His First Work.

As a politician Ruef Sprang his first
sensation before the municipal election of
1893 in San Francisco, when he organized
Republican Primary League" and took
out incorporation papers for it just as if
II were business enterprise, as i'm fact il
was. Among Ruef's legal clients then
was man who had had an interest in a
small gas engine manufacturing concern
This mans name was Eugene z. Schmitz.
He was something of a ward politician in
union labor circles, having risen to the
presidency of the Musicians union in San
Francisco. Incidentally he was a fiddler,
playing every night in one of the theatre
orchestras Ruef made Schnitz one of
his directors in the political corporation.
AS a director Schmtz could be depended
on always to attend meetings, to vote as
he was told and to take any other order
from Ruef without baking or selling out
TO the other side.
When the time came for the primaries
Ruef put Schmitz forward as his nomi-
nee for the district leadership He was
until 1901, when he once more pushed
SchmitZ forward as This man" Again
they were beaten.
After Ruef's second defeat his political
opponents within the Republican party
declared him down and out" He would
have been had he played the game of pol
itics according TO the rules. He was
WHIPPED dog, and by all the rules of the
game should have skunk away into hid
ing. But Ruef has ever refused TO be
hampered by airy rules of ''fair-play." He
played trick in manner never ex-
pected by his oppor ents BY organizing a
party of his own against his own party.
This was in the days when the capital
lists of San Francisco were arrayed to-
gether in a determined effort to down the
labor unions. The unions retaliated with
monster strike. In the midst of the

OF the bidder revokes the bidder cannot be
set back, whether he makes what he bid or
not. He must be allowed to score what
he makes.
4 note is usually made OF the amount
bid. II the bidder fails to make as many
as he bid, counting his melds and trick
points together, he is set back the amount
OF his bid and scores nothing, his melds
being wiped of the slate.
Suppose the bid is 800 and the player
melds 100. He will nave TO make 140 in
cards to make good or he will be set back
800 and lose his 100 meld, besides getting
nothing for the tricks he wins.
The old game OF pinochle was 900 points;
but bid pinochle with n widow is played for
so many deals. When four play. four or
eight deals is a game. When three play, il
is usually three or six.
AT the end of the number of deals agreed
upon the scores are added up and the high
est is the winner. The difference is then
reckoned and settled for at so much a point,
it being usual to throw of the odd units at
the end.
Suppose the final score in a three hand
game 10 be. A, $40; B. 2l0; G, $50. The COM
parative standing is arrives at by doubling
the amount each player wins, because he
wins it from both the others, and then de-
Quoting the sum of the amounts they have
won, which he has to pay. This process
would give US this result;

partment showed denominations OF /,

In regard TO the authenticity OF the two
cent green error stamp OF the Navy De-
spartment. which certain philetalists have
questioned, John n. Luff, an authority,
is Of the opinion that it is a genuine issue
and not q proof. as some have thought.
He states that an expert stamp collector
informed him that he had received a strip
OF three and a pair Of the rare errors from
a former clerk in the State Department,
and another collector has seen a copy OF
the error cancelled and on the original
envelope.
Another curiosity Of this series is a three
cent stamp OF the Post Office Department
which has been used as apostage due stamp.
This stamp is Of the 1879 issue, with the
hand stamp Due g." in payment Of which
the department stamp has been affixed
and cancelled.
1t has been said that the stamps OF high
value Of the State Department existed
with inverted portraits. but Mr.. Luff says
this is not a fact, although it is true that a
gentleman informed him that he had seen
sheets Of the four bioolored values show
ing the centres upside down. This gentle
man had tried to obtain copies OF them,
but without success, and all OF the stamps
in this condition were burned, it is said.
In 1884 by act Of Congress the use OF
department issues was discontinued and
the remaining stamps destroyed,

NARC0SIs BY ELECTRICITY.
French Professor Has q Method He Thinks
VIII 8upeFSede Drugs Now Used.

