 Is there more of tragedy or comedy in life? It depends on your point of view. The crowds that surge along the streets of a city answer that question in different ways There are round faces, thin faces, long faces, short faces, smiling faces, frowning faces-but each one mirror Of life, Standing on the outskirts of this human tide, summing up the sorrow and the giadness pictured there, an observer is constrained to remark.

Lunatic for Sure.

New York-Asserting that John D.
Rockefeller owed him $10,000,000, Or
lando Tolland of Oxford, Alabama,
called at the Presidents home at Oys-
ter-Bay yesterday to get aid to collect
his bill. He got a letter and is now
on his way to the Rockefeller home
with Theodore Roosevelt" at the bot
tom of a missive that ought to make
the oil magnate pay.
According to Mr. Toland he received
a contract from Mr.. Rockefeller some
twenty years ago whereby he was to
be paid $10,000,000 for solving MUIR
der mystery in st. Paul.
Then he wrote on to Rockefeller for
the $10,000,000, but did not get any
answer. Neither has he received any
answer to any of the 500 other duns
that he has sent the magnate since.
Two weeks ago it occurred to Toll
land that the President was the man
to make Rockefeller pay up. Straight
way he took freight train out of Ok
ford and went to Oyster Bay. He
walked the back road to the Presi-
dents mansion. He told his trifling
errand to Detective Adams.
''Wait a minute and I'll get the
President to write you letter to
Rockefeller that will bring him
straight to TERMS" said Adams, and
went inside and scribbled decoy note
himself "And if that don't get the
money" added Adams, come back
and we will get Mr.. Cortelyou to write
you one. He's even better at making
the trust men put up"
Tolland was profoundly grateful.
The detective led him to the depot,
put him aboard train for New York
and then burned up the telegraph
wires notifying the New York police
to catch him at the station and to put
an extra guard around the Rockefeller
house.

Company Wants State Land.

A quarter of million dollars has
been offered to the state land board
for $4,000 acres of state school land
near Pueblo. The land is wanted by
the Orlander Canal G Reservoir Com
pany for a gigantic irrigation enter
prise, which, if carried to completion,
will water hundreds of thousands of
acres of state land in Pueblo county.
The application was made to the
board at recent meeting. Owing to
the extent of the proposed transac-
ton, the board refused to take any ac-
ton until the members had had an
opportunity to inspect personally the
tracts involved. Within the next ten
days the board will make a trip to
Pueblo to determine for itseH the
value of the land, without depending
upon an appraiser for this informa-
ton.
Barney McCaffery of Denver is pres
ident of the company, which is
financed in Chicago and was organ
lied about year ago. McCaffery was
interested in the construction of the
water systems constructed in Utah
and elsewhere.
At the meeting yesterday McCaffery
was present; also George A. Snow Of
Chicago. They offered $3.50 per acre
for $4,000 acres.

Grief Pursues Mrs. currier.

Glenwood Springs, Colo. - Harry
James, the twelve-year-old son of Mrs.
j. Currier, has been missing since Sun
day and it is feared that he has been
drowned in the Grand river. Mrs. Cur
rier and her children live in camp In
the Grand canon, about a mile above
the camp Of the Central Colorado
Power Company at Shoshone. Her hus-
band was shot and killed few weeks
ago by the Oldest son. Sunday evening
Harry was sent down to the commits
sary at the power company's plant to
get loaf Of bread. Shortly after he
left, the horse which he was riding
came running back to camp.
About $50 of the workmen started to
search for him, but thus far in vain.
The only clew found was several
splotches Of blood on the rocks at the
rivers edge 1t is supposed that ths
horse threw the child, who fell into the
river after striking the rocks where
the blood stains were found.
Mrs. Currier has been pursued by
grief since coming to her present loca-
ton, little over two months ago. She
left Montrose with her children to get
away from a drunken husband A few
weeks ago her husband came over from
Montrose and began making threats
against her, at one time saying that he
would kill her and the family. He ap-
peared at their camp in the canon one
evening few days after and was shot
and killed by the son Frank, who was
exonerated from the charge by the cor
oner's jury.

ISLAND ROAD PROVES
FATAL.
ACTS LIKE DYNAMITE
ENGINE WAS CLIMBING GRADE,
WHEN TERRIFIC EXPLOSION
FOLLOWED.

