Father Taylor's youngest grandchild
declared she saw angels in the clouds
reckoning her to come and play. One
day little friend said: You're not
the only one who sees angels.
There's a friend of mine up there,
too. See!" Little Pearl looked, and
then drawled with exasperating indif-
ference: "Oh, yes. But she isn't
much of an angel, is she, sitting on
the back doorsteps of Heaven, a-swing'
ing her feets."

Girl Horsebreaker.

Miss Winnonah Won Ohl,, a New
Jersey girl 20 years old, is making
quite a reputation as a horsebreaker.
Five years ago, a slender slip of a
girl, she went to South Dakota with
her mother, who had been sent thither
for change of climate Miss Win
nonah learned to ride bronchos out
there and on returning east she took
to training and breaking horses, in
which work she has been remarkably
successful She has never sustained
any injury while thus engaged.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch as it can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great
er strength than other makes.

Immigrants Enslaved.


The Italian immigrants and other la
borers sent to the south and west by
New York padrones are the victims of
cruel treatment and repression Is one
Of the statements made by License
Commissioner John N. Rogart in the
annual report of the work of his Of
lice, which he submitted to-day to
Mayor Mcclellan. Mr.. Bogart reported:
The Italian immigrants are too gen
orally the victims of tho padrone. 1t
is characteristic of the Italian immi-
everybody but his own countryman
and in him he puts n confidence that Is
almost incredible. The padrone has
practically instituted slave system
among his countrymen. He hires the
Immigrants by the hundred to go out
of the city to work on contracts and
obtains from the employing corpora
lion what is known as tho commissary
privileges; that is, he furnishes the
workmen with food and lodging, de-
Quoting the cost from their wages. AS
the padrone is the sole arbitrator of
the cost of these necessnries, 1t can be
imagined how much the ignorant i'm
migrant obtains as the not result of his
labor. In recent cases brought to the
attention of the commissioner of IL
censes it was shown that hundreds of
Italian immigrants who believed they
were going to Philadelphia or Pitts
burg were really landed in the swamps
of Florida and the wilds of North Car
DINA, where they were kept on rail-
road construction work under the sur
VIGILANCE of armed guards until they
became too sick to be of value, when
they were turned loose TO make their
way back to New York as best they
could"

huge estate in the Pocantico hills is
paying rs cents each fer all snakes
killed on the property. This disburse-

who is MORALLY afraid of snakes They
abound in the Buttermilli hill section
and tho oil king never sets foot on the

every dog killed on the estate, though
he had some difficulty with neighbors
on this account. His offer for the ex-

ASK FOR ORDERS.
City of Philadelphia Would Inspect
Books.


New York August Counsel represent
ing the city of Philadelphia, the Thomas
w. Evans Museum and Institute society
of that city, and the heirs of DR. Thomas
w. Evans today asked Justice Gurdrch
for an order permitting them to inspect
the books of the executors and trustees
of the estate of DR.. Thomas w. Evans.
Decision as to the order was reserved.
DR.. Evans died in Paris in 1897. leaving
an estate valued at about 100000. His
will provided that after the heirs had re-
ceived $265, 900, the residue of the estate
should be used to found a museum for
his art treasures and an institute for in
struction in dentistry in Philadelphia. The
heirs claim that after contest over the
probate of the Will, the executors agreed
TO allow them $500, 900 more than bequeath-
ed in the will. The petitioners now allege
that only 100000 of the additional $500 900
has been distributed and that the city of
Philadelphia has received no part of its
legacy.
Frederick r. Coudert. who appeared for
the heirs of Dr. Evans, said that although
the executors have received over s4,OO0,O0D
In France since 1897, they had not pro-
duced a single scrap of paper to show
what they had done with IT, either in
France or in the United States.

.STOLYPIN POLICY
TO Be CARRIED OUT
RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT BELIEVES
THAT STORM FOLLOWING DIS.
SOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT is
PASSED-MAY AFFECT LAWS.

st. Petersburg August From a
member of the cabinet the Associated
Press learns that the government re-
CARDS the storm raised by the dissolution
of parliament as passed. and that 1t in
tends Immediately to proceed TO carry
out the policy of strong-handed reform"
to which Premier Stolypn committed
himself.
The cardinal plank of the programme
is an attempt to appease the disconnected
peasants as far as possible. The govern
ments agrarian programme which will
not differ greatly from the Stchinsky
prospect will not only be promulgated.
but probably will be placed in effect as a
temporary law, the Emperor having the
right to issue temporary laws during a
recess of parliament.
In other words, it Is the intention of
the government to attempt to solve it's
most difficult problem, Irrespective Of
parliament In its own way and will have
eonugh support to make it impossible for
the next parliament to refuse its assent.
Appointments to the three vacancies of
the agriculture, commerce and
the holy synod, probably will be an
nounced tomrrow. NJ. Marin, member of
the council of the empire, who was Of
fered the last-named post, has finally re-
FUSED 1t, thus ending the hope of secur-
Ding the desired cooperation of the lower
house and upper house elements.
Prince Vassilchikoff of the famous Rus
sian family, father of the well known lit
eraturer of that name, will be probably
minister of agriculture. Another mem
der of the family was recently relieved
of the command of the guard division in

STATEMENT DENIED
SEMLOFFICIALLY
Russian Government Will Not sus-
pend Cash Payments-Was
Opinion of Writer.

st. Petersburg. August "A semi-offi-
cial statement referring to the conclusions
deduced abroad from an article in the
Rossla saying it was the intention of
the government to suspend cash payments
is published tonight. 1t says these con-
illusions are based upon gross misun-
derstandings, and that no such intention
exists.
The article says the statement does
nothing more than Indicate an issue Of
paper money as an extreme measure to
which the state may have recourse in the
event of the total arrest of the normal
financial functions of the country.
1t represents merely the personal opin-
ion of the writer. Any inference that
there is any intention to suspend cash
payments. is possible to people every
where seeking some pretext for creating
disquiet and even panic.

STATEN ENT DENIED.
Rumor of Alleged Expression Has
Been Revived.

Rio Janeiro. August IAN interview
published by La Naccion of Buenos Ayres
on July 26 when certain statements We're
attributed to Baron Rio De Branco. the
Brazilian minister of foreign affairs has
found its way to the newspapers of Latin
America and created much attention. Tho
correspondent here of La Naccion saw
the minister and attributed to him the
following: Countries which cannot gov
ern themselves and which do not possess
sufficient strength to suppress continual
revolution have no right to exist and
should give place to stronger nations"
The statement was denied officially on
August g. The matter has, however
again been brought to public notice be-
cause of a mistake in a telegram from

MAY USE BATTLEsHIP.
Controversy Arises Over Vessel to Be
Used BY President

Washington, August 7-Quite a contro-
yersy has arisen as to what ship shall be
selected to take the President to Panama
and petitions have been filed az Oyster
Bay on behalf of both the Louisiana and
Connecticut. The question of building
these ships has entered into the contro-
versy, the Louisiana having been con-
structed in private yard and the Con-
necticut by the government and friends
of the different methods of building ships
are anxious that their particular vessel
shall be selected. The Connecticut has
been fitted for a feet flagship and offers
more room than the Louisiana, but it is
not certain that she can be completed in
time to go to the isthmus in November
The matter is being considered by the
President and by the Secretary of the
Navy.
There has been a suggestion that either
the Washington or Tennessee should take
the President to the isthmus, but it now
seems probable that a battleship will be
chosen although 1t is possible that one
of the cruisers will be sent along as
consort
