A book that makes its appe;

A book that makes its appeal to ''lovers of noble eloquence as we'll as to those who aspire to oratorical elo- quence" will shortly be brought out by an American firm. The author, John O'Connor Power. writes from personal observation and experience in the British house of commons and on the public platform. What he has to say is intended for beginners who are willing to take pointers from speakers who have been through the mill Mir Power begins by laying stress upon the importance of voice culture and, after discussing various methods, says that the simplest and readiest method is reading aloud, not to acquire eloquence, but to secure distinct articulation, Many British speakers who have come to this coun- try with something to say carried their thoughts home unspokeu be- cause the American public would not stand for mumbling and salf swal- lowed utterance. Speakers in this country have avoided that fault in the main through indulging in the fault of simply talking when the oc- casion calls for something higher. When talk is made to do duty as 9 speech in times that call for elo- quence it is often because the speak CT shrinks from just this course of careful exercise which. MT Power recommends for beginners. Training for the platform is hard work, and not every one is gifted with the pri- mary qualifications. But it is always possible by due attention to speak impressively and send the message home. This busy age demands talks from the platform, and yet the true orator with an up to date theme and ideas seldom fails of an audience and a hearty welcome. Even on the stage long speeches are applauded if ali,e with modern thought and we'll de- livered.

DEATH !. FOLLOWS WARNING
Preacher Delivers Divine Message De
 claring Youthful Sinner Will Be Called to His Maker.

London.-An extraordinary narra- tive comes from Maesteg. colliery village in South Wales, the central figure being the Rev. Meredith Morris, curate in charge of Garth church, Maesteg. On a recent Sunday night the reverend gentleman preached to a crowded congregation, and during his discourse, which consisted of an ex- hortation to young men, his voice sud- denly rang through the building with the declaration that he was charged to deliver a solemn message that night.
 'I have" he said, "in the past crit icised adversely some who have said they have seen visions. will not do so again. I retract those censorious words. What did I know then? We have had our Easter communion and there were absentees from it. There were some who told me they would come, but looked into their eyes and saw they did not mean what they said.
 "They did not come and after wards saw some of them-seven of them-gambling under a tree, and one of them won eight shillings two pence. There was one who saw me watching. and his accusing conscience made him run away. Sin is rampant and it as- sumes many forms. Now, I have a message and I must deliver 1t; dare not keep 1t back. It is a message from God. and it is to all the young men and to all others in this church.
 q have seen in a vision seven young men and one of these seven will be called to his reckoning by his Maker. and that very shortly"
 Strange to say. on Monday after noon one of the young men to whom the curate had referred to was killed in a local colliery.

FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1906.

Recently a horse died that was valued at $20o,OO0. Men with means to gratify their taste for fine horse
 flesh will continue to pay fabulous prices for good speeders to the end of time. The horseless age will never arrive if its coming is to depend up- on the automobile or any other ma- chine supplanting the horse in the affections of mankind. The auto will give way to some other motor novel; ty, but the horse will run on forever.

A correspondent in Russia of the London Commercial Intelligence pre- diets famine this year in that coun- try. The exceptionally dry spring has greatly affected the crops, and from many provinces come reports that the peasants will be unable to set along without government help. As the manufacturing industries are also in very precarious condition, owing to continuous strikes and riots, the position of affairs does not look promising. There is a great danger of recrudescence of agrarian and oth- CT outrages.

Boy Is Sold for Junk.

Bangor. Me.-Eddie Gallagher. aged eight of saco. was sold the other day at a quarter of cent pound. It was all a joke on Solomon Solmer. a junk dealer. Some of the boys of the town wanted to raise a stake. and into Sol mer's shop they brought what ap- peared to be a bag of old rags and iron. It weighed 40 pounds. Solmer gave the boys a dime and they retired grinning. Presently there vas a strange vrigsiing inside the bag: then it moved toward the door. Soimsr overcame his terror sufficiently to un- tie the bag. whereupon out junped Eddie Gallagher. He fed. amid the lamentations of the junk dealer.

