INVESTIGATE

Electrical Wiring is a trade by
itself. If you build a house you
seek the best mechanic in that
class. If you are seriously hurt
you hunt up the best surgeon.
If your family needs a doctor,
you get the best. Electrical
wiring is a serious and danger
GUS thing, if it is not properly
done. Ask your insurance agent,
who takes the risk on insuring
your property. A good electri-
clan can do your work just as
cheap or even cheaper than the
/ fellow that knows but very little
about it. That's our business,
Electrical Wiring and Electrical
Work. That's all we do, all we
think about. We have the goods;
we have the best workmen; we
have expert men. If you are
not sure of what you need, we
can figure it out for you. We
are the only strictly Electrical
business in your city. Do you
not think you should bring your
plans in and see us. We can help
you and give new ideas.
INVESTIGATE
Don't mix up your wiring with
other work. Bring us your plans
and try one Of our guaranteed
contracts and learn the differ
ence. There's a reason why.

HE REMAINED CONSCIOUS

New York, May 3O.-Louis Staff, a
young giant. in search of a job as rig
ger in a caisson of the municipal
building. fifty feet under Chambers
street, is dying in St. Gregory's hospi
tai today. after having fallen into &

o'clock this morning.
For fifteen minutes he swan in the
water which was so hot that it tortur
ed the flesh, and he only saved him
self from drowning by hanging ON te
steam pipes that blistered the flesl
from his hands.
Statt's yells finally brought a gans
of sand hogs" to his rescue, and they
dragged him out. In St. Gregorys the
doctors found that his eyes were des

In spite of the most intense suffer

and the doctors said that only his grea
vitality saved him from instant death

sisters. Even in Germany. the land of

changing and the flaxen poll is giving

that the blonds are losing out in the
struggle for existence and are filling
our jails and almshouses. He attrib-
utes this deplorable fact to an excess
of sunlight, which the sensitive blond
cannot endure.

Gifts Worth Fortune Undeiperpd
Government Does Not Allow Its Employees to Accept Presents
Many of Which Have Histories.

Smithsonian institution and director OF
the national museum, wrote the secre-
tary OF the treasury. January >, 1855,
asking that the collection be turned
over to the national museum. In
March. 1887, arrangements for the
safe keeping of the collection having
been perfected at the Smithsonian in
stitution, the collection was given into
its keeping. There it is now viewed
by thousands. From time to time 9TH
er gifts have been added to 1t but many
still remain with the state. war and
navy departments.
In the collection now exhibited are
two muskets presented to President
Jefferson by the hey of Tunis: cane
made of an elephants tusk and gold
mounted, presented to John Quincy
Adams; gold snuff box with the nil
tial A. in diamonds. presented TO
General Andrew Jackson by Emperor
Alexander of Russia: sword with gold
scabbard and mountings, presented to
| Commodore James Biddle by the vice
roy of Peru: necklaces of diamonds and
pearls, cashmere shawls, Persian rugs,
other ornaments of pearls and a gold
mounted sword presented to Commo-
dore j. d. Elliott by the imaum of
Muscat.
Those gifts from Muscat came after "a
treaty had been concluded with the
imaum by Commissioner Edmund Rob
erts He had been in 1888 to Cochin
China, Slain and Muscat in the inter
est of American commerce in the east.
The result of this treaty was the estab-
| lishment of an American consulate on
the island of Zanzibar. to which ma
tive was appointed. Shortly after the
| imaum. Syeed Ben AIMED, presented
Commissioner Roberts with two Ar
abian horses and lion. These were
| forwarded to the secretary of state.
| They arrived in Washington early in
| 1885 and were sold under a resolution
| of congress.
Other presents were sent later by
the imaum to President Van Buren,.
On Christmas day. 1889, the ship Sui
tanee arrived in New York with two
| Arabian horses, a bottle of altar of
| roses, five demijohns Of rose water, a
number of cashmere shawls. Persian
rugs and a box of pearls for the pres
| ident; a sword for Commodore Elliott
and a shawl each for the wives OF
/ Lieutenants W. F. Shields and A. H
Foote, the latter becoming later Ad'
miral Foote.
| The Arabian horses were sold but
the state department took over the 9th,
er things and added them to it's col
| lection. From time to time the collec-
| tion has been increased by gold med
ais. silver medals, match boxes. swords
and jewels given to American mill
tary men, diplomats and consuls. In
very few cases has congress author
| lied the acceptance by the individual
| of the gifts. The recent visits of for
eign princes and diplomats to this
country has added materially to the
collection. They have attempted to
show appreciation of the courtesies eN-
tended to them by this country in pres
ents to the officials detailed by the gov
ernment to show them around. For
eigners can not understand why this
government does not want it's officials
to accept presents, and they continue
their custom of making them.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN

