Thought for Our Young People.

Some years ago every young man was striving to enter the professions; now they are going into the world of business. The fortunes of our country ar e in it's business. The Goulds, Vanderbilts, Carnegies, Stew arts, and Armours are found in the counting houses, the fac tories, the packing houses; the wealth of your town, young reader, is in business; it is so in every town and city. The pro- fessions are overcrowded; busi- ness will never be SO The law does not offer such prizes as mer- chandising; medicine, not half the wealth of manufacturing; teaching, but a small return, as compared with mining or finance. The professions require many years to insure even a living in- come; business pays from the start. But, for business you must have a business education.
 Get, then business education, get the best in the best schools; in other words, attend the Mem phis Commercial, 46 N. Second street, Memphis, Tenn, where the famous Byrne systems are taught.

attempt was made Friday night to burn one of the public school buildings of this city, known as the Standpipe school. Smoke was noticed at 7 o'clock issuing from the roof, and citizens forced the door and found a lot of pine knots and waste paper burning and the floor ablaze. The work is supposed to have been that of boys, who made entrance through a back window.

AFFFCTED WITH GLANDERS.
State Veterinary Surgeon Shoots Six Horses Owned by Will Steen 0t
 Near Campbell.

Glanders has manifested itself among the horses of Will Steen noar Campbell, five miles north of Newport and on Saturday, six horses were shot under or ders from Dr. Rice of Fayette- vile, state veterinary surgeon. One horse had previously died and the case was at once re- ported to Dr. Rice, who upon arrival and examination, diag- nosed the trouble as glanders and under the state law, all the infected stock was at once killed.
 Two of Steen's horses were left, but Doctor Rice will return again soon for a further exam ination, as he says the disease may be contracted by chickens or other stock that have been ex- posed.
 The horses infected with the disease have been running on the range and the origin of the dread disease is not known. It first made it's appearance by a running of the nose, then by sores all over the body, which eat up or choke the animal. There is no known cure and as the disease is infectious, the on- ly safeguard for the welfare of the community, is the killing of the stock.
 The state law provides no re- imbursement to the owner for stock ordered killed and MT. Steen in this instance loses near ly $1,000. As a manifestation of the sympathy of the people of this section for him, sub- scription was started Saturday and soon had over a hundred dollars pledged as a reimburse ment for his loss.

To the Memory of Little Pauline Davis

A year in heaven for her. what is she learning Of holy things. of things divine and true? What glorious visions there are still unfolding Which here she never knew.
 Did angel friends await her at her coming? Did angel faces greet her with smile? Was that dear mother eager to receive her, Whom she had lost awhile?
 year on earth for us without her presence, A year of loneliness, grief and pain; But still we smile amid our tears in thinking, Our loss is but her gain.
 We miss her in our joys and in our sorrows. She was our life, our center and our sun; Yet we would not call her back, but whisper, 70 Father, Thy will be done" X.

care to see Mr.. Bancroft unless it were
for friendly chat,
Say, that Salt Lake road is a dandy.

you, and can assure you that it is in

the coast the body of Boatswain Ma
guire, who was washed from the deck
of the steamer State of California last
Friday, was sighted by two boatmen
in.the Santa Barbara channel, but was
not brought to shore by either party.
1t was first discovered by Captain
Merry of the sloop Vishnu, who was
going from this port to Valdez harbor
on Santa Cruz island. last Tuesday
afternoon. He saw something floating
ahead of the boat that resembled a
piece of yellow kelp, and as he ap-
preached it turned his boat just
enough to escape striking it, and as the
boat passed by he saw that 1t was the
body of a dead man.
He passed by within ten feet OF the
corpse and noticed that the body was
floating face downward. 1T was clothed
i'm a long yellow oil coat and the feet
were weighted down by heavy rubber
boots. 1t was about fourteen miles

