Didn't Practice What He Preached.

Utica, N. Y-The Rev. Philip B.
Peabody, a sleek appearing clergyman,
aged forty-two, native of Batavia,
New York but recently engaged In
missionary work in Colorado and Wyo-
ming, preached in two local Episcopal
churches Sunday, and his eloquence
and general dignity mede such a pro-
found impression that Bishop Olmsted
set about arranging to have him sup
ply various pulpits in this Episcopal
diocese during the vacation period.
Tonight the Rev. Mr.. Peabody is a
prisoner at Utica jail, serving a term
of six months at hard labor for the
crime of larceny, which he confessed
1t is said he has swindled religious
bodies and merchants from the Allan
tic to the Pacific coast.
By profession the Rev" Mr.. Pea
body is clergyman, also a trained
nurse, but he doesn't work the for
mer business. excepting when it be-
hooves him to ingratiate himself with
those whom he would pluck. Then he
styles himself "The Rev. Philip B. Pea
body"
When he came to Utica with his wife
couple of weeks ago he produced Gre
dentials, which at the time appeared to
bear out his story of being a clergy
man in the East for a change of scenes
and he quickly ingratiated himself into
the condolences of the local ministers.
But it was not long before he had some
transactions that were not in his favor
and investigation proved him to be an
imposter.

LIFE INSURANCE A SACRED
TRUST.
Responsibilities Of Officers and d.
rectors.

Evidently President Kingsley of the
New York Life Insurance company
has learned the great lesson of the
times with respect to the responsible
ity and duty of directors of corpora
tions. Speaking to the new board of
trustees, on the occasion of his cleo
ton to the presidency, he emphasized
the fact that life insurance is more
than a private business, that life in
surance trustees are public servants,
charged at once with the obligations
OF public service and with the respon-
sibilities that attach to going bust
ness which at the same time must be
administered as trust
He also realizes that similar respon-
sibilities rest upon the officers Of the
company. Il understand" he says.
your anxiety in selecting the men
who are day by day to carry this bur-
den for you, who are to discharge this
trust in your behalf who are to ad-
minister for the benefit of the people

ders, but of the standards of efficiency,
the standards of faith. the standards
of integrity, which must be main
tained at all times by the man who
serves you and the policyholders in
this high office"
Best of all, perhaps, he feels that
words are cheap. and that the public
will be satisfied with nothing short of
performance. MY thanks. therefore,
he continues. for an honor which out
ranks any distinction within the reach
of my ambition, cannot be expressed
in words; they must be read out of

Ate a Lemon and May Die.

Colorado Springs, Colo.-Either par
alyzed or poisoned, John Murphy. six
ty-five years old, was picked up at the
head of a stairway at 1872 South TETON

Child Saved From Jaws of Lion.

Meeteetse, Wyo.-Mrs, Frank I,
fhayer. residing on a ranch on Wood

CHINESE THREATEN UNCLE SAM.
IlI-Will Of -Four Hundred Million Peo-
Pile Result Of Exclusion Law.

Mexico City.-The most aggressive
utterance that has come from the pen
of a Chinese concerning the United
States exclusion act is a document
written by Kong Yu Wei, the leader
of the Chinese reform movement. who
recently left this city for New York.
The letter was written to President
Roosevelt, seeking to enlist the Presi-
dents aid In revision of the present
laws. Just before leaving the city
last week Kong Yu Wei gave to the
Daily Record, an afternoon paper pub
lished here, a copy OF this letter, and
authorized its publication today. Mr..
Kong says:
Too rigid enforcement Of the ex'
clusion laws have brought about the
ill-will OF 100000 people. A united
Chinese nation will seek to assert Its
rights and avenge its wrongs. Its
anger will be vented in ways that
dread to think of.
The time will come when small
spark will start an uncomfortable con-
tween our people be severed beyond
remedy. Americans have been wont
to condemn Russian cruelty toward the
Jews. How much more humane has
been Americas treatment of the Chin
ese?
Can civilized America reconcile
such treatment of their fellow crea-
lures with divine law? Courtesy and
kindness should be reciprocal, but
what difference between the treat
ment Americans receive in China and
that accorded Chinese in America"
Among the notifications he sug-
gests to the exclusion law is the abol-
ishment of the Objectionable features
of identification, such as the photo
graph and the body marks; that no re-
striction as to ports of entry be made;
that certificates issued to Cinnamon
by Chinese chambers of commerce and
indorsed by American consuls should
entitle Chinese to free entry. He asks
that the same laws apply in the Phil
ippines and Hawaii.

corllerle, Under tho se..

