so many prominent breeders and

JACKSON NOT POOR.
The Great Statesman Had Very Many
Early Advantages.


Early Advantages.
Verify we must abandon the belief
that Andrew Jackson belonged to the
class of American youths who rode to
fame and fortune by their own efforts,
unaided by the help Of family and
friends.
Never did he taste the bitter cup Of
physical want, Of hunger and cold, OF
helpless, spirit breaking poverty.
Never was he without home and loyal
friends and sufficiency Of the COM
forts of life. Never was 1t his lot to
suffer that humiliation, that NORTH
cation, that inward bleeding wound
which the proud nature writhes under
when tl,ere is no money In the pocket,
no change Of clothing for the body, no
welcome light in any window In all
the world as the harassed day draws
b its end and the wretched night
comes On.
Poverty! Why, Andrew Jackson
never In his whole life had genuine
taste Of what the cruel word really
means.
Few men have been more greatly IN
debted to the intelligent affection Of
self sacrificing mother. Few sons Of
poor parents, have had such advan-
tages as were his lot, and few lads OF
poor parents did such scanty amount
OF manual Tabor. Compared to the
rugged, self taught youth Of Benjamin
Franklin, Roger Sherman, Abraham
Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, Sam Hous-
ton, Francis Marion and Nathaniel
Greene, the boyhood Of Andrew Jack
son almost assumes the appearance Of
having been cast upon "howery beds
Of ease" -Watson's Magazine.

BIG VESSELS ARE BURNED
 IN HARBOR AT BALTIMORE

Baltimore, June 13.-Fire at an early hour this morning destroyed the docks and piers of the Merchants and Miners Transportation company, the steamer Essex of the line and six or eight barges loaded with cotton. rosin, etc.
 The flames originated from some un- known cause aboard mud seow moored against the steamship dock and the lat ter was soon a mass of flames, aided by the infammable freight with which the building over GOO feet long was stored The fire leaped to barges freighted with cotton and rosn that were moored nearby, and these were set adrlft as quickly as possible. Some of them floated across the harbor to the south side and greatly endangered the lumber yards there. The steamer Essex of the Merchants and Miners line caught fire and soon was a mass of flames from end to end and though she, too, was set adrlft, rosin laden barge alongside 1t made 1t impos- sible to save her. The scene of the fire Is in part of the harbor backed by very extensive lumber yards, but the direction of the wind indicates that these will not be destroyed.
 At 310 a. m. the fire at the docks Is

PACKERS GUILTY OF ACCEPTING REBATES But They Cannot be Fined
 Over $20,000 BURLINGTON CASE BEGINS The Road Is Charged With Giving Re- bates on Export Shipments of Pack
 ing House Products to
 Liverpool.
BURLINGTON CASE BEGINS

Kansas City, June 12.-Armour & Co.,, Swift & Co.,, Cudahy & Co. and the Nell son, Morris Packing company were found guilty in the United States district court here today of accepting concessions from the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail- way on export shipments on packing house products.
 The case was given to the jury at 1O:4O. The verdict was returned at 11:40.
 Judge Smith McPherson of Red Oak, la. the presiding judge. stated that sen- tence would not be assessed until the case against the Burlington railway, which is charged with granting the con- sessions to the packers is concluded. The Burlingtons trial began this afternoon. The law in the present case provides for a fine only and not jail sentence.
 The statutes under which convictions were obtained provide for fines of not less than 5000, nor more than SD,0O0 for each count The indictments in the four cases contain one count each, so that none of the packing companies can be fined more than $2O,000
 Judge McPherson will not announce the fines to be imposed until some time next week.
 Before this is done counsel for the con victed corporations will prepare motions for new trials. If these are refused ap- peals will be taken to the United States circuit court of appeals.

apparently under control, but the blazing barges that have foated across the mar bor are burning fiereely and the hre- men are making heroic efforts to prevent the >hames spreading to property on that side of the harbor.
 Estimates of the loss run as high as s2O0O,0O0. The Savannah docks are said by the employees of the steamship conn pany to have been crowded to the roof with valuable merchandise. All of this' the steamer Essex. her cargo and barges before referred to, with their cargoes, are totally destroyed.
 The present indications are that the damage will not exceed $l,0o0,0O0.
 The burning hull of the Essex hoated across to the southern side of the har- bor endangering vessels In Beacham' s shipyard, especially the four-masted schooner Salisbury. Tugs and f1reboats are playing on the flames, and will ap- parently prevent the fire from communi- eating with property on shore.
 At s:45 a. m, the flames on both sides of the harbor appear to be under con- trol.
 The crew of the Essex, about forty men, are said to have been on board when the fire broke out, but 1t is inn possible to ascertain whether there were any fatalities.

BurlInqton Case Begins.

