LIVED UNSECURED BY WORLD
Col. William R. Morrison, Amid Pc.
 litical Turmoil, Retained LovahIe Disposition.

Col. William R. Morrison, for years one of the Democratic leaders of the national house of representative and the author of the ''horizontai' tariff bill, who died recently at his home in Waterloo, H., was as noted for his lovable disposition as he was for his backbone When John c. Carlisle was speaker it was a common saying among members of congress: What great man John Carlisle would be if he had Bill Morrison's backbone, and what a great man Bill Morrison would be if he had John Carlisle's brainsi"
 Col Morrison was never known to speak i'll of any one. Years ago in Waterloo there was a loafer who did not seem to possess one single re- ,deemine trait. A wager was made that Col Morrison wouldn't be able to say one good thing about this fellow. Finally a crowd collected and began to talk about the worthlessness and xiciousness of the fellow. All had spoken except Col Morrison, who re- marked, Well, boys, you must admit that he is good whistler"
 When the old friends of Mr. Car Hale were complaining to Col. Morri- son that his old friend MT Carlisle, then secretary of the treasury, ought to resign his position. Morrison met it with this inquiry: What will Carlisle resign tor

Miss Josephine NJ. Griswol0. sccre- tGry of the Connecticut Children's Aid society, said in a recent report that a decided interest in all quarters ia manifested in the care of the chii dren. Conferences and meetings ard being held everywhere to try to gee as much light on the subject as pos sible 4 new child study bureau has been instituted at Clark university. h November there will be held at Hart. ford conference of physicians and Phflanthropists upon infant mortality and kindred topics, which will bring together specialists from all over the country.

 The man who stays too long In parliament makes a mistake" he said, in an interview. "Palmerston, my first premier, and Gladstone both stayed too long. Gladstone quite lost his balance toward the end. Even Lord Morley cannot defend all Glad stone did in later years.
 "The house once had a good laugh at Gladstone. He was speaking with contempt of Disraeli's followers and stopped for a word to describe them. Satellites suggested Disraeli quietly. It was obviously the word Gladstone wanted, and the house roared with pleasure, while Gladstone was plainly upset.
 "I remember another occasion when Disraeli took the sting out of an at tack by Gladstone. The latter had been speaking in his romping way, throwing his arms about and declaim. ing vigorously Disraeli rose from the other side of the table and said with apparent seriousness: While the right honorable gentleman was speak ing was glad to feel that there was a big piece of furniture between us In black and white that is nothing, but Disraeh's manner delighted the house.

 Sir Francis Powell's chief claim to remembrance will be the interest he has taken in sanitation and education. He will retain his seat until the close of the present parliament.

Huge Sum Dropped in Play.

London society is gossiping about the tremendously high gambling by members of two of the most exclu- sive clubs in the West end. These reckless young men played ecarte. Following other heavy losses at the scard table, one diplomat lost S12.000, an amount equal to his salary for three years. Whatever his private for tune, he had to default on his debts of honor Of course, foreign diplo- mats are immune from all legal pro ceedings. But not so the English gamesters. One of them, an officer in a crack cavalry corps, has lost the stupendous sum of $400,000 in six weeks, 1t Is reported. Certainly he Is being put through bankruptcy now by the money lenders who hold his notes.

Whether R. L. James, former man ager of the Courtland Telephone Com pany, has taken himself to Mexico, to Los Angeles or to the far east is a mystery that has remained unsolved since Thursday morning, when James took his 3-year-old son and left Court land in an automobile for parts un- known
 The books 1of the Courtland Tele- phone Co are also said to be left in such tangle that to date experts employed upon them are unable to state how they stand It is alleged that the accounts are not as they should be, which brought on James hurried departure
 Coupled with this are domestic troubles of over a eyars stanading. James formerly worked for the Bisbeo Improvement Company in this city and was married to Miss Van Horn. About year ago they separated. James go- ing to California, where he remained several months. Returning to Court land he secured the position as man ger of the telephone company, and

