HE PLANNED SPREEI
New York Justice May Be
 Charged With Blackmail.
DEUEL "FADS AND FAyCIES" MENTOR
Failure by Society Leaders to Sub. scribe Brought Fefth "Roasts" Tn Town Topics - Sensation In
 HapgOod Libel Suit.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Failure by New York society leaders to subscribe for the work "Faes and Fancies" was coincident with ..roasts' in Town Top ics while Justice J. NJ. Deuel was active ly interested in both publications. This was clearly shown to the jury in the trial of Justice Deuers case of crimi- nal libel against Norman Hapgood, ed itor of Golfers Weekly.
 Justice Deuel denied that there was anything more than coincidence in the refusals to subscribe for the $1 800 book and the unpleasant paragraphs in Town Topics, but James ". Os- borne, lawyer for Hapgood, presented to the jury photographic copies of cer- tain pages of the paper for three years, and then the questions ran like this, Justice Deuel being on the stand:
 Did John Smith refuse to subscribe for Pads and Fanciesr"
 'He did"
 T ask the jury to read the paragraph about John Smith in the issue of Town Topics of such and such dates"
 And the paragraph was always there and invariably unpleasant. For John Smith" the former assistant district attorney read such names as Dr. W. Seward Webb. k. T. Wilson, Cornelius Vanderbilt and other names of society leaders of this city.
 Deuel was confronted with a letter he admitted he wrote to M E. Wooster. saying:
 T wish you would report to me ev- cry one who positively rejects the prop osition"
 Wooster is the man to whom Deuel wrote the famous letter. Point your gun at them and they'll come down. like Davy Crockett's coon." He also wrote to Wooster in short note. Get those fellows on your list, and we'll have spree"
 Letters from Colonel Mann were in troduced in the suit to show he receiv- ed 5000 shares of stock from Count Reginald Ward and that he gave or ders to "let up" on Henry T. Sloane and be mice" to the McCormicks.
 There was rumor a1oat before the Hapgood case was resumed that Jus tice Deuel contemplated resigning from the bench, but this he denies.
 Unless he takes this step many of his colleagues in legal practice believe that, upon his own statement given under oath, steps must be taken at the end of the trial now going on to bring him be- fore the appellate division of the su- preme court. which may remove him from the place which he now holds and disbar him from practice.
 Mir. Jerome and his assistants refused to be questioned in regard to so deli cate proposition in the midst of the trial in which Justice Deuel is appear ing as chief prosecuting witness.

4DoN'r FORGET MY cREwr

Captain Caste steereA as Straight at Baasset as st nrigantine sheals.
 PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1o.-Through seas of splendor and luxury and wit that must have been as hard for him to navigate as the Atlantic in . sale, Captain Mark Caste, the heroic com mander of the little fishing schooner Alberta, steered a course at the Clover clubs banquet here that landed him in the midst of added glory.
 He was there in a plain black sack suit, contrasting oddly with the white fronted elegance of the clubs wealthy and famous members and guests. He was almost lost between two giants. He is only five feet two inches, and he sat between Colonel Alexander K. Nc Clure and General Nelson A Miles.
 But the memory of his heroism last Sunday, when he brought off the pas sengers on the stranded Cherokee at Atlantic City. and more especially something he said when he was thank ing the club for beautiful diamond
 
 studded medal it gave him in recogni- ton of his brave deed, made him the biggest and most striking man in the place.
 Don't forget my crew." he said. Like Admiral Schley, he believes that there's glory enough for all.. His dinlinutive figure became impressive as he commanded his hearers, T want you all to remember them"
 The 300 guests at dinner, admirals, generals and men famous in all walks of business and professional life, cheer ed themselves hoarse at the sentiment. They started an impromtu movement to remember the crew in a substantial way. Hands went down into pockets, and before quickly appointed treas urer had got all the way around the room he had roll of nearly S400 to be divided among the six other brave sailors of the Alberta.

Many and diverse are the languages spoken at Reval. the Russian city on the Baltic where the mutineers have been so active of late. A writer tells how he once walked along the cab rank in the square of the little town and found drosky drivers who spoke as their native tongues Russian, Fin nish, German, Swedish. Lithuanian and Yfddish. And there were but ten dros- kies on the stand.

Sh principal riqueza Ia constitufan
los renos, y la cria de estos aninales

centenares de renos. Pero, hace aho-

bastante para darse el golpe fatal
con debida seguridad, y han sido
hallados vivos todav1a. Ellos son
los que han referido la dramatica es-
cena y las calamidades que la prece-
dieron.
Estos chukchis, cuyo n1mero as
Cend1a dos mil, eran conocidos Dor
los etnografos con el nombre de chuk
chis-renos, precisamente por e1 uso
que hacian de estos animales. E1
reno era para ellos el dnico animal
de tiro, de sil1a y de carga.
Con su piel Sc hacian los traies Y
contruian las cabafias, y su carne y
su leche les servia de principal ali
mento. Ademas una parte de estos
productos Ia vendian otra tribu
chukchi que vive en- la costa, dedi-
canse a la pesca de la foca y la ba-
llena, que no crfa renos.
Visitar una aldea chukchi, era CO.
nocer de un go1pe todas las utilida-
des que del reno pueden sacarse.
Dentro de las chozas de piel, muy
grandes, Sc vefan pieles de reno for
