that on account Of the publicity of the
case the jury must be under constant
surveillance till the end of the trial.
He also ordered that artists should not
be allowed to sketch in court. The
jury is middle aged body Of men In
various callings, the defense having

Thus 1t became apparent that the de-

Theater Trust Men Indicted.
After taking testimony for week or
more the New York grand jury re-
turned an indictment against the mem
bers of the so called theatrical trust
namely, the firms Of Nixon & thinner
man, Klaw & Erlanger, Charles Froh-
man and Al Hayman. In obtaining
evidence against this combination the
Jury examined Belasco, Shubert, ia
,obs and other Independents. The
contract of the syndicate members
provides that no attraction shall be
booked in any of their SAT out Of 600
principal theaters In this country
which insists on playing In an opposi-
ton theater in any city where the
trust operates. This agreement was
entered in 1896 for five years and was
renewed for five years more. The
profits were to be pooled, and each
member got 20 per cent of the gross
receipts, while 80 per cent went to the
manager of the house, subject to
one-third rake-off to the syndicate.

Great Northern Prosecuted.
The stock of the Great Northern rail-
road declined sharply when it became
known in Wall street that the Mime
sofa attorney general, Young, had be-
gun action to compel the ST. Paul,
Minneapolis and Manitoba Railroad
company to show cause why It's char
ter should not be forfeited. The writ
was issued by the state supreme court
directing a return April 2. This Is
really the parent company of the Great
Northern, which absorbed 1t in 1890.
The complaint says that the Great
Northern has been guilty of stock
watering and that it should not be al
lowed to continue to pay dividends on
watered stock nor to create subsidiary
companies composed of its own stock
holders.

Street Car Rules of Rio.

There are first and second class
street cars, writes Albert Hale in the
Reader, and l, with a package in my
arms, had taken a first class bond as
a street car Is called in Rio de Janeiro.
Scarcely had l done so when the con-
ductor requested me to transfer to a
second class car whenever it might
come along, because no one Is allowed
to carry anything greater than O lap
satchel first class. SO l humbly de-
scended and had either to mix with
market women and sweaty laborers or
to take a tllbury. A tilbury, named
after the English maker who years
ago introduced 1t, is a curious two
wheeled. light springed cab, like an
old fashioned gig, and resembles a
hanson without the attachment for
the driver. He sits inside the tilbury.
A person without necktie Is no more
allowed first class on the street cars
than was 1 with my parcel. They are
decidedly particular In Brazil and in
herit many fastidlous ways from the
time Of the empire, when dress and

More Land For Gary City.
The steel trust has purchased $500
f.cres Of land, in addition to the $500
acres already held, as the site of the
new industrial city of Gary, Ind,
where the greatest steel plant in the
world Is to be established. This makes
the site of the city 5000 acres in Its

Railroad Employs a Forester.
The Pennsylvania railroad has en-
gagged the services of L. A. Sterling,
formerly of the agricultural depart
ment, as forester, this being the first
Instance of such an office In connec-
ton with an American railroad. I'm
der his guidance the planting of trees
Systematically on railroad lands Is ex-
pected to furnish the cross tie supply
Of future years, and the appointment
Of Sterling Is the result of Ave years
Of experiment, during which time
100000 trees have been planted OH
lands owned by the company. During
the next two years 6S1 acres near Al
toona, Pa, are to be planted with
chestnut and red oak seedlings. Every
year the Pennsylvania system requires
about 100000 ties, and the price has
rcSlched 20 cents apiece.
Private Flats on Steamers.
The Atlantic Transport line, whose
steamers ply between New York and
London, announce that its vessels will
soon be installed with complete private
apartments, similar to those in which
thousands of people in all our great
cities now live. These will differ from
the prevailing steamer suit In that
each will have private hall, bed
rooms, parlor, library, bath, etc. Each
fat will be thirty feet In length and
have width of fifteen feet, and the
windows will look out on deck. The
temporary tenants name will be on
the front door, and a bell will announce
callers. Each apartment will have an
electric heater, on which light meals
or the baby's milk can be prepared
after mother has finished curling her
hair. Complete meals, however, will
be served to order In each fiat one Of
the rooms being converted into din
Ing room.
Alcohol In Gasoline Engines.
Agricultural department bulletin No.
277, referring to recent extensive ex-
periments as to the economy and prac-
ticability of using denatured alcohol
in gasoline engines, many Of which
are already in use by farmers, says
that the fact has been established that
1t Is quite possible to use alcohol In
any engine designed for the use of
gasoline, although the use may be I'M
economical unless certain changes are
made in the vaporizing device and in
the compression pressure. Whether
the fuel Is gasoline or alcohol, it is
found that economy Is largely matter
Of adjustment, and the running cost
may be much decreased.

pecuIiarities of Napoleon.

Napoleon's father was topper, a man
utterly lacking in moral sensibility,
and his sisters were immodest and hys-
terical. According to DR.. Cabanas,
Pauline was particularly so. Napoleon
himself was exceedingly sensitive to
atmospheric changes, was headachey
and had auditory illusions. He had
twitchings of the arms, the shoulders
and the lips. He was at times the
most irritable of men, often being I'M
approachable. His mania for destruc-
ton was such that he whitfield pieces
of furniture, broke articles presented
to him, pinched babies while pretend
ing to caress them and took keen de-
light in shooting Josephine's rarest
birds. The slightest opposition threw
him into a paroxysm of rage. But in
a campaign all weaknesses vanished.
His pulse ranged ordinarily between
thirty and thirty-five beats q minute
and never went above fifty-five. The
usual pulse rate is about seventy-two
q minute.

Parchment

Parchment Is the skin of sheep or
other animals prepared in sheets to
render them fit for being written upon.
The heavier parchment, used for
drumheads. is made from skins of
asses, older calves, wolves and goats
All these are similarly prepared. The
skin, being freed from the hair, Is
placed In lime pit to cleanse it from
Fat. The pelt Is then stretched upon
frame, care being taken that the
surface Is free frem wrinkles. The
flesh Is then pared off with a circular
knife. 1t is then moistened and whit
ing spread over 1t. The workman then
with a large pumice stone rubs the
skin. He next goes over 1t with an
Iron instrument and rubs 1t carefully
with pumlce stone, without chalk. The
skin is gradually dried, tightening be-
ing occasionally required.

France Won't Tax Pianos.
The French senate refused to assent
to the chambers proposed tariff on

pie of modest means found it their

Holiday Crowds.

For some men 1T Is sufficient recrea.
ton to have no work. The moment
that the "knapsack of custom falls
from their backs they are happy. Not
to awake In the morning with the
thought of what must be done in the
day is in itself a sufficient recreation.
Naturally, they have no very definite
taste in holidays. They go where It
suits their purses or their wives or
their children. TO such men, though
they may spend all their working days
in the thick of 4 town, the sight of ma
ture never becomes a necessity. It Is
a luxury, an agreeable augmentation Of
the sense Of doing nothing. A holiday
maker Of this type very often goes to
watering place, one of those resorts
which it Is now the fashion for cult
waited people to despise. Such con-
tempt is affectation. A number of hap
py people create, no doubt, an exhlarat-
ing atmosphere. Well behaved pleas
ure seekers make an agreeable and
ever changing picture. A we'll kept
public garden, good band and fine
