Beauty In the AnsIeworm.

If there is any living thing that seems
to have nothing to relieve its ugliness
it is the angleworm that crawls slimily
across the sidewalk after heavy rain.
And yet even that is beautiful. Put a
bit of its upper skin under the, micro
scope and your ideas of the poor little
worm will change nightly. 1t SHIN
mers like the softest satin and spar
kles with all the colors of the rainbow,
for it is covered with little fine lines
crossing each other like the cuttings in
glass vase.

M after of Fact.

A visitor from London found in a
cafe at Rotterdam a Dutchman who
had been about bit and who spoke
English perfectly well.
This Dutchman was smoking a china
pipe of remarkable size and beauty,
and the Londoner, an admirer and col
lector Of such bric-a-brac, took the lib
erty to comment upon it.
you could not stumble upon a pipe
like that every day." said the English
man.
The Dutchman took three or four
whiffs at the pipe and then slowly re-
moved it from his mouth.
Certainly not without breaking IT,
he said, gravely.-London Chronicle.

The Smooth Handle.

Everything has two handles-one by
which it may be borne, another by
which it cannot. If your brother acts
unjustly, do not lay hold on the affair
by the handle of his injustice. for by
that it cannot be borne, but rather by
the opposite, that he is your brother,
that he was brought up with you, and
thus you will lay hold on it as it is to
be bOrne.-Epictetus

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.
Railroad Commissioner Believes 1t Is
Certain to Come.

Railroad Commissioner Believes It Is
Certain to Come.
Milwaukee, April 25-That the final
analysis of the railway rate problem
will be governmental ownership is the
belief Of John Barnes, president Of
Mr.. Barnes, in an address before the
Merchants and Manufacturers asso-
citation, said he did not favor govern
mental ownership, as under this condi-
tion the roads would not be operated
either as we'll or as economically as
under private hands, but he feared
that it might come to that in the end.
There were, he said, two other meth.
DDS: First, to permit the roads to
run their business as they please, and,
second, to have the rates controlled
by the government. The second he
believed to be the best for the coun-
try and it ought to be given a fair
trial before the proposition of govern
mental ownership was considered seri-
ously.
Railroads, he said, were wholly
monopolistic in their tendencies and
were strengthening themselves con-
stantly and it was time for the gov
ernment to step in and fix rates. If
this should not succeed in restoring
fairness in rates then there would be
nothing left but governmental owner
ship, even though it had serious dis
advantages.

REFUSES TO RETRACT.
President Reiterates Statement About
Meyer and Haywood.

President Reiterates Statement About
Meyer and Haywood.
Washington, April 25.-President
Roosevelt, in response to the demands
Of organized labor throughout the
country for a retraction of his state
ment that Meyer, Haywood and Debs,
labor leaders, are undesirable citizens,
wrote letter to HonOre Jaxon In
which he not only reiterated the state
ment, but denounced them as men who
"habitually appear as guilty of incite-
ment to or apology for bloodshed and
Violence"
The president declares that Meyer
and Haywood represent as thorough
ly an undesirable type Of citizenship
as can be found in the country"
He says that he is as profoundly
indierent to the condemnation Of the
rich class of undesirable citizens as
the poor class and that he stands for a
square deal for every one. He de-
olares that it Is highly improper to
endeavor to influence the course of
justice and points out that the sta
tionery on which the complaint of the
Chicago labor leaders was written
shows that this organization is at
tempting to bring about the acquittal
Of Meyer and Haywood regardless of
the question Of guilt or innocence.

CRIMINAL ACTION LIKELY
Evidence of Graft in Furnishing
Pennsylvania's Capitol.

