PROPER MANNER OF READING.
Writer Sees Much Harm In Multi.
pIicity Of Books.

It seems to me that with the multi
plication Of books we are losing all
sense of literature. Leisure and three
books, a Bible, a Shakespeare, a Wait
Whitman, might make a nan truly
wise If the seeds of wisdom were in
him. / do not know even a wise mar
whose instinct for wisdom would not
be deadened by the Reorganization OF
the Encyclopedia Britannica. Books
should be taken in doses no bigger
than music or pictures; they are even
harder to digest. There Is more
drunkenness in a book than in all the
vineyards of France. A book may re-
make a mans soul. Books should be
t treated with reverence or cast out as
dirt. They are in danger of passing
out of the service of the temple into

Nothing is gained by reading a book
unless you give to that book lore
than it brings to you. All these peo-
pie who read with their eyes only are
fatally wasting their time. A book

MORMONs IN CONFERENCE.
Church Has Paid Off Its Million Dol
lars of Indebtedness.

Salt Lake City, Utah.-The sew
enty-eighth annual conference of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints began here Friday in the
Mormon tabernacle, representatives of
Mormon colonies all over the world
being present. All of the services Of
the general conference will be open
to the public except the meetings of
the priesthood, to be held today. Presi-
dent Joseph F. Smith made the an
nouncement that the church had COM
pletely paid up its $1,000,000 bonded
Indebtedness. A lengthy address to
the world was adopted, setting forth
the principles of Mormonism, protest
ing against criticism brought against
the church, proclaiming loyalty to the
United States and declaring that the
church has kept the pledge given when
statehood for Utah was made possible
on condition that polygamy be aban-
doned. Apostle Reed Smoot was among
the church dignitaries present.

The recent visit of the president to
his sons who are being educated in
New England has impelled a biograph-
ical statistician to look up the careers
of the sons of former presidents, with
interesting results. Twenty-one sons
of the presidents reached maturity,
nine of them have held prominent po-
sitions, and all but n or two have
been substantial citizens. A son OF
John Adams became president and a
grandson was a member Of congress
and minister to England. One of Lin
coins sons was a cabinet minister n
a minister to England, and n of
Grants sons has had a distinguished
career in diplomacy and in the army.
Two of Garfeld's son have risen to
fame, one as a college professor and
the other as a cabinet minister. The
son of William Henry Harrison was a
man of great influence in his own
state, and became the father of Ben
jamin Harrison, so that he was the
son of one president and the father of
another.

GREENEA AND GAyN0R
CASE CALLED FOR ARGUMENT IN
U. S. CIRCUIT COURT.
A SEVEN YEARS LEGAL BATTLE
The Defense Argues Demurrer to the
First Indictment for
Conspiracy.

New Orleans, La.-Entering its
eighth year of legal battle, the case of
Benjamin d. Greene and John F.
Gaynor, convicted of defrauding the
government of yer nalf a million dol
lars in Savannah harbor improvements,
was called for argument Monday in
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals upon a writ of error from the
federal court at Savannah.
The demurrer to the first indictment
for conspiracy was argued by the de-
Tense. 1t vas pointed out that when
this Indictment came up before Judge
Brown of New York he condemned the
first eight out of ten counts, while
later when the same indictment came
up before Judge Speer of Savannah,
the latter condemned the two counts
which Judge Brown had sustained,
while sustaining the eight counts
which Judge Brown had condemned.
1t was argued that Greene and
Gaynor were eXtradited from Canada
for participation in fraud by an agent
Or trustee. In Savannah, however, the
attorney said they were tried upon a
charge Of conspiracy and this amount
ed to trying them for a different Of
Tense than they were e~xtradited for.
AS for the indictment for embezzle-
ment, it was claimed that the proof
in the Savannah court showed that the
alleged payment of money for their
use had been made in New York.
The argument for the defense had
not been concluded when court ad-
journed for the day.

