 N R. JOSEPH BELL. the distin- | guished Scottish surgeon and the
 original of Sir A. Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes," died yesterday at his residence, Mauricewood Milton Bridge. Midlothian. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has sent a message of sympathy to an Edin- bureh evening paper explaining that he did not know pr. Bell personally, but only as professor. Dr. Bell, who was born in 1887, came of family which for three generations had been distinguished in sur gery. For a quarter of a century he was surgeon at the Royal infirmary, Edin- burgh, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle then young man, was one of his students He was greatly impressed by his profess soi's display of inductive reasoning and he has told many stories in illustration of them.
 Many stories are told of pr. Bells won der1ul powers of observation and analyti- cal reasoning. For instance, he could tell from the mud on patients boots the rart of the city or surrounding country he had come from When giving gratui- tous advice to outdoor patients at the Ed inhurgh Royal infirmary, he was fond of mystifying them by giving them little intimate tidbits regarding their occupa- ton or past lives. T see," he would ob- serve slyly to a patient, you are suffer- ing from drink; you even carry flask in the inside breast pocket of your coat Thow it away" To another he would nonchalantly remark: "Cobbler, I see," having quickly observed the mark where

 Of Supreme Court Justice John Mar shall Harlan, who was a rare Kentucky gentleman in every sense of the word, a legal friend told this story at the Man. hattan club last night:
 ''The justice was travelling to the west. He entered the smoking compartment of the Pullman to get drink of water. As he lifted the glass he sniffed suspicious ly. Turning to the three men in the room he said: It seems to me that some one has been drinking liquor out of this glass.
 'Yes-er-sir.' stammered a little man in the corner! I used the glass for that purpose.
 Raising his voice, the justice asked:
 "'Well, where did you hide the bot tle?"

tional convention,' said Arthur r Newton of Kentucky.
 Now. while il Is true that the re- publicans have a way of following the party leader. there have been times when some became dsaffeeted and either stayed away from the polls or voted the democratic ticket. . It was so, believe. in 1881. l know it was that way in 1892, and, I believe, it will be that way in 1912. The democrats have d fine chance of winning next year If they put out d good ticket I think it a safe bet that the next President will be a democrat"

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 Cold reason is a poor stimulant for af- lection.
 A man can lie to people without ever realizing they are doing it to him.
 The reason girl is so sure to be able to fool man is he's so sure she can't.
 All-women have faith enough for long endurance; few men have endurance enough for long faith.
 The time man begins to fear for the future of his country Is when he fears he is going to lose job i'll the election.

She would go away still mar yelling at tho intuition of the gerat sur- geon, having no idea that there could be any significance in the brilliant tartan cape she had bought with such pardon able extravaganza for her firstborn. Then a bricklayer would appear in the consult- ing room suffering from spinal complaint, and the doctors kindly sympathy was instant and comprehensive. Tt aches. does it?

 Dr. Bell was well aware of the part he had played in creating the great detective of fiction, and was proud of the fact One winter evening some ladies were sitting around the fire reading and discussing Conan Doyles hero when there entered the great surgeon. He asked what they were reading, and they told him that it WIS the Adventures of Sherlock Holiness T know the man." observed the doctor quietly.

Reciprocity Bill.
TRYING TO FIX DATE FOR VOTE
prose Draws Up Agreement For
Unanimous Consent to Vote on Pact
July "a and Tariff Bills the Two Fol.
lowing Days.

Washington, June q. The Root
amendment to the Canadian reciproc-
ity bill was defeated in the senate.
: 4 1EiI 90 ss.--e+ - 92c o. Inc most seri'
Gus menaces to the bill, and the indf
cations are now that the reciprocity
bill has free sailing and will pass
without amendment at an earlier date
than had been expected,
The Root amendment went down to
defeat without any record vote, no roll
call having been demanded. The vice
president simply stated the question,
there was mild chorus of ayes" and
a louder chorus of 'noes,' and Mr..
Sherman declared the amendment
lost The few who were in favor of
the amendment apparently had no de-
sire to put individual senators upon
record.
The Root amendment proposed to
delay free admission of wood pulp and
print paper into this country until all
restrictions against the expectation of
these products had been removed by
the Canadian provinces. Under the
terms of the bill in its present form
pulp and print paper will be admitted
free from all provinces except those
that maintain export restrictions.
Steps were taken looking toward the
fixing of date for voting upon the
reciprocity and other tariff measures.
An agreement was drawn up by Chair
man PenrOse, of the finance commit
tee, and submitted to a number Of
senators on both sides of the cham
ber
This agreement proposed that a
vote should be taken by immediate
bill on July q, on the farmers free
list on the following day and on the
Underwood wool bill on July 26.
There was considerable interest
manifested on the floor when Senator
Penrose produced this document. He
took it to the vice president, and the
two retired to the rear of the senate
chamber and began summoning sena-
tors to take look at it.
Senator Martin, of Virginia, the mi
nority leader, was called in, but was
not very much disposed to acquiesce
IN it, Other Democratic leaders, in
Guiding Senator Williams, of Missis
sippi, were consulted. Senator Smoot,
of Utah: Senator Root and Senator
Sutherland had a look at the docu
ment Sers or Penrose felt rather
cheerful nen the senate adjourned
and said he would probably submit the
agreement to the senate and ask for
unanimous consent that it be made
the standing order of business.
The progressive Republicans when
they learned of the agreement were
somewhat startled. They held hurried
conferences, and the indications are
that even if the Democrats acquieSce
in the agreement a number of the pro
gresSiVc senators viii stand Ou'
against it. In such contingency the
agreement will fail.
