THE UNDELIVERED MESSAGE.
 The text of a unique little romance has just been revealed by the discov- cry of dead carrier pigeon by a prospector in the Big Pasture. To the pigeons neck was attached locket about the size of a silver dollar and inside the locket were two pictures, a little note and slips of paper containing names presumed to be thiso of whome the pictures were made. The name and address beneath the picture of the girl is Grace Bolivar, 1857 Clark Street, Chicago, while the name be- heath the picture of the young man is Clarence Hickman. The note reads as follws:
 Dear Clarence This note may never reach you who are so far away in the South, but you have neglected me so long I am heart -brooken and fear that my days on earth are few. i God knows, Clarence, I love you, and

FIRE AND THE WINDOW ROUTE

Seventy three per cent. of all the damage done ty fire to buildings other than that in which it originates is at- tributable to the window route, writes Commissioner Fitzpatrick in Insurance Engineering More than that, AS Der cent of the entire fire loss of the coun- try in normal years is traceable to lack of window protection.
 In extraordinary conhagrations the percentage increases at a frightful ratio. It is fairly established, for in- stance, that at San Francisco fire &C., tually originated at eleven different points in comparatively insignificant buildings.
 Had the windows in adjacent build ings been protected those eleven fires would have been confined to those eleven buildings; and the value of those eleven buildings was certainly not more than $10O,OOO.
 The folly of unprotected windows has therefore cost San Francisco more than 11,0OO buildings instead of the original eleven and something like $l500, 00O,000 of property and business loss! Had the windows of the big so- called tireproof buildings been protect ed, at cost of possibly S6O,00O the con- tents of those buildings would be intact to-day, and just that one item means nearly $9,0O0,O0O lost.
 Many projections have been devised and tested: many of them work well, but in most of them, particularly where anything automatic is depended upon, there is liable 10 be slipup at the wrong moment. Of course almost any thing is better than nothing. Iron or other metallic shutters are, at least. fire retardants, though they ultimately bulge and warp and twist and fre- quently yield to the persstency of fire.
 The only thing that stands pre- eminently above everything else, con- sidered from every point of view ap- pearance, centainty If protection, avail ability and everything else is wireglass. Where even the glass melts it is still held in place by the wire and bars the passage of flame.
 I know of but one case where it failed The victim made a great hulla- baloo about it and I was rather sur prised to hear his story. Upon investi- gation l did find the wireglass neatly rolled up lying on the window sill. The intelligent fellow had used wireglass but had fastened it in wood sash!
 To sum up. put me down as d staneh believer in wireglass in metallic or as bestos sash for ordinary window pro- lection, and where the danger is great double glazed sash and Wireglass

RUSSIAN PEOPLE CAN HARDLY
AWAIT ANSWERS.
ARE LOOKING FOR CARS REPLY.
President Mourometseff Has Gone to
Peterhof to Present Reply to En-
peror and His Majesty's Response
Is Awaited With Great Anxiety.

st. Petersburg, May 21.-The issue
Of the first encounter between the
monarch and the representatives Of
the people hangs for the moment in
the balance. Though the representa-
tive chamber and the council of the
empire adopted addresses in reply to
the speech from the throne, no an
swer has been given to either ad-
dress, and none is expected before
a later date. President Mouromtseff,
who had hoped to obtain an audience
with Emperor Nicholas for the pre-
sentation of the address of the lower
house received instead an invitation
to a gala birthday luncheon at Peter
hof, an official function to which no
other high functionaries have been
hidden.
There is no intimation on the court
side that this invitation is connected
with the request for an audience. The
parliamentary leaders on the other
hand consider the failure to include
the other deputies who were instruct
ed to accompany President Mouromt-
self renders it out of the question for
the president of the lower house to
discuss the address even informally
The following day is Sunday and
hence M. Mouromtseff is not likely to
be given an audience before Monday.
The Associated Press is informed
that the imperial reply, which will be
delivered through the medium of a
speech by Premier Goremykin prob
ably at the first session of the house
after President Mouromtseff has been
received at Peterhof, will, as already
predicted, be temperate and deliber-
ate, seeking to avoid occasion of rup-
ture, but on the other hand not con-
cealing the emperors view that par
l,amena in many respects has at
tempted to infringe the imperial pre-
rogative. On these points the re-
Spouse will be a calm refusal. Other
suggestions will be accepted wholly
or in part while other parts the en-
peror will regard simply as declara-
lions of the policy of parliament which
do not require imperial consideration
until presented in the regular course
of legislation.
st. Petersburg. The critical mo-
ment which will decide whether there
will be peace or war between the
crown and the people apparently ar
rived with the adoption by the lower
house of parliament of it's reply to
the speech from the throne. Presi-
dent Mourometseff has gone to Peter
hof to present the reply to the en-
peror and his majesty's response is
awaited with great anxiety.

