Governor Pleased the Crowd.
In his reference TO the public
schools the governor won lots OF aD-
plause for insisting that they be not
employed entirely to fit boys and
the girls for the so-called higher
education. but more for practical af-
fairs of life, such as agriculture,
horticulture. domestic science, etc.
II more boys learned grating trees,
there would be less grating of fees.
If more girls learned to cook there
would be fewer divorce suits filed.

WHEN YOU EAT BREAD
II it's our baking you eat bread

COURT ROOM CROWDED.

New yenire Had To BE Drawn In
SchmitE Case.
San Francisco. May 23.-Five hun
dred persons today thronged the audi
torium room of the Jewish synagogue
to which place Judge DUNES depart
ment of the superior court mas peen
removed for the trial of Mayor Eugene
Schmitz on the charge of extortion.
The examination of talesmen in an eff
fort to secure a jury was taken up
without delay.
w. j. Barnard. retired govern
ment clerk said he did not think that
the confession of guilt by Ruef neces-
sarily showed the guilt of Schmitz
Barnard was challenged by the de-
Tense. The State resisted and the chal-
lenge was not allowed. The juror en-
tered the box as the fourth to be Sc
lected subject to peremptory chal-
lenge.
James Fitelberg, a furniture dealer
was passed by both sides without chal-
lenge, the fifth juror to be tentatively
accepted.
Henry ]. Morton, hardware dealer,
was extensively examined by Attor-
ney Campbell for tine defense. Morton
said he considered Schmitz to be guilty
and based his opinion on the fact that
the mayor had been indicted by a grand
jury composed of creditable men. Nor
ton thought nevertheless that he could
give a fair and impartial trial to him.
AS the result of a spirited colo
guy between Mr.. Campbell and Mr.
Morton. the juror was challenged for
cause by the defense. The prosecu-
ton resisted the challenge and Judge
Dunn, in refusing to set Morton aside,
remarked: This man ought to be con-
sidered an Intelligent juror"
The state announced that 1t desired
to exercise no peremptory challenges
against the six talesmen remaining in
the box The defense peremptorily
challenged Morton and Barnard. The
other four were accepted finally.
Judge Dunno ordered another venire
for fifty talesmen, returnable at 10
O'Clock tomorrow morning.

reached his side, what did that dog do
but turn a somersault. stand on his

cap the whole disgraceful performance
he showed unmistakable signs of wish

Old Lady Faints Away.
Then the old lady tainted.
The man who so overcome Percivars
sense of dignity was Thomas Gibbons.
better known in Great harrington as
Hosea Gibbons, who has about the
same power over dogs that the profess
sional hypnotist exercises over his fol-
lowmen.
Gibbons has had this power for years
and keeps a dog named Fido on which
he practices from time to time. Fido
has been made to do anything from
writing a letter to walking tiRht-
rope and when under the influence or
his masters mind he has been known
to pay no more attention to a disres-
spectful cat than If she were made OF
stone.
Gibbons simply smiles when you ask
him where he gets his power and
what 1t really is. He doesn't know
himself how he got 1t. he says.
Never a summer passes in Great Bar
rington but there is sport for those
who are on" when Gibbons "intiu-

mystification and distrust of the
stranger.
Recently Gibbons made an expert

greatest conceivable dignity.

Gibbons walked up TO the Abbess and
made some passes before her eyes.
Then he stroked her head and temples
for a few minutes. The dog stood per-
fectly still and inside of a minute she

Gibbons took the spell off. the Abbess
was a cracking fine bird dog. and
when. at Gibbons command. she ran
about in the scrub brush and presently
pointed a covey of quail. her master
threw up his hands, He whistled to
her and called her. coaxed and com
manded her but to every voice but
Gibbons she was as unresponslVe as
wood.
Having convinced the Dane that she
had done her whole duty in the matter
of the quail Gibbons pointed out to
her that another dog-which none but
himself and the Abbess could see-was
making disparaging remarks about her
and boasting that he could lick her

With a mighty roar the Dane sprang

on the ground. Now she could be seen
to make a try for her opponents throat

Finally Gibbons called to her ana

A remarkable feature of official
figures just compiled of the number
of stockholders of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Comnany is that Fl OPS of the
total number of 45,496 are women. The
total is the largest in the company's
history and twice as many as 1t had
been years ago.
In 1904 there were 44,396 stockhoi-
ders. but these dropped to 40. 400 in 1906
as a result of liquidation because of
fears engendered by the company's
large increases in capital to carry out
,ts vast scheme of improvements In

figures, however show that this loss
was much more than made up by small
investors buying in the March panic.
