The Confession,

| ly Solomon Marks and his mother in
the hopes of receiving a heavy ram
som, as my father was very wealthy
man at that time. But there was
raised such a hue and cry that Marks
did not dare approach the offers of
| restoration. l was hidden away for
months. and then my father had fail
ed in business and my abductors felt
/ that the hope of reward would scarce
iy balance the fear of being brought
to Justice Therefore | was kept con-
cealed and allowed to grow up among
their evil associates in the midst of
criminals, if not in squalor and
Indebtedness.
Marks and his mother were uni
tormly kind ia me, and as | grew up,
Marks thought he saw in me means
of gain to himself, for he fancied |
had talents which might be made use

school, where | remained until | was
| fourteen, when | returned to Marks,
who had partner at this time named
Soule. No doubt they We're engaged
in nefarious undertakings, but l did
rot know anything about it until l
was sixteen. Then l was invested
| with some of the secrets of the gang
of which Marks and Soule were the
| leaders.
l do not recollect that | shranl
from their enterprises, which were

and ingenuity-not actual robberies.
| but dishonest schemes of less pro
ounced nature. Marks had an office
and organized peculiar kind of
business. He sent out letters to
bushes men informing them that on
such date their buildings would be
consumed by fire, protesting to
know through the medium of clair
voyance that such attempts were
meditated At first no notice was
taken of the communications, but
after several warnings were followed
by the predicted confagration, the
matter began to be inquired into and
the police interested themselves in
the matter. Marks was taken into
custody, but he appeared innocent of
any criminal knowledge, laying it all

tell when such fires were meditated 4;
that was all, and he was released
| Afterward a new feature was added
20 these communications. Marks pro-

Your question is a strange one,
from you to me. If she were my wife,
nothing should drag her from me-
But if she were not my wife, no hope,
nor her beauty, should allure me,
Your question has made me doubt,
and l will open my heart to you, as

that woman profoundly once. 1t was

band. I had always derived inspira-

But I did it. You can do it, if it is

BANKS AID CANDIDATES.
Advance Money for Campaign Ex
penseS to Get Deposits,

Cripple Creek, Colorado.-The COM
mittee appointed by Judge Sheafor to
examine the books and accounts of the
county treasurer, G. G. Hill, G. B. Por-
tbs and b. J. Medil, fled its report Fri
day. While finding the books and ac-
counts in excellent condition the com
mittee has caused sensation by the
following paragraph:
"The committee has arrived at the
conclusion that following the prece-
dent established by former county
treasurers, Mr. Phipps prior to his
election entered into an agreement
with the Cripple Creek State bank and
the Bank of Victor by which the banks
were to furnish money for campaign
purposes. The banks also agreed to
pay for Mr.. Phipps' official bond in
the event of his election.
"As part Of the agreement Mr..
Phipps agreed to deposit the county
money with these banks. Under this
agreement the sum of $2,150 was ad-
vanced for general campaign purposes.
Personal notes were given by Mr.
Phipps to cover this amount with the
understanding that he was not to be
held personally responsible for the pay.
ment OF them.
The interest accruing to the banks
through their redeposit of said funds
with other banks was applied to the
cancellation of these notes and the
said notes are now paid
The committee adds:
THAT in its opinion the system of
providing for campaign expenses and
official bonds of public officers out of
the interest derived from the deposit
of public funds in banks is wrong in
principle and should be made impos
sible by the enactment of a law pro.
viding that all interest accruing from
the deposit of such funds should &c
into the public treasury for the benefit
of the taXpayer"

PEACE PARLIAMENT.
Great Meeting in London Cheers Rus
sian Delegates.

