400 YEARS OLD.
Claimed to be a Friend Of Sir Francis
Drake.

Claimed to be Friend of Sir Francis
Drake.
Just about the time that the Gala
ragos islands were discovered by the
Spanish. not quite 400 years ago, a
bright, young elephant tortoise was
born there. When mischievous his
grandfather prophesied that he would
come 10 a bad end. He died last week
in the London geological gardens.
Though, comparatively speaking, he
was q newcomer at the gardens, he
used TO give himself airs claiming to
be a personal friend of Sir Francis
Drake. When in good health he
would eat as much green food as an
average COW.
He is supposed to have died, but
owing to the sluggish habits of the
species in winter, the exact date
when sleep merged into death is I'M
certain. His assumed age. $50 years,
was painted on his shell, but he
claimed to be fifty years older.

Denver, Feb. Capitalization was
on which Governor Gooding of Idaho
asked acquisitions for Charles H,
Meyer, president; William D. Hay
wood, secretary-treasurer, of the west
ern federation of miners, and G. A
PettibOne, a former member of the ex-
ecutive committee of that organize
ton. From this it appears that the,
men were charged directly with the
murder of former Governor Steunen-
berg of Idaho, and not merely with
being accessories to the crime. ME
complaints and acquisitions charge
the accused with having discharged
the bomb by means Of which Steunen-
berg was killed at Caldwell, Idaho,
December 80 last. The specific charge
of murder was made, it is explained,
in order to forestall habeas corpus
proceedings on behalf Of the accused
men, but no attempt will be made to
prove that they were in Idaho at the
time Of the commission of the crime.
1t is alleged however, that they con-
spired with others to murder Steuen~
berg and furnished funds to carry out
the plot. Various atrociOus murders
committed during the labor troubles
in this state form a chain of crimes
with which efforts are being made to-
connect the officers of the western
federation through the confession said
to have been made by Harry Orchard
who is charged with the Steunenberg
murder.
This confession, it is asserted, dis
closed a plot to kill former Governor
Peabody of Colorado, William H. Cab
bert chief Justice of the Colorado sgR-
preme court, and John Campbell
former chief justice. Orchard is s&lG
to have confessed that wholesale Rs
sassinations were planned az the
Headquarters of the western fedora
ton of miners in Denver, chiefly by
refugees from the camps at Cripple
Creek and Telluride. It is also SatG
that Orchards confession gives tbs.

1t develops that Orchards confess

stated that bombs had been placed
in the gateways of the residences Of

tempts had been made to assassinate
former Governor Peabody. An inye5-

was made disclosed the presence VI

! The man who unearthed the bombs, @
prominent member of the national

of the alleged confession.

carpeted in green of handsome de-

John Appleton Stewart president of the New York state league of re- publican clubs, while in Washing ton, recently stated he had received reports from 560 clubs throughout the state, and that the trend is all to- ward Hughes for governor. Discuss ing the New York outlook, Mr Stew art said: During his upstate tour MT Hughes has undoubtedly made hit with both the farmers and the peo- pie of the manufacturing towns. The people are finding out that he and not Hearst stands in the state for what Mir Roosevelt stands for in the nation. He is clean cut, forceful and a splen- did campaigner. He is also gaining strength by attacking the corporation methods of Mir Hearst. Nor does he let up on Mir Hearst's deal with Tammany after fighting that organi- zation so long. He says he really believes that if Mir Hearst had stood by the Independent league and re- fused to have anything to do with the democratic nomination, he would some day have been governor of New York; because this organization would have become the democratic organiza- tion. . f.-@5

So for instance, of the twenty-one cities of 5000 inhabitants, Rockland, Me, heads the list without any saloons, but shows 3S5 arrests, and Water town, Wis, closes the list with fifty eight saloons. but only ninety-one ar- rests.
 Of the thirteen cities with 25,000 inhabitants, Quincy, Mass, heads the list with no saloons. but '31 arrests, and Hamilton, O.. with 155 saloons, but only the same number of arrests (596), closes 1t; Hoboken, N. J., has only 255 arrests. although 13S sa- looms.
 Of the twelve cities of between 30, ,O00 and 60,000 inhabitants, Port land, Me, heads the list with no H. censed saloons and 2,189 arrests, and Elizabeth, N.

 Asked for the reasons that pro- duced these astonishing effects quite contrary to popular opinion. the off, cial said that he has not particularly investigated them. but he thought that there is probably more home-tip- bling where there is want of con- venient drinking places. and that blind tigers. druggists and boot-leg- gers in prohibition localities find 1t less dangerous and more profitable to sell whiskey than beer or wine.

"Mr Roosevelt has made a great president.

Thus declared Senator Elkins. of West Virginia the other day. "The call of the people of re. public should be stronger than the will of any man." he added. Senator Elkins. who is the author of the fa- nous Elkins anti-rebate law, and who. as chairman of the senate com mittee on interstate commerce had much to do with framing the new law, thinks Bryan has hurt himself so much by championing government ownership that he may have lost the democratic nomination.
