iaI Capacity.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Since the
arrival of John G. Leishman, the
American ambassador to Turkey, in
Constantinople several weeks ago the
State Department has had no advices
whatever from him. and it is assumed
here that the Sultan Of Turkey is still
unwilling to receive Mr.. Leishman in
his embassadorial capacity.
The elevation Of the American mis-
sion to Constantinople from a legation
to an embassy was distasteful to the
Sultan, who has taken no action to
raise the Turkish legation in Washing
ton to an embassy.

Milwaukee, Wis.--Through a mis-
take, an unknown man Wednesday
obtained the sun Of s1,121 from the
National Exchange bank and disap-
peared with the money.
The error was caused partly or
account of an unusual rush at the
o o hour. A clerk from a large
business establishment proffered a
check for s1,l21 to one of the tellers
to be cashed. While the teller was
counting the money the clerk left for
a moment to speak with a friend.
Meanwhile the teller completed his
task and handed out the cash. A
youth who meanwhile had taken the
clerks pace, accepted the money and
FASTENED away.

When Is an Old Maid?

When does a girl become an old
maid? This question, blunt and shorn
Of delicate innuendo, is figuring
In the somnolent discussion of Phila-
delphia society. One might say that
a girl becomes an old maid when she
fails to marry betimes, but that is not
the point. What Is the exact year
that ushers in spinsterhood and closes
forever the gates of youth? Of course,
this is not a matter in which man
has any word to say. No rational
wearer of trousers would tempt fate
and the scorn Of femininity by at
tempting a suggestion, for any arbi-
trary dead line would necessarily
bring down upon the luckless mascu-
line head a storm of r%eprobation. It
has been left to the women them
selves to brave the peril. And they
have placed the age at 40 years.
Under this ruling a woman is a ten,
der bud until twoscore years have
counted their gloomy litany Of days
and the hair near the scalp begins 70
whiten.

Minneapolis, Minn.-Eleven 'acict-
ments were LANDED to Judge Lochran
In the United States district court
and they covered the giving of rebates
BY certain railroads and the receiving
of the same by grain firms and indi'
yiduals. The list of corporations
against which the indictments were
returned, as given out by Assistant
District Attorneys Ewart and Diekie,
who have had charge of the cases,
were as follows:
The Great Northern Railroad Co.
four indictments and about rs counts.
Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis Il
Omaha railway, one indictment and
so counts.
Wisconsin Central railway, one In
dictment, II counts,
Minneapolis & st. Louis railway,
one indictment, 5 counts.
The indictments against the rail
roads charge the giving of rebates.
For Receiving Rebates.
Under the head of receiving rebates,
the following true bills were returned:
w. p. Devereux Co. McCall.Dinsmore
Co.. Minneapolis; Ames-Brooks Co., of
Duluth; Duluth Milling Co.

tanned in the indictments were

to the Mccall insmore Co. and for
giving rebates to the Spencer Grain
Co.

dicted who are not railroad companies

Railroad Officials Indicted.
Besides the corporations, indict.
ments were returned against eleven
individual officials of the railroads
named, buJ United States District At,
torney Houpt said he would not con,
sent to the names being given out
for publication owing to the fact that
no service had yet been obtained upon
them.
The general offense alleged in the
railroad indictments is the absorption
of grain elevation charges.
After the bunch of indictments had
been given out to the court, the jurors
were excused for the term and told
to convene again in St. Paul.
Perhaps the most surprised people
Of all were the railroads, for none
Of those interested expected indict-
ments to be brought.
