stretcher. He was put to bed in a private
staterOom.
Mrs Carriers body is still at the Stephen
Merritt undertaking establishment at 18th
street and Sth avenue. Every one who calls
to see il is admitted in the hope that some
one will be found who can more completely
clear up the details of the wOmans past
life. Only few of the many visitors yes
terday appeared to have known the woman.
The majority Of them were apparently at
tracted by curiosity.
A close friend of Mrs. Marguerite Carter
declares that Mrs. Carter confided to her at
one time that she was the daughter of
French countess. According to this friend
Mrs Carriers maiden name was Marguerite
Louise Marie DeMaribeau, her birthplace
was Paris, and the date of her birth July,
1876.

tons of chocolate were consumed by fire
yesterday in the chocolate and cocoa
mills of William II. Baker on the fifth
and sixth floors of a large six-story brick
factory building at f9-59 Clymer street,

An automatic fire alarm went off, and
when the fremen reached the scene nearly
the entire sixth floor was in flames When
an entrance was effected the thick, suffo-

DULUTH, September Il. 1907.
There is not likely to be any fuel famine
this winter. Indeed, the fuel famine last
year was very largely political There was
some suffering and a good deal of incon-
venienCe- Many people had 10 so to bed
early night after night because they had
no coal to warm their houses: but, so far as
can Toe learned the suffering was not much
greater than occurs every winter and was
very much exaggerated for political effect.
The agitation was started by member of
Congress who appealed to the President in
a sensational manner to give his constitu
ents fuel. The President stirred up the in
cation To Minnesota to make an investiga
ton and comma nded the railroads to carry
coal to the people. which they did to the
best of their ability. They carried ii in
baggage cars and in express cars; they
sent special trains. and made every effort
to reach the places where the suffering was
greatest
There was plenty of coal at Duluth all
the time More than million tons lay on
the docks untouched when the spring
opened and in excess of tn" demand. The
whole trouble lay in the improvdenCe of
the consumers and the lack of capital and
enterprise among the local dealers, who al
lowed an unusually early winter to catch
them without their usual supply. Begin
ming with November the wea ther last year
became very severe and neither the retail
dealers nor the consumers We're prepared

glorious purple blooms surrounding
them in halos. Some of the dark
eyed beauties are pictured in pose for
a dance, the tiny hand high above tie
flower bedecked head, the leg out

enough to- show the contour of a

The languid life of the average jap
anese woman is shown again in the
number of pictures that have taken
with the subjects in reclining atti-
tudes, usually on couch, which Oft
times is covered with silks and flow
ers.
The Paris who has to judge between
the hundreds of photographs submit
ted in the competition will indeed be
severely taxed, for the result is be-
wildering display. The task of selec-
ton has been made more difficult by
the artistic character of the surround
ings in which the contestants have
chosen to be photographed
In American beauty contests there
is no such difficulty. The picture usu-
ally shows "a lady lin evening dress. It

ly comprising the head only. and all
the expert need do is to study the
features for regularity, size up the ex
pressixeness of the eyes, make a
guess as to the clearness of the skin,
determine the shapeliness of shoul-
ders and neck, and decision is made
But the Japanese woman has small
admiration for bust picture only.
She counts her head and shoulders
only minor part of her beauty. Even
to be photographed in a full length
pose is not enough. She must take
some especially graceful position, and
she picks out the surrounding with
such care thatit would indeed be an
ungracious referee who would fail to
take this feature into account when
deciding the contest.