MACKLIN TO TESTIFY
SENATE COMMITTEE HEARS CON-
WANDER OF COMPANY c.
MAS SHOT BY NEGROES IN RENO
Capt. MackIin to Be Tried by Court.
Martial When He Returns
to Texas.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The testimony
of Captain Edgar A. Macklin, OF
Company G, Twenty.ifth infantry, was
taken by the senate committee on mill
tary affairs yesterday in the Browns
vile investigation. 1t proved interest
ing, particularly for the reason that
| Macklin is to be tried by court-martial
after his return to Texas and fer toe
further reason that he vas shot by an
unidentified negro at Fort Reno after
the negro soldiers were taken away
from Fort Brown. Macklin does not
| believe the negroes were guilty OF
shooting up Brownsville, according to
his story told on the stand Monday.
At the afternoon session Capt. Mack
lin was eros s-examined, principally as
to his whel eabouts when the shooting
| occurred and the evidence given by
| former negro soldiers that they had
been unable to find the captain in his
quarters when Major Penrose sent
them to arouse him. Capt. Mack'in
said that he did not believe the sob
| diers had come to his quarters. The
shells which Capt. Macklin picked up
outside the garrison wall were put in
his desk, he said, and were forgotten
until after the battalion left Fort
Brown. Search for them later had
been ~unavailing.
Chairman Warren questioned Capt.
Macklin concerning the attack upon
him at Fort Reno, after the Browns
vile affray, when the captain was shot
through the head. The witness said
he was in doubt as to who did the
shooting.
Officers of my regiment tried to
make me believe that the shooting
was for the purpose of robbery he
said, but it is my own theory that i
was not" He said the shooting had
been done by a masked negro, but he
knew nothing more concerning It. Cor
poral Knowles of Company A, Twenty
fifth infantry, is under arrest charged
with having committed the assault,
but Capt. Macklin said that the evil
dence against Knowles is purely cir
c~umstantial.

OCCUPATION May BE BRIEF
Troops to Be Withdrawn from OudJa
Gradually.

Lalla, Marina, Algeria.-At present,
although it is impossible to saw how
long the occupation OF Oudja will be
continued, it is not probable that the
entire force of 5000 men will remain
for long on Moroccan territory. AS
soon as the power of France has been
established the greater portion OF the
column of occupation will be with
drawn gradually, leaving at Oudja
only the few hundred men who are
necessary for the preservation of or
der.
Col. Reidel, chief Of staff, who al
ready has taken over the administra-
ton of Oudja, said yesterday that ev'
erything led him to believe that the
occupation would have a widespread
and Statutory effect upon Morocco. All
the Moroccan chiefs of the region are
coming in and today Col. Reidel will
explain the circumstances of the oc-
cupation to them.

RUSSIA ENTERS A DENIAL
Cabinet Has No intention Of D~issolvlng
Lower House.

st. Petersburg, Russia.-The press
is authorized to give a positive and
categorical denial to the various ru-
mors telegraphed abroad to the effect
that the cabinet had decided to dis
solve the lower house OF parliament.
The correspondents learned that a few
of the reactionary members OF the cab
met maintain that the lower house
should be dissolved on any pretext, but
the matter has not been discussed at
one of the last three cabinet SEES
sions.
The crucical moment, however, Is
expected today, when a vote will be
taken on the constitutional democratic
motion to refer the budget to commit
tee. There is a social democratic
amendment to reject the budget totally
and the correspondent has been in
formed that the passage of this amend
ment will be regarded as justification
for dissolution. The vote is expected
to be very close. The social demo-
Gratis have succeeded in aligning the
social revolutionists, the populists and
a part of the group of toll, altogether
210 deputies, or their side. The con-
stitutional democrats have a slight
lead, expecting to have 240 deputies.
But the reactionaries who are schem-
ing to overturn the duma may re-
peat the precedent established March
% and vote with the social democrats
against the constitutional democrats.
The group of toll will introduce bills
today for the abolition of the death
penalty and a martial law. The coun-
Gil of empire has rejected by 104
votes to 25 a proposal to disqualify
Prof. Maxim Kovalevaskya, a member
of the lower house. His disqualified
ton was urged on the grounds that
he was a supernumerary professor,
and upon this basis he had already
been disqualified by the senate.

Great German Socialist.

Herr Bebel, the leader of the Ger
mar socialists, who has been so much
in evidence of late, Is a w~heelwright
by trade. Although entirely self-edu-
Gated, he is one of the finest orators
AND debaters in the fatherland and,
distasteful as his views may be to
the reichstag, whenever he addresses
the assembly he is certain of having
a large and attentive audience. In
such esteem is he held by the social
lists that millions will obey his will
without thinking whether they are do
ing right or wrong. Herr Bebel
neither drinks nor smokes, and be-
sides being a celebrity in the political
void has gained some fame as a
writer.

DR.. WILEY is SURPRISED.
Much Canned Goods Sent to England
Is Not Properly Labeled.

Washington, D. Cdr. Harvey w.
Wiley, chief of the bureau of chem
istry of the department of agriculture,
expressed surprise Friday night when
shown a dispatch from London, in
which Health Officer Stepney is quot
ed as saying that rs per cent of the
canned goods imported into England
from the United States are not labeled
and that English firms afterwards put
on their OWE labels. DR.. Wiley said
he had always supposed that such
goods were fully and correctly labeled.
TT is a common practice among
many manufacturers" said DR.. Wiley,
mot to put their own labels on their
goods, but instead, the labels of the
jobbers. 1t may be that goods sent
to England are labeled with the names
of English jobbers in harmony with
this common custom.

