Yes, my dear"
And do you suppose you will re-
member to put on your overcoat if the
wind changes, so as not to catch one
of your dreaded colds?"
"Yese, my dear"
And you will try to remember that
you have plenty of clean collars, so
you needn't go about looking as If you
had no wife to see to you?"
Yes, my DEAR" said Mr.. Morse, as
he turned to take up his bag.
And, James" said Mrs. Morse, tear.

A TRIO OF WEALTHY PLUNGERS
REPORTED HEAVY LOSERS IN
UNION PACIFIC POOL,
Which Was Formed On Advice of
Hartman, After Helping Him In
Fight Against Fish.

Ney York, April lit was learned
that three of the heaviest losers in
the rich mans panic" in Wall street
are John Jacob Astor, Robert W. Goe-
let and Cornelius Vanderbilt. Their
aggregate losses are said to be be-
tween SS,000,000 and $9000,000. Ali
of the money was lost in the Union
Pacific stock on Tip" given them W
E. H. Hartman.
Colonel Astor and Mr.. Goelet are
both very rich, and Notwithstanding
the immensity of their losses their in
comes are not materially affected.
Both, however, are regarded as close
in the financial district and are said
to view the consequences of their
stock market plunge with sorrow and
chagrin.
Cornelius Vandrbilt is not nearly so
rich as the other two. He was prac'
tically disinherited because of his mar.
riage to Miss Grace Wilson. A set
tlement effected, by which Cornelius
got about $G,000,0O0. He had, it is
said about $S,OOO,OOO when he joined
the other two in the Union Pacific
speculation.
Mr.. Vanderbilt's share in the pool,
it is said was not quite as heavy as
Col. Astor's and Mr. Goelet's. His loss
is stated to be about $2,O00,000, and
the losses of the other two to be in
excess of $3,000,00O each.
The three society men are directors
of the Illinois Central railroad, having
been put into the board by Stuyvesant
Fish when he was president of that
road They were all personal friends
of Mr.. Fish and he counted on their
support when E. H. Hartman started
the campaign to drive him out of the
presidency of the railroad. The three
had always voted with Mr.. Fish up "a
June, 1906. Then they suddenly swung
over to Mr.. Hartman and voted with
him in all matters which that astute
financier brought up in the board
meetings, and which eliminated in
the deposition of Mr.. Fish in october
| last.

Preventing Suicide.

We commend to the Salvation Army
a method successfully used on would
be suicides for some years in Boston
by a citizen who has won a reputation
as a confidant of unfOrtunates, weak
lings and genteel paupcrs, says Boston
Herald When it is announced that a
case" is ready to tie the moose, or
jerk the trigger, or take the plunge,
or sip the dose, this mans face lights
up with curious interest When are
you going to do it," he asks. IF you
really mean to keep faith, want to
be there. | desire to see you do the
first sensible act of your life" The
INTENDED suicide, who expected TO be
pleaded with and saved" is hurt in
his pride and decides not to tie, jerk,
take or sip, but to live on and prove
that there are those who love him,
her, it. Nothing so palsies the hand
of selfdestruction as sudden and
unforeseen collapse of opposition, OBJ
stacle and grief Suicide is the apex
of conceit. The victim has a vast pity
for himself. Get his dander up, and
he's saved" 1t may be he will con-
tinue to be proud pauper, but at
least he has obviated a muss and a
funeral Approach all Nanki Poos in
the spirit of Koko and there will be
no call for the snickersnee or the
clothes-line.

IS SERIOUS, BUT SOLUTION RE
GARpED AS SIMPLE.
SULTAN is EXPECTED TO YIELD
All Claims Formulated BY the Com.
mander Of the French Armored
Cruiser Jeanne dare.

Paris, March 2S--In official quarters
here it is recognized that the Moroc'
can situation is serious, but, the con-
sensus of European opinion being ia.
VOrable to Frances action, a solution
OF the difficulties is regarded as being
very simple and not likely TO produces
complications
The sultan OF Morocco is expected
TO yield promptly all the claims form
ulated by the commander OF the
French armored cruiser Jeanne dare,
now at Tangier, so soon as he is con-
vinCed that the French attitude Is In.
flexible and that France has the unan.
imOus support Of the powers.
No news has reached the foreign
office relative to the occupation of
Oudja by the French troops.
A dispatch received from Gen. Liau-
tey, commander Of the column of oc'

of Spahis had been ordered to make
a forced march from Sidi-bel-Abbes,
Algeria, to Uudja. The Spahis can

RUDOLPH SPRECKELS
is BACKING THE INouIsIToRs-Is
READY TO SPEND
SIOO,OOOTOGET MEN "HIGRERUP"
Every Department of the City and
County Government Will &c Thor
oughIy Examined.

