I have convinced many thou sands of people that these things are so, and the number is growing by leaps and bounds" Among more recent converts to MT. Cooper's beliefs is MT. Edgar L.

 Hurriedly she and Charley resumed their way np the wolf haunted bottom. over rocks, through puddles. into pig my forests of cherry and plum. But now, careless of lost time, Dallas ran with backward looks and frequent haltings, giving strict heed to the whereabouts of those behind.
 They had travelled good distance when she judged that the savages were nearing the burial place, that the the time for her ruse was come. Let ting the outcast go on, she paused for breath then lifted her voice and sent back through the night long, inviting call

 Every breath was saving at her sore lungs. She tottered, pitched forward and went down.
 It was then that Charley pointed to the front and as if to a vantage place. Dallas looked and saw at the end of sheer walls an oblong opening of gray 1sh light. She hailed it dumbly.

PRIESTS CALM STRIKERS
Removal of Troops and Police
Averts Conflicts in Belfast
Mr.. BurrelI, Irish Secretary, Says the
Government is Fully Alive to the
Religious Troubles.

Belfast, lreland.--An experiment
was tried in the strike of dock la-
borers and carriers to prevent a recur-
renee Of the rioting in which troops
Hred on the mob and killed three per-
sons.
While the city bristled with bayo-
nets all day, it was announced that
The authorities had decided to keep
both the police and troops outside the
disturbed area, the priests having
agreed to look after the people. The
priests declared they. could maintain,
order more effectively than the sol
liers il the hated ''Peelers and Lob
sters," as the police and soldiers are
called, were kept out Of sight.
The troops and police withdrew.
The experiment worked with much
marked success. While there was
much ef%fervescence among the strik-
ers, no actual outbreak took place.
Large and excited crowds collected
and assumed threatening attitudes,
but the exhortations Of the priests
and other p~eacemakers prevailed, and
the streets of Belfast were practically,
deserted.
Joseph Devlin, Nationalist mem
Der of the House OF Commons for
Belfast, assisted the priests in pa
trolling the disturbed area, urging
the people to Keep the peace. At the
same time the troops were held in
readiness in their barracks.
The Belfast Trades Council has en-
rolled a special body Of men de-
scribed as Trade Union Police" who
assisted the priests in preserving or
der. Their efforts were successful.
In the meanwhile Sir Antony Pat
rick mcdonnell, Under Secretary to
the Lord Lieutenant Of Ireland, has
been in conference with the local Of
ficials and the labor leaders with the
view Of arranging a settlement of the
disputed points, and another confer
ence has been held for the same pur-
pose between the master carriers and
representatives Of the men.
London.-When questioned in the
House of Commons the Irish Secre-
tary, Mr.. Birrell, said:
THE Government is fully alive to
the urgency Of this matter, and is
doing all it can to secure a settlement
Of this most unfortunate strike"
In the trouble at Belfast a cleav-
age on religioas.lines was. developed.
The Protestants cheered and sup
ported the troops, while the attack;
Ing parties apparently were COM
posed of Catholics.
It is pointed out that British SOL
diers have not been called upon to
Gre on British subjects in the United
Kingdom since the strike at the
Featherstone e%ollieries, fourteen
years ago.

Boston's Cosmopolitanism.

Modern Boston is an illustration
of the persistence of a civic tradition.
In no city in the United States has
the change Of population, owing to
unrestricted immigration, been so
startling during the last generation.
The city of the Puritans has become
cosmopolitan. Were Cotton Mather
to come to life again and revisit his
haunts in the North End, even his
linguistic requirements would be
severely tested in finding his way
about. And yet, though the popula-
ton has SO largely changed, the type
remains.-From Samuel NJ. Crother's
Outdoor Boston," in the Century.

Artificial eamphor.

Chemists in Europe are now max
ing a pretty good Imitation of cam
phor out of a substance extracted
from turpentine. Their product Is
not a perfect reproduction Of the true
article, as is synthetic" indigo,
but it will serve some Of the
same purposes as the fragrant
gum of Formosa. Celluloid, Tor
instance, is composed largely OF
camphor and gun cotton, and IT Is
said that synthetic" camphor IAN be
used in making that compound. In=
asmuch as the imitation cannot yet
be produced cheaply, it is not finding
a large sale, but in time 1t Is to be
hoped that it's cost will be greatly
reduced. If the process Of manufac-
ture should then be sufficiently ;im-
proved to make artificial camphor
chemically identical with the CAM
phor of nature, there will be occasion
for wide rejoicing.

