SCOPE
OF THEIR WORK
Settlement Workers to Take
in Standard District in
East Hammond.

Housing conditions n fhe Standard
Steel Car district are the next to re-
ceive the attention of the Hammond
Settlement. according to plans formul-
lated yesterday afternoon by the direc-
tors of the Hammond Settlement House
al their regular meeting.
Arrangements have been made
whereby two young ladies. Misses Dor
othy weik and Hazel Underwood. stu
dents of sociology at Depauw universi-
ty will act as the Settlement House
visitors AS such they will visit the
homes in the Standard district, act as
nurses for the sick where 1t is neces-
sary, and by associating with the moth
ers and the children give them the BEN
eft of their experience. In many homes
1t is thought this will introduce an
other standard of living. and the good
example will spread from one home to
another. In return the young ladies
will receive valuable practical ex-
perience, which will aid them material
ly in their preparation for the larger
work which they expect to undertake
after completing their work al the uni
versity.

amount of money available.
The'automobile act provides that re-

shall be used for highway improve

counting on this money for the pres

takes the position that the legislature

prohibiting expenditure Of unappropri-
ated funds. If this contention is sus-
tanned the money will not be available
for road building until next year.

. An editor of a New York magazine
recently received a story of which
the scene was laid in the state Of
Washington. He wished to have the
story Illustrated, and in order to OBJ
tain the best local detail he sent the
manuscript to a young artist out in
Washington. Before doing so, how
ever, he scrawled hastily across the
top of the first page the address Of
the writer, which did not otherwise
appear on the manuscript. It was
Shelton, Wash" With the story the
editor sent letter asking the artist
to make wash drawing of a certain
effective scene and forward It as soon
as possible. BY return mail the ed.
itor received an anxious reply from
the youthful artist, saying: 81 note
that you wish me to use Shelton

wash, nor do any of the dealers out
here. If you can send me a tube

New Uniforms for Militia.

Harrisburg. - Within the next
month or so the National Guard of
Pennsylvania will be equipped with
new olive drab service uniforms, pat
termed after the coats worn by the
men of the United States army in all
respects except the articles used to
designate their membership in the
Keystone state militia. The requisi.
tions are to be made by the command
ers of organizations without delay, as
the uniforms will not be issued after
June 1. The olive drab uniform will
have the standing collar of the regu.
lars instead of the turn-down style;
will have patch instead of bellows
pockets, and be without cuffs. The
uniforms now used for general pur.
poses will be used for ordinary work
and the new olive drab will be kept
for change when formal appearance is
desired. -

TOO MUCH WHISKY ON MARKET.
Kentucky Distilers Decide to curtaiI
Output of Bourbon.

Louisville, Ky.-Over-production of
Kentucky whisky similar to that dur
ing the four years from 1890 to 1893,
inclusive, which was followed by sew
eral years of depression, is feared by
local distillers, who have agreed that
curtailment in the output is impera'
tive. The trade has produced about
90,000,000 gallons in the last two
years, more than 2O,OOO,O0O in excess
of the demand.
Distillers say tremendous impe

ings as to what constitutes real
whisky, and many increased the ca
pacity of their plants in anticipation
OF big demand. The overthrow of
DR.. Wiley's conclusions later cut into
the consumption of ageing whisky.
Jobbers all over the country, they say,
practically have ceased buying any
thing younger than 1905, and when
they buy goods of older inspection
the purchases are altogether for i'm
mediate wants.

OVER THE SHOSHONE FALLS
Except Fish, a Red Collie Is Only AMI
NAL That Has Made Plunge
and Survived.

The only living thing except the fish
that has ever gone over the Shoshone
Falls in Idaho and came through alive
is Shep, a red collie belonging to a
hotel man in Shoshone. At Shoshone
the Snake River plunges into a cavern
with less than foot between the sur
face of the rushing waters and the
roof of jagged rock. Sharp-toothed
rocks bristle above the swirling cur
rents, and cruel stones project from
the slippery sides. From this sub
terranean passage the river emerges
on the edge of a great canyon. over
the brink of which it dashes In
laundering cataract of foam and spray
22O feet to the abysmal depths below.
The falls of Shoshone are sixty feet
higher than Niagara Falls.
A child pulled Shops plumy tall one
day and Shep bit the child. For this
he was promptly condemned to death
by his owner, who took him to Snake
river and threw him in just outside
the cavern, and when Shep, battling
bravely for his life, was swept out OF
sight into its mysterious mouth, he
was considered dead dog
Half an hour later boy hurried into
the hotel and informed Shops master
that his collie was sitting on a half
submerged rock below the falls how
ling for help. Filled with remorse,
the dogs owner hastened to his res
cue with ropes and boat, and half
Shoshone attended Shops triumphal
return to his home, where his penitent
owner gave him the best in the larder
and soft cushion behind the bar for
the rest of his days. Beyond few
trihing scratches and the loss of his
toe nails, the dog was none the worse
for his terrible experience.

