I have been travelling in Russia,
where there are cotton mills bigger

Britain, and found the entire cot

tion. 1t is practically paralyzed, ow-
ing to the impossibility of getting
raw material at fair price.
The result is that Russia is en-
barking on a determined effort to de-

DO MlLLIoNAIREs LAUGH?
earrulcus Member of the Clan De-
cIares They Do Not.

A rather garrulous millionaire of
considerable postprandial notoriety
has conflded to the public that mil
lionaires seldom laugh. The state
melt was received as. negligible
peasantry, whereas it is really a SYM
bolical truth that goes to the root OF
all our economic and social evils.
That millionaires habitually do not
laugh is the most calamitous factor in
modern civilization, asserts Every
body's Magazine.
1t is admitted that there may be
many insignificant millionaires who
are still able to sound the clarion of
hilarity. But among. the larger mil
lionaires, the great captains of finance
to whom we particularly apply the
terms, the springs Of mirth are I'M
questionably dry. The writer has had
the opportunity to meet and observe
many of these gentlemen, but only on
one occasion has he been able to
catch one in the act of laughing. The
millionaire in question was presiding
at dinner of the sdmplified spelling
board at the time, so that the provo
cation was undoubtedly extraordinary.
The instance does not affect the rule.

WOULD DEPORT
AN UNDESIRABLE
STATE BOARD OF CONTROL AN
MOVED BY CASE I'M MlLWAU-
IKE CONSTITUTION.

'sThe state board of control has
done everything that could be done
in the case of Mic GiEk, an alien in
mate Of the Milwaukee county house
of correction, to determine his sanity
and if found insane or undesirable to
have him properly cared for and if
possible to secure his deportation.
Such was the declaration yesterday
of Secretary M. j. Tappins of the
board, speaking of a published criti-
cism made publicly in Milwaukee.
Mr.. Tappins referred to the record
in the case, showing that on May 70
complaint was made by the author
tiles of the mouse of correction that
Gilk, who on May q was sentenced
to the institution for 80 days on
charge of disorderly conduct, was zap
parently insane" Immediately On re-
ceipt of the complaint the authorities
of the house of correction we're mott
fled that the state board of control
would sit as a commission in lunacy
to investigate and DR.. Harry Bradley
and DR.. W. F. Wegge, both notable
experts in mental and nervous disor-
ders, were appointed to make an in
vestigation into the question of the
lunacy of Gilk, and on May q the in
vestigation was made.
The results of the hearing by Doc
tors Bradley and Wegge were submit
ted in the report of the physicians in
which they find the facts that Gilk is
20 years of age, an Austro-Hungar-
ian, single and a laborer. Upon the
question of Gilk's sanity, as to his de-
rangement Or manifestations of hal
lucinations or delusions, the p1ys1-
clans declare that ''tnis man is not
insane. He appears to have attacks
that are epileptic in character. He is
densely ignorant and should be de-
ported" Answering the question, In
your opinion is the patient insane?'-
the doctors answer mo"
June Is Inspector Momsen of the
house of correction wrote to the
board of control advising that since
the visit of the physicians Gilk has
in his behavior very mater
tally owing to the fact that We have
found an interpreter who under
81 ands his dialect, thus enabling us
to give him instruction as to his con-
duct and work.
Inspector Momsen, after the report
of the examining physicians, was in
formed by the board of control of it's
finding. Steps were taken to secure
the deportation of elk as an undesir-
able and p L. Prentis, inspector OF
the national department of commerce
and labor was asked to cooperate to
secure the deportation.
These are all the records in the
case. There has been no complaint
by Inspector Momsen or any other
authority Of the Milwaukee institu-
tion since the assurance That Gilk
had improved very materially in his
behavior
Inspector Prentis has informed Mr.
Momsen that if the examining physi-
clans make certificate that elk suf-
fered from epilepsy or insanity prior
to his arrival he will take up the
matter with a view to deportation.
Otherwise, Inspector Prentis advises
Mr.. Momsen that the department has
repeatedly refused to issue warrants
for arrest in such cases on mere

MONA GIRL.
GRAND CIRCUIT MEETING AT
KALAMAZOO SHOWS FINE
HARNESS EVENTS.

Kalamazoo, July 30.-Country Jay,
the grand old fourteen-year-old trot-
ter, proved a wonder in the grand
circuit opening, if not in all harness
history when in the second heat of
the 2:05 trot yesterday, ne made a
new record for himself In the time
of 2:051i. Country Jay won this
race, which broke the worlds record
for the three fastest heats ever con-
secutively trotted the time being
2:O4. 2:O5A, 2:0515.
The announcement from the judges
stand was loudly cheered and Gus
Macy, who drove Country Jay was
given an ovation.
Favorites won three/of the four
events
In the 200 pace, Giftline, a Kansas
horse, was made favorite. GTftline
was distanced in the first heat
through breaking at the half. A
bandage around one of his legs loos-
ened and tangled his feat so he
could not pace The first heat was a
beautiful one from the half between
Darkey Hal and the Eel. the Eel
won the heat. Darkey Hal won the
second by a neck. In the third the
Eel lost close race.
In the 2:05 trot, Orc, the pole
horse, broke at the start, but quickly
recovered and the horses were well
punched at the quarter. From the
half to the finish it was a great race
between Sonoma Girl and Country
Jay. The Girl finally was driven I'M
der the wire length ahead of Coun-
try Jay in spite of the efforts of
Macy to lift his horse across. In
the second heat, destined to break the
winners own record, the horses all
kept their positions until past the
quarter. At the half, Country Jay
was driven to the lead, then the Girl
closed up and they were together at
the last quarter Country Jay again
drew ahead and the pace was so hot
that the Girl dropped back into third,
just before crossing the line. In the
last heat Jay led all the way, finish
ing couple of lengths in the lead
In the 2:09, Nancy Royce, the fav-
orite, was never in danger.
Earl, Jr., was the favorite in the
2:11 pace, with Peter Pan a strong
second. For four heats it was a see
saw between these two, but finally in
the fifth Earl, Jr., crossed the line
first and won the race.
