The extreme callousness of the old
English gamblers, or gentlemen, as
they were then called, is illustrated by
the following account which Horace
Walpole. the celebrated letter writer,
gives of curious occurrence at
Whites coffee house in London. In
one of his episties to Sir Horace Mann.
under date of Sept. l, 1850, he says:
They have put into the papers a good
story, made at Whites. A man dropped
down dead at the door and was carried
in. The club Immediately made bets
whether he was dead or not, and when
they were going to bleed him the wa
gerers for his death interposed and
said it would affect the fairness Of the
bet, and they stopped their Efforts

THREATEN A STRIKE
Telegraph Operators Say
Their Demands Must Be
Met by Companies.
THE TIME LIMIT Is SET.

Chicago, April 6.-Commercial teleg-
strike against the telegraph companies
Resolutions were adopted at Sunday S
meeting of the Chicago local favOring
a general strike against the Western
Union Telegraph company in all parts
Of the United States ana Mexico, to go
into effect June l. unless the demands
presented before the strike of last Au-
gust are granted in full before that
time.
The resolutions provide that the
until July l to meet the demands, and
in the event of both companies refus-
ing the men employed by the associat-
ed Press and the brokers and individu-
al corporations also be called out
Since the men returned to work last
November they charge that the West
ern Union company has reduced Wag-
eS 10 per cent, and more in some in
stances, and that while the Postal
company has made no general reduc-
tions that the employees resent. The
officers of the union assert that cOndi-
tons are such that they have nothing
to lose by risking another fight with
the companies.
The plan is. if the strikers decide to
strike, to embarraSs the wire service
from both national conventions.

ERNEST DIXON IS
ARRESTED AGAIN

PERCHED ON LEMON BOX HE
WAS APPARENTLY TRYING TO
GAIN ENTRANCE TO BUSINESS
HOUSE WHEN ARRESTED.
WAS TRYING THE LOCKS.

"Stung-by gum" remarked Ernest
Dixon of this city at an early hour
yesterday morning at Indianapolis. 1T
was surely a lemon box" Dixon had
inst been brought TO the pavement
from off his perch by policeman. he
was looking over a transom into an
East Washington street store and test
ing the locks, when the copper aided
materially in influencing him to de-
sist. Dixon is but sixteen years old
and only one week ago was released
from custody by the juvenile court al
ter he had promised to behave. He
had been arrested after breaking into
and robbing the Mag and Riley store
on Main street in company with How
ard Ashinger About o'clock last
Thursday morning Ashinger and Dix
on were seen in the vicinity of the
C.. c. & l.. station on North 1hlrd
street and it was believed at the time
they probably intended to leave the
city.
OF Dixon's latest escapade, the In
f1ianapolis Star says:
Ernest Dixon Of Richmond, Ind, was
assisted to the pavement from the po-
sition he had gained on lemon box
in front of an East Washington stree
store by Patrolman Henry Diener ear
~ yesterday morning. The sweat
box" applied by Capt. Adolph Asch
drew from the 16-year-Old lad the fact
that he had only a few days before,
with another boy, stolen $91 from a
grocery in Richmond.
Il got $35 out of it" he told the
captain, and they found us out. We
were to pay the money back"
And you thought to pay it back by
crawling through another transom and
stealing netting else ?" asked Capt
Asch.
The boy denied that this was the OBJ
feet of his curiosity in regard to East
Washington street transoms. The lad
had been wandering about on Wash.
ington street, east Of Alabama street
for several hours Saturday night, and
Patrolmen Diener and BOlen had been
watching him.
1t was after Bolen had been sent
Nome that the watching Of the boy be
came interesting. Dener remained in
the dark and watched the boy, but
while standing within the storm doors
of Walhalla Hall he saw young Dixon
mount lemon box and begin testing
the strength of a transom, and he
could wait no longer. Laying his hand
on the boys shoulder he assisted him
to the ground and then led him over
to police headquarters. He was charg
ed with lettering and his bond was fix
ed at $500

ODD PRESERVES.
Peach Leather of the south and wild
Rose jam of Europe.

