Lines written ON the death of little Vera and
Moore Wood:
Where are our little Vera and Verna;
We shall ace them here no more.
They have left a world of sorrow.
They have reached that golden shore.
We shall mourn and we shall miss them,
We can not forget the day
The angel came and took our darliugs,
Yes our little ones away.
Though we miss our little rosebuds,
1t is wrong to wish them here;
They were bright and shining jewels,
To their parents, gems most dear.
They would meet both storm and sunshine,
While drifting down the stream of time
But they've missed all care and sorrow,
They are in home sublime.
So fare you we'll, our little darlings
You have only gone before.
We know we'll meet orr little rosebuds
When we reach that golden shore.

PASSES AXLE GREASE
ON NATIVES AS COIN
Special to The Herald.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2S.-There
sailed from here yesterday the good
ship Billester loaded to the decks with
boxes of axle grease. 1t is bound for a
group OF islands in the South Pacific,
where the owner and captain, j. N.
Hopkins, hopes to clean up little for
tune.
Speaking of his plans Captain Hop
kins said:
"On my last voyage to these islands
L noticed that they were simply pesti-
lent with cokernuts-millions Of coker-
nuts, and every last one of them going
to rot.
81 tried to buy shipload, but the
peslSy negroes didn't know what money
was and wouldn't take it. 1 traded
some bits of iron and brass for couple
of tons of cokernuts, but the thing that
tickled them most was q couple of
boxes of axle grease. If I'd had more
of the stuff could have filed the boat
with cokernuts.
"Now I'm going back with the axle
grease, nd just watch me when come
back.
What do they do with it? Why eat
1t, mani"

UNIDENTIFIED MAN
IS KILLED BY CAR
Blinded by Dazzling Headlight, Victim
Steps in Front of Electric and
Is Ground Beneath the
Wheels

An unidentified man whose name is
supposed to be D. A. Lake was killed
by inbound Pasadena car No. 423 at
Also and Anderson streets at $3.50
o'clock last night. The man was cross
ing the track when the car bore down
upon him.
He was evidently blinded by the head
light and stumbled and fell. Before he
could recover the car had struck him
and hurled him from the track. The
car was at once stopped and the insen-
sible body of the man picked UP. An
ambulance from the receiving hospital
was telephoned for, but before it ar
rived he had died from his injuries.
The body was removed to Pierce
Bros morgue. A search of the body
revealed the name of D. A. Lake
punched in the sweat band of his hat,
and in an inside pocket was found an
order from the Associated Charities ad-
mitting d. A. Lake to the county hos
pital for treatment. 1t was reported
that the man lived at Also and Meyer
streets, but an inquiry there failed to
finG any one of that name.
The dead man is an American, poorly
dressed, and evidently laborer.

SALT LAKE CITY, April ga
strike was declared on the street car
lines of the Utah Light & Railway
company today, 450 men walking out.
Numerous scenes of disorder followed
attempts made by the company during
the morning TO operate few cars with
non-union crews and all efforts to
maintain partial service were soon
abandoned.
Determination was reached to strike
by the men shortly before 4 o'clock
this morning after a long meeting in
Electrical Workers hall. The vote in
favor of strike was unanimous, over
300 of the 450 motormen and conductors
casting their vote. other employees of

preston that a complete understand

reached.
The scenes of disorder that marked
the beginning of the strike took place
on Main street, between Brigham and
Second South. The leaders Of the
demonstrations against the men who
were trying to operate the cars were
strike sympathizers, mostly half grown
boys and irresponsible men. Hundreds
most of them were spectators. The
weapons used were mostly eggs and
these were thrown by dozens of men.
The strike sympathizers also cut troll
ley pole ropes and in some instances
dragged the non-union motormen off
the cars The police seemed powerless.
An end - the disturbances was ac-
complished when the car marked

action and towed the other cars back
to the barns. No attempt was made
to molest the mail car.
In spite of the liveliness of the
demonstration against the non-union-
ists no one was seriously hurt. Joseph
Jones, the special deputy sheriff, re-
ceived rougher treatment, perhaps,
than any of those who were operating
or guarding the cars. He was sur
rounded by mob and when he drew
a pistol his weapon was wrested from
him. He was saved from serious in

PASTOR ADOPTS
YOUNG WHITE PIG
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 2S.-Father
Urban Stanowski, pastor of st. Stanis-
laus' Polish Roman Catholic church,
has become foster parent and guardian
of a little white pig, not yet a week
old, which he is raising "on the bot
tle."
The pig was born Saturday and dur
ing the night his mother died. She
was the property of one of Father
Stanowski's parishioners, who knew
his pastors fondness for all animals
So he brought the orphan to the priests
house, the pig at that time being half
dead from cold and hunger.
Father Stanowsh at once set to
work to save the little fellows life. He
was wrapped up and fed with warm
milk and he quickly revived. Now he
is as lively as a cricket and perfectly
at home in Father Stanowskts study.
When he Is not sleeping or eating,
the wee pig, which is perfectly white,
runs about the study, with many
squeak, investigating the mysteries
back of the bookcases and underneath
tables and desks. He is gravely fol-
lowed by Caesar a gigantic Great
Dane dog, who looks at the small new
conner with judicial gravity, as if he
intended constituting himself its pro-
tector, even if he cannot quite make
out what kind of a strange dog the

