Reed evidently came from Portland
for the sole purpose OF committing the
deed, as the dead woman received a
letter from him on Monday saying
that he was coming and when be did

new AGREEMENT PROPOSED
WILL BRIDGE OVER TARIFF DIFF.
FERENCES WITH GERMANY,
UNTIL CONGRESS ACTS.

Washington, March 11.-As a result
of consultations between Secretary
Root and Director North, the head of
the American tariff expert commission
which visited Germany, relative to the
making of some tariff arrangements
between the two countries, it may be
stated that the conclusion has been
reached that before the expiration of
the German order suspending for a
year the application of the German
maximum tariff rates to American i'm
ports on July next, new arrange
ment will have been made which will
bridge over the period of time be-
tween that date and the reassembling
of the next congress. The basis for
the new agreement will be section 8
of the Dingley act, under the terms OF
which the president is authorized to
grant reductions of duties on certain
commodities in return for the mini.
mum tariff rates of other countries
BY the time congress meets again H.
is probable that a general trade or
reciprocity treaty will be ready for it's
action.

STRIKE OF ELECTRICIAN IN THE
FRENCH CAPITAL ASSUMES
SERIOUS ASPECT.
THREATENS TO SPREAD FURTHER
OF PRINCIPAL LINE
OF TRANSPORTATION MAY e.
JOIN STRIKERS.

Paris, March 1.-THE strike of cleo.
tricians has assumed serious aspect
The men employed by the two remain
ing independent companies have
Joined those already out and unless
the dispute is settled Immediately it
is feared that the workmen Of the gas
company and the employees of the Met
ropolitan Underground railroad, on
which the majority of the population
relies for transportation, will be in
duced to leave their work in sympathy
with the strikers.
Not since the siege of Paris in 1876
has the city been plunged in such
darkness as the past night and the
affair, coming without warning, has
aroused the most intense resentment.
In addition to the inconvenience re-
sulting from the closing of places Of
amusement and the stopping of boule-
ward and cafe life, which is q feature
Of Paris, the business interests of the
capital are keenly alarmed at the pros
pect of heavy material losses. If the
strike continues the stores will be
obliged to close at dusk, many of the
workshops and manufactures will be
compelled to shut down on account of
the lack Of motive power and the for
eign visitors, On whom the hotels and
many tradespeople largely subsist,
will be driven away. The newspa-
pers, with the exception of the out and
out socialist organs, severely condemn
the strike and insist that the govern
ment should intervene and compel the
parties to the dispute to reach a
prompt settlement.

automobiles we're set up in front of
the newspaper Offices to furnish the
power necessary to run off the after

VICTORY FOR UN|oN|STS
INDIANA JUDGE RENDERS DECi.
SION IN PRESBYTERIAN
CONTROVERSY.

Evansville, Ind, March 11.-Judge
Gilchrist of the superior court has
rendered decision in the Presby.
terrain church union controversy in
which the unionists won an over
whelming victory.
The decision was on two cases, one
from Washington, Ind, in which the
anti-unionists sued for possession of
church property, and the other from
Vincennes, Ind, in which the union
lists ask for an injunction to prevent
the anti-unionists from interfering
with their possession Of the property.
The issue turned upon the legality
of the union and the constitutional
right of the two Presbyterian churches
to enter into the union. In an elab.
crate decision the judge recounts the
history of the many Presbyterian I'M
ions in the past 200 years and decides
that such uniform action amounts to
an adherent constitutional right to
form any union that the churches
might adopt, if action is taken in
conformity with their own law.
This he decided has been done in
every particular in these two cases.

The Left Hand.

1t Is strange that so strong a preju-
dice against the left hand has lived and
Increased for centuries when there Is
no natural or physiological reason for
1t. Examination Of the skeleton Of q
person who was strong, healthy and
we'll formed in life shows that the
bones Of the left hand and arm are Just
as large and capable as those Of the
right. The study of physiology shows,
too, that the muscles and llgaments
and carriages that fastened that per-
sons arms to his body and gave them
the power Of motion were made to do
their work just as we'll on one side Of
the body as on the other. If the left
side was the weaker, 1t was because Of
the failure to exercise it as freely as
the Other.-Scrap Book.

Gold the First Metal Used.

Gold was probably the first metal
known to man because it is generally
found native. The oldest metallic OBJ
jects to which we can assign a proba-
Nagada, in Egypt, supposed to have
been that Of King Menes. In one Of
the chambers were some bits Of gold
and bead, button and fine wire
Of nearly pure copper. If the tomb
was properly identified, these objects
were at least $500 years old at the
time Of their discovery. Nearly all Of
the ancient gold that has been exam
ined contains enough silver to give it a
light color. 1t was gathered by the an
clients in the bed of the Pactolus and
other streams Of Asia Minor
