cunning, and very determined. Mr..

character of the Jew. He didn't have
the Jewish accent. The same CFiti-

had been under a competent tutor.
Miss Louise Whitby assumed the
character of Princess Chrysanthe-

she didn't throw enough life into
her character. She was just little
too stiff. However, she will do better
the next time. She read her lines
correctly, which was commendable

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2l.-The
brief Of former Mayor Eugene z.
Schmitz in reply to the appeal of the
prosecution to the supreme court for
a review Of the decision Of the cour,
OF appeals in the extortion cases,
when il was decided by the latter
court that the indictment OF Schmitz
was faulty, was filed by the attorneys
for Schmitz today. The main point
OF Schmitz' attorneys for was that
the indictments charging Schmitz
with extortion do not constitute a
public offcnse, that the threats which
caused the French restaurant keepers
to pay tribute was not unlawful. The
supreme court has until March 8 to
grant or deny the prosecutions plea
for a re-hearing. If the plea is denied
Schmitz will be admitted to bail and
the FIVE indictments against him as
well as those against Abe Ruef on a
similar charge win be invalid.

NEWSPAPER STATISTICS.

NEW YORK, February al
More publications are printed in
New York than in any other city in
the world, or in many states and for
eign countries. The total at present
falls just short of 1000, indicating the
tremendous increase in the con.
sumption OF reading matter through
out the country. Some surprising
and interesting statistics regarding
newspapers throughout the United
States have been gathered by Apple
toms Magazine and are presented in
an article to appear in the March
number, According to this article,
which is written by General Charles
II Taylor, one of the most widely
known men in the newspaper bust
ness, the total circulation OF the news
papers of the country in 1907 was up
wards OF ten billion copies. The
total income from advertising and
circulation is estimated at $200000,-
600 year which makes newspaper
publishing one OF the great businesses
OF the country. Appleton's is devot-
ing much attention to newspaper and
the important part they play in Ameri-
can life, having published an article

never was time when the newspaper
reader got so much for his money
as today and the claim is borne out
