HOFF CONQUERS CONSUMPTION.
Home Treatment Advocated Instead
of Banishment.
Instead of binding heavier burdens
on the consumptive and sufferer
from asthma by banishment to the
West it has been proven that the
home treatment with the simplest
medications brings about the best re
sults.
The American Bureau is distribut
ing gratuitously a valuable treatise on
asthma and consumption which con
tains rules and regulations relative to
dift, exercise, hygiene and medicinal
treatment for the cure of these mala
dies. It also points out ways and
means by which it may be safe to
•come in contact with the consumptive
patient.
The establishment of the American
Bureau is the result of the wonderful
achievements of Prof. Hoff, of the fac
ulty of the University of Vienna,
whoso success in the treatment of
consumption, asthma and catarrh is
little less than marvelous. His the
ories are to be promulgated in the
hopes of stamping the Great White
Plague from the continent.
The pith of this little book has been
copied by local boards of health, and
by addressing the American Bureau,
No. 49 Third avenue, New York City,
the book will be sent free to any suf
ferer from asthma or consumption.

no member of the household misses
an opportunity to speak to him and

Saw It Come Out of a Cow.
A little city boy and his sister Dor
othy were taken to the country for
.the first time.
The two children were happy as
the day was long. In the late after
noon they watched the cows come
home, heard with delight the tink
ling cow-bells, and the little boy
even went in the barns to see the
milking done.
At supper, just as Dorothy was
lifting her glass to her rosy lips, the
boy cried out:
"Oh, Dorothy, don't! You mustn't
■drink that milk. It's not fit to drink.
It came out of a cow. 1 saw it!"
Not a Hit as an Improviser.
"Did you ever hear anybody impro
vise?'' he asked.
"No," said she, and he sat down to
"the piano and improvised for about an
hour and a half. At the end of that
time he turned around, his face full
•.of expression, and said to her:
"What do you think of it?"
"Lovely!" she exclaimed. "Beauti
ful! I never heard anything like it!"
But this is what she said to the hall
boy when he was gone:
"If that long, lank lunatic who im
provises asks for ni» again, you tell
him I am out."
A Young Composer.
Rachel, aged 12, wrote an compo
sition on wild flowerr in which she
praised the arbutus, the liverwort,
the spring beauty, the blood root, and
.ail of the other blossoms of dell and
dale. But she wrote on both sides
•of her sheet of paper, and when she
.asked her father, who was an editor,
to publish her article, he called her
attention to that fact.
"You've written on both sides ot
your paper," said he.
"Well," was the reply, "and don't
you print on both sides of yours?"
Reason This Out.
An English quarryman was charged
with assaulting one of his mates, and
when the case was carried into court,
an eyewitness of the occurrence gave
some curious evidence.
"He tuk a pick an' he tuk a pick."
■tfhe witness began, "an' he hit him
wid his pick, an' he hit hijp wid his
pick; an' if he'd hit him wid his a3
hard as he hit him wid his, he'd have

Bush Over Buried Treasure.
There is a tradition in Germany
:'that it was customary in the Middle

"There's a Reason"
QUALITIES OF WIT AND HUMOR.
Alike, Yet In Many Ways Fundament
ally Different.
Wit and humor are such elemental
fundamental things that it has always
been found difficult to analyze them,
says a writer in The Atlantic. Upon
some points, however, those who have
essayed this puzzling task agree, for
they all hold that wit is an intel
lectual, humor an emotional, quality;
that wit is a perception of resem
blance, and humor a perception of
contrast, of discrepancy, of incongru
ity. The incongruity la that which
arises between the ideal and the fact,
between theory and practice, between
promise and performance; and per
haps it might be added that it is al
ways or almost always a moral in
congruity. In the case both of wit
and humor there is also a pleasurable
surprise, a gentle shock, which ac
companies our perception of the hith
erto unsuspected resemblance or in
congruity. A New England farmer
was once describing In the pres
ence of a very humane person the
great age and debility of a horse that
he formerly owned and used. "You
ought to have killed him," interrupt
ed the humane person indignantly.
"Well," drawled the farmer "we did
—almost."

