VeWS, DieLOS and GOSSIP
From Gay NeO York

| bank Irregularities. Friends of Morse
continue to assert that his trouble was
due to the Vaccinations of powerful
enemies in Wall street and that he
has been more sinned against than
SHINING" The jubilation that fol-
lowed Morses conviction has about
died out and the public is beginninfi
to entertain the theory that Morse is
but a victim of men higher up on the
financial ladder. In the mind of the
unprecedented observer there turks lit
tie doubt that the ex-ice king is being
offered up as vicarious sacrifice for
the sins of many financiers guilty of
worse practices and more culpable
juggling with other peoples money.
Good BY, Sandy Hook.
Sandy Hook lightship, that old apd
venerable friend of the mariner and
of all who go down to the sea in
ships, will shortly disappear and be
known no more forever. Thus will
vanish an institution which is per-
haps the most famous of its kind in
the annals of American navigation.
The official passing of the old light
ship is set for next Tuesday and only
the ripping waves will sing her re-
quiem
The Ambrose Channel lightshin"
will replace the Sandy Hook vessel.
With the opening of the channel for
which the new lightship is named YES
sells will not pass within three miles
of Sandy Hook, and soon the old route
will be but dim memory in the minds
of ancient mariners. The lighthouse
board has officially declared that nav
igators must use the new name for
the new lightship, despite the protests
of many sentimental persons to whom
Sandy Hook is more than a name. The
first Sandy Hook lightship to beckon
a welcome to mariners was put in
place more than half a century ago,
but the present and last ship of the
Sandy Hook station has been in COM
mission only sixteen years.
Save the Garden.
That New Workers. are not utterly
lacking in civic pride was conclusively
proven when the proposition to sell
Madison Square Garden was first
preached. A veritable storm of pro-
test swept over the town and thou
sands Joined in the demand that the
Garden be saved from the ruthless
and destroying hands of the Vandals
of Business. 1t was a refreshing ex-
hibition of a sentimentality such as
few imagined could exist in the few
cred heart and ~money-mad mind of
old Gotham. 1t remains
o be observed whether this sentiment
will take the concrete form of dollars
md cents.

The publication Of the letter. coming

Monday, declaring that he is out of
money and that he has not the means
to make an adequate defense. He has

PROHIBITIONS WAVE.

There are ten states in the Upion
in which prohibition is in vogue, as
follows: Georgia, Oklahoma, Ala
bama, North Carolina, Mississippi,
Tennessee, Iowa, North Dakota,
Kansas and Maine. South Carolina,
Kentucky, Virginia, Delaware,
Maryland, Florida, Louisiana, Mon
tana, Colorado, Wisconsin, Michi-
gan, Minnesota, Nebraka, South
Dakota, Texas, California, New
Hampshire, Arkansas, Missouri,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Rhode Island,
Oregon, Vermont and Connecticut
are all local option" states. Our
own state belongs neither to the local
option nor the prohibition class, but
favors high license. 1t is the opinion,
however, that at the next general
election the voters will place Idaho in
the rank of local option states.

OF INTEREST TO THE FARMER.

A three foot gap can make useless
three miles of good fence.
Just hold on to yourself till the land
is dry enough to work without being
lumpy.
There are fewer red noses among
farmers than among any other class of
people on earth.
Keep out of the stock market; it is
filed with snares and pitfalls and is
no place for an honest man.
Steer clear of store debts. They are
mortgages on the future, drawing
compound interest.
Don't think you can carry the world
on your shoulders. Give the rest of
the folks chance to lift with you.
Many a man who strongly objects to
pumping water for half-dozen cows,
thinks nothing of sitting around for
half day pumping his neighbors.

TRIBUTE TO AMERICAN cIRLHooD.

The following tribute to American
girls of today is from an. exchange
There is no sex, nor race, nor color
more worthy of such tributes than
American girls; not that they have
been sighted, or belittled, but just
cause they're girls.
Some people seem to deem the
girl of today" of no account COM
pared with the girl in grandmother S
time. This is mistake. The girl
of today is a hustler. She does the
clerking, the typewriting, the book
keeping and the school teaching OF
the country. She is crowding the
boy off the earth because he is too
slow, too indolent, too Indifferent,
too busy drinking, playing pool and
fishing to keep in step with her. In
America women are not only doing
housekeeping better than it was
ever done before, but half the other
work as well. She shines in the
college, makes up three-fourths OF
the graduating classes in the high
schools, does most of the church
work, conducts literary clubs, beau
tihes a park, roots for the home
baseball team, and leads colleges,
illuminating literary clubs and liter
airy functions. She visits the sick,
dispenses charity. Besides all this,
she finds time to listen to the lovemak-
ing of some weak man who needs a
wife to take care of him. We tell
you, the modern girl is strenuous.
She is dandy

knowledge as to the person guilty OF
setting fire to the ]. E. Mcbride build
ing which was destroyed by hre one
night last week at Vollmer was held
at that place last Friday. The case
was submitted and taken under adj
visement by the court. To have knowl-
edge of the identity of person guilty
of arson and to not disclose the same,
or to attempt to reveal the same,
makes the person having such lntor-
nation subject to the same laws as
apply to the person actually guilty OF
the act of arson.
County Attorney Needham stated
yesterday the case against Baldwin
was based upon evidence given by
Mr.. Mcbride, owner of the building,
that Baldwin had told him he knew
the person who burned the building;
that he had accompanied him to a
point near the structure, but that his
"heart went back on him. at that
time and he withdrew. Baldwin at
the preliminary examination denied
having made such a statement to
Mcbride, alleging if he did so it was
due to drunkenness and he had no
recollection of it. He contended
that he had no knowledge whatever
of the person guilty of the act.

This play has achieved one of the hits
OF last season. 1t contains liberal
portions Of rafting comedy and dra-
matte thrills. 1t is built up Of the
material that appeals to theatre soers
who admire simple virtues. The vii
lian can always be relied upon to al
ways merit the hatred of the audience
and the comic gentleman has an iron
bound contract with the audience that
that he be given an opportunity to
furnish laugh every thirty seconds.
The Denver Express admits of novel

senting it has well-established repu
tation for effective work. The en-
gagement is booked for next Monday
night. February 18th.