At Cape Breton there are immense
colleries being worked under the
oceanA These submarine mines cover
q thousand acres, and are being in
creased steadily. The pines are en-
tered at the shore, and the operators
follow the vein beneath the water for
more than a mile. 1t might be ex.
pected that the weight of the water
would force its way into the mine.
The bed OF the ocean is as tight 40
cement cistern. A sort of fireclay
lines the submarine roof of the mine,
and the sediment above is held in
place and packed down by the water
pressure until there Is not a crevice
nor drop of water from overhead.

Laramie, Wyo.-William H. Hicks
former treasurer of this county. a
shortage of 81 900 in whose books was
discovered last week, was placed un-

four years and was checked out last
January being defeated at the last
election for the office of county clerk.
Hicks will be released on bond Ex-

I'VE cannot keep Grape-Nlts food in

1t is just the food l have been looking
for ever so long; something that l do
not have to stop to prepare and still is

Grape-Nuts is the most scientifically
fectly and completely cooked at the
factory and can be served at an in
stant's notice, either with rich cold
cream, or with hot milk if a hot dish
is desired. When milk or water is
used, a little sugar should be added.
but when cold cream is used alone
the natural grape-sugar, which can be
seen glistening on the granules, is suf-
ficiently sweet to satisfy the palate.
This grape-sugar is not poured over
the granules, as some people think.
but eXudes from the granules in the
process of manufacture, when the
starch of the grains is changed from
starch to grape-sugar by the process
of manufacture. This, in effect, is the
first act of digestion; therefore, Grape
Nuts food is pre-digested and is most
perfectly assimilated by the very
weakest stomach. There's a Rea-

important Irrigation Suit.

Fort Collins, Colo-The most impor.
tant irrigation suit that has been
started here in several years will come
before Judge Garrigues in Greeley,
when demurrers are argued in the suit
by the Larimer County No. 2 Irriga-
lion Company against all bitches in
The Poudre valley that have reservoir
water in addition to their flow from
the river.
Larimer County No. 2 Company,
which has one of the Oldest bitches In
the Poudre valley. claims that when
It's ditch was first built, that 1t had at
all times all the water 1t needed. Since
the building of reservoirs has been
under way the Larimer County No. 2
people say their supply has been an
nually growing smaller and that water
which should have come to them by
right has been Systematically diverted
by other companies and used in re-
claiming low prairie land.
Their belief is that this water has
in some way been manipulated as stor-
age water, when 1t should have been
available for use on Larimer County
No. 2 land. which forms the Harmony
district southeast of Fort Collins. Not
less than ten of the leading attorneys
of this city have been employed by
the various companies interested.
Some of the points raised by Lari-
mer County No. 2 are based upon de-
cisions in the kansas-Colorado case.
One of the principal points the attor-
MES hope to have definitely settled by
the court is the right to purchase land
with certain water rights and then
transfer the water to other land. This
question has not been settled by the
higher courts and has caused much
litigation

American Architecture.

American architecture has been a
medley of Yankee Doodle" THE Ar

ter the colonial period. which sSre us
fine specimens Of public and private
buildings, there followed two genera
tions of bad building, the result of
sudden growth. Taste had little place
in a country working night and day to
erect necessary shelter. That America
is advancing in all the arts is to be
expected The outlook for architec-
ture is especially hopeful. A commit
tee appointed by the American lnsti-
tutes of Architects has reported that,
''on the whole, architecture is being
taught in America with broader
view. and in certain respects more eff
fectively, than in any other country
There are reasons why this good
teaching will count in practice, thinks
Youths Companion. The architect diff
fers from other artists In that his

Increased respect for expert opinion.
Rich builders, individuals and corpora
tions, losing much of the arrogance
which money breeds toward all forms
of service, show disposition to give
the architect free hand to work out
his ideas. and not merely produce az
lareling what the patron orders. we
may look in another generation not
only for great art in public buildings
and costly dwellings, but for the re-
action of great things on little, for the
disappearance of the salmon-pink
dwelling beneath the jig-sawn porch
of which the American has erstwhile
been proud to sit. Finally, since archi-
lecture dependent on native materi-
al and landscape, is an Indigenous art,
It invites the architect, preeminently
among artists. to create original. ma
tive types. The future may produce
buildings of distinctively American
beauty.