THE KISS IN JAPAN.
One Western Idea That Is Popular
with Eastern Maidens.
She was a Japanese college student,
little and thin, but very graceful in
her Paris gown.
"The kiss," she said, blushing faint
ly, "was unknown in Japan SO years
ago. Now, among the aristocracy, it
is becoming quite renowned.
"Yet it comes as a great shock at
first. It is so different, you know,
from anything in a Japanese girl's ex
perience. I have known maidens who
fainted at a first kiss that was per
haps too warmly tendered. Yet these
very maids became afterward ardent
advocates of the new western em
brace.
"Frankly, I like the kiss myself. Its
stimulus, and the feeling, as of red
satin, when mouth touches mouth
with a warm, soft shock—yes, frank
ly, I like' the kiss, and I find it ex
tremely difficult to deny an eager
young man so innocent and so delight
lightful an embrace.
Willing Hands.
There is a good story going the
rounds in Pittsburg of a young man,
formerly a stock-broker, who dropped
many thousands in speculation during
the early spring.
One night, shortly after going to
bed, the Pittsburger was awakened by
strange signs. At his first motion to
jump up he was greeted by a hoarse
voice. "If you stir, you're a dead
man!" it said "I'm looking for mon
ey."
"In that case," pleasantly answered
the erstwhile speculator, "kindly al
low me to arise and strike a light. I
shall deem it a favor to be permitted
to assist in the search."—Harper's

BANK FAILURES FOLLOW BREAK
IN COPPER STOCKS.
DIVIDENDS ARE REDUCED.
A Bank in Hamburg, Germany, Fails
for $7,000,000 and the Heinzes
are Found to be in a
Bad Way.
New York City. Sensations fol
lowed each other in rapid succession
In the financial district Thursday as
the result of the collapse of the pro
jected corner in United Copper and
the suspension of a prominent broker
age firm Wednesday.
The firm of Otto Heinze & Co. was
suspended on the stock exchange.
P. Augustus Heinze, the Butte cop
per magnate, resigned the presidency
of the Mercantile National Bank of
New York.
The Amalgamated Copper Co. at its
directors' meeting cut its quarterly
dividend from 2 per cent, to 1 per
cent.
The directors of the Boston and
Montana Copper Co. declared a quar
terly dividend of $6 in place of a
former dividend of sl2.
The failure of Haller, Soehle & Co.,
prominent bankers of Hamburg, Ger
many, with liabilities that may reach
,500,000, was announced.
The State Savings Bank, of Butte,
Mont., of which the Heinzes are the
principal stockholders, suspended.
The suspension of Otto Ileinze &
Co., of which firm Max M. Schultze is
the stock exchange member, was
based on a complaint to the exchange
made by Gross & Kleeberg, the stock
exchange firm which failed Wednes
day. In a communication to the pres
ident of the stock exchange, this firm
charged Otto Heinze & Co. with re
fusing to accept 3,202 shares of Uni
ted Copper said to have been bought
on the order of the Heinze firm. This
action, Gross & Kleeberg state, was
responsible for their failure. Attor
neys for this firm stated that the
amount owing to the firm by the
Heinze firm aggregates $(>00,000.
The Heinze firm announced that it
is perfectly solvent and that all its
legal obligations will be met. The at
torneys say that the suspension by
the stock exchange was accepted by
the firm in order to give the latter an
opportunity to sift its legal obliga
tions from numerous claims which
have been made against it and which
It is alleged are not legal obligations.
Hamburg,Germany.—The old private
banking firm of Haller, Soehle & Co.
failed Thursday. The liabilities of the
firm are variously stated and it was
estimated early in the day that they
were in the neighborhood of $5,000,-
000, but the Hamburger Nachrichteu
says it is informed by a banker who
is in a position to know the facts that
the liabilities will reach $7,500,000.
A REGULAR WIRELESS SERVICE.
It Is Now in Operation, Transmitting
Messages Across the Atlantic.
Glace Bay, N. S. The inaug
uration of a regular trans-Atlantic
wireless service was accomplished
Thursday by William Marconi and his
assistants. Mr. Marconi stated last
night that more than 5,000 words had
been transmitted between the station
at Port Morien, six miles from here,
and the Irish station.
Invitations to a large number of
guests were issued for 2 o'clock in the
afternoon, but the world-wide interest
in the undertaking brought a flood of
messages in the early morning, and
the service was opened shortly after
daylight. Among those present at the
opening of the new service were rep
resentatives of a score of British and
American newspapers.
The station is the property of the
Canadian Marconi Co. and is estimat
ed to have cost SIOO,OOO, independent
of expenditures for experimenting in

A $2,000,000 BANK FAILURE.
One of the Wealthiest Citizens of
Texas Is Compelled to Assign.
Houston, Texas. —T. W. House,
private banker, on Thursday filed
a general assignment under the
state law. W. B. D. Cleve
land and J. S. Rice were named as as
signees. They gave bonds in the sum
of SIOO,OOO before Judge Kittrell. It
is stated that resources are sufficient
to pay creditors 100 cents on the dol
lar.
Inability to realize on securities not
readily convertible into cash is the
only cause given for the assignment.
The House bank was established In
1838 by the father of the present
banker. The back was not incorpor
ated and has never made a statement
of its affairs. House has enormous
holdings of land and other invest
ments in many portions of Texas and
has been rated as one of the state's
wealthiest citizens. It is said that the
bank has deposits of more than $2,

