EAGLE AND COYOTE BATTLE
Death Comes to Both After Terrific
Encounter in Spokane County,
Washington.

Spokane, Wash.-Marsh Hill, near
Fairfield, Spokane county, was the
scene Of a terrific encounter between
a golden eagle and a coyote, the lat
ter emerging minus an ear. The big
bird and the coyote were captured in
traps set close together by Ned Nor
rison, son of Col e. H. Morrison.
The eagle was heavily handicapped
by the trap which held its left claw,
but stood its ground well by using
the right spur and beak. It died
shortly after being released from the
trap and will be mounted. The coyote
was the largest ever seer in eastern
Washington. The scratching on the
frozen ground and the wounds on it's
hind legs indicate that the animal at
tempted to get away from its tor,
mentor, but the trap held it firm.
Young Morrison, who witnessed the
last part Of the fight, says it was a
lively skirmish, the Battle continued
q half hour after he reached the
scene when he dispatched the coyote
with a stick of cord wood. The pres,
enc of the coyote SO near settlement
is said to be due to the heavy snow
in the mountains. !,

FAIR PICTURES NOW BY WIRE
Photographs of All Kinds Can H> Te!e
grarhed for Publication with
Success.

London.-The t~elegraphing of pic
lures from London to New York is a
problem at present engaging the at
tention OF scientists.
In a lecture given before the Royal
Society of Arts, Thorne Baker said
Prof. Korn was likely to find a practi-
cal solution of the problem of sending
photographs by ordinary cable across
the Atlantic while he, himself, was
endeavoring to perfect a wireless sys-
tenn for the same purpose, which al
ready had given promising results.
A series Of photographs was shown
illustrating the progress that has been
made since the first instruments of
Prof. Korn were installed in Noyem-
der, 1907.
The Korn telautograph and the
Thorne Baker t~electrograph enable
photographs of all kinds to be tele-
graphed for publication with a fair
measure of success. The improve
,ment in the processes of transmits
;sion within this relatively brief Pc
riod are striking.

SAFETY LAMP IS DANGEROUS
Many Diseases Of the, Eye Result from
Its Use-EngIish Miners Prefer
Naked Light.

Observation-Disclosures miners de-
mand and receive increased pay for
using safety lamps when at work In
the coal mines of England. Consul
Frank W. Mahin, reporting on the
loss of life in British coal mines, re-
ports to the state department that
naked lights are one Of the causes
of the fatalities. as well as of many
injuries, in coal mines,l which might
well be avoided by the, use Of safety
lamps. But the safety lamp is not in
general use in English mines, be-
cause the miners object to them.
They prefer the naked lights. and in
many mines in England the mine
owners actually pay, their miners from
two to four cents per ton extra If
they will consent TO- use the safety
lamp. The miners claim that the
safety lamp gives poor light, ia very
injurious to the eyesight and in
creases nystagmus, a disease OF the
eyes common to miners. It Is con-
ceded by the mineowners and the
government authorities that this dis.
ease has shown a rapid increase ,wher-
ever the safety lamp has been intro
duced. Indeed, In the Nottingham
shire mines. many of the miners are
nearly blind, although quite i young,
and their afliction Is charged to the
use Of the safety lamp. For this rea-
son the miner prefers the naked light.
even though 1t greatly increases the
danger of his work. Moreover. the
miners claim that it is entirely safe
to use the naked light II; only the
mineowners will ventilate their mines
properly. Experiments are now be,
ing conducted with an electric safety
lamp, which 1t is believed will obviate
the objections Of the lamp now in use.

MAKES FIGHTER CRY "NuF"
Assistant Secretary Winthrop Of Navy
Department Scores In Fresh
Air Contest.