London.-The fourteenth confer
ence of the 1nterparliamentary Union
was opened in the Royal gallery of the
Ialace Of Westminster Monday. Ad-
herents of international peace from all
of the parliaments of Europe, as well
as several Of those of the Western
hemisphere, We're in attendance.
There We're about 500 delegates pres
ent, the American representation being
headed by Congressman Richard Bar
tholdt, while William J. Bryan occu-
pied a seat on the platform.
Lord Weardale (Sir Philip Stan
hope) opened the congress, his pre-
liminary sentences of welcome being
specially addressed to the Russian del
egates, whereupon the delegates rose
in body and, turning toward the del
egation of the late Parliament, cheered
them to the echo.
Lord Weardale also incidentally
mentioned President Roosevelt as hay
ing been associated with them in the
work of peace.
Premier Campbell Bannerman, in re
ply, reminded his hearers that King
Edward had always been a great ad-
vocate of peace.
The premier especially greeted the
members of the Russian Parliament
present and also paid a tribute to En-
peror Nicholas, who had done so much
towards the enhancement of ideas OF
peace. 1t could, he thought, be safely
asserted that the Russian Parliament,
although dissolved, was sure to again
come into existence.
Then the premier, in a sudden eX-
cess Of enthusiasm, shouted la
Douma Est Morte. Viva La Douma'
("The Russian Parliament is dead,
long live the Russian Parliament"
The delegates rose to their feet and
a storm Of cheering continued for
couple of minutes.
Prof. Maxim Govalevsky, a member
of the lower house of the Russian Par
Lament, announced that he and his col
leagues, representing, until Sunday, the
youngest parliament in the world.

sequence Of the dissolution Of the body

new DEPARTURE.
COLLEGE OF COMMERCE AT
STATE UNIVERSITY.
FOR TEAC HING BUSINESS
University of Colorado Makes Radical
Departure in Adding Practical Com
mercial Training to Its Curriculum.


Denver.-The regents Of the Univer-
sity of Colorado have recently author
lied college of commerce as a reg
ular department of the university. The
University Of California, Chicago,
Michigan, Illinois, New York, Penn
sylvania and Wisconsin already have
such departments.
The College of Commerce OF the
University of Colorado is established
for the purpose of providing profess
sional training for the practical de-
mauds Of business. It's aims are to
prepare men Tor careers in domestic
and foreign commerce and banking, in
surance, transportation, trade and in
dustry, journalism, and in branches of
the public service, like the consular
in which knowledge of business is
essential.
Many believe that the modern bust
ness man not only needs a college edu-
cation, but course suited to his pc
culiar needs. The development of his
torical, economic and scientific studies
- iS'ShI yVul ., III
educational methods, have made pos
sible the construction of n course Of
study which is specially adapted to the
requirements of those whose lives will
be spent in the vast and complex
arena of modern industrial processes
1t is understood that the knowledge
of the technical details of any par
ticular line of business can be acquired
only by actual experience. But the
broad training given students in this
department will enable them to acquire
the routine technicalities of any cor
Germ more easily than those whose
minds are not made flexible and acute,
to assume more readily the positions
of leadership and responsibility and to
assume more readily the positions Of
leadership and responsibility and to
achieve success.
The work in the College of Com
merce is on the same plane as that of
the other undergraduate departments
of the university. The entrance re-
quirements are equally severe, and the
amount of work for the bachelors de-
gree is the same. The course is so
arranged that by a proper choice Of
electives the student will be come
eligible for the IL. B. degree by only
two years of additional study in the
law school, and for the B. S. degree
in engineering, by two or three years
of additional study in any of the en-
Gineering departments.
The course of study covers subjects
in the following departments: %
mathematics, including Investments,
accounting and insurance; CD English,
largely composition; go history, Euro
pean and American: (4) law various
practical subjects; co economics, in
Guiding history of commerce, industrial
history of the United States, money
and banking, politics, economic and
commercial geography; co. modern
languages; CD science, choice OF
work in the various departments; (S)
elective studies: 90 lectures on cur
rent events and practical topics by
prominent business men.
The College of Commerce will be
opened on September. 10th of this year.

said the visitor. The big man handed
over a match, whereupon tho other

Helen was in the habit of saying her
evening prayers at her grandmother's
knee, but as she heartily disliked 60
ing to bed, the sumomns to prayer
was not a very welcome one.
At first she contented herself with
invoking the Creators blessing upon
the immediate family, but with her
growth in wisdom she conceived the
idea of postponing her bedtime by
lengthening her prayers.
The frightening process began
with the aunts, unces and cousins,
then the intimate friends of the family
were honored and finally she extended
her petitions to include the neighbors.
One evening when she reached the
