WAR TIME PRICES
 FOR SALT BACON

Chicago. october 26.-In the face of a steady decline in the price of hogs and corn, on which they are fed, Chicagoans who desired to eat bacon yesterday dis covered that they were compelled to pay the highest price ever obtained for the salt meat in times of peace-35 cents a pound sliced. If the housewife was will ing to cut it up herself she might have reduced this figure to three pounds for H, but that was the best she could do. It was up and to all appearances would stay at this record-smashing figure TOT some months. The sole reason for this cituation, according to c. w. Foster, vet eran provision dealer. lies in the shortage 6f bacon producing hogs.
 No matter what the facts might seem to indicate, he said, the difficulties lie in the ability of the packers to buy the porkers.

 His talk throughout was based almost entirely on the tariff question, declar- ing unequivocally that he favored the high tariff and reform He declared this to be the issue between himself and MT. Burnett.

But declared MT. Howard, there is new era in the his- tory of the people of the south from this year on, aud instead of the men be- ing driven into the support of men and issues they do not want. every man will vote as suit himself and that for the true American doctrine.

CHEERED .. :.
 BY VISIT '0F KING Storm-Swept Region Receives
 Royal Inspection THOUSANDS HOMELESS
Sufferers With Shelter, Food and Water Until Homes Are Fit
 To Live In'

Casamicciola, Island of Ischia, October 26.-King Victor Emmanuel today visited the Island of Ischia, where he view the destruction wrought by the recent hurrf- cane and cheered the suffering people. Many Americans learning of the Kings visit came from the Island of Capri to join in greeting his majesty.
 For an hour or two the King drove about in a small primitive vehicle, but was soon obliged to abandon this, going about on foot among the fallen trees, collapsed houses and heaps of mud and stones. Although bespattered with grime and sometimes with mud up to his knees, his majesty made the rounds oi 400 wrecked houses.
 Casamicciola is a favorite resort for
 its hot springs and the King expressed regret that the sources of these water, which brought riches to the island, were now buried. The damage is roughly estimated at about $1o.000,0Oo.
 Prior to his departure for Naples this evening the island women, many of them carrying babies, crowded around the King. wishing to kiss his hands. at which his majesty was greatly affected.
 The King was accompanied by his first aid, General Brusati, Admiral Garelli and Count Mattiolo-P -Pasoualini, minister of the royal household.
 The authorities were able to make more definite estimate of the fatalities caused by the cyclone. tidal wave and eruptions of Mount vesuvius and Mount Epomeo.
 Known deaths are: sM Cetrara, 80; Vecete, 31; Majori, 20; Cas- amicciola, Island of Ischia, F; Analf, 10; Resina, [; Madonna Grazie, l9; Minori 4; Lacco Amena, 3; Monte Corvno. P Torre del Greco, |: total. 1S9. Thousands are homeless and the most serious problem now is to provide these with shelter, food and water. The move ment of supplies is, difficult because ir many places the roads have been washed out. Most of the towns requiring aid car | be approached from the sea.
 | Admiral Leonardi, minister of marine had a narrow escape from death on the island of Ischia today. Tn attempting to get close view of the effect of the erup- ton from Mount Epomeo he approached | too close to the volcanic stream and sank to his waist in mud. His plight was dis. covered by soldiers, who rescued him.

THE WOMAN IN THE CASE.

1t takes misfortune to show the
stuff of which men and women are
made, and stress of circumstances
ofttimes develops heroism in unex-
pected quarters. We are prone to
look upon the woman Graded in lux
ury as a spineless creature, but the
plucky fight which Mrs. C. w. Morse
is making for her husbands liberty
which Ada Patterson tells all about
in Human Life for March-will alter
this opinion.
At the beginning of the bankers
troubles Mrs Morse was not so large
a figure on the horizon of his hopes
not until after he had been in the
Tombs for some months and she had
performed a feat which his attorney
had declared to be impossible.
When the avalanche of ruin came,
and all the glittering prizes of life
had seemingly slipped from her
grasp, the gold of her character and
her strength and resourcefulness
came to the surface, and her hus-
band in his dreary cell is building
his hopes on the unique and far
reaching work that she is directing
from her little Office in Wall street
The story also discloses a banling
mystery in the life of this woman, in
connection with which one of New
York's sharpest lawyers was given a
vacation, at the city's expense, at
Blackwelrs Island
Altogether her life has been a
strange mosaic of light and shadow,
of splendor and despair. It makes
an interesting story.