San Francisco, March S0.-Rudolph
Spreckels, who by backing the prose-
cution in the graft investigation with
his fortune made the present invest.-
cation possible, made a statement i'll
which he said:
Contributions from citizens TO the
fund of 100000 guaranteed by me be.
fore the commencement of the bribery
graft investigation are coming in
steadily, though slowly. They are in
amounts ranging from $50 to $1,000
and more.
IF it costs me more than 100000
to complete this prosecution that will
make no difference. Those engaged
i'll it will never be hampered by lack
of funds, no matter what the bill may
be.
The work of investigating will not
be suspended until every bit of rotten
ness has been fully exposed. We fully
expect to land in the penitentialy
every giver of bribes and the higher
up the offender the more vigorous
will be his pursuit. We do not, how
ever, expect to send evry bribe taker
to prison.
Some of the miserable men who
sold themselves to the corporations
must be granted immunity in eX-
change for their testimony which is
worth a great deal more to us as evi-
dence Of the guilt Of high corporation
officials than their own incarceration
would be.
Every department Of the city and
county gOvernn ent will be thoroughly
examined. the police department alons
with the others. No set Of officials will
be overlooked"
Since the Arrest of Abraham Ruef at
the Trocadero a month ago rumors
have been rife that an attempt would
be made to rescue him by force from
Elisor Biggy and his guards, either
during a session of court or while
Ruef was being taken TO or from
court.
An officer prominent in the bribery
graft investigation was asked if it is
not true that every person identified
with the prosecution is going armed,
and was questioned about the signifi-
canoe.
He said: Though I think the mat
ter should not be exploited, it is fact
that every man openly identified will.

of the more prominent of them are EN-

To duplicate the track of a large
American road would involve an ex-
penditure whose resulting yearly
charges would be very far from being
met by the added revenue for a long
time to come. AS matter of fact,
most of the railroads are, therefore,
duplicating their tracks slowly, says
Wolcott Drew in Moody's Magazine.
1t is, however not a question whether
enough is spent each year to keep a
road. already in good condition, up to
the previous normal standard, but
whether enough additional has been
expended to keep the road in the up-
to.date state demanded by the contin-
ually higher standard of living and ex-
peuditure in the whole country. A
striking example is seen in the South
ern Pacific. In 1902 a large broker
age house, interested in this stock,
estimated with an expenditure of $4O,'
100000 this road would be in a first
class physical condition and enabled
easily to pay dividends. 4 f0rty-mil'
lion-dollar issue of preferred stock
was actually made. But it has been
found necessary in the last four years,
in addition to this sum, to expend
nearly $9O,OOOOOO before the road has
been brought up to a firstclass con-
dition. 1t has now the rather large
bond capitalization of $4,000 pei
mile.

FOUR KILLED AT CROSSING.

tify them, but the men are believed,
from papers found in their pockets, 10
have been George Henry and II. Mon
ner, statesmen.
Trainmen say that the carriage
drove directly in front Of the engine,
although the electric bell at the cross
ing had been ringing several minutes.

diner, which were in the rear Of the
train, did not leave the track. Thf
occupants of these cars were prac
tically unframed.

BABY CAST INTO THE SEA
BY Its Crazy Mother, Who Attempted
to F6icw 1t.

New York, March 20-Crazed by i'll
ness, Mrs. Filomena Aquila, passen-
ger on the German steamer Koenig
Albert, which arrived from Naples,
hurled her yearOld baby into the sea,
while the ship was in mid-ocean. She
tried to leap over herself, but was
restrained.
The ship stopped and put back, and,
although she cruised around for an
hour, the body Of the infant could not
be found, so the voyage was cen
tinued.
A seaman saw the child fall, and
while the ship was being brought to
a stop hospital attendants found Mrs.
Aquila trying to force her body
through the portfolio. She was over
powered and placed under restraint
until the ship made port.
