RICHARD WATSON GLIDER
VICTIM OF HEART DISEASE

New York, Nov. 23.-Richard Watson
Glider, editor In chief Of the Century
Magazine since it's foundation in 1881,
and widely known as an author and
lecturer, died Unexpectedly last night
Of angina pectoris at the house Of his
sister, Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer,.
Mr.. Glider was taken i'll during the de-
livery Of a lecture OF "Tennyson" be-
fore the Y. M. c.. A. at Orange, N. j.,
on the night of the 18th. Assistance
was summoned from New York by tel
ephone. Mr.. Glider was up and about,
although he suffered occasional seiz-
ures Of sharp pain. His physicians
diagnosis realized the nature Of his
malady was grave, but they didn't ac-
quaint Mr.. Glider with the truth.
Mr.. Glider was born at B~ordentown,
N. j., in 1874. Becoming a printer in
his youth, he was engaged in literary
work nearly all his life.
Better known as a poet even thar
editor, Mr.. Glider has published six
books of verse, among which are SON.
nets and lyrics which have found a
setting in the American anthology and
have been rated by critics as sure to
pass into the heritage of the language.
His best works are: The Celestial
Passion Lyrics" 1.-TWO Worlds"
1.-THE Great Remembrance" 'In Pales-
tine" Poems and INSCRIPTIONS" "A
Christmas Wreath" "A Book of Mu-
sic"

"ALL HET Upv
BY POSSUM talk
Big Bill May Yet Declare
Attorney General Major
Guilty Of Lese Majestic.

Washington, Nov. 23.-The opinion
rendered by Elliott w. Major. attorney
general of Missouri, in the case Of Brer
Rabbit and Brer Postum. friends Of
the late Uncle Remus, hag evoked ma
tional discussion. Missouri congress-
men. are divided bitterly as to whether
the attorney general. by his ruling that
the critters" in question are not pro-
tected by the game laws, has proved
himself to be their enemy or whether
he Is their sincerest friend.
1t has been suggested that he has
been guilty Of lese majestic. Upon this
point President Taft refuses to commit
himself, but 1t has become known
through friends close to the chief ex-
ecutive that he fears sectional hatred
will be engendered. As Brer Coon, Brer
Fox and Brer Wolf also are denied pro-
lection In the opinion Of the major, the
latter w being not distinctively ma
tives of the south, this position is
scarcely tenable.
The following passage from Nights
With Uncle Remus' is cited by those
who know him well to prove the man
ner In which his affection went to
Brer Postum:
But, Uncle Remus, what became of
Brother, Possum? ?" (asked the little
boy).
Uncle Remus smacked his lips and
looked wise.

$500 TOO MUCH TO
PAY FOR HUSBAND
Widow in Search of Mate Gets
Order for Money She
Puts Up.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. ga fee O.
$500 is entirely too large to charge a
woman for finding her a husband.
That is the opinion Judge James E.
Ellison of the Kansas City court of APP
peals gave in the case of Mrs. Dora
Wenninger against d. X. Mitchell anu
Mrs. Mitchell, in a case appealed from
Queen City, Mo.
Mrs. Wenninger was Mrs. Dora
Skinner, a widow, until October, 1906.
Six months before that date she went
to Queen City, Mo-, to board at the
home Of the Mitchells. She paid Mr.
Mitchell $500 for a half interest in his
livery stable.
Il want a husband, and II you will
find one / will give you all my in
terest in the livery stable for which
l have paid you $780," Mr.. and Mrs.
Mitchell says Mrs. Skinner told them.
They set about to earn the fee, they
said. Mrs. Skinner had advertised for
a husband In a matrimonial agency
paper and answers began to come
John Wenninger Of Lincoln, Neb.,
pleased her most. Mr.. Mitchell wrote
two letters for her and an. engage
ment followed.
Shortly after the marriage Mrs. Wen
ninger asked for an accounting and a
division of the livery stable. The Nit
chells claimed 1t as their fees for Sc
curing a husband for her.
In his opinion Judge Ellison said
that it was not customary in Missouri
to take a fee for obtaining a husband
for a woman or a wife for a man, nor
was there anything in law war

some note In his W country.
The Jap and the white girl have been
living In Trinidad for about a month
in the Japanese quarter. When the jap
anese appeared on the streets in an in
toxicated condition, he was arrested. and
the girls story then came to light. She
said that her parents were prominent
people in the California city-that they
objected to her acquaintance with the Jap,

forbade him the house.. Then they decided
to elope and left San Francisco.

'Wyeno said that marriage was a mere

were never married. I soon discovered
that the white and the brown races do
not mix. but Wyeno refused to give me
up, and ! was afraid to run away. Be-

When arrested she decided to tell her
story to the police, and efforts will be

Miss Lloyd Is unusually attractive, and
not more than 10 years of age. She Is
tall and fair, and herself says she cannot
understand how she could have ever

Wyeno was fined IS in police court.

HILL PREDICTING
NATIONS DECLINE
Declares Extravaganza Extends
to Government Manage
ment of Finances.

Washington, Nov. 24.-"History
shows that the high cost of living Is the
beginning of every national decline"
This Is the sum-up Of the nations as
James ]. Hill views 1t at present. Mr..
Hill had a long talk with Mr.. Taft
before the cabinet meeting, and when
he left the White House he declared
that we must economize, both in our
private life and in our government sys-
TENS, or take h consequences. Just
what these consequences are to be Mr..
Hill did not specify, but intimated that
the country was in a pretty bad way.
Mr.. Hill denied that he knew any
thing Of a water power trust.
q" don't know anything of such a
trust" he said.
you should do like Fr~anklin-get a
kite and go up in the air and look for
it," said Mr.. Hill.
He said he was still strong for the
conservation of national resources.
But what we need most at present"
he added, rs a conservation Of BUSH
ness. We must quiet down and let
things go along smoothly. We are too
much inclined to throw away our
money"
He added that he thought the brains
Of the country could find no better
work to do than the evolution Of some
scheme that would correct the growing
national habit of extravaganza.
Before Mr.. Hill left the White House
he had half an hours talk with Sen
ator Bourne of Oregon, who is chair
man Of the Senate subcommittee or
public expenditure. The senator told
him that in the report he was prepar-
ing to submit to his committee he
would show how the government was
needlessly spending all the way from
$50, 900, 900 to 500, 600, 900 a year.
1--WE can cut down the expenditure in
the government service all the way
from S to 10 per cent" he said, 'by put
ting business methods in place of
wastefulness."

ALICE DIDN'T Wear
CRIMSON BREECHES
Longworth Characterizes the
Charges Against His Wife
as Rot and Lies"

Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 24.-Represent-
alive Nicholas Longworth has replied
at length to the statements which have
been published by a woman in Berlin, to
the effect hat his wife, while she was
still Miss Alice Roosevelt, had been
photographed by him astride the sacred
elephant of the Koreans at their ma
tional capital.
1.-THE woman who wrote that was
either drunk or crazy" he said. I'm
the first place, / can't remember very
we'll just what sort Of a thing that
sacred elephant was, but / presume 1t
was an idol, and as such ought to be
held in respect by all visitors. y
IT know Alice did not ride about the
capital city in a scarlet riding habit,
beneath the lower extremeties of which
peeped tight fitting red riding breaches,
stuck in glittering boots. Such talk is
all rot.
1.-The same only can be said Of the
statements that Mrs. Longworth then
ode to the sacred elephant, jumped
upon it's back and stuck q cigaret in
her mouth, after which she asked me
to take her picture"

Mrs. Birdsall, with sinewy arms, barred
