Where He Will Settle Down.

$50 Mark Twain has settled down at
last" said the public when he took
this house. But once again the public
reckoned without its guest. Mark
Twain was born in the country, or
practically so, and now in his seventy
second year the country entices him
again. So he has purchased farm in
Connecticut near West Redding and is
preparing to build house there-and
settle down, 1t is averred very stoutly
by those who know him best that he
really means il this time.
The new house will combine several
European ideas with some American
notions of architecture.
The farm has $50 acres-large enough
for wandering around in. But Mark
Twain is welcome to the rest Of Con
necticut and the world outside. and no
bars will be set against his wandering.
The world is his home. His humor
and philosophy have made it a filter

Ban Placed on Whiskers.

A number of society young women Of
Hemingford, Neb.. have formed an an
ti-whiskers society. A -whiskers So
ciety was formed several months ago
by the young women at Harrison, and
several anti-whiskers societies have
been formed within the last year by
young women in other Nebraska and
South Dakota towns. says the Denver
Post. Members of the Hemingford so
ciety subscribe to an agreement not to
receive attentions from men-young,
middle aged or old-whO wear any sort
of beard and not under any circum-
stances to marry men who have boards.
Heavy penalties are imposed.

tramp, for which he need offer the
world no apology. He has paid his
own way and more, for everywhere he
has scattered garlands of good cheer
Il have lived more and in more
places than any one else ever knew"
he once confessed.
There is none who will dispute him.
Mark Twain probably holds the worlds
record as wanderer. If anybody ever
lived who has had more homes than he
the world has forgotten the individual,
for Mark Twain surely holds the cham
pionship so far as human chronicles in
dictate.
The present writer, being Il fellow
Missourian, once boosted that Mark
Twain is the most famous man in the
world. The other party, after mo-
ment's reflection. replied:
well, he probably is, for he has
lived everywhere in the world, and
everybody knows him personally"
Mark Twain. who has changed his
home so often. has changed his name
only once Off the stage and in pri-
vate life he is still known to his init
mates, when they happen to reflect. as

about midway between the two forks
of Salt river. This noble stream, cele
brated in politics. runs into the Missis-
Sippi river just above Louisiana, Mo.
in Pike county. Down at its mouth it
is wide enough to make an impression
and deep enough to fish in, but up
above its fork it is merely a couple of

why the Clemens family finally moved
away and most of the other people

Mark Twain's first home, where he
was born, was a small one story house.
Opinions are divided as to whether it
still stands. Some persons aver that
it was chopped up for stove wood years
ago and burned in the larger house
which now occupies the site. Others
declare that the original house. like the
star spangled banner, is still there.

siOner-First Direct UItersnee Made on
the Subject.

Richmond, Va, Aug. 13.-The News
Leader this aftertoon publishes the fol
lowing:
Il expect to be a candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination, and will Ger.
tainly make canvass for the honor un.
less something unforeseen shall occur. >
said Henry c. Stuart, of Russell coun.
ty, member of the State Corporation
Commission.
''The News Leader is authorized tc
make the announcement, but want il
understood that am not going to en-.
gage in any campaign until shall have
completed my term as a member Of the
State Corporation Commission. That

next year. After that time l will be
free to begin the preliminary work of
the campaign.
This is the first time Mr.. Stuart has
spoken directly in connection with the
gubernatorial campaign, with which his
name has been mentioned several times.
His announcement will have the effect
OF removing any uncertainty in connec-
ton with his position in the matter. At
the same time, Mr.. Stuart was careful
to emphasize the point that while he is
in the race for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation he will not engage in any cam
paign work while occupying a seat on
the Corporation Commission, holding
that the duties of the office demand and
require his whole attention.
Since the organization of the Commits
sion Mr.. Stuart has been regarded as
the business man" of that body, and
as such it has been his duty to deal with
the question of rates, classifcations.
schedules and the like affecting the pub
lie as applied to the roads, 1t is known
that the detail of the report of the Com
mission in the two-cent passenger rate
hight was largely the work of Mr..
Stuart, who gave many weeks to the
investigation and consideration of the
subject.
Mr.. Stuart is a farmer and cattle
raiser, one of the largest in his section
of the State. He is man of large af
fairs and is much interested in the de.
velopment of the State. His first pub.
lie service was as a member of the con.
stitutional convention.

