In reply to a correspondent who
asks-:: "How can 1 stop biting my fin
ger nails?" the New York Herald
says: "Wear a muzzle." That might
do, adds the Chicago Record-Herald,
but wouldn't it be simpler for him to
have his teeth pulled?
Give a bore a stogie and he will
never trouble you again, lie may
hate, litil he will fear you. So even tho
stogie has its uses. Everything, says
the Quincy Daily Whig, has. in fact,
not barring the cigarette, v/hich as an
automatic fool-kill 1 has wonderful
potencies.
"We in London," says London Opin
ion, "have two music halls crowded
nightly by the exhibition of shapely
women clad in nothing but white paint
and classical atmosphere." Is this an
exaggeration, or is London really so
much more wicked than the worst
mining camp in America?
The duke of Abruzzi has visited
London to thank the British govern
ment and the Royal Geographical so
ciety for their assistance and the in
terest they took in his expedition to
Mount Ruwenzori, the famous "Moun
tain of the Moon" of olden geograph
ers.
During the demolition of some old
premises at. Racking (Essex), England
a glhse ? ottle, curiously shaped, was
taken from the chimney stack, whero
it had been carefully bricked in, and
when opened was found to contain a
copy of the lease of the property,
dated 1705.
Fort Mcl-lenry is 110 longer neces
sary for the defense of Baltimore, and
is to bo abandoned, but it will always
be remembered because over it waves
the "Star Spangled ilanner" of Key's
vision and song. It is reported that
Baltimore will maintain the fort as
a public resort, as Fort Independence
is maintained in Boston.
Folk who live along the rural free
delivery routes and have seen the car
rier trudge over heavy roads through
bad weather will approve the recent
gift of an automobile to a New Jer
sey carrier. It will help the postman
and at the same time speed the de
livery of mail. Nevertheless, one can
not help asking .whether a carrier's
modest salary will pay the running
expenses of a gasoline gig.
The great English battleship Dread
nought, which was tested at sea the
other day, developed a speed, accord
ing to unofficial announcement, of
nearly 22% knots an hour, and main
tained for eight hours an average
of 211/2 knots. This makes it
the faytest battleship afloat. The ship
is equipped with vurbine engines,
■which now seem to nave vindicated
themselves beyoin! any doubt.
One of tiie Philadelphia papers has
given considerable space to correspon
dence upon the problem of domestic
economy and the cost of living. Writers
whose resources vary widely have giv
en their experience and offered their
advice. One woman whose husband
gives her $F>,OOO a year for her lamily
of four is unable to get along comfort
ably on that sum. She wants a sample
bill of fare for a week, and also infor
mation as to where she can "get a hat
for less than $15." Another woman
with a family of three has less than
$5OO a year, yet says they "have the
best of everything and plenty of it."
A young college graduate has been
learning something about "practical"
politics. He attempted to wrest the
control of a New York assembly dis
trict from Tammany. When the cam
paign was over he found that the men
whom he had trusted to cooperate
with him had taken his money and
hired out to the other side. They took
his ballots, but did not vote them.
The "detective" whom he hired to
watch his rival turned out to be a lieu
tenant. of that rival, and some of his
professed followers stole his watch,
chain and diamond scarfpin.
Ristori, the great Italian actress,
once remarked: "I cannot portray vice,
but I can understand and realize
crime." All the more powerful pes
ssions were within her range—hatred,
jealousy, remorse, revenge—but her
love-making, except in farce, was, as
a rule, a failure. Her mind, like her
life, was so singularly crystalline that
she could not understand mere vice
"I would rather be a great murderess,' 1
said she, "than a morbid, sickly fan
tastica, such as are, for the most part
the heroines of your modern
drama."
At Salt Lake City indicts
Railroad Companies.
FOR LAND FRAUDS.
I
High Officials Representing the liar
riman and Gouid Corporations
are Also Indicted.
Salt Lake City, t'tuh. —The federal
! grand jury that is investigat
ing coal land frauds in Utah and
charges that railroad corporations
I have discriminated against certain
| shippers made a partial report Fri
j day. Indictments were returned
against the Union Pacific Railroad
i Co., the Oregon Short Line Railroad
Co., the Union Pacific Coal Co., Ihe
Utah Fuel Co. and several of the
highest officials representing the Har
riman and Gould corporations in Utah.
The indictment against the Hani
man Companies embraces the Union
I Pacific, Oregon Short Line, the Union
! Pacific Coal Co., Everett Buckingham,
general superintendent of the Oregon
Short Line, and J. M. Moore, general
I agent in Sail Lake City of tho Union
| Pacific Coal Co.
The iudictmert <'targes violation of
, tJIO inter-stale eoinni<T"i law, i'llegini\
i discrimination against I). I Sharp, a
| coal dealer in Salt Lake City, v.ho
j was forced out of business after he
j had cut prices below the prices
; charged by other dealers in coal.
The indictment against the repre
sentatives of the Gould interests em
| braces the Utah Fuel Co., 11. G. Will
iams, general manager of this com
pany; Robert Forrester, Alexander M.
' Cowie, general manager of the com-
I pany's store at Sunnyside, Utah; Ely
| Clark, the Utah Fuel Co.'s attorney at
Denver, and George A. Moore, the
i company's agent at Denver. They are
charged with defrauding and attempt-
I ing to defraud the United States gov
ernment, the charges being based on
| the methods pursued in acquiring title
to coal lands in Utah.
Two men indicted for perjury
i proved to be Theodore Schulte, em-
I ploye of an insurance firm, and
Thomas A. Moode, abstractor in the
county recorder's oiiice. Both were
arrested last night and released on
s—.-">00 bail. The charge of perjury
| grows out of the belief of the grand
j jury that the men acted as land loca
! tors for the Utah Fuel Co. and refused
to admit the fact when examined as
I witnesses.
Hen eh warrants for the arrest of
| persons accused in the two indict
ments were issued. Bonds in the case
i of each individual accused were fixed
i at $:;,ooo.
PERISHED* IN FIRE.
I Seven Men Lose Their Lives by the
Burning cf One of the Buildings
of Cornell University.
Ithaca, X. Y. —Smoke drifts across
Cornell campus from the ruins
of the Chi Psi fraternity house, the
burning of which at an early hour Fri
day was attended with a loss of life
that has thrown not only the univers
ity, but the whole city into mourning.
The dead number seven. Of these,
four were students, and the others
prominent townsmen who had re
sponded to the alarm in the capacity
of volunteer firemen.
Among the students who escaped
death in the flames seven were injur
j ed and of these C. J. Pope, of East
: Orange, N. J., it is feared, will not
I long survive.
The bodies of the dead with the ex
ception of those of W. H. Nichols, of
! Chicago, and F. W. Grelle, of East
j Orange, N. J., were recovered. Last
I night it was decided to dynamite the
i ruins to facilitate the search for the
missing bodies. The dead are:
Attorney Alfred S. Robinson, hook
and ladder company No. 3.
John C. Rumsey, hardware mer
chant, hose company Nq. 5.
E. J. Landon, salesman, hose com
pany No. 4.
F. W. Grelle, of East Orange, N. J.
O. L. Schmuck, of Hanover, Pa.
W. H. Nichols, of Chicago.
James McCutcheon, jr., of Pittsburg.
Dun's Review of Trade.
New York. —R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says: Lower
temperature has stimulated retail
trade in seasonable staples, but inter
est is most conspicuous in holiday
goods. Expectations of a record
breaking demand for Christmas spe
cialties are fully realized. Jobbing
and wholesale houses are doing well.
Congress.
Washington.—On the 7th the house
passed a bill repealing that portion of
the Wilson inter-state commerce bill
relating to convict labor made goods
and permitting the states to legislate
for themselves as to competition with
"free labor" goods. The senate was
not in session.
Harvard Beats Yale in Debate.
Cambridge, Mass. —Harvard won
the 17th annual debate with Yale
last night. Of the 17 debates Harvard
has won 13. The subject discussed
was "Resolved, that further restric
tion of immigration is undesirable."
Yale chose the affirmative.
Fuel Famine Forces Mine to Close.
Douglass, Alaska. —For the first
time in 20 years the great Tread
well mine is closed. Douglass and
Juneau are suffering from coal famine
and lack of fuel has resulted in clos
ing the mine.
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. THURSDAY DECEMBER 11906
TIME TO BE IT.
There was to he a circus In town
next day, and Robert wished togo to
see it unload; so he sought to obtain
his father's consent. The first (|ues
tion his father put.to him on being
approached was,"Have you asked
your mother?"
"Yes, sir," was Robert's prompt re
ply.
"What did she say?" the father pur
sued.
"She said I couldn't go," vvus the
frank rejoinder.
"What do you mean, Robert, by
coming to me to ask to do a tiling
after your mother has told you you
could not do it?"
"Well, papa," the little fellow ob
served, "I heard you say last week
that you're the boss of this ranch, and
I thought it was about time for you to
assert yourself."—J mitre.