New York, May 10. = Mayor Nc
Clellan announced at meeting of the
rapid transit commission that crush
ed by the weight of sand and water
the roofs of the rapid transit tubes
under the East river, connecting the
subway system in Manhattan with
Brooklyn, have been fiattened so
seriously at various points that they
must be rebuilt so that trains can
pass through them.
Charles M. Jacobs, chief engineer
in charge of the Pennsylvania tun-
nels under the East and North rivers;
Gustav Lendenthal and Charles Sooy
Smith, called in as experts, declare
that the present conditions in the
East river are sufficient to cause
delay of from two and one-half to
three years in the work. Reconstruc-
ton is expected to be absolutely
necessary for more than 1000 feet Of

the work already done, serious other
reflections in the grade of the tubes
which are being bored from the

TRYING TO STOP THE MILL.
ROOSEVELT OPPOSES CONGRESS
SIGNAL PENSIONS.

Washington, May 81. = President
Roosevelt has notified the chairman
of the house and senate committees
on pensions that congress should
stop the allowance of pensions by
special legislation. He stated that he
strongly disapproves of this class of
legislation and would consider 1t
very unwise and impolitic" to exer-
else the veto power. In other words,
the president wants congress to stop
grinding out pensions.
The members of the committees on
pensions of both houses do not take
kindly to this further evidence o.
White House domination. The presi.
dent has interfered to an unprece-
denied extent with legislation. There
is scarcely member of either house
or senate, who has not been victim
of presidential interference with leg
islative matters. Now the president
wants all special Legislation with
reference to pensions stopped. 1t Is
needless to say that the congression-
al pension mill will continue to grind.
If the president deems it necessary he
can exercise his constitutional prero-
gative and veto each separate bill.

BREAD DYSPEPSIA.
The Digesting Element Left Out

The Digesting Element Left Out.
Bread dyspepsia is common. 1t af-
fects the bowels because white bread is
nearly all starch, and starch is digested
in the intestines, not in the stomach
proper.
Up under the shell of the wheat berry
nature has provided curious deposit
which Is turned into diastase when it is
subjected to the saliva and to the pan
creatic juices in the human intestines.
This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn it into grape
sugar, which is the next form; but that
part Of the wheat berry makes dark
flour, and the modern miller cannot
readily sell dark flour, so natures val
liable digester is thrown out and the
human system must handle the starch
as best it can, without the help that ma
ture intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis, peri
tonitis, constipation and all sorts OF
trouble exist when we go so contrary
to natures law. The food experts thar
perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing
these facts, made use in their expert
ments of the entire wheat and barley,
including all the parts. and subjected
them to moisture and long continued
warmth, which allows time and tho
proper conditions for developing the
diastase. outside of the human body.
In this way the starchy part is trans
formed into grape-sugar in perfect
ly natural manner. without the use OF
chemicals or any outside ingredients.
The little sparkling crystals Of grape
sugar can be seen on the pieces OF
Grape-Nuts. This food therefore Is
naturally pre-digested and its use in
place of bread will quickly correct the
troubles that have been brought about
by the too free use Of starch in the
food. and that is very common in the
human race to-day.
The eeffct Of eating Grape-Nuts ten
days or two weeks and the discontin-
uance Of ordinary white bread Is very
marked. The user will gain rapidly In
strength and physical and mental
health

COPIES OF THE WAYBILLS AND
TARIFFS PUBLISHED.

Washington, May 10. President
Roosevelt transmitted to congress the
complete report of Commissioner Gar
field on the relation of the STANDARD
Oil Company to the railroads a syn
opsis of which was sent to congress
May 4. In sending the complete re-
port to the president Mr. Garfield
took occasion to answer the CON-
ments Of various railway officers and
others on the statements he had made
in his synopsis.
The report covers 500 printed
pages. In support of the various allie
cations made by him Mr.. Garfield
prints bodily in the report copies of
way bills letters of railroad officials
bearing on transactions with agents
of the Standard Oil and Independent
companies special oil tariffs of vari-
Gus railroads, bills of lading, blind
bills of lading and secret understand
ings and agreements of the several
railroad companies named with the
Standard Oil Company. In many in
stances, according to the copies of the
way bills, the rate paid by the Stan
dard Oil Company was only thirty
three and third per cent of the
amount stated in the bill.
The testimony of employees of rail-
roads is given in confirmation of the
bureaus charge that there was a con-
cealment of rates granted to the Stan
dard Oil Company. Although it is al
legged the charge of the Chicago G Al
ton railroad the general tariff officers
admitted the existence of secret
rate and the purpose was to conceal
from other railroads and not from the
shippers one of the leading freight
clerks of the Alton is quoted as testi-
flying that the secret rate was intend
ed only for the benefit of the Stand
ard Oil Company and that had any
other shipper inquired for rates he
would not have been given the low
pany. The report further shows the
establishment of true rates from
small inconsequential and in many
instances obscure points near large
shipping centers, and the filing of the
tariffs with the interstate commerce
commission as evidence that the
rates were not secret. But Mr.. Gar
field maintains that these rates were
effectively secret because any ship
per other than the Standard Oil Com
pany in applying for rates would be
given the published rates from other
places in the vicinity of the small
points which in every case were con-
siderably higher. He declares that
the railroad recognized the irregular
ity of the arrangement and that they
designated to hide the rate from all
shippers except the Standard Oil
COMPANY.