van - SbOus
From Nantes, France, is reported a
series OF highly successful experiments
with a new form Of narcosis. Prof.
Stephane Leduo, who is the inventor Of
1t, believes that IL will presently super
sede naroosis by drugs. He calls 1t electro
narcosis and he ssysthat II excels all known
methods Of producing insensibility In that
1t has no injurious sequel whatever.
The patient subjected to el-eotro-narcosis
lies ~motionlessly and totally immune 10
pain as long as the method 10 applied.
The moment it is relaxed he RECEIVERS his
senses in their full activity. There IL
no period OF daze, no nausea, no exhaus-
ton, no headache. On the contrary 40
far as the effect Of the narcotic is CON-
cerned the subject feels rested and ex-
hilsrated. When a healthy man is SUBJ
jeoted to the treatment he awakes with
a general feeling OF we'll being such az re-
suits from a refreshing sleep. In the case
Of a patient undergoing a surgical opera
ton it is expected that shock will be re-
duoed. But this experiment has not vet
been tried on a human subject. Indeed.
to date the professor himself Ia the only
man who has taken the electro-naroosi
unqualified success.
The discovery was developed through a
series OF experiments on dogs, rabbits
and guinea pige. The application Of the
current, according 70 it's strength, re-
suits in the cessation OF the functions oil
the brain, suspension OF the operation oil
the lungs or stoppage Of the heart. To
completely deaden the brain Of a rabbit
required only a current OF ak to eight
volts; one OF ten volts caused paralysis
volts always resulted IN death. ~
The ~deadening OF the brain could be
continued for hours without the sllQhtes
injury The suspension OF the functions
OF the lungs could not be prolonged be-
yond a minute without causing death.

prove and Cheaper Their Preserves.
A German scientist, Prof. Eokstein, pro-
poses TO utilize the May bugs or oockchafer
beetles, which are 80 destructive TO vegeta-
ton in Europe, as a food for fish in ponds
and preserved waters. The present method
Of killing the pests when they are picked
from the trees and plants Ia by pouring
boiling water on them. This renders them
smothering with sulphurio ether. A few
ounces OF this Ia poured into a barrelful OF
the insects, which is then headed up. They
are all dead in a few hours.
They are next roasted in an oven some
thing like a coffee roasting apparatus. The
heat is applied for about twelve hours and
at the end Of that time they are found re-
duoed to a fine meal, which can he kept for

In this case B is minus, so he loses twice
800 to each of the others, in addition TO which
he has TO pay them what they are plus. A
deducts what he has to pay c, less what B
owes him, the difference between BIS minus
and C's plus being 220.
In some places, the players make every
deal a game, and then they count up and
settle after each hand. IT bidder, II he
succeeds, collects the difference between
his total and what each of the others have
made in melds and tricks.
Suppose that A is the bidder and makes
$50: B is getting 90 and G 100. B owes A
800, or 80 cents, IL the units are thrown OF
and c owes A 220, or 20 cents. II the unit
figure is 8 or more, it is called another 10,
1928 being reckoned as $50.
The principal thing in auction pinochle
with a widow is to know the probabilities
of finding certain cards in the widow, or
rather, the odds against finding them.
II the bidder has fifteen cards there are
thirty-three that he does not hold, and
only three of these are in the widow. He
has therefore three chances in thirty-three,
or one in eleven, to find the card that he
wants.
This makes the odds 10 to / against it if
it is a single named card. such as the jack
Of hearts. But as there are two Of each
card in the pack these odds are much re-
duced. and il there are two cards that will
suit the players hand, such as a fourth ace
or a fourth king. there are really four cards
in the pack that will fill the bill, and the
odds against getting one or other of them
are very slight. There is also the chance,
of course, OF getting them both.
As a rule, it is bad policy to bid upon a
hand that needs a certain card In the widow
to make it good, While a speculative player
may hit It off occasionally in brilliant
fashion. in the long run he will be set back
much oftener than he will make good his
bid.
1t is the player that bids on what he has
to meld, and who has good Judgment as to
what is probable in trick points, that comes
Sam Weller's advice is a good maxim for
bid pinochle: Beware of widows"

to decide for us. This sense of superior
ity does not bring with it any arrogance.
We simply know, beyond q doubt, that
divine intelligence, acting through its
idea, is equal to any emergency. Let us
be sure we are right. that we are not
being controlled by error; then let us go
ahead calmly, for we are certain of sue

Try to realize for yourself that because
man is a son of God you possess all the
intelligence necessary to conduct your
business. 1t is quite true that when the
human mind is called upon to decide big
questions, thinking it is going to do the
work, 1t may hesitate, deferred by a
sense of great responsibility; but the man
who begins to see the great scientific
truth that all his acts are directed by

power and courage which are afraid of

The healing truth which destroys the
belief in many conflicting minds is that
in reality there is but one infinite, per-

