SENSATIONAL RISE
IN GEORGETOWN GAS
OF 25PO|NTSASHARE
No Good Reason for the
Gain-Supply of Floating
Stock Is Light.

Georgetown Gas sprung the surprise
of the day and the season on the local
Stock Exchange when 1t Jumped IL to
Is points, as compared with the price
that has been current for the last sixty
days or longer, and at which stock ac-
tually sold yesterday-$f0O a share
But worse and worse and more Of 1t,
H3 a share was bid and 500 a share
asked In the official closing.
What's the cause Of the rise? There's
no use asking the men identified with
the Gas Company. One Of these days
the tail will probably wag the dog, that
is. the Georgetown Gas Company will
be the medium for the consolidation Of
both companies, but II is not matter
of the near future-probably not for
over a year. The company has Its bur-
dens mapped out for 1t, with the new
bond issue and lower prices for gas and
this despite economies that have been
put in practice.
OF course, the holdings of the Wash
ington Gas Light Company and the off,
cials of the Georgetown Gas Light Com
pany in the stock of the latter corpora
ton is SO large that the floating supply
of stock has been reduced to practically
nil. although the present advance ought
to bring some out of iron boxes that
is yellow with age. Thomas L. Hume
was the buyer.

EASY WAY TO WEALTH.
Kansas Towns Being Worked by
Smooth diamond Lady"

When the diamond LADY, who
was detained by the officers at Law
renee on Saturday afternoon left for
Kansas City, having satisfied the Of
ficers at Lawrence as to her business,
the officers In Kansas City were no
: titled OF her coming, and when she
arrived in Kansas City she was met
by her husband whose name is given
as Isaac Goldblatt, of Chicago, and
Kansas City police officers WHO took
both before the chief Of police to
he questioned.
They had not heard that there
had been a diamond robbery in Kan
sas City, but they were loaded with
diamonds. The man, who said his
name was Isaac Goldblatt OF Chi
cago, had leather belt around his
waist which had several hundred dia-
monds in 1t and in one Of his coat
pockets was a bag full Of diamonds,
ali OF them mounted, while in his
hip pocket he had a leather case with
$4,000 worth Of diamonds in 1t.
His wife had at least $1,000 worth
OF diamonds In her black leather
handbag. They told the Kansas City
chief Of police the following extra
ordinary story, although the woman |
refused to talk while in Lawrence.
In Chicago they have 1ewelry
factory. They import $200, 1000 worth
of diamonds q year and they are
mounted in earrings, brooches. rings
and bracelets. The brooches are all
alike. Everyone Is set with nine
diamonds and costs $65. They start
out from Chicago with hundreds of
the brooches and other articles. He
takes one route and sells to the
trade. She takes another route. She
goes to q town and into pawnshop
or jeweiry store and lays upon
the counter card with the name
''Miss Lilly Finney," printed on It.,
and the additional information that
she represents manufacturer of pens
in Ohio. She lays down one OF the
brooches and says:
II am stranded here II must
have $165 to pay my bills and get
back home. l want to borrow 1t on
that breach"
n the jeweler lends her that
amount she is just 500 ahead. II
he refuses to lend that much she
lakes a pair Of earrings from her
sars and lays them beside the brooch.
L he still refuses, she slips diamond
ring from her finger and puts 1t along
Ilde the earrings and brooch, and II
he is still stubborn she adds to 1t
/ bracelet set with two diamonds,
lrOm her wrist. II the jeweler lendS
her $166 on the whole bunch OF
ewels she is SIS ahead.
The woman told the Kansas CITY
,hlef OF police that last week she
borrowed $165 on one Of the brooch
% at Goodland, Kan; in Norton,
Kansas, she did the same; in Man
rato she got S165 for a brooch,
,aIr Of earrings and bracelet; In
concordia she got $1d5 on the
,rooch alone, and In Lawrence when
he offered to pawn one Of the
bracelets to a jeweler for s16b and
10 refused and after she had gone
le sent for the sheriff and told him
he brooch was easily worth $500.
In all their experience Saturday
vas the second time they had ever
'een interfered with by the officers.

CONGRESS GETS
NEW JAPAN TREATY
taft Lays Before Senate Pro,
posed Convention.
OPPOSITION SEEMS CERTAIN
All Reference TO Restriction OF Japan
csc immigration Is Omitted, Which
Will Probably Develop
Western Hostility.

Washington.-Pre Taft has
laid before the senate the text OF the
new treaty between the United States
and Japan, which is intended to take
the place Of the convention OF 1894
and which has been drawn with the
idea of eliminating the restrictions
upon emigration of Japanese which
are contained in the present treaty.
The essential difference between
the proposed treaty and the existing
convention is said to be in the fact
that it omits all reference to such re-
strictions and leaves to the national
honor of Japan the enforcement at her
own ports Of the limitations upon emil
grafton from Japan now expressly
placed upon immigration into the
United States.
The document is said to provide
that either country may denounce the
treaty at the end of six months If it
fails to operate as expected.
Because it embodies this radical de
parture from the existing treaty and
touches the question of the deepest
Importance and interest to the Pacific
slope, the injection of this convention
into the closing hours of the Sixty
first congress created a sensation.
This new treaty is one Of trade and
commerce" intended 20 replace the
treaty of 1894 negotiated by Secretary
Gresham and Baron Kurino, then jap
anese minister to the United States.
That treaty is most comprehensive
document, comprising twenty articles,
dealing with trade, commerce and
navigation, rights of dwelling, import
and export duties, tonnage dues, port
regulations, assertions, shipping
rights, consular functions and other
subjects.

