Show Name of Campbell:
Came From Pittsburgh

For three years "Mysterious Harry, y
sixtyfve years old, had been leaving
his tiny furnished room, at 205 West
Fifty-sixth Street, at 4:30 o'clock sharp
every afternoon for a Forty-seco
street restaurant where he was en-
ployed as dishwasher at $1S a week
At a. m, after finishing his ten hour
basement shift, he would return to his
furnished room. Invariably his key
ratified in the lock at 1925. His pro-
gram never varied
But yesterday "Mysterious Harry
didn't leave his room. Last night his
landlady, Mrs. Johanna Hunting,
learned why. When she went into his
room to tidy it up she wound him lying

leghany County Medical Society, dated
April 20, 1878. A certificate showed
the occupant of the furnished room to
have been a resident physician at the
Philade lphia Hospital.
Mrs. Hunting declared that she had
always known her lodger was man of
culture, education and refinement.
While naturally secretive. she said that
he had often told her that his wife and
one of his daughters were abroad and
that another daughter was celebrated
singer.
Lost His Money Here
"Mysterious Harry" as he was known
in the restaurant, came to New York
with money several years ago. He lost
it through an investment, it is believed,
and then moved into the little furnished
room in West 56th Street He formerly
had lived at the Hotel McAlpn.
For the last three years Campbell
had lived alone and never ventured out
of his room except when he started
for the restaurant at 4:30 O'Clock

One Hundred and Twelve
Casks of Venetian Glass
Ne1UTy Arriued Au Quatrieme
NcWly Arriued, Au Quatrieme

Over six months ago this
glass was ordered on the
Island of Murano, Italy.
Many of the designs are
the result of careful selec-
ton and elimination by our
collector; many of them
were drawn by the artists
who create the new forms
for the glass and then re-
drawn and altered until a
result that was thoroughly
practical for modern use
and was at the same time
charming and fower-like
was achieved. All of the
designs are entirely new,
but a collection of the de-
signs that Au Quatrieme
has formerly had in stock
was ordered, too, so that
people who have already
bought sets may replace
pieces that have been
broken.

the comparatively balmy weather. An
inspection of the bathhouses along the
beach revealed that the bathhouse

The prices charged varied from rs
cents for a locker to So for room

charged as much as $125 for a locker,
while those who demanded 81 for

came supplied with bathing suits were
compelled to rent suits from the bath

nlEEICuLT TREATIES

People who read history have long
ago learned that treaties that amount
ed to anything in this country have
had hard roads to travel. The wrang
bling over the Versailles treaty is
possibly something new for the pre-
sent generation, but other statesmen
inthe other days had their
troubles. The Philadelphia Re
cord recalls some interesting history
in the following
Citing historical parallels is about
as dangerous as climbing genealogl
cal trees; one is so apt to find mcre
than ane is looking for. After asking
the senate's permission to negotiate
with Algiers, it appears that Wash
Iington realized that neither the con
stitution nor courtesy required him
to seek the Senate's assent until
he had a treaty to submit for ratifica
tion, and it daes not appear that he
got the Senates consent i'll ad
vance for the negotiation of the Jay
treaty. The purpose Of that treaty
was to forestall the belligerence OF
the House, in which it had been pro
posed to sever all commercial rela'
Itions with England, which would
have resulted in war.
Jay came back in 1895 with a
treaty which he believed was the
best that could be get, but it fell fa'
short of satisfying Americans. The
IScnate ratified the treaty, except one
article, after some debate. and Wash
Iington did not send copy to the
House for its information until the
following March. The treaty got into
print and excited quite as much hos
Utility as the treaty of Versailles has
done. The Jeffersonians were pafticu

treaty sacrificed the interests OF
America to England. Jay was publicly
and frequently denounced as a trai-
tor. Alexander Hamilton was stoned.

sacrifice Of American interest and
for trucking to Great Britain.

the treaty of Versailles are. They
called George Washington as many

America could hope for from Great

Democrats who have the credit
for having managed this country
through the greatest success coun'
try ever had in war have right to
Law these conditions at the door of a
republican element in congress- that
will not let anything be done for re-
lief. These republicans have investi
gated everything down to the ques-
ton as to whether the president
should be adjudged crazy and have
nothing to their credit but the spend
ing OF millions in useless search for
graft and scandal.

publicans who assisted had foresight

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

In leaving the cabinet Secretary
Lane possibly revealed real trouble
when he stated that everybody Is
afraid # everybody else. That every.
body is trying to dodge responsibility
in these distraught times is situa-
ton to be regretted all over the
country.
1t means that accomplishments in
government are matters of history
till new president and members Of
congress are named. Nothing has
been done since the present congress
met, If we except the rail legislation
which has just been completed, and
that does not count at all. It was
forced. Congress had done nothing
with it at the first of the year when
the roads were to go back to theil
owners. The president had to put
congress on notice that he was not
going to extend the time later than
March 1.
There is not enough stability and
settled purpose in congress today to
create the least bit of fear in the pro
fiteers The discovery Of 2200 percent

FATHER AND SON.

From the Savannah Press:
The appointment of Charles r.
Crane to be Minister to China was
dramatic and unexpected one.
Mr.. Crane, who was selected for this
position in 1909 by President Taft,
was recalled after he had reached
San Francisco on his way to his new
post The objection of Japan is said
to have had something to do with
President Taft's action and reversal
Mr.. Crane was believed to be honest
ly in sympatha with the open door
commercial policy in China and to
have criticised the policy of Japan in
it's designs upon Manchuria. 1t re-
mains to be seen what Japan will say
now.
Mr.. Crane was a very strong sup
porter for President Wilson in 1912
and in 1916. His son was made chief
clerk of the State Department and af-
terwards promoted to the position of
Minister to Prague, where he now is.
This position was created when the
United States recognized Bohemia as
an independent country.
President Wilson is no undue re-
specter of precedents. The elder
Crane becomes Minister to China and
the son is Minister to Bohemia.
Mr.. Crane is a prominent manufac-
turer of Chicago.

COTTON VARIETIES

The farmers in sections recently
infested with the boil weevil are new
confronted with the additional pro
blem Of obtaining variety of cotton
which will not only produce well, but
be early enough to set a good crop Of
bolls before the weevils multiply in
sufficient numbers so as to destroy
all squares as quickly as they up
pear.
For a number of years the GetIgia
Experiment Station has conducted
trials with varieties of the various
field crops grown in the States,
I4ast year twenty-five strains and
varieties of cotton were included in
the test AS has been stated in a
former article, Cleveland was the
outstanding variety. Piedmont
Cleveland being first with 2166
pounds seed cotton per acre, and the
average for the six strains CT Cleve-
land being 1912.
There were but few weevils pre-
sent, but in order to determine in
some measure the portion of the
crop that might be counted upon
with heavy infestation, the yields un.|

Here again we find Cleveland show
,ins its superiority, as 1855 pounds
per acre (the highest Of any variety
in the tesO had been picked from the
Piedmont Cleveland plot by Oct. 1st
The other strains of this variety al
so gave a high percentage picked by
this date.
While it is obvious that the results
of one years trials cannot be re.
garded as conclusive, the fact that
this cotton has stood at or neiHr the
top in our variety tests for a mum
ber of years, proves conclusively that
1t is well adapted for the Piedmont
Section.
The following varieties have also
given good results with us, and are
ito be regarded as we'll adapted to
conditions prevailing in this section
of the State; Cook, No-Chop, Union

Owing to the fact that considera-
'ble fl,eas in the Southern part Of

wholly applicable to that section. 1t

that on land where no troouble is
