LEADERS CHANGE VIEWS.

William O'Brien, the Irish politi- cal leader, is reported to have taken up his permanent abode in Jerusa- lem. Half century ago another Irish leader, Sir Charles Gavan Duffy, got disgusted with the situa- tion in the Emerald isle, threw up his seat in the house of commons and went into voluntary exile. But he preferred Australia, where he en- tered on new career, became a minister of the crown, premier, speaker and the recipient of politi- cal pension of $5,O0O per annum, which he lived to enjoy for 40 years.

THE suLTAN's PALACES.

Abdul Hamid, like all his prede- cessors, has had a mania for build ing. The European visiting Turkey for the first time is astounded at the number of white gleaming palaces which line either side of the Bos- phorus. And in every city of qthe empire there is a kiosk set apart for the sultan, which he never visited. all of them palatial abodes filled with choice furniture, rare marbles, mirrors and lusters from Venice, mosaics from Florence and Rome, wiA deep-hued carpets, soft and vel vety as fur. These magnificent resi- dences are nominally guarded by major-domos, who live there with their families in comfortable drowsi- ness and ease and with only one ob- ject in life, that of maintaining their places.

Shark Whipped peviIfish.

furious battle between a big devil fish and a shark is the talk e Fort De Soto, says a dispatch from Tampa, Fla. Capt. John " Bodden was stand ing on the quarter-master's deck when he noticed an empty yawl boat being drawn down at its mooring by some unseen force until it was submerged Then the tentacle of a devilfish, esti- mated to have measured fully IA feet, and weighing ton and a half pro- truded from the water. The great fish became entangled in the moor ings of the yawl, and was unable to disentangle itself.
 At this juncture a 15-foot shark at tackled the devilfish, tearing its great tentacles to pieces. The shark fled at the approach of a crowd, leaving the water dark with blood, but re- turned and seizing the remains of the devil fish carried both them and the boat away at high speed. The boat was found floating later. Examina- tion showed that the devilfish had wound about 60 feet of the mooring rope about itself. the attacks of the shark cutting the rope into dozens of pieces.

The Story of an
 Inheritance
By EMILIA PARDo BAZAN

Copyright. by Short Stories Co.,. Ltd)
 The Angel of Death was drawing nearer and nearer to Don Javier de CampuzanO, but he watched it's ap- proach without fear, for he repented of all his sins and trusted in the mercy of hiIs who died to obtain par don for all the children of men. There was only one thing that disquieted him during the long sleepless nights that so weary the old and feeble. He feared that after his death dissensions might arise, and bitter conflicts and Allegations might take place between his children and only heirs, in regard to the division of his estates. Don Javier was the possessor of vast do- mains-a man of great wealth, but he was not ignorant of the fact that the fiercest battles for money had always been waged by the rich. He remem- bered the litigation he had had with his elder brother litigation so intricate. so relentless, so interminable.. that began by cooling their brotherly love. and finished by changing 1t into cruel est hatred. The sin of wishing all kinds of evil to his brother, of having injured and defamed him, and even dreadful memory-of having watched for him one night in the shadow of the oak grove for the purpose of chal- lenging him to mortal combat. was the burden that for many years had weighed heavily upon the conscience Of Don ,Javier So far as his intention was concerned, he had been frati- eide, and he trembled at the thought that perhaps his children, whom he loved so tenderly, should come to hate each other for a handful of gold. Nature had given Don Javier an elo- quent example and severe lesson; his two children. a boy and girl were twins. In order to prevent jealousy arising from supposed paternal fa- voritism, Don Javier had selected a military career for his son, so that he

