occasionally seen in the Straits Of

world. "In fact" he says, "one may
see a mirage any day by looking
through the stratum of air everything

a wall heated in the sunshine" Young

Edward Morris, head of the pack
ing firm of Morris & Co., and a DOM
inant figure in the meat industry of
America, died at 6:15 a. m. today at
his city residence, 1900 Drexel boule-
ward, after an illness of several
months.
The Strenuous life" caused the
big meat packers death. Though he
was only AZ years old, physicians at
tributed his end to a general physi-
cal breakdown, due to his unusual ex-
ertions as young man when he sue
ceeded to the presidency, after the
death of his father, Nelson Morris,
the founder of Morris & Co.
The fact that he was slowly vast
ing away became known several
months ago after his return from Cal
ifornia, where he went In search of
health. Some of his business asso-
ciates declared at that time that the
strain he underwent during the cele-
brated beef packers trial in the
United States Court in Chicago did
much to hasten his death.

contrary effect on the one eyed man
to what was expected. He glared at
Starkweather. clutching his vaiise in
one hand. while he kept the other un-
der his coat in the region Of his hip.
When Starkweather had finished he
made no reply. but looked about ap-
parently for some means OF stopping

CIGAR COMPANY PR0sPERS
Will Increase Capital and Erect a
Building of Their Own

The Punta Gorda Cigar Manu-
featuring Company now employs
twenty workers and is doing the
largest and best business in its
history. The increase of business
demands more room and addition
al facilities. Accordingly, at a
recent meeting of the directors, it
was decided to double the capital
stock and to erect building
specially adapted to the manufact-
ure of cigars and large enough to
accommodate twice as many work
ers. To this end G. G. Symonette
the company's travelling repre-
sentative, has offered to donate a
suitable lot in the southeastern
part of town near the home of K.
w. Rountree.
The directors are to meet to-
night to discuss the plans and de-.
eide upon all details. All the adj
ditional stock has already been
subscribed for, but we trust the
directors will not fix any limit,
but sell and issue all the stock for
which there may be any demand.
The more capital, the more bust
ness. The fame of Punta Gorda
cigars is rapidly extending, and
we ought to have fifty people
making them.

The, Eye Of the
Government
BY RYLAND BELL

For some time after the democratic
nprising of 184S, which occurred all
over Europe, the governments of Ger
many and Austria, which had been
very nearly overturned by revolution,
Kept strict record Of strangers pass
ing through their domains. Not that
tourists are today ignored, but the
methods are not now so obtrusive as
they were then.
In 1852 William, Starkweather Of Al
bany, N. Y, while In Berlin was fol-
bowed about by man who was un-
aoubtedly spy Of the government.
Ten years later he had occasion to
again visit Berlin. He remembered his
previous experience and wondered II
It would be repeated. He saw nothing,
however, to excite his suspicious till he
was leaving the city. He stepped into
q compartment Of coach-each CON-
partment was separated from the 9th
ers at that time-in which there was
no other passenger. Just before the
train started a one eyed man carrying
a valise entered the compartment and
as he did SO eyed Mr.. Starkweather
sharply.
Here he is" thought the American.
"He has but one eye, but for spying
purposes 1t is quite as good as two"
The man took seat as far away
from Starkweather as possible, and in
stead of putting his valise In the rack
overhead placed 1t in the seat beside
him
Starkweather reached a satchel from
the rack, took out book and began to
read. He had perused several pages
when, looking aside, he saw the single
eye-the eye of the government he
called it--looking at him.
AS Starkweather looked up the man
put his hand on the valise beside
him, and, since his expression indicat-
ed that he was ready to fight If neces-
sary, the American thought that he
was intending to open the valise and
take out brace Of pistols. Stark
weather, who kept what money he
had with him in his right hip pocket,
put ulo LdhN IhCiC. hC
man started and put his own hand to
his hip, keeping that single eye Of his
on his fellow passenger. Starkweath-
er, inferring that the man supposed
he had reached for a pistol, withdrew
his hand in a way to avoid, so far as
possible, giving that appearance. New
ertheIess he dreaded lest the man, ex-
pecting that he would draw weapon,
should do SO quicker than he and send
bullet crashing through his brain.
However, when the other saw his emp
ty hand he, too, withdrew his own and
without anything in it.
BY this time Starkweather, being
alone In a compartment with man
whom he believed had been sent by
the police to watch him and shoot him
down If he attempted to play any des-
perate game, considered it quite time
to disabuse his antagonist of his sup
position as to his character Eortu-

Once painter notorious for plagia'
risms executed historical picture In
which every figure of Importance was
copied from some other artist, so that
very little remained to himself. 1t
was shown to Michael Angelo by a
friend, who begged his opinion of it.
"Excellently DONE" said Angelo. "only
at the day of judgment. when all bodies
will resume their own limbs again. J
do not know what will become of that
historical painting. for there will bp
nothing left of it."
