ton. He prevarIcated. I leased him. He told me that he had a government position, and that was all that 1 could get out of him for long while. Then suddenly he told me everything. l wondered why he who had so long been reticent should have changed so quickly. He answered my every ques- tion, and truthfully. The treaty was in his trunk in his stateroom. Did he not fear 1t would be stolen? No. There was q lock on the trunk that had been made for 1t. The key was of a peculiar kind. The next time we were on deck together, feigning to be moved by natural feminine curiosity, I leased him to let me see the key. He took it out of his pocket and handed it to me. Feigning an inten- tion to frighten him ran to the side of the ship and held 1t in my fist over the water. He didn't even follow me. So I took it back and gave it to him. I had provided myself with bit of wax and had squeezed an impression of the key.
 Pretending that had lost the key of my own trunk, called for one of the ships mechanics to make me an other from the wax impression. My victim invariably spent an hour or moro after dinner in the smoking room. took great risk. l entered his stateroom and with the key made from the impression opened the trunk. found the treaty, took 1t to my state room, copied it-it was in cipher-and got 1t back to the trunk in plenty Of time to avoid getting caught.
 With success came the pricking or conscience. told my victim of my circumstances, the loss of my father. my effort to obtain employment and ended by falsely telling him that | was going out to India to be gov erness. From that moment his manner changed toward me. had consid- cred before that my success was due to having won his heart Now l was sure of 1t. Then he asked me to be his wife.
 Now, for the first time. realized that if I had won him I had been won

PAYS ELECTION BET
!. BY BLACkING SHOES
Walter j. Rock Gives Attorney
Robert E.. Lyons a Shine
While Crowd Looks On
Amateur Yields Brush Because
He Believed Alderman
Would Win

Never was there a greater demon
stration of neighbOrhood spirit than
that witnessed at the corner of Hyde
and Union streets. in the forty-f1rst
assembly district, at noon Yesterday,
when Walter j. Rock, democratic
stalwart of the north end, publicly poll
ished the shoes of Attorney Robert E.
Lyons in settlement of an election
wager. During the recent campaign
Rock urged the election of Irving Ack-
erman to- the state senate from the
twenty fifth senatorial district, while
Lyons was a strong supporter of Lester
Burnett. the republican candidate. The
wager was the outcome of the rivalry
between these two workers and created
as much interest in the forty first on
election day as the battle of ballots
waged at the polls
The event was given widespread pub
licity in the northern part of the city
and attracted hundreds OF residents
from the assembly districts comprising
the twenty-fifth senatorial district Big
delegations Were on hand from Cow
hollow" Telegraph hill and North
beach. and when, promptly at noon,
Rock stripped off his coat and went to
work, a cheer went up that could be
heard for blocks
The affair took on the appearance of
a neighborhood celebration and the
hundreds of spectators indulged in
much persifiage a the expense of Rock,
who toiled with grim determination and
completed his task after fully Is min
utes of hard work. Among those pres
ent were Alderman. the defeated can
didate. and such lights of the north
end as Dr. Goodale, NJ II. Barry, Jim
Griffin and Billy Lyons. who came to
the scene in automobiles, accompanied
by friends William f. Barton appeared
In full dress and a squad of police from
the Bush street station lent tone and
dignity TO the occasion and incidentally
kept passageway clear for streetcars
and pedestrians.
AT the conclusion of the entertain
ment Ackerman made a short address
in which he felicitated Rock upon his
promptitude and gameness in fulfilling
the terms of the wager and paid
glowing tribute to his prowess as a

THREE WElCHERS
HIT BY DECISION
Williamsburg City, Indemnity
and Norwich Union COmpa-
nieS All in Same Boat

The decision OF the circuit court OF
appeal in the suit OF willard & 60.
against the Williamsburg City fire in
down last Saturday. will affect three
companies doing business In this state,
namely, the Williamsburg. Norwich
union and Indemnity.
1t will practically settle all claims
against all insurance companies whose
policies contain the same earthquake
clause. In view OF the decision it is
not regarded as probable that the court
OF appeal will grant writ Of review.
According to the general rule of the
court, it will not entertain an applica-
ttOn for a writ of review unless the
questions involved are of national i'm
pOrtance.
The policies of the Williamsburg and
the Norwich union and Indemnity con-
tanned the clause, The company shall
not be liable for loss caused directly
or Indirectly by Invasion or
for loss or damage OccasiOned by or
through any volcano. earthquake or
hurricane"
The clause does not state directly
or indirectly by earthquake" but by
or through" This was held by Judge
Van Fleet TO mean that in order to
claim exemption from liability under
the policy as written the company must
show that the earthquake was actually
the cause Of the loss
About 100000 is involved in the de-
cision Of the court. 1t practically set
ties all claims of the same character,
unless the company should be success
ful with an appeal to the highest court
About % similar suits are to be tried
January Il. 1909
The decision. while ii has a slight
bearing on the cases of the Palatine.
Alliance, Commercial union and other
earthquake clause companies. does not
affect them in any way.

