DIcTMENT FOR PERJURY
AGAINST BANKER.

NEW YORK, Feb. IS. - The legal
entanglements of Chas w. Morse,
former banker and promoter, are null.
tiplylng. A third indictment, alleging
perjury by Mr.. Morse during an ex-
animation before the grand jury, was
found by the special grand jury yes
terday short time after he had ap.
peared In court to answer the two In
dIctments found against him last
week. charging him with grand lar
ceny. Arrangements were made last
night to have him appear before jus
tice Victor ]. Bowling, Of the criminal
branch Of the supreme court to plead
to the perjury Indictment.
Another turn in the case was the
serving in Philip J. Britt, counsel for
Mr.. Morse, OF summons in two actions
brought against the former banker.
The complaints in the suits have not
yet been filed but it was explained
that they relate to stock transactions
which occurred some time ago.
Mores's presence in the criminal
courts building yesterday morning,
was comparatively uneventful.

INSTANTLY.

WHEELING. Feb. 1s.-Grant Deu-
vail. foreman of the Barton mine of
the Youghiogheny & Ohio Coal Com
pany. eight miles west Of Bridgeport,
was found lying dead in one Of the
entries in the mine Monday morning
at $ o'clock. having been electrocutei
by trolley wire.
The mine was not in operation
Monday, but Deuvall was looking af-
ter some work In the mine. and some
OF the other workmen found his dead
body.
Coroner Dr.. A. W. DIven and Dis
trict Mine Inspector Ebenezer Jones.
of Martins Ferry. visited the mine
Monday afternoon, and Coroner Owen
held an inquest over the body. The
verdict of the coroner is accidental
death. The evidence showed that Deu-
vail was in one OF the entries and
wished to 20 to the other side Of the
entry. but some cars were in tn" way.
In place Of walking few feet at
the end Of the string of cars he climb
ed between two cars and when he
stepped on the bumpers of the cars
his head struck the overhead trolley
wire, electrocuting him and killing
him instantly The evidence and in
vestigation showed the electrical wiz
ing to be in accordance with the law
and sufficiently high. so that the man
met death in an accident to which ne
almost contributed himself.
DeuvaIl was an American, single
and thlrty-six years of age, having
been foreman of this mine for three
years. ana worked in the mine some
time before becoming foreman The
remains were brought to Adolph's IN
dertaling parlors in Bridgeport last
evening. and while the funeral ar
rangements have not been completed.
the body will like1v be shipped to his
former home in West Virginia.

ward and through the upper lip and
then coursed upward to the root OF
the nose and possibly entered the
brain.
AS soon as the accident happened
he rushed to a physicians office in
the Empire building. where prelim'
mary treatment was given him. Ell
forts to locate the bullet failed,
though the probe reached the root
of the nose.
The wounded man wos taken to
Kessler hospital later. The attend
ing physician fears that the injury
may result in a serious complication,
but at this time is not in position to
tell the extent of the wound. II tho
ball has entered the brain as. is the
belief, the injury may prove fatal.
The wound. however, did not rem
der Frazier unconscious. though he
became weak owing to the loss of
much blood.
Only a few days ago one of the
men employed at the pressing estab.
lishment accidentally shot himself
through the foot.

the princess.

the prince, ignoring the interruption.
No, thousand times no! Take her

Let her marry the fellow; he's young

The duke was furious. He looked
around for something to strike, and
nothing but the table being convenient,
he smashed leaf and sent vase clat-
tering to the floor. He was stronger
than the prince, otherwise there
wouldn't have been table to thwack.

OFFICE IN SADDLE

of Washington at a time when condi-
tions were more primeval than they
are now, going thither from Brooklyn.
There are IS cities in the United
States which have greater populations
than the whole $4,000 square miles of
territory over which the new bishop
will have charge. Take Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island and Connecticut, throw
in Maryland or the kingdoms of Bel
GUM or Holland, and lay them all
down in eastern Oregon and they
would not overlap the border land of
his vast field of work.
Little Rhode Island, with it's 1850
square miles area, has thrice the popu-
lation of this territory. Cut Rhode
Island, Connecticut and New Jersey
out of the map Of the United States
and lay them on the map of south
eastern Oregon and they would not
blot out an inch of railroad or as large
population as lives today in the
smallest of the three states. There is
a region more than 100 miles one way
and 12O miles the other in which there
is not mile of railroad track laid
surveyed, or will be laid or surveyed
within the next two or three years.
There are only few hundred miles of
government, military and state roads
in this undeveloped region. which will
be marvelously rich in resources once
railroads enter there and irrigation
projects are completed. Over the lone
ly stage roads In such counties as
Malheur and Harvey the bishop will
be compelled to drive or ride a day at
time without seeing the curl of
smoke from human habitation or
hearing the sound of a voice other
than wild animals or his own. 1t took
three weeks to get complete election
returns from these counties last year.
1t has been some years since the
rough and ready miners and ranch
men have stood a tenderfoot up
against the wall and shot his bootheels
off to make him dance. But the bishop
or circuit rider must still mix with
them like brother" and no matter
whether he breaches to them In
barn, in an open square, standing on
soap box for a rostrum, or inside a
church or schoolhouse, he has to suit
his language to his hearers. He must
submit to rigid catechising on ques.
tions of doctrine and dogma.
Cow punchers and miners, when
they have not been fed on the sort of
mama" the missionary provides for
a long time, sometimes yield to re-
ligious emotions as strong as they are
picturesque. and their experiences"
related in meeting, well punctured
with coarse and even profane Ian
guage, should not offend the man who
has needed the cry to "go over into
Macedonia"

WHAT ADMIRAL EVANS MEN
WILL SEE ON LONG TRIP.
Places Where the Big Fleet Will
Stop on Its Way to the Pacific
and People and Scenes Which
Will Prove of Interest.

