 Sncvcley's motives are purely mali cious, as he lost a homestead ease through a ruling of Wickersham when the latter was federal judge in Alaska in 1905.
 Sncvcley's charges will have no weight with congress and Wicker sham is certain to be seated.

BULLS" FROM THE BENCH.

Some excellent bulls are credited
to William Arolin, who was Lon
don police judge in the '3Os of the
last century. He once remarked to
counsel: eff you can show precisely
at what moment the offense was
committed and prove that the pris-
oner was not there when he did it he
could not possibly have done it."
And he sagely added: owe cannot
divest ourselves of common sense in
a court Of justice" Of a similar
character was an axiom he once de-
livered himself of, which has been
maliciously fathered on many other
occupants of the bench: eff ever
there was a case of clearer evidence
than this case, this case is that case"

WoMEN's FEET GROWING!

Prof. Gieler of Munich, after ex-
tensive study in Europe and Amer
lea, has come to the conclusion that
women's feet are rapidly growing
larger. The time may come, he
says, when in the matter of feet
there will be little difference between
the two sexes. He has made careful
measurements of the proportions of
feet on ancient statues, and has COM
pared these measurements with the
feet of modern women, always to the
advantage of the latter. He at
tributes the change to the growing
taste for walking, athletics and other
outdoor exercises. Frenchwomen's
feet are increasing in size at a rapid
rate.

WISE USE OF GREAT WEALTH
Rich Man Who Expends Money with
Thoughts of Others Is to Be
Commended.

Bunyan has telling picture of q
man who rakes together the sticks
and stones and rubbish, not once
looking up to behold the golden
crown above his head, proffered by
the hand of an angel. He is type
of the man who devotes his life to
the accumulation of material things,
unmindful of the fact that he must
one day Slough the dross of earth, )"
and that there is, beyond the grave,
no usufruct of his worldly estate.
The man of means who spends
his money with discrimination upon
works of art is to be commended as
unreservedly as the wealthy voluptu-
airy is to be commiserated. He re-
members that ''the best thing any
mortal hath are those that every
mortal shares" He does not merely
hoard his accumulated treasures Of
art, but, as far as practicable, he al
lows those who really care about
such things as he has to see them.
The community has no more altru-
istic benefactor than the man who
gives to the public for their perpet-
ual enjoyment and inspiration such
a collection of pictures as that which
Charles L. Freer has recently given
the nation, to be housed in a build
ing specially erected at Washington.

POOR PROSPECTS
 FOR THIRD GAME.
Rain Expected Today at Detroit-
 Choice of Pitchers Uncertain.

Detroit. Oct 10.-The chances of playing the third game of the worlds championship series between Pittsburg and Detroit here tomorrow are eX- tremely dubious because of a heavy rain which began shortly after noon today and continued without intermis- sion for hours. According to the local forecaster the rain will continue stead fly all night and possibly all day to- morrow. The rain may be steady to- morrow or may come in showers and there will be brisk winds to accom- pany it.
 While the infeld at Bennett park is protected by an immense tarpaulin and game may be possible if the rain stops tomorrow morning, there is little likelihood of it's being played This will put the Detroit games over until Tuesday and Wednesday and will delay the next game at PittsDurg un- til Thursday. As the rain is said to be general over the country. there is also chance that the stay in Detroit may be prolonged beyond even We'd nesday Both teams are now at De- troit.
 The decisive defeat of Pittsburg on Saturday has caused a marked rise in Detroit's hopes. If there is game tomorrow the Detroit choice of pitch CTS will probably lay between Mullin anu ouHllneTS. IT IL Is dark QaN Jennings will likely use Mullin because of the veterans great speed which will be doubly effective in the poor light. Summers may be given a chance if the conditions are more favorable as he warmed up in excellent shape be- fore Saturdays game, when Jennings chose Donovan.
 Manager Clarke refused to make any prediction as to his selection of a twirler for tomorrow. but he intimated that his choice would probably lay be- tween Adams and Maddox. The young ster from the American association worked so well in the opening battle that there is a good chance he may be sent back. Great interest would be added to the game if the two pitchers who did such excellent work in the opening game were sent in.
 The return of the two teams each with victory to its credit has aroused the interest here to fever heat Pre- dictions are being made freely that the crowd at the first game here will beat all records for world series in this city.
