the city, having arrived here last
night at ten o'clock. Mr.. Miller is
passing through eroute from Chicago
to Seattle, and is making his trip,
which represents in all about 24OO
miles, on foot. He left Chicago on
July LIST, and upon his arrival here
had walked 1860 miles. He will
leave for Spokane in the morning.
His route led through the states
of Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Da-
kota, Montana and northern Idaho.
He is making his trip on a wager
by Chicago parties and in order to
win his wager must be in Seattle by
the last of February. He is of the
opinion that he viii be there a great
deal sooner than that, probably by
two or three weeks. During the
greater part of the trip from Chicago
he has followed the Northern Pacific
track.
Mr.. Miller from time to time as he
journeys on sends to the Chicago
Tribune a letter descriptive of the
country through which he passes
and also letters dealing with the In
dustrial and commercial questions
of the different states through which
his journey leads. Besides this he
collects data and material which he
expects to use after his trip is con-

GIRL AMBULANCE SURGEON
Won Against Applications Of Many

Won Against Applications Of Many
Men.
NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-New
York now has feminine ambulance
surgeon for the first time in its his
tory. She is DR.. Marry Merritt Craw-
ford, a Cornell honor girl, whose
home is in Nyack, and who today be-
came inferno In the Williamsburg
hospital, Brooklyn. She defeated for
the place many men who competed
with her and who sneered at what
they appeared to think her foolish
pretensions. After serving as an in
terne until June l next, Miss Craw-
ford will take her regular turn on
ambulance duty and race the fires,
wrecks and other places to minis
ter to the injured. Great interest is
manifested in medical circles at this
innovation, and opinion is divided
among ambulance surgeons as to
whether a woman can make good"
in the active duties required by the
position.
Dr. Crawford is only % years of
age. She graduated from Cornell
university medical college last June
with high honors. After her grad
uation the young physician decided
that she wanted hospital experience
and particularly the surgical part of
it. She applied to Williamsburg
hospital for a place on the stan.
Many young men who had just been
graduated W re applicants for the
same position. A regular exami-
nation to pass upon the fitness of the
applicants was held.
She hasn't a chance OF passing,
declared one wise young doctor
Being a girl is a terrible handicap
in the medical profession
The other wise NJ. DIS hailed this
statement with a chorus of assent
and dismissed the pretensions of this
Nyack girl with a shrug of contempt
When the examination was completed
however, and the result announced
the smiles of the young men faded
Miss Crawford had clearly demon
strated the superiority of her medi
cal knowledge. and was selected fol
the coveted place.

people from the North and East are
now hocking to Florida and will take
advantage of the opportunity to visit
Jacksonville's big show. Great In
terest is also manifested in the ex-
position by the citizens OF Florida
and surrounding states.
The location of the exposition is
excellent, being directly on the water
and only five minutes by ferry from
the heart of the city. The Palace of
Industry a triumph of architectural
art, is the main exposition building,
and is surrounded by numerous
smaller buildings and concessions.
The "Warpath" at the jamestown
exposition has furnished many of
it's most amusing and entertaining
exhibitions for the Jacksonville fair.
In addition to these shows, an ex-
tensive program of automobile races
motor boat speed contests and other
sporting and amusement features has
been provided for.
NJ. Kushibiki, who was commits
sioner general for Japan at the
jamestown exposition, is the director
general of the Florida international
exposition, and has been working In
cessantly for months to make the fail
success. The Jacksonville fair ha!

Every Home in MOurning---Identi-
flying the Dead

ROYERTOWN, Pa, Jan. 15.-
When darkness last night put a stop
to the work of recovery of the dead
from the ruins of the Rhoades opera
house, the official roll of victims num-
bered 1877. 1t is the belief of those
who had charge of the grewsome
work that all of the dead have been
removed and that the total list of
victims will not go over 10. The ra-
flo of women and girls to men and
boys is about 9 to /.
Most of the bodies are lying in a
confused state at the four Impressed
morgues and today the work of iden-
tifcation is slowly progressing. Many
bodies are so badly burned as to be
unrecognizable.
The population of the place is
about $500 and the disaster paraliz-
ed the town and the people are going
about dazed. 1t is safe to say that
everyb body in the place either lost one
or more relatives or was intimately
acquainted with one who died in the
FIRE In several cases whole families
we're wiped out.
Coroner Slasser, of Reading, who
reached the scene shortly after mid
night had a detail of men ready to
tag bodeis and keep a description OF
every corpse removed. The bodies
we're SO badly burned, however, that
there was little to, describe them and
not all of them will ever be identified
The Philadelphia & Reading rail-
road company offered to help and
soon had two carloads of laborers
and carpenters on the ground. The
work of removing bodies then was
carried on so rapidly that victims
we're being taken out of the ruins al
the rate of one every five minutes.
1t is claimed that there were doz.
en- or more kerosene lamps behind
the curtain which were used in the
performance and which, it is said
aided in the explosion.
DR.. Frank r.. Drummer, of Wash
ington township is believed to have
persisted. DR.. Drummer stood high il
the medical councils of the state, was
a frequent writer to the press ant
for 40 years was a power in democrat
lie politics.