ASIA FOR THE

THIS SLOGAN TAKEN UP BY
M0NG0LIANS
Shanghai Merchant Says Spirit Of Re-
volt Is Rife and Antl-Foreign
Feeling Is Very
Bitter
By Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10.-"Asia
for Asiatics." This, says William ".
Carmichael, a Shanghai merchant, just
arrived here, is the cry that has been
taken up in China and has spread like
wildfire from province to province,
kindling everywhere the slumbering
hatred Of the Mongolian against all
foreigners The spirit of revolt is rife
in the land, young China is rising, and
in his opinion trouble Is bound to come.
The growing sentiment against the
foreign element in China, according to
Carmichael, will result in open hostil-
tiles unless the powers take hand and
show that they are prepared with
armed force to suppress the first signs
of an outbreak. He says that the only
way to gain the respect Of the Chinese
is to inspire them with a wholesome
fear of foreigners. He adds that the
few regiments stationed at Manila will
be entirely inadequate to cope with the
trouble in case it comes.
: ut is impossible" he says, "to deal
with the Chinese with diplomacy. The
only thing to do is to seize their terri
tory as Germany did in 1899, and thus
bring them to their Senses"

CONSUL DAVIDSON RESIGNS
Declines to Draw Longer on Private
Income to Support
Office
By Associated Press


WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-opposition
In congress to an improved consular
service with permanent tenure of Of
flee has caused the loss to the consul
lar service of one of its most efficient
and experienced officers by the rUslg-
nation announced with regret by the
department of state today of James w.
Davidson, consul to Antung, Man
churia, who after a service Of nine
years retires because of his inability
to longer draw on his private income
to maintain the consulate.
Mr.. Davidson in his letter Of resign
nation says that the salary at each of
the consulates he has served has been
too small to conduct In q satisfactory
way the several offices he has held, and
had he not possessed some private
income obtained from literary work it
would have been impossible for him to
continue In service this long.
Had 1t been possible to retain Mr..
Davidson by transfer to q more lucra-
tive post the department would have
done so, but the offers he has had are
so far in excess of what he would re-
ceive with the consular service that the
department has been forced to accept
his resignation.
Mr.. Davidson entered the service as
consular agent at Tamsen in 1896 and
he has served successfully as consular
agent at Shanghai, Nankin and An
tung,

TWELVE HURT IN EXPLOSIONS
Sewer and Illuminating Gases Cause
Panic in New York Ten-
ements
BY Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-Twelve per-
sons were injured, four seriously, last
night. in series of explosions of sewer
and illuminating gases. The first eX-
plosion was in the basement of No.
546 West Fiftieth street, and others
followed in quick succession for ten
minutes, shaking the houses within a
radius of four blocks starting panic
in several tenementS and blowing off
nine man hole covers in Fiftieth street
between Tenth and Eleventh avenues.
Police reserves were called out to quell
the excitement, while firemen eXtin-
guished blaze that followed the first
explosion.

who set fire to the explosive gas with
a lighted candle, while looking for a
leak in the gas pipes; Mrs. Nelson,

WILL SEEK NEW
LAND IN ARCTIC
NOVEL THEORY is ADVANCED BY
EXPLORER
Capt. E. j. Mikkesen Believes There
Is Big Archipelago, Still Un-
explored, OFF Siberian
Coast
BY Associated Press.