 ad been living with relatives in Bis ee, went to Conrtland, their differ nces were patched up and they lived together again
 Their married life, however, is said not to have been pleasant one, and last Thursday they agreed to separate, Mrs. James to have the custody of their son. James agreed to pay her a sum of money, she was to return to Bisbee with the child and later apply for a divorce He said he was going to Mexico.
 He hired an automobile and when ready to leave town kidnapped his son and took him along. The driver of the machine came back to Co1Trland Saturday and told that he had taken him to Vail station on the Southern Pacific, this side Of Tucson, where he had taken a train either for Mexico or for Los Angeles, he did not know which and did not wait to see. This reached Mrs. James ears before she came to Bisbee, which she did SatuT- day night.

Mimicry in Fishes.

In lecture on fish photography at the Royal Photographic society's exhi- bition, Dr. Francis Ward said that the power which certain fish possessed to change their color in harmony with their environment resided in their eye. He placed a pike in such posi- ton that it's head was in dark cham Der while the rest of its body lay in bright sunshine. Although it's resting place was perfectly white the pike re- mained black in color. But when he reversed its position and caused it's head to be in the sun light, its color changed to 8 veEy much lighter hue within the space of a few minutes. It was evil dent that in fish, which possessed pro tective powers of this kind to a great CT extent than birds or any other creatures, the light acted upon the op- tic nerve, thus causing the pigment cells all over the skin to contract or -elax.-London Globe.

pannsr in the West.

Is there danger that the west Is growing effete? Are the hardy virtues of the pioneers failing of repetition in the easier lives of their sons? Must the ripened crops languish for lack of iaborers, while the future heirs and heiresses disport themselves? That veteran friend of the once horny handed farmer, Secretary Wilson. re- ports that his client is more than ont of debt. He has paid for his farm. his fences and his machinery. He has money in his pockets, the crops keep on growing. and he is afraid of east ern securities. Hence he buys luxu- ries. In the words of the secretary: Folks in the east do not know what luxuries are. They must go west to find that out"

@Dr. Cook and Commander Peary know the worth of their north polar facts. They refuse to give these facts to the press-they only sell them Such course is necessary on their part, but 1t is not unwise."
 The speaker, noted Philadelphia geographer, resumed, thoughtfully:
 Cook once told me that if he. ever discovered the pole he would charge for all he told about it. He said he knew his worth. He said he was like poor old Ned Hopley of his native Cal icoon.

That it is suspected there have al ready been several illegal registrations upon the part of voters in the Bisbee precinct was the statement made yes terday by William Maxwell Burke, Ph.

PRETTY FLORAL PARADE
Washington Thinks She Outdid Cali fornia Cities in Her Recent
 Beautiful Procession.

Washington had an auto-fioral pa raAe. recently which, it is believed, was as fine as any that Los Angeles or San Francisco can possibly give. True it was not as long on flowers as in the famed California cities, bP: the enthusiasm was something to warm the heart of the stranger. Washington has a parade about every other day in the year, you know, and her people get just a little tired at times of always being on the street gazing at long lines of marching men, but this was one time when every body was happy, and singularly enough not a single arrest was made during the day or night that was chargeable to the parade.
 There were 100 automobiles in the parade, all of them handsomely dec orated with flowers and bunting. Some half dozen of the floats were entirely decorated with flags. Some of these were unique in design. You can i'm agine how pretty they looked with the siIken colors flying out on the breeze The float which took the sweepstakes prize was decorated by the navy yard employees.
 It was a splendid, great big float, with a four-porader in each corner. looking grimly out over banks of feathery asparagus plumosa, and in the center was a six-pounder. The guns were guarded by a full com pIement of marines in white, standing in perfect grove of American beauty roses. The whole float was banked with the roses standing five feet tall. and around the guns on mounds they stood a perfect forest. It was mag

The first step toward organization of the movement was had yesterday when meeting was held at the Y. NJ. c Al and from this time on the prohibition believers will wage warfare upon their adveTsaries.
