Hotel Lacking in FeIlcitles.

Half the profound truths one hears

Pope Leo X. is credited with hav-

recompense therefor. His Holiness

empty purse.
"The true possessor Of the philoso-
piers stone" said the Pope, sis the

martial law at Whitwell, where q
miners strike has been in progress
against the Tennessee Coal, Iron and
Railroad company. A troop of cavalry

Susan Geary's Head Found.
The head of Susan Geary, who died
from a criminal operation and whose
body was dismembered and thrown

by dragging the harbor. 1t was in the
leather satchel which had belonged to
the unfortunate young woman. The

liner to the other parts of the body in

CIews In Todd Case.
After extensive police investigation,

the solution Of the mysterious death
of Margareta Todd, the wealthy New
York widow, who apparently had been
run over by train near Philadelphia.

persons interested in the disposal Of
her estate.
New Land Fraud Confession.
Attorney Frank Lambert, who was

on the charge of subornation Of per-
jury in connection with extensive land
frauds, made a complete confession
his action as a go-between
for the cattlemen and old soldiers for
the purpose of securing the homestead
and entries of the latter. He says he
received $50 for each filing procured
and that the soldiers took the lands
with the understanding that they were
to be relinquished to the cattlemen. In

restraining Vandiver from carrying out
his expulsion plan.
Insurance For Poor Men High.
The New York insurance committee
resumed it's sessions Nov. s with an
examination of President Hegeman Of
the Metropolitan and Actuary McClin~
took of the Mutual. 1t was shown that,
industrial policies for men of small
means was charged at much higher
rate than those with regular annual
premiums The profits from this bust
ness has built up an enormous surplus,
as half of these industrial policies
elapse within year, the insured get
ting nothing. Mr.. Hegeman defends
this on the theory that the poor man
has to pay more for everything because
he buys it in small quantities. A good
deal of the business consists in risks on
the lives of children and babies.
Spanish Rails For America.
Cable advices from Bilboa, Spain,
said that $1,000 tons of rails had been
ordered from the mills at that place
for use in construction of Califor-
nia railroad The price for the rails,

SGT ton, or 81 less than the existing
price for American rails. This Is the
first rail contract that has ever been
placed in Spain for American use.

law forbids issuing passes, and yet that

Simon Wolf of Washington, chairman
Of the civil rights board of the Ameri-
can Union of Hebrew Congregations,
said that any action by this govern
ment looking to the relief of American

tons in the hoped for establishment of
a more liberal form of government in
Russia.
