STORY OF A VICTIM
Told by Herbert L. Miller Who Wit
 messed Yaqui Massacre.

Mr. Herbert L. Miller of Chicago was in the city for a few hours Wednesday leaving on the southbound M. & P. train that day for Tucson. MT. Miller has the very disagreeabIe distinction of being an American citizen who stood in front of four bullets, fired by Mexi- can bandits in Sonora. He stopped two of the bullets, had a scraped acquaint- ance with the third and permitted the fourth to pass through his hat danger ously near to the seat of his intelli- gence One of the bullets he stopped with his right hand after it was de- flected from a rock and another lodged in the fleshy part of his hip. The third grazed his right ear.
 MT. Miller is a rpresentative of the Chicago Pneumatic Tool Co.,. and is the man who took the party of Ameri- can investors into Sonora in January, to look at q mining property, and of whom four were murdered at the same time he was shot, the assault being made from ambush, and, he believes. by bandits, instead of Yaquis as here tofore alleged in newspaper reports. This ambuscade occurred near Co., oachi and is the incident that created such q sensation, on account of the prominence and connections of the vic tims. and which has since been taken up by the state department The mur- dered men were Merrill A. Call, Walter Stuebinger, Dr. Robert Clark Coy, John Kenneth Mackenzie and one of the Mexican drivers in their employ.
 The conditions in Mexico as describ- ed by Mir. Miller are to say the least deplorable if true, and as will be men toned later, they are made under oath. He says there is now about S60.000,000 of American capital invested and the protection afforded is so meager that many if they could do so would be glad to dispose of their investments and get out; not because of any fault with the investments proper, but by reason of the outrageous taxes of the government and it's lax protection of life and property. He says that from reliable reports he estimates that American capital is paying ninety per cent of the taxes in the state of Sonora.
 Any transaction such as the selling of goods by one person to another re- quires the payment of a tax of four and a half per cent. Every receipt giy- en calls for the affixing of Q two cent stamp or an alternative fine that may reach the maximum of $500. The sol. diers of the government are convicts sent there from other parts and the officers of the army are afraid to go into action with their own troops for

what's the Substitute.

If all the land used for raising to-
bacco was divided into homesteads,"
didactically began Professor Twiggs,
the village schOolmaster, during a re-
cent session Of the Linen Pants and
Solid Comfort Club-"if all the money
spent for tobacco was used in build
ing houses thereon, and all the time
and strength. and pull wasted in chew
ing and smoking tobacco was employ
ed in improving them, every man in
America, no matter how humble, could
have a home and it's comforts, clear
head, prosperity, health, happiness,
and
'That sounds as if it was just about
so, professor" drawlingly interrupted
the Old Codger, who always had to
have his say. "But in that event
what would you suggest as substi-
tute for the suave but potent five-cent
cigar, with which we so easily work
the average man when f1ve-dollar-bill
won't even begin to fetch him around
to the place where we want to land
him?"

ACTORS AS WOOD CARvERS.
Between Production of Passion Play
They Work.

They Work.
During the nine tranquil years that
intervene between productions of the
passion play at Oberammergau most
Of the actors in that wonderful drama
support themselves through their re-
markedly developed art of wood carv-
ing, says the Boston Post. Almost ex-
cluSively they devote their skill to the
production Of sacred figures and OBJ
jects.
A worldwide reputation is enjoyed
by the Christ carvers" Of Obe-am-
mergau, as they are called. A popular
play bears that name, and specimens
Of their wonderful handiwork may be
found in nearly every city Of the
globe.
Many Of the carvings are sold to
such tourists, while others are sent to
nearby cities and placed upon the
market, drifting eventually all over the
world.
Peter Rendl the curly haired per-
former Of the part Of st. John, is one
OF Guido Lang's ablest assistants and
an enthusiastic as we'll as devout
carver Of the figures of Christ.
The entire family of Anton Lang en-
cages in wood carving. It is typical Of
the home industry that the old people
and young children take part in the
less difficult tasks.
A carving school is conducted, In
which the boys are trained to follow
the trade of their fathers AS a rule
these pupils perfect themselves in the
manufacture Of toys before they at
tempt figures.
Men who take leading parts in the
passion play direct the wood-carving
industry. 1t is their pride that the re-
productions Of the characters they so
devoutly represent on the stage shall
be true to life.
In the workshop Of Anton Lang,
who in the passion play assumes the
role Of Christ, particularly may be
seen the artists at work, surrounded
by all sorts Of carved objects, includ-
ing, in addition to the well-known
figures in the sacred drama, orna-
ments for churches and affairs.
Anton Lang and his brother, Guido,
have practically a monopoly Of the
sale Of carvings. They own studios
and exhibition rooms and these are
visited by hundreds of tourists annu-
ally.

