while intellectual, it was not hand

nose too like a toe, while my brow
needed building up and my chin
pushing forward. My eye, while not
beautiful, had character, and I de-
cided not to alter that, but the other
features needed manipulation.
I began with my nose. When I
went to bed I lay on my back with
fiat-iron bound to my nose. It was
painful at first, but I soon got used
to 1t, and day by day my nose chang
ed its shape until at last it was per-
feet. I next tried sleeping standing
up in specially prepared bed, with
heavy weights hung to my chin. This
had tendency to bring my chin for
ward. Luckily was out Of a Job, so
was able to do my sleeping in the

tering into the public prints about
This matter. but 1t is a well known
fact that the T. +. A. as an organi-

ords as State secretary Of the South
Carolina division, II. z. A. of A., do
not show that any candidate has been
Endorsed for any position.
Mr.. Mahon doubtless lays his claim
of support from the T. +. A. to the
fact that great many Of those in
attendance upon the annual conven-
ton Of the Il. Il. A. in Greenville dur
ing May /. talked favorably of his
candidacy and some doubtless told
him they would vote for him; how

WIDER. BROKEN, ARRESTED.
Taken by Officers Near Bank He Had
Robbed.

New York, July 29.-A frail little
man with grey hair and hollow eyes
In whose manner and presence there
was nothing to suggest that. single
handed he had cody lifted $50, 900 In
bonds and stocks from the strong box
OF bank, was arersted today In a
downtown restaurant, not five min
utes' walk from the bank he had
robbed. He was Erwin Wider, the
missing cashier Of the Russo Chinese
Bank. In the Court of General ses-
sions, his lawyer, Leon Ginsberg, said
that he would plead guilty and he
was committed to the Tombs in de-
fault of $4,000 bail.
Ginsberg pleaded vainly with
Judge Warren Foster for a lower
amount, saying none of this money
is In my clients possession. 1t was
all swallowed up in Wall street spec
ulation."
ALMOST as Wider was arrested, the
grandCury handed up an indictment
against him, charging specifically
that he stole three certificates, one of
nifty shares, and two others Of twen-
ty-five shares each, of Baltimore and
Ohio stock. and that he disposed Of
them through the brokerage house of
Dick Brothers, on May 20. last. This
indicates that the theft had been go
ing on for weeks and possibly for
months before 1t was discovered.
How such a state Of affairs could
have existed is difficult to understand,
for at least three other officers OF the
bank had access to the safety deposit
box. In which the banks securities
were kept, and the box itself was
brought daily to the officers of the
bank. where 1t was kept during bust.
ness hours, in the banks safe. Brok-
ers with whom Wider traded have
said that he called up from the bank
to give them orders over the tele-
phone.
The arrest today was due to the
persistence with which detectives
trailed Wider's wife. She was in
consultation last night with Mrs.
Ginsberg. whose husband, besides be-
ing Wider's lawyer, was also his
neighbor.
And then she was traced today to
the restaurant. where her own hus-
band was arrested. Wider himself
was pitifully broken. His lawyer said
he was a sick man and he looked It.
AS he was led into the Tombs he COL
lapsed.
Ginsberg's statement today that all
the sum stolen had been eaten up in
speculation would seem to indicate
that the bank will never recover a
dollar. 1t has been said heretofore
that suits will be filed against the
brokers with whom Wider dealt, but
no such suits have yet been institut-
ed.
Wider will be arraigned for plead
ing next Monday.

from the venom of his communication which
shows IL certain weakness in his defence.
IT is no business of the community what
expenses are attached to the butchery bust
ness, all they van is to have their meat at
reasonable prices, say at the prices they
were reduced to sometime ago. What gave
rise for the increase of price to what it ORR

did not leave a profit or was it because they
had to pay higher prices for the Stock ?

London, Feb. 2Gth-The United Irish
League has resolved not to support Mr..
Bonn in the bye election ut Tower Halnlets
upon his appointment as a Junior lord OF
the treasury, because there are no guaruu-
tees from the Grown regarding the enact
ment Of veto reform before the budget.
Ministers are gloomy, and another crisis
is expected on Monday, when Mr.. Asqaitn
viii state the Governments intentions re
garding the L0rIs. Sir James Da.zIel will
move that the House Of Commons should
limit the Cabinets action to the abolition OF
the veto and d~isnpprovo reform proposals
and only the support Of the UniouIsts could
save the Ministry.
In the House Of COMMONS yesterday the
address III reply to the kln8'5 speech was
adopted without n division. In Cabinet
sat twice.
A committee of Radicals have reported
that Dir. Asquith promised to bring their
views before the Ministry. 1t is reported
that he has practically surrendered, an will
introduce the veto and budget together and
the vote on the veto will be forced first, the
Lords will reject it and then Mr.. Asquith
will demand that the Crown appoint Peers
enough to assure its passage, otherwise the
Government will resign without passing the
budget or even the royal salary list.
The Daily Telegraph SAYS the Govern
ment have abandoned roform Of the L rds
except the mere abolition of the veto by II
bill in the first instance, abandoning the
adoption of q resolution previously. This
will not satisfy the Redmondites, because It
is still the intention to proceed with tie
budget first.
The Daily Chronicle says the Government
will amend the veto by resolution, leaving
further reform for future consideration.

We were much pleased with what we saw
ut Mr.. Ash's school during the examination
last week. The schoOl-room is in o pleasant
and healthy situation in the higher part
OF the town. At present there are about 30
pupils, many of whom are young, but the
elder children, who formed q good first class,
showed that they had been wen taught.
In his remarks at the close Mr.. Ash said
that his school was not meant to interfere
with anyone else, but he believed that it filled
q want III the town,and we were glad to hear
the Schoo! Director in his appreci-
atory remarks, expressing his con
currence III this view. Mr.. Ash has had a
good deal of experience as teacher, and
many OF our boys who are now making their
way in the world are mainly indebted to
him for what they gained at school.
The weather Of the month Just closed has
been marked by high wind from about
east-northeast, what sailors call % "thirty
mile trade This is q feature characteristic
OF the season, but has been more marked
this year than usual, by persistence perhaps
rather than by strength, for we do not for
get that it has not been uncommon III the
hrst three months OF the year to have such
high winds from the northeast that the
schOOners and other vessels have been uu-
able for 81 week at q time to leave our har-
bour. One Of the chief causes of the pre-
sent conditions here has probably been the
severe cold over the great North American
plains and tnbIe lands, This we know of,
but it is likely that an equal share in the
motive force is to be found in the heated
llanos aud silvas of the Southern Continent,
about which we hear nothing.
For robust and vigorous people it has
been a aue time. bringing us a hint OF the
bracing air Of the North, but for people
liable to colds and coughs it has brought a
rather trying experience, from which they
Will be glad to escape.
The rainfall of the month, as usual for
February, has been sca2t. IN Christiansted
rain fell on 9 days, to q total amount of 81
lines. In Frederiksted on ii days, total amount
9 lines. Weare glad to hear, however, that
parts OF the country have Jared better. The 81
years average was las l~ines,so that the month
just closed is, 50 far as the towns are con-
cerned, below the average.
The weather has, however, been very IN
yourable to reaping operations, now in full
swing, and the promise of the field is backed
up by the good news from the great sugar
markets Of the world, so that the outlook for
the present year is so far decidedly encour-
aging.
