SOME STORIES
AROUND TOWN

Fire Chief Wood has to stand re-
sponsible for a new joke that Is go
ing the rounds. II happened the day
/, the big chief returned from the fire
chiefs convention, and he was un-
usually busy giving his personal at
tention to business that had arisen
during his absence. As he hurried
down Broadway he met a tall, slim
maiden IN front Of the postoffice. The
big chief is gallant, and he prompt
ly stepped 20 the right when the
girl stepped to the left. Then the
big chief stepped back. SO did the
slender girl.
I'll beg your pardon" said Chief
Wood and made a side step to the
left, when to his surprise the girl
stepped to the right. She was fast
becoming apologetically hysterical
and summoning his calmness the
chief said: "stand right still madam

Teller Unrelenting siiverite,

The Monetary Commission does not
intend to recommend much larger
use Of silver than at present in our
currency system, but there is likely to
be discussion about using more silver
as security for notes. Senator Teller
IS one of the free silverites, who has
stuck to the very end. He and Mr..
Frewen are of the same opinion about
the use Of the white metal. Neither
believes in the gold standard. Prob
ably their emphasis of the need Of
silver secured notes will be speedily
forgotten in the more pressing events
that will occupy Congress and the
country during the next two months.
At time when public sentiment is
SO easily aroused over current happen,
ings it has been noticeable how little
attention has been paid in Washington
to the ousting of President Castro in
Venezuela. At one stage it looked like
" that Holland and the little South
American republic would soon be at
war, but that produced no excitement
at the State Department or with the
administration generally Castro has
defied Congress and alike he State De
partment, till this government had
deemed it the part of wisdom to ignore
him. Last spring there was an effort
TO punish him for unjust acts to-
ward American citizens, but there was
so little public interest in Venezuelan
matters that it was thought best to
do nothing beyond recalling our Min
lister at Caracas
The entente win be speedily resumed.
It has been an open secret here for
some days that President Roosevelt viii
gladly recognize the new government
under President Gomez, as a way to
resuming friendly relations and also
toward securing justice for citizops of
the United States who own property
in the South American republic.
So many affronts have been put upon
citizens of the United States in Central
| and South American countries in the
| last few years. that the sentiment in
Congress for friendly relations has been
nightly checked. Scores of eases an
nually are brought before the State
Department most of them finding a
| final resting place in the files.
At the present juncture the admin
| istration is beginning to look into its
| own government of the canal zone,

TEN YEARS OF ECZEMA.

Reports on eczema dating back ten
years show the value Of external treat

he has been getting from patients who
used oil of wintergreen, thymol and glv>
cerine in liquid form, as compounded in

teresting to know whether any person

RICH AGAINST YACHT TAX.
Can't Afford 35 Per Cent. Duty on I'm
ported Floating Palaces.

Washington. July 23.-I'he Senate
tariff bill places the imported yachts of
millonaires under a duty of 35 per
cent. and it is understood that repre-
scntatives of the rich owners of float
ing palaces are here trying to defeat
this schedule. AS substitute the
yachting rich are willing to pay an an
nual tonnage tax of 81 a ton, but this
is a poor offer when placed side by
side with the tariff proposition of So
per cent. Last year three rich men i'm
ported yachts valued at $3,0G0.000. If
they had to pay 35 per cent. on these
boats the government would have been
approximately $1.0OG,O0O richer. On the
tonnage basis the tax on them would
have been $4,000.

lonaire.

IN THE HOUSE.

Washington, July 23.-The House was
thrown into an uproar today when Mr..
Macon, Ark, reverting to his coloouy
last Monday with Mr.. Bucker, Colo,
charged that the Colorado member had
inserted in the Congressional Record
certain references to him which had
not been uttered. Not only had this
been done he said, but that insult had
been added to injury by placing in
brackets at the end of the remarks
(Great applause). He wanted it all
stricken out respectfully the Great ap-
plausc." This was ordered done after
Mr. Flicker had explained that he act
ually made the statement on the floor
and insisted there was applause. The
speaker declared the motion to strike
ont carried. although he failed to take
the negative vote.
TIL session was further alivened when
Mr.. Randcll, Texas, wanted the speak
ed to appoint a judiciary committee
to consider a bill prohibiting members
of Congress and court officers from ac-
cepting gifts or employment from cor
porations, trusts or persons interested
in Legislation.

ACCIDENTAL DEATH
Instead Of Murder Theory Lynn Police
Now Hold in Trunk Case.

Lynn, Mass, July 23.-Accidental
shooting instead of murder is now the
theory entertained by the Lynn police
who are investigating the finding of the
body Of Minos X. Monjian with a bull
let through the heart in a trunk in
Vahan Nalbandian's boarding house on
Liberty street. Monday morning The
police said tonight that they had aban-
doned all theories about the case ex-
cept that of accidental shooting and
that they had good reason to accept
the latter theory in preference to all
others Chief of Police Thomas Nj.
Burckes says he has implicit confidence
in Milton 1ooten, the Armenian police
interpreter, who gave the police infor-
nation concerning the pistol shot in
NalDandians room between $50 and I
O'Clock Sunday evening. The police
have interviewed the men who claim
to have seen Monjan in Nalbandian's
room Sunday and to have heard Nal
bandan eXclaim: God! what have l
DONE" These witnesses, according to
Inspector Stacy r. Burckes, told a
raightforward and logical story
tending to show that Nalbandian while
showing Monjian a new revolver dis
charged it accidentally. the bullet en-
tering Moniian's heart, causing instant
death. Then, the police think. Nalban-
dian, frightened at the tragedy, hid
Monjain's body in the new trunk that
Nalbandian had purchased recently for
a trip abroad and fed. The police claim
that the fact that the two men had
been firm friends SlIDnortS the theory
that the shooting was an accident.
