PLUMPED BABY INTO
+
RIVER AS SHE SAID GOOD BYE

Burlington, n. j., June 29.-(Spe-
ciaD-While two women were bid
ding each other farewell at the
steamboat landing this afternoon one
Of them dropped her baby from the
gang plank into the Delaware.
Cries of horror went up from
hundreds of excursionists on the
steamboat Columbia, and several wo-
man tainted. Half dozen strong
men prepared to take a hasty plunge,
but, quicker than all, a sturdy deck
hand dropped from the gang plank,
swung one arm from a beam of the
wharf and as the baby rose again
to the surface seized her dress and
above.
The boat had just arrived on its
up trip. Two well-dressed women,
one with a babe in her arms, rushed
down the gangplank thinking it was
about to pull away from the wharf.
Midway they stopped and there the
farewell began.
"Good-by!" said one woman.
"Good-by!" shouted the other. BE
sure you write" "Good-by!" Evil
IDENTIFY the friends could not bear to
separate without one more good-by
kiss, but as they leaned toward each
other for the caress the child slipped
into the water between the boat
and the wharf.
The frightened mother and her
drenched babe disappeared before
their names could be learned.

STANDARDS SECRETS
ARE WELL GUARDED
Only One Man Knows Ger
tain Formula.

New York, June 29.-(SpeciaD An
insight into the policy of secrecy
maintaining by the Standard Oil
Company and it's many subsidiaries
in the various branches of the bust
ness was gained yesterday by Frank
! B. Kellogg, the Governments law
yer, in the suit seeking to dissolve the
Standard under the Sherman anti
trust law
1t came out during the testimony
before Special Examiner Franklin
Ferriss in the Custom House that
some of the secrets of the Standard
are guarded even from it's own most
trusted employees, and that remarka-
bic means of protection are used to
conceal certain secrets from the men
whose duties are closely allied to
the departments in which the secrets
exist
One secret in question developed
yesterday was the method of concot-
ing the lubricating oil made by the
Galena-Signal Company c. c. Stein
brenner, general manager of the
Galena, was taken in hand by Mr.
Kellogg in an effort to learn how
Galena-Signal oils are made.
81 do not know how the oils are.
made" said Mr.. Steinbrenner. ''It
is a secret process. We are never
allowed to enter the compromising de-
partment at Franklin, Penn"
Mr.. Steinbrenner said that the
secret of the compound was known
to George G. Miller, nephew of the
Galena-Signal's President Gen. Char
les Miller, and that no one was al
lowed to know the secret prepare
ton.
1T is an absolute secret" he said.
Mr.. Kellogg then asked Mr. Stein
brenner how much crude oil was
used in the manufacture of the Gal
ena's yearly output of 100000 bar
rels of oil.
Il do not know" said Mr.. Steinbren-
ner.
FWell, you have been pretty good
guesser all along as to your COM
pany's affairs suppose you guess now, >
suggested Mr.. kellogg.
But before the witness could ans
| wer Moritz Rosenthal, senior coun-
sci for the Standard, interrupted, and
| said that the witness must not do any
| guessing.
Mr.. Kellogg then began to ask
about the Galena-SignaFs books and
| wanted to know if they would not
show the cost of ingredients 1t then
came out that in order to more care
fully preserve the secret of how the
lubricant is made the Standards sub
sidary keeps no apparent record OF
| the price paid for the articles used in
| the manufacture of lubricating oils
I'VE keep no cost sheets" said Mr.
Steinbrenner THE cost as we'll as
the process is a secret"
How can the profits of your COM
pany be computed without knowing
! the cost of the raw material" asked
/ the Governments lawyer Mr. Stein
brenner replied that much compute

ment and he could not answer nor

THE COME AND SEE SIGN

This sign is permanently attached
to the front of the main building OF
the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine
Company, Lynn, Mass.
What Does This Sign Mean?
1t means that public inspection of
the Laboratory and methods of doing
business is honestly desired. Itmeans
that there is nothing about the bus
mess which is not "open and above
board"
1t means that a permanent invita-
ton is extended to anyone to come
and verify any and all statements
made in the advertisements of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Is it a purely vegetable compound
made from roots and herbs - with
out drugs?
Come and See.
Do the women of America continu-
ally use as much of it as we are told !?
Come and See.
Was there ever such a person as
Lydia E. Pinkham, and is there any
Mrs. Pinkham now to whom sick

Come and See.
Is the vast private correspondence
with sick women conducted by
women only, and are the letters kept
strictly confidential !?

over one million, one hundred
thousand women correspondents?

Have they proof that Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
cured thousands of these women?

DIED IN
MODERATE CIRCUMSTANCES

New York, June 29.-(SpeciaD -
Contrary to the general belief, Mr.
Cleveland was a poor man. For
some reason which does not appear,
the opinion was generally held that
he was possessed of a considerable
estate and that he would leave his
family we'll off when he died. In
quiries made developed the fact that
Mr.. Cleveland, far from being well
off, was poor, and left to the family.

entirely mistaken, practically moth

the place at Buzzards Bay
When Mr.. Clevland left the White
House the last time, and for many
years thereafter" said one of his in
Inmates today, he had, together with
his wife, about 100000 year. His
income often worried him exceeding
ly, especially as he saw his family
growing up about him, and knew
their future was not as well provid-
ed for as he could wish. He would
not accept anything from his friends
he was exceedingly proud on that
score; but those who knew him best
knew that his circumstances worried
him not little.
lie did not live in New York, for
the sole reason that he would not
live here as cheaply as he could live
in New Jersey and maintain the
style he felt would be demanded of
him. When he became one of the
trustees of the Equitable Life his
income was added to somewhat; |

$4,000 for that work

circumstances would have been much
improved. All of his friends reioiced
when he became the head of the AS
sociation Of Life Insurance Presi-
dents with salary of $4,000 year,
for they knew his circumstances.
However, he had held that place for
only year, so far, although there
had been an improvement, it was
not sufficient to make a great deal
of difference.
Among those who knew the eX-
President best it was recognized that
he had taken up magazine writing in
recent years in an effort to increase
his income. His practice of law since
his second term had been small and
did little to add to his income
At the close of his second Admin