Persia, after the latters conquest by
Alexander Twenty thousand two hun
dred and two persons were made hus-
bands and wives in one ceremony.
The facts are these: After conquering
King Darius, Alexander determined TO
wed Statiro, daughter of the conquered
king, and issued a decree that on that
occasion 100 of his chief officers should
marry 100 women from the noblest Per-
sian and Medean families. He further
stipulated that 1000 of his Greek soldiers
should take to wife 10000 Asiatic women.
For this purpose a vast pavilion was
erected, the pillars being 60 feet high.
One hundred gorgeous chambers ad-
Joined this for the 100 noble bridegrooms.
while for the 10000 soldiers an outer
court was inclosed. Outside of this tables
were spread for the multitude.
Each pair had seats and ranged them
selves in seni-circle round the royal
throne. AS 1t would have taken several
weeks for the few priests to have mar
ried this vast number of couples had the
ceremony been performed in the ordinary
way. Alexander invented a simple way
out of the difficulty. He gave his hand
to Statiro and kissed her, and all the
remaining bridegrooms did the same to
the women beside them; and thus ended
the ceremony that united the greatest
number of people at one time ever known.
Then occurred a five days festival which
for grandeur and magnificence never has
been equaled.

DR.. Cook was extremely fortunate in his
relations with the savage tribes in the
far south, and his daring courage has
carried himself and the parties accom-
panying him through many dangers.
DR.. Cook was looked upon as friend
by the large number of uncivilized races
inhabiting the thousands of islands in
the seouthern seas. The numerous isles
making UP Terra del Fuego are familiar
to him, and his friendliness with the
cannibals of that region is matter over
which many have wondered.
Islands Feared
The islands, situated as they are off
the southern extremity of South America
and bordering on the treacherous waters
that beat against the dreaded Cape orn,
are the scenes of many shipwrecks, and
the repusive feasts on the human flesh
of unfortunate seamen are known to all
mariners, who look upon this part of
their voyages with extreme fear.
Hoping for the return of her husband,
Mrs. Cook has taken up her abode near
Sydney Cape Breton, where she anxiously
watches, day by day, for the appearance
of his vessel. She is unable to explain
his absence and no word has been re-
ceived by her of his whereabouts since
the receipt of his letters from Etah.

MYSTERY
Brooklyn Man Wandering or Dead.
Wife Awaits Return at Cape
Breton--FrIends Are
Alarmed

In the far Arctic regions a man we'll
known In Los Angeles is either roaming
about anxiously watching for the improb-
able passing of ship in which he may
return to his Brooklyn home or is lying
dead under the SHOWS Of northern
winter.
The man is DR.. Frederick A. Cook, a
scientist of Brooklyn, whose explorations
have carried him not only to the far
north but have made him one Of the
foremost figures among the compara-
lively few men who have ventured into
the great Antarctic region, where his
thrilling experiences are recounted in
writings dealing with the vast and little
known archipelagos and broad seas of
that part OF the world.
Mystery surrounds the object of the
trip of DIR. Cook to the far north. Rela-
tives have received letters from him, in
which he stated that he expected to
reach the pole from Etah by route that
would carry him through Buchanan bay =
Elsemere land and the strait named after
Nansen.
The town of Ltah is situated nearly
800 miles from the pole and Is nearly 400
miles from the polar ice. Many discus
sions have arisen In Arctic clubs regard
ing the movements of DR.. Cook and a
number of men who have made a life
been members of various expeditions to
the north are inclined to scout the idea
that DR.. Cooks real object was the dis
covery of the north pole. The reason
for his departure from Etah, however,
and what he hoped to accomplish are
still being discussed without satisfactory
results.
Furs May Be Incentive
The valuable furs to be found in the
northern region are believed by some OF
DR.. Cooks friends to have been one OF
the objects of his hurried leave taking
at Etah. Among the fur bearing NAM
mails to be found within 100 miles OF
Etah are the walrus, whose fur is valued
highly and for which numerous expedi-
tions go to the frozen, north each year.
BY other friends of DR.. Cook, men who
have followed his wanderings with studi-
GUS minds and desire to benefit by his
explorations and extensive researches, It
is believed the bne object he has in view
is to add to the great mass of data on
the habits and peculiarities of strange
races
His expeditions to Antarctic regions are
still fresh in the minds of many, and his
thrilling experiences In that territory
have been read with avidity by searchers
after knowledge in all parts OF the world.
