Once there was a married woman
Who, without realizing that she was
engaged in the martyr business,
could have trotted very nicely in the
old-time roasting class.
She began her career in that line
by loving her husband so desperately
that she could o bear to see him
annoyed and she found that, by all
ways putting his comfort before her
own she could spare him most of
the petty trials which beset the path
of man.
When her three daughters were
born to her they were beautiful babes
and she resolved hal they should
never be compelled as she had been,
to r~oughen their hands with kitchen
work.
AS they grew in years she found
that, by cutting down her W sup
ply Of dry goods, that she could keep
them the best dressed children in the
neighborhood. and still not interfere

ORCHARD SHOWS DIP EMOTION
TELLS OF MURDER OF srEuNEN.
BERG AND VARIOUS OTHER
GRIMES.

Boise, Idaho, Dec. IA. Showing
signs of deep emotion, Harry Orchard,
in the Pettibone trial yesterday after.
noon, told of the assassination of For.
mer Governor Steunenerg. In minute
detail he testified in regard to the de.
liberate preparations for the crime;
of his unsuccessful effort to end the
governor and finally the placing Of
the bomb on the night of Dec. 80, 1905.
This morning narration of his arrest,
confinement in the state prison and
his confession to Detective McPar
land will end the direct examination.
and the witness will be turned over to
Clarence S. barrow for cross examina-
tion. Before telling of the Steunen-
berg murder Orchard detailed his al
legged attempts on the lives of Fred
Bradley at San Francisco; Justice
Gubbert, Justice Goddard and Gov.
Peabody at Denver, and Of plans
which he said were made to kill Sher-
man Bell, Frank Hearns, David Moi
fat and John Neville. Throughout his.
story he pictured Pettibone as his pay
master, and in some Of his attempted
crimes he implicated the defendant as
an active participant. In every detail
his narrative was the same as given
in the Haywood trial, but Hawley in
his questioning was careful to lay en-

SETTLEMENT BY COMPROMISE

Washington, Dec. 14.-Negotiations
general and E. H. Hartman looking to
an agreement by which the Union Pa
cifice will abandon all it's direct con-
troll of the Southern Pacific, in return
for which the government will agree
not to prosecute E. H. Hartman for
violation of the antitrust law and OF
the competitive clauses in the inter-
state commerce law.
The negotiations have not actually
been concluded, but they have reached
a stage where it is believed an agree
ment will be entered into.
To Be Reorganized.
The Southern Pacific is to be or
ganized as a separate corporation, and
the Union Pacific either will take over
; the old Central Pacific line from Og-
den to San Francisco OR else will op-
crate over 1T as a through line, as it
is permitted to- do by law.
The holding company organized by
Mr. Hartman and his friends to take
over the stL.n of the Santa Fe and
Northern Pacific probably will con.
tinue, but the direct community of in
terest between the Union Pacigc and
its competing lines will be stopped.

Whether this agreement not to pros.
ecute Mr.. Hartman, and Mr.. Harrf-
mans agreement to keep up at least a
semblance of open competition be,
tween the transcontinental line he
controls will result in any benefit to
the public is doubtful, but technically
the triumph Of the government is as.
sured.
This result comes directly from the

barrow Subjects Him to Most Rigid
Cross-Examination.
Boise, Idaho, Dec. 15.-Clarense S.
barrow, the Chicago attorney. who is
conducting the defense of George A.
Pettibone, had Harry Orchard, the
states witness, on the rack for two
hours and a half yesterday, endeayor-
ing to discredit his testimony The
discrimination was rigid and eff
fective in that in it Orchard was pic
tured as an inhuman monster, MUIR
derer, bigamist, perjurer, gambler,
thiel and incen diary. Profiting by the
failure Of Attorney Richardson, in the
Haywood trial, to shake the testimony
of Orchard, Darrow made little attempt
to make the witness contradict him
self.
Twice only during the day did he
try to confuse Orchard in regard to
his testimony, and each time he fail
ed. Reading from the testimony of
the Haywood trial, barrow endeavored
to make it appear that the witness had
changed his statements, but Orchard
forced his questioner to read more OF
his testimony, given before, showing
that his testimony had been the same
at both times. barrow laid particular
emphasis on the fact that Orchard
was criminal before he became ac-
quainted with Meyer, Haywood and
Pettihone.

Goldfeld, New, Dec. 15.-After hav-
ing met and conferred with many citi-

Funston stated last night that he is
finding conditions here worse than he
had anticipated IN.
'"The possibilities of further trouble
growing out of the difficulties between
the mine owners and the miners" he
said, "are greater than my information
previous to coming to Goldfeld had
led me to believe. do not believe the
governor will declare martial law at
once as no serious disturbance has
occurred AS to the matter of patroll-
ing the vicinity of the mines and the
streets of the city with regulars, that

fore the arrival OF the labor commits

that previous to the coming of the

July I is THE DATE FIXED
SPIRITED DEBATE OVER ACCEPT.
ANcE OF 100000 OFFERED
BY DENVER.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Afer decid-
ing to hold the next Democratic ma
tional convention at Denver, Colo,
and fixing the date of the meeting for
July z, 1908, the Democratic national
committee late yesterday entered upon
a spirited debate on the propriety Of
accepting more of the 100000 offered
by Denver for the convention than &C.
tually needed to pay the convention
expenses in that city. The opposition
to the acceptance of the contribution
took the form of resolution by Rep,
resentative Clayton of Alabama, de-
clining money not actually needed for
convention purposes, but after a long
debate the resolution was laid on the
table by vote of 81 to IA.
Causes Spirited Debate.
Mr. Clayton, Representative John
|, Shary Williams Of Mississippi and
Gov. Hoke Smith of Georgia all spoke
In favor of the passage Of the resolu-
ton Mr.. Taggart advocated the &C
ceptance Of the 100000, saying it
would be needed now even more than
money was needed in 1904, and that
at that time it would have been prac-
ttcally impossible to have opened
headquarters for Judge Parker If they
had not had the extra money secured
from ST. Louis, where the convention
was held.
Senator Stone Of Missouri made a
long speech in which he favored the
acceptance of the money.
Mayor Tom Johnson advocated the
acceptance of the money offered by
Denver.
Straight Business Propagation.
Charles f. Wilson of Colorado as
sured the committee that Denver had
no desire to appear as unduly infiu-
encing the committee. He said that
there is a business men league in
Denver, an important part of whose
business it is, to secure conventions,
and that the proposition to the Demo
cratic committee to go to Denver had
been made as it had been to secure
many other meetings He said the Den
yer people would be disappointed If
the entire sum was not accepted.
The motion to table Mr. Clayton's
resolution prevailed by a vote Of 81 to
IA. S.
On the first ballot Denver received
% votes, as against II for Louis
vile, 5 for Chicago and for ST. Paul.
