EMBEzzLER Is ARRESTED.
CONFIDENTIAL Clerk Detected Whe
He Pockets Money.

Confidential Clerk Detected When
He Pockets Money.
Confessing he had stolen an amount
now estimated at 100000 from the stock
exchange firm of James H. Oliphant &
Co., 20 Broad street, New York. for
which he had been confidential manager
for six years, George II. Brouwer was ar
rested in his home in Brooklyn and plac-
ed under $4,000 bail. The basis for the
indictment was not Brouwer's peculations
from the Oliphsnt firm, but for convert
ing to his own account the proceeds OF
check for S2.750 which should have been
turned over TO Jay f. Carlisle, member
OF the stock exchange. Mr.. Carlisle Is
wealthy and is a son-in-law of Robert
A. Pinkerton, who died last month. Al
though there was report that the EN-
bezzlement would amount TO S20O,OoO,
this was denied by James II. Oliphant.
When Mr.. Carlisle was about to go to
Europe this summer he confded many of
his affairs to Brouwer, among them the
negotiations for the sale of farm in the
Berkshires. 1t was the understanding
that II the farm were disposed OF the
proceeds should be turned over by Brou-
wer to the Oliphant firm and accredited to
Mr.. Cariisle's account. The farm was
sold by Brouwer and a check for the
price, S2,7J0, was received by him. In
stead, however. Of turning over this check
to the firm, he Endorsed 1t and put the
cash In bis pocket. Mr.. Carlisle did not
return from abroad until recently, and 1t
was only a few days ago that he began
an accounting of his affairs with Brou-
ver. Then he learned that the price Of
the farm was not to his credit. When he
asked Brouwer about it the truth came
out. With this admission Brouwer made
the confession that he had taken other
money from Mr.. Carlisle and that he had
robbed the Oliphant firm as well.

OCEAN RECORDS SMASHED.
Lusitanfa Crosses the Atlantic In
Four Days and Twenty Hours.


Four Days and Twenty Hours.
The giant turbine steamship Lusi-
tania is queen of the ocean. She cross
ed the Atlantic in a little over four
days and fifteen hours, beating all rec
ords from shore to shore and wrench
ing from the Germans the honor Of
having the ship that can ride the seas
at the fastest average number of miles
per hour.
The new record bearer takes about
nine hours and a half off her own rec
ord, made on her maiden voyage from
Daunt's Rock to the bar at Sandy
Hook, and made the run at nearly
twenty-five knots for each hour of the
voyage. Thus in every way she is to
be accredited as the fastest ocean
steamship in the world.
With this achievement the Cunard
Line and England capture from Ger
many the eagerly sought record for
possessing the fleetest ship on the At
lantic. The Hamburg-American liner
Deutschland has held the record for a
number of years Steamship men also
claim that the achievement of the Lusi-
tania proves the superiority of turbine
engines over the reciprocating type.
The Lusitania on this trip captures
practically ali transatlantic records.
Her best days run, 619 knots, was nine
knots better than the former record

daughter. His supposed signature on a
note for 100000 figured in the case
and for some time remained an ele-
ment of mystery.
Circumstances indicated that Mrs.
Chadwick was formerly Elizabeth Big
ley of Woodstock, Ont, and that under
the name of Nine. Deyere she had
served term in the Ohio penitentiary
for forgery. When released from pris-
on ehhad made the acquaintance of
DR.. Chadwick, of Cleveland, and had
been married to him. The physician,
it appeared, was unaware of her finan-
cial duplicity.
Mrs. Chadwick was arrested in the
Holland House, New York, and was
extradited to Ohio, where she was
tried and convicted on March IL, 1905.
She was sentenced to ten years in
prison.

Stringency in money market conditions,
delay in movement of some leading sreps
TO market and unseasonably warm weatk-
er in some sections have operated to check
the fullest development of wholesale trade
for next year and of retail trade in sea-

ever, that western, southwestern and
southern jobbers report an increased vel
ume of recorder business, indicating that
country merchants have had prosperous
fall season so far, and that early eon-

found in the greatly enhanced values and
almost certain markets abroad for sur

WANT SALARIES RAISED.
Increased Cost of Living Cause
Many Quitting the Ministry.