Kansas City, June 12.-The case of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad company charged with giving rebates on export shipments of packing house pro- ducts to Armour & Co.,, Swift x Co.,, Cudahy & Co.,, and the Nelson, Morris company was begun in the federal court here this afternoon. The cases which are practically identical were combined for trial purposes, Judge McPherson pre- siding.
 Both sides agreed to statement Of facts in which it was admitted that a contract existed between the Burlington company and the packers by which the freight of the latter was to be carried at a through rate of about 49 cents, Kansas City. Kan, to Liverpool and other foreign points It also was agreed that no such rate was published and filed with the in terstate commerce commission.
 Leslie Lyons, assistant district attorney, in his opening statement to the jury said a verdict of guilty would be expected.
 Judge o. M. Spencer of St. Louis, who represented the Burlington, contended In his opening statement first, that the con- tract was a valid instrument and second that there was no through rate from Kan sas City to New York, joint or published, to which the Burlington was party

MAN-HATINe HORSE
VIII Die Slow, Torturlng Death In
 Interest of Science.

From the New York American.
 "Biggsy" Is in the civil service, at tached to the Riverside hospital, on North Brother Island. He could not be removed summarily. and so the health board designed a new and unusual pun ishment for city employe. He has been sentenced to the health depart ment laboratories for use by the doc tors in the manufacture of diphtheria anti-toxin. It is not expected that he will be able to live under the ordeal for more than two years.
 Biggsy's trouble with the health board was the result of an altercation he had with his driver, David Miller about two weeks ago. Miller was scraping mud off of Biggsy's flank, and Biggsy thought he was unnecessarily rough about 1t and kicked Miller in the groin. Biggsy is so large and strong that he did not appreciate how hard he struck the driver, but the lat ter had to go to the hospital, and, as soon as he was able, he filed charges against Biggsy, and the city board yes terday announced the official verdict.
 Dr. William Park, director of the meteorological laboratory, explained to an American reporter just what Biggsy would have to undergo as a punish ment.
 "We have some diphtheria germs growing in some bouillon here at the laboratory" said Dr. Park. "These bacteria have way of committing sui eide by secreting an acid that kills them. It is this acid which is injected with hypodermic syringe into the hood of a horse. When the animal is thoroughly impregnated with it some blood is taken from his jugular vein, and that blood is the essential element of anti-toxin."
 This injection according to the phy- sician. will have to be made about every twenty-five days, otherwise the resulting anti-toxin becomes too weak to kill the diphtheria bacilli when in jected into the human system. A horse subjected to this treatment suffers the most excrusiating pain, but a big ami nal like Biggsy will stand it for two years.

FRISCO SEEKS LOAN.
The President and Secretary Shaw
 Look With Favor on the Plan.

Washington, June 12.-A delegation Of San Francisco business men, in Wash ington to enlist government aid for that stricken city, called on President Roose- welt today to present to him their pians' The delegation went from the white house to the capitol where the members dis cussed the subject with senators and rep resentatives. The city of San Franclsco has issued bonds to the amount or slf'ooo'- eco. About $40OO,OOo of these bonds have been sold. They bear 31s per cent in- terest. It is proposed by the delegation that the secfetary of the treasury accept the remaining s13.OOo0oo bonds as security for national bank deposits. This will re- lieve the situation in San Francisco ma terially The proposition appeals strongly to both the president and Secretary Shaw. It already has been considered by the president and the secretary of the treas- ury, and may be accepted.
 Another plan suggested by the delega- ton is that the government loan SoOOO,- 900 to the people of San Francisco on the security of the clearing house banks of the city, the loan to extend for ten years. Assurances are given by the dele gation that the principal and interest will be met promptly, and that the gov ernment cannot lose a dollar by the trans action. The money Is to be used In erect ing suitable shelter for homeless citizens before next winter. The money It Is suggested, would be handled by the clear ing house banks of San Francisco on just such security as they ordinarily would accept from patrons. It would be neces- sary for congress to authorize such a loan.
 The nresident indicated that he would take 1t under consideration.

Miss was giving minute instructions to her distinguished playmate in baby patoit that he pretended to understand. For two minutes His Holiness and lit tie Miss Hanna, both oblivious to the presence of a number of cardinals and Mrs. Hanna, groped about the floor, turning up the edges of rugs.
 Finally the Pope held up tiny me- dallion.
 "Oh, that's it." cried little Miss Hanna. The Pope patted her head, and, after expressing thanks, Mrs. Hanna led her venturesome little daughter away.
 Why, papa she said, in describing her experience, at the Gotham hotel on her return, "I losted my medal and went back to look after it. I told the nice old gentleman about 1t. He shook his head like he understood, and when I began to look on the floor he got down on his hands and knees and helped me. He found it first. He is a very nice man, papa, don't you think S.