THE MONEY PROBLEM IN CHINA
Minting and Shipping of the Copper
1O-Cash Pieces.


Consul Anderson reports from Hang
chau, China, some details of the new
copper coinage of the empire which
make clear certain illusions in a re-
cent dispatch regarding the Chinese
monetary troubles, records the San
Francisco Chronicle.
There is considerable speculation in
some circles in this province as to
what is to be the result Of the policy
of the provincial government with re-
spect to the shipment Of the copper
1O-cash or "1-cent" pieces out Of the
province, The shipment is really Tile
gal, according to imperial authority,
but at the present time the coins are
being shipped from Hangchau to Shang.
hal at the rate of 100000 a month
and the rate Is increasing. The pres
ent mint is still turning out about &c.,
900 pieces day and the new mint will
turn out at least 100000 pieces moro
day. AS I have reported heretofore,
the authorities are finding this coinage
very profitable One hundred of these
coins weigh twenty-four ounces and a
small fraction Of an ounce and the
problem in profit is solved by figuring
out how pound and half Of copper,
at from 10 to 20 cents a pound. be-

all the labor it needs at from 81 to So
gold month.
The demand for the coins all over
China Is increasing. They are still
issued from the mint at 80 per dollar
(Mexican) and pass current among
the people at from 95 to o. The de-
mand in Shanghai for the coins mint
ed here really represents a demand
from other cities, for, while Hangchau
is pouring the coins into Shanghai, the
latter port, in the September quarter
Of 1904, sent $685., 583 gold worth of the
coins to Chefu and $14O,4S7 to Kaio-
chau, while Hankau and other points
secured some. The demand for the
coins among the cities Of this prov
ince, which the minis here are sup
posed to serve, is very strong. They
are rapidly driving the old cash out OF
circulation.
One phase of this copper coinage
matter is very important. 1t will be
almost an impossibility to establish a
new system Of money in China which
is not based upon th@~e 10-cash or
| 1-cent pieces.

Autos Affect Horse Raising.

A heavy fall in the price Of cart
horses at the Yorkshire spring farm
sale is attributed to the increasing use
of motor vehicles for town work, says
a London letter to the Kansas City
Journal.
Motors are affecting horse breeding
in a good many ways. In some dis
tricts where farming Is on a large
Scale it has been found cheaper to en-
ploy power instead OF horsefesh for
the conveyance Of the loads, because
of the agricultural labor.
The breeding or lighter horses for
doctors carriages, butchers carts and
livery stables will for a time show a
decline in profit because Of the grad
ual cheapening of motor cars.
but the ultimate end will be-" pre-
diets a well-known expert, that the
price of ordinary horsefesh will go up.
After the slump the boom People
will give up raising horses because It
does not pay, but there will always be
a certain demand for them, and as
the supply may easily fall below the
actual requirements, those who remain
in the business will be able to make
larger profits. 1t is hoped that the
war office is noticing the trend Of mod
ern locomotion and organizing encour
agement to farmers for the breeding
Of army horses"

