SwindIer Caught

Recently, a number of state papers
published, under large headlines, long
article about scheme to construct an
electric line from ST. Paul to. Seattle.
The PRESS received the same carefully
prepared copy and last week, under the
caption, "Is 1t Dream?" prefaced the
three paragraphs used as follows: "The
following dispatch was sent out from
Spokane this week and it is given to
PRESS readers for what it is WORTH"
Following close on the heels of the
free advertising the smooth promoters
received, comes the following from the
Fargo Forum, indicating that one of the
schemers is already where he belongs
in the penitentiary:
Samuel A. Phillips, who was convicted
of grand larceny in the first degree by
the jury, which, with Judge Bum, tried
him on charge of embezzling funds be.
longing to the Hancock Co. Of Chicago
whose agent he was in Minnesota, was
Saturday afternoon sentenced to serve
seven years at hard labor in the state
prison at Saltwater.
Phillips, it will be remembered, is one
of the men, who, a short time ago, ad'
dressed the Commercial Club Of this
city in an endeavor to interest the club
in an electric railroad proposition from
st. Paul to Seattle.

that he looked upon him as a man

had been times when their opinions
differed widely, but nevertheless. the
speaker said, :nosone could long be ac-

Precious Stones and "Paste.'

Glass, Or paste" as it is called, is
made which cannot when new be dis
tinguished from diamonds by any one
but an expert armed with the neces-
sary tests.
And the same is true as to paste imi-
tations of all precious stones excepting
the emerald (whose beautiful green
tint cannot be exactly obtaineD, the
cats eye, which has a peculiar fibrous
structure, and the opal. The real value
and quality Of precious stones as COM
pared with glass depend on their dura-
bility. their hardness, their resistance
to scratching and "dulling" of face
and edge. 49,.
Even our Anglo-Saxon ancestors
made gems of glass and paste. It is
only in modern times that the art of
making artificial precious stones" has
reached degree of perfection which.

cerned, leaves the natural stones no
claim to superiority Tele-

MEAT PRICES GO HIGHER
Advance of From One.half to Five
Cents a Pound.

Wills q TOlHus
New York, April 7.-Retailers have
again put up all meat prices from one
half to 5 cents pound. POrterhOuse
steaks that have heretofore been 80
cents a pound will be So cents and
sirloins that have been 20 will be 80
cents. Round steaks that could have
been bought for % cents a pound last
week will be %.
Mutton will remain the same, while
spring lambs are to be found in the
markets in small quantities at IS
cents a pound for the rib chops and
30 cents pound for the breast for
roasting purposes.
Pork has taken tremendous jump
since the meat prices began to rise
ten days ago and chops are now bring
Ing IS cents pound. There are
scarcely any pork tenderloins in the
market, while roasting pork is bring
Ing 16 to Is cents pound.
Talks with wholesale dealers devel-
oped the fact that there is not likely
to be any further change in the prices
for a month. About May 1 the cattle
ra1sers of the country will be able to
ship to the markets some grass fat
tened cattle and this will make the
supply somewhat greater. There are
no corn fed cattle on the farms and
ranches to speak of and those that
the farmers have are being held back
and shipped gradually so as to get
the advantage of the high prices now
prevailing.

party, and one of the guests was the
daughter of a senator. The birthday
cake shone gloriously with ten candles.
A few weeks later the senator's

and party was in order. Just before
the guests arrived the small celebrant
betook herself to the dining room to

Singers do not give away their Sc

that some Of the tenors and prima
donnas use an astringent gargle when.
ever their vocal cords become so re.
Taxed that very high notes are difficult
to emit. One famous little tenor used
cold tea that had drawn long time.
Such a gargle, though. does not i'm
prove the quality of the voice, even II
1t does raise the pitch temporarily.
The popular gargle among opera art
lists is the solvent. 1t loosens crusts
which form in the throat and nasal
cavities and removes mucous which
cannot be got rid of by coughing and
hawking. "A common wash is twelve
grains of chlorate Of potash to wine
glassful Of warm water. Many singers
and orators in order to render thei
voices clear and mellow use a gargle
containing one teaspoonful of common
salt and one of baking soda in tum-

Needles and Pins.

The Lancet tells of a peculiar case In
London hospital. The patient. a
healthy Scotch girl, aged twenty years,
was in the habit Of putting pins in he1
mouth and sometimes had been known
to fall asleep without removing them.
She was admitted to the hospital, hav,
ing swallowed five pins accidentally
while fixing clothes, and by the help
of emetics she was relieved Of them.
Returning home. she began regularly
to vomit pins and got rid of twenty.

then began to produce needles, and in
a fortnight thirteen came out from the
following situations: The left nostril

common soldier happening along pick

'Thank you, captain" said the en-

that the man was only private.
"Of which company, sire?" put in the
soldier promptly, taking Napoleon at
his word.
"Come to me tonight and you shall
receive your commission" said the
great commander.
He knew that that common soldier
had the presence Of mind necessary to
make a good officer.

CAUGHT ON FLOATING ICE
Four Wisconsin Fishermen Adrift for
Thirty-six Hours.

Thirty-six Hours.
Marinette, Wis, April 6.-Four
Peshtigo harbor fishermen, Hans OPP
sahl William Johnson, Nicholas Mel
son and Charles Lubas, had a terrible
experience while lifting nets on the
ice south of Peshtigo point, having
been carried out on loose ice in the
open lake, where they were exposed
thirty-siX hours. The field of ice be-
gan to separate into small pieces and
started to blow out into the lake. The
current was so swift that the four
men were being carried out rapidly
and with apparently no chance of get
ting back, the ice breaking into small
pieces, increasing the danger for
them. Fortunately they had with
them some ice cutters and these they
used to detach small portions of the
ice field. Each man in this way NAH
aged to cut off enough of the ice to
float with and succeeded in success
fully crossing the open spaces and
finally in reaching the shore. ....s
The men had nothing to eat and
suffered much from the wintry blasts
and they were almost exhausted when
they reached shore. In the meantime
their friends on shore had become
greatly alarmed about them and had
procured gasoline launches and set
out in search of them. The boats were
unable to make any progress, how
ever, and the attempt had to be given

MERCHANTS CONDEMN PLAN
Placing Embargo on Venezuelan Prod.
ucts Would Be Futile,


ucts Would Be Futile.
New York, April THE plan to
make reprisals upon Venezuela for
her failure to come to terms with the
United States on the question of
pending American claims by laying an
embargo upon Venezuelan products,
forbidding their importation into this
country, is declared by the New York
merchants engaged in the Venezuelan
trade and familiar with it's conditions
to be futile. Alfred Debuys, an official
of prominent firm which has an i'm
portant trade with Venezuela, speak
ing Of the plan to place an embargo
on Venezuelan asphalt and enact a
practically prohibitive duty on coffee
from that country, said:
Should the attempt be made to en-
force a policy so i'll advised Castro
would simply laugh at us. To enforce
such an embargo would entail endless
difficulties and even though we should
compel all Venezuelan products to be
plainly stencilled from Venezuela
that country would easily find a mar
ket for her goods elsewhere Should
the attempt be made, as is reported,
to check the expectation of American
products to Venezuela as we'll as the
importation of products from that
country, the islands of Curacao and
Trinidad, lying close to the Venezu-
elan coast, would afford such tempting
facilities for the evasion of the en-
barge by American shippers that we
should be likely soon to find ourselves
embroiled on the one hand with Great
Britain, which owns Trinidad, and on
the other hand with Holland, as Cura-
Gao is Dutch possession"
