Lucky and Unlu ky Day $

1t must not be supposed that these
attributes OF good and bad luck are
simply childish ideas which are
laughed at in much the same way as
most of us laugh at the man who
avoids passing under n ladder: they
form. In fact. a very serious element
In the life of the burmese. and this
is realized In a most practical way
when European traveller In Burmah
find that their boatmen will not stir
an oar for the whole of one day. be.
cause 1t happens to be the unlucky
day OF one of the members OF the
crew.
Among the Burmese themselves
almost every act Is performed with
due reference to the character OF Inc
day from the standpoint OF the per-
son concerned. To give single <n-
stance. no Burman would think OF
washing his head on Monday, Friday
or Saturday. for these days are de-
clared to be unlucky for that particu.
lar operation. Head-washing In Bur.
nah is a monthly event. and is seldom
undertaken more frequently because
there Is n widespread belief that It is
an operation to which the guardian
spirit who dwells In the head of each
man has very strong objections
Montreal Herald.
The Ordway new era., 1905-06-23

One OF the most characteristic SUI
pnrstitions OF the Burmese Is that
which assigns peculiar qualities to
each day In the year. which render
favorable or otherwise the chances OF
success In any undertaking according
tn the day on which II is commenced.
quite irrespective of all other consid-
erations.
The rules to be observed as to
lucky and unlucky days in Burmah are
extremely complicated. as will be
readily understood in reading the fol-
tpwing list OF Yet Yahzah or Kingly
Gays: Fridays and Mondays In April.
Saturdays and Thursdays In May,
Tuesdays in June. Sundays and We'd
nesdays in July. Fridays and Wednes-
days in August-and so on through
out the year. But the complication
only commences here, for the above
days are lucky merely for those who
were born on those days. and a man
who was born on Tuesday in June
cannot regard Wednesdays In July as
possessing any particular merit for
him.
The most unlucky days Of the year
are the Thursdays and Saturdays in
April. August and December: Wednes-
days and Fridays in May. September
and January. and so on.

VALUE OF AN IDEAL

Spirit by Commencing RooseveIt's
Efforts to Secure Railroad

(By the Associated Press.)

Buffalo, N. Y, April CIV. j.
Bryan was the guest of honor at the
annual banquet of the Liberal Club to-
night Mr.. Bryan's theme was ''The
value of an ideal' The party with the
highest ideals must triumph in the
end, Mr.. Bryan said:
Corruption in government cannot
be stopped by offering higher price
than the party in power" he said,
'but by placing against money some
thing stronger than money! con-
science. Not to a Democratic con-
science or to Republican conscience
against the onowing tide of corrup-
ton in the United States.
In an informal talk following a re-
ception at the Lafayette oHtel Mr..
Bryan said:
Believing as I do that the safety
of the public depends upon the recog-
milton of the doctrine of local self-gov-
eminent and believing that govern
ment is best, when nearest to the peo-
pie l prefer to see local railroads own
ed by the State, and trunk lines by
the Federal government.
II am glad that the President is try
ing to secure legislation aimed at rail-
road rates and discrimination, and l
have been gratified to find nearly all
the Democrats supporting him in this
effort"

Boston, Mass, April 22.-Treasured

Reid, of Newton Centre late of Com
pany G, 115th New York volunteers,
is about to return to III. M. Sledge, of
Tarboro, N. c., a little blood-stained
testament found in the fort on the

mate beneath the works of the fort
he stumbled on the testament, which
bore on it's title page the following in
scription:

years, and in 1880 attempted through

the owner.

wrote to Governor Glenn, and

the son of II. A. Sledge, owner of the

New York, April 22.-As a result
of the campaign against "Tenderloin
resorts inaugurated about a week
ago, following stabbing affray in a
Thirty-First Street Rathskeller. the
police tonight began raids in Brook

During the hours between one and
nve o'clock this morning, the period
prescribed in the excise law, not a
light was burning in any of the hun

and other similar resorts which for
years had not closed their side doors
day or night, had suspended opera

Chicago. April 22.-The employers
association refused this afternoon to
accept the proposals of the teamsters
that all questions involved in the
Montgomery Ward & Company strike
be submitted to arbitration with Judge
Tuley as arbitrator.
The proposal of the teamsters was
conveyed to the employers TROUGH
Mayor Dunno, and late this afternoon
the employers replied to the mayor
that they were, as they have been from
the first, willing to arbitrate anything
in connection with the strike of the
teamsters alone, but that they would
under no circumstances consent to ar
bitrate of the garment workers which
was over four months before the team
sters went out in sympathy.
What is believed to have been an at
tempt to blow up one of Montgomery
Ward & Company warehouses was
thwarted by heavy rainfall. Today a
small bomb or dynamite cartridge was
discovered in a pool of water in the
rear of the warehouse.
The bomb is three inches long more
than an inch in diameter and weighs
nearly half a pound. It has copper
caps on each end. Protruding from
one end of the cartridge was found
small fuse which connected directly
with the body of the bomb.

TRACING DOWN CHECKS.
Through These Connection of Pack

(By the Associated Press.

(By the Associated Press.)
Chicago, April 22.--Vice- presidents
and cashiers of four Chicago national
banks have been subpoenaed by the
Federal officials working on the "beef
trust inquiry. The subpoenas called
for the production of the accounts and
records of the Aetna Trading Com
pany, and the S. Oppenheimer & Com
pany sausage casing company. The
government officials have traced from
bank to bank and through the clearing
house checks which were numbered
and are said to bear fictitious names.
The latest move is said to be one of
the most important yet made in the
investigation and caused a stir among
the leading packers who are suspected
of having been directly connected with
the operations of the Aetna Trading
Company. 1t required more than two
weeks hard work on the part of sew
eral of the officials and National Bank
Examiner Starek to trace the checks.
many of which were discovered in
trunks recently seized by government
detectives.
1t was found that one of the most
complicated methods of bookkeeping
had been employed by the Aetna
Trading Company officials and those
of S. Oppenheimer & Company. No
names appeared on any of the books.
it is said, which indicated that the per-
sons were in any way connected with
the packing industry.