 was nearly always separated from him; only, at last, when he knew ments were hastening him to the grave, did he send for Jose Maria in order that he might alternate with Maria Jesefa in ministering to his needs
 After long deliberation the old man had formed plan and began to put it into operation by calling his daughter apart one day, before the arrival of her brother, and saying to her, with great solemnity:
 My daughter, before the arrival of your brother, there are some very in- portant instructions that I wish to give you. As soon as I close my eyes as soon as you offer up prayer for my soul-you will go to the farm house at Guadeluz, and in the base ment there is a large Gothic chest, very old and very heavy; count to your left, from the door, 16 bricks notice carefully-16-do you under stand? and raise the seventeenth brick that has on 1t the sign of the cross and those immediately sur rounding it. Underneath these bricks you will find a stone with a large staple in it, cemented with strong mortar. Remove the mortar, take out the stone and there will appear a hid ing place, and in it a million reals in double doubloons (SI6 gold pieces) and in 100 reals or ($25 gold pieces) These are my savings for many years. The million is yours. yours only I leave it to you as its undisputed pos sessor. And now, hush, not a word, we will never discuss this subject again. When I die"
 Maria Josefa smiled sweetly, ac- knowledged her gratitude to him with words of love and tenderness. Jose Maria arrived that same night and the brother and sister watched by turns over the beloved father who was slowly fading away before their eyes. The critical moment. the slI- preme hour. did not finger long in presenting itself, and in the midst of the convulsive twitching of that sor. rowful moment, Maria Josefa mo- ticed that the dying one pressed her hand in significant manner. and il seemed to her that the glazing eyes said to hers: "Remenber the seven teenth brick-a million of reals

INTRODUCED FLOWER FAD.

Flowers made of satin ribbon is a fad of English society women, Miss Ida Freeman, an American girl, having introduced it. She sent box of flowers to a bazaar, and when it was opened it was discovered that the flowers were not real. They looked so much more natural than any other artificial flowers that the ladies immediately began making them of soft satin, under the direc- tion of Miss Freeman.

judgment followed. The Harvard
team, as a whole, was the same COM
pact and well drilled team of the
whole season, but it lacked at crit
ical times a master hand.
The punting was disappointing as a
whole, although in the first period it
gave promise of being feature. Howe
did not get distance and FELTON, only
was able to get telling distance.
In the game Harvard punted Is
times for $40 yards, and Howe booted
the ball 20 times for SO yards. From
the spectators point of view the fea-
trues of the game were the variety of
plays used and the more interesting
fact that the ball could always be
seen.
The forward pass was used by Har-
ward five times.
Three tries were failures and of the
other two only one made a gain and
that only eight yards. Yale did not
use the play. Days drop kick was
matched by one made by Lewis, which
was a similar failure.
The superiority of Harvard over
Yale was shown in the rushing, for
10 times the crimson got first down,
and her work in this style, tried 50
times, brought gains of POI yards
while Yale, following first down, six
times, tried 81 times for Ill yards.
Yale discarded the onside kick en-
tirely, while Harvard tried it four
times as an effective ground gamer.
The game was short, lasting less
than an hour and three-quarters. The
scene, which has as It's setting a patch
of green turf with banks of humanity
on all four sides, scintillated with
color in the sun as it slowly crept
down the horizon.
The singing was effective and one
of the striking color effects was when
the Harvard cheering section in the
west stand outlined a great "H' in
crimson and white pennants, waving
them to a college air.
Yale today used nothing except vari-
atoms of the famous Minnesota
shift" shown in the Princeton game.
These consisted chiefly of changes of
the objective point of attack and
new shifts of the men carrying the
ball.
In actual playing today nearly all
the players went to wreck. The for
ward pass and double shift were not
tried because of Harvard's quickness
and skill in diagnosing the Yale play.
AS the game went ON with it's vary
ing changes Yale adopted mainly de-
fensive tactics. The blue never came
nearer Harvard's goal line than the As
yard line except at the close, when

moments Yale men believed their
team was outpIayfng Harvard, but
Days try for goal changed posses
sion of the bali and the game ended,
just after Harvard had kicked out of
danger to neHr mfdfield.
The playing of Howe at quarter
back, where he was charged with
punting, carrying the BALI and run
ming the team. was to Yale men a
prominent incident. He is undert
stood to be- slated for next years cap
taincy.

