George w. Crane received tele-
gram this morning from William
Goode, managing editor of the London
Standard, saying he would pass
through Topeka this afternoon at 8
O'Clock en- route to Kansas City.
Mr.. Goode was employed, with his
brother Richard, by Crane & Co. years
ago and was a wonderfully bright and
reliable young man. He was war cor
respondent for large eastern papers
during the Cuban war. He has been
wonderfully successful and as man
aging editor of the London Standard,
has reached a high point in newspaper
work.
Once, when collecting for Crane &
Co., he became disguised with the pay
ing qualities of a prominent Topeka
attorney He appeared at his Office
one morning about s o'clock, saying,
''Mr. -, did you get the looked
for money to enable you to pay this
morning." On receiving a negative
reply, he remarked, ''Well, I'll just put
my lunch basket on the desk and
watt "All right said the attorney,
and young Gcode waited patiently all
day, but came back to the Office in the
evening without the money.

COURT MARTIAL ORDERED.
In Case of Two officers of the Gunboat
Bennington.

Washington, Aug. So.-Secretary
BOnaparte today acted upon the find
ings of the court of inquiry in the case
of the Bennington explosion. He dis
approved of so much of the findings as
declare that the Bennington was ..in
an excellent state of discipline and
good and efficient condition." at the
time of the explosion and is particular
ly severe in his comment upon the
safety valves. He further says that
the court of inquiry's failure to make
any finding respecting the captain of
the ship, Lucien Young, does not meet
his approval and he therefore declares
that to clear himself Captain Young
must appear before a court martial.
Ensign Charles T. Wade, who was in
charge of the vessel, is also ordered
before a court martial.

the board of public service opened up
some glaring defects is a certainty. The
story of William Baird told to Mayor
Willard last week was corroborated by
other prisoners, the only detailed var

prisoners were chained. There will be
no more of this sort of punishment. The
fact was established that the men were
chained up for twenty-four hours at
least. The board will make it's report
tomorrow.

Literary Notes.

The newspaper man looms big and
strong In our vigorous modern life, taking
often mans part on many fields to which
duty has sent him. Not too frequently
he is pictured effectively and Justly in
fiction by a pen that has had its training
in actual newspaper work-the modern
school of the novelist. We have a fine
example of just this sort of intelligently
vivid character drawing in new story of
action, 1.-THE Fortress, by young news
paper man, VIII Lexington Comfort.
This strong, human novel appears COM
plete in the September issue of Ltppinc0tt' s
Magazine. Mr.. Comfort won his spurs in
the States, and when he left the Office of
the Pittsburgh Despatch to go to Man
churia as war correspondent he was chock-
full of energy and bristling with expert
ence. Of course he succeeded, and all
who follow the news columns will read
with fascination the spirited tale of love
and war that grew out of this young re-
porter's dash for Port Arthur. 1t breathes
the air of battle. Its descriptions of as
sault repulse, conquest, and famine are so
faithfully pictorial that they form, really,
a contribution to the inner history of the
Russo-J Japanese struggle. The peculiar
romance of the novel centres in the fact
that three of the four leading characters
are war correspondents a daring,
piucky, loving little woman who does
precisely and completely just what a
wholesome and determined American girl
would be expected to do-not only pene-
trates to Port Arthur and makes a great
news :beat," but scoops" several desira-
BILE hearts into the bargain 1t is re-
freshing thing to notice that the power of
the newspaper press to mould sterling and
sturdy character. aggressive and persever-
ing manhood and womanhood, is so i'm
pressively drawn in this lively novel
THE Fortress" Lippinc0tt's Magazine
has presented in this September issue d
work of fiction worth of wide reading 1t
is sure to create comment.

The Prudential Secures Some Brit
ish Territory.


ish Territory.
The Prudential Insurance Company of
America, well known for its world famed
trade mark, 1.-The Prudential has the
strength of Gibraltar, " has Just received,
at its home office in Newark, great slice
of the rock from the famous English for
tress on the Mediterranean.
By arrangement with the American con
sui at Gibraltar, r L Sprague, this rock
was quarried from the parent rock and
forwarded to America on the North Ger
man Lloyd steamer 'Koenig Albert" with
certificate from the Admiralty Contractor
at Gibraltar to prove its authenticity
Photographs showing the place from which
the rock was cut out of Gibraltar have
also been received by the Prudential.
The employees of the Prudential have
a feeling of sentiment for the Rock of
Gibraltar, the use of which as a trade
mark they feel has been largely instru-
mental in bringing about, through good
advertising, increased popularity for the
Prudential, and a public appreciation of
the scope and strength of the Company,
resulting from its progressive and, at the
same time, conservative administration
The Prudential selected Gibraltar as its
trademark because of the great and re
nowned strength of that famous fortress.
The rock which came to America is of
grayish white limestone of such an I'M
usually dense and compact mass. and Of
fering such difficulties to the stone cutter.
that the judgment of the Prudential off,
cials in selecting Gibraltar as trade mark
is well verified.
The English authorities at Gibra liar
readily gave their consent to sending the
rock to the Prudential. and the only cost
involved was that covering the shipment.
Small portions of the rock will be sent
out as souvenirs to certain of the Com
pany's employees

Pennsylvania Railroad Maintains
SRhadnla


New York Tribune, August 10, 1908.
During the month of July the Pennsyl-
vania Special arrived in Chicago exactly
on the minute of its schedule every day.
The eastbound Pennsylvania Special
arrived in New York on schedule time
twenty-three days. The average deten-
ton on seven days was less than ten
minutes, due entirely to conditions for
which the train crew could not be held
responsible. The greatest breach in the
schedule was on July IA, when the Special
was held up behind freight wreck, which
blocked all four tracks on the Middle
Division. entailing loss of two hours and
TWENTY-FIVE minutes in the regular arriv-
ing time at New York.
1t is difficult to find a match for this
record. 1t demonstrates that the schedule
has sufficient elasticity to take up any
ordinary detentions which may occur
between termini, and that even a faster
regular schedule NAV be made should it
be deemed wise. The fine condition of
the roadbed, the efficient motive power,
and skillful operation, all contribute to the
ease with which the Special accomplishes
its work.
