Malin (Danish).
1t is curious to notice how far more
popular Magdel is than Martha, the
original Magdalen's sister. There are
fewer girls named "Matty" or Patty
nowadays than formerly. The Irish
Nab is considered by some to be
contraction of Martha, which the
Welsh. strangely enough, pronounce
t"Mor," but nearly every language has
a dignified synonym for Magdalen.
Magdalen in art: Very lovely are the
pictures of Magdalen bequeathed to
us by the great artists of bygone days,
Correggio. Italian, Rubens, VanDyke.
etc. The best known is Titian's master
piece. representing a beautiful woman
with uplifted fearful face and eyes, her
undraped shoulders enveloped In her
rich golden hair. Titan painted a Sec
ond famous picture of Magdalen now
at the Hermitage in Sa- Petersburg In
this picture the skull and open book
are introduced as attributes.
The death of Magdalen," now at
Lille, France, was painted by Reubens-
Magdalen is the title OF an amusing
play by Moliere, but the lady thought
the name not romantic enough and
called herself 'Po1ixena-"

wedding ring on the fourth finger of

Egyptians, from whom the Greeks Dor
rowed the custom and handed il TO the
Romans. The fourth finger was dedf-
Gated to Apollo. Gold was a symbol of
the sun. 1t was believed that ApolIo's

MAC VEAGH TELLS
Of CUSTOM FRAUDS
Reveals How Chicago Firm Gave
Him Clue.
BIG "CLEANlNG UP" EFFECTED
Secretary of the Treasury Makes Pub
lie Stenographic Report of Con.
eressionaI Hearing - Many
Seek to EVade Duty.

WASHINGTON. - Remarkable reve-
lations of the work of Secretary
of the Treasury MacVeagh in eradi-
eating gigantic frauds from the United
States customs service and of the as
sistance given him by Chicago firms
and citizens are contained in docu-
ment made public.
The document is a stenographic
record of a hearing in which Mr..
MacVeagh testified before the house
committee on expenditures in the
treasury department.
The tremendous cleaning up OF
frauds in the customs service which
the secretary has accomplished was
briefly sketched for the benefit OF the
committee. Most of these instances
never became public. More than
100000 in fines and penalties was
collected from English wooden manu-
facturers and American importers.
The Panama hat frauds were dis
covered through information given
Mr. MacVeagh by Marshall Field &
Co. This firm imported its first lot
of Panama hats a year and nall
ago. They were passed through the
Chicago customs house on the con-
sular invoice.
Shortly afterwaTd the firm received
a second invoice showing a so per
cent. higher valuation. A cabled in
uuiry to Peru brought the information
that the firm was to pay for the hats
on the second invoice, the first being
for customs duty purposes solely, and
the message added: What every
body does"
The Chicago firm then presented
the second invoice at the custom
house and paid the full duty.
The secretary said that hitherto
not only sugar but every other kind
of merchandise had been underweight-
ed at New York and the government
heavily defrauded right and left"
There was a tremendous amount
of corruption there" he said, "and on
the passenger docks.

WOULD PROBE CAUSE
OF PANIC OF 1907
Senator Owen Believes Financial Pow
ers Engineered Deal and Made
Vast Profits Thereby.

Washington.-A resolution offered
in the Senate by Senator Owen
of Oklahoma may lead to an investiga-
ton into the causes leading up to the
panic of 1907 and the benefits secured
from it by persons or corporations.
Immediate consideration was not
asked. The resolution named as an in
vestigating committee Senators Kern
of Indiana, Works of California, Reed
of Missouri, Page of Vermont and
Clark of Wyoming.
Il believe the panic of 1907 was
brought about by deliberate con-
spiracy for enrichment of those who
engineered it, said Senator Owen.
Such a conspiracy ought not to go
unrebuked. l regard 1t as treason
against the United States. There are
now a comparatively few men who
control the power of expanding or
contracting credits This unrestrained
power to contract credits means the
power to create panics and to coerce
this country politically"
Senator Owen said he would call
up his resolution at some future time
and urge the appointment of the pro
posed committee of investigation.
Congress should go to the bottom
of the financial conditions, however
long or expensive the investigation
may be-" said Senator Owen. Such
conditions as I believe inspired and
controlled the panic of 1907 should be
known to all the people"

U. p. TO REDUCE PAY ROLL.
Order for Retrenchment Has Gone Out
$500 20 Be Laid Off.


Omaha, Neb., Aug. 21.-Because the
Hartman railroads have made no
money for the last ten months, gen
eral order for retrenchment has gone
out. The Union Pacific railroad will
lay off $500 employees, reaching from
one end of the system to the other
and affecting every department of the
road, with the exception of the operat-
ing force. No trains have been or
dered discontinued, and probably will
not be, according to officials of the
road.
Clerks from all the Offices of the road
from Chicago, Omaha, Kansas City,
Denver and other points are scheduled
to go, as are workmen from every shop
owned by the railroad. High officials,
as we'll as clerks, will feel the reduc-
ton.
The action is said to be due to the
fact that since last October business
has been steadily declining, and that
each succeeding month has seen drop
in earnings.

Avoid Disputatjon.

The disputatious person never makes
good friend. In friendship, men
look for peace and concord and some
measure of content There are
enough battles to fight outside, enough
Earring and jostling in the street.
enough disputing in the market place,
enough discord in the workaday
world, without having to look for con-
tention in the realm of the inner life
also. There, If anywhere, we ask for
an end of strife. Friendship is the
sanctuary of the heart, and the peace
of the sanctuary should brood over it.
Its chiefest glory is that the dust and
noise of contest are excluded.-Hugb
