Free Mustard.

James Russell Lowell said, "All dea. cons are good. but there are odds in deaeons." and it may be added that there are odds in other varieties of men.
 Squire Blank was not only the rich est man in his village. but the stingi- est as well Nothing gave him such keen delight as to set something for nothing One day he and several of hIs neighbors had been in conference with a manufacturer who coutem- plated establishing a mill in the town. The conference was held in the one store of the village. and at its close the manufacturer stepped up to c showcase containing cigars and said:
 Have e cigar. gentlemen"
 All the men selected cigar except Squire Blank He did not smoke. Therefore he said:

The Ordeal by Fire.

The really strong scene of the play had arrived and the amateur hero braced himself for the effort. The house into which the willy villain had entrapped him was on fire, and his thrilling escape from the burning strue- ture was where he was going to bring down the house.
 q am chokingw he cried. 'The smoke is overpowering me!'
 That would have been all right ex. cept for the fact that there was no smoke, and 1t seems unreal to choke with smoke when there isn't any smoke to choke with.
 'sThe fiamesw he cried. 'The flames T feel them!"
 But the flames were absent also. He glanced into the wings and realized what had happened. Some one had damped the red fire.
 It was a moment of terrible strain. Nothing relieved the situation. and he lost his head and rambled on about the Are that no one could sec. It was awful, and 1t was worse when big brute in the gallery beloved forth:
 Never mind the fire. guv'nor! Get on with your job!'

RACE TRACK GAMBLING
President of Stanford UDiver.
 Sify Condemns Il.

San Francisco, Feb. 2S.--In an ad. dress before mass meeting under the auspices of the newly organized California anti-race track league at the First Congregational church oi Berkeley last night, President Davit Starr Jordan, of Stanford university, discussed Dissipation and the Strug- gles Against It." condemning gamb ling, smoking and drinking habits and overturning the generally accept ed theory of heredity.
 You are beginning fight against the race track and its attendant evils he said. Tt is the right of the people to suppress these evils just as much as 1t is their right to make laws governing sanitary conditions One of the main evils attendant upon life of the race track is dissipation of various kinds, due to the fact that the gambler leads not a life full of activities, but one full of nervous ex- citement, resulting in nerve waste. His outlook upon life is bad. The doctors, not the ministers, should be the greatest enemies of intemperance for they know the harm it works upon the system. This is on the basis of economics and not of morals"
 In dealing with heredity in connec- tion with vice, he said: ..
 Every child comes into the world free born. By this I mean that he is all his father and mother should be. Therefore, brought up in right conditions, he has good chance of becoming worthy citizen, not sub ject to vice"

PRISON AND JAIL
Two Young Men Sentenced by
 Judge Reed This Afternoon.

This afternoon in the superior court Joseph Camoratte, 22, and Guilo Waldo, IS, pleaded guilty to statutory rape. In the first named case Anna Marie Lucia, aged IA years, was the complaining witness. The crime was committed about two years ago and it was only three months ago when Camoratte, think ing the matter had blown over, re- turned to town and called upon the girls parents to ask her in marriage. The girls father said he would think about it, but this was only to get time to inform the police of the mans presence in town. Judge Reed sentenced him to not less than one year and not more than one year and half in the state prison.
 In the other case the chief wit ness was Lucia Zappone, aged IS years. Volda was keeping company with the girls sister, and both of them sat directly behind Volda as he stood facing the judge before sen tence was passed. And they seemed to enjoy their surroundings for they were laughing the whole time.
 The court said that in view of the circumstances and the age of the ac- cused he would not send him to the state prison, but would commit him to jail for one year, which he ac- cordingly did. This disposed of the business for the week.
 The cases for trial next week are Michael Camarado, assault with in tent to kill; Rafael Landino, assault with intent to murder; Pasquale Co., Jumbo, with intent to kill, and Sal va tore Guanari, assault with intent to kill.
 The week following will be taken up with the cases against Leonardo Sanele for the murder of Vito Sulnma, and Demetrio Maesano for the murder of one Vazzanni, and the week after that will be occupied H. hea ing the cases against three trol. leynlen and a flagman for accidents that cost life.

GUGGENHEIM TALKS.
Says Metal Business Has Suffered
 During Depression.

New York, Feb 2S.-Danicl Gug- genheim. president of the American Smelling and Refining company, who will sail on Tuesday for three months vacation abroad. talked yes terday of general business condi- tions.
 .'The metal business as whole" said Mir Guggenheim, "has suffered in this depression more severely than was to have been expected of even such sensitiv barometer of business conditions. Coppers. in my judg- ment, has taken the place formerly held by steel and iron as the index of business conditions. The metal felt the reaction last year, months in ad- vance of steel and general mercan- tile enterprises. Indications point to Il turn upward in the tide, as it is seen in copper. Enterprises which were halted incomplete last winter will be finished now. In my iudg- mcnt there will be . large improve ment by summer and a steady better ment throughout the year. By the time the elections have been decided, fresh capital will be forthcoming.
 "Wall street Is undoubtedly blue. If is my opinion that present condi- tions do not warrant so much pessi- mism. Wall street is no doubt the barometer of the country's markets. but think it Is more sensitive tO a coming decline than to a succeeding recovery"
 Mr Guggenheim is taking his first vacation in two years with Mrs Gug- gpnheim. He will divide his time be- tween the RiverIa and Italy.