THE MAGILLS ARE ACQUITTED
SENSATIONAL MURDER TRIAL AT
DECATUR, ILL., IS ENDED.
He Said the State Had Failed to Prove
that the Defendants Were Guilty
of the Alleged Crime.
Decatur, 111. Acting under in
structions from Judge Cochran, a
jury last night acquitted Frederick
Magill and his wife, Faye Graham Ma
gill, of the charge of murdering Ma
gill's first wife. The judge said that
the state had failed to prove the
charges. The verdict was greeted with
cheers, despite the efforts of the court
to maintain order.
Mrs. Pet Magill was found dead in
bed at her home In Ciinton, 111., on
May 31. She had died of chloroform
asphyxiation. Notes pinned to the
bed by Mrs. Magill asserted that she
had taken her life because of constant
indignities thrust on her by her hus
band's relatives.
The coroner returned a verdict of
suicide and little was thought of the
case until five weeks later when Ma
gill. who was a bank cashier, and
Miss Faye Graham, a close friend of
Magill's daughter, were married in
Denver. The quick marriage caused
unfavorable comment in Clinton and
it was suggested that Magill and Miss
Graham had forced Mrs. Magill to
take her life by their actions and com
ments. so that they might marry.
Magill and his new wife were ar
rested at San Diego, Cal., after their
marriage, and brought back for trial.
The state charged that the notes
found in Mrs. Pet Magill's bed were
forged and that if Magill and Faye
Graham did not kill her they drove
her to suicidal despondency by their
actions toward each other. No proof
was produced to prove the charges,
and the final plea of the prosecuting
attorney was that Magill knew his
wife was suicidally despondent and
did not use proper means to prevent
the self-murder.
A LONG VOYAGE IN A BALLOON.
Two Army Officers Travel from St,
Louis Into West Virginia.
St. Louis, Mo. —Swinging through
the air at a speed estimated at 22
miles an hour, the United States sig
nal corps balloon No. 10, in which
aeronauts J. C. McCoy and Capt.
Charles DeF. Chandler, of the signal
corps, ascended at St. Louis Thursday
evening, passed over Illinois and In
diana Thursday night and across Ohio
Friday and last night probably landed
in the vicinity of Point Pleasant, \V.
Va. The distance covered is approxi
mately 500 miles, and the length of
the voyage won for the aeronauts the
Lahm cup.
The Lahm cup was instituted by the
Aero Club of America soon after the
international races at Paris in 1906,
when Frank P. Lahm won the James
Gordon Bennett cup for the Aero Club
of America. So joyful were the mem
bers of the club at the victory that the
cup was named for the pilot of the
balloon "United States," and it was
put up by the club to be won by the
aeronaut who traveled more than 402
ruiles, the distance traveled by the
"United States" in the Paris races,
provided the start was made from
American soil. Lieut. Lahm never
held the cup and this was the first,
time it was ever won.
The balloon, Stevens No. 21, in
which Alan R. Hawley and Augustus
Post ascended at 6:10 o'clock Thurs
day evening, landed Friday 16 miles
from Indianapolis and about 225 miles
on a straight line from St. Louis.
The balloon manned by Aeronauts
Oscar Erbsloeh and Hans Heidemann,
who compose one of the German
teams entered in the international
cup race, landed at Red Bud, 111., 30
miles southeast of here at 3:32 p. m.
Friday. The balloon started from
here at 1:05 p. m.for a trial flight.
DUN'S TRADE REVIEW.
Retail Business Broadens and Collec
tions Improve.
New York. —R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Autumn retail trade broadens under
the stimulating influence of favorable
weather, and collections also improve.
While reports are almost unanimous
regarding the satisfactory volume of
retail distribution of seasonable goods,
in other sections of commercial and
industrial activity there is some ir
regularity, attributed in most cases to
high rates for money, which induces
conservatism in preparations for the
future. Yet leading cities at the west
and south find no restriction in sup
plementary orders at wholesale, and
jobbers report that new lines for
spring are well received.
Copper declined still lower, but
prices were steady in the leading
metal industry.
Plates and structural materials are
the strongest departments of the fin
ished steel market, and bar mills have
enough business to operate during the
balance of the year, even if no more
orders are received. Consumers feel
sanguine that a waiting policy will
bring better terms. A fair demand is
noted for prompt shipment of mer
chant steel, very good news being re
ceived from makers of shafting.
In the textile industries the event
of the week was the cut in prices by a
Chicago house. There was no evi
dence of weakness in cotton goods
prior to that reduction, which in some
linos amounted to 20 per cent., and
eastern jobbers did not follow the
western movement.
