WANTS ANOTH-
ER FIVE MILLION DOLLARS

( Caracas, Monday, Aug. 24.-After
more than three years legal procedure
the civil court of the first instance
OF Caracas, has delivered judgment
in the sens ational case of the French
Gable Company. The company has
been found guilty of completely in
matters of the revolution of 1908 and
was fined five million dollars. Other
damages are also assessed. The trial
has been even more startling than
that ag ainst the New York and Ber-
mudas asphalt company, which also
resulted in a five million dollar fine,
because it reached far beyond the
high officials Of the cable company
in Paris. 1t is Venezuela's claim that
the French government itself extend
ed support to Gener al Mateo.

HE TALKED
TOO MUCH

Cincinnati, O., Sept. BIN COM
today disposed of the story published
in the Toledo Times this morning Civ
ing what purported to be an author
lied statement from him to the effect
that there had been no peace COM
pact between himself and Judge Taft,
that President Roosevelt had adopted
the policies of Mr.. Bryan and that
between the two he preferred the
genuine to the imitation; that the
only difference between the Demo
Gratis and Republican was that the
Republicans favored tariff revision
after March and the Democrats fav-
ored immediate revision, and he be-
lieved in immediate revision.
"The statement of the Toledo
Times" said the Senator today, lis
grossly misleading. 1 told the report
er of the Times there had been no
agreement of any kind, either made
or suggested, that there was no trou-
BILE between Judge Taft and myself,
that l had not made any request of
Judge Taft and he had not made any
of me, that our conversation yester-
day was only social and that which
would naturally be suggested by the
character of the occasion. 1 wish
there could be some way found to
stop the publication of these mischief

LARGE ATTENDANCE AT
TEMPERANCE MEETING

: TEMPERANCE MEETING.
The meeting at the Baptist church
last night, at which John Carney, the
Irish Prohibitionist," was the attrac-
ton, was largely attended. The Sal
walton Army and the Methodist and
Southern M. E. churches adjourned
their prayer meetings and the congre-
cations went to the temperance lee
ture in a body. All these congrega'
tions, with the regular attendance,
made large audience.
The address was a strong argu-
ment against the sale and use of in.
toxicants and tobacco. 1t was of a
more quiet and polished nature than
the address on the streets yesterday
when Mr.. Carney made some hot
shots at the saloon business and put
them in decidedly plain words, that
understand. He illustrated the talk
with crayon pictures of his own
drawing, some of them quite forcible.
Mr.. Carney is an Independent tenn
perance worker, travelling over the
country and speaking to overthrow
the manufacture, sale and drinking
OF liquor, just for his love of the
cause. He is also a Baptist minister
in good standing. He has been in Jail
several times for his actions in the
temperance cause and nearly always
for obstructing the sidewalk with his
crowd, or for some such cause, but
has always won out when his case
reached the court. He went from here
to Portales this morning.

MEXICO ON


FOREST RESERVES
I o The Rocky Mountain News:
Mr.. Pinchot is evidently being
taught by his own party that the fra
mers of that plank in the Democratic
platform were more fully Informed
than he, for the New Mexico Repub-
hcan convention, on August 1S, de-
manded a reduction of the forest re-
serves.
More emphatic still was the utter
ance of the Otero county (New Mex
ico) Republican convention in it's
resolutions as follows:
1--WE demand reform in the govern
ment and policies of the forestry ser
one that, while it will fully protect
our forests, yet will leave open to
settlement and free range thousands
of acres which are now reserved as
forests, but which are in reality farm
ing and grazing lands, and are being
unjustly withheld from the use of the
actual settlers, those upon whom we
must depend for our material advance
is urged to use every means to Sc
cure this result
Those people should be well prepar-
ed to Judge whether forest reserves
prevent the settlement of the coun-
try. ,HOMESTEADER.

THE FUR SEAL.
A Sea Animal With Heart Liver and
Kidneys Like a Sheep.

A Sea Animal With Heart, Liver and
Kidneys Like a Sheep.
The fur seal is land animal Of per-
verted tastes, who, living at sea, has
had his paws changed into flippers
very like the long black kid gloves of
q woman. HIS heart, liver and kidneys
are exactly the same as those Of a
sheep and just us good to eat, but his
flesh, although just like fat mutton to
look at, is rank and distasteful from
his habit of eating fish. The whole
package is put up in parcel Of thick
white fat to keep the body warm,
while from the skin grows a heavy
crop Of beautiful brown fur, protected
with large fat oil bearing hairs, max
ing glossy surface which slides
through the water without friction.
Perfectly fearless, overlooking with
fun, q perfect little athlete, marvellous
ly strong, the fur seal is the most de-
lightful of all wild creatures. But, al
Though they live ut sea, the seals, be-
ing heavily clothed in fat, skin and
hair, find the temperate ATTITUDES much
too warm for comfort during the sum-
mer months. Since they cannot shed
their garments like ourselves, they
migrate to subarctic climate, gather
ing in immense multitudes where there
are fisheries to support them. Their
ration Is fifty pounds Of cod every
day, which for creature the size of o
sheep is derable.-Exchange

Experiences of an English Military

When Lieutenant Henderson was
captured by the natives of the Gold
Coast hinterland they got into
wordy discussion as to how they would
kill him. The victim listened awhile
till he was weary Of 1t. "Oh, well"
he said, Il can't he bothered with your
arguments! I'm very sleepy. Let me
know when you have made up your
minds" And off to sleep he went
The unexpected performance saved his
life. His calm Indifference persuaded
Samory's men that they had to do with
some one of immense Importance. In
willing to take on themselves the re-
sponsibility for his death, they sent
him unframed to Samory's court, In
the Jimini country.
Once again Lieutenant Henderson
saved himself by like exhibition or
courage. He found Samory on
throne, surrounded by 1900 warriors,
vet when motioned to do homage on
his hands and knees he did nothing OF
the sort. He simply sat on the throne
beside Samory. shaking that monarch
warmly by the hand. Thanks to this,
and to nothing else, he was accepted
as the representative Of great SOW
ereign instead Of a captive doomed to
death. He talked to Samory OF the
queen, and Samory talked to him. Thus

Gambling In Metal.

Gambling in metal is done by means
Of buying and selling warrants, these
being the notes for specified quaint.
ties Of metal held in stock.
The basis of the gambling is that In
many businesses 1t is often necessary
to buy ahead large quantities Of metal.
When things are slack large stocks ac-
cumulate, while as soon as things be-
come more brisk the metal is taken out
Of the stores.
An, immense amount Of gambling Is
done in connection with pig" as pig
iron is popularity known. Warrants for
pig are made out In units Of 500 tons,
and payment is made for the warrants
once month. Should a man really
want 800 tons Of pig iron he obtains u
warrant which authorizes him to take
500 tons out of store, and he will be re-
quired to pay for the metal within
the month.
Supposing a man buys In the expec-
tation that he will be able to sell the
pig iron at a higher price than is ruling.
he buys warrants according to his
means. and he has month for things
to mature. Should the price Of pig go
up during the month he is able to sell
his bargain to another man, and he
pockets the difference, although he
has never laid down any money in real
coin.
Should things go wrong with him
and prices 60 down, then he is obliged
to pay the difference between the price
at which he bought the pig and the
price at which he is able to sell 1t, and
30 he sustains a loss.-L0ndon An
