MADE A PLAYTH|NG
OF DYNAMITE STICK
Mans Frightened Wife APP
peals to Police.

NEW YORK. June H.-Because she
objected to her husband taking a few
sticks of dynamite TO bed with him for
safe keeping, Mrs. Sohn Barden, of Jer-
sey City, had her husband before Judge
Nuggins to explain his peculiar ideas on
the subject
The wife said when she objected he
proceeded to show her that the dynamite
could do no harm. unless exploded by a
fuse and cap. He took one stick of the
dynamite and banged It around the
room
In another effort to convince her that
he could make a mere plaything OF dyna-
mite he took the stick and thrust II
down the back Of her dress.
Screaming for help and hysterical from
fright Mrs. Barden dashed out into the
street. There she met Policeman Hayes,
and told him that her husband was try
Ing to blow her up
Hayes biushingly removed the ex-
plosive and then accompanied the fear
stricken woman TO her home. where he
arrested Barden.
He told Judge Higgins he meant no
harm. After being warned against taxi

Smiles Are COntrQband,
Rules Secretary Shan
EmpOye OF the Naval Office at New York
FOrfeits Ten Days Pay Because He
Wished to Flirt on Street Car.

The circulation of the smiles of the
realm as well as the condition of the
currency of the country is under the
control of the Hon. Leslie NJ. Shaw, Sec
rotary of the Treasury-and the Secre-
tary has proved 1t beyond the shadow
of doubt.
A clerk over whom Mr.. Shaw has
jurisdiction in New York tried to f1irt
with girl on street car
The Secretary heard of it. and the
clerk had to pay fine of ten days' nav
One fine morning several DAYS ago.
when the voice of spring was on tho air
and Cupid f1oated on the breezes to the
detriment of all softhearted swans Ed
ward Langdon. employed in the office of
Robert A. Sharkey, naval officer of tho
port of New York, boarded a downtown
car in New York.
lhere sat near him a pretty girl. and
.here whispered in his ear the Turing
tones of tie God of Love, who considers
all things fair in love.
Thought She Smiled Back.
Young Edward smiled at Amaryllis.
ana mere Edward made his mistake
he thought Amaryllis, whose wind
blown hair cast false shadows upon the
dimples of her chin and the rosiness of
her lips. smiled back at him.
Apparently, Edward and AuarvIl,s
Fere intended for each other. Cupfd had
shot his arrows we'll.
The young swain then took from his
pocket a visiting card. although he was
10th to let such prosaic thing intrude
upon the idyl. He dropped the card
into her lap. and waited for the next
move.
The Washington times., 1905-06-14

It came swiftly.
Amaryllis, her mouth curling in scorn,
fingers and tore it into little bits. letting
them drop on the floor of the car.
Shortly afterward Edward, downcast
and sad, left the car and Amaryilis
next alighted.
Now. although Love is blind, people
on a street car are not. Carefully, and
with the zeal that distinguishes those
people who do not love lover, several
pieced them together. The identity of
the man was discovered.
Card Sent to Shaw.
The card was sent to Secretary Shaw
with an account of the incident. The
writer did not sign his name. He acted.
he said. in the interests of unprotected
womanhood in America. He did not
suggest that Cupid and the call of
Spring be arrested. How could he, pro-
sale soul?
Then came the cruel blow. Secretary
Shaw promptly directed Mr.. Sharkey to
investigate the matter
Accordingly. one day when Edward,
his fingers resting from their toll, sat
dreaming dreams of Amaryllis and the
wiles of Cupid. he was brought down to
earth by the announcement that he had
to pay ten days wages for that smile
Amarvllis got from him.
That was the end. The curtain is runs
down. The lights are out Secretary
Shaw is the real thing in the smile line.
Cupid's FRANKS are not sacred from the
clutch of justice.
Mr.. Shaw has ruled that frog legs are
like clap Of thunder from a clear sky,
that smiles are contra band
An, Cupid. and. ah, Edward!

CURED BY CUTICURA
Now Six Years Old with Thick
Hair and Clean Scalp.
Cure Permanent.

