pointed out by Prof ~ De Jassy, a
distinguished French scholar, here.
''In the cary days mankind wor-
SHIPPED the tree" says he, "and there
is no God who was not represented
as a tree or as dwelling In a tree.
With the Jews Jehovah dwelt In the
.fir-or the pine-and it Is there that
he appears to Moses. The Greek and
Roman Gods and Goddesses iwelt in
trees or are represented by trees.
They are the soul Of vegetative life.
and Christ Himself in the allegorical

as in near connection with vegetative

CANAL SYNDICATE
ALL MYTH DECLARES RECEIVER

Tells That No Americans Figured IN
Distribution of Money From the
United States.

Paris. Dec. 2i.--In view of a posi-
bic congressional Investigation in
the United States into the Panama
canal purchase, NJ. Lemarques, the
receiver Of the old company. who
hitherto has declined to be interview.
"a. made the following statement to-
day:
while do not desire to go into
details or participate in the polemiC
row now raging in America. do not
hesitate in speaking from personal
knowledge to brand the story OF the
existence of an American syndicate
to which the purchase money Is sup
posed eventually to have gone as a
fable invented out OF the whole
cloth"
Should an officia, investigation be
ordered in the United States. NJ. Lee
marques explained that Il would rest
with the court to decide what inform
alton could be legally furnished. lie
declined to discuss whether there
were any American bondholders, and
II so to state even approximately
the percentage OF the total amount
they received.
Another authority asserts that the
American interest in the canal was
comparatively insignificant. being
well below 100000. and confined
practically TO a single New York
banker. whose holdings long ante
dated the project OF the American
purchase. Final formalit.es in con
nection with the liquidation Of the old
company are expected 10 be com
pleted within six months.

THE PRESIDENTS SCRAP BOOK.

THE PRESIDENTS SCRAP BOOK.
Just as everybody supposed, Presi-
dent Roosevelt did not say in his
message that the principal argument
against the use Of secret service men
outside the treasury department was
that they might be used to trail con-
gressmen, without having the facts
to back him up. He has graciously
acceded to the demand Of the lower
house for the information on which
he based his assertion and he has
furnished It. He goes no further than
the congressional record, and quotes
several paragraphs. One Of them
says:

service at one time was used for the

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

Centuries have rolled around, edu-
cation has become general, the esthe-
tic taste Of the human family has
been developed and cultivated; the
age of poets has come and gone: the
age of adventure has passed into the
history of nations; science has made
men skeptical and wise, and yet the
story of the babe born In Bethlehem
in a manger remains the sweetest,
truest story the world has ever
known. Cultivation Of the esthetic
only makes the human family more
capable of approaching its beauty:
poets have ever drawn on its mex
haustible store of sweetness for their
themes; wars have but emphasized
its potency by exposing the vanity =.
might; science is but its truth re-
vealed. There was naught but per-
fection in that conception, no flaw
that the centuries could detect in that
life. Tomorrow, when the world
awakens to new day. 1t will be one
OF gladness, because in a weak. fool
fish human way everybody has lived
few weeks in the spirit Of that new
birth. which wrought nothing but Joy
through thinking OF others.

Daily Thought.

Christmas is only a single day of
generosity. .ransomed from the dull
servitude of a selfish year, only a
single night OF merrymaking cele-
brated in the slave quarters of a
selfish race. If every gift IS the
token of a personal thought, friend
iy feeling. an unselfish interest in the
Joy of others, then the thought, the
feeling, the interest may remain
after the gift is made.-Henry Van
Dyke.

ing order contravened the rights of
free speech, and they publicly an
nounced their intention 10 violate the
Injunction in that respect, which
declaration in itself, Is held by the
appellate court a contempt of the or

There may be instances in which
the unfair list is perfectly proper
means OF fighting for the recognition
of trades unionism. There are easily
appreciated cases in which its use
would be grossly unfair Every man
has a right to conduct HIS own bust
ness as he sees fit, and whether he
conducts a union or open shop, his
right to remain unmolested is equal
to the right of the workingmen to or
ganize. II the latter have a right
to organize they have a right 10 do
certain legitimate things to perpetu-
ate that organization, but that right
does not extend TO interfering with
the public in its dealings with other
men.
As to what extent the unfair list
was used in this case, We are not In
formed. It does seem just a trifie
hard to prevent a man speaking as
mean as he pleases about a concern
publicly. so long as he does nothing
to inclte violence, and is not guilty
of SANDER.
But without going into the merits
of this controversy. we see clearly
that II Gompers goes to jail. he will
Instantly become a martyr to a
cause. If those men. who have re-
fused to concede an inch to organized
labor only knew It, this apparent de-
feat of the labor leaders themselves,
far from discrediting them in the
eyes Of their followers. will earn for
them the sympathy of the whole
country. The demands OF labor, as
never before. will now be brought to
the notice of the public.

