RUSSIA SHOWS RESENTMENT
Bitter Newspaper Comment on Course
of United States at Manila.

ST. PETERSBURG-The Russian
papers, notably the NOvOe Vremya
and the Russ, the latter recently re-
fiecting the views of the foreign Office,
display a great deal of resentment
against the United States for enforc,
ing the twenty-four hour rule in the
case of the Russian cruisers at Man
liza. The Russ quotes the American
neutrality regulations and contends
that President Roosevelt, in applying
the principle that only injuries re.
ceived during a storm and not in bat
tie can be repaired in American ports.
not only narrOws the American regu'
~lations, but infringes recognized prin.
ciples of international law. This pa.
per declares it has official warrant
for the statement that representations
have been made at Washington on
the subject.

Larqe and Roomy.

A violent windstorm which travelled
over Berks county some time back
saw fit to take with it an old shed
wherein a certain blacksmith was
wont to ply his trade. The black
smiths determination to continue bust
ness in the open, pending the construc-
tion of a new building, caused not a
little amusement among the neighbor-
ing farmers. One of these, driving
along a day or two later, saw limping
toward him a horse, led by a disconso-
late looking individual, who, on draw
ing near, explained:
"My horse has lost a shoe. Can you
tell me where 1 can find a blacksmith
shop?"

A STRIKE CRISIS
Many More Men May Become In.
VOWED,

CHICAGO-The transfers strike
has reached the point where its fur
Their progress and It's further increase
Is dependent upon the action taken by
the members of the Chicago Team
Owners association. This organiza-
ton has from the first declined to
make deliveries to the boycotted
houses and has constantly urged the
teamsters to arbitrate the question OK
making such deliveries.
The teamsters have positively re-
fused to deliver or receive goods. and
now the last chance of securing any
concessions from the teamsters having
faded away, the members of the Team
Owners association must either de-
eide to deliver goods or allow the
the matter. Opinion among the men,
bers of the Team Owners association
is strongly divided and the result may
be a split in it's ranks. Many Of the
largest team owners in the city have
announced that they are going to
make deliveries,
A meeting of the organization will be
held tomorrow night and the action
taken at that time will largely deter
mine the future scope of the strike.
IL the Team Owners association de-
cides to make deliveries and dis
charge all of its men who refuse to
obey orders, the ranks of the strikers
will be increased by about 5000 men.
The strikers made another attempt
to force a break in the ranks of the
Employers association. A committee
called on Edward Hillman, proprietor
of a large dry goods store, and asked
him to arrange another conference be-
tween the teamsters and the employ.
ers. Mr.. Hillman positively refused,
saying that unless the strikers had
some new proposition to offer 1t was
useless to attempt to reach any agree
ment. Their present attitude he said
was such as there could be no pos
sible middle ground upon which the
employers could meet them. This was
the only attempt at adjusting the
strike made and it is not probable that
more efforts will be made for some
time to come.

"Then you are perfectly willing to
trust me with ten thousand dollars
of your money! asked Louis rather
proudly.

money to find out where the strong
hold of these Williams is. Knowing
what you are going to do tomorrow,

the party in sight, up to the very

mentally, morally and physically for

and every action. I can say no more!"
1t was their farewell.
Regan was in the general Office of
the detective agency with Denver
when Lang called in the morning. He
saw Louis draw Denver into converse
ton, while slyly stealing a blank
check from the open bank book lying
on DenYer's table, and saw Louis re-
eeive a check from Jim presumably
for ten dollars.
Regain followed Lang into the hall.

"Caeh II" answered Lang.

MYSTERY OF MONEY
SUBJECT ABOUT WHICH LITTLE
Is REALLY KNOWN.
Proper Methods of Acquiring 1t, or It's
Wisest u, Are Matters Upon
Which the Wisest Differ-Has No
Power to Confer Happiness.

For centuries the economists have
been disputing about the definition
and offices Of money, says the Wall
Street Journal. There are almost as
many different theories of money as
there are schools in theology. There
seems to be an immense difficulty in
comprehending just what money is,
what it does in facilitating the ex-
changes of the world and what is its
influence upon prices. Here is the
most practical and substantial thing in
the world, an article which is in uni
Versal use, and which is most eagerly
sought after by people of every cline
and race, and yet how little we know
about it! Even now no one can tell
exactly how much currency a country
needs to carry on it's business and how
large should be the reserves Of gold
against the bank reserves. Even
bankers, whose business all the time
is to deal in money, a. others deal in
merchandise, are liable to become
hopelessly confused in a discussion
regarding the principles which under
lie it's use.
Strange to say, the confusion which
attends an economic study of money,
also attends any discussion of the
ethics of money. All the philosophy
in the world has not answered the
question Of how much money it is
wise for a man to possess. How wide
ly men differ-even our scholars and
moral instructors-as to the proper
methods of acquiring wealth. We
even dispute as to the wisest use of
money. We are not agreed as to the
distribution of money in charity. It
would seem as if the commonest, the
most universal tool of man, was the
one thing that plagued him the most.
But this is not all. Useful, indis-
pensable as money is, there is moth
ing which is more constantly put to
an evil use, or which is more likely
to destroy the man who uses it. There
is something about money which de.
files nearly all who touch it. There
are, indeed, some rare souls that are
immune to it's %corrupting influence,
but the great body of mankind are
susceptible to its corroding power.
Both lack and superfuity, both poverty
and riches, eel to destroy the finer
f1bers of the soul. The individual who
has the most chance of throwing off
moneys baneful influence is he who
stands midway between superiority
and poverty.
Money is O. microbe that poisons
the blood and perverts the mind and
heart Of a man. No one is happy
without it, and yet no one is really
happy who possesses much of it. The
more one gets the more he wants
Money getting becomes a passion. II
fastens itself upon one like a habit.
Even the opium eater is not more in
control Of a demon than one who has
got the "itch for money" He becomes
a slave to the very thing which is
intended to be his tool. The disease
affects different people differently.
Some it makes sordid, penurious,
near. Others it leads to lavish dis.
play and extravaganza. Some use 1t
for mere luxury. Others enjoy it for
its power. Nearly all, in one way or
another, are changed and often pollut.
ed by the possessions of wealth.

