DOG MEAT GOOD AS MUTTON.
Anthropologist Takes Colds to Visit
1gorroteS at Camp

CHICAGO, July 13.-"There Is not par
ticle of difference between eating dog and
eating mutton" said Professor Starr of the
University of Chicago, after a visit to the
Igorrotes al an amusement park with an
expedition of forty of the girls and young
men of the university.
I've shudder when the Igorrotes kill a
canine and eat it merely because we look
on it as something like killing and eating
a dear friend" he continued. "To a civil
lied man the dog is frequently closer than
a human friend, and to a half savage man
his four-footed companion is almost an
other self
II have never sampled dog meat but !
have seen many races of men eat 1t. and
they all seem to consider it good. It's only
fad. this not eating dog meat"
Special feats were performed by the Igor
rotes for the anthropogical expedition. The
girls in the party refused to go close to the
savages. A relocating contest, hunting
party and war dance were given.
Dog meat as medicine was tried yesterday
upon the chief of the Igorrotes, who has
been sick for months. The savages have
not so far been allowed to eat their favor
tie food. and 1t is thought this has sickened
the aged heather.

LONDON, July 13.-Baroness Won Eek

German imperial foreign office at London.
recently charge d'affairs of the German
embassy here and former secretary Of the
German legation at Washington, has been
granted judicial separation from her
husband on the ground of cruelty and
misconduct. The baroness. who is a daugh-
ter of Sir ]. BlundeH Maple, the we'll
known merchant of this city, testified that
the baron spent 81 ,O0O, O0O of her money in
leading fast life generally.
The baron, who arrived here from Ger
many on Monday, denied the charges
brought against him The crowds about
the court hooted the baron, who has ap-
Piled in the German courts for a divorce.
The baroness could only sue for judicial
separation here. as her husbands domicile
Is in Germany, and the British courts
grant divorces only when the husband S
home is in the United Kingdom.
The baroness is the daughter of the late
Sir Blundell Maple, who was a millionaire
furniture dealer in London. She was a
pretty and vivacious young woman and he
a handsome but impoverished, member of
an old German family They We're married
eleven years ago at ST. Adams, England,
but the union began badly. The journey
to London was short, but the bride left the
railroad carriage in tears account of an
early display of the bridegrooms violent
temper, of which she was to experience
much more in the course of the coming
years
Before he married Miss Maple the baron
had not 5000 a year of his own. but his
wifes allowance of 100000 a year was
quite inadequate to meet his demands.
Within four years of the marriage Sir
Blundell Maple had paid S750,O00 of his
on-in-law's debts and the baroness had
mortgaged tWo-thirds of her income for
life to save her husband from the bank
ruptcy court. Eckardstein's bad temper,
neglect and threats also made his wife's
life unbearable and ruined her health.

The Southern Pacific Toll.

In an opinion by Commissioner Lane rem
dered yesterday afternoon the interstate
commerce commission decided that the
Southern Pacific Company shall not charge
cents for toll for entering San Francisco
except in cases in which the toll Is actually
paid
The Southern Pacific reaches San Fran
cisco by two lines-the Ogden route, the
traffic by which is eerried from Oakland to
San Francisco, and the coast line. which
enters the city by all-rail route. The
water front of the city has its title in the
state OF California. and the state harbor
tolls upon merchandise passing over these
state premises. The Southern Pacific has
charged the same toll on freight which
reaches San Francisco by the all-ral route
on which the toll does not have to be paid
to the state.

OKLAHOMA CONSTITUTION.
Attorney General Says Objection Has
Been Filed Against Provisions.

Attorney General Bonaparte before leav-
ing Washington for the summer, wrote to
w. II. Murray. president OF the Oklahoma
constitutional convention. now in session,
saying that 1t Is not the part Of the ad-
ministration to inform the convention
whether 1t is turning out a constitution
that will meet the views of President
Roosevelt. The convention will have to
act without hint from the administration,
Mr. Bonaparte says. and the passing upon
the constitution will be an act the Presi-
dent will have to perform when it has been
ratified by the people. While 1t would not
be proper for the President to indicate his
views in advance, the Department of Jus
tice sends to Mr. Murray a list of a num-
Der of provisions in the constitution against
which serious objection has been filed at
the department. Mr.. Bonaparte indicates
however. that this must not be consid cred
as expressing an opinion.

