COURT BAN ON SPELLING.

Chief Justice Fuller Objects 20
"Thru" In Quotation.
The United States supreme court has
gone against the simplified spelling sys-
tenn. and the indications after the first
round are that the simplified spelling
system is leaning against the ropes.
groggy, says Washington special to
the New York Times. The supreme
court always does those things in
fine and delicate way, without any
shedding of blood or mussing up OF
scenery, SO that It sometimes takes the
victim day or two to ascertain that
he Is really down and out.
1t happened while the case Of Dial.
cour against the United States was I'M.
der consideration. Solicitor General
Hoyt was presenting the governments
side, and he was reading from brief
which was fairly studded with such
words as "dropt" and fantasy" and
"kist." Chief Justice Fuller, with
copy Of the brief in hand, followed the
reading gravely.. He read thru" and
"thruout" and "fantom" and "ixt' and
not a single expression fitted across
his face.
Presently the brief arrived at long
quotation from a decision rendered
some years ago by Justice Bradley.
The simplified word that Mr. Hoyt met
In his reading from this was thru
Hardly was the word out Of his mouth
before the chief justice stopped him.

the tone of gentle, suave inquiry which
puts experienced counsel on guard,

Mr.. Hoyt looked up, startled. he
hurriedly scanned the quotation to see
what was wrong, and his eye lighted
on the word he had just read. He
flushed and fidgeted.
Eyes, str: in all except the spelling
he blushingly replied.
"Ah-h-h-h-hv' replied the chief JUS

sorting five his in word that IL sup
posed to have only one.
The rest Of the justices grlnned, and

Mr.. Hoyt discerned the danger signal
and hurriedly jumped off the track.
Hereafter" he said, II will see to II
that nothing Of this kind occurs. While
we follow the presidents order in pre-
pairing original briefs, do not feel that
we are justified in changing the Orthog
raphy Of judicial opinions. and will
see that it does not happen again."
So ended the first round, and the
memory of Justice Bradley was pro
tected. The next round is awaited

had the following to say: If the Har-
riman- Kuhn-Loeb & Co.-Peabody in
terests in Illinois Central owned or
controlled a majority Of the stock and
wanted President Fish to go there
would be nothing to say. But the
truth of the matter is that they con-
troll less than 20 per cent of the ss5,-
100000 stock. and, in my opinion, the
attempt to block Fish's reelection Will
have a bad effect all over the country.
In my opinion 1t will also have some
effect on today's election"
No one outside of the Harriman-
Kuhn Loeb & So.-Peabody interests In
Illinois Central could be found yester-

FISH TO FIGHT ANEW.
Will Appeal to Stockholders if Har-
riman Wins.

New York, Nov. 6.-With a special
meeting of the directors Of the Illinois
Central railroad called for Wednesday
and President Stuyvesant Fish appar-
emily facing defeat for reelection at
the hands of E. H. Hartman and the
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. interests, it was
predicted by his friends and support
ers that he would keep UP his battle
for control of the road and bring the
matter before the stockholders next
October.
1t is pointed out that while the Har-
riman, .Kuhn-Loeb interests control
less than one quarter of the Illinois
Central stock the proposed action i'll
ousting President Fish will be in di-
rect opposition to the majority Of the
company's stockholders who have ex-
pressed themselves in favor of Mr..
Fish's policy.

Millionaire Claims That Grave
Contains Dummy Instead OF
Bank Defaulter
WILL DIG UP THE COFFIN
The Latter is Supposed to Contain tho
Remains of LAHORE S. Baker, Alleged
pefauItins Cashier of Big Rapids,
Mich, Bank-senator Plat Said to
Be Involved in Scandal.

