night regarding the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings instituted in Pittsburg, said
that he had already spent 100000 and
that there are additional claims

Continuing, Thaw said: ''It is bus

penses which | have been under dur

of them exaggerated. To pay these as
they are presented would entail the

M.kino ncinnsmonv canarles.

cinnamon canaries are the best
known of a mere handful of instances
where it is possible to change the color
Of a bird or animal by food. The trick
has long been known to fanciers, and
each claims to have his own secret for
working the miracle, but the process Is
really simple and consists In abundant
ly sprlnkling the birds food with red
pepper. 1t is a troublesome process,
for a large number of birds either re-
fuse to eat or suffer from deranged
digestion. Even Of those who take the
diet not more than a third or half
will show the color effects. The only
inducement TO the fanciers to produce
this curious change is that once SO
altered these birds have an artificial
value Dealers will tell you that in ad-
dltion TO the red pepper they give 9th
er red articles of food, such as tomato
skins. slices Of beet and the skins OF
red apples or cranberries. But this is
merely an innocent fallacy, based on
the idea that the coloring matter .e
food is transferred bodily to the feath-
ers.-Collier's Weekly.

The Insect and the Nat,

1t has been known for a long time
that an insect will not fly through a
net with meshes three or four times as
large ms its body. whereas bird will
go through mesh Of corresponding
size without hesitation. The insect can
not tell us why 1t stops and lights on
the net without trying to go through.
and Its peculiar action puzzled observ-
ers until the scientists took the matter
up. as they do all things Of that kind.
They say that the eye Of the insect Is
made up Of many facets. SO that the
net looks to 1t like continuous opaque
surface, the meshes not being appar-
ent. Therefore 1t stops or turns back
before 1t discovers that 1t might have
gone through the net without stopping
To the eye of the bird, however. the
meshes are plainly visible. and 1t goes
through without hesitation.

Denver. Colo. Sept 2S.-A most im- pOrtant discussion in the savings bank section of the American Bankers as- sOciation occurred at the afternoon session when the question of postal savings banks and the guaranty bank deposits were taken up.
 While it was evident that the senti- ment was practically unanimous against postal savings banks and oVerwhelm ing against the guaranty idea, -a re- spsctable minority tried to prevent ac- ton on the latter question, contending that it was a matter for a convention of all the members of the association to decide upon and not for a single section.
 Judge Schuette of Wisconsin was the only speaker in favor of a guaranty of bank deposits He opposed the estab lishment of a postal savings bank idea on the ground that it would establish lS.000 banks to compete with She other banks of the country. He favored the guaranty bank deposit plan in order to avert the postal savings banks and de- clared that the bankers of the country will have to face one or the other of the issues.

AMERICANS WARNED

Captain Wheeler Advises Them to Keep Out of Indian Country.

Bisbee, Ariz.. Sept. 29.-(SpeciaL)- The Review tomorrow will say: Through Captain H. c. Wheeler of the Arizona Rangers stationed at Naco on the Mexican border, nine miles south of this city. this afternoon is sued a warning against any American entering the Yaqui country in the state of Sonora. Acting for Governor Kib- bey of Arizona, Captain Wheeler also issued an official warning against the selling of arms to any Yaqui on the American side of the border. The warning is accompanied by a threat to enforce the severest federal penalties on the guilty
 That Poe and OLeary the two American prospectors were victims of the Yaquis has been positively learned by Captain Wheeler. For the first time today he also made public the horrible torture of s. l. Reilly, a Douglas min ing man who went into Sonora two years ago. Reilly was found bound hand and foot, and with his arms strapped tight to his body with jaura- chis or Yaqui lariet. lying in the midst of a bush of thorny Mexican cactus. Hundreds of poison cactus needles had pierced his flesh: otherwise no marks on the body. The fiends had also ex- tracted his gold filled teeth. The man may have lived for days, suffering un- speakable tortures before death. That is the fate that threatens every Amer ican who enters the Yaqui country now. The Yaquis will even kill a man for the clothes he wears. Torture is an instinct of the race.