Pittsburg, Dec. 5.--When the fourth

annual convention of the American
Mining congress opened here today, it
was apparent all unfinished business
would be cleared up by this afternoon
and the meeting. which Is pronounced
the most successful in the life of the

An interesting telegram from Presl-
dent-elect Taft was read before the
convention this morning. Following Is
the message:
II am glad OF an opportunity to ex-
press my interest in the important
work which the American Mining con-
gress is doing in behalf of the mining
industry and desire to encourage and
cooperate In this work III every pos
sible way.
THE mining industry of this coun-
try, which is second only to agricul-
ture in its contribution to the national
wealth, which furnishes more than Sc
pcr cent of the total freight traffic of
the country, and which employs more
than million men in its difficult and
dangerous tasks, deserves all the as
slstance which this government can
render 1t. ~
mo country is so rich in those re-
sources which make for great and per-

but this condition OF affairs has helped

use of our forests, our soils. our min

IL, however, the public conscience of
the country is awakening to both the

REAR ADMIRAL COGHLAN
DIES UNEXPECTED

New York, Dec, 5.-Rcar Admiral
Joseph G Coghlan. died at his home in
New Rochelle N. Y, at 7:SO o'clock
this morning. He was in command OF
the New York navy yard from 1904
to 1907. He removed to New Rochelle
only about two weeks ago.
Rear Admiral Coghlan's death was
entirely unexpected. I1e. with Mrs:
Coghlan. was living at the home of
charles Chamberlain. a former New
York newspaper man, In Sutton Manor,
the residence section of New Rochelle.
while waiting for his new home in that
city to be made ready for his occup-=
ancy. The admiral was seen about the
streets of New Rochelle yesterday and
appeared to be as we'll as usual. His
death occurred early today.
Washington, Dec. 5-Sinceres regret
was expressed on all sides today when
the news OF the death of Rear Admiral
Joseph b. Coghlan became known,
Fearless, kindly, and good story tell
er. he had hosts of warm friends both
among officers and those outside the
service.
Admiral Dewey expressed himself as
shocked at the news. Coghlan was with
Dewey at the break of Manila bay and
lie was promoted later for his work In
that battle. He enjoyed the admiral's
confidence to a marked degree and was.
dispatched by him on various import
ant missions while the fleet was in the
Philippines.
1t was Admiral Coghlan's popularity
and capacity as a good story teller that
involved him In the incident of which
much was made at the time, when
this admiral recitcd the poem, Hook
der Kaiser" which somewhat ruftleG
the German authorities. The incident
occurred at dinner which the admir-
al attended and ii was not intended
that the fact of the recital should be-
come public. However, it appeared IN
newspapers and as 1t occurred after the
return from Manila, where there had
been some friction with the German
authorities. the affair was treated With
more significance than perhaps the.
circumstances otherwise would have
warranted. The navy department call
cd on the admiral for an explanation
The admiral replied that no ,disrespeet
was meant by him toward the German
emperor and with this the statement
was allowed TO drop.
ADMIRAL Coghlan; was native OF
kentucky. where he -yas born in S44,s
In the course of his distinguished
career he had active service in the
CivilAwar and in the Spanish war. He
was second in command OF the north
Atlantic squadron m board the flag
ship Brooklyn and Olympia from June
1902. to April 1901, and more recently

AMERICAN BIG
GUNS ARE BEST

Washington, Dec. 5.-In his annual.
miral Mason chief of the bureau Of
ordnance, declares that the Pinch
guns mounted on the eight latest of our
5battleships already in commission are
on an equality or superior in power to
any 12-inch gun yettafloat anywhere in
the world, and the 12-inch guns of our
battleships In course of construction
will be equal or superior in power to.
any 12-inch foreign gunHon which we
nave authentic information. Antici-.
spating the possible need of more
powerful gun than any now in use, he
favors the partial rcmodeiing of the.
naval gun shop factory at the Wash
5ington navy yard in order to construct
an Immense l4-inch gun designed to
fire q 1,4e0-pound pBc1eclile.
The manufacture and preservation
OF ammunition remains a great problem
for the bureau, of ordnance. admiral
Mason explains. In this connection the

plants are probably nov such that,
during the continuance of peace this
government may be considered neces-

commends that the factory at Indian
head be extended but that 1t be run
less than it's full capacity, SO that
enough work will be left for private
plants to encourage their owners to
maintain them in condition and to re-
tain their valuable forces of chemists
and workmen.
Speaking of the satisfactory results
of firing tests on the monitor Florida
last spring, the admiral says it was