ARIZoNANs IN UPRoAR
House Committee Gets Some Hot
Verbal Shot
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-WilliaIn II.
Andrews, a delegate to congress from
New Mexico, appeared before the house
committee on territories today at its
hearing on joint statehood. He said al
though there is some opposition in New
Mexico to joint statehood, he believed
the proposition would carry by good
vote If submitted to the people. New
Mexico would prefer single statehood
but would rather have joint statehood
than remain out of the union.
A. ]. Doran of Prescott, Ariz., ar
gued against joint statehood.
In an impassioned speech Eugene
ONeil declared that the committee was
acting as judge, jury and prosecuting
attorney in advocating the joint state
hood bill and characterized as a crime
the way the hearing was conducted.
Democratic members of the commit
tee agreed with Mr.. O'Nell and en-
couraged him in continuing a speech
which threw the committee In an up
roar
Other Arizonans who spoke were r.
S. Goodrich, Phoenix; e. S. George
French, Nogales; and E. S. Campbell,
Prescott.
Chairman Hamilton today intimated
that the joint statehood bill might be
reported by the committee on Monday

WARDE GIVES NEW
VERSION OF SHYLOCK
POINTS OUT ONE SOFT PLACE IN
JEWS HEART
Great Actor Shows Wonderful Power
When He Depicts Money Lender.
Answers Critics of Portia-Series
Closes With Macbeth"

"The Merchant of Venice" in Italy,
the land of the blue skies and the land
Of romance, sunshine and love, was
presented last evening by Frederick
Warde at Dobinson hall in a superb
interpretatiVe recital.
Mr.. Warde prefaced the play with a
description OF the times and places and
the characters and again pointed out,
as he has done at each lecture and re-
cital, that in the first soliloquy does the
characters of Shakespeare set for them
selves as they are and their aims.
Mr.. Warde succeeded in giving to
Shylock a somewhat new version, in
asmuch as in his description he pointed
out the one soft place in the heart of
the Jew-his love for Leah, his dead
wife, and that in the turquoise ring
he kept a remembrance of the years
when he was young before hardness,
unkindness and injustice had incrusted
his heart in a shell of bitterness and
hatred. With all the pathos of the
great actor, he depicted Shylock with
out that one bit of love, and then, after
the trial scene, loathed and degraded,
passing a few days or months in misery
and then-oblivion.
Shall bend low, and in a bond
mans key, with bated breath and
whispering humbleness," was given in
all the hatred and mockery of the Jew.
Mr. Warde spoke of the fact that
some critics have harshly criticised the
lines of Portia, First go with me TO
church and call me WIFE," as indelicate,
'but stated that to his mind 1t was the
sweetest, purest and noblest thing In
womanhood. AS a betrothed there
were limits to her helping Antonio, but
as the wife of Bassinio she could
do it with all propriety.
Then followed the trial scene, which
was greeted with continued applause,
as the different characters were pre-
sented.
This afternoon Mr.. Warde will pre-
sent "Shakespeare's Art of Oratory,"
and this evening, which will close the
series, macbeth"

WANTS HALL OF SHAME
Wealthy Russian Offers 100000 to
New York Boston or Pitsburg
for Grafters' Home
Special to The Herald.

SpeClal TO Ine Herald,
PITTSBURG. Jan. ia Halls OF
Shame" to be erected and maintained
for at least a century, as deterrent to
graft and capitalistic oppression is the
novel proposition of Emil Servich, a
wealthy Russian recluse, residing at
Silver Lake, n. Y, who offers to give
100000 outright to the first city which
will take up his project.
Servich limits the choice to New York
Boston or Pittsburg. He excludes Chi
cago because of his condemnation of
the hanging of the Haymarket anarch-
lists, who, Servfch maintains, were true
men. Servich has made his proposition
to intimate friends here, and will come
to Pittsburg next week to lay it before
the proper authorities.
Briefly, Servich's scheme proposes to
place in his Hall of Shame" annually
the names and statutes of five men
who have been most active in injuring
masses of their fellow men. The candi-
date does not have to be dead to obtain
q niche in the hall. Servich would have
these men chosen by a board of direc-
tors to be elected by popular vote.