by Associated EreSS.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Upon the
theory that there exists in the Arctic
region an enormous archipelago as yet
unexplored, lying between the Perry
islands and Wrangel land off the ST.
berian coast, Captain E. ]. Mikkelsen,
commander of the Anglo o-American
Polar expedition, will undertake what
is said to be an entirely novel cam
paign in the history of Arctic eXpedi-
tions. Although a subject of Denmark,
Captain Mikkelsen, upon discovering
the new continent, intends to plant
there the American flag and claim ii
as a possession of the United States.
He has no intention of trying to reach
the North Pole, an undertaking which
he believes to be both impossible and
useless of attainment. Captain Mikkcl-
sen today, accompanied by the Danish
minister and Henry Edward Rood of
New York City, called upon the presi-
dent and explained to him the objects
and purposes of the expedition. Presi-
dent Roosevelt expressed his hearty
approval of the enterprise. 1t was eX-
planned that the object of Captain Mix
kelsen Is to make scientific investiga-
tions. which probably will result in
new and important additions to the
present knowledge of geology, meteor
ology, photography, astronomy and
physics. Captain Mikkelsen will have
as his companions on the expedition,
which will start from San Francisco
in May of the present year, Ernest
Leffingwell of the University of Chi
cago, who will have charge of all of
the scientific work, and Ejnar Ditlev-
sen of Copenhagen, who is both a zoolo-
gist and an artist. In it's entirety the
expedition goes under the auspices of
the Royal Geographical society and
an American magazine.

CLAIMS TREASURE TR0VE
Denver Woman Thinks She Owns a
Fortune Found In a Tree
Trunk
BY Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-A special to
the Tribune from Trent IN, N. j., says
Mrs. Julia Curry Trinke of 3O4O Gallup
avenue. Denver, has written to Gov
ernor Stokes asking his cooperation in
identifying the contents of tin box
containing a fortune. 1t was found in
a tree trunk near Lincoln park. Mrs.
Trinkle says in her letter that she read
In magazine an account of the finding
of the box by workmen who were fell
ing trees in Lincoln park.
The story, she says, described the
contents of the box as a small fortune
in money, a deed to valuable land in
New York city, a will dated December
IL, 1889, and diamonds and jewellery of
great value. Mrs. Trinkle says that if
the name of William Curry Is to be
found on any papers in the box
1t is likely that the poperty be-
longed to one of her ancestors, who
shortly before the date of the will was
stricken with brain fever and subse-
quently died from insanity, leaving no
will and no trace of large amount of
money diamonds and jewelry. Be
cause of the failure to find the deed to
the property in New York the property
has passed out of the family.
Governor Stokes will make an effort
to locate the finders of the box and OBJ
tain from them the information which
Mrs. Trinkle desires.

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-Now that the
Countess de Castellane has come to the
parting Of the ways, Newport's cottage
colony Is recalling what determined
business man Count Boni was. AS one
who knows asserts, he was most mat
ter of fact about his purpose, but If 1t
had not been for the financial aid
which Raoul Duval, a wine importer,
gave him he would have cut sorry
figure. Duval himself married a
daughter of house OF riches, Beatrice
Tobin of San Francisco, whose father
founded the Hibernia Savings society.
Naturally Newport was Count Boni' S
Mecca, and there, with the credit of
Duval behind him, he opened his cam
paign in the summer of 1894. This was
not long after Mrs. Herman Oerichs
came east. Mrs. Oerichs's sister Vir-
ginia, now Mrs. William X. Vanderbilt,
jr., was then Miss Fair, and the young
man with a title made plans to lay
siege to her heart. He got as far as
Mrs. Oelrich's door one day and no
further. He left a bunch of beautiful
La France roses behind him and later
they were seen scattered on the lawn.
1t was said then that Mrs. Oelrichs
wanted no title for her sister or any
one else in the Fair family.
Duval and Castellane were insepar-
able that summer and together they
gave one entertainment after another
which attracted attention.
1t was always Duval who paid the
bills. At one of these entertainments
Castellane came under the favorable
notice of Mrs. Paran Stevens, who put
him in touch with the Goulds and the
circumstances which eliminated in his
winning Anna Gould. AS time ran on,
Castellanes financial condition got
panicky but Duval never failed. him.
1t was he who put him up at the
Waldorf Astoria, where the count gave
his farewell bachelor dinner on the eve
of his wedding to Miss Gould.
