In their opin ion the voyage will last only four or five days. Notwithstanding the fact that wom en reach a greater age than men they ' have proved a losing venture to life in surance companies.

Since the Paris bar has been open to women, not a few members of the fair sex have taken advantage of the new privilege accorded to them to plead at the Palais de Justice, says an ex change. The pioneer in this direction was Mile. Chauvin, whose debut as "advo cate" excited a great deal of attention, and whose presence in the cap and gown made a great sensation at the palais. Her debut, moreover, had the effect of setting the fashion among Parisiennes of wearing the white cravat of the French lawyers. Since Mile. Chauvin's debut in 1899 curiosity has died out to a great extent, and no bad effects of the law have been noticed. It is even possible that, if the good re suits could have been anticipated, the law would have passed the chambers by a unanimous vote, instead of by 319 to 174. As a rule, women lawyers have had men as their opponents at the bar, and one could imagine himself in a sort of judicial salon, if compliments and gallant speeches were the criterion. But the other day two women law yers found themselves antagonists in a case. It was funny to see the embar- TURTLES BORN BEFORE CHRIST. i iff - I , HI The oldest living Inhabitants of the earth are believed 1 to be a family of turtle» which have recently been exhibited in London.

CoiiKreNKiiian Who In Siiid to Itural Hid Suapender* Every Time He MnlteM u Speech. The most vehement speaker in con gress in recent times was Representa tive Brosius, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. His gesticulation was of vio lent energy. Private John Allen used to say that whenever Mr. Brosius made a speech he burst his suspenders. One afternoon Mr. Allen and a party were watching Brosius' exertions. "There they go now," Allen exclaimed. "I'll bet you his galluses parted that time or else he lost both buttons at the rear of his trousers. As soon as he stops talking we will go over and find out about it." After ten minutes more of gesticulations the gifted orator sat down, wiping the moisture that streamed from his brow and his cheeks. His collar was wilted, his hair was saturated with perspiration, and his shirt front showed visible evidences of the struggle. Mr. Allen approacned the matter delicately, calling the mem ber by his first name, complimenting him upon his speech and the force of his delivery, and finally remarking that he (Allen) could not indulge very much in gesticulations without "busting his galluses." "Mine parted about the mid dle of my remarks," remarked the ora- tor. innocently, whereupon Allen shook hands with him again and led his party away. Warn* AKiiiunt Too Milch Sweet.

Wlio t.lured Defiantly ul tlie Jurymen When They lie turned Their Vent lei. wax iC< iuun<lc<l lor Sentence One Week Ileuce. New Y'ork, Oct. 31.—For the secont time within two months Samuel .1. Parks, walking delegate of the House smiths' and Bridgemen's union, local No. 2, was convicted of the crime ol extortion in the court of general ses sions Friday afternoon. It too 1 : t' o jury just 12 minutes, during which time they took two ballots, to agreq tin theguilt.of Parks in extorting $504 from the Tiffany Studios, a firm oI contractors, under threat of keeping tbein from continuing work on build ings last January. It was shown at the trial that Parks had obtained SSOO from tho Tiffany firm as an "initiation fee" last January when the housesniiths anil bridgemen were on strike on three oi the Tiffany contracts in this city. 1 Parks claimed that this money was a fine levied by his labor union. Later | the fact developed that Parks liai! been disloyal to his union inasmuch as he permitted the Tiffany firm t<i | employ non-union men on jobs alte< I having received the SSOO. This accusation was not denied by the defendant or his counsel during I the trial, but the lati,_: - contended that Parks had given the nionej to the treasurer of his organization an«J that the entire transaction was 'I I business deal which, instead of being j a crime, afforded considerable busi ness advantages to the firm which I paid the money. Counsel for Parks | endeavored to introduce cr.rtiiicat.es | as to the prisoner's delicate state of ] health, but Judge Xewburger, before j whom the case was tried, refuse.l to j I'dmit tliem. James W. Osborne. Parks' chief j counsel, made an excellent defense, I although he had weak grounds to ; stand upon, while Assistant District i Attorney Hand placet! Parks in an i unenviable light both to the public ninl his fellow labor unionists in hi h summing up to the jury. In his charge Judge Xewburger, ! said that it made no difference what j disposition Parks made of the money ; after he had obtained it from the representatives of the Tiffany firm, ! if in the belief of the jurymen he had obtained it under a threat, direct or i implied, as that fact would constitute extortion, the crime charged against ! the prisoner. When the jury was polled and the ' verdict rendered Parks glared at tiie ! jurymen with the same look of de fiance which he maintained during tliis, as well as his previous trial. He was remanded for sentence a week hence. Parks is now awaiting the decision of the higher courts on a writ of error, having been sentenced J after his first trial to a term of not J less than two and a half nor more j than three and a half years in Sing Sing prison. The charge on which his former | conviction was secured also was ex j tort ion. "Tim" McCarthy, who. together j with Sam Parks is under two indict ments for extortion, failed to appear j in court and his bail of $2,000 was dei ; clared forfeited. A warrant for his ; arrest was issued. THE BECHTEL TRAGEDY. Coroner'a Jury ICctiirnn a Verdict— Arreftt ol the Murdered Lover and Her Family. Allentown, Pa., Oct. 31.—The cor oner's inquest in the case of Mabel j Bechtcl, whose body was found 111 au J area way outside her home on Tues ! day morning last, was concluded last j | evening with a verdict by the jury ■ | that the young woman's death was , ; due to a fractured skull from a blow inflicted at her home by some person I unknown to the jury, j, Mrs. Bechtel and the members of j | her family and Aloise Eckstein, the i J girl's lover, were called before the i ; jury, but on the advice of their attor- | | neys they declined to answer ques ; tions. oil the ground that they might incriminate themselves. The text of ' the verdict is as follows: "We believe that Mabel Beelitel j came to her death at G27 Cedar street j | (her home) between Sunday evening, | October 25, and Tuesday morning, Oc tober 27. and that death was due to a ] fractured skull from a blow inflicted! ;by some* person in the house un- ! known to the jury. We believe that | the inmates of the house, Mrs. Cath- ' i erine Beelitel, Myrtha Beelitel, John 112 I Bechtel, Charles Becntel and Aloise j I Eckstein are accessories after the | j fact of tin; crime." Warrants of arrest were served up ' on Mrs. Beelitel anil the members of i her family and Eckstein.

