DEATH OF JAY COOKE.
Well-Known Financier Suddenly
Passes Away in Phila- We
delphia Suburb.

Philadelphia, Feb. 17.-Jay Cooke,
whose fame as a financier Is world
wide, died Thursday night at the home
of his son-in-law, Charles D. Barney,
at Ogontz, suburb of this city. Mr..
Cooke was SO years Of age.
Mr.. Cooke was known the world over
as the famous financier who, through
his financial failure in 1873, pulled the
United States down with him and caused
the great panic of that year. Mr.. Cooke
founded the firm of Jay Cooke & Co. be-
fore the civil war and it raised the money
necessary to carry on the operations of
the government in the rebellion. In one
year, during which it was the sole finan-
cial agent of the government, the house
of Jay Cooke & Co. transacted bust
ness of $4,000, 100000. This was in the
year in which the great 7-3O government
loans were floated. Within less than
five months of that year Jay Cooke &
Co. paid to the United States government
$S30,000,000 in gold.
After the war his firm became the
agents of the Northern Pacific railroad,
but misfortunes overlook it in 1873, and
its suspension caused the panic of that
year. In the crash the firm failed for
$4,O0O,0OO When, MIR. Cooke.closed the
doors of his banking house he was prac-
tically stripped of every dollar that he
had gained in 80 years of an extraordi-
nary career. To use his own words:
81 lost $5,O00,0O0 in one day." He went
into small Office and started life anew
as broker Before 1900 all his firms
debts had been paid and Mr.. Cooke was
again a millionaire.

Muscular Women,

Miss Estelle Wyman, Of San Franciso,
is entitled to the freedom of the city, says
the New York World of late date. An
noyed upon New York street by an obi
Gus ogling person, who must be called 4
man only for convenience and brevity,
Miss Wyman "cross-heeled" him, and
with one hand at his collar and the other
behind his back sent him sprawling In
the mud. She says she learned the trick
in the San Francisco high school, which
cannot be accused of neglecting practical
subjects of instruction. Miss Hattie
Young, the girl detective of local de-
partment store, brought to court a man
charged with shoplifting. Regretfully
she admitted that there were two Of
tenders, that she collared both, one with
each hand, but she was obliged to let one
20 in order to make sure of the other.
However, she knocked him down so that
he might have something to show for
his trip" The remaining suspect now
awaits trial. In these days it Is no longer
safe to take it for granted that a woman
will merely scream or faint when edu-
Gated muscle is required.

Washington, Feb. Inappropriate
exercises were held in the senate in &C.
ceptance of the statue of Frances E..
Willard, the distinguished temperance

Statuary hall in the national capitol

standing there are about 40 pedestals
in the hall, the statue of Miss Willard

there, and the members of her sex
showed their appreciation of the COM
pliment by turning out in large num-
bers to listen to the eulogistic ad-
dresses made in connection with the
ceremony. Addresses eulogistic of Miss
Willard were made by Senators Cul-
lom, Beverage, Dolliver and Hopkins.
On motion Of Senator Cullom the

one of the most eminent women of the
United States"-as the resolution ex-
pressed it. At the close of the cere-
mony at 4:32 p. m. the senate as a
further mark of respect to Miss Will
lard's memory adjourned.

PRESIDENT ORDERS COMMIS-
sIoNER GARFIELD TO BEGIN
INVESTIGATION.
Action Follows Adoption of Resolu-
ton by the House-Kansas' Fight
on Trusts May Result in Calling Of
Constitutional Convention.