INSPECTOR SEXES CATTLE.
brought Over From Galilee, This
County.

Considerable excitement was
created in Callicoon last week by
the seizure of alleged diseased cattle
! by a State Inspector.
The population here was about
evenly divided as to whether the cat
| tie we're diseased or not; and yet,
no one seemed to be absolutely sure
about it-not even the inspector
himself for he seized the cattle and
then concluded he was wrong and
let them go.
Not since the Game Wardeus came
here and put a crimp in the eel mar
ket has there been so much street
gossip and palaver about a local
affair.
John Walker, of Galilee, owns
large dairy, and sometime ago some
of his cattle apparently contracted
a contagious disease He separated
the infected cows from the herd and
doctored them for some time, but
without much success, according to
his belief
They gradually grew worse and,
in consideration of the fact that he
really believed that they were dis
eased, he decided to sell them for
whatever purpose they could be used
He accordingly sought buyers, and
V. p. ("Tine") Scheidell, of Jeffer-
sonville, made him the best offer,
$22 per head for twelve well-bred
Holstine cows. Mr. Walker claim
ed that he sold the COWS as diseased
cattle.
According to reports of local "ex-
perts," some of the cows, were cas-
lily worth $50 head. providing they
were in good health.
On Wednesday Scheidell drove the
cattle from the Walker farm to the
Delaware House stables, preparatory
to shipping them to the abattoir in
Jersey City.
In the meantime State Inspector
Fulton, a former Sheriff, who
runs a store at Wurtsboro, happen
ed on the scene and, claiming that
the cattle were diseased, took charge
of them.
1t is said that Inspector Fulton
came here to look into a bob veal
case, but the wise ones say that he
was informed that these cattle were

Representative Macon, of Georgia,
has nominated Commodore Peary
for membership in the Ananias
Club" claiming that his right to
membership is indisputable and can
be substantiated by his own record
of the distance which he travelled
after leaving Capt. Bartlett, in his
final dash to the pole. While with
Capt. Bartlett and a strong support
ing party, he only averaged 900
miles day. After leaving Bartlett
and with no white man as a witness,
he claims to have travelled an aver
age of 26 u miles per day. The
Commodore, in a letter to General
Greedy, written in 1904, claims that
IA miles a day would be a good
average. Edward Payson Weston,
the greatest walker in the world, a
trained athlete, unencumbered with
any load, travelling over smooth
graded roads, paved streets, etc, did
not average over 40 miles a day in
his journey from Boston to San
Francisco. Evidently the intense
cold of the North sOlidifies human
effort TO he truthful, to such an ex-
tent that the circulation of that vir-
tue is greatly destroyed in the souls
of men who are seeking for a fame
that can be retailed out at so much

Continue to feel mean, ugly, mis-
cradle or disguised, and you will
finally look these things. Continue
to feel disagreeable every hour for
a year, or even less, and you will
not only look disagreeable, but you
will become ! personally repulsive.
These are well-known facts; but the
law works both ways. Continue to
feel within yourself all those quail
ties that naturally attract admira-
ton, and you will become so attrac-
tive, first in your nature and then
also in your personality, that you
will attract the admiration of every
person you meet Continue to feel
any desirable quality, and that quail
jty, will become living power in
your nature. Later it will express
itself in your personality, and you
will look what you feel. This feel
ing, however, must be continuous;
It must become habitual and subcon-
scious, and must be thoroughly alive
every hour.