Washington.-There is no doubt
about the navy department having at
its head to-day civilians who command
for their physical prowess the utmost
respect of the officers in the service.
Assistant Secretary Winthrop demon
strated that during the recent cold
snap.
If there is anything Mr.. Winthrop
likes more than anything else it is
fresh air. He belonged to the Roose-
welt Fresh Air club. In fact he was a
charter member. All winter the hoisted
windows to his office have allowed the
cold breezes fairly to freeze the fea-
lures in the paintings of assistant Sec
retaries of the navy who have pre-
coded him.
One day recently, when the mercury
was hugging the zero mark, a friend
called on Mr.. Winthrop and found all
the windows closed.
"Ah, l thought you would get enough
fresh air some time," said the visitor
tauntingly.
admiral - was just in and had
to pull down the windows" explained
MI. Winthrop, and as he let the
breezes in once more the visitor but.
toned up his overcoat.

NAPoLE0A's HAIR ON SALE
Unique Collection of Personal Be-
longings Of Historic Persons
Left by Philadelphia.

Philadelphia.-Much to the surprise
of Philadelphians VINO believed that
the greater portion of the late DR..
Thomas w. Evans great collection Of
curios was in Paris, 1t has been
learned that it is in a local safe de-
post vault, and, further. that tx
bulk will be sold in the near future
at public auction to provide the bal
ance OF the funds coming to the city
of Philadelphia to build the Evans
Museum and Dental institute at For
tieth and Spruce streets.
After ten years of litigation the "a
NOUS will case was settled in New
York. and there has been muchsspec
ulation as to how the real estate. and
collection of curios would be dis,
posed of.
Early next month the trustees of
the estate, all of whom are Philadel-
phians, will meet and decide exactly
how the terms Of DR.. Evans will shall
be carried out. There are many prob
lens to face, and it is thought that
it will be some time before work can
actually be started on the museum.
A hasty inventory of the personal
effects which has been made covers
40. typewriter sheets and contains
lists of valuables, relics and letters,
gifts from kings, queens, emperors,
generals and other notable figures of
the world in his time.
!, OF all the curios In the collection,
perhaps the most interesting is a gold
box, containing a lock of hair
clipped from the head of Napoleon l.,
and presented to the dentist by Ma
poleon III. The box also contains
other mementoes Of the first Napoleon,
such as buttons from his uniforms,
rings worn at various times by him,
buckles from his shoes and cockades
worm in his hats.

Trade Bull for Turkev.

Easton, Md.-The young bull which

The beast later destroyed other prop,

the dealer shot him several times. and
then a butcher was called, who, with
ropes and several men, got him I'd

Up and Down Gazing WIstfulIy

Observation-Disclosures, the polar bear
at the Zoo, is miserable for her babies
1T is known that she had a son
and a daughter-are both dead.
The male baby, the one Barbara
brought out and carried up and down
on her arm, survived his tiny sister
ten days. The keepers who thought
they heard two voices were, there.
fore right.
When a visitor went to call upon
Barbara she was pacing up and down
in front of her pond and the gate into
her now empty nursery was locked
against her and secured with a strong
iron chain.
Every time she reached the gate
she stared wistfully into the dark in
terror and tried to push her way in.
At each failure she went on with
her restless walk again-the saddest
animal in the world.
People who did not know what was
grieving her came, attracted by her
agitation, and stared and laughed at
her In amused surprise. They had not
seen q polar bear act like that before.
She went in a half-hearted way into
the water for the first time since her
babies were born. 1t was as If the poor
beast knew now that she need not
trouble to keep herself dry and warm
on account of a tiny baby she used to
caress.
But she Don tired of the water and
climbed out to make again the same
pathetic efforts to get to the place
where she last saw her little one.
When the keepers noticed that the
baby was no longer crying Barbara
was locked out, and they went in and
found the two little bodies, which
they at once took to the mortuary.
When Barbara is allowed back into
the nursery Sam, her husband, will re-
turn to her. It is hoped that when he
does her sorrow will moderate.
Why the little bears died is not
certain, but it is thought that the con-
ditions of captivity in a comparatively
warm climate were too much for the
arctic mother.
She ought to have made herself
snug in a cave in the snow or ice and
have stayed there without food for
several weeks.
Instead of that, she came out and
fed, an unnatural thing for her to do,
though as she was moving about it
was necessary to give her food.