OF ner ~mother and the pet or ner IA
ther. All her winters she spent on the
continent, either in Italy. France or
Germany. and in these lands the prin-
cess become proficient in music and
painting. and when still child she
spoke and wrote French. German and
Italian with great fluency. She stud
led under Mile Bricka. and even after
her debut into society this woman
stayed on as a companion and friend.
In time the question of marriage pre-
sented itself. She became the betroth-
ed of the Duke of Clarence. the heir
apparent to the English throne. but
one month before the wedding the
duke succumbed to sudden illness.
The plans Of state. while thus inter
rupted. were not broken. and in little
more than year her betrothal to
Prince George was announced.
The wedding day marked an inter
esting phase of English history. Since
James II. the royal bridegroom was
the first heir to the throne who had
married an English girl. and the occa-
sion of the wedding brought about Z
national holiday.
1t was also significant that there was
no foreign honeymoon after the we'd
ding. The bridal pair went to York
cottage. where FIVE or six children were
born.
Since the first year of her marriage
the princess has been very busy with
the cares of a household.
The birth of Prince Edward Albert
was hailed with great rejoicing, and
little boy at York Lodge. The princess.
like all the women Of her line. proved
herself a good mother by caring for
her babies with her own hands. and
the time which she used to spend on
needEework and horticulture went into
the active supervision Of the nursery
In this pleasant task her husband

1t was the wish Of Queen Victoria
that Il member Of her family should
officially represent her in tour of the
colonial possessions
The formation Of the Australian
com mmonweaith made the excuse. and
just as everything had been arranged
for the trip Of the Duke and Duchess
of York Queen Victoria died. The
king, remembering the spirit in which
tEa trip had been planned. decided that
her project should be carried out. and
with but little delay the heir apparent

should be INDUCED in rather than re-
pressed. The reason why? A good.
free, unrestricted yawn counteracts
the effect Of laughing. Just stop and
think how often we laugh and how
seldom-comparative yawn. The
muscles are stretched In one direction
while laughing. and by constant repe-
tition little lines are formed around
the corners Of the mouth. Yawning
stretches these same muscles in exact
ly the opposite direction and therefore
tends to undo the mischief caused by
our good humor.
Yawn. but don't stop laughing, or
you will be like the woman who, at an
advanced age, had not line or wrin-
kle in her face. but whose countenance
was entirely expressionless. Dreading
these same lines and wrinkles. she had
all her life schooled her features to
express nothing Of JOY or sorrow.

girls cannot play games with an un-

Now, that is an aspersion which all

Washington, May 30.-Half dozen
resolutions authorizing acceptance OF
gifts by American military men and
diplomatic officers from foreign rul-
ers were turned down recently by the
house committee on foreign affairs
Accompanying the rejection was re-
port tending to discourage any such
efforts in the future
In strong language the committee
pointed out that the provision of the
constitution prohibiting the acceptance
OF such gifts by Americans in official
life was drawn wisely by the fathers
of the country in the interest of the
integrity and perpetuity of the repub
lie. Underlying the prohibition is the
thought that those accepting such gifts
would be under more or less obligation
to the giver, and to that degree al
least weaken his allegiance to this
country.
The most notable exception to this
rule by congress was the authorize
tion of acceptance by former Presiden,
Roosevelt of the Nobel peace prize
amounting to about $4,000. Colonel
Roosevelt turned this money over tC
the department of commerce and la
Dor to form the basis of fund for eX
penses attending arbitration and the
peaceful settlement of disputes be-
tween capital and labor. Before grant
ing the authorization in this instance
congress had full knowledge what was
to be done with the money. The prize
was awarded Colonel Roosevelt for his
efforts in terminating the war between
Russia and Japan.
Notable Collection Of Gifts.
The recent action of the house com
mittee arouses new interest in the no
table collection of valuable and cur
ious gifts presented by foreigners tc
official Americans which this govern
ment has not authorized acceptance OF
and which are now in safe keeping al
the national museum and in the state
war and navy departments. These
and valuable gems.
Burglars have made raids on the col
lections twice, but each time the police
succeeded in running down the thieves
and recovering most of the stolen arti
cles. For many years the collection
was kept in the patent office, attached
in it's early days to the state depart
ment. There was no day watchman in
the building them, and on December
21, 1S41, in broad daylight, the door
of the room in which the collection
was kept was opened by means of 4
false key and the thief carried off &
gold snuff box and gold scabbard
The value of the stolen articles was
placed at $4,000. A reward of $1,000
was offered by the government fol
their recovery. In some mysterious
manner. not recorded in the archives
Of the state department. they were re
covered in a few weeks in Baltimore
The thief was not apprehended, or, il
be was, he was not prosecuted.
For years the collection was los,

the vault of the treasury building. Ir

the vault found the box and recon-
mended that the collection be turned