AT tenknot-an-hou speed the big
fleet of American warships is stead
lily pressing southward towards the
Magellan straits. where the turn will
be made into Tho Pacific, and as the
thought of the nation follows this
splendid aggregation of battleships
there is fresh interest in the route
over which they will pass and the
scenes which will greet officers and
crews as they make their occasional
stops along the IA 4,000-mile waterway.
After the first stop in the harbor of
Port of Spain, Island of Trinidad.
where Christmas was passed, no stop
will be made until Rio de Janeiro is
reached, which, according to the sched-
ule prepared before starting, should
be January II. A stop of ten days
Is to be made at the Brazilian capital,
and if Jack Tar writes home as he
ought to, and probably will, the let
ters which come from there should
be well worth reading to other moth
ers who have no sons with 'Mr.
Evans boats or to other girls who
have no sweethearts wearing the
navy blue, for they will probably con-
tain much about the capital of Bra
zil, over $50 years old, with its beau
tiful parks public buildings and pri-
vate houses, oddly interspersed with
structures Of great antiquity, among
them the San Sebastian church, which
was built in 1867.
The next stop will be at Punta
Arenas, the most southernly town on
this side of the globe, where the
fleet is due January 81.
The letters will then tell of passing
from the heat of midsummer to the
cold of winter while going south all
the time, and there will undoubtedly
be complaint or two about the coun-
try, and perhaps q wish that the
writer could get a look again at Broad
way, and there may even be unkind
remarks in the letter about Magellan,
who nearly 400 years ago discovered
the strait through which Admiral
Evans plans to take his fleet For
Magellan strait, although an undoubt-
ed aid to navigation, is not much to
look at. About 100 miles long, the
channel through which Admiral
Evans fleet will pass is for the most
part only about as wide as the Hud-
son river Chilli owns the land on
either side of the strait-what was
part of Patagonia on one side and
Terra del Fuego on the other. The
vegetation on both sides of the great
waterway is said to be as scanty as
the clothing of the natives, which
would barely permit of their entertain

Were the Panama canal now built, by
passing through it the fleet could have
shortened the distance to Callao by
100 miles.
1t will probably be with genuine re-
gret that he will turn his back upon
the hospitality of the Peruvians on or
about February %, for on March IA,
when the ships are due to drop
anchor in Magdalena bay, on the
coast of Mexico, all thoughts of the
pleasures of the long trip around
South America must give place to
strict attention to the work of tar
get practice, if he would secure
place in any of the crack gun crews of
Uncle Sans navy After practice the
feet will probably go to San Francis
co, and orders received there may
take it to the Philippine islands or
bring it home again.

CHAPTER XI.

The Grand Duke of Barscheit was
tall and angular and weather-beaten,
and the whites of his eyes bespoke a
constitution as sound and hard as his
common sense. AS Max entered he
was standing at the side of Doppel-
kim.

do you know who he is?'
The duke took a rapid inventory.
Never set eyes upon him before"
The duke then addressed her highness.
"Hildegafde, who is this fellow? No
evasions; | want the truth. l have,
in the main found you truthful"
81 know nothing Of him at all" said
the princess curtly.
Max wondered where the chill in the
room came from.
He says that his name is Scharfen-
stein," continued the princess, "and he
has proved himself to be a courteous
gentleman"
Max found that the room wasn't so
chill as it might have been.
yet you eloped with him, and were
on the way to Dresden" suggested the
duke pointedly.
The princess faced them all proudly.

did not recollect, but he was finally
aroused by the sound of slamming
doors and new voices. He returned to
his chair and waited for the denoue-
ment. which the marrow in his bones
told him was about to approach.
1t seemed incredible that he, of all
persons, should be plucked out of the
practical ways of men and thrust into
the unreal fantasies of romance. A
hubbub in a restaurant, a headlong
dash into a carriage compartmeltt a
long ride with princess, and all with
in three short hours! 1t was like some
weird dream. And how the deuce
would it end?
He gazed at the toys again.
And then the door opened and he
was told to come out. The grand duke
had arrived.
This will be the final roundup" he
laughed quietly, his thought whimsical
ly travelling back to the great plains
and the long rides under the starry
night.

FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear of the Coffee Troubles.

Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit and finally his stomach
and kidneys got In such bad condi-
ton that he was compelled to give up
o good position that he had held for
years. He was too sick to work. His
skin was yellow, and / hardly think
there was an organ in his body that
was not affected.
Il told him felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis
cussion he decided to give it up.
''It was a struggle because of the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try it.
and then it was easy to leave off
coffee.
"His fearful headaches grew less
frequent, his complexion began to
clear. Kidneys grew better until at
last he was a new man altogether, as
q result of leaving off coffee and TAX
ing up Postum. Then l began to
drink it, too.
Although I was never as bad OIL
as my husband, l was always very
nervous and never at any time very
strong, only weighing 95 lbs. before
I began to use Postum. Now l weigh
lis lbs. and can do as much work as
anyone my size, think.
MANY do not use Postum because
they have not taken the trouble to
make it right. l have successfully
fooled great many persons who have
drunk it at my table. They would
remark, You must buy a high grade
of coffee One young man who clerked
in a grocery store was very enthusias-

him what it was, he said, why I've sold

idea it was like this. Think I'll drink
