Of Everything, Hasn't . Care.

Of Everything, Hasn't . Care.
Frederick E. Carlton. who has been
charged with almost all the crimes in
the calendar since his fall into police
clutches In Brooklyn two months ago had
another arraignment yesterday morning
in the Adams street court. He was to
have had an examination on the grand
larceny charge made by his roommate,
Schnub, but it didn't come of. as he had
been already indicted by the Grand Jury.
Carlton didn't seem a bit worried over
the many charges against him. and before
his return to the jail remarked: Il have
not a care in the world. The only thing
am objecting to now is these trips In the
Maria, 1t is a pretty tough wagon and
there are no rubber tires on it.

GOLD MINE RIGHT IN TOWN
Old Prospector Digging Cellar at
Sparks, New, Uncovers Quartz
of High Value.

Reno, Nev.-While excavating for a
cellar in the new railroad town OF
Suarks, Earnest Vans, an old miner
from California, dug up several pieces
of gold-bearing quartz float. This ex-
cited him and he continued to dig, and in
a short time uncovered more rock of the
same nature.
The ore is very rich and in some pieces
of it the gold can readily be seen. The
sand in which the rock was imbedded
was black and, upon being PANIED, gave
high values in the precious metal.
The old man searched for hours for a
ledge, but could find only a narrow
stringer of ore, which gave high values,
but which appeared to be isolated from
any other gold-bearing ore. The discov-
cry created considerable excitement In
the town, and also in Reno, but as the
property is owned by A. A. Hubbard OF
this city, no claims have been located
as yet.

Ram Kills Old Man.

A horrible accident occurred in the
town of Freedom, N. Y, by which John
Baier, an old and esteemed resident,
lost his life. Mr.. Baier, who was 50 years
old and quite infirm, started about eight
o'clock in the morning to go to the resi-
dence of his son, Henry Baier, about a
mile and a. half distant. When few
rods from his sons house he was at

Foremost Woman Sculptor.

Lovers ofart who attended the Worlds
Columbian exposition will recall the re-
markable statuette called Roma, which
asymbolizes the Eternal city" before the
unification of Italy. "ehiidless and
crownless in her voiceless Woe" The
statue was by Miss Anne Whitney
of Boston, who is now recognized as the
foremost woman sculptor in America.
Alertly interested in American problems
and conditions, with powerful mind,
quick to grasp the questions Of the day,
and an endowment of physical strength
given to few, Miss Whitney, at four
score, is in reality younger than many
of the youngsters about here, Small in
stature and dainty, her snowy hair and
wonderfully sweet face lend beauty even
to her working dress. But outside the
studio, in her gowns of soft grays and
heliotropes, her laces and jewels, she is
lovely enough to cherish in the memory
for a lifetime.

is quickening on account of preparations
made for a scooter" meet on Great
South Bay. Sportsmen of Patchogue,
Quogue, East Moriches, Eastport and
Babylon are keenly interested, and one
of the most exciting sporting contests
of the decade is promised. The "scoot-
er" is continuance which embodies the
combined properties of iceboat and
racing yacht. 1t can distance an iceboat
and make the speediest yacht look like
a scow, all in days sport. In action it
traverses ice and water with equal facil-
ity, and with perfect security to its pas
sengers. With skillful skipper at the
helm all one has to do is to hold fast
and drink exhilaration to the dregs.
Picture a wooden craft which sug-
gests nothing so much as 16-foot
yacht fattened out in rolling mill.
Step mast well forward and rig it with
a mainsail relative to the crafts size;
set jib on the snubby bowsprit, and
there you have scooter" a space.
killing, sport-giving device without a
peer.
The scooter" has maximum depth
of about IL inches amidships, diminish
ing fore and aft as the construction ap-
proaches stem and stern, both of which
are brought to a comparatively sharp
point. A 16-foot scooter" has an ex-
IRENE breadth of about four and a half
feet. There is shallow cockpit, six
feet in length and of a breadth sufficient
to give nine inches Of deck on either
side. 1t is on this narrow deck that
small, movable seats are arranged.
Three is about the right number of pas
sengers, although some of the larger
"scooters" can carry four or five per-
sons. Light, tough wood is employed in
the "scooter's" construction.
The decks are of half-inch white pine,
and the bottom of tough ash. Strips of
narrow iron sheeting are fastened
lengthways of the bottom to Offset wear
and tear from rough ice. There Is no
rudder or movable fin such as is used
on iceboats, the steering being done en-
tirely by the jib.

RABBITS ARE TOO CHEAP.
Price Received Will Not Pay for Am
munition So Missouri Farmers
Stack Arms.

