REClUSE IS A PHILOSOPHER
Negro Found Living in Cave Near Santa Barbara, Cal, Tells Some
 Plain Truths.

There's rich living in garbage says Orrin Swift, negro recluse, who has just come into publicity through the lodgment of complaint question ing his sanity, reports a dispatch from Santa Barbara, Cal He has for 20 years lived in a little cave on the mountainside. between Rineon and Ventura
 When the officers went out to in- vestigate they found him curled up in a corner of the cave sleeping the morning away. The place was lit tered with tin cans. When aroused Swift greeted his visitors cordially and explained to them his mode of life and the reason therefor.
 Civilization" he said, 'is only an- other evidence of how slavery can be lifted up and made possibly more re- fined outwardly. The man who works for his living is nothing more or less than a slave. He is a slave to the whim of his employer. who may dis charge him just like that" and the negro snapped his finger.
 If a man has an income today he may not have one tomorrow. The consequence is that both the man who tolls for an employer and the man who draws his income are slaves to worry, neither of them knowing the peace and happiness that comes with the quiet life. Men would live forever if it were not for worry. That's the most subtle destroyer the human fam lily is prey to, for it leads to all other ailments whose windup is death.
 Here l am living contented. No one can demand rent or taxes, and I find my living in the garbage on the town dump, many fine morsels being left in cans and otherwise thrown away. There's rich living in garbage"
 The mans talk was rational, though strange, and his conduct was quiet. Therefore. the officers left him to his lonely life.
 There is a whole lot of genuine truth in his philosophy" said the sheriff. Men die from worry and what comes in its train, and the race will die more rapidly as it advances in civilization, for the burden of tax ation grows apace."

recollect that night in Lambeth you told me you had enemies?'
 An. SC I have, signore-and so have you!" he exclaimed hoarsely. Yes. my poor Armida may have been entrapped by them"
 And if entrapped, what then?"
 They would kill her with as lit- tie compunction as they would a fly" he said. An! you do not know the callousness of those people. l only hope and pray that she may have es- caped and is in hiding somewhere, and will arrive unexpectedly and give me a startling surprise. She delights in startling me-" he added with laugh.
 Then you think she must have been called away from home by some urg- ent message?" suggested.
 By the manner in which she left things, it seemed as though she went away hurriedly. There were five sov- ereigns in a drawer that we had saved for the rent, and she took them with her.
 l paused, hesitating whether to tell him the terrible truth. I recollected that the body had disappeared, there fore what proof had l of my allega. tion that she had been murdered?
 Tell me, Olinto," I said as we moved forward again in the direction of Paddington station, have you any knowledge of man named Leith- court?"
 He started suddenly and looked at me.
 "I have heard of him." he answered very lamely.
 And of his daughter-Muriel?
 And also of her. But I am not ac- quainted with them-nor, to tell the truth, do I wish to be-" "Why?"
 Because they are enemies of mine bitter enemies" His declaration was strange, for 1t threw some light upon the tragedy in | Rannoch wood. And of your wife, also?"
 q do not know that" he respond ed My enemies are my wifes also I suppose" You have not told me the secret of that dastardly attempt upon me when we last met" l said in low voice Why not tell me the truth? I surely ought to know who my enemies really are. so as to be warned against any | future plot"
 You shall know some day. signore dare not tell you now" You said that before," l exclaimed with dissatisfaction. If you are

DOMINION FREIGHT
 LINER TORPEDOED
WERE LOST AND TEN WERE INJURED.
VESSEL HAD C0NTRABAND
Ambassador Gerard Will Be Instruct. ed to Inquire of German Govern
 ment as to Its Report.

