THE WIDOWS
SECRET

There are many reasons why The
young widow queens It over the un
married girl as far as mems hearts
are concerned.
To begin with, men are all more
or less like sheep; where one goes
the others will follow. They argue
instinctiyely that a woman who has
led one man. to the altar must have
charms to lead another, and they
assiduously cultivate her as recon-
mended article.
No matter If several years have
passed since the lamented MIR.
Shook took his departure-that lit
tie Mrs. Snooks remains widow
still must be due TO the fact that she
is true TO her husbands memory;
not that she has failed to charm
other would-be benedicts.
SO while every year lessons the
maiden's chances of securing a hus-
band (and that is how the average
man would state the matter). the
passing years have little effect upon
the chances of the widow.
In addition to this sheep-lke pro-
pensity on the part of the men, the
widow has an even stronger weapon
In her knowlege of men and affairs. |
She has naturally seen more OF the |
world than the young girl, and this
breadth OF experience has wldened
her sympathies. She can enter much
more easily into mans plans,
hopes and fears. and can talk intel
igently about those subjects which

erience has taught her to meet men s

l. BIRD SONG a Blind Impulse?

j. Bird Song a Bllnd linpuIse'
Have birds an idea that their song
is melodious: that is, as we conceive
melody? Or does the singer follow
merely blind impulse when he ut
ters his song? In other words, is
the song of the bird no real song at
all. but merely akin to the bark OF
dog or the neigh of horse? These
questions are asked by F. A. Boo
ciocco in an article contributed to
the Neue Freie Presse (Vienna) L.
He says that the canary does not re-
act to real melody, while every
screeching tone moves him to song.
He says;
1T frequently happened, in fact,
that the sweet song of a girl was
unnoticed, while the grating sound
of a coffee mill would cause the
birds to sing with might and main
This experiment may be tried with
any bird. and it will be found that
the creature reacts to every harsh
sound if the sound be maintained for
a certain time. A humming tea
kettle, a creaking door, a piano,
whether played by master or mere
ly struck indiscriminately, will move |
the birds to song, and in the middle
of the night the song commences if
an unpleasant sound be made.
Let us take the thrush, a master

Bocciocco concludes that if birds

his experiments have gone, this v
usical ear does not exist. He ad- g
Its, however, that the question is e.
lie which up to the present has Il

.COMPERS PRAISES
 THE PRESIDENT Roosevelt, He Says, Has Given the Labor Movement a Big Push
 Forward BETTER LATE THAN NEVER But the Request For the Enforce ment of the Eight Hour Law
 is Pleasing.

Washington, Sept 21.-"Impetus has been given to the labor move ment in politics by President sRoose- velt's order directing the rigid en- forcement of the eight-hour law, de- clared Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor yesterday.
 We are much gratified that the president has issued the order al though we conceive 1t to be little late," said MT Gompers.
 "The original request for the en- forcement of the eight-hour law on government work was made by mo nearly three years ago. During the intervening time have repeatedly called the presidents attention to the continued violation of the law, and have cited specific instances backed up by affidavits.
 "On March 22, 1906, the presi- dent requested Frank Morrison of the American Federation of Labor, to bring to his attention specific in- stances of the violation of the law. which he would refer to MT Neil! for investigation. This was done on April 21, with the result that the order requiring the enforcement Of the law was issued yesterday.
 It certainly will encourage labor to pursue its work of organization in the campaign, which has been map ped out in the hope that larger de- gree of justice may be attained"

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION
 OF DYNAMITE Business Section of tho Town Was Wiped Out and Many People
 Were Injured NOW TAKING OUT THE DEAD Fifteen Persons Are Believed to Have Been Buried in the \
 Wreckage.

Knoxville. Tenn, Sept 21.-Fifteen persons are believed to have been killed. probably thirty injured and almost the entire business section of Jellico, Tenn, wrecked by a terrible explosion of dynamite early to-day in car in the yards of the Louis- vile & Nashville railroad.
 The explosion occurred about 100 yards north of the depot and near the center of the business section of the town. The bodies of the dead are buried in the debris at present and 1t IS impossible to estimate the extent of the fatalities or give names of the victims. One of the known dead is Thomas Atkins, aged 30. lineman employed by the East Tennessee Tel ephone company.
 Every warehouse in Jellico along the Louisville & Nashville railroad is a wreck and nearly every store in the town is in ruins.
 The entire third floor of the Car marthen Inn. large brick hotel structure, was blown off.
 It is believed that no prominent white people are included in the dead.
 A special train has been sent over the Louisville & Nashville railroad from Jellico to Williamsburg, Ky, for physicians.

