TRAGEDIES MARK
PHILADELPHIA RAID
Haunts of Vice Give Forth and
Honored Names Are in
the Mire. d
New York Sun Special Service.

Philadelphia, July 4.-The tender
loin of this city has been practically
wiped out by the tremendous raids
made upon its disorderly plague spots
by the police. AS mecca of those
seeking high protection among city
officials, it exists no more. And by
the same token Philadelphia is stirred
as 1t has not been stirred before for
"a quarter of century. .~>
For in the raid there were captured
men and women whose names adorn
the bluebook Of society, who are we'll
known figures in Newport, New York
and Paris, and who had to use all
their influence to keep their highly re-
spected names from being trailed in
the mire. That there will come an
aftermath of divorce and scandal few
who are cognizant Of the facts can
doubt. .%Z.@I .T..ss, =
: It was the greatest raid in the city s
history and marks more plainly than
anything else could have done the COM
plete downfall Of ring rule in this mu-
nicipality. ...'r.
Of the prisoners captured, over 400
were, still in Jail this morning. They
consist of clubmen, lawyers, business
men, whose names are known turnout
the city; sports and high flyers, young
scions of society from the Germantown
section, and, sad to relate, in some in
stances their sisters and their cousins
and their aunts.

GREAT NORTHERN WRECK.
Several Persons Are Hurt at Station
Near Williston.

Williston, n. D., July 5.-A fearful
yet fortunate wreck occurred at Spring
Brook, a little village IL miles east OF
Williston, at about o'clock this af-
ternOOn.
Number 3, which reaches Williston
at $40 D. M, was four minutes late
coming into Spring Brook and running
at a high speed down grade. The
train was not a heavy one, but there
was an empty car in the middle of
the train. This car jumped the track
about 100 yards east of the switch at
Spring Brook. The engineer Grant
Conley, had just applied the air and
he did not feel the Jar of the car
running on the rails. At the switch
this car went on the side track and
a complete wreck followed. Every part
of the train left the track except the
engine and the special car at the rear.
Explosions followed Immediately and
set the wreckage on fire.
The passengers made desperate
attempt TO escape through the win.
dows of the cars and all succeeded.
Seven cars were burned entirely
and vet not a person was killed and
only a few were seriously hurt. A
large number were slightly injured.

Result of Bureaucracy,

st. Petersburg, July with the
publication in the official Messenger
of the official account of the tragedy
at Odessa. the hand of the censorship
is raised and all the papers are filed
with columns of accounts from the
foreign papers.
Leaving aside the Vaccinations Of
the revolutionists, the press with one
voice declares mutinies on board the
ships of the Black sea fleet were the
result of the rotten system in vogue
in the Russian navy. the blue jackets
being utterly neglected and the off,
GERS living ashore except during the
brief cruises. Captain Clado, in a
long review, affirms that the question
of food was mere pretext, the real
cause being deeper, in the complete
lack of sympathy between the men
and their officers, most of whom, he
said, are disgustingly incompetent.
Owing to their influence at st. Peters
burg, they care nothing for good SER
vice or the we'll being and content
ment of the men.
Other writers. some of whom are
evidently high in the service, but who
write under assumed names, in a most
savage fashion declare that the bu-
reaucracy regime in the navy is only
reaping what it has sown, and plainly
intimate that similar conditions ex-
ist in the army.

Watch Which Pope Carries.

The story of the watch which Pope
Plus carries is well worth telling.
One of the cardinals was at the vati-
can recently, and while talking with
him, Pope Plus took his watch from
his pocket to see what time it was.
The cardinal noticed that the time
piece was a cheap nickle affair, with an
old shoestring attached to it in place
of a chain. The cardinal drew his
own costly chronometer from his
pocket and asked the pope to take it
as a gift, and give him the nickle
one. Then the pope's face lit up
with one of those smiles which. if
one has been fortunate enough to see.
can never be forgotten, and said that
the old watch was quite good enough
for him. He added that it was given
to him when lad by his mother, who
saved up her hard earned coppers un-
til she could buy it, but there was no
money left for chain. One of his
sisters gave him the shoestring for
that, and he was so pleased with his
gift that he promised his mother he
would carry it as long as it kept time.
The pope has never had another
watch, and says that he never will.

ALL READY
F0RSEARCH
ROGERS RANcHERS BEGIN SEC
OND HUNT FOR QUAY'S BODY
TOMORROW.