CARE OF THE SICK ROOM.
Above All Things the Walls Should
Be Kept Dry.

When the bedroom becomes a sick
room there is an added reason why ex-
IRENE precautions should be used to
keep the room in a thoroughly sanitary
condition.
Above all things, the bedroom should
never be damp. 1t should be nice and
dry, always warm and comfortable in
winter, cool and airy in summer, and
bright and sunny some parts of the
day.
If there is any suspicion of damp
ness in a bedroom it is probably due,
if there is wallpaper on the wall, to
the absorption of water by the paper
which frequently acts as a blotting pa
per and holds quantities of water in it.
The use of wallpaper on walls is tc
be deplored; it means disease, i'll
health and unhappiness. 1t is fire.
Guently the cause of lung trouble, not
only because of it's dampness but also
because of it's power to retain infec'
ton of many kinds.
The desired method of treating a
bedroom wall is to tint it for the ala
bastined wall is a perfect wall. 1t
eve fakes off, chips or peels. 1t alb
serbs moisture and expels it, it opens
the pores of the plaster and makes a
room livable and breathable.
The floor in the bedroom should
have light, cleanable, dainty rugs that
can be easily shaken and a floor that
is thoroughly oiled or vanished, that
will not absorb moisture. The cracks
in the floor should be thoroughly filled
and covered. Woodwork in the bed.
room should be attended to carefully
window stills should be thoroughly var
nished or waxed, and the window cas-
ings kept in perfect order. The doors
should be wiped off frequently as also
should be all the standing woodwork
in the bedroom, as the presence OF
dust on woodwork is a menace to
health as well as an evidence of poor
housekeeping

GRIT SAVED HIS LEG.
Ranchman Rode Far After Most Serb
Gus Injury.

Jack Farland, a ranchman living at
the base of Pixies Peak, and whose
post Office Is Midland, in this county,
yesterday suffered a broken leg by
being caught between a horse which
he was riding and a timber wagon
which he was attempting to pass
while en- route to this city, says the
Cripple Creek Times. Farland dis
played the greatest of pluck by riding
on to Victor after suffering the injury,
although he said upon arriving here
that he felt several times that he must
give up. Knowing, however, what
difficulty would attend any attempt to
dismount, and how well nigh impossi-
BILE it would be for him to remount in
the event that he succeeded in getting
safely off his horse, the ranchman
gritted his teeth and kept on. After
having his leg set by a surgeon of
this city, Farland collapsed and it
was late in the afternoon before he
was able to proceed homeward in a
carriage, the accident having. hap
pened early in the morning.

Not only does British law unseat a
man whose election to the house of
commons has been secured by bribery,
but the house of commons itself dis
franchises a constituency which shows
itself to be unusually corrupt. The
house has lately refused to allow an
election to be held at Worcester to fill
a vacancy caused by the u%nseating of
a member, and the city will not be
represented until the present parlia-
ment is dissolved. The American
standard in such matters is not quite
so high as the British, but it is i'm
proving.

to settle some vexed questions of no.
menclature. 1t declares that "aeron-
eff" describes a flying machine heavier
than air; that is, an apparatus having
no gas bag. "Aeronefs" are divided
into several classes: "Helicoptera,"
machine depending on screws for
flight; "aeroplanes," machines in
which equilibrium depends on plane
surfaces, and "orthopetra," mechanic
al birds and machines propelled by
the tapping of wings. The expression

the pilot of ~"aeronef," as "aeronaut"
is applied to the pilot of a gas bal

from stomach trouble. For a long time
Twas subject to bad spells of faintness
and lack of breath accompanied by an
indescribable feeling that seemed to
start in my stomach. Whenever l was
q little rundown Or over-tired, these
spells would come on. They occurred
frequently but did not last very long.
~ was confined to my bed for ten
weeks one time and the doctor pro-
nounced my trouble chronic infiamma-
ton of the stomach and bowels. Since
that time I have been subject to the
fainting spells and at other times to fut-
tering of the heart and a feeling as
though I was smothering. My general
health was very bad and | was weak and
trembling.

mentioned in the newspapers and de-
cided to try them. When l began taking

1t is now asserted that the real
cause OF the war in Central America
may be traced back to a mule, the row
having begun over the alleged theft
of one of the quadrupeds from Hon
duras by a body of Nicaraguan caval-
rymen. If so, the matter was too
trivial to lose time and temper over.
And if the row arose on account of a
mule it may be said those who con-
tinue it are showing a disposition in
keeping with the character of the
beast which was the inspiration of
it all.
