KISS MUST GO BACK ALONE
Vaudeville Team Is Dissolved When the Human Partner Takes He
 Own Life.

New York" Sterling and his dog, ~ an English vaudeville team was dis solved on board the Campanta Satur- day when the human partner took his own life. The liner arrived here the other day.
 Charles Sterling, an athlete, tall, erect and muscular, thirty-four years old, with Kiss, a white-haired cross between an English sheep dog and q rough haired Irish terrier, had given their acrobatic and mind reading act so often in England that for week before the saiNng of the Cunarder Sterling had been sitting in front at the Olympia music hall in Liverpool watching his wife, Lillian, the beauty" do her act as a trick bicy- clist. There was plenty of work for her, but none for Sterling and Kiss, and nothing remained for them but to try America The wife from her earnings booked their passage.
 Sterling every day visited Kiss and every day he brooded until. on the fourth day he was wandering about saying foolish things. Then they put him in the hospital.
 The next day he went mad, saying he wanted to kill the best ten men on the ship. The orderly left him to call the chief steward and the doctor. When both officers with the bo'sun and half dozen sailors arrived at the hospital the door was barHcaded with furniture. They forced the door and found Sterling hanging from half sheet passed over a pipe and knotted.
 For an hour and a half Dr. Robert Bruce tried in vain to resuscitate the actor. who before hanging himseH had tossed his watch, his money and all his papers. including Kiss health certificate into the sea.
 At 5 p. m. speed was slackened a bit and the rail of the lee gangway unshipped. Captain Warr read the burial service. Mercer was there with Kiss. and as Sterling's body slid over the channels the little white haired mongrei tried to jump overheard Eyer since Kiss has cried piteeusly for his partner and refused to be com forted.

NEW YORK.-Superior Court Jus 1V tice Lehman said the other day that a situation which confronted him ln the county court house was unique ln his experience, although there have always been possibilities of 1t in con nection with juries deliberating on Fri day night.
 Judge Lehman and jury had been hearing for several days a suit of George Rae against the Pioneer Fruit company to recover $10,000 on 8 con- tract for services. The case went to the jury about four o'clock the jury day afternoon. At six o'clock the jury had not yet reached a verdict and Jus hce Lehman sent in word that they might remain until about eight o'clock and then sign a sealed verdict
 Juror No. Il, who was John M. Carver, told the court officer that un- der no circumstances would he re- main after six o'clock because he was . Seventh Day Adventist. and as 1t was sundown his Sabbath<nad begun. Justice Lehman sent for Carver, had him sworn and then sent him to the witness chair.

TUNE THAT STIRRED M'KTNLEY
President Forgot HabItuaI Dignity When He Listened to the Famous
 Ar of the South.

Leopold Bracony, an Italian sculp tor, once spent six weeks at the White House engaged in modelling a bust of the late President Mckinley Engaged in similar work he has beer in close association with many famous men, both in this country and in Flu rope, but he declares he never met 6 more kindly man than MT. Mckinley, and at the same time more dignitied man.
 "Only once," he said the other day, during my long stay at the White House did see the late president iD an attitude that was not dignified, but 1t was only for an instant. We were in a room in the White House which opened onto a balcony. The prest. dent was to address a delegation of southern men and was waiting near the door leading to the balcony for the delegation to draw up in front. Be sides the president there were in the room two army officers, Mrs. McKin ley and myself.
 Presently we heard the band that was leading the delegation. MT. Mo Kinley threw back his shoulders, stood erect and placed his hand upon his breast between the buttons Of his frock coat and was ready to step out at signal to be given him by one of the army officers when all was ready
 ''The band drew closer and then the air it was playing could be distin. guished. It was Dixie When the president heard the music he listened intently a moment. and then, way. ing his arms in time to the music, he began to pirouette around the room, humming the air as he went.
 "'Well, well, well, William!' ex- claimed Mrs. Mckinley, in a semi humorous, semi-shocked tone. At once MT. Mckinley stopped, assumed the stately, dignified position that was his habit. and then, getting the signal. stepped out on the balcony with his hand thrust into the breast of his coat"

KANSAS CITY.-Twenty-three thou N sand dollars had been stolen from . hiding place on the river front near the foot of Gillis street. There's no doubt the big robbery was committed. The hole is there. You may see for yourself. The snow had been scIRped away and the dirt thrown to all sides, indicating that the robbers worked hurriedly when they footed Frank Wyant's cache near his home at the loot of Gillis street.
 Wyant gave the first news of the robbery to Judge Porterfeld in the Juvenile court the other morning when he was up for failing to provide shoes for his ten-year-oid son. Jesse, and to pay the boys board.
 Wyant is a laborer, ditch digger and garbage hauler, who made $2S,- poo in cash, besides notes and reaI estate, by squatting on valuable

Apt Reply.