Members of the Methodist Episcopal
conference of the State of Iowa want
their salaries raised II This 4 NOT done
religious work in the State may be seri-
ously handicapped 1t is reported that IN
the DeS MOineS conference, thirty.Seven
out of the two hundred and seventeen pull
pits will be vacant because of low sal
aries. Increased cost of living Is the
cause. During the last four years, sal
aries have been advanced about 800 each
year, but this advance has not been in
keeping with the increase in the cost of
living. This is the reason ministers are
forsaking their pulpits and seeking other
fields of endeavor where more money can
be made. They claim that the cost of
living is so high that they cannot exist
on the same salaries which they received
a couple of years ago. In Indiana the
cost of living has increased as it has else
where, and the same trouble is reported
by the Methodist church. In Illinois
the conditions are not so bad as they are
in Iowa. Many ministers, however, have
forsaken their pulpits there according to
reports from the various conferences of
the church. The Methodist ministers of
the Rock River conference want a salary
of $1,000 year fixed as a minimum.

bacillus of typhoid may be carried for
years after an attack of the disease with
out any apparent inconvenience to the pa

fact. Kutscher, a German expert, is
quoted as saying that about 4 per cent of
the typhoid patients become chronic ear
riers of typhoid bacilH. Although snch
persons may be in good health, they may
infect those with whom they come in con

case of cook who had served in several

typhoid II was known that the cook
herself had suffered an attack of the same
disease formerly and an enforced exam

Cancer Among Meat-Eaters.
The results of two years exhaustive
study of cancer in the city of Chicago
by DIR. Cooke Adams Of London have lust
been made public in a report of the city
health department 1t says that DIR. Ad-
ans has proved that diet is a most i'm
portant factor in the increase Of diseases
and in the death rate. In the last seven
years Of 5S,S35 deaths among the Chi
oagoborn from all causes there were ITS
due TO cancer. In the same period there
were 81 900 deaths from all causes among
| foreigI-born inhabitants lover one-third
of the total population) and 4,463 of these
deaths were due to cancer. DIR. Adams
says that his statistical investigations in
Europe and the United States corroborate
his earlier Australian observations, show
| ing an alarming increase in the death
rate from cancer among foreign-born In
habitants, who depend largely upon meats
of inferior character for their food. DR..
Adams says that 50 per cent of the stock
held for slaughter upon being condemned
by the inspectors finally enters the mar
ket either as fresh meat or in the form
of meat products, and is largely consum-
ed BY the foreign poor. He says there
cannot be the slightest doubt that great
increase in cancer among these people
over the prevalence of that disease In their
native countries is due 30 the increased
consumption of animal foods, and espe-
eially those derived from diseased ami
mails.

Artificial Hearing Instruments Sent
to Deaf Queen and King.
Three sets of artificial hearing instru-
ments have been shipped from New York
to Buckingham Palace, London, for the
use of King Edward and Queen Alexan-
dra. The latter has long suffered from
deafness, but the fact that King Edward
is hard of hearing will be great sur
prise to the public generally.
The instruments have been made SO as
to enable the king and queen to talk to-
gether without the use of trumpet. The
ransmitter, or sound concentration, will be
attached to the clothing of the couple.
The sounds are focused on the concentrate
or in the same manner that the rays OF
the sun are focused by means OF an

Eyes of All on Teams.

When they vent into the arena. Tiger
and Cub, the eyes of So.00U,OO0 people
in the United States were upon them.
Besides the sport-loying people of other
countries were watching the outcome of
the combat which was to decide the SUI
premacy of the greatest sport in the
pastime of nations.
Confronted in the Chicago ball park
by more than $4,000 persons, the Cubs
and Tigers met in the first game. 1t
was a Titanic struggle Both fought
with all the courage and determination
that they possessed. The Cubs had
worlds supremacy, and it Is seldom
that either a whipped mar or beast
comes back to resume combat with 4
rush and determination which Will car
~ them to victory.
The Tigers were growing savagely
and were openly charging that the
Cubs, magnificent baseball team as they
were, did not have the courage and
stamina to carry them through Cruel
ing contest for championship honors.
The Cubs growled their defiance and
the first battle was on. 1t was mag
nifcent struggle and ended in a tie
ganlt This is the best that the Tigers
got during the entire series.
Four I'm Row for Cubs.
The next four games went to the
Cubs, who would not be denied. They
simply played with Jennings dreaded
menagerie. They cuffed and kicked
| them about as they pleased They out
ran them on the bases. They out
thought them. They outhit them, and
they played in such whirlwind fash
ion that the Tigers were utterly GeWil'
dered and forced to admit that they
could not stand the onslaught
1t is seldom that team Is beaten in
such a decisive manner as Hugh, Jen-
nings' Tigers were. While the Cubs
have won the championship of the
world, Jennings should not be robbed
of the credit which is due him. He
| took team which was only fail
| team before his advent and made II q
contender for worlds honors. Chance
did the same thing with his team. He
traded and strengthened them up until
they were the best in the National
League He tried for worlds honors
as has Jennings, and lost. Nothing
dismayed him and he tried again, and
now has won. There is hope for Jen-
nings, because his career follows that
of his younger rival Chance.
