KELSEY REFUSES TO
 RESIGN HIS OFFICE
SUPERINTENDENT OF INSURANCE OF STATE OF. NEW YORK WILL NOT AccEDE TO REQUEST OF GOVERNOR HUGHES.

Albany, N. Y, February 17.-Otto KeI- sey, superintendent of insurance for the state of New York, in a. letter to Gov ernor Hughes, has declined to accede to the governors request that he resign his office to which he was appointed In May of last year by Governor Higgins. Superintendent Kelsey made public to- night his letter to Governor Hughes. It is dated February 12, but was withheld from publication in the suspension of mat ters following the death of ex-Governor Higgins.
 Governor Hughes tonight declined to in- dlcate what would be his next step in the matter.
 That Governor Hughes will send to the senate probably on Tuesday morning a special message recommending the re- moval from office of State Superintendent Otto Kelsey Is now confidently expected.
 The attitude of the senate toward the governors expected recommendation is the subject of much conjecture, and Is wholly problematical. The chief feature of uncertainty lies in the question of the attitude of the nineteen democratic sen ators A conflict between the senate and the executive would be fraught with far reaching legislative and political conse- uuenceS

King Leopold the Accursed.

From the Reader Magazine.
 Cardinal Gibbons is quoted in an inter view as saying that his connection with missions gives him such information as to enable him to say that Leopold is "a wise and humane ruler" This is too little for the cardinal to say. or too much. Leopold is either three million times murderer, the most consummate fiend of modern times, man whose misers greed has led him coldly to more atrocities than the heat of war should incite tiger to, or he is basely slandered. In the one case the cardinal may well blush to have been heard in his defense. In the other, the mere statement of any man, however eminent and respected, cannot clear the bIackened name. In the meantime the world is likely to go on believing that the cardinal is mistaken, and that the pitlful wall from the Congo is, like the cry which once arose against the Sultan. Abdul the Damned" true call to the great heart of mankind for succor from Leopold the Accursed.

Newspaper Advertising.

The author of the Autobiography of a Business Man." in the February Every bodys, says:
 "t9or a number of years l advertised only in my windows and In some of the street cars. because l did not feel that I could afford to advertise in the daily papers. Two years ago last SeptemDer I was having a cravenette coat sale, and I succeeded in selling for a couple of weeks agout fifty coats day. l thought I would try column ad. In one of the evening papers The next day this column ad. appeared in one of the evening papers, and, by the bye, 1t was not the one that has the largest circula- ton in Chicago; I selected the paper that this ad. appeared in because they gave me O low rate, but they agreed to give my ad. q good position In the paper. The result was that the next day the sales, which formerly had been about fifty coats a day jumped to 142, and in fifty days sold over $500 raincoats.
 .'For the year following that sale continued to avertise in this one paper. Last fall I felt that I could afford to invest, say, about $5000 in advertising In some of the other papers, l used three morning papers and three evening pa pers. the best in Chicago. The results nave been something phenomenal. l did not have to invest $5000. The profits came back from the newspaper advertising be- fore their bills came in, and 1 do not figure today that I have a dollar in- vested in advertising. In my opinion the only way to advertise is to give them plain, common sense talk. Tell them the truth. Do not get a customer to come to your store and find that you have faked him. for that is poor adyer- Using, besides being dishonesty

MINISTER SCORES
 MORMON CHURCH.
Anti-MormOn Mass Meeting in
 Washington Church
POLYGAMY IS DENOUNCED
Dr. w. w. Paden Says Prophet Acquisces in Continuation of Crime Against God and Man.
 Senator Knox Criticised.

Washington, February T.-Polygamy was scored, and President Joseph Smith and the leaders of the Mormon church in Utah were denounced by the Rev. pr. ". w. Paden, pastor of the First Presby- terian church of Salt Lake City, at an anti-Mormon mass meeting which was held at the Metropolitan Memorial Meth odist Episcopal church in this city to- night under the auspices of the National League of Womans organizations.
 General Paden presented the Gentiles' side of the Mormon controversy and de- clared that the law-abidng citizens of Utah will take the Senate's action if Senator Shoot is allowed to retain his seat as an endorsement of the policy of polygamous living
 He declared that the federal constitu- tion of 1862 against bigamy in the terri tories had never been executed. The law is defective, he said, in that 1t made no provision against the crime of -polyga- nous living.
 No law against polygamy is worth the paper on which it is written" continued the speaker, unless it also deals with polygamous cohabitation. We cannot to- day prove Joseph Smith a polygamist, but only that he is polygamous cohabi- tator."
 The speaker said President Joseph Smith and several apostles of the church have had children born to them by their plural wives since the manifesto prohib- iting polygamous living was issued
 Throughout his speech pr. Paden re- ferred to Senator Shoot as "Reed Shoot, apostle, prophet, seer, revelator of the Mormon church.
 In conclusion, Dr. Paden said
 This toleration of polygamous living means the toleration of polygamy, the toleration of adultery with religious sane tion.
 Reed Shoot is in harmony with the quorum to which he is subject when he acquiesces in the continuation of this crime against God and man. But can it be possible that Senator Knox is in har- mony with his constituency in Pennsyl- vania, in harmony with the morals and will of the people of the United States, when he becomes the devils advocate be- fore the Senate of the United States and makes plea for the constitution of polygamous living as he did?'
 Rev. Dr. Frank Bristol and Miss Mar garet Daniels, both of this city, criticised Senator Knox's attitude.

 After Hinlens had eaten his supper and done sthe evening chores about his place he put his kit under his arm and started on the seven-mile tramp through the woods to Houpt. There was considerable snow on the ground. the thermometer was lowering about the zero mark, and the sky was clear and brilliant with stars.

Biggest Drop Curtain.

From the New York Times
 Arthur Voegtlin is painting for the Hip podrome what is said to be the largest drop curtain in the world, to take the place of the red oval curtain which hangs in front of the arena.
 The curtain Is to be 166 feet long and forty feet high, so the artist and his as- sistants have been obliged to paint nearly 1000 square feet of surface. It is planned to initiate an old tapestry. The scene is entitled "A Roman Garden" and the cur tain weighs approximately ton.

 Thirty men residing in and around Tex ola went to the depot Wednesday bent on confiscating a fine car of coal att tached to freight train on the siding. When the train men returned from din- ner at Martins hotel the conductor was informed of the wishes of the thirty men in no uncertain tones The conductor po- litely asked where they wanted the car of coal set. and gaining this information. he sald "All right. boys" He gave the engineer the high ball." and his train went out of town like a bat out of the lower regions. The assistant depot agent went along to turn the switch so the train did not have to stop this side of Shamrock when once started. The boys got cold where the chicken got the hatchet but no coal.