Ramah, Colo.-With a roar that
could be heard for miles, the engine
pulling Rock Island passenger train
No. 5 exploded five miles west of
Ramah at o'clock Tuesday morning
Engineer Hartman was killed outright
and Fireman Crimberg so badly in
jured that he cannot recover. The
cause of the explosion is not known.
The powerful locomotive was lifted
from the track as if a piece of paper in
gale and hurled off the right of way
entirely. Particles of the engine were
picked up hundreds of feet from the
scene of the accident. 1t was com
pletely demolished.
Engineer Hartman was blown sew
enty feet by the force of the steam.
When picked up it was found that his
neck had been broken. The flesh on
his body was also badly cooked. Fire
man Chimberg was found nearly fifty
feet from the track in an opposite di.
rection. He Is horribly scalded and It
is believed he sustained several broken
bones as well as internal injuries from
the force Of the fall.
The train was west bound and 40
cording to the other members of the
crew, was barely moving. Whether
the slowness was due to any difficulty
in the operating of the locomotive or
on account Of the grade, which is quite
steep, has not been determined.
When the explosion occurred tho
train was thrown back several yards
and the passengers hurled from their
seats. None was injured, however
A physician on the train, aided by
DIR. Sullivan Of Ramah, administered
what temporary aid they could to Fire
man Crimberg and he was placed on a
special train and rushed to Colorado
Springs. One brakeman on the train
is said to have been slightly injured
Engineer Hartman was forty years
of age. His home was at Colorado
Springs, where wife and several chill
dren reside. His body was taken
there. Crimberg is also said to have
a family at Colorado Springs.

TURNS HUMAN BODIES TO STONE
italian Physician Claims to Have Dis
covered Powerful Chemical.

New York.-There is a possibility
that the chemist of fiction who discoy-
cred a chemical which would turn hu-
man organisms into marble, has ap-
peared In flesh and blood in the person
of Agostino Giuseppe Crosse, an Ttal-
Ian chemist, who is in this country to
demonstrate to scientists that he has
drug which will preserve and harden
to the consistency of stone, all kinds of
organisms. He arrived here on the
steamer Re Italia. If Crosse can do
what he claims is possible-and he has
some very convincing proofs of his
prowess in the shape of specimens
the method of preparing the bodies for
medical studies and for use in mu-
seums is likely to undergo a great
change.
Fourteen years ago, while in Peru,
Crosse had occasion to send case of
eggs to Ecuador. He had no way of
refrigerating the consignment and be.
gan experimenting with preservatives
He bored tiny holes in the eggs and
tried injecting various chemicals.
In trying one powerful drug, he in

eggs and few hours later found every
one of them as hard as rock. He con-
tinued his experiments on beef and
vegetables. The result was the same
with each trial.
The chemist went to Vercelli and be-
fore gathering of doctors gave Sc
ries of demonstrations. The body Of
dog was petrified in standing posi-
ton and the animal was made to look
as natural as life. Beetles, frogs,
snakes and other things were put
through the process, and, after being
petrified retained their lifelike appear
ance. In big box Crosse has several
specimens which he says are nearly
three years old. They include kitten,
a chicken, some frogs, lizards, beetles,
and the vital organs of other animals.
All are hard as If they had been frozen,
and in each case the original colors are
preserved.
The specimens are odorless, and the
transparency of certain tissues, when
held to the light, is not destroyed.
Crosse will shortly demonstrate his
discovery before a body of scientists.

LITTLE HARM ONY NOW EXISTS
Cortelyou's Ambition ana Taft's Not
Conducive of Perfect Accord
in the Cabinet.

Washington, D. G. Aug. 1S.-What
will be the effect OF vigorous pro-
secution of antitrust and anti-rebate
laws on the cabinet, is matter that
is being much talked here.
There are persistent reports OF a
split in the cabinet, but they are met
with official denials and cannot be
fully verified. There is not much
doubt that one wing of the cabinet
does not look with pleasure on Attor-
ney General Bonaparte's vigorous
announcements to the effect that he
will keep on with the trials of law
breakers, particularly of wealthy in
dividuals and corporations that have
been persistent law violators.
Secretary Root is understood to feel
that the administrations antitrust
policy is being carried too far. Secre.
tary Cortelyou is said to be of the
same mind.
On the other hand there appears no
doubt that the president will insist
upon the department of justice going
dnedu III us WOrk against CruSlS anu
against rebating with all reasonable
vigor, and that Secretary Taft also
feels this should be done.
Both the president and Secretary
Taft in their forthcoming speeches
are not expected to give Wall street
much comfort. 1t is hardly expected
that the differences in the cabinet will
extend to the point of designations of
either Secretary Root or Secretary
Cortelyou, but at the same time there
are evidences of such division OF
opinion that it might we'll come to
the point of disruption.
Aside from the difference caused by
the financial situation and the admin
istration's corporation and railroad
policies, there is always present Mr..
Taft's candidacy and Mr.. Cortelyou' S
own ambitions.
Another interesting phase of cabinet
matters relates to Secretary Metcalf.
The president is planning on re-
organization of the navy department
before his term ends, there is rea
son to believe that Secretary Metcalf