CASTELLANE IS SLOW
The Counts LaSyers Are in No Hury to Bring on tho Divorce Case
 Started Some Time Ago
BILLS ARE FILING UP

Paris, Sept 21.-While no move has yet been made by the Counts lawyers. the attorneys for the count ess de Castellane evidently anticipate an attempt on his part to force a delay in the trial of the divorce case, which has been fixed for October IF, unless the creditors attachment case Is previously settled.
 The count is not unwilling to take every advantage of the desire of the countess and the Gould family to make sacrifices to avoid further no- toriety and scandal but it is still doubtful whether the price is not too high. It turns out that the bills piled up by the counts creditors are very numerous. While the exact total is not known, the amount is authoritatively described as "fabul- ous." In spite of the prenuptial set clement, the French law regards the marriage partnership as making his band and wife equally responsible for the household expenses and debts. The attachment proceedings, how ever, do not belong to this class. They are almost entirely for money bor- rowed from usurers at ruinous rates and consequently they could be leg ally resisted.

BISHOP TIERNEY IN TOWN. Visits Schools and Talks of New Hos- pital Plan With Father Slocum.

The Rev Bishop Tierney was in town this morning coming in on an early train. He first visited St ThOmas's church and later went through the parochial school with Father Crowley. From St Thomas's the bishop went to St Mary's paro- chial school and also was due to pay a visit to the new school and convent erected in the Sacred Heart parish.
 After looking over the hospital site at Union square park, Bishop Tierney and Father Slocum decided to have all the buildings now front ing on the main streets moved to the rear of the lots and commence at an early date the erection of a four story brick structure fronting 100 feet on Franklin street and running back fifty-four feet. The plans will be drawn so that the building can be added to with advantage from time to time. The work of moving the buildings will be taken hold of right of after the first of next month and the plans will be hurried along with all possible dispatch so that the con tract may be let and the work com pleted within a short time. The bishop is very much pleased with the site and thinks 1t would be difficult to secure a more desirable place for an institution of that character.

COMPANY WILL LOSE.
Reduction of Fare Will Mean Loss
 of $7O0,0OO a Year.

New Haven, Conn, Sept 21.-It is stated semi-officialy that the esti- mates made several months ago by
 officials of the New York. New Haven and Hartford railroad company on the former volume of passenger busi- ness, there would be loss of about $700,0O0 a year in gross receipts owing to the reduction then an- nounced of the passenger rate to two cents mile. To this would, on the old volume of coal business to New England points be added, by the esti- mate, loss of about $150.000 year by reduction of the coal rate or total of $S5O,00O loss by the two re- auctions.
 The reduced rate has now been in operation for several months with the two cent mile rate for passen- gers affecting now about nine-tenths of the system. The returns actually indicate that the increased volume of business due to the reduced rates has not only made good the expected loss but actually increased the gross receipts.
 By vote of the directors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad company. controlling the steam corporations street railways. were some months ago given an op- ton of exchanging them in the ratio of one bond of q. 900 for five shares of stock of the steam corporation. The option ended on July 31 last. The returns show that about $660.- 900 of the bonds have been converted into of the New York. New Haven and Hartford company's shares made conditions unfavorable to the con- version.

RUSSIAN POLICE SEIZE AUTOMOBILE Have Been Trailing the Machine FN Several Days Thinking f Be-
 longed to RcYeIudonIsts CARRIED FALSE NUMBER Occupants Heavily Armed and Failed to Properly Identify
 Themselves.

St Petersburg, Sept 21.-Accordinr to the newspapers the mysterious au- tomobile which the police have been trailing for several weeks in the be- lief that it belonged to revolutionists. has been seized near the palace of Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaievftch at Peterhof. The machine bore a false number. The- passengers were armed and could not properly identify themselves.
 This automobile was first observed at the military maneuvers at Kray- noye Selo, which the emperor attend ed. The two soldiers who attempted to detaln 1t were met with revolver shots. Last week 1t appeared in St Petersburg, re-painted, and passed re- peatedly under the windows of Prem. fer Stolypin's apartments in the win- ter palace. It again turned up at Peterhof during the funeral of Gen eral Trep0ff. The most daring ex- ploit of this machine is reported to have occurred at Tearsk0e- Selo, where the motorists are said to have crash ed through fence surrounding the Little palace and made a rapid trip through the enclosure and out again. in rehearsal for an at tempt on the life of the emperor after hiS return from the present cruise ip Finnish waters.

United States Will Probably Take a
 Hand In the Cuban Row.

Washington. Sept 21.-Advices from Havana this afternon confirm the feeling which has been enter tained here that the difiiculty be- tween the government of Cuba and the insurgents is past reconciliation. Even If the presidents emissaries should succeed in accomplishing any arrangement for the settlement of the differences in Cuba. 1t could only be temporary and that crisis must necessarily result sooner or later. Intervention therefore by the United States is likely to occur at any mo- ment.
 It is said to-day that in case of in- tervention the first aim of the United States would be to inaugurate the policy of reconcentration. but with otu the horrors attending a similar policy with General Weyler.