ROOSEVELT SAYS 1.
TAFT IS MIGRATE

"Crookedest Kind of a Deal"
he ALSO HINTS AT A BOLT
Torrent Of Hot Denunclation-"Absurd
"Untruths," "DisIoyaIty to Every
Canon Of Decency and Fair Deal
ing" and Yielding to Bosses.

Worcester, Mass.-Merciless denun'
citation of President Taft was Colonel
Roosevelt's reply to the Presidents at
tack on him. Some of Colonel Roose:
velts assertions were
That President Taft had not given
the people of the country square
DEAL" but that, owing to quality OF
feebleness," he had yielded to the
bosses and the great privileged inter
ests."
That one part of the Presidents at
tack upon him was "the crookedest
kind of deal" and deliberate mis-
representation"
That the President has not merely
in thought, word and deed been dis
loyal to every canon of ordinary de-
cency and fair dealing such as should
obtain even in dealing with a mans
bitterest opponents"
That the Presidents statement re-
garding>the influence of Federal office
holders in the campaign was mot only
an untruth but 1t is an absurd un-
truth"
That Mr.. Taft convicted himself of
lnsincerity when he signed the Payne
Aldrich Tariff bill.
That in speaking of Col Roosevelt's
position in regard to the trust problem
President Taft "is himself guilty of a
crooked deal"
That the action of the adnfinistra
ton in not appealing the Circuit Court
order in the Tobacco case to the Su-
preme Court was incompatible with
the theory that the administration was
acting in good faith"
Col. Roosevelt took up President
Taft's attack upon him point by point,
faying the President In one sentence
after another
Summing up his attitude Of opposi.
tion to the President, the colonel snap
ped out these sentences:
81 do not believe he has given the
people square deal. believe he has
yielded to bosses and to the great
privileged interests. think he has
done this through feebleness, not
though viciousness am sincerely
sorry for him and only regret that he
did not have the strength of character
to make good his promises to the AM
erican people"
On the way to Worcester Colonel
Roosevelt spoke from the rear platform
of his train where stops were made,
and his most significant statement
was in Willimantic, Conn, where he
again made the threat that should his
delegates be unseated by the National
Committee he would become an inde-
pendent candidate for President.

but Warned to Be
Silent.

New Rochelle, N. Y.-Harry X.
peared Saturday before Justice
Keegh in chambers in another effort
to be'freed from Matteawan, where he
has been confined for more than four
years. The appearance was on
writ of kabeas corpus. The hear.
ing was brief. Clarence j. Shearn,
Thaw's attorney, stated that Thaw
was not insane and that his release
would not be a public menace. 1t

that the matter should wait the jus.
tees convenience and the case ac.
cordingly was set for May 6 at White
Pl6fns.
1t was the first time in three years
that Thaw had been out of the con.
fines or Matteawan. He has taken
on considerable weight and his full
cheeks seem to diminish the promi'
nence OF his eyes. Despite his glass.
es his eyes still seemed remarkably
bright.
Wheh he reached the court room
lie was greeted by his mother, his
sister, Alice, formerly the Countess
of Yarmouth, and Roger O'Mara OF
Pittsburgh.
When the adjournment was taken
Thaw held sort of leevee. He
declared that he was feeling fine and
seemed particularly glad to be in the
open again.
How much do you weight now
some one asked
From 1856 to 1S7," he replied. He
seemed willing to talk lot, but Mr..
Shearn said he thought it would not
be well for him to say much at this
time.
The hearing over, Thaw was taken
back to Matteawan.

Being Abandoned.

ST. Marys, Pa.-The lumber towns
of Elk county are rapidly disappear

memory of them will he left. Medix
