A Wiley Witticism.

The night that famous men debated,
at the National Press club, in Wash
ington, on whether whiskers or bald
ness formed the greater handicap to
great careers, the speeches were limit
ed to ten minutes each, and DR..
Harvey w. Wiley, the pure-food ex-
pert, was timekeeper.
"Only one minute more!" he called
out to Representative Nicholas Long
worth, who was arguing that bald
head Is a fine thing to carry through
the world.
Does that minute include these un'
solicited Interruptions? asked Long
worth.
'You bet it does" replied Wiley

the best part of the speeches. "-Popu

for newly arrested persons. Some
eight hundred prisoners, under a
strong escort, were sent from Odessa
to Siberia. In the same month the
trial took place at Kief of the persons
who, about year before, had resisted
the police sent to arrest them for be-
ing in possession of secret printing
press.
General Drenteln had determined to
impress the entire population with the
fact that law and order was to be es-
tablished and the emperor's safety as
sured. He succeeded, apparently, be-
cause it was many years after that
before the hand Of Nihilism was raised
against anyone in authority in the Rus
sian empire.
In the meantime Goldenberg, after
having betrayed hundreds Of his assoc
ciates, was seized with fear and re-
morse, and one morning ended the
whole sombre tragedy by committing
suicide.

A Relic of
Saint Ann

The fathers of the most blessed
sacrament, who have been the keep
ers of the precious relic of st Ann.
since 1900, were tireless in their
preparations for the opening Of the
annual novena of st. Ann when thou
sands of worshippers will begin the
nine days pilgrimage to the shrine
where the relic is kept in the little
church of St Jean BapEste, in East
18th street. The crippled, the blind
and the afflicted in body and soul will
come, as in previous years, to seek
the "favors" of the sanity relic by
pressing it to their lips and having
it applied to their ailing members by
the priests.
Many miraculous cures are record
ed in the annals of the church as a
result of the application of the relic.
The cures are spoken Of by the priests
of the order of the blessed sacrament
as "favors" obtained from God
through the intercession Of st. Ann
Two large racks filed with crutches
braces and other implements used by
the deformed stand on either side OF
the shrine of st. Ann, in the base
ment of the church, as mute testi
monials of the efficacy of the powers
Of the relic. The priests said that
they had burned hundreds Of these
tokens of misshapen humanity, which
were left after the pilgrimage of last
year.
The novena, or nine days Of prayer
is held in preparation for the feast
of St. Ann July &C. The celebration
of the novena this year has a pecu-
liarly pleasant significance to the
priests of the order of the blessed
sacrament at this little church, as ii
marks years progress toward the
construction of a large new church
.ofNSt. Jean Baptiste almost directly
across the street from the present
small brick edif1ce. The gifts OF
money received during this novena
will be applied to the fund for the
new church.
Starting without funds, but with
the profound belief that divine Provi
dence would provide, this little band
of devotees fearlessly pledged them
selves a year ago to build great new
church, which would be the purest ex
ample Of the classic Roman style in
this city, the total cost of which was
estimated at $750,000. They have &C
complished much within years
time. All of the property on the site
needed for the new church, at the
southeast corner of Lexington avenue
and 18th street, has been acquired
and the excavating work for the
building is nearly completed
The new church will be receptacle
for the relic of st. Ann.
The relic of st. Ann is portion
of one of the small bones of her wrist
which was brought from France &c
years ago by the French-Canadian
priests then in charge of the church
here. It has been exposed to the

INSPECTED by Pat.

The commanding officer Of corps
was much troubled about the persist
emit untidiness Of one Of his men. Rep
rimand and punishment were unavail-
ing. The man was incorrigible. A
brilliant idea struck the colonel: "Why
not march him up and down the whole
line Of the regiment, and shame him
into decency?" 1t was done. The
untidy warrior was ordered to ex-
hibit himself, and march up and down
the entire regiment, and the men told
to have a good look at him. The un-
abashed Pat halted, saluted the col
onel, and said in the hearing of the
whole corps, with the utmost sang
froid: "Dhirtiest regiment liver i'm
spected, sorr!"

Clock Made From Scrap Iron.


A coronation memorial was dedi-
Gated at the parish church of Wootton
Rivers, near Marlborough, Wiltshire,
on Sunday, and the memorial is re-
markable proof of the ingenuity of the
villagers. There were not sufficient
funds to pay for a public clock such as
was desired by the people OF the vii
lage, but Mr.. Spratt, who began life
on a farm and who Is self-taught, Of
fered to make a clock free of charge
if he could get some one to do the
heavier work and if the villagers
would bring him all the odd iron, lead,
steel and brass available in the vii
lage with which to make the more
delicate parts.
The villagers entered into the spirit
of the project with zest, and Mr..
Spratt's cottage was soon the scene
of a collection of heterogeneous art1-
cles-parts of agricultural machinery,
bicycles, perambulators, bedsteads,
fire irons. brass weights and other
odds and ends. The two great wheels
of the clock were taken from disused
separators, while the hammer, which
strikes the hours on the largest bell
Of a peal of five is governor ball

dials are made Of iron, enameled with
q white background and black figures
and hands. On one dial is the inscrip-
ton "Glory be to Cod" instead OF the
usual Roman numerals.-London

