GRAND VIZIER IS KILLED
on Way to Sublime Porte-voIIey Fired From Passing Motor.

London, June 12.-Mahmud Shev- ket Pasha, grand vizier of Turkey, was asSassinated as he motored from his residence to the sublime porte, according to dispatches from Con- stantinople. Ibraham Bey, a compan- ion of Shevket Pasha, also was killed.
 The two, with servants, were rid ing to the porte in an automobile when they met a machine going in the other direction. As the automo- bile came up opposite that of the grand vizier a fusilade of shots came from it and several of them struck the official. One bullet struck Ibra- ham Bey.
 Mahpud Shevket Pasha became grand vizier when the Young Turks under Enver Bey brought about mild revolution and overthrow the ex- isting ministry six months ago, dur ing the Balkan armistice.
 The busted grand vizier and his ministers were for peace, while Enver Bey and the ministry he put into of- flee were of the war party. Maxim Pasha was assassinated during the brieg revolution.

IE AGAIN POSTPONED THEY MUST GO OVER TO SUPREME
 COURTS FALL TERM.
ATTORNEYS ARE PERPLEXED

 May Be Stimulated.

Washington, June 12.-Unless the Missouri and other pending railroad rate cases are decided Monday their fate in the United States supreme court will not be known until the fall term of the court.
 Without announcing any addition al decisions in the state rate cases, the supreme court adjourned until June IS, which will be it's last de- cision day for this term.
 It was the general expectation that the decision of the Minnesota case would be followed by series of de- cisions which, by disposing of the special points and conditions at is sue in the Missouri, Arkansas, Ken lucky and Oregon cases, would com. plete the exposition of the highest courts conclusions on the scope of state authority in railroad regulation.
 Using Justice Hughes opinion in the, Minnesota case as the guide, the lawyers here coincide in the view that the 2-cent fare and maximum freight rate laws of the other states will be upheld.
 Minnesota state officials, in dis patches, expressed their pleasure over the result, and Attorney McReynolds and members of the in terstate commerce commission said they are fully satisfied. k
 The prospect of congress taking charge of state rates affecting inter- state commerce indirectly lent en- couragement to the railroads that they would escape from regulation by AS state commissions.

r
! few years ago.twho owned a goldfish
to which hes attributed, if not human
Intelligence, human emotions. He
claimed that it came 10 the surface Of
! the aquarium every morning 10 have
him scratch its back after which pie
beian cafess the little creature would
sink to they fbsttori1 with contented
smile. 81
This man was a special writer on q
noisy newspaper, and his duties finally
called him away from his fish for two
weeks. During his absence it anguish
cd for it's daily scratch, grew nrorose,
refused all nourishment, died.
All of the above according to the
man. He said he could prove it by
showing the dead fish. Which was a
strong point in his favor, as all true
fishermen will allow.
1t is the troublesome thing of prov
ing the essential fact that makes it SO
difficult for fishermen to establish their
cases before the bar of public judg
ment. The corpus delicti-one may go
that far in speaking of fish stories-is
most generally wanting, for it is only
the occasional fisherman who is as
lucky as the Los Angeles man.
And it is due to this absence of proof
that FISH stories are SO unstable and
evanescent. They come and they go
and are forgotten. If we should set up
stones to mark their demise, as they
have done over a notable yarn in
Brockley, Worcestershire. England, we
shouldn't ne able to get around.
The stone above the grave of "the
old fish marks the resting place of the
most ancient fish story of which there
is trustworthy record. There Is no.
body alive in Brockley today who was
personally acquainted with the wise
trout. but everybody in the town knows
the story of his excellent qualities and
circumspect department.
Twenty years was the length of the
life that he lived. and he lived 1t with
honor to his birthplace and credit to
English fish and EngEshmen.
But how do you know? asks the Wis
flor IN Brockley.
I'VE knows" answers the bearded
native. 'becorse there's the stone above
i'm, sir" He stoops. tracing the in
scription with his finger. " E was 50
tame ed heat hout of your and" he
reads.
What more can you ask?
There's the enduring stone, with the
history of the old fish himself. Who Is
going to question the authenticity of
the portrait; who can challenge the
truth of the likeness?
It was a good fish. and good story
of it's kind, and no honest fisherman
will be so ungenerous as to envy both
of them the unique distinction of a

Pipe Lore.

