There is a dash and a ?o about her impossible to women of larger growth. In many instances she Is as nimble in mind as she is agile In body. Her thought flashes from one subject to another as her restless body dashes from this place to that. She combines the quickness and alertness of the bird with the easy playfulness i)f the kitten. —Madame. Big Wireless Station.

The year 1907 will mark the complex tion of the first century of Protestant missions in China. In 1807 Morrison sailed for China and labored for many years without a convert. In 1843 there were 12 missionaries and only six con verts. In 1803 there were less than 2,- 000 converts, now there are 150,000. The missionary force now numbers 3,- 270 persons. Jeweler Happy Too. Having sold for $25 to C. H. Bald win, {' Montpelier (Vt.) jeweler, a fresh water pearl which he had found, a small boy from Waterbury thought he was in great, luck and "rich" beyond the dreams of avarice." The jeweler, however, is also happy. The jewel weighs 28 grains, is perfect in shape and flawless, and has an estimated value of $3,500. Wilhelm's Voice. Dr. E. W. Scripture, who has been making researches in phonetics under a Smithsonian institution grant, has secured a gramophone record of the voice of Emperor William of Germany. It will be preserved by the National museum at Washington, and, of course will not be used in any public way in the kaiser's lifetime. Earth's Atmosjjhere. The atmosphere of the earth acts* very much in the same way as does the glass of a greenhouse—it allows the rays of the sun to pass through, but imprisons the heat. Thus it is ■colder on the top of a mountain than at the sea level, because, though the mountain-top is nearer the sun. the at mosphere is very much less dense. Desperate Effort. A French tailor, who advertised "English spoken," was sometimes at a loss for the right word. On one oc casion, wishing to tell a customer that her girdle was too high, he hesitated a moment, then, with a look of inspi ration, he said: "Madyame, your cur vature is too upstairs." Long Visit.

STUPENDOUS Fraud Is Charged Against Cleveland Financiers. "ELECTRIC MULE" Company Is Alleged by a Cincinnati Banker to have Been the Ve hicle for a Big Swindle. Cincinnati. Feb. 17. —Sensational j charges are made in a suit filed in the i United States circuit court Friday by attorneys for Rudolph Kieybolte, a Cincinnati banker seeking an investi gation of the Miami and Erie Trans portation Co., known as the "electric mule." The charge is that financiers of Cleveland, whose names are mention ed as defendants, floated $2,000,000 in bonds and $3,000,000 in stock on the sole strength of SIO,OOO paid up capital stock in that company, and that these stocks and bonds being placed on the market were taken in good faith by hundreds of innocent investors. Banker Kieybolte brings his action on behalf of all the creditors of the company, including the holders of bonds. The pith of the action is found in the allegation that the defendants pre sented to themselves $2,990,000 of the capital stock of the Miami and Erie Canal Co., which was issued to them as paid up stock, but for which they made no payments, and on the strength of which the company caused $2,000,000 ' in bonds to issue and to contract other debts. The petition asks that these defendants be compelled to pay par for that stock and the proceeds be ap plied to the debts of the company. There is pending in the Cleveland courts a suit to assess the liability against the stockholders on whom the original holders unloaded. Attorney General Ellis has also brought action to oust the concern from the canal 'banks. The bill seeks to set aside the contract between Lamprecht and as sociates and the company in so far as it exempts these defendants from pay ing for the $2,990,000 stock, and seeks to require them to pay for the same to satisfy the debts of the company, | which with the bonds amount to $2,- 000,000. Mr. Kieybolte alleged he has obtain ed judgment on 13 bonds of the com pany for $3,300, has issued an execu tion which he alleges was returned un satisfied, and that his investigation shows the company has debts amount ing to $1,500,000 and that its assets will not realize more than $200,000. He | also asks that these defendants be re j quired to turn into court the $21(3,000 they received for the sale of bonds and that the court appoint a receiver to collect these sums from the defend ants for the benefit of creditors. TRADE REVIEW. Manufacturers of Many Leading Staples Unable to Suppply Demand. New York, Feb. 17. —R G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Weather conditions have continued to stimulate retail trade in seasonable merchandise, part of the earlier un satisfactory results being offset by a vigorous demand for winter clothing and footwear, while household con sumption of fuel has revived retail trade. Nor has the possibility of a strike unsettled confidence in the fu ture, jobbing and wholesale sales of dry goods for the spring trade reaching a greater aggregate than last year, and ! collections are prompt in most in | stances. Manufacturers in most leading in dustries are falling further behind with deliveries, particularly in*" the j ;teel business, while increased capac i ity has not kept pace with require ments, but reports from the woolen mills are irregular. Failures this week numbered 241 in : the United States, against 258 last year, and 33 in Canada, compared with 32 a year ago. PAT CROWE GOES FREE. Alleged Kidnapper of Young Cudahy Is Acquitted by a Jury at Omaha. Omaha, Neb., Feb. 17.—Pat Crowe, charged with the robbery of Edward A. Cudahy, the Omaha packer, of $25,- 000 in connection with the kidnapping | of Mr. Cudahy's son five years ago, was acquitted Friday. The jury was ; out 15 hours. The kidnapping of Eddie Cudahy, December 19, 1900, anil his release upon payment by his father of $25,000 ransom created a great sensation and the search for the kidnappers was stimulated at the time by the offer of | a reward of $50,000 by Mr. Cudahy. Last October Crowe was arrested in Butte, Mont. He was put on trial Feb ruary 7. There was no evidence posi tively to identify Crowe as one of the kidnappers. Town Swept by Fire.
