Good Joke on Firemen.

The Hiram (Ohio) fire department
has the finest assortment of girls hose
in the state, as a result of an appeal
for new equipment. The fire depart
ment has been in great need of more
rubber hose with which to fight fires
To raise funds a subscription paper
was passed among students and citi-
zens, the goods not being neglected. A
student solicitor called on the young
women of Bowler and Millen halls and
asked their assistace Next morning
he found clothes line stretched
across the street from his window
bearing some 80 pairs of women's
hose of varying sizes and colors.
On the line in big letters was this
inscription: ''The ladies of Bowler and
Millen halls take PLEASURE in contrib
uting 80 feet of hose to the support
of the Hiram fire department.
The students have now taken it up
on themselves to identify the donors
in each case, and there is consterna-
ton in the dOrmitOrles.

DYNAMITERs IN NEW YORK.
Charles Moran and Others Have Beer
Arrested.


Arrested.
Charles Moran, a member of the
bridgemen's' union, who was arrested
several weeks ago with two other un-
ion workers, charged with attempting
to dynamite the Bliss building now
being erected on East Twenty-third
street by Post & McCOrd, has made
a complete confession to Assistant
District Attorney Train. Mr.. Train
says he implicated several others and
the New York and New Jersey branch
es of the union, declaring that they
furnished the money to have not only
the Bliss building, but other buildings
destroyed and the work of cOnstruc-
ton halted, because contractors insist
upon an open shop. The district at
torney's Office has refused to divulge
the names of the walking delegates
involved.
Moran was arrested along with
Thomas Weir and John Guthrie by a
squad of central Office detectives as
they were about to place 20 pounds
of dynamite in the Bliss building and
blow it~up.
A week after they were arrested
Guthrie confessed, duplicating Moran
and Weir and the walking delegates.
The story told to Assistant District
Attorney Train was substantially the
same as that recited by Guthrie.

Can Change Officials.

In Seattle the officials of the mu-
nicipal government are elected for a
term of two years unless sooner re-
moved. The power of election is vest
ed in the voters. The plan of removal
is simple. Whenever the constituency
of an elected public official becomes
dissatisfied with his services, no mat
ter for what reason, rs per cent OF
the voters, joining in petition to that
effect, may call special election to
decide whether he shall continue in
the office or whether he shall be sue
ceeded by another candidate. When
such a petition is filed with the city
comptroller the city council must call
a special election for the purpose, and
the election must be held within 80
days from the date of filing the petit
ton.

Innocence of the Girl Is Proven-Her
Case Stirs Hartford.
Prudy Ford, who drowned herself
at Hartford, KY, because of charge
made against her that she had stolen
property and money from her room
mate, was unjustly accused. The
watch and clothing she was supposed
to have taken were found later, as
we'll as $40 that was missing with
them They were recovered by the
woman with whom she boarded and
who, it now also appears, was really
responsible for the indignity heaped
upon the young schoolgirl.
A letter of Miss Ford to her sweet
heart told the mental anguish of
which she was the victim. 1t said in
part: Il will end my life rather than
have false charge brought against
me. l am innocent, as God is my
Judge. l have been a loyal girl since
entered school and have been true
to my maker and to myself. die with
this sentiment ringing in my ears.

LONDoN's WHEAT MARKET.
Grain Trade Has Two Branches OF
Exchanges.

