At one time a book of his songs was

From the negro minstrel stage
Bishop graduated into the wider field
of banking and brokerage. He bios
somed into a fullfiedged syndicate
with a New York downtown Office,
and an uptown Office which furnished
the fair sex with opportunities TO
throw away their money in wildcat
speculations without unnecessary pup
licity, and numerous branch Offices. .
II was in 1883 that Bishop first be-
came known as the bucketshop king.
That year and the following one the
rage for speculation ran so high that
women and clerks became daily OBJ
orators, lured by the tempting Illus
ion of rapidly amassing fortunes on
small margins. Bishop then had a
big bucketsEop on Broadway, where
ten shares of stock might be bought
or sold on margins as low as 50, that
sum representing 2 per cent decline
or advance.
His rooms, which he termed "open
boards Of exchange" were thronged
with clerks, women and men OF MOI
crate means. and the business grew
to vast proportions Bishop then
established similar exchanges in the
principal cities Of the country. with
local managers. but operated By wire
from main busketshop in New York.

a millionaire. Every decline Of two
or more points wiped out the margins
and swept them into bis bank az

gambling joined the army OF wrecks

speculation. Forgeries, embezzle-
ments and other crimes became fire.
quent, and finally Police inspector
Byrnes interfered and wiped out the
bucketshops- At that time the buck
etshop king escaped punishment by
flight to Florida.
In succeeding years a series of pub
lie exposures showed that Bishop hal
made books on the race tracks,
established and wrecked a bank in
Florida, had furnished a hotel on the
irstallment plan at Silver Springs,
giving as security stock Of the bank
which failed, heavily insured the fur
niture, soon after which the hotel
was burned down. and INDUCED la
other exploits more profitable and
picturesque than was the writing of
popular songs.
In 1891 he ventured back to New
York and was arrested at the in

that city, and lodged in Ludlow street
jail. Hatch, who had printing

Bishop was released on straw bail
and from his home In New jersey
snapped his fingers at his victims in
New York.
In 1885, Bishop was again found
doing business in New York. His
notoriety came in an exhaustive ex

BY the death in Philadelphia last
week of Thomas Brigham Bishop a
curiouSly picturesque and extraOrdi-
nary career extending over more than
half a century was closed. T. Brig
ham Bishop had achieved notoriety,
if net fame throughout the country,
and even the whole world as the COM
poser, of John Browns Body" Shoo
Fly, Don't Bother Me-" Pretty as a,
Picture" and more than 800 songs,
many Of which were exceedingly pop
ular generation ago. In addition 10
this he was widely known as the
bueket-shop king, and had the distinc-
ton of opening the first bucketshop
for women in New York, says the
Jacksonville Metropolis.
He was the author of innumerable
"get-rch-quick" schemes, and some
years ago was the most notable priS-
Oner in the New York Ludlow street
Jail. He founded the Palatka National
Banw in Palatka, Fla, in the early
eighties. This institution went into
liquidation after two years of exist
ence. He also started a woman's
Bank in Boston, which was a failure.
Still at the time he lived in afflaenee.
and even extravagantly with his wife,
who was Louisa Davis, an actress.
and at one time one o. the best

One of his latest exploits was TO
promote the New England Wireless
Telephone and Telegraph Company
in 1901, in opposition to the Marconi
interests. The bogus nature OF this
scheme was publicly exposed. He died
at his home in Philadelphia of loco
motor ataxia last week, at the age OF

IDAHO FOREST RESERVES.
Opinion in Washington, D. c., Is Sena.
tor Hepburn viii Fail. ~.


At the national capital the opinion
prevails that Senator Heyburn's pro
test against the establishment of eight
additional forest reserves in Idaho will
avail him little, and that the policy
Of the administration with respect to
the establishment of forest reserves
as outlined by Forest Pinchot, will be
carried out. At best, the senator can
only hope to restrict the magnitude OF
Forester Pinchot's program.
The eight reserves mentioned above
namely, the Shoshone, embracing l..
100000 acres of land; Kootenai, EN-.
bracing 5000 acres of land; the Hen.
rvs lake, covering 100000 acres of
land in the eastern portion of Ere
mont county; the Sawtooth, embracing
nearly three times as much in Boise
county; the Payette, of a million acres
in Idaho county; the Squaw creek di.
vision of the Weiser, embracing 300,.
900 acres in Washington county; the
100000 acre addition to the Yellow.
stone reserve in Bingham county, and
the proposed $50, 900 acre addition to
the Bitter Root reserve in Idaho coun-
ty, If created, will embrace about s.
900, 900 acres of land. These reserves
would pretty much include all of Sho-
shone, Boise and Idaho counties, as
well as immense strips in Fremont and
Bingham counties on the eastern
Boundary line.

THE PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
No Sea Fight as Yet-Linevitch Is All
Ready.