Harrisburg, Pa, April 25.-As a re-
suit Of the investigation by the legis-
lative committee into the expenditure
OF $9,0O0,0O0 for furnishings and dec
orations for the new state capitol it is
probable that criminal proceedings
will be instituted by the state against
certain persons who have prominently
figured in the investigation. Both
Governor Stuart and Senator Fisher,
chairman of the Investigating COM
mittee, have declared their belief that
enough evidence has been brought out
to warrant such action. The gov
srnor, it is said, will lay the matter
before the attorney general as soon
as the commission has made it's final
report.
The commission has been investigat.
Ing the charges of extravaganza, over.
charges, duplication in payments of
bills and fraud for nearly two months
and has yet to take the testimony of
many important persons who have
knowledge Of the subject under in,
vestigation. Among those to be ex.
amined Is former Governor Penny
packer.
The investigating committee has
been assisted by large force Of au.
ditors in the employ of a New York
audit company. The report of these
auditors will be made shortly to the
commission and will cover much
ground that the commission was un-
able to touch through the calling of

in Lake Huron with her crew of six
men. A heavy sea prevailed on Lake
Huron for twenty-four hours The
Searchlight went out to her nets as
usual and was last sighted out in the
lake headed for port from the lifesav-

however, and when finally anxiety be-
gan to be felt for her safety the har-
Dor tug Johnston and the lifesaving
crew went out into the lake and spent
the night searching for some trace of
the missing tug. A number of fish
boxes which are supposed to have be-
1onged to the Searchlight were dis
covered floating and this is taken as
a certain indication that the tug has

Health Conditions on Canal Zone as

Good as They Ever Will Be.
Washington, April 25.-Health con-
ditions on the canal zone are about as
good now as they ever will be, ac-
cording to a report from Colonel Cor
gas, chief sanitary officer, just re-
ceived at the Offices Of the isthmian
canal commission. Since August last
the number of sick among the EN-.
ployes has steadily decreased until it
is now 1910 men per 1000, as against
1912 in August. This, in the opinion
of Colonel Gorgas, is an excellent sick
rate. Among 4,600 American (white)
employees there were only two deaths
from disease during the month of
March, rate of SIT per 1000. Among
1000 American women and children
living in the canal commission quar-
tiers there were no deaths and very
little sickness of any kind, as has been
the rule in the past. The negro en-
ployes show the highest mortality and
the American whites the smallest The
mortality from all causes for March
was: Negroes 1880, white employees
1859, American whites 1884 per 1000.

COMPROMISE IS LIKELY,

6rlSntef.
Washington, April 25.-A more hope

Central America, advices received by
the government leading to the belief
that a compromise yet will be effected
IN the negotiations now going on be-
tween Nicaragua, Honduras and Sal
vador Tuesday during the conferences
at the state department matters looked
impossible of adjustment except by
arbitration, but the announcement
was made that within twenty-four
hours some development might be ex-
pected. This has materialized in the
shape of dispatch from Philip Brown,
American charge of the legation at
Honduras, stating that everything now
seems to indicate an agreement in
principle. Senor Corea, the Nicarag-
uan minister, who had lengthy con-
ference with Assistant Secretary Ba-
con, expressed the belief that the
stumbling blocks to a complete agree.
ment will soon be swept away and
that peace will be re-established in the

LATTER's ACTION CRITICISED

Russian Emperor Questions Presiding
Officers lmpartiaIity in Permitting
Greater Freedom of Speech to the
Radical Members.
st. Petersburg, April 25.-The con-
hdants of M. Golovin, president Of the
lower house of parliament, are very
retlcent regarding the details of the
audience which he had with Emperor
Nicholas Tuesday, but it is learned
that the discussion was frank and
unreserved. The emperor spoke his
mind freely and showed himself to be
surprisingly we'll posted on the trans
actions in parliament, which is ex-
plained by the fact that he reads all
the reports on the subject every night.
The emperor criticised M. ~Golovin's
actions, questioning his impartiality in
allowing much more freedom to the
Radicals than to the Conservatives,
mentioning particularly several
speeches of NJ. Alexiensky, Social
Democrat, which his majesty said
should not have been permitted.
NJ Golovin, in his defense, pleaded
his difficult position as head of Rad
lea! parliament at the present time.
Various features of the ministerial
programme were discussed, but there
was no hint of dissolution Of par
lament and the difficulties between
Premier Stolypin and the lower house
were not mentioned, In the opinion
Of M. Golovin the reactionary cam
paign against parliament has not
made any headway with the emperor.