CAUSED
LANE. TRAGEDY
Verdict of COrOner's Jury--FuneraI
of the Victims

The coroner's jury, which was
empanelled TO hold an inquest over
the remains OF Rhoda Norton. who
was murdered on last Monday after
noon by Henry Beythan. and also
over those of Beythan, who after
killing Miss Norton, committed sui
eide by shooting himself, returned
verdict last night. The verdict OF
the jury as to the death of Miss Nor
ton was murder. and as TO that OF
Beythan. suicide.
II Is the prevailing opinion OF the
citizens OF Lane that Beythan at the
time he killed Miss Norton, his sis
ter-in-law, and endeavored to kill
his wife, afterwards shooting him
self, was mentally deranged. II Is
learned that the ancestors of Bey-
than were tainted with insanity, and
a few days before he committed the
deed, Beythan Is said to have acted
strangely. 1t is also learned anthem
tically today that Beythan thought
a great deal Of Miss Norton-that
he entertained q sort OF plalonie
friendship for her. and could not
bear TO see her In the company OF
other men, but insisted that she
must bestow her attentions upon
him. This she did not do. but from
time to time kept the company OF
other men, aad II is thought thai
this fact aroused Beythan's jealousy
and wore upon him to the extent
that his mind became unbalanced
No trouble 1. seems had ever exlstec
betweent Beythan and his wife. but
on the contrary their married rela
ton had always been a very happ,
one.
The funeral of Beythan was helS
yesterday afternoon and that Of Mis-
Norton was held this afternoon. Boti
were buried at Lane.
One OF the peculiar features OF tn
case Is that Beythan was buried pri
or to the return of a verdict BY th'
cOrOner's jury. Judge HedAl OF thi
place had been notified to go to IN,
scene and hold the inquest. but Of
his arrival there, he found that 1
had been held the night before. A

EMPLOYS SUPERINTENDENT


ton Another Year.
Superintendent H. H. Barton, of
the Occur d'Alene high school, was
elected for the fourth time at the re-
Gently held meeting of the school
board. When the professor first took
up his work as superintendent Of the
high school he did 30 at a salary of
$1,000 year, but since then as his
duties and work increased, he has
been given a raise until now he draws
a salary Of $500 a year.
Beyond the reelection Of Professor
Barton nothing was done by the
board save regular routine work.
Trustee Branson, when seen with
relation to the meeting, stated that
the board was highly pleased with
the showing made by the schools. He
stated that the schools were in a good
and prosperous condition and that in
every department perfect harmony
prevailed. He attributed the splen-
did condition of the schools to the
fact that the board had adopted the
policy of making all instructors sub
ordinate to the superintendent, and
also the fact that the board made 1t
incumbent upon those having any
grievances, to present them to the
board in writing. THE adoption of
these methods by the board" said Mr..
Branson," has had the effect of elimi-
mating all discord, both on the board
and among the corps of teachers"

stormy Session With President
Causes Resignation.

Causes Resignation.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 15.-Secre-
tary cortelyou has resigned. This Is
a report that comes, coupled with his
return from New York last night. One
story current her Is that the presi-
dency Of the KnickerbOcker Trust
company has been offered to him. The
story runs that Cortelyou resigned at
the close of a stormy private session
with President Roosevelt, following
q cabinet meeting some time ago. IL
being alleged that Cortelyou's tenure
OF once in the cabinet was made inn
possible by a quarrel which he had
with President Roosevelt, following
representations made to the president
of Mr.. Cortelyou's alleged interior
ence with Taft's plan Of campaign.
Immediately after that Cortelyou left
the treasury department and went
home. explaining that he was sick of
lagrlppe. Since he has recovered
form the lagrIppe he has not been
near the department. He has attend
ed cabinet meetings, and after each OF
them has tried to persuade the presi-
dent, according to politicians, that he
was as much entitled to the support
Of the administration for the presi.
dency as Taft. The result OF his fail
ure. the gossips say, is his resigna'
ton.
