HIS TURN CAME.
The Way the Liquor Man Got Even
With the Bank Teller.

Tho Way the Liquor Man Got Even
With the Bank Teller.
Many years ago there lived In Rut-
land, VT, two men who bore the same
name, which name we will call w. o.
Jones. One Of these men was a dap
per young bank teller; the other was
engaged In running a cigar store with
a saloon attachment In the rear. This
was In the days of prohibition In Yer
mont Every three or four weeks the
latter Jones would be haled into the
police court and fined for liquor sell
ing, which was chronicled regularly in
the daily papers The bank teller grew
nervous about IL and one morning this
announcement appeared: '"W. o. Jones,
the popular young bank teller of the
Rutland National bank, wishes IT to be
understood that be Is in no way con-
nected with the saloon keeper and
hopes their names may not be con-
founded"
Now, 10 transpired that few months
afterward this young teller failed to
appear one morning at his accustomed
window at the bank. Upon a hasty
examination It was found that $4,000
or more OF the funds Of the bank had
also disappeared The wires were
called into requisition Immediately,
and after few days he was located
In Denver. 1t was the old story. He
was brought back, incarcerated, tried,
etc.
1t was now the saloon keepers turn,
and this notice was duly published In
the same paper that issued the pre-
vious one: wv. o. Jones, the widely
known business man OF Merchants
row, wishes 1t 10 be understood that he
Is In no way connected with W. o.
Jones, the defaulting bank teller now
In Jal, and hopes their names may not
be confounded. d."-Exchange.

The TarantuIa.

Whether the tarsntula is ever a
death dealer or not is a disputed point.
However, there seems TO be no doubt
that the bite OF this spider-tke crea-
ture infiicts one Of the most painful
wounds that the human body can en-
dure. Stolid Indians who have borne
the tortures of the sun dance without
hinching have been known TO roll upon
the ground and shrek in agony when
bitten by a tarantula, which leaves
livid scar that never grows dim. 1t Is
possible that the tarantula bite some
times proves fatal. although 1t is diff
cult to find a well authenticated In
stance Of this kind. - Chicago Inter

JAPANESE PAGoDAS.
Enormous Pendulums Render These

Enormous Pendulums Render These
Old Structures Earthquake Proof.
The only old structures in Japan
which seem TO be earthquake proof are
the pagodas, which were erected before
the temples. There are many which
are TOO or 800 years old and as solid
as when first built.
There is a reason for this, and 1t lies
IN their construction. A pagado is
practically a framework OF heavy tim
bers which starts from wide base
and is in itself a substantial structure,
but rendered still more stable by a
peculiar device. Inside the framework
and suspended from the apex is q
long. heavy beam Of timber two feet
thick or more. This hangs from one
end Of the four sides. Four more heavy
timbers. and If the pagoda be very
lofty still more timbers, are added TO

as In France under Louis XIII. Under
Louis XIV. the beard went out Of fash
ion, and during the time of Rocco the
elegant world knew only clean shaven
faces until the French revolution
brought the mustache again into use.
But nowhere except in its Spanish
home did the mustache rise so extrava-
gantly as with the German emperor
and his imitators.
In Spain all kinds OF artificial means,
such as bandages and coverings, were
employed to compel the mustache to
keep this unnatural upward position,
and IN looking at the paintings Of We

derstand that without such coercive
measures a true full blooded spaniard

TAKES $500, LEAVES WIFE 81
chloffi Skips With Savings They Had
Jointly Accumulated

Rutland. June 16-Leaving his wife
only 81 of more than $500 which they
had Jointly saved, Joseph Chiofl of
West street left this city Saturday
night and it is thought that he is in
Boston. The matter was called to the
attention OF the police last night and
1t is possible that Rutland officer may
go to Boston in search of the man. Mrs
Chiofh who is about 80 years of age
was nearly distracted with grief last
night and as she is enceinte her con-
dition is pitiful.
Chiofii is baker and has worked at
his trade in this city for the past few
years. He passed the winter in Port
Henry. n. Y, returning to this city
few weeks ago. While here he and
his wife had saved about $500 and de-
posted ii in the Rutland bank all in his
name. Mrs. Chiofli worked in the
factory. On Saturday Chiofh without
his wife's knowledge, took the bank
book and drew the money leaving 81
TO his credit. He replaced the book
in the usual place at home and until
she looked at it yesterday Mrs. Chic
fiji did not suspect anything wrong.
She thinks her husband has gone to
Boston or In that direction.

