Expected Cannon to Quit.
1t had been generally understood in
Washington that Speaker Cannon
would surrender the speakership at
the end of the next session, and that
Representative Hepburn, of Iowa,
would be chosen to succeed him. The
unexpected defeat of Hepburn. as well
as the defeat of Representatives Ov-
erstreet and Lands. of Indiana, elm
mates three of the most active men
on the speakership list.
Representative Burton, of Ohio. has
been considered as a likely candidate,
but he has a desire to succeed Joseph
B. Foraker as United States senator
from Ohio. Under these conditions
the reactionaries contend that there is
nothing left for Speaker Cannon to do
| but to accept another term.
The fact that he came to New York
| within day or two after the election
to make preliminary plans for his Sc

dinner given to Representative Sher-

PHONES TO PROTECT CROPS.
California Fruit Growers to Be Warmed

California Fruit Growers to Be Warmed
Of Sudden Temperature Changes.
The United States weather bureau
recently put into operation a plan by
which it is thought fruit growers
throughout the orange belt of San Ber-
nardino. Riverside and Los Angeles
counties will be given ample protec-
ton from damage to crops by frost.
SAYS Los Angeles dispatch.
In this district sudden changes In
temporal ure are not unusual during
winter months. and it has been found
that the printed charts issued by the
weather bureau do not insure sufil'
cient protection. especially in the re-
mote portions of the great orange belt.
Arrangements have been completed by
which 1t is possible to send warnings
by telephone at any hour of the day or
night. Substations have been estab-
lished, to which warnings will be sent.
and from these substations the warn
ings will be sent to growers. nearly all
of whom have telephones and can be
reached quickly. Whenever sudden
drop in temperature is expected 1t Will
be known at Los Angeles in ample
time for the growers to protect their
crops by smudging or in other ways.
A clerk will be on duty at the Los
Angeles Office Of the weather bureau at
all hours to send out such warnings.

Tho Ruling Passion.
(Washington Starr

Don Marine Torlonia, of the ducial
family of Torlonia of Rome, said at a
dinner party in New York that GER
tain American millionaire reminded
him of the famous Roman miser, Ar
pagnio.

smiling, show you what a tremend-
Gus miser Arpagnio was. AS he lay
dying in his cold, dark, bare palace of
stone on the Corso his one thought was
that, since he was too ill to eat, full
lire day was being saved on the food
bill. The doctor was announced. The
DOCTOR after feeling Arpagnio's pulse,
looked grave.
"Well,' said the miser, how much

Livina on Skunk Skins.

Pennsburg, Pain spite of unpleas-
ant features connected with skunk
hunting, a considerable number of men
follow that employment during the
winter months in the rural districts
north and west Of Pennsburg. One
of those who makes a regular business
of trapping this odoriferous animal is
Alfred Bortz. who has established his
headquarters on the property in Low
er Macungle township that was for
merly known as the Keinert peach or
chard Near by are abandoned iron
ore mines, and the shafts of these
mines are q favorite haunt of the
SkunkS.
Bortz has set twenty traps about the
shafts; and every morning he makes
the rounds of the traps, collecting the
animals that have been caught during
the night. In ten days he caught
seventeen skunks, and he considers
this profitable. For the pelt Of black
skunk he gets 81, while the striped
variety brings so to Is cents. He also
sells the oil obtained from the ami
mails.
C. r. Shaffer of Limeport and his
brother, made a notable capture OF
skunks few days ago, trapping six
of the "cats" in one hole. AS four
of them were black, the catch added
materially to their spending money.
Many furs sold under various high
sounding names are made of the pelts
of the IN mble skunk or the muskrat.
OF both q hese large quantities are
shipped fS> this region to furriers
of Philadelphia and New York. Many
Of these hides eventually reach Eu-
rope, where they are sold as monkey
skins. OF course, if they We're offered
as plain skunk furs there would be
little sale for them among fashionable
women.

Mistakes pop for Water WAGON

Chicago.-It was simply a case of
mistaken identity. Robert Wilson, AZ
years old, was looking for the water
wagon.
When he saw pop wagon belonging
to the Manhattan Brewery company
at Thirty-fifth street and Cottage
Grove avenue he concluded it was
what he was looking for and climbed
aboard.
Presently Mr.. Wilson heard some
thing pop behind him. He turned to
look. One of the bottles had blown
open and something was fuzzing out
Of it. Wilson passed his hot, dry tongue
over his lips and stared.
Then despair seized him and he
seized the bottle. He threw it into the
air. 1t came down with a sudsy crash
He wondered if he could throw one

The first time he pulled her from in

She was picking coal and did not hear

FUTURE OF AERoPLANEs.
Farman Expects Five Hour Aerial
Line Between Paris and London.

Farman Expects Five Hour Aerial
Line Between Paris and London.
Henry Farman. the French aeronaut
who recently won the Deutsch-Arc
deacon prize in an interview at Paris
on the future of aerial navigation said
that the best results III aerc'plane trav-
ell would be had from combination OF
the principles Of the Bleriot machine
and. the cubic cellular aeroplane used
by Santos-Dumont and himself. For
the present he regards aeroplanes as
purely sporting machines, but expects
their development to be rapid and
foresees the time when an aeroplane
omnibus will cover the distance be-
tween Paris and London In five hours.
Nj. Farman feels certain that within
twelve mouths aeroplanes will be able
to travel seventy-fve to hundred
miles at an insignificant cost compared
with the expense of running an auto
mobile for the same distance.
