The modern world holds Demosthenes.
whose birthday occurred on December 9.
30 h C. in the same fame in which he
was held by the ancients, namely, as that
OF the orator in whom artistic genius
was united with moral enthusiasm and in
tellectuaI grasp more perfectly than IN
any other man.
Demosthenes appeared at a period when
his commanding powers found fruitful
theme in the approaching degeneraey OF
Athens.
The great Athenian statesman and ora
tor became the ablest champion OF Greek
freedom against Philip OF Macedon, its
craftiest enemy. but he told the Athen-
fans that II was the decay OF public spirit
within themselves that made il possible
for the Macedonian despot 10 seek 10
overthrow Greek independence. If, said
he. the Macedonian had not existed the
Athenlans would have made another
Philip for themselves.
Demosthenes received from his father
who died when the boy was seven years
old a large inheritance, but this was
sauandered by his guardians, although ne
obtained an education suitable 10 MS
rank and fortune. His first appearance
as an orator was in prosecuting the un-
worthy men whom his father had trusted
with his estate.
He afterward engaged in public mat
ters and attracted some attention but
l,is genius and elOquence were brought
into fuller play by the relations between
the states of Greece and King Philip Of
Maeedon. who aimed at the conquest of
the Hellenic world as a preliminary step
10 the subiugation of Asia.
Demosthenes was one Of the first TO
see through the designs of Philip. which
were aided by the decline OF public spirit
in Athens. Among the most brilliant
specimens of mis- eloquence are the Philip
pies, so called because they are aimed
against the policy of Philip. He employ
ed his extraordinary powers 10 urge the
union of the Greeian states against the
devouring danger that threatened. but

IDAHO TOWNS ARE ENGULFED
More Than Thirty Persons Killed in I
Series of SnowsIides.

More Than Thirty Persons Killed in :
Series of SnowsIides.
Spokane, Wash, March 2-Working
desperately and almost exhausted hun
dreds of miners are trying to dig from
packed ice, snow and wreckage the
dead and injured thought to be buried
in the six Northern Idaho avalanches,
which have caused death and destruc-
ton in the last two days.
The death list has reached thirty
one and it is believed more dead will
be found in the splintered cabins
which housed the families of the min
ers.
At Mace, where the first avalanche
struck, eleven are known to be dead
and eight are badly injured. Sweep
ing down the mountainside the great
mass of snow and earth crushed the
cabins and small houses like egg
shells, burying the occupants in a
mass of logs, snow and earth.
Not until the sun strikes the noun
tain of snow and wears the huge mass
away will the list of known dead be
complete.
At Burke, where the second slide
occurred a few hours after the one at
Mace, five people are known to be
dead and two badly injured. So cha
otto is the condition in the small min
ing town, however, that the list is be-
lieved not to be complete. The sad
dest incident at this place is the
death of the whole family of Albert
Newman. He, with his wife and two
children, without a seconds warning,
were buried in the avalanche.
At Carbonate Hill, where the third
slide occurred, two persons are dead
and half a dozen injured. 1t is not
known how many more are dead be-
meath the wreckage.

More Than a Score Of Lives
Lost in Disaster in the
Cascade Mountains.
PASSENGERS ARE THE VICTIMS
Most Of Killed, Injured and Miss
ing We're Asleep on Great
Northern Stalled Trains.