TOUCHED MATCH TO POWDER
Burlington Boys Badly Injured by Elk
pIosion of Bottle

Burlington, June 15.-Andrew La
duke, six years old, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Arthur Laduke of 80 Rose street
and Leo NORM, six years old, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Enoia NORM of 1872
Champlain street, are in a serious con
dition tonight as the result of gun
powder experiment they made this
afternoon.
At one o'clock loud explosion was
heard In the back yard of the NORM
residence and when the parents of the
boys investigated they found them
blackened and torn and in half con-
scious condition. The physicians are
not able to ascertain just how serious
the wounds will prove because of
their peculiar nature.
1t is supposed that the lads obtain
ed bottle of gunpowder and applied
a match to 1t, as both had numerous
pieces OF glass in their flesh.
The NORM boys face was blacken-
ed and swollen and both eyes were
closed and IL is feared that the sight
of one or both of his eyes may be lost
and his hands and arms are fearfully
cut.
The Laduke boy is cut about the
face, but the most serious wound is
a hole between the fourth and fifth
ribs, apparently made by flying glass.
Several surgeons have been working
over the boys since tho accident and
their fate cannot be determined.

TREATMENT FOR
BRIGhT'S DISEASE
(Honolulu Evening Bulletin

1t is a curious but satisfactory fact
that chronic Bright's Disease which
according TO medical authorities, is an
incurable and fatal disease, is now &C
tually being cured. We have not at
tached importance to the statements
of recoveries we have seen in the pa
pers from the states but that they
are not all rumors is now evident
from several recoveries here.
A. H. Otis, of the Honolulu Drug
Co. tells us of two interesting cases
One was swollen with dropsy due to
advanced Bright's Disease and both
the patient and his physician mad
given us hope. Otis kept urging a
trial of the new treatment until the
patient finally consented. Recovery
was complete, the patient leaving q
few months later for California where
he now resides.
Another case was that of an officer
on one of the Island steamers. He
was IN a hospital and considered hope
less when put on the treatment. He
has now been back at his post for
some time.
Otis says there are very few fall
ures, but that it requires patience

OFFER TOO SMALL
Factories viii Not be Sold at Figure
Named.

United States Judge James l.. Mar
tin, OF Brattleboro, has denied the APP
plication of the receiver OF the Hard
ware & Woodenware Co. of New
York, for permission TO accept an Of
fer for eleven OF the sixteen factories
controlled by the company, which are
In the hands Of receiver. Represen.
tatives Of creditors Of the company
when they returned to Brattleboro
from New York, where the hearing
was held, stated that objection to the
petition was made by creditors who
felt that more money should be rea-
lied from sale Of the plants. The
receiver also expressed a belief that
the offers for the plants might be in
creased.
One of these plants is the S. A.
Smith factory In Brattleboro, for
which an offer OF $4,000 has been
made. The total amount offered for
the eleven factories is $440,375, which
Is less than rs per cent Of the amount
due to creditors. II the bids can be
increased to somewhere near the
amount due the creditors, II Is likely
that no opposition to the sale will be
made. 1t is apparent that the stock
holders will not realize anything on
their stock. The inventory of the
eleven factories in question Is 81 ,526,-
319. The original owners of the fac
tories took stock in payment when
they went into the combination. Some
of the factories are not doing over
half the business that they were a
year ago. and the falling off is due
in part to the fact that the factories
are in receivers hands. Another
thing -whieh-mahes- II practically i'm
possible to operate the plants at a
profit is the fact that the interest
charges are enormous, running from
~ to 20 per cent Most of the fac
tories, If sold, will continue to do
business under a general manage
ment, but the plan is to operate the
S. A. Smith plant through another
agency.

Woman as a Debater.

News comes that Cornell University has
chosen one OF its young woman students
TO lead its team i'll the coming debate
with Columbia University. Cornell wants
to win.
The apparent neglect with which man has
treated woman as a professional debater
has not been due To ignorance of her
ability In that line. X has been due TO
fear A woman IN the domain of debate
is supreme Let her shy her castor into
the arena and any man of sense and
experience will let it stay there. The
man who gets into a debate with a wom-
IN is crushed. Man cannot defeat "a
woman in debate.
In debate she has wonderful memory
for recalling every misstep which her
opponent has ever made. And she can
misconstrue those missteps till her oppo-
nent feels like a convict with a life
sentence. Her facial expression in show
ing scorn indignation, repugnance and
sardonic pity is wonderful. She can
smile beautifully while performing yivi-
section upon her opponent. She can
speak daggers but show none When she
feels that her logic has begun TO weaken
she can turn on the tears.