ROCKEFELLER'S DAUGHTER
TELLS FAMILY HISTORY
Says John DIS Father is AliYe and in
Good Health. =:

Chicago.-Much to the surprise OF
her friends, Mrs. Harold Fowler Nc
Cormick, daughter of John D. Rookie.
Teller, consented to discuss family, af-
fairs. She said she was led to do so
by attacks on her father which had
imputed to him unworthy motives
with regard to the disappearance OF

us it true that your grandfather
is alive?" was asked.
II have seen my grandfather on
many occasions" she replied. He
is one of the most interesting men
I have lei known. l can emember
the fascinating tales he would tell
his children and grandchildren when
1 was very young. 1t is some years
since l have seen him. Because of
asthma, from which he suffered, he
was. frequently away from his wife
and children. These periods: he
| would spend in travel. He sought
dry climates and for amusement
hunted and fshed.

father there has always existed the
respect and love that should prevail
| between father and SOL. My grand
| father watched with the keenest in
| terest the successes Of his son. My
| father and the other children were
never happier than when their father
visited them"
Mrs. Mccormick then explained
why she did not know the present
residence of her grandfather.
Il hardly see just why my grand
fathers presence interests the pub
! lie" she said. II myself do not know
| where he is" she said finally.
When asked whether it was not
strange that members OF his family
should be in ignorance of his resi-
dence she replied:
: "No, it is not strange. According
to his own request his whereabouts
are kept secret. 1t is a matter which
is never discussed, even in the family
circle"
lis it true" she was asked, shat

methods in business or his treatment
Of his father, Is responsible for this
desire for seclusion?"
mo; that does not necessarily fol-
low" she said, land it is not the case.
At least, it is a great exaggeration OF
the truth" Mrs. Mccormick inti-
mated that her grandfather's health
was responsible in a large degree for
his being out Of range Of the public
eye. .
Financially, my grandfather needs
no assistance" she said. IF he
should wish my father to give him
money, I am sure he would get it,
l would not have said what l have
this afternoon had I not felt that II
was time to make known the truth
, about my father. I am quite sure ne
will be somewhat put out about it
but, then, he will know I did 1t be-
cause I love him"
Mrs. Mccormick would not say how
recently she had seen her grand
father, but asserted that the family
heard of him from time to time. She
ascribed much of the present criticism
to her uncle, Frank Rockefeller.

NATION ALL WRONG,
DECLARES ROCKEFELLER
Says Roosevelt Administration Is Destroying
Prosperity.

Cleveland.-After his game Of golf,
a few days ago, John D. Rockefeller
took another slap at "the Admins
%tration,' as he invariably styles
President Roosevelt. Curiously
enough, ne said he regarded Secre-
tary Taft as a sound and conservative
man, despite Mr.. R%oosevelt's efforts
to nominate the Secretary of War.
Rockefeller sees nothing ahead but
disaster to the business interests Of
the country as long as his oil trust
and kindred monopolies are pursued.
Here are some of the things he said:
THE policy of the present Admin
istration toward great business COM
binations Of all kinds has only one
result. 1t means disaster to the oun
try, financial depression and financial
chaos.
THE country already has a fair
dose of this since the extreme penalty
imposed on one corporation, with a
limited number Of shareholders, has
caused a loss of confidence, reflected
in a falling stock market, a tighten
ing Of money and a fear of the future.
What will be the effect when SIM
liar action is taken against corpora
tons with myriads of stockholders
scattered throughout the country, the
investors, the widows, the orphans?
There can be but one answer The
present situation will be intensified
many fold. 1t does not require an ex-
pert to reason this out. The most
superficial thinker can do it. I will
60 further and say to-day that be-
cause of the Administration with its
reports every five minutes of new &C
tons and of heavy fines, the country
is already beginning to drift toward
the rocks Of financial depression.
Confidence is gone, and confidence
is the basis Of all prosperity. With
confidence established there can be
no stopping of the wheels, of progress.
Without it all is at a s%tandstill. The
investor, great and small, locks up
his money and refuses to venture
forth.
Requests are coming to me to-day
for money from quarters it was least
expected would be asking for money
some time ago. To-day I was Of
fered the unprecedented interest of
seven per cent. for 100000 or 3d.
100000 or 100000. The security
was beyond all criticism. That would
be impossible in this country if there
was confidence enough to unlock the
money vault OF the country.
II know that the railroads Of the
United States to-day r unable to
borrow money for any length of time,
1T is really of no great moment
to me. I am through with business.
Loss or gain nc longer affect me. ]
am content as 1 am to-day. am in
better health than / have been fol
many years. I am happier than ]
have been for twelve years or more,
Why are men making these offers to
me now? 1t is because Of a lack OF
confidence. Not a lack OF confidence
in the Of the country, not
because there Is any danger Of foreign
entanglements, not because OF crop
failures nor Of the monetary policy,
nor of any social condition, but a
/ lack of confidence in this Administra'
tion."