Reports just received from Rogers
are to the effect that arrangements
for the second search for the body OF
John Quay, the missing rancher, are
all completed, and if the weather con
ditions are favorable, the people OF
that neighborhood feel satisfied that
their efforts will be successful.
It Will be Thorough.
Owing to the many storms which
made it necessary to delay starting
the last search from time to time, the
number who finally started out was
comparatively small, and the work was
therefore not carried out on as eXten
sive a scale as was originally plan
ned. This time practically the whole
neighborhood will participate in the
hunt, and much more ground can be
covered.
Officers Will Take Part.
The sheriffs office will be represent
ed in the hunt by one OF the Officers
from this city, and in addition, County
Attorney Roy E. Ayers will be on
hand. Mr.. Ayers has taken an active
interest in this mysterious affair from
the first, and, like all others familiar
with the facts, is thoroughly convinced
that Quay was murdered.
Approves the Search.
Whether the search results in the
finding of the body or not, Mr.. Ayers
is in sympathy with the movement
and will lend it all the encouragement
he can.
1T is the common belief" said Mr.
Ayers this morning, that murder has
been done, and in support of law and
order, it is desirable that every means
should be taken to ascertain the facts
Because a case presents some diff
culties is no reason why an effort tc
vindicate the law should not be made
If the murder theory is sustained
there are other things besides the mere
finding of the body to be done. That
is the first step, however, and | hope
it will be successful.

An Antidote for Nicotine,

Many experiments have been made
1or the purpose of rendering tobacco
harmless, some investigators even CO.
ing SO far as to take from tobacco
large portion of the nicotine But
in this case all of the aroma was also
taken from the weed, and smokers
emphatically declared that they pre-
ferred straw. DR.. l.. Menard, in Cos.
mos. Paris, says that the different
methods in use to make tobacco harm
less consist on the one hand of put
ting the nicotine in chemical combi-
nation with other substances, the net
result of which is to neutralize the bad
products which result from the com
bustiOn. while on the other hand we
have arrangements for filtering the
smoke. For the latter purpose var
iOus means have been Employed: cot
ton, amianth, charcoal etc, while to
increase their activity these products
are impregnated with an acid (sul-
phuric, phOsphoric. citric). or with a
body which will precipitate the aka
loids of the solutions. All of these
methods. however, are unsatisfactory.
The acids sensibly affect the aroma Of
the tobacco and produce sense Of
dryness in the throat, while the reag-
ents Of the alkaloids are often poison
Gus and should only be used with
great care"
DR.. Menard, therefore, recommends
new procedure suggested by M.
Sontag. This consists of filtering the
smoke through cotton impregnated
with perchloride of iron, process
which may be easily arranged for in
all pipes and cigar holders. The fl
teration of the smoke in this way di-
minishes considerably the proportion
of harmful substances which were
originally present in the smoke.

ary, 1862. The brigaue participated
IN the second battle of Bull Run, An
t1etam, Charlottesville and Freder-
icksburg, as we'll as number of mi
nor engagements.
1t was at the battle Ut Fredericks-
burg. where General Meagher achiev-
ed undying fame, he himself being
wounded while leading the charge
against Mary's heights
After the battle, he resigned from
the service temporarily, but was re-
commissioned as a brevet general, and
for time had command of the de.
partment of the district Of Etowah.
Comes to Montana.
Upon the recommendation of Gen
eral u. S. Grant, General Meagher was
in 1866, appointed secretary of the ter
ritory of Montana, arriving in Helena
during that year. together with his
wife, the trip having been made by
boat from st. Louis to Fort Benton,
and thence overland to the capital.
During the absence of Governor Ed
gerton for several months in the fol-
lowing year, he was acting governor Of
t heterritory, and it was while serv-
ing the young common ealth in that
capacity that he lost his life.
Governor Meagher had gone to Fort
Benton for ammunition and armament
with which to equip DOdy of men
he had organized to repel the Indians.
While en- route, he was taken i'll, and
was confined to his bed for six days
at Sun River. This illness is believ-
ed by many to have affected his mind
During the evening of the day of
his arrival at Fort Benton, he called
upon friend, the pilot of the steam
er George A. Thompson, and after
spending an hour or more in CONVEX
sation and reading, he retired for the
night. Shortly afterward splash was
heard and the cry went up MAN ov-
erboard!" General Meagher had fall
en from the boat and although sys-
tematic search was made for years
'afterward, the body was never re.
covered.
The idea of honoring General Meagh.
er in the manner decided upon had
long been in contemplation and in
embryonic state until such men as
senators w. A. Clark and Thomas H.
Carter, former Senator T. G. Power
F. Augustus Heinze, E. Warren Toole,
J. D. Ryan, J. H. Lynch, Bishop Bron
del and William Scallon, and hosts
of other we'll known citizens. not only
made liberal contributions, but gave
the matter their personal attention,
with the result that the necessary
funds were forthcoming ,and the sta
tue ordered. Permission was readily
obtained for it's erection in the state
house grounds.