Conscience Aroused by Verse of Scrip
ture, He Paid Debt.
Uncle Sam came into his own In an
odd manner recently. Deputy Collec-
tor ]. Castree Williams was at his
desk in the barge office when an elder
ly man, fashionably dressed, entered
and asked for the collector Of the port,
says the New York Mail. The visitor
was referred to Mr.. Williams, to whom
he said:
"When I arrived here from Europe
last year I declared 500 worth Of
goods. 1 swore that was all had.
I swore falsely. 1 had $3.50 worth of
goods. / was not flush at the time
and did not think it any harm to
cheat the government. l want to pay
the difference now"
Mr.. Williams figured that the extra
$50 worth Of goods would have netted
Uncle Sam about $40, and the visitor
pulled out bill of that denomination
and gave it to the deputy collector.
The latter wanted to know the mans
name and the ship he came in, but the
stranger refused to give any further
information. AS he was going away
he turned to Mr.. Williams and said:
Lend me your Bible, and I'll show
you why came to square matters"
Lend you what?' inquired Mr.. Will
Jams. a
"a Bible"
Mr.. Williams looked among az mass
of papers and books and finally said to
the stranger:
1--WE have the law on all subjects
here-Treasury Department records
and everything Of that kind-but am
afraid we haven't got any Bible. I'll
try and get one, however"
A messenger was dispatched to the
army building and half a dozen other
places around the Battery in search Of
the holy book, but he returned empty

Did Eve Get That Rib?

The Biblical story of Ewes forma-
ton from the rib Of Adam is ex-
planned by Prof. James Teacle Den
mis-, Of Baltimore, says the Boston
Post Nowadays men have twelve
ribs. Eight thousand years ago they
used to have thirteen.
Prof. Dennis knows this is SO be-
cause he has seen the skeletons. An
audience in Mccoy hall Of the Johns
Hopkins University followed his arch
aelogical lecture upon "Tombs Of the
Ancient Egyptians" with great inter-
est
The skeletons of more than 175
bodies, many Of them estimated to
date back in life to 5000 years be-
fore Christ, were discovered by the
party Of which Mr.. Dennis was a
director, and Of this number the thir-
teen-ribbed individuals were in suffi-
cient numbers to make this anatom-
ical peculiarly a distinctive feature.
Associated with DR.. George Refs
ner of the University Of California,
Mr.. Dennis one year ago made extern
sive excavations in the Plateau of
Gizeh, about ten miles from Cairo,
Egypt, when a number of remarkable
discoveries on the site Of an old
Egyptian cemetery, dating back from
the second to the seventh dynasties,
1000 to AGO B. O., were made. Also
many prehistoric tombs were dug up,
containing the bones of men who liv-
ed 5000 B. G.
Although antedating the age Of en-
balming, the bones Of several Of these
prehistoric men are all well preserv-
ed, and so per cent Of these are gift
ed with one more rib than the men
of to-day. Prof. Dennis believes that
this popularity gave rise to the le-
gend that the rib which had disap-
peared in so many cases had gone
to make Eve

Very few persons understand the
value of regularity of habits. Meals
and sleeping hours should be fixed
ones, for only harm can result from
retiring one night at 10 and another at
II o'clock unless the rising hour varies
too. Eight hours Of sleep one night
and six the next is not the way in
which to WOO and keep health, and if
a similar habit Of taking nourishment
Is encouraged there is little hope Of
reaching old age in creditable condi-
ton. If ever you are tempted to prove
or disprove these statements try going
to bed at 8 o'clock every night for
three months, rising at 5 and eating at
6, II and again, with never a break
in the routine. The result will surprise
you.

ing the last decade or so warrant us

and not of her sex alone-in three
generations. Hers was life of SER
vice, Of unselfish work and devotion
to the best interests OF society as she
saw them. She began her independ-
ent life as a teacher at Virginia
school and an ardent sympathizer with
the anti-slavery movement. She end
ed it as one Of the most effective and
influential champions OF woman suf-
frage and earnest workers in the tenn
perance movement. During the Civil
War she did excellent work as one Of
the agents Of the United States SAM
tary Commission, organizing branches,
visiting hospitals and military posts,
and appealing to the people for funds
wherewith to replenish the sanitary
supplies of the camps. She was one
Of the managers Of the Chicago SAM
tary fair, whose success exceeded all
expectations. Curiously enough, it was
the part the women Of the country
played during the war that made an
equal suffragist Of Mrs. Livermore.
Prior to the conflict she had no faith
in the ballot as means of woman's
real acknowledgements, though her hus-
band, clergyman and editor, was one
of the pioneer "suffragists.F 1t was
after the war, too, that the women
temperance reformers took a fresh
start, ana with others Mrs. Lvermore
came to hold that women could do
much more for the cause dear to them

lecturer she was brilliant, engaging
and immensely popular, and there is

not listened to her eloquent appeals
