AVOrdupOis

PITTSBURG-Valuing her flesh
or rather the flesh she did have, but

Miss Luella Lowstetter, a buxom
school teacher of the fashionable
suburb of Sheraden, today entered
suit trying to collect the price of
twenty-five lost pounds, $4,000,
from Crof Earl w. Reed, principal
of the borough schools of Sheraden.
Miss Lowstetter charges that Pro-
fessor Reed Tilted her in a most
shameful manner after he had agreed
to marry her and she had gotten her
wedding trosseau ready.
The claims Of herself and her at
torneys in open court today were

that she lost at least twenty-five
pounds in flesh owing to her worry
over being Tilted and that wedding
clothes would not even fit her now.
She wants $25, 900 damages, saying
that she thinks that price per pound
about right
Miss Lowstetter had in court scores
for years a leader in a church choir
in Sheraden and she set forth that it
was in church that the school prin-
cipal first met her and seemed to be
charmed with her voice.

way of Panama.
This was in December, 1S48. He
opened store at Sacramento, Cal,
and his merchandise went off" like
the proverbiaI hot cakes. In one
year he made a clear profit of $40,-
600, and, using the money to pur-
chase fresh supplies of goods, he was
a rich man within another twelve
months. From that time on he grew
steadily richer; for he began to deal
in bullion, with large gain to himself,
and everything he touched seemed
to literally turn to gold
In 1876 D. o. Mills went back to
New York. People had forgotten
that he really belonged in the east,
and his arrival in the metropolis Gre
ated no little excitement. Popularity
considered, he was the first of the
great western multi-millionaires to
go east and settle down; and fabu-
lous accounts were printed of his
wealth. He was called in the news
papers Monte Cristo," and it was
declared that he positively refused
to eat from any dish or plate that
was not of solid gold.
Mr.. Mills invested heavily in New
York real estate and increased his
millions. In his benefactions he has
been generous, and his hotels :or
workingmen, where board and lodg-
ing can be had at low prices, have
done much to alleviate distress. He
has been largely responsible for the
Harvesting of Niagara feat of in
genuity, accomplished at an expense
of $80,000,000, by which energy
equivalent to 100000 horsepower is
made available for a great variety
of purposes. He is a trustee in many
large enterprises and is one of the
country's richest men.

Pines That Have Been Turpentined
Are All Dying.

Captain J. B. Way, a prominent
turpentine operator of Thomas coun-
ty, reports that the timber turpen-
tined this year is rapidly dying. He
has been operating forty crops this
year, and of this number about Is
crops are dead. The only cause to
which the death of the trees can be
attributed is the unprecedented def
cheney in rainfall. Most all the lakes
and ponds from which the trees could
have drawn moisture have been dry
for year.
If present conditions continue
much longer the damage to the tur-
pentine industry will be almost in
calculable.

LAST OF THE BONANZA KINGS
ID. o. MILLS RECENTLY REACHED
HIS 84TH BIRTHDAY.
His Connection With The Famous
COmstOCk Lode in the Golden
DAYS Of Western Mining.

ComstOck Lode in the Golden
Days of Western Mining.
Darius Ogden Mills, of New York,
who recently celebrated his saith
birthday, is the last of the bonanza
kings In the golden days of mining
in the west, while there were many
rich finds, there really was on
ly one big bonanza-the famous
Comstock lode at Virginia City, New.
1t was the greatest deposit of
precious metal ever discovered. OF
the four men who owned it one, John
w. Mackay, had been a ship car
penter, and had sailed to California
in vessel which he himself helped
build Flood and O'Brien were poor
miners; and the fourth proprietor
Jim" Fair, was young mining eX-
pert and engineer. Money was need
ed to develop the property, and it
was furnished by a young banker
named Darius o. Mills, who in this
way acquired a share of the bonanza.
Nobody knows what the profit on his
Investment was, but must have been
enormous.
Mackay, Flood, O'Brien and Fair
are all dead, and Mills alone sur
wives. He began his life as a poor
boy, without a dollar, but he could
look ahead. Thus, when the gold
digging excitement broke out in Cali
fornia he saw at once that there was
more moned to be made by selling
necessaries to the miners than by
grubbing for the precious metal
Accordingly, having saved every
possible penny while working in a
New York store and in a bank at
Buffalo, he invested his little capital
in clothing tools and other goods

EFFECT OF PROHIBITION.
Great Slump in Bottle Manufacturing
Business.

Business.
1t developed at the meeting of the
glass bottle blowers and manufacture
ers in Pittsburg that the wave of
prohibition which has swept over the
country during the last few years has
worked harm to the industry, even if
it has accomplished good in the com
munities where it is enforced
1t is estimated that more than 90
600 bottle blowers have worked on
half time or been altogether idle
through the slump in the bottle man
ufacturing business caused by prohi-
bition. This is not in keeping with
the frequent statements of distillers
and brewers that prohibition does not
prohibit, but really increases the use
of liquor.
The manufacturers reported that
in recent years the bottle business
has deteriorated until it cannot be
conducted on paying basis, the same
being attributed solely to the lack of
demand for beer and liquor bottles.
Many of the factories previously en-
gagged in this business have now
turned their attention to manufac-
turing prescription bottles.

The other day l was asked these
questions: Has there been as much
heroism displayed for the right as
for the wrong? Has virtue had as
many martyrs as vice?"
For hundreds of years the world
has endeavored to destroy the good
by force. The expression of honest
thought was regarded as the greatest
Of crimes. Dungeons were filled by
the noblest and the best and the blood
of the bravest was shed by the sword
or consumed by flame. 1t was impos-

torture and death are as impotent to
do away with vice as to destroy vir-
tue?
In our country there has been for
years a growing feeling that convicts
should neither be degraded nor tor
tured. 1t was provided in the Con-
Istitution of the United States that
"cruel and unusual punishments
should not be inflicted" Benjamin
Franklin took great interest in the
treatment of prisoners, being a thor
ough believer in the reforming influ-
ence of justice, having no confidence
whatever in punishment for punish
ment's sake.
To me it has always been a mys-

something of the weakness of human
nature. something of the temptations
to which he himself has been exposed
