CLARENCE DARROW
 QUIzzES ORCHARD
CHICAGO ATTORNEY KEEPS W.T. NESS UNDER FIRE OF CROSS EXAMINATION FOR OVER TWO HOURS WITHOUT MUCH RESULT

Boise. Idaho, December 13.-Clarence S. Darrow, the Chicago attorney who IS conducting the defense of George A. Pet tibone, kept Harry Orchard, the states chief witness, on the stand for two hours and half today endeavoring to dscredit his testimony. Cross-examination was rigid and Orchard was pictured as an ln- human monster, a murderer, bigamist perjurer, gambler. thief and incendiary. Darrow made little attempt to make the witness contradict himself.
 Only twice during the day did he try to confuse Orchard in regard to his testi- mony and each time he failed. Reading from the testimony of the Haywood trial, Darrow endeavored to make 1t appear that the witness had changed his state ments, but Orchard forced his questioner to read more of his testimony given be- fore. showing that his testimony had been the same at both trials Darrow laid par ticular emphasis on the fact that Orchard was a criminal before he became ac- quainted with Mover, Haywood and Pet tibone. After his cross-examination, on each of Orchards crimes before his trip to Denver in 1903, Darrow asked

..RIREMEN RESCUED
 BY PHYSICIANS
NoxIoUs CASES OVERCOME FIRE FIGHTERS AND THEY NEARLY LOSE THEIR LIVES BEFORE HELP COMES.

New York, December 13.-The novel sight of a score of physicians risking their lives in rescuing firemen from a burning building was presented in East Eighteenth street tonight when one of the six buildings of the Huyler Candy company manufactury was filled with deadly gases generated In some way by a fire which started among a pile of paper boxes. Fifteen fire fighters were overcome and of these three are in a critical condition. One, Vernon McKenna, 1t was said, could hardly survive the night The damage by fire was com paratively small.
 The fire broke out on the tenth floor and the first fireman to reach the spot dropped senseless. The building quickly filled with smoke, and at first 1t was believed that the firemen had been suffo- cated by smoke. This theory was upset upon the arrival of a corps of emergency hospital physicians. who recognized the presence of an obnoxious gas. The fire men succumbed so rapidly that their mates < srld not remove all. and then the phy- ms took hold, half carrying, half ag the senseless men from the

ing everything before him at the Ibex Inn The
Boy had resumed his alertness the Landlord his
assiduousness, and the man from the North had
lapsed into his former dazed silence.
The latter had vacated the Counts room fully
week before his temperance, far too long before
his arrival for the Boy to consider it item of
news with which to greet him.
About a week after the Counts return, the
Landlord came in a perturbed state of mind to the
man of the North, who sat in his stupid inane
way, looking out of the window into the valley be-
low, where some eagles were wheeling about their
quarry.
"I don't know what to make of it," he said,

"Well do, Landlord,-don't worry about it.
There's no trouble ahead for you. Keep quiet,
that is all you have to do. AS soon as the Count
is out of his room, want to go into it..

Strengthening himself up, the man of the North
looked fully two inches taller than his former
self.
murky, windy night came on apace, and the
red glare of the Ibex was early turned on the road
and valley below. 1t seemed to the Little Girl,
who, as her wont, went out on the terrace to
see the Boy put the lamps in place, that they
blinked and winked like real eyes. 1t frightened
her, she said,-it made her feel like something
awful was going to happen.
"It was just the little puffs of wind that now
and then struck them" the Boy explained
"rm glad of it," the Little Girl replied. "It
looked like the ibex was alive and knew some
thing, and was winking to somebody out in the
dark. And then too, something kept shiverin and
chatterin it's teeth up in the tree by thought

masculine assurance, "and you needn't be afraid

Where Woman Reigns
Supreme.

From celebrated Russian traveller, learn
very surprising things regarding the land of
the Ladakhs. In this faroff, out-of-the-way place,
there dwells community where women hold SUI
preme, unquestioned and imperious sway over
man.
The women of the Ladakha tribe, says Count
Notovitch far in advance, both in physical
graces and intelligence, of their semiciviliZed
sisters of other tribes and nations. Their figures
are of exquisite symmetry and grace The home
of these people being $4,000 feet above the level
of the sea, the rarity of the air gives them an
exceedingly clear complexion, of which they are
very proud. They have pretty mouths and beauti-
full teeth and their faces are continually wreathed
in smiles.
picturesque. They often combine filmy laces and
many-hued fabrics with handsome, though SOM
brecolored furs in the most bewitching fashion.
They know how to show off and heighten their
personal charms, and are extremely proud of their
dazzling white necks.
Quite opposite to the women are the men of this
tribe for never was there more ordinary col
lection of men than those who inhabit what is
know as Middle Thibet. They thin, stunted,
often hunch-backed, and have very small heads
set on badly sloping shoulders They have high
cheek bones, low, retreating foreheads, fiat noses
and enormous mouths.
In the matter of dress they are Indifferent as
the particular The care bestowed
upon their persons better be imagined than
described the Count says they never wash ex
cept by compulsion. There is a severe law sub
jecting to heavy fine if he does not wash
himself at least once a year.
The entirely subservient to. the rule of
the gentler sex. The women dictate the laws
which govern the community through the priests
who almost without exception, appointed by
themselves They decide any questions that arise
from disputes regarding taxes or other measures
enforced by law.
All this selfassertiveness on the part of woman
kind among the Ladakhs reaches its culminative
point in plurality of husbands, which is practced
to the fullest extent among these people. wife
has the unquestoned prerogative of taking unto
herself as many husbands as she pleases.

Of this discovery, the of the North said
nothing to the Landlord.
After six weeks absence, the Count returned,
merry and debonaire. He had never seen Monte
Carlo SO thronged with the rich, he said, and as
for himself, his winnings had been past all his
former experience, "and have had great deal of
experience" he laughed, displaying he stroked

AS they entered the hall, a strong gust of wind
blew the door fast behind them with slam that
made the men turn their heads and look sharply
in their direction.
"It's only the children explained the Landlord,
in answer to the query he saw their faces but
he looked reprovingy at the Boy.
Tt was the Little Girls custom to stay while
after supper in the hall. She liked to see the
ladies in their tourists garb their fur-trmmed
coats, jaunty caps and high-laced boots. Some
times they would give her part of the edewess
they had gathered, and talk to her about what
they had seen in the far-up dizzy heights they
had traversed, and sometimes they would let her
play with their alpine stocks But tonight she
went directly to her room.

knots that gowed in the big open fireplace at the
end of the hall. He was very loquacious, but his
listeners very silent. The from the North
was not among them, but standing near At
length he came nearer. There was pause in
the conversation, rather in the Counts mono

The Counts color changed, and he hesitated;

"Yes, my family were in Strengthened circum-

"a man can learn much while working in
mines" continued the man from the North, as if
he had not been interrupted ''much about metals,
and he can put the knowledge to good use or to
evil one like debasing the currency"
wave of crimson swept over the Counts cheek
and brow. "Counterfeiter Do you call a
