BRAZIL MARKET LOST.
Photograph Films Not Able to Stand
Climate as Made in America.

American manufacturers OF photogra PHI
supplies have lost a good market in Brazil
according to a report from Consul George
A. Chamberlain of Pernambuco, owing
to the fact no dependence could be. placed
in American films.
Goods shipped there were of no use in a
tropical climate. and the market was
neglected, he says.
Two European manufacturers, having a
film which is protected by an enamel and
wrapped in damp-proof paper capable
of withstanding the intense heat of a
tropical climate. are said to be practically
in control Of the market
The greater part of the cameras sold
are of English or German make. but
should an American agency be establish
ed, says the consul, there is little doubt
1t would receive a fair share of business

ROUND UP COUNTERFE|TERS
ALLEGED BOGUS MONEY MEN
CAUGHT IN THE WEST. &,
Fire in Residence in Chicago Incl.
dentally Responsible for Arrest
of Gang Of Suspects. >.

CHICAGO, November 23.-Secret service
operatives believe they have captured q
gang which has been making bogus
tive-d dollar bills and circulating them
in Chicago for several months. Three
persons were arrested in Chicago and
Joliet Saturday. A fire in a West Side
residence i'm which $4,000 of counter
felt money had been planted was in
cidentalTy responsible for the arrest OF
the alleged counterfeiters. The building
was partly burned about three weeks ago.
When the flames were noticed by neigh
bors they ran to the house and attempted
to force an entrance. They were con-
fronted by two men with revolvers. who
prevented them from entering. When
questioned the men said they could extin-
guish the blaze without the aid OF the
fire department or any one else.
This act excited suspicion, but the au
thorities were not informed until they be-
gan an investigation, which was caused
by the finding Of partly burned five-
dollar bill by a milkman OF the lake
front. The milkman sent the bill -
Washington to be redeemed. There 1t was
found that the money was counterfeit.
Uncle Sans Sleuth's Get Busy.
The federal authorities Immediately be-
gan an investigation, which was headed
by John r.. Wilkie, chief OF the secret
service, who is at present in Chicago
Every fire in the city which had aroused
suspicion was inquired into. until finally
the government agents obtained a report
Of the blaze on the West Side.
1t was learned that the partly burned
building housed a gang of counterfeiters.
which had on hand the $4,000 in bogus
currency. After the fire this imitation
money was dumped into the lake, and the
bill that was found by the milkman was
one that had been washed ashore.
Miss lola parkinson. who was arrest
ed Saturday at the same time that Ed
ward Logan and Leo Brown were cap
tured, was allowed to remain yesterday In
her room at a hotel. 1t is believed SHE
gave the secret service men the informa-
ton which led to the arrest Of the two
men in Memphis. Brown is being held at
Joliet and Logan Is prisoner at the
county Jail. Two of the men under arrest
are said to be engravers.

MATADoRs FORM A TRUST.
Spanish Public Fears Curtailment Of
Its Popular Amusement.

Special Cabegram to The Star.
MADRID, November 23.-The industry
Of bull-fightiug is seriously menaced ow-
ing to trust formed by the matadors.
and the Spanish public is greatly
alarmed at the possibility of its most
popular amusement being abolished. For
some time the matadors have been dis
satisfied with the rate of pay conceded
by managers Of bull-rings, and they have
dsmanded increased remuneration in view
of the savage character OF many of the
bulls.
At meeting of the principal matadors
Of Seville, Madrid and Cordova, It was
agreed to demand the double fee of
$1,000 each performance whenever bulls
Of the Miura breed are used. These bulls
are especially dangerous.
The matadors declare that they will
boycott all rings where the Increased
rates are nat granted. The managers
are disposed to close the rings rather
than comply, and the crisis has created
great excitement.

Violence Threatened.

The bitterness of the colored brother
over his defeat by the bread and butter
brigade in the republican convention
committee is making itself felt in fierce
threats. The special object of his hatred
are colored delegates from the south,
whom he charges with betraying the
interests of the race simply because they
hold small federal Offices. A dispatch
from Chicago says
Negro orators counseled the organ
ization of midnight Kuklux Klans and
the shedding of blood as remedies for
political wrongs at Bethel A. NJ. F.

negro men and women gave way to a
frenzy of enthusiasm and applauded
and cheered until the rafters shook

South Dakota Repentant.

AS development in one of the most
earnestly discussed social problems of
the day it is worth noting that the no.
torious divorce mill of South Dakota
is in fair way TO cease its grinding.
On Nov. 3, under the referendum
law, there will be presented to the
South Dakotans for approval or rejec-
ton a law providing that divorces
shall not be granted to any person mar
ried outside the state who has not re-
sided within Ms borders for at least
one year. This means the abolition of
the six months residence feature.
AS things are now, it appears that
the voters will pass the reform meas
ure with big majority. South Dakota
no longer needs the divorce colony
TO support its budding cities. nor does
its sturdy Scandinavian population rel
ish the unpleasant reputation which
the rapid untying of marriage knots
has brought their community. The
moral revolt is heightened by the wide
ly printed fact that out of $50 divorces
granted in the state last year 394 were
to non-residents, every one of whom
must have committed perjury when
taking the required oath that their res
idence was established in good faith
Both the friends and foes of divorce
must hope that the new law will find
its way on the statute books. South
Dakota's past record in the matter has
been not only state but national
disgrace

Humor aas Philosophy
By DUNCAN N. SMITH
AN IMPATIENT PATRIOT.

Willie is waiting for Fourth of July,
Counting the days to a fraction.
When he can listen to nothing but noise
And get his savings in action.
Carefully counting and adding thereto
All of the coins in his pocket, -
Wondering IL when the crackers are
bought
Some viii be left for rocket. -.
Willie is willing TO patiently work:
Labor to him is a pleasure.
Any old job on the list will sufice
If 1t will add to his treasure.
Fireworks are not expensive; but. then.
II he could get satisfaction
He must have money enough SO he may
Make il a wholesale transaction.
Persons much older and somewhat sedats
Are not in much of hurry.
They do not see. IL the time drags along
Any occasion for worry.
They have had since they were kids years
ago,
Fourth of July every season.
He has had less than a dozen OF them.
That may be part OF the reason.
Willie is waiting. It's all he can do.
Time like a sluggard is creeping.
Even with pleasures Ike that In advance
Still the old pace 1t Is keeping.
Everything eliminates with that event.
Day of rejoicing and powder.
Just one improvement that he could sug.
gest-
Make it a little bit louder.

any criticism of this particular ex-

The transaction was a perfectly legiti-

knowledge on the subject or that
knowledge of the transaction was to