"My baby was six weeks old when
the top of her head became covered
with thick scales, which would peel
and come off, taking the hair with it.
1twou.d soon form again and be as bad
as before. My doctor said it was
Eczema, and prescribed an ointment,
which did no good. I then tried Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment. I washed
her head in warm water and Cuticura
Soap and gently combed the scales
off. They did not come back and her
hair grew out fine and thick. She is
now a year and half old, and has no
trace of Eczema"

EQUITABLE SALE
| FIGHT OF GIANTS

Insurance Agitation.
SMITES ROCKEFELLER POWER
Expected That Morgan-Ryan Group of
Capitalists Will Form Great
Rival Institution.
SMITES ROCKEFELLER POWER

Settlement of the r-eat Equitable in
0urance scandal by an amicable adjust
ment among the opposing interest and
the transfer of u majority of stock to
q new interest. instead of putting an
end to the agitation for Federal control
ofsinsurance, is more likely, from pres
ent indications. to increase the force of
the agitation.
This is the judgment of people who are
still wondering what Thomas F. Ryan
will do with the sol shares of Equita BILE
stock which he bought from young Mr..
Hyde. The sol shares constitute exactly
a control When Hyde owned 1t every
body knew who owned it. Now nobody
knows.
Back of Mr.. Ryan are his unnamed
Associates. Thew have paid, it is re-
ported. between 100000 and $4,000. 600
for the stock. 1t can pay only Z per
cent interest, so the limit of income is
$3.507 per annum. It is plain enough that
they did not buy for the profit on their
investment in the form of dividends.
For what, then. did they buy?
Mr.. Ryan's Connections.
The best answer may be drawn from
a consideration of the interests Mr..
Ryan represents. He is head Of the
Metropolitan Traction Company. con-
trolling most of the surface lines in New
York; he is the largest single personal
factor in the gas and electric business
of the city; he has been a wonderfully
successful manipulation in railroads, to-
bacce and banking securities. He is
rated worth from s5O00e, 600 upward, and
is only a little over fifty years old.
With Equitable and It's $500, 600. 600 of as
sets In his control he rises at once to
the first magnitude among financial fig
ures. There is no more distinguished
prince of speculation and promotion in
the country
It has been said from the beginning
of the struggle for control of Equitable.
that in its last analysis it was a fight
between the Morgan and Rockefeller in
terests. Rockefeller, according to this
view, was back of E. III. Hartman, and
was deeply interested In the offer which
George Gould made for the Hyde stock.
IT is understood that Gould would have
paid willingly a considerably higher
price than Ryan's group is understood
: to have given. But Hartman and Gould
were no match for Morgan ind Ryan,
and the latter pulled out the prize.

PROPERTIES OF GEMS.

1t is difficult to define today, says
DR.. George f. Kunz in the State Min
ing Bureaus bulletin on gems. Jewel
er's Materials and Ornamental Stones
of California" what is meant by a
precious stone" for the mineralogist
would give one definition, and the jew
efer another, and the archaeolOgiSt
still a different one, while the scien-
tific collector and the gatherer of cur
los and souvenirs would not agree
with any of the others. A gem miner
al, or a precious stone" may be de-
fined as a mineral of any sort distin-
guished for its beauty, durability or
rarity, especially when cut and pol
ished. There are only a few really
precious stOnes-the diamond, the ruby
and the apphire-identical in compO-
sition-the emerald, and occasionally
the pearl-which is of animal origin
is included; formerly, also the opal.
Some twenty years ago jewelers.
sold only a few varieties of stones; to-
day they keep in stock everything
known to the mineralogist and de-
manded by the public. The cOnsump-
tiOn of gems is larger than most peO-
| pie realize. Take one trade. alone, for
example The watches manufactured
annually in the United States use
! from seven to twenty one jewels for
each watch. The consumption annu-
| ally amounts to over 100000 ruby or
| sapphire watch jewels, and over 1000
| goo garnets, whole over $1,000 carats
of bort diamonds are used in cutting
these jewels.
In looking for gems the prospectol
should be provided with a few speci-
mems representing the scale of hard
ness, and have the means in camp. tC
determine the specific gravity. In thi:
| way he can separate the positively
worthless from the possibly valuable
| even though he cannot fully identif!
the minerals.
