Saved By His Wit,

Lord Justice FitZgibbon, at the time
when he was one of the justices of ap-
peals of Ireland, was holding assizes in
Tipperary county when a man was
brought before him on indictment for
murder. The case was proved that the
victim came to his death by being hit
with a stick i'm the hands of the de-
fendant. but the doctor testified that
he had what they called in medical
parlance paper skull"
The case looked dark for the prison.
er however and the jury returned
verdict of guilty. AS the man was
brought before the court for sentence
it was noticed that his lordship had his
black cap in his hand
Have you anything to say why sem
tence should not be pronounced upon
you?" demanded Lord Fitzgibbon.
The man looked for a moment and
then said, No, your lordship. l have
nothing to say, but l should like TO
ask one question"
What is that. my man." said Fitz-
gibbon.
Il should like to know what man
with a head like that was doing in
Tipperary?"
The black cap was put away and a
prison sentence imposed.

Early Next Week

Washington, Jan. 29.-The question
of revising the rules of the house of
representatives and more particularly
enlarging the rules committee of
which Speaker Cannon is chairman,
is receiving consideration on the Re-
publican side Of that body. There is
a report in general circulation that
Republican caucus will be called
within week or so to take action
on the matter. The introduction of
the resolution of Representative Fow-
Ter, proposing to enlarge the rules
committee and remove the speaker as
a member of that committee is the
subject of much discussion. and Is
being used to determine the senti-
ment of the members. A prominent
insurgent who declined to allow the
use of his name expresses the opinion
that caucus for next week is as

Washington, Jan. 29.-Sheriff Jos.

United States for their connection
with the lynching of the negro, john
son. IN Chattanooga in 1906, finished
their sentences and were released
this morning.
Although the men could have left
the jail any time after midnight they
decided to wait until morning when
friends were to call for them with
automobiles and entertain them dur
Ing the day.
Shipp, who is an old confederate
veteran, with worn military cane
thrown over his shoulders, stepped
out into the raw morning air as the
prison door swung open. The old
mans face was ruddy. He took in a
long breath as he turned to the
deputy warden. There was q break

affected at the parting as the keepers,

COMETS NOT CAUSE
Of DISASTERS
Coincidence of Floods and the
1910 A Comet a Mere
Superstition

Chicago, Jan. 29-Do comets cause
floods. fires. famine, pestilence, quake
and other disasters on the earth
Never at any time or under any cir
|cumstances. If the cart. and comet
were to come into collision. the earth
would be affected no more than 'by a
dandelion gone to seed and blowing
about in the late summer air." These
statements, with others, as interest
ing to back them up, were made to-
day by Prof. Edwin B. Frost, director
of the Yerkes observatory at Williams
Bay, Wis.,. and a recognized authority
OH such subject.
Earth As Safe US Any PanCt
The noted astronomer added that he
hoped they would lay at rest at once
and for all the fears of the supers.i-
tiOus, who have endeavored to see a
connection between the approach to
the earth of Halley's comet and COM
ct A of 1910" and the present floods
In France and other recent calamities.
Such superstitntiOns, said the pro-
fessor. have no foundation whatever.
He added that the earth is about as
safe a planet to live OH as he knows
Of, and that it is not in the slightest
danger from any phenomena of the
heavens.
The astronomers indignation was
stirred when some stories which have
lately appeared in newspapers were
brought to his attention. These stor-
les sought to point out a parallel in
history between the appearance of
comets and the falling Of tremendous
disasters. They point silently to the
fact that two comets are now near the
earth and recite ominously that the
winter has been severe, and there are
floods in France and that hot winds
are blowing over northern Europe.
That this superstitious attitude is
not confined to one locality is shown
by a dispatch telling of a religious
community in South Norwalk, Conn,
who are on their knees in fear of the
end Of the world, merely because a
meteorite alighted in truck garden a
few days ago.
"Such stories are nothing short of
ridiculous" said Prof Frost. II can
hardly believe that there is any one
now living that takes any stock in
gases. with few hits of solid matter
scattered through them. Thair liYh,

