The Hartford Herald has adopted
new rule in regard to Obituaries.
Resolutions of Respect, Cards Of
Thanks, &C., whether written at the
the behest of lodges, churches or in
dividuals, and that is, we shall
charge at the rate of two cents per
line for all such articles, except obit-
uary poetry, which will be one cent
per word, straight. This is the small
est rate we charge for anything and
is only one-ffth of our regular rate.
The amount, In cash or stamps,
must accompany each article, or
1t will not be printed. Six
words average line In ordi-
nary reading and every separate
character or initial letter counts as
a word. The heading and the sig
nature both count one line each,
even If they are only word or two
All obituary poetry, straight
through, one cent per word.
Our old rule in regard to Obitua-
ries, &C. was $50 words free, balance
cent a word, but this did not prove
satisfactory because the bounds were
almost always overstepped, and we
have been forced to adopt this new
rule, which is in effect from now on.
Contributors will please remember.

WE'RE BORN TOGETHER
PLAN TO CUT APART

New Orleans, La, Jan. 1.-Two
Filipino children, bound together
by tissue very much in the same way
as the Siamese twins, have been
brought to this city by DR.. j. II. Dun
ming, of Los Angeles, and j. R.
Louis. of Manila, with the view of
consulting surgeons, to consider the
question of separating them.
The children are 21a years old
and seem to be two entirely separate
entities, the connecting portion being
merely a membrane that seems to
be very elastic. One got the mea-
sles, which did not effect the other.
Both were vaccinated at the same
time. 1t took" on one but not the
other. Surgeons here have so far
refused to cut them apart.

HOW CHAMP CLARK GOT
HIS FAMOUS COGNOMEN

The next Speakers full nome Is
James Beauchamp Clark. When he
went out into the world he discover
ed that Clark was the sixth most
common name in America, and that
James was nearly as prevalent as
John or the measles. James B. also
was curiously numerous, and James
B. Clark far from unusual. In the
young mans town was a man of that
name who used to get his letters and
throw them away. This was very
annoying. So the future statesman
dropped James and became Beau
champ Clark. Beauchamp is a we'll
known name out West. They pro-
nounce it "Beecham," like that OF
the Englisman who makes pills. Now,
one of the incoming Speakers hob
bies is accurate expression, and it
irritated him to be called Beecham.
when he should have been called
Boshom, with the accent on the
shom. PainstakiRg investigation r.
nally convinced him that only a
Frenchman could say it properly,
anyway, so he made up his mind to
drop one of the syllables, and after
due consideration he picked Beau"
as the one to go. Since then he has
been plain Champ Clark, and is so
designated almost Invariably. We
hear OF Representative Underwood.
Congressman Payne, &C., but never
of Representative or Congressman
Clark. It is always Champ Clark,
as if hyphenated, with accent on the

SILENCE OF 90 YEARS
BROKEN AT DEATHS HOUR

English, Ind, Jan. 14.-Breaking
silence of so years, Philip Burk-

hours later he died of heart failure.
Burkhardt had been insane more
than so years, it is said.
1t is related by the near relati-

was the result of fear of witches. He
never issued from his home at night

Contemplating the POss-
Utility of War.
SUCH ARE LATEST ADVICES
From War Department Re.
cruitS Not Sufficient to
Justify Demands.
ENLIsTMENTs ARE NUMEROUS

Capt. oliver H. Dockery, Jr., Unit
ed States Army, the recruiting Off
Ger for the Northern Kentucky and
Southern Indiana district, whose
headquarters are at $40 West Green
street in this city, has received from
the War Department at Washington
the most urgent orders to use every
possible effort to obtain more re-
cruits to fill up the army.
The orders are the most direct
and positive that have been issued to
the recruiting officers since 1898,
Just before the -SPanish-Am erican
War. One quotation from the order
is as follows:
Recruits are not now received in
sufficient quantities to maintain the
army at its present strength for
emergencies. 1t is therefore i'm
portant that recruiting be developed
to the utmost extent"
Capt. Dockery does not think that
it means anything of war-like ma
ture, nor the possibility of trouble,
which the general staff of the army
may be preparing in time to meet
He thinks it is simply a movement
to fill up to their full strength
number of regiments which will be
sent to the Philippine Islands, Ha-
wall and Alaska. But there exists
a general impression that possibly
on account of the trouble along the
Mexican border, or probably the
alert altitude OF Japan, the War De-
partment forecasts a rising war
cloud in the political horizon.
This, in connection with the secret
emergency report recently submit
ted by the Secretary of War to the
House of Representatives. has Great
ed general public comment as to the
meaning of it all. The report to
Congress was withdrawn and its pub
LEGATION was suppressed, but it leak
ed out that among the things mem
toned was the fact that the United
States at present is not prepared to
prevent an invasion on the Pacific
coast.
AS a result of the extra efforts put
forth by the local recruiting Office in
compliance with these very urgent
orders, the output of the Louis
Vile district increased from twenty
seven enlistments in November to
seventy-one in December, and prom
Use a proportionally large increase in
January. The least war talk or
chance to see active service always
stirs up the patriotic fighting boys of

absence of proof to break down an
alibi, the son would not be put under
suspicion. 1t has been regarded as
strange by many that the son should
ride out into the country and spy his
fathers body on a deserted hillside
and return to the city for help be-
fore going to see whether or not It
was his fathers body. Why the son
did not go into the woods and inves-
tigate; why he returned to the city
before he knew his father was dead;
why he did not find out if the parent
was merely wounded and probably
in need of immediate aid, are uues-
tions, which, while they battle the
officials, yet are not regarded as
pointing to guilt, because young
Thompson had raised an alibi. The
clerks in the store state that young
Thompson came to the store within
five minutes after his father left, and
was there until the search for Mr..
Thompson began.

When the beer, which some one

to have anything to do with it,
but the other-Private Keith
took the notice, which read

Great Salt Lake.

The waters of this lake are
very heavy and roll with a lazy
motion, but with tremendous
force. A person can lie fiat on
his back in the water and third
Of his body will still be above
the surface. He floats like a
cork, the only difficulty being
that as his head is heavier than
the rest he is constantly trying
to stand on it, which is not good
for his breathing apparatus, since
single inhalation of the salty
water will cause serious though
rarely fatal Inflammation of the
lungs. The water is full of ami
NAL life, even when it is at satur-
alton, but the life is confined to
little shrimp about fourth of
an inch long and little worm,
the larvae of q fly which feeds on
the shrimp, and a few species of
alga on which the shrimps feed.
No other living thing EXISTS in
the water, but these are enough,
for there are hundreds of shrimps
in every bucket of water. Ex-
cept when milky with shrimp
eggs, the water is as clear as
crystal,