TORNADO IN TEXAS.
Many Lives Are Lost and Much Dam
ace is Done.

age is Done.
Fort Worth, Tex, July "a tor
nado which struck Texts in the up
per edge of Montague county, com.
ing from the northeast and swinging
far to the southeast this afternoon,
caused the loss, it is believed, of 40
lives, injured a large number of peo-
pie, and did untold damage to growing
crops and cattle.
Fortunately the tornado missed the
small towns in the section through
which it passed, but it zigzagged in
such a way as to take in the homes
of many farmers and stock raisers
in the section.
At Jacksboro the force of the wind
was terrific. The Baptist church and
20 other buildings were blown of
their foundations and number of
buildings totally destroyed. Mrs.
Travis Calhoun was seriously injur.
ed. Travis Calhoun, Mrs. Thomas
Horton and Henry Wesser and fam
lily were also injured.
At Montague no lives We're lost in
the town, but in the country great loss
of life is reported. The wires are down
in all directions and it is difficult to
get particulars. Ten persons are
| known to be dead in the neighborhood
of Montague. Most Of those killed
lived on Salt creek, along which the
tornado swept with special force.
| At Nacona the tornado passed few
miles to the south, and later lists give
the dead at IA and the injured at Al.
A reliable man at Nacona, who has
been over the section says that re-
ports were being received of the dead
when he left there and he places the
| loss of life at 60.

EXPLAINS HOW FACTS REcuR.
Austrian Savant Finds Periodicity in
the Memory Of Mankind.

the Memory Of Mankind.
AS the result of many experiments
DIR. Swoboda, an Austrian savant, has
formulated new theory to account
for the tricks of memory, the way In
which recollection of bygone events
will flash into the brain without ap
parent cause.
DR.. Swoboda's suggestion is that
such souvenirs have tendency OF
their own to recur at the end of stat
ed periods. One such period is 23
hours. Thus, 23 hours after the brain
has been impressed with the idea, a
melody, picture, or an event, 1t re
turns involuntarly. Longer periods
may elapse before the return of the
memorized fact, but DR.. SwOboda finds
that they are multiples of 23-such
as 46, SO, so and so on.
These figures refer only to the
brains of men. Women's brains move
more quickly, and recollection comes
back in periods of IS hours and mul
tiples thereof. DR.. Swoboda explains
this curious recurrence of memory by
the oscillation which the organism
undergoes-an oscillation which is
quite rhythmic and regular and var
les in sexes. Another Viennese doctor
pursuing the same idea, has already
noted the return of periods in path
ological symptoms, such as hysteria
and headache.
In regard to dreams, DR.. Swoboda
says that if attention is directed it
will be noted that certain dreams are
repeated at the end of % or 46 days
with men or % days with women.
He thinks that knowledge of these
facts should enable humanity to in
crease immensely its capacity for
memory. These recurrent waves, il
carefully studied, would greatly as
sist students preparing for examina
ton, who depend on their memory
serving them accurately at a given
date.

conventional styles followed by class

when such a hat as this may not be

ers in Central Park or among the

A small gray felt hat caught up so
as to give it the fashionable tricorner-
ed effect. with a wing or the natural
browns and whites laid on at a grace
full horizontal angle, was bought a
little while ago at an eXtravagant
price at shop noted for it's artistic
creations. Though it was attractive
ly graceful, it impressed at once as
being the conventional type of hat
which, with good luck and some su-
pervision, might have been achieved
at a cheap little shop instead of an
expensive one. Another hat of the
conventional type which is unfailing.

wings. A woman who is often seen
with this kind of chapeau in at

mer's white wear, admits that she
chooses it because at the season when
most of the world is wearing flowers
it can be gotten up for small price.
That she achieves the enviable quail

Trouble Caused by an AnoeI.

Louisville, KY, July 5.-A marble
angel. intended as a decoration in
Cave Hill cemetery, has caused the 10.
cal customs officials considerable wor-
ry. For weeks they have been wrang-
ling over the classification of the sta.
tue preliminary to fixing the duty
The trouble grew out of the fact that
the wings of the angel came in a sep
arate package, which. according to the
collector of the port made a difference
of 20 per cent in the tariff rate.
The importer, local monument
dealer. contended that the wings were
part of the statue. and the rate should
be the same. His argument, 'if an
gels get into heaven without paying
extra tariff on their wings they ought
to have the same privilege in Louis

ed, consisting of l.. w. Eldridge, w
ID. SymmeS and James Weaver, and
these gentlemen will work out pro
gram that will delight all.
A finance committee, consisting OF

stock, while Rudolph Won Tobel was
chosen as supervisor of the depart
ment of agriculture, and Mrs. T. w
Warren was named as supervisor ol
the ladies' and youths department.
