YOUTHFUL CAROUSERS VANISH:
INVESTIGATION IS PUT OFF.
Police Unable to Round Up "a Single
Witness Ont of the Twenty Boys 10
Whom 1t Is Alleged Harry Coleman
Sold Liquor.

The investigation which was to have
taken place this morning with view
to revoking the saloon license of Harry
Coleman, whose place is located in
North Holman street, did not material
ize
When Chief of Police Rimbach and
Captain Peter Austgen assembled in
solemn conclave to open the investiga-
ton, all they could find to investigate
which had any connection with the
case, was themselves. The twenty wit
nesses had vanished into thin air.
Harry Coleman's saloon is the place
where it is alleged that twenty youths
of various ages, ranging from 16 to
10 years, were saturated last Monday
one of their number all but meeting his
death in consequence. Rem Brown
was the name of the youth who sc
narrowly escaped a fatal termination
to his over-free indulgence in beer anC
whisky.
| The police have been searching fol-
evidence ever since the occasion, blu
in spite of the fact that there were
twenty boys who had participated il
| the spree, they have been unable t.
round up a single witness. 1t is saiC
that the boys are hiding from thu
minions of the law.

IS BELIEVED TO
HAVE RESIGNED
Boorish Governor of Jamaica
Said to Have Given
Up His Job.

London. Jan. 26.-It is believed here
that Governor Swettenham Of ia
macia. has forwarded his resignation
to the colonial office. officials there
will not confirm nor deny the report. but
they admit having received kilograms
of a confidential character from the
governor.
It has been fully expected here that
a solution of the difficulty would be
found in Swettenham's resignation and
the reply to inquiries received at the
colonial office tended to confirm the
report that the governor had intfmated
his willingness to retire from his post
Both colonial and other government
officials admitted it is quite impossible
for Swettenham to continue in office
not only because of the incident in
volving the withdrawal of the Ameri-
can warships from Kingston, but also
on account of the protests against his
conduct received from the inhabitants
in Kingston.

Late in the evening a report spread

fellow-p passenger man worth at least
$20,000,000. When the opportunity
came l made inquiry of the porter of
my car, and he explained:
Oats what dey says, sab, but you

sab, but I can't say how much he am
with till in de mawnin'. Mebbe he's
with $20,000,0 900, and mebbe he hain't

After breakfast next morning the
porter beckoned me into the smoking
compartment, and with a broad smile
on his face, he said:
Dat story am all true, sah.''
"Then the man is worth $20,000,000
is hep"
"All dat and mebbe a heap mo-

CAR SITUATION IN GERMANY.

J. I. Britain, consul at Keh1, re-
ports that since the month of May the
German coal industry has been unable
to cope with the demand. The
greatest cause of the scarcity [of
carsl is the extraordinary activity in
the iron and steel industry. For the
first half of 1906 nearly 100000 more
cars of COAL coke and patent fuel
were delivered by the syndicate than
during the corresponding period of
last year, and the daily dispatch of
cars has frequently exceeded $1,000
In number. The Prussian State rail-
way authorities have been severely
criticised in consequence of the short
age of railway cars. Thus, during
June. although 221,991 more care We're
available than in June, 1906, the short
age amounted to nearly 1000 cars a
| day. But on the other hand it is
questioned even with this shortage
made good, if it would have been pos
sible to supply the demand. The
marked scarcity of cars at this time
| of the year is all the more disquiet-
| ing, since the farmers will shortly be
drawing heavily upon all available
railway rolling stock to move agri-
cultural produce. The result of this
deficit in the number of cars supplied
has been that in several collieries the
miners have been compelled tempo
rarily to stop work, a measure which
in these days OF high wages is 6
a costly matter

LIFE PERIODS OF READING
Appropriate Mental Pabuum for the
Ordinary individual.

Three authors a year, if well chosen,
will be enough for the average busi-
ness man to read, thinks Henri Mazel,
well-known French sociological
writer. This statement occurs in
book entitled What a man Must Read
In His Lifetime" Excluded from con-
sideration are the daily papers and
works required by ones profession or
business. From the Boston Traveller
we quote the writer's division Of a
mans life into periods with tho ap-
propriate subjects for reading:
THE program is laid out in life pc
RODS of seven years each. During the
first period from the age Of IS to that
of "a, poets and romances should be
read; the second, from % to 81, should
be consecrated to the great poets of
other lands, to the classics, to the an
clent historians; the third, from 80 to
SO, to the great antique poets, to mod
ern politics, to old chroniclers; the
fourth, from SO to 40, to our classic
poets and contemporary novelists, the
great philosophers and to the authors
of memoirs of recent centuries; the
fifth, from 46 to 81, to our great think
ers Of the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries, to the ancient philosophers
to recent authors of memoirs; the
sixth and last, SO to SO, to the highes
religious authors. Literary Digest.

The First House Clocks.

The very early house clocks, which
are the kind in which ordinary col
lectors are chiefly interested, were
called bird-cage or lantern clocks.
There were some of them very small
four or five inches high, and could be
hung on the bedpost, which was
where Catherine of Braganza had hers
and where Pepys saw it. He says in
his diary (1664: And her holy wa
ter at her head as she sleeps, with q
clock at her beds side, wherein g
lamp burns and tells her the time OIL
night at any time"