EXTRADrTIoN CASE.
Walkers Counsel Says Papers Arriv.
 ed Too Late.

San Diego. Cal. Feb. 2s.-The hearing of the extradition case of William F. Walker. the defaulting treasurer of the Savings bank of New Britain. was held to-day at Ensenada, Lower California. before Judge Car dena of the federal court. Walker was represented by F. H. Ramierz.
 The main argument of Ramierz was that Connecticut had lost her rights under the treaty by failing tc get the extradition papers to Enssn- ada inside of the 70 days specified in the treaty. Ramierz showed that the American authorities held very closely to this clause and that Msxi- ran embezzlers had been freed on American soil because Mexico has failed to observe this clause.

Women as Chemists.

1T is ineXpedient publicly to en-
courage women to adopt chemistry as
a professional pursuit"
In this concise way is expressed the
view OF those members of the Chem
ical society of Great Britain who dis
approve of the proposal to allow wom-
en- to become members.
Out of 3,400 papers read on per-
sonal researches during the last 50
years, only % have been contributed
by women alone There is a growing
desire, however on the part of many
of our leading scientists to admit wom-
en- chemists TO membership, and, as
the wish has met with the strongest
opposition from other members the
question is being put to a ballot
Nine. Curie is at present the only
woman member, and she has been
made merely an honorary fellow,

ity for office ON the council.

WORTHY OF FLAG SHE CARRIED.
Historic Incident Participated in by
American Warship.

OF the old sloop of war ST. Mary's,
now to be consigned in her siXty-fifth
year to the tender mercies of the auc-
ton, it is written that she bore no
conspicuous part in war in all her long
service. This may be true, but the
st. Mary's ives once associated with
an event which is worthy of commem-
Grafton. Under the command of the
late Capt Colvocoresses she was the
means, 40 or more years ago, of post
poning the bombardment of Valparaiso
by the Spanish fleet. She was
anchored before the city, and the
Spanish admiral limited that she was
in the line of fire. Capt. Colvocor-
esses remarked that he was perfectly
satisfied with his berth, and that while
the ST. Mary's carried but % guns,
she represented a navy that had 2200
guns at sea. Valparaiso was event
ually bombarded, but not while Capt.
Colvocoresses was present. The pc
culiar name of the ship commence
rates an early colonial capital of
Maryland. 1t was given in the same
spirit of historical association as was
illustrated by the Jamestown and
the Plymouth, her sister ships.

Mischief Done b. GuIIs.

That many OF the gulls have become
far too numerous during the last Ia
or 20 years, thanks to coddling and
overmuch protection, has become u
patent fact to those who observe and
understand the habits of these birds
Here and there measures are being
taken to lessen the plague, and by
some few county councils the protec
ton once accorded has been with
drawn.
Gulls are responsible for an enor
nous destruction of fish, as we'll as
raids on the eggs and young of various
birds. In many parts of Scotland the
lesser black backed gulls have become
the veriest vermin, in this respect
rivaling the hooded crow and common
rock, the latter another recent de

SIMPLY A DEMAND FOR PROOF.
Philadelphia Journals Summing UP of
Betsy Ross Incident.

The Betsy Ross legend is quite
harmless. Anybody may believe it
who will. 1t is like the story of
Washington and the cherry tree. No
body can prove that the youthful
Washington did not chop a cherry
tree. Very probably he did, and quite
as probably he did not lie about it.
But if it We're proposed to erect a
public monument to mark the spot
where the cherry tree stood, we should
ask for some more certain evidence of
the accuracy of the story than Par
son Weems long subsequent nara
tive. That is all that the historians
appear to be asking about the Betsy
Ross legend They are not attack
ing the memory of that estimable
woman, nor the veracity of her de
scendants. Family tradition is to be
respected But family tradition that
is not supported by contemporary rec
ords or other historical evidence is an
insufficient basis for an official in
dorsement that is supposed to be au-
thoritative and conclusive Nobody
wishes to spoil a good story, but
those who are satisfied with family
traditions ought not to ask anything
more.-Philadelphia Ledger.

IRRITABLE MAN HAS A "klck."
Misuse of Apostrophe and Quotation
Marks, Not to Mention "kndIy."

There are two things that are mis-
used a great deal" said the irritable
man, and the mishandling of them
annoys me lot. For one thing, some
persons haven't the vaguest idea of
the proper use of the apostrophe.
I've seen a word written this way,
AUTOS which is meant only to indi-
cate the plural of auto. Now, there
isn't the very slightest excuse for
that and it makes me sore every time
see it. Then again, other folks don't
know what to do with quotation
marks. | have seen a sign on an ele-
waited station reading, Keys with
the agent Now. what earthly use
are those quotation marks about the
words keys and agent? None. none at
all. There isn't any rhyme or reason
in it,"
'Well,' replied his listener, there's
another as bad as that. There's The
use OF the word kindly You hear Il
lot of folks using that atrocious vaude-
vile phrase Thank you, kindly
That makes me sick saw the other
day in Brooklyn a sign, Gents will
kindly not smoke. Only gents would
use that sort of language"
