HOW HE LOST OUT.

He was one of those comic paper
funny chaps-not because he was lost
to all sense of shame, but because he
needed the money.
NO. he said, in reply to the query
of an acquaintance, Il never make
puns any more. The last one Lgot off
cost me a cool $4,000"
How was that?" queried the other
Shortly after my marriage" said
the ex-punster. "a couple of my aunts
who were very fat not very fair, and
considerably over 40, came to visit us
for a few days-so | learned after
ward. Well, my wife met me at the
door that evening upon my return
home, and put me wise to their pres
ence, so hiked for the parlor and

Chesterfield pea-green with envy / an
nounced that 1t afforded me great
pleasure to make my obeisance to my
obese aunts. That settled IT. They
were passengers on the first homeward
bound tfa.n."
And the s50O0O?" queried the one
man audience.
That's where the briny flow is
turned on rejoined the humorous
party. "A year later they got mixed
up in an earthquake. and when their
wills were read it was found that /.
their only living relative, had been dis
inherited and the $4,000 went to en-.
dow a home for friendless cats"

 General Round-Up in New York.
 New York, Dec. 21.-Twenty seven modistes alleged to be involved in the vast sleeper trunk" smuggling sys- tems, one of the many ramifications of the customs frauds which have been brought to light at this port, have been indicted by the federal grand jury and all probably will be under arrest within twenty- -four hours. IIav- ing obtained all the evidence necessary to proceed, the government began a general roundup this afternoon with the arrest of nine women and four men. All were arraigned before a United States commissioner and held for trial. Caroline Windmuller, held as one of the principal offenders gave bail for $5, 900. The others gave sure- ty in smaller amounts. It is alleged that the government was defrauded out of thousands of dollars by means of trunks containing imported finery which were left on steamship piers and secretly removed later.

AMERICAN CAPTAIN FOWLER
In Command of Artillery on Firing
 Line at Battle of Rama.

Eluefields, Nicaragua, Dec. 21.-The reVolutionists under command of Gen era Estrada have completely routed the Zelayan forces near Rama. Estra- da has captured Recreo, Vasquez's strongest position, and he has been victorious all along the line, which stretches for a distance of eight miles.
 Yesterday the forward movement be- gan, attachments being sent out under Generals Luis Mena. Fornos Diaz, AL fredo Diaz, Chamorro and Matuty. It was General Menas task to outhank Gonzales, who directed the defense of the great body of the government troops. These in large numbers were well entrenched, but Estrads's follow CTS were armed with the latest equip ment and machine guns were brought into play to clear the trenches. The casualties on the government side were high, the greatest execution being done at Recreo.
 Among those in the revolutionary ranks was Capt. Godfrey Fowler, for merly of the Thirty-third infantry, U. $. A., who was in command of the ar tillery on the firing line.

U. S. STEEL CORPORATION
 PROFIT SHARING PLAN
Employees May Subscribe to Preferred
 Stock at $i25 a Share.

New York, Dec. 21.-The finance committee of the United States Steel corporation has voted to offer the en- ployes of the. corporation the oppor- tunity of subscribing to it's preferred stock at $125 a share. In addition a bonus of $1.00O,000 in cOnfnou and preferred will shortly be divided, each employe having the choice of common stock at 90 or preferred at 124, or a proportion of both. This is the high est price at which the preferred has been offered to the employees since the company's profit sharing plan went in- to effect in 1903. The subscription price of the stock last year was $110 a share. Today 1t closed on the stock market at 124 7-S.
 Since the profit sharing plan was instituted, the employees have sub scribed in all for 15,0OO shares of com mon and 193,493 shares of preferred for which they have paid $17.475,000. At present prices, their investment shows a paper profit of Ss.525,000.
 The decision of the finance commit tee is of interest as reflecting the company's attitude toward the recent declaration of war against the com pany by the American Federation of Labor, which declared the steel cor poration its greatest enemy

that the victory over the Zelayan troops is complete" The state depart ment has reveived word from Thomas H. Moffat, United States consul at Bluefields, that Estrada had partially routed and defeated the force of Ze- laya." It Is agreed, however. that the moral effect of such initial success on the part of the revolutionists can hard ly be exaggerated.
 The first announcement of the suc- cess of the Estrada arms came in a cablegram to Dr. Castrillo. the repre- sentative here of the provisional gov- ernment. The cablegram said: Com plete victory is ours. ZeIaya's troops are in retreat"
 Desperate Fighting.
 Later this evening the state depart ment gave out the following message from Consul Moffat which had been sent by wireless telegraph from Colon: Estrada forces at Tatumbla and Ra- crero, near Rama, commanded by Gen eral -Mena at the former place and Generals Chamofro. Mattuti and For mas Diaz at the latter place partially routed and defeated the forces of Ze- laya after desperate fighting of sev- eral hours. The Zelayan forces were commanded by General Gonzales. A great many were killed, the number being unknown; 100 were wounded and 150 prisoners were taken by the revo- lutionists.- The Zelayan troops at Re- creo have occupied what has been con- sidered strong position. Estrada is confident of defeating the enemy when he renews the attack tomorrow and of forcing their surrender.

MRS. MARTIN DISAPPOINTED.
She Had, Made All Preparations for
 Discharge from the Tombs.

New York. Dec. 21.-The Essex county grand jury met at East Or ange N. J., today to determine if the evidence submitted by Prosecutor Mott was sufficient to justify them in hand ing down indictments against Mrs. Mary Snead and her sisters. Miss Vir- ginia Wardlaw and Mrs. Caroline W. Martin, charging them with the mur- der of Mrs. Ocey W. Snead. Mrs. Wardlaw is under arrest in East Or ange, and her two sisters are held here in the Tombs, pending the issue of extradition papers. application for which has already been made.
 No public finding was given out to- day, but the pleased expression of the prosecutor and his answer to inquir- ies indicated that he is confident in- dictments will be published tomorrow. Mrs. Martin was disappointed. Conh- dent that no indictments would be found she had made preparations for her discharge.
 q presented all of my case that was necessary" was the prosecutors only comment when he left the jury room.
 From the fact that several of the witnesses were not examined this re- ply was construed to mean that . prima facie case had readily been made out.

Second. the copy of Cooks note books does not contain any original astronomical observations whatsoever, but only results.
 Third, the documents presented are inexcusably lacking in information which would prove that the astronom- ical observations therein referred to were really made. and also contains no details regarding the practical work of the expedition and the sledge jour ney which would enable the committee to determine their reliability.
 "The committee, therefore, is of the opinion that the material transmitted for examination contains no proof that Dr. Cook reached the pole"
 The report is signed by all six mem- bers of the committee, who were as- sisted in their inquiry by Knud Ras- mussen, the Arctic explorer. The uni- versity council issued this statement:
 "The documents handed the univer- sity for examination do not contain observations and information which can be regarded as proof that Dr. Cook reached the North pole on his recent expedition