 A laborer contracted with farmer to work during the summer, but he tired of the job and walked of.
 Later he returned and demanded the balance of his pay. The farmer had been unable to get another hand. all being engaged elsewhere. and he claimed his crop was injured from lack of attention more than the wages due amounted to. and he refused to pay him.
 The laborer sued him, but lost the case. He was very angry, and openly said he would get even.
 The farmer owned a bunch of fine cattle and was amazed and indignant one morning to find their tails had been cut oil. He sued the laborer and brought witnesses who had heard him threaten revenge, but the evidence was circumstantial and the case was dismissed for want of proof. Later the farmer and a neighbor were look ing at the cattle, and the farmer re- marked he did not know what to do with them
 Well" said the neighbor, 'T think you better dispose of them by whole sale, for it is certain you can never retail them. m."-Norman D. Macks Ma donal Monthly.

ona Ruubear of Family LIfe.

''The thing I just hate about being at home" said young business wom- an, ''is that you never have anything of your own at home. Everything seems to belong to the whole fam fly"
 It is unfortunate that in many fam flies that the members are not taught to respect each others prop erty or privacy. It adds to every day annoyance and irritations to have some one else write with your per sonal pen and spoil its point, or some one else to borrow your new kimono, or your last envelope, just when you need 1t yourself.
 Family life would lose many of It's bugbears if children in early life were taught to respect each others private belongings. If the home is to be cheery, pleasant and altogether worth while there must be some restraint put on the sense of common property.

Keepers Put Ban on Dances in Zoo

ed yesterday when a passing keeper happened. to see Julius Caesar, the dean of the monkey house. and Cleo patra, the fascinating. heart-breaking first lady of monkeyland going through the intricate steps of the dance.
 He stopped. be looked. and he listen cd. The face of Julius. according to the keeper, was lighted up with grin which seemed to denote a happiness and a self-satisfaction that has been strangely missing from the guests of the rustic mansion overlooking beau tiful Rock creek ever since the keep CTS found 1t advisable to give them cold-storage eggs in lieu of the fresh laid kind.
 The keeper who discovered the monkeys dancing said that in few minutes the entire population of the monkeys cage was swaying to the steps of the dance He said that 1t seemed so hfelike that he was almost convinced that he heard Julius say to Cleo, 'Everybody's Doing It" and Roll Your Eyes, My Honey"
 The two monkeys that have set the fashion, according to the keeper. do not seem to ap8roye of the younger monkeys indulging in it, and stopped dancing in vain endeavor to have them desist- This the youngsters re fused to do. and the whole affair end ed like a ~Bowery ball"

JUSTICE HARLAN and Chief Jus a tice Fuller were riding home one evening on the back platform of a car, preferrfng that to a seat in order to smoke. The door of the car was open, and at intervals smoke from their cigars drifted in. Noticing this, the conductor informed them that Gmoling was prohibited.
 But" objected Justice Harlan, "the wind carries the smoke to the south and we are travelling north
 ''That's all right. mister; but them's my orders" insisted the knight of the bell rope.
 During the conversation Justice Fuller had stepped down on the car step and hidden himself behind the mammoth physique of his argumentar tive friend He was enjoying bis cigar to the fullest extent.
 "Orders are orders, know" con tinued Justice Harlan. determined to convince the conductor by logic of the folly of blind obedience; but there are cases where 8 law coercive at one time may at another be void AL low me to cite certain ease in our common law statute book
 T take my orders from the supe, and I don't care about no lawl" per sisted the conductor stubbornly.
 The car had turned into Fifteenth street by this time

Juror Quits Work at Sunset Friday

Why is 1t you refuse to continue longer with this juryf" asked the court.
 q cannot continue here any longer because 1t is against my conscience" said MT. Carver. Mot only would it be violation of my religious vows to sign any paper on the Sabbath, but I am not permitted even to deliberate or to consider any matter outside of my religion"
 "Then shall have to excuse you,- said the court
 Justice Lehman then asked Emil Schultze and a member of John B. Stanchfeld's law firm, who were coun- sel in the case, what they wanted to do, and they agreed to accept the yer dict of the other Il.
 Word was then sent to the jury room accordingly, but the court attend ant came hurrying back with the mes sage that two Hebrews on the jury had notified him that their Sabbath had begun at sundown and that they couldn't sign any paper after six o'clock
 'I am Jew myself" Justice L,eh- man said, "but have to lay aside my religious beliefs for my public duties"
 The two jurors then told the court that if he would remain with them for several hours in order that they might agree. if possible, and obviate the ne- cessity of signing sealed verdict, they would go back to the jury room. The court consented.

 Persons ambitious to i'll SchiIlin- ger's championship, now that he has been condemned to toll. may well pause as they consider his achieve ments as they were brought out in court.
 Here are some of the records:
 For nine years he has done abso- mtely no work, except what he was compelled to do at the bridewell.
 During these nine years his wife and eight children provided him with food, clothes and spending money. while his mother provided him with house, rent free.
 It was his custom to wake up late In the morning and send for his breakfast. If there was no money in the house for food, he would send one of his children to his mother with 9 note asking for 25 or 50 cents.