Paris, Jan. 29-The waters OF the
Seine. having reached an unprce.
dented height and causing great de-
struction, began to recede today. Tha
crest of the flood was reached last
midnight. The waters remained sta
tionary until 2 o'clock, after which
they fell slowly. At s o'clock this
morning there had been a drop of two
inches, according to an official state
ment issued this afternoon. During
the night the storm clouds disappear
ed and the weather cleared. This
morning the sun shone brightly.
The river Marne has dropped
eight inches and the river Yonne eigh-
teen inches from the maximum Of
the flood. Hope Is strong that the
subsistence of all the vagrant streams
will be rapid. The high mark reached
by the river Seine at Pont Royal was
thirty-one feet, one inch. This Is the
highest known record. The situation
throughout the city continues grave
and there is fear that the recedine Of
the waters may cause the collapse Of
many buildings, the foundations Of
which have been greatly weakened by
the inundation.

YES"
CLAWS said he was ordered back on
the Alaska cases in November, 1908,
but did not actually take them up un-
til March, 1909. He was busy on 9TH
er matters. He could have assigned
one or two agents to the case, but he
perferred to give it his personal at
tention as it involved millions of dol
lars.
II he had not been taken off the
work in May, 1908, CLAWS declared he
would have had final reports in the
land Office in the fall of that year.
CLAWS testified to an interview he
had with Mr.. Ballinger in Seattle in
the middle of March, 1908, two weeks
or SO after Mr.. Ballinger had resign
ed as commissioner. A letter was in
troduced showing that prior to April
1, 1908, Mr.. Ballinger had requested
information regarding some of the
land claims from Fred bennett, his
successor.
CLAWS said he knew Judge Balling-
er would be bothered by lot of peo-
pie in Seattle as soon as he returned
there after leaving the government
service and he wanted to lay his side
of the case before him first.
But he wasn't government Of

sell
But 1 regarded him as SUCH" re-
piled CLAWS.
Mr.. Ballinger told me-" the witness
continued that there had been a lot
of undertaking and that l ought to
be careful before making charges
against any one. At a subsequent
interview with Mr.. Ballinger 1 told
him Cunningham was accusing me
Of having stolen his journal. He
told ME not to worry. that Cunn-
ingham evidently was spreading
this story to square himself with his
principals for doing such a silly
thing as to give the journal to me-"

MAKING OF NEWSPAPER MEN.
I,ouisville Courier-Journal,


Theological schools do not turn out
ready-made preachers, but young mon
who are trained to become preachers
Medical schools do not turn out physi-
clans, butFyoung men who will in time
become physicians. The skilled sur
geon Is not the product of a college
of surgery, but of education plus en-
pericnce. The lawyer learns more out
OF college than he learns in college.
Schools OF journalism will not make
journalists, but there Is no reason why
they should not be increasingly useful
IN training young men who have u nat
ural aptitude for newspaper work. The
most valuable equipment they can give
the student is knowledge of subjects
with which the newspaper man mus.
deal after graduation from the ranks.
Street fights, fires, railroad wrecks, po-
litical conventions, and the many oc-
currcnces and events customariIy
treated as news. are handled different
~ by different newspapers. The cub"
reporter who begins work without opin-
ions OF his own as to how the news
should be served to the consumer will
learn tho taste and the methods of the
newspaper he serves as readily MS the
graduate of Il school of journalism. But
there are too many bright young men
who can write an article and too few
possessing a sufficiently broad etluca-
tipn to fit them for higher position and
larger usefulness. Writing Is partly Il
Gift ana partly an art acquired by
conscientious practice. Knowledge OF
what to write and what not to write
must be gained by conscientious study
that may well be begun In college, but
must be continued throughout life.
