your hair stond on end. The truth of
the matter is that we are afraid to
say anything about it for fear that
the whole town would stampede off
there and leave this place depopulat-
ed. There is also the fear of govern
ment ownership, as a thing of this
kind that means so much to human
ity is too valuable to be held by a few
persons for their personal profit"
After this startling announcement
the former assemblyman dismissed
the subject and though liquid re-
freshments were suggested they
ayailed nothing.
Until the result of the analysis is
received and made public no further
information is expected on the sub
ject from those interested. No doubt
steps will be taken to place ample
guard over the precious waters until
it is decided how they will be used.
In the meantime those who are in
on the secret and feel the need of
such IMMIGRATION as is promised by
those who have made the tests will
anXiously await further develop
ments 1t is hardly to be hoped that
mere chemists can define that indefi-
mite something which we call life as
the problem is as old as chemistry
itself but it may be that the very
something they have looked for all
these years in vain is contained in
the waters found in White Pine

kashgaria.

There are few places in the world
so difficult to get at as Kashgaria.
Though it lies in Chinese territory the
journey from Pekin occupies no less
than six months. From India cara
vans take two months, having to cross
meanwhile the three highest mountain
ranges in the world by way of several
passes measuring $4,000 feet above
sea level.
Then from the tailend of the Rus
sian railway system in Central Asia
one may reach Kashgar in three
weeks by several routes, all involving
the transit of difficult and storm
swept passes.
Kashgaria is said to cover an area
of 100000 square miles-a statement
that has little interest until consid-
cred in relation to the proportion
which is cultivated by man. 1t is
startling to relate that human en-
deavor has been capable of rendering
fertile little more than a hundredth
part and that ninety-nine hundredths
of it is irredeemable desert.

out Carriage at Exposition.

NORFOLK. Va, May Gov. Swanson
and his wife underwent the humiliation
Tuesday Of having to ride in a dirt cart
from the jamestown exposition grounds to
the boat In order to return to Richmond.
When the governor and Mrs. Swanson were
ready for their journey not carriage
was to be had. The governor, who had
messing engagements elsewhere, could not
AFFORD to miss his train. Hailing a passing
dirt cart the governor had his baggage
put In It, while he and Mrs. Swanson
climbed into the seat with the driver. Their
exit from the exposition grounds In this
undignifed manner caused considerable
amusement among those who witnessed
their departure. An official of the EXPOSE
ton company who happened to see the
made-to-order conveyance which the gov
ernor had adopted for his immediate use.
exclaimed in horror:
what, The governor of Virginia and
Mrs Swanson in a wagon?'

ernor IF I were an of1eer Of the ex-
position, would be riding in a carriage.
as all of you do, but being only the gov
ernor Of Virginia. and not an influential
official. I must accept with thankss even
thu dirt wagon which you are kind enough
to furnish me. ! am thankful You do not
require Mrs. Swanson and myself to walk

BARONESS" DENIES MURDER.
Mrs. de Massey Testiaes for Herself
Trial Nearing End.

NEW YORK, May 2-In support Of his
contention that Mrs. Anisia Louise de Mas
sey, the so-called baroness, who is on trial
on a charge of having murdered Gustav
Simon, was the victim Of an unusual COM
bination of circumstances, her counsel yes
terday called to the stand Michael Goode. a
former city marshal, who told Of an en-
counter he had with Simon eighteen years
ago. He had gone to Simon's place Of BUSH
ness to serve papers upon him for non-pay-
ment of q BILL he said, and Simon shot him
twice. He has been cripple since as q
result of the wounds. Goode said he would
not have believed Simon under oath.
Mrs de Massey was then called as wit
ness, She said that when she notified Simon
that she intended to leave his employ he
told her to call on the. following Monday
and he would pay her. She called as agreed,
and while she was awaiting his arrival
another woman came In to wait for him.
Mrs, de Massey said that when she asked
Simon for her wages he told her he would
not pay her and that she could sue for the
money.
"Mr. Simon simply opened the door and
showed me into the hallway" added Mrs.
de Massey. She walked down stairs, she
said. and did not meet Otto sieh s at the
out to the curb and signaled for car to
stop Just as a policeman placed her under
arrest She declared that she. was not In
the building after leaving simons once ana
that she did not shoot Simon.
When she was taken back Into simon
presence after he was shot, Mrs. de Mas
sey said. Simon said nothing. When she
was taken to the police station, she alleged,
Policeman Warzensky said:
Leave this woman to me- III NIX ner.
Mrs. de Massey said that at the station
house the matron took her In charge and
made a thorough search OF her clothing Ior
weapons None was found.
| In rebuttal Policeman Werzensky denied
making the remark quoted BY Mrs. de Mas
Sey. -.
William Simmons, negro, festined that
he had seen Mrs. de Massey with revoi-
yer In her hand In 1905.
I Mrs. de Massey. recalled, said that Sim
mons testimony was "a lie." The defense
then rested, and Mr.. Lebarbier moved Tor
fused he said he was not prepared to COM
mence summing up. The court then ad-
tourned for the day.