story is told of a typical old farmer

Also he made the stage such a mat
rimonial bureau: as it had never before
been. The tail, superb girl in the
Paris gown and the huge hat, carrying
herself like a queen and actually
knowing how to sing, was a divinity
not to be resisted.
Everywhere the opera went she took
her all-conquering sway. The idea
has been stolen and multiplied in all
forms of entertainment, even down to
vaudeville.
1t is an unfortunate habit of Ameri-
cans to sneer at the quality of British
humor but the careers of Messrs. Gill
bert and Hall force something of q
halt on this attitude. American play
wrfghts would be hard put to show
such a gallery Of humorous portraits
as Gilbert created, or such sustained
power of lively dialogue as Mr.. Hall
exhibited. Even without the music or
the sextet at all "F1orodora'' would
have been a delightful entertainment,
with its abundance of cleverness and
comedy.
But long after Mr.. Hall and his
dialogue is forgotten the "Florodora''
sextet will be remembered, and long
after each of the estimable six ladies
has reached the age of tottering senil-
ity, reporters will be recording Incl
dents happening to members of the
endless original sextet.

So it happens that the original six

All that happened to give the Floro-
dora gem it's undesirable notoriety it
owes to those who went on the road

But it is not alone in connection
with "Florodora" itself that the in
fiuence of Mr.. Hall must be calculated.
He really made new type of chorus
girl, which is being reflected in every
current production.
To form of entertainment that
regular theatergoers had come to re-
gard with jaded palate Mr.. Hall
gave the new SAVIOR that put it back
again in the forefront of popularity.

Only lately one of them made a good

Marie Wilson, married Freddy Geb-
hard of Baltimore, famous in another
epoch for his friendship with. Mrs.
langtry, the English actress.
But Miss Wilson was wealthy be-
fore she married Gerhard. In fact
she left the sextet before the original
run ended, and was the first to 60. A

TIGER HUNT IN KOREA.


| of Scotland who has had many exciting
experiences in hunting. tigers in Far
/ Eastern countries, lis usually looked
on as tropical beast, but as a matter
of fact he is found pretty much
throughout the continent of Asia. He
is an animal of great power, resources
and intelligence and exerts large in
fuence on the lives of the people.
In Korea, where I have hunted,
there are no forests on the seaboard,
but the inland ridges are heavily tim
bered, and here the. tigers are found.
The beasts are numerous and are pur-
sued on foot. After two or three vain
chases was told by the natives that
no tigers could be found unless sac
rif1ce were offered, and accordingly l
gave UP some coin for the necessary
rice and wine. The sacrifice was ac-
lcordingly made, and the next day /
shot a very handsome specimen. In
every Korean village there is an Off

sound his horn whenever tiger gets

Officer Franks Gets Next to Little
Game-Pole in Jail for
Vagrancy.

The alacrity with which a foreigner
can forget the English language when
he is in trouble and wishes to, was
never more truly shown than at the
Hammond police station today. A ma
tive of Poland, resembling a hobo in
garb. apparently about 45 years of age
ambled into Hammond this morning
and unlike most Of his tribe, was not
a bit at sea. He started right in TO
make himself at home and went around
to a few saloons where he bumed a
drink in the up-to-date manner of
real live tramp. After he picked
up a breakfast from a few free lunch
counters and had several drinks he
marched out on the street and started
to pick up a little lose change like
panhandler from the people coming
from the trains. He managed to find
few soft hearted ones and things
we're looking rosy.
While his English was a little brok-
en-, he could be readily understood wnen
he made touch and when refused he
did not fail to get the drift of what
was said. and the black looks reward
ed the touchee. He continued the rou-
tine until about II o'clock when he
came along near the corner of Hob
man and State streets when he made
one touch too many and he was landed.
officer Franks saw the man at work
and invited him to step over to the
station house. On the way his vo-
cabulary slipped out through a hole in
his trousers and was lost.W When ques-
toned by the officers he could not un-
derstand one word of the language
and did not know how to utter a syl-
liable. All he could do was to jabber
away in a tongue utterly unintelligi-
ble and the police could not get an
answer out or him. He was locked up
on a vagrancy charge.

and the railroads are planning the big

from Chicago are taking advantage
OF the quietude of the lakes and small

petitors will be nineteen. Qualifica-