Exchanges.
There are two distinct branches of
the grain trade in London, and two
markets or exchanges. Mark Lane, in
Mark Lane street, originally known as
the corn market" is the market for
spot stuff" that is. grain or flour on
the spot, in vessels just arrived or in
warehouses on the docks. The tran
sactions are all of a jobblng nature
in parcels" consisting of 1000 to TO-
900 or more sacks $3.50 pounds) OF
grain.
The other market is the Baltic" j..
e., the Baltic Mercantile & Shipping
Exchange. This is "the home of float
ing cargOes," and its members buy
grains and other products in the mar
keIs of the world for shipment to Lon
don in cargo lots. The entire cargo,
however. is not necessarily all the
property of one house.
There has evolved from the Baltic
grain market, of necessity. the Corn
Trade association, which is probably
one of the most perfect working and
useful trade organizations in the
world. 1t has established uniform con-
tracts for use with the different grain
exporting countries, it fixes the stand
ard of grades, except with America and
Canada, and arbitrates all differences
between buyer and seller.
There is no future" market in Lon
don similar to the pit of the Chicago
Board of Trade, the Minneapolis Cham
Der of commerce and other American
exchanges. Both the Baltic and Mark
Lane had future markets, where hedg-
ing and speculative trading was done,
until some four or five years ago, or
until America ceased to be large ex-
porter of wheat. American wheat was
at that time the basis for trading. Now,
Argentine or plate" wheat is the
standard both in London and Liver
pool.

CURE CONSUMPTION BY COLOR.
White Clothing Recommended for the
Patient,

White Clothing Recommended for the
Patient.
The Practitioner, the favorite organ
of many medical societies in London,
has been making many experiments
which tend to show that color has a
favorable effect on consumption. The
theory is that light has a favorable
effect on sufferers from pulmonary
troubles, and that this presumably is
due to the bactericidal action of the
rays. From this it has been inferred
that the clothing of consumptives
should be of such a nature as to al
low the light to penetrate with the
least amount of interference. For this
purpose white stuffs are best, and
therefore it is contended that con-
sumptives should wear clothing of
white linen, velvet, cotton or silk
Next to white, garments of blue and
violet are to be recommended, though
they do not answer the purpose as
well as white.

Governor Curry Of Samar, Chased
by Rebels, Still Missing-Hope for

The recent fight at Magtaon. Samar.
between the constabulary and Pula-

on the part of the natives. AS result
Of the fight, 30 Pulajanes were killed
and Is of the constabulary killed and
wounded.
A dispatch received from Captain
Jones of the constabulary at Magtaon
said Governor Curry, Judge Lobinger
and Superintendent of Schools Hoover
arrived there and camped over night
near the Pulajanes. The presence of
the officials was made known to the
rebelliOus natives, and their leader an
nounced that he would surrender his
force the next day. AS a result of his
promise. the Americans returned to
the town of Magtaon. accompanied by
Colonel Aguillar, another Pulajane
chief
The next day four chiefs of the Pula-
James with over 100 men and IA guns,
appeared at Magtaon and lined up in
front of the cOnstabulary barracks. Be-
tween the barracks and the Pulajanes
stood the group of American officials.
One of the chiefs expressed wish
that his party be photographed in the
act of surrendering. and Superintend-
ent Hoover, in compliance with their
request, was adjusting his camera,
when the. Pulajanes leader blew a
whistle and gave an order to advance.
The entire party of natives then rush
ed upon the American officials, who
escaped to Magtaon river and swan to
the opposite bank. When the treach-
cry of the natives was apparent, the
constabulary Immediately opened fire
and fierce fight ensued, in which the
constabulary gained decisive victory.
The Pulajanes were chased to the
mountains, but the pursuers lost more
guns than they captured.
The American officials were later
found. with the exception of Governor
Curry. He was last seen being chased
by Pulajanes, and is now believed to
be hiding in the dense brush in that
locality.
Three hundred constabulary are now

CAR is FIRM IN SADDLE.
SIav Parsonage Declares Hope Of Re-

VOLT Is Ocd0 TOT the Present.
The Associated Press is able to give
the results of an important converse
ton with a high parsonage regarding
the situation in Russia. Neither the
name nor the position of this person
age can be indicated, but his COM
potency to speak upon the situation
can be vouched for.
The conversation, which covered a
wide range, left the distinct impress
sion that the assembling of the ma
tional parliament would bring crisis,
but not the one anticipated abroad.
The government evidently is absolute
ly convinced that an armed revolution
or general uprising such as would men
ace it's life is no longer possible, and
that the danger is not that the govern
ment will be overthrow, but that 1t
will be driven to abandon it's path of
reform.