Washington. The Dominion British flag and carrying mules from Newport News, Va, to England, was torpedoed and sunk by the German submarine U-3S off Cornwall, Eng land, and nearly a score of American muleteers aboard are reported lost, according to messages to the State Department from John s. Armstrong, Jr., consul at Bristol.
 Twenty-nine men in all were lost and 10 injured.
 The news created a sensation in official quarters, as it was the first case of loss Of American lives since the sinking of the Lusitania. The action of the Washington govern ment, however, depends almost en- tirely on whether the Armenian was chartered by the British government and was, in fact a transport of war aboard which Americans would sail at their own risk, or whether she was an unarmed merchantmen. In the latter case, even though carry ing contraband, the ship should have been subjected to visit and search and those aboard transferred to place of salty before the destruction of the vessel was attempted, officials hold
 In the absence of conclusive infor- nation on these points, officials de- clined to say what effect the sinking of the Armenian would have on pend ing negotiations between the United States and Germany. Immediate in- quiry was directed, however, to Am bassador Page at London to obtain more details and when Secretary Lansing returns Ambassador Gerard will be instructed to inquire of the German admiralty as to It's report.
 From the messages received it ap- pears that in addition to the torpedo at least one shot was fired from dis appearing rife The consult's report said the wireless house was taken by second shot" It was not made clear whether the Armenian first was ordered to halt and resisted capture requiring second shot or whether the submarine attacked without warn- ing. The fact that the number of the submarine was given indicated that she had come to the surface to make the attack.
 Mules are contraband of war, ac- cording to all the lists of the bellig- erents, so there can be no doubt as to ]
 the contraband character of the Ar menian's cargo. Officials will make an effort to learn, however, whether the vessel was armed and whether she was a part of the British naval forces before the opinion of the State Department on the case will be dis closed.

 Well" responded the girl, T have only one or two letters. She's in her uncle's hands, I believe, and he won't let her write. poor girl. She dreaded leaving us"
 Why"
 "Ah! she would never say. She had some deep-rooted terror of her uncle, Baron Oberg, who lived in St. Peters burg, and who came over at long inter vals to see her. But possibly you know the whole story?"
 q know nothing" I cried eagerly. You will be furthering her interests, as well as doing me a great personal favor, if you will tell me what you know"
 Tt is very little,' she answered. leaning back against the edge of the table and regarding me seriously. Poor Elma! Her people treated her very badly indeed. They sent her no money, and allowed her no holidays, and yet she was the sweetest-tempered and most patient girl in the whole school"
 "Well-and the story regarding herr"
 Tt was supposed that her people at Durham did not exist" she explained. "Elma had evidently lived a greater part of her life abroad, for she could speak French and Italian better than the professor himself, and therefore always won the prizes. The class re- volted, and then she did not compete l any more. Yet she never told us of where she had lived when child. She i came from Durham. she said-that l was all"

BuiIt-in Oil Paintings.

As a rule oil paintings are not strikingly successful in the average house. They do not harmonize with either water colors, blacks and whites or brown photographs and if hung in the same room need a wall space to themselves Often, too, the color of the wall is not good background for an oil. A delightful disposition for a low sort of figure study is to leave it unframed and fit 1t in to the central space of the wooden chim- ney piece. The picture, thus made a part of the structure of the room. and surrounded by dark wood. has a dignity and value which it would never achieve in a gold frame and hanging on a wall.

FOUR-STORY BLOCK
 AT TWISTED BURNED
Loss Estimated at Ss,OO0-Authorities Suspect Incendiarism-Other
 Buildings Catch Fire.

Winsted, Sept 2s.-A four story brick business and tenement block on Main street, owned by the late Will liam Nunan of Springfield, Mass, was burned today and the roofs of houses on each side of it badly damaged by the fire. The cause of the fire is not known as the building was ablaze from cellar to roof when the firemwn reached it. The loss is estimated at about $S,000 with small insurance.
 The building was the scene of dozen fires of undetermined origin since 1900 and the authorities believe today's fire was set.
 The roof of dwelling on one side of the building, owned by Mrs. Mary T. Canty was burned off and on the other side the roof of Mrs. Henrietta Roy's house was badly damaged.
 So hot was the fire that lines of hose ignited and burst, hampering the work of the firemen, and section of roadway laid recently with a pat ented road pavement took fire. =
