A MURpERoUS WEAPON.
The Explosive Harpoon, the Whale
Hunters Chief Reliance.

The explosive harpoon, which Is
the modern whale hunters chief re-
lance, Is truly murderous weapon,
six feet in length and strong In pro-
portion. made chiefly Of malleable
iron and admirably designed for the
Staying of the immense creatures.
It's most striking feature next to the
bomb head. which Is operated by a
time fuse and explodes in the vitals
Of the whale, Is the anchor-like de-
vice that prevents the harpoon
drawing out Of the body again under
the terrific strain Of the wounded
monsters frantic efforts to free itself.
This consists of four hinged barbs,
which lie along the shaft before 1t Is
fired, but which are forced apart and
imbed themselves in the whales body
after he is hit, so that If the prize
escapes, which sometimes occurs, 1t
is only by breaking the rope.

WORK FOR YOURSELF.
Then You Will Have Chance to De.

velop Your individuality.
1t Is well known that long and con-
tinued employment in the service Of
others often cripples originality and
Individuality That resourcefulness
and ndyinventiveness which come from
perpetual stretching Of the mind to
meet emergencies orsfrom adjustment
Of means to ends Is seldom developed
to It's utmost in those who work for
others. There Is not the same COM
pelling motive to expand, to reach
out, to take risks or to plan for
oneself when the programme Is made
for him by another.
Our self made men who refused to
remain employees or subordinates,
are the backbone Of the nation. They
are the sinews Of our country's life.
They got their power as the northern
oak gets its strength. by fighting ev-
cry inch of its way up from the
acorn with storm and tempest. 1t IS
the hard schooling that the self made
man gets In his struggles to elevate
and make a place for himself in the
world that develops him..
Some employees have a pride In
working for a great institution. Their
identity with 1t pleases them. But
isn't even a small business Of your
own, which gives you freedom and
scope to develop your individuality
and to be yourself. better than being
"a perpetual clerk in a large institu-
tion, where you are merely one cog
in wheel of a vast machine?
The sense of personal responsibility
is In itself a great educator. a pow
erful schoolmaster. Sometimes young
women who have been brought up In
luxury and who have known nothing
of work when suddenly thrown upon
their own resources by the loss Of
property or compelled even to sup
port their once wealthy parents de-
velop remarkable strength and per-
sonal power. Young men, too. some
times surprise everybody when sud-
denly left to carry on their fathers
business unaided. They develop
force and power which no one
dreamed they possessed.
We never know what we can do
until we are put to the test by some
great emergency or tremendous re-
sponsibility. When we feel that we
are cut off from outside resources
and must depend absolutely upon
ourselves we can fight with all the
force of desperation.
The trouble with working for 9TH
ers is the cramping OF the individual
ity-the lack of opportunity to ex-
pand along original and progressive
lines-because fear of making a mis-
take and apprehension lest we take
too great risks are constantly ham,
pering the executive. the creative.
the original faculties.-Success.

The car was very much crowded
Corporal White, one Of the negro soldiers,
got on the car with a woman and paid his

woman sat down. He went to the rear OF
the car and sat between two negro soldiers.
The conductor came along and asked him
for his fare. He said that he had paid IL.

POPE AND CARDINALS AGREE.
Policy Of Passive Resistance In France In
dorsed by the Entire College.

Special Caots Despatch 10 TH. SUN.
ROME, Dec. 28.-THE SUN correspondent
Is In a position to affirm that the Sacred
College unanimously upholds the Pope's
French policy and that even Cardinals
hitherto credited with liberal tendencies
are now convinced that the Vatican's policy
OF passive resistance is the only means
likely to lead to a solution Of the French
crisis.
The French Government in gradually
realizing, they say, the negative results
obtained from harsh anti-religious policy,
and. powerless to crush Catholicism. is now
resorting to the expedient Of new laws.
hoping thereby to neutralise the Vatican's
firm and calm opposition.
The Pope, however, Is determined not TO
desist until direct overtures are made and
II the threatened measures are carried
out and the churches are closed all ar
rangements have been completed for the
organization OF private religious worship.
The entire Sacred College, has submitted
70 the Pope's will. Cardinals who formerly
opposed Merry del Val are now among his
stanchest friends.
When the Cardinals were received by
the Pope on Christmas eve his satisfaction
at their perfect union was great and his
alusion to the unity Of the episoopate was
intended TO convey his appreciation OF the
union among the Cardinals, which naturally
he could not openly express.
The Pope has created Mgr Montagnini,
formerly secretary to the papal nuncio at
Paris, who was recently expelled from
France, a prothonotary apostolic of the
a rst rank. IL Ia understood that this is
preliminary TO higher honors.
PARIS, Dec 2e-The religious bill was
deposited with the Senate to-day. The
Senate refused to send it to a special COM
mittee and by a vote of iSS to 80 sent II
to the standing separation committee.
The Vatican maintains that despite
Frances declared intention to ignore the
POpe's protest to the Powers regarding the
violation of the Nuncisture in Paris,
M, Pichon. French Minister OF Foreign
Affairs. verbally explained the matter to
several diplomatists in Paris, who have
telegraphed his statement to their respective
Governments.
The Vatican asserts that M Pichon
contended that Mgr. Montagnini had no
diplomatic character. and that the char
acter Of the papers sequestrdted was un-
important, all others having been removed
previously The Vatican emphatically
denies that important papers we're removed
from the Nunciature before the French
Government seized the place.
The Senste's Separation Committee was
composed originally Of eighteen members,
but one of them failed to be reelected in the
last elections. Ex-Prime Minister Combes
will probably take the vacant place. The
committee will meet forthwith. NJ. Le-
comte, as reporter, will deposit the COM
mttee's decisions tomorrow AFTERNOON, en-
abling the Senate to discuss them Friday.

