viii Make Effort to Ransom The
Oil King.
OTHER EhGKATES WILLING TO TESTIFY
If JOHN D, ROCKEFELLER is LET
OFF FROM APPEARING
IN COURT.

NEW YORK, March 15.-All signs
point now to the conclusion that John
D. Rockefeller has not lodged process
servers for the last few months in
vain.
A new turn in the suit of the state
of Missouri against the Standard Oil
company indicates that he will not be
required to go on the stand and let
him with embarrassing questions of
the kind that H. H. Rogers refused to
answer.
A. D. Eddy. Of ST. Louis, general
western attorney for the Standard Oil
company. is on his way here for con-
ference with the company's officials.
1t is understood that he is armed with
a proposition to the effect that if H. NJ.
Tilford and w. M. Van Buren, will
agree to go on the stand and answer
all the questions the attorney general
chooses to ask, he will not insist on
dragging Rockefeller into court.
One of the conditions of this PROPOSE
ton is that H. H. Rogers must answer
all the questions he declined to ans
swer a few weeks ago.
The attorney general thinks that Til
ford and Van Buren, can be as USE
full to him as Rockefeller would be.
The price of Rockefeller's escape from
the ordeal of the witness chair is that
they must not try to block the efforts
of Missouri to get at the facts con-
corning the Standard Oil company 8
business methods in that state.
Eddy is said to be authorized to
assure Hadley before his departure
from St Louis that Rogers will no
longer dodge the questions put to him
and that he will tell all about the
Standard Oils subsidiary companies
In a dispatch from jefferson City, Mo,
Attorney General Hadley is quoted as
saying:
ut has been suggested that the wit
nesses already under subpoena in New
York could give all the information
that is desired by this state. I asked
that the lawyers fully inform me as 20
the ability of these Standard Oil Of
ficials to give me the evidence I want
ed. Mr.. Eddy has gone to New York
for the purpose of finding out about
this, and pending a report from him
no further efforts will be made to serve
subpoenas upon other officials of the
company who are wanted to testify.
But if I find that these officials are
not prepared to enlighten me as de-
sired, then every means will be used
to get into court those who are able
to do So

TERRIBLE TERRY WAS ou1cLAssED
Makes a Bad Showing Against "Bat
thing" Nelson at Philadelphia
Last Night.

PHILADELPHIA, March 15.-Fol-
lowers Of Terry McGovern, the rejuve-
mated lightweight, were disappointed at
the showing he made against BAT
Nelson in their six-round go last night
and the general opinion was that the
Dane would have won by a knockout
had the fight gone a few rounds longer.
The first three rounds were a keen
disappointment to the 5000 spectators,
the men continually clinching and
wrestling from one end Of the ring TO
to keep the men out of clinches. In
the fourth round Nelson took the ag-
gressive and landed some terrible
blows on McGovern's head and body.
McGovern, after each exchange, would
clinch and hold on for dear life. Nc
Govern went to his corner badly dis
tressed at the close of the fifth round.
Nelson made a determined effort 10
land knockout punch in the last
round, but the clinching tactics of Nc
Govern saved him from a knockout.
The fight was declared a draw, no de-
cisions being permissible in Phila-
delphia.

La Toilette demanded and finally got.
Governor Cummins demands an anti
pass law, for reaching and stringent,

and got. Governor Cummins believes
that the railroads should pay their
full share of taxes, and he is commit

Some More Parallels.
The parallel reaches further. La
Toilette was accused of wrecking his
party in Wisconsin, the identical
charge that is hurled constantly at
Governor Cummins. La Follette's in
surgent attack on men of his own par
ty made two kinds of republicans in
Wisconsin, and the whole country
knows them by the names of half
breeds and stalwarts. In Iowa it is not
enough to say one is a republican,: he
must go further and say whether he
is a progressive" or a "stand-pat-
ter" and the whole United States will
soon know them by these names.
Had the legislature voted for the pri-
mary election law, drafted in entire ac-
cordance with Cummins' wishes and
constituting the chief issue Of the ad-
ministration. this fight might have
been averted. Even If the legislature
now passes the anti-pass law. which
is unlikely, it cannot be avoided. For
Cummins still has the primary as an
issue on which he can go before the
people this summer in asking the NOM
ination for a third term in violation Of
the two-term precedent that has exist.

threw him into the limelight four years
ago and made him a national figure.

Commits Suicide.

WINNIPEG, Man., March 15.-James
committed suicide at the Leland hotel
yesterday evening by shooting himself
of James Maudsley, former lord mayor
of Liverpool Eng, and head of the
publishing company of Maudsley & Co
Of that city.
The young man had lived in Canada
for Walter o. Barkwell, a farmer at
Treherne, Man., for the past two years
ment to come to the city. He had
been drinking since his arrival here
over an approaching trial at the Por-
tage la Prairie assizes, where he was
preferred by a woman.
He received an annuity of $4,000 from
his parents and frequently came to
Winnipeg. A peculiar coincidence n
connection with the case is that he was
the bosom friend Of the late J. Clark
son, the bailiff who was murdered by
Eli Grobb, near Treherne, few
months ago. His father, mother and
sister live in Liverpool. and a pa
thetic incident was the finding in his
pockets Of a letter from his mother
the shooting, in which they implored
him to come back to England.