sea, to blow up the emperor, but it
had been discovered by the police and
the scheme frustrated. The second at
tempt was made by Anthony Solovieff,
former school teacher From read
ing the theories of socialism, he had
gradually accepted the doctrines of
that order and finally became a Mill
list. The perseverance of the man may
be understood when it is known that
he learned the trade of blacksmith in
order that he might come into close
communication with the class Of peo-
pie whose wrongs he sought to right.
He journeyed to ST. Petersburg in the
summer of 1878 for the purpose of
killing the emperor, and haunted the
palace in order to get the opportunity
Of carrying out his design. On the
second of April, 1879, he was in
hiding when Alexander came out to
walk up and down the sidewalk in
front of the palace. Solovieff fired four
shots at the cZar. He was seized i'm
mediately, tried in the following June
and hanged before the month was
over
The third attempt on the life of the
emperor has already been detailed in
the beginning of this article.
Drente1ns first move was to make
a personal investigation of the house
from whence the tunnel had been dug
under the railroad tracks near Mos
cow. 1t was trife better than a
peasants cottage. It was sparse1y
furnished, the floors were bare and
the beds and tables and chairs were
as plain as it was possible to make
them. In the front room he picked up
a copy of ''The Will of the People"
the organ which represented the
Party of Terror" composed of the
most extreme Nihilists.
That, in itself, was not very tan
gible clew. Copies Of that paper, as
well as of Land and Liberty the Or
gan of the most conservative Nihilists,
were constantly being picked up in
different parts Of the empire. The
publication of these papers was treat
ed as treason. Presses were confscat-

LIVING in Japan.

Every item Of everyday life is as
costly in Japan as in Europe or Ameri-
ca, says Japanese paper. A respect
able looking three-story house can be
rented in London at $50 year, while
the same money can rent only a
wretched cottage in Tokyo. Bread,
meat, milk, electricity, gas, perhaps
with the exception of eggs, nothing
is cheaper in Japan. 1t costs far more
to run house in Tokyo than in Lon
don. Wages and salaries are lower
because of misuse of labor and over
abundance Of laborers. What the .Eu-
ropeans move with the derrick men
and women carry on their shoulders;
so necessarily great number of them
must be paid for.

GREAT DAY FOR THE CHINESE

NEW YORK, Jan. Is Everybody
and everything in the little triangular
section of the lower east side which
constitutes New York's Chinatown is
being rehabilitated, for the annual
period of house cleaning, renovating,
settling of accounts and most impor-
tant of all, hair cutting is on At
midnight tonight every man and every
house and shop must be absolutely
clean, wearing new dress and adorned
with decorations of righteousness. and
all outstanding accounts must be paid.
for tomorrow is the beginning of the
Chinese New Year 1912, and the eel.
ebration will be one of unusual sig
nificance as well as of happiness and
good cheer.
Already there is scarcity of fat
little pigs for roasting in the East
side markets. This is because the
Cinnamon have bought them up in ad.
vance for their feasts. There will be
series of progressive banquets, one
after the other in rapid succession
The leaders and other members of
the rival tongs will sit about the
same festal board, for during the New
Year festivities a truce is declared
and the deadly warfare which has cost
the lives of a dozen Cinnamon around
Pell and Mott streets during the past
twelve-morith will be forgotten.
The new moon will appear next
Monday. and on this day of the appear.
ance of the nov moon the Now Year
festivities will be at their height and
the business of queue shipping will
be general. On that day WI, the
greatest of all living Cinnamon, will
sacrifice his queue and all the high.
class Cinnamon throughout the world
Will sacrifice theirs. Already checks
for turns in the chair are being sold
by the celestial BARRIERS and that day
the queues will fall like soldiers on
battlefield exposed before a raking
fire of shot and shell. This universal
sacrifice of the pig TAIL" a Chinese
institution many thousands of years
old, is regarded as the most pronounc
cd step yet taken in the march of

Are You Taking ADVANTAGE of
These Free Votes
STREET PAVING.

Mr.. +. C. Cutter stated to the city
council last night that based on the in.
formation he had been able to obtain
since Wednesday, bitulithic would cost
not to exceed s2.35 per square yard,
which would amount to approximately
5000 per lot for inside lots and s265
for corner lots. the extra cost on
the corner lots being because of the
increased proportion of the cost of
paving, the intersections charged
against corner lots under the Colorado
law.
AT the request OF the council Mr..
Cutter quoted statements and figures
from standard technical engineering
works and engineers reports showing
that macadam is not considered a per
manent pavement and that because OF
the expense of maintaining and clean.
ing macadam the cost at the end of
five years is considerably greater than
the cost of bitulithic The quotations
from the textbooks seemed to indicate
the principle that 'low first cost is not
always final economy" applies particu-
larly to pavements.
Mr.. John Wingate, after stating his
strong attitude in favor Of a perma
nent pavement on Main street. said he
had figured on the basis of Mr.. Cutters
prices the cost per lot would average
about SIG per year or less than cents
per day.
The council extended vote of
thanks to Mr.. Cutter for the informa-
ton he had given them. and the spe
cial consideration he had given paving
as adapted to local conditions.
