Excitement Subsiding,

New Orleans, July l9.-I'ne first
spasm of popular indignation and dis.
gust over the verdict ia the Lemans
kidnapping by which the
four Italians will receive life sentences,
10 lieu of being sent to the gallows, has
about snbsided here today, although the
strongest expressions of disapproval con-
tinue to be heard on all sides snd 10
where more than among the better Ital-
ian element, who frankly admit the in
effectiveness of such q verdict in pre-
venting the well-to-dc members OF the
colony from again being victims of Black
Hand crimes. No trouble is looked for
at the Parish Jail In St. Charles Parish
where the convicted Italians will be held
until next Monday, when the trial Of
the Gebbias, Beceller and sister will
commence, owing to the presence Of the
troops there post haste last night. Any
efforts to wreak vengeance on Italians
here is deemed unlikely owing to the
preparations made by the local author

The Elks.

Pbiladelphi, July l9.-Droves of
Elks, recovered from the wiltering heat
OF yesterday, set forth from Philadelphia
today ia search of pleasure at various
seaside resorts, after the grand lodge
adjourned and it was announced that the
next meeting will be held In Dalla',
Texas.
The Missouri delegation today made a
hari fight before the grand lodge TO
change the official emblem, which now
ia an Elks tooth, on the ground that the
demand for the teeth is causing the ex-
termination ofthe animals.
Members from Wyoming, Oregon and
other western States opposed the propo-
sition on the grounds that the extraction
of EIks' teeth is painless and does not
cause death.
A large party of Elks went to Valley
Forge where Senator Knox delivered an
address,

Corey and the steel CORPORATION.

New York, July 19.-Wm. Ellis
Corey will not await request for his
resignation from the presidency of the
steel trust, according TO his Wall street
friends. He has made money enough to
be absolutely independent of his $780,
900 salary, these friends assert, and
would like to retire and will probably
lay his resignation before the directors
as soon as they meet for their next
regular session, July 80. The gossips
have had it that the directors, provok-
ed almost to the limit of endurance by
Corey's matrimonial tro.s-les, divorce
and remarrisgo to Mabelle Gilman, boil
ed over when he failed to return from
his wedding "trip abroad by the end Of
June, commented with more force than
elegance on what they termed his neglect
Of business and made up their minds TO
force him out of the steel trust. Corey 3
business associates estimate his winnings
10 recent Wall street operations all the
way from $40, 200, 900 to $50, 900, 900
and explain that he doesn't care a snap
of his fingers what the directors think.

Woman I'm Snakes Coils.

York, Pa, July 19.-Mrs. John
Dunlap, mother of Rev. James f. Dun
lap, presiding elder of the Williamspori
district of the United Evangelical
Church, had frightful experience with
huge blacksnske, which coiled itself
about her while she wss assisting in the
harvest field or her farm, neSr Voc,
this county, yesterday afternoon. Her
experience easily furnishes the cham
pion snake story of this season in the
county. Mrs. Dunlap, who is IS year old,
had been forced by lack of lsborers to
assist in the field. She was alone on a
newly-clesred tract of land, awaiting he
return of the wagon from the barn, when
she felt that her legs were entsngled 10
what she believed to be binding Irvine.
Attempting to disengsge herself, she
WAS Mortified to find that she WAS in the
coils of an immense snake. AS she fell
to the ground, crying for help and
struggling vsinly 10 tear away from the
serpent, the wagon appeared and farm
hands ran to her rescue. Their united
exer;ions we're not sufficient to remove
the snake, which frightened its coils with
every effort TO drag it away. Finally,
with their knives, the men hacked it
from her body piecemeal. 1t measured
more than seven feet in length.

deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness. and that is by con-
stitutiOnsl remedies. Deafness Is caused by
an inaamed condition Of the mucous lining
OF the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is
inhamed you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored 10 its normal condition. hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by Cstarrh, which is nothing but an
inhamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of Deafness (csused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

ACCORDING to Prof Lyman E. Stowe,
OF Detroit, who predicted the Spanish
American conflict, "war, worldwide
and devastating, is imminent" This
world war may not come at once, says
Prof. Stowe, but it cannot be STAYED of
logger than five years, and it may come
in July, 1905. The United States will
be involved not alone with Japan, but
with the entire world, That is why Eng
land has formed alliances with the world
powers, apparently against Germany,
but in reality against the United States.
Il may prove comforting to know that,
according 10 the astrolOger, the stars
predict American supremacy in the con-
fict.

