J. A. HARRIS, MAN WHO SHOT
CEDAR RAPIDS MAYOR,
BROUGHT BACK.
TO BE RETIRED ON
CHARGES OF BURGLARY
Harris, in an Interview, Says They
Are Doubtless Trying to Send Him
Up For Life, Having Received Twen-
ty Year Sentence For carmody MUIR
der-Likes Prison Treatment.

Cedar Rapids, Dec. 15.-Sheriff Lof-
tus and deputy passed thru the city
yesterday, enroute to Marion with ].
A. Harris, the alleged murderer OF
Mayor Carmody, and the convicted
burglar who was in DR.. Jesse and Is
aac Smiths house.
Sheriff Lotus arrived in the city
at 1880 Monday night with Harris,
and as it was too late to catch a car
ito Marion, Harris enjoyed the hospi-
tally of the police over night. While
awaiting a car to Marion Harris was
interviewed.
He chatted some about FIT. Madison
and his staying there and did not
seem the least cast down. He said he
was being treated finally at that in
stitution and while if he had a choice
he would not choose it as a boarding
house, that it did very well in a pinch.
+, i have been assigned a position
4 the chair factory he said. "My
work is not what l would call hard,
and in fact is more pleasant than
otherwise"
He spoke in a pleasant manner,
rather sarcastically. of Smiths testi-
mony in the recent trial at Marion. He
would have testified against me no
matter what 1 looked like" he said.
Then he smiled. If had been short
or tall. if had been simmer or
et7uter. it would not have made any
difference.
Il hardly believe the Carmody mat
ter will come up" he said. They
have nothing against me there. I can
not for the life of me see why they
did not try me before on the Luberger
matter, as 1 understand that is what
they are figuring on this time The
evidence is bound TO be the same.
L suppose they are trying to send
me up for life on this" He smiled a
weak smile and said: IF that is what
they are figuring on I wonder which
they want me to serve out first, this
twenty year sentence I now have o.
the life sentence. I'll stay there fol-
life all right. if the states attorney has
anything to do With it."
There never was a man convicted
who looked so little the crook as
Harris does. His face, at first rather
repulsive, on better acquaintance be-
comes more soft and he talks the cor
rect manner of man of the world
rather than a desperate burglar who
would kill in order TO escape. He new
raised his voice above the Lowest
while talking and seemed to act az tho
he was the equal. of any one around
him.

Swinburne,s Idea of God.

What Swinburne, who was under stood not to believe in a personal God, really thought on religious matters, Is one of the most absorbing features of the poets intensely interesting letters to E. C. Stedman, recently published in the Londen Times. Having been as child and a boy" Swinburne wrote, brought up a quasi Catholic, of course went in for that as passionately as for other things. then when this was naturally stark dead it left nothing to me but turbid Nihilism: for atheist never was. I always felt by instinct and perceived by reason that no man could conceive of a personal God ex- cept by superstition or else by super natural revelation; that a natural God was the standard of all human fig mentS, because no man could by other means than violation of the laws of nature conceive of any other sort of Divine person than man with a differ ence-man with some qualities intensi- fled and some qualities suppressed man with the good in him exaggerated and the evil eXcised. Now of course this is the exact definition of every God that has ever been worshipped under revelation. Men give him the qualities they prefer in themselves or about them. The God of the Christians is good for domestic virtue, bad for patriotic. Again, the god of the Greeks and Romans is not good for the do- nestle Cor personal, in the Christian sense) virtues, but gloriously good for the patriotic. But we who worship no material incarnation of any qualities, no person, may worship the Divine hu- manity, the ideal of human perfection and aspiration. without worshipping any God, any person, any fetish at all. Therefore, I might call myself kind of Christian (of the church of Blake and Shelley)." That is. notes the Times editor, taking the semi-legend- ary Christ as type of human aspira-

BOSTON COPPER,

Boston, Mass, July 7-The market is in distinctly waiting position and the only selling comes from tired holders who are discouraged by the dullness. The buying comes from well informed people who are willing to purchase stocks at this level and wait until fall for their profits The copper producers report to be issued on Friday should tend to make little activity. The accumulation which has been going on in GirouX for the past few days made itself felt this morning and scattered buy ing helped by floor traders easily advanced the price to S%. Under ground conditions at GirouX are showing steady improvement and we advise the purchase of the stock for a quick turn of two or three points. Public interest in Superior X Pitts burg has been considerably aroused by the recent activity and as soon as the stock around this level is ac- cumulated it should go much higher somewhere near 20.

MARKET REPORTS
 BY PRIVATE WIRE

New York, July IA vigorous buy suited in general advances through the list higher London market did not affect values in the early trading as the selling in steel caused ali easier feeling to prevail, but on the decline trading became dull and it was apparent that liquidation on a very large scale was improbable under existing conditions. The sale of San Francisco bonds to French in vestors had a favorable influence on the Rock Island issues and Southern Pacific. Atchison was also in good demand. which served to increase in terest in other quarters. As far as public opinions are concerned we seem to be passing through a period of dullness but the action of the market is still indicative of higher prices when the larger interests choose to become active.
 WHEAT-The late advices of yes terday and before the opening called attention to the depressed condition of the local trade and predicted q quick rebound in case of light cOun- try offerings or q continuation of wet weather. The trade had both those features this morning and made a full market in a hurry. Cash wheat prices were quote three to four. cents nigr.r al Kansas City. FIesh eXp ,rt business of about 200 boatloads was reported. A sudden change to bright and favorable weather may take the edge off the market, but we feel that the buying side of the market is the safe and profitable one on all forced breaks.
 CORN-Pottom prices on corn were made on the opening. The upturn from these figures was as prompt as it was in wheat. Wet weather is a bullish feature as many sections are reporting low lands flooded and

"Venice" Planned on the Back
 of an Envelope.

Barnum saw Nero" and offered me a great sum to be allowed to produce it in connection with his own show in London I was just then starting for London. so he commissioned me to examine Olympia and tell him wheth- CT or not it would be suitable for Nero" I told him it would; and so Nero" rewritten and produced upon a much smaller but more artistic scale, was seen by Londoners.
 It was while I was staying at Bar nuns place at Bridgeport. Conn. that the idea of "Venice" flashed across my mind-not a ''Venice in Italy" but Venice transported to London. took a scrap of paper-an envelope from my pocket, and then and there schemed out my idea My mind went back to my studies of Venice thirty years before; the whole thing as 1t should be rose up before me, and down it went, even the details. on the back of that envelope. When Venice at tracted its thousands and hundreds of thousands to Olympia. in 1892. it had all arisen naturally from my plans on the back of that envelope.
 A still greater opportunity was at hand for me. The Columbian exhibi- tion was to bring the whole universe to Chicago. A dramatic pageant on an unprecedented scale was demanded. and that is how America" in twelve acts. came into being at the immense auditorium in Chicago-the largest theater then in the world.