WILD MAN FOUND
NEAR Pixies PEAK
MAY EXPLAIN MYSTERIOUS
DISAPPEARANCES
Believed to Be Alfred MarIoWe, Who,
With a Companion, Got Lost
In Storm Ten Years
Arm
specjal to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Jan. 19.-The
discovery of wild man, nearly naked,
with brown hair several inches long
covering his body and q gray beard
reaching to his waist, roaming on the
northwest slope of Pixies Peak, may
explain the mysterious disappearance
of many tourists who have dropped out
of sight in this section during the past
ten years.
He is believed to be Albert Marlowe,
who, with Joseph Brady, got lost in a
storm ten years ago. When Brady,
nearly frozen to death, was rescued,
he was insane and his companion is
believed to be insane and living in the
wilds to this day.
Skeletons have been found near the
embers of camp fires, whose identity
could not be gained and in one case
two burros, saddled, laden with a
camping outfit, were found fastened to
trees in lonely thicket months after
the animals had died. A searching
party will hunt down the hermit when
the snow goes off.

Notes for Women
Small Umbrellas Bane of Women

Though she may delight in the carved
ivory or delicate mother-o Of pearl
handle of her umbrella woman loses
all that joy when she has to bring the
parapluie into actual use when her
enemy, j. Pluvius, is trying to make
her the shrinking center of a shower
bath. 1t is sadly true that women's
umbrellas are mere parasols. If you
want to get one of practical use you
must buy big, clumsy handled af-
falr meant only for a man. The 2S-
inch umbrella is the good size for serv-
ice but who ever saw one Of that sweep
made with the fittings that please a
woman? In despair many persons get
the mnnnish umbrellas, figuring that
it is better to be dry than to be dainty.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 19.-An in
teresting military spectacle which it
has hitherto been the custom of the
emperor to attend took place at the
Horse Guard barracks, where the re-
cruits for the guard divisions were
sworn and assigned to the several regi-
ments. according to their traditional
facial and physical characteristics.
The selection which hitherto had been
made by Grand Duke Vladimir was
undertaken by Grand Duke Nicholas
Nicholaievitch. The grand duke walked
in front Of the recruits and picked out
the tallest for the Preobrajensky regi-
ment, the handsomest especially of the
little Russian type, for the Chevalier
Guard regiment, those with weakened
and prematurely aged cOuntenances for
the Ismailovsky regiment, and the
young men with fresh faces for the
Seminovsy regiment, while all those
with snub noses went to the PavloVsky
regiment, in which still, as in the time
of the eccentric Emperor Paul, every
nose in the ranks is tilted upward be-
meath a towering head dress.

" Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The state
hood bill was under consideration by
the senate committee on territories to-
day, The bill was read at length and
number of minor changes agreed
upon. Among the amendments was one
for the Insertion of prohibition clause
for Indian territory similar to the
house provision and 1t probably will be
incorporated in the bill. The question
Of joint statehood for Arizona and New
Mexico was not brought up. There is
no intention of reporting the bill until
after the house acts, Friends of the
bill claim that all the Republican MEM
bers of the committee and one Demo-
cratic member. Mr.. Clark Of Arkansas,
will favor the reporting of the measure
substantially as it was introduced.
The full strength of the Republican
"insurgent" vote against the bill was
canvassed during the conference and
estimated at forty-one. With full at
tendance of the "stalwarts" this vote
can be overcome. The bill will be ac-
companied in the house by rule pro-
hibiting the division of the statehood

Welded WRONG TWIN
Former Pittsburger Suing for Divorce,
Alleges Wife's Failure to
Sing Showed Error
Special to The Herald.

Special 10 The Herald.
PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 19-Hyde ].
Summers, formerly of Pittsburg, now
of Olcott, N Y, has commenced pro-
ceedings to annul his marriage TO his
wife, Irene. He alleges he led the
wrong girl to the altar.
Summers says he offered himself in
marriage TO Ruth Bekman and was ac-
cepted, Ruth, the complaint says, had
a twin sister, and the two were iden-
tical in appearance. Summers cites an
instance where Irene accompanied him
to a theater in Buffalo as joke, he
believing she was Ruth.
Several days after the wedding, Sum-
mers AYERS, he requested his wife to
play the piano and sing for him. She
played indifferently. he alleges, and
could not sing. This aroused his sus-
picions, as he knew that Ruth pos
sessed a clear soprano voice.
On this statement he seeks to prove
his wife is Irene, and not Ruth. The
defendant denies any error has been
made, and declares she can sing with
ability. The whole case will pivot on
this point.