No Sea Fight as Yet-Linevitch Is All
Ready.
There were few important develop
ments in the far east last week, either
on. land or sea. The movements of
both Russian squadrons were shroud-
ed in mystery 1t is not yet known
whether Admiral Rojestvensky will
sail north through the straits of For
mosa and risk encounter with any JAP
anese vessels that may attempt to in
tercept him or whether he will make
for the open sea and seek to reach
Vladivostock by an outside course. The
manifest reluctance of the Japanese to
engage the enemy now that it has en-
tered Asiatic waters leaves everybody
in doubt as to what Togo's plans may
be, and it is matter of guesswork
as to whether the great battle is to be
in the near future or at some indefinite
day that is far away.
On land there are some signs of &C.
tivity, but seemingly nothing approach
ing preparation for an advance. The
vanguards of both armies are in touch
north of Tie pass and the disorgani-
cation incident to the battle of Muk-
den and the subsequent pursuit has
been corrected. General Linevitch de-
clares that he is ready to assume the
offensive and seems to be slowly feel
ing his way toward the south, but he
meets pressure at every point from the
Japanese and it is evident that he will
make no substantial forward move
ment without encountering active re-
sistance.
So far as is known, the Japanese are
making no turning movement with a
view to driving in either of the Rus
sian TANKS, but there are reiterated
reports that the Japanese are advanc-
ing along the eastern road from Korea,
the evident intention being to get in
the rear Of Vladivostock. But the
news Of these land operations is notice.
ably indefinite and the world is about
as ignorant Of them as it is of the
maneuvers of the belligerent fleets on
the sea.

present from five western cities-Salt

The scores made by the bowlers
were Unexpectedly high. There were
only 40 entries in all the events, yet
one Milwaukee record where there
were far above thousand entries re-
corded was smashed. Bernie Ryan
and H. Dittmer rolled up the splendid
score of 1881 in the two men tourna-
ment, Dittmer's scores of 225, 225 and
2O4 being especially creditable. The
Milwaukee high record in the two men
events was 1918. In the five men team
event, Andrew Pawsalek and H. G..
Tietje of Tacoma, and s. B. Kelly, H.
Dittmer and George Browne of Spo-

Anderson of st. Paul captured the in
dividual high score at the national
meet with 655, which is just one pin
more than Dittmer's record in the two
men event.

COAL Mine DISASTER
THIRTEEN MINERS KILLED BY An
Big EXPLOSION.
Four Miles West Of WiIburton, Okla.
Little Prospect Of Bodies Being
Recovered for Several Days-shaft
$50 Feet Deep and Men Were 800
Feet From Shaft.

WILBURTON. Okla, May 1.-Thir.
teen miners were entombed and prob.
ably killed by an explosion in the Mis-.
souri,, Kansas & Texas Coal company's
mine No. 10. four miles west Of here.
There is little prospect of their bodies
being recovered for several days. They

The shift left a shot hanging which
the new shift may have fired. 1t is
suggested from the force of the ex.
plosion, which could be heard for
miles around and which tore heavy
timbers aside and piled tons of dirt
into the shaft, that mad shot had
set of some dynamite which had been
stored conveniently for work in push
ing the entries. The shaft is 800 feet
deep. and it was 800 feet to the place
where the men were working. The
men were supplied with air famed
from the shaft and by means of COM
pressed air tubes. 1t is the general
opinion that the air pipe was burst
by the explosion, but air has been
steadily pumped all day with the re-
mote hope that some of the entombed
men may have escaped the force of
the explosion and the after damp.
The rescuers began work within a
few minutes after the explosion. The
condition of the timbers indicate that
It will be necessary to recase the
mine, in which event the bodies may
not be reached before Wednesday or
Thursday.
1t is the opinion of experienced min
ers that all of the men are dead.

Japan's ADVANTAGE.

The population Of Japan is about
$4,000. 000-one third that of Russia
But Japan has homogeneous popula
ton and is near the seat of war. Hell
supply of men will not fail and hel
people are prepared for immense sac
rifces. The spirit of her soldiery Is
splendid, as the fighting shows. Japan
can furnish men enough. She can place
more men at the seat Of war than
Russia can. Her main problem is the
financial one; but herein she certainly
has no more difficult problem than
that which confronts Russia. Less diff
ficult, probably.

PRESIDENT ATTENDS CHURCH
In Little School House on West
Divide, NJ

Divide.
Glenwood Springs, Col. May L.
Unique in the history Of Colorado was
the church service held at the Old
Blue schOolhouse ON the West Divide,
and attended by President Roosevelt
and his party and AN the ranchmen
and their families for miles around.
The little district school building was
not tenth part large enough to ac.
commodate the congregation. The or.
gan was moved to the platform in front
of the house. Platform seats were
provided for the president and his
party. the Rev. Horace Mann Of Rifle,
Col. who preached the sermon; the
choir and the trustees of the church
The members of the congregation
stood or sat on the ground or in their
conveyances, which were grouped
around the building.
The sermon by the Rev. Mr.. Mann
was of an unusual kind. It began with
a story, teemed with slang Of the
western flavor, and was full of advice
suited to congregation inuring itself
to the hardships of mountain life. 1t
touched upon the responsibilities of
the position of president as well as
the characteristics Of some of the men
who have occupied that position. At
ter Rev. Mr.. Mann had concluded, the
president spoke for about 10 minutes.
He expressed his well known views on
good citizenship, the morality of the
man, the patriotism and duty to the
country. He was heartily cheered
throughout his remarks. After the
services we're concluded he shook
hands with every man, woman and
child present.
The services at the schoolhouse
were begun at IL o'clock. Long before
that hour ranchmen and their families
began to assemble. Many persons
drove or rode horseback from New
castle, Rifle and other towns from Ave
to Is miles away.
The presidents party presented a
picturesque appearance as they came
up. All were on horseback, and they
we're dressed in their hunting clothes.
They had no others at the camp. Many
Of those in the congregation wore their
best. The dresses and hats Of the wo-
men were snowy and in striking con-
trast to the mud spattered tanduck,
blue jeans and other rough materials
making up the costumes of the presi-
dent and his fellow hunters.
