Odd Mistakes In Signs.

From the Philadelphia Record.
 Ignorance of foreign languages is the cause of a curious misuse of words, as may be noted in many instances. Grocery stores again and again display signs which contain these mistakes. In one store recently at the delicatessen counter was displayed sign which read. From. age de Erie cheese The maker of the sign did not know that ''fromage" means cheese and his sign should have read simply "Fromage de Erie" or "Brie cheese Tn this same line was the sigr in another store. which invited customer. to purchase Petit pois peas" '.Pois" is the French for peas but the clerk ir his ignorance had copied the label and added the name from what he knew tn, can contained Mistakes can be found on signs which use English as badly a. the foreign tongues. but these mistake, are often only of spelling. like that t&il or's sign in Eighth street which for yeSr has assured customers .hat dresaAs trousers and coats will be 'soured' n stead of secured at regular prices.

PLANNING A JOB
 FOR ROOSEVELT

New York, March 3.-W. J. Arkell, a well known publisher of Canal joharie N. Y., who formerly owned a weekly magazine in this city, admitted to- night he had attempted to buy the New York Sun and that he had hoped to have Theodore Roosevelt for it's editor
 ''It is not true."N said he, that the affan heirs baked when it was learned that Roosevelt was to assume charge. The truth is that I got in touch with the Laffan heirs and of fered $2.0o0.O00. They replied that tn ey had already refused $3.500.00C. There the negotiations ended
 Later I may try again. said he, but not at $s,5c0, 900. Tn ere is a syndi- cata of us who believe it would be ad- vantageous for the country to have Mir Roosevelt at the head of a big daily newspaper"

ALL EYES WATCH
 WAGE STRUGGLE

Baltimore, March 3-Tonight all things the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and the committees representing their conductors and trainmen, who have been in negotia- tion for some time relative to wages and service conditions. Today the commit tees formally notified President Willard and the other officers that the men had rejected almost unanimously the counter proposition of the railroad as against the demands of the men,
 President Willard has called upon Chairman Knapp Of the interstate com merce commission and Commissioner of Labor Charles P Neil to act as media tors, and one or both of these will be in Baltimore tomorrow. She uld they fail to bring the two parties together arbitra- tion under the Erdman act will probably be resorted to.
 Presidents Garretson and Lee of the unions concerned have notified the media tors that they will postpone all action until Il o'clock Saturday. March 5, to al low time for the exercise of their friend ly offices.
 The railroads throughout the east are looking with especial interest upon the struggle, and it is reported tonight that some of them have urged the Baltimore and Ohio to fight to the last ditch, prom ising all needed aid in the way of men and money.
 The counter proposition of the Balti- more and Ohio, in response to the de- nands of the men, it is said, conceded compliance with the law in the matter of hours of labor, but that concessions as to pay were so trifling as to amount practi- cally to a flat refusal in that regard. 1t is intimated, however. that President Willard is not irrevocably opposed to granting further concessions

SENAT( R ALLDS
 DENIES CHARGES The Defendant in Bribery Case Says Stories Are False HE DID NOT TAKE BRIBE Attorney Martin Littleton Declares That He VIII Show How Aids
 Voted Against Certain
 Bridge Bill
HE DID NOT TAKE BRIBE

Albany, March 3-This was distinctly Senator Aids day in the bribery investi- gation. The defendant occupied the wit ness stand from the opening of the ses- sion and his direct examination was fin- shed when adjournment was taken until tomorrow. The defendant told story that contradicted at every point Conger's assertion that Aids solicited and re- ceived s1Ooo for blocking legislation hos tile to the bridge company.
 Absolutely false,' declared the ac- cused senator when Conger's testimony was repeated to him. He not only denied having taken the bribe, but insisted there had been no conversation about such a transaction. Moreover, he asserted he Frank, the agent of the American Bridge company, and that the first time he saw Hiram G. Moe was when he appeared on the stand at this trial.
 Aids said he acted as counsel for the Acme company when 1t was organized and was still stockholder Cook in formed him. he went on. that Frank Con ger was ''the active man for the Amer ican Bridge company. and as this was a powerful corporation. his company de- sired to preserve friendly relations with it, and for that reason Cook felt much disturbed
 T told him." said Aids, to go to make his peace with Conser''
 Attorney Littleton then said he would set out to prove his contention that Aids helped to defeat the Maltby- Stevens bridge bill in 1901, on the orders of United States Senator Thomas C. Platt. tele- gram and letter from Platt to Aids. re- questing him to hold the bill in the as- sembly rules committee were identified by Aids and placed in evidence.
 MT. Platt wrote that he took this &C., ton upon the request of William A. Smythe of Owego, PIatt's home town, and chairman of the Tioga republican county committee. Smythes letter telling Platt that the bill would injure the Owego Bridge company, and therefore the town. was also placed in evidence.
 Letters were also introduced to i,rove that Platt had written asking Aids 10 stop the Maltby-Stevens town elections Dill, which was at first opposed by the bridge companies, and that Aids replied that the bill had passed and was beyond his reach. Platt was informed that the bridge companies did not so much object to this measure so long as tie other bill limiting the amount of money that the town officials might expend for bridge improvements was not passed.
 Aids letter was read notifying Platt that the latter measure was resting safe y in the rules committee and would be held there and suggesting that the re- publican leader also write Speaker Nixon about it. M
 That Platt followed this advice was proved by a letter of his to the speaker dated April II. 1861, in which he requested Nixon to cooperate with Aids against the bill