Washington. Feb. II. - President
Roosevelt has directed James r. Gar
field, commissioner of corporations of
the department of commerce and labor,
to begin Immediately the oil investiga-
ton requested by the house of repre-
sentatives Wednesday in resolution
adopted unanimously. The investiga-
ton, by direction of the president, will
be rigid and comprehensive The pres
ident has directed letter to Commits
sioner Garfield, in which he has given
his directions and presented in outline
his views.
Action to Be Pressed.
The inquiry will be pressed as rapid
ly as possible. The scope of the in
vestigation and the time it will occupy
cannot be indicated At this time. Rep
resentative Campbell, of Kansas, the
author of the resolution adopted by the
house, had a conference with President
Roosevelt Thursday. Mr.. Campbell's
idea is that the investigation should
concern particularly the situation in
the Kansas field, but he expressed to
the president his belief that the in
quiry, once begun, would extend to the
operations of the Standard Oil COM
pany in the Beaumont field of Texas
and perhaps to other fields.
State Refinery Assured.
Topeka, Kan, Feb. 18.-Gov. Hoch
at noon Friday signed the bill passed
on Wednesday, appropriating 100000
for the erection and maintenance by
the state of an oil refinery, with ca
pacity of 1000 barrels a day. The
signing of this measure will make it
possible for Kansas to begin in earn
est the fight against the Standard Oil
company. In signing the bill, Gov.
Hoch sent lengthy message urging
the legislature to supplement the re-
finery bill with railroad legislation
which will prevent the trust from de-
feating the purpose of the act.
War on Trusts in Kansas.
Topeka, Kan, Feb. Ito success
fully fight the trusts within its borders,
a constitutional convention may be
called to broaden the powers of the
Kansas legislature. The bills striking
at trusts, particularly those dealing
with oil, have met with SO many OBJ
jections on constitutional grounds that
a sentiment in favor of a new consti-
tuition meeting the situation has
sprung up. To this end, a resolution
submitting the question of calling a
constitutional convention to a vote of
the people in 1906 has been prepared
and will, it is stated, be presented in
the senate shortly.

When the Cabinet Meets.

1t is always interesting to watch the
assembling Of a presidential cabinet
meeting. says the National Magazine.
First comes Secretary Shaw with a 81.
gantic scrapbook, which he always car
ries, well loaded with facts and data
during political campaign. Secretary
Hitchcock, prim and dlgnified, drives ur
in carriage and enters with a stately
gait. Secretary Morton saunters in with
his sack coat tightly buttoned-a type OF
an American business man. Attorney
General Moody, with both hands filed
with papers, hustles in with a smile
showing his dimple. A colored messen-
ger goes before the tall and portly form
of Secretary Taft, who carries himself
with a judicial poise. He has smile and
expression that is always expressive. 1t
is doubtful if there was quorum in the
strict parliamentary sense, but the cab
met has rules Of it's own, not affected by
even Gar Reeds textbook There is
very little state formality in cabinet
meeting, even less than when the ses-
sions were held in the white house. The
policy of having cabinet ministers go d.
rectly before the people on the stump
was more generally observed last year
than ever before, and few escaped serv-
ice. 1t is thought the practice will be
followed in the future in the case of Sec
ond-term candidates., since it brings the
executive department into closer touch
with the people than could be hoped for
through senators, congressman, or the
several campaign orators employed by
the committee.

Day in the Senate
and House.

Washington, Feb. 16.-The question
of what the policy of the government
should be with respect to the upbuilding

The APPENDICITIS Fad.

Appendicitis is q fad of the medical
profession. Genuine cases of this dis
order are rare and, If genuine, usually
could be cured by proper regime,
says Alice B. Stockham, in the Chicago
Record-H Herald. Frequently there are
cases of bilious collie, gall stones and
peritonitis, each of which would yield
to treatment for its kind, that under
latter-day medical science are called
appendicitis. If people who lived on
pork and hot bread in the old days and
took their quinine by the stroke OF
the clock escaped appendicitis, what
denominations are there in the present
day domestic sciences to produce this
frightful malady? At medical con-
vention on the Atlantic coast a cele-
brated surgeon, who has operated on
more cases of appendicitis than any
other American, made the confession
that nine-tenths of his cases were
spurious. He was supposed to be
speaking behind closed doors to the
fraternity. He was asked what he did
when he found the appendix healthy.
Il remove piece of adipose tissue and
show it to the patient and friends as
an evidence of skill and as proof OF
diagnosis" Behold the genius Of mod.
ern surgery! Blood poisoning and death
might follow, but it was fine opera.
ton! Is it not time that the COM
mon sense of the people made protest
against the fallacy of the profession
Fifty years ago the masses arose
against professional assumption and
the fashion of bleeding went out OF
existence. BY the order of doctors
fever patients were forbidden water
but by the might Of thirst rules were
broken and lives were saved, although
often the water was procured by
stealth. When man becomes his own
physician through knowledge of the
laws of mind and matter, he will cease
TO be the victim Of experimental sur
gerry, and no organ will be too insig
nificant to be preserved for it's natural
functions, even the appendix vermi-
fOrmis.

The inhabitants of THE Hub OF the

ideas of their own Importance. The
comic artists for years have reaped a
rich harvest in caricaturing the wise
Boston children. A story which is at
tributed on good authority to Henry

perfection. At recent dinner party
Mr.. James told the story Of Back