PATCHOGUE, L. L, April 25.-Capt.
Bill Graham, editor, sportsman, guide,
philosopher and what not, is being
hailed today as millionaire. Accord
ing to his own story printed in his own
paper, The Log, he has fallen heir to
SO, 100000.
Just before the new year Graham re-
ceived a clipping from Cape Town
newspaper, dated June 8, 1906, which
asked whether one Iilliam Graham,
once of Belfast remembered one Owen
Bradley, who met him one very cold
morning in 1880 and asked him for
money to buy food
The clipping asked William Graham
to put himself in communication with
Wells & Glassup, attorneys at law,
Cape Town, South Africa, as vast for
tune awaited him.
Capt. Graham says he wrote at once.
After a reasonable time Mr.. Graham
says he received a letter acknowledging
the existence of the fortune and the
probability that he is the heir, but ask
ing for proof of Identification. Wells &
Glassup wrote that Bradley was part
ner of Cecil Rhodes and made his money
i'm association with that genius. Gra-
ham has, besides letters from Owen
Bradley, a miniature portrait of Brad
leys mother, which Bradley gave to
him for safe keeping.

TO DO YOUR LINEN
WHILE YOU SLEEP

NEW YORK, April 2S.-Following in
the footsteps of such nocturnal metro
politan institutions as the all night
restaurants, the open all night barber
shop and the day and night bank New
York is soon to have an ell night laun-
dry. Unlike the open all night eating
places, tonsorial shop and bank, how
ever, the open all night l9undry will
come to you instead of compelling you
to seek it.
This new moontime idea comes out
of the west, where 1t grew up ahead
of the country. Evolved by several
western business men the idea has met
with considerable local encouragement
among two or three Wall treet brok-
erage firms, including that of Mrs. j.
Alden Gaylord.
With the final adjustment of the
financial side of the proportion, which
probably will be made about the end
OF this week, there will follow at once
the introduction and exploitation To-
cally OF the idea. This working all
night laundry. as 1t probably will be
known, will be operated along the lines
of the carpet cleaning apparatus now
in use in this city.
All the laundry apparatus will be
contained In wagons. The process Of
cleaning will be along new lines, it is
said, and will be speedy and efficient.
When a person fishes his laundry
done up" while he sleeps all he will
have to do will be to call up the all
night laundry's headquarters and a
wagon will be sent TO his address
whore the required work will be done
'instantaneously," according to the
prospectus.

NEW PORTFOLIO
IS SUGGESTED
DR.. WILEY FOR SECRETARY OF
PUBLIC HEALTH
Drug and other interests May
Be Arrayed Against American
Medical Association in
the Fight
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON April 2S.-There is a
powerful movement on foot to make
Harvey w. Wiley, chief chemist Of the
department of agriculture, a member
of the presidents cabinet. The advo-
Gates of a new portfolio would place
DR.. Wiley at the head of department
of public health.
The movement is said to be backed
which has enlisted with it pure food
advocates and those who believe in the
general government taking charge Of
quarantine and inspection regulations.
1t is regarded as likely that the Amer
lean Medical association, which is a
power in politics and public affairs,
will begin a crusade for the election of
DIR. Wiley at it's annual convention in
Atlantic City this summer.
DR.. Wiley, as chief chemist for the
agricultural department, has carried
on for years almost single handed the
fight for pure food legislation. The in
terests arrayed against him were pow
erful and he was forced to maintain a
continuous warfare with the strongest
lobbyists that Washington boasts. The
credit for the passage Of comprehen-
SiVe pure food measure is due almost
entirely to DIR. Wiley's efforts, for he
declined to acknowledge defeat and
bade defiance to those who sought tC
obstruct the Introduction of mis- bills.
The advocates of the new department
of public health contend that there is
nothing more important than the proper
execution Of the various statutes franz
ed for the conservation of the we'll
being of American citizens. At the
present time the enforcement of exist
ing laws is scattered among a number
of departments, with the result that
nothing like concerted action is possi-
BILE. The treasury, the agricultural and
the department of commerce and labor
have to deal with cases coming under
certain of these laws, while even the
war department is empowered to en-
force certain statutes.
There is certain to be decided fight
made by the whisky, drug and other
interests that have been fighting DIR.
Wiley. This fight will begin just as
soon as some definite action is taken
looking to the launching of a boom of
the chief chemist, and it will be prose-
cuted vigorously. All of Dr. Wiley's
battles before will seem like summer
picnics in comparison and a bitter war
fare probably will break out with quiet
but determined skirmishing as soon as
the SiXtieth congress gathers.
