Reports sent out from the centers
say that the Geographic strike has
but little effect on the news service.
The fellows who send the reports
out ought to acquaint themselves
with the situation outside of the
centers. SThey will find that the
strike is felt most where the news
is supposed to be received. There
is more to the strike than the COM
panies, representatives make out,
and the public is awakening to that
fact 1t is high time that the COM

REOkER CONFEssEs.

Capt. McCafferty and the central
Office men in New York who have been
working on the Elmhurst murder case
yesterday returned to New York pretty
well satisfied that the man who killed
the fifteen iear-old Staheldt girl in an
open field within sight of eleven houses
last Wednesday afternoon had been sp-
pretended.
A charge of homicide will be made
against Henry Becker, the suspect in
the case, when he comes up for ex-
animation Wednesday in the Flushing
Police Court. 1t is not believed, how
ever. that be will ever be brought to
trial, as he is regarded as q man OF
feeble intellect, and it is believed that
be committed the crime in an insane
frenzy due to his condition.
The officers came to this decision i'm
mediately after Becker admitted, while
riding to Mrs. Emily Simonson's house
in carriage, that he had killed the girl.
He was identified by Mrs. Simonson as
the mau with tbe white hat who washed his
bloody hands at her pump about half
an hour after the commission OF the MUIR
der.
Becker then made confession which
fits in with all the detectives have found
out about his movements on the day of
the murder. He was taken to the field
where the girls body was found.
He teld how he had struggled with
the girl, and fuslly struck her with a
stone on the back of the head 10 still her
cries, and then, seizing the knife with
which she had been digging dsndelions,
struck her twice with that weapon. He
also went over his tracks through the
cabbage patch, where he was seen by
Engel, and explained that he had only
net the second man, who he first al
legged had committed the crime, at the
gate to Mrs. Smonson's. They both
went in aud pumped water for eaci. other

Inspired by the climax of a thrilling
melodrama seen in thester last week
by herself and cousin, Lottie Dawson,
II years old, killed her cousin, Verns
Davis, aged IA at the home of the former

planned a trip together to Scranton's
Luna Park. Going 10 a bureau to show
her cousin the money she had for the trip.
L1ttie came across the fathers revolver.
Instantly she said they would "play
show" and rehesrse the scene they had
witness d at the thester. Assuming the
role of the villain, she called to her
cousin:
"Hold Stand back Advance another
step and you will die p
Pointing the revolver and pulling the
trigger there was a shot, and Verns fell
dead.
The mothers of the girls both swooned
as they hurried upstairs to learn what
was wrong. The Dawson girl, frantic
with grief, ran to her uncle's home,
where the police found her. She was
paroled in her uucle's care.

LONG ARM
1T MAY HEAD OFF A SOUTHERN
LUMBER COMBINATION.

NORFOLK. Va, August s.-The North
Carolina Pine Association, composed of the
leading lumber mill operators of Virginia,
eastern Maryland, North and South Caro-
lima Is in session at the jamestown ex-
position today considering, among other
things, the question Of closing the mills
Of the association for a period Of thirty
days or longer for the betterment of prices
and conditions generally, from the view
point of the lumber manufacturers OF the
south who are complaining Of an over
production Of lumber with depressed
prices. Even in the event of a majority
vote for the closing of the mills of the
association. as desired by the southern
members ii was declared by certain lead
ing members today that the mills will not
be bound and the operators in Virginia and
Maryland will. it was said. in all proba-
billy not close. The market IS good in
these territories and the millmen have no
desire to close.
Further, r. J. Camp. head of the Camp
mills In and about Franklin. Va, before
the association convened today. said that.
in view of the decision of Judge Lands
in the Standard OIL cases he would not
like to be a party to any combined eff
fort to control the lumber market by
closing the mills under united agree
ment.
Today's meeting was called by North
and South Carolina members Of the as
ISOLATION at meeting in Sumter. 5: c..
in July, WIN millmen of the Carolinas,
assembled there Independently, decided
to close their mills for the betterment of
prices.

CUNNING OF THE COYOTE.
His Patience and Some of His other
Peculiar Traits.

From the Outing Magazine.
This IS the coyote-co-yotay. with all
the syllables. to the Mexican who named
him: ''kiote" merely to the American
wanderer who has come and gone so often
that he at last regards himself a resident
stockman and farmer.
1t Is this little beasts triangular visage,
his sharp nose fitted for the easy investiga-
ton OF other peoples affairs. his oblique
green eyes with their squint Of cowardice
and perpetual hunger that should have a
place in the adornment Of escutcheons. It
is notorious that the vicissitudes of his belly
never bring to him the fate upon whose
verge he always lives and that nothing but
strychnine, and not always that, w bring
end to his forlorn career.
AS his gray back moves slowly along
above the reeds and coarse grass and he
turns his head to look at YOU he knows
O gun and you cannot know how he knows.
Once satisfied that you are unarmed. he
will remain near in spite Of any vocal re-
monstrances, and by and by may proceed
to interview you in a way that for unob-
trusiveness might be taken model Of
the art.
Lie down on the thick brown carpet Of
the wilderness and be still for twenty
minutes. and. watching him from the cor
ner of your eye. you will see that he has
been joined by others of his brethren
hitherto unseen. He seems to be curious
to know, first, If you are dead. and second,
II by any chance-and he lives upon chances
there is anything else in your neighbour
hood that he might find eatable.
If you pass on with Indifference, which
is the usual way, he will sit himself down
upon his tail on the nearest knoll and loll
his red tongue and leer at you as one with
whom he is half inclined to claim acquant-
ance. He looks and acts then so much
like a gray dog that one is inclined to
whistle to him. Make any hostile demon
stration and he will move little farther
and sit down again.
If by any means you manage to offend
him deeply at this juncture the chances
are that he and his comrades may retire
still farther and then bark ceaselessly
until they have hooted you out Of the
neighborhood. That night he and some
of his companions may come and steal
the straps from your saddle, the meat
from the frying pan-and politely clean the
pan-and even the boots from beside your
Iowly bed.

Bayberry candles have almost ceased to

bayberries should not be gathered until late
autumn, when all the leaves off the

Testing Bulls With Automobiles.

From Guadaajar Correspondence Mexican Herald.
That the automobile can be used with
great success in determining the courage of
Young bulls intended for the bull ring has
been demonstrated by Pedro Fernandez So
meliera Of his San Isidro hacienda, in this
state The novel experiment was made q
few days ago with a 22-horsepower car.
On all haciendas where fighting bulls are
raised the young animals are tested" with
a view to determining their future fitness
for the bull ring. Those that prove their
courage are marked and left to grow up for
future contests.
I'D to this time the tests have been con-
Quoted by men on horseback. armed with
pixies. like picadors. But Mr.. Someiera
who is an enthusiastic motorist. this year
decided on an innovation by introducing the
motor car In place OF the horseman. Ac-
cordingly, after the young bulls had been
herded into large corral the machine was
driven into the Enclosure. The occupants
were armed with the usual pixies.
The experiment proved an exciting sue
cess Several of the young bulls charged
the machine at mad speed. and 1t was only
by clever driving that the car and its oc-
cupants were kept clear of the horns of
the surprised and apparently indignant ami
mails.
The bulls that attempted to mix with the
automobile have been credited with eXcep-
tional bravery, and they expected to
bring fame to the San Isidro hacienda by
their future performances in the bull ring.
