There have been few commanders so tyrannous as Lopez the dictator of Paraguay, when in the war of 1S65-7O it fought single handed the neighbor- ing countries of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. Lopez, says MT. w. H. Koe- bel in his Argentina was wont to carry the theory of victory or death to an uncomfortable point. officers were executed for mere remarks whose tone fell beneath the standard of confidence that Lopez had set up for himself. One, for instance was shot for having announced in the course of his duty that the enemy was strongly

Yawni1g is a peculiar act and one that has never yet been properly ac- counted for. It is not by any means a
 sign of fatigue only, although it is sometimes produced by overexertion. But an attack of yawning comes on much more quickly if one is intensely bored, and certainly a stufy atmo- sphere tends to produce it. It is also noticeable that when one has gone con siderably past ones mealtime the ten dency to yawn frequently becomes ir- resistible. A very peculiar feature of this complaint is it's infectieusness one person can easily set half dozen all yawning in turn. When present in
 a very marked extent it is supposed to be the outcome of anaemia, indiges- ton or some other complaint.

The founder of the financial dynasty of Morgan was Junius Spencer Mor- gan, who was born 1O3 years ago to- day in West Springfield, Mass. He be- gan his career as a clerk, and after wards embarked in the dry goods trade in Hartford. He then became a partner in a Boston business which became one of the largest dry goods establishments in America. In 1854 he went to England and became a
 member of the banking house of
 George Peabody & Co.,, which subse- quent1y became J. $. Morgan & Go! He died at Monte Carlo in 1890!

PRESIDENT OF MACHINISTS
 REPORTS BANNER YEAR FOR
 UNION THROUGH OUT COUNTRY

4a \ FA
 felt in a large number of other indus tries1 More than 300, 900 men, women and children engaged in various man ufactures have been benefited in the way of shorter hours and increased wages through our efTorts
 My most conservative estimate is that the Tdeerease in hours averages at least seven hours per week. Three hundred thousand people winning seven hours 8 week each equals 2,S00soO0 hours. This weekly total multiplied by .52 weeks in the year amounts to 109, 200, GOO golden hours that have been gained by the toilers as a direct result of the efforts of the International Association of Machin-. ists. h
 Tt is gratifying to know that the auditors report shows balance to our credit for tHe first time in more than i've years. In my last report endeavored to point out that it was the duty of all officers and members by every honorable means needless in- dustrial entanglements with employ CTS. in order that we might Hquidate our indebtedness and accumulate q surplus for defense purposes.
 Generally speaking, our officers and members have tried to avoid strikes and to secure reasonable de- lSV u, in 3, number of instances, strikes were made necessary by the attitude of the employers, entailing upon us a con siderable expenditure of money. Were it not for unusual activity and the expense incidental there to, we would have made a much better financial showing this year. However, we can not win industrial battles these days without it costing something I con sider the results have fully Justified the cost.
 During the year we have paid out in death benefits the sum of S649218: in strike and victiInized benefits =S116.- 495.54-making total amount of $1s0, ,687.72 paid to our members for these three benefits in 1915 This makes grand total of $657 55618 since the Grand Lodge commenced paying death benefits in 1898; and for strikes and victtmized benefits, a, grand total of S4, 437,733-54 paid since date of organization In addition, we have paid off loans to the amount of $17,- 363.98 during the year.
 "A growing militant organization such as ours. must have as the sinews of war a good sized treasury. Money is not only necessary in times of in dustriaI strife, but if we had a sub stantial treasury it would be one oc the greatest preventives of strikes and 1ockouts that we could possibly have The Employers Association has often. melted strikes, believing our associa- ton was not in a position to finance an industrial struggle. And it is equally true, if large numbers had been in volved. we would have been unable to give the help we desired.
 "In view of the wonderful ,opportun- ity now presenting itself, and the pos abilities for gigantic spring drive toward the goal of an eight-hour work day, I recommend to our members for their favorable consideration the Ievying of one or two small assess ments for any emergency.

NEW HAVEN COPS
 DISPUTE CUSTODY OF PRISONER HERE

Two police sergeants of the New Ha- ven department quarreled, in the city court room, today, over the possession of a prisoner, arrested here and held for the Elm City authorities.
 A few weeks ago there was an as- sau1t during the progress of a card game in which Wassi1 Cross of IA Spruce street, New Haven, slashed another man who was interested in the game. WassiIl Cross fled thee ity of New Haven and he was apprehend- ed in this city last night. The New Haven police authorities were notified of his apprehensio1 and a warrant was given to street Sergeant Cornelius Egan and he was told to come to this city and return with the prisoner.
 A warrant also was given to Detec- tive Sergeant Thomas Co1vel1. Egan arrived here early this morning and he sat behind the desk at headquar- He was awaiting the ending of court before taking his man from the prts- oners' pen.
 During the wait Detective Sergeant ColweH arrived in the city and he waited in the court room until the ses- sion ended. He told Lieutenant Hazel of his mission and produced the war rant and Cross was turned over to CoIweH.
 Cross, Egan hurried into tie room. Egan demanded the prisoner, and pro- duced his warrant Meanwhile Col well had put the t.nippers' upon his prisoner. He flashed another. warrant tat Egan, who. crestfallen, left the building and forsook the prisoner to the mercies of his successful rival.

KENTUCKY COLONIES.
In Es1e Nature of Things They Simply
 Can't Help Being Numerous.

