OFFICIALS MUST TESTIFY
fudge Landis Insists on Knowing Financial Condition of Standard
 Oil Company of Indiana.
suBpoExls ISSUED FOR HEAD OFFICERS
John Q. Rockefeller, William Roeke- felIer, John D. Archbold and n. H' Rogers are Among Those Sum. moned to Chicago by the Federal Judge.

Chicago June 2S.--Subpoenas were Tbnrsdav issued in the United States district court for the leading officers ,t the Standard Oil company ol New Jersey and of the Standard oii company of Indiana.
 The officials of the parent concern summoned to testify are John D. Rockefeller, president; William Rocke- feIler. John D. Archbold and Henry H Rogers. vice presidents; w. II. Tilford. treasurer; c. M. Pratt, secre' tsry; William P. Howe, assistant treasurer. and Charles T. Wnite. sr' sistant secretary.
 Officers Of the Indiana company subpoenaed are J. A. Moffett, presi- dent. w. P. Cowan, vice president c. w. Stahl, secretary and treasurer. H. E. Felton, president of the Union Tank line, and F. A. Wann, former general freight agent of the Chicago and Alton railroad, have also been served with subpoenas.
 The issuance of the subpoenas was the direct result of the refusal or the attorneys of the Standard Oil com pany Wednesday to inform the court of the financial condition of the indiana company. Judge Landis re- piled that he was entitled to that formation in connection with i'm posing of fines and intended to have il. He thereupon directed the district attorney to prepare sub pocnas for such officials of the In. ,iana company. or for any officers or the controlling corporation who might have the information desired.
 The Standard oil company of In diana was indicted on the charge or using illegal freight rates rendered 1t by the Chicago & Alton road and after long trial was found guilty on l462 counts of the indictment. A maximum fine of $2o,00o is allowed on each count making total possi- ble fine of $29.24o.000.
 Before passing sentence, Judge Landis announced that it was his custom to proportion the fine accord ing to the financial condition of the defendant and asked for specific in formation regarding the financial condition of the Standard oil com pany. This information he has been unable to obtain, and the subpoenas were the consequence.
 It was said in the office of Dis trict Attorney Sims that the subpoe- mas will be sent east at once for ser vice

lmpetuosity.

In spite of generations of reckless cumulative Irish gentlemen, it is odd that we have still to go to American literature for the classical instances of impetuosity with firearms. This Is reproach to Irish authors, which should touch them closely. Irish gem tlemen were killing and wounding each other on sight almost for cen turies before America was heard of, and yet it was left for Bret Harte and Mark Twain and John Hay to fix in the far west the type of fire-eater who carried his honor in his belt,--T P's Weekly.

 Women Who Should Shave.

"One thing am proud of about New York women said the man who just got home. is that they are clean shaven. l never saw anything lika the side-whiskers and boards on the women in France, Italy and Switzer land. In Paris once l walked into a shoe store and stood there petrified, forgetting what I went in for. the big brunette cashier at ths desk had such a furious mustache."

The Story of n Bust

Among the busts at the Pincio. saws
Paolo Picca In the Vita. is one OF the
poet Nincenzo MOnti, which has n curl
Gus history. The portrait bust was
originally that OF Vittorio Alfieri. a con-
temporary OF Months and his sworn
enemy. Alheri had gained fame as 4
writer OF tragedies. shortly after the
Aitieri bust had been placed in position
the writer gave offense TO the Vatican
by one Of his works. and the bust was
taken down and put in the cellar. In
its place came bust Of the poet Ales-
sandro Berri. But Pincio honorS were
not lasting. and it was only q short
time before the composer BellinI re-
placed Berri The bust in the cellar
had not been forgotten, and when Vim
cenzo Monti was named for the honor
the old marble was brought forth. and
with fie and chisel It was made over.
The normal rose was converted into n
most peculiar organ, which still shows
iae scars Of the operation: the hair
was cropped, the bushy eyebrows were
shorn, and the cheeks were rounded.
and so Alferi became and still IS Mon

An Amusing Complication Over q Dose

The experiences OF an English house

instance Of one OF the amusing expert

dishwasher was Ill with fever, but
that II l would give him some medi-
cine he would soon be able to resume
his work. happened to have none by
me. but the matter was urgent, clean
dishes being important.
"Can he go to the chemists, do you
think, for some physic If give him n
letterT' asked. IT don't know what
to write for"
"Oh, yes" he said; ''he is quite able
TO so that short distance
I thought that was much the best
way, and then the chemist could give
him what was proper. So 1 wrote:
Please give the bearer a dose Of med
icine. He says he has fever"
I forgot to inquire about him TIL two
days after.
How Is the diShwaSherT / said.
HE is much better, your honor"
"Ah, then he took the physic?"
"No. your highness. The bazaar
cody took the physic."
''The bazaar cody" 1 exclaimed.
What for?"
''The dishwasher said: Cody goes
errands. He may fetch me the physic'
SO the cody took the letter. shop
master prepared physic. then told ba-
zaar cody 10 drink It. Cody said:
Not for me is the medicine, but for
another man. | take IL TO him. Not
So. said the shop master. The mis-
tress has written, Give TO bearer"
and she means you must drink 1t here
Many times the cody said he was not
the man, but they would not listen,
and they made him drink Tx

THE SHOE RASP.

How many OF the Familiarity used

THE shoe rasp was commonly at

that In most shoe stores stood at the
front end OF the store, the counter up
on which shoes were done up. II was

BLOOD PRESSURE.
The Determination of Its Relation to
Mental States.


Mental States.
In addition 10 those bodily move
ments which are called voluntary"
various bodily phenomena which are
clearly involuntary accompany violent
mental excitement. The blush OF
shame. the distinctive Pushes Of Joy
and OF anger, the pallor and sweat Of
fear. the tears of grief and the creep
ing" Of the flesh provoked by horror
are familiar examples. The reSpira-
ton is quickened by joy and retarded
by anxiety. and the feeling Of relief
finds expression in 4 deep sigh. Vic
lent emotions often disturb the digeS-
ton. The heart bounds with joy" is
paralyzed by horror, leaps TO the
throat in terror The connection be-
tween the heart and the emotions is so
intimate that the heart was long re-
garded as the seat of the soul.

CUMBERLAND. Nd, April 4.-The

subsidiary corporation Of the BaltI.
more & Ohio railroad, has been grant.
ed an injunction against Laura and
Amanda o'Coanor Of near Meyersdale,
restraining. them from Interfering
with the engineers of the plaintiff. The
Baltimore & Ohio decided to build a
line from Somerset TO Johnstown to
relieve the congestion on the Somerset
& Cambria branch which Will traverse
the defendants farm. On March Q the
engineers started 10 survey the route
across the o'Connor tract and were ar.
rested and fined for trespass. 1t Is
alleged that they were not given n
legal hearing; that the defendants
threatened 10 shoot them; that they
held umbrellas over the transit and
attempted 10 break the steel chain.
