the Senator could do for these fellows,
whether by loaning or giving them his
money or use his influence TO get them
favors, he invariably did so.

ROSE SNEERS: "BECKER
SQUEALED TOO LATE"

New Haven, July 2l.-"Becker,
throwing up his insides, thinks he
can save himself, but he's doomed
to die next Wednesday," said Jack
Rose, who passed through New
Haven this morning on his way to
Madison, Conn.
Rose made a Decline for the news
stand this morning, where he bought
all the New York papers. He read
with great attention the articles
dealing with Becker's fight for life.
Becker is just as guilty Of muir
der as the other men who went to
the chair. There are certain influ-
ences trying to save him, but they
cannot do il. This so-called elev-
enth hour appeal is fizzle. Every
thing Becker has said in his latest
statement is old stuff. | know that
Mr.. Whitman cannot now pardon
him." he continued.
"Who are the men trying to Sc
cure Becker's pardon?" he was
asked.
Il know and the people in au-
thority know, but do not think it
best for me to do too much talk
ing" he replied.
EFF he had turned states evil
dence at the time the others did, do
you suppose he could have saved
himself?'
Gle might have, but he can ex-
pect nothing from this show of re-
pentance. His squeal is too late.
Becker will go to the chair on
"Wednesday"

GEORGES BAD SPELL

Washington Never Could Learn 10
Write Some Words Correctly.
Whoever heard that the great George
Washington never could learn to spell
correctly7
You see, it happened this way. When
George was quite young boy he came
across copy of an English book call
ed the Young Mans Companion"
written in a ''plain and easy STYLE" as
the title stated, which taught one how
to write letters, wills, deeds, to sur
vey, to navigate, to build houses, to
make ink and cider, how to doctor the
sick and how to conduct oneself in so
ciety, call without the aid Of tutor"
Washington studied this book from
cover to cover and from 1t acquired
two qualities that chung to him through
life. His handwriting, easy, flowing
and legible, was modelled from the en-
graved copy" sheet, and certain forms
Of spelling were learned that he never
could correct ...
To the end Of his life Washington
wrote lie, lye; liar, lyar; ceiling. ciel-
ing; Oil, oyl. and blue. blew, as in his
boyhood he had learned to do from
this old book. Struggle as he did in
trying to spell as the others of his
day did, he never could be sure Of GER

STREAKED WALLS.
Cold Surfaces Always Catch More Dust
Than Hot Ones.

Cold Surfaces Always Catch More Dust
Than Hot Ones.
The reason that lath and plaster
walls become streaked Is explained by
John Aitken. in Nature, as due to the
tendency of hot air to deposit its dust
on cold surfaces. and the colder the
surface the weaker the power of re-
sistance. So where the laths protect
the plaster from the cold outside the
plaster receives less deposit of dust
than where it is between the laths.
Wherever a hot steam or water pipe
comes through a wall vertical streak
Of dust may be seen above 1t. due to
the hot air driving the dust against the
cold wall. Rooms that are heated by
open CRATES are much less dusty than
those heated by radiators because in
the former the furniture is heated
principally by radiation. and. being
warmer than the air. it repels the par
ticles of dust instead Of catching them,
while in the latter the air heats the
furniture and in so doing deposits its
dust on it.
Rooms lighted by electricity keep
clean longer than those heated by gas
simply because the light is almost cold
Mr.. Aitken sums it up as follows:
"Any surface hotter than the air keeps
free from dust"

brides maid of honor was her sister,

A reward of $1,250 is offered for

spring. Of this amount $500 will be
paid from the estate of the brothers,
$500 by the county and $3.50 by the
state. The authorities have worked
faithfully and diligently on the case,
but have been unable to solve the
mystery. The Polander, julius Znan-

case, but he was released Monday, as
there was no evidence which would

MAKING MUSIC BOXES.
Great Skill and Meager Pay For the
Experts of Geneva.


Experts of Geneva.
One big industry of Geneva, Switzer-
land, is the manufacture of music
boxes. Thousands of men, women and
children are employed In the factories,
one of which was visited by young
American, who thus writes about the
visit:
An attendant invited him to take a
seat. He did so,, and strains of de-
Ightful music came from the chair.
He hung his hat on rack and put his
travelling staff in the stand. Music
came from both rack and stand. He
wrote his name In the visitors register,
and on dipping his pen in the ink the
music burst forth from the inkstand.
The manager of the factory explain
ed the process Of making music boxes,
business which requires patience and
nicely.
The different parts are made by men
who are experts in those parts, and
they do nothing else year In and year
out.
The music is marked on the cylinder
by man who has served several years
Of apprenticeship. Another man in
serts in the marked places pegs which
have been filed to a uniform length.
The comb or set Of teeth which strikes
the pegs and makes the sound is ar
ranged by a man who does nothing
else. The cylinder is then revolved to
see that every peg produces a proper
tone.
The most delicate work of all is the
revising Of each peg. 1t is done by a
workman who has good ear for mu-
sic. He sees that each peg is in its
proper place and bent at the correct
angle.
When the instrument is in its case
an expert examines 1t to see that the
time is perfect and good.
The best workmen-those who mark
the cylinder and adjust the pegs-earn
$3.50 a day, after serving an appren-
ticeship Of ten or twelve years. An
ordinary workman earns 81 day.-St.