John Glossinger. president of the
Manhattan Brier Pipe Company, who
the United States Tobacco Journal
says is an authority on all sorts of
pipes. has written for that journal an
interesting piece OF advice on how to
care for meerschaum pipe. The oc-
casion for his advice was a recent con-
troversy among the ever ready and
voluntary correspondents of the daily
newspapers. in which several bits of
what he calls careless advice We're Civ
en-. He especially rejects the cid idea
that meerschaum pipe should be
tightly covered with buckskin If 1t is
to be colored to the deep glossy brown
so dear to the smoker who thinks as
much about the appearance OF his pipe
as he does about the quality of tobac-
co which he puts in it.
the worst possible advice to a meer-
scbaum smoker is that he cover the
pipe with buckskin, and yet a very
great number of people believe this
to be imperative" says Mr.. Glossinger.
"Meerschaum is a porus mineral, and
the only possible way in which 1T will
color with nicotine or tobacco Juice.
or whatever you want to call It, is for
the surface to remain freely exposed to
the sir. The way these pipes are made
nowadays, a thin coating of trans
parent wax is placed over the outside
of the bowl, and the stem too, if that
is of meerschaum. The nicotine in
soaking from the inside of the bowl
through to the surface meets this
wax and colors the exterior in the
fanciful shades so highly priced by the
confirmed pipe smoker. But when a
buekskin cover is placed on the pipe
ostensibly to protect the bowl the heat
from within when the smoke curls up-
ward melts the wax covering into the
buckskin and renders the outside shell
of meerschaum liable to dirt and in
fact anything but a pretty color
THE best possible way for meer-
schaum to be colored is for the smok
er to use false bowl, and never smoke
in the pipe itself. 1t is well TO pack
tobacco tightly in the real bowl. in
sert the false bowl and then pack with
tobacco and smoke only from the lat
ter. The heat will be transmitted mod
erately to the tobacco which is in the
real bowl, but which is not burning.
and juices therefrom viii be exaded to
color the pipe in the most approved
fashion.
False bowls make calabash pipes
possible and they serve admirably for
the hight priced meersehaum which the
smoker prizes Just as a calabash
would burn through in no time if a
false bowl We're not used, direct burn
ing in meerschaum chars the stone
instead Of coloring IT,"

BIBLE NAMES OUT OF DATE.
Such Puritanic Handles as Ebenezer
and Zadok Do Not Appeal to Mod
ern Maids.

certain set of Christian names taken
from the Scriptures have been in use so
long that we do not think of them as
Bible names Among them are Adam.
Moses, Samuel, David, Daniel. Solomon,
Abraham, Isaac. and Jacob. Others TAX
en- from the saints. like Peter, Paul.
John, stephen, and Matthew. originany
given to children because they were born
on the saints day, are still so common
that we think of them as English names.
These names antedate the use of sur
names as may be inferred from the fact
that nearly all of them have given rise
TO patronymics. like Jacobson, Peter
son, and Stevenson. In the 18th century
missionaries sent out by the authorities
used to baptize whole villages at once,
and to save time invested all the men
with the name of John or some other
saint, and the women usually Mary or
Martha. To distinguish the Johns some
additional name like Short or Strong or
White or Black was given him by the
neighbors, and so Christian names and
surnames were united.
After the reformation it became the
fashion among the Puritans to give chill
dren the names of characters like the
Old Testament. and odd ones like Melch-
isidek or Barzilai We're preferred
Among these were Abel, Levi Jesse,
Amos, Asa, Isaiah, Ephraim. Gideon
Malachi. Job, Abner, Hosea. Ezekiel,
jeremiah, Zachariah. Asher, Eli, and
hundreds of others.
For some reason the use of these
names has largely ceased. We can un-
derstand why Ebenezer has been
dropped though once one of the most
common of names in New England. for
it is decidedly unmelodious No modern
But most of the Puritan Bible names
have a strong, manly ring, and have
been borne by able men, That they are
going out of use is very evident from
comparing the early class lists of Yale
with later ones. Twenty-Five classes in
the early 18th century, numbering 375
graduates, show 1l9 with Puritan given
names. This is about 30 per cent. Ten
classes in the goth century. numbering
3037. show but % given names of this
class, or less than | per cent. EheneZer
and Barzillai have completely disap-
peared Nor is Peletiah or Zadok to be
found
We can only hope that the descendants
of these ancient worthless have inherited
some of their sterling qualities. though
they do not perpetuate the name.--Hart-
