Smile Counts.

Every one likes to see smiling
face and to smile becomingly one
must cultivate cheerful and sympa-
thetic condition OF mind The face
wreathed in smiles is like perpetual
sunshine In a house 1t is irresisttble
and conquers all hearts. A smiling
mouth loses half its charms II the
eyes do not correspond; for the eyes
are the windows OF the soul. and the
smile that lies only about the lips
soon dies away. leaving an indifferent
spirit to survey and chill the world.
Cultivate the art Of smiling not Win
your lips. but with your eyes. Every
one can have laughing eyes. They
are not a matter OF inheritance. nor
can they be acquired with the aid OF
the masseuse and the professional
beauty specialist. Love is a great
transformer. The sternest features
may be softened. the hardest natures
humanized by love-.

GIBSON HELD FOR MURDER
CHARGED WITH Staying Gil.
EMIT, "coUNTEss' sZABo.
Accused Is Trailed From Home to
His Office by Detectives and a
Squad of Newspaper Men.

New York, n, Y.-Burton w.
Gibson, the New York lawyer, whose
client, Mrs. Rusena Menschik Szabo,
lost her life when boating with him
on Greenwood lake, New York, on
July Is, was taken into custody by
Deputy Sheriff de Graw of Orange
county, on a warrant charging Gibson
with murder in the first degree. The
warrant was issued at Middletown,
N. Y, by Judge Royce, after evidence
that the woman, who left an estate of
$4,000, had been strangled, had been
laid before him.
Gibson came to the city, trailed by
private detectives and a squad of re-
porters. AS he walked through the
streets to his office a crowd of sew
eral hundred persons followed him.
Gibson, with a private detective, went
to his office and awaited the arrival
of De Graw.
Gibson explained that while he was
not worried about the strangulation
charge, he had felt a bit anxious over
the outcome Of the autopsy, fearing
that poison in the embalming fluid
would lead to a mistaken impression
that a poison had been administered.
He added however, that he had
looked up the law an found that the
use Of an embalming fluid containing
an active or irritant poison was no
longer permitted.
Il ceased to worry after that" said
the lawyer.

NOGI AND WIFE END LIVES
Both Commit Suicide Over Body Of.
Late Emperor of Japan-To
Show Love for Mikado.

Toxic, Japan.-General Nogi, hero
of the Russian-Japanese war, and his
wife, committed suicide here.

themselves to death over the body of
the late emperor.

wife came as a climax to the funeral
services conducted for Emperor Nut
suhito. The general was a devoted
friend Of the late mikado and it is
believed that grief wei the death Of
the monarch drove the general to the
decision to commit suicide in accord
ance with the Shinto belief that it is
just and holy to die in memory of a
friend.
Count Nogi was the general who
captured Port Arthur with a brilliant
assault in the late Russo-Japanese

IS BOYS DROWN As

6 RECRUITS MISSING FROM CUT.
TER SUNK NEAR NORTH
CHICAGO.
THOUSANDS SEE rs In PERIL
Motor Craft Starts to Rescue, but Is
swamped Before Reaching Lads
All but Few of Those in
Vessel Could Swim.

CLi.agO.-Thirteen young men, re-
cruits at the United States naval
training station at North Chicago,
lost their lives in a Lake Michigan
tragedy which in many respects has
no parallel, when a cutter was
swamped on a sandbar in a forty-mile-
an-hour gale. All but one of them
were able to swim and yet they were
drowned within 300 yards of shore.
The cutter, which was attached to
the station, held twenty five men.
Seven bodies have been recovered,
while six members of the cutters
crew are missing. 1t is believed that
their bodies have been carried out
into the lake by the tremendous force
of the gale.
Motor Boat Is Swamped.
Capt. w. F. Fullam, commandant
of the naval training station, saw the
danger of the apprentices from his
headquarters and sent a motor boat
to the rescue, but this craft was cap
sized before it had gone far and the
mon in charge of it were obliged to
swim back to shore.
Later a force of men was sent along
the shore to where the cutter had
been wrecked and every effort was
made to rescue the apprentices.
The thirteen young men who lost
their lives were new recruits at the
training station. They were known
only as "privates."
They were: Patton, Caminan,
Winkler, Harlon, Wallace, Cooke,
Stanley, Jackson, Sherman, Fullen,
Puleen, Southworth and Field.
Accident Seen From Pier.
Most of the drowned men, it is be-
lieveG, came from the Middle West.
The accident occurred within view
of a number of men and women who
had crowded to the lake bluff pier
when the first news of the boats
plight was heralded. The furious gale
that was blowing from the northeast
had whipped the water of the lake
into such enormous pillows that res
cue was impossible.
The party left the training station
after 2 O'Clock in charge of
Negis,. and after cruising about until
{ O'Clock the cutter was headed for
North Chicago.

Washington, d. C.-The United
States is about to intervene in Santo
Domingo.
Warships will be dispatched at once
to the island. A revolution has brok-
en- out which threatens American and
other foreign interests.
The customs houses of the island
controlled by the United States by
treaty, must be protected against
seizure by the revolutionists.
Further than that, advices conveyed
news of so serious nature that the
state department began preparations
for immediate activity.
The gunboat Wheeling at Guantan-
amo, the gunboat Tacoma at Blue
fields, Nicaragua, and the protected
cruiser Des Moines at Key West,
each carrying a complement of ma
rines and a full crew of bluejackets
are the most available forces for the
work. None is more than three days
away from the island. The gunboat
Petrol is already in Santo Domingo
waters.
The latest outbreak is believed to
be promoted by the prime movers in
the recent insurrectien, which culmi-
mated in the battle of Dajaben, Au-
gust 4-6, when that place was taken
by the rebels.
Latest reports to the state depart
ment indicate that Notwithstanding
r%eassuring promises from the Domin-
lean government, the revolution never
has been completely suppressed but
has smoldered only to mreak out
afresh and with greater intensity.
