More JOY in Babies Than In
Discarded Dogs.

Baltimore, March 20.-Two nader
ladies who for many years have found
joy in the possession of two dogs.
through the efforts of the new depart
ment of the Henry Watson's Children 8
Aid society, have disposed of the can
ines and taken two babies as pets, AMI
they say they are glad they made the
change. Their names are withheld by
the society's agent at their request.
The agent says it was with some sad
ness that they sent away the dogs anil
they only did it because their cons
ciences told them to do it. They ex-
pected to miss the dogs, but figured it
out that the babies would be such a
heavy responsibility that they would
have few idle moments too long for tn .
dogs.
The fact is they took the babies with
little hope of reward other than that
which comes from a consciousness of
doing kind deeds. Even after they be-
gan negotiations with the society they
felt some misgivings But as soon as
they saw the babies they declared
that in some mysterious way they felt
attached to them, and now they declare
they could not enjoy life without the
babies.
What has been done by the new plan
already has received praise of philan
thropy experts. The Russell Sage
foundation is closely watching the eff
fort being made here The society is
cooperating with the churches, and
morec hurches and church workers are
joining in the work. More babies are
all the time coming under the care of
the society and needing just the kind o;
attention that the maiden ladies' are
giving their pets.

FLEECED BANKS
QUITE READILY
Silk Dealers Made a Million
Easily

New York, March 20. - Bankers
and silk dealers who advanced money
and goods to Salo r. Jackson, the
petticoat king, lost more than one
million dollars, the district attorney
said today, when arrangements wer.
made for Jackson's trial.
Jackson was arrested last Dece01-
Der in Frontera, Mexico. He will be
tried for grand larceny.
The Jackson Mack Company was
making 5000 petticoats day when
Jackson disappeared, and it was
charged that he had been receiving
large advances on fraudulent invoices,
much as the Musicas got money on
over-valued shipments of hair.
In connection with the arrest of the
Musicas in New Orleans, it was
learned today that their fight from
New York was traced by means OF
a brass-bound steamer trunk which
Philip Musica borrowed from friend
rather than spend $12 for new one.

But never has this aged truism been
SO conyincingly sustained as in Bern

Virgin Queen, Elizabeth. Her marvel
Gus intelligence and astounding dra-
matte powers make the historical in
cidents in the play as real as today,
and her faithful delineation of the
Lonely Queen make the original live

Elizabeth's life and love, all her pride
and vanity and the smiles and sorrows
of her mingled fortunes throb and
thrill in the compelling realism and
magnetic mastery of Bernhardt's art.

Smallest Republic.

The smallest republic is not San
Marine, as usually supposed, but the
diminutive island Tavolara, about
seven and one-half miles off the coast
of Sardinia. This island is only one
and one-fifth miles wide and it's whole
population numbers but fifty-five. In
1885 Tavolara was granted independ-
ence by Carl Albert, and certain
Barteleoni assumed the title of king
under the name of Paul I. He died
in May, 1882. In 1886 the Tavolariana
proclaimed the republic. and, accord.
ing to their constitution. president
is elected every ten years.

a railroad alongshore, which must be
elevated above the new water level
above the dam, and an ice fender like
a concrete bridge over a kilometer
long is anothr part of the work there
in the bottom of the Mississippi riv-
er, built to keep ice and debris of all
kinds out of the turbines.
At it's western end this largest of
power dams joins the power house,
which stretches almost at right angles
down the river for almost third of a
LIS feet-with a
width of about 1873 feet and a height
Of over 1T feet. The water from
the immense forebay between the
power house and the Iowa shore
passes through thirty arched portals,
behind which are buttressed, on their
outer ends, the steel rods acting as
strainers. Behind each arched por-
tai are four intakes to each turbine
water wheel, each intake being % feet
high.
Work of Many Years.
The origin of that water power de-
velopment is most interesting. 1t is
the result of remarkably persistent Ia
Dor on the part of the people of that
community through several decades.
In the middle of the last century the
value of the vast quantity Of power
going to waste there was recognized
and various unsuccessful movements
to utilize it were launched. Then ten
years were spent in work which was
successful at last. A corporation
which really was trustee for the peo-
pie made preliminary surveys, collect
ed data, obtained franchise act from
congress, and searched for capital to
build the water power installation. 1t
obtained it's funds from the municipal
treasures of Keokuk and of Hamil
ton, H., across the river. 1t succeed
ed only after it interested in the prof.
ect Mr. Hugh L. Cooper, who organ
lied the present proprietor company
only after much labor and many re-
Bluffs, and succeeded finally chiefly be-
cause of his record of successful
building of water power plants at Nj
agara Falls, Sac Paulo and other
places.
1t is intended to start the turbines
and generators in the mammoth pow
er house early next summer, with
the president of the United States
pulling the lever to start the turbines,
while he stands surrounded by the
governors Of all the states in the
Mississippi valley.