DAIRYMAN KILLED
 BY HIS EMPLOYE

Memphis, Tenn, March 3-As result of quarrel between A. L. Redmond a prominent dairyman of this city, and his wife late today, Redmond was shot to death by Allen Webb, an employe, when Webb interfered in behalf of the wife. Redmond shot at Webb twice before receiving his death wound.
 According to Mrs. Redmond her hus- band returned from his milk route to- day in a quarrclsome mood. Webb was employed to help work and entered the house in time to hear Redmond re- mark to his wife:
 "Tll blow your head off if you talk that way"
 This quarrel was not the first that Webb had overheard and he rema TX ed to Redmond:
 T wouldn't do that if were you"
 Redmond retorted angrily and after threatening Webb rushed into an ad- joining room, whore he armed himself with a shotgun and fired at Webb.
 Webb seized revolver from a man tel and fired three shots at Redmond, one of which took effect in his head causing instant death. Webb es- caped.

into the south to make good the loss of this section.
 The railroads of the south have been confining their activities to sending out leaflets and pamphlets, whenever they heard Of anyone thinking of coming to southern territory, or whenever inquiry was made for them; but as to placarding the west or advertising In western news papers and farm journals, they have done practically none of it.
 The Southern railway is the first Of the railroads of the south to announce that 1t proposes to work along these az gressive lines in the future; that 1t is going out in the effort to bring sterling western farmers into southern territory.
 It is probable that other railroads, like wise, as a result of widespread news paper criticism along this line, will short ly follow suit. and that the next few years will witness the inauguration of a general campaign by the combined forces of many railroads, looking to building up the south.
 The appointment of MT. Foreman, it is said means but the beginning Of this class of work with the Southern rail- way; it Is understood to be the purpose of the system to extend the department as the occasion demands, and, aooYe everything. to get results.
 Candidates Are Backward
 Usually the politicians wake up in advance of the public; they begin, as a rule, to do their talking and make their announcements before the people are ready for them.
 This year 1t looks as if the order were being reversed. Everywhere over the state there is talk of candidates and campaigns and elections. It looks this time as If the people or at least some of the newspapers Of the state are trying to stir the animals up
 Most of the talk, of course, is about the governorship. There are very few newspapers in the state which have not discussed it. most of them editorially
 The Smith and the Brown papers are already at it. hammer and tongs, while Governor Brown and MT. Smith continue to saw wood.
 From present indications the cam paign will be worked up to fever heat before either one of them gets into 1t So when they come to announce, if both of them do, they will find a ready made campaign all prepared for them to pitch right into.
 There is no doubt that a determined effort is being made to pull the for mer governor into the race. It may be that he will be in it, but those who are interesting themselves in the mat ter, might as we'll make up their minds that nothing Is going to happen for at least two months and possibly not for three.
 If the former governor waits for Governor Brown to make his announce ment preparatory to getting into 1t himself as has been reported, 1t will be somewhere about June 1 before he will be heard from.
 In the meantime, doubtless the talk will continue, but there is no indica- ton whatever that it will have the effect of precipitating the campaign any earlier than it will naturally come about of it's own accord or that of the principals.

A Modern spartan.

II. Americans apparently are developing something of that fine spirit that made the 6partans. Two instances Of this have lately been given. James P. Thomas, son of a millionaire, was left in the St. Louis jail for three months and a half by his wealthy relatives simply because they be- licved hs deserved that punishment Po- liceman G. T. Reese of the Atlanta police force, caught his two sons in the act of robbing a store arrested them testified for the state and had them sent to the penitentiaYy for two years. The judge thought this conduct so remarkable that he said:
 ''There. indeed, Is real man and an officer who has the highest possible re- gard for his oath. He deserves to rank with the old Roman judge who con- demned his own son.
 These two cases. unusual as they may seem, show tendency of the times. A greater sense of justice seems to be spraading over the country. The crusades against special privilege of all kinds seem to be pervading the home and the relations between man and man, father and sons. and the closest relatives. There is a growing realization that where . family may save an errinE relative harm is being done to the community general iy and the innocent are suffering for the guilty.
 The two cases cited touch both the rich and the poor In the one case. where q rich mans son erred the punishment will undoubtedly have saiutary effect on the individual. It will teach him that just because he is rich mans son is no general guarantee of immunity from all