WILL .B4R OUT NAGLE
But Tammany Executive Committee May
Let In Williams and Ahcarn

At the regular December meeting of the
Tammany executive committee tonight at
Tsmmany Hall the members of the new
executive committee are to be named, sub
ject to the perfunctory approval of the
general committee, which will also meet
this evening.
According to some Tammany men Mr..
Murphy has about abandoned his pro-
gramme to refuse to seat in the committee
Ross ID. Williams in the Seventeenth and
James Ahesrn in the Nineteenth. Percival
Nsgle will not be admitted from the Thir-
tieth, but ii was said last night that Nagles g
right to ait would probably be referred 10 a
committee and that pending the committee s
report the committee would name some one
to represent the district. The supposition
has been that the Murphy leaders would
vote TO seat John F. Cowan at once in Nagle's 8
place. Under the new plan il il said to be
the intention to name former Assembly
man William j. Ellis TO represent the dis
trict. Ellis is Cowan's right hand man.
The intention is to run Ellis against NaRIe
at the next primaries.
Should the Murphy men attempt TO throw
out Williams and Ahearn there would be a
strong protest from some of the leaders
who stand with Maurice Featherson, but
the indications yesterday seemed to be that
the Murphy men would not attempt any
such tactics.
j. Sergeant Cram will probably be elected
chairman OF the general committee for
1907. Thomas +. McAvoy il slated for
reelection TO be chairman of the executive
committee: should Ahearn and Williams
be seated there will be four members of the
committee who are certain to oppose Murphy
In any contest. They would be Featherson
Lantry, Ahearn and Williams.

and that he considered il useless TO allow
any more judgments until Lawton could

Counsel for the legatees said that Lawton
cannot be found and il is believed he Is in

ANDY HAMILTON WINS A POINT
In y. Y. LIES Suit Against Him-Nature Of
Action May Be Changed.


Three demurrers interposed by Andrew
Hamilton, formerly the legal and legis-
latiye representative Of the New York
Life and other insurance companies, to
the suit brought against him by the New
York Life to obtain an accounting OF his
expenditure of s684, ,838 Of the company's
funds which passed through his hands.
were sustained yesterday by Justice Bschof
in the Supreme Court. Three other de-
murrers we're overruled.
The rulings Of Justice Bischof will be
appealed, and il sustained they will COM
pei the New York Lies lawyers to change
the form Of the suit from An action in equity
to one in law. The basis Of the rulings
isthat Hamilton, though acting as attorney
for the company, did not have a fduciary
relation toward the company in his handling
Of the funds which it is sought TO recover.
Hamilton demurrers raised the points
that the six causes OF action in the COM
plant were improperly joined. and that
in some instances there was no legal cause
Of action at all. The first cause OF action
dealt with Hamilton's failure to account
for SIS 600 intrlIsted 10 him as attorney
for the company to pay its taxes. Justice
Bischoff says that the bare fact that Ham
lton acted as an attorney dld not make
him the company's fiduciary agent;
In the second cause Of action, demurrer
TO which is also sustained, it was sought to
make Hamilton account for various sums,
running into several hundred Thousand
dollars for which he gave receipts. Justice
blschoh points out that such an accounting
oy agreement may be enforced where an
accounting has been refused. But there ~
nothing to show that Hamilton has failed
or refused to render an account.
The third demurrer has reference to the
company's demand for an accounting OF
certain moneys intrusted to Hamilton to
be expended for purposes unknown.
Justice Bischoff sustains this demurrer
torthe same reason as he sustains the first.
Though he overrules the demurrers to
the other three causes OF action, which are
also for money had and received, Justice
blschOf remarks that there is nothing on
which to base demands for accountings,
as the amounts claimed are exactly stated
In each case.
The decision gives leave to the company
70 amend its complaint In twenty days.