Clarence, Mo.-The rabbit industry OF
Shelby county is just past the noontide
of its boom for this season. This Is the
shipping point for hunting territory
nearly 80 miles in extent. The crop Is
even more plentiful than last year, and
had prices remained at the starting fg-
ure-75 cents a dozen-nearly twice as
many rabbits would have been brought
in before the season was over
In the early part of December wagons
with high sideboards came in every day,
full and running over with the little ami
mails One dealer purchased and shipped
10000 and another handled nearly $1,000.
Not many rabbits are sold on the local
market.
Hunting parties of boys were organ
lied back in the country and prizes
awarded the ones returning with the
most game at nightfall. There was no
lack of targets; it was only question OF
ammunition. The game was purchased
by the small crossroads stores and when
a wagon load had accumulated it was
hauled to Clarence and sold to the ship
pers. The rabbits were strung on wires,
in lots of six or dozen, Grated and sent
out the same day they were purchased.
Chicago furnished the biggest market
and Clarence was pouring enough rab-
bits in there to feed whole town, when
New York began getting rabbits from
somewhere at reduced rate, and prices
In Missouri went down to three cents
apiece. The hunters of Shelby county
Immediately stacked arms and went out
of the rabbit business.
1t is noteworthy that farmers care
very little for rabbits as food, but they
are perfectly willing to furnish them to
their city cousins if they pay the price
of ammunition and wear on boots

Made Gifts to President.

William H. Sheppard, whose home
city is Staunton, Va, and who for the
past IA years has been a Presbyterian
missionary in the Congo Free State, pre-
scented to the president handsome rug,
coyerlet of palm fiber linen and q
unique pipe, all the articles being manu-
featured and used by the natives of cen=
trail Africa.
Mr.. Sheppard told the president that
since he went to Africa the natives have
introduced printing presses and now
print the Bible in their native language,
although prior to IA years ago the Ian
guage had not been reduced to reading
characters and the natives never even
had heard of a book.
Mr.. Sheppard is in this country on a
years leave of absence and expects to
return to Africa at the expiration of his
leave.

and will remain prisoners until the
widowed crown prince will have mar

until next June, eight months having
to elapse, according to local custom,
before the burial takes place. In the
meantime all manageable women in

WOULD TAX MoNoPoLISTs.
Wealthy Kansan Favors Enactment
Of Law Limiting One
Farm to a Man.

Topeka, kant is proposed to have
Kansas compel the owners of land IN ex-
cess of the amount necessary for live
lihood to pay an additional tax or IL
cense. Edwin Taylor, who owns more
than ], 900 acres of the richest land in the
state, is the father of the proposed leg
islation. Mr.. Taylor says he has more
land than he is entitled to; that he is a
land monopolist, and that he is willing
to divide his property with smaller hold
ers or pay an additional tax. Mr. Taylor
is one of the advanced thinkers of the
state, besides being one'of the states
wealthiest men. In speech on the SUBJ
iect before the State Horticultural So
ciety he said:
There may be a discrepancy between
my practice and my precept concerning
land / say in explanation that / have
played the land game according to the
rules in force, and l believe these rules
to be unjust and unwise. For my part,
I believe in one wife and one farm for
one man, and 1 would have the laws so
changed that Mormonism in either would
be impossible.
Monopoly is one of the words with
which the American public is impatient,
and the meanest monopoly of all is the
monopoly of land, outside of the require
ments of a home and livelihood. 1t IS
a monopoly that will not always last. we
can choose between the gradual extlnc-
ton and its going out in strife and dis
tress. If you are disposed to laugh at
my dismal prophecy bear in mind that
both the north and south either laughed
or reviled at the earlier abolitionists. l
draw no parallel between the situations;
1 merely say that wrong thing is not a
safe thing, and that land monopoly, be-
yond the reasonable limits of a home
stead or the basis of livelihood,
whether measured by the golden rule
or the good of the state, is wrong.

stitution to Russia. He has an active
ally in, the czarina, to whom he has
taken a great liking and who favors a
constitutional government, which would
free her husband from the cares which
are sarping his strength. 1t is known
that the Danish ambassador to st,
Petersburg has written the king that
the situation is one of grave danger.
and only by a miracle can either pal
ace revolution or popular uprising be
avoided.
The whole situation recalls to a re-
markable degree the situation in France
at the time of the great revolution.
Like Louis XVI, the car heartily de-
sires the welfare of his people, but,
like that unhappy king, he is too weak
to make up his mind to take sides with
either of the two struggling parties.
