The Monthly C0mmoner.

Secretary Bryan's Commoner,
which has been a welcome weekly
visitor in the home and in the edi-
torial sanctum of the editor of the
National Monthly for the past thir-
teen years, is now to come to us
monthly instead of weekly, the
change being announced by Secre-
tary Bryan a few weeks since. The
form of the publication will not be
altered, but it will be doubled in
size and the price will remain the
same.
The Commoner is now in it's
thirteenth year, having been start
ed shortly after Mr.. Bryan's de-
feat for the Presidency in 1900.
The entrance of Mr.. Bryan into Of
ficial life as Secretary of State, ,and
the appointment of R. l.. Metcalfe,
associate editor, as a member of
the Panama Canal Commission, are
said to be responsible for the
change.
Under the new arrangement Mr..
Bryan will be able to act as the
editor of his paper as we'll as at
tend to his official duties, and it
is said that his desire to assume
active editorial control prompted
the change. His brother, Charles
w. Bryan, will continue as publish
er. An editorial announcement in
a recent number of the Commoner
said:
''In editorials written by Mr..
Bryan himself, the Commoner will
meet the attacks of those who are
opposed to Democratic reforms and
the clever Misrepresentation made
by the organs of special interests.
1t will give timely discussion of
the great questions of the day"
In it's monthly form our old
friend. the Commoner, will be just
as welcome as it was in its weekly
form, and while its visits will not
be as frequent as of yore, it's re-
ception will be of equal warmth
and cordiality, and we hope to ap-
preciate it all the more in its
new form.-Norman E. Mack's Ma
tional Monthly.

Glass Cuttihl.

The layman who is introduced to the
mysteries of cutting glass for the first
time is amazed at the amount of work
that the workman does entirely by his
eye. The first stage of the bowl which
is to be cut finds it in perfectly plain
condition, not scratch upon it and
only a half dozen or more marks in red
chalk, which mean absolutely nothing
to the unpracticed eye But to the
workman they mean the whole pat
tern. Perhaps the dish is salad bowl.
The marks in chalk will run from the
edge, five intervals apart, down to the
center Of the bowl at the bottom. In
one of the divisions of the bowl thus
marked there may be little further
marking in the shape perhaps of dia
mond. This indicates the pattern into
which the bowl is to be cut, and it will
be repeated in each Of the five divi-
eions. All the intricacies of the design
the workman has in his head, and they
develop on the glass in a way which
seems to the locker on absolutely mar
velous.-New York Times.

TO PROTECT THE FISH.
And State Governments
Next Month.

DR.. Lester Jones, Deputy Com
missioner of Fisheries, has announc-
ed that the Bureau of Fisheries will
call in Washington next month
conference of Maryland and Vir-
ginia State officials and of the
Senators and Representatives in
Congress of those States for the
purpose of taking prompt and eff
fective steps to save, the food fish
of the Chesapeake Bay and its
tributaries from determination.
Gov. Goldsborough and members
of the Maryland Shellfish Commits
sion and Gov. Mann and members
OF the Virginia State Fish Commis-
sion, will be invited. The entire
Congressional delegation will also
be asked to be present. Secretary
of Commerce Redfield, Commission
cr OF Fisheries Hugh M. Smith and
DR.. Jones will attend the meeting
as representatives of the Federal
Government. The conference will
probably be held about the middle
of September.
DR.. Jones recently returned from
trip in Maryland and Virginia,
where he discussed with Governors
Goldsborough and Mann the fish
conditions in the two States. He
also saw Virginia Fish Commission
er Mcdonald Lee.

only one way by which the food
fish can be saved, and that is by

STAYS FAMILY
AND TRIES TO Die
Mother and -Four Children Are
Found Horribly Mang|ed'
HUSBAND IS FOUND DYING
Brooklyn Chef Shot All to Death and
Stays With Bodies Four Days Until
Discovered.

Stays With Bodies Four Days Until
Discovered.
New York Aug. 19.-The bodies OF
Mrs Mary Lake and her four chll'
dren, Horace, seventeen; Walter,
eight; Stella, eighteen, and Dorothy
fourteen, were found naked in their
Brooklyn home, horribly mangled.
Beside them, dying, was the hus'
band and father, Henry Lake, a res
taurant chef Apparently he had killed
all five, then fatally wounded himself.
The police say that Lake became in
sane through poverty. his wife's ex-
cessive drinking and their frequent
quarrels. He was fifty years old and
his employers say he was an earnest
and steady worker. Neighbors verify
the allegation that his wife drank
heavily.
The tragedy occurred last Wednes'
day. Odors from the rooms aroused
neighbors, and at their request the po-
lice broke in.
The last the neighbors saw of any
member of the family except the
father, was on Wednesday evening
when Dorothy went to the store. Lake
had come home from the restaurant
that afternoon, with money for a two
weeks vacation. Lake was not seen
again until Friday, when he went to
the store.
Gardiner, a policeman of the Butler
street police station, investigated
When Gardiner forced the door of the
basement apartment open he turned
quickly and sent for the Long Island
hospital ambulance. DR.. Skidmore was
the first to enter the apartment.
The surgeon found Lake against the
door leading into the hall. with bul.
let wound in his head.
The apartment comprises three
rooms. Horace was found undressed
in the front parlor on bed, where he
had apparently been sleeping when he
was killed Wednesday night. There
were bullet holes in his stomach, indi.
eating, the physicians believe. that the
father in his madness, after staying
with his dead a day and night, shot
him a second time. as he did the other
members of the family.
Passing through double door to the
back parlor, Dr. Skidmore found Stella
on a bed in that room, with bullet
in her head and one in her stomach.
In a corner across the room, where he
lay crumpled, as though he had been
warding off his fathers advance when
shot, was the body of Walter.
To the left of the boys body was q
small door leading to hall room,
where the mother of the family lay on
a bed with three bullet holes in her
head and one in her stomach. The
body of Dorothy lay beside her.
Near the body of Lake lay 38.
calibre revolver, two chambers OF
which were empty. At the side of the
bed where the mother and Dorothy
lay was a 44-caliber automatic, carry;
ing sixteen bullets, all the chambers
having been discharged.

Imagination continually seeks fur

Championship is usually the fore
