Chocolate at First pIslIked.

Chocolate was regarded as an in.
vention of the devil by considerable
class in England during the seven
tenth century. A formidable treatise
was written In order to denounce the
use of the beverage by monks. The
treatise appeared in 1924, but the
monks saw to it, by destroying every
copy that came their way, that it's
circulation was small and brief Choc-
olate houses succeeded coffee houses
in London as centers Of a supposed
greater refinement although Roger
North describes them as centers for
the benefit Of "rooks and ouliies of
quality, where gaming is added to all
the rest" and where plots against
the state were Matched BY idle fel
lows.

EASY ONE FOR PROPHET"
Congressman Coined Eplgram and
Stated Absolute Fact In One
Brief Word.

Congressman Homer Bulb Of Ne
vada was famed in his day at Wash
ington as a raconteur and epigram-
matist. Whenever he sat down in the
lobby of the Dingle house, his head
quarters at the capital, he was sure
to gather about him in no time a group
of friends and acquaintances and to
convulse them over and over again
with, his sallies.
One of these, the butt of which was
Senator Montgomery Twell, is par
ticularly we'll remembered by the
Dingle's Old Guard.
The senator entered the hotel one
evening, looked long and solemnly at
the skies, which were cloudy, and then
remarked TO Congressman Bulb in a
tone of railery:
We'll, Bulb, know you pride your
self on being a prophet. What sort
of a day do you think we'll have to-
morrow"
Wednesday" replied Congressman
Bulb.
Among those who heard him was
Col. Anthony Batherswyck, the civil
war veteran, who lost no time in tell
ing the quip all over Washington.

Sioux City, Ia. Oct. 5.-Having

to spend the day with him. Frank
Larson, farmer living near Lyons,
Neb., took him into a room apart
from the rest of the family and shot
him through the heart. He then ran
out of the house, hailed passing

tending to some business without
speaking of the tragedy, he hunted
up the village marshal and told his
story. There was no quarrel. it is
said, and no motive for the crime is

SCIENTIFIC POINT CLEARED UP
Size Of Water Particles Now Known
to Change With the Age
Of Clouds.

II seems rather singular to speak
Of the "age OF clouds"-of "old clouds"
and young Clouds" yet II really APP
pears that such a distinction can be
made, and that the discovery, as 30
frequently happens in matters scien-
tifc, was based upon a preceding mis-
take.
The conclusion was reached years
ago in scientific quarters that the
density Of a cloud was proportioned to
the number Of water particles 1t con-
tanned, the water particles, in turn,
depending upon the particles OF dust
present. Later, however, these same
authorities ascertained that their first
conclusion was wrong. and that In
many clouds the density falls far short
of proportionality with the number OF
water particles. Further investiga-
ton points to the fact that the size
Of the water particles changes with
the "age" of the cloud. The clouds
upon which the first observations were
made must, It is thought, have been
old clouds, and in them the water
particles, being comparatively large,
appeared to be proportional to the
density. But the later observations
were made upon newly-formed or
young clouds, in which the particles
were small in size.

HAMS, A PRISONER,
SUING FOR DIVORCE
Woman on Account OF Wtlpm He
Killed w. E. Annis Withdraws
Her Action.

New York, Aug. 1S.-The suit of
Captain Peter c. Hains against his
wife for divorce was called for trial
before Justice Scudder in Brooklyn
yesterday afternoon The captain is
in Sing Sing. where he is serving a
sentence of eight years for killing VIII
liam E. Annis. The attentions paid to
Mrs. Hams, that caused Captain Hams
to kill Annis at the Bay Side Yacht
club in August, 1908. are the grounds
for the action. Annis, now dead Chree
years, was set up as the correspond
ent Both Thornton Hams, the nov
elist, and brother of the captain, who
was with him when the fatal shots
were fired, and the father, General
Hams, who makes his home near
Sandy Hook, were in court in charge
of the case. Captain Hains began the
action against his wife some time ago.
Papers were served on her, though
none Of those in court could tell where
she is at this time. Then, through
counsel, she made answer, denying the
charges in general terms, and asking
for alimony. That motion was argued
in court. but the alimony was denied.
Later. for a reason none of the law
yers explained, the answer of the wife
was withdrawn.

they Immediately arrest the persons
guilty of burning Zach Walker last
Sunday night or he will make the
arrests with the aid of the state
troops. The governor learned that
prominent Chester county politicians
assisted in the mobbing of the ne
gro and this was the reason for the
lack Of activity on the part Of GER
tain high officials. He said to Dis
trict Attorney Gawthrop OF Chester
county yesterday:
1.-The guilty must be punished,
even though the guilty man was the
political boss of the county"
The district attorney and Major
Groome, superintendent of the state

action he would turn loose the state
police with orders to round up if
possible every member of Sunday

Organization.
ADMINISTRATION is STRONG
Defeats Amendment Providing for
Disbarment Of Member of
"Inside'' Societies.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. IS
International typographical union
convention settled down to business
for today's session 1t was to renew
a struggle upon the result OF which
the retention in office of President
Lynch was said to depend. The ad-
ministration forces won a decisive
victory yesterday when they defeat
ed the proposed amendment that
provided the barring from office of
any member found guilty OF violat-
ing the law prohibiting participation
in secret organizations within the
union. The fight reopened today
when the arbitration agreement and
piece work subject were called up
for consideration.
INSURGENTS" LOSE OUT.
The "insurgent' element of tho
typographical union, in session here,
was defeated at every turn yester-
day.
The main issue was an amendment
proposed by e. T. Cusick Of Jackson
Vile, Fla, providing that unions
with 100 members or less be entitled
to one delegate; unions Of 100 to
800 members to two delegates, but
those with 500 to 1000 members be
allowed three delegates. Opponents
Of the proposal contended that such
a rule would enable the large unions
to dominate the convention. Oscar
o. Hyler of Washington offered an
amendment to remove the national
headquarters from Indiana TO Wash
ington. This also was defeated. The
ballot for the site of the next con-
vention of the union failed to re-
suit in a choice. Cleveland led by
a few votes, but a majority of votes
is required.
