Little Woman's Day.
Tliis is undoubtedly the day of thf
little woman. 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.
A wireless telegraph station which
is being established at Norddeich,
Germany, on the shore of the North
sea, is expected to do business with
Germany, Austria, Switzerland,
France. Great Britain, Denmark, the
greater part of Italy, Sweden and Nor
way and smaller parts of Spain,
Russia and the states of the Balkan
peninsula.
Missions in China.
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.
Prof. Baldwin, of Johns Hopkins
university, lias just returned from
Mexico, where, at the request of the
Mexican government, he has spent six
years inspecting the educational sys
tem of that country as a guest of
President Diaz.
"Facsimile of Herself."
A Massachusetts woman is some
thing of a Mrs. Malaprop. While visit
ing a friend in Dorchester she was re
calling old times and gossiping of her
friends and acquaintances, when she
said: "Poor sis, poor sis. She's a
mere facsimile of her old self."

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.
