GREEK IS GIVEN
 LIFE SENTENCE

Oakland, Cal, December 23.-Peter Claudanes the Greek charged with dyna- miting the home in this city of former Supervisor James L. Gallagher, the star witness for the prosecution in the San Francisco. bribery case, was found guilty by a jury today and sentenced to life im mprisonment.
 The jury was out only eight minutes and verdict was reached upon the first ballot.
 Claudlanes waived appeal and Judge Waste sentenced him for life to San Quentin
 The trial of C1audianes was one of the many ramifications of the San Francisco graft cases in which the testimony of the exxsupervisor, Gallagher is the con- meeting link leading to Abraham Ruef, the former political boss, for whom Gai- lagher confessed acting as agent. Gal laghers home was blown up last spring. The former supervisor, his wife and sev- eral friends in the house at the time mar rowly escaped with their lives Suspicion was directed to Claudianes through letter that came into possess sion of District Attorney Langdon of San Francisco written by Peter to his ether John, from which it appeared that he had been told there would be slOO5 in it to blow up Gallagher"

INSURANCE MAN
 IS FOUND DEAD

New York, December 23.-Frederick A. Burnham former president of the Mutual Reserve Life Insurance com pany who was indicted following the investigation in connection with his conduct while at the head of that company, was found dead in bed at his home here tday from inhaling il-' luminating gas. The Burnham fam fly physician, who reached the home few moments after MT. Burnham was found, said the case undoubtedly was one of accident. The gas had escaped from a small stove which was used to heat MT. Burnham's sleeping room. The physician said MT. Burnham apparent ly had turned off the gas and then accidentally turned 1t on again after the flames had been extinguished. Mrs. Burnham. who occupied an adjoining room, was awakened by the odor of gas and opening the door of her hus bands room found the apartment flood ed with the deadly vapor. She threw up the windows, sent a servant for a physician and made desperate but vain efforts to revive Mir. Burnham. When the physician reached the house he said MT. Burnham's weak heart had made him an easy victim to the fumes and that he had been dead for some time.

Hypnotic Suggestion.

It will be said that we have heard al
 most of miracles worked by suggestion, says Dr. James J. Walsh, the renowned physician, in the January Appleton's. Under the influence of hypnotic sugges
 ton, for instance, we have heard of men permitting an important surgical opera tion involving the deep cutting of tissues, yet without the slightest sign of pain. We have heard even of that greater mir sober breath for years somehow made to brace up and become useful members of society for whom alcohol is no longer a temptation. Hypnotic suggestion raised to a new potency, not by the power of the hypnotizer, but by the suggestibiity of the passive agent in the experience. These miracles in the normal order are no greater than the miracles in the material world that have been performed by new applications of the old force of electricity. Suppose some one had told our grand fathers of 50 years ago that all our street cars would run along the streets pulled by a cable no thicker than the little finger; the thing would have seemer ut- terly impossible. Suppose in addition to that the narrator had said that the cable itself would not move but remain sta- tionary yet pull hundreds of crowded cars even on heavy grades. If our fore fathers of two centuries ago had been told that the electric toys of their time repre- scented the manifestations of d force that would be used to run most of the trans portation systems of the world and most of the industries and manufacturers in our time, they would have laughed at the prophet for fool.

EUROPEAN INDIScRETIoNS.
Young Men Compared With Those of
 America.

From Appletons Magazine.
 We wonder if many of you realize, you who are young men of America, how for compared with the young men in many other countries. You are not obliged to spend number of the most impression able years of your lives in compulsory military service, learning to obey orders which have no relation to the realities of life and its actual successes.
 These precious years in this country are given to you to observe, to learn and to prepare for the practical work of the world. Your individuality is not ham pered or circumscribed by your being nodded into a machine in your early manhood. You are free to make of your self what you will What would the young men of Europe give for their op- portunites if some magic wand could give them one currency, one language, one government, one people, from London to Moscow.
 What chance has a young man in the older countries to win out for himself and for the good of all compared with yours here?
 The very growth of our enormous cor porations gives a million opportunities that do not exist in the old established business of Europe. How can any board of directors of a giant corporation dare to take any officers except those best fit ted to carry on the great machine-so great that no one man, flo little group of men, even, can begin to control it, or swing it to their own selfish ends? How can any great millionaire leave such a business to his son with which he may do as he likes?

