SHADOW Of THE
CROSS
SPOKANE MINISTER'S REFER TO
MYSTERIOUS PAINTING SEEN AT
FOR CHELAN.

Spokane, Nov. 25.-Preachers of
various denominations in Spokane
object to the mysterious picture, In
the Shadow of the Cross" displayed
here for charitable purposes. The
painting which was the cause of so
much wonder at the AlaskaY ukon-
Pacific exposition, was on exhibition
at the National Apple show.
Ministers took occasion at that time
to examine it, and while none of them
profess to understand it, many have
pronounced it a fake.
Il do not think the pamphlet cir
culated about the painting is in &C
cord with the facts" says DR.. Hind
ley, "and / think it should not be
shown with any such explanation.
"A fake!" says Dr. Rasmus, of the
First Methodist Episcopal church.
The trick should be exposed
Il do not take any stock in the
story about the picture" says Rev
E. NJ. Hill.
All the trouble arose over a circu-
lar sent out by the Spokane Floral
association asking the ministers tC
announce that the picture would be
exhibited under the auspices of that
organization. Now the ministers
have their hammers out. But, in con.
sequence, the picture gets much pub
licity.

ENTERTAINED FOR TROUBLE
AS RESULT OF HIGH WATER.

The mud slides on the Great Nor

tunnel and Scenic, which have de-
layed all traffic since early Monday
morning, have been cleared, and dur

pretty nearly on scheduled time
One of the messengers which went
through on an early morning train
stated that the Snohomish river was
way over its banks near Everett, and
that great fears were entertained for
disastrous floods

Everett, Nov 25.-The increase of
n feet of water in the Snohomish
river during the night was greatly
augmented late this afternoon at
high tide when the waters of the
Sound backed up against the strong
current of the stream. During the
night and today. the situation was
acute on the low lands where seven
or eight families were sending alarm
ing messages to the mainland for
help. as the water had risen about
them to a considerable extent. send
ing them to the second stories of

work of rescue. On Eby island the
ranchers have placed their horses

ceived here from Monroe state that
two men were drowned there yes

river and was swept down stream a
mile and half before rescued.

Natural Ventilation.

In cold weather the escape of air
from closed, wayn rooms through the
porosity of walls and the leakage
around doors and windows is much
greater than is usually supposed. In
some experiments by Arthur d. Lit
tie of Boston, room of 615 cubic feet
was in the second story of an ordinary
clapboarded frame dwelling and the
interior walls and ceilings were plas-
tered and papered, the single window
made. as tight as possibly b, putty,
and the inner door was fitted with
weather strips. Even in this room,
natural causes made almost two COM
plete changes of air an hour, as shown
by tests of the carbolic acid 1t would
be interesting to know how the rate
changes with the differences between
outside and inside temperature, and
what difference gives an ordinary
tight" family living room safe ven

Waterloo will be SO marked that it
will enable the managers to pay
higher salaries without feeling an in
Gre se. They claim a better grade of
players can be secured and the quality
o. the game increased. This the man
ayers of the various teams are not
inclined to admit In fact there Is
hardly any of them who are in favor
q an increase In the limit. The truth
is the managers find the present limit
about right for this league, and they

bounds the Central Association has
been giving its patrons as good base
ball as that furnished by the Three.

OF salaries will not insure better

pr obable that the managers will take

Another Napoleon Relic.

An interesting addition has been
made to the contents of the Army mus
scum in Paris in the shape of the red
and white ensign, ornamented with
gold beetles, which Napoleon gave to
the troops in the island of E,lba dur
ing his sojourn there. A French con-
temporary informs us that the flag
came into the possession of Col Camp
bell. whom the allies set to keep
watch over the emperor, when he
made his sudden departure from the
island, and has remained in the fam
lily ever since. The gift is one which
the French nation will no doubt be
glad to have in its possession.

ADJUSTMENTS

Undoubtedly, one Of the strongest
plays Of the season, in point of inter-
nation interest, Is that of Samson"
by Henri Bernstein, the author of THE
Thief" which is being presented this
season by that distinguished actor,
James X. Hackett, who will be at the
Grand, tomorrow evening, under the
direction of Mr.. Charles Frohman
There have been many glowing re-
ports from Paris from time to time
about Samson" and the critics there
seem to agree that 1t Is superior in
dramatic invention and construction to
even "The Thief" the play in which
Bernstein's genius was first revealed
to the world. The plot of the play tells
of Jacque Brachard, who brought up
in poverty and risen to wealth, has it
forced upon him that money will not
buy his wife's love. Mr.. Bernstein's
theme is manifestly suggestive in a
large degree of Wall street at it's bust
ness and its worst. The play is credit
ed with possessing the one thing es-
sential above all others for popularity
viz. big, throbbing, melodramatic
scene. 1t is probable that neither
Mr.. CHARTS Frohman, the man
ager or, Mr. Hackett the actor, nor
Mr.. Bernstein, the author may not adj
NIT that the play contain such melo-
dramatic moment Nevertheless, such
is the case. as related by those who
have seen it. The play is said to be
an unsparing Indictment of the mental
and moral degeneration of a certain
stripe of fashionables that in Paris ii
created a sensation to the point OF
arousing actual protest. The trend OF
the play is money-money that buys
ease, power and luxury The play Will
undoubtedly, duplicate its great sue
cess in gay Paris, In fact it has almos
done so now in this country. where il
1 is but comparatively unknown, being
produced in only three of the Ameri
can cities last season. The title role
! in the French production was in th,
hands of that distinguished acto

the best known impersonators on Thu

BIRDS WE'RE PLENTIFUL

Years.

At IL o'clock Wednesday night OF
this week the curtain falls upon the
quail season and many nimrods in
this vicinity will put away their
trusty shooting irons after season of
activity and excellent sport. The
season has been month and a half
in length and during this period it is
estimated that thousands Of birds are

"The season has been one of the
best for a number of years." said a
sporting expert this morning. "Quails

CONSTIUTIONALITY
OF AN IOWA LAW
Attorneys Will Endeavor. to Show
Flaw in Criminal Code Of the
State of Iowa.

Assistant Attorney General Charles
Lyons and Attorney John Mulvaney of
les Moines, have gone to Washington,
where they will appear before the
supreme court of the United States
in the case Of Charley Thomas, who
is serving a term in the Fort Madison
penitentiary for the murder of Mabel
Sohofield.
The case is before the supreme
court on writ of error from the
Iowa supreme court. This is the Sec
ont, time the case has been to the
high tribunal, it having been dismiss
ed when it was taken up before be-
cau-e of insufficient records. This is
practically a new hearing of the case.
Before the supreme court, Attorney
John Mulvaney will attack the consti-
nationality of the Iowa law which, as
1t is generally applied, prevents jury
from considering anything but muir
der in the first degree and acquittal
in cases of poisoning, whereas in cases
of murder by shooting or stabbing a
jury may consider first and second de-
gree murder and manslaughter. This
rule was applied in the Thomas trial
and because of it his attorneys are
cIaiming he was deprived of due pro-
cess of law and equal protection.
Assistant Attorney General Lyon
will contend that this question was
not raised with sufficient distinctness
when the case was tried out in the
lower courts and it cannot therefore
be passed upon by the supreme court

The gallop of the dog differs from
that of the horse in that the sequence
of foot fallings is rotary instead Of
diagonal. The, order is the left fore.
the right fore, the right hind, the left