THE BOND BROKEN
NORWAY SEWERS TIES UNITING
HER TO SWEDEN.
STORTHING TAKES INITIATIVE
Declaration of independence and Sow
ereignty Set Forth-one of the
Causes for Desire of Sweden and
Norway to Separate Consular sys
tens.

CHRISTIANA-"Norway today Is a
fully independent and sovereign state"
This is the text of the editorials in
the Norwegian newspapers and it re-
fleets the spirit with which the people
Of Norway accept the action of the
storthing when 1t proclaimed King
Oscar no longer king Of Norway.
King Oscars refusal to sanction the
bill passed by the storthing providing
for a separate consular service for
Norway eliminated in the passage of a
resolution by the storthing declaring
the dissolution of the union of Swed-
IN and Norway and that the king had
ceased to act as king of Norway. AL
though the action was anticipated, it
caused considerable excitement in this
city on account of the anxiety as to
what action the king would take.
The crisis became acute May 26,
when his majesty, after three months
rest, during which the regency was
confided to Crown Prince Gustave, re-
sumed the reins of Office. The council
of state Immediately submitted to him
the consular bill, which he, May %,
refused to sanction, arguing that any
action must receive the sanction of
the mixed council. The Norwegian
council of state t%hereupon resigned
and the king refused to accept their
resignation, as, in view of the state of
public opinion, it was impossible to
form a new government. Demonstra-
lions were held throughout the
try endorsing the action of the council
of state.
One of the causes for the desire in
Sweden and Norway for separate con-
sular systems was the fact that Swed-
en- is protectionist, and Norway is for
free trade, and also because of Nor
ways more extensive sea trade and
other Emergencies of commercial in
~terests.
At its meeting the storthing adj
dressed a proclamation to the Norwe-
gian people, in which is given a de-
tailed account of the events preced-
ing the passing Of the resolution.
This proclamation concludes as fol
lows:
"The storthing hopes that the Nor
wegian people will succeed in living in
peace and on good terms with all, and
not the least with the Swedish people
to whom we are linked by so many
natural ties.
'The storthing is sure that the peo-
pie will join with it and with govern
ment in maintaining the full independ-
ence of Norway and with firmness and
dignified tranquility submit to the nee
essary sacrifices, and it is further sure
that all subjects will fully respect all
ordinances and prescriptions from the
government.
"All officials, civil and military.
must in every respect yield that obedi-
ence which the government has the
right to claim according to the author
ity transferred to it by the storthing
in the name Of the people of Norway"

Lang, after leaving Regain, wended
his way to the residence of Jim Den
yer.
Being admitted, not a word was
spoken until the twain were safe from
eavesdroppers in the detectives pri-
vate sleeping apartments.
"Well?" queried Denver, taking a
seat upon the edge of the bed, pre-
pairing HIMSELF to listen to Lang's
story.
"I have made my boast" said Louis,
flushed with excitement now that the
time for real action had arrived, that
I could rob a bank in the morning.
How am / to do it?"

the detective, slapping Lang OF the
back. "You have the nerve to pass
a forged check-a forged check that is
not forged?"
81 am at a loss to understand you
as yet"
at is easy enough" was Denver's
reply, seating himself at his writing
desk and filling out a check from his
book. you arrive at my Office in the
morning, timing yourself so that you
are there while Regan is in my room.
I will then fill out a check for you in
this manner" showing his protege a
check for ten dollars, made out In
his usual open, sprawling style.
"An expert penman could easily
raise this check if he wanted to-"
continued Denver, writing another
check, and make it look like this new
one,' showing him a check for ten
thousand dollars. Whats to hinder
you from keeping this check for the
ten thousand dollars? Nothing! I
have the money in the bank, and the
bank people will cash it if presented.
In the morning after receiving your
check for ten dollars, you show it to
Jack and make some remark about
raising it. Then you go to your room