SUICIDE GOOLD CONFESSED.
Admits Staying Emma Levin at Monte
Carlo and Packing Body in Trunk.

SoAAV ~ho NSnAhS "oNS
London.-In a dispatch from Mar
settles a correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph says that We're st. Leger
Goold, the confessed murderer Of
Emma Levin, has hanged himself in
prison.
Marseilles, France.-Vere st. Leger
Goold confessed that he was the MUIR
derer OF Emma Levin, a wealthy
Swedish woman, whose dicmembered
body was found in the trunk Of Gooll
and his wife upon their arrival here,
August 6, from Monte Carlo.
This trunk mystery" created much
excitement, especially as it was soon
learned that the Goods, who are
English, were Of good family.
y Geold says in his confession: Il
had been drinking, and becoming
angry, I seized a hunting knife and
buried it in Emma's back. She fell
dead. The next day I dismembered
the body with a saw and a knife, and
placed the torso in a trunk and the
head and legs In a valise. I only
stabbed the woman once. The other
wounds on her body must have been
caused by shaking around in the
trunk"
Goold said they carried off Emma
Levin's jewels, not for their value,
but in order to prevent their discoT-
cry in his apartment.

Didn't Know a Good Thing.

Not long ago in a Western market

NAL with a live turkey under his
arm. The turkey was s~quawking and
gobbling in a distressed way, a racket
to which the Irishman did not at first
pay any particular notice. Finally,
however, the disturbance got on the
Calts nerves. Giving the bird a poke
in the side, he exclaimed:

ganized "a s4,000,000' bean trust,
which he says is immune from legal

Company, and Judge Wing says it
will have a practical monopoly of the
bean industry. 1t has taken options
upon nearly every elevator-three
hundred in .aN-in southern Michi-

'STR|KE OF TELEGRAPHERS
FROM SEA TO SEA
Operators Walk Out in OFFICES
From Atlantic to the Pacific.
FIFTEEN THOUSAND QUIT WORK
Tremendous Tie-Up Temporarily
Crippled Almost Every Industry
All Over the Country-Associat-
ed Press Employees Stopped.

New York City.-.New York and
the whole United States felt the par
alyzing effect of the general strike
throughout the country Of the opera
tors of the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph Companies.
The electric keys spread the strike
like lightning. The last messages
sent by thousands of operators were
transmissions Of orders to quit work.
At 100 o'clock in the afternoon
the New York men went out. There
we're 5000 Western Union and 1000
Postal Telegraph operators idle in
the city. The step las taken in spite
Of the unions vote to defer action.
But the men claim the company
forced the move.
Other cities throughout the coun-
try which had not yet been affected
quickly followed the lead of New
York. Virtually everything west Of
Pittsburg and throughout the South
vas tied up.
Throughout the country $4,000
operators left the keys. More than
! hundred cities and towns were af-
tected and, with n or two excep-
Ions, they included all the important
places in the United Statec.
The great news-gathering system
Of the Associated Press was COM
pletely paralyzed at 100 in the even
ing. Its operators in every place
from New York to the Pacific Coast
left their keys promptly on the min
lte. With the exception Of a few
short messages, the big news organ
lzation sent out no general news dis
patches to the various newspapers.
1t sent out statements that 1t was
putting in operators and distributing
news, but the news did not arrive in
the newspaper offices.
Prior to the final Gripping of the
news service by the strike in the AS
ISOLATED PRESS offices, dispatches came
from various cities, West and South,
concerning the strike, but all were OF
the same tenor. They pointed to a
general tie-up in Buffalo, -Pittsburg,
Philadelphia, Chicago Minneapolis,
San Francisco and all kinds Of cities,
big and small, between these points.
On the second day of the tie-up,
strikes were declared in twenty-six
cities in the United States and Can
ada upon the order Of Deputy Presi-
dent Percy Thomas. Chief among
them wa.s Boston, where the going
out of nearly all the Postal and West
ern Union operators ~paralyzed the
telegraph business in the East.
The commercial men were ordered
out throughout New England and
quit as soon as the order reached
them.
Even the Government was affected
by the strike. Although there are
three leased wires from Oyster Bay
and one Western Union wire in the
White House, business was inter-
rupted. The Western Union wire was
silent. When the operators used the
other wires they were interrupted
by operators between Oyster Bay and
Washington cutting in and calling
"Scab" and "Chump" on the wire to
the men sending and receiving. Bust
ness was continued under these diff
Duties.