Hepburn act provides that "the term
common carrier as used in this act
shall include sleeping car companies"
The attorneys out in Chicago set up
the claim that as a matter of fact the
Pullman Company is not a common
carrier, but a sort of portable hotel
company.
The Hepburn act provides that all
property used In the transportation
OF passengers OF freight shall be in
eluded as part of the railroads" af-
fected by the act, and that the term
transportation" shall include cars
and other vehicles and all instru-
mentalities of shipment or carriage,
irrespective of ownership
The Supreme Court has already
ruled that a sleeping car, even if
owned by some party other than the
particular railroad upon whose line it
operates, is an instrumentality used
In the business of transportation, and
as such must be made to conform 20
the requirements Of Federal statutes
regulating interstate railroads. II
would seem but logical, therefore, that
If the sleeper itself is an instru-
mentality governed by laws laid down
for the conduct of common carriers,
the company that owns and operates
the sleeper must itself be common
carrier.
1t is altogether probable that the
Pullman Company will be defeated on
these two points, and that it's defense
will rest upon the reasonabIeness of
the rates in question. When the
Supreme Court looks at the profit side
of the cOmpany's books, it will find
evidence a-plenty that berth charges
can be reduced.
1t is, therefore, perhaps not too op-
timistic TO believe that the day of
cheaper sleeping car rates is approach
ing.

PASSAGE OF THE RAILROAD
BILL IN SIGHT.

Passage of the railroad bill is at last
in sight in the Senate. Within a few
days it is expected the final vote will
be taken on the measure. That it will
pass Is not questioned, and the indi-
cations are that fairly good bill will
come out of conference. All indica-
tons point to legislation which will
be marked by important advances on
the present law in respect to the ex-
tent of Government control over rail
road rates and practices.
It is now clear that the bill will. when
finally enacted, bear little resemblance
to the original Administration measure.
In each house it has been materially
improved and strengthened largely as
a result of the determined efforts OF
the insurgents in both bodies. The
Objectionable traffic agreement and
merger sections have been stricken out.
The capitalization control sections, as
they stood in the original bill, Nos.
Is, IA, and 10, have been stricken out
in the Senate. Desirable as it would
be to have these sections replaced by
effective provisions for the control of
capitalization, this viii not be done for
the reason that the Senate Democrats
stand almost to a man against capt.
talizatiOn control, and the Senate regu-
lar leaders are not willing to stand for
such control as the insurgents hold
would be needful to protect the public
interests.
improvements have been made over
the present law in both House and
Senate as to the long and short haul.
The commission viii be allowed to
initiate proceedings against rates with
out waiting for the complaint of ship
pers. 1t is not clear that the commerce
court viii be of any advantage to
shippers, and it is quite clear the turn
ing over TO the Department of Justice
of control of litigation arising from
orders of the commission will be a
step backward.
The long fight over the Cummins
amendment, whereby the commission
would be required to approve all pro-
posed increases of rates before they
could 90 into effect, has ended in its
defeat and the adoption OF the Jones
amendment, under which the commits
sion can, in the aggregate, suspend a
proposed increase for ten months,

PERFORMERS WELL TRAINED
IN NEW YORK.

One Of the best trained organizations
of political performers in the country
is that which is just now inhabiting
the assembly chamber of the New
York State capitol Each little actor
seems to know his lines perfectly, and
to have the business" attached to his
part down to a point well-nigh error
less.
The beauty and smoothness with
which the human machine operates
was nicely illustrated the other day
when the lower house was voting on
the proposition to ratify the income
tax amendment to the Federal COnsti-
tuition. Seventy-six votes were neces-
sary to pass the resolution, and when
the roll had been called and the tally
taken it was found that exactly sew
enty-six members had answered in the
affirmative. This was apparently a
little more than the Republican bosses
had intended TO do for the measure,
50 Floor Leader Merritt jumped 10 his
feet, raised a warning hand to delay
the announcement of the roll call,
looked across the chamber toward As
semblyman Barden and cried:
"Barden, change your vote!"
Assemblyman Barden promptly rose
to his feet and changed his vote from
aye" to no" Whereupon the pre-
siding officer announced that the reso-
luton had failed by one vote to re-
eeive the necessary majority.
Thus the income tax amendment
went into the scrap heap so far as
New York State is concerned.

itself better able to deal with the rail

the railroads. At the same time, it is
source of some satisfaction that the
