Among those present, the career of
Miss Mary E. Macarthur is perhaps
the most striking. She is now 90
years old, but during the last seven
years she has been at the center of
the great English fights for women's
rights, especially in labor. She was
made secretary OF the British Women's

FALLS IS
Still in DARKNESS
RALLIES FROM SHOCK or
LOSSES, BUT FAILS TO
MAKE TERMS WITH
DAYTON co.

:. ! II. !. D
Fergus, Falls, MINI, Sept. 2S.-This
city is rapidly recovering from the
shock sustained in the washing away
of its five dams and the temporary
suspension OF it's manufacturing en-
terprises. Gasoline engines have been
ordered by several of the mills and
factories and these will furnish power
until other arrangements can be made.
The fumes of two of the dams are in
TACT and Golfer dams will be put in
this fall so that they will furnish
power during the winter, and arrange
ments will be made to rebuild them in
a more substantial manner in the
early spring.
The big problem is to light the city.
When the massive Dayton Hollow
dam was constructed ave miles below
town last year, the company wanted
an open market for its electricity
here, but the city. being in the lighting
business itself, refused TO permit any
competition. The result is that there
Is no connection with the Dayton Hol-
low dam. and fully month will elapse
before the necessary wires can be
strung and the transformers PUT on,
so that the city will be compelled to
get along with tallow candles and
Kerosene for that length of time at
least.
The Dayton Hollow company has
come forward and offered to furnish
all the electricity wanted at The city's
switchboard for % cents kilowatt.
The city council met Saturday night
to consider the proposition, and much
opposition developed TO the making of
a ten-year contract, several aldermen
insisting that five years was long
enough The matter was referred back
to the committee for a further con-
ference.
Should a deadlock develop in the re-
gotiations, it Is difficult to tell how
long the city is likely to remain in
darkness.

.BALLINGER Is
LEFT IN COLD
REcKoNED WITHOUT HOST WHEN
he THOUGHT TAFTys LETTER
MEANT FoREsTEFs SCALP.

Washington, Sept 2e-Gffford PIN
chot has won his fight with Richard "A.
Bailinger, secretary OF the interior as
washington sees It, President Taft's
statement ID looked upon as an at
tempt to back down from his original
support Of his cabinet of1lcer without
appearing to do so.
Pinchot's men here do not conceal
their glee over the pictured reports OF
Ballinger sulking In his room while
the chief forester trotted about Salt
Lake at the presidents right hand
Unkind Cut for 5allineer.
IT is well to remember that the diff
ference between Ballinger and Pinchot
was that when legal doubt arose,
Ballinger was determined to give the
land, timber and water power corpora
tions the benefit OF II, while Pinchot
insisted on giving the people the bene-
fit of IT,
Ballinger has been taking advantage
of legal technicalities to surrender to
the corporations water power and other
rights, which Pinchot under Roosevelt
had reserved.

struction. Pinchot must defend every
government reservation OF timber

which Ballinger and the corporations
could make against 1t.
To Give rinchot More Power.
| Mr.. Taft in the Gunnison country,
lopening the Roosevelt dam. seeing the
great reclamation work at frsti hand
changed his attitude. Evidently be-
cause he wanted to hide his face-about
the president still declared that Pinchot
must have the highest technical au-
thority for his every act. The presi-
dent promised, however, and here Is
where Ballinger took to his room, that
he would demand of congress this win
ter all the technical authority Pinchot
might need.
Moreover with the Taft sympathy
switched about the presidents inter-
probation of the law in these cases may
be more generous than it was while
he was following Ballingers advice.
At least Pinchot processes himself
sufficiently satisfied to stay inside the
administration. 1t is well known that
Pinchot will not stay a minute after
he feels that the Roosevelt conserva-
ton policy is threatened. When that
time comes he win take his millions
outside the breastworks and start

Taft Sees Handwriting on Wall.
It is probable that the fear of that
insurrection and the pretty nearly uni
versal support of Pinclot by the coun-
try in this controversy had considerable
influence In the prasidantss shift
On the other hand, Ballinger will
now be at the Taft side through
large part Of the tour. 1t will be his
turn at the Taft ear. The president
has already changed his mind unex-
Ipectedly once or twice. He may again,
so the Ballinger adherents here say
and hope.
The advantage of having the last
word with this president Is coming to

The Word "Person."

General Benjamin E. Butler, it Is
said, once asserted that woman was
not a person. and a London suf-
fragette insists that the word person
in it's legal sense includes woman. The
word has had an interesting history.
Signifying by etymology something to
make a sound through, the Latin per
soma began by meaning an actors
mask with its mouthpiece. Then it
meant the character represented by
the player-"dramatis personae." Then
1t came to mean the part or character
one sustains in real life, and so the
persona ecclesiae," the man who rep
resented the church, became known
as person in a special sense and
was eventually spelled as ''parson.'
On the other hand, person" faded
away to mean just anybody. And 50.
though a woman naturally resents be-
ing referred to as a "person" in or

SAW THE GHOST.
A Story That Stood the Test Of
Court Of aw

AS a circumstantial ghost story and
one that stood the cold scrutiny of
court of law Booty's case is without a
parallel. The date given is 1858, when
Mrs. Booty brought an action for SIAN
der against one Captain Barnaby for
what he had said of her late husband.
According to an extract from a jour-
nal produced in court, dated Friday,
May Is, 1857, the captain on that day
went ashore with large party or
friends to shoot rabbits upon Strombo-
II, the island off Italy, which, from its
ever burning crater, is called the
lighthouse of the Mediterranean" At
about $50 in the afternoon two men
were seen running toward the volcano,
which was emitting flames. Captain
Barnaby then exclaimed. Lord bless
me, the foremost is old Booty, my
next door neighbor" They then van
ished in the flames. fact of which
every one present took note.
Upon Captain Barnaby's return to
England be learned that "old Booty
had died just about the time Of the
strange occurrence at Stromboli. He
then made the remark which was the
subject of the action, that he had
seen old Booty running into the flames
Of hell pursued by the devil" Mrs.
Booty claimed $1,000 as damages. and
the case came on in the kings bench
before the chief justice. Sir Robert
Wright. For the defense, in addition
to the testimony Of Captain Barnaby
and his friends, old Booty'S clothes
were brought into court and identified
by several witnesses as being similar
to those worn by the foremost man
who ran into the crater-even to the
peculiar buttons on the coat. The
Judge was so impressed by this evil
dence that he said: Lord have mercy
upon me and grant that may never
see what you have seen. One, two or
three may be mistaken. but not thir-
ty." And so Booty's widow lost the
day, and the case remains. perhaps, as
the only judicially accepted ghost
story on record. London Chronicle.

Maori Women.

Maori women of New Zealand know
nothing about kissing. Nose rubbing
is their form of salutation. and when
two friends meet they hold each other
by their hands, bend their heads until
their noses touch and then rub them
gently from side to side. This form
Of greeting is not confined to the wom-
en-, but is practiced by the men. They
seldom meet without rubbing noses.
In times Of lamentation the Maori
women will sit for hours with their
noses touching and moan for the loss
Of some chief whom they have in all
probability never seen. The loss of
a brother or friend is enough to start
them off for days, all moaning and
bowling piteously. They are essen
