A Queer Fish

Sir Harry Johnston, the famous African
explorer who discovered the okapi and
other Heretofore unknown animals, has
just published a book on his travels in
Liberia, Illustrating 1t with pictures of
some OF the strange creatures he found
there. Among others is that of a fish
that does not confne itself 10 the water.
but that flops about in the sand and mud
and often climbs upon the branches of
trees hanging over the water. and re-
mains upon shore for considerable pc
riods. The fish is called the mud-skipper
or bommi. It's front fms are developed
into limbs resembling the fiippers OF a
seal, and its face is anything but beau
tiful. an may be seen by the portrait
which Sir Harry took of IT,
Prof. Hans Dominik, the Berlin scient-
list, recently explained how II is now pos

peculiar situation OF having two wives
one OF whom has obtained a legal sep

Is not valid.
incidentally Mrs. Gunton No. was her

While there Is always possibility that

What We Eat

Alexander Fillippini. the author OF the
International Cook Book. who made a
trip around the world 10 get the new
dishes described I'm II, recently made some
interesting observations on the hotels aad
markets OF different countries. Among
other things he said:
lin London / found marked improve
ment in the hotels and restaurants. Swiss
and French chefs are employed, but the
American cook can stu learn from the
English the trick OF cooking meats on
a spit or grill before tho patrons eyes.
"1n France and Switzerland found the
very best and freshest foundations I'm the
way of meats and vegetables. In Switz-
erland, particularly. the vegetable mar
kets are exquisite. every article dalntlly
cleansed and tied with the national colors.
These markets put 10 shame the vege-
table stands of New York. heavy with
the sweepings Of nearby halls and the
street while the vegetables themselves
are kept by night In unventilated cellars.
This destroys the SAVIOR OF fruit and veg
etables
"In Germany found many fine dishes,
but too rich for the American taste. In
Russia the fish trade Is particularly pleas
ing. and I'm many cafes large tanks are
stocked with fish. the patrons choosing

MURDERS HAVE A GREAT
FASCINATION TO READERS

Murder mysteries exert on the human
mind a fascination which cannot be sim
ply explained. To quote the London
Standard:
The successful counsel in a murder trial
and I'm this. we think, the answer 10 our
question is. perhaps, suggested-long
reaps. and in quite different spheres. the
reward OF his forensic astuteness.
1t is only necessary 10 recall that the
foundations OF Sir Edward Carke's repu-
tation were laid by his defence OF Mrs.
Bravo, and confirmed by his conduct of
the case for Mrs. Dyson; that the late
Montagu Williams became a popular hOro
on account OF the fight he made for the
lives of such scoundrels as Lefroy and
Lamson, TO recognize that there is some
thing I'm the ultimate issues OF a murder
case which holds and binds the popular
Imagination.
What that something Is, the Standard
tries to determine.
In the first place, we believe that what
appeals to every one alike is the blatant
unreason OF murder. Why should So
and SO be the victim? Why was his or
her life cut off?
The Ghost in Hamlet" expressed this
feeling when he spoke of being "cut off
even in the blossoms OF my sins, unhous-
eled. disappointed, unanefd."
1t is, in the first place. the remorseless
finality of the act. Life is gone. with all
its hopes and it's opportunities in a way
which seems to defy all effort 10 trace
the chain OF causation.
For which OF his imperfections was the
victim slain? Were these imperfectons
in his seeming blameless life? To know
the answer Is to point the finger at the
slayer. SO that II, practically, comes TO
this: That murder arouses the inductive
faculty which Is I'm every man.

Of war saying that the preparations

proceeding theoretically. Mouly Abou.
q cousin of the sultan Of Morocco. hes
visited all the tribes and has induced
them to cease their internal quarrels
and prepare to take the field In the
middle of November. A point for con-
centratiop has been chosen ON the
Wady CHR, where arms are being COL
lected. The Beniguil tribe has been
approached by emissaries from the in
surgents at Tailett, who are urging
the former to join in the movement.
No achievements of troops will be
dispatched from France to Algeria for
the present. The measures to be taken
will be confined to concentration of
military forces on the Moroccan from
tier in order to prevent incursions

Havana, Oct. 17.-Governor Magoon

revolution in the restoration of order
in Cuba. He particularly commends
the action of General Guerra in de-

towards the places throughout the

to Guanajay; a troop of the Fifteenth
cavalry was sent to Placas and the
Fifth infantry was transferred from
Caibariet to Remedies owing to floods
in Caibariet.
Reports from all parts of the island
show continuance of the quiet which

Board Of Trade.
Chicago, Oct. H.-Richard Gambrill
q board OF trade broker, was the first
witness of the day in the interstate

methods of handling grain in the West

Mr.. Gambrill declared that the rules
Of the Chicago board of trade are
clearly in restraint of trade and are
rapidly making the Chicago grain mar
ket, in the words of the witness, "a
one-horse proposition"
"A rule is posted on the Chicago
board of trade each afternoon" said
Mr.. Gambrill, (which prevents me
from going into the country and bid.
ding for grain. That, to my mind, is
detrimental to business and is in re-
straint of trade"
Samuel Finncy. another broker on

is an agreement between certain
board of trade men to bid certain
prices for grain in the country. He
named two firms which, he declared,
are party to this agreement.

CASE AGAINST STANDARD OIL
COMPANY OF OHIO NEARING
COMPLETION.
DEFENSE OFFERS LITTLE EVIDENCE
SUBMITS VERDICT OF SUPREME
COURT IN FORMER CASE IN
THAT STATE.

Findlay, o., Oct. 17.-Both the state
and the defense in the trial of the
Standard Oil company of Ohio for al
legged conspiracy against trade rested
their case within the first hour of the
trial and argument, which took the
balance of the day, was begun.
1t had been the plan of the defense
to submit evidence to the jury through
out the day, but this was changed and
the only evidence they adduced was
a certified copy of the journal of the
supreme court of the state showing
that verdict of not guilty had been
rendered in the case against the CON-
pany for contempt in not dissolving
the trust
The prosecution opened the day
with the testimony of State Oil In
spector Finley, who said that the
Standard Oil company of Ohio paid
the inspection fees for the Cleveland
refinery and SO per cent of the inspec-
ton fees for the Solar Refining COM
pany of Ohio The latter, he said, re-
fined so per cent of all the oil refined
in the state.
That the Standard had a distribut-
ing station in Findlay and that Its
only competitor in the sale of refined
oil here was the National, an indie
pendent company, was brought out by
the testimony of Local Oil Inspector
Shaffer, who was recalled to the stand
by the prosecution.
When the court adjourned for lunch
con Prosecutor David had nearly COM
pleted his argument of the case to the
Jury,

DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Ohio Law Providing Pensions for the
Blind,

Blind.
Columbus, o., Oct. 17.-By a de-
cision of the supreme court the blind
pension law, passed in 1894, is wiped
from the statute books.
The decision was given in the case
of j. T. Davies, auditor of Lucas coun-
ty, VS.. John l.. Boyle. The latter is a
blind man coming within the scope Of
the act. The auditor, believing that
the act was unconstitutional, refused
to issue to Boyle warrant for his
quarterly pension of $25. Mandamus
proceedings were brought against
Davies. The courts of Lucas county
held in favor of the blind pensioner,
sustaining the act. The supreme court
now reverses the judgment of the
circuit court. The law provides that
worthy blind residents" should be
paid $25 each quarter out of the treas
ury of the county of which they were
legal residents. The court sustains
the contention that. the act is In con-
PREVENTION of the state constitution.