FRIDAY EVENING. JULY 10, 1907.

CHAIRMAN GARY, of the United
States Steel Corporation, before sailing
for Europe recently, gave it as his oPin-
ion that there would be falling off in
the volume Of business during the second
half Of this year. One factor in this
condition, he said, was the approach Of
the next presidential campaign, which
slaavg had the effect of curtailing or
dcrs. Another point, he said, was that
people had been doing too much bust
ness for the amount of money available,
and tina. railroads had found some diff
Guilty in securing necessary capital. TIE
increase in the volume Of money in the
world had not kept pace with the increase
in the volume Of business. He had
seen signs, also, of decrease in the
amount OF building activity, and be
thought that the numerous inyestigs-
Gons and exposures and radical agits-
ton OF the last year or two had tend
ency 10 make investors timid. If vic
lent agitation should continue, there
would be more and more money drawn
out Of productive employment. Never
theless, Judge Gary believed that the
exposure of financial corruption would
prove beneficial in the end. A contrac-
ton in business would not be wholly
undesirable, he concluded, as the coun-
try has been going at too high speed,
factories running overtime that they
might fll their orders.

it will be shipped to Paris. While
neither of the owners will talk, this
move Is taken to mean that the sale Of

ment has been completed.

REPORTS from all over the country
tell OF the intense heat Of yesterday and
OF the many deaths and prostratiOns re-
sulling therefrom. In New York there
were fifty deaths and fifteen hundred
prostrations in Philadelphia five deaths
and four thousand prostrations, while in
other cities the heat victims were num-
berless. Alexandria also sweltered, but
fortunately no deaths resulted from the
abnormal heat and humidity. Alexau-

BULL TREES POLICE CHIEF.

BULL TREES POLICE CHIEF.
To be chased through several broad
fields, across a creek and freed for ten
minutes by an angry bull was the ex-
perieDce of Chief of Police j. NJ. Lun-
gen, of Clifton Heights, Pa, yesterday.
The officer was enjoying picnic,
which was held on the Lukens farm in
Springfield township, and arrangement
were being made for a match game OF
quoits. So Lungen was delegated to go
into the adjoining field and get Wesley
Halton, who was to be his partner in
the game. As he neared the place
where Hatton stood the bull, owned by
Carroll Lukens, made dash after the
officer. The animal came forward with
his head lowered, too, ready for bust
ness. Realizing his dangerous predica-
ment, Lungen fastened toward the fence,
which he cleared with difficulty. The
top rail broke beneath his weight and
he fell heavily to the ground on the
opposite side, sustaining painful bruises.
The bull cleared the fence with ease,
however, and kept after Luugen. Reach
ing Darby creek, the officer plunged in
to the stream and swan to the opposite
shore. The bull followed his example (;
but before the animal reached shore the
officer succeeded in climbing safely into
tree. Snorling with rage, the bull
reached the tree and stood watch like a
bulldog, frequently gazing upward with
vicious look at the officer. Armed
with pitchfork, the owner of the bull
proceeded to the place where Lungen
was freed snd drove the animal back to

A report submitted by the women's
club. of Pittsburg that have been in
vestigating social conditions in that city
sets forth that so mad has the race
for social supremacy become that in the
East En6 many owners of houses worth
50 600 to $4,000, which they have
acquired after years of toll and saving,
are mortgsging them in order to buy
automobiles. So fearful are they OF be-
ing outsnonc by their neighbors that
they are resorting to the most reckless
extravaganza and trying to present the
appearance cf wealth on an income not
exceeding $3.50 month. Aud the re-
port concludes.
Something must be done, and done
quickly, TO prevent the women Of Pitts
burg from res0rtiDg to the means they
do to acquire social prestige in their get.
Mothers are neglecting their children,
and young wives driving their husbands
to the wall for the sake of the appear
ance of wealth.
The club women find that certain class
of women and girls, who have married
men receiving salaries from 800 to $3.50
a month, are gradually driving them
bankrupt. This is a bad state of affairs,
but such is not confined to Pittsburg.
II seems that msny people in every city
in the country are living beyond their
means and that autos are not entirely
responsible for this extravaganza.