"My friend, do you put your trust

"Xo, 1 put my riches in trust." —

Never Had.
Miss Flurty—Have I ever given you
reason to suppose, Mr. Smailpyle, that
I cared for you otherwise than as a
friend ?
Mr. Smailpyle—You have not. Miss
Flurty. 1 ought to have had sense
enough to know l hat when you ac
cepted kisses and presents from me
you didn't mean anything by it. —Chi-
cago Tribune.
What Need?
'•Oeordle, what in your father's oc
cupation?"
"His what, ma'am?"
"His occupation. What does he do
for a living?"
"Do? Fur a llvin", ma'am? flee!
lie's a plain cloVs p'leeceman wit' a
pull!" Chicago Tribune.

Lounger—Don't you get tired of
answering the same question: day af

Awfully. Somebody is always asking
me that one, you know. —Chicago Trib

If the old tilings make you tired,
Cut 'em out;
If they are no more desired,
Cut 'em out;
If at spelling you are slick,
If the old style makes you sick,
If the letters are too thick,
Cut 'em out;
—Yonkers Statesman.
All in the Point of View.
"It's a terrible thing to lead a dog's
life!" panted the cur with the tin can
attachment, crawling into a corner to
rest himself.
"O, I don't know," contentedly ans
wered the lap dog.—Chicago Tribune.
Not an Admirer of Phonographs.
"Mamma, will there be any phono
graphs in heaven?" asked the little
six-year-oid girl.
"No, my dear," was the mother's
reply. "That is the way we'll know
it is heaven." —Yonkers Statesman.
Two of a Kind.
"You want to marry my daughter?"
asked old Goldrox.
"Yes. sir," replied the young man.
"We have many things in common."
"But she is extravagant."
"So am I.' —Yonkers Statesman.