Baltimore, Oct. 31. —At a democratic mass meeting' held last night at the close of the campaign speeches were made by Edwin Wartield. the candi date for governor, and a number of leading democrats, including L'nited States Senator A. I\ Gorman. An im mense crowd was present and the speaking was preceded by stereopti can views illustrating the association of white and negro delegates at the late republican state convention. The important address of the evening was that of Senator Gorman, who in addi tion to his advocacy of the state ticket and his excoriation of the re publicans referred to President Jtoosevelt and the race issue as fol lows: "President Koosevelt. is a man of fine attainments and of honest con victions. He is young in years, im pulsive, ambitious; is a partisan and believes in his party, in his anxiety for its success he is liable to make mistakes, and in my judgment he has committed a most grievous error in forcing to the front an issue which must be deplored by all the conserva vative men of the country. "In every country where the race issue has arisen it has always car ried in its wake lamentable results, and has been attended by evil conse quences. 1 trust his earnestness and j impetuosity may be restrained and that he may be prevailed to accept wiser counsel in his treatment of the negro problem. "The Anglo-Saxon has never, and will never tolerate the social equality or the political domination of the ne gro race. The south has passed ; through scenes of turbulence and dis- J order and rape and riot. By ameml- I meats to state constitutions and by J legislation the whites have secured | control, for the time being, of their | own local governments, and the col j ored race is no longer a political fac | tor in any state south of the l'oto j mac. "For more than 30 years this ques tion has moused sectional feeling and divided parties. It has threatened the peace of the states, put In | jeopardy homes and paralyzed indus i trial efforts. All thoughtful men j realize that this canker upon the body politic must me eliminated and the su- I premacy of white government as j sured." LAND FRAUDS.

Capt. Mercer tel egraphed last night denying all charges of irregularity in connection with his work in Minnesota. "I certainly had authority for all contracts made by me," says Capt. Mercer, "and there were no opera tions except under contracts ap proved by the interior department.

JOHN MITCHELL DAY. -tllnrrn In the A• > Ili rail to Ol>» Ol>» nerved the Anniversary ol' a Victory lor Tlielr Union. Seranton, Pa., Oct. 30.—Thursday was John Mitchell day. That is to say all the l'nited Mine Workers of Amer ica in the Lackawanna and Wyoming regions were out on parade to the number of 50,000. Mr. Mitchell and Alexander T. Council, mayor of the city, rode in the#irst carriage. It was a holiday in the two valleys. All the mines were idle and every train brought throngs to Seranton. The "locals" from Forest City to Xanti cok*i; were in line after the carriages and they were interspread with about 50 bands. In his the mass meeting which followed parade, Mr. Mitch ell referred to statements made that he was ambitious iiv a political way and said that he could not be induced, to accept any political ollice. Ilis only ambition, he said, was to further the trades union movement. JI is speech in the main was a talk to the mine workers urging them t» loyally maintain their union, that they might be prepared to act collec tively when the present three-year working agreement expires and a new one has to be made. If they do not maintain the ynion. he said, they will suffer a reduction in wages. The goal to which the miners should aspire, lie said, was an agreement granting the eight-hour work day and recogni tion of the union.