Chicago, Nov. 6.--James Donovan,
millionaire lumberman, will this week
exhume the coffin at Big Rapids, Mich,
which Is supposed to contain the re-
mains of LAHORE S. Baker, alleged de-
faulting cashier of the Northern Ma
tional bank of that city, for the avowed
purpose of showing that a wax figure
was really buried in the coffin.
Baker asserts the millionaire. who
Is after the scalp of Senator Thomas
C. Plat, Is alive and we'll, and was
last seen IN May, headed for Honolulu.
The wax figure, he alleges. was pre-
pared in New York to resemble the
press to Big Rapids for the purpose OF
deceiving those who sought the arrest
and conviction of the man who robbed
banks of 100000 and brought death
and desolation to score of homes.
Senator Plat Involved.
The thread of the narrative that Is
fastened at one end to the alleged wax
figure extends half way around the
world. 1t touches the highest official
life in Washington, jumps over into
high finance in New York and takes
with it glance into London life. The
present wife of Thomas C. Plat and
Miss Mae Wood. who alleges that she
is also the wife, come into the lime
light, both in chorus and in tragedy
roles.
After the exhumation Of the coffin
and the examination Of what Donovan
insists is "a WAKE figure, he will go to
New York for the purpose Of continue
ing fight that he had waged for
years and upon which he has spent
thousands of dollars.
The story told by Mr.. Donovan is
one of the dime novel sort that makes
fiction take 81 poor second place. He
charges that Baker, himself made the
victim OF the associations that chung
about Senator Plat, deliberately set
about the ruin Of the senator, and
wrought this ruin by introducing to
him Carrie Thompson, who is now his
wife. All the details of this story have
been given to the public in other
stories concerning the Michigan lum-
Der scandal In which the Platt inter-
ests have been attacked.
Donovan asserts that when Baker
left Michigan he came to Chicago, and.
here met Carrie Thompson while she
was member OF the chorus OF the
"Black Crook" company, and from
this acauaintanceship came the plan
to take her east and have her meet
and capture the senator. An intimate
knowledge Of the susceptibility of the
senator was possessed by the cashier,
and he unfoded his plans to his
friends without reserve.
Baker went from Chicago to New
York, where reports came that he had
died, and shortly after there came
coffin with instructions that the re-
mains should not be exposed. Even
when Bakers wife, who had left him.
desired to kiss the dead face she was
not permitted TO do so.
Donovan now asserts that the rea-
son for the refusal was that the coffin
contained only a figure IF wax.

A FAMOUS DIAMOND.
Curious Incident In tho History Of
the K0hinoor.

Curious Incident In the H1St0ry Oh
the kohlnoor.
The Kohluoor fell into the hands Of
the ruler of Lahore and on the con-
quest Of the Punjab became posses
sion Of Queen Victoria In the year
1850. The first authentic mention Of
this matchless gem Is by an eastern
monarch, who refers to "jewel valued
at one-half the daily expenses of. the
whole world" A century or two later
the Persian conqueror Of India, seeing
the diamond glitter in the turban Of
the unfortunate rajah, exclaimed, with
rough and somewhat costly humor,
"Come, let us change our turbans In
pledge Of friendship The exchange
was promptly effected. The stone fell
at last into the hands Of the British,
and pending Its delivery to the crown
Sir John Lawrence, afterward Lord
Lawrence. was made its guardian.
His biographer, Bosworth Smith. re-
lates curious incident Of Its custody.
Half unconsctously Sir John thrust it.,
wrapped up in numerous folds Of CLOTH
into his waistcoat pocket, the whole be-
ing in an Insignificant little box. He
continued the work upon which he was
engaged and thought no more Of his
precious treasure. He changed his
clothes for dinner and threw his waist
coat aside, still forgetting all about the
little box contained in 1t.
Some weeks afterward a message
came from the viceroy saying that the
queen had ordered the jewel to be I'm
mediately transmitted to her.
In moment the fact Of his careless
ness flashed across Sir John, but he
slipped away to his private room

Wherever our heaven may be;
Some day shall find you and know you.
And you shall give greeting to me!
It may be on yonder pale planet
Or past the last limits OF space,
But, oh, / shall lind you and clasp you
In long and ecatatic embrace!
Ere tho day Of our meeting billion
or cons may have to elapse.
The sun may cease blazing and crumbIe,
And you will grow weary perhaps, :.
But will not rest till I And you.
Wherever our heaven may be,
And shall be richly rewarded
When you turn to give greeting to me.
Some day is far. far in the future.
And who can b. sure that the sky
Will open for us in the morning
When the nigh. we call life" has gone
by7
And heaven, If heaven awaits US,
May reach to such heights and 80 far
That you never, ah. never can find me,
No matter how Jealous you are!
And even IL after long cons
We meet in far stretches Of space
And you swoop as tremble to clasp mo
In long and ecstatic embrace.
Why wait for such JOY or that glory,
Why lay the glad scene in the sky?
There's nobody looking at present
Why wait for the ecstasy-why?

Business on Hand.

Many people are going about with
a cheerful smile and light head as
though wholly unaware Of the fact that
the serious business of electing a con-
gresham is before them this fall.
They go to watering places, also to
buttermilking places and several other
places that might be mentioned. CIV
ing no thought to the serious business
of self government to which they must
soon attend.
Apparently, as far as they are con-
cerned. any old dub will do for con-
gresham, but the roar they put up
when congress meets and does not pass
bill to pension their mothers-in-law Is
calculated to make people a block
away think that some one Is trying
the horn of his new auto on the
natives. Eternal vigilance may be the
price Of liberty, but careful search
of their clothes would not disclose the
price.
