GERMANS CUT YANKEE GRAIN
Russia VIII Furnish Bulk Of Product
This Year-Hieh Prices Are
Not Felt.

Berlin.-A great reduction in the
Importation of American grain into
Germany is predicted by members OF
the Berlin grain exchange. who de-
clare that this year the German con-
sumer is practically independent of
the United States as source of sup
ply.
Noting the fact that the recent
sharp advances in the American mar
ket failed to produce any material eff
feet on the Berlin exchange. the
bourse expert of the Tageblatt says
that the reason may be found in the
exceptional conditions which enable
Germany to rely almost entirely upon
other countries. While American
wheat has gone up In consequence OF
the general rise in all commodities,
the Russian crops are expected TO be
large enough to cover the entire Ger
man demand at lower prices Hence,
adds the writer. the Berlin exchanges
are responding more readily to price
conditions in Russia than to the huc-
tuations in the American markets.

his aversion to racetrack gambling.
"lf gambling were but mere Incl

said Mr.. Spreckels at a San Francisco

racing. 1t dominates It. 1t dwarfs
it like the case of the fountain pen.
"A girl, you know, gave her intend

Some weeks later the young man said

Yes, said she.

The Lesser OF Two Evils.

On the first Sunday of their visit
in Chicago the successful merchant
escorted his parents to a fashionable
church. Some of the hymns were fa-
miliar, and in their rendition the Wis
iting pair contributed heavily, with
the credit for volume in favor of the
father.
Although not always in correct
time, and sometimes in discord, yet
the JOY of the good couple leaped forth
in joyous praise. and they did not see
the glowering looks of nearby wor-
shippers or the flushed face of their
devoted son.
Father" observed the merchant
that afternoon, while his mother was
taking her accustomed nap, ''in our
churches the congregation does very
little singing; 1t is left entirely to the
choir"

tleman, as he lovingly placed a hand
on his sons shoulder, that it was

did the people would have heard

BRIBERY CHARGE

Republican Insurgent

'lade Charges Originally at Meeting
of Hughes Senators, Who Bolted Re-

tham p. Aids, now President pro ten.
OF the Senate, while Republican leader
OF the Assembly, accepted retainer
TO hold up legislation, and later al
lowed the measure to pass, is the ac-
cusation brought by Senator Ben Con-
ger, Of Tompkins. The alleged act
happened in 1901, and even il proven
how, the principals could not be prose
cuted, under the statute of limitations.
Immediately upon being apprised
that the charge was in circulation,
Aids denounced 1t as untrue and SLAM
turous, and announced that he would
demand that a special committee in
yrstigate 1t. At the same time he in
tiNated that he would strike back
With evidence in his possession that
officers Of bridge companies with
which Conger Is identified have been
Under indictment for bribery here, in
Massachusetts and other States.
Tending the inquiry, Aids will sur
render the direction of the Republican
urrer house majority to Senator
George A. Davis, of Erie, and devote
his energies to clearing himself of an
inputation which Conger and at least
Sc zen other Hughes Senators main
tain justified them in not only refus-
ing to support him for President pro
tenn, but in declining to participate in
the caucus which forced his selection.
Conger's indictment against Aids,
almost coincident with the implica-
ton of Lieutenant Governor White in
an irregular insurance DEAL has
thrown the machine camp into
panic.
Senator Conger made a statement
this evening in which he explained
that when he made the charges
against Senator Aids he believed that
the implied pledge OF secrecy under
which men speak their minds freely at
caucus would be respected in this
instance.

What Cynics Are.

Cynics was the name applied to a
school of philosophers founded by An
tisthenes, a pupil of Socrates. The
main tenet of the extreme Cynics was
that civilization is a curse, and true
happiness can be obtained only by
gratifying the most primary physical
appetites which man has in common
with brutes. The general attitude Of
the Cynics, as distinguished from that
of the Stoics, who regarded every
thing in the external world with in
difference. was one of contempt. They
were not an important philosophical
school numerically. but attracted at
tention largely by their eccentricities
and insolence. On account of their
contempt for refinement their name
came subsequently to be applied to
any one who takes a mean view Of hui
man life.

but when the customer handed him
five dollar bill his face became
gloomy.
81 can't change that" he said.
"Well, get it from the ticket Office"
said the buyer; "and hurry. because
the boat will be going out in min

The fruit seller took the bill and
went over to the ticket window. The
agent refused to change the bill and
said:
I've refused you hundred tiues
before. | tell you | won't do it,
The stand keeper didn't want to
lose the sale and it looked as If he
was going to. Then an idea struck
him.
Here" he said to the buyer, "you
take the bill and buy your ticket with
it and I'll let you take it out Of the
price of the fruit"
So the customer got his ride free.

GIRLS LEAP TO DEATH
IN SUDDEN FIRE PANIC
Shirt Waist Factory Employees Perish
In Philadelphia Blaze-Fire
Escapes Useless.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 25.-Five
persons girls and one man
leaped to their death in panic caused
by a fire In the four story factory
building at Nos. 20S-210 Chancellor
street, near Second and Walnut
streets. Five others received injuries
from which they will probably die
and many more were less seriously
hurt. The property damage is esti-
mated at $4,000.
The dead are Morris Fessan, aged
twentysiX, fractured skull; Clara
Swartz, aged eighteen, crushed by
fall; Ida Greenberg. twenty, burned
and crushed; Rebecca Kaufman, nine
teen, fractured skull, and Elizabeth
Chachkin, sixteen, burned and crush

The probably fatally injured are
Rebecca Chachkin, aged fourteen
fractured skull, internal injuries and
burns; Hyman Belokin, aged twenty
FIVE, both legs and arms broken and
probably internal injuries; Sarah
Cohen, seriously burned and probably
internally injured; Philip Poklos. arm
and both legs fractured; unidentified
negro woman, overcome by smoke and
flames.
Nearly all of the dead and severely
injured were employed in the shirt
waist factory of Joseph Chachkin,
which occupied part Of the fourth
floor OF the building. Chachkin HIM
self was injured. One of his daugh
ters is dead and another dying.
The flames, which originated in tie
elevator shaft on the fourth floor, al e
supposed to have been caused by the
short circuiting of the electric motor
which ran the elevator.
The girls and men in Chachk!n 8
factory became panic stricken and
jumped wildly from the fourth story
windows. Men on the street spread
blankets and an awning to break their
falls, but in the dense smoke which
filed the narrow street many fell 10
the pavement before the improvised
fire nets could be extended for them.
The building was perfectly equip
ped with fire escapes, and nearly ev-
cry window had a rope. These proved
useless, however, owing to the panic.
One man instead of lowering the rope
and sliding down it jumped from the
window with the loose end in his
hands. He died with fractured skull.

bone by their rapid descent on t! @