BRYAN DELIVERS
 TALK ON BUSINESS

Philadelphia, December 23-William Jen- dress at the annual commencement of a business school tonight. His theme was Business Integrity
 You will find that more of your temp tations will come from a desire to get rich quick than from any other source, , said Mir Bryan. "There is nothing more empty than a line entirely devoted to social enjoyment.
 Let money be your servant rather than your master
 Love of money has a multitude of ways in which it works the demoraliza- tlon of those whom it rules"
 MT. Bryan described the court room as a souls market, where many barter away their ideals in the hope of win ming wealth or fame" referring to law yors who boast of having secured the guilty of crime.
 Referring to corruption in politics as one of the temptations to which the com mercial man is subjected. MT. Bryan said:
 Just in proportion as a corporation secures monopoly of the business in which it is engaged, in that proportion the necessity for government regulation increases, and I may add, the difficulty of securing regulation increases in propor- ton to the necessity for it. Municipal! corruption has bec6fhe a byword, and the lobbyist has made his evil presence felt at the national and state capitals. Brib- cry is becoming a fine art, and neither the voter nor his representative is spared"
 He appealed to his hearers to create public sentiment against corruption.

AUSTRIA DECIDES
 NOT TO PAY TURKEY

Vienna, December 2S.-According to the semi-official Allgemine Zeitung, Baron Von Aehrenthal, the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, has made a complete change in his attitude, declaring that un- der no circumstances will Austria com- pensate Turkey on account of the an- nexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
 This sudden change causes surprise, and it is suggested that it is due to the fear that neither the Austrian nor the Hun garian parliaments would sanction the payment of compensation. The paper fears that the situation has again be- come strained, as 1t is also announced that the government will shortly com municate with the powers and publish the whole correspondence of the last three months with Russia on the Balkan diff culty.

LITTLE INTEREST
 IN CASTRO'S FATE

London, December 24-The London newspapers do not manifest great in- terest in the overthrow of Castro. Many of them make no comment on this sub ject. The Post thinks that it is too early yet to conclude that Gomez is not act- ing under Castro's instructions.
 The Times in an editorial refers to Castro's reckless folly which convinced the United States that his castigation was an international necessity.
 The Times thinks that Gomez has shown considerable adroitness and has acted 5udiciously in inviting the United States to dispatch warships to Venezu- elan port.

Christmas Presents Burned.

Chicago, December 23-Fifty-five mail pouches containing Christmas gifts and Il pouches containing registered letters and parcels it was learned today were destroyed in the fire which consumed a mail coach following a collision between a Chicago and Alton and a Baltimore and Ohio train here last night. It was said that most of the destroyed mail was des- tined for points in the south and many senders of gifts to that section of the country will be puzzled to learn later why their remembrances did not arrive.

Work on Gunboats Rushed.

Portsmouth, N. H., December 23.-Or- ders have been received at the navy yard to rush all work on the gunboats Pa ducah and Marietta, which are undergo ing repairs. Until last summer, the two gunboats had been assigned to duty in southern waters, and it is supposed that the orders to put them into commission again as soon as possible are given be- cause of the developments in Venezuela. Under the original orders the vessels were to have had a general overhauling. and it was expected that the work will net be completed before March.

WHEN THE FLAG GOES BY.


When the flag goes by on its gildedstaff,
And its silken folds in the sunshine laugh,
1 think of those other flags that lie,
Faded and torn, in the armory.
/ think Of the nations gloried dead,
lift my heart. but bow my head!
How, when the clarion summons rang,
Forth to the nations aid they sprang!
Red are your bars, in the sunlight tossed
Crimsoned deeper the blood they cost!
Drop your wreaths where the heroes lie,
And think of them when the flag goes by.
How brief the time while the eyes are vet;
We weep, we praise, but we soon forget.
We think Of the glory Of to-day,
And the past is folded and laid away
The tattered flag with its blood-stained fold.
And the soldier sleeping beneath the mold.
o, let no blazonry of pride
Efface the tablet Of those who died,
God help us ever sincere and sweet
To hold the tribute that we repeat,
And out of our heart Of hearts reply
To the solem dirge, as the Gag goes by!

Its Power.

DR. CLARK says: Every inanufac-
turing plant when it decides to do more
business adds to its horsepower. The
sole power of the Christian Endeavo7
society Is the active membership Ev-
cry real active member won is new
force added to the dynamics of the
kingdom of heaven. DO not overwork
the story Of Gideon and his 300. 1t
does not teach that God prefers to
work with the few rather than the
many. Ten thousand Gideonites are
better than 800. Only see that they are
Gideonites. Let us get away forever
from the heresy that Christian En-
deavor society is little club of like
minded young people who meet to-
gether once week for a pleasant lit
tie conclave Of a religious character
A good Endeavor society may be very
small, but 1t is always as large as its
field allows. Irish Endeavorer