Seedless Tomatoes

The production of any vegetable nov
city always arouses interest among not
only seed growers and gardeners, but
also among all those who use them in
any capacity. More or less of this work
has been done by the various expert
mental stations throughout the country,
and for a number of years breeding eX-
periments with vegetables have been
carried on at the New Jersey experiment
stations. Among the distinct and valu-
able productions secured in this work
is a nearly Seedless tomato. AS is well
known, each fruit of the ordinary to-
'mato contains hundreds of seeds, while
the form which has developed seldom
contains more than fifty seeds. and fire.
quentiy there are not more than five or
six. and often none at all.
This variety has become pretty well
established now and is called the Giant
because of the very large size that the
plant attains. 1t was originated some
five or six years ago. The flower clus-
ters are small; flowers cup shaped. light
um small, light yellow, and nearly seed
less.
The flesh is particularly fine favored
and the type appears to be well fixed.
but attempts to cross other varieties
upon il have uniformly failed.
In the experiments to produce seed
less tomatoes many very curious results
have been obtained. Practically all of
the crosses resulted in fruit that was
dwarfed in size, many in cluster being
not larger than peas, but solid feshed
and often of good quality. In one in
stance the fruit had the flavor of the
strawberry.
The work with seedless tomatoes is
8eing continued and promises to result
in the establishment of varieties with
far less seeds than the kinds now COM
monty grown.

Herman Schaffner Issues State.
ment Regarding Persecution
of John A. Hinsey

Herman Schaffner, grand keeper of
records and seal of the knights of
Pythias of the domain of California
has notified the lodges of the rein
statement of John A. Hinsey to mem
bership In the order, and in doing so
he uses the following language.
After seven years Of persecution that should
never have disgraeed fraternal organization the
supreme lodge, at its 1908 convention, reinstated
John A. Hinsey to membership. This brother
was accused OF having misappropriated and mis-
applied funds of the endowment rank Charges
were preferred against him I'm his lodge of which
nal OF the domain OF Illinois assumed original
jurisdiction and tried other charges preferred
against him, resulting in verdict of guilty
with penalty OF expulsion from the order
him were begun in the civil and criminal courts
of Illinois, all of which, with one exception
were subsequently dismissed by the plaintiff thus
eonressing lack of sufficient evidence to warrant
judgment. In one case only Judgment
rendered against him. from which Judgment he
Appealed TO the higher courts and which appeal
under compromise with the supreme lodge he
has agreed to dismiss
Thus is ended persecution actlated by NAL
Ice as the result of political differences between
Hinsey and ''pothouse'' politician of the state
OF wisconsin whom Hinsey thrashed on the floor
of the grand lodge OF that domain. During all
or these years OF persecution Hinsey had but one
friend who possessed the courage OF hts conyIc-
tions. and that man was John C. Burns of Ohio
1t can he truthfully said that Hinsey did nor
at any time, misappropriate any of the funds of
any branch Of the order
The most that could truthfully have been
charged against him was injudicious Investments
and yet every investment made by him as presI-
dent OF the board of control has netfed profit 10
the funds a the endowment rank. hope never to
witness tepetition Of this case during the re-
malnder of my membership In the~order for the
conditions were dsgraeeful to an organization
pretending to practice fraternity.

Meat inspection aids in preventing
the spread or extension of infectious
diseases. For example, the federal in
spectors at the large packing houses in
the west often find a large number of
cases of tuberculosis in a given carload
of hogs. The origin of the place from
whence that lot of hogs came is deter
mined, and not infrequently 1T is found
that the infected hogs were fed infected
milk products from a given dairy sup
piled with milk from tuberculosis
herd. The immense number of records
collected by inspectors at slaughter
houses give ample evidence of the
necessity for meat inspection.