Declares Coffee Is Source Of Cancer

Cincinnati, o., Aug. 12-'Tt has been
my experience for seventeen years that
coffee drinking is a fruitful source of
cancer" declared DIR. Sarah M, Sci
wars, who assigned excessive coffee
drinking as a contrlhutory cause on a
death certificate.
''It generally attacks the liver and
the stomach, although in the case re.
ported to the health department it was
cancer of the breast" said DIR. Sci
wars when questioned as to her unusual
diagnosis.
Il placed it on the death certificate
as an experiment largely to see if any,
body would notice it."
Health department officials saw it is
the first time in their experience such a
death report has been made.
''There is an alarming increase in the
number of deaths from cancer" the
physician continued, "'and attribute il
largely to the fact that while the popu
lation of the United States is only one
fortieth of the world, we consume one
third of the worlds entire coffee crop

Peace Is Taxed But
Making Of 6uns Goes On.

Berlin, Aug. 1O.-There is a feeling
here that the Peace Conference at The
Hague is largely of the nature of a
fiasco.
1t is argued that the representatives
of the forty-seven States remained in
session for weeks and weeks discussing
the question OF international peace with
out results, Academic questions have
been discussed at academic length, but
when it comes right down to details it
has appeared impossible to secure unan-
mious action.
Unanimity can always be secured for
wide or general statement, no matter
what the question, but when in comes
to anything really bearing upon the
problem of armament or disarmment q
careful analysis of all of the resolutions
presented shows that they have been
drawn in a fashion almost useless and
meaningless.
In the light of all the peace talk anent
the Peace Conference the report of the
Hessen Chamber OF Commerce for 1906
makes interesting reading.
1t contains many interesting details
OF the various figures connected with
the great Krupp works. The total pro-
duction Exclusive of private use) from
the firms own pits was 2,2O4, ,272 tons
of coal; 75l, $40 tons of coke and %. 5s1
tons of brickets. The total number of
employees was 64, 534, including s. .7S9 Of
ficials, an increase during the year of
nearly 1000.
The workmen are settled in 4.69l
dwellings, belonging to the firm, which
also owns the following buildings mo-
vlded for the use of the employees: One

diseases, one convalescent home Ito be

AMERICAN AuIOISI SEN
TENCED FOR wOMAN'S DEATH
Columbia Boy Ran Over Woman In Ger
many-Simmon's Explanation Fails
to Convince Court-BaII
Refused Him.

Berlin, Aug. 10. Emil Jerome Simon,
OF New York, a 19-year-old sophomore
of the science department of Columbia
University, was tried today at Potsdam
for killing Frau Schulz, wife of a farm
er, near Luckenwalde, July 9, in an au-
tomobile accident, and was sentenced to
three months imprisonment.
The lawyer for the defense gave no.
tice of appeal and demanded the liberia
tion of his client in $3.50 bail. The court
refused to grant the demand because
Simon, being foreigner. might leave
the country and forfeit bail.
Simon and a metal worker named
Lohmann, temporarily occupying a seat
In the automobile, testified that its
speed was not above ~ to Is miles an
hour at the moment of the accident.
Simon's explanation was that he met
a wagon which refused to go to the
right, compelling him to go to the left
suddenly. He was at the same moment
overtaklng two women. These separa
ted, one going to right side and one t
the left. The latter lost her head wheI
she saw the automobile veering toward
her side and tried to cross in front of it
The machine struck her.
Lohmann confirmed Simon's story.
Other witnesses testified that Fra
Schulz apparently was struck on tn
footpath at the side of the road, the au
tomobile barely missing the three.
The mother of Simon, at the time o
his arrest, offered bail in $3.50, 900 fo
his release. 1t was refused,