All the early insurance companies made
the mistake of dividing its profits in tho
time of prosperity and reserving little or
nothing for the day of adversely. The Hart
ford experienced severe lesson in 1885.
when the great fire IN New York swept
away the entire capital of the company and
compelled the stockholders to sacrifice
nearly all their private wealth But the
losses were paid in full and the confidence
inspired by that policy increased the bust
ness of the company .many-fold. The Chi
cago fire In 1871 swept five Hartford insur-
ance companies out Of existence, but the
remainder paid every dollar of their losses
and did the same in Boston and Baltimore.
where great fires have occurred more

Nearly every FIRE insurance company has
life insurance company and bank con-
nected with it, managed by the same OFF,
Gals. Hartford invented accident insurance.
or at least organized the first company in
America.
First Newspaper Carrier.
The Rev. jeremiah Stocking of hartford
is said to have been the first newsboy or
newspaper carrier in the United States. He
began to deliver the Courant at the houses
of subscribers In Hartford and the subur-
ban towns early 1893. During the
twenty-five years following. according to
his own calculations, he travelled lJoo0
miles and crossed the Connecticut river
nearly 5000 times. Mr.. Stocking was an
Conn. December 1857. and his father, be-
ing a seafaring man. was away from home
most of the time. jeremiah ended his
"schoolin - suddenly in his ninth year He
went to sea. with his father. and continued
in that trade until he was twenty-one. when \.
he married and settled down To farming at
Glastonbury But he was a restless person
was Jeremiah, and couldn't stay stun, SO
he invented the business OF Carrying news
papers to the homes Of subscrpers-tht :
first rural delivery-in order that he might
be in motion and live in the sun ana air.
About 1901 jeremiah got religion and
became a halfway Covenanter. He was
a rantankerous sectariaG at.hrst, and when
first he began to preach denounced all other
denominations as Inventions OF the evil one.
But as he grew older his heart softened.
his views broadened and ne lived in charity
and goodwill with his neghbors of other
churches.
jeremiah Stocking had six sons; he gave
them all names beginning with the letter
g ard all of them entered the Christian
ministry in one denomination or another.
They Sophronius Stocking. Selah
Stocking. Scion Stocking, Sabura Stocking,
Septsmius Stocking and Sabinus Stocking.

Sunday School Convention.

Santuc. Ian. 2.-On Saturday
before. and fifth Sunday, all who
keep the record in their head to
this not distant date know the
world was enveloped in heavy iogs
and was very uniavorable for any
sort OF meeting. but Your CORES
pOndcnt 'hauled up" at Hebron
church to a meeting OF the Sunday
school convention. and there was
one. Not a failure, but almost. il
large numbers are the makers OF
good meetings. There were more
than two or three there and good
results NAV come from that meet
ing Yet. The meeting was quite in-
formal. There was little form to
do away with bigger. and may be
stiff form, and all of the red tape
part, if any there ever was. was cut
out. II it had not been. many Of
the small fry of laymen who said
something on the few subjects dis
cussed could not have said any
thing. The president was absent
on Saturday on account Of sick
ness the vice-president being also
absent, Rev. H. n. Ezell was elect
ed president pro. tenn. The sccre-
tary was on hand and the little in
formal meeting proceeded. Sun
day there was better attendance
and Rev. II. *. Ezell preached the
missionary sermon from the text
in Matt. 6:Io: "Thy kingdom come.
thy will be done on earth as it is
in heaven Aiter this collection
was taken for State EMISSIONS. This
amounted to 1881, which was very
good for so very small a congre-
CATION. The place for next meet
ing has not been decided. but NAV
be nearer next time.
The good people Of Hebron re-
ceived the little crowd OF visitors
cordially and gave them Christian
hospitality, and nothing can tower
over anything Christian. Even
tho mud may have risen up before
some and the Jog got between
them and Hebron. they missed one
OF the Christmas treats. There
were some young ladies there.-I
thought it was good to be there for
me.

but there was getting to be hot
times about that old Jug and no

Mr.. Sanders Position on Roads.

Mr.. Editor: AS a great many OF
my friends have been making in
quiry as to the best plan OF work
ing roads. want to state nv
views. | think the best plan TO
fix these bad places in the roads
is to shovel down on each end of
these places until the firm ground
is reached, and then rake out the
road bed for ten feet wide, fill
these with rocks, pack we'll with
sledge hammers. Then when con-
venient haul sand and throw on top
of the rocks. My opinion, Mr.. Ed
itor, is that our county is not able
to macadamize all the roads, but
it is able to macadamize mud holes
and bad places.
/ will state that our people are
burdened with taxation and think
that the tax levy ought to be re-
duced. I've been told that our
property has been valued highc:.
than usual. That should bring
4! out reduction Of the Levy.
Respectfully.