Every farmer should carry at

obtain the necessities of life or

But this is not all the benefits
of life insurance. It will not

FAIR BUSINESS IN
 DRY GOODS MARKET

New York, February e.-Hesitation in buying cotton goods decreased as the week drew to close, and while trade is not yet active, there Is a very fair busi- ness being done. Jobbers have not gone behind the selling of 1908, and the slight weakness shown in the primary market has not been reflected in jobbing prices, which from the start of the season were below a parity of 15c cotton.
 There has been a very good trade done in the leading lines of fall cottons. Dur ing the past week advances of 4c yard were made on mottled fannels and of 5 per cent on nashua cotton blankets and twilled nannels.
 In mapped cottons for fall delivery the business booked has been in excess of that of last year. Drills and sheetings continue quiet Print cloths sold to the extent of 60,000 pieces for the week at Fall River. The mills have reached q point where they will sell nothing but spots or nearby goods unless buyers will pay near CT to a basis of actual cotton.
 Fall ginghams have sold well and the Lancaster line has been sold up and with drawn. Staple prints are in quiet re- quest at shortened discounts. Bleached goods have been selling little better and agents expect that present values will hold for the season. MiAs are dis posed to curtail in preference to building up stocks from high cottons.
 Export trade is quiet, the best business being done with Manila

 It was really very provoking that H. Payne Whitney should be called for petit jury duty just at the time when his polo ponies were needing his attention. The powers that exist down minoola way in Long Islands fashion colony drew MT. Whitney's name from the box of residents for jury duty this month. MT.

Whitney will be among those who will decide them. For the time being sfhe polo ponies are deserted.
 Mrs. Charles Boynton of California, who frequently lectures New Yorks club wo- men, thinks that our fashions are breed ing bad health.
 Women are luxury, mad" said Mrs. Boynton. "The art of dress is a degraded art. Instead of women dressing in tight fitting garments to show every line of their bodies, they ought to wear loose, roomy garments
 Mrs. Boynton has the strength of her convictions too, for when I saw her she was comfortably dressed in a How ing costume and looked much more at her ease than some of the women listeners who were garbed in glove-like garments and immense picture hats.
 I have heard the rumor more than once that Mrs. Margaret Gould, the di- vorced wife of Frank Gould. will marry Ralph Thomas. At first I placed no credence in it. but constant reiteration seems to foretell something. According to the most persistent report they will be married quietly and win then spend a year cruising on Mir. Thomas private yacht in the southern seas.
 Mrs. Gould has consistently refused to admit this report, but she took occasion while talking to reporters to deny that her former husband secretly married "a Miss Kelly in England.
 I never thought that Philadelphias so- cial set could exalt themselves to phy- sical prowess in behalf of girl strikers, but, contrary to my opinion this has hap pened. Of course there was no truth in the report that Miss Helen Taft. daugli- ter of the President, would take an active part in aiding the striking working girls in Philadelphia. That story was very silly But among some of the fashiona- bles picket duty has become au fait.

VICTORIA CROSS MEN
Only Three in Active Service In the
 British Navy.

London, February 6.-(Special. )-There are only three Victoria Cross men. com misisoned or on the lower deck, on active service in the British navy at present. One of them is Admiral Sir Arthur Kny- vet Wilson, who has just succeeded Lord Fisher.
 How the gallant admiral won the coy- eted decoration makes thrilling read ing. At the battle of Fl Feb, in the Sou dan, in 1884, the corner of the square where Wilson was in command of the Naval Hrigades Gardner, his gun was broken.
 Sword in hand, Wilson fought single handed and stemmed the ugly rush. Then his blade broke whereupon he fought with his fists, the sword hilt making a most formidable knuckle-duster which sent many dervish to the ground.
 Wilson's splendid stand enabled a de- tachment of the York and Lancaster to rush into the breach with the bayonet and so save tine situation.