Seattle, Wash, March 2.-Sweeping
down the step mountainside on the
west slope of the Cascade an av.
alanche of snow overwhelmed two
Great Northern trains, three locomo-
tives, four huge electric motor en-.
gines, and brought death to more than
a score of persons, according to mea-
ger reports that have drifted in from
Wellington, station near the scene
of the disaster.
Most of the dead are believed to
have been passengers on the west
bound Great Northern express bound
from Spokane to Seattle, which has
been stalled in the mountains since
last Thursday. They were asleep
when the slide came.
The other train was the Transcon-
tinental Fast Mail, which carried no
passengers. Twenty bodies have been
recovered, fifteen or twenty are in
jured, and twenty-five are missing
The two trains were in charge of Con-
ductors Parzybook and Petit, both of
Everett. The fate of the train crews
is not known.
The private car of Superintendent
O'Neill of the Western division of the
Great Northern was attached to the
express and buried with the rest Of
the train.
The avalanche swept down the
mountainside shortly after 4 o'clock
in the morning. 1t was half a mile
long. Most of the passengers on the
train were asleep and received no
warning of the danger. The trains
and locomotives were buried by the
debris and it was six hours after the
avalanche before the rescue parties,
made up from workers sent to attack
the snowdrifts, located them.

that eggs may be colored any tint we
desire simply by placing dye in the
food which we give the hen. For in
stance, if we want a purple egg we
give the hen some purple dye in the

day or two later when she lays an egg

Indictments Returned by Grand
Jury at Jersey City.

New York, Feb. 26.-The beef
trust" of the United States, embracing
six great packing companies and TWEEN
ty-one packers, was indicted by a
grand jury in Hudson county, New
Jersey, charged with conspiracy in
limiting the supply of meat and poul-
try.
The Indictment is drawn under the
law of New Jersey, which provides
upon conviction a maximum penalty
of three years in the penitentiary or
$1,000 fine, or both. The offense is
extraditable, which practically means
that the meat barons of this country
must either successfully resist extra
dition or come to Jersey City for trial.
Pierre Garven, the public prosecutor
of Hudson county, announced that he
would forthwith notify the defend
ants of their Indictment and would be
ready to force eXtradition in each case
where the individual concerned is not
willing to face trial voluntarily. The
defendants as named are as follows:
Corporations-The National Pack
ing company, Armour & Co., Swift &
Co., Morris & Co., Hammond Packing
company, G. H. Hammond company.
Individuals-J. Ogden Armour, A.

SYMPATHETIC STRIKE LIKELY
One Hundred Thousand Union Men
May Quit Their Jobs.

Philadelphia, Feb. 28.-Action
fraught with possible momentous con-
sequences to Philadelphia was taken
by the Central Labor union when that
body, representing 140 unions with a
membership said to be $4,000, voted
to begin a sympathetic strike next
Saturday in aid of the street railway
employees now on strike.
This action came at the end of a
secret session of about 700 delegates
in Labor Lyceum hall, which lasted
more than six hours. There was ap-
parently no question but that dele.
gates would vote to strike, the split
being on the question of whether it
would be started Immediately. The
more conservative element prevailed,
however, and the walkout was put off
until next Saturday. Meanwhile there
is hope that the street railway strike
will be arbitrated despite the repeat
ed declarations of the transit company
that there is nothing to arbitrate.

Coffee Drinking Denounced.

AS early as 1868 coffee was satirized
in England, and on every hand the bit
terest invectives were applied to it by
the press and pulpit. In one instance
a preacher hurled anathemas at the
heads of those who used as a beverage
''a strip of SCOT and essence of old
shoes!' Probably he had good grounds
for this statement. having sampled
some boiled coffee. Another divine de-
nominated it "a poison which God
made black that it might bear the
devils color!" The women also took
up the cudgels against it.-London

SPINNING an Eco.

One of Lord KeIvin's favorite expert
ments while teaching natural philoso-
ply at the University of Glasgow was
to spin an egg which was suspended
in the air. If the egg were hard boiled
it would spin a long time; otherwise,
owing to the friction between it's con-
tents and it's shell. it's motion would
soon cease. Lord Kelvin inferred from
this that the interior of the earth can
not be a fluid or the globes rate of ro-
tation would have been checked long
ago. Once the students substituted
raw eggs for the hard boiled ones pro-
vided for the experiment. Not one
would spin properly, but Lord Kelvin
was not to be fooled. None of them
boiled" was his only comment.