The government considers the tone
of the Chinese reply to the Russian
note demanding a closer adherence to
the provisions of the treaty of 1881, af-
fecting Mongolia and Chinese Turke-
stan, most conciliatory and satisfac-
tory. AS a whole the note handed to
Russian Minister Korotovitz at Picking
is regarded as evidence of desire up
on the part of China to satisfy all the
Russian demands. Some details, it was

tions, which, it is expected, will lead
to the removal of the difficulties be-
tween the two governments at an early

Liberty Without BIoodshed.

The present emperor of Japan vir-
tually forced constitutional govern
ment upon his people, says Adachi
Kinnosuke in an article on the emper-
or of Japan. It was original on
monarch's part; absolutely without
precedent. Elsewhere, even in the
homes of Christian enlightenment,
blood has ever been the price that
people paid for their charter of lib
erty-witness the struggle with King
John. the American war of Indepen-
dence, the French revolution. When
the Japanese emperor wished to limit
his own absolute powers and give US
constitutional liberty, the people did
not want it; they did not understand
it; they we're entirely Indifferent
about about it; they accepted it out
Of respect to his majesty's wishes.
On Feb. II. 1889, the constitution Of
the empire was promulgated. It pass
ed into history as the first and the
only bloodless Magma Charta known

SUCCESS IN LIFE DESERVED
Orphan Girls Career Shows what
May Be Done With Pluck
and Energy.

An orphan girl, left to shift for
herself early in life, saved and ap-
piled three separate educational funds
before she got where she wanted TO be.
The first was made up of money she
earned at odd jobs.
When her widowed mother died the
girl, then IL years old, found home
with a married sister, who boarded her
and gave her some clothing in return
for her services. She worked at what
ever her hand could be turned to in
the little town where her sister lived,
saving every dollar she could and put
ting it into the savings bank. Before
she was Is she had enough to take a
course in dressmaking, and after fol
lowing that a couple of years set out
in the world for herself, going to
large city, where she got a place IN
fashionable dressmaker's establish
ment
City life soon gave her larger ambl-
tions, and when she had saved enough
money she took a course Of training
that fitted her to become a profess
siOnal nurse.
This paid better and also opened up
further fields of endeavOr. By THRIFT
and the skillfuI use of every opportu-
nifty she saved enough money to take
q full course in a medical school.
While she was at college work was
incessant and funds often ran danger
Ously low; but she stuck to 1t plucklly
and helped herself along by her knowE
edge of nursing. Today she is full
f1edged physician, and is just coming
into a profitable practice in a large
city.-Saturday Evening Post.

AGREE ON TWO DREADNoueHTs.
Navy Is to Be Augmented by Power
full War Craft.

Washington.-Two of the most pow
erful battleships ever conceived in the
mind of man will be added to the
United States navy. The naval appro-
priation bill as agreed to provides for
the construction of the two battle
ships, two feet golfers, eight torpedo
boat destroyers and four submarine
torpedo-boats.
The new battleships will have II
14-inch rifles, the heaviest battery
ever place on a ship in this country
or in the world. These guns will be
arranged in four turrets, three guns
in each turret This arrangement is
entirely new.
The big sea fighters will cost $10,-
100000 each and will bring the naval
strength of the United States a close
second to Great Britain so far as de-
structive power is concerned. When
the new ships are completed it will
give the United States % battleships
against the SO of the British navy,
which are for the most part of less
modern design and therefore inferior
in fighting operations.
Japan and Russia are at present to
duplicate the ships authorized by the
house.

IMMENSE SLIDE FILLS
CUT IN PANAMA CANAL
All Theories and Estimates Are Upset
by Descent of 100000 Cubic
Yards of Material.

Colon, Panama = The pioneer
cut, just opposite the town OF
Culebra, has 100000 cubic yards of rock
and earth In it, the result OF mysteri-
GUS slide, which has upset all theories
and all estimates.
1t is one of the worst slides the
canal commission engineers have had
to contend with. 1t is worse than any
previous slide, from the fact that
others could be explained or even
predicted.
The latest avalanche of earth
changes canal plans materially. 1t
makes it seem necessary that the en-
tire prism shall be enlarged sufficient
ly 20 prevent any occurrences OF the
sort after the completion of the canal.
There seems to be no doubt that all
of Gold Hill will have to be removed,
which in itself is a considerable I'M
dertaking, and $4,000 yards of the
slide itself represents waste. The re-
| mainder it was intended to remove.
1t always has been held that slides
were caused when heavy rainfall
made the earth suggy, and the sloping
beds of rock beneath slippery. But
the Gold Hill slide is without prece-
| dent There have been no heavy
rains in this section for six weeks
and there has been no blasting In the
vicinity for more than year