National Convention Was Convened
at Indianapolis.
Big STORM SAID TO Be BREWING
FEELING OF UNCERTAINTY AND
UNEAsINEss AS TO RESULT
OF CONVENTION.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 15.-
United Mine Workers of America,
which was called at the request of
President Roosevelt with a view of
further discussing the differences be-
and, if possible. to prevent a strike,
will open at Tomlinsons hall today.
President Mitchell will call the con-
vention to order and it is expected that
fully 1900 delegates will be present at
the opening session this afternoon
The delegates were elected by the To-
cal unions in the same manner as for
regular conventions. Both anthracite
and bituminOus coal miners will he
represented in the convention, which,
according to the call, has been sum-
moned together "for the purpose Of
considering the wage scale and the
transaction Of such other business as
may lawfully be brought before the
convention
Storm Is Brewing.
A storm is brewing within the or
ganization, with the Pittsburg district
as the center of the storm. 1t is con-
sidered certain that there will be
something Of a clash between PresiI
dent Dolan Of the Pittsburg district
and President Mitchell and many are
inclined to believe that this conflict
may have far reaching consequences.
No official notification was sent to the
officials of the Pittsburg district, but
notwithstanding this direct slight
President Dolan, Secretary William
Dodds and ce-President Uriah Bel
bingham of the iPttsburg district,
heading a full delegation, are here to
attend the convention. There is con-
siderable speculation concerning the
attitude which President Mitchell will
assume in regard to these delegates
from the Pittsburg district. If they
are refused admission there is sure
to be trouble, as the iPttsburg dis
trict is very powerful, and Patrick
Dolan has many friends among the
miners, not only from his own district
but also in other districts.
Feeling of Uncertainty.
At the headquarters Of the miners
there is a feeling of uncertainty and
uneasiness concerning the results If
the convention, which the delegates
make no effort to disguise. While
some of the delegates seem to be con-
fident that compromise will be reach
ed, perhaps not altogether satisfac-
tory to both sides, but sufficiently so
to prevent a general strike on April 1,
many others are not SO confident.
They fear that any compromise ac-
ceptable to the operators will be more
or less disastrous TO the interests OF
the united mine workers.
The situation in the bituminous dis
tricts is equally uncertain and the
miners are looking forward with con-
siderable apprehension to the outcome
of the meeting Of the bituminOuS coal
operators, which has been called to
meet here on the 10th of this month.

CHURCH PEW HIS BED.
Tramp Finds Rest for His Weary
Bones in House Of Worship.

The janitor of one of Portsmouth's
largest churches was given a big sur
prise Sunday morning as he stepped
into the auditorium after opening the
big front doors to allow Of the usual
airing out. He came face to face with
a strange and tough-looking man. At
first the ianitor feared a touch OF the
chills, but he finally brought himself
together and inquired of the man what
he had been doing.
The fellow said that he had been en-
joying a nights rest on the cushions
of a pew away down front. Saturday
night he was attracted to the church
by the singing of the choir during re-
hearsal. He found the door open,
walked in and sat down.
The music had that soothing effect
and the w~anderer fell asleep. He knew
nothing more until daylight. when he
awoke wondering where he was at. He
said that in all his zee he had never
found a more comfor, 2 bed.
The janitor looked about, saw that
nothing was disturbed and then al
lowed the stranger to go.-Portsmouth

$4,000 FOR A BOOK.
Early Edition of Shakespeare Brought
Fancy Price.

Nearly a quarter of a century ago
John LOveday, a w%ell-known biblio-
phile of England, announced to the
literary world that, in examining a
dark corner of his library, he found a
little brown volume hidden behind two
rows of books. He opened it, and saw
that the title of the first work i'm 1t
was a poem by James Gresham, print
ed in 1926, on a Cenci theme. At first
he thought that the book had better
be put on the fire, but on turning over
a few leaves he espied the title of the
second poem, The Passionate Pill
CRIME; or Certain Amorous Sonnets
Between Venus and Adonis," being the
third edition, published by William
Jaggard in 1912. There were also The
Mirror of Martyrs" 1901; The Kings
Prophetic; or, Weeping joy" Spen-
ser's "Britain's Ida" 1928; and John
Marston's The Scourge of Villanie,"
1898.
The value Of teh little volume, how
ever, lies in the Shakespearean poem,
and although this is of the third edi-
ton, it is believed that only one other
copy of that edition Is extant-the
specimen in the Bodleian. The second
edition is apparently lost. or the
first, two copies are known, one hav-
ing been found In a garnet at Sir
Charles Isham's house. For some time
many collectors have been angling for
this little volume, and now the book
has been sold for $1O,O 900. 1t is almost
unnecessary to add that the find has
gone to America, where the $3.50
Richard III" quarto, discovered at
Great M~issenden, went.

