIouS NAMES SENT OUT BY
THE ADMINISTRATION TO GRE
ATE THE IMPRESSION OF A
DEMOCRATIC ATTACK.

Mayor Pagan in his rnessa ges and in
a circular letter sent through the mails,
warned the public that letters iramical TO
his candidacy would be sent out on the
eve of election. He said they would pur-
port to come from him, and he advised
that no attention be paid to them.
The letters were written so as to ere
ate the impression that they emanated
from Democratic sources
1t was most despieable political trick
and is only another evidence of the cam
paign of deceit that has been carried on
by the Faganites.
The letters bear the fictitious sigma
lures of Herman Pennypacker and P. l..
aCllahan. A copy of the lettrs fell in
to the hands of Chairman James Hen
nessey. of the Democratic Committee,
and he took the proper steps to relieve
the Democratic party Of any responsible
ity for them.
The Democratic party wonld not re-
sort to such despicable political trick, .
he declared, "and | cannot denounce too
strongly the party that would be guilty
of such an act, The Democrats have
refrained from injecting religion into the
campaign. We had no knowledge that
such letters were in preparation. The
Faganites did 1t is for the people to
draw their own inference. The Pagan
campaign has been one Of deceit from
start to finish.
THE letters signed Pennypacker and
Callahan were issued for the purpose of
injuring the Democratic candidate for
Mayor. The people are not so easily
fooled, and they will resent such low
down political methods.

NEWARK, Nov. 7, 1905.-Layt night
there was an air of confidence around the
headquarters of both parties. The chair
men of the two political parties declared
themselves sure of victory.
Chairman William P. Martin, Of the
Colby Independent Committee. made a
prediction that CODY would win by 49,
900, the Assembly ticket by 1900, and
Frank H.. Sommer for Sheriff By H.
600. Major Carl Lentz, who has refused
to step aside in this fight claimed the
same relative pluraliies for the Senate
and Assembly candidates, and larger
vote than Chairman Martin predicts fot
Sommer
Democratic Chairman Alvin W Crane
announced that Julian A. Gregory, will
surely reduce the Republican vote by
many thousands, enough, Mr.. Crane be-
leved, TO defeat Colby. The Democratic
leader is also hopeful that Mayor Isaac
Shoenthal, of Orange, will win the fight
for Sheriff against Sommer and that in
the city of Newark William P. O'Rourke
and Frederick L. johnson will be elect-
ed to the Board of Works over Frank ].
Book and Arthur R. Denman.
Both Mr.. Colby end Mr. Gregory are
confident Of victory. Mr.. Colby said last
night: "''I am quite content to leave to
the judgment of the voters of Essex
County whether or not I should repre-
sent them the State Senate. 1 feel

NEWARK. Nov. I, 1905. While
hearing testimony in the suit for diyor'fe
brought by John H. Kirk Of Hackep-
sack, against his wife Dora Boehm Kirk,
Vice Chancellor Pitney became enragea.
AS result of the judicial loss of tenn
per everybody in general, and the New
York courts in particular, came in for IA
sound scolding.
The defendant is a member of the Sal
vation Army. Descrtion was the ground
alleged for the suit. The court encount-
cred great difficulty in getting at the
stories of the disputing couple. The petit
toner, in answering questions, disclosed
propensity to start out in loud voice,
which he gradually lowered until the last
few words of each sentence were an UNI
ineligible humble.

attire he had pitched his voice at its hight
est key in asking questions the witness,
turned blankly toward him and said:
Hey? beg pardon.
When the murnbling of the petitioner
grew unbearable, the Vice Chancellor
peremptorily ordered Kirk to make his
responses in manner so that they could
be understood.
Then when William E. Mackay, Jr.
counsel for Mrs. Kirk. persisted in BEL
ginning second question before the
previous query was answered, the Court
siernly interrupted
Don't ask new question until the
witness gets through answering" the
Court said. If you interrupt him again
I'll commit you for contempt"
When the yice-Chancellor was in

by the defendants counsel, had sent
back the witness fee and word that she
would not respond the Yice~Chgncallor

Ryn.sr P. Wortsndyke, who was

the Vice Chancellor. He asked Mrs.
Kirk questions that seemed to the Court
to be frivolous and inconsequential

Kirk charges that his wife deserted
him in the spring of 1908, after they had
lived together since their marriage in
1896. Mrs. Kirk denies that she was
guilty Of desertion but testified that her
husband had admitted to her that he
was friendly with another woman Let

submitted to prove this allegation. The
defendant also declared that she had
