tail OF twelve members OF the State

member Of the band fired his re-
volver at the troops.
No one was struck, but the con-

FRISCO DOG MADE GOOD.
Swan Fay After Ferryboat That Car
ried Beloved Little Mistress.

After being fed and warmly clothed
.here, five refugees rrom San Fran
Scisco were placed on train and sent
5;on to their former home in a little
town On Long Island, writes the Chl-
cago correspondent of the New York
Press.
Along with the poor little party,
which consisted of Mrs. Amelia Berg
and children and a son-in-laW, was
snondescript dog, looking the reverse
gof his name, which was Sport. But
1t was noticed that the police of Har-
rison street did not neglect the dog
8 I'M handing out good things to eat,
and a big bluecoat tenderly carried
Sport In his arms to the train.
The story of Sport is trifling one,
but; interesting, maybe. When the
Berg home, at No. 81 Minna street,
went by quake and fire with all goods
at contained, the family fed to 'the
ferry, followed by the dog. But poor
Sport was promptly kicked Off the
boat and hlowled dismally from the
pier as the craft pulled out, leaving
him to his fate.
Knowing the dog would die any
way. Anna Berf gave shrlll whistle,
and hearing the dear, familiar sound,
brave Sport sprang into the water.
It's two and one-half miles to Oak
land, but arrived there Anna .obstf.
nately. sat on the pierhead anu
watched not the great confiagration

Sif he could.

then a round head and then a pair OF
shiny eyes fixed -eaa-ksh -kh1a, and q boat

EACH VILLAGE is A VENICE.
Strange Relic of Ancient Customs Pre-
vaiiino in a German Forest.

Strange Relic of Ancient Customs Pre-.
valins in German Forest.
One of the most interesting regions
in the "old fatherland' is the so-called
".Spreewald," the Forest of the Spree,
situated not far from the German
capital, in the province of Branden-
burg. Each village is little Venice,
every house little island, and these
isiets are, connected by bridges suf-
iciently raised to allow boats to pass
under them.
Most of the houses, with their barns
and stables, rest on piles, and there
is generally strip of artificial terra
frma either in front or at the rear
of every building. BY means of these
land strips and of the bridges the
slender land communication is kept
throughout the district, but most OF
the business and amusement is car
ried on through the canals. which not
only form the main highways but
penetrate and cross and rccross the
whole region.
1t is on these lagoons that all traf-
fic is conducted. in boats during the
period from spring, when the last YES.
tiges of frost and ice are disappearing,
until the end of autumn. You see
the letter carrier shoot UP and down
the canals. performing his duties in
his frail craft; the police glide leis-
urely along the banks, watching every
thing going on; peasants bring the
products of their toll to the nearest
towns; children go to and from
school; young mothers, dressed in
their Sunday clothes, are. rowed to
church, carrying in their arms
small, ueer-looking bundle from
which two large eyes in tiny face
stare at the stranger in wonderment-
baby is going to be baptized, an i'm
portant moment with this strongly reli'
gious people-Tethnical World.

.HE TOOK REBATES
A Pennsylvania Purchasing
Agent Makes Confession
PROFIT ON COAL he PURCHASED
In His Capacity as Purchaser of Fuel
Coal an Official Testified That he

Cents Per Ton.

Philadelphia, Special.-Thc Inter-

.ued its investigation of the relations
of the Pennsylvania Railroad employ
.es to various mining companies i'll the
;bitumiuous coal district. The first
witness was Joseph Boyer, Of Altoona.
chief clerk in the Office of A. w.
Gibbs, superintendent of the Motive
power.
In its entirety Mr.. Boyer's testi-
tmony was a startling character. His
stock holdings were only a small por-
.tion of the gifts he admitted receic-
ing from the coal mining companies.
In his capacity as purchaser of fuel
coal he testified that lie had receiv-
ed from five companies an allowance
of from 3 to S cents ton OH coal
used by the railroad for fuel purposes.
During a period from the latter part
of 1903 to date he has received a TO-
tai of more than $4,000. The COM
panies which made him this allow
.ance were the Graft Coal Company,
the Clearfeld and Granton Coal Com
pany, Dunkirk Coal Company and
Thomas Blythe Company.
Graft Coal Company allowed him
five cents ton and the ClearReid and
.Granton Company gave him share
in the profits which amounted 10 not
less than four cents ton. Blythe
and Company gave him three cents
a ton. He was asked why he discrim-
mated in favor Of Blythe and Co. He
replied he did not discriminate as the
money came to him without solicita-
ton or any effort on his part. Hc be-
slieyed that the money had been paid
in The same manner to his predeces-
sors in Office and he believed he was
only following The custom Of the de-
5partment.
