Jefferson in Koscfusco Coat and
other Relics in Fay Collection.
James Fay. an antiquarian among
whose art objects collectors have been
wont to delve and burrow, has placed
his entire collection on exhibition In the
former building Of the Harmony Club
In West Forty second street says the
New York Herald.
Among the paintings the most con-
spicuous s life-size portrait of Lin
coin in oils 1t Is well known that
Lincoln never sat for an oil portrait.
But this is by William Mathews, who
was the choirmaster Of the church that
Lincoln attended, and it Is assumed
that he had opportunities for making
sketches from which the portrait was
painted. For years 1t hung in the Cor
coran gallery. A marble bust Of Lin
coin was his own commission to G.
Lazzerenini, and was presented by Lin
coin to his friend, Morris Ketchum.
There Is a portrait Of Thomas Jeffer-
son wearing the fur-lined coat given
by Kosciusko.
From the Jumel mansion Is high,
curious combination Of secretary and
sideboard Of mahogany, with a falling
shelf and drawers and cupboards of
different sizes above and below. From
the Tuckerman house, In Washington,
Is d colonial couch, which Is vouched
for as the couch the pleasant duty of
which it was once to give casual repose
to the father of his country. An I'M
usual variant Of the Empire chair, but
called the washington chair" is seen
here. It's mark Is the gilded head Of
Washington, almost half lifesize, which
finishes each of the arms Of the chair.
Large square Jacobean and Flemish
clothes presses, oak chairs with the
crest Of Henry Clay and many similar
objects of curious and historic interest
complete the collection.

CAN PHOTOGRAPH THOUGHT.

Plate SO Sensitive that 1t Registers
the Mind Has Been Invented.
A photograph plate so sensitive 1t
registers thought has been Invented by
DR.. III. Travers Cole, Chicagoan.
This sensitized plate Of mysterious
composition will, when placed In utter
darkness near the forehead Of one man,
register his thoughts by pulsatlous OF
light, changes of color. and rhythmlcal
vibrations changing as his thoughts
change so that the rhythm and the
changes are easily perceptible by an
other.
1t Is a simple device, but 1t seems to
prove concluslvely that thought Is an
active force, like electricity; that every
thought has Its own form, color and
motion; and that the rhythm and color
Of thought sent out from the mind may
be recorded upon plate yet more high
ly sensitized, 80 that it may be read by
another long afterward.

further improvement, he believes that

the Supreme Court in affirming the de-
cision Of the District Court in Finney
County in the appeal of Ormal w.
Finch, says the Kansas City Times.
Finch was convicted Of manslaughter
In Ffnney County in 1904 and was SEN
fenced to a term in the penitentiary
for two years. He appealed to the Su-
preme Court in this case, and while at
liberty under a bond broke into a
house, was detected and convicted Of
burglary and larceny In 1905 and was
sentenced to fifteen years in the peni-
tentiary, the sentence to begin when
the former sentence expired He ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court on the
ground that there was no statute
which permitted cumulative sentences
except when tried for two offenses at
the same term Of court. The court
held that the two sentences were not
concurrent in an opinion Of Justice
Smith.
The points involved in the case are
much the same as those decided bv
Judge j. c. Pollock of the United
States Circuit Court In the Capt. Kirk
man case. Kirkman was convicted of
conduct unbecomng an officer in the
army by two distinct courts-martial.
He served one sentence and then tried
to get out Of the penitentiary under
habeas corpus on the ground that the
sentences were concurrent and not
cumulative.

BALL PLAYERS DIET TOO HEAVY
Chief of Pfttsburg Team to Try New
Plan to Cut Down Meals.

Ahh ~ tUt Down NJ eaIa.
In that 1t has been decided that base.
ball players eat too much Just because
they don't have to pay for 1t, Pitts
burg has decided on an innovation in
feeding It's ball team which may cause
change In the present system all
around. Players Of the Pittsburg bas Sc
ball team will be compelled to eat on
the European plan while on the road
this season instead Of getting their
food In job lots, as has been the GUS
tom heretofore
Barney Dreyfuss, chief Of the Pir-
ates, has seen the light. He says base
ball players eat too much when others
pay for 1t, and In consequence they do
not keep In the best of condition.
In an interview Dreyfuss Is quoted
as sayiny:
II think the players eat altogether
too much at MONDAY meals. Not that
there is any objection to the price, but
1t gets them out of condition.
Now, my Idea for the coming year Is
that the players be put up at some
good European plan hotel and allowed
to feed themselves. Give them So DER
day for food, which will be as much
as most Of them will want to spend.
and lot more than some Of them will
spend, l am convinced.
when a hungry ball player fall,
down before a menu card at an AmerI-
can hotel and knows he can eat every
thing on that card he is likely to eat
more than he should, especially IL he
is going to play ball that day.
Our idea is an experiment; II 1t
doesn't bring good results We will re-
turn to the old style Of gorgina"

HE MARKET DULL
 THOUGH NOT WEAK
Buyers Were Given to Hesitation and Trading was Confined to Narrow limits.

New York. Jan. IA dull and very heavy tone prevailed most of the day in the stock market. due to sympathy with the continued weakness in a handful of stocks. There was nothing like the general weakness of yesterday. The general list moved narrowly. The hesitating movement of the stock mar ket kept sentiment much confused. The syndicate has been dissolved which underwrote the last issue of the Erie cOntrovertible bonds. The de- tails of the transactions are lacking. but it is generally believed that the largest part of the issue proved u1- salable. v
 The rate for time loans for all pe- riods went to below six per cent. The action of copper for several days past indicated the yielding of easier spec ulative hopes of an increase in the dividend. There was only a momen- tary dip in the stock when the rate was announced unchanged. The close was irregular.

MORE POWER
 TO REGULATE
The President Will Prepare
 a New Message
Showing Where and How the Hands of His Commits sion Are Tied.

Washington, Jan. T.-Congress will be asked by the president to give the interstate commerce commission in- creased powers to deal with such emer- gencies as now existing with regard to shortage of cars. The commission already has submitted to the president a preliminary report of it's investiga- tions made in the northwest and will submit it's recommendations very soon. When these are ready the president will prepare a special message urging legislation. The president made this announcement today at a conference with Commissioner Knapp. Clements, Harlan, Clarke and four members of the executive committee of the National Reciprocal Demurrage convention re- gently held in Chicago.
 The president took deep interest in the committees appeal. His idea as expressed by one present was that whatever amendments to the interstate commerce act may be enacted they should not become operative until July 1st, when the railroads would have am pie opportunity to prepare for the changes.
 IHS iHteTsldte cOiiliileTce cOinillSSiOH- CTS unofficially say that their reconA mendatiOns to the president will include some form of recipocal demmurage so that the carrier may be penalized for delay in moving as we'll as the con signee for delay in unloading cars and probably some suggestions for an inter- change of cars. The president was told that because of a dispute between rail- road companies and consignees. 800 carloads of coal were held at Mime apOlis. and several hundred at Chicago. The president directed the commission to investigate.