RUNNING SORES ON lines.
Little Girls Obstinate Case Of Eczema
Mother Says: "cutieura Rene
dies a Household Standby"

Last year, after having my llttlo
girl treated by a very prominent
physician. for an obstinate clse of
eczema, l resorted to the Cuticura
Remedies, and was so well pleased
with the almost instantaneous relief
afforded that we discarded the physi-
clans prescription and relied entirely
on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint-
ment. and Cuticura Pills. When we
commenced with the Cuticura Rene
dies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six
weeks we had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence Of
the trouble. We find that the Cuti-
ura Remedies are a valuable house
hold standby, living as we do, twelve
miles from a doctor, and where it
costs from twenty to twenty-five dol
lars to come up on the mountain.

Meat inspection In Paris.

There are in Paris three principal
abattoirs, the largest of which, La
Vilette," is in the northern quarter Of
the city; Vanguard which was
opened in 1898, and replaced the old
siaughter-house of Grenelle; and "Vil-
lejuif," where horses are slain for
food, ANY butcher may slaughter ami
mails at these abattoirs on payment of
a tax of ? francs (40 cents) a hundred
Kilograms (220 pounds on the meat
so prepared. Butchers of the more
important class and specially licensed
are permitted to sell the meat which
they have thus provided directly to
the smaller dealers who keep retail
meat stores throughout the city. In
spectors are in constant attendance
and any meat found infected with dis
ease or otherwise unfit for food is sat
urated with petroleum and condemned.
Prior to the year 1910 the butchers OF
Paris slaughtered animals in the
streets and public squares, but at that
time municipal slaughter houses
"abattoirs"-were established where
animals intended for human food are
inspected and the whole process OF
Strengthening and disposal of the meat
and offal are kept under official sur
Veillance.

Mrs. III. WITI0hf

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there Is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes a distuI b
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without n medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic,
but has a peculiar tonic effect on the fe-
male organism.
As proof of this theory we call ot-
tention to the ease of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
"For two years I suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated the entire system that ]
was unable TO attend to my daily duties. 1
felt veal and nervous, and nothing that l ate
tasted good and it caused a disturbance inmy
stomach. 1 tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed TO help me. l was adj
vised to give Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound a trial, and was happily surprised
to find that it acted like a fine tonic, and in "A
fewdays l began to enjoy and properlydigest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and in
five weeks / was a well woman. l have REQ
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsement or has such a record
of cures of female troubles, as has Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

The celebrated authoress, so highly

says on pages 1913 and 445 of her
book, Ewes Daughters; or, Common
Sense for Maid, Wife and Mother:
For the aching back-should it be
slow in recovering it's normal strength
an Allcock's Plaster is an excellent
comforter, combining the sensation of
the sustained pressure of a strong
warm hand with certain tonic quail
ties developed in the wearing. 1t
should be kept over the seat of I'M
easiness for several days-in OBJ
stinate cases, for perhaps a fortnight"
For pain in the back wear an All
cocks Plaster constantly, renewing
as it wears off. This is an invaluable
support when the weight OF the small
of the back becomes heavy and the
aching in~cessant.''

EVEN TO THE THIRD AND FOURTH
GENERATION IN THE ARMYANO NANYa

Nearly all the people Of the army
and navy have history back of them.
Their own sons are representatives
Of their distinguished slres passing
through adolescence to the same rank
and equal or higher honors. Some
times, In fact most times, they miss
1t. But enough of them attain rank
ana place to hold their families in
distinctive position, and we have pre-
scented to our social life two phases
of persistently recruited aristocracy-
the army and the navy.
1t is quite reasonable that admirals
should beget captains and that gener-
ais should be the stem upon which
colonies and majors grow; but in u
American service they bud perenni-
ally. Not i%nfrequently they give new
luster to the family tree, more often
they do not, and like limbs of a
great oak whose stock is established,
they are only branches whose source
of existence is the splendid trunk that
holds them up.
The civil war broke up many lines
that had been previously maintained,
among them the Perrys, who gave two
distinguished admirals, from Rhode
Island-Oliver Hazard Perry and his
brother, William G.. Perry, who
carried our flag with honor to Japan.
Each had sons who followed their dis
tiIguished sires into the navy. But
the family drifted into Georgia and
the civil war broke up the line, only
to be renewed again at a later period
when two more of that name appear
again on the navy list-Thomas Perry,
a captain, and another descendant,
Newman X. Perry, a junior lieuten-
ant with more assured rights as a des-
cendant of oliver Hazard Perry, of
Lake Erie.
Historic Lee Family.
The Lees, of Virginia, were even
