LIVES ON RAINIER.
E1-YALE PROFESSOR Has 1
STRANGE RESIDENCE.
Compelled to Leave His Work, Edu-
Gator Takes Up Residence on Top
Of 1ountain-Has Visitors
from Everywhere.

Seattle. Wash.-Nestled among the
big trees far up on the slopes of Mount
Rainier lives the so-called hermit of
the Cascades" Prof. Edward Allen, for
merly an educator at Yale and known
to many scientific institutions as one
OF the most active botanists of the
Pacific coast.
Prof. Allen does not live alone, in
spite of his title of hermit" for
when he suffered sunstroke some II
years ago and his physicians decided
that he must live in the open, but not
in the sun, his wife readily agreed to
the plan of isolating themselves in
the far west, and she accompanied
him to Ashford. WASH. near which
they picked out charming break
in the forest and where they have
since made their home. There were
three sons in the family, three young
sters. They are now in the forestry
commission service and obtained their
training under their father on the
slopes of Mount Rainier.
Although their home is many miles
from the nearest habitation and the
trails leading to it are difficult to find,
they have visitors every summer, for
botanists from all over the world
make the trip to Ashford to see Prof.
Allen.
The long one-story cabin in which
they live is surrounded by about five
acres of cleared land. On it they
raise what they can toward obtaining
living. But it is by his discover
les now and then of rare and unique
specimens of plant life that Prof.
Allen lives. He sends his specimens
to the leading institutions of the
east and Europe, and in the remunera-
ton received enjoys sufficient in
come to keep their little home in COM
forts and even luxuries. for Ordi-
nary things are luxuries there. The
cabin is almost covered by vines and
flowers. Roses grow in this country
to a marvellous beauty, and are found
everywhere about the cabin. The
flower gardens. which occupy about
half an acre, would be credit to the
most efficient gardener.
1t is in such surroundings that Prof.
AlleE and his wife, now both we'll
along in years, with white hair, de-
clare they enjoy life to the fullest ex-
tent, and nothing can persuade them
to give up their home among the giant
trees. There they wish to end their

raigned In the children's court yes

youngster then went on to tell how
Stein Instructed him for weeks IN the
art of picking pockets before he sent
him out. He said he had to practise
for hours every day on Stein and his
wife, relieving them OF wallets, pocket
books. watches and jewelry until he
became so adept that he could rob
them without their knowledge. II he
did the Job IN a clumsy fashion, Stein
would beat him.

SENATOR RAYNER
ON TARIFF ABUSES.

| Baltimore, Md, Oct. 2G.-Bcfore an
audience which filed the Lyric last
| night, United States Senator Isador
| Rayner delivered what Will prove per-
haps the most important speech OF the
Democratic congressional campaign IN
this state. Senator Raynor addressed
himself chiefly to the subject of the
tariff, saying In part.
II am not revolutionist on the sub
ject Of the tariff believe In revenue
tariff, and / would not destroy or i'm
pair q single business interest IN this
country that was making legitimate
profit out OF its enterprise, but / am
an inyeterate enemy OF the colossal
combinations that are making their
own prices for the American consum-
ers and who no longer require the pro-
tectin of the government for their sup
port
THE United States Steel trust can
go to Canada, Mexico or any place
else paying the freight. and undersell
the foreign market and here IL declares
II cannot compete with the foreign
market and Is given prohlbitIye duty
OF 40 per cent ad valorem TO keep the
foreign product from our shores
you will readily understand why
tn'Tt are 50 many Oh AiltSg trust tOIIl-
binations In the land, nearly 300, alpha
betically arranged. Their capital
amounted to about $500, 900, 900 before
the Dingley tariff bill Was passed
Now, based on the reciprocity fraud
and the prohlbitive provisions of the
bill, 1t Is more than $4,000, 900 900. The
steel trust alone represents $500, OO0,O 900
and pays dividends Of $4,000, 900 year
ly.
The president says we ought not to
interfere with the tariff on these trusts
because II might affect the profit Of
individual enterprises that are in COM
petition with them,
with great respect. what perfect
farce this Is. There are no private ell
terprlses In competition with them.