In A31e Nature of Things They Simply
 Can't Help Being Numerous.
 In the south especially and in Ken lucky more especially a man becomes 8 colonel at about forty-seven unless he is of a willfu1, Febellious, obstreper- ous disposition and inclined to stand up for an admitted but rarely exercised right not to become known as "colo- nel." A man who is not sudden and quick in Quarrels and who can be put upon cannot escape becoming "colo- nel.i' Many men whose courage is un- questioned prefer not to engage in street fights in opposition to an estab- hshed custom. It is the rule rather than the exception to submit good na- tured1y or with concealed impatience when the first three gray hairs appear at the temples and the use of the title begins by popular consent.
 There are, of course, many colonels under forty. When a governor is yinau- gurated he has the power to appoint staff colonels. A governor who does not appoint as colone1s such of his con sHtuents as he knows by name is lack ing in the punctiliousness which distin- guishes the practical politician. Thus many 1Dung men who would have been 'lefteaa ants'' if they had adopted a mill itary career are made colonels in civil life. Another predisposing cause of premature colonelcy is the tendency of some men to become fat early in life. A man who measures as much as forty inches at the waist line and has not been convicted of felony is entitled, even obliged, to be called ''colonel' be- fore he is forty.-Louisville Courier Journal

m E .
 That 1915 was year of tremendous Improvement ih the union situation is the tenor of the annual report of Will liam H. Johnson. president of the In ternationaI Association of Machinists. The report follows:
 ssTt affords me much pleasure to re- port that the year 1915 has been one of the best and most fruitful years in the history of our organization.
 Owing to the unprecedented activity fin the machine industry. there has been greater demand for nachinists and tooImakers than at any previous time. For once it could be said, as far as the machinists were concerned that there were more jobs than there were men to h1 them.
 This most unusual condition pre- scented an opportunity we had long sought, and we immediately laid plans for the most thorough organizing cam paign ever carried on by any labor or ganization- Our representatives went forth to awaken the men employed in the machine industry to the fact that an opportunity of a lifetime present ed itself to the workers, and that it only remained for them to take ad- vantage of it. |
 Every known method was used to arouse the workers to a sense of their neGQ distributed in large quantities.; open meetings were held and where we found it difficult to attract the crowds to open meetings, or where halls were not available our representatives de- cided to take the message right to the shop gates. and some of the most deeply impressive meetings have wit messed or participated in were those conducted during the noon hour at the shop gates, and 1t is gratifying to know that in cities and towns where it had heretofore seemed impossible to effect an organization, the machinists and others responded in large num- bers and a real economic revival fol- lowed.
 4sNo sooner were the men organized in many localities than they wanted to make move for an eight-hour work day, and in some instances demands were made rather hastily; but not withstanding the lack of preparedness, wonderful progress has been made, our success being only limited by the means at our command.
 ssIn my report last year stated that T feel confident with the industrial horizon growing brighter and busi- ness growing better that we will be in a position to take advantage of any and every legitimate opportunity which presents itself to better our con- idftion and to secure a larger measure of the wealth we collectively produce sss.I am pleased to say that the opin- ion above expressed has been sus- 1adned. with the result that we can truthfuIIy say that greater progress has been made for the shorter work day during the last few months than in any previous period
 During the year 1915 our records show that we have added more than 20 900 new members to our associa- tion- Our campaign for the shorter work day has benefited not only men in the machine industry, but the ben edcfaI influence of our efforts has been

READING THE HAND.

Most Murderers, It Is Said, Show Their Characters In Their PaIEns.
 A French savant contends that the murderer has a distinctive hand. His face may not be hideous, but the hands are and are self condemnatOry- Evidence on the latter characteristic is scanty and rests upon the inves6- gations of the French criminOlogists; but, as to the former, it is a fact that some of the most brutal murders on record have been perpetrated by men whose countenances habitual1y wore a very mild expression.
 Deeming was pleasant man t0 speak to until crossed, but somegof the authorities who examined his hands declare his broad thumb indfcatedathe born murderer
 The true balIheat1ed thumb gives to the first phalapge a round, bulbous lap- pearance. It is short, and the nail is so abbreviated as to suggest that it has been gnawed. It is embedded ln the flesh, which rises on either side and beyond it.
 Dumollard, a wholesale murderer, had a hand remarkable for its thick ness and length of palm in proportion to the fingers. He had significant sign, common to most murderers- namely, almost entire absence of lines in the palm, save the three principal ones-the lines of life, head and heart These lines were very strongly defined The line of the head-the center line extending across the palInAwas vtO- lently cut by the line of life running upward from the wrist. Ohiromancy interprets this to foretell a violent death. His fingers were knotty and uneven at the nail phalanges.-Dgo- braska Legal News.

BOATS UNDAMAGED
 AFTER COLLISION

The steamer Park City, enropte to, Port Jefferson, L. l.. yesterday after- noon with its regular matinee crowd and the tug lJo ohm Glenn. on its way, to Black Rock for a tow, came to- gether shortly after 1 o'clock and caused excitement for few minutes among the passengers on the steam- CT.
 Both boats were passing from the harbor beyond Bug light where the, channel is narrow and 1t is thought' that the suction from the steamerA caught the tug which was in shoalf water, drawing her toward the Park { City. The Glenn struck the Park l City a glancing blow, veered for-j ward and again struck her side in coming up. The impact was not sufficient to jar the Park City.
 Something fell on one of the pipes of the Glenn, breaking it. This was the only damage done on the two boats.
 Captain Henry Schulteiss was in command of the Glenn and Captain Charles c. Tooker of the Park City. Both boats continued to their destin- ations. Captain Tooker said this morning there was not a mark on his boat.