Peach Leather of the south and wild
Rose jam of Europe.
Perhaps the oldest of all jams (some
of which is imported into this country
is made from red pulp obtained from
the seed vessels of the common wild
rose OF Europe. 1t is brick red in color
and, as might be imagined is in flavor
entirely unlike any other known kind
of preserve.
In parts of the south what is known
as peach leather" is made from peach
juice. which is put into bright pans and
dried in the sun. In the dry state it
looks a good deal like leather and is
eaten without further preparation keep
ing for an indefinite time.
There is commonly manufa ctrred in
Turkey a similar product from grapes,
the juice being evaporated to the con-
sistency OF molasses. Some -four is
mixed with it. and the stuff is spread
in thin sheets upon muslin, being then
exposed to sunshine for a couple OF
days.
In the same oriental country walnuts
are commonly strung upon Irvine and
after coating them with mixture of
grape molssses and sugar are dried.
Travellers bound on long journeys fire.
quently carry these strings of nuts,
which afford much nourishment in con-
centrated shape.
In California delicious strip is
made from orange juice. which Of
course is quite rich in sugar. And in

said to be particularly delicious, is not
unknown as a local product.-Philade

ENGLISH SPORT.
II Abounds In Graft That Would Not
BE Tolerated Here.

Tolerated
If there is any man on this earth,
white or black, who insists that his
expenses in competitive sport must be
no drain on himself, that man is the
Britisher. And he is quite right. An
amateur should be neither in nor out a
dollar. 1t is entirely proper that his
club, his college, his association or such
collection OF bodies as he represents
should pay his legitimate expenses
when he is sent to compete for that
college or club or association or union.
England goes much farther and gives
much more latitude in the matter of
expenses than we do. In cricket. for
example, amateur" players in England
whose services are desired for the
county championship series are liter
ally found during the entire season.
No graft of this kind could exist in
America without raising such storm
as would blow the whole thing to
kingdom come Nor would we toler-
ate the conditions that obtain in Eng
lish track athletics and "amateur' foot
ball. both of which are stepped in COW
ert professionalism. And as for junk
etng-why, that comes near to being
the Englishman's alter ego-it is a part
of the English game. You might as
well deprive him of his dearest pos
session-his prejudice, for instance-as
deprive him of his junket. Let the
stewards figure up how many good
American dollars have gone to satisfy
this national prediction through the
medium of cricketers, golfers and 9th
er English athletes that have visited
us.-Caspar Whitney in Outing Maya

A. a Rule They Are Due to Abuses

The best way to care for the ear Is
TO study the things not to do. 1t is
one of the most independent of organs,
knowing very we'll how to take care of
itself. If 1t Is duly respected, little
trouble or none will result. In cases
where something unforeseen goes
wrong a physician should be consulted

ear are due to abuses OF some kind.
The wax seems to worry a great many
people, and in their concern they usual
~ manage to seriously interfere with
Its functions. In the healthy ear the
wax. or cerumen. is a thin, yellowish
Huid that thickens into paste as it
dries. Nature provides for its natural
exit from the ear passage by uniting
1t with the tiny fakes of dead skin,
which fall outward unnoticed either by
seeing or feeling. Thus wax does not
accumulate in healthy ear, which has

DIFFERENT VIEWS ON
COPPER METAL MARKET
pollock Private Wire.)

Boston. Feb. 29.-The enormous sales
of copper for export, amounting in
February to considerably over 100, 000,-
600 pounds, has called forth statements
to the effect that the American con-
sumner had much to learn from his for
eign competitors in the matter of Sc
curing low cost copper supplies.
1t cannot be denied that the largest
American manufacturers are still in
disposed to place their orders for raw
material. They say the producers OF
copper are bound to be optimistic as a
matter of business, and their present
positions seems to be inspired by the
fact that Europe evidently considers
12& to 13-cent copper cheap, and that
with a much better business in ~Eu-
rope than there is here, both in Eng
land and on the continent, the foreign
ers are justified in more liberal pur-
chases of supplies, to say nothing of
gratifying their speculative tendencies.
From the standpoint of the American
consumer, it can be said that business
in this country has shown no apprecia-
bic improvement during the past thirty
days. Consumption in this country is
today not over 40 to 80 per cent of what
it might be called a good normal bust
ness. One whose views are entitled to
great respect says:
I'm a recent issue of the Boston
News Bureau, 1 notice that new copper
production in this country for 1908 Is
placed at 150,000,000 pounds, and that
this production will come to the mar
ket irrespective of the price of copper
While this would not appear to be a
very strong bull argument, 1 am frank
to say that as a consumer no one would
be more pleased than l to see a SUBJ
stantial advance in the price of cop
per''
